Chapter 982: Whose Favor Is It?
Bai Shuzhi came out a little late because his cell was closer to the inside.
However, as soon as he came out, someone grabbed his sleeve.
"Brother Bai! Brother Bai! You must save me!"
Bai Shuzhi looked back.
"So it's Brother Zheng." Bai Shuzhi asked in confusion, "Why do you say that, Brother Zheng?"
After hearing what Bai Shuzhi said, Zheng Ziqian, the son of Prime Minister Zheng, showed a heartbroken expression on his face.
"Brother Bai, why are you asking when you already know the answer? I treated you as a close friend." Zheng Ziqian said, "I never thought that Brother Bai would hide away all the good stuff he had, enjoying himself and yet refuse to help me..."
Bai Shuzhi understood.
A smug expression appeared on his face involuntarily.
Finally someone envies me!
"Brother Zheng, what are you talking about?" Bai Shuzhi sighed, "The things in Bai's hands are truly extremely rare and worth a fortune."
Bai Shuzhi's tone changed when he said this.
He added, "However, since Brother Zheng has asked, even if I have to save a little myself, I will definitely give some to Brother Zheng."
Zheng Ziqian was filled with gratitude after hearing what Bai Shuzhi said.
"Thank you, Brother Bai." Zheng Ziqian bowed and said, "I knew that Brother Bai is a man of great righteousness, a true gentleman! It is truly an honor for me to have Brother Bai as my close friend!"
After Zheng Ziqian's call, Bai Shuzhi was overjoyed and felt elated.
You must know that Zheng Ziqian is the legitimate son of Prime Minister Zheng and the nephew of the imperial concubine.
Although the Bai family has a queen mother in the palace, she never asks about state affairs or interferes in the affairs of the harem.
The Zheng family is different. They have the imperial concubine in charge of the six palaces, and a first-rank official like Prime Minister Zheng outside.
It can be said that the Zheng family’s power in the capital has long crushed that of the Bai family.
Bai Shuzhi naturally knew how important it was to do the Zheng family a favor.
"Brother Zheng, you are so kind." Bai Shuzhi said, "I am very lucky to have a close friend like Brother Zheng..."
"Brother Bai..."
"Brother Zheng..."
The two held hands, showing a mutual understanding.
A candidate from the nearby Fude Academy happened to hear the conversation between the two people.
I couldn't help but look at Bai Shuzhi carefully several times.
The third young master of the Bai family probably wants to use the things made by the young boss to earn favors for himself!
No! I have to tell the little boss!
"Third brother!" Bai Shuqing ran over and said happily, "Grandma asked me to come and take Third brother home."
Bai Shuzhi nodded.
immediately--
"Qing'er, this is Master Zheng, Third Brother's close friend." Bai Shuzhi introduced, "Brother Zheng, this is my sister."
Bai Shuqing bowed to Zheng Ziqian and said, "Master Zheng."
Zheng Ziqian quickly returned the greeting, "Miss Bai."
The two looked at each other and then looked away at the same time.
At this time, the servant of the Zheng family also came to pick up Zheng Ziqian.
Zheng Ziqian immediately said goodbye to Bai Shuzhi.
"Brother Bai, I will be waiting here tomorrow morning. How about we go in together?" Zheng Ziqian said.
Bai Shuzhi nodded and said, "Okay! Don't worry, Brother Zheng. As long as I have something to eat, I will definitely not let you go hungry."
Zheng Ziqian left with a grateful look on his face.
However, before they had gone far, they ran into people from the Song family, and then they ran into people from the Wang family...
"Third brother, what does he mean by this?" Bai Shuqing glanced at Zheng Ziqian's back and asked suspiciously, "Could it be... that you want to share the meal Su Tang prepared for you with him?"
"This man is Prime Minister Zheng's legitimate son and also a good friend of my third brother. Naturally, we can share the happiness together." Bai Shuzhi said as a matter of course.
Bai Shuqing: "...But, if that happens, won't you, Third Brother, be hungry?"
Bai Shuzhi glanced at Bai Shuqing and thought that this sister was a little silly.
Wouldn’t it be enough to let the Su family prepare more?
"Did Sister Siya come with you?" Bai Shuzhi asked.
Bai Shuqing shook her head and said, "I didn't go to Xia's house to look for her, so she probably didn't come."
After saying that, he pointed at the dark crowd next to him.
He added, "Su Tang is applying the medicine here. If Xia Siya comes, she will definitely be with Su Tang. I just went in to check, and she's not here."
So, he probably didn't come.
Bai Shuzhi frowned slightly when he heard this.
A hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.
But his eyes involuntarily looked towards a corner in the distance.
In the corner, a carriage was parked quietly.
A corner of the carriage curtain was lifted, revealing a woman's profile.
Bai Shuzhi's brows immediately relaxed.
"Qing'er, go tell Sister Su first that the food she prepared is too little for Third Brother. She should prepare twice as much." Bai Shuzhi said, "Third Brother is a little tired. I'll wait for you in the carriage first."
Bai Shuqing listened to Bai Shuzhi's words and her face was full of disapproval.
"Third brother, do you know that the meals made by Su Tang are only provided to the candidates of Fude Academy?" Bai Shuqing said, "The reason why you have a share is because of the Xia family's face.
"You forgot that when mother went to the Su family in person, the Su family still pushed this favor to the Xia family."
"If Xia Siya hadn't told us the truth, none of us would have known that those meals were prepared by the Su family."
"I'm going to talk to Su Tang now, but I'm afraid Su Tang will still ask us to go to the Xia family to ask for it..."
Bai Shuqing now understands that the Su family does not care about the Bai family's favors.
What the Su family cares about is the close relationship with the Xia family.
Therefore, this favor will definitely be left to the Xia family.
If he didn’t pass through the Xia family, the third brother would probably not be able to get any food.
Bai Shuzhi heard his sister say this, still insisting: "Whether it's okay or not, you should always ask. What's more, it's okay if you didn't know before, but now that we know that those meals were made by Sister Su, it's natural to go to Sister Su and tell her first."
Bai Shuqing hesitated for a moment.
"...Okay, I'll go tell Su Tang. Third brother, you can go back to the carriage first."
"Okay, go ahead!"
After Bai Shuzhi finished speaking, he walked quickly in a certain direction.
Bai Shuqing turned around.
"Third brother, our carriage is over there!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction to the side.
Bai Shuzhi: “…”
He paused and had to change direction.
"Third brother knows." Bai Shuzhi said.
His eyes were looking at the carriage parked in the corner.
In the crowd, Lin Wangchen helped distribute the medicine.
Tang Bao and Doctor Wang began to examine the seriously ill candidates.
After all, in addition to those who have caught a cold, some candidates also have other illnesses.
Fortunately, Tangbao prepared a lot of pills.
Some common diseases do have corresponding pills.
This is quite convenient.
With the reputation of Doctor Wang, the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and Tang Bao, the disciple of Doctor Hua, any candidate who was not feeling well was not in a hurry to go back.
Most of them drank a bowl of ginger and sugar water, ate something to fill their stomachs, and then lined up to have Doctor Wang and Tang Bao take their pulses.
So much so that by the time everyone at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall had dispersed, it was already completely dark.
"Brother, Brother Wangchen, you've worked hard." Tang Bao said with a smile, "This place is very close to the Princess's Mansion. Why don't you rest here tonight?"
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she looked at Lin Wangchen and continued, "Brother Wangchen has been in the capital for these few days, and I'm afraid he hasn't been out and about in the streets much. After sending my fifth brother and the others to the examination hall tomorrow, we can go shopping in the capital with my parents..."
In fact, her parents wanted to take her to visit the Lin Mansion tomorrow.
At the same time, her mother also wanted to take Lin Wangchen with her.
That's why she asked her senior brother to bring Brother Wangchen here today.
