Zheng Mi's waist bent down a little more, and replied softly, "Back to the county lord, His Royal Highness is in the side courtyard, with that maid." ”

"I'm sorry for the trouble Lord Zheng," the county lord of Yining had no expression on his face, and every word was extremely clear, "It's because I'm not strict in discipline." ”

"Where, where—" Zheng Mi shook his head repeatedly.

The county lord of Yining's gaze fell on Bai Yi again, "Who is this?" ”

"It's the doctor from the Tai Hospital." Zheng Mi preemptively replied, "It was the Yamen who made a special trip to treat the wounded today. ”

Yining's gaze slowly moved away, and his voice couldn't hear the change, "I heard that Yikang went to make a scene with a young imperial doctor not long ago, is that you?" ”

"It's me." Bai Yi replied.

Yining frowned slightly, "Do you often meet with Yikang?" ”

Bai Yi raised his head with some concern, "What does the county lord of Yining mean by this?" ”

Yining didn't answer directly, she still looked at the front of the road, "How many things did Yikang break in the Tai Hospital last time, I will send someone to count and calculate it another day, and I don't owe a penny to Xuanqingguan if I should pay for it......

"Some people should also put themselves in the right position and clarify their identity."

Bai Yi sneered, and before Yining finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Yining was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and scolded, "...... You stop! ”

However, Bai Yi walked like a fly, and did not look back once.

"That'...... His Royal Highness the county lord, this official also lost his company first. ”

Zheng Mi took two steps back, and then chased after him quickly.

……

In the evening of this day, Bai Yi returned home violently, put things in the door and began to go to the backyard to chop firewood.

According to the previous agreement with Bai Ling, he went home half an hour earlier than before to cook.

Bai Ling was lying on a rocking chair in the courtyard and dozing off, but when he saw Bai Yi coming back alone, he rubbed his eyes and called out his name - but the voice was a little small, and Bai Yi may not have heard it.

The sound of chopping wood came from the backyard.

Bai Ling stood up and went back to the house to put in place the things that Bai Yi had brought back today—in addition to some daily notebooks, there was also a small thing wrapped in a square scarf.

Bai Ling reached out and found that it was a jade bracelet.

Although she didn't know much about jade, she could still feel that the texture of this bracelet was different from those ordinary jewelry, it was clear, warm, green all over, and the light transmission was also very good.

Bai Ling put the jade bracelet under his nose and sniffed it - there was a faint fragrance that belonged to a girl.

Her eyes lit up, and she was not sleepy in an instant.

Ooh!

- I want to have a sister-in-law...... Is it?

Bai Ling put down the bracelet and walked lightly to the backyard, just when Bai Yi walked to the kitchen with a frown and firewood.

"Something?"

Bai Ling shook his head with a smile and turned sideways to let Bai Yi pass.

She followed Bai Yi into the kitchen, "...... So what do we eat at night? ”

Bai Yi didn't look up, and asked casually, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Sour soup fish? Cherry meat? Bai Ling leaned against the wall, "Tomato cauliflower?" Sweet and sour tenderloin? ”

The movement in Bai Yi's hand stopped, "...... It's sweet and sour, don't you like to eat sour. ”

"I don't like to eat sour," Bai Ling hugged in his arms, "but...... Isn't it nice to have a sweet and sour? ”

Bai Yi finally heard a little bit of the sound, he took a deep breath, crossed his hands on his hips, and glared at Bai Ling.

Bai Ling was not stunned at all, "What's the matter with the bracelet?" That was certainly not given to me. ”

"It's the Lord of Yikang." Bai Yi casually threw the firewood under the stove, and then began to sharpen the knife, "I met her again in Jingzhao Yin Yamen today." ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and his expression recovered a little, "Jingzhao Yin Yamen? Why would you go there? ”

Thinking of what happened during the day, Bai Yi still felt extremely angry in his heart.

He told everything that happened today, in addition to everything that happened in the Tai Hospital and Jingzhao Yin Yamen, there was also the matter of Adjutant Shen Jichuan following him to the Tai Hospital.

After the adjutant entered the West Firewood Room, he ran into each other, and he didn't know how much additional cleaning work had been added to him.

In a word, Bai Yi's today is just four words - very unsmooth!

"What do they think of the hospital? Come and go as you want? The prestige of each official is very great, and with the title of a county lord, they are self-righteous above the top, and they also 'clear their identity', I think it is they who want to clear their identity! If you have to take it out and compare, then I don't know who is the toad and who is the swan meat! ”

Bai Ling was amused by the analogy, and burst out laughing.

"I see......" she sighed softly, "I thought ......"

Bai Yi's gaze swept over, "Why do you think so?" ”

"It's nothing," Bai Ling shook his head again and again, and returned to his usual calm, "Actually, it's quite understandable that Adjutant Shen Jichuan went to you...... We all know what surgery means on the battlefield. ”

Looking at each other, Bai Yi suddenly remembered the topic that Bai Ling talked about with him last night.

Bai Yi looked at Bai Ling, "Have you been thinking about this matter these days?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded, her gaze was clear and calm, "There is a lotus leaf in the lotus pond, which doubles every day. The lotus leaves cover the entire lotus pond on the seventh day, and when will it cover half of the lotus pond? ”

“…… On the night of the sixth day. ”

"Well," said Bai Ling softly, "I think we're on the eve of that decisive battle right now. ”

Bai Yi listened with a complicated expression.

The edifice will fall, never without warning.

In the middle of it, the distant enemy had already followed the displaced people south, infiltrated the heart of the empire, and lurked between the snorts of the imperial court.

What if all the crises were suddenly detonated at the same time?

Suddenly, Bai Ling laughed again.

"What are you laughing at?" Bai Yi asked.

"I always feel like you're holding a script for a happy enemy now." Bai Ling replied quietly.

Bai Yi narrowed his eyes, "...... What script?. ”

"In short, taking away a girl's intimate jewelry, this start is very dangerous." Bai Ling smiled and picked up a small basket and picked up a few handfuls of greens, "I'll help you wash the vegetables." ”

Bai Yi frowned and looked at Bai Ling's figure in the courtyard - although Bai Lingqi was strange today, it did seem to have returned to its former appearance.

That's a good thing, right?

……

At the dinner table at night, the family of three sat down to eat again.

Most of tonight's dishes are really sweet and sour, Bai Shijun, who likes salty and spicy, barely moved a few chopsticks, and then kept staring at the double spicy sauce at hand, dipping the green and red peppers in the rice.

Bai Ling sandwiched two leafy vegetables into Bai Shijun's bowl, "Anyway, on the ninth day of the fifth month, are Dad and Bai Yi free at night?" ”

"The Ninth Lunar Month...... That's four days later," Bai Yi calculated, "What's wrong?" ”

"There is a sister in the palace who is going to get married, and she sent me an invitation before, and the date is set for the ninth day of the new year," Bai Ling said softly, "She took good care of me when I was in the palace, so I want to give her a show and give her a gift when the time comes." ”

"When?"

"It is said that Shen Shi will enter the banquet and the banquet will be held at Youshi," Bai Ling said softly, "When I come back after eating, it will be midnight." ”
