Chapter 943 Return
Bai Shan and his classmates will take the exam for three consecutive days, from the first to the third day of July. There will be forty-eight students taking the exam, but not fewer teachers, so the results will be announced on the fifth day.
It is said that the exam will last for three days, but it is only held in the morning. There will be no exam in the afternoon.
Manbao came out of the pharmacy, climbed onto Daji's carriage, and went to the gate of the Imperial College.
The students of the Sixth School came out one after another after class. Bai Shan and his classmates had to hand in their papers and clean up their desks. When they came out with their exam baskets, Manbao had been waiting at the gate with his chin in his hand for almost a quarter of an hour.
When Manbao saw Bai Shan appear in the opposite gate, she raised her eyelids and waved lazily, indicating that they were here.
Bai Shan saw it and pulled Bai Erlang over to find it. Bai Dalang followed behind them, shook his head, and walked over as well.
Before Bai Shan and the other two came up to him, Man Bao heard a buzzing sound of electricity in his head. Man Bao's eyes lit up. After a few buzzing sounds, Man Bao heard a familiar voice ringing in his head, "Host..."
Manbao jumped down from the shaft of the cart with a "Yeah" and jumped twice on the spot in excitement. Not only were Bai Shan and the other two frightened, but even Daji was startled and looked at Manbao with his back tensed.
The students walking nearby were also frightened by Manbao's loud shouting. One of them felt his legs go weak and almost fell to his knees.
Manbao was radiating joy and excitement. He jumped twice on the spot and happily patted his chest with Bai Shan and the others and said, "Senior Sister will treat you to dinner."
Everyone: ...
Koko: ...
After a long silence, Keke said, "Host, daffodils can be included."
Manbao then responded to Koko in his mind, "Koko, are you okay?"
"It's okay, just a program anomaly. It'll be fine after the antivirus self-check." Keke brought the subject back. "Daffodils are a rare species, with high ornamental and research value. I suggest the host include them in the collection."
"Collect it, collect it, I'll collect it when I get back." Manbao was extremely happy.
Bai Shan and the others finally came to their senses and saw Manbao laughing so hard that his eyes were almost invisible, his mouth was wide open, and no one knew what he was happy about.
Bai Erlang clutched his heart and asked fearfully, "No way, is she so grumpy these days because we have an exam? So now that we're done with the exam, she's happy? But she shouldn't be this happy, I'm not that happy myself..."
Bai Shan looked around, especially at the open space between him and Manbao. He stared at it carefully, suspecting that Uncle Zhou had returned again.
Manbao finally calmed down a bit, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. "Just tell me whether you're going or not."
"Go ahead, where are we going to eat?" If someone is treating you, why not go?
Bai Erlang even pulled his eldest brother along, "Brother, let's go together. Where do you think the food is good?"
Bai Dalang felt that his younger brother was really ungraceful. Manbao was the youngest and a girl, so how could he let her treat him to a meal?
Who knew that Manbao also looked at him and asked enthusiastically: "Brother Bai, you came to the capital earlier than us. Which restaurant do you think has the best food?"
Daji had already looked around and confirmed that there was no danger. He then glanced at Manbao and said, "Masters, Miss Man, let's get in the car and go home. Mr. Zhuang is still waiting at home."
Everyone then remembered that Mr. Zhuang was still waiting at home, and immediately climbed into the carriage to go home.
The way home was lively and the whole car was filled with laughter.
Although Bai Shan was a little worried in his heart, he couldn't help but relax when he saw Man Bao smiling so happily.
Manbao has been looking sullen these days, while Bai Shan and Bai Erlang are troubled by exams, so the atmosphere has been a bit tense these days.
Today's exams were over, and once Manbao let go, everyone became happy. Bai Erlang, carried away by his pride, turned around and said to Manbao, "Why don't we go to Zhuangyuanlou for dinner? I heard the wine there is particularly delicious."
When Manbao heard the name of Zhuangyuanlou for the second time, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How do you know the wine in Zhuangyuanlou is delicious?"
Bai Erlang pointed at Bai Dalang and betrayed him, "My eldest brother said so."
Bai Dalang: ...
Manbao asked, "Is only the wine delicious? Are the dishes tasty?"
Zhuangyuanlou is not cheap. For Manbao's sake, Bai Dalang said reluctantly, "It's just okay."
Seeing the expression on his face, Manbao and Bai Shanbai Erlang looked at him silently. Could he be more sincere when he said this? Did he think they were fools?
Bai Erlang looked at Manbao.
Manbao said unhappily, "You can't drink, so why are you looking for a place with good wine?"
"Just to see for yourself. Besides, I don't drink, so you drink, sir." Bai Erlang said, "Sir, you like to drink."
This is true, Manbao thought.
Although Mr. Wang rarely drinks alcohol and mostly drinks tea, Manbao could see from the few times he did that he was very happy when he drank good wine.
Bai Shan said, "Sir, you've been working hard these past few days. Why don't we three pay for a drink together?"
Bai Dalang immediately said, "Count me in."
So as they talked, they decided to pay together. Manbao and Bai Erlang had no objection, and after discussion, they decided to stay at Zhuangyuanlou.
Daji sent the group of people who were talking excitedly home. Mr. Zhuang was waiting in the study. As soon as the children arrived, he realized something was wrong. Everyone seemed very happy today and the atmosphere seemed very good.
His eyes slid over the four people and finally landed on Manbao. He couldn't help but smile slightly. It seemed that there was no need to talk to this child.
Mr. Zhuang pointed to their table and said to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, "Come, write down the title. Do you remember the poem you wrote?"
The last day's exam was about poetry and prose.
Bai Shan nodded and went forward to write the question.
Bai Erlang still remembers the poem he wrote.
Seeing them talking about the exam, Manbao quietly slipped into the yard to look for her daffodils.
She seemed to have neglected the daffodils since she had brought them back.
The daffodils were no longer under the original eaves. Manbao turned around but couldn't find where the flowers had gone.
Zhou Lijun was sitting under the eaves sewing. Seeing her aunt circling like a cat trying to catch its tail, she couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, what are you looking for?"
Manbao asked, "Where are the daffodils? The ones that look like garlic."
"I moved it under a tree in the small garden," Zhou Lijun said. "Didn't my aunt say it grew by the water? It must like shade. The sun is so strong right now. I was afraid it would die under the eaves, so I moved it under the tree."
It's much cooler there.
Manbao nodded and started searching around again, "Lijun, do you have any empty flower pots at home?"
There were no flower pots, but there were some chipped jars or large basins, and a wooden basin with a leaky bottom. They were all left by the previous tenant. When Liu Gui and his friends were cleaning up, they piled their things in the front yard. Zhou Lijun saw them and didn't let them throw them away, thinking that it would be good to fill these wooden basins and jars with soil and plant some onions and garlic.
See you tomorrow
