"Eat more, you've lost weight." Qi Zhen's voice was still cold, but the whole family was looking at him. Isn't this preference too obvious?
Bai Banxia didn't notice anyone's weirdness at all. She was focused on eating. She happily dipped the sauce into her mouth and said, "Thank you!"
The third cousin next to me swallowed her saliva in disgrace, and said aggrievedly: "Cousin Qi is so partial to my cousin that he didn't even give me any meat."
Qi Zhen glanced at him and said, "I'm not your cousin."
"I, I..." Zhang Tonglin was choked and couldn't speak, but his mother hit him again with chopsticks.
"You still want to rob your cousin? Are you brave and want to fight again?" Niu shouted.
Zhang Tonglin shrank his neck and said, "No, no, I think tofu is also delicious."
Bai Banxia picked up another piece of mushroom and said, "When the weather gets colder, we can make frozen tofu, which is better for hot pot."
"This grandma will, it will be frozen and waiting for you to eat." Mrs. Zhang said with a loving face.
"okay!"
Everyone chatted for a while, and then asked Zhang Tonglin about his experiences in the Yamen. Zhang Tonglin finally had a chance to express himself. He talked so happily that he almost spit.
"Do you know? An official document has been issued from above. The new emperor will grant Enke and grant amnesty to the world after he ascends the throne." Zhang Tonglin said.
Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen looked at each other. She heard about Enke and asked Erlang to start preparations, but Amnesty Tianxia didn't expect it.
Zhang Tonglin lowered his voice a bit, with a sense of mystery, "I heard that the new emperor's ascension to the throne is not very honorable. Kai Enke just selected people for himself and appointed new officials. The purpose of amnesty is to show his kindness and avoid being punished.
How do you seize the throne when people criticize you?"
"Stop talking now. If others hear it, it won't affect your work, right?" Old Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stopped her.
Zhang Tonglin chuckled, "It's okay, they said so in private."
"My third cousin, I heard about it from my colleagues." Bai Banxia said how could he have thought so deeply? Sure enough, he heard it from others.
Zhang Tonglin scratched his head, "How do I understand this? I just came back and talked to you quietly after hearing it. Don't say it when I go out."
Everyone nodded, sure they wouldn't talk nonsense when they go out.
Bai Banxia was a little worried. This amnesty was not necessarily a good thing. On the surface, it seemed to show the kindness of the new king, but in fact, many evil people would be released.
Just like Kong Chao, whom they caught when they rescued Xiaocao. If such a person is released, he will definitely return to his old career, and who knows how many little girls will be harmed.
"Ban Xia, how did you determine whether what people outside said was true or false before? Are you afraid that it is false news, so why did your brother Erlang go to school in vain?" My uncle asked curiously.
"That day, there was also a rich girl as a host, so I went to the most expensive restaurant in the town and heard two businessmen talking about it. One of them looked plain in his clothes, but the material was very special, and the style was unprecedented in the town.
I’ve seen it before, I think it’s popular in Beijing, in the north.”
Bai Banxia continued: "The man's accent also included Mandarin, and his tone was very firm. I think these things have already spread in Beijing, but it took a little longer to get to us. What's more, even if the news is wrong, Brother Erlang has more time.
It’s not a bad thing after all.”
My uncle couldn't help but nod his head, "Ban Xia, if you were a man, you should take the exam for meritorious service."
"I heard that there are also female officials in Beijing. Maybe I can be a female official in the future? What's the pity if I'm not a man?" Bai Banxia smiled confidently.
"Yes, it's my uncle who is being narrow-minded. We, Banxia, are not inferior to men!" The uncle praised happily.
After the meal, Bai Banxia went to talk to her aunt about the headache. They didn't return to Baoshan Village until it got late.
At home, Baishan, Li, and Dalang were still busy, helping them prepare ingredients for tomorrow's business. Bai Banxia and the others hurried over and took over.
"Uncle, thank you for your hard work." Bai Banxia said sincerely.
Every day when the aunt is free, everyone will take the initiative to help them, which really saves them a lot of effort.
"Yes, it's hard work for you to help your brother Erlang." Mrs. Li lowered her voice as she spoke, "Your second uncle went back to her parents' house in the evening, and your second uncle also ran out. I don't know what happened."
"Where is Sanlang?" Bai Banxia asked.
"He didn't leave with your second uncle, he seems to be going to the defense team for training at the moment." Ms. Li said.
Bai Banxia nodded, "I'll go take a look."
Qi Zhen went to Houshankou as soon as he returned to the village. By the time Bai Banxia passed by, he had already started his devilish training.
"Coach Qi, why didn't you stay at Grandma Banxia's house for one night or come back later?" Shi Fei was beaten to the ground and said while wailing.
Qi Zhen grinned and said, "Don't worry about you."
"No! Don't worry about Banxia. Don't waste your thoughts on us!" Shi Fei screamed.
Pfft... Bai Banxia couldn't help laughing in the distance. It was over. She felt that Qi Zhen had changed and become bad!
But she swore that it really had nothing to do with her, she didn't teach him, it must be his nature.
She looked around and found that Saburo was also training, but he still couldn't keep up and looked particularly embarrassed.
Bai Banxia walked over and handed him the water bag, "Take a rest."
"I don't know anything, and I won't tell you if you ask me." Saburo lowered his head and said.
"Oh." Bai Banxia turned around and left.
Sanlang froze on the spot and left like that? No more questions?
Bai Banxia rolled her eyes, thinking that she wanted to know so much. She liked to talk, but she didn't talk, and she didn't want to talk about it. She didn't want to care about the troubles of the Bai Shui family.
On the other side of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Hai and Zhang Tie were discussing official matters.
"This amnesty is also troublesome. It is likely that many more cases will be added." Zhang Tie sighed and said.
"You should be more careful when running errands. I don't want to see Liu Zheng's situation again. If we don't have enough manpower, recruit another one." Zhou Hai said with some emotion.
Zhang Tie hummed, and suddenly he thought of the boy in Baoshan Village who captured Li Zhi, "The man from Baoshan Village seems to have good skills."
"I heard that there was a wolf attack in the mountains behind them, so the village chief organized a defense team and invited Qi Zhen to be their instructor. They even killed a wolf a while ago." Zhou Hai said with a smile. He admired Qi Zhen.
There are plus.
Zhang Tie's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sir, can we also ask Qi Zhen to be a coach? Since he doesn't want to be an official, but if he comes as a coach regularly and gets monthly money, he shouldn't refuse, right?"
Zhou Hai's eyes also lit up, "Yes, I also discovered that he doesn't want to take up too much time as an official, but as a coach, you can arrange the time according to his requirements, and he probably won't refuse."
"This matter can definitely be done if you tell Ban Xia." Zhang Tie smiled rarely, "Those few should also practice. Otherwise, the official officers are not as powerful as the homeland defense team. Are you afraid of being laughed at if you tell them?"
