Man Bao and Bai Shan frowned and asked, "Why didn't we know when it happened?"

"Just now."

Man Bao and Bai Shan looked up at the rising sun in the sky together and asked, "It's so early in the morning, and isn't it a day off today?"

"Huh? It was noon yesterday."

Three people:...Can you be more rigorous?

Bai Shan sighed, turned to Man Bao and said, "It seems this matter is not over yet."

Manbao waved his little hand and said: "It has nothing to do with us anymore. Let the adults take care of their own affairs. Zhuangyuanlou, right? Have you invited me?"

Liu Huanle said: "He said that anyone in Chongwen Hall can go if they want, including you naturally. Speaking of which, you are quite unlucky this time. I heard that you were singled out for a book and were fined.

Salary?"

It's really annoying to pick up which pot you don't open.

Manbao turned around and handed the basket to Daji who was waiting aside. Then he pulled Chiji over and jumped on his horse, "Let's go eat at the big family."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also handed their luggage to Daji, then rode on their horses together and asked Yin You: "Are you going?"

Yin You thought for a moment that he would be "sick" when he went back. This meal was probably the only thing he could eat outside for a while, so he nodded, turned around, got into his carriage, and went there too.

As soon as a group of students from the Chongwen Hall left the palace, they went directly to the Zhuangyuan Building without even returning home.

Adults like Cheng Er disdain to attend gatherings like theirs. Although they are not a few years older than Zhao Liulang, they are subconsciously divided into two groups in the Chongwen Hall.

One group is the prince's confidants, who were recruited by him, mainly to gain experience and work; the other group is Zhao Liulang, Feng Zongping, Ping Baishan, etc., who were either selected or stuffed in, mainly to accompany the prince to study.

.

Cheng Er and the others don't like to play with Zhao Liulang and the others, and Zhao Liulang and the others don't like to play with them yet.

So, including Manbao, there were only ten people going to the banquet, and they were all there to study.

When Zhao Liulang saw that no one was left behind, they all came, he became happy, waved his hand and said: "Everyone can order whatever they want to eat. I'm treating you today, no one is polite."

Bai Shan laughed, and without even looking at the menu, he directly reported the names of two Zhuangyuanlou's signature dishes. Zhao Liulang happily patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, just like Bai Shan, you're welcome.

"

No one wanted to be polite to him. They ordered a lot of wine and food, not caring whether they could finish it.

Although the food in the palace is not bad, it is certainly not very considerate. They are not princes or princesses. If they want to eat delicious food, they have to spend money to buy it at the Shangshi Bureau. It is expensive, but it may not satisfy their appetite.

want.

So every time we go out of the palace, everyone has to have a wave.

It's just that this time it's more promiscuous.

When the food and drinks were served, everyone raised their chopsticks. Zhao Liulang poured wine for others, picked up the wine glass and said to everyone: "This time we are in trouble together. We will have to work together again in the future. We can't let outsiders bully us.

Don’t think that we are just students of Chongwen Hall and can be bullied casually.”

Everyone raised their glasses in a noisy manner. Man Bao didn't like drinking, so he just clinked his glasses without drinking. Yin or even more just raised his glasses.

Zhao Liulang knew that Yin You couldn't drink, so he didn't force him, but he had some objections to Man Bao, "It's not strong liquor. You are so old, what's wrong with taking a sip?"

Man Bao said: "It's bitter and doesn't taste good at all."

Everyone burst out laughing. Yi Ziyang drank and said with a smile: "You haven't realized the good taste of wine yet."

Everyone also let her go.

The group ate from morning to noon, and then dispersed when their family came to find them.

Man Bao ate and drank enough and rode Chi Ji back home in the bright sun.

The family didn't worry much about them because Daji had brought their things back early in the morning and then told everyone that they had gone to a restaurant for dinner and were being entertained by classmates.

So when Man Bao came back, Lao Zhoutou asked her, "Did you eat well?"

Man Bao nodded and said: "It's very good. I feel like I don't have to eat at night. Dad, their braised pork and steamed pork are very delicious. I'll invite you to eat next time."

As he spoke, Lao Zhou started to drool a little. He turned to Xiao Qian and said, "Master, do you have any meat at home? How about we eat steamed meat tonight?"

Xiao Qian agreed with a smile, "Yes, but some are not enough. Lijun and I will buy some more later, steam some more, and keep them in the well to be eaten tomorrow."

What is the most satisfying thing about this home for Xiao Qian is that there are many wells.

Basically every yard has a well, and there are two ancient wells in the garden. The water is very good. It is very cold on hot days. It is very good whether it is used to soften meat or melons and fruits. And it is not necessary.

How nice it would be to carry water outside.

After listening to this, Man Bao felt that she could actually eat a little more at night.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also felt that they could eat again, so they looked at Man Bao together.

Man Bao cleverly invited the two of them together, "You can come to my house for dinner tonight."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang nodded together.

After Man Bao ate at their house for several months, they were finally able to come over to her house for a meal.

It was a rare time for Man Bao to come back, so Lao Zhou showed off his achievements in the past eight days to her, "Your elder brother and I visited many places in the capital and finally found the fruit trees you want to plant. Go and see the garden."

Fruit trees have been planted everywhere, and they will bear fruit in three or two years. By then, you can walk around and pick fruits to eat."

Man Bao nodded repeatedly and suddenly felt that her stomach was a little small, but she had not eaten well. She had made a mistake today.

Lao Zhoutou asked: "But I forgot to ask you. I heard you say that the land will not be given to you after you no longer serve as an official. Then this house, if you no longer serve as an official in the future..."

"Don't worry, Dad, even if I don't serve as an official in the future, this house will still be mine," Man Bao said, "This was not given by the court or the emperor, but by the prince. I already have the deeds to the house."

Old Zhoutou then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I'm afraid that planting this fruit tree will make it easier for others in the future."

He looked around and then asked in a low voice: "Have you asked the adults in the palace? Can we farm the farmland ourselves?"

Man Bao: "..."

She didn't dare to say that she had forgotten, so she said without changing her expression: "Dad, it's only August now. I won't be allocated the land until after they have cultivated it this year. I have to wait until they have finished all the crops in the field."

Only after you collect it will you divide it into mine, and the land after September will only belong to me."

Old Zhoutou expressed his understanding, "That's right. After all, the seeds and labor provided by the previous master are indeed his own. I heard that Yongzhou suffered a disaster this year. Many crops were dry and the harvest was not good."

Man Bao nodded.

Old Zhoutou: "So I have to take care of this land by myself. If it is left to the adults in the palace, they will definitely worry more about their own family. How can I have the time to worry about your family's fields?"

He used his own thoughts to guess other people's thoughts, and gave an example: "For example, if a place is hit by a disaster and needs to be watered, should I water it first, or yours?"

Without waiting for Manbao to answer, he said directly: "Of course you water your own fields first, then your relatives' fields, and then your neighbors and friends' fields. Finally, when it's your turn, there is no water. You said you still have some water.

Profit?"
