Chapter 69 Respect for Madam Bai
69 Respect for Madam Bai
After Bai Wutong bandaged Qingfeng, she asked her curiously, “How did she know that you’re a woman?”
Qingfeng rolled down her sleeve and said indifferently, “Granny w.a.n.g was a body examination lady in the palace in her early years. It’s not surprising that Cui Lingyi can tell.”
No wonder Granny w.a.n.g was so well-trained in etiquette. It turned out that she was from the palace.
Realization dawned on Bai Wutong. She got out of the carriage and saw that a circle of people had surrounded the carriage five meters away.
Seeing Bai Wutong get out of the carriage, Yang Quanzi led everyone from the Cui family and bowed respectfully to Bai Wutong. “Madam is a genius. It’s the blessing of all the scholars in the world!”
Previously, they had thought that Bai Wutong was exaggerating when she said that she could make the speed of copying books thousands of times faster. However, when they saw this vivid blueprint and the detailed explanation, they were convinced that this was not a dream. There was really something that could make the speed of copying books thousands of times faster.
Not only would Bai Wutong’s blueprint bring immeasurable value, but it would also further develop the civilization of the entire state. The price of books would also be greatly reduced in the future, allowing more citizens to have the opportunity to read and write. It was simply an unprecedented invention that benefited the citizens of the world.
Bai Wutong was stunned for a moment before she remembered something. She waved her hand and said, “I didn’t think of this. I just saw others printing books like this and I remembered them. I still have to thank you all for saving my husband.”
Bai Wutong’s words sounded abnormally familiar.
She’d said the same thing when she’d used the prescription to treat the plague. Someone else had given it to her, and she just happened to remember it.
The drawing of the printing technique looked simple, but it was somewhat difficult. If one did not scrutinize it in detail and had thought about it personally, how could one a.n.a.lyze the printing technique so thoroughly and draw such a detailed drawing that it summarized the possible problems that might arise?
It gave them the illusion that this was personally developed by Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong did not think that she had written it in detail. As a makeup artist in the production team, drawing blueprints was also a basic skill. This was just something she had casually drawn.
Yang Quanzi probed happily, “May I know who invented this magical printing technique?” If it wasn’t Bai Wutong, he would definitely not be a n.o.body.
Bai Wutong said honestly, “Bi Sheng.” One of their ancient great men!
“Bi Sheng?”
Yang Quanzi and the others looked at each other and probed, “Madam, where is this expert now? If we want to use his magical printing technique to benefit the scholars of the world, we have to ask for his permission, right?”
Bai Wutong was anxious to check on Chu Tianbao’s situation. “He told me that his lifelong wish is to benefit the people! He would definitely agree 10 million times!”
Yang Quanzi and the others opened their mouths and wanted to ask questions at once. Seeing this, Bai Wutong quickly stopped them. “I want to see my husband first. I’ve already drawn the printing technique very clearly. If there’s anything you don’t understand, come and ask me after sorting out your questions.”
Her husband was still lying down. It was indeed rude for them to pester her like this.
Everyone immediately made way. Bai Wutong quickly strode forward, looking like she wanted to fly over immediately.
Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and smiled at everyone. “Magical printing technique! How appropriate and thorough! I know where the expert called Bi Sheng is.”
Everyone asked in unison, “Where?”
Yang Quanzi smiled smugly. “It’s right in front of us.”
Xu Zhiyi reacted quickly. “Teacher, are you saying that Madam Bai is actually Bi Sheng?”
Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and explained, “If it wasn’t personally created by Madam Bai, how could she be so confident that the expert would definitely agree to let us use it as we please? Moreover, we can ask her questions as we please!”
When everyone heard this, they agreed. “That makes sense. Madam Bai must not want anyone to disturb her, so she used someone else’s name to give us permission.”
Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and said affirmatively, “Then let’s pretend not to know in the future. Everyone knows what to do and let’s respect Madam Bai!”
Since Great Scholar Yang had spoken, the 30 people of Qinghe naturally nodded and regarded Bai Wutong as an honored guest in their hearts.
Bai Wutong didn’t spend much time treating Qingfeng’s arm. When she returned, Chu Tianbao was still lying quietly on the ground. Stinky, who was in Auntie Yang’s arms, looked at the motionless Chu Tianbao and reached out his chubby hand. He asked for a hug, but Chu Tianbao didn’t react at all.
Stinky didn’t get a response from Chu Tianbao, so he twisted in Auntie Yang’s arms, wanting to touch Chu Tianbao and pull his most precious beard.
Auntie Yang felt sadness in her heart and said to Stinky, “Little Young Master, quickly call Daddy. Call Daddy. Master will wake up when he hears it. If he’s happy, he’ll get up and hug you.”
“Daddy, Little Young Master call out Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.” Auntie Yang slowly guided Stinky to speak.
When Bai Wutong returned, he heard Stinky snuggle up to Chu Tianbao and call out in a childish voice, “Little brother… Brother…”
‘Little brother?’
When Bai Wutong walked over, Auntie Yang was overjoyed. She said excitedly to Bai Wutong, “Madam, Young Master knows how to call Old Master ‘Daddy’. Listen, it sounds so nice.”
Stinky grabbed Chu Tianbao’s beard and glanced at Bai Wutong. He raised his chubby chin proudly and displayed his new skill. “Brother… Brother…”
Uh… no matter how she listened, it sounded like little brother.
However, she still had to praise the child. Bai Wutong squatted down and rubbed Stinky’s little round head. She smiled and said, “Our Stinky is really impressive.”
When Stinky heard Bai Wutong’s praise, it was as if his meridians had been opened up. He called “Daddy” even more clearly.
Bai Wutong’s smile deepened. She looked at the unconscious Chu Tianbao and muttered, “Why aren’t you awake yet?”
Bai Wutong waited for a while, but Chu Tianbao still did not wake up. She called Qingfeng over, and Qingfeng said, “He had replenished a lot of internal energy suddenly and needs some time to absorb it.” Then she comforted for the first time, “Don’t worry, he will definitely wake up.”
They had no carriage. Chu Tianbao could only lie on the ground.
The Cui family had been paying attention to their movements. Bai Wutong and the others lacked carriages, so they immediately sent two carriages for them to use.
Bai Wutong glanced at Chu Tianbao and said to the enthusiastic Cui Shiji, “Thank you for your kindness, Patriarch Cui. All we need is a carriage.”
Cui Shiji shook his head and said firmly, “Madam Bai still has to take care of Young Master, and Master still needs to rest. How can a carriage be enough? Master, hurry up and get well. Only then can we all rest a.s.sured.”
They probably wanted to know more about the printing technique, right?
Bai Wutong accepted it. “Thank you, Patriarch Cui. If you have any questions, ask Qing Jiu to look for me.”
Cui Shize quickly waved his hand. “There’s no hurry.”
