"The ancestors hated corruption, and as long as the embezzlement reached 100 taels, they could be convicted. If it is more than 1,000 taels, it should be punished! 10,000 taels, then the nine clans will be destroyed! Zhuo Jinxuan explained to her.

"If you say that, aren't you afraid that I'll go fishing to enforce the law? If I can't take out 10,000 taels, I can still give up 1,000 taels. Still, you didn't answer my question. Bai Shuqin looked at him with a smile.

"The impact is definitely big. If nothing else, just based on the relationship between the concubine's family and the Bai family, it is impossible for me not to be implicated. Zhuo Jinxuan replied seriously.

He looked at Bai Shuqin's pensive appearance, and knew in his heart that she was definitely not as simple as asking casually. He rubbed her head and smiled comfortingly, "You just do what you have to do, don't worry about anything else." ”

Bai Shuqin's face was heavy, she always felt that she was more like a chess piece, and this feeling made her unhappy.

It is imperative for her to destroy the Bai family. But you can wait for the position of the crown prince to be decided, or even after Zhuo Jinxuan ascends to the throne before acting.

It's just that even if she doesn't do it now, Nangong Che will arrange for someone else to do it.

Bai Shuqin wanted to have a showdown with Zhuo Jinxuan, but Zhuo Jinxuan put his index finger on her mouth, "The wall has ears." I know this in my heart, don't worry. ”

The two didn't talk about these things anymore, and Bai Shuqin's eyes changed a little when he looked at Zhuo Jinxuan.

The distance between Baohetang and the Three Princes' Mansion is not far, and it takes less than half an hour to walk. Because it was a free treatment, even the courtyard was full of people, and many people were waiting outside the courtyard.

Beizhu saw Bai Shuqin and Zhuo Jinxuan coming in, and he was too busy to greet them.

Bai Shuqin didn't expect that there would be so many people, so he couldn't help but suggest to Zhuo Jinxuan: "Find some more people from the house to come over and help!" ”

"Ma'am, look at the arrangement."

Imperial Doctor Li personally sat down to prescribe the patient's pulse, while Beizhu grabbed medicine for them in the back. In the past two days, Beizhu has a general understanding of these traditional Chinese medicines.

Bai Shuqin also came to the back to help Beizhu grab the medicine, which made Beizhu a lot easier.

There were so many patients that it was already sunset, and most of the people in the courtyard were still gathering and refused to leave.

Zhuo Jinxuan ordered people to send these people out and let them come back tomorrow.

Although the patients were reluctant, they left one after another. The courtyard was a lot cleaner, and Bai Shuqin was even more tired and slumped on the chair.

"Looks like we can't go on for free! Du Zijun, you go and post a notice, tomorrow only for the top ten for free! Bai Shuqin didn't hear a response immediately after shouting, and then remembered that Du Zijun went home for the New Year.

"Sister Bai, Brother Zijun is home now!" Beizhu reminded her in a whisper.

Bai Shuqin pulled the corners of his mouth tiredly, turned to Zhuo Jinxuan and said, "Then please!" ”

"Yes, my good lady!" Zhuo Jinxuan agreed.

In just two days, the reputation of Baohetang spread throughout the capital.

After all, Imperial Doctor Li served in the palace, and it was impossible for him to sit in Baohetang for a long time, so Lang Zhong in the palace of the third prince took over the important responsibility.

Since Bai Shuqin limited the top ten people to free of charge every day, there were people who couldn't afford to see a doctor queuing at the door in the middle of the night.

Other medical centers have also followed the example of Boholtang, and for a while, seeing a doctor has become a trend in the capital. Regardless of whether they are sick or not, people in the market have the psychology of not taking advantage of nothing.

Bai Shuqin arranged for Beizhu to learn the theory of traditional Chinese medicine with Imperial Doctor Li in the morning, and went to Baohetang to practice in the afternoon to help by the way.

Beizhu may have been born to practice medicine, and even Imperial Doctor Li praised a student who had never seen such a talent.

Bai Shuqin saw that they were learning enthusiastically, and he was also interested.

However, after a long day with Li Yu's medicine, she gave up this idea, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and medicine should be left to others to do.

After all, Zhuo Jinxuan and the others have not yet been crowned kings, so the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner still has to enter the palace.

Different from Bai Shuqin's imagination, she originally thought that the royal family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner should not be said to be a full Han banquet, at least it should be a full table of delicacies and seafood.

However, after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it is only a dozen dishes, even inferior to ordinary rich and noble families.

Although there are not many dishes, the process is extremely cumbersome. From purifying his body before meals to sacrificing his ancestors, it took two full hours for Bai Shuqin to finally drink the first sip of soup.

The etiquette in the palace is strict, even if the emperor says that the family can be casual, no one really relaxes.

Bai Shuqin secretly looked at the emperor, he was over half a hundred years old, his figure was fat, and his belly was slightly bulging forward. But those eyes were still as sharp as the eagles in the sky.

It can be vaguely seen that among the three princes, Zhuo Jinxuan is the most similar to him.

Zhuo Jinxuan saw that she lowered her head, but the things in the bowl hadn't moved for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "What do you think?" ”

"Nothing." Bai Shuqin looked up and smiled at him.

Halfway through the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it was time for each prince to give New Year's gifts to the emperor. The young and the old are orderly, so naturally the eldest prince Zhuo Qingyuan came first.

Zhuo Qingyuan seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he couldn't suppress the excitement on his face.

"Do you want to make a bet with me?" Bai Shuqin asked Zhuo Jinxuan with a smile.

Zhuo Jinxuan naturally wouldn't spoil her interest, and lowered his head and whispered: "What are you betting on?" ”

A shrewd glint flashed in Bai Shuqin's eyes, "Bet on what gift your eldest brother will give." Whoever wins, how about agreeing to the other party on one condition? ”

"Yes." Zhuo Jinxuan was very interested.

"I bet he will send his father's famous calligraphy and paintings, what about you?" Bai Shuqin said with confidence on his face.

Zhuo Jinxuan thought about the gifts given by Zhuo Qingyuan in the past, all of which were rare treasures, so he guessed: "I bet on rare treasures." ”

Bai Shuqin nodded, and looked at Zhuo Qingyuan with a look of waiting to see a good show.

Zhuo Qingyuan and Zhou Xuan stood up from their positions, and the two of them said in unison: "Son, I wish my father all the best, longevity and health!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhuo Jingyuan took out the gifts that had been prepared and put them in a long sandalwood box.

Sure enough, as Bai Shuqin expected, inside was a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix by the late painter Wang Yushi, whom the emperor loved very much.

The emperor smiled, and asked the chief manager to take the painting over, and looked at it in his hand for a long time, and then reluctantly put it away after a long time.

Zhuo Qingyuan's face was full of pride, Bai Shuqin's face was more smug than him, his smile was about to overflow, his hand was underneath, and he secretly compared to Zhuo Jinxuan, and said, "I won!" ”

Zhuo Jinxuan was not disappointed when he lost, and asked her rhetorically: "What are your conditions?" ”

"I'll tell you later!" Bai Shuqin sold it.

The gift given by Zhuo Linfeng was the peace and blessing he went to Lingshan Temple to pray for, and the emperor's performance was not as happy as seeing the painting sent by Zhuo Qingyuan.

It was Zhuo Jinxuan's turn, Bai Shuqin stood up with him, and said the congratulatory words that the two had communicated a long time ago.

This gift, Bai Shuqin took the initiative to ask her to prepare, until she entered the palace, she also said that she wanted to surprise Zhuo Jinxuan, and did not tell him what it was.

Bai Shuqin took out a mahogany box with a length and width of about fifteen centimeters, raised one eyebrow, and motioned for Zhuo Jinxuan to take it.

Zhuo Jinxuan took the box and handed it to the chief manager.

The chief manager took it and handed it to the emperor, who opened it and looked at it, looking excited and excited than seeing the calligraphy and paintings sent by Zhuo Qingyuan.

The corners of his eyes were a little moist, and he said to Zhuo Jinxuan: "It's hard for you to have a heart!" ”

Zhuo Qingyuan was robbed of the limelight, and looked at Zhuo Jinxuan unwillingly.

Zhuo Jinxuan was also confused, and he didn't know what was in the box, but it seemed that Bai Shuqin didn't plan to tell him now.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is finally over, and this year, Zhou Xuan and Bai Shuqin are both pregnant, and Zhuo Linfeng took the initiative to ask him to keep vigil for his ancestors.

After leaving the palace gate, Bai Shuqin breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally relaxed.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Qingfeng, "Stop!" ”

The carriage stopped in response, and Bai Shuqin looked at Zhuo Jinxuan slyly and said, "The bet just now, now it's time to cash out!" ”

Zhuo Jinxuan looked at her dotingly: "Say, what do you want?" ”

"From here, carry me back!"

It's not too close or far from the house, but Bai Shuqin's weight is still very easy for Zhuo Jinxuan to carry her back, so he agreed without thinking about it.

Bai Shuqin lay on Zhuo Jinxuan's back, put his arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, "Am I heavy?" ”

"It's not heavy." Zhuo Jinxuan replied with a smile and walked on the bluestone road easily.

Bai Shuqin was not satisfied with this answer, and pretended to be angry and said, "Give you a chance, say it again!" ”

Zhuo Jinxuan rolled his eyes and thought for a while before replying to her: "Heavy!" The whole world is on the back, how can it not be heavy! ”

"You flamboyant guy!" Bai Shuqin pinched Zhuo Jinxuan's ear and said in his ear: "Tell me quickly, who did you learn these love words from!" Honestly, I wouldn't have spared you today! ”

"You! I learned all this from my wife! Zhuo Jinxuan accompanied her to act.

"Nonsense, I won't do this!" Bai Shuqin retorted.

There are red lanterns all the way on the street, and there are children frolicking on the street, Zhuo Jinxuan still attracts a lot of attention on the street with Bai Shuqin on his back.

"Do you think there will be rumors tomorrow that your third prince is actually a favorite wife slave?" Bai Shuqin enjoyed the attention of others and quipped.

Zhuo Jinxuan didn't care about the eyes of passers-by, and replied to her: "The pet lady should be, this is a fact, not a rumor." ”

Bai Shuqin chuckled, "I should really call you the little prince of love words!" ”

"I'm telling the truth, isn't my wife doubting my sincerity?" Zhuo Jinxuan said seriously.

Bai Shuqin was amused by him and laughed, this kind of husband who has both action and is not stingy with love words, she is very satisfied. She lay on his solid sorrow, hoping that the road would not come to an end so soon.

The Spring Festival came lively, and the end was deserted.

The weather was bright a year ago, as if spring had arrived early, and the day after the year was cloudy again. The rain can't fall, and it's extremely depressing.

In the first month, Bai Shuqin did not go back to Baifu to visit relatives, and she did not even receive Bai Shao'an to visit.

Zhuo Jinxuan respected her approach and did not force her to do things that would make her unhappy.

Du Zijun finally came back from home and brought Bai Shuqin a lot of cured meat that his father and mother had pickled themselves. Bai Shuqin doesn't like to eat much, but Beizhu likes it very much.

Nangong Che gave Bai Shuqin the task, and Bai Shuqin naturally took it to heart.

The longer she stayed in this world, the more she felt the need to cultivate her own power. It's too hard to go it alone without a helper.

The easiest people in this world to work for money are those who are homeless, and these people are a good choice.

Bai Shuqin asked to talk to Du Zijun, and Du Zijun followed Bai Shuqin for more than half a year, and the progress was not a little bit.

In just three or four days, he made a roster of beggars and wanderers in the city, and he recorded everything he could find.

Bai Shuqin browsed roughly, closed the roster, and asked Du Zijun: "Who do you think is suitable to take the lead?" ”

Du Zijun thought about it and replied to her: "There is a wanderer named Xu Fei, I think it's good." ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"This person speaks like he has read a book, not like an ordinary beggar, who has backbone." Du Zijun expressed his feelings.

Bai Shuqin frowned, "Just this? ”

"Of course not!" Du Zijun denied it, but he couldn't accurately describe this person to Bai Shuqin, so he proposed, "Why don't I bring him to you to see?" ”
