Chapter 14: The Birthday Feast is Approaching
"What? Do you know the prescription?"
Unexpectedly, in addition to controlling emotions, Xiao Bang also has such a ability, Shanhe was quite surprised. But without waiting for him to continue asking, he listened to the little bracelet preach:
"Master, I don't know any prescription, but I know that this should be the answer that the old man wants!"
Seeing that Xiao Bang was so sure, but he claimed that he didn't understand the prescription, Shanhe immediately made a difficulty, and he didn't know whether to believe Xiao Bang's answer.
Seeing that Shanhe was suspicious, Xiao Bang knew that if she couldn't explain, I was afraid that it would be difficult for the owner to believe herself. After a little hesitation, he told the truth one by one.
It turned out that Xiao Bang really didn't know what to do, and what she just said came from the memories of her previous master.
The previous owner of the bracelet knew about this prescription, so when she saw these herbs, she immediately thought about it.
However, when Shanhe asked for the details of this prescription, the bracelet knew nothing. Regardless of the efficacy of the prescription or the effect of the herbs, she could not answer any of them.
Seeing that the bracelet was sincere, it didn't seem like a lie, and Shanhe speculated that the previous owner of the bracelet might have just seen this prescription by chance, so he kept it in his heart. As for the purpose of the prescription, he did not know. Therefore, the bracelet is unknown.
After figuring out the reason, Shanhe thought about it again and again, and finally decided not to take this risk and gave up answering.
It's like doing a multiple-choice question, even if you get the answer right, if the teacher asks about the details, it will inevitably reveal the stuffing. So, it's better to honestly say "I don't know".
After listening to Shanhe's answer, Lu Guozhong was obviously a little disappointed, but he didn't ask any more, nodded and put away the medicinal materials on the table.
However, I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentionality, after Lu Guozhong swept the table, he only left the five medicinal materials that Xiao Bracelet had just said, which were not included in the box for a long time, causing Shanhe to be stunned and frown.
"What's the matter?, is there a problem with these flavored medicines?" Lu Guozhong asked coldly when he saw this.
"Ahh
"Oh, then what are you staring at them?"
"I, I...... Uh, I thought you forgot to take these pills, so I thought if I should help you......"
"Oh, what's there to think about? Collect it for me! By the way, your task this week is to tidy up the Chinese medicine cabinet and pack up the medicinal herbs, and I will check it next week." Alright, you go get busy. ”
Seeing that the director gave up the question, Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the medicine cabinet.
But Lu Guozhong looked at the back of Shanhe, his eyes narrowed into a slit, his brows furrowed slightly, and he gradually fell into contemplation.
......
In the early morning of the next day, in a single-family villa on the outskirts of Qingsong City.
After washing, Bai Lu came down from the second floor wearing an oversized T-shirt, turned into the dining room, and sat opposite her father.
"Dad, I applied for pediatrics and emergency medicine, why did I end up being assigned to the laboratory department?"
Bai Lu's father's name is Bai Xueji, who is just over fifty this year, with a moderate build, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and looks much younger than his actual age.
Hearing his daughter ask about work, Bai Xueji stirred the coffee in the cup, never left the newspaper in his hand, and replied:
"Pediatrics and emergency departments are too busy to suit you, so I'll ask Secretary Bai to transfer them to you. ”
"Dad, I've studied medicine for so many years, but it's not for this! There is not even a patient in the laboratory department, and I deal with instruments every day, I don't want to go, you transfer it back for me!" Obviously, Bai Lu has a lot of opinions about her father's arbitrary decision.
"This matter has been decided, there is no need to discuss, you will go to the laboratory department to report later. Bai Xueji still didn't raise his head, and his tone was full of majesty.
"It's too much! I'll go to my mom!"
"Your mother and I have the same meaning, it's useless to look for it. ”
"You ...... Hmph!" Bai Lu, who had just gotten up, sat back on the chair when she heard the words.
Since she was a child, she has not suffered this kind of anger, in the eyes of her parents, she doesn't need to have any ideas at all, just obey is enough. Because, her parents will always give her the most "good" arrangement.
And just when Bai Lu almost gave up, he saw that his father rarely put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his head to look at himself, and said:
"It's your grandfather's birthday party in two days, if you behave well this time, maybe I'll consider what you just said......"
After talking for a long time, it turned out that his father was waiting for him here, and Bai Lu suddenly realized.
Speaking of grandpa's birthday banquet, it is definitely the most important celebration of their Bai family, which is even more grand than the New Year's holiday. At that time, not only was the crowd full, but the scene was also lively.
However, only the Bai family knew that after the birthday banquet was over and the guests left the table, the small gathering that was only attended by the descendants of the Bai family was the highlight of the day.
Not only does Old Man Bai attach great importance to it, but the four sons and three daughters under his knees have long regarded it as a crucial competition.
And Bai Xueji's "good performance" refers to that small gathering.
Father was relieved about the choice of department, Bai Lu should have been happy. However, after hearing this condition, she was not happy at all.
Because wanting to "behave well" at that small party means that she is going to fall into another depressed topic.
"Lulu, those five boys, were carefully selected by me and your mother. Have you been in contact with them during this time?"
"No, I don't want to see it. Bai Lu lowered her head and said very unpleasantly.
"What? I've been telling you for more than half a year, and you haven't seen any of them? Why, now that your wings are stiff, you don't even listen to your father?"
As early as half a year ago, Bai Xueji prepared five men's resumes for Bai Lu, but seeing that the birthday banquet was still two days away, Bai Lu had never contacted any of them. This made Bai Xueji angry, and his tone became heavy.
As for the reason, we have to start with Grandpa Bailu's birthday banquet.
As early as more than ten years ago, Old Man Bai suddenly made a rule one day, saying that at the birthday banquet every year in the future, he would personally conduct an evaluation for the younger generations in the clan, so as to spur the younger generations of the Bai family to continue to improve!
At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to this, and they all watched it lively, which was a show performed by children and the old man.
However, as the juniors grew up, one day I don't know who casually mentioned it, saying that the old man's move would be secretly choosing the successor of the Bai family?
As soon as these words came out, they instantly spread throughout the Bai family, and the banquet slowly changed its taste.
The old man's seven children are each showing their magic and secretly competing, not only are the requirements for their children getting higher and higher, but even the boyfriends and girlfriends brought by the children to the banquet are also treated equally.
Because, as long as they attend the banquet, these young male and female companions will be dragged by the old man to assess together, without exception.
Therefore, a small game that Old Man Bai did on a whim at the beginning, after all these years of inheritance, has now evolved into the most important part of the banquet, and is collectively called by the Bai family - banquet test!
