Bai Shan stopped, looked sideways at Man Bao, and said with a smile, "Of course."

He also lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "First, we have to have two children..."

Man Bao put away the curiosity on his face, raised his foot and stepped on his instep and walked over. Bai Shan hissed, took two steps to catch up, reached out to hold her hand and said with a smile, "I'm serious."

Yes, I have to wait until I have children before thinking about the next step."

He lowered his voice and said: "When our children grow up, we will form a branch with our own branch, or we can go to Mianzhou to form a branch with my cousin and the others."

Man Bao: "Is Longzhou willing?"

Bai Shan smiled and said: "It is common sense to make trees with big branches. As long as I explain the truth, they will naturally be willing."

This is not an easy matter. Most families will not branch easily unless there is a war.

Mr. Bai's grandfather and father were able to branch out because it was a time of war in the previous dynasty and uprisings continued in various places. Their relationship with their own family was already far away and there was some discord. It was difficult to live in Longzhou, so they followed the refugees slowly.

Slowly arrived at Mianzhou.

Later, I wrote a letter back to my family to report it, and I opened a separate one directly in Mianzhou.

Because it coincided with the war, the clansmen were scattered and were already living in various places. Naturally, it was impossible to ask them to return to their original family.

For those who didn't get in touch, forget it. For those who did get in touch, they wanted to branch out, and my family basically agreed without any objection.

But now that the country is at peace and the people are at peace, Bai Shan has become a new Jinshi. He is considered the most promising among the Bai family's descendants. It may not be easy for him to branch out.

But Bai Shan feels that it all depends on people. As long as he has enough say and sufficient reasons, he can always convince the clan leader and the elders to agree.

And after the branch, "We will teach our children and grandchildren well so that the Bai family will be famous far and wide, so that it will not be just a small declining family in Longzhou like it is now."

Man Bao: "You are quite ambitious. Do you even want to join the ranks of aristocratic families?"

"At least I can't be too bad. I have already said that I want to honor my ancestors," Bai Shan said with a smile: "But this is not the main goal in life. It is just a plan for the future of the family. I think the Zhou family also needs a plan for the future of the family.

.”

"Even if a good marriage cannot change the family, it will still have a great impact on the family. You and I have been friends since we were young, childhood sweethearts, and have the kindness of our fathers. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, it is natural for us to get married, but if we immediately

If you can get married with the Liu family, in the eyes of the world, your Zhou family will be able to marry into the noble family, and it will be much easier to marry them next."

Man Bao said: "I'm just afraid that Qi Dafei will be a bad person."

"We all know Liu Huan's character. Mrs. Liu Shangshu also expressed her own views. Next, we will look at Liu Shangshu." Bai Shan looked at her and said, "Actually, you come to discuss this marriage with the Liu family.

, it is better than having your father-in-law and mother-in-law come forward, because you and Liu Shangshu were officials in the same dynasty, and there is not much difference in official grades."

When Man Bao thought about it, it was true.

Liu Shangshu is of the third rank, but she also compiled it of the fourth rank, okay?

Man Bao thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Li Ru."

You have to ask her what she means.

Zhou Liru thought about this for half a quarter of an hour before saying: "Sister-in-law, the Liu family's family status is too high. Even if I can't be an imperial physician in the future, I will still have to practice medicine and become a doctor. Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain that I have been studying medical books day and night for these years? And I like it.

Treat people."

"What if the Liu family doesn't mind like the Bai family and doesn't stop it?"

Zhou Liru's eyes lit up, and he said a little uncertainly: "Is their family willing?"

Man Bao knew Zhou Liru's attitude, so he waved his hand and said, "What's the problem? I'll ask Liu Shangshu."

Zhou Liru stared, his face turned red, and he whispered: "It's not a matter of even writing a word, why don't you ask Liu Shangshu?"

"The most basic question lies here. If you don't ask clearly, your horoscope will never have which one. That's the question." Man Bao said: "When you ask clearly, which one will you have?"

The two of them decide whether to add something to that."

Zhou Liru:……

Then Manbao was waiting to go to the court meeting.

As soon as the court meeting ended, she immediately chased Liu Shangshu out and called out to Liu Shangshu who was talking to two ministers from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, "Liu Shangshu, let's talk?"

The three elders turned to look at her.

Liu Shangshu was a little wary. Han Shangshu and Zhao Guogong, who had just been promoted to the Ministry of War, squinted their eyes and looked at her. They were also a little wary, "Master Zhou, aren't you only a doctor in the Imperial Medical Office?"

Do you still care about money?

The New Year is about to start, and all the departments that compete with them for money are enemies.

Man Bao glanced at them and said, "It's not a business matter, it's a private matter."

Han Shangshu and Zhao Guogong breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Shangshu became happy almost immediately and said immediately: "Okay, let's take a step to talk."

Han Shangshu reacted, grabbed him and said: "Liu Shangshu, you can't go back on your promise. I will write to your majesty at the next court meeting."

Liu Shangshu pulled out his sleeves forcefully, "I promise you anything, aren't we discussing it, and I am not the only one who has the final say on the money for the treasury. It needs to be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Menxia, ​​you know?"

, if you have the ability, go to Mr. Wei."

Wei Zhi was in charge of the provinces, and was responsible for reviewing the excerpts given to the six departments of Shangshu.

"You... you just let go. The mouth of the Yellow River must be dredged. There is little snow this year. Qin Tianjian said that there may be drought in the Central Plains this year. There will definitely be more rain in the next two years. You..."

Liu Shangshu had pulled up his sleeves and walked sideways, calling Zhou Man, "Come, come, Master Zhou, let's talk over there."

Man Bao glanced at Han Shangshu sympathetically and gave him a suggestion, "You might as well go to Mr. Wei with the fold. If the minister agrees, then the matter is half settled."

The remaining half has to be approved by the Ministry of Finance. Well, that's Liu Shangshu's job.

Han Shangshu glanced at Zhou Man indifferently, could he not know?

It was difficult to explain to Wei Zhi that he came to Liu Shangshu. In the same way, as long as Liu Shangshu agreed here, then the matter would be half done, and it would be much easier to report to his subordinates.

Man Bao caught Han Shangshu's gaze and slipped away.

Zhao Guogong grabbed Han Shangshu and said, "Okay, okay, the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days. I won't bring it up until I go to him for a drink during the Chinese New Year. It won't be of much use to mention it now."

Han Shangshu could only give up, and then frowned, "What does Zhou Man want to do with Lao Liu?"

Duke Zhao Guo left with his hands behind his back, "Who knows, it's just not official business anyway."

Liu Shangshu also believes that as the Chinese New Year is approaching, that is, the beginning of spring is approaching, and the new year is approaching, the money in the treasury will be divided again. There have been so many people coming to him recently that he only needs to see a movie

The chief officer subconsciously felt his back tense, they were all coming to him to ask for money.

Liu Shangshu and Zhou Man hid under a white marble bridge, leaning on the bridge and whispering, "Master Zhou, thank you for the rescue."

Man Bao: "No, not so..."
