"Both girls are good, and we can't live up to them. One can be the official wife, and the other can be the equal wife. That's not bad." Sun Ci said, stroking his beard.
Bai Banxia glanced at him fiercely, but unfortunately he didn't notice it, and he felt happy that he was very considerate.
"What do you think, Qi Zhen?" She turned to look at Qi Zhen and asked.
Qi Zhen didn't speak for a long time, and looked at her with a heavy gaze, so heavy that Bai Banxia didn't know what was wrong with him.
After a long while, he said, "I'm more concerned about whether they can defeat the mastermind behind it."
"The protagonist will definitely defeat evil, but the process will be more tragic." Bai Banxia said.
Sun Ci stretched his neck and asked: "What kind of cruel method? Just tell me."
She was interrupted by Sun Ci and did not notice anything unusual about Qi Zhen. She continued chatting with Sun Ci without telling him the outcome of the story.
Qi Zhen looked at her with a bright smile, as if she had no grudge, and thought it was probably a coincidence.
If he is like Li Xiaoyao in the story, and had a wife or an engagement before he lost his memory, what will he do in the future?
He understands Banxia's temperament and will not marry everyone as Sun Ci said. This would be unfair to Banxia.
At this moment, he couldn't help but hesitate again, not knowing what to do.
After that, the whole town didn't talk much. Bai Banxia thought it was because there were outsiders in the car, so he didn't like to talk. Plus, he didn't talk much on weekdays, so he didn't think much about it.
In the evening, the carriage drove into a town on the way and found an inn to stay.
Sun Ci got out of the car first, asked the waiter for two rooms, and then paid for the room directly.
"Mr. Sun, we'll pay for the rent." Bai Banxia sat in the back and couldn't stop him when he got off the car.
Sun Ci's eyes widened, "I asked you to come to Xiguan City, how can I ask you to give me money? Do outsiders know how to laugh at me? Okay, okay, you will pay for it yourself when you come here in the future, don't worry about this.
Little things."
Seeing his persistence, Bai Banxia said nothing more and thought of giving him some medicine in return.
The three simply had some dinner at the inn, and this time Bai Banxia rushed to pay. Afterwards, Bai Banxia shared a room, Sun Ci and Qi Zhen shared a room, and the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.
After a speechless night, we continued our journey early the next morning and arrived at Xiguan City at noon.
This is Bai Banxia's first time in a big city after traveling through time. It feels a bit like a costume drama. It's like there are guards at the city gate. There is also an arrest notice not far away and the portrait of the murderer is painted. But Bai Banxia feels that
It's really difficult to distinguish the appearance due to painting skills. I really don't know how the guards identified them.
When you enter the city, you have to get off the carriage, but you don't check any documents, otherwise neither Bai Banxia nor Qizhen will have them. You just have to pay a per capita customs fee of fifty cents per person.
"Good guy, it's really expensive to enter Xiguan City." Bai Banxia couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking about how much the monthly management fee of their stall is, the customs fee for a trip to Xiguancheng is equivalent to the monthly stall management fee of the small town.
The guard took the copper coins and gave each of them a piece of paper. The year and month were written on the paper and stamped with a red seal.
"With this piece of paper, you don't need to pay the toll when entering the city within this month." Sun Ci explained.
Bai Banxia said oh, thinking that it was good that he didn't have to pay every time he entered the city. Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable. It would be acceptable for a person to pay fifty cash a month.
"You can keep it for me. We will go in and out together." Qi Zhen handed his own to her.
Bai Banxia put them away carefully. If he had to leave the city in the next few days, without these two pieces of paper, it would cost him another hundred coins to enter the city again.
"After you have finished paying, leave quickly and don't block the road here." A guard shouted.
Sun Ci hurriedly pulled the two of them back into the carriage, and the carriage slowly moved forward.
"Xiguan City has regulations that no carriages or horses are allowed to run in the city. Otherwise, if you are caught, you will be fined ten taels of silver and hit with twenty big boards." Sun Ci explained.
"This big city has a lot of rules. Can you please tell me what else is there, so that we won't be fined for not knowing the rules." Bai Banxia asked.
Sun Ci thought for a while, "You can't set up stalls everywhere. There are markets for buying and selling. You have to apply for a position with the government and pay a certain stall fee. Of course, there are also people who carry burdens and sell, and they also have to report, pay taxes, and be registered. Doctors can't do it at will.
To practice medicine, you must register in a certain medical center so that you can find the medical center if you have a problem. You are also not allowed to ride horses on the main street, you are not allowed to make loud noises near the government office, you are not allowed to go out after the curfew unless there is an important matter, etc."
While Bai Banxia was listening to him, she opened the curtain to look at the situation on the street. The speed of this carriage was really not as fast as walking normally. She really wanted to get off and walk.
"Can Mr. Sun move? Why don't you go down for a walk?" Qi Zhen saw what she was thinking and took the initiative to speak.
"Okay, your bones will fall apart after sitting for too long. Let's get off the car." Sun Ci asked the coachman to stop, and they got off the carriage one after another.
Xiguan City is indeed a big city. Not only the main roads here are exceptionally wide, they are three times as wide as the widest street in the town.
There are teahouses and restaurants nearby, and it is very lively with people coming and going.
"Don't waste money looking for an inn. Just come and stay in my house temporarily. Don't you want to buy a house anyway? I will introduce you to this person later." Sun Ci added.
Bai Banxia thought for a while and said: "Let's go to Xuanji Hall first. There should be some formalities before the consultation, right? The sooner you do it, the better to start earlier. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and my parents told me to finish it and go back early."
"Let's go like this?" Sun Ci looked her up and down. Her clothes were a little wrinkled and quite shabby.
"What else can we do otherwise? Let's get it done as soon as possible to avoid further delays." Bai Banxia rolled her eyes at him. She didn't know that being a doctor had to pay attention to dressing up?
Seeing her firm and calm attitude, Sun Ci had no choice but to agree, "Okay, okay, I'll take you there now."
Xuanji Hall is located in the southeast of Xiguan City, not far from Dongshi, which is a good location.
From a distance, Bai Banxia saw a medical clinic with a big gourd hanging on it. The door was very grand, and three big characters "Xuanji Hall" were written on the door with dragons and phoenixes flying in the air.
"This medicine gourd is too big." Bai Banxia laughed. It was too big to hang on the waist or carry on the back.
Sun Ci laughed and said, "This is a sign. Make it bigger and more conspicuous."
The boy at the door recognized Sun Ci and greeted him respectfully as soon as he saw him.
"Fifth Elder, what gust of wind brought you here? I haven't seen you for a few days." The boy said enthusiastically.
"I just came back from Anyuan Town. I wrote a letter saying that I would bring a doctor and ask your stewards to come out and handle the procedures for her." Sun Ci clasped his hands behind his back and looked quite serious, rather like an elder.
"Okay, I'll call the third steward right now." After saying that, the boy walked in neatly.
Bai Banxia murmured in his heart that Xuanji Hall's background seemed a bit deep. Sun Ci was the fifth elder, which meant that there were many elders, no less than five.
There are also three stewards to go to for formalities, so it can be seen that there are several stewards.
Soon the boy left and returned, followed by an old man with white beard and hair.
The old man glared at Sun Ci, "What should we do? Do I agree?"
