Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

After Xiaohua screamed wildly a few times, she finally stopped talking.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

For the first time, Bai Chen realized what it means to be messy without wind.

Letting Xiaohua talk is just a joke. There are many varieties of parrots, but most of them can't learn tongues.

However, Xiao Hua is really an anomaly, he simply suspects that this child has become a genius.

That’s all for learning the tongue—always start with greetings such as “Hello”, what does it mean to call mom and dad without saying anything...

Who is the "mother"!

Anyway, he didn't recognize it.

Xiao Lin's expression also visibly twitched, his usual cold face was uncontrollably a little embarrassed.

Bai Chen was about to say something casually to get over this embarrassment when he heard a knock on the study door.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, no matter who it was, it came at the right time.

"Come in." Xiao Lin's expression quickly returned to normal.

The door was pushed open, and it was Lin Feiyun who came in.

Unlike usual, he was wearing night clothes.

"Young master." Lin Feiyun cupped his fists and saluted.

Xiao Lin asked: "Have you gained anything?"

"Yes."

Xiao Lin nodded slightly, "We'll talk about it after I finish healing."

"Yes." Lin Feiyun stepped back to stand by the door.

The conversation between the master and the servant was like playing charades, and Bai Chen was not interested, so he picked up the silver needle and prepared to start acupuncture treatment.

Lin Feiyun was a little surprised, "This subordinate thought he had been treated for a while."

Xiao Lin glanced at Xiao Hua in the cage, and gave it a warning look, "I was delayed by Xiao Hua for a while."

Xiaohua is the best at observing words and expressions, knowing that the master is a little annoyed, so she no longer imitates the tongue, and squats obediently to watch the excitement.

"Then I'll start." Bai Chen said, "Maybe there will be a little bit of pain."

Xiao Lin: "Let's begin."

Bai Chen didn't speak any more, just held his breath, holding the top of the silver needle and slowly piercing the tip of the needle into the Heding acupoint.

After the injection, Xiao Lin's leg suddenly moved reflexively.

"It's not bad." Bai Chen said, "It's better than expected. I'll continue with acupuncture."

Xiao Lin was a little surprised, his legs had been numb for a long time, and he could still move by himself today.

He stared at Bai Chen's hand intently, and saw that Bai Chen slowly pierced the silver needles into both knees, and then adjusted the silver needles to stimulate the acupuncture points with movements such as lifting and twisting.

"Does it hurt? Or do you have other feelings?" Bai Chen raised his head, his delicate eyebrows were slightly raised under the light, and his clear eyes were full of seriousness.

Xiao Lin said: "Slightly hot and stinging."

"This is normal." Bai Chen frowned, lowered his head and smiled unconsciously, "Your pain will be relieved with each acupuncture treatment, until it is completely painless."

"How long will this cycle take?" Apparently Xiao Lin is very eager to recover.

Bai Chen thought for a while, and gave the answer: "In about three months, you should be able to go down to the ground and try to practice walking."

After hearing this, the cold air that had gathered on Xiao Lin's face for a long time seemed to dissipate in an instant.

Like the first dawn after snow, the sky and the earth are clear.Just wait for the snow to melt and spring to bloom.

No wonder Xiao Mo said that his brother was just taciturn before, but he became so unfriendly after being injured.

Falling from a horse and making him disabled, losing his position as a son, and marrying someone else with his beloved, triple blows hit one after another, Xiao Lin can still be so stable, he is no longer an ordinary person.

"Okay, this treatment is over."

Bai Chen pulled out the silver needle, stood up again, put the silver needle on a candle to burn it to sterilize it, and then carefully put it into the brocade box.

After all the procedures were completed, he returned the brocade box to Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin took the brocade box and put it on the table.

"Thank you," he said. "Please sit down."

"...you're welcome." It's rare to hear this iceberg say these two words, and I'm not used to hearing them suddenly.

Bai Chen sat down and was about to inquire about the internal recruitment, when Xiao Lin ordered Lin Feiyun: "Feiyun, bring those two books on the desk."

Lin Feiyun walked over and took the two blue leather-bound books from the desk.

One is relatively new, and the other is a bit old.

"Young master." He presented the book.

"One of these two books is the examination scope and reference book titles for the internal recruitment of the Ministry of Officials." Xiao Lin immediately picked up the older one below, "This is the exam preparation notes I made before."

Bai Chen was a little surprised that this person actually took out the notes he had made during the exam.

After taking the notebook, he casually flipped through a few pages, on which were densely written knowledge points and his own views and experiences.

Everyone knows that things like notes are written down one stroke at a time with his own painstaking efforts, and they are generally reluctant to take them out, let alone give them to someone who is irrelevant.

He admitted that he might have underestimated Xiao Lin's character before.

Even if it is a cooperative relationship, it also upholds a serious and responsible attitude that is never perfunctory.

This point is worthy of praise.

"Thank you." Bai Chen closed his notebook and said seriously: "I will definitely study hard and try to pass the exam."

"As long as it's not an illiterate embroidered pillow, generally those who take the exam will be admitted." Xiao Lin said bluntly, "It's just that such people are just dawdling in their lives, and are useless to the court and the country."

...It turns out that this exam is just a formality, as long as those rich and powerful children are not hopelessly poor, they can be admitted, and then they will be assigned to a certain department to dawdle and waste food.

Comparing those candidates who have been studying hard for more than ten years, it can only be said that the same person does not have the same fate. This is a helpless and ironic reality.

"If you're just messing around, then why bother to take the exam." Bai Chen said, "Since you want to take the exam, you must be serious."

Wouldn't it be easier for the Wangfu to mess around? What he wants is to break out of his own world and make his own career.

Xiao Lin nodded: "Although the exam is loose, if you perform well, you can still have the opportunity to enter the authority."

Speaking of this, Bai Chen has a question.

He is a time traveler, and he doesn't know much about Xiao Lin in the past, he only knows that he is both intelligent and brave.

It is said that when he was 15 years old, he went into battle with King Kang in Liangzhou, without stage fright, and killed countless enemies.

Why does he still take this kind of test that is obviously a leak?

So he really asked.

Xiao Lin: "At that time, I just came to Beijing and I had nothing to do, so I wanted to give it a try."

... Isn't this just like those high school masters, who have nothing to do to get a certificate for fun.

Bai Chen asked: "Master Xiao is so serious, he must have got a good result in the exam."

Xiao Lin: "I passed both civil and military exams, and finally got a job."

"What kind of idle job?" Bai Chen felt the power of Xueba.

"The emperor has an imperial guard and a guard of honor. These two teams are composed of people who have been selected through internal examinations." Xiao Lin said, "Those who are stronger will join the guards, and those who are idle will join the guard of honor."

"No wonder you said that if I choose martial arts, I can only enter the guard of honor." Bai Chen smiled wryly and shook his head, "It is true that I have overestimated my capabilities."

"Actually, the guard team is empty. There are basically no guard missions. Many people don't even go to fight." Xiao Lin raised the corners of his lips, but there was no smile. "The emperor has real imperial guards, and there are countless shadow guards."

"I see."

The imperial guard team is just to show off a good name to the children of the rich and powerful.If it is really escorting, you have to rely on the imperial guards and shadow guards.

Xiao Lin naturally didn't want to stay with such an empty air.

"Then who is the captain of the Imperial Guard?" Bai Chen asked, "Does he have any objection if someone doesn't fight?"

Xiao Lin: ...

Lin Feiyun covered his mouth and suppressed a smile, "The captain is the young master."

Bai Chen: ...

He must be stuck in his head, asking such an idiotic question, it looks like he needs a break.

"Now you don't even need to fight." Xiao Lin said lightly, "That's fine."

"Young master Xiao, you will get better soon." Seeing that the master and servant seem to be still busy, Bai Chen said, "Thank you again for your information, I will go back first, and come back the day after tomorrow to treat you with acupuncture."

Xiao Lin didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

Bai Chen stood up, Lin Feiyun was about to salute him when he heard Xiao Lin say: "Mr. Bai, please stay."

He turned around, "Young Master Xiao, is there anything else?"

Xiao Lin touched the jade ring on his finger: "I will ask Feiyun to take someone to guard the place where Nuanchun's body is parked tonight..."

Bai Chen subconsciously asked, "Did you make a discovery?"

After asking, he was secretly surprised, Xiao Lin kept him and told him such a confidential matter, why?

Could it be because he had inspected Nuan Chun's body and knew about the poisoning, so let him know about it?

Or does it mean that Xiao Lin began to trust him gradually?

"Feiyun, tell me." Xiao Lin said.

Although Lin Feiyun was a little surprised that the master left Bai Chen behind, he also believed in the little lady in his heart, so he stepped forward to report, "At Xushi, someone went to the place where Nuan Chun's body was parked in the west courtyard, and we caught him right away. "

Xiao Lin sneered, seemingly not surprised at all.

Bai Chen was a little stunned.

This is very different from his earlier deduction. Could there be something hidden behind Nuan Chun's death?
