The rise of the president in the harem
Chapter 79
Daylight cuts from the tips of tall cypresses and through the open windows, casting golden shadows on the cabin's wooden floors.The rose on the window sill was also coated with a layer of golden light by the sunlight, making it look more red and warm, as if Zhou Can's heart was hot and scorching right now.
That day in the prison cell of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he looked at Gong Zibao lying in his arms, and watched his breath disappear little by little. He knew that he would not lose this person, but he still felt a heart-piercing feeling unavoidably. Lung pain.
Therefore, it is not a surprise for him to find it again. It is just an infinite loop to remind him again and again how painful it will be when he really loses it.As a result, the current Zhou Can can hardly bear to be separated from Gong Zibao for a while. He spends almost every day in this small garden, because here he can look at this man all the time, touch him anytime and anywhere, and feel He is still with the truth by his side.
So, almost every day, he would kiss him and bite him vigorously and give himself to him, so as to heal the fear in his heart and the pain and helplessness accumulated over the years.
Gong Zibao allowed Zhou Can to recklessly stir up trouble, as long as Zhou Can wanted it, he was willing to give him his life, not to mention other things...
This hut is like a silent witness, and it has become the mysterious garden of the two people that is unknown to outsiders with its silent tolerance.
After this day, every three days, the man who gave the fertilizer would give flower and fertilizer to the Liyuan, and it passed like this for a month.When the Spring Festival was approaching, another eunuch from the palace finally came to Liyuan. This eunuch was still here to send invitations. The post was sent by the new emperor, inviting his aunt to the palace to attend the Spring Festival banquet.
That night, the main hall of Liyuan was brightly lit.
Zhou Can sat in front of the mirror, her makeup removed.
Gongzi Bao stood behind him, holding a wooden comb in his hand, combing the hair of His Royal Highness meticulously and patiently.He looked at Zhou Can's bright and beautiful eyebrows in the mirror, and said softly, "The secret path is only half opened, and it will take at least three months to dig through. You must be more careful when entering the palace this time, then Mrs. Liu is not a trustworthy user." , Mrs. Li is smart, don't let her see anything."
"Well, don't worry." Zhou Can responded and leaned back, and Gongzibao moved a small step forward so that he could lean on him.
Gong Zibao put his arms around his shoulders, bent down and kissed the corner of his lips...
New Year's Eve banquet.
Princess Jingxian arrived as scheduled, and the Empress Dowager Li continued to entertain her warmly, and there was nothing unusual on the surface.Concubine Liu, on the other hand, watched the two of them talking enthusiastically, her eyes darkened slightly, and the smile on her face faded even more.
Zhou Can glanced at her, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was even more sure that with Concubine Liu's qualifications, she might not be able to beat Li Shi.However, he didn't expect Concubine Liu to do any great things, because his purpose was not to change Da Zhou to a new emperor...
However, in order to prevent Concubine Liu from revealing her emotions prematurely, Zhou Can inevitably had to comfort her.I saw 'she' walking around at the banquet, toasting and congratulating the concubine from table to table. When she came to Concubine Liu's table, Zhou Can lowered her eyes and smiled, with a hint of mystery in the toast, 'she' said: "New Year's Day! It’s like gathering auspicious clouds, keeping the clouds open and making a comeback. May Concubine Liu come true in the New Year.”
Only the two of them could hear the last sentence. After he finished speaking, Concubine Liu's face regained its brilliance, shining brightly in people's eyes.
After the banquet, 14-year-old Zhou Feiqi personally sent Princess Jingxian out of the palace.Jingxian looked at this boy, and for a moment, she seemed to see her youthful shadow in him.Those childhood memories were not good things for Zhou Can, so he frowned because of this, and he didn't even like Zhou Feiqi.
However, this subtle change was caught by the keen young man. The originally silent young man suddenly opened his mouth and said, "It's getting colder and colder. Is there a heater in the carriage after my aunt leaves the palace?"
Of course the stove was prepared, not only was the stove ready, but even the person who added charcoal to the stove was waiting for him in the carriage at this moment.But Zhou Can shook his head and said, "I'm not prepared."
Zhou Feiqi turned around and said to Eunuch Hu who was beside him: "Go and get my small copper charcoal to warm my aunt's hands."
Eunuch Hu hurried to make arrangements, so the group stopped halfway out of the palace.
This year, Zhou Feiqi's stature has grown a bit taller, a head taller than Zhou Can's, but even if Zhou Can stood with him and was watched by him, he didn't feel oppressed at all. On the contrary, he could feel it from Zhou Feiqi's attitude. An almost sincere respect.This feeling is a bit novel to Zhou Can. Speaking of which, his own children are not around, and because he was at odds with the emperor before, he has no chance to contact the juniors of the royal family. This is the first time he has experienced this kind of feeling from a junior. The feeling of being admired.
It's a pity that the person who brought him this respect happened to be the current emperor.
Probably feeling Zhou Feiqi's respect, Zhou Can took a serious look at the boy again, and finally found that the biggest difference between this boy and himself when he was a boy was that there seemed to be a vicissitudes in the boy's eyes that no one could understand. , I don't know how he accumulated such traces at such a young age that only those who have been oppressed by fate will leave.
Therefore, Zhou Can decided that this was a person with a story.
Therefore, after leaving the palace, he got into the carriage and said to Young Master Bao: "The new emperor is very human, let's choose a day to reveal a hexagram."
Gong Zibao was a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "Okay."
What exactly that hexagram is, is not known.But after the two of them solved the hexagram that day, there was a conversation like this——
Zhou Can said: "The new emperor's three-year election will be held after he turns 17. If he is a brother, it will be difficult to say what will happen when he arrives."
"There is no image of a brother in the hexagram." Gongzi Bao said.
"If we follow this hexagram, we should also make plans early."
Gong Zibao pondered for a moment, and said: "The Li family should send a daughter into the palace."
"Then let's start with this woman, just kill two birds with one stone."
"Okay, I'll arrange this."
"Ah."
The Li family gave birth to a queen mother and a state prince, who for a while dominated the dignitaries of the entire Great Zhou.The Duke of Zhen, Li Yantai, was a lover. He married a wife all his life and gave birth to a son and a daughter.His son, Li Jing, was dispatched to the east to serve as a soldier because he wounded someone with a sword. Now there is only one young daughter, Fang, who is 13 years old.At this moment, when the girl is just growing up, it is a good time for her to be beautiful and tender.
Li Rong'er was held in the hands of his father and brother since childhood, so it's rare that he didn't develop the arrogant temper like the eldest lady.She has been familiar with classics and historical classics since she was a child, and because her father is in charge of the Privy Council, she has also dabbled in military books and strategies.Therefore, among the famous ladies in the capital, it can be said that there are many talents. It is said that such an excellent daughter's family should be the best candidate for the royal daughter-in-law, but the queen mother, the real aunt, thinks that Li Rong'er is good, but there is only one shortcoming, which is soft-hearted .
Because the queen mother is the aunt, Li Rong'er often went to and from the palace when she was young, and had a lot of contact with the children of the royal family, and she also had small daily frictions.When she was ten years old, she entered the palace to greet her aunt, and happened to meet a concubine in her aunt's palace with a little princess who was about her age.
The two little girls ran out holding hands.
At that time, there were many children in the harem, and the princes would be lively for a while after class.Her elder brother was still studying with her at the time, and when he heard that she had entered the palace, he also ran to the harem with a group of princes after school.
Probably because of his brother, when she entered the palace this time, the three princes even gave her a meeting gift, and the second prince even folded a branch of flowers for her to wear on her head.Li Rong'er was very happy, and returned to Yonghe Palace with a bunch of gifts, and put those gifts in the side hall where she usually lives, and she was called out by Li Jing to play together again.During this period, she never noticed that there was a little tail behind her, and that little tail was the little princess.
After Li Rong'er came back after playing wildly for a while, as soon as she entered the side hall, she saw debris all over the floor. The gifts that the princes gave her were all destroyed by someone.Li Rong'er cried twice when she saw it, and then she suddenly covered her mouth, with tears in her big eyes, as if she was wronged like a pitiful little girl.
But those two cries at the very beginning still attracted Queen Li Shi. Li Shi is such a smart person, she knew what was going on at a glance, and immediately asked someone to investigate, and soon found out who broke these things. The person is the daughter of the concubine today, the little princess.
Even though he was a child, doing such a thing at such a young age must have a vicious mind when he grows up, so the Queen Mother prepared to be educated, but at this moment, Li Ronger suddenly grabbed the sleeve of Queen Li's robe and begged: : "Auntie, don't hit the princess, these were all accidentally broken by Rong'er himself, don't blame others."
Mrs. Li was very shocked at the time. She called back Eunuch Li, who was going to call someone, turned around, squatted in front of Li Ronger, and asked her patiently: "Why are you lying? You didn't break these things yourself, did you?"
Li Rong'er lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Things are dead, and they won't hurt if they are broken. People are living people, and they can get hurt even if they are hit with a board."
Li Shi sighed a long time at that time, stood up, and said with emotion: "If that's the case, forget it."
From then on, Empress Li felt that Li Rong'er was too soft-hearted and might not be useful in the future.Therefore, she has been looking for candidates for the general election since then, but in Li's generation, all the people born in the family are boys, and they don't even have a brother.Li Rong'er was so unique in her generation that the queen mother had no choice but to suffer from headaches for a long time.
As time passed, Li Rong'er grew up to thirteen, and she became much calmer than before.
On this day, she took her maid to the street to buy gifts for her mother's birthday.She wanted to make a birthday peach for her mother herself, so she went to Shifang Street. After buying all the things, she was about to get into the carriage, when she heard a group of half-grown children roaring wildly from the alley behind her——
"Kill him! Kill him! Let's see if he dares to snatch it next time!"
"The dead flower from outside dares to reach out without asking about the rules!"
"Hit! Hit!"
Li Rong'er frowned, and was about to walk into the alley.The maid quickly grabbed her and said, "Miss, don't go. They are all dirty people, don't—"
"That's human too!" Li Rong'er didn't wait for the maid to finish speaking, but she didn't go over by herself, so she rushed to the two young men who came with her and said, "Go and see, what's going on?"
The two boys ran into the alley, shouting loudly as they ran, "What's the matter with you? You dare to beat people in the street in broad daylight? Do you still have the law in your eyes?!"
That group were all beggars and half-grown children, they naturally didn't know what king's law was, but they were extremely eye-catching. When they saw that the person was dressed as a running dog of a wealthy family, they knew that they couldn't afford to offend them, and immediately dispersed, leaving only A huddled figure on the ground.
The man was dressed in rags, with disheveled hair, skinny, covered in dirt, and smelled like a stray dog that had just been salvaged from a stinking ditch. Words can describe.
At this moment, he was holding his head in both hands. His body was covered with new wounds and old wounds. Blood dripped down his arms. He was thrown with sticks all over the place, and he didn't know who hit him just now.
The two servants were about to go forward to pull, when they heard a woman's voice behind them, "You all step back." It was actually Li Rong'er who came over in person.The boys saluted hurriedly and stepped aside.
Li Rong'er walked forward without changing her face, but the maid who followed behind her looked anxious, and whispered to persuade: "Miss, let's go back quickly?"
Li Rong'er ignored it, walked up to the beaten man, saw that his arm was wounded, and told the servant behind him, "Go to the nearby pharmacy and buy some trauma medicine." The servant responded and went to do it. This issue.
At this time, the person who had been squatting down finally felt kindness, and carefully put down the hand covering his face. His face was also gaudy, and he couldn't see his original appearance. He raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. The tall girl, because she is too thin, her eyes look huge.
Li Rong'er smiled at him and asked, "Can you stand up?"
The man nodded and leaned against the wall to stand up little by little. It was at this stop that Li Rong'er realized that although this man was skinny, he was born with a good frame. His stature was comparable to her brother Li Jing's, and his height was about the same. Well, even if such a person can't beat a group, at least he won't even have the strength to fight back when he is beaten by a group, right?
She was a little puzzled, so she asked, "They beat you, why didn't you fight back?"
The man opened his mouth, but there was no sound for a while.
Li Ronger frowned, "Are you dumb?"
The man shook his head, coughed twice, and then said in a hoarse voice: "My master said that things are dead, and they won't hurt if they are broken. People are alive, and they can get hurt even if they are slapped."
At that moment, Li Rong'er only felt a buzzing in his head, then smiled and said: "Your master must be a great kind person."
The man smiled and looked at Li Rong'er with lowered eyes.
The boy came back quickly after buying the medicine. Li Rong'er personally applied the medicine to the man after receiving it, and then took the gauze from the boy's hand to bandage the man. Take over the job.
The man was very quiet from beginning to end, as if he was used to being rejected by others.
Li Rong'er watched from the side, feeling a little sympathetic, and wanted to chat with this person a few more times, so she asked, "What's your name? Do you have a name?"
The man said: "Bai Mingxuan."
"Where are they from?"
"Yu City."
"Oh, from the south. What did you come to the capital for?"
But Bai Mingxuan shook his head and said: "The family is broken and the people are dead. There is nowhere to go. I wandered here."
"Hey, what about your master?"
Bai Mingxuan lowered his eyelids and said, "Dead."
Li Rong'er didn't speak for a while, just stared at this person, staring at him again and again.
The servant quickly bandaged Bai Mingxuan's wound.The servant girl yelled, "Miss, it's time to go back." After finishing speaking, she stepped forward to help Li Rong'er. Li Rong'er was supported by her and walked two steps. It was a confused look, staring at the stick in the alley, not knowing what to think, and was a little lost in thought.
Li Rong'er suddenly didn't leave, turned around and shook off the servant girl's hand, walked back in two steps, she came to Bai Mingxuan and asked, "Since you have a master, what have you learned?"
Bai Mingxuan's eyeballs moved, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. It seemed that he didn't expect Li Ronger to go back and forth, and he subconsciously replied, "I learned some skills in boxing and kicking."
"Do you know how to fight?" Li Rong'er finished asking, and when she saw the scars all over his body, she actually laughed.
Bai Mingxuan didn't know what she was laughing at, and looked over suspiciously.
I heard Li Rong'er say: "You can fight and make yourself like this! Oh, forget it, this lady just needs a guard who can fight. If you want, come with me."
Bai Mingxuan stood still, seeming to be very tangled and hesitant.
The maid and the servants couldn't stand watching anymore, and kept rolling their eyes. The maid was so angry that she pulled Li Ronger's sleeve again, and whispered: "Miss, look at him, he doesn't know good people, we Go back and leave him alone."
"Shut up." Li Rong'er scolded the servant girl softly, then turned around and asked Bai Mingxuan, "Why? You don't want to."
Bai Mingxuan said: "My master taught me not to strike casually for the sake of fighting, so I'm afraid..."
The servant girl couldn't listen anymore, and risked being scolded by Li Ronger again, she pointed at Bai Mingxuan's nose and said, "Are you a fool? You can't tell that our lady just wants to give you a bite to eat, isn't it?" What kind of fight are you really going to ask?! I have never seen such a stupid person like you! You deserve to be bullied like this!"
This time Li Rong'er didn't train the servant girl again, she just looked at Bai Mingxuan, and finally she saw a smile in Bai Mingxuan's eyes, and she heard Bai Mingxuan say: "If so, then I am willing."
The servant girl was so angry that she rolled her eyes again, and muttered in a low voice: "Eating and not working for nothing, you think beautifully!"
But Li Rong'er didn't seem to hear the servant girl's small words, she had a smile on her face at this moment, she turned to the two young men and said: "Take him, let's go back home!"
Li Rong'er went to the street and picked up a beggar for nothing. To the Li family with a big business, this matter was like a young lady picking up a stray dog from the street. It was of no importance at all.
After Mrs. Li and Li Yantai heard about it, they just laughed it off.Li Yantai asked someone to check the details of this Bai Mingxuan, and the information came back that he was from Yucheng, his parents were originally honest farmers, and then caught up with the famine a few years ago and the whole family starved to death. This Bai Mingxuan He followed a juggling master to make a living, and the master knew some boxing skills, presumably he taught him a little bit, but every entertainer in the world has his own rules. The master was beaten to death a year ago, and this child was alone. People wander around, and this year in the capital, they are often chased and beaten by hooligans until they meet Li Rong'er.
Li Yantai looked at it twice, and felt that it was nothing, but a poor child, so he let him be Li Ronger's servant.
After Bai Mingxuan entered Li's mansion, he naturally couldn't be so sloppy anymore, so the two servants asked him to wash and change his clothes, registered him in the servant book of Li's mansion, and gave him a meal with white flour steamed buns.
After cleaning up Bai Mingxuan, even though he changed his tattered body into the most common servant clothes, combed his messy hair again, and washed all the dirt, but when he appeared in front of Li Ronger again , the whole person seemed to have changed—even the maid who kept rolling her eyes at him almost dropped her jaw in surprise when she saw Bai Mingxuan who had cleaned up—er, it should be said that their young lady’s eyes are so sharp. Is it Ju, or is this Bai Mingxuan's pearl covered in dust? Anyway, this guy is a bit too handsome, right? !Is this the face a beggar should have?
Li Rong'er was obviously also a little surprised, she didn't expect that Bai Mingxuan would look like this after tidying up, but that's good, the servants in Li's mansion shouldn't be too mediocre.
She asked, "Can you read?"
Bai Mingxuan said: "Know some simple numbers and count money."
The servant girl couldn't help but let out a chuckle, and the other two servants also covered their mouths and turned their backs. Li Rong'er thought they were annoying, so she yelled at them, "Why is the yard dirty? The three of you go and sweep the yard three times." The man immediately retreated with a sad face.
Seeing this, Bai Mingxuan also wanted to go out, but was stopped by Li Ronger, she said: "I didn't tell you to go, stop for me, from now on, I will let you go before I finish speaking, do you understand?"
"it is good."
"Well, then when your previous master taught you boxing, didn't he give you a book?"
"No, the master taught me by hand."
"Pick up a set and show me."
When the two came outside the courtyard, Bai Mingxuan opened his posture and started a simple set of punches. Li Ronger nodded and asked him what kind of weapon he knew. Bai Mingxuan said he could use a sword, so Li Ronger asked him to use another set. Afterwards, she probably knew Bai Mingxuan's level. When she went back to the house, she found a sword manual from the bookshelf, handed it to Bai Mingxuan, and said, "Have practiced this set of Kung Fu for half a year. They teach you. Our Li family doesn't support people who eat nothing."
"it is good."
Bai Mingxuan didn't talk much, basically what Li Ronger said, he was 'good'.
After that day, he stayed in Li's residence.He went in and out with those two young men every day, because he started to have enough to eat, and his stature began to grow, but within a month, the whole person changed again, and he also learned that set of sword skills Halfway through.
Because he rushed to do all kinds of work in this yard, he never complained, and got along well with those two young men.The maid would occasionally bully and bully him every day, ordering him to do this and that, and he would accept them all.Probably because of this forbearing character, by the third month, even the maids were embarrassed to bully him anymore.
Li Rong'er saw everything in his eyes, and felt that Bai Mingxuan seemed to be a reliable person. Although he didn't talk much, the light in his eyes seemed to be unable to cover up.If such a person is polished well, he may not be inactive in the future.
Whether a person is willing to be mediocre is often in his eyes.Although Li Rong'er is not very old, her background determines that the education she receives and the people she contacts are different from ordinary children. She has lived in a more complicated environment since she was a child, and she is well-informed, and the experience accumulated on the way of growth will also be different. It's thicker.So she has her own way of seeing people and things.Her judgment on Bai Mingxuan was actually quite accurate.
In the fourth month, Bai Mingxuan had already learned that set of sword skills.In the past four months, the smiles on Bai Mingxuan's face have gradually increased. Although he is still a young man, because of his outstanding appearance, he already stands out from the crowd among the servants and maids in Li's residence. Now he has learned a little The ability, the person is probably also confident, and with more smiles, it will be more eye-catching for a while.
Not to mention, let’s just say that the maid next to Li Rong’er was always thinking about how to bully others at first, but now she has become "Xiaobai, come here, there are freshly cut watermelons here, come and eat!"
When the boys heard that there was watermelon, they rushed forward.The maid was not afraid that others would say that she was biased, so she quickly took the two biggest pieces of the watermelon and sent them to Bai Mingxuan with a smile.
He handed over the watermelon, and whispered, "You don't care about chopping firewood, so why are you rushing around? Don't you feel tired?"
Bai Mingxuan just smiled and didn't talk much.
The maid said again: "Miss is going to burn incense in the temple tomorrow, I whispered to her to let her bring you, so you don't have to chop firewood."
"Well, thank you."
"Hey, why are you being polite to me?" The little maid blushed and ran away happily.
Bai Mingxuan gnawed on the watermelon, raised his eyes, and looked at the open window of the study. Li Ronger was sitting by the window, writing and copying the scriptures. , the strands of hair brushed her face and touched her lips, it was when the young girl was young, she looked extremely moving.
Bai Mingxuan lowered his eyes to cover up the strange color flickering in them.I thought in my heart that it was time to find time to meet Master.It's just that the slain man of Li's mansion stood guard day and night, and it was too troublesome to get in and out.but--
That night, when Bai Mingxuan got up to go to the latrine at night, he caught a small insect. While twisting his fingers, a small needle came out of nowhere. He saw him holding the needle in one hand and twisting the insect in the other under the moonlight. He poked the worm's wing with a needle point, and then let go of the worm. The little worm twirled twice in his palm, and he took a breath before flying away.
On the same night, Li Yuan slept in the hall.
The two people who were playing chess were disturbed by the buzzing in their ears, and when they raised their heads at the same time, they saw a golden bug the size of a bean flying over in the air.Gong Zibao raised his hand to take it, looked at the candlelight, and then said to Zhou Can: "Tomorrow Lingyin Temple."
Zhou Can nodded and said, "It's only been four months, and he's quite capable."
But Gong Zibao sighed and said: "He has a miserable life experience, I picked him up when he was four or five years old, he is willing to work hard."
"I'm just curious. He's been in Li's residence for four months, so Li Yantai didn't suspect it at all?"
"You mean, he looks like his father?"
"Back then, Li Yantai's commander fought against the Japanese kingdom for so long, and he cut off the head of a hundred thousand years old with his own hands. It is impossible for him not to remember the appearance of that man. I saw that child on the street two days ago, and he looked exactly like his father. It's becoming more and more similar."
Gong Zibao laughed and said: "Li Yantai has beheaded [-] or [-] enemies in his life. No one has dared to take revenge on him in these years. He may not take his defeated generals to heart, even if he thinks that the child Like, most likely just to check the details, isn't everything done in Yucheng?"
Zhou Can nodded and said, "That's right. Yucheng is the territory of the He family, so there must be nothing to find out about his identity. Even if Li Yantai wanted to break his head, he would never have thought that a servant in the mansion was picked up by his daughter himself The young servant will be the heir of the Japanese general who was beheaded by him."
"Yeah, then, come tomorrow as planned. This move is just the beginning, and I'm afraid it will get better and better in the future."
"I hope so."
Zhou Can was holding a white ball, but he didn't know what to think of, and he didn't drop it for a long time.
……
The next day, after Bai Ming woke up in the morning, he first practiced a set of sword skills.Then I went to the kitchen to help the boys and maids carry water and chop firewood to do some odd jobs. After breakfast, I received an order from Li Ronger, saying that he should escort them to Lingyin Temple to offer incense.
Now, the fact that he has mastered swordsmanship is known to almost everyone in the servants of Li's mansion, so when everyone sees that the young lady calls him a guard, they all feel that it should be taken for granted.Bai Mingxuan tidied up, and escorted Li Ronger's carriage to Lingyin Temple in Xishan together with another servant from Li's residence.
On this day, the first day of the lunar month, many people came to Lingyin Temple to offer incense.Not too far away on the road, you can see a carriage of a dignitary and noble family, but the quiet mountain road is extremely lively.Lingyin Temple is built on a half-foothill. To go up the mountain, the carriage has to stop at a platform first, and then people can walk up.And there is only one small road from the foot of the mountain to the platform, barely enough for a carriage to pass, on weekdays, everyone walks in line, but today, for some reason, there are two carriages crowded at the intersection in front, refusing to give way to each other , blocked the intersection.This time, even the string of carriages behind couldn't get through. Some people couldn't wait to come forward to mediate, and they were scolded by those two families together. If you don't fight, the fight will be even more chaotic.
That road is completely do not want to go.
Li's carriage was also blocked behind.The little girl was so angry that she was about to get out of the carriage to scold people, but she suddenly saw two carriages turning back in front of her, so she stopped her to inquire, and then she heard the two households say: "I heard that there is a way around the back mountain, instead of staying here When they finish fighting, it's better to detour early to save trouble!"
Hearing this, Li Rong'er said in the car: "Then let's follow. Don't cause trouble in front of the Buddha, take a step back and go."
The three carriages on their side turned around, and those who saw it hurriedly followed after inquiring about it.In this way, the carriages of a group of dignitaries wandered into the valley of the West Mountain and headed for the back mountain.
The West Mountain is sparsely populated, and few people would go deep into the mountains on weekdays. The two carriages leading the way were walking around, turning around and getting lost without knowing it.The chariots and horses following them were also the frames of a group of ladies and ladies. They had never encountered such a situation before, and they were a little panicked for a while.
The owner of the leading carriage was so angry that he scolded the driver, "Didn't you say that you know the way? What should we do now? If we can't find the way, we have to go back the same way. Isn't this a delay?"
The coachman was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head, and knelt on the ground to admit his mistake.
Seeing this, everyone turned around and walked back immediately.
Li Rong'er also sighed, and immediately made people turn around.This is really helpless, seeing that the sun is past noon, if they can't get out of this valley before dark, they still have to stay in the wild.That would be too risky, who knows what ferocious beasts are in this mountain, if there are some casualties, it will really be worth the candle.
However, the Li family's carriage had just turned around, and there was a sudden scream from the carriage that turned first, and then Li Rong'er heard something hit the roof of her own carriage, and that hit It was so heavy that the carriage shook with it.Just as she was about to lift the curtain, she heard the woman shouting from all directions: "Ahhhh!! There is a snake! It's a snake!! Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuphhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The servant girl was so frightened that she hugged Li Rong'er, fully alert, looked around, and said while trembling: "Little Miss, I will protect you!"
"Bai Mingxuan! Li Xi!" Li Rong'er frowned and shouted, "What's going on outside?"
Li Xi seemed to be fighting, his breath was very fast, and he shouted: "Miss, don't come out, it's a snake! Big snake! Xiaobai and I are killing it!"
"Snake, snake, snake!" The servant girl was so frightened that her tongue got tied up.
"Don't be afraid!" Li Rong'er had just finished saying this to the servant girl, and then there was a long neighing of horses, their carriage suddenly shook violently, and then bumped and ran at a high speed.
"Miss!" Li Xi's yelling became farther and farther away, and he shouted eagerly: "Xiaobai quickly catch up!!"
The snake bit the horse, and the horse ran wild in fright.
Li's carriage and other carriages galloped through the valley without any rules. Sometimes several carriages ran side by side, and sometimes their wheels collided with each other. I ran up the foothills and shuttled through the forest.
The bumps were multiplied, the carriage bumped into a tree and then scraped, the exit of the carriage went up and down, the maid yelled, holding the car window and daring not to let go, but soon she couldn't cry out——
Because she was bitten with two deep tooth marks on her arm, she stopped shouting right in front of Li Rong'er, her pupils gradually dilated, and finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
No matter how calm Li Ronger was, she was really panicking right now—it could be said that this was the first time in her life that she saw a life in front of her eyes. The fear crawled up from the bottom of her feet and quickly overwhelmed her. She shouted Calling the servant girl's name, he desperately reached out to pull her, but he couldn't reach her in the bumpy carriage. He could only watch the maidservant's extremely quiet body being thrown out of the carriage by a sharp turn...
That day in the prison cell of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he looked at Gong Zibao lying in his arms, and watched his breath disappear little by little. He knew that he would not lose this person, but he still felt a heart-piercing feeling unavoidably. Lung pain.
Therefore, it is not a surprise for him to find it again. It is just an infinite loop to remind him again and again how painful it will be when he really loses it.As a result, the current Zhou Can can hardly bear to be separated from Gong Zibao for a while. He spends almost every day in this small garden, because here he can look at this man all the time, touch him anytime and anywhere, and feel He is still with the truth by his side.
So, almost every day, he would kiss him and bite him vigorously and give himself to him, so as to heal the fear in his heart and the pain and helplessness accumulated over the years.
Gong Zibao allowed Zhou Can to recklessly stir up trouble, as long as Zhou Can wanted it, he was willing to give him his life, not to mention other things...
This hut is like a silent witness, and it has become the mysterious garden of the two people that is unknown to outsiders with its silent tolerance.
After this day, every three days, the man who gave the fertilizer would give flower and fertilizer to the Liyuan, and it passed like this for a month.When the Spring Festival was approaching, another eunuch from the palace finally came to Liyuan. This eunuch was still here to send invitations. The post was sent by the new emperor, inviting his aunt to the palace to attend the Spring Festival banquet.
That night, the main hall of Liyuan was brightly lit.
Zhou Can sat in front of the mirror, her makeup removed.
Gongzi Bao stood behind him, holding a wooden comb in his hand, combing the hair of His Royal Highness meticulously and patiently.He looked at Zhou Can's bright and beautiful eyebrows in the mirror, and said softly, "The secret path is only half opened, and it will take at least three months to dig through. You must be more careful when entering the palace this time, then Mrs. Liu is not a trustworthy user." , Mrs. Li is smart, don't let her see anything."
"Well, don't worry." Zhou Can responded and leaned back, and Gongzibao moved a small step forward so that he could lean on him.
Gong Zibao put his arms around his shoulders, bent down and kissed the corner of his lips...
New Year's Eve banquet.
Princess Jingxian arrived as scheduled, and the Empress Dowager Li continued to entertain her warmly, and there was nothing unusual on the surface.Concubine Liu, on the other hand, watched the two of them talking enthusiastically, her eyes darkened slightly, and the smile on her face faded even more.
Zhou Can glanced at her, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was even more sure that with Concubine Liu's qualifications, she might not be able to beat Li Shi.However, he didn't expect Concubine Liu to do any great things, because his purpose was not to change Da Zhou to a new emperor...
However, in order to prevent Concubine Liu from revealing her emotions prematurely, Zhou Can inevitably had to comfort her.I saw 'she' walking around at the banquet, toasting and congratulating the concubine from table to table. When she came to Concubine Liu's table, Zhou Can lowered her eyes and smiled, with a hint of mystery in the toast, 'she' said: "New Year's Day! It’s like gathering auspicious clouds, keeping the clouds open and making a comeback. May Concubine Liu come true in the New Year.”
Only the two of them could hear the last sentence. After he finished speaking, Concubine Liu's face regained its brilliance, shining brightly in people's eyes.
After the banquet, 14-year-old Zhou Feiqi personally sent Princess Jingxian out of the palace.Jingxian looked at this boy, and for a moment, she seemed to see her youthful shadow in him.Those childhood memories were not good things for Zhou Can, so he frowned because of this, and he didn't even like Zhou Feiqi.
However, this subtle change was caught by the keen young man. The originally silent young man suddenly opened his mouth and said, "It's getting colder and colder. Is there a heater in the carriage after my aunt leaves the palace?"
Of course the stove was prepared, not only was the stove ready, but even the person who added charcoal to the stove was waiting for him in the carriage at this moment.But Zhou Can shook his head and said, "I'm not prepared."
Zhou Feiqi turned around and said to Eunuch Hu who was beside him: "Go and get my small copper charcoal to warm my aunt's hands."
Eunuch Hu hurried to make arrangements, so the group stopped halfway out of the palace.
This year, Zhou Feiqi's stature has grown a bit taller, a head taller than Zhou Can's, but even if Zhou Can stood with him and was watched by him, he didn't feel oppressed at all. On the contrary, he could feel it from Zhou Feiqi's attitude. An almost sincere respect.This feeling is a bit novel to Zhou Can. Speaking of which, his own children are not around, and because he was at odds with the emperor before, he has no chance to contact the juniors of the royal family. This is the first time he has experienced this kind of feeling from a junior. The feeling of being admired.
It's a pity that the person who brought him this respect happened to be the current emperor.
Probably feeling Zhou Feiqi's respect, Zhou Can took a serious look at the boy again, and finally found that the biggest difference between this boy and himself when he was a boy was that there seemed to be a vicissitudes in the boy's eyes that no one could understand. , I don't know how he accumulated such traces at such a young age that only those who have been oppressed by fate will leave.
Therefore, Zhou Can decided that this was a person with a story.
Therefore, after leaving the palace, he got into the carriage and said to Young Master Bao: "The new emperor is very human, let's choose a day to reveal a hexagram."
Gong Zibao was a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "Okay."
What exactly that hexagram is, is not known.But after the two of them solved the hexagram that day, there was a conversation like this——
Zhou Can said: "The new emperor's three-year election will be held after he turns 17. If he is a brother, it will be difficult to say what will happen when he arrives."
"There is no image of a brother in the hexagram." Gongzi Bao said.
"If we follow this hexagram, we should also make plans early."
Gong Zibao pondered for a moment, and said: "The Li family should send a daughter into the palace."
"Then let's start with this woman, just kill two birds with one stone."
"Okay, I'll arrange this."
"Ah."
The Li family gave birth to a queen mother and a state prince, who for a while dominated the dignitaries of the entire Great Zhou.The Duke of Zhen, Li Yantai, was a lover. He married a wife all his life and gave birth to a son and a daughter.His son, Li Jing, was dispatched to the east to serve as a soldier because he wounded someone with a sword. Now there is only one young daughter, Fang, who is 13 years old.At this moment, when the girl is just growing up, it is a good time for her to be beautiful and tender.
Li Rong'er was held in the hands of his father and brother since childhood, so it's rare that he didn't develop the arrogant temper like the eldest lady.She has been familiar with classics and historical classics since she was a child, and because her father is in charge of the Privy Council, she has also dabbled in military books and strategies.Therefore, among the famous ladies in the capital, it can be said that there are many talents. It is said that such an excellent daughter's family should be the best candidate for the royal daughter-in-law, but the queen mother, the real aunt, thinks that Li Rong'er is good, but there is only one shortcoming, which is soft-hearted .
Because the queen mother is the aunt, Li Rong'er often went to and from the palace when she was young, and had a lot of contact with the children of the royal family, and she also had small daily frictions.When she was ten years old, she entered the palace to greet her aunt, and happened to meet a concubine in her aunt's palace with a little princess who was about her age.
The two little girls ran out holding hands.
At that time, there were many children in the harem, and the princes would be lively for a while after class.Her elder brother was still studying with her at the time, and when he heard that she had entered the palace, he also ran to the harem with a group of princes after school.
Probably because of his brother, when she entered the palace this time, the three princes even gave her a meeting gift, and the second prince even folded a branch of flowers for her to wear on her head.Li Rong'er was very happy, and returned to Yonghe Palace with a bunch of gifts, and put those gifts in the side hall where she usually lives, and she was called out by Li Jing to play together again.During this period, she never noticed that there was a little tail behind her, and that little tail was the little princess.
After Li Rong'er came back after playing wildly for a while, as soon as she entered the side hall, she saw debris all over the floor. The gifts that the princes gave her were all destroyed by someone.Li Rong'er cried twice when she saw it, and then she suddenly covered her mouth, with tears in her big eyes, as if she was wronged like a pitiful little girl.
But those two cries at the very beginning still attracted Queen Li Shi. Li Shi is such a smart person, she knew what was going on at a glance, and immediately asked someone to investigate, and soon found out who broke these things. The person is the daughter of the concubine today, the little princess.
Even though he was a child, doing such a thing at such a young age must have a vicious mind when he grows up, so the Queen Mother prepared to be educated, but at this moment, Li Ronger suddenly grabbed the sleeve of Queen Li's robe and begged: : "Auntie, don't hit the princess, these were all accidentally broken by Rong'er himself, don't blame others."
Mrs. Li was very shocked at the time. She called back Eunuch Li, who was going to call someone, turned around, squatted in front of Li Ronger, and asked her patiently: "Why are you lying? You didn't break these things yourself, did you?"
Li Rong'er lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Things are dead, and they won't hurt if they are broken. People are living people, and they can get hurt even if they are hit with a board."
Li Shi sighed a long time at that time, stood up, and said with emotion: "If that's the case, forget it."
From then on, Empress Li felt that Li Rong'er was too soft-hearted and might not be useful in the future.Therefore, she has been looking for candidates for the general election since then, but in Li's generation, all the people born in the family are boys, and they don't even have a brother.Li Rong'er was so unique in her generation that the queen mother had no choice but to suffer from headaches for a long time.
As time passed, Li Rong'er grew up to thirteen, and she became much calmer than before.
On this day, she took her maid to the street to buy gifts for her mother's birthday.She wanted to make a birthday peach for her mother herself, so she went to Shifang Street. After buying all the things, she was about to get into the carriage, when she heard a group of half-grown children roaring wildly from the alley behind her——
"Kill him! Kill him! Let's see if he dares to snatch it next time!"
"The dead flower from outside dares to reach out without asking about the rules!"
"Hit! Hit!"
Li Rong'er frowned, and was about to walk into the alley.The maid quickly grabbed her and said, "Miss, don't go. They are all dirty people, don't—"
"That's human too!" Li Rong'er didn't wait for the maid to finish speaking, but she didn't go over by herself, so she rushed to the two young men who came with her and said, "Go and see, what's going on?"
The two boys ran into the alley, shouting loudly as they ran, "What's the matter with you? You dare to beat people in the street in broad daylight? Do you still have the law in your eyes?!"
That group were all beggars and half-grown children, they naturally didn't know what king's law was, but they were extremely eye-catching. When they saw that the person was dressed as a running dog of a wealthy family, they knew that they couldn't afford to offend them, and immediately dispersed, leaving only A huddled figure on the ground.
The man was dressed in rags, with disheveled hair, skinny, covered in dirt, and smelled like a stray dog that had just been salvaged from a stinking ditch. Words can describe.
At this moment, he was holding his head in both hands. His body was covered with new wounds and old wounds. Blood dripped down his arms. He was thrown with sticks all over the place, and he didn't know who hit him just now.
The two servants were about to go forward to pull, when they heard a woman's voice behind them, "You all step back." It was actually Li Rong'er who came over in person.The boys saluted hurriedly and stepped aside.
Li Rong'er walked forward without changing her face, but the maid who followed behind her looked anxious, and whispered to persuade: "Miss, let's go back quickly?"
Li Rong'er ignored it, walked up to the beaten man, saw that his arm was wounded, and told the servant behind him, "Go to the nearby pharmacy and buy some trauma medicine." The servant responded and went to do it. This issue.
At this time, the person who had been squatting down finally felt kindness, and carefully put down the hand covering his face. His face was also gaudy, and he couldn't see his original appearance. He raised his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him. The tall girl, because she is too thin, her eyes look huge.
Li Rong'er smiled at him and asked, "Can you stand up?"
The man nodded and leaned against the wall to stand up little by little. It was at this stop that Li Rong'er realized that although this man was skinny, he was born with a good frame. His stature was comparable to her brother Li Jing's, and his height was about the same. Well, even if such a person can't beat a group, at least he won't even have the strength to fight back when he is beaten by a group, right?
She was a little puzzled, so she asked, "They beat you, why didn't you fight back?"
The man opened his mouth, but there was no sound for a while.
Li Ronger frowned, "Are you dumb?"
The man shook his head, coughed twice, and then said in a hoarse voice: "My master said that things are dead, and they won't hurt if they are broken. People are alive, and they can get hurt even if they are slapped."
At that moment, Li Rong'er only felt a buzzing in his head, then smiled and said: "Your master must be a great kind person."
The man smiled and looked at Li Rong'er with lowered eyes.
The boy came back quickly after buying the medicine. Li Rong'er personally applied the medicine to the man after receiving it, and then took the gauze from the boy's hand to bandage the man. Take over the job.
The man was very quiet from beginning to end, as if he was used to being rejected by others.
Li Rong'er watched from the side, feeling a little sympathetic, and wanted to chat with this person a few more times, so she asked, "What's your name? Do you have a name?"
The man said: "Bai Mingxuan."
"Where are they from?"
"Yu City."
"Oh, from the south. What did you come to the capital for?"
But Bai Mingxuan shook his head and said: "The family is broken and the people are dead. There is nowhere to go. I wandered here."
"Hey, what about your master?"
Bai Mingxuan lowered his eyelids and said, "Dead."
Li Rong'er didn't speak for a while, just stared at this person, staring at him again and again.
The servant quickly bandaged Bai Mingxuan's wound.The servant girl yelled, "Miss, it's time to go back." After finishing speaking, she stepped forward to help Li Rong'er. Li Rong'er was supported by her and walked two steps. It was a confused look, staring at the stick in the alley, not knowing what to think, and was a little lost in thought.
Li Rong'er suddenly didn't leave, turned around and shook off the servant girl's hand, walked back in two steps, she came to Bai Mingxuan and asked, "Since you have a master, what have you learned?"
Bai Mingxuan's eyeballs moved, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. It seemed that he didn't expect Li Ronger to go back and forth, and he subconsciously replied, "I learned some skills in boxing and kicking."
"Do you know how to fight?" Li Rong'er finished asking, and when she saw the scars all over his body, she actually laughed.
Bai Mingxuan didn't know what she was laughing at, and looked over suspiciously.
I heard Li Rong'er say: "You can fight and make yourself like this! Oh, forget it, this lady just needs a guard who can fight. If you want, come with me."
Bai Mingxuan stood still, seeming to be very tangled and hesitant.
The maid and the servants couldn't stand watching anymore, and kept rolling their eyes. The maid was so angry that she pulled Li Ronger's sleeve again, and whispered: "Miss, look at him, he doesn't know good people, we Go back and leave him alone."
"Shut up." Li Rong'er scolded the servant girl softly, then turned around and asked Bai Mingxuan, "Why? You don't want to."
Bai Mingxuan said: "My master taught me not to strike casually for the sake of fighting, so I'm afraid..."
The servant girl couldn't listen anymore, and risked being scolded by Li Ronger again, she pointed at Bai Mingxuan's nose and said, "Are you a fool? You can't tell that our lady just wants to give you a bite to eat, isn't it?" What kind of fight are you really going to ask?! I have never seen such a stupid person like you! You deserve to be bullied like this!"
This time Li Rong'er didn't train the servant girl again, she just looked at Bai Mingxuan, and finally she saw a smile in Bai Mingxuan's eyes, and she heard Bai Mingxuan say: "If so, then I am willing."
The servant girl was so angry that she rolled her eyes again, and muttered in a low voice: "Eating and not working for nothing, you think beautifully!"
But Li Rong'er didn't seem to hear the servant girl's small words, she had a smile on her face at this moment, she turned to the two young men and said: "Take him, let's go back home!"
Li Rong'er went to the street and picked up a beggar for nothing. To the Li family with a big business, this matter was like a young lady picking up a stray dog from the street. It was of no importance at all.
After Mrs. Li and Li Yantai heard about it, they just laughed it off.Li Yantai asked someone to check the details of this Bai Mingxuan, and the information came back that he was from Yucheng, his parents were originally honest farmers, and then caught up with the famine a few years ago and the whole family starved to death. This Bai Mingxuan He followed a juggling master to make a living, and the master knew some boxing skills, presumably he taught him a little bit, but every entertainer in the world has his own rules. The master was beaten to death a year ago, and this child was alone. People wander around, and this year in the capital, they are often chased and beaten by hooligans until they meet Li Rong'er.
Li Yantai looked at it twice, and felt that it was nothing, but a poor child, so he let him be Li Ronger's servant.
After Bai Mingxuan entered Li's mansion, he naturally couldn't be so sloppy anymore, so the two servants asked him to wash and change his clothes, registered him in the servant book of Li's mansion, and gave him a meal with white flour steamed buns.
After cleaning up Bai Mingxuan, even though he changed his tattered body into the most common servant clothes, combed his messy hair again, and washed all the dirt, but when he appeared in front of Li Ronger again , the whole person seemed to have changed—even the maid who kept rolling her eyes at him almost dropped her jaw in surprise when she saw Bai Mingxuan who had cleaned up—er, it should be said that their young lady’s eyes are so sharp. Is it Ju, or is this Bai Mingxuan's pearl covered in dust? Anyway, this guy is a bit too handsome, right? !Is this the face a beggar should have?
Li Rong'er was obviously also a little surprised, she didn't expect that Bai Mingxuan would look like this after tidying up, but that's good, the servants in Li's mansion shouldn't be too mediocre.
She asked, "Can you read?"
Bai Mingxuan said: "Know some simple numbers and count money."
The servant girl couldn't help but let out a chuckle, and the other two servants also covered their mouths and turned their backs. Li Rong'er thought they were annoying, so she yelled at them, "Why is the yard dirty? The three of you go and sweep the yard three times." The man immediately retreated with a sad face.
Seeing this, Bai Mingxuan also wanted to go out, but was stopped by Li Ronger, she said: "I didn't tell you to go, stop for me, from now on, I will let you go before I finish speaking, do you understand?"
"it is good."
"Well, then when your previous master taught you boxing, didn't he give you a book?"
"No, the master taught me by hand."
"Pick up a set and show me."
When the two came outside the courtyard, Bai Mingxuan opened his posture and started a simple set of punches. Li Ronger nodded and asked him what kind of weapon he knew. Bai Mingxuan said he could use a sword, so Li Ronger asked him to use another set. Afterwards, she probably knew Bai Mingxuan's level. When she went back to the house, she found a sword manual from the bookshelf, handed it to Bai Mingxuan, and said, "Have practiced this set of Kung Fu for half a year. They teach you. Our Li family doesn't support people who eat nothing."
"it is good."
Bai Mingxuan didn't talk much, basically what Li Ronger said, he was 'good'.
After that day, he stayed in Li's residence.He went in and out with those two young men every day, because he started to have enough to eat, and his stature began to grow, but within a month, the whole person changed again, and he also learned that set of sword skills Halfway through.
Because he rushed to do all kinds of work in this yard, he never complained, and got along well with those two young men.The maid would occasionally bully and bully him every day, ordering him to do this and that, and he would accept them all.Probably because of this forbearing character, by the third month, even the maids were embarrassed to bully him anymore.
Li Rong'er saw everything in his eyes, and felt that Bai Mingxuan seemed to be a reliable person. Although he didn't talk much, the light in his eyes seemed to be unable to cover up.If such a person is polished well, he may not be inactive in the future.
Whether a person is willing to be mediocre is often in his eyes.Although Li Rong'er is not very old, her background determines that the education she receives and the people she contacts are different from ordinary children. She has lived in a more complicated environment since she was a child, and she is well-informed, and the experience accumulated on the way of growth will also be different. It's thicker.So she has her own way of seeing people and things.Her judgment on Bai Mingxuan was actually quite accurate.
In the fourth month, Bai Mingxuan had already learned that set of sword skills.In the past four months, the smiles on Bai Mingxuan's face have gradually increased. Although he is still a young man, because of his outstanding appearance, he already stands out from the crowd among the servants and maids in Li's residence. Now he has learned a little The ability, the person is probably also confident, and with more smiles, it will be more eye-catching for a while.
Not to mention, let’s just say that the maid next to Li Rong’er was always thinking about how to bully others at first, but now she has become "Xiaobai, come here, there are freshly cut watermelons here, come and eat!"
When the boys heard that there was watermelon, they rushed forward.The maid was not afraid that others would say that she was biased, so she quickly took the two biggest pieces of the watermelon and sent them to Bai Mingxuan with a smile.
He handed over the watermelon, and whispered, "You don't care about chopping firewood, so why are you rushing around? Don't you feel tired?"
Bai Mingxuan just smiled and didn't talk much.
The maid said again: "Miss is going to burn incense in the temple tomorrow, I whispered to her to let her bring you, so you don't have to chop firewood."
"Well, thank you."
"Hey, why are you being polite to me?" The little maid blushed and ran away happily.
Bai Mingxuan gnawed on the watermelon, raised his eyes, and looked at the open window of the study. Li Ronger was sitting by the window, writing and copying the scriptures. , the strands of hair brushed her face and touched her lips, it was when the young girl was young, she looked extremely moving.
Bai Mingxuan lowered his eyes to cover up the strange color flickering in them.I thought in my heart that it was time to find time to meet Master.It's just that the slain man of Li's mansion stood guard day and night, and it was too troublesome to get in and out.but--
That night, when Bai Mingxuan got up to go to the latrine at night, he caught a small insect. While twisting his fingers, a small needle came out of nowhere. He saw him holding the needle in one hand and twisting the insect in the other under the moonlight. He poked the worm's wing with a needle point, and then let go of the worm. The little worm twirled twice in his palm, and he took a breath before flying away.
On the same night, Li Yuan slept in the hall.
The two people who were playing chess were disturbed by the buzzing in their ears, and when they raised their heads at the same time, they saw a golden bug the size of a bean flying over in the air.Gong Zibao raised his hand to take it, looked at the candlelight, and then said to Zhou Can: "Tomorrow Lingyin Temple."
Zhou Can nodded and said, "It's only been four months, and he's quite capable."
But Gong Zibao sighed and said: "He has a miserable life experience, I picked him up when he was four or five years old, he is willing to work hard."
"I'm just curious. He's been in Li's residence for four months, so Li Yantai didn't suspect it at all?"
"You mean, he looks like his father?"
"Back then, Li Yantai's commander fought against the Japanese kingdom for so long, and he cut off the head of a hundred thousand years old with his own hands. It is impossible for him not to remember the appearance of that man. I saw that child on the street two days ago, and he looked exactly like his father. It's becoming more and more similar."
Gong Zibao laughed and said: "Li Yantai has beheaded [-] or [-] enemies in his life. No one has dared to take revenge on him in these years. He may not take his defeated generals to heart, even if he thinks that the child Like, most likely just to check the details, isn't everything done in Yucheng?"
Zhou Can nodded and said, "That's right. Yucheng is the territory of the He family, so there must be nothing to find out about his identity. Even if Li Yantai wanted to break his head, he would never have thought that a servant in the mansion was picked up by his daughter himself The young servant will be the heir of the Japanese general who was beheaded by him."
"Yeah, then, come tomorrow as planned. This move is just the beginning, and I'm afraid it will get better and better in the future."
"I hope so."
Zhou Can was holding a white ball, but he didn't know what to think of, and he didn't drop it for a long time.
……
The next day, after Bai Ming woke up in the morning, he first practiced a set of sword skills.Then I went to the kitchen to help the boys and maids carry water and chop firewood to do some odd jobs. After breakfast, I received an order from Li Ronger, saying that he should escort them to Lingyin Temple to offer incense.
Now, the fact that he has mastered swordsmanship is known to almost everyone in the servants of Li's mansion, so when everyone sees that the young lady calls him a guard, they all feel that it should be taken for granted.Bai Mingxuan tidied up, and escorted Li Ronger's carriage to Lingyin Temple in Xishan together with another servant from Li's residence.
On this day, the first day of the lunar month, many people came to Lingyin Temple to offer incense.Not too far away on the road, you can see a carriage of a dignitary and noble family, but the quiet mountain road is extremely lively.Lingyin Temple is built on a half-foothill. To go up the mountain, the carriage has to stop at a platform first, and then people can walk up.And there is only one small road from the foot of the mountain to the platform, barely enough for a carriage to pass, on weekdays, everyone walks in line, but today, for some reason, there are two carriages crowded at the intersection in front, refusing to give way to each other , blocked the intersection.This time, even the string of carriages behind couldn't get through. Some people couldn't wait to come forward to mediate, and they were scolded by those two families together. If you don't fight, the fight will be even more chaotic.
That road is completely do not want to go.
Li's carriage was also blocked behind.The little girl was so angry that she was about to get out of the carriage to scold people, but she suddenly saw two carriages turning back in front of her, so she stopped her to inquire, and then she heard the two households say: "I heard that there is a way around the back mountain, instead of staying here When they finish fighting, it's better to detour early to save trouble!"
Hearing this, Li Rong'er said in the car: "Then let's follow. Don't cause trouble in front of the Buddha, take a step back and go."
The three carriages on their side turned around, and those who saw it hurriedly followed after inquiring about it.In this way, the carriages of a group of dignitaries wandered into the valley of the West Mountain and headed for the back mountain.
The West Mountain is sparsely populated, and few people would go deep into the mountains on weekdays. The two carriages leading the way were walking around, turning around and getting lost without knowing it.The chariots and horses following them were also the frames of a group of ladies and ladies. They had never encountered such a situation before, and they were a little panicked for a while.
The owner of the leading carriage was so angry that he scolded the driver, "Didn't you say that you know the way? What should we do now? If we can't find the way, we have to go back the same way. Isn't this a delay?"
The coachman was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head, and knelt on the ground to admit his mistake.
Seeing this, everyone turned around and walked back immediately.
Li Rong'er also sighed, and immediately made people turn around.This is really helpless, seeing that the sun is past noon, if they can't get out of this valley before dark, they still have to stay in the wild.That would be too risky, who knows what ferocious beasts are in this mountain, if there are some casualties, it will really be worth the candle.
However, the Li family's carriage had just turned around, and there was a sudden scream from the carriage that turned first, and then Li Rong'er heard something hit the roof of her own carriage, and that hit It was so heavy that the carriage shook with it.Just as she was about to lift the curtain, she heard the woman shouting from all directions: "Ahhhh!! There is a snake! It's a snake!! Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuphhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The servant girl was so frightened that she hugged Li Rong'er, fully alert, looked around, and said while trembling: "Little Miss, I will protect you!"
"Bai Mingxuan! Li Xi!" Li Rong'er frowned and shouted, "What's going on outside?"
Li Xi seemed to be fighting, his breath was very fast, and he shouted: "Miss, don't come out, it's a snake! Big snake! Xiaobai and I are killing it!"
"Snake, snake, snake!" The servant girl was so frightened that her tongue got tied up.
"Don't be afraid!" Li Rong'er had just finished saying this to the servant girl, and then there was a long neighing of horses, their carriage suddenly shook violently, and then bumped and ran at a high speed.
