Man Bao sat on the chair and looked at the food on the table. He didn't particularly want to eat it.

She wanted to keep her stomach open and go back to Xiyiyuan to eat, but she still picked out some delicious dishes with her chopsticks.

Batou sat on his father's lap, stared at his sister-in-law for a while, then reached out to grab her chopsticks to eat.

Man Bao grabbed his hand and smiled: "Don't think I don't know because you have just eaten."

Bai Heng put down his chopsticks and asked Man Bao with a smile: "Miss Zhou, did you go out early in the morning?"

Man Bao smiled and nodded, "Go and pay New Year's greetings to Shangguan."

Bai Heng couldn't help but inquire, "The imperial doctors also have to be on duty during the New Year. I heard that Mrs. Zhou is also on duty on New Year's Eve?"

Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly, held up the teacup to hide his expression, and quietly raised his eyelids to glance at Bai Heng.

Man Bao nodded, not wanting to mention things in the palace, and said with a smile: "I'm still young, I just listen to what the adults say and do what I want."

Bai Heng smiled and said: "That's true, but Mrs. Zhou is now a famous miracle doctor. In terms of medical skills, there are probably not many people in the hospital who can compare with Mrs. Zhou, right?"

Although Man Bao was happy to be praised, he still shook his head and said matter-of-factly: "I'm far worse than Dr. Liu and Dr. Xiao Yuan."

Man Bao didn't want to talk about Tai Hospital, so Bai Heng only mentioned a few words, then looked at Bai Shanxiao and asked, "After the Chinese New Year, you should go to Chongwen Hall?"

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang smiled and responded.

Bai Heng sighed and said to a few people: "Shanbao is the most talented among our clan. Like his father, he has been very good at reading since he was a child. Although the other children have good intentions, they are just not as talented. I don't know what they will do this spring."

Can I be admitted to the Imperial College?"

Only then did Man Bao find out that Bai Heng and his two nephews were going to Beijing to take the exams during the Chinese New Year.

Zhou Lang was about to praise Bai Jing and Bai Chen, saying that they were still very good and should be able to pass the exam. Only then did he open his mouth. Xiang Mingxue had already smiled and said: "People are very lucky in life. If you study for the imperial examination,

It's the same thing. If the second young master Bai and the third young master Bai fail the exam this year, it's just because the fate has not arrived. The fifth master Bai doesn't have to worry."

If someone else had said this, Bai Heng would have felt that the other person was standing and talking without pain, or was being sarcastic. But what Xiang Mingxue said, combined with his life experience, Bai Heng could only nod and smile, sighing slightly in his heart.

I couldn't help but agree.

Maybe it’s really about luck.

Looking at Mingxue, he was also a handsome young man. He had been studying since he was a child, and he was admitted to the Imperial College at a young age. If it hadn't been for sudden changes, I'm afraid he would be studying in the Imperial College now.

But now, he is alone, his parents and relatives are completely gone, and there are only three or five clan members around him. Regardless of how many books he has read before, it is impossible for him to pursue an official career in the future.

Look at Bai Shan again.

Bai Heng couldn't help but turned his head slightly and glanced at Bai Shan. It was their father, son, grandson and grandson who really had the right fate.

The fourth uncle's death coincided with the troubled times, leaving only a young Bai Qi. Everyone thought that this was probably the case for the fourth uncle.

But Mrs. Liu not only raised Bai Qi, but also allowed him to enter the county school, then the government school, and all the way to the Imperial College after the establishment of the new dynasty.

In their generation, Bai Qi was the best at studying. When he was admitted to the Imperial Academy, his eldest brother was admitted just one year before him.

But his eldest brother is six years older than Bai Qi.

Everyone felt that Bai Qi was probably the most promising person of their generation. At that time, Dafang deliberately tried to get the Liu family to invest in the family business. At that time, the relationship between the two families was harmonious, and his parents told him to spend more time with Bai Qi when they had time.

Start coming and going.

No one thought that Bai Qi would never return to Yizhou, leaving only Bai Shan who was just born.

Everyone in the clan, including him, felt that there was no hope for the fourth family, but Mrs. Liu once again raised her grandson, and Bai Shan went higher and further than Bai Qi.

When Bai Qi was his age, he was still studying in a government school, but now he is studying in Chongwen Hall. Not only can he often see the prince and Kong Jijiu, he even has the opportunity to meet the emperor.

He has gone further and higher than any of the Bai family's children.

Bai Jing and Bai Chen are both eighteen or nineteen years old, but they have not yet been admitted to the Imperial College.

This is luck.

The fourth house has such good fortune, and they cannot snatch it away.

Bai Heng sighed slightly in his heart, smiled and encouraged Bai Shan and Bai Cheng, asking them to study hard and be loyal to the country and the king.

The three young men sat with them for a while for the red envelope. After guessing that the time was almost up, they got up and made excuses to run away without even taking the eight heads with them.

Batou was very comfortable sitting on his father's lap. He kept pulling things and his hands were being pulled away. He was having a great time playing with his father, and he didn't want to leave with his sister-in-law.

When Zhou Lang returned to his spiritual state, he wanted to throw his son aside but was reluctant to do so. He could only sigh and continue to hold him and talk to Bai Heng.

Manbao and the other three ran out, and she took out the red envelope and opened it. She was very happy to see the beautiful golden naked child inside, "Where's yours?"

Bai Erlang said: "Who still carries the red envelope with them? I put it back in the house."

Bai Shanze took out his own from his sleeve pocket and turned it over to show her. He found that not only were they the same size, but also had the same pattern on them, so he became happy and said, "Your fifth uncle is so generous. You can just pick one of them up."

The red envelopes are all made of gold. I only plan to string the copper coins together, and when I go out, I will give a red envelope to my colleagues’ children who are younger than me."

When Bai Shan heard that she also limited her age, he couldn't help but laugh, "There aren't many younger than you, just right, there will be two of them tomorrow."

They are talking about Tang He's son and Yang Heshu's son.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang thought of something, were startled for a moment and then said, "Wait a minute, if you want to give them red envelopes, don't we have to give them too?"

Man Bao was also startled for a moment, and after a moment he nodded happily, "Yes, we are brothers and sisters in the same sect. I'm younger than you, so I gave it all, are you embarrassed not to give it to me?"

Bai Shan: "...But we haven't made any money yet, and we don't have a job."

"That's right," Bai Erlang said tangledly: "Our family's rule is that we only give red envelopes when we get married. We haven't established a family or a career, so why should we give them?"

Man Bao stared at them, "I don't care, since I want to give, you have to give too."

Bai Shan thought for a while and then said: "Let's do it this way. I'll give it to you together, and Erlang's share of the money will be saved. We can go out to buy food later."

Man Bao thought for a moment and agreed, then looked at Bai Erlang.

It was better to give flowers to three of them than to others. Bai Erlang also nodded, but he always felt that something was wrong.

After he walked forward for a while, he finally remembered, "You all gave it, but what's the matter if I don't give it? The key is that I paid for it. If it doesn't work, I have to give it too!"

Otherwise, it always feels like he is a generation younger.
