Tiance

Bai Jincheng listed a lot of Zhao Zhen's advantages, and said that the daughter-in-law he wanted to marry was like this, and he sighed regretfully when it was over: "Zhenzhen, it would be great if you were a girl."

Zhao Zhen was already very uncomfortable, but when he heard his words again, he felt even more uncomfortable, and gave him an angry look: "Do you remember that I am a man? You know how impolite it is to say such things to a man I don't know, you!"

Bai Jincheng was stunned for a moment, then hugged his shoulder with a smile, "Hey, you are not an outsider! Didn't I praise you?"

Zhao Zhen hummed, "I don't want such a compliment." But after saying this, his expression has softened—"I'm not an outsider" or something, it still sounds very pleasing to the ear.

Bai Jincheng hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "I have to praise you if you don't want it, you are so good, why don't you like me to praise you? Right?"

"Go, go, go back to your Kaifeng mansion," Zhao Zhen drove him away dumbfounded, "It's fine here."

Bai Jincheng had no choice but to leave the palace in despair, but he was still pondering on the way - Zhenzhen is actually quite good, and I don't know if he has unmarried sisters or something...

But after thinking about it, he gave up on Zhao Zhen's unmarried sisters. After all, she is a princess. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. How can their family Zhenzhen be so down-to-earth, so good at living and so easy to serve?

Sigh, why is Zhenzhen a man... Xiaowei Bai is really a bit regretful.He never thought that Zhao Zhen was also a noble man since he was a child.

While he was thinking about these questions, he was responding to the greetings of the people on the side of the road. Suddenly, an old man rushed out in front of the horse, knelt down with a piece of paper in his hands, and shouted: "You are wronged! You are wronged!"

The people on both sides were startled, and immediately surrounded them gossipingly.

Bai Jincheng quickly dismounted and helped the old man up, and asked, "Old man, why are you kneeling on me?"

The old man tremblingly stood up with his hand and asked: "Are you the white guard of Kaifeng mansion? The little old man just heard someone say..."

"Yes, yes, I am, do you have any grievances to tell me?" Bai Jincheng glanced at the paper.

The old man handed him the paper, wiped away his tears, and said in a babbling voice: "The little old man wants to sue Xiangye Bao's nephew for extorting state and county silver. If you want to give him a favor, if you report to Bao Xiangye's own Kaifeng mansion, he will have no choice but to handle it impartially."

The onlookers swarmed and booed.

"You old man is so ignorant! How could Mr. Bao's nephew do such a thing!"

"That's right! Don't frame good people!"

"Guard Bai don't pay attention to this old man, he must be talking nonsense!"

Bai Jincheng had already read the paper. It said that Master Bao's third nephew, Bao Shirong, was going to Taiyuan to offer incense. He was in charge of receiving this Mr. Bao San.Unexpectedly, Mr. Bao San said that he did not entertain well and asked him for 300 taels of Cheng Yi, so he had to report to the county magistrate.The county magistrate was an upright official who couldn't afford so much money, and misunderstood that the old man Zhao wanted to borrow the 300 taels of Mr. Bao's name, so he kicked the old man out with [-] slaps.When the old man returned to the post house, he was hung in the stable by Mr. Bao San and whipped. He was the one who promised to raise money because of his quick wits, so he was released.

"Old Man, then follow me back to Kaifeng Mansion, and I'll take you to meet Mr. Bao." Bai Jincheng put away the pleading paper, persuaded the crowd to disperse, and helped the old man to Kaifeng Mansion, and asked on the way, "Old Man, what are you doing?" How did you know you were looking for me?"

The old man sighed and said: "The little old man came here to seek relatives. He wanted to submit a certificate to Mr. Wen of Dali Temple after he planned to seek relatives. Unexpectedly, he failed to meet relatives. Fortunately, he met a kind person who gave him a meal. He also told the little old man that Mo Ruo should report to the Kaifeng mansion so as not to protect the officials... just now the little old man was asking about the way to Kaifeng mansion, when someone pointed out the white guard to me."

Back in Kaifeng Mansion, Bai Jincheng sent people to Mr. Bao. Mr. Bao was so angry that he said that his family was unlucky, so he immediately wrote a letter to Guancheng County and the surrounding counties, so that these counties would not care where Mr. Bao went. Immediately escorted to Beijing.

Because the old man Zhao had already told the story in the busy market, and the next day Grand Master Pang happily impeached Mr. Bao—he didn’t know how long he had been waiting for this—and then both the government and the public knew about it up.Moreover, Grand Master Pang also said that Kaifeng Mansion had to hand over this case to Dali Temple if it wanted to avoid suspicion.

Mr. Bao has a clear conscience anyway, the chief official of Dali Temple, Mr. Wen Yanbo, is also an upright person, and he will definitely deal with it fairly, so after he reported his handling method to Zhao Zhen, he still went to the Zhongshumen on the west side of Wende Hall as usual The province handles the government affairs in his hands.

Because Bai Jincheng had to wait to escort Lord Bao back to Kaifeng Mansion after work, he couldn't go back alone first. Fortunately, after Zhao Zhen went to court, he asked a small servant to come to him, otherwise he would have to fight with the imperial guards up.

Zhao Zhen came to him to ask about the specifics of the case, because when Grand Master Pang impeached Master Bao, he gloated and said that Master Bao fell into his own hands—because Bai Jincheng took over the case.

Bai Jincheng told everything he knew, and finally sighed: "Master Bao is also very unlucky. He has no son. Among the three nephews, this one is promising. He is a scholar. I didn't expect..."

Then he said a little worryingly: "You have to teach Changsheng well. Mr. Bao San is doing this because his uncle is the prime minister. Changsheng's father is you. Who else in the world can be bigger than you?"

Zhao Zhen also nodded in a serious manner: "It makes sense! You don't know how much the emperor dotes on Changsheng. It won't work if this continues. I have to think about who to find him as a husband."

The two of them didn't care that their parents were only a few months old now, so they discussed the candidates for their future teachers. Master Wen is Baxian Wang, Master Bao, Master Wen, etc. Master Wu is Bai Jincheng and Zhan Zhao. As long as Bai Yutang is willing...

Fortunately, Changsheng is brought by the queen mother today, and he is so young that he can't understand, otherwise he will definitely feel that he has no childhood!

When Chen Lin brought them tea and came in, he heard that the two were discussing in full swing. They even planned what books and weapons Changsheng would study. , the little prince is only a few months old." And why the officials should discuss this kind of matter with the white guard, I simply can't figure it out.

My wife still couldn't help thinking: Why do the more I look at it, the more we feel that the way our official family gets along with the white guard is a bit strange?

Bai Jincheng said: "Chen Banban, it's better to prepare in advance for such a big event as hiring a husband for the child. When the child grows up, I will look for it temporarily, and I won't be able to find such a good one!"

That's not your child either, why are you bothering... Chen Banban thought silently.But seeing that Zhao Zhen was also in high spirits, the old man still retreated silently—an old man couldn't understand the world of young people.

After the young people finished discussing the matter of finding a teacher for Changsheng, Bai Jincheng asked Zhao Zhen again: "Why does Grand Master Pang always trouble Mr. Bao? He is too annoying, jumping up and down all day, why are you still pampering him?"

The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth drooped, "Oh, you don't understand. Taishi Pang also has many old disciples. He also made many great achievements for the court in his early years, but he is getting old and a little confused these years. In fact, he has not committed any crimes. What a big mistake, the DPRK and China also need a balance..."

Bai Jincheng doesn't quite understand this kind of complicated political struggle, but he can tell that it must be very troublesome and hard for Zhao Zhen to deal with this kind of thing - he is only in his twenties, and he has to manage a large group of old foxes and manage the entire For a country, it is not easy for the ministers and the common people to praise him.

Thinking of this, the first thing that came to Bai Jincheng's heart was not admiration or appreciation. He didn't know how to describe that feeling, but he just felt a little blocked in his heart, which was very uncomfortable.

I'd better treat him better in the future...he thought so.

So in the next few days, when he sent Master Bao to court every day, he would bring some things to Zhao Zhen by the way, such as a basket of fresh fruits that were not in the palace, such as the ones from the old Xu's family that he had to get up early to buy. Mille-feuille or something.

Zhao Zhen was flattered: "Hanzhang, why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?"

"Can't I be nice to you?" Bai Jincheng was a little depressed, "I saw that you were busy in the palace for ten days and a half months and couldn't go out once, so I brought it for you."

"But all of this will cost money..." Zhao Zhen muttered, "Isn't your money going to buy horse grass? I heard from Liuhe that you don't grow much emperor bamboo grass, and Niu Niu is almost not enough to eat gone."

Regarding this, Bai Jincheng was also quite worried. His horse grassland was not big enough, and Niuniu's appetite was terrible. Although his current salary is quite high, alfalfa is also very expensive!Because there are not many people around Kaifeng who breed this horse, most of them are for the sons of rich people to raise horses, and the price will certainly not be low.

"Oh, I didn't expect that even though I have made friends with the emperor, I still can't afford horses..." He sighed, "When Yutang comes back from investigating the case, I have to kill him. He is much richer than you."

Zhao Zhen was slightly embarrassed: "No matter how rich he is, it is his own money. How embarrassing what are you doing to kill him! Why don't you get some seeds, my imperial garden is quite big, I'll ask someone to give it to you Let’s open a piece of land, it’s vacant anyway, and the piece of land in front of your house is too small.”

Bai Jincheng looked at him silently - you are too diligent and thrifty to manage your house, even the imperial garden can be used to grow horse grass, why don't you grow vegetables for yourself?
