Seven years later.
In the square of Sanshui Town, a group of children were playing Trojan horses, and beside them there were many grandfathers and old ladies playing chess while waving fans.
They laughed and watched the children playing.
Deng Xiaoniang and Yuanshi were sitting at a stone table, laughing and eating melon seeds.
Five of the children playing around have very similar facial features.
Bai Chaolu was in front of the graffiti board, holding a piece of charcoal and drawing.
The five children above looked exactly like herself and the children beside her, vivid and vivid.
The children watching nearby all let out exclamations of exclamation.
"The eldest daughter of the Bai family is really good at painting. It's no wonder that Mr. Wen came to visit her and wanted to accept her as his apprentice."
"Master Bai can teach children, and the second lady is also a talented woman. She plays the guqin and makes the birds listen."
"I heard that Third Young Master will take the scientific examination this year, right?"
"I heard that Mr. Guan in the town said that with his talent and learning, there is nothing much to teach him. After all, the Third Young Master has always been disciplined by Mr. Bai himself."
"Then if the young master passes the exam, will the Bai family no longer be able to open a pharmacy?"
"You can't, right? The young master is not a businessman himself, and the pharmacy is not considered a businessman either!"
"Oh, I don't know." The person who spoke looked worried.
Everyone hopes that the young master will pass the exam, but they are also afraid that one day he will become an official and all the Bai family's property will change hands.
After all, let alone small towns, there are a lot of people working in the Bai family's industry in the entire county.
Some are responsible for growing medicinal materials and other field work in the mountains.
Some work in drug stores.
Moreover, Bai Family Pharmacy is also willing to purchase medicinal materials grown by nearby villagers, and even sends people to teach them how to grow them.
If you really don't know how to raise seedlings, you can still spend money to buy seedlings from the Bai family.
Not only men, women can also do many jobs.
The medicines in the pharmacy are sold all over the mainland, and the demand is large. They don't have to worry about one day suddenly running out of work.
Growing medicinal materials does not require a field, and it does not affect their ability to grow food, so now everyone finally has some money in their pockets in addition to their daily expenses.
The person chatting next to him laughed, "It's too early for us to think about this now. Let's not mention that the young master has passed the boy's exam, and then he has to take the scholar's exam, and then he can take the exam.
It will take three years to finish the exam. In the past few years, everyone has saved more money just in case.
Moreover, I heard something from Head Guard Shi recently. I heard that there was chaos in the capital! "
"Is it about the seventeenth prince? The one he recognized from the people."
"Hey, we ordinary people don't understand what's going on in the imperial city, but if the seventeenth prince comes to power, it's actually not bad.
When there was a severe drought in the north the year before last, he used his own money to provide relief. "
At that time, everyone in the court was noisy about how to provide disaster relief. In fact, they were just excuses.
The seventeenth prince Ning Kang got angry and took over the job.
Disaster relief money was embezzled, and he killed many people without any scruples.
Of course the emperor was angry, because this kind of thing was a trouble for him, and those courtiers forced him to punish the seventeenth prince.
As a result, just when he was about to punish him, he received a letter from the Southern Chu Dynasty, which meant to support his grandson.
In an instant everyone turned off.
As word spread about the Seventeenth Prince's rectification and disaster relief efforts out of his own pocket, his reputation among the people also grew.
Not only were his brothers dissatisfied, the emperor was also dissatisfied.
After all, he was still alive, but the people only knew His Highness Seventeenth as their savior.
Nowadays, the fighting in the capital is fierce.
Several people added: "The Bai family also donated a lot of things at that time, especially Mr. Bai. He was the one who prepared the special medicine for the plague."
"So now those who survived in the north have given longevity cards to His Highness Seventeenth and our Master Bai Yongming."
"This...then His Highness Seventeenth is going to get angry? Let him be compared with a businessman."
"I heard from the cousin of my third aunt's son's classmate that the Bai family has a relationship with His Highness Seventeenth. I don't know if it's true or not."
"Hey, it's the same thing. The officials in the capital should be worried about the sky falling. As long as it's not a war, we can't be affected."
"That's the truth."
Next to the three siblings, there are three other brothers and sisters, who are good-looking and equally brightly dressed, with the same style of clothes as theirs.
"Master Bai really loves his sister and nephew. He also raised two young cousins and a young cousin."
"Isn't that right? They are almost like biological children. The children have a good relationship and have played together since they were young."
Bai Guihua and Musheng gave birth to three children.
The eldest son, the second daughter and the second son.
The eldest son's surname is Mu, and his daughter and younger son's surname is Bai.
After all, Musheng was the son-in-law who came to the house, so it was unreasonable for all the children to bear his surname.
Moreover, her surname is Bai, and she can also enjoy the glory of the Bai family, so her second daughter and youngest son entered the family tree of the Bai family village.
As for the eldest son, Musheng still had to leave a successor.
However, the three children have been staying in Baifu since they were young. Musheng often returns to the village to help manage the medicine shop.
When Bai Guihua had nothing to do, she went back to Baifu to chat with her three sisters-in-law, let the children play and go to class together.
With six children, Yunfei just had to open a kindergarten at home.
A room was specially set aside and decorated to look like a school.
Many subjects were taught by him personally.
Both boys and girls in their family are well-educated in both civil and military skills.
…………
As soon as the square was built, people nearby became accustomed to coming here to enjoy the cool air during the day and night.
There are big trees for shade and a pavilion.
There is a graffiti corner, as well as wooden horses and wooden slides, as well as fitness equipment such as horizontal bars.
There is a chess board carved on the stone table under the tree, so many old men come to play chess.
There is a Baijia teahouse next to it.
The tea is not very good, but it can quench your thirst. It is provided for free every day, and the seats are free to sit on.
If you want to drink good tea, you can also bring your own tea leaves to brew.
There is no one to supervise the place, only the lady in charge of the square’s hygiene comes to clean it in the evening and make tea in the morning for the guests to help themselves.
With Yunfei's reputation, no one would waste the tea in the teahouse.
People passing by can come in and sit for a while to rest on a hot day. They can also drink a glass of water to quench their thirst. Not to mention how convenient it is.
There are also toilets in the teahouse for men and women.
There is a large tank filled with water in the toilet. After using the toilet, fill it with water from a ladle and flush it, and the dirty things will be gone.
It is also lit with the kind of incense that is used in temples, which is much cleaner than the toilet at home.
Some people also liked it so much after seeing it that they found out which mason made it and immediately hired someone to go home and change the toilet.
The Bai family also donated money and built toilets in some corners of the town.
In order to clean the toilets, we also hired people to do the work, and the wages were paid by the Yamen.
At this time, five more jobs were solved.
Therefore, in today's Sanshui Town, as long as you are not lazy, you will never die of hunger.
Even if they grow some herbs, they can earn more income without preventing them from continuing to grow food.
