Time always runs fast on happy days, no, it's already the twelfth lunar month of winter.The heavy snow all over the sky is like continuous cotton wool.

It has been snowing for two days, and suddenly, the imperial capital turned into a vast expanse of whiteness, more like a dynamic ink painting, the sky is snowing, and the people in the painting are making snowmen and having snowball fights in the snow, which is very pleasant.

On this day, Bai Enci was calculating the general account for this month in the store, stepping on a big brazier under his feet, covered with a big cotton cloth.Settling the accounts with trembling hands, Liu Ming and the boy huddled in the corner to warm up by the fire.

There was no windshield at the door, and the wind was blowing in, and Bai Enci could barely hold the writing brush in his red hands from the cold.

"Master, why don't you just take it home, it's so cold here." Liu Ming chattered.

Bai Enci looked at the heavy snow outside, and said melancholy: "I don't want to either. If I bring the account book home, I have to bring it back tomorrow. Wouldn't it be two trips. Bear with it for now!"

Seeing the wind pouring in desperately, he said again: "Go buy a big quilt and hang it at the door, won't you be cold if it blows like this?"

The shopkeeper just came back from the warehouse, and after hearing this, he explained: "It was hung up yesterday, but the wind was too strong and it was blown away."

Bai Enci: "..."

The wind is so fierce!

"I ran away and bought another one. Is it short of your money? Don't catch a cold." Bai Enci said.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly asked the boy to buy a new windshield. Seeing him go out, Bai Enci added: "Buy better quality ones, why do you live in poverty."

The shopkeeper laughed when he heard this, "It's the young master who kindly bought us these charcoal quilts. In the past, our head of the family never prepared these for our servants. Therefore, we dare not mention it."

Caught off guard for a burst of boasting, Bai Enci suddenly felt his ears heat up, and he was secretly happy.It's rare to be praised, especially by your own employees.

While I was busy, a girl suddenly came outside, covered in snow; maybe it was too cold, she wrapped herself tightly, the only visible pair of bright eyes.

Bai Enci was quite surprised that there were still people coming to buy medicine in such a heavy snow, and what's more, their shop basically sold medicine for men.

"Girl, what do you need to sell?" the shopkeeper asked.

The woman first glanced at Bai Enci, then raised her eyes to look at the shopkeeper, and after a moment of silence, she said: "My little girl is looking for medicine to treat herpes, may I have it in your shop?"

The shopkeeper bowed his waist and looked at the girl, "There are such medicines, but where is the girl's medicine? Is it for men or women? How old is it?"

"Face treatment, for girls, sixteen this year."

"So it's for you, girl. Can you take off your veil and let the old man have a look at the symptoms first, so that I can give you the corresponding medicine." The shopkeeper said.

Hearing this, the woman gave him a sideways glance and refused, "I'm afraid I'll scare you all, so it's better not to pick it."

"This... Miss, the old man can't prescribe medicine for you without looking at the illness. How about this, you and the old man come to the back, and the old man can look at it alone."

The girl felt reasonable after hearing what the shopkeeper said, so she followed him to the back.

After a long time, the shopkeeper came back with an embarrassed expression on his face, and whispered something in Bai Enci's ear, and Bai En followed him to the back.

When he came in, he saw a woman sitting on a wooden bench with an anxious expression on her face. When she saw him, she saluted with blessings.

Bai Enci hurriedly helped her up, "Girl, Mr. Bai heard about your condition from the shopkeeper, can you let Mr. Bai see your face again?"

The woman nodded and took off her veil.

I saw that her face was festered, and many rotten sores densely covered the whole face; there was almost no white spot on her face, and the moment the veil was taken off, there was still a strong putrid smell.

Bai Enci was almost rude.The woman dodged the eyes of the young man in front of her, and hurriedly put on her veil again.

"Sorry, I made you laugh!" Bai Enci hurriedly called to stop her as he said that he was about to run out.

"Wait a moment!"

The woman turned her head and said: "The ugly girl makes everyone sick, let's go, little girl!"

Bai Enci said: "Girl, how long have you had this symptom?"

The woman hesitated for a while and replied, "Three years!"

Hearing this, Bai Enci thought to herself.This girl is only 16 years old. It is reasonable to say that her acne is caused by facial infection due to carelessness in the later stage.So it's that serious.

Bai Enci said: "What do you like to eat on weekdays!"

The woman answered, spicy things.

Bai Enci asked again: "How about your work and rest habits?"

The woman said: "The little girl's family is poor, and she is busy with needlework every day. The cock crows and the dog goes to sleep."

"Where does that house live?" Bai Enci asked, and the woman looked at him with wary eyes.

He hurriedly explained, "The girl misunderstood what Bai meant. Bai wanted to know whether the environment where the girl lives is clean."

After hearing this, the woman said, "My little girl lives next to Shuiwan Harbor."

"I see." Bai Enci said.

Shuiwan Port is a civilian area in the south of the imperial capital. The place is damp and dark, and it is actually not suitable for living.

"My lord has asked so many questions, are you asking a doctor or a person?"

Bai Enci: "..."

The woman's tone was disdainful, because she thought that a little boy could understand something, and asked these irrelevant questions again.How many old doctors she saw, they all said there was no cure.If she hadn't visited all the shops in the imperial capital, how could she have come here, just to seek comfort.
