Chapter 556 Find an Opportunity

Man Bao righteously rejected Bai Shanbao's kindness to help her cheat, and then took out the blank paper to copy the book.

She had just finished grinding the ink when there was a knock on the courtyard door, and the three people who were chatting immediately turned their heads to look out, and saw Zhou Zhou ran to open the door in the rain without opening an umbrella, and a man came in after a while People with umbrellas.

Bai Erlang leaned over to the window to look, and immediately turned around and said, "It's Mr. Lan."

All three of them jumped up for joy, and leaned over to the window to see that it was indeed Lan Cheng.

Zhou Zhoulang invited people to the main room, and after a while he walked out with an umbrella, Bai Shanbao immediately pushed Manbao.

Man Bao ran to the door, "puchi puchi" attracted Zhou Zhoulang's attention.

Zhou Zhoulang was about to go out, when he saw his sister's ghostly appearance, he walked up to him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Fourth brother, what are you doing?"

"Go buy some wine and vegetables. Mr. Lan is here. I'm afraid I have something important to say to Mr. Zhuang."

Man Bao immediately waved and said, "Then you go, go."

Zhou Si Lang was silent, looked her up and down and said: "Man Bao, you are not allowed to be naughty at home."

"I'm not naughty."

Zhou Zhoulang glanced at the two teenagers lying on the study window, shook his head and left.

Man Bao winked and smiled with them, "I think we can rest in the afternoon."

Man Bao happily went to copy the book, even if it was "Yi Li", she felt much happier. After only copying two pages, Zhou Zhou Lang came back with food and wine.

Bai Shanbao immediately ran out and asked him to bring the food and wine to the study, saying: "Gentlemen must talk about classics and history, so it's better to eat in the study."

Bai Erlang also nodded and said, "That's right, then let's go to study in the main room."

Zhou Zhoulang looked at them contemptuously. Should they go to study in the main room or play in the main room?

Isn't it the same as they are too lazy to go to the fields, so they make excuses to help their sister-in-laws do housework at home?

Zhou Zhoulang ignored them and wanted to send the food and wine to the main room, but Mr. Zhuang heard him in the main room and said: "Send it to the study, it happens that Mr. Lan wants to test Bai Shan."

Bai Shanbao: ...

Man Bao and Bai Erlang immediately shrank their necks and stopped talking.

Zhou Zhou Lang responded with a smile, picked up the basket and turned in one direction.

Man Bao has withdrawn his mind, pretending that he is copying the book very seriously.

Mr. Zhuang invited Mr. Lan into the study, and the two sat down on the other side, far away from Man Bao's desk.

Mr. Zhuang asked Bai Erlang to go back to do his homework, leaving Bai Shanbao alone and said, "Your Uncle Lan said that for some reason, the exam questions in this year's government school are more difficult than in previous years. It is said that there are two big questions in it. You came from a high-ranking official, so your chances of passing the exam are a little weaker, so you Master Lan will come and see your level."

Lan Cheng explained: "I may not be as good as your master in terms of knowledge and teaching and educating people, but there are some advantages in breaking the question and opening the question, so I came to test you."

To put it bluntly, this is friendship for you.

Bai Shanbao hurriedly bent down to express his thanks.

Lan Cheng raised his hand and asked, "How many books have you read from the book list I made for you?"

The school exam started over there, and Man Bao slowly let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that it had nothing to do with her.

She listened with pricked ears while continuing to copy the book.

When she finished copying the rest of "Rituals", Lan Cheng was still taking the test for Bai Shanbao, and even gave him two questions, asking him to write the essay immediately.

The two gentlemen found a place in a corner of the study to sit down, chat and drink, and the most important thing was to talk about the preferences of the mysterious question maker.

Because of the test paper, Lan Cheng couldn't see it either. He just got a piece of news from his colleagues. The test paper that should have been written by Mr. Zhang and the King of Yizhou each changed the questioner. I don't know who made it.

For ordinary candidates, they have no chance to know the news, so changing the person who made the question has little effect on them, but for candidates who can know who the person who made the question is, changing the person who made the question has a great impact on them. big.

The reason why Lan Cheng made such a book list before was because he knew from inside that those books were the most read by King Yizhou and Mr. Zhang this year.

Most people will first consider the book they have read recently when they make a question.

After Man Bao finished copying the book, he didn't want to read "Han Shu" for a while, and felt his eyes were a little sore, so he simply stretched his chin and looked at Bai Shanbao, and then looked at the sycamore tree outside in the misty rain.

Watching, watching, she found that the rain had stopped.

Keke also found out, so it whispered to Man Bao: "Host, let's go."

Man Bao rolled his eyes, said "hmm" in his heart, and then sneaked out while no one was paying attention.

Bai Erlang, who wasn't very focused on his homework, looked up at her, and turned to look at Mr. Zhuang who was talking to Mr. Lan. He didn't have the guts to sneak out to play without finishing his homework.

Man Bao slipped into the yard and immediately went to the woodshed to get her small basket and flower hoe.

Zhou Zhoulang was sitting in the kitchen weaving baskets and didn't pay attention, but Daji, who was sitting under the eaves and guarding the door, saw it and couldn't help standing up.

Man Bao gave him a "shh", then quickly opened the door and slipped away.

Daji: ...

He frowned, turned around and went to the kitchen to find Zhou Zhou Lang, and said, "Si Lang, Man Bao ran out."

Zhou Zhou Lang asked without raising his head, "Where did you go?"

"Next door."

Zhou Zhoulang immediately raised his head, stared and asked, "Didn't Mr. Zhuang not allow them to run over, why did they go again?"

Daji thought of the flower hoe that Man Bao took away, and the flowers and plants that she couldn't forget when she went there last time, and felt a little helpless, "Because of the flowers and plants in the garden."

Zhou Zhoulang immediately dropped the half-made basket and ran out to find her.

Seeing him gone, Daji sat back under the eaves in peace and continued to watch the door in a daze.

It had just rained and the ground was dirty, but Man Bao didn't dislike it, he just drilled a hole and climbed in.

What do you dislike?

Anyway, whether it was dirty or clean, she washed the clothes by herself.

Man Bao got in and took a deep breath of air, feeling that the air here was better than that over there.

She asked Keke in her heart, "Is this the free air you mentioned?"

"There are many flowers, plants and trees here, and it is normal for the air to be fresher. The host may be thinking too much."

Man Bao carried the basket on his back to find the flowers and plants that he found before, and denied, "No, I just feel so happy after getting in. It's not just because of the air."

Is that because you want to play?

Man Bao found those hollyhocks, dug them up, put them into the basket with the mud, and collected one into the system.

She wanted to plant it herself, wait for it to bloom, and see what it looked like.
