life in a hurry

Chen Feiqing went to the White Mansion after finishing his work in the Ministry of War. The decree of bestowing a marriage has already come down. For this honor, the whole Bai family rejoiced—although the marriage with the Huangfu family was a certainty, but after all, there was a marriage bestowed by the emperor. The meaning is different again.Although imperial physicians have been important figures in the past dynasties, there are not many who are so favored by the emperor. No matter how you say it, it is a happy event that adds honor to the face.

Bai Qiancao was the only one with an expressionless face, even ignoring the father-in-law who announced the decree, clutching the imperial decree, sitting in the hall and reading it carefully several times.After finally reading every word, he drank a pot of tea on his own, walked out with the imperial decree, and bumped into Chen Feiqing head-on.

Chen Feiqing hurriedly supported his arm, and looked at him in surprise: "Your leg is fine? Didn't you say..."

Bai Qiancao interrupted him and asked, "Is the emperor looking for me to enter the palace?"

Chen Feiqing said: "You're half right, the emperor wanted me to tell you something, but he thought your leg was broken again, so he didn't ask you to enter the palace, and let you rest well."

Bai Qiancao said: "I will enter the palace now."

Behind him, Bai Shen yelled violently: "If you dare to take a step out of the White Mansion, your legs will be broken again!"

Chen Feiqing hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, no, Uncle Shi, Brother Bai and I went to his courtyard to say that it is a secret decree."

Bai Shen looked at him suspiciously.

Chen Feiqing pretended not to see it, dragged Bai Qiancao to the small courtyard, confirmed that there was no one around, and then said in a low voice: "The emperor asked me to tell you that within three months after the palace examination, he will definitely arrange to go south. You accompany him to recuperate."

Bai Qiancao asked: "How does he look today?"

Chen Feiqing sighed, shook his head and said, "It's not very good, but he insisted and refused to admit it."

Bai Qiancao tightened her hand holding the imperial edict again, and said, "I see."

Chen Feiqing was still a little worried: "Maybe I am talking too much, but maybe you can tell me, if there is anything I can help..."

"My father doesn't allow me to leave the house, so I won't send it away."

"Big Brother Bai..."

"I won't commit suicide by taking poison, you don't need to worry."

"...I'm not worried about that."

"Then don't send it."

After finishing speaking, Bai Qiancao ignored him and went straight into the study.

Chen Feiqing stood in the yard for a while, and had no choice but to leave.

Not long after Chen Feiqing left, Bai Shen came again: "What else do you have to say now?"

Compared with the previous few days, Bai Qiancao calmed down and said, "I have nothing to say."

"If you have nothing to say, just stay at home. The imperial decree tells you to get married next month, so you have to get busy now, and you can't wrong the girl." Bai Shen said worriedly, "Remember, you are here You are not allowed to leave the mansion without my permission before getting married, and I will follow you after getting married."

Bai Qiancao stopped talking, sat at the desk and continued to read the yellowed medical books.The table is full of medical books and discarded prescriptions, but it doesn't look messy.

Bai Shen frowned and stood at the window watching for a while, then turned and went to the front hall.

The housekeeper immediately greeted him and asked: "Master, Huangfu's residence has also received the order. Shouldn't we also visit the residence now to discuss the date of marriage and the ceremony?"

Bai Shen was a little hesitant: "He looks like that, how dare I take him out?"

The housekeeper persuaded: "The young master seems to have calmed down. Maybe he has figured it out. Besides, it is an imperial decree. He should not dare to resist the decree. Otherwise, let the madam persuade him again. If you go to propose marriage, the young master will always If you don't show your face, you're afraid that Master Huangfu and his wife will be unhappy, so it's unjustifiable."

That's the truth, don't wait for the in-laws to feel resentful before they get married.

Bai Shen shook his head: "You're right, then you send a post first, saying that we will visit in two days."

The butler is busy getting ready.

The two days passed quickly. In these two days, Bai Qiancao only said one sentence to his mother and father who were nagging: "I understand."

Although Bai Shen was a little worried that he had misunderstood, but seeing that he really kept his own place, he could only reassure himself.

Bai Qiancao sat in the room every day studying medical books, ate less, lost weight, and discarded more prescriptions, but nothing else was unusual.

Two days later, Bai Shen asked him to go with him to Huangfu Mansion, he was obedient, changed into clean and decent clothes, and followed, but sat in the hall of Huangfu Mansion silently, still expressionless.

Master Huangfu and his wife became suspicious, and asked tentatively: "I heard that Chicao felt unwell in the past few months, but it should be fine."

Bai Shen hurriedly winked at his son, and smiled again: "Well, it's not a shameful thing to say, the third son of Pei Xiang's family got a few hard-to-find medical books, and gave them to him. His child hugged and read them all day long. , Look silly. But they are all worried about the emperor's dragon body, so we can't say anything about him."

Of course it wouldn't be because she looked stupid, but Bai Qiancao is close to the Pei family and worried about the dragon's body, so she really has a bright future.Only then did Huangfu and his wife feel relieved: "That's no wonder, doctors are parents."

Bai Qiancao heard them chatting for a while, and while they were all drinking tea, she suddenly asked: "May I take the liberty to ask Miss Huangfu to come out and see you?"

Everyone in the hall was stunned, and Bai Shen shouted: "Ruolite!"

Bai Qiancao stood up, took a long breath, and looked behind the veil in the hall: "Miss is hiding behind there? Please come out and see."

Bai Shen didn't expect that he would be able to do this trick at this time, it was too outrageous and ignorant, his old face was hot, but he couldn't drag him away, so he could only remind him in a low voice: "Think about the imperial decree, Your Majesty!" I personally made the decree, whose face are you hitting?"

But Bai Qiancao didn't seem to hear it, and stared at the back of the gauze steadfastly and seriously.

Huangfu and his wife couldn't sit still anymore, they looked at each other with some embarrassment and questioning.

Finally, a little maid came out from behind the veil, bowed to everyone in the hall, and finally said to Bai Qiancao: "Miss, please speak to Young Master Bai if you have something to say."

Bai Qiancao knelt down towards the side where the maid came out, and said: "I have my own heart, I will never marry, I'm sorry."

After speaking, he knocked his head on the ground.

There was another day when the rankings would be released, and Fu Nansheng was unavoidably a little nervous, but he was not happy about it. He always felt that he was inferior, so he had to give lectures to the students to relieve his mood.

After a day's class, he returned to the backyard, only to see Bai Qiancao sitting expressionlessly at the stone table making medicine, while Chen Feiqing was standing under the tree and looking at Bai Qiancao delicately.

Fu Nansheng naturally called people respectfully: "Brother Bai."

Bai Qiancao looked up at him, nodded her head in return, then lowered her head and continued making medicine.

"I passed by a restaurant and bought a roast duck. I'll wait for you when it's hot. Come get the bowls and chopsticks with me." Chen Feiqing said as he went to the kitchen, "Brother Bai, clean up the table and we'll eat in the courtyard." .”

Fu Nansheng followed to the kitchen, and Chen Feiqing whispered, "Don't tell me he's here."

Fu Nansheng asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

It's nothing, that is, his father wants to beat him to death, and it's useless for anyone to stop him... Chen Feiqing waved his hand: "I'll tell you later, he has a dispute with his family, so he's staying in the academy for now."

Fu Nansheng nodded: "Brother Bai has been kind to you and me. If there is anything I can help, you must say it."

Chen Feiqing said: "Don't worry, I will never be polite to you. But this is his family dispute, he doesn't really want to talk about it, so let's not worry about it for now."

Fu Nansheng thought about it for a while and then thought of it: "Could it be for the gift of marriage? Two days ago, Sun Xiucai and the others were talking about the excitement, saying that the emperor gave the marriage to the only daughter of Brother Bai and Huangfu's servant."

Chen Feiqing nodded: "So this matter is not easy to manage."

Fu Nansheng didn't think about it when he heard what others said. Seeing that things were not that simple, he frowned slightly.

Bai Qiancao usually comes and goes angrily, and his mouth and face are always reluctant, but others ask him to help with any illness, in fact, he can be regarded as warm-hearted, not necessarily It was Zheng Wenqi's arrogant personality.

Because he is considered a celebrity in front of the emperor, the eldest prince had checked his hobbies and habits in private. Except for being invited to see a doctor, he didn't like to go out very much. He only loved to study medicine, not to mention people he liked, even friends. I'm afraid there are not many of them, and it can be regarded as a rare closeness with Chen Feiqing.

Now that Bai Qiancao is arguing with his father about the marriage to the point of running away from home, he must be unwilling to have this marriage, then it is very likely that he has a sweetheart, and the sweetheart is probably someone who is ridiculous in his father's eyes and absolutely unacceptable. people...

Fu Nansheng looked at Chen Feiqing subtly.

Bai Qiancao was particularly irritable when dealing with Chen Feiqing, but this inexplicable anxiety never prevented him from being begged by Chen Feiqing to help this gang.

Chen Feiqing said that when he was young, he once caught grasshoppers and put them on Bai Qiancao, and he has been disliked ever since.

He also said that the medicine prescribed to Chen Feiqing was always extremely bitter.

……

As soon as Chen Feiqing turned around with the hot roast duck in his hand, he saw Fu Nansheng looking thoughtful, and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

Fu Nansheng reached out and pinched Chen Feiqing's face, and said with emotion: "I was thinking, beauty deceives people."

"..." Chen Feiqing was silent for a while, and said cautiously, "Although I don't know what you are talking about, I always feel that you have misunderstood something."

Fu Nansheng asked: "Don't you think that Brother Bai doesn't want to get married, and he doesn't want to tell who that person is..."

Chen Feiqing guessed that he might have the same idea as her, so she waved her hand: "If he doesn't want to say it, we don't have to guess."

Bai Qiancao didn't have much appetite, so she ate in a perfunctory manner, purely to entertain her master, and sat aside to make medicine after eating.

Fu Nansheng didn't intend to disturb his cleanliness at first, and he wanted to go into the house after eating, but he stopped him: "Come here."

Fu Nansheng walked over, sat in front of him, and stretched out his hand to check his pulse knowingly.

After Bai Qiancao had his pulse checked, he looked at Fu Nansheng's face, eyes, tongue, and even stroked his hair.

When it was over, he asked, "What discomfort have you experienced in the past two days?"

Fu Nansheng said: "No discomfort."

Bai Qiancao frowned: "Not at all?"

Fu Nansheng said: "There is one thing. It may be because of the medicine, so the virtual fire is a little strong, but it is not a hindrance."

Bai Qiancao stared at him in silence for a long time, and the yard became a little stagnant. Chen Feiqing couldn't help but walked behind Fu Nansheng, put his hand on Fu Nansheng's shoulder, and asked, "Brother Bai, you have something to say, but it's okay to say it. "

Bai Qiancao glanced at Chen Feiqing, then looked back at Fu Nansheng, and said indifferently: "I just lost my mind. He is fine, take the medicine as usual, don't use force, take it easy, and don't take it again within a year."

After speaking, he got up, packed his things, and went to the guest room to rest.

Fu Nansheng turned around and smiled: "I was shocked."

Chen Feiqing patted him on the shoulder, smiled, but found Bai Qiancao after he went out on something: "Brother Bai, is he afraid that I will worry, so please keep it from me?"

Bai Qiancao frowned and said: "He's really fine for the time being, take the medicine I prescribed, don't use force, take care of yourself slowly, don't mess around again within a year, and won't die. But he doesn't think so, he has to be smart and think he is If you want to die, this is your business, not mine."
