A Wisdom of Quick Transmigration

Chapter 3

As for Bai Yongkang, Bai Mingzhu inadvertently asked after recovering, why she hadn't seen her elder brother until now, but was told by Mei Xiang that Bai Yongkang was not good at taking care of him, and after sending Bai Mingzhu back, he was personally handed over by Lord Hou. After eighty lashes, he is still lying on the bed and unable to get out of bed.

Bai Mingzhu seems to be out of danger now. The queen in the palace also sent people to send condolences. The nanny who came with her also asked about Bai Mingzhu's situation, and even asked in detail about the time at that time. In the end, Bai Mingzhu, who was a little better, drew the mark that she had seen before.

Regarding this, the servants who followed Bai Mingzhu were unwilling, but since this old nanny was sent by the queen, they could only swallow their anger.

Apart from showing some reluctance at the beginning, Bai Mingzhu still drew the tattoo mark in the end. Although the details are a bit general, there is nothing that should be remembered.

You know, this tattoo mark is printed on it with a soldering iron first, and then the tattoo is embroidered after it is almost ready, and the one printed on the soldering iron is slightly different from the one on the tattoo, which makes the tattoo highly recognizable. There are also some identification tricks that are not enough for outsiders to understand.

The nanny just watched Bai Mingzhu finish painting the tattoo quietly. After Bai Mingzhu finished painting the tattoo with some difficulty, the nanny's face became even colder for a moment, but she recovered quickly , took the piece of paper respectfully, said some thoughtful words, and left with the people.

After this time, Bai Mingzhu lost her strength and lay down on the bed to rest again, but her mind was thinking about that nanny.

The way that nanny showed at that moment just now was not like what a normal palace nanny should have. What's more, she was so focused when she was looking at Bai Mingzhu's painting, and her expression was so ugly after Bai Mingzhu finished painting. Bai Mingzhu had to think about it.

It seems that this nanny should not be someone close to the empress, but from the point of view of her reaction, she is more like someone around the emperor. It is more likely that this kind-hearted palace nanny may be one of the hidden guards.

Then, unknown to Bai Mingzhu, a group of people died in the capital. They were all servants of some official families. The highest status was an official of the ninth rank who was guarding the city. Moreover, these people died. After that, the corpses were collected as quickly as possible and burned. As for the thief with the dragon mark, the people from the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion tracked it down for half a month, but still couldn't find it until a certain governor sent word that they had met him. After killing a group of fleeing bandits, they found such a dragon mark.

After hearing the news, Lord Hou of Zhen Guohou's Mansion directly requested the imperial decree and went to suppress the bandits.

After another half month, the gangsters' lair was taken away. During the interrogation, they also confessed that they were motivated by wealth and wanted to teach the dog official who was "unkind for the sake of wealth" a lesson. After that, they all He was killed, and thus, the assassination of Bai Mingzhu came to an end.

As for the male supporting role who once escorted the heroine, he also died quietly under the operation of the emperor, and his death did not even startle a drop of water, the only one who noticed that he was 'disappeared' Maybe there is only the heroine alone, but after all, men and women are very defensive, even if the heroine is worried, she can only hide this worry in her heart, and it is impossible to tell others about it for the rest of her life.

The champion of the new department entered the Hanlin Academy, and he had to stay there for three years before he could hold a position. Of course, Xiao Baihe stayed in the capital with his only relative, and waited until Bai Mingzhu was almost healed, able to run and jump, and even scarred. When they didn't stay, there were already rumors outside that the new top scholar planned to find a husband-in-law for his talented younger sister.

This Xiao Baihe is now sixteen years old, the age at which she was married, and she has only been famous during this period of time. Once the rumor spread, no matter whether it was true or not, there were quite a few people who came to propose marriage.

Among them, Bai Yongkang, the eldest son of Zhen Guohou's mansion, was also included.

After all, Bai Yongkang is a person who practiced martial arts all the time. Although he couldn't get out of bed for several days after being beaten, he is almost better now. When he heard that Xiao Baihe chose a husband, he ignored those on the spot and left the house in a hurry went.

Bai Mingzhu heard the servants report that Bai Yongkang had left the mansion, but after a soft reply, she continued to play with the flower branches in her hand, and after a while, she asked Mei Xiang beside her.

"I heard that Princess Changming's daughter will be 16 next year."

Mei Xiang didn't know what her master meant, but she still followed Qi Mengzhi's words and answered.

"Yes, I heard that Princess Changming's daughter will be old enough to get married next year. During this time, Princess Changming and her son-in-law are looking after Liangxu for their daughter."

Bai Mingzhu nodded, but said nothing.

This Princess Changming is unruly and self-willed, but her daughter is a good person, with a gentle and virtuous personality, but later, because of her mother's reputation, she got married and married Xiao Baihe's elder brother, as her husband and son. .

Xiao Baihe's elder brother is capable. Apart from the fact that his sister who loves him is a sister-in-law, he usually devotes all his attention to his official duties. Later, he became the governor, and he just left his pregnant wife in Beijing. It's been ten years since he left, and he also took two good concubines outside, and gave birth to a child to this virtuous and virtuous wife to raise.

If it had been anyone else, this concubine's child might have been killed.

But this Mrs. Yang is also stupid, not only relying on that meager salary to bring up these children, but also to teach them to be talented, none of them are inferior to their father.

At the same time, this unobtrusive Yang's communication skills are also very strong, and he is very popular among the officials' wives. He helped Xiao Baihe's brother stabilize the rear, which made it smooth sailing.

If you want the Hou Mansion to have a good future, you have to choose carefully who will be the future wife of Lord Hou.

Now that she knows Yang's goodness from her future trajectory, of course she must find a way to fix this person.

As for the person Bai Yongkang is thinking about right now, she doesn't care!

Coincidentally, Princess Changming celebrated her birthday. Originally, the invitation for this birthday banquet could not be delivered to the Hou Mansion. come?Under such circumstances, even if a post was sent to the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion would not usually go there.

However, this time, Bai Mingzhu sent congratulatory gifts on behalf of her family.

Although no one went, the birthday gift was indeed delivered, and the amount of money received was also a face for Princess Changming.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Princess Changming to hold a flower viewing banquet, and the post was sent to Hou's mansion.

The person who invited this time was Bai Mingzhu. After seeing it, Bai Mingzhu accepted the other party's invitation, and when Bai Mingzhu was saying hello in the morning, she told Mrs. Hou Fu, who was Bai Mingzhu's mother, about this matter.

Bai Mingzhu's mother still looked down upon Princess Changming. After all, when the late emperor was still there, she still liked Princess Changming a bit. Therefore, Princess Changming was very arrogant at the time.

Although Princess Changming has restrained herself a lot now, those of her generation, especially women, can't help frowning every time Princess Changming is mentioned.

The mother Bai Mingzhu obviously didn't want Bai Mingzhu to go, but Bai Mingzhu explained in a nice way.

"Although Princess Changming's temper is not very good, I still like Princess Changming's second daughter Yang Yuhe very much. I have seen her before, she is a gentle and virtuous woman."

Bai Mingzhu smiled flatteringly, and Bai Mingzhu's mother couldn't stand her delicate appearance. Hearing that she was happy with Yang Yuhe, she also had an impression in her heart, but she still didn't let go of the matter of going to Changming County Lord's Mansion for a banquet. .

"Oh, you child, you don't know. Princess Changming has never been tuned in his whole life. When he was young, he still..." Speaking of this, Bai Mingzhu's mother seemed to have thought of something disgusting, and her face was ugly. After a moment, he skipped the topic and continued.

"Anyway, you can't go to Princess Changming's Mansion. It's very dirty there. If you like that person named Yang Yuhe, then recruit her to our Marquis Mansion. Just in time, I'll take a look at the person you like. .”

It can be seen that Princess Changming didn't do anything good when she was young, but Bai Mingzhu's mother repulsed her by saying that she was going to the Palace of Princess Changming for a banquet.

Bai Mingzhu thought about it, and felt that this was okay, so she agreed with a smile, and did not argue with her mother.

And just when the mother and daughter were talking happily, Bai Yongkang walked in with his clothes lifted.

Hou Ye was drinking tea over there at this time, and when he saw Bai Yongkang walking in, he couldn't help but pull down his gentle face listening to the mother and daughter over there, and slapped the teacup on the table viciously. Let go, and the tone became harsher.

"You kid, you still know how to come back! Tell me! What were you doing at night? You didn't come back all night, and you didn't know how to send a message home! If the housekeeper hadn't come looking for you, you wouldn't have come back!"

Hou Ye is very angry when he sees this kid now. First, he made his sister look like that, and then he didn't see him accompany his wronged daughter. He ran outside all day long, and yesterday was even more outrageous. He didn't see anyone all night. If he hadn't sent someone out to look for him later, and the housekeeper came back and said that the young master lived in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, he would have thought that his son had been taken away by gangsters!
Lord Hou was very angry, and Bai Yongkang also knew that what he did was wrong, but last night he went to find Xiao Baihe, and it was so hard that Xiao Baihe agreed to marry him, and because of his injuries, he asked Xiao Baihe to help him. He wanted to take the medicine by himself, so he couldn't bear to come back at that time.

Bai Yongkang knew it was his fault, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was nothing.

After all, he is living in his future wife's home, and he is not an outsider. Moreover, he has found such a good wife for his family, and the two elders will definitely be happy.

Thinking of this, Bai Yongkang took two steps forward and knelt down in front of the old man with a plop. He didn't care about the startled expression of the old man, and kowtowed to the two of them directly, and then smiled Said.

"Father, mother, my son has found a good daughter-in-law for you!"

After hearing this, Bai Mingzhu silently sat aside.

The two elders obviously didn't react, and after looking at each other, Mrs. Hou spoke first.

"You mean, you found a wife?"

These days, according to the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, they are not ready to marry their son yet, where did he find his wife? !
Mrs. Hou's expression was still relatively calm. Master Hou was in a firefight, so he slapped the table hard and stood up to drink.

"Bastard! What have you been doing all night! Ah! You don't learn well! You actually learned how to steal incense and jade from others!"

Bai Yongkang was also a little dumbfounded by his father's scolding. Seeing that Master Hou was about to roll up his sleeves and beat someone up, he quickly stood up to avoid it, and then shouted for an explanation.

"No! Dad! Listen to me! I didn't do anything to steal love and beauty! Oh, dad, please stop fighting, listen to me, we just have a crush on each other, I like her, thinking about today and Parents, talk about it, and then I want you to help me hire me, I really didn't do anything to steal!"

Although Bai Yongkang explained quickly, he was kicked in the butt by the Marquis and fell to the ground.

Bai Mingzhu felt happy watching this scene, and picked up a piece of snacks with a smile to eat. Bai Yongkang, who got up, saw Bai Mingzhu's appearance, and winked at Bai Mingzhu for a long time, so that Master Hou was almost about to start Give this unfilial son two blows.

Mrs. Hou is obviously more calm than Mr. Hou. After all, she is her son. Even if something happens, it will not be her son who really suffers. So Mrs. Hou sat firmly and waited for her son to finish explaining. Mrs. Hou also got up and asked.

"Oh, then which girl do you like?"

Bai Yongkang smiled and said firmly.

"It's Xiao Baihe, the younger sister of the new number one scholar."

After saying this, Madam Hou's eyes darkened.

The girl's name in the boudoir was actually uttered by a man, and the first impression of Xiao Baihe in Madam Hou's heart was discounted.

But the Marquis didn't hear anything wrong in this. He just reflected it and then raised his foot and kicked Bai Yongkang staggering.

"Okay, kid, let me tell you, why are you thinking of 'talking all night long' with that number one scholar? It turns out you have a crush on his sister!"

Bai Yongkang smiled silly and didn't make any excuses. He seemed to recognize it.

Madam Hou's expression gradually became a little unswerving, but she still asked.

"So, the top scholar knows about you and his sister." If this is true, then the top scholar is not a good person. He can push his sister out, and it is degrading for the daughter of the boudoir to come. of.

Even if Bai Yongkang didn't understand the twists and turns, he still knew how to read his mother's face.

Seeing his mother's face darken, she immediately opened her mouth to explain.

"No, he doesn't know. We met once at a poetry meeting before. Ms. Xiao is very talented and has unique insights into political affairs. We get along very well..."

After saying this, Bai Yongkang couldn't continue.

Although Bai Yongkang thinks such a woman is very good, he likes such a woman.

But he also knew that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and he was afraid that his mother would not like such a woman.

But what he didn't expect was that Mrs. Hou actually laughed after hearing his explanation, and even said it with a smile.

"Well, since you like it, then take it back to the mansion and let me have a look at it someday." As for the marriage proposal, let her see it before talking about it!

Bai Yongkang also heard the implication of Mrs. Hou's words, but he had confidence in his sweetheart and felt that his mother would definitely like Xiao Baihe, so he happily agreed, and then said a few words to his family with a smile. In a word, he left in a flash.

After Bai Yongkang left, both Mrs. Hou and Lord Hou looked unhappy. Only Bai Mingzhu was still drinking tea leisurely.

It's not that she doesn't worry about Xiao Baihe marrying in and becoming her sister-in-law, but she knows very well that Xiao Baihe is absolutely impossible to become the eldest wife of the Hou Mansion.

Sure enough, in the afternoon of the same day, news came out that the emperor had granted a marriage and made the sister of the new number one scholar to the fourth prince of the current dynasty as his concubine.

The news spread quickly. After all, there are quite a few young masters who like Xiao Baihe. As soon as the news came out, many young masters came to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, but soon, they all left in a daze.

Bai Yongkang is also one of them, but Bai Yongkang is different from other princes and brothers, he has more power and status, so after knowing that the emperor really issued this imperial decree, he was devastated, and even planned to go directly to the palace to meet the emperor .

It's just a pity that he didn't see the emperor, but was arrested by the people of the Hou's mansion halfway.

It is absolutely impossible for the Marquis to let him go to the palace to make trouble for this kind of thing. Originally, Mrs. Hou and the Marquis also looked down on Xiao Baihe. It does not matter to the Hou Mansion that Xiao Baihe can directly marry someone else. Loss, especially looking at the number of lost young masters in Zhuangyuan Mansion today, Mrs. Hou is even more despised by Xiao Baihe.

However, I don’t know if he was stimulated by something. Bai Yongkang, who was captured, seemed to be insane. He tried to escape from the Zhenguohou Mansion in various ways, and even declared his will to marry Xiao Baihe by death. Heart.

His way of doing this completely chilled the hearts of everyone in the Hou family, and even the old Hou Ye even said that there was no grandson like him.

However, no matter how noisy Bai Yongkang was, the day when the emperor bestowed a marriage was getting closer and closer. Until the day when Xiao Baihe got married, Bai Yongkang still did not escape.

If the leader of the dark guards is still alive, he will help Bai Yongkang escape from the Marquis Mansion at this time, and then make a big fuss at the wedding banquet of the Fourth Prince, making the Fourth Prince dissatisfied with the entire Marquis Mansion of Zhen Guo, and even the emperor is also dissatisfied with Marquis Manor of Zhen Guo There are negative words.

But the leader of the hidden guard had died quietly, so Bai Yongkang was the only one who couldn't escape.

Bai Mingzhu sat in the restaurant and watched the wedding. Although she was just a concubine, the fourth prince was still willing to give Xiao Baihe dignity. Although there was no festive procession with gongs and drums, the fourth prince still wore wedding clothes and rode a tall horse to attend the ceremony in person. The sedan chair that came to greet Xiao Baihe passed the house.

Bai Mingzhu just watched quietly, until after everything was over, she turned to a woman dressed as a maid kneeling beside her.

This is the guard assigned by Master Hou to his daughter, and it was assigned to Bai Mingzhu after the assassination incident.

Even though there are only two of them, they are both women.

But if these two people were there at the time of the assassination, even if there was no way to repel the hidden guards around the emperor, it would be no problem to escape safely with Bai Mingzhu.

But now, these two hidden guards and Mei Xiang beside her have been drugged by her to ensure the absolute loyalty of these three people to her.

It's just that this kind of medicine is very precious, even if it is Bai Mingzhu who can use the gold finger completely without any restrictions, he can only take out these three.

She reached into her sleeve, touched it, took out a medicine bottle with a big stomach, and handed it to Mei Xiang who was standing beside her. Mei Xiang took it, turned around and handed the medicine bottle to the person kneeling on the ground.

"Go and pretend to be a Taoist priest, and when the time comes, sneak into the Hou's mansion, and then take out one of the medicines in this medicine bottle, and find a chance to take it for the crown prince."

This is Wangqing Pill, after eating it can make people forget the deepest emotion.

Bai Mingzhu had already planned that Bai Yongkang could do so many things for Xiao Baihe without any complaints or regrets, even if he lost the entire Zhenguohou Mansion, the reason was because of his unforgettable love for Xiao Baihe. Love.

That being the case, then it would be good to just get rid of this love, and even make Bai Yongkang afraid or even loathe Xiao Baihe.

When Xiao Baihe lost the two very powerful helpers of the secret guard leader and Bai Yongkang, he didn't know whether the future emperor would be the fourth prince who was not loved by the emperor.
