Farmer’s Blessed Girl

In the afternoon, the four masters and apprentices focused on composing poems. In addition to explaining to them the excellent poems and essays collected by Bai Dalang in recent years in the major exams, Mr. Zhuang also produced a booklet of poems and essays that were popular in Beijing in the past two years.

Man Bao was curious, "Where did this come from?"

Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "I asked Liu Gui to buy it. Some big bookstores have copied it in private. If you find someone, you can buy it."

Man Bao nodded, sir, who has been to the capital, must know many places that they don't know.

Mr. Zhuang pointed out their poems and essays, and told them some allusions. Seeing that it was getting late, he left with his hands behind his back, letting them think about it quietly.

Man Bao propped his chin and turned the pen, staring at his poems in a daze.

Bai Shan thought it over thoroughly, and when he looked up and saw her sitting blankly, he put down his pen and moved to sit next to her, "What's wrong with you? You are out of your mind when you give a lecture today, sir."

Man Bao came back to her senses and shook her head. She decided not to tell anyone, and she could only wait for Keke.

Bai Shan looked at her suspiciously and worriedly, but didn't press further.

Man Bao waited all night, and woke up in a daze the next day only to realize that she had fallen asleep at some point, she immediately ran into the system and shouted: "Keke——"

The system was very quiet, and still no one answered her.

Man Bao bowed his head and exited. After getting dressed, he took the wooden basin and went out to fetch water to wash.

Bai Shan had already woken up, and Bai Erlang was washing his face in the yard, when he turned his head and saw Man Bao's head drooping, he couldn't help blinking, he looked up and confirmed that Man Bao's eyes were indeed blue, he couldn't help but Laughing loudly, he happily asked, "Did you become a thief last night?"

Man Bao gave him a sidelong glance, and went to fetch water to wash in a muffled voice.

Bai Shan also gave him a sidelong glance, put down the book and chased after him.

Bai Erlang curled his lips, "Hmph, if you don't say it, don't say it, who cares to listen."

Bai Shan caught up with Man Bao, helped her scoop water from the water tank, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Keke didn't come back all night. Man Bao was very worried. She didn't want to talk about it at first, but seeing Bai Shan looking at her with such concern, she still couldn't hold back and asked, "What if a friend suddenly said something?" If I don’t say anything, it will disappear, what should I do?”

After a pause, Bai Shan asked, "Is that the friend who said empathy?"

Man Bao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bai Shan and nodded.

Bai Shan was silent for a while, then looked at her very embarrassed and said: "Burst him some more paper money when you leave, don't worry, this kind of thing can only wait, if he comes back, everything will be as usual, if he doesn't come back , that's a good thing for him, isn't it?"

Man Bao: "...burn paper money?"

Bai Shan nodded solemnly, "Yeah, burn some more for him. By the way, can he use it before we burn it? Otherwise, we'll burn his clothes and all kinds of delicious food?"

Man Bao: ...

Seeing that she didn't speak, Bai Shan thought she was sad, so he put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Don't be sad, I understand, in fact, you are luckier than me, I tried to look at it carefully, and my father said Never came back to see me."

Man Bao vaguely understood something, she just looked at Bai Shan and remained silent.

Bai Shan sighed.

When Man Bao heard this sigh, she couldn't help being reminded of her sadness, she also sighed, and simply sat down on the steps next to her.

Bai Shan sat next to her, saw that her eyes were red, so he looked around and found a handkerchief for her.

Man Bao took it, wiped away his tears and choked up, "It's always been by my side..."

Bai Shan was entangled for a long time before he said sadly: "I have checked a lot of books, and they all say that people and ghosts have different paths. If he always follows you, your body will be affected. I think your health was not good when you were young." There is also a reason for this.”

Man Bao already knew that they were not talking about the same person, but they were talking about the same thing. She looked at Bai Shan for a while, and finally wiped away her tears and said, "What if I really want him back?"

Bai Shan sighed and said, "Then we can only wait." After all, people and ghosts have different paths, so what else can they do except burn more paper money, clothes and other things as sacrifices?

Man Bao thought for a while, and felt that this was the only way now. She sighed, "Then just wait."

Seeing her worried face, Bai Shan got up and helped her carry the wooden basin, "Let's go, go wash up, morning class will be in a while, don't you have to go to the pharmacy today?"

Man Bao nodded.

Morning class is actually an activity for them to read and endorse by themselves. If there is something they didn't understand in the previous day's class, they can take the opportunity to ask the teacher for advice. It is usually an activity before breakfast.

After they finish their morning class, they can go to eat breakfast, and then they can do whatever they need to do.

Zhou Wulang didn't find a chance to talk to Manbao until he had breakfast, "I finished it when I came back last night. I forgot to tell you. We sold all the books. Yesterday Lizhong copied another twelve books. I I sold the rest this morning, do you think they will still copy it this morning?"

Man Bao thought for a while and shook his head, "Don't copy it. The exam is tomorrow. I can't copy much in the morning. I'm afraid no one will buy it in the afternoon. It's a waste of time."

Zhou Wulang nodded, "I think so too."

Zhou Lizhong, Zhou Liwei and Zhou Lijun heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, they were about to break their hands, they had never worked so hard when they were studying.

Seeing that Man Bao didn't ask for money, Zhou Wulang took the initiative to say, "I sold twenty-seven taels yesterday. If all the brochures can be sold today, then there are eighteen taels."

Man Bao nodded.

Seeing that she was still not happy at all, Wu Wulang couldn't help but scratched his head and asked, "What's wrong with you, you're not happy that we earned so much money?"

Mr. Zhuang also looked up at the eldest disciple.

Man Bao nodded perfunctorily and said, "Happy, Fifth Brother Qian set aside five taels for me, and you can divide the rest among yourself."

Five taels is her capital.

Speaking of this, Man Bao turned his head to look at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, "You guys still lack money from Senior Brother Bai, remember to return it."

Bai Dalang, who came from the next door to grab a meal, was almost choked, he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, why should my brothers care about these things?"

Man Bao said: "Brothers will settle accounts."

Bai Shan nodded, "I'll give it to the big cousin in a while."

Seeing Bai Erlang buried in his food, Man Bao gave Bai Erlang a kick under the table.

Bai Erlang yelled in pain, raised his head and said, "I see, I'll get it for elder brother later."

Bai Dalang looked at Man Bao, then at his stupid younger brother, and nodded his head.

It's really stupid, although she is a senior sister, but they are also brothers, okay, what's wrong with you resisting?

Mr. Zhuang sat on the head and ate all the porridge quietly, turning a blind eye to the small movements of the disciples. Putting down the bowl after eating, he wiped his mouth and said slowly: "Come to the garden in a quarter of an hour. Today we will sort it out from the beginning. I will give you a few questions for the teacher alone. You can do it and see."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang responded.
