Chapter 588 The kind with purpose
Wei Chen saw her curiosity and said, "This is my little servant boy's house."
Man Bao asked curiously: "Are you living in the mansion or outside?"
Wei Chen sighed, "We arrived late, and all the good houses nearby have been rented out. Now I can only live in the government school temporarily, thinking about renting a house when it becomes available."
"Then where does your servant live?"
"He? He shared a room with someone outside Kangxue Street."
Man Bao heard Zhou Lang talking about that kind of house, which was a Datong shop. There might be seven or eight people living there, all rented by people who came to Yizhou City to look for work.
Man Bao nodded and said very enthusiastically: "I'll send you to study in the government. It's hard for you to hold so many books."
"No, no, we have a carriage."
"Yes, yes, the book is so heavy, it's troublesome to carry it up and down."
Wei Chen finally came to his senses, did this young lady have an ulterior motive for being so attentive?
He looked at her stature, well, it only reached his chest, and she looked very young, only eleven or twelve years old.
At such a young age, you shouldn't think too much about it, right?
That's what he thought, but when he saw that Man Bao wanted to give it to him so enthusiastically, and that he had worked so hard to find so many books for him just now, Wei Chen couldn't help but think astray.
His face turned a little red, and after hesitating for a while, he still whispered: "Miss Zhou, I, I have a fiancée."
"Hey, do you have a fiancée? I thought you were already married and had children. You look about the same age as my fifth brother. But my fifth brother doesn't have a wife either," Man Bao didn't react for a moment.
He asked naggingly, "Is your fiancée pretty?"
She first looked at Wei Chen's face and said, "You look pretty good. Your fiancée shouldn't be too bad, right?"
Wei Chen realized that he was overthinking.
Man Bao also came to her senses belatedly. She blinked and looked at Wei Chen, making him look red in the face.
Man Bao then chuckled and explained: "Brother Wei, actually I just want to make friends with you. My second junior brother is also studying in the government school. What a coincidence, he is also in Class C."
Wei Chen widened his eyes slightly and asked, "What's his name?"
"Bai Shan."
"Oh, it's him, I recognize him," Wei Chen immediately regained his enthusiasm and said with a smile: "He is the youngest one in our class, and he passed the exam on his own merit. Although he is the last one, he is still among the best in our class.
Class C is also a celebrity."
"Yes, yes, you see, we are already friends, and you and my second junior brother are coincidental classmates, so are you also friends?"
Wei Chen felt relieved and started to feel happy. He smiled and nodded, "We are friends."
"Then let's go together. I'm just going to pick up my second junior brother to go home."
Wei Chen happily agreed and asked Man Bao to get in the car before looking at her doubtfully, "You look younger than Bai Shan, but are you actually older than him?"
"No, I'm younger than him."
Wei Chen: "...Then why do you call him Junior Brother?"
"He entered the profession later than me," Man Bao said with a proud smile, "There is a third junior brother below us who is older than us."
Wei Chen: "...it's so elegant to respect the master. The age of the disciples he accepts is so coincidental, from young to old."
Manbao thought about it and realized it was true.
Fortunately, Bai Erlang was not smart enough. In fact, seriously speaking, Bai Erlang was the first among the three of them to study with his husband, he just didn't worship the entrance wall.
And she was the second one, and Bai Shanbao was the last one to come.
Thinking of this, Man Bao couldn't help but purse her lips in joy. Until she reached the gate of the mansion, she still couldn't hold back the smile on her face, and her whole person looked very happy.
The school has just started, and there are many people like Wei Chen who have not bought all their books, or who have various excuses not to go to school, so the gate of the school is still very busy today.
Wei Chen very generously invited Man Bao to come to study, "Do you want to go in to find your junior brother?"
Man Bao nodded repeatedly. Outsiders cannot enter easily. They must have a sign to enter.
Otherwise, someone with a brand will have to carry it.
Wei Chen used signs to bring Man Bao and Tong Jia in, and the three of them carried two large baskets of books to the dormitory.
Wei Chen, who had never done much work, was not as good as Man Bao. He was panting from exhaustion and couldn't help but rub his arms.
Wei Chen simply acted as the shopkeeper, found two books, put them under his arm and said, "Tongjia, you put all these books neatly, and I'll take Mrs. Zhou to the classroom."
The Tong family responded with a "yes".
Man Bao had not been to the housemaster's side last time. He looked at the scenery along the road curiously. There were obviously more plants and trees here than in the previous teaching place. Along the way, Keke reported several times that he found plants that were not included.
Manbao looked at it several times and refrained from reaching out to pull it out.
When they walked outside the classroom, the bell just rang. Wei Chen looked up at the position of the sun and said, "School is over."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentleman walked out of the classroom with a serious face and a book. Wei Chen quickly stood aside, bowed his head and saluted, waiting for him to pass by.
The gentleman glanced at him, frowned slightly when he saw Man Bao, but said nothing, just nodded slightly and left quickly.
As soon as the teacher left, the classroom immediately became lively. Some people brought books out, but more people stayed in the classroom to talk.
When Man Bao walked to the back door of Class C1, he saw Bai Shanbao clearing the table alone.
Man Bao tiptoed forward, but before he started shouting, Bai Shanbao suddenly turned around viciously, making Man Bao say "Ah" loudly in fright.
Bai Shanbao didn't expect it to be Manbao, and was also startled. He sat down on the stool, was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Man Bao was unconvinced, "You still scared me."
Wei Chen, who was standing aside: ...By the way, aren't you senior siblings? Is it really okay to quarrel as soon as we meet?
Bai Shanbao frowned and asked, "How did you get in?"
"My friend brought me in," Man Bao then remembered Wei Chen and quickly introduced him to them, "Brother Wei, this is what I'm talking about, my junior brother, your classmate, Bai Shan."
Then he said to Bai Shanbao, "This is Wei Chen, whom we just met at the bookstore."
Wei Chen smiled and saluted Bai Shanbao, "Brother Bai, I have admired your name for a long time."
Bai Shanbao looked at his smile, his face became a little warmer, and he returned the gift, "Brother Wei, you are polite. Please forgive me for disturbing my senior sister."
Man Bao: "I'm not bothering you, we are helping each other."
"No, no, Miss Zhou helped me. I didn't help Miss Zhou."
Man Bao: "You are older than us. It will be helpful if you take more care of my junior brother in the government school."
Wei Chen: "We are classmates, and we should help each other. It's not worth mentioning it to Mrs. Zhou."
