Chapter 777
Bai Shan snorted and turned his head. Man Bao also snorted and turned the other side.
Bai Erlang doesn't worry at all. Anyway, they will be well by themselves in a while.
Daji, who was driving outside, was even less worried. He kept his eyes half closed from beginning to end and let the horse run slowly. He was not in a hurry at all.
When they got to the county, Daji found a place to park the car. The three carried their hands together and walked down the street in high spirits.
At this time, it was evening. The shops on both sides of the street had hung up their lanterns. There were rich squires and businessmen who made lamp mountains together and occupied a good position in the county city. When night fell, these lamp mountains would be lit up and the whole county was bright.
Man Bao and his family just saw various lanterns at this time, which didn't seem too shocking, but the people walking along the street were very shocked. They didn't watch the Lantern Festival in the county less, and felt that this year's Lantern Festival seemed particularly lively.
"I counted nine lantern mountains. How beautiful they would be if they were lit up at night."
"This year's lights are much more than in previous years. It is said that the county government has also made one, and master Zhang's family has also made one. Master Liu's family is the most powerful. They have made two lamp mountains, saying they should be paired."
Man Bao and his family sat in the chaliao and listened to gossip with great interest. Soon the topic came to the people they knew.
"If we are rich people in Luojiang County, the Bai family in baimaguan town is also a family, but why have we never seen his family make Dengshan?"
"Pull it?"
"Not necessarily. You see, master Bai pays for the construction of bridges and ditches in the county every year. He donated some cotton clothes and quilts to the poor households in the county at the winter solstice last year." A humanitarian: "I wrote in the county government office and secretly calculated that in this full County, in addition to the county magistrate, Master Zhang and then master Bai do the most good deeds every year."
"Master Bai is also rich. Why not make Dengshan?"
"Master Bai doesn't come to the county for Lantern Festival. Why do you spend so much money to build a lantern mountain?"
Bai Shan and man Bao stared at Bai Erlang. Bai Erlang lowered his voice and said, "my father makes a lamp mountain in mianzhou city every year, but he didn't do it this year."
Man Bao asked curiously, "why?"
"Because my eldest brother will go to the capital for an examination after the new year. He is no longer in mianzhou. Who will build momentum for Dengshan?" Bai Erlang whispered, "my father said that when my eldest brother is admitted to the Imperial College, he will let people do Dengshan in the capital, which will cost more."
Bai Erlang never bothered about money, but his father talked a lot about it, so he became more interested and said to them: "my father said that he would watch the lanterns once a year. After watching them once, the lanterns would be useless, and the money would be wasted, so he had to use it on the blade. When my eldest brother studied in the government, he asked people to make a lamp mountain in mianzhou City, so that people would not underestimate my brother. When my brother went to the capital, he made a lamp mountain for my brother in the capital. When outsiders saw it, they knew that my family was not incompetent, so they didn't dare to bully my brother. "
"When I get into Yizhou government school in the future, my father will light the light mountain in Yizhou city..."
Man Bao asked, "do you want your father to light the lantern mountain for you?"
"No." Bai Erlang whispered, "the Dengshan made by my family is general. I have to guard the Dengshan when I look back. It's better to see someone else's Dengshan."
Man Bao and Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief, gave him a thumbs up and boasted, "your idea is correct."
Bai Erlang smiled, scratched his head and whispered, "mainly, I don't think I can be admitted to Yizhou government school."
Bai Shan thought carefully and said, "I can still pass the exam, that is, I may have to study more than two years."
Bai Erlang's eyes brightened and asked, "really?"
Bai Shan nodded, but his face was sad. "But two years later, I should also get the place to go to the capital for the examination. Will you go to the government school or follow your husband?"
Bai Erlang was stunned and got angry. "How did you know you could go to the capital?"
Man Baole said, "this is called confidence."
"Then why do you have to go to the capital with you, sir? I'm also Mr.'s disciple. I'm still a little disciple. Can't Mr. stay in Yizhou city with me? "
"Because two to one, we have more people than you, and the minority obeys the majority. Sir must go to the capital with us."
Bai Erlang was stunned and looked at man Bao. "Can you not go to the capital? The capital is so far away that you may not come home for a year."
Bai Shan said, "how could she not go?"
"Why did she go?"
Bai shanleng said: "she was going to..."
As for why I must go
Bai Shan scratched his head. Isn't it inevitable? Why should there be a reason?
Bai Shan turns to look at man Bao.
Man Bao meditated and asked, "there must be many flowers and trees in the capital that I haven't seen, insects, fish, birds and animals?"
Bai Shan nodded and Bai Erlang shook his head.
Koko said, "go."
Man Bao waved his fist and said, "I'll go!"
Bai Shan opened his big smile and smiled proudly at Bai Erlang, which made Bai Erlang angry.
Man Bao said to Bai Erlang, "you're stupid. You've been in Yizhou city for three years. You've played all the places you should play. Why don't you go to the capital? Anyway, there is no problem reading with a gentleman. "
Bai Shan said, "if you don't understand, senior brother, I can teach you. Anyway, I've been to the government school. I know how gentlemen teach."
Man Bao was unwilling to show weakness and immediately said, "elder martial sister, I can teach you too. I read a lot of extracurricular books. What do you want to learn?"
Although they were all good intentions, Bai Erlang felt very angry, so he turned his head and ignored them.
Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other and laughed like two little squirrels. Then one of them took him aside and dragged him up and said, "OK, don't be angry. Let's go and play. It's still a long time before dark. Why don't we go and have a look at the Dengshan mountain of the county yamen first, and then go to the restaurant and set a good seat to sit down."
"The light hasn't been lit yet. What's the point of going to see it now?" Bai Erlang didn't want to move. He said, "let's go directly to the restaurant to locate it, so as not to be late and have no place."
But the county is no better than Yizhou city. Few people will go to the restaurant to set the location. Even if it is getting dark, there are still many empty positions.
There are even good seats, good boxes.
The three men Bao were very happy. After looking at several boxes, they decided to have the best view and gave them money to serve tea and snacks.
The boy went down with the money very happily.
Bai Shan opened the window and looked out for a while. He said with a smile, "this position is good. Almost half the street is in the bottom of his eyes. You can see several lamp mountains."
