170 Threat
"Don't you say you don't like to come to my yard?"
Qin Shisan glanced at Bai Fu who was drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed, put down his pen, walked to the side to wipe his hands, and then sat aside.
Bai Fu had something on his mind and didn't want to answer, so he directly asked about an irrelevant topic:
"Hey, you're almost eighteen, isn't your fiancée in Yuandu urging you to go back and get married?"
Qin Shisan once slipped the tongue and mentioned New Year's gifts from his fiancée's family before the Chinese New Year, but he seemed unwilling to go into details, and Bai Fu didn't ask, so he didn't know much about it.
Hearing that Qin Shisan just paused, he glanced over with a dissatisfied expression.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Why do you look at me like that? I'm just curious."
Bai Fu pretended to be relaxed and said, "I heard that a man in Daye Country who is eighteen years old will be punished and his family members will be punished, and his property will also be confiscated?"
The corners of Qin Shisan's lips curled up ironically, as if disdainful, "So what?"
Bai Fu: "I heard that the wedding is quite complicated. I see that there seems to be no movement on your side. As a friend, I am worried for you."
Qin Shisan took a sip of tea, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
Bai Fu noticed that Qin Shisan was very resistant to talking about it, but she didn't intend to stop there.
"What method? Speaking of it, I also refer to it. It would be too bad to be punished."
Qin Shisan smiled for no reason, "I want to see who dares to punish me."
Bai Fu looked at Qin Shisan thoughtfully, and nodded:
"Yes, I think so too! Marriage is personal freedom, how can you force people like this! Tell me, what method are you going to use to escape this disaster?"
Qin Shisan wanted to say something, but when he was interrupted by Bai Fu, he realized something, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated.
"You're not like me," he said.
This time it was Bai Fu's turn to look complicated, and asked with a frown:
"Is it the difference between the kind of scholars you mentioned and those who don't?"
Qin Shisan pursed his lips and didn't answer, with a ghostly look on his face that I have a secret, but I can't share it with you.
"Don't talk about dragging it down, what kind of mystery do you do every day?" Bai Fu rolled his eyes, but he didn't stop talking:
"If it was said that the population was sparse ten years ago, it was a last resort, but now that the population is prosperous and the country is prosperous and the people are safe, there is no need for marriage to be as urgent as before. Isn't there no objection?"
This is Bai Fu's heartfelt words.
In the past, this regulation was reasonable, but now that time has passed and social fundamentals have changed a lot, it is time for the policy to be loosened.
Qin Shisan was silent.
Objection, of course there is.
The year before last, the Regent established a talent selection system, promising that the selected talents, regardless of gender, would be exempt from forced marriage.
Because the law of forced marriage was established by the first emperor, the regent was strongly opposed by the ministers when he put forward his idea at the court meeting, but the regent did not hesitate to annoy the people and insisted on implementing the new regulations.
However, the progress of the new regulations does not seem to be going smoothly. Many states and counties cooperated perfunctorily, so it did not cause too much splash.
Qin Shisan's father and mother were responsible for these unsatisfactory situations, Qin Shisan didn't feel the need to tell Bai Fu about this.
"Who dares to object to the rules set by the late emperor?" Qin Shisan snorted lightly.
God is everywhere.
Bai Fu sighed leisurely.
Qin Shisan looked over.
"What happened to you today?"
"I'm worrying about the important things in my life." Bai Fu said helplessly, "I just realized that not being married is actually a serious crime."
just got it?
Qin Shisan paused, and looked at Bai Fu strangely, "I told you to read more."
"stop."
Bai Fu smelled the smell of long-winded speeches, and made a pause gesture in time, and said weakly:
"I really don't want to hear this today."
Qin Shisan: "."
Say it like you used to love listening to it.
The two fell silent like this.
Bai Fu was in a daze at the moment, cursing the late Emperor in his heart for a while, and digesting the information he received today.
Of course, the most thoughtful thing was Mr. Fei's proposal.
Sounds like it might work.
And it was the other party who brought it up first, which saved her the trouble of convincing others.
Let's keep it as a guarantee for the time being.
But before that, she still needs to find other breakthroughs. After all, marriage is not a child's play, and a wrong step may lead to a wrong step.
As I thought about it, my train of thought went a bit awry——
Mr. Fei said that he is cold-hearted, which is really a surprise.
Regardless of whether he is cold-hearted or not, it should be true that he has no extra emotions towards her, otherwise he would not have said those words so calmly.
It's not that she is so narcissistic that she thinks Mr. Fei should have something for her, but that Xiao Si always misleads her, causing her to think a little more unconsciously. Oh, now that I think about it, I feel a little ashamed and panicked. What's going on?
Bai Fu patted his face.
Smelly little thoughts.
Speaking of which, she actually doesn't have much emotion towards Mr. Fei, at most, she looks at him occasionally with the eyes of admiring the handsome guy, and feels a little grateful to him, and most of the time it is the same as watching Luo Jin, Qin Shisan and the others, okay? .
After a while, Qin Shisan spoke again:
"You still have a year to go, so you don't need to worry so much, and since you like doing business so much, it would be nice for Miss Huang to follow."
"Now you are enlightened." Bai Fu came back to his senses, pouted.
Originally thought that Qin Shisan would look down on Dao Chimen, but unexpectedly, he persuaded her to accept it.
Qin Shisan didn't understand, what does this have to do with being enlightened or not?
In the past, the houses of merchants could not participate in the scientific examination. There are many merchants who are willing to continue the incense in this way, and it is not a special case.
Huang Qiuyang said a few days ago that he was entrusted by his second uncle to match Mr. Bai and his sister, but unfortunately he couldn't find a way, so he asked him if he could help.
"The Huang family said that the girl really loves you, and the girl's parents also value your talents. If you marry into the Huang family, not only will you not be inferior to others, but you will also be reused, and your own business will not be delayed. I think , if you are not ready to study for the science exam, you can consider it."
Qin Shisan said seriously.
amount.
Bai Fu lifted his eyelids.
She really wanted to say that the Huang family is really powerful.
Not only did they investigate her shops and whereabouts clearly, but also persuaded Qin Shisan to help——
The Huang family is also interested.
"I heard that you have met that girl before, and she gave you medicine?" Qin Shisan continued, "Brother Huang said that girl offered that bottle of medicine as a treasure, which makes everyone who looks like a brother jealous."
"a ha ha ha!"
Bai Fu smirked, "It sounds like there are quite a few wonderful people in the Huang family."
The younger sister is affectionate, the parents are sensible, and the elder brother is a gentleman, Bai Fu suddenly thought, if she were a man, maybe she would really consider it.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.
"You don't understand." Bai Fu sighed, "You also help me to pass on a message to others. I accept their kindness. I thank them for their consideration. But I really can't accept this marriage. Accepting it is not a marriage, but an enmity."
He has conveyed the same words countless times, but unfortunately it doesn't work.
What if it is useful to use Qin Shisan's mouth to talk about it?
"How do you say that?" Qin Shisan asked puzzled.
Bai Fu waved his hand.
"Don't ask. If you ask, you can't say it. You should help me think of a way to avoid being punished. Hey, you just said who dares to punish you. Who are you referring to?"
The topic went back again.
Qin Shisan hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, he said:
"The regent exempted some people from getting married for his own sake. If he is so lax about self-discipline, don't blame others for taking advantage of the loophole."
The first batch of people who took part in the special scientific examination were almost all members of the regent's faction. There had long been rumors that the regent had created this special scientific examination for them.
Can the Regent call the shots?
Bai Fu's eyes lit up, and he asked:
"Whose marriage has the Regent exempted?"
Bai Fu's expression made Qin Shisan frown, why did he feel that Xiao Bai's expression just now seemed to say that it's great, I'm saved!
how is this possible.
Qin Shisan shook off this thought, and said lightly:
"Naturally the one who supports him."
Oh.
So if you support the regent, you can avoid marriage, Bai Fu's mind instantly came alive.
As a man, she saved the Prince Regent, and even donated oil cannons to the Prince Regent, which is considered a form of support, right?
如果
Ah, no no no.
In this way, her murder weapon might be exposed.
Avoiding marriage but causing trouble, this deal is not worthwhile.
No no no.
Bai Fu shook his head in frustration.
Qin Shisan's voice continued, but Bai Fu was not in the mood to listen.
"Hey"
Bai Fu interrupted him, "Then how do you plan to take advantage of this loophole?"
"Don't worry about that."
Qin Shisan doesn't want to continue this topic, after all, his method cannot be copied by Bai Fu, but Bai Fu doesn't intend to let him go:
"It's about your family and your life. No matter it's not good, do you say it or not? If you don't say it, you may lose my friend."
Seeing that Bai Fu was in a hurry, Qin Shisan had no choice but to compromise, but changed the method--
"The Prince Regent conducted a special scientific examination. The top three in each state can be exempted from forced marriages. Unfortunately, you don't like reading, so it's useless to tell you."
After a pause, "But even if you study, you don't have to have too much hope. Now this special examination is useless. I don't know if it will be taken this year."
Tell me why it doesn't work?
It is very useful!
Bai Fu automatically ignored Qin Shisan's words of contempt, and instead asked the question he was most concerned about.
"The regent's position is high and powerful, and the rules he made are half an imperial decree, so how can they be in vain?"
with a snap.
It was the sound of Qin Shisan slamming the teacup on the table.
The tea splashed out and wet Qin Shisan's hands, but Qin Shisan didn't seem to notice, staring at Bai Fu angrily.
Bai Fu was puzzled and looked at him with a frown.
"What are you crazy about?"
Qin Shisan looked at Bai Fu, and said word by word:
"The regent is not His Majesty, how can his rules be equivalent to the imperial decree? Who did you listen to?"
Bai Fu: "."
It's all her fault.
She forgot that Qin Shisan, like his father, was a staunch supporter of orthodoxy. Although what she said was true, in the eyes of supporters, it might be treason.
During this period of time, he and Master Qin had been arguing too much. Bai Fu had rich experience, and when he saw this, he resolutely gave up the debate and took a handkerchief to help Qin Shisan wipe his hands and the table.
"Yes, yes, I am the one who speaks out loud, and I also hear it from hearsay, so don't bother with me, a person who doesn't study."
Qin Shisan's expression eased slightly.
"The regent is just a prince. Back then, he was only appointed in danger, but now he is greedy for power and has not returned to the orthodoxy. It is a big rebellion. How can such a villain be compared with His Majesty?!"
"Yes, yes, yes, what you said makes sense." Bai Fu gave him a thumbs up, and poured tea again, "Come on, drink some tea to quench your thirst, don't get angry with a villain, it's not worthwhile to get angry at yourself .”
Qin Shisan refused to answer.
"I know you don't believe in oracle bloodlines, and you only look at the pros and cons in everything, but the imperial power cannot be violated, you"
"I, Bai Fu, promise that not only will I not infringe upon the imperial power in this life, but I will also strive to be a good citizen and strive to contribute a small amount to the prosperity of the country!"
Bai Fu swore an oath with three little fingers, interrupting Qin Shisan's long speech.
Qin Shisan confirmed Bai Fu's sincere gaze, and then reached out to take the teacup, "Arguing right from wrong is a lesson to be taught."
Bai Fu squeezed out a bit of a smile.
"Thank you Master Qin for your compliment."
Bai Fu turned listlessly from Qin Shisan's courtyard back to his own, and went straight into Luo Jin and Xiao Liang's room.
Luo Jin was helping Xiao Liang with her homework, when she saw Bai Fu coming in like that, she was slightly taken aback.
"Why does Xiaobai seem to be in a bad mood?" He asked with concern.
Bai Fu slumped on the chair, with a sad face:
"Don't talk about it, Qin Shisan just gave me a lesson, so it's no wonder you're in good spirits."
Luo Jin understood and smiled.
"Master Qin must have been pissed off by you."
Bai Fu was embarrassed.
"A little bit, a little bit, Brother Luo, I want to ask you something."
Luo Jin signaled Bai Fu to speak casually.
"Why are Qin Shisan and his father so fond of admitting death and teaching others?"
Luo Jin smiled wryly.
"You can't say that, Master."
Bai Fu sighed, she didn't have to say anything against her will in front of Luo Jin, "You have also been taught to be pedantic by them, it's not good."
Luo Jin listened.
Bai Fu continued:
"Qin Shisan said that I only look at the advantages and disadvantages in everything, and ignore the orthodoxy. But what is orthodoxy? In my opinion, it is orthodoxy to benefit the country and the people. So what's wrong with only looking at the advantages and disadvantages in everything? I keep calling orthodoxy, but there is no This is a criterion for judging, who knows whether it is orthodox or crooked.”
Hearing the second half of the sentence, Luo Jin got up and closed the door and window.
"My lord, you can't say such nonsense," he said in a low voice.
Bai Fu shut up, she just wanted to complain, and she didn't intend to do anything, let alone cause trouble for herself, so she hurriedly changed the subject:
"If I find a seriously ill and widowed old man and recognize him as my father or mother, can I use filial piety as an excuse after he passes away and not marry?"
"I'm afraid it won't work." Luo Jin smiled wryly and shook his head, "You need blood relatives to do it."
Bai Fu rubbed his head irritably, and muttered softly:
"This doesn't work, those things don't work. Is it possible that you just married yourself casually? You didn't tell me earlier, it's almost time to tell me, where can I find a suitable one?"
Bai Fu didn't know the real birthday of this original body, so he asked Shen Sanjin to apply for a fake household registration according to his birthday and name in the last days. Now it's less than two months before she turns seventeen with her fake identity.
Luo Jin couldn't hear what she said, and thought she was worrying about the Huang family's marriage proposal, so he comforted her:
"In fact, there is no need to worry too much about the marriage of the Huang family. You still have a year to go, and you can take your time and choose a suitable marriage."
Bai Fu raised his eyelids and didn't want to speak.
There is still one year left for the male Bai Fu, and only one month for the female Bai Fu.
If you can't escape the hurdle of marriage as a man, then restoring your woman's status as soon as possible is a way that will not harm others or yourself.
In other words.
If the special imperial examination channel fails, within one month she will not only have to announce that she is a daughter, but also have to marry herself off.
Just think about it.
She Bai Fu had no chance of getting married in her previous two lives, not because of any unmarriageism of one kind or another.
She just doesn't think much about marriage, she can't talk about longing, and she can't talk about resistance, she just thinks that it's good to go with the fate.
Now that the wind of fate has not yet arrived, suddenly because of a broken rule, she is asked to marry in a hurry, not to mention cultivating a relationship, and she is not even given a chance to choose someone well, and she will not be happy to change anyone.
At night, when Xiaosi came to sleep, Bai Fu was still nestling on the beanbag and worrying.
Xiaosi smiled and squeezed over to sit down:
"Xiaobai, don't worry, just let my father help you."
help me?
Bai Fu cast a sideways glance at Xiao Si.
I don't know who is helping whom, but it's not easy to tell Xiao Si, so I just joked:
"You want a stepmother that much?"
Xiao Si moved closer to Bai Fu again.
"I just want you to be my stepmother, so you won't bully me." After a pause, he raised his head and glanced at Bai Fu, "It won't be bad for me if I have younger siblings in the future, right?"
Bai Fu was suddenly angry and funny--
This small-headed melon seed is quite long-term.
But your father is heartless and loveless, where are the younger brothers and sisters?
"You're thinking too much." Bai Fuxie glanced at Xiaosi, "I still prefer to be your older sister, and now I've found a way to escape marriage in a fair and honest manner, without your father's help, and I will go back to your father's kindness tomorrow."
Xiaosi: "!!!!!!"
On the second day, Bai Fu was going to go to the government office to inquire about the application for special scientific examinations, when he just walked to the door, he ran into the second master of the Zhang family who was wandering by the door.
"Bai Gongzi"
The second master looked at Bai Fu and saw his displeasure flashed across his face, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to please him:
"Can I go into the house and talk about it?"
Bai Fu glanced in the direction of An Ge'er with a puzzled expression on his face.
"I'm sorry, I have an urgent matter to go out today. If Mr. Zhang Er wants to talk about cooperation, I'm afraid he will return disappointed." She said sincerely.
As she spoke, she nodded in salute, and then walked towards An Ge'er.
Master Zhang Er was completely ignored, and his entire face turned black.
If the elder brother didn't go back and scold him, he didn't want to come to this bad luck!He has lowered his posture like this, and this girl is still throwing face at him!
After being scolded, he thought about it for a long time. He was just raising a concubine, and it was not such a big deal. His daughter-in-law chose to forgive him.
Why does this girl, an outsider, call him a scumbag, and still seem to keep it in her heart?
If Bai Fu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say: You think too much, it's really just that you don't like it.
"Bai Gongzi"
Seeing that Bai Fu was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly yelled.
Bai Fu didn't pause at all, and stepped on the horse stool.
"If Mr. Bai doesn't want to reveal his identity, I advise you to sit down and have a good talk with me." Master Zhang Er changed his flattery just now and said something meaningful.
Bai Fu didn't stop walking, as if he didn't hear it at all, he went straight into the carriage and put down the curtain with a stern face.
Brother An was very dedicated, not asking, not talking, not looking, he swung his whip and urged the horse to go, leaving the surprised-looking Master Zhang Er behind him.
Although he wasn't afraid of Mr. Zhang Er playing tricks, but just to be on the safe side, Bai Fu went to Shen Sanjin's place first.
So Shen Sanjin knew Bai Fu's identity as a woman without any precautions, and was so frightened that he almost choked to death with a sip of tea.
"Oh, you are trying to kill me!"
After a long time, after realizing that Bai Fu was not joking, Shen Sanjin jumped up from his chair and yelled angrily.
Bai Fu helped him put the overturned teacup upright, waited for Shen Sanjin for a while, and then said innocently and calmly:
"With Brother Sanjin's strength, how could he be killed by such a trivial matter. Besides, you didn't ask me if I was a man or a woman when I applied for household registration."
There are several levels of household registration in Daye State.
Aristocratic, good, merchant, slave, lowly.
Respectively correspond to aristocratic families, ordinary people, merchants, slaves, prostitutes and actors.
At that time, Shen Sanjin only asked her if she wanted to add some money to get a good registration, which would be more convenient than a business registration. Nowadays, many children of business registration do this, which is the default rule, and she agreed without thinking too much.
Shen Sanjin was so pissed off by this shameless sentence, he hugged the back of his head with one hand, with an expression on his face that I'm about to be pissed off by you:
"My great aunt, do I need to ask if it's male or female?"
Shen Sanjin held his forehead, trying to recall the first time he met Bai Fu, but found that he couldn't remember.
He only remembered that Bai Fu walked into his shop with bold steps, and meeting him was like a gangster's outrageous courtesy.
Who can tell him, how can there be such an unfeminine woman in the world?
Tired of explaining, Bai Fu spread his hands:
"Then what should I do? Things are already like this, you can't let me marry a woman and go home as a man, can you?"
Shen Sanjin rolled his eyes and looked at Bai Fu, and said in a strange way:
"You can find a woman who is also unwilling to marry and make do with it."
Bai Fo looked at Shen Sanjin with a foolish expression on his face.
"Did I say that I don't want to get married?"
Shen Sanjin nodded to indicate yes.
Bai Buddha choked.
She also couldn't remember whether she had misled Shen Sanjin in this way, so she could only explain:
"I mean, I'm still young and haven't considered this step. What if I want to get married again someday?"
You are young?
Shen Sanjin let out a sigh, expressing that he really couldn't agree with this reason.
I don't know where this honey juice self-confidence comes from.
Can you wake up?
Baifo still wanted to inquire about the registration of special scientific examinations, and he didn't have the heart to talk to Shen Sanjin, so she stood up and said:
"I'll trouble Brother Sanjin with this matter, the old rules for money are settled at the end of the month."
Shen Sanjin stared, quit!
"It's easy to apply for household registration. The state government has loopholes to exploit in order to collect more taxes. Changing household registration is not as easy as you think."
Bai Fu: "A pot of double happiness?"
Shen Sanjin clenched his teeth and did not let go.
Bai Fu: "Two pots?"
Shen Sanjin felt that he could still persevere.
Bai Fu: "Three pots, no more."
Shen Sanjin is a person who knows when enough is enough, with a face full of doubts:
"Forget it, forget it, I'm also responsible for this matter, I didn't ask you clearly whether it's a man or a woman, three pots are three pots."
Bai Fu smiled.
"Oh, by the way, someone threatened to expose my identity just now. Brother Sanjin, you'd better act quickly, lest you be passive if someone exposes you first."
Shen Sanjin: "."
(End of this chapter)
"Don't you say you don't like to come to my yard?"
Qin Shisan glanced at Bai Fu who was drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed, put down his pen, walked to the side to wipe his hands, and then sat aside.
Bai Fu had something on his mind and didn't want to answer, so he directly asked about an irrelevant topic:
"Hey, you're almost eighteen, isn't your fiancée in Yuandu urging you to go back and get married?"
Qin Shisan once slipped the tongue and mentioned New Year's gifts from his fiancée's family before the Chinese New Year, but he seemed unwilling to go into details, and Bai Fu didn't ask, so he didn't know much about it.
Hearing that Qin Shisan just paused, he glanced over with a dissatisfied expression.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Why do you look at me like that? I'm just curious."
Bai Fu pretended to be relaxed and said, "I heard that a man in Daye Country who is eighteen years old will be punished and his family members will be punished, and his property will also be confiscated?"
The corners of Qin Shisan's lips curled up ironically, as if disdainful, "So what?"
Bai Fu: "I heard that the wedding is quite complicated. I see that there seems to be no movement on your side. As a friend, I am worried for you."
Qin Shisan took a sip of tea, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
Bai Fu noticed that Qin Shisan was very resistant to talking about it, but she didn't intend to stop there.
"What method? Speaking of it, I also refer to it. It would be too bad to be punished."
Qin Shisan smiled for no reason, "I want to see who dares to punish me."
Bai Fu looked at Qin Shisan thoughtfully, and nodded:
"Yes, I think so too! Marriage is personal freedom, how can you force people like this! Tell me, what method are you going to use to escape this disaster?"
Qin Shisan wanted to say something, but when he was interrupted by Bai Fu, he realized something, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated.
"You're not like me," he said.
This time it was Bai Fu's turn to look complicated, and asked with a frown:
"Is it the difference between the kind of scholars you mentioned and those who don't?"
Qin Shisan pursed his lips and didn't answer, with a ghostly look on his face that I have a secret, but I can't share it with you.
"Don't talk about dragging it down, what kind of mystery do you do every day?" Bai Fu rolled his eyes, but he didn't stop talking:
"If it was said that the population was sparse ten years ago, it was a last resort, but now that the population is prosperous and the country is prosperous and the people are safe, there is no need for marriage to be as urgent as before. Isn't there no objection?"
This is Bai Fu's heartfelt words.

Bai Fu smelled the smell of long-winded speeches, and made a pause gesture in time, and said weakly:

Qin Shisan hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, he said:
"The regent exempted some people from getting married for his own sake. If he is so lax about self-discipline, don't blame others for taking advantage of the loophole."
The first batch of people who took part in the special scientific examination were almost all members of the regent's faction. There had long been rumors that the regent had created this special scientific examination for them.
Can the Regent call the shots?
Bai Fu's eyes lit up, and he asked:
"Whose marriage has the Regent exempted?"
Bai Fu's expression made Qin Shisan frown, why did he feel that Xiao Bai's expression just now seemed to say that it's great, I'm saved!
how is this possible.
Qin Shisan shook off this thought, and said lightly:
"Naturally the one who supports him."
Oh.
So if you support the regent, you can avoid marriage, Bai Fu's mind instantly came alive.
As a man, she saved the Prince Regent, and even donated oil cannons to the Prince Regent, which is considered a form of support, right?
如果
Ah, no no no.
In this way, her murder weapon might be exposed.
Avoiding marriage but causing trouble, this deal is not worthwhile.
No no no.
Bai Fu shook his head in frustration.
Qin Shisan's voice continued, but Bai Fu was not in the mood to listen.
"Hey"
Bai Fu interrupted him, "Then how do you plan to take advantage of this loophole?"
"Don't worry about that."
Qin Shisan doesn't want to continue this topic, after all, his method cannot be copied by Bai Fu, but Bai Fu doesn't intend to let him go:
"It's about your family and your life. No matter it's not good, do you say it or not? If you don't say it, you may lose my friend."
Seeing that Bai Fu was in a hurry, Qin Shisan had no choice but to compromise, but changed the method--
"The Prince Regent conducted a special scientific examination. The top three in each state can be exempted from forced marriages. Unfortunately, you don't like reading, so it's useless to tell you."
After a pause, "But even if you study, you don't have to have too much hope. Now this special examination is useless. I don't know if it will be taken this year."
Tell me why it doesn't work?
It is very useful!
Bai Fu automatically ignored Qin Shisan's words of contempt, and instead asked the question he was most concerned about.
"The regent's position is high and powerful, and the rules he made are half an imperial decree, so how can they be in vain?"
with a snap.
It was the sound of Qin Shisan slamming the teacup on the table.
The tea splashed out and wet Qin Shisan's hands, but Qin Shisan didn't seem to notice, staring at Bai Fu angrily.
Bai Fu was puzzled and looked at him with a frown.
"What are you crazy about?"
Qin Shisan looked at Bai Fu, and said word by word:
"The regent is not His Majesty, how can his rules be equivalent to the imperial decree? Who did you listen to?"
Bai Fu: "."
It's all her fault.
She forgot that Qin Shisan, like his father, was a staunch supporter of orthodoxy. Although what she said was true, in the eyes of supporters, it might be treason.
During this period of time, he and Master Qin had been arguing too much. Bai Fu had rich experience, and when he saw this, he resolutely gave up the debate and took a handkerchief to help Qin Shisan wipe his hands and the table.
"Yes, yes, I am the one who speaks out loud, and I also hear it from hearsay, so don't bother with me, a person who doesn't study."
Qin Shisan's expression eased slightly.
"The regent is just a prince. Back then, he was only appointed in danger, but now he is greedy for power and has not returned to the orthodoxy. It is a big rebellion. How can such a villain be compared with His Majesty?!"
"Yes, yes, yes, what you said makes sense." Bai Fu gave him a thumbs up, and poured tea again, "Come on, drink some tea to quench your thirst, don't get angry with a villain, it's not worthwhile to get angry at yourself .”
Qin Shisan refused to answer.
"I know you don't believe in oracle bloodlines, and you only look at the pros and cons in everything, but the imperial power cannot be violated, you"
"I, Bai Fu, promise that not only will I not infringe upon the imperial power in this life, but I will also strive to be a good citizen and strive to contribute a small amount to the prosperity of the country!"
Bai Fu swore an oath with three little fingers, interrupting Qin Shisan's long speech.
Qin Shisan confirmed Bai Fu's sincere gaze, and then reached out to take the teacup, "Arguing right from wrong is a lesson to be taught."
Bai Fu squeezed out a bit of a smile.
"Thank you Master Qin for your compliment."
Bai Fu turned listlessly from Qin Shisan's courtyard back to his own, and went straight into Luo Jin and Xiao Liang's room.
Luo Jin was helping Xiao Liang with her homework, when she saw Bai Fu coming in like that, she was slightly taken aback.
"Why does Xiaobai seem to be in a bad mood?" He asked with concern.
Bai Fu slumped on the chair, with a sad face:
"Don't talk about it, Qin Shisan just gave me a lesson, so it's no wonder you're in good spirits."
Luo Jin understood and smiled.
"Master Qin must have been pissed off by you."
Bai Fu was embarrassed.
"A little bit, a little bit, Brother Luo, I want to ask you something."
Luo Jin signaled Bai Fu to speak casually.
"Why are Qin Shisan and his father so fond of admitting death and teaching others?"
Luo Jin smiled wryly.
"You can't say that, Master."
Bai Fu sighed, she didn't have to say anything against her will in front of Luo Jin, "You have also been taught to be pedantic by them, it's not good."
Luo Jin listened.
Bai Fu continued:
"Qin Shisan said that I only look at the advantages and disadvantages in everything, and ignore the orthodoxy. But what is orthodoxy? In my opinion, it is orthodoxy to benefit the country and the people. So what's wrong with only looking at the advantages and disadvantages in everything? I keep calling orthodoxy, but there is no This is a criterion for judging, who knows whether it is orthodox or crooked.”
Hearing the second half of the sentence, Luo Jin got up and closed the door and window.
"My lord, you can't say such nonsense," he said in a low voice.
Bai Fu shut up, she just wanted to complain, and she didn't intend to do anything, let alone cause trouble for herself, so she hurriedly changed the subject:
"If I find a seriously ill and widowed old man and recognize him as my father or mother, can I use filial piety as an excuse after he passes away and not marry?"
"I'm afraid it won't work." Luo Jin smiled wryly and shook his head, "You need blood relatives to do it."
Bai Fu rubbed his head irritably, and muttered softly:
"This doesn't work, those things don't work. Is it possible that you just married yourself casually? You didn't tell me earlier, it's almost time to tell me, where can I find a suitable one?"
Bai Fu didn't know the real birthday of this original body, so he asked Shen Sanjin to apply for a fake household registration according to his birthday and name in the last days. Now it's less than two months before she turns seventeen with her fake identity.
Luo Jin couldn't hear what she said, and thought she was worrying about the Huang family's marriage proposal, so he comforted her:
"In fact, there is no need to worry too much about the marriage of the Huang family. You still have a year to go, and you can take your time and choose a suitable marriage."
Bai Fu raised his eyelids and didn't want to speak.
There is still one year left for the male Bai Fu, and only one month for the female Bai Fu.
If you can't escape the hurdle of marriage as a man, then restoring your woman's status as soon as possible is a way that will not harm others or yourself.
In other words.
If the special imperial examination channel fails, within one month she will not only have to announce that she is a daughter, but also have to marry herself off.
Just think about it.
She Bai Fu had no chance of getting married in her previous two lives, not because of any unmarriageism of one kind or another.
She just doesn't think much about marriage, she can't talk about longing, and she can't talk about resistance, she just thinks that it's good to go with the fate.
Now that the wind of fate has not yet arrived, suddenly because of a broken rule, she is asked to marry in a hurry, not to mention cultivating a relationship, and she is not even given a chance to choose someone well, and she will not be happy to change anyone.
At night, when Xiaosi came to sleep, Bai Fu was still nestling on the beanbag and worrying.
Xiaosi smiled and squeezed over to sit down:
"Xiaobai, don't worry, just let my father help you."
help me?
Bai Fu cast a sideways glance at Xiao Si.
I don't know who is helping whom, but it's not easy to tell Xiao Si, so I just joked:
"You want a stepmother that much?"
Xiao Si moved closer to Bai Fu again.
"I just want you to be my stepmother, so you won't bully me." After a pause, he raised his head and glanced at Bai Fu, "It won't be bad for me if I have younger siblings in the future, right?"
Bai Fu was suddenly angry and funny--
This small-headed melon seed is quite long-term.
But your father is heartless and loveless, where are the younger brothers and sisters?
"You're thinking too much." Bai Fuxie glanced at Xiaosi, "I still prefer to be your older sister, and now I've found a way to escape marriage in a fair and honest manner, without your father's help, and I will go back to your father's kindness tomorrow."
Xiaosi: "!!!!!!"
On the second day, Bai Fu was going to go to the government office to inquire about the application for special scientific examinations, when he just walked to the door, he ran into the second master of the Zhang family who was wandering by the door.
"Bai Gongzi"
The second master looked at Bai Fu and saw his displeasure flashed across his face, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to please him:
"Can I go into the house and talk about it?"
Bai Fu glanced in the direction of An Ge'er with a puzzled expression on his face.
"I'm sorry, I have an urgent matter to go out today. If Mr. Zhang Er wants to talk about cooperation, I'm afraid he will return disappointed." She said sincerely.
As she spoke, she nodded in salute, and then walked towards An Ge'er.
Master Zhang Er was completely ignored, and his entire face turned black.
If the elder brother didn't go back and scold him, he didn't want to come to this bad luck!He has lowered his posture like this, and this girl is still throwing face at him!
After being scolded, he thought about it for a long time. He was just raising a concubine, and it was not such a big deal. His daughter-in-law chose to forgive him.
Why does this girl, an outsider, call him a scumbag, and still seem to keep it in her heart?
If Bai Fu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say: You think too much, it's really just that you don't like it.
"Bai Gongzi"
Seeing that Bai Fu was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly yelled.
Bai Fu didn't pause at all, and stepped on the horse stool.
"If Mr. Bai doesn't want to reveal his identity, I advise you to sit down and have a good talk with me." Master Zhang Er changed his flattery just now and said something meaningful.
Bai Fu didn't stop walking, as if he didn't hear it at all, he went straight into the carriage and put down the curtain with a stern face.
Brother An was very dedicated, not asking, not talking, not looking, he swung his whip and urged the horse to go, leaving the surprised-looking Master Zhang Er behind him.
Although he wasn't afraid of Mr. Zhang Er playing tricks, but just to be on the safe side, Bai Fu went to Shen Sanjin's place first.
So Shen Sanjin knew Bai Fu's identity as a woman without any precautions, and was so frightened that he almost choked to death with a sip of tea.
"Oh, you are trying to kill me!"
After a long time, after realizing that Bai Fu was not joking, Shen Sanjin jumped up from his chair and yelled angrily.
Bai Fu helped him put the overturned teacup upright, waited for Shen Sanjin for a while, and then said innocently and calmly:
"With Brother Sanjin's strength, how could he be killed by such a trivial matter. Besides, you didn't ask me if I was a man or a woman when I applied for household registration."
There are several levels of household registration in Daye State.
Aristocratic, good, merchant, slave, lowly.
Respectively correspond to aristocratic families, ordinary people, merchants, slaves, prostitutes and actors.
At that time, Shen Sanjin only asked her if she wanted to add some money to get a good registration, which would be more convenient than a business registration. Nowadays, many children of business registration do this, which is the default rule, and she agreed without thinking too much.
Shen Sanjin was so pissed off by this shameless sentence, he hugged the back of his head with one hand, with an expression on his face that I'm about to be pissed off by you:
"My great aunt, do I need to ask if it's male or female?"
Shen Sanjin held his forehead, trying to recall the first time he met Bai Fu, but found that he couldn't remember.
He only remembered that Bai Fu walked into his shop with bold steps, and meeting him was like a gangster's outrageous courtesy.
Who can tell him, how can there be such an unfeminine woman in the world?
Tired of explaining, Bai Fu spread his hands:
"Then what should I do? Things are already like this, you can't let me marry a woman and go home as a man, can you?"
Shen Sanjin rolled his eyes and looked at Bai Fu, and said in a strange way:
"You can find a woman who is also unwilling to marry and make do with it."
Bai Fo looked at Shen Sanjin with a foolish expression on his face.
"Did I say that I don't want to get married?"
Shen Sanjin nodded to indicate yes.
Bai Buddha choked.
She also couldn't remember whether she had misled Shen Sanjin in this way, so she could only explain:
"I mean, I'm still young and haven't considered this step. What if I want to get married again someday?"
You are young?
Shen Sanjin let out a sigh, expressing that he really couldn't agree with this reason.
I don't know where this honey juice self-confidence comes from.
Can you wake up?
Baifo still wanted to inquire about the registration of special scientific examinations, and he didn't have the heart to talk to Shen Sanjin, so she stood up and said:
"I'll trouble Brother Sanjin with this matter, the old rules for money are settled at the end of the month."
Shen Sanjin stared, quit!
"It's easy to apply for household registration. The state government has loopholes to exploit in order to collect more taxes. Changing household registration is not as easy as you think."
Bai Fu: "A pot of double happiness?"
Shen Sanjin clenched his teeth and did not let go.
Bai Fu: "Two pots?"
Shen Sanjin felt that he could still persevere.
Bai Fu: "Three pots, no more."
Shen Sanjin is a person who knows when enough is enough, with a face full of doubts:
"Forget it, forget it, I'm also responsible for this matter, I didn't ask you clearly whether it's a man or a woman, three pots are three pots."
Bai Fu smiled.
"Oh, by the way, someone threatened to expose my identity just now. Brother Sanjin, you'd better act quickly, lest you be passive if someone exposes you first."
Shen Sanjin: "."
