Chapter 783 Give Xinbao a Face

Hao Huashi said nonchalantly, "Anyway, Zhou Guangcai is just being stubborn now and can't leave the house... I heard from the people in the eavesdropping building that his two apprentices came over, and Zhou Guangcai, perhaps wanting to make trouble, scolded them a few times, but the two apprentices just left and acted as if they were embarrassed by being scolded, which aroused everyone's sympathy, so they managed to get away successfully."

Yuan Shenjue wasn't very interested, so he lowered his eyes.

Then Hao Huashi said: "Oh, that's right!!"

He looked as if he had just remembered something, and Yuan Shenjue raised his eyes quietly again, waiting to listen.

Then Hao Huashi looked at him, as if what she was going to say was related to him...

After waiting for a long time, Yuan Shenjue could no longer bear to urge him, so he said seriously: "As for Shi Minglei, I heard that they have already discussed and decided that he and Li Luoer will follow us. When we arrive in the capital, if he can enter the Imperial College and settle down, let Li Erlang and his wife escort the two old people to the capital."

Yuan Shenjue: “…”

Hao Huashi sighed again, but Yuan Shenjue didn't even raise his eyes. It was really not fun at all.

So he could only continue with regret: "They were the ones who came this morning. It's rare that his two uncles are kind and don't have any objections."

Xinbao was eating snacks, with snack crumbs still on his little hands. He looked here and there and felt something was wrong.

Then she stood up and said, "Flower time."

Hao Huashi said: "Hey, Master?"

Tuanzi was like a cottage boss, patting his chest with his little hands: "Give Xinbao some face, don't bully Xinbao's wife."

Hao Huashi: “…”

puff!!

Mrs. Lin also burst out laughing on the spot.

Then she turned sideways, took Yuan Shenjue's hand, and said in a standard mother-in-law tone: "My daughter and daughter-in-law, our precious treasure, although she can't carry anything, and is neither good at literature nor martial arts, but at least she is sweet-talking! Isn't it happy to hear that? Don't you think so?!

Hao Huashi couldn't stop laughing, and Yuan Shenjue couldn't help but laugh too.

Xinbao argued: "It's important to be sweet-mouthed! It's important to be able to speak well! My wife said that if it weren't for Xinbao's witty remarks, there wouldn't be his brilliant writing skills!!"

Madam Lin laughed out loud: "Your wife is so good at talking, why does she become a saw-mouthed gourd in front of me?"

Xinbao paused.

Mrs. Lin deliberately glanced at her sideways.

Xinbao held it in for a long time: "Because... because my wife is shy..."

Mrs. Lin laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

Someone came to report: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince wants you to come over. He said that everyone has arrived and is boiling medicine."

Xinbao said "oh" and then washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, and everyone went over together.

They were cooking the same bird food that the Li family used to attract birds in the bird forest. When the time came, they would put it in a jar and seal it. Then, when they got to the place, they would open it and attract the birds to come over here.

While we were here, countless birds gathered.

Shi Minglei and Li Luoer had also arrived and hurried over to pay their respects.

Madam Lin waved her hand, then went over to stand with Yan Qingshan, saying, "It's so effective, don't we have to keep drawing it in Jiangnan? We can just draw it all the way back to Beijing."

Yan Qingshan said: "We have already issued a notice, we can't start well but end badly, so we will ask people to go there. We will also guide them along the way."

Mrs. Lin said "oh".

If you boil it more, you can smell that unique aroma.

Li Luoer spoke to Shi Minglei in a low voice. Hao Huashi listened and raised his eyebrows.

Then Shi Minglei came over and said respectfully, "Your Highness."

Xinbao nodded, and Shi Minglei said, "We have fed this medicine to chickens without any problems. We have also used it to attract birds before, but... when my father-in-law was alive, he met an old doctor who said that this medicine is not good for birds if they eat too much, so we can't feed it to birds on a daily basis."

Xinbao waved his hand: "It's okay, Xinbao thinks there's nothing wrong with the medicine, and the amount added is very small... Besides, I don't usually feed this kind of thing, and it's troublesome to stay up all night."

Shi Minglei nodded repeatedly and was about to go back.

Hao Huashi gossiped with him: "I heard that you also wrote an article??"

Shi Minglei paused: "Yes."

Hao Huashi turned around and smiled at them: "Many people say that Shi Minglei shouldn't speak out at this time, otherwise it would be a bit of a sly attempt to gain an advantage."

Shi Minglei hurriedly explained, "I don't mean to kill Zhou Guangcai, nor am I arrogant. I just feel that even if you guys are not speaking out for me, I and the Yue family have benefited from it. How can I accept it?"

Yuan Shenjue said: "I have read the article. You are right, and you are also right."

Hao Huashi said: "I heard that when he went to post it, an old man stopped him and talked for a long time, saying that even if he got the upper hand, he should show mercy to others... something like that."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Yuan Shenjue said calmly: "Repay evil with kindness, how to repay kindness?"

"That's right!" Xinbao agreed: "If I'm old, I'm right. But when Xinbao gets old, Xinbao will also be talking nonsense!!"

Yuan Shenjue smiled and held her head, "Xinbao is right. Just because you are old doesn't mean you are right. He is taking advantage of his age. Under his sanctimonious appearance, I'm afraid he is just jealous."

Shi Minglei couldn't help but look up at him. He felt that when he spoke, he didn't speak in an official tone or with airs, nor was he ambiguous. He just said what he thought, which was really refreshing.

As they talked, Shi Minglei gradually relaxed.

He is a talented person and has become famous for his storybooks. He is also very good at chatting with Xinbao and Hao Huashi.

Yan Qingshan took a few glances and left with Madam Lin. A few people asked someone to bring stools over and watched them endure while talking.

Apart from the birds flying over from time to time, the conversation was quite good. Even Li Luoer, although a little shy, was very knowledgeable when talking about medicine.

Hao Huashi also asked him: "When you said whether you would or not, did you also say it to us?"

Shi Minglei was a little embarrassed: "When I was young and frivolous, I was scolded by Zhou Guangcai and I made a fuss. I was a little embarrassed, so I wanted to find an excuse to step down and clear the name of Luo'er's family... So whenever there is a chance, I want to give it a try."

He explained, "It's not that I dare to cling to you, in fact, just talking to you is enough."

Hao Huashi nodded.

At this moment, even someone like him who didn't understand politics realized that this was probably what they called... the person most suitable for a career in politics, who was smart, shrewd, good at seizing opportunities and making use of all available conditions, and would surely achieve success in the future.

Yuan Shenjue said: "You are actually right, but have you ever thought about how you would respond if we answer your question?"

Shi Minglei coughed and said, “I would ask the young prince to recruit some female doctors.”

Yuan Shenjue frowned slightly.

Of course, Shi Minglei's words were meant to implicitly seek benefits for his fiancée, but this method cannot be said to be useless.

Because medicine was flourishing, becoming a doctor became another way to advance one's career besides the imperial examination. However, the threshold for medical skills was high. If one only learned half of the skills for the sake of promotion, it would not only be useless but could also harm people.

If Xinbao wants to recruit some female doctors, she doesn't need to recruit them as apprentices. She just needs to let people know that she has recruited them and what she wants to train them to do...

This will discourage many scholars who originally wanted to study medicine, as they would think that competing with women is beneath dignity.

The other part, those who really like medicine, or those who are determined to work hard in medicine in exchange for high positions and wealth, will still persist.

Simple but effective.

Yuan Shenjue nodded, thinking that he would write a letter to Emperor Mingpei to ask after returning today.
