Seeing that Man Bao was worried, Bai Shan couldn't help reaching out to hold her hand and looking at her comfortingly.
Man Bao looked down at the hands they were holding together, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any good way to comfort him, so he could only sigh: "It can only depend on herself."
The car window was knocked, Bai Shan turned his head to look, and saw Bai Erlang riding beside the carriage, he shouted: "Aren't you endorsing the book, why it took so long, we have to play the leaf card, we are short of people."
After finishing speaking, he smiled flatteringly at Mr. Zhuang and said, "Sir, do you want to play the leaf card?"
Mr. Zhuang glanced at him quietly and said, "You can memorize an extra chapter of "The Fox Fakes the Tiger's Might" tomorrow."
Bai Erlang couldn't stop laughing. Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other, smiled and said goodbye to Mr. Zhuang. When they got to the shaft of the carriage, guards led the horses and walked with the carriage. Man Bao got on the horse first, and then Bai Shan.
The horses of the three ran to the side, and the two carriages behind them also slowly left the group and stopped, Bai Shan asked, "Aren't you four just right?"
Bai Erlang said: "If Liru doesn't play the leaf card, she won't play even if we pay her."
The carriage stopped, Liu Huan opened the curtain and complained to them: "Man Bao, did you scare the third niece, otherwise why would she refuse to play the leaf card?"
Zhou Liru pushed him away and jumped out of the car, "Who is your third niece? I am my sister-in-law's third niece, not yours."
She said: "You all gamble money when you play leaf cards. I don't play gambling. And I don't know how to do it."
"No way, you can learn." Liu Huan kept encouraging her, saying, "We've already said that we'll pay, and we'll lose if we lose."
"No!" Zhou Liru glanced at him and said, "My grandfather said that once you start something like gambling, you can't stop unless you break your leg."
Of course, her fourth uncle changed after his leg was almost broken.
Liu Huan: ...
Man Bao jumped off his horse and asked, "You want to gamble?"
Liu Huan emphasized: "The purpose is not to gamble, but to play the leaf card!"
"Then why use money?" Man Bao said: "Whoever loses, he can brush the horse."
Bai Shan said: "Or go to the next city to treat guests to dinner."
Liu Huan was startled, "Once?" That was more expensive than gambling.
Bai Shan thought for a while and said, "The one who has lost the most times."
Man Bao encouraged them, "Come on the duck."
Everyone turned to look at her together, "Aren't you coming?"
Man Bao shook his head directly, "I won't come, I have no money."
Everyone: ...
"And the four of you are just right."
Yin Yu said: "We don't mind adding one more person."
"Is there a rule for this?"
"Rules are made by people," Bai Shan said, "It's just a game of cards."
Man Bao still doesn't want to come, mainly because if she loses, what if she can't help but let Keke cheat on her
Zhou Liru took the opportunity and said, "Sister-in-law, please help me check the medical books I have memorized."
Man Bao nodded immediately, "You guys call first, and I'll check Liru's homework."
So they left the four of them behind and went to a carriage behind hand in hand with Zhou Liru.
Daji waited for the guards to collect their horses, and led them to watch them.
In the end, the four decided to fight, so they climbed into the carriage.
Bai Shan said: "Let me split the cards..."
Liu Huan muttered, "Their aunt and nephew are really stingy."
Bai Erlang was not surprised, but he was not happy when his senior sister said that, "Their family doesn't like gambling."
"Small gambling, why are you so strict?"
Yin asked, "Do you have a lot of money?"
Bai Shan also looked at Liu Huan.
Liu Huan shook his head, "Not much, but there is still money for a meal, and I don't necessarily lose." He often played leaf cards with his grandmother.
Then Liu Huan kept losing until he lost four times in a row before he felt something was wrong. He looked at Bai Shan, then at Yin He, and shouted: "It's not fair, you two join forces!"
Bai Shan said without changing his face: "We don't have any cards, what's so unfair? And have you seen us communicate and play cards?"
Liu Huan turned to look at Bai Erlang, who trembled holding the cards, "Don't look at me, I can't beat them both even if I form an alliance with you."
Liu Huan pouted, "I'm not reconciled, come again!"
Hearing Liu Huan's cry from behind, Man Bao yawned and said, "Sure enough, gambling is not good."
She decided to sleep!
Zhou Liru also finished memorizing the text, and helped Man Bao pull out the wooden couch. She lay down to sleep, and she sat by the door and took out some free books to read.
Running all the way, the group entered Liangzhou City.
Bai Shan and the others didn't want to say anything anymore, they went straight to the post station after entering Liangzhou City, washed their hair and took a shower, and then yelled for hot soup.
Liangzhou City is a big border city, usually many officials live here on business, even now, there are two officials living with their subordinates in their station, but Zhou Man and his group have the most people.
Rao is that the post station is not small, and there are many employees, so it is too busy for a while.
After taking a bath, Man Bao came out with his hair still wet, kicked off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed comfortably, and said to Zhou Liru who went in to take a bath: "I just saw a lot of people from the Western Regions on the street, let's go shopping at night gone."
They came to Liangzhou after walking through the grassland for a long time. They didn't meet two post stations along the way, and when they encountered no one there, even if they could meet some herdsmen grazing, Man Bao and Zhou Liru felt very lonely.
Therefore, as soon as Man Bao proposed, Zhou Liru happily agreed.
Bai Shan and the others also wanted to go out to play, so they cleaned up after washing up, and planned to go out when they went downstairs to drink the hot soup they ordered, and had dinner outside by the way.
Six teenagers went together to invite Mr. Zhuang.
Mr. Zhuang also wanted to go out to play, so he dressed up and wanted to go out with them. When Yi Cheng heard it, he couldn't help saying: "My lord, there is a curfew in Liangzhou City at night, you have to come back before dark, otherwise you will be caught by patrolling soldiers, and you will be killed by your lord." It’s not easy to get away with your life.”
This was said to Man Bao, because he knew that Zhou Man was the most senior official present, and also the chief officer of the team.
Man Bao was slightly surprised, and asked, "Is there no night market in Liangzhou City?"
There are night markets in every city she has been to.
Yicheng smiled and said, "Except for certain festivals, Liangzhou City does not open night markets."
Mr. Zhuang also came to his senses, and said to Man Bao: "Because Liangzhou is a border gate, then we will come back after eating dinner and taking a stroll."
Man Bao can only agree.
So a group of people went out bustlingly, Man Bao said: "I have to go to the pharmacy to buy some herbs."
Bai Shan said: "Let's go tomorrow, it's getting late today, let's eat first."
Man Bao had no objection, and planned to see where there was a pharmacy on the way.
As a result, she walked all the way, but didn’t see a drug store. She couldn’t help but look seriously. After Mr. Zhuang and the others found out about the delicious food and went to a restaurant, Man Bao came back to his senses. She said: “There are many blacksmith shops here. There are four down here."
Bai Shan also noticed, "Because it's an important border town?"
