Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 212 The imperial examination husband

Five years later, Wu Bai finally got the opportunity to return to Beijing to report on his work. He rode a horse and ran along the official road, feeling extremely happy.

Yan Shu and the two rode on horses and followed behind him. Seeing how fast he was running, they hurriedly shouted: "Master, run slowly."

After all these years, they still haven't changed their words, they still call him Mr. Wu Bai.

"Hahaha..." Hearing their shouts, instead of slowing down, Wu Bai sped up his speed.

In the past five years, Wu Bai made full use of the terrain of Dingyang Mansion to build terraced fields, led the people to dig ditches to divert water, and taught the people to make water trucks to irrigate the terraced fields. Since then, Dingyang Mansion is no longer afraid of the annual heavy rain.

In addition, Wu Bai also went to the upper reaches of the river in Dingyang Mansion to lead the people to increase the height and width of the embankment, so as to save the people of Dingyang Mansion from a disaster.

Beijing Shangshufu

Xu Shangshu looked at the kneeling subordinates in front of him, and said in surprise: "What? There is no flood in Dingyang Mansion!"

"Yes, my lord. After Wu Bai took office, I don't know why he put his mind on the embankment and sent a large number of people to build the embankment. Therefore, Dingyang Mansion survived the flood this year." The subordinate replied.

"Useless trash, won't you trip him up?" Xu Shangshu said angrily.

"Na Wubai is extremely strict on guarding the embankment. In addition, he also hired a lot of insightful people as his staff to advise him. Now Dingyang Mansion is well-organized by him." The subordinate replied.

"What about Qiu Hongyi, as the magistrate of Dingyang, he just indulged Wu Bai to act recklessly under his nose?"

His subordinates explained: "Master Qiu saw Wu Bai was young, and felt contemptuous of him. By the time he wanted to suppress Wu Bai, it was too late. Wu Bai's prestige in Dingyang Mansion is very high, and the people support him very much. Master Qiu has nothing to do with him."

Xu Shangshu said angrily: "It's not good to be clear, wouldn't he come in the dark? And you, why don't you just sit and let Wu Bai become bigger?"

"This subordinate and others conspired several times with Mr. Qiu to assassinate Wu Bai, but Wu Bai is surrounded by masters to protect us, and all of our people will never return." This subordinate said helplessly.

"Useless trash, go down and receive the punishment yourself!" Xu Shangshu said indifferently.

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

Xu Shangshu was left alone wandering in the study, thinking about how to deal with Wu Bai next.

"Father, are you there?" Xu Jiayue's voice sounded from outside the study.

Xu Shangshu put away his ugly face, opened the door of the study, and looked at Xu Jiayue with a smile.

"Jiayue is back." Xu Shangshu said with a smile.

"Yeah, what did father do just now?"

"I didn't do anything, I was dealing with court affairs." Xu Shangshu concealed it.

"Father, you have to help me teach Yun Zhijing a good lesson." Xu Jiayue said coquettishly.

"What happened to him?" Xu Shangshu asked.

Since Wu Bai was transferred by Xu Shangshu, Xu Jiayue still felt a little bit reluctant at first, but as Yun Zhijing flattered her, her mind was gradually occupied by Yun Zhijing.

Yun Zhijing looks handsome, equally talented, and has a lot of fun. Every time he sees her, he will prepare a small gift for her. Although it is not expensive, it pleases her very much.

In this way, the two of them got married smoothly, and they have been married for four years now. The two of them have a good relationship on weekdays, and Xu Jiayue is quite envied among the young ladies. He left the Hanlin Academy and worked as a fifth-rank member Wailang in the household department.

"Yun Zhijing flirts with the servant girl in front of me." Xu Jiayue said aggrievedly.

"How could it be? Did you read it wrong?" Xu Shangshu felt a little unbelievable, since his daughter and son-in-law had a very good relationship since they got married, he didn't think Yun Zhijing would do such a thing.

At this moment, Yun Zhijing walked over from the eaves of the corridor. He first gave Xu Jiayue a comforting look, and then respectfully said to Xu Shangshu: "My son-in-law pays respects to his father-in-law."

"What's the matter with you two? Jiayue said that she saw you flirting with the maid?" Xu Shangshu planned to ask the situation first before speaking, he was worried that if he opened his mouth to blame Yun Zhijing, his daughter and son-in-law would reconcile later, which would make him a different person inside and out.

"Father-in-law misunderstood, my son-in-law has a beautiful wife like Jiayue in front of him, how can he like those vulgar fans." Yun Zhijing looked at Xu Jiayue affectionately.

Xu Jiayue's face turned red when he saw him, she already forgave him, and stared back affectionately.

Seeing this situation, Xu Shangshu still has nothing to ask, he left here silently, leaving space for them.

Sure enough, after a while, he saw his daughter and son-in-law coming hand in hand to say goodbye and leave.

"This Jiayue is getting more and more outrageous, she ran to her mother's house for such a trivial matter." Xu Shangshu lightly reprimanded.

Xu's mother rolled his eyes at him, and said, "It's not all because of your petting."

"Hahaha, my daughter is naturally something you can't dote on too much." Xu Shangshu laughed loudly.

In the suburbs of Beijing, outside the long pavilion.

Xiao Zimo hugged Wu Bai tightly, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Bai, I miss you so much."

Wu Bai hugged him back, greedy for his warmth, and whispered back: "Me too, I miss you so much."

"You are finally back."

"I'm finally back."

Yanshu and others rushed over on horseback, and when they saw the two embracing each other, they stood silently aside.

"The relationship between Young Master and Young Master Xiao is still so deep. After five years, especially when they separated, I thought their relationship would fade." Yan Shu sighed.

Yanqi glanced at him with the eyes of an idiot, and said: "Young Master, even if the relationship with you fades, he will not fade with Young Master Xiao."

Over the past few years, Yanqi has gained a lot of knowledge. He can naturally see that the relationship between Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo is different from that of ordinary schoolmates. Every time he sees Wu Bai's expression when he receives a letter from Xiao Zimo, it is even more exciting. He must have guessed in his heart, but fortunately, the young master's feelings were finally responded to.

Unlike him, facing a fool every day, he would never grow up, making him unable to do anything.

Xiao Zimo finally let go of Wu Bai and looked at his face carefully.

"Brother Bai seems to have lost a lot of weight."

"It's because my body is stretched and I've grown taller. Look, I'm in your ear now." Wu Bai gestured.

"Well, I have indeed grown taller, but I'm really skinny too thin, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I hugged it just now."

"Why, don't you dare to despise me?"

"Don't dare, it's just a little distressed. This time you come back, I will make up for you." Xiao Zimo said with distressed eyes.

"That's what you said. I'm going to go to your house for a long time to eat." Wu Bai raised his eyebrows.

"Well, I said it, just tell me what you want to eat." Xiao Zimo promised.

Now he is no longer a seventh-rank editor of the Imperial Academy, but a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Punishment, Wailang. Although this speed is similar to Yun Zhijing, the other party relied on Xu Shangshu to rise so fast, while Xiao Zimo relied on He was promoted only after he repeatedly solved strange cases in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Just as Wu Bai stepped into the gate of Xiao's residence, he saw a child running towards him quickly and crashing into his arms.

"Ziyu, come out of Brother Bai's arms soon." Xiao Zimo said in a deep voice.

Xiao Ziyu looked up at Wu Bai, only to realize that he was hugging the wrong person, he quickly got out of Wu Bai's arms, and just when he was about to change direction and dive into Xiao Zimo's arms, he saw Xiao Zimo's face was ugly, He was a little frightened, so he had no choice but to stand still and twiddle his little finger.

"This is the brother you mentioned in the letter, so cute." Wu Bai pinched Xiao Ziyu's little face.

Xiao Ziyu covered his cheeks and looked at Wu Bai with big watery eyes.

"Your little brother is so cute, yet you still hate him. If that's the case, then I'll take him back and raise him." Wu Bai stretched out his hands towards Xiao Ziyu.

Xiao Ziyu also subconsciously wanted to throw himself into Wu Bai's arms, but the next second he felt his brother's terrifying gaze, and quickly withdrew his hands behind his back.

"I still have to take care of Brother Bai, so go and play first." Xiao Zimo hurriedly said.

"Don't attack him!" Wu Bai glared at Xiao Zimo, then took Xiao Ziyu's little hand and walked towards the hall.

Xiao Zimo looked at Wu Bai aggrievedly, as if complaining that Wu Bai abandoned himself for this brat.

In the hall, Mother Xiao saw Wu Bai leading Xiao Ziyu in. She couldn't help but blushed. She didn't expect that she would be able to conceive again in her old age. Now that the two sons go out, others suspect that they are father and son. The two brothers look alike.

It was also for this reason that she tried to propose a good marriage to Xiao Zimo, but she always failed. No one wanted her daughter to have such a big child when she just entered the house, even if she explained that Xiao Zimo and Xiao Ziyu were just married. Brother, but the other people agreed with their mouths, but their eyes accused her of trying to cover up.

"Master Wu is here." Mother Xiao said enthusiastically.

"Greetings to Uncle and Aunt." Wu Bai said politely.

"You don't need to see outsiders like this. I heard from Zimo that you are working outside, and now you are back?" Mother Xiao asked.

"I'm going back to Beijing to report on my work this time, and I will probably stay in the capital in the future." Wu Bai nodded.

"That's great, Zimo has been talking about you to us all these years." Mother Xiao said happily.

……

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother were too enthusiastic, coupled with Xiao Zimo's persuasion, Wu Bai simply stayed at Xiao's house for lunch.

During the meal, Xiao Zimo kept picking food for Wu Bai, without caring about himself. Wu Bai knew that he felt sorry for him, so he didn't refuse. The other party gave him something, and he ate it all. Knowing Wu Bai's food intake, he didn't frantically keep picking. He guessed that Wu Bai ate about the same, so he took the initiative to stop the chopsticks.

Mother Xiao looked at the way the two got along, and always felt that something was wrong.

At night, when she was lying on the bed, a thought popped into her mind, that Xiao Zimo's way of taking care of Wu Bai was exactly the same as when her father Xiao Ziyu was taking care of her when she was pregnant with Xiao Ziyu.

Thinking of this, Xiao's mother couldn't sleep. She sat up and wanted to ask Xiao Zimo to understand. She had just put on her shoes, and then remembered that Xiao Zimo would get up early tomorrow to go to work in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so she had to take off her shoes and start over again. Lie back on the bed.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Father Xiao was awakened by her movement.

"It's okay, I just wanted to go to the latrine, but suddenly I didn't want to." Mother Xiao explained with an excuse.

She was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and she didn't feel sleepy until dawn. When she got up at noon, she asked the servants in the mansion, and she got the news that Xiao Zimo had gone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

After thinking about it, she hesitated and came to Wu's mansion, wanting to confirm with Wu Bai, but was told that Wu Bai was not at the mansion, so she had no choice but to go back to Xiao's mansion.
