Man Bao counted the various loopholes he knew on his fingers, "It is said that officials cannot do business, but among the officials in the DPRK, who does not have one or two servants with a shop in his name? Even if it is not possible, there are relatives and friends who can cooperate.

, basically as long as I don’t fall, these cooperations can continue for a long time.”

She didn't shy away and said directly: "For example, the imperial doctor of our Imperial Medical Department, Xiao Yuanzheng, has several pharmacies in his home, which are in the names of his two sons. Although the imperial doctors Liu and the others do not have their own pharmacies, they all have close ones.

Drug stores, I occasionally go to those drug stores to take orders, or help them treat some very important patients who cannot find an imperial doctor..."

"I also recommend some drug dealers to the drug store. With this, I don't have to pay and I get a share every year," Man Bao said: "I come from Jishi Hall, and shopkeeper Zheng Da has hinted several times that I can get it from the shop here in the capital.

Give me 10% of your profits."

Changyu and Mingda opened their mouths, and Mingda asked curiously, "Did you take it?"

Man Bao shook his head, "I've been tempted too, but if I think about it carefully, if I take this 10% of the income, I will have more responsibilities in the future. I won't feel comfortable if I go elsewhere, so it's still Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, forget it.

.”

Yin Or: "But don't you go to Jishi Hall from time to time? I heard from my eldest sister that someone wanted to invite you from the Imperial Medical Office, but the Imperial Medical Office did not approve it, so in the end I had to go to Jishi Hall.

It’s your turn.”

"Hey, are you talking about the Pei family's wife?" Man Bao said, "I only went to this one outpatient clinic last time."

She smiled and said: "She paid for it. She has a medical fee, so why doesn't she go to the clinic? Speaking of which, I also want to thank Shopkeeper Zheng for recruiting patients for me. This is considered reciprocity. How can I have the nerve to take money from Shopkeeper Zheng again?"

"

Bai Shandao: "This is the difference between thin-skinned and thick-skinned. But for officials who have been in the officialdom for a few more years, if they love money, they will become thicker no matter how thin they are. So it is not possible to expect officials to have self-discipline. They must have rules."

OK."

Mingda said: "The DPRK has clearly stipulated that officials cannot engage in business. How else to stipulate it? We can't ask their servants and relatives not to engage in business, right?"

"This will definitely not work," Bai Erlang said directly without the need for Bai Shan and Man Bao to express their objections: "In the future, if Bai Shan passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, but I fail, then I will definitely go home and farm."

He said: "After busy farming, I must do some business to make a living. If my relatives can't do business, what should I do?"

Everyone:......

Mingda looked at him curiously and asked, "Are you still in business?"

"That's right," Bai Erlang said: "I have so much land, and the harvested food has to be taken out. If I see beautiful silks, brocades, etc. outside, I can bring them back to Mianzhou and Yizhou."

This is what his father did, but his father rarely did such things himself. He always asked the steward to come forward and he would take care of the matter.

The water in the stove next to it boiled, making a gurgling sound, and the smell of meat came out of the pot on it. Yin Or, who was about to speak, paused, turned around and asked, "Why is there still steamed meat?"

"

Man Bao said: "I asked my husband to bring it in today."

Chang Yu also smelled the sweet kiss, took a breath and said, "It smells so good. How many bowls did you bring?"

"Three bowls, I've brought all that the gentleman brought into the palace." Man Bao said to Yin He, "You can eat more of this. The gentleman said that my sister-in-law said that the nobles in the palace must not be short of oil and water, so

This time she made the noodles a little thicker and put a lot of radishes underneath, so the steamed meat is less greasy."

Yin You's face didn't change much and said: "Actually, it's the same as before."

Liu Huan turned around and asked, "Have you eaten it?"

Yin You nodded, "They gave some to me during the Chinese New Year."

He was shocked when he received the New Year gift. It was the first time he received steamed meat as a New Year gift, but he only ate two pieces that night, and the rest was given to his father, grandmother and six children.

My sister ate it and felt very sorry.

Liu Huan was jealous at the scent, "Why don't you give it to me?"

Man Bao blinked, couldn't help but look at Bai Shan, and said hesitantly: "I will give you one next time? Our New Year's gift to your family is not small, right? This steamed pork is not valuable, and your family

There’s a lot, I’ll give you a bowl, can you eat a piece?”

Liu Huan thought the same thing. They have a lot of family members, which is different from Yin or his family.

Seeing that the fooling around was over, Man Bao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that they were off topic again, Chang Yu couldn't help but knock on the table and asked: "By the way, do you still want to discuss it?"

Man Bao comforted her and said: "Don't worry, you won't be able to discuss this kind of thing once or twice. Anyway, you still have a long time before you get married, and you are not in a hurry to start a business."

Mingda was no longer in a hurry now. She took a sip of tea and saw that it was true to talk about things, eat delicious food, and even chat happily.

She also turned to Chang Yu and said, "Why don't you stop thinking about doing business, just like me, just take care of the fiefdom when the time comes. The Wei family is noble, and Mr. Wei may not be used to your luxury."

Chang Yu said, "Then we can live separately. He can live in the Wei family and I can live in the princess's mansion. How good is that? I feel more comfortable."

Mingda didn't expect his sister to have this idea, and his eyes widened. Manbao also widened his eyes, and asked in disbelief: "Don't husband and wife live together?"

Chang Yu said matter-of-factly: "Of course we don't have to live together. Several of my sisters and brothers-in-law don't live together. If anything happens, just call the consort to the princess's house to talk."

Bai Shan couldn't help but become curious, "How is the relationship between the consort and the princess?"

Chang Yu thought for a while and said: "There are bad things, but of course there are also good things."

Man Bao shook his head and said to her: "My parents have never been separated."

Bai Shan: "I feel a little sympathy for Brother Wei now."

Changyu:……

Mingda didn't think so. She said: "This is the privilege of a royal princess. Women are not easy in the world. You men are only allowed to sleep in flowers and willows and decide whether to go home. Women are not allowed to have their own house and place to live?"

Man Bao nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right."

Bai Shan: "...I live in your house now."

Bai Erlang said: "Actually, a house for one person is too big. If you want to play together, you have to walk a long way. If you really want to be comfortable, you can have a yard for each person. Since you are comfortable, if you want to talk together, it's better to play together.

Come together.”

Yin Or: "...Are we really not going to talk about business between officials and relatives of the emperor?"

Bai Shandao: "Actually, there is nothing to say about this. These problems are all well known. The solution I can think of at the moment is that close relatives cannot do business in the areas under the jurisdiction of officials. Close relatives include relatives within three generations and two generations of the wife's family.
