Mr. Zhou smiled like an old fox, "It's obvious at first glance that your medical skills are inferior to those of ordinary men."
"Uh, not really, it's just that I used to be fat and couldn't get married." Bai Banxia laughed self-deprecatingly.
"That's because they are blind and don't understand appreciation." Mr. Zhou's voice became louder.
Bai Banxia glared at me, "I told you to be calm. Look, you just said a few words and you got angry."
"You're right, you're right." He chuckled, his voice softened again, and he took out a jade pendant from the box next to him and handed it to Bai Banxia, "Girl, thank you for saving my old bones.
, this is a thank you gift."
Bai Banxia didn't dare to accept it. The old man just asked her if she had a wife. He would give her a jade pendant. Didn't he want to marry her?
"I've already received the medical fee, so there's no reason to charge me any more. Besides, we country people can't wear expensive things. It would be a pity if they get damaged due to bumps and bumps," she said.
Mr. Zhou threw it directly to her, "The elders have given it to you. If you want to play with it, just take it. If you don't want to play with it, just sell it."
He was quite cheerful, but Bai Banxia saw that he was getting impatient again, so he had no choice but to put it into his sleeves.
When she received it, she took a look and saw that it was a piece of white jade Ruyi, with a simple and elegant style and high quality. It might be sold for dozens of taels of silver.
"Thank you very much, old man." Bai Banxia said.
The more Mr. Zhou looked at her, the more satisfied he became, and his smile was particularly cordial. She gave him a few more instructions before saying goodbye and leaving.
When I returned to the front hall, I didn't expect Zhou Hai to be there. He was just wearing an official uniform. It seemed that he would have to go back to the Yamen for work later.
Zhou Hai pulled Qi Zhen and didn't know what he said. Qi Zhen said calmly: "I'm too busy."
This attitude is really disrespectful to the county magistrate. Bai Banxia feels that she should take back her previous words that Qi Zhen understands the ways of the world.
Zhou Hai saw her and said hello with a smile, "Miss Bai, how is my father's health?"
"The old man is recovering very well, and he is very cooperative with the treatment. I will prescribe a new prescription and write a dietary prescription for you. Keep eating." After Bai Banxia finished speaking, he asked for a pen and paper and went to write the prescription.
Already.
Zhou Hai didn't want to disturb her, so he looked at Qi Zhen and asked: "Brother Qi, really don't you think about it? It's a good thing for your family and Miss Bai."
"Master Zhou, to be honest, I was seriously injured on this side. I was blind before. The condition is good and bad. Thanks to Banxia who has been treating me from the side, I can do farm work in this situation. If I run errands, I am afraid it will delay the business." Qi
Zhen said.
Bai Banxia listened carefully while writing the prescription. It turned out that Zhou Hai wanted to recruit Qi Zhen.
It's not surprising that Qi Zhen caught the thief before and showed his keen reconnaissance power and good skills. The county magistrate saw it and naturally wanted to recruit him.
What's more, the official Liu Zheng was seriously injured. The official who had his thigh chopped off by Wang Erhu couldn't recover for half a year. There happened to be a vacancy for the official.
"What do you think, Miss Bai? Can Brother Qi come to the county government as an official in this situation?" Zhou Hai looked at Bai Banxia and asked.
Bai Banxia stopped writing and looked up, and said: "The job of an official is quite important, and there are certain risks. Qi Zhen's eyesight is sometimes good and bad, so it is really not suitable for him. You should choose another expert."
Zhou Hai felt regretful, "How long will it take for it to be cured?"
"He has congestion in his head, which affects his vision. The congestion in his head doesn't go away easily, so I can't say for sure." Bai Banxia replied.
Zhou Hai sighed, "It has been a troubled time recently. I thought that with Brother Qi, the county government would be even more powerful. It seems that there is no fate. Brother Qi will definitely come to me when he recovers from his illness."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir." Qi Zhen cupped his fists and thanked him.
Zhou Hai originally wanted to keep them for dinner, but Bai Banxia said it was going to rain and he had to go home early, so Zhou Hai couldn't persuade them to stay.
When he was running errands in the afternoon, it suddenly started to rain lightly. Zhou Hai thought of Bai Banxia's words and muttered: "Miss Bai, you know how to read the sky."
When Li Jinniu heard this, he immediately cheered up and walked over to ask, "Have you seen Miss Pinellia Pinellia today?"
Zhou Hai laughed and immediately saw what he was thinking, "If you tell me earlier, I will take you back to see her at noon."
Li Jinniu blushed and said, "Forget it, there are so many things going on lately, how can I think about anything else."
After mentioning so many things, Zhou Hai's face became more solemn, "Zhang Tie, please post a notice to recruit officials."
"Then Qi Zhen won't come?" Zhang Tie was a little surprised.
"It's said that my eyes are in and out, so it's inconvenient to do errands." Zhou Hai sighed, "You must find out the details when choosing a person. He must be safe and reliable."
"yes!"
Soon the county government posted a notice to recruit officials. The news instantly spread in the town and spread to the surrounding villages and towns. Many young people were eager to find a job where they could earn royal food.
As for the Bai family, Bai Banxia happily carried the hot pot and prepared to go to Maple Village to eat hot pot with the whole family.
"I thought the rain would stop at night, but it would really rain tomorrow and I wouldn't be able to go out to the stall?" Bai Tian asked hesitantly.
"Dad, you still don't believe me? Even if it doesn't rain anymore, just take a day's rest. The road is muddy and difficult to walk on, why don't you take a break? I miss my grandma and grandpa," Bai Banxia said.
Once Bai Tian said this, he didn't dare to say anything more. How could he stop his daughter from seeing grandma and grandpa?
The family packed up their things and greeted the old man, but the old lady said with an unhappy face: "I went to my daughter-in-law's house again just a few days ago. You can be my son-in-law."
Bai Tian was not angry, and said with a smile: "How can I not, how can I not let go of my mother and father?"
The old lady had a smile on her face and said, "You are the only one who can talk a lot."
Bai Banxia secretly gave her father a thumbs up, then took two cents and gave it to the old lady, "Grandma, I'm buying you some candy."
"Humph, you want to bribe me every day." The old lady accepted the money and stopped nagging. She clearly knew that she was bribed, but she just kept doing it.
When Bai Banxia and the others left the courtyard, they saw the second wife chatting with the third daughter-in-law of the Sun family next door. The third daughter-in-law of the Sun family was eating melon seeds while talking, and the melon seed peels were thrown all over the floor, and they were all thrown at the door of Bai's house.
"Hey, where are you going to take so many things? Are you moving?" the third daughter-in-law of the Sun family asked angrily.
Bai Banxia pretended not to hear, she didn't have time to entertain a hermaphrodite.
"Go back to my parents' house." No one answered, so Zhang Lingzhi had no choice but to reply.
"You really have your eyes set above your head. If you have something, you won't look down on our fellow villagers." Sun's third daughter-in-law continued to get angry.
Zhang Lingzhi was furious. Her hands had been itchy for several days. She didn't want her daughter to pull her hand, "Mom, don't waste time, or you won't be able to have hot pot for dinner."
When it comes to eating, Zhang Lingzhi's anger goes out again. Forget it, I'll deal with her next time when she's done eating.
Bai Banxia took her mother towards the entrance of the village. When she was far away, she looked back and saw Mrs. Xu wiping her tears pitifully. She didn't know what to say to Sun San's daughter-in-law, and Sun San's daughter-in-law spat hard.
