The three of them were a little scared when they were sitting in the carriage.
Bai Shan poked his head out and took a look at the two servants who were following them on horseback, then retracted his head, and sighed with Man Bao: "I finally understand why Daji asked the servants to follow as soon as he found someone staring at us. Are people this scary?"
Man Bao shook his head solemnly and said, "No, it's the big families that are so scary."
Bai Erlang said: "My family is also a big family, and my family has never killed anyone."
Bai Shan nodded, "I don't have any either."
Man Bao: "Are you ashamed to say that your family is a rich family?"
Since he was a child, he has been the tyrant of Qili Village. His family is not only the number one in Qili Village, but he is also well-known in the entire county. , but the self-confidence cultivated since he was a child has not been hit much, so he can still nod to Man Bao proudly, "What's there to be embarrassed about, my family has a lot of land, and my family has a lot of money. My servants There are also many tenants!"
Bai Shan, who is also very confident, nodded, pointed to Bai Erlang and said: "My family has more land than his family, my family has more money than his family, and my family has more tenants than his family. I have only one son in my family, and the future will be mine alone.”
Sure enough, Bai Shan is the one who can attack Bai Erlang in all directions in this world.
Bai Erlang stared at Bai Shan.
Man Bao couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he looked at them seriously and said: "There is still a difference. Those families have many officials, so they can be called big families. When you become officials in the future, Your children and grandchildren have all become officials and have become such a big family, you must remember to be kind to life, and don't treat human life like nothing like them."
Man Bao said: "Human beings are different from grass. Once the grass is mowed, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows in the next year, but once the human life is gone, it will be gone."
Bai Erlang listened and nodded.
Bai Shan said to Man Bao: "You will teach them in the future."
Man Bao asked, "Who?"
Bai Shan blushed and said: "My descendants."
"Let me teach you, why are you blushing?" Before Man Bao finished speaking, she saw his red ears and cheeks, she slowly came to the senses, and looked at Bai Shan in a daze.
As soon as Bai Erlang raised his head, he saw the two people opposite you staring at me and I staring at you, with only each other in their eyes, a little dissatisfied, he cleared his throat heavily.
Man Bao blushed slightly and lowered his head. After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, so he raised his head and looked at Bai Erlang viciously, "Is your throat uncomfortable? Do you want to prescribe a dose of fire-reducing medicine to clear your throat?"
Bai Shan's red color faded a little, his eyes shifted, he glanced at Bai Erlang and didn't speak.
Shirajiro: ...
Back home, the three of them went back to the room to freshen up, and then went to the study to do their homework and wait for dinner by the way.
When Bai Erlang arrived in the study, Bai Shan said to Bai Erlang in front of his husband: "I told my husband that you might be able to compose poems on Chongyang Climbing, so I will help you fill in some poems in the past few days."
Bai Erlang had a bad feeling, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, I just don't do it when the time comes, I don't want to show off."
Mr. Zhuang, who was reading at the side, tapped his head lightly with a book, "It's worthless, your examiner will also ask for poems, will you do it then?"
"Then I don't want him to teach you either," Bai Erlang said, "Sir, didn't you say that a famous teacher produces a great student, you are so much better than him, you teach me."
"Bai Shan can teach you at your level." Mr. Zhuang was afraid that if he specially taught him poetry, he might not be able to suppress his anger.
Bai Erlang turned his head to look at Bai Shan, and Bai Shan gave him a big smile.
Bai Erlang opened his mouth wide, pointed at Bai Shan and said, "You want to avenge yourself!"
Mr. Zhuang raised his head to look at him, and asked, "What kind of personal enmity did you have?"
Bai Shan looked at him quietly.
Bai Erlang, who wanted to sue, opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't get out. After a long time, he shook his head.
Mr. Zhuang looked at the two suspiciously, and Man Bao came in from the outside, "Sir, do I have homework today?"
Mr. Zhuang withdrew his gaze and said to her: "Yes, you come here, and I will organize a text for you for the teacher. You can read it in the next two days. After you read it thoroughly, I will ask you a few questions."
Seeing that his back was facing them, Mr. Bai Shan grabbed his neck and pulled him away, "Come on, let's go to the garden to read poems."
Bai Erlang: ... He regretted it. If he had known, he would not have cleared his throat.
Mr. Zhuang looked back at the backs of the two disciples, and asked Man Bao: "Did the two brothers quarrel?"
Man Bao blushed slightly and shook his head, but he remembered something, "Sir, do nobles kill people at every turn?"
After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhuang shook his head and said, "Although I don't know where you came up with this question, no matter what the question is, you can't generalize and overturn a whole boat with one stroke."
He said: "Tang County Magistrate and Yang County Magistrate are also from noble families, do you think they seem to be the ones who execute their servants at every turn?"
Man Bao shook his head.
"That's it." Mr. Zhuang sat behind the desk and said, "However, nobles have been in high positions for a long time, and if they don't have compassion, it's easy to treat human life like nothing, so I always ask you to be cautious in your words and deeds after you arrive in the capital." .Because in the eyes of some superiors, not only their servants, but commoners like me are just ants."
Man Bao said disappointedly: "I know."
Mr. Zhuang nodded and motioned her to read the article he had picked out for her. After thinking for a while, he found a classic from the bookshelf beside him and gave it to her, "Haven't you finished reading this legal book?"
Man Bao's scalp was numb, "There are so many..."
"Don't worry, read it slowly," he said with a smile, "I asked Bai Shan, he reads the law book for three quarters of an hour every night before going to bed, and now he has already started to memorize it. If you want to learn medical skills, you can't compare with him. I don't ask you to memorize it, but you must read it through."
But she still has to go to class in the system at night...
Man Bao hugged the thick book and wanted to cry.
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "You are young now, and you are at the best age for reading. You read it for two or three quarters of an hour before going to bed every night, and you will finish reading it in a few years. If one day you understand this law book thoroughly , you won’t ask questions like today again.”
Mr. Zhuang's smile faded, and he sighed, "The reason why they can regard human life as worthless, I think, is all from the Great Jin Dynasty, no, it is from the laws of the past dynasties."
Man Bao half understood and half understood, but he hugged the book in his arms tightly.
Keke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "It's a pity for your husband."
