Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 777 Light Mountain

  Bai Shan snorted and turned his head, Man Bao also snorted and turned to the other side.

  Shirajiro didn't worry at all, anyway, they would be fine for a while.

  Daily driving outside the car is not even worried. He half-closed his eyes from start to end to let the horse run forward slowly, not at all impatient.

  When we arrived at the county seat, Daji found a place to park the car, and the three of them carried their hands together and walked down the street vigorously.

It was already evening. The shops on both sides of the street had already hung the lanterns, and the wealthy squires and the merchants built the lamp mountain together, occupying a good position in the county town. When the night falls, these lamp mountains will be there. Being lit, the entire county town is lit.

  Manbao, they just saw all kinds of lanterns when they wandered around at this time. It didn't seem too shocking, but the people walking along the street were shocked. They watched the Lantern Festival in the county seat and felt that this year's Lantern Festival seemed particularly lively.

   "I counted, there are a total of nine Dengshan Mountain, if you light it up at night, it would be so beautiful."

"This year there are many more lights than in previous years. I heard that the county government has also built one, and Master Zhang's house has also built one. Master Liu's house is the most powerful, and he has built two lamp mountains. ."

  Man Bao and the others sat in the tea room and listened to people talking about gossip. After a while, the topic began to touch people they knew.

   "Speaking of our rich family in Luojiang County, the Bai family in Baimaguan Town can be regarded as a family, but how come we have never seen his family do Dengshan?"

   "Choose it?"

"It's not true, you see, every year in the county to build bridges and dig trenches, Mr. Bai has paid for it. At the time of the winter solstice last year, he also donated some cotton-padded clothes and quilts to the poor households in the county." One person said: "I." I worked as a clerk in the county office and secretly calculated that in this county, in addition to the county grandfather, the one who does the most good deeds every year is Master Zhang and then Master Bai."

   "Then Master Bai is also rich, why not be Dengshan?"

   "Master Bai won't come to the county seat to spend the Lantern Festival, why spend so much money to build a lamp mountain?"

  Bai Shan and Man Bao stared at Bai Erlang, and Bai Erlang lowered his voice and said, "My father builds a lamp mountain in Mianzhou City every year, but I didn't do it this year."

  Man Bao asked curiously: "Why?"

"Because my eldest brother is going to take the exam in Beijing after the beginning of the new year. He is no longer in Mianzhou. Who will be the Dengshan?" Bai Erlang whispered: "My father said, when my elder brother is admitted to the Imperial College, he will It’s even more expensive to let people do Dengshan in the capital."

Bai Erlang never worried about money, but when his father talked more about it, he became more concerned, and said to the two of them: "My father said, this lantern is seen once a year, and after seeing it once, these lanterns are even It’s a waste of money, so the money has to be spent on the blade. My elder brother is studying in the government, and he asks him to be a lamp mountain in Mianzhou City, so that people will not underestimate my brother. My brother went to the capital. , So I built a lamp mountain for my brother in the capital. When outsiders saw it, they knew that my family was not incompetent and would not dare to bully my brother."

   "When I pass the exam in Yizhou Fu in the future, my dad will also give me a spot in Yizhou City..."

  Man Bao asked, "Then do you want your father to light the lamp mountain for you?"

   "I don't want to." Bai Erlang whispered: "My home makes Dengshan like that. I have to guard Dengshan when I look back. It's better to see someone else's Dengshan."

  Man Bao and Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief together, gave him a thumbs up, and boasted: "Your idea is correct."

  Bai Erlang smiled, scratched his head embarrassedly, and whispered: "Mainly, I don't think I can be admitted to Yizhou Fu."

  Bai Shan thought about it seriously and said: “You can still pass the exam, but you may study for two more years.”

   Bai Erlang's eyes lit up and he asked, "Really?"

  Bai Shan nodded, but looked sad, "But two years later, I should also be able to get a place to go to the capital for the exam. By then, are you going to study at the government or with your husband?"

  Shirajiro was dumbfounded, and angered, "How do you know you can go to the capital?"

  Man Baole said: "This is self-confidence."

   "Why does the gentleman have to go to the capital with you? I am also a disciple of my husband, and I am still a little disciple, can't my husband stay with me in Yizhou City?"

   "Because two to one, we have more people than you, and the minority obeys the majority. Your husband must follow us to the capital."

   Bai Erlang was taken aback for a moment and then looked at Man Bao, "Can you not go to the capital, the capital is so far away, you may not be able to come home once a year."

  Bai Shan said: "How could she not go?"

   "Why is she going?"

  Bai Shan said blankly: "She was going to go..."

  As for why I must go...

  Bai Shan scratched his head. Isn’t this a certain thing? Why is there a reason?

  Bai Shan turned to look at Man Bao.

  Man Bao started to ponder, and then asked after a while: "There must be many flowers, plants, trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts in the capital that I haven't seen before?"

  Bai Shan nodded, and Bai Erlang shook his head.

   Kekedao: "Go to the host."

  Man Bao waved his small fist and said, "I'll go!"

  Bai Shan spread a big smile, and smiled proudly at Bai Erlang, making Bai Erlang very angry.

Man Bao said to Bai Erlang: "You are stupid, you will have been in Yizhou City for three years by then, and you have played all the places you need to play, why not go to the capital for a walk? Anyway, there is a gentleman following, reading is not a problem. "

  Bai Shandao: "If you have any questions, brother, I can teach you. Anyway, I have studied in a government school. I know how gentlemen teach."

Not to be outdone, Man Bao immediately said: "Sister, I can also teach you. I read too many extracurricular books. What do you want to learn?"

  Although it was all good intentions, Shirajiro felt angry, so he turned his head and ignored them.

Man Bao and Bai Shan glanced at each other and snickered like two little squirrels. Then one of them took him aside and dragged him up and said, "Okay, don't be angry, let's go play. It's still better before dark. In a while, why don't we go and take a look at the Dengshan Mountain of the county government first, and then go to the restaurant to set a good place to sit down."

   "The light hasn't been turned on yet, what's the point of going to see at this time?" Bai Erlang didn't want to move, and said: "Let's go directly to the restaurant to fix the location, so that we won't be late and have no place."

  However, the county seat is not as good as Yizhou City. There are not many people who come out to play and find a place in the restaurant. Even if it is getting dark, there are still many empty spaces.

  There is even a good location, a good box.

  Man Bao and the three were very happy. After seeing a few boxes, they decided on the one with the best view, and directly gave them money for tea and snacks.

  The boy was very happy and went down with the money.

  Bai Shan opened the window and looked out for a while, then smiled and said, "This location is good, almost half of the street can be seen in the eyes, and you can see several Dengshan mountains."

  　 The next update will be around 6pm
