Chapter 3355 Extra: Strong Sister 10

He had long wanted to cool down the hot potato in his hand. He had never thought about Zhao Liulang before, but now...

Bai Shan looked at him with a smile, "The old Duke's health is getting worse. I heard that he has been thinking about dividing your brothers' families. After dividing the families, have you ever thought about how you can gain a foothold in the capital?"

If Zhao Liulang wants to become independent from the Duke's government, his expenses will definitely rise in a straight line. He will still earn so much money. It is even possible that his income will decrease because he is no longer the young prince. How can he maintain his current living standard at this time?

?

"Besides, my niece and nephew are going to get married now, and they will get married in two years, right?"

Zhao Liulang married early and had children early, and his children are already very young. Even if he follows the call of the Imperial Medical Office to marry later and have children later, it is time for them to get married.

Zhao Liulang's hand tightened as he held the box.

Bai Shandao: "The cost of a paper mill is not high. If you find a few craftsmen who have the recipe, you can make it with a little thought. Nowadays, paper is cheap, but small profits but quick turnover can make a lot of money. Otherwise, no one would be like this."

The paper mill of the jealous princess..."

Zhao Liulang: "...Do you think I can protect Zifang? How about you and Zhou Man join in?"

I'm afraid not many people in Dajin would dare to mess with the couple.

Bai Shan refused directly, "Zhou Man and I both have shares in the princess's paper mill, so we can't buy it from you anymore. This recipe is a new year's gift for you, so I'll leave it to you to handle."

Bai Shan secretly reminded: "If you are worried, why not invite the prince to come with you? As the saying goes, brothers working together can break gold."

But his relationship with this eldest brother is very ordinary.

There is a big age difference between the two brothers. In addition, Zhao Dalang is always away from the capital and works abroad most of the time. The two brothers have not seen each other for as long as he and Bai Shansi have spent together.

When they were studying in Chongwen Hall, they got along day and night, but he and Zhao Dalang didn't have such an experience for a few days.

"If you're not looking for the crown prince, then look for someone else," Bai Shan said as he sent Buddha to the west. "It doesn't have to be powerful, or someone with the same ideals, or someone with good character."

"If your paper mill is not wrong, no matter what outsiders want to do, they have to worry about Duke Zhao's house," Bai Shan said: "Even if the family is separated, you are still the son of the old Duke and the younger brother of the new Duke in the future..."

Bai Shan spoke the next few words slowly, almost word by word. Zhao Liulang said thoughtfully, "You mean, you want me to find those who are likely to be separated from their families, but whose family background is not poor."

people?"

Bai Shan: "...I am clearly talking about people who share the same goals with you and have good character."

"I know, I know, you just got it from playing with me," Zhao Liulang waved his hand to show his understanding, then touched his chin and started thinking, "Don't tell me, there are really a few..."

Zhao Liulang had an idea in his mind and became happy. He patted Bai Shan vigorously on the shoulder and said, "When our paper mill makes money, I will treat you to a drink."

When he went out and saw Bai Jingxing squatting on the back of the rockery distressedly holding a book, he also said: "This matter is thanks to my eldest niece. When she comes to me for something in the future, I will not refuse."

Bai Shan pushed him out and said, "Shut up, get out, get out."

If even their own family couldn't solve the problem, Zhao Liulang couldn't solve it much.

Bai Shan came back after seeing off Zhao Liulang and went around to see his daughter under the rockery. He saw her reciting "Su Wen" with a sad face. Bai Shan listened for a while, shook his head and interrupted her, "How do you recite it?"

Does it have to be so painful?”

He smiled and said, "Your mother was very happy when she memorized this book. She pondered over each sentence line by line. When she could memorize it, she went to the Jishi Hall in the county seat to find shopkeeper Zheng and recited it to him."

Because Shopkeeper Zheng lent her "Suwen" to read.

Bai Jingxing, "But it's very difficult, much more difficult to memorize than The Analects of Confucius and Mencius."

Bai Shan climbed up the rockery, sat next to her and asked, "If it's so painful, why do you have to force yourself to learn medicine?"

"I want to be like my mother."

Bai Shan looked at her and couldn't help but smile, "Silly boy."

But he didn't stop her. It was always good for children to learn. Even if she didn't understand what she meant, studying medicine was not a bad thing anyway.

So Bai Shan pretended not to see her pain. When he saw her persistence, he encouraged her: "Then work hard. Father thinks you can do it."

Zhou Man also encouraged her in this way, and the kind words from the two of them were as if they were free of charge.

Whenever Bai Jingxing felt that she could no longer hold on, the two of them would take her out, either Bai Shan or Zhou Man, or the couple would go out together with their three children.

Seeing the happiness and pain of the people outside, as well as the benefits of the government affairs presided over by Bai Shan and Zhou Man, and hearing the gratitude of these people to her parents, Bai Jingxing felt that she could do it again.

She was just immersed in her studies. When her friends invited her to go out, she could only go out twice out of ten, and she only went out more often to play polo.

Whenever this happens, Bai Jingxing will quietly ask Zheng, "Grandma, were my father and mother really fun when they were children? Why are they so fun and able to study so well without having to study hard?"

Zheng said: "They are having fun, but they don't have as much time to play as you do."

She said: "You children, you call your friends out to play every now and then. Your parents didn't have such time in the past. There were few things to play in the village. After school every day, they only went to the fields to catch mud and catch fish.

Apart from a few birds, most of the time we get together to do homework and copy books."

Mrs. Zheng recalled how she used to feed them snacks every day, and couldn't help but laugh, "The happiest thing in their day at that time was waiting for me to give them snacks. Just for fun? It was just a day off.

Sometimes I go out to play for half a day, and the rest of the time is spent reading and playing in the study."

"For them, reading is just for fun. Even your cousin, who was so naughty when he was a child, was taken to read in the study on holidays." Ms. Zheng said with a smile, "Now you are living a better life.

When I just want to run outside, how many of you remember to read a book?"

Bai Jingxing was speechless, "Can this be called fun?"

"It's like this in the village. It's quiet and easy for people to meditate. Unlike in the capital, there is a bustling market just a few streets away from the front door and courtyard wall. You will pass by it on the way back from school. Naturally, people's hearts are wandering and they can't calm down.

.”

Zheng touched her head and said, "You are smarter than your parents at all, but you don't have their desire to learn, so you find learning difficult and you don't have the same happiness as your parents.

"

Bai Jingxing looked at her grandmother with a blank expression. She didn't understand at the time. It wasn't until a long, long time later that she looked back and saw what her grandmother meant.
