Seeing Zhou Man's kindness and willingness to recognize Shangzhou as his hometown, Master Lu completely let go of his heart and talked with Zhou Man in a happy mood.
After he left, he couldn't help but turned his head and said to Daren Zhen: "She is so alert and considerate, no wonder everyone likes her, from His Majesty to the Crown Prince and all the ministers."
Master Zhen smiled and nodded, then asked: "My lord, what about the Xia family in Hongtian Village..."
"Zhou Man attended the literary conference in the past few days and only said that he was returning home to visit his relatives, and he didn't complain when he mentioned the Xia family. Since that's the case, we don't have to interfere." Master Lu asked after a pause: "Who is that?" So-and-so, the people who occupied her old house moved away?"
"I moved away. I started moving yesterday. No matter how many things there are, it should be finished tomorrow."
Master Lu nodded in satisfaction, "It's best for them to resolve it peacefully. It's hard for an upright official to decide on family affairs. It's the worst thing for outsiders like us to interfere in this kind of family affairs."
Mr. Zhen said: "Who says it's not? The public says the public is right and the woman is right, but they are both justified. How should we judge?" No matter how we sentence, people will complain. Sometimes they think they are fair, and they can't say that both parties are right. Blame them.
The two adults got together and whispered a few words before getting into the car and leaving.
Before getting into the car, Lord Lu looked back and sent them outside the door. Mr. Zhuang, who had already returned to the restaurant and was surrounded by four teachers and apprentices, nodded and said: "It really is a formidable future generation."
Mr. Zhen nodded with empathy. Just now, after listening to Bai Shan and the others and the literati papers downstairs, even the doctoral officer who was sitting with him was gone. He was able to catch seven or eight, which shows his ability.
And he is only about sixteen years old this year, so young, which shows his future.
Although Zhou Man is a woman, she does not give up too much. No wonder she can not only be an imperial physician, but also be an editor in the Chongwen Museum. Her abilities are not limited to medical skills.
Surrounded in the middle, the three of Zhou Man feel that today is another tiring day. They have pens and paper in front of them. When they are discussing with others, they have to ask the source if they don’t understand something, and after writing it down, they have to briefly summarize their views. , When I go back, I will find a book to ponder.
By the time we leave, this literary and poetry meeting will be over.
More than a dozen students and literati crowded up to ask Bai Shan and Bai Erlang for their addresses, and they could write letters to communicate later.
In fact, they wanted to ask Zhou Man's address, but because she was a woman, they hesitated for a while, but when they heard that the three of them lived together, everyone felt that they knew the address of Bai Shan and Bai Shan, so they knew it too. Weekly address.
So he pestered Bai Shan to ask for the address.
Bai Shan then gave it to them, and he also wanted to establish a good relationship with them, and looked back to see if he could borrow some books he hadn't read from them.
He thought he had read enough books, but only after he came here did he realize that even the Chongwen Museum doesn't have enough books in it, let alone how many books he hasn't read yet.
Bai Shan not only enthusiastically gave them his address, but also enthusiastically wrote down their addresses. As soon as he returned to the inn, he drew circles on the list, and Man Bao pointed out: "This Mr. Wen has a copy of " I have never seen or heard of Yao Shun Lu."
Bai Shan asked while circling: "How do you know?"
"He said it himself. He said that there is a record of the Yellow Emperor's Hundred Valleys after the "Yao and Shun Records". In addition to opening up your own books, you must be careful when borrowing books from other people. Only when you have a very good relationship will you open your mouth to try it out;
Man Bao said: "Write it down first, we will get to know each other later, we can exchange books with him for borrowing."
Bai Shan drew a circle and recorded the information of the person whose name and address were exchanged, then Bai Shan put down the pen, leaned back on the chair and let out a sigh of relief: "Are you going to Hongtian Village tomorrow? Mister Shall we go? We don't have a few days off, we want to go home."
Bai Erlang wanted to go back a long time ago, he wanted to play, not to study, but when he went out to study, he had to learn more than he had in the Chongwen Museum.
Why did he come here
Bai Erlang looked at Man Bao.
Man Bao counted with his fingers: "Hurry up, hurry up, we will set off early tomorrow morning, we will drive fast, and we should be there in about six hours. As long as Xia Shi is willing to cooperate, we should be able to finish it in one day."
"What are you going to do with those two pieces of land?"
Man Bao smiled and said: "The patriarch rented the land first, and directly set up the ethnology study for the clan, urging them to start the study of the clan as soon as possible, but I want the rent of the two lands this year, and I will go back to the field. Look, after the summer and autumn harvests, I will ask my eldest brother and fifth brother to collect the rent."
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows, and Man Bao said, "By the way, let's see how the Zhaizi and the ethnology are doing."
"Why do you have to let them run ethnology? After the talents are raised, they will come to fight against you?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and asked, "How long have you been studying?"
Bai Erlang took out his fingers to count, and Bai Shan said: "Don't count, don't count the enlightenment given to you by your cousin before you entered school, it has been eleven years, right?"
Bai Erlang immediately said: "No, it's twelve years!"
Bai Shan didn't bother to quarrel with him for a year or two, and said, "Okay, twelve years, when will you be able to be an examiner? In another three years, or five years?"
Bai Erlang pinched his fingers again to make the calculations, and struggled: "Three years should be fine, but I'm not very sure, and aren't you still planning to go to Gaochang for a study tour? Five years, don't be so nervous."
Bai Shan and Man Bao burst out laughing.
Bai Shan simply sat cross-legged on the chair, and said: "That's seventeen years in total. It's because we have a lot of books, and the husband is good. This is why we can go so smoothly. If they change, it will take seventeen years at least, or a lifetime at most. What are you afraid of?"
Man Bao said: "After seventeen years, maybe I won't be an official anymore, and I didn't harm them. What kind of grudge is worth remembering for seventeen years?"
Bai Erlang looked at her, then at Bai Shan, hesitantly said: "You guys are so nice? Why did you come up with such a great plan for the Xia family?"
Bai Shan suppressed his smile and nodded, "No, we are beautiful and kind."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly and blinked at Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang believed that there was a ghost between the two of them, so he said angrily: "Quickly tell me, what's the secret in this?"
Bai Shan shook his head and said, "Our temper is getting better and better, but why are you getting worse and worse?"
Man Bao said: "Recently, my temper has grown."
Bai Erlang stared at them, staying up all night for three days of high-intensity study, anyone would be irritable.
Then Bai Shan stopped teasing him, and explained with a smile: "The Xia family is not that rich. They want to set up ethnology studies. They didn't show it at the beginning. After three or five years, I'm afraid there will be some shortages. Their energy will naturally be diverted, saving them the trouble of finding Man Bao."
