Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

"clever."

Bai Chen said these two words subconsciously.

After he finished speaking, he immediately thought it was bad, this is not the office where he discussed the case with the little brothers in his previous life, but the ancient Kang Wang Mansion.

Sometimes long-established habits are always revealed inadvertently, and it is hard to guard against them.

Using the tone of a big brother to praise a prince who is older than his body and smarter than him is not in line with his personality, and it will make Xiao Lin unhappy.

More importantly, it may arouse suspicion, and he really shouldn't be so careless.

Sure enough, Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that I'm stupid in your heart?"

"No, just sigh." Bai Chen nonsense with a calm face, "After all, not everyone can think of the connection here, please don't take offense if there is any offense."

The expression is calm and self-possessed, without guilt.

Xiao Lin glanced at him, and didn't bother with these two words any more.

He said, "Actually, I also guessed that she didn't commit suicide."

Bai Chen believed that he was not an afterthought, but he was very interested in how he came to this conclusion, "You didn't examine the body, how did you guess it?"

Xiao Lin said: "My mother is not in good health, and she always goes to bed early. Although she doesn't have to sleep in the mother's outhouse to wait on her, she can't leave the bamboo building. She was wearing a new dress when she was going to sleep with the lights off. Isn't it strange to wear a beaded hairpin?"

The corpse's clothes were messed up by water and mud, and he couldn't see the original appearance. He could still see that they were new clothes, and his observation skills were really good.

Bai Chen nodded slightly, "It's a little strange to say that."

"The beaded flower hairpin on her head was given to her by her mother. It is polished from the best East China Sea pearls. I have never seen her wear it. It is obvious that she sneaked into the courtyard dressed up after her mother fell asleep. Come." Xiao Lin snorted coldly, "Would a person dressed like this go to the lotus pond to commit suicide? I don't think so."

"Indeed, compared to committing suicide, it's more like dressing up brightly and going out to meet someone..." Now that the two of them are in the same boat, Bai Chen didn't intend to go around and asked directly: "Mr. Xiao, are you looking for someone?" Did Nuan Chun ask or investigate her?"

Xiao Lin: "I haven't looked for her."

That is to investigate her.

This way of thinking is also correct, if you rush to ask Nuan Chun for questions, if you can't ask anything and don't say anything, you will definitely startle the snake.

Unexpectedly, he was still noticed by the other party.

Bai Chen said: "Someone can't help but kill and silence, then it proves that your investigation is in the right direction."

These words made Xiao Lin's complexion a little better, obviously it coincided with his thoughts.

"By the way, has your knee swelled?" Bai Chen changed the topic. He could only talk about the last topic as an outsider. I believe Xiao Lin will have his own plans, and this is not something he should worry about. .

"The poisonous blood was released yesterday, and I slept more peacefully than before." Xiao Lin said, "When I woke up this morning, the swelling in my knees has subsided."

"That's good. It proves that this acupuncture method is effective for you. Stick to it and combine it with other treatments and walking exercises," Bai Chen said with a smile, "I believe your leg injury will heal."

"In that case, I will thank Mr. Bai first." Xiao Lin cupped his fists, even though he still had no expression, he could hear the seriousness in his tone.

... Bingshan suddenly sincerely thanked him, which felt unreal.

"You're welcome, I also need your help, Young Master Xiao." Bai Chen replied, "I'll leave the internal recruitment to you."

"The internal recruitment is divided into two major fields: literature and martial arts. You know this?" Xiao Lin asked suddenly.

Bai Chen nodded, vaguely said: "I was stubborn before, I never thought about this matter, I only know a little bit."

"The internal examination is much simpler than the formal imperial examination. The examinees are rich and powerful, and many of them are unlearned and incompetent dudes." Xiao Lin said it quite bluntly, even if he was also a powerful and powerful himself. There is no shortage of candidates recruited for the exam, and they can be entrusted with important tasks; but later, those candidates became more and more ineffective, and gradually, they could only take up some insignificant positions."

Bai Chen understood, Xiao Lin was giving him a vaccination - even if he went in, he might arrange a idle job with no real power to dawdle, and he decided whether to go or not.

"I see." Bai Chen understood, with a calm smile on his face again, "But I think any position has its meaning, and it is an indispensable part of the country. A real man, those who silently handle documents and files in the court may not necessarily be passionate men. It's just that the division of labor is different, and there is no distinction between high and low."

These remarks are not Bai Chen's high-profile, but his real thoughts.

He was a field worker in his previous life, but he never looked down on the internal staff in the office. When they were busy, they couldn't go home for days and nights, which was no easier than them.

Now that he is here, even if he is asked to manage files or do odd jobs, he will definitely work seriously and will never be sloppy.

These words made Xiao Lin a little surprised, and also made Lin Feiyun, who had been standing at the door with his back to them, look back.

Such awareness at such a young age makes it hard to understand why he had such a reputation before.

"As long as you can figure it out." Xiao Lin said, "Do you prefer civil servants or military officials?"

This can be regarded as stopping Bai Chen from asking.

If he had the same body as in his previous life, he would definitely choose to join the military without hesitation, serve the country all his life as a soldier.But now this body, every three to five years will definitely not be effective, he can't wait for such a long time.

When it comes to selecting texts, his basic knowledge is too weak—not to mention serious imperial examination candidates, he even worried that he would not be able to compete with those ignorant dudes Xiao Lin talked about.

The dilemma made him a little dazed, and it was difficult to decide for a while.

He held back for a while, and uttered a few words: "What do you think?"

Xiao Lin: ...

Lin Feiyun was very frank: "I don't think my little lady is suitable for martial arts. I still say that, your physical condition and bones are not very good. Even if you pass the exam, you will most likely be a fake in the palace guard of honor."

Bai Chen: ...

Sometimes you don't have to be so straightforward!

Xiao Lin: "Fei Yun is right."

...and another cut.

These two masters and servants are simply heart-wrenching masters.

"Then let's be a civil servant." After thinking about it, the road of martial arts is indeed not suitable for him, so he can only choose essays.

"From the text, in theory, there are opportunities to enter the Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Households, but generally more people enter the Ministry of Rites in the end, and a very small part will enter the other departments."

Bai Chen's acupuncture can be regarded as saving Xiao Lin's life, Xiao Lin also changed his attitude towards Bai Chen, became more patient, and continued to vaccinate him.

"...Understood." Ganqing is highly technical, highly professional, and basically not able to enter with high gold content.

"About the exam, can I ask you for advice?" Xiao Lin knew so much about the exam, and Bai Chen was naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity. The more preparation, the more hope.

"We'll discuss it in detail when you come over to give me acupuncture at night." Xiao Lin said, "It's getting late, so I won't delay you."

Bai Chen got up to see off the guests: "Young Master Xiao, go slowly."

After Xiao Lin's figure disappeared into the rockery, the corners of Bai Chen's mouth couldn't stop rising.

——With the help of this iceberg, maybe he really has hope.

He reaffirmed that it was the right choice to cooperate with him.

……

Lin Feiyun had something to do with Xiao Lin today, and he couldn't instruct Bai Chen to exercise, so Bai Chen practiced by himself.

He is already familiar with the daily procedures, even if the master is not there, it doesn't matter, just practice step by step.

Unexpectedly, he had just finished the half-hour horse stance when he saw Lin Feiyun hurried over again.

"Guard Lin, don't you want to accompany Mr. Xiao on business?" Seeing Lin Feiyun's serious expression, Bai Chen thought it might be a serious matter, so he used the formal address instead of calling him master.

Lin Feiyun said: "Little madam, the lord just came back from court and said he would call everyone to discuss the Queen Mother's birthday. The young master is changing clothes, so he sent me to inform you that you and he can go to the side hall to meet the lord."

"Okay, I'm going to change clothes too." Bai Chen walked upstairs quickly, "Come down immediately, please wait for a while, Mr. Xiao."

He was a little puzzled, the Empress Dowager's birthday is the fifth day of next month, less than ten days away.If it's a birthday gift, I've heard people say that it has been prepared long ago.

What else needs to be discussed?

Bai Chen hurriedly changed his clothes, washed his face, and arranged his hair. After telling Binger, he hurried downstairs.

Xiao Lin was already waiting downstairs.

Instead of wearing the iconic black robe inlaid with gold silk, he changed into an aqua-colored robe, with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with silver thread on the collar and cuffs, and a silver crown inlaid with jade on his head, which was a bit less fierce than usual. There is a little more warmth and indifference.

If it weren't for that iceberg face, he would really be regarded as "Moshang is like jade, and his son is unparalleled in the world".

"Let's go." Seeing him coming down, Xiao Lin said two words expressionlessly.

... Sure enough, the iceberg is still that iceberg, and the warmth and so on are all illusions.
