Feng Zongping suppressed his laughter and turned his head to look at Bai Shan who was sitting beside him. Seeing that he still didn't speak, he knew that he was sure that Bai Erlang could fight back. He smiled and shook his head and asked, "You see?"

What kind of monster?"

Bai Shan then spoke, and the books he mentioned were all ones he had read in the bookstore and thought were pretty good.

Bai Erlang turned his head and glanced at him without saying anything.

Mr. Zhuang, who was sitting not far away, withdrew his gaze. Mr. Jiang, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said, "You little disciple is getting smarter and smarter."

Mr. Jiang does not hide his envy. He also teaches and educates people, and he also has apprentices. Many of his friends are teachers.

But Mr. Zhuang is the only one who can do what Mr. Zhuang does, with three such outstanding disciples serving him by his side.

Mr. Zhuang smiled, shook his head and said, "You are still naughty, and you can learn from it."

After the banquet started, Zhou Lang raised his wine glass and passed all the tables. They knew each other, at least they could match their faces and names.

After toasting once, he sat back in his seat. After all, he was unfamiliar with many people, so he felt uncomfortable, and neither did the guests.

He sat between Shopkeeper Zheng Da and Old Man Qiu, and directly asked Shopkeeper Zheng Da to speak, "Shopkeeper Zheng Da, this time I came to the capital and brought two sacks of dried yam tablets, and I also made a small bag at home.

Bao said that you usually stir-fry with earthen flour, but stir-frying with wheat bran is also good. Our family has tried it, do you want to check out this new cooking method?"

Shopkeeper Zheng's eyes lit up and he asked, "Dr. Zhou told you this recipe?"

Zhou Lang nodded and said with a smile: "It is said to be written in a medical book. During the Chinese New Year, my fifth brother, sister and sister-in-law thought about it for a while, and spent a lot of yam, but finally it was done. Manbao tried it and said it has medicinal properties.

not bad."

Shopkeeper Zheng Da then smiled and said, "Then give me a bag and go back and try it."

Zhou Lang responded with a smile, "That's easy to say, I'll fill a bag for you later."

He turned around and said to Old Man Qiu: "Uncle Qiu, when I come to the capital this time, my mother specially asked me to bring my daughter-in-law with me. She is the one who arranges the marriage for Lao Liu. I have brought all the books and I will hire a matchmaker tomorrow."

Come to the door, you must agree."

He spoke softly and gave Old Man Qiu a lot of face. Old Man Qiu also burst out laughing and said happily: "You first invite someone to come to our house."

When Shopkeeper Zheng Da and others heard this, they knew that the two families were talking about getting married, and immediately joined in the fun and said, "You are so insincere. Since he asked like this, you just agreed to it."

"That's right, that's right," Doctor Ding said with a smile, "Let's also take the opportunity to have a wedding drink."

Zhou Lang blushed slightly on the side, while Wu Lang looked at his fourth brother with a sigh on his face, feeling that his fourth brother was really becoming more and more tactful.

Master Yang, who was some distance away from them, was talking about recruiting talents for the Chongwen Hall.

Originally they didn't want to talk about official matters, but Saburo of the Zhang family happened to be on the recruitment list, so they talked about it.

Of course, while they were chatting, they couldn't help but talk about Master Tang. Erlang, who came to join in the fun from the Sun family, directly poured a glass of wine to toast Master Tang and said with a smile: "Zhihe, you have become the magistrate of Chang'an County, so you will have to take more care of him in the future."

I'll wait."

Mr. Tang:......

Yang Heshu couldn't help but chuckle.

Mr. Tang glared at him before picking up his wine glass and touching it to Sun Erlang's. After finishing the drink, he said: "I want you to take more care of me. Read more books when you have nothing to do. Don't go out to race horses or fights. I am

It's hard to be a county magistrate, so don't make things difficult for me."

Bai Dalang's classmate drank two glasses of wine and became a little drunk. Then he asked: "Which of you will go to this year's big exam?"

Everyone shook their heads, Bai Dalang said: "I have only been in school for two years, and it is still early."

But he sighed and said: "I'm not better than you. I'm two years older than you. You haven't married yet and have children. Naturally, you have time to take your time. But I can't. I won't have any future if I continue to study. Not only my in-laws' family, but also my own

I feel like I’m sorry for my wife and children.”

Bai Dalang said: "Your family is not short of money. What's wrong with studying for two more years?"

He couldn't understand that although his father also wanted him to become an official, he would never force him to become an official immediately. As long as he was still studying, his family would be happy.

The family background of my classmates is not bad either. At least they have no worries about food and drink, and they don’t have to work to make money. Unlike Zhou Li and others, if they don’t study quickly and make money, they may not have the money to study, so why not study?

He drank a glass of wine and comforted him: "It's okay, just read slowly. It's okay to study for two more years and then take the big exam."

The classmates sitting with him laughed and comforted the classmate, "Don't worry anymore. Bai Da is not married yet. He is so relaxed. You have a son and a daughter. What are you worried about?"

Bai Dalang:......

There was a lot of chatter here at the front, but Manbao and the others were also seated at the back.

Mrs. Zheng came out to accompany them, but Mrs. Liu only came out to see everyone, and then went back to the house to play by herself.

Today, all the young girls and daughters-in-law who came here would be uncomfortable if an old lady went there, so I only asked Mrs. Zheng to accompany her.

Zheng has a simple mind and is just like a child, so she can still have fun with them.

After eating and drinking, many people rested for a while and then left.

Man Bao first sent away the three families of Sun, Zhang and Du, and then sent Liu Lirong and the others out as well, making an appointment to go to the palace together next time to play with Princess Mingda and the others.

Then came Miss Fu Er. Man Bao packed some things that Zhou Lang brought from home to her and said, "They are local specialties from Luojiang County. Maybe you want to eat them?"

Fu Wenyun answered with a smile and said, "Then I'll go back first, and I'll come and play with you when I have time."

"good."

When they returned to the backyard, Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Yang were still there. Zhou Lijun took them to Manbao's room. At this time, the two were leaning on the wooden couch by the window, closing their eyes and relaxing.

The people in front had almost dispersed. Only a few people who had a good time with Man Bao and the others were still there. Even Ji Hao said goodbye and left.

Since they were all acquaintances anyway, Bai Shan simply took them to the garden, where they drank and played chess in another open pavilion while resting and talking.

Manbao took some herbal tea from the kitchen and put it on the low table, then took off his shoes and sat on the couch.

Mrs. Tang opened her eyes and motioned for her to see Mrs. Cui.

Man Bao took a look and saw that her face was not very good, so he stretched out his hand to feel her pulse. She opened her eyes and closed her eyes again when she saw that it was Man Bao.

Her maid and grandma came forward gently, took a pillow to put on her, and put a blanket on her body. They also put an incense burner aside, and then bowed and retreated outside the screen.

Man Bao was stunned and turned to ask Mrs. Tang, "Are the ladies from your aristocratic family so exquisite every day?"

Mrs. Tang leaned on the couch and smiled: "What's going on here? Because we are here to come to you, we deliberately brought less people. If we go to someone else's house, the people accompanying us will have to bring twice as many things."

Woolen cloth."

She raised her chin and asked softly: "How is she?"
