Chapter 64: Refreshing
"When people get out of what they think they are safe, they disguise themselves." Bai Shuqin said old-fashioned, got up from the chair and said to Du Zijun: "Let's go, let's go and see him." β
Since the last time he wore Zhuo Jinxuan's youthful clothes, Bai Shuqin has fallen in love with men's clothing, which is much more convenient than women's clothing.
She was wearing black civilian clothes, looked up and said to Du Zijun, "How is it?" Handsome or not? β
Bai Shuqin's figure was already thin, and there was a belt on his stomach, so he couldn't see the bulge, and his body was very neat.
Du Zijun touched his chin and said embarrassedly: "You are too short to match the handsome." Just like a hairy boy! β
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shuqin "snapped" and hit him on the head, "You dare to dislike me for being short." Just you're tall, I'll make you tall! β
Du Zijun dodged Bai Shuqin's slap, held his head and begged for mercy: "You are the highest, you are the most handsome!" I'm blind, you don't remember the villain, just spare me! β
Bai Shuqin still slapped him on the head again, then withdrew his hand and said generously: "For the sake of telling the truth, I will let you go this time." Let's go! β
Du Zijun rubbed his head and looked at Bai Shuqin's back, he really couldn't guess why she was sometimes so mature, and sometimes naΓ―ve like a child.
The bustle of the street in different New Year months has returned to its usual appearance.
I heard that Bai Shao'an had all settled down the victims outside the city, and he scattered a lot of silver, but it won him a good reputation.
Bai Shuqin thought that according to Bai Shao'an's hypocritical nature, he would definitely hype it up, but he didn't seem to feel that he had done anything good, and he acted as usual, but with a little more humility.
Bai Shuqin has always believed that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, and what Bai Shao'an does is all acting in her eyes.
Listening to some people on the street talking about Bai Shaoan, there is a lot of regard for him as a clean official who is dedicated to the people, Bai Shuqin only thinks it is too ridiculous.
The better Bai Shaoan treats others, the more she thinks he is cruel.
This kind of man who evades responsibility, who only dares to commit crimes, but puts all the fault on Helan man, she looks down on him from the bottom of her heart.
Du Zijun saw that she was too empty, shook his hand in front of her, and shouted: "Third Imperial Princess, it's almost here!" β
Bai Shuqin knocked away his hand dangling in front of her, and said in disgust: "I'm not blind, I can see it!" β
"Hehe, isn't it up to you to get distracted!" He pointed to the man under a willow tree in front of the tavern in front of him, and said to Bai Shuqin, "Look, it's that person." β
Bai Shuqin looked in the direction of his finger, and a middle-aged man in ragged clothes sat directly on the ground, the beard on his face had not been shaved for about a while, hiding his entire face.
In front of him was a ceramic bowl with a missing mouth, and he was lazily leaning against Dashu, and his eyes were not known whether they were open or closed.
"This guy has a lot of backbone, you wait and see." What Du Zijun said was very interesting.
He didn't take Bai Shuqin directly to find Xu Fei, but took her to the tavern, asked for a pot of tea, and sat leisurely.
Although Bai Shuqin didn't know what Du Zijun's idea was, he still waited patiently.
After waiting for a while, a neatly dressed man passed in front of Xu Fei and casually threw a few copper plates into his broken bowl.
When Xu Fei heard the voice, his eyes widened, and he shouted at the man, "You stop me!" β
The man stopped, looked at him inexplicably, and said impatiently: "What's the matter, you're still too little?" β
Xu Fei was not angry, picked up the copper plate in the bowl, got up and walked to the man's side, and stuffed the copper plate back into the man's hand, "You take this money back!" β
The man had never met such a beggar and felt insulted, "You beggar, do you look down on Lao Tzu?" β
"No, no, there is no disdain. But I'm not begging, and I don't need your handouts. Xu Fei said politely.
The man looked at him as if he was a nervous disorder, and scolded: "Then you are sick, put a broken bowl there!" β
"It's my freedom to put my bowl where to put it, and if you throw the money in, it's your fault." Xu Fei is more sincere.
"Neurotic!" The man didn't bother to pay attention to him, shook his hand and left.
The copper plates fell to the ground, and Xu Fei bent down to pick up the copper plates one by one and gave them to the old beggar not far away. It can be seen that he really doesn't want the money.
"What a backbone!" Du Zijun exclaimed.
Bai Shuqin looked at Du Zijun like a neuropath, she always felt that this kid's brain circuit was abnormal, and she had to find a time for Beizhu to treat him well.
Du Zijun didn't notice Bai Shuqin's expression, and said to her excitedly: "You wait, I'll call him to you to see." β
Without waiting for Bai Shuqin to answer, he rushed outside like a weasel.
Not long after, Du Zijun led Xu Fei into the tavern, and he asked Xu Fei enthusiastically: "What do you want to eat?" My son-in-law is in for a treat! β
Bai Shuqin glared at Du Zijun, he would make his own decisions.
Xu Fei stretched out his hand and excused himself: "No, you're welcome." β
Count you as acquaintances, Bai Shuqin thought in his heart. No matter how she looks at this Xu Fei, she looks like a fool who has read too much, but it is very similar to a guy named Lu Xiucai in the TV series she watched before.
However, since Du Zijun brought the person, in order not to spoil Du Zijun's interest, she still asked him: "Why don't you accept the money from that person?" β
"Your son is so strange to speak, and I'm not begging, why do you want to take it?" Xu Fei said quite reasonably.
Bai Shuqin was amused by him, "You are in rags, and you still have a bowl in front of you." No matter who you look at, you're a beggar's standard. β
Xu Fei was not happy to hear what she said, put the bowl on the table, and said more seriously: "That's the opinion of you laymen!" My clothes are not stolen, I am not robbed, and the bowl is your own, even if it is tattered, you cannot consider me a beggar! β
"So what should I think of?" Bai Shuqin asked with interest.
"I'm just like you, except that I use heaven and earth as my bed!" Xu Fei was a little proud in his words, and he didn't feel inferior.
Bai Shuqin probably understood what kind of person he was, and asked Du Zijun to pour him a glass of wine, "I invite you with this cup, don't shirk." β
Xu Fei glanced at the wine glass and refused: "No merit is not rewarded!" β
Sure enough, he was a person with backbone, Bai Shuqin smiled, and didn't force him, but said, "It doesn't sound like your accent is local, where is your hometown?" β
"Dongqu, the hometown of the saint!" Xu Fei's words were full of pride.
Bai Shuqin knew that this place in Dongqu was still hundreds of miles away from the capital, not far, but not close. "Dongqu is rich in products, so there's no need to come to the capital, right?"
"You know what!" Xu Fei was a little angry.
"Let me guess, you went to Beijing to catch the exam and failed, right?" Bai Shuqin stared at his eyes, although he said that he was guessing, his tone was extremely sure.
Xu Fei's eyes widened, and after a while, he looked cynical again, his eyes rolled upward, "What do you know about this stinky child!" How did I end up on the list? Oh, it's the people who elected the problem! In my opinion, if this continues, the world should be changed..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Zijun had already covered his mouth tightly.
If the Son of Heaven says such rebellious words, if they are listened to by those who have a heart, I am afraid that they will also be implicated.
Bai Shuqin waved his hand at Du Zijun, "Put your hand down and let him speak." β
"If this is heard, won't we also be implicated?" Du Zijun looked at Bai Shuqin in embarrassment.
"It's okay, I'll take care of something." Bai Shuqin didn't care.
Du Zijun reluctantly let go of his hand, and warned Xu Fei carefully, "You have to pay attention to what you say, otherwise we will all be arrested and put in prison." β
"What you just said seems to have a deep meaning!" Bai Shuqin raised his eyes and looked at Xu Fei, "The person who is elected in this election can refer to the emperor at the top and the invigilator at the bottom, who are you referring to?" β
Xu Fei obviously didn't want to say more on this topic, so he snorted, "Whoever has a ghost in his heart, say whom!" β
Bai Shuqin probably knew it in his heart, so he didn't ask, and threw ten taels of silver in front of Xu Fei.
"What are you doing here? I said, I'm not a beggar! Xu Fei felt insulted.
"You're not a beggar, you're not as good as a beggar." Bai Shuqin said unceremoniously.
Xu Fei is also a scholar, how can he stand such an insult, his face is red with anger. However, most of the face is under the beard, and it can be seen only by the exposed skin, which is indeed very angry.
"You can go on like this, lingering in this world, complaining occasionally about the injustice of this world. Be more cynical and hate the people you look down upon. Bai Shuqin lay down behind the chair, put his hands on the back of the chair, and said leisurely: "Perhaps, you have another choice." β
Although Xu Fei was angry, his mind was still clear, and when he heard her say this, he asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by this?" β
"You have your revenge, I have my needs. If you want to know, come to Bohol Hall at sunset the day after tomorrow afternoon. After Bai Shuqin finished speaking calmly, he stopped talking.
On the way back, Du Zijun couldn't figure it out, Bai Shuqin probably didn't look down on this person, why did he ask him to go to Baohetang to find her the day after tomorrow.
Without waiting for him to think for too long, Bai Shuqin spoke first, "Tomorrow you go and investigate, all the officials in charge of the imperial examination last year, as well as Xu Fei's ranking." Alone, is there a problem? β
Du Zijun replied without thinking about it: "No problem! β
"Is that really okay?" Bai Shuqin looked at him with some suspicion, this matter sounded easy, but he didn't want to say it so simple.
Du Zijun was originally very confident, but when she asked, he scratched his head and whispered back: "Why don't you give me another hand?" β
"Then Qingluan!" Bai Shuqin agreed happily.
Du Zijun hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "You spare me, I'll do it alone!" β
"Is Qingluan so scary?" Bai Shuqin couldn't help but ask, she felt that Qingluan was neat and steady, no matter how she looked at it, she was a rare good helper.
"Not really!" Du Zijun said embarrassedly, "She doesn't smile, she's amazing, and the pressure with her is too great." β
Bai Shuqin sighed with emotion: "The ridiculous dignity of a man! β
Seeing that the time was still early, Bai Shuqin was not in a hurry to return home, so he proposed to go to Baohetang to have a look.
After a busy trial phase, Boholtang is now gradually on the right track. Although the fee was charged, there was still a steady stream of patients coming for treatment.
Although the cost of medicine is already the cheapest in the capital, Bai Shuqin still sets the seventh day of every month as the day of free clinics to solve the problem of medical treatment for those poor families.
This move has won a lot of hearts for Zhuo Jinxuan.
In the afternoon, there were not many patients in Baohetang, and Beizhu had a rare leisure meeting, and when he saw Bai Shuqin and Du Zijun coming, he handed over the prescription in his hand to the other medicine boys and ran over to greet him.
In less than a month, Du Zijun felt that Beizhu seemed to have grown up a lot, and even his eyes became resolute.
Beizhu trotted up to them and asked with a smile, "Sister Bai, Brother Zijun, why are you free to come?" β
Bai Shuqin touched her head and said with a smile: "I think you're here!" β
"Hehe, I miss you too!" Beizhu put his arm around Bai Shuqin and said affectionately.
Du Zijun next to him heard her say this, and his face suddenly turned red like a monkey's buttocks. But luckily no one paid attention to him, otherwise he would have wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into.
Beizhu is very grateful to Bai Shuqin, in her heart, Bai Shuqin is her sister.
