The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

When they returned to the capital, Third Aunt said to Bai Zhaozhao happily, "Zhaozhao, you are amazing. I have been sleeping very well recently, and even my appetite has improved a lot! I went to a tea party with several ladies today, and they all praised me for my improved complexion! They asked me if I had any secret recipe?"

Bai Zhaozhao also smiled and nodded: "Did Third Aunt mention Jishidiang's tranquilizing soup?"

"Of course they did! You don't know, at that time, they immediately ordered someone to buy it! Oh, by the way, Zhaozhao, your sixth grandfather wrote to say that a few outsiders were asking about you a few days ago, and asked you not to return to the village recently. If there is really something, someone will come to the capital to look for you, so that your third uncle can deal with it."

"Oh? Okay, I understand, Aunt San."

The Sixth Grandpa that Third Aunt mentioned is the clan leader. He is the sixth among his cousins.

The calming soup that Bai Zhaozhao mentioned was the prescription that she had sold directly to Jishidiang before. There was no other way. She had never thought that it would cost five hundred taels of silver to forge a soft sword. She didn't even have that much cash!

After thinking about it, I decided that selling prescriptions would be more appropriate, as selling medicinal materials would require making up their sources.

These days, Jishidiang in the city has become very popular. With the support of the prefect, it has cannibalized the Fang family's main industry at an astonishing speed and directly controlled the entire Linyang County's medicinal materials trade.

The 200-wen golden wound medicine was in short supply, so Jishidiang had to follow Bai Zhaozhao's advice and limit its sales per day. At the same time, the Bai family's workshop was expanded by two times.

The common people didn't feel anything special, but many medical clinics and drug stores were affected, and even several large chambers of commerce were sighing. The Zhang family really made a big splash!

Some who were not convinced went to the Baiji Workshop in Hexi Village, but the reply they received was that the workshop would only supply Jishidiang within three years. Then, news came out that the golden wound medicine was losing money, which made many jealous businessmen confused and they began to study whether they could get a share of this huge broth.

Uncle Bai didn't care about all this. He was calculating the dividends he would get next month and planning how to renovate the abandoned garden next door where Bai Zhaozhao practiced martial arts.

Just when Bai Zhaozhao was about to go back to his room, he heard a quarrel in the study.

"How is this possible?" a strange voice asked.

"How is it impossible? Sister Zhao must be right!" This was Bai Hao's voice.

Bai Zhaozhao was a little curious. Who was in the study?

When she walked in, she saw a handsome young man, a little older than Bai Hao, dressed in student clothes, looking at her.

He asked in surprise: "Are you... Miss Zhao?"

Bai Zhaozhao also suddenly realized: "Are you Lin's cousin?"

Bai Lin, from the third branch of the Bai family, is the grandson of his third grandfather who had previously strived to develop the family school. He is the scholar who just passed the imperial examination this year, and he is the cousin that Bai Zhaozhao told Bai Hao that he would take the imperial examination this year.

Bai Lin was a little dazed. He remembered that when he paid homage to his fifth uncle's grandfather, Bai Zhaozhao was just a pretty girl. How come after not seeing her for more than a year, she had grown a lot and was naturally beautiful. She exuded the aura of a young girl.

He couldn't bear to blame her, so he asked softly, "Sister Zhao, why did you tell Bai Hao that you wanted to memorize these books?"

Bai Zhaozhao instantly understood what they were arguing about. It seemed that Bai Lin came to the provincial capital to prepare for the provincial examination in more than two months.

"Shh! Cousin Lin, keep your voice down!"

Bai Zhaozhao closed the study door with a mysterious look on her face. In her impression, Bai Lin was a talented boy. He could have taken the examination for a scholar last year, but was delayed due to illness. Many people said it was a pity at the time. It showed that he had a good reputation for talent, so Bai Lin was definitely not as easy to fool as Bai Hao.

Bai Lin was confused. Was Sister Zhao going to tell him a secret?

Sure enough, Bai Zhaozhao came up to him and said, "This year's examiners are Cui Xuezheng and Dr. Feng, did you know that?"

Bai Lin nodded: "Of course!"

"Then did you know that they don't get along?"

"I've heard of this."

“Cui Xuezheng is good at The Analects and The Doctrine of the Mean, while Dr. Feng likes Mencius the most, so in order to avoid bias, they will most likely ask questions from The Great Learning!”

"Ah?" Bai Lin was shocked by this strange logic. It seemed to make sense, but not much.

Bai Zhaozhao had no choice. This was the reason why the original book gave the title "The Great Learning".

She knew that Bai Lin would not believe it just like that, but he was the second place in this year's scholar examination and would not miss any possibility.

Sure enough, Bai Lin hesitated and said, "Then I'll take some time to memorize The Great Learning! As for Brother Hao, forget it, it's fine if he just goes through the motions."

"Yeah, cousin Lin is so amazing, he will definitely be admitted to high school this year!"

"Then I'll borrow Sister Zhao's good words!"

Bai Zhaozhao smiled with satisfaction. In fact, even if she hadn't received the letter from the clan leader, she had planned to stay in the city until after the provincial examination. She just didn't expect that Bai Lin would come to the city so early.

The next day.

A person who looked like a maid knocked on the door of Bai Mansion.

"The county lady wants to talk to my Zhaozhao?" Aunt Bai was very surprised to hear the purpose of the maid's visit.

"Yes, Madam Bai, the sedan chair is waiting at the entrance of the alley. Please pack up and go!"

Bai Zhaozhao calculated the time and realized that the county lady should have used up the previous bag of perfume powder, so she said cheerfully, "Wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes and then go with you."

After returning to the room, Bai Zhaozhao quickly took out some things from the space, changed his clothes, and set off.

In another courtyard.

The Princess of Qingyang County was getting angry at the embroiderers: "What's going on? Didn't I tell you that you must use the best brocade cloth to make this purse? Why are you using this snow satin?"

The nanny beside her quickly explained, "Please calm down, County Lady. This Linyang County is not like the palace. There are not so many good things here. The brocade will not be delivered for another two days. These embroiderers are just embroidering a few patterns with snow satin first and showing them to the County Lady to see which one she likes!"

"Hmph! All right, bring it here!"

The Princess of Qingyang County herself felt that she had been inexplicably angry for the past two days, even though she had been feeling much better in the past half month. At first she thought the imperial physician had changed the prescription, but later she found out that the incense powder had run out.

She specifically asked the imperial physician who followed her to look at the perfume powder, and they all said that it had a very good calming effect and was a very exquisite formula. It seemed that the young lady from the Bai family at the banquet was a person of real ability.

"County Lady, the people have been brought here!"

Bai Zhaozhao bowed: "Greetings, County Lady!"

The Princess of Qingyang County waved her hands in an upset manner: "Okay, you guys go down, I want to talk to this young lady alone."

"Yes."

After the maids and maids left, the Princess of Qingyang County looked at Bai Zhaozhao carefully: "I heard that you know medicine? You're pretty good at it?"

"My Lord, I have been learning medicine from my grandfather since I was young, and my medical skills are pretty good."

The Princess of Qingyang County was not polite and directly stretched out her hand: "Then please feel my pulse!"

Bai Zhaozhao smiled slightly and put her fingers on the wrist of Princess Qingyang. She knew that Princess Qingyang was testing her.
