imperial psychologist

Chapter 19 I have a hard-to-read scripture at home (recommended plus more)
Bai Shijun quickly bowed, "If it's really a wonderful recipe, when I go back, I'll ask my daughter about the recipe exactly, and I'll bring it to the master tomorrow for review, and I won't dare to keep anything private."

Qin Kang nodded, "Then...it's really the best——"

But as soon as Qin Kang finished speaking, he heard a person behind him answer in a cold tone, "The old court envoy, this is inappropriate."

The old man turned around and saw that it was Bai Yi who had been helping him all the time. He stroked his beard slightly and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yi said in a clear voice, "You should not ask my father what you just said, but my sister herself!"

"Bo Yi!" Bai Shijun was anxious and afraid, only worried that Bai Yi's youthful temper would cause trouble to his upper body, and he said in a low voice, "Don't talk to the envoy of Qin like this!"

In front of everyone, Bai Yi saluted Bai Shijun respectfully, but continued to answer without any concession, "You should have heard it just now, this recipe is my sister's chance, not my father's. Whether I can talk to someone because of the opportunity, my father has no right to say yes for my sister."

Wang Jixuan said with a sneer, "One or two are still clutching a folk prescription that I don't know where they came from as a treasure. It is your blessing that the old hospital envoy has taken a fancy to your prescription! Don't be ignorant!" Wang Ji said Xuan turned his head back again, calmed down, and said to Qin Kang helplessly, "Master, the imperial concubine has recovered, it's all about the fact that the imperial concubine has recovered, don't be fooled by a yellow-haired girl!"

Qin Kang didn't argue, waved his hands, and said to Bai Yi with a smile, "Brother Bai, I'll ask the old man what Miss Bai Ling means."

Bai Yi raised his hands in front of him, and said seriously, "Yes, Bai Yi will definitely bring the words."

The crowd dispersed just like that, and Bai Shijun and Bai Yi were still waiting outside, and they were really relieved when Bao Yuan came out with Bai Ling.

After leaving Chengqian Palace, the family lowered their heads and walked quickly and silently towards the palace gate.

No matter what happens tomorrow, in short, today's hurdle seems to be over.

Bai Yi walked in front with Bo Ling on his back, and Bai Shijun followed closely behind.Out of the palace gate, Bai Yi's footsteps became faster and faster, and Bai Shijun could barely keep up, panting after chasing after him, "Bo Yi, Bai Yi...wait for dad."

Bai Yi turned around, "It's not that you don't know the way back, you go your way, we go our way."

"Don't be like this..." Bai Ling couldn't help but tightened his grip on Bai Yi's shoulders. Before he could continue, he heard Bai Shijun admit his mistake behind him, "It's my father's fault——"

"Father," Bo Ling turned his head helplessly, "this is not a place to talk, let's all go back and talk about it."

Although their yard was not far from the imperial city, when they actually returned home, it was already half dark.

After a day of fear and fear, everyone was somewhat exhausted, thirsty and hungry.

As soon as Bai Yi entered the house, he put down Bai Ling and went to the kitchen. After Bai Ling sat for a long time, he heard Bai Yi calling her from the kitchen, "Hey, Bai Ling!"

She walked over quickly in three steps at a time, poked her head, and asked in the kitchen, "What's wrong?"

The kitchen was dark, and Bai Yi could barely be seen squatting in front of the stove, looking here and there.

Bai Yi didn't raise his head, "Help me get a lamp from the house, it's so dark here, I can't see anything clearly."

"Okay," Bo Ling was about to turn around and go back to the house, but he was taken aback for a moment before he remembered, "Ah...the lamp oil at home ran out last night."

Last night, Bai Shijun stayed up all night, even burning the last bit of lamp oil.

The sound of looking for things in the kitchen stopped, and Bai Yi stood up, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm, "Then tell me, where do you keep the rice at home? No matter how I look at it, the rice tank is empty." .”

Bai Ling was stunned again, and suddenly, as if remembering something, he sighed again.

Looking at Bai Ling's expression, Bai Yi said with a dark face, "...don't tell me, the rice is all gone."

Bo Ling supported his forehead, "That's right...the meal at noon was the last three or two meters. Today, such a big event happened in the palace...I completely forgot about going to buy rice."

Bai Yi casually put down the rolled up sleeves on his arms, squatted down on the spot, covered his face and let out a sigh.

Bo Ling leaned against the door, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll go to Mrs. Zhong's house next door to borrow some rice, and I won't run out of cooking."

Just when he was about to turn around, Bo Ling saw Bo Shijun standing behind him at some point, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "...No more rice?"

Bo Ling nodded, "Well, yes."

"Don't ask Mrs. Zhong to borrow it. There are Jinyiwei guards in the alleys outside. It will be embarrassing for them to communicate with the neighbors at this time." Bai Shijun said, reaching for the purse in his waist, and squeezed it carefully. After pinching, only a few copper plates were found.

Bai Shijun's face was a bit ugly, he took out all the copper coins and counted them, and then looked at Bai Ling with some embarrassment, "Uh, dad remembers, at the end of last year, the Imperial Hospital should have given a special reward for routine silver... ..."

Bai Ling frowned slightly, but still said in a gentle voice, "Father, all the silver rewards at the end of last year have been used up."

Bai Shijun was startled, "Have you used up all of them?"

Bai Yi in the kitchen said coldly, "It's already the fifth day of March, and you're still counting on last year's reward money. Your money is really wasted."

"No," Bai Shijun quickly argued, "That's two taels of silver, an ordinary family of three, enough for a year's expenses, how come..."

Bo Ling counted with his fingers, "Think about it again. At the beginning of January, you said you couldn't fit the books in the study room, so you went to Lin's Village to ask Uncle Lin to build a bookcase. In order to prevent insects, you even used oak ; As a result, at the end of the month, Penglai Academy added a new batch of ancient books of "Shanghan Xiaozhu". Yuan Mingmo—”

Bai Shijun couldn't listen anymore, and asked tremblingly, "Just... just spent it all?"

Bo Ling nodded, "Yes, what about your salary last month? You should have given it to me a few days ago. I saw that you have worked hard these days, so I didn't remind you."

Bai Yi looked at Bai Shijun, "Where's the money?"

"I..." Bai Shijun was speechless for a moment. He looked at his daughter and then at his son, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to... buy medicine."

Bo Ling also opened his eyes wide, "Did you use the whole month's salary to buy medicine?"

"It's not all..." Bai Shijun's face flushed red, "I also bought some meat, vegetables, and eggs..."

The more Bai Ling listened, the more confused he became, "Then where are all these meat, egg and vegetables?"

Bai Shijun was embarrassed to see his daughter, so he looked at the tip of his shoe, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito moaning, "Then...in Linjiazhuang, there was an old lady who came to see a doctor in our yard last year. I'll go The first time I went to see you, Uncle Lin, to open the bookcase, I stopped by the old man's house to have a look. Their family is too poor, and besides her, there is only one girl who is about your age... medicine can't afford it, so I, I At once……"

Bo Ling took a deep breath, and asked tentatively, "You gave all your February salary to others?"
