Tang Youyou was stunned, but when Li Baisong gave her a reassuring look, she understood.
The woman cried as she walked, which annoyed the officers and soldiers.
"Still crying? You weren't this sad even when your husband died just now!"
Someone couldn't help it and took off his socks and stuffed them into her mouth in public.
Mr. Jin said nothing along the way, feeling upset.
"Alas... sister, Jin never thought that he would be involved in a murder lawsuit in this life!"
Tang Youyou tried to comfort her, but what she said made people laugh and cry.
"To be honest, big brother, this is my first time too, and I'm still a little uncomfortable!"
Master Jin laughed dumbly, "Sister, you are not afraid of officials at all?"
She thought to herself: What's there to be afraid of? Just one nose and two eyes. I've seen officials higher up than this in my past life.
"Ahem... I haven't done anything bad, why should I be scared?"
Mr. Jin choked and looked at her with admiration. The elder sister was very brave and courageous, not inferior to any man.
Then I thought about how she was a widow raising five children alone, and I felt both respect and admiration for her!
His wife had passed away many years ago, and he was busy with the restaurant business and neglected to discipline his children. If this could be compared with her...
After a moment, she shook her head again and complained in her heart: No way, she still has five children, this burden is too heavy. She will probably not abandon her children easily if she can remain chaste for her deceased husband. No way!
But when I thought about her cooking skills and the recipes of those ingredients, I felt a little hesitant, and I felt torn between my conscience and my desires.
Tang Youyou gave him a strange look, "Brother Jin, are you feeling unwell?"
Mr. Jin was a little embarrassed and grinned, "It's nothing, I just thought that since my elder sister came all the way here, I should treat you to a meal!"
Only then did she realize that she hadn't even had lunch and seemed to be hungry!
"It's okay, there are plenty of opportunities!"
When they arrived at the government office, it was already dark and the rest of the people were detained, except Tang Youyou.
In the study:
The three of them stared at each other, and she finally couldn't help but stepped forward and bowed: "Ahem... Sir, please speak frankly if you have something to say!"
Lord Chen was playing with the Buddhist beads in his hand, looking cynical.
"You...are not afraid of me?"
Tang Youyou raised an eyebrow, "Don't be afraid, my Lord is handsome, suave, and dignified, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a face like a crown of jade..."
"Hahaha..." Li Baisong on the side couldn't help it anymore. It was the first time he saw her flattering someone.
Master Chen glared at him, then turned to look at Tang Youyou: "What nonsense are you talking about? Have you ever been to school?"
Tang Youyou nodded slightly, "Thanks to Big Brother Li, he was the one who found the master for me!"
Master Chen was even more surprised. "Uh... you've just started learning to read?"
She didn't understand, but nodded.
Li Baisong also realized that she had only been studying for a month, but she knew so many words. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a genius.
"Hiss" Lord Chen took a breath of cold air.
"I've heard about the vegetable incident. Don't worry. Once I write a letter, County Magistrate Zhang will investigate thoroughly!"
Tang Youyou burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you very much, sir. Your clear-mindedness is a blessing to the people of the world!"
Master Chen laughed dumbly, "Stop flattering me. Do you have any requests regarding the prescription?"
Tang Youyou shook her head subconsciously. What could she ask for? Could she be rewarded with a female official? I'm afraid not. So maybe some gold and silver, a house, or even a plaque bestowed by the emperor himself, but what would be the use?
Money has always been a source of inspiration for people, but this glaring gift might even bring about unexpected disasters.
Li Baisong reminded him, "Sister, feel free to ask for anything you want! Ahem... you've done a great deed!"
Lord Chen rolled his eyes at this guy who was so disloyal.
But she still shook her head, "May I ask, sir, what reward will the emperor give?
To be honest, these two prescriptions were given to my mother by the Bodhisattva in her dream, but how many people would believe it? I can't even explain the origin, and I'm afraid of bringing disaster upon myself!
Lord Chen was silent for a few breaths, then nodded slightly. "In that case, don't worry. I have my own ideas and won't make things difficult for you. Just wait for the emperor's reward!"
Li Baisong noticed something was wrong and asked, "Brother, are you leaving?"
Lord Chen stroked his beard. "The new prefect will arrive in two days. Things here are almost over. I'm going back to the capital! Why don't you come with me?"
Li Baisong thought about the next spring imperial examination and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother!"
On the way, Li Baisong sighed.
"Alas... sister, where has your usual cleverness gone?"
Tang Youyou rubbed his nose and looked innocent: "What's wrong?"
"Alas...you have to beg when you need to. Although my senior brother looks careless, he is actually a very principled person. Didn't you see me trying so hard to wink at you?"
"Is that the reward that Brother Li is talking about?"
Li Baisong was very disappointed with his students.
"Brother Li, I want to be a female county magistrate. Do you think it's possible?"
The latter suddenly stopped and grinned, "That won't work. If you want to be a general, disguise yourself as a man and fight the enemy, then..."
Tang Youyou sighed helplessly: "If I meet the emperor again, perhaps a minister will plead for me, and my merits and demerits will be offset? From now on, I will become a female general? Brother Li, what do you think I want?"
Go into battle and kill the enemy? Make yourself unable to eat or sleep well, and then accept criticism? Only a fool would do such a thankless task!
Li Baisong opened and closed his mouth, but he didn't expect to hear any rebuttal.
"Brother Li, forgive my bluntness, but in the secular world, a woman's duty is to take care of her husband and children, and she is not allowed to show her face in public, let alone become a female official. That is nothing but a daydream!
Besides, I'm a widow, I don't have big aspirations, I just want to raise my children and live comfortably in my old age!"
"Those important tasks still have to be handed over to men, and as for rewards, they are nothing more than gold, silver, or other material possessions.
I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Big Brother Li, I'm a very ambitious person and never find making money difficult, so these are very easy for me!"
Li Baisong suddenly thought of how she brought Changyinju back to life in just one day, and he began to look at her with admiration again.
"Sister, I'm obsessed! I just think your talent shouldn't be buried!"
"Brother Li, this world doesn't allow women to be more successful than men, so you'd better not say such things in the future, or you might bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself."
Li Bosong: She actually saw through the essence of the matter so clearly? If this could lead to a career in government? Alas... what a pity!
Thinking that he would be leaving in two days, he bowed and pleaded: "Sister, I will be leaving for the capital in two days. Please take care of my wife and son!"
Tang Youyou: I'll take care of it? Shouldn't we ask County Magistrate Zhang to take care of it?
"Of course! Sister Li and I met so late, we really hit it off! Just relax and take the Spring Examination, and I'll wait for your good news!"
Can I get second place? I can also hold a big brother...
