The Wheel-Turning Master

Lin Bai immediately agreed.

You can't hide. If you don't go today, you will have to go tomorrow.

They even came to the door in person.

"Since I picked dates today, let's bring some to Miss Pei." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"That's the truth, you have to be polite." Doctor Bai had a smile on his face, but the meaning of his words was not intimate.

"I'll pick up some good ones." Although Xiuxiu cares about money, she doesn't care about money, so she immediately immersed herself in picking up a lot of red dates.

After tying up the paper bag, the maid led the way, followed by Lin Bai and Xiuxiu.

"Sister, what are you doing recently?" Lin Bai asked with a smile while walking on the road.

The maid glanced down and said with a smile: "I'm sitting in the yamen, everyone in the county knows about it."

"What is the county lady busy with?" Lin Bai asked again.

The smile on the girl's face grew stronger, she stopped, looked Lin Bai up and down, and whispered: "Just mind yourself, Madam has her own arrangements, so I will be the one to deliver the message."

You're pimping her, right? When the time comes, she will enjoy the blessing, and you will drink the soup?

Since he couldn't find out anything from this kind of person, Lin Bai kept his mouth shut.

Soon we arrived at the county government office and entered through the back courtyard, with the maid leading the way.

It's the pavilion again, and Pei Ning is still wearing the same green dress.

He held a sword in his hand and sat on a stone bench. There were tea and fruit snacks on the stone table.

Arriving in front of him, the maid bowed Yingying and stepped away.

"Come!" Pei Ning waved to Xiuxiu, not even looking at Lin Bai's salute.

Lin Bai didn't care, and stood beside her with his hands folded, only looking at Xiu Xiu without squinting.

"Uncle." Xiuxiu didn't call her sister this time. She held the paper bag and said timidly: "The dates you just picked are so crispy."

"Isn't it sweet?" Pei Ning took the paper bag with a smile, took Xiu Xiu's hand, "Sit down and talk."

"It's not as sweet as in previous years." Xiu Xiu was honest and kind, not as confident as she used to be in front of Lin Bai.

"It should be because of the heavy rain this year, the peaches and apricots are not very sweet." Pei Ning spoke softly and wiped the sweat from Xiu Xiu's forehead with her sleeves.

She has no handkerchief.

Xiuxiu suddenly tensed up and sat upright.

Lin Bai wanted to laugh. This girl was usually the most familiar and talkative, but for some reason, she seemed a little afraid of Pei Ning.

"Try this." Peining picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Xiuxiu.

Xiuxiu took it, opened her mouth, and looked at Lin Bai.

"Eat." Lin Bai said.

Xiuxiu started eating immediately.

Pei Ning had a smile on his face. Seeing this scene, he immediately glanced at Lin Bai displeased.

Lin Bai didn't dare to say a word, thinking that he was just competing for favor.

"Is Doctor Bai feeling better?" Pei Ning asked Lin Bai.

"My dear sir, I'm thinking about you. Mr. Bai still has a short cough. He will be fine in a few days." Lin Bai handed over his hand.

"Just take care of me."

Pei Ning nodded, smiled suddenly, and asked: "You are not young anymore, why haven't you married yet?"

Free, right?

Lin Bai bowed his hands again and said, "My family is poor and I have no money. How can I dare to marry a wife?"

"What's so hard about this?"

Pei Ning smiled smartly and continued: "I visited the Xue family a few days ago. There is a legitimate daughter in his family. She has a beautiful heart and a beautiful face. She was born into wealth and is rare to be reasonable. I think she is a virtuous person. As a helper, how about I be the matchmaker?”

Lin Bai felt a headache and quickly replied: "It's not a blessing to be a weed in the countryside."

"Uncle, cough, uncle," Xiuxiu took a sip of tea and asked curiously, "Are you married?"

Pei Ning reached out and brushed the sesame seeds from the corner of Xiuxiu's mouth, shook her head and said with a smile, "I will never marry in this life."

"How can you do it if you don't get married?" Xiu Xiu frowned, as if she couldn't understand, "If you don't get married, you can't have children. If you don't have children, who will take care of you in old age? When the time comes, you won't be able to walk, and there will be no one to take care of you. Tea and water.”

Xiuxiu has lived in a small county town all year round, has a narrow vision, and thinks about taking care of Dr. Bai every day, so she feels that it is natural to raise children to provide for him in old age.

"The old man can't walk..." Pei Ning seemed to be touched by these words, shaking his head slightly and saying: "No. You need help to walk, so what's the point of living? If that happens, I will never will live."

When Lin Bai heard these decisive words, he thought to himself that the word "Ning" in her heart was indeed the "Ning" that means she would rather be broken than broken!

Xiuxiu seemed to understand but not quite.

"My lord, if nothing happens, we will go back first." Lin Bai said goodbye.

"You go first." Peining waved his hand and said, "I still have some medical questions and I want to ask Xiuxiu for advice."

Didn’t you talk about some herbal medicine before? Are you now discussing medical science? Lin Bai didn't believe it at all.

But Pei Ning's vision was really cruel, and she spotted Xiu Xiu's bad habit of "being a good teacher".

Sure enough, Xiuxiu became more energetic and said solemnly: "Ask you, I will teach you." She also pointed at Lin Bai and said: "I taught him to identify herbal medicines and feel his pulse before. He called me Xiuxiu. Pharmacist! Now he can even do gynecology."

"..." Lin Bai was speechless.

But it doesn't hurt to keep Xiu Xiu, even a blind person can see that Pei Ning likes Xiu Xiu.

Pei Ning couldn't help but look at Lin Bai with laughter, the meaning in his eyes was obvious: You are really good at coaxing children.

"Then I'll leave first and pick you up again in the evening." Lin Bai saluted Pei Ning.

"I know the road, no need to pick me up." Xiuxiu said confidently.

"I'll send her back, don't worry." Pei Ning smiled on her face, without looking at Lin Bai, and just continued: "I have something to do in the next two days, so I'm afraid I won't have time to see Xiu Xiu. I'm too busy Talk to her for a while."

Busy? Isn't it busy to be in the yamen recently?

Lin Bai excused himself and went back the same way.

When he walked out of the small garden and approached the back door of the county yamen, he saw someone waiting.

It was Ren Qiaoyun and the pretty maid.

It was a good opportunity to find out.

"Sister." Lin Bai was very sweet.

Ren Qiaoyun winked, and the maid glanced at Lin Bai and went to keep watch.

"Didn't I ask you to come and play from time to time? Why didn't you come for several days?" Ren Qiaoyun was slightly unhappy.

"It's really because the clinic is too busy. Although I miss you very much, I really can't get away." Lin Bai refused helplessly.

"Bring Miss Xiuxiu here more often in the future, so you can become familiar with her." Ren Qiaoyun smiled, and her brows were immediately filled with love. She asked softly, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do I feel that you have become paler?"

"I guess you got it in the clinic." Lin Bai casually evaded the question and asked, "I just heard Miss Pei say that she will be busy in the next two days. What is she busy with? Is there anything I can help with?"

"I'm afraid you can't help. You know that guy named Jiang? He's dead! I don't know which bastard killed him on the way."

Ren Qiaoyun didn't have a trace of sadness in her words, "The day my brother died, I knew he was a silver-plated gun head. He didn't allow the body to be collected, saying that he wanted to find the murderer's trace. Bullshit!"

Then why did you go to bed with him? Lin Bai was shocked and said, "Brother Jiang died? How long ago? I think he was a handsome man. Alas, what a pity..."

"I found it a long time ago, but Miss Pei didn't spread it." Ren Qiaoyun said again.

"Miss Pei wants to investigate it strictly?" Lin Bai asked.

"What are you investigating? Miss Pei is so annoyed with him that she doesn't want to care."

Ren Qiaoyun looked around and whispered, "Miss Pei said that Elder Tong is coming, and he brought a lot of people with him, and he vowed to find the murderer."

Lin Bai nodded, prevaricated for a long time, and finally left.

On the way back, he felt something was wrong.

Although Pei Ning was a bit ruthless, he was meticulous and methodical. Why would he tell Ren Qiaoyun about the important matters of the sect?

She clearly looked down on this coquettish woman. She knew that I had hooked up with Ren Qiaoyun... Could it be that Pei Ning deliberately let me know?

To tell me to be honest recently?

"Am I not honest enough?" Lin Bai said to himself.
