Chapter 969: Being Blocked (Reward for the book friend "Xiao Kan Fengyun")
Bai Shan turned his head to carefully examine the pots of beautiful flowers in the corridor, speechless for a long time, "Sure enough, all beautiful things have flaws?"
“Who said that?”
"In the storybooks you gave me, someone said so."
There were too many things written in the storybook, so Manbao didn't delve into it. She walked over and picked out two pots of flowers that looked the most luxurious and had relatively rare varieties: one pot of chrysanthemums and the other pot of old-fashioned roses.
She said, "I'll just sell them these two pots."
The chrysanthemums have not yet bloomed, but there are already buds. They will bloom in a few days. The old-fashioned roses are large plants in a pot, with more than ten large buds on each plant. Two of them have already bloomed, and the others are half-open.
It’s an authentic bright red color. Manbao loves it very much. Mr. Zhuang also said that the color is very bright. They have been admiring this ancient rose these days.
But Manbao didn't feel bad at all about giving it away, because among all the flowers, this one cost the least points.
Manbao also asked Bai Shan, "Can you help me pick a nice name? When I hang it up, it will look grand and valuable when I tell others about it."
Isn’t the name that was taken out still called by the people in Yizhou Palace?
Bai Shan was not very willing and said casually: "Isn't Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon? We can keep this flower until Mid-Autumn Festival and take it out to appreciate it again. So let's call it Chang'e Flying to the Moon."
Manbao thought about it and thought the name was good. He gave it a thumbs up and said, "You're much better at naming than I am."
Bai Shan smiled and said to her in a fake polite way, "No, no."
The two of them watered the flowers and chatted. Manbao asked, "Have you found a recipe for making wine for me?"
"No," Bai Shan said, "I didn't see it in the library. I also asked Feng Zongping, but he doesn't know much about this kind of miscellaneous books. He's been in the Imperial College for several years, but he doesn't know as much as I did in the month I was there."
"However, I haven't found the method for making wine, but I did find three recipes for making wine. I've copied them down and will bring them to you later."
Manbao felt that brewing wine was a waste of grain, and nodded indifferently. She didn't need it now anyway, so she wrote it down and gave it to future generations when there was more grain.
It is always a good idea to collect books.
"Have you made any friends?"
"No." Bai Shan paused and said, "Peng Zhiru and Lu Xiaofo can't make friends either."
So it's not his fault that he doesn't make friends.
Manbao glanced at him and knew his character, so he didn't force him to make friends. But he still said, "Be kind to others and don't quarrel with them."
"I know. I won't argue."
Just as he finished speaking, Bai Erlang ran in from outside, sweating profusely, "Bai Shan, did you have a fight with Yin Huo from your class today?"
Manbao: ...
Bai Shan: ...
Bai Shan glared at Bai Erlang unhappily and said firmly, "No!"
"You're still lying! The news has spread to our Imperial College. You and Yin Huo had an argument in class."
Bai Shan said: "That's not called quarreling, that's called arguing."
"How could I not know about quarrels and arguments? You and Manbao have been arguing a lot since you were little. I heard that you scolded Yin Huo in class until his face turned blue and his eyes turned red. After class, he overturned his desk and started crying. People at school said you made him cry."
Bai Shan: "...He started to scold me first, and I didn't scold him."
It was just a few sarcastic remarks. He used to curse Manbao in a bookish way when they fought. How could he know that he was not even as good as a girl? At such an old age, he couldn't win the argument, no, he just cried when he couldn't win the debate.
Bai Erlang looked at Manbao and said, "See, I said he cursed, didn't I?"
Bai Shan couldn't help but stretch out his foot to kick him and reiterated, "I didn't curse!"
Bai Erlang jumped back, dodging nimbly, and shouted, "I didn't curse, so why did you kick me?"
He said, "You know, Yin Huo has six older sisters, and he's the only child in the family. When I came back, Qiao Tao told me to be careful when you go to school tomorrow, and not to be blocked by his sisters outside the school."
Manbao was stunned. "You can't win the argument by yourself and you still need to call your family?"
"This kind of thing has happened before. In April, not long after Yin Huo started school, he was beaten by Liu Huan from your Imperial College. As a result, Liu Huan was stopped by Yin Huo's three sisters on the way, which made Liu Huan lose face."
"Did they fight or quarrel?"
"None at all," Bai Erlang thought about it, even confused himself. He scratched his head, "I heard they just talked together, but it's so embarrassing."
Manbao also breathed a sigh of relief, patted Baishan on the shoulder and told him to take care of himself.
However, she was also a little unhappy. "When I fought with you, my brothers never came to bother you. How could the younger ones be defeated in a fight and then the older ones come out to pick a fight? It's not like they fought very fiercely."
Bai Shan said angrily: "Didn't you say you never fight?"
Manbao: "Who am I standing up for?"
Bai Shan snorted and didn't take the matter seriously.
He didn't think that Yin Huo's sisters would come to him. They just had a few arguments in class. Was it that serious?
Unexpectedly, the next day, their carriage was stopped by another carriage shortly after it entered the main street.
When Daji saw the carriage suddenly appearing sideways, he subconsciously tightened his grip on the reins. Just as he was about to move the carriage back out of the way, another carriage became blocked from behind. At the same time, a carriage also appeared sideways from the side, instantly blocking the lanes of the street.
Daji tensed his back and placed his hand on a wooden plank beside him. He pressed it slightly, and the plank loosened slightly. He was about to take out the sword, but Manbao had already opened the curtain, and three people's heads popped out.
Daji pressed the wooden board to pause the action.
Manbao shouted at the carriage, "Hey, how are you driving a carriage? This is illegal, you know?"
Drivers: ...
The person in the car who was about to speak: ...
A light cough was heard, and then a soft female voice asked, "Is this the Bai family's carriage?"
Manbao quickly responded, "Yes, could you please move your carriage aside? The whole street is blocked. Everyone is rushing to go to work or school. Look how many people are stuck at both ends."
The three carriages suddenly fell silent. The onlookers nearby looked at Le. Some who recognized Manbao immediately responded loudly, "Yes, yes, this has blocked the entire road. How can we walk?"
A young man stuck his head out of a car that was also stuck. After seeing the three carriages clearly, he immediately became excited. He climbed to the front and pushed his own driver, whispering, "Hurry up!"
The driver didn't dare. The young man was so angry that he punched him and said, "Hurry up and yell as I taught you, or I'll go home and tell my grandmother that you drove badly and bumped me."
