Chapter 783 Longevity Lock

Man Bao took out the longevity lock hanging around his neck, and argued with reason: "Did you see, this longevity lock is so big, even if I took it out, my family would go bankrupt. Before my fourth brother didn't gamble, my family was still Quite rich."

She sighed deeply: "Before that, I never had to worry about food and clothing, but after my fourth brother gambled, even I had to worry about my livelihood."

County magistrate Yang couldn't help laughing out loud, and asked happily, "How old were you then?"

Bai Shan said: "Four years old!"

He remembered it especially well, because he got into a fight with her not long after!

Many memories of being a child are blurred, but this one is particularly special.

Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao.

Man Bao continued: "It's almost five years old, so you see, even a child like me has to worry about making a living. It can be seen how poor my family was at that time. So don't learn from my fourth brother to gamble."

At this moment, County Magistrate Yang finally believed that they would not go to gamble, and nodded with a smile. His eyes swept over the longevity lock on Manbao's neck, he couldn't help but let out a "huh", leaned forward to take a closer look, and asked with a smile, "Where did you get this longevity lock?"

"My parents called me!"

County magistrate Yang glanced at the longevity lock again, and asked with a smile, "Your parents hit it? Where did you hit it?"

"Where else can I call it? I can call it in the silver building," Man Bao repeated what her father said. Wearing the longevity lock can lead to a long life, so my father gave me a piece of silver, and after I put it on, my body really improved a lot, so it is not allowed to take off the longevity lock."

"You didn't say that before," Bai Shan said, "You used to say that it would be bad if you were small, and then your mother would take you to the Taoist temple to worship Lord Tianzun, and Lord Tianzun liked you, and then your illness would be cured." gone."

Bai Erlang asked confusedly: "Didn't you say that it is good to eat egg water?"

Man Bao: "... how do I know, it's all from my parents, you can judge for yourself."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang: "...your family has a lot of talk."

County magistrate Yang stared at the longevity lock on Manbao's neck thoughtfully, and after a long silence, he smiled and said: "This longevity lock looks very unique, can you untie it for me to have a look? "

"Aren't all longevity locks the same?" Bai Shan frowned slightly, "I have one too, let me show you mine."

County Magistrate Yang knocked him on the head with a fan, and said with a smile, "I just want to see Man Bao."

Man Bao didn't mind, so he just took it off and showed him. Although her parents wouldn't let her take it off, she was afraid of losing it, and County Magistrate Yang would never snatch her longevity lock.

County magistrate Yang took the longevity lock and walked up to a lantern to have a closer look. The three little heads also went up to have a look curiously, and found that it was still a longevity lock and could not grow a flower.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Yang smiled, returned the Longevity Lock to Man Bao, and asked with a smile, "Did your parents go to the silver building to call you?"

When he asked this question, Man Bao hesitated a little. She knew that father would brag occasionally, and when he bragged, he naturally didn't have the truth in his mouth.

She nodded slowly, feeling a little uncertain, "Really?"

Yang Heshu patted her head and said with a smile: "Okay, this longevity lock is very unique in style, I think I will give him one when I have a child."

Man Bao cheered up and asked, "Master Yang, are you getting married?"

Yang Heshu nodded sadly and said: "Yes, the family has already talked about marriage, and I will go back to get married soon."

Bai Shan then asked, "What about the spring seeds?"

Isn't the county magistrate trying to persuade Nongsang?

"Fortunately, when I come back from my marriage, it's just the spring planting, so I can catch up."

The three opened their mouths wide, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Man Bao hesitated and said: "My mother said that it is not a good family to marry a wife before the spring planting."

Yang Heshu: "...Although my family also has land, the daughter-in-law does not have to go to the land herself, so this kind of rule is not suitable for judging the quality of my family."

Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, she thought the Yang family was such a harsh family.

Yang Heshu's face turned dark when he saw this, and Bai Shan continued to add fuel to the fire, "But Mr. Yang, that's too urgent, why didn't you marry a wife a year ago?"

Yang Heshu glanced at him and said nothing, it was because he didn't want to get married at that time.

As for why they are getting married again now, it is naturally because he lost the fight and failed to bear the pressure of his parents.

Yang Heshu sighed deeply and said, "I originally wanted to wait until I became famous before getting a wife."

Man Bao calculated the ages of Yang and Shu, and said, "It will take many years, Mr. Yang, you have to pay the single tax, right?"

Bai Shan said: "You didn't set a good example, no wonder Brother Saturday didn't want to get married after you became the county magistrate."

Bai Erlang said: "My elder brother also said that he would get married, but he didn't want to marry a wife either, he said that he would only want to get married after being admitted to the Imperial College."

The three looked at Yang and the book together.

Seeing that they could even blame him for such a thing, Yang Heshu was very angry, turned around and left, "Let's go, go back and pack up your things and go home. No one will make trouble for my son now."

Just as he said that, a yamen servant flew over to report, "My lord, there are two groups of people fighting in the south of the city, involving as many as 18 people. The county captain has already brought people over."

Immediately, Yang Heshu walked quickly and asked, "Is there a light? Pay attention to fire prevention..."

The three of Man Bao thought about it, and felt that fighting, especially group fights, was too dangerous. They were too young to join in the fun, so they stood behind and waved goodbye to Yang Heshu, "Master Yang, we will go back first, and we will meet later."

Yang Heshu didn't even look back, he just waved his hands back and left.

Man Bao and Bai Shan Bai Erlang looked at each other, and took out the three taels of silver. The three of them laughed and rushed to the street to buy things.

Daji followed behind, glanced at Manbao's neck and followed quietly.

The price of goods in the county is not high, and there are few good things, so although they are open to buy, they still only spend less than one or two taels of silver, and they don’t share the rest of the money, so they put it in Manbao and decide Use it the next time you hang out together.

As the night got darker and the colder, the people parading with lanterns gradually became sleepy, and everyone started to disperse and go home.

Those who live in the city can walk a short distance back home, but those who live in the villages outside the city meet in various places, and then go out of the city to go home together.

As a result, the lights in the city gradually decreased, but on the contrary, the main roads and small roads outside the city lit up with little lights.

A watchman looked at the clapper and shouted quietly all the way, "The sky is dry and the things are dry, there are many Lantern Festival lanterns, be careful of the candles—"
