Chapter 907: Whisper (Happy birthday to the daughter of the book friend "One Stroke to Cut Through the World")
After April, the weather started to get hotter and the days became longer. Every day she would get out of bed at dawn, wash up, and run to the river to read aloud.
San Tou, San Ya and Si Tou, who were still studying, couldn't help but get up early and run to the river to read in the morning. After giving themselves a morning lesson, they ran back to have breakfast, and then each carried their own small school box to go to school.
Santou and the others went to school, while Manbao went to study with Mr. Baijiazhuang.
Mr. Zhuang also resumed his previous teaching habits. Every day, the three of them had separate classes. Manbao and Baishan could take the same class, while Bai Erlang had a separate class and then gave them guidance on their homework.
Old Madam Liu had obviously talked to Mr. Zhuang, and he also knew about the feud between their two families and the King of Yizhou. The matter could no longer be concealed at this point.
After all, Bai Shan and Man Bao might be summoned to the capital. As their teacher, Mr. Zhuang is naturally bound to them, so it is impossible for Madam Liu to hide it from him anymore.
So Mr. Zhuang has been very strict with their homework recently. Even Bai Erlang, who has always been favored, has been overwhelmed by the homework.
The three of them started studying as soon as they opened their eyes and continued studying until bedtime. Manbao had less homework than Bai Shan because she also had to teach herself medicine. Mr. Zhuang specially set aside two hours for her.
Doctor Ji saw that she had not returned to Yizhou City for a long time, so he sent someone to send her a letter.
Manbao didn't dare tell him the truth, and only said that something happened at home and she might not be able to go to Yizhou City to study medicine for a long time, but they could communicate through letters.
Manbao felt very sorry for Dr. Ji. After all, they had agreed to learn from each other and make progress together, but she ran away.
So she asked Teacher Mo to sort out many proven prescriptions, copied one and sent it to Doctor Ji, and now they are exchanging letters.
Manbao also learned about Master Guan's condition from Doctor Ji.
Mr. Guan's condition is worse than expected. I don't know if it's because he's thinking too much or worrying too much, but now he even has difficulty swallowing. Doctor Ji wrote to say that he has to go to the Guan family every day now, and Mr. Guan will only be alive in a few days.
But the strange thing is that he just doesn't allow Guan Erlang to come back, and even gave a death order that if Guan Erlang comes back with his eldest grandson, he will directly drive him out. Now the Guan family is in a mess.
Of course, this was because Doctor Ji was the doctor who treated the patient and only he knew this. In the eyes of the families in Yizhou City, Master Guan's condition had improved, so Master Guan forced Guan Erlang to take his eldest grandson out to study. As a result, Master Guan caught a cold when he got up at night, and his condition worsened.
Unfortunately, Guan Erlang and his men did not take the original route back to the academy, so the servants of the Guan family were unable to find Guan Erlang and the eldest grandson of the Guan family for a while.
To outsiders, this was a helpless miss, no wonder Guan Erlang was so angry, and naturally, they would not find Guan Laoye strange either.
Manbao didn't know that when she received the letter, Master Guan was already at the end of his strength. He woke up in the middle of the night and seemed to be in good spirits, which was rare. Doctor Ji nodded quietly to Guan Dalang, indicating that they could prepare for the funeral.
County Magistrate Tang received the news and rushed over.
Master Guan, who had always been very polite to County Magistrate Tang, couldn't control his expression this time. He simply fell in love and asked in a hoarse voice, "Master Tang, are you going to stop tolerating my Guan family?"
County Magistrate Tang: "No."
"Then please leave, Master Tang, and don't come again."
County Magistrate Tang looked at him seriously for a long moment and then said, "I remember being entertained by Master Guan when I first arrived in Yizhou City. It is only fitting that I should see you off now."
Master Guan looked at him quietly for a long time, then closed his eyes and ignored him.
Guan Dalang didn't understand what they were talking about, but he didn't care at this moment. He stepped past County Magistrate Tang and asked in a low voice, "Father, what would you like to eat?"
Master Guan thought for a moment and said, "Go cook a bowl of noodles. I suddenly feel like eating noodles."
Guan Dalang agreed, went to instruct his servants, and then came back to serve Master Guan.
Master Guan did not shy away from County Magistrate Tang and directly instructed Guan Dalang in front of him, "My funeral should be simple. Erlang must not be called back. I have already made all the instructions. The body will be kept in the charity cemetery next to the City God Temple. Then you can tell the palace to escort the body back to the hometown."
Master Guan paused and said, "If Your Majesty disagrees, you can just stay at home to keep vigil, and don't rush to bury the coffin. I want to return to my hometown for burial."
But their family had settled in Yizhou City since his great-grandfather. Compared with Yizhou City, his hometown, which he had only visited twice, seemed like a strange place. He still didn't understand why his father insisted on returning to his hometown and didn't allow Erlang to come back to worship.
Mr. Guan talked a lot and ate another bowl of noodles, and his energy gradually disappeared.
All the relatives of the Guan family came to the yard, and Guan Dalang's wife was also in the house helping to deliver some things. County Magistrate Tang sat in the corner drinking tea and did not disturb them.
The Guan residence's housekeeper hurried in and said, "Master, someone is coming from the palace."
County Magistrate Tang looked up, and Guan Dalang quickly stood up and said, "Father, I'll go out and take a look."
Master Guan also opened his eyes at once, and his hands clenched into fists under the quilt. He pointed at Guan Dalang's wife, and Guan Dalang said he understood, "Don't worry, father. We will take good care of the people in the palace."
Master Guan nodded slightly, watched them leave, and then looked at County Magistrate Tang.
County Magistrate Tang's heart moved, and he walked over to him. Seeing his mouth move slightly, County Magistrate Tang sat down next to him and put his head close to his mouth, "What do you want to say?"
Master Guan closed his cloudy eyes and said in an inaudible voice, "Dongxi Manor..."
"What village?"
Master Guan tightly shut his mouth, then closed his eyes and repeated it again. His voice was still very low, but County Magistrate Tang heard it, "Dongxi Manor..."
When Guan Dalang led the people from the palace in, County Magistrate Tang was still sitting in his seat drinking tea. He gently stroked the tea stains on the corner of his clothes and looked at the people who came in with a smile.
The person who came was an official from the palace, who used to be a subordinate of Lord Guan. When he came in and saw County Magistrate Tang, he was slightly stunned.
Although he was an official of the royal palace, he also had a rank, so County Magistrate Tang stood up and saluted him, explaining, "I am a chess friend of Master Guan. I heard that Master Guan was seriously ill, so I came to see him."
The officials in the palace had no doubts, because Master Guan was indeed good at making friends. In the past ten years or so, more than half of the talents recruited by the prince were obtained through his friendships.
He stepped forward and looked at Master Guan with concern, and whispered, "The prince is very worried about you, so he asked me to come and see you."
He had just seen the Guan family preparing for the funeral and knew he didn't have much time left, so he sighed and asked, "If your Excellency has any unfulfilled wishes, please tell me and I will report them to the prince."
I wish the daughter of the book friend "One stroke to cut the world" will become more and more beautiful and happy every day
