I can tell fortunes, so I’m not easy to mess with [Cross Book]

It wasn't the first time that the two of them fell asleep in the same bed, but since then they could really get along with each other in an open and aboveboard manner, which was of great significance. Lu Yu was so excited that he didn't sleep much all night, and went directly to court in the morning.

He was reluctant to leave, but the emperor of the state of Jin did not have marriage leave, if he went late, Bai Yiling might be gossiping.

Bai Yiling woke up briefly when Lu Yu left, and then continued to sleep with his head covered. When he really woke up, half of the bed around him was already cold. He lay down for a while, then sat up slowly, his bones seemed to be torn apart over again.

Bai Yiling said angrily: "System, get out, I don't want this badge of dragon spirit tiger fierce fox!"

【drop!Go to bed early at night and feel good today!Pure love system, online service, another day full of energy.ヽ(￣▽￣)】

Bai Yiling felt that he had been subtly squeezed.

The system immediately responded to his protest: [Your "Dragon Spirit Tiger Tiger Fox" is a customized badge and cannot be resold, it is non-refundable and non-exchangeable, dear.Here I suggest that you get used to it a little bit. 】

This system feels really stupid when it is stupid, and it is really stupid when it is stupid. I don’t know how such an unreliable thing works until now.Bai Yiling's waist was sore and his back was aching, he was extremely annoyed, and he said in a bad mood: "With all due respect, are you sick?"

The system said: [Yes. 】

Bai Yiling: "Then go and treat it!"

[I also want to go back to the factory for repairs, but I can't go back. 】

The system is very sad: [This system is only responsible for issuing missions and issuing rewards. It has no authority to choose hosts and specific plots, and cannot independently unbind. 】

Bai Yiling hadn't thought about this before, but was reminded by the system by chance, so he inquired about it in detail, only then did he know that the system was really flawed, and the reason for the problem lay with himself.

A host matches a system. At first, the system was bound to the traverser Han Xian, but due to Bai Yiling's jedi counterattack, the traverser was squeezed away, and the system lost its support, so it could only be bound to him instead. Bai Yiling carried out data analysis based on his own conditions, and customized new tasks.

This has never been done before, and in the process of being forced to unbind and rebind, the system lost some data, so there were certain problems in terms of functionality and IQ (…).

Fortunately, Bai Yiling, the new host, is more capable, so the mission was not affected too much.

Bai Yiling didn't think there was anything wrong with taking his body back, but it sounds like the system is actually very innocent. He asked, "That is to say, you have to unbind before returning to the factory for repairs, right?"

He pondered: "Then what are the conditions for unbinding? To complete the goal you first set...'One person is under ten thousand people'?"

In fact, he feels that this goal has been almost accomplished, and the points have been earned enough.

The system said: [I don't know, this system has never successfully led the host to complete the final task, so I have no experience. 】

Bai Yiling: "..." Endure it, it is also responsible for its mental retardation.

The system suddenly remembered another thing: [However, for a while yesterday morning, I suddenly felt as if I was about to lose contact with the host, but it disappeared quickly. 】

Bai Yiling said: "Is it..."

System: [It's not for eating melons.My melons are very expensive melons. 】

Bai Yiling really hopes that the system has a body, so that it can be kicked: "... I want to say, did I accidentally do something very closely related to the task at that time, so I almost could unbind it. It was your signal Was it a bad time?"

The system said yes, Bai Yiling thought about it, and at that time he seemed to be on the Mingguang Terrace with Lu Yu, thinking.But there is no need to worry about this matter, and you can slowly explore it. At least the current problems have been successfully solved. Both Lu Yu and him have to adapt to the new life.

Flowers bloom and leaves fall, autumn is gone and spring is coming, a year is fleeting. Although the new emperor does not act according to common sense, he governs the country well. , never leave.

Life was peaceful.

During this year, the biggest change that happened was that the second lady of the Zhen Guogong's mansion, Sheng Li, also got married, and the man was Zhou Gaohuai, the Minister of Rites.

Zhou Gaohuai was born as the No. [-] scholar and was Li Xiang's protégé. He rose to the position of minister at a young age. Although he has the help of his teacher, it can be said that he has a bright future and outstanding abilities.

It's just that Zhou Gaohuai's family was poor, not from a noble family, and Sheng Li was the adopted daughter of the princess, so marrying him was a low marriage. When the marriage was just decided, the secrets of it were discussed for a long time.

When Sheng Li got married, Bai Yiling happened to go to Lin County to investigate the case, and was not there. As a result, two months later, when he came back, he heard that his second sister had married without warning. He didn't give any news, he was taken aback at that time, and asked Sheng Zhi again, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Don't mention it." Sheng Zhi took a deep breath like a toothache, and said, "I'm upset when I talk about it—do you still remember our unlucky second uncle?"

Of course, Bai Yiling remembered that Sheng Hao, Sheng Mian's concubine's younger brother, wanted to use Gao Guilie's hand to trick him, but he accidentally tricked Sang Hongrui, and was sentenced to exile from the army. In less than half a year, he was accidentally beaten in a military coup died.At that time, everyone talked about it and suspected that he was killed by Sang Hongjin secretly.

At the same time, Sheng Hao is also Sheng Li's biological father, but Sheng Li was born of an affair between his parents, and later Sheng Hao killed her own mother. unwilling.

"I still can't forget this." Bai Yiling said suspiciously, "Isn't he already dead? What does this matter have to do with him?"

Sheng Zhi sighed and said: "Don't mention it, the lingering ghost is because of him."

A child born to parents through adultery is a "child of adultery". No matter how noble your blood is, as long as you have the word "born of adultery", your status will be much lower than that of a concubine.Normally, members of the Sheng family never mentioned it, and outsiders didn't know about it, so since Sheng Hao's death, Sheng Li never thought about it.

Not long ago, just after Bai Yiling left the capital, someone found Sheng Li, claiming to be a distant relative of Sheng Hao, who knew her background, and asked Sheng Li for money.

Sheng knew: "At that time, my mother was going to discuss marriage with my younger sister. I don't know if he thought of coming to blackmail after hearing the news. That kid has some distant relatives with Sheng Hao, so he was originally exiled, but because he is He was implicated, so he released it very quickly. He probably heard Sheng Hao mention this matter before, so he came to blackmail him and told his younger sister to ask her to pay 1000 taels of silver as a hush money. This matter can be ignored , otherwise everyone will know about it, and she will never even think about getting married."

Bai Yiling said, "And then?"

Sheng Zhi said that what Sheng Li hated the most in his life was being involved with Sheng Hao. The person who came to blackmail her was not only a relative of Sheng Hao, but also very rascal in his words. Sheng Li became anxious on the spot and ordered his servants to beat him.

As a result, the little gangster who dared to come to blackmail the lady of the Duke of Zhen's mansion was not unprepared. He also brought a group of cronies with him. As a result, the two sides fought in a scuffle. In the end, Zhou Gaohuai passed by and helped Sheng Li out of the siege.

Bai Yiling said: "Too impulsive."

Sheng Zhi also thought so, and nodded: "You also know that little sister is too twisted and arrogant. Back then, she could have explained to her family that the second uncle was her biological father, but she just insisted on it." In the final analysis, I still feel ashamed. This time too, the little bastard drove her into a hurry with a few words, but the more this happened, the bigger the trouble."

Bai Yiling said: "So it's because Zhou Gaohuai saved her that she fell in love with Zhou Gaohuai?"

He felt that such a thing as a hero saving the beauty was not easy to impress his second lady.

Sheng knew: "No, it was those gangsters who shouted out the identity of the little girl during the fight, so this matter was not covered up. People's words are terrible, and the families who were originally of similar status were unwilling to accept her. A daughter-in-law like her didn’t even get married. Later Zhou Gaohuai came to the door and said that he didn’t care about my younger sister’s background and wanted to marry her, but my younger sister wanted to marry her, but my parents couldn’t persuade her, so in the end it was up to her.”

In fact, Sheng Zhi had already made the matter very simple with just a few words.Sheng Li loves to be in the wrong. After her identity was spread, everyone knew that her mother was a concubine who stole men, her father died in exile, and she herself was a child of adultery. The original adopted daughter of a princess was suddenly shunned by everyone. I'm afraid that it won't be enough, and no one can stand it for a while.

Sheng Li also knew that it might not be easy for her to find a good husband's family. Zhou Gaohuai was young and promising, and she was able to say such words. She was half excited, and half felt that given her current situation, being able to marry the Minister of Rites was not bad. , so I identified Zhou Gaohuai, insisted on marrying, and hoped that the marriage would be as soon as possible, and let those people who said that no one would like her see her.

She insisted on arguing about it, but Sheng Mian and Lu Mo disagreed, and even Sheng Ji went to talk to her sister several times.Just because Zhou Gaohuai was born in poverty, and Sheng Li was used to rich clothes and rich food, the two were not a good match.

It's not that the people in Zhen Guogong's mansion hate the poor and love the rich, but that in many cases, the living habits and growth experiences are too different, and it is not so easy to live together.

But Sheng Li was eager to save face, and refused to listen to him, and after a few times of tossing, he still married.That's exactly the case, Sheng Mian and Lu Mo knew that Bai Yiling's work was dangerous and hard, and they were afraid that he would be distracted, so after discussing it, they didn't tell him these things.

Sure enough, on the day of the wedding, a group of relatives came from Zhou Gaohuai's family from the countryside. It is said that not only were they excited to have a bridal chamber, but they even wanted to count the bride's dowry, which made Sheng Li very unhappy. It was canceled.

This series of events made Bai Yiling feel bad when he heard it. One can imagine how bad the mood of the family has been recently.

His relationship with Sheng Li was not very close at home, and he also felt that it was inappropriate for her to do so, but now it has been nearly a month since they got married, if he also complained, besides making the family even more unhappy, it would be a little bit Useless.

Bai Yiling said: "You can't say that. It's the two of them who are going to get married. The second sister likes Zhou Gaohuai. Naturally, he likes everything. It may not be impossible to live together. After all, Zhou Gaohuai's family doesn't live with them. Let me talk to my parents, so they don't worry about it."

People who don't know Bai Yiling know that he works in the North Inspection Department, and when they hear about what he has done, they will definitely imagine this person as stern, indifferent, and ruthless.Only those who are close to him can feel that when Bai Yiling faces his relatives and friends, his words are always gentle and comfortable, with a kind of calm and considerate.

Sheng Zhi shook his head and smiled, and patted Bai Yiling's head: "Boy, you can really talk. I hope."

He got up and straightened his clothes: "This is how life is in this world. You can't always go your way, and you can only think about it for the better. For example, I have been single for so long. Didn't it mean that I haven't found the love fox of my dreams? Urgent, take your time to find... Ah, by the way, little brother, when will you invite your Majesty to come to our house and touch it for me."

It's nothing to worry about touching the emperor, this is the only one in the world, Bai Yiling was speechless for a moment: "I don't think you need to bother so much, just find a feather duster and you can pass."

He also stood up and said, "Let's go, go home."

During the period when Bai Yiling left the capital, not only the Sheng family was thinking about it, but Lu Yu was thinking about him too much. If he hadn't been busy with political affairs, he would have already run over.Before Bai Yiling entered the city, he went out to pick him up in person, and directly got him to live in the palace for two days before he was willing to release him, so Bai Yiling hadn't seen Sheng Li's husband's family yet.

At noon on this day, the in-laws and the family were going to make up tables at the Duke of Zhen's mansion to make up for the regret that the banquet on the wedding day was only half done. Sheng Zhi just came to pick up his younger brother home. By the way, he told him the whole story, so that Bai Yiling would have a better idea. Prepare.

Both brothers hoped that the banquet would pass safely, but unfortunately this good wish could not be realized after all.

As soon as Bai Yiling entered the gate of Sheng's house, the maid outside trotted in to make an announcement. After a while, Lu Mo hurried out from the main hall, dragging his youngest son over to examine him.

Sheng Zhi deliberately said: "Mother, here are two sons, you can hold one in each arm."

Lu Mo's disgusted face: "Go away." She touched Bai Yiling's face distressedly, "You poor child, you run around like a little mad dog every day, and you have been away from home for more than two months. What has become of it?"

Sheng Zhi laughed at the side, Bai Yiling also smiled and said, "Second Brother, I'm going to bite you."

Sheng Zhi said with a smile: "Don't, don't, you have such a good appetite, you'd better wait for the banquet at noon today. Mother, don't stand here, let's go in."

Sheng Mian also came out of the room, and smiled and asked the mother and son to go in. Lu Mo reluctantly let go of the younger son, but Bai Yiling took her hand, and put a jade bracelet on it, and looked at it carefully. He smiled and said, "Let's go."

The place where he was on a business trip this time was rich in jade wares, and Bai Yiling bought things for everyone in the family, but the people Sheng Duo and Sheng Ji went to pick up the Zhou family were not at the house.He teased Sheng Yuan and Sheng Ying for a while, until the two children were yelling that they were hungry, and then a large group of people from the other end entered the town's mansion noisily.

Bai Yiling was mentally prepared, and went out with a smile on his face. The ones walking in the front were Sheng Li and a tall, thin young man, who looked very refined and clean. It was Zhou Gaohuai, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Sheng Duo hadn't seen his younger brother for a long time, so he patted Bai Yiling on the shoulder and introduced him to them.Zhou Gaohuai had just been promoted, and had heard of Bai Yiling's reputation, but he hadn't expected him to be so stunning, so he was startled for a moment, and quickly saluted him first, calling him "Prince King".

Bai Yiling bowed and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is so polite, just call me Xia Guang."

Zhou Gaohuai was a little surprised by his modest tone, Sheng Zhi said with a smile: "My son-in-law is here, so I'm naturally nervous. All right, Yuxin, little sister, let's all go in."

Just as Bai Yiling was thinking, isn't this pretty good, when he heard someone sighing in a low voice from behind: "This yard is too big, and the paintings on the porch pillars are all poured out of gold. How much does this cost!"

These words were not in a high pitch, but because they were catching up with the silence around them, Lu Mo Shengmian and the others in front might not have heard them, but Bai Yiling Shengzhi and the others could hear them clearly.

Everyone was well-educated, and when they heard this, although they didn't know what they were thinking, they didn't show surprise on their faces, but Zhou Gaohuai's face turned red all of a sudden.

It was his aunt who spoke.

Logically speaking, this banquet should be held by the man, because Zhou Gaohuai's family is poor and he doesn't have a house in the capital, so Sheng Mian said that he invited his in-laws to the Zhen Guogong's mansion, and everyone had a meal together.

They originally invited only Zhou's father, Zhou's mother, and Zhou Gaohuai's eldest brother Zhou Gaoming's family.It turned out that Zhou's father and Zhou's mother also wanted to let their relatives see what kind of place the Duke and Princess lived, and even brought the seven aunts and eight aunts here to show off their noble daughter-in-law , In this way, there were nearly twenty more people at once.

Although the status of the Sheng family is naturally much higher than that of the Zhou family, but they are filial, since it is Sheng Li's husband's family, they can't lose face when they first visit.Sheng Duo's wife, Nie Ying, was by the side, just smiling slightly and not speaking.

Seeing this, Zhou Gaohuai's aunt quietly dragged Zhou's mother aside and muttered: "Look at this place, it's big and bright, and it's much better than Ahuai's place. If I can live in it, I'll enjoy it a lot. A Ye will not be able to get a good grade in the future." Much more convenient."

The two whispered, which almost made Nie Ying laugh angrily.A group of people entered the hall, and the men sat in front of them talking, and she ordered her servants to prepare seats for the extra staff and increase the dishes.

After the arrangements were made, Nie Ying returned to the back hall, just in time for Lu Mo and Sheng Li to be talking. Bai Yiling had just returned from the outside, and was not there to accompany the guests. He stood at the side with arms folded, frowning slightly.

Seeing Nie Ying coming in, Bai Yiling called out, "Sister-in-law."

Nie Ying nodded at him with a smile, and stuffed a plate of dim sum in her hand to Bai Yiling: "Little brother went out and saw that he lost weight, I brought this from the kitchen for you to eat."

Bai Yiling laughed and thanked her, but it was rare that Lu Mo didn't chat with them, just sat with a straight face, Sheng Li lowered his head and dared not speak, the atmosphere was oppressive.

Nie Ying looked at Bai Yiling suspiciously, and Bai Yiling shrugged.He can scare people, and he can also use stereotypes, but he is really not good at making people happy with an active atmosphere. After thinking about it, he passed the snack over: "Mom, eat."

Lu Mo glanced up at the dim sum angrily, and finally couldn't help being amused when she met the sincere eyes of her youngest son.

With her smile, the tension in the room eased a bit, and Nie Ying smiled and said, "It's rare to see my mother so angry. If I don't have my younger brother, I'd be scared to death. What's the matter?"

Lu Mo sighed, and knew it was useless to lose her temper at this time, so she told the matter.

It turned out to be about Sheng Li.Previously, Zhou's mother wanted Zhou Gaohuai to find a job for the elder brother of the Zhou family, but even though Zhou Gaohuai, as a servant of the Ministry of Rites, was still inexperienced and limited in ability, Zhou Gaoming thought that the position and salary were too low for him to arrange, so he was unwilling. The family felt that Zhou Gao was not doing his best, and wanted to persuade Sheng Li to go back to Sheng's house.

With Sheng Li's arrogance, he naturally wouldn't open this mouth to his natal family. It was Lu Mo's repeated questioning. Hearing about Zhou's father and Zhou mother's various unreasonable and ignorant behaviors, he was very unhappy.

The Nie family and the Sheng family are family friends. Although Nie Ying is a daughter-in-law, she is not as cautious as ordinary people. Hearing this, she couldn't help telling what Zhou's mother said to Zhou's aunt just now, and said: "Little sister, It's not that I'm troublesome, but how is your life in Zhou's family? If you don't talk about your parents, you will be worried. Why do I think my brother-in-law's parents seem to be partial?"

She had already said it very euphemistically, Sheng Li sighed, and had no choice but to say: "He is partial to the eldest son. Yu Xin has a reputation, but his elder brother's family can only work hard in farming, so the parents-in-law always feel that they have a crush on his elder brother." I owe you a debt, so I want Yuxin to make up for it."

After she finished speaking lightly, she added: "But Yuxin still treats me very well."
