Chapter 195: Myself and Outsiders

As soon as she left the palace gate, Man Bao saw Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and Daji standing not far away. Her face lit up immediately, and she turned around and said to Eunuch Wu happily, "You don't have to send me off, just leave shopkeeper Xiao Zheng."

Just take it back to Jishitang, someone from my family will pick me up."

Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng was almost frightened to death by Man Bao, and immediately said: "No, no, I, I will just take Dr. Zhou's car and walk for a while. I won't bother Eunuch Wu."

Eunuch Wu also felt that if Man Bao didn't take his car, he wouldn't be bothered to go to see shopkeeper Xiao Zheng off.

Seeing that shopkeeper Xiao Zheng was interested, he smiled and nodded and said, "Then we will send you two here. When does Dr. Zhou plan to come over tomorrow?"

Man Bao thought for a while, she would have to give Yin You an acupuncture after school tomorrow, so she had to leave the palace early, so she said, "I'll come later."

In this way, you can leave the palace around Shen time.

Eunuch Wu smiled and nodded, noted the time and said goodbye to Man Bao.

Man Bao ran toward Bai Shan and the others, and Bai Shan also took a few steps forward. Seeing her rosy face and happy smile, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because there was an outsider like Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng, they had a lot of questions to ask, so they got a little quiet after getting in the car.

Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng's eyes flicked between the three of them. Seeing that they kept looking at each other silently without speaking, he felt a little regretful. If he had known better, he would have walked out and called a car.

The three of them made eye contact silently, and thought they understood each other's meaning. So as soon as they looked away, they all looked at shopkeeper Xiao Zheng and started to find topics to chat with him.

Man Bao asked him, "Are you nervous when you entered the palace?"

Bai Shanze asked, "Did Man Bao say anything wrong in the palace?"

Bai Erlang asked, "Have you seen the emperor?"

Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng: ...What if I want to get out of the car and go on my own?

Finally, under the care of three people, he made it to the door of Jishi Hall. He almost jumped out of the car as if running away. Man Bao raised the window and waved to him: "I won't go in. You tell shopkeeper Lao Zheng

Just say it, you were always there when we discussed the condition anyway."

But he wasn't with her for a long time. He didn't have the chance to ask her in the palace. Why don't he explain it when he comes out?

So that they can refer to her to see if she has done anything wrong or said the wrong thing.

As a result, before he could say anything, Manbao had already lowered the curtains, Daji gave his horse a twitch and left.

Shopkeeper Xiao Zheng could only watch the carriage go away. He sighed softly and turned back to resume his life.

Even if shopkeeper Xiao Zheng asked, Manbao wouldn't tell him. This is a secret, and of course the secret can only be told to his own family.

So the carriage just walked a certain distance. Manbao, who had been holding back his voice for a while, immediately lowered his voice, but couldn't help but excitedly said to them: "Do you know who the emperor is?"

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang looked at each other with speechless faces, "I know."

Man Bao stared, "Do you know?"

Bai Shan: "...Of course I know. He is His Highness the King of Qin, the second prince of the late Emperor. Who doesn't know that?"

Man Bao: "...I'm talking about people! You, me, him, all of us have seen him, do you know who he is?"

She said it as if she was not a human today... Bai Shan hadn't finished complaining in his heart when he suddenly realized the meaning of her words. He was startled, then thought carefully in his mind for a long time, and shook his head numbly, "I don't know.

, have we met?”

Bai Erlang was also very surprised, "Oh my God, when did we meet such a powerful person?"

Man Bao then chuckled and said, "We met him when we took a detour to Maozhou when we went to study in Yizhou City. At that time, he was pretending to be a merchant and said he was Li Er."

Bai Erlang was still thinking about who it was, but Bai Shan remembered it and sighed: "He is indeed Li Erlang."

Bai Erlang finally remembered something, but he couldn't quite remember what the person looked like. He was a little curious, "Why did he go to Yizhou at that time? Did he know that the King of Yizhou was planning something evil, so he went to investigate?"

Bai Shan and Man Bao glanced at him at the same time. Bai Shan said: "The son of a rich man does not stand under a dangerous wall. He is the emperor. How can he run to Yizhou knowing that the king of Yizhou is planning something evil?"

Man Bao said: "It's not like he doesn't have any subordinates. There are so many ministers. Just send any one of them to check."

Bai Erlang: "Then why did he go to Yizhou?"

Bai Shan thought for a while and said, "It should be for the purpose of resettling the refugees after the disaster, right?"

Man Bao: "Three years have passed by then, and everything that should be arranged should also be arranged. Which official is good and which official is bad? Basically, you can tell it all at a glance at the place."

Bai Shan nodded.

The three of them were silent for a while, then Bai Shan turned to Man Bao and asked, "Have you ever made friends with him?"

Man Bao coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty, "I climbed up accidentally."

Bai Shan: "...He is the emperor, don't have any friendship with him in the future."

Bai Erlang: "We can't even talk about it, huh, we met at least, and even stayed together at night. But he tricked us and asked you to come to Beijing to complain."

Man Bao sighed, "Yes, the emperor's family is pretty much the same as what is written in the book. I have always wondered why the third prince and the prince were born to the same parents. It's not like they have no money and no land. Why would he want to marry the prince?"

What about fighting for the throne?"

Bai Shandao: "It's because there is a lot of money and a lot of land, so we fight for it."

Bai Erlang disagreed, "My family also has a lot of money and a lot of land. I have never thought about robbing my eldest brother."

Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "That's because my cousin's share is pretty even. In addition to the eldest cousin inheriting an extra portion of the sacrificial field and ancestral house, the other fields are basically divided half and half between you two. But you

You know, according to the rules of our clan, the eldest son can inherit more than 70% of the property, and the remaining 30% is divided among the sons."

Manbao looked at Bai Erlang, "Then if Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai have more children..."

Bai Shan then said, "Then you two will share the 30% of the property. I'll see if you are happy then."

Bai Erlang opened his mouth wide, and it took him a while to find his voice, "No, why, why don't I know this rule?"

Man Bao finally remembered, "It seems like this is also included in the law?"

Bai Shan nodded affirmatively, "Yes, there is this one."

He said: "In their view, the entire world belongs to the emperor, and the prince who is born from the same mother as the emperor can only have a fief. Compared to the entire world, this land is not even 10%, not the same.

For a concubine prince born from a mother, the fiefdom will probably be smaller and poorer, so there are many people who are dissatisfied with it."

Man Bao: "It's really strange. It's Confucianism who insists on the system of direct descendants. It's also Confucianism who says it's not about being few but about inequality. So do Confucians want the direct descendants to inherit the most, or do they want the inheritance to be divided equally among the sons?"
