Chapter 337 New Scholar
"Baishantang has only been in operation for three months now, and it has already achieved initial results, curing thousands of patients. At the beginning, a few people pretended to be poor people to treat diseases. After local officials found out, they will give them certificates of villagers. The position of the chief was demolished, and those people were not only given a medical fee, but also worked hard for half a month. This was a warning to the monkeys, and nothing like this happened in the next two months. "
Su Wan put the account book aside and rubbed his belly: "There are only two Baishan Halls now. The profits in the army and the palace are more than enough. But the Zhou Dynasty has a vast territory. If Baishan Halls were established in every prefecture and county, I'm afraid It’s not enough on my own.”
She wants to use modern charity funds to call on the rich to invest money in charity, specifically to provide medical treatment for the poor people in Baishan Hall, and some of it will be used to establish private schools so that poor children can have books to study.
If the country is strong, the people will be strong, if the country is rich, the people will be rich, and if the people are strong, the country will be rich.
After hearing Su Wan's plan, Qi Min agreed: "This is a good idea and very feasible."
Su Wan touched her chin and thought: "Rich people will not do charity in vain. We need to discuss it with the emperor. If we do charity, we can deduct part of the tax and gain a good reputation. I am afraid it can attract a lot of people."
Qi Min: "You discuss it with Huai Zhi first."
"Huaizhi is also troubled. The first assistant is probably old. He stayed in bed last winter and never got better. He plans to retire and return to his hometown, and he wants to recommend Huaizhi to be the first assistant. Firstly, he is young, and secondly, he is not from a serious imperial examination background. , was criticized by political opponents. He has no obsession with this. The Minister of Civil Affairs is about to step down, and he is bound to win this position. He has the ability, but it is not the weakness of being a Jinshi, which makes people disagree these days. They all went out to socialize and came back very late.”
I stayed in the palace to retake the exam the day before yesterday, and today I am taking the exam in the palace, so I just gave up the entertainment.
How could Su Wan let her trivial matters bother him?
"Didn't he take the Enke exam? He passed the Huiyuan exam, and today he takes the palace exam. If he is named on the gold list and his identity is revealed, why would it be their turn to criticize him for not being a Jinshi?" Qi Min was very disapproving: "If he gets the top prize, he will be a top scholar. Winning three yuan in a row is a slap in the face."
Su Wan smiled, thankful that Gu Huaizhi had the foresight to still participate in the imperial examination even though he was holding an important position in another identity. Wouldn't this come in handy?
"Just wait. Today is the first day of March. The top ten new scholars will be summoned the day after the imperial examination. The results will be released in four days." Su Wan held her belly in both hands, her brows knitted with worry: "I have calculated that I will be pregnant by the end of May. This little thing should be out on the fourth day of March.”
Qi Min glanced at Su Wan worriedly. She was well-raised by her mother. She had a round face. Although her limbs were slender, they had gained weight and looked plump.
She said worriedly: "It won't be early, right?"
"Maybe?" Su Wan couldn't help but feel nervous. The baby had already been born: "I'll walk around more in the next few days, and then the delivery will be smoother."
"Okay." Qi Min pushed the plate towards her: "Eat quickly."
Su Wan took the plate, one bite at a time, and finished it quickly.
Gu's mother came in with a smile and said: "Wanwan, your father has sent spring bamboo shoots, bracken, mushrooms, bacon and other wild products from Xinghua Village. What do you want to eat tonight? Make a stir-fried spring bamboo shoots with bacon and lamb tripe. Stewed chicken with mushrooms? He also sent twenty silky chickens for you to eat during your confinement."
Su Wan's mouth was full of saliva and her eyes were shining as she said, "The chicken needs to be stewed until it falls off the bones!"
"Okay!" Gu's mother said to Qi Min, "Will my mother-in-law stay for dinner?"
"Not today, I'll go back later."
"Okay, I'll get some mountain products for you to take back to eat." Gu's mother came and went in a hurry.
During dinner in the evening, Su Wan looked at the golden and translucent chicken soup in the bowl, which was fragrant and fragrant. She drank two bowls of soup in a row, a plate of spring bamboo shoots and fried bacon, and then two bowls of rice, which made her unable to sit down.
"Wanwan, in addition to the silky chickens, there are also twenty three-yellow chickens. They laid a lot of eggs along the way. Will I steam you two poached eggs with red dates later?" Gu's mother saw that Su Wan had a good appetite and was full of energy.
Su Wan waved her hands repeatedly: "No, I'm full. If I eat any more, I won't be able to sleep at night."
"How many times will mom help you walk around to get some food?"
"good."
Su Wan walked around the wall twice until her ribs felt a faint pain. Then she went back to her room to rest for a while, took a shower and lay on the bed.
The door to the house opens and closes.
Su Wan looked up and saw Gu Huaizhi coming in his underwear with wet hair.
"Did you take a shower next door?" Su Wan sat up and prepared to get out of bed.
Gu Huaizhi held her shoulders and gently laid her down on the bed: "I will do it myself, and you can sleep well."
"Have you just finished the exam and left the palace? Didn't you finish the exam at Youshi? It's the end of Xushi now." Su Wan hugged his neck and sniffed him: "Have you been drinking?"
"After the exam, I was dragged by my classmates to drink two drinks." Gu Huaizhi said with a smile in his eyes: "I washed it, is it still smelly?"
"It's very light and smells good." Su Wan buried her face in his neck, took a deep sniff, and licked her lips: "I want to drink it too."
"I'll give you a drink or two, Izukueko."
"I still have to breastfeed."
"Then wean it off and drink it again. I'll drink it for you."
"Disgusting!" Su Wan kicked him.
Gu Huaizhi held her feet and stuffed them into the quilt: "Don't catch the cold. If you really want to drink, please ask a wet nurse..."
"I have to feed myself." Su Wan interrupted him and said pitifully: "You drink it for me. I'll just smell it."
Gu Huaizhi's eyes darkened, he lifted her chin, lowered his head and kissed her, held her lips and licked gently, invading her lips and teeth little by little, and the breath of the two people intertwined.
His deep eyes were filled with emotions, watching her slowly sink, her fair and tender cheeks flushed, her eyes were filled with water, his breathing was disordered, his arms tightly hugged her, and he relaxed at her neck: "Did you taste it?"
Su Wan was stunned and didn't react, but then she tasted his taste between her lips and teeth, and there was a hint of mellow wine, her cheeks flushed.
She stretched out her hand to pinch his waist: "Sleep, you have to enter the palace tomorrow morning!"
Gu Huaizhi laughed: "You have to be in the top ten to enter the palace."
"My husband is so good, how could he not be in the top ten?" Su Wan opened her eyes wide, very unbelievable.
Gu Huaizhi was pleased by her and kissed her lips: "Go to sleep."
Su Wan hugged Gu Huaizhi intimately and fell asleep on his arm. In a daze, she murmured: "Not only should I be in the top ten, it would be best to be the top scorer in the imperial examination, so that we can slap them in the face. The wine I drank these days can't be in vain."
"Yes, my wife is right." Gu Huaizhi gently patted her back: "I will ask for an imperial decree for you."
Su Wan raised the corners of her lips in her sleep, as if she had a beautiful dream.
The next morning, Gu Huaizhi received a notice to enter the palace as a new Jinshi.
