Qin Liang wanted to get up late, but he was woken up by a knock on the door early in the morning.

When he opened the door, Qin Liang was still a little sleepy. Then he heard Rao Dashan say that several people were coming outside in cars, carrying wooden boxes, claiming to be from the Wang family.

Qin Liang immediately woke up and remembered what he had said to Wang Xuanji in the market yesterday. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and thought to himself: Did he really come to return things so early in the morning?

Although he thought it was strange, he still wanted to receive him. Qin Liang quickened his movements, turned around and walked into the back room, put on his clothes very quickly, then faced the mythical beast square mirror produced in Soochow, straightened his bun and tied a scarf.

The two walked through the yard, and when Rao Dashan opened the door, Qin Liang saw several men and women waiting at the door with their things.

The most eye-catching thing is a beautiful lady in her thirties or forties who is standing in the middle. She wears a high wig on her head, a fox green fur coat, leopard print decorations on the sleeves, and a

Some shiny jewelry.

Perhaps because of the prejudice in Qin Liang's heart about leopard prints, his first impression of this noble lady seemed to be that of an older actress. However, he immediately realized that this woman was both rich and somewhat aloof.

Status, for example, the leopard print on the sleeves is a ritual specification, but in today's world, rituals and music have long since collapsed, so it is not so strict.

"My surname is Bai, General Zhengdong, from the Tinghou Mansion in Yicheng." the lady said.

Her self-proclaimed position, her emphasis on the rank and title of her family, and her lack of salutes first made Qin Liang immediately feel that the person who came here was unkind.

Based on this, Qin Liang speculated that this woman should be Wang Ling's concubine Bai. He had some idea in his mind. He then observed the noble lady named Bai and found that compared with Wang Xuanji's facial features, this woman did not look like her at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there were some differences.

Similar shadows.

Qin Liang cupped his hands and said, "I am Qin Liang, please stop."

Bai folded her hands in front of her and did not bend down. She just paused for a moment, then lightly picked up her fox fur and led several people into the gatehouse.

As soon as she came in, she looked around unscrupulously, taking in the scene in the courtyard. She had a look of disgust on her face, and she didn't even need to pretend. This courtyard was given to her for free by Cao Shuang. It turned out to be mostly a private house, with floors and walls.

The place is indeed a bit crude and rough, but it is very spacious and actually quite comfortable to live in.

Qin Liang took Bai's expression into consideration and even suspected that she would soon cover her nose with her hands and act more exaggeratedly. The actress' acting skills were good. At this time, he was not happy anymore and couldn't help but curse: What are you pretending to do?

When I was acting, I never suffered any grievances or hardships. At least I didn’t need to be servile and grovel to others.

Why should I respect others if they don't respect me? When the group arrived in the upper room, Qin Liang stopped being polite. He took off his shoes directly, knelt down and sat on the bed with a few desks on it, then casually waved his robe sleeves and said, "Please Madam

Take a seat."

Bai frowned and glanced at the mats and old wooden boards on the floor. After weighing the balance, she finally sat down on the bed next to her. In fact, these things were a bit old, but Dong was very diligent and cleaned them very clean. She even knelt on the ground to pick up a cloth.

Come on, this woman named Bai is just pretending.

"Bring it up." Bai raised his hand and made a feint of planing motion.

Immediately, two male servants came in, holding two wooden boxes, one large and one small. They walked up and placed them on the bed where Qin Liang was sitting on his knees, and opened the wooden boxes. In an instant, bright and shining colors were revealed inside.

Qin Liang acted very calmly. He just took a glance and saw clearly what was inside.

The small box contained several gold-copper alloy pancakes. There were some visible impurities on the surface of the alloy, and half a box of various copper and iron coins. The big box contained a box full of silk fabrics, including silk,

As well as a small amount of moist yellow stored linen cloth, they are indeed precious silk fabrics.

In fact, these things are money. Heavy metals and textiles can be used as money. Grain can also be used, but it is more bulky.

Qin Liang looked at Bai with cold eyes, waiting for her to speak first.

Bai Shi said: "Please Qin Jun accept the gift."

Qin Liang shook his head and said: "No name, no status, why should I accept it?"

Bai Shi sneered: "I know it in my heart, do you need me to say more?"

Qin Liang showed a fake smile and said calmly: "A wise man doesn't speak secretly, so Mrs. Bai might as well speak more clearly."

In fact, he had roughly understood what she meant, but he just couldn't accept it. In Qin Liang's view, this matter was a bit cliché, but he felt more puzzling. Shouldn't he have successfully hooked up with Miss Qianjin before he could do this?

Appeared? Nothing has happened now, but this leopard-print woman throws money at her. The key point is that her nose is still facing the sky. Who are you looking down on?

Bai Shi snorted, "How could I not know what Qin Junduan is thinking? What you are planning is probably not the work of a gentleman!"

Qin Liang looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He spread his hands and said, "Then what exactly did I do?"

Then Wang Xuanji ran out on her own. I just looked at beautiful women twice in public. Is it a crime? Qin Liang felt that his crime was obviously not looking at beautiful women, but that he was too small and too poor. If it were someone else who was powerful,

, this Bai family definitely doesn’t look like this. In the eyes of this kind of woman, I’m afraid ordinary people’s breathing is wrong!

His anger gradually lost control and began to rise.

Bai's expression was probably one of anger and disgust. She stretched out her hand and pressed her heart, as if to suppress her anger, and then waved her hand: "You guys go down first."

"Here." The slave delivering the things bent down and exited the room.

At this time, Mrs. Bai became even more rude and said coldly: "You wrote a few shabby poems for Chaoyun, and then sent satin and banquets. You were so attentive to Chaoyun in every possible way. Is a prostitute worth this?

, what are the benefits? I think you are basically Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword with the intention of Pei Gong! You deliberately make Xuan Ji jealous, so that she can lose her mind due to jealousy and take advantage of it. "

"Ha!" Qin Liang laughed angrily after hearing this, stroking his hands and said, "You think too much."

The feeling of being wronged is uncomfortable, and it can easily arouse people's anger. But the other party is a woman. Qin Liang has trouble with women the most, and always feels that there is no very effective way.

Sure enough, after Mrs. Bai scolded her, she covered her face and cried: "Xuanji is my only support. How can I live if you treat me like this? Oh my god, I will never let you go even if I am a ghost!"

Qin Liang knew that she was pretending to cry, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Bai's tone changed, and she gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Xuan Ji is only more than ten years old, and she doesn't understand the dangers of the world. She can only see the surface, and thinks you are a talented, virtuous, and well-groomed gentleman. You are a gentleman."

Being seduced by a despicable prostitute, Xuanji would think, what makes her inferior to that prostitute Chaoyun? As long as she falls into the trap, she will fall deeper and deeper, without thinking about reflection, completely unable to wake up that she will

What to pay!”

Qin Liang was angry and angry. He didn't even think to himself, could he be that vicious? Besides, even if he was not worthy of Wang Ling's concubine and gave birth to a daughter, it would be so bad?

Seeing that Mrs. Bai was very emotional, he really didn't want to make a fuss at home. Moreover, the woman was not always tough, and pretending to cry was a sign of weakness. Therefore, Qin Liang was not only full of anger towards her, but also had mixed feelings about her. Anyway, he was disgusted.

He frowned and was silent for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Mrs. Bai may have some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Bai Shi sneered, "You were able to deceive Xuan Ji and me?"

Qin Liang was almost speechless, but he still forced himself to explain: "You'd better know more about the situation. Those who are careful must prepare the scene. I have only met Wang Xuanji twice, the first time was in court.

The second meeting at the place chosen by Yun was purely accidental, and I couldn't have planned it at all. What's more, I can't even be considered a friend with her, there is almost no relationship at all. Is Madam Bai overthinking it?"

But Bai still said: "Don't be so glib! I've brought so much money and I'm treating you well. I advise you to accept it when you're happy and don't be greedy!"

Sure enough, the woman couldn't reason with her. Qin Liang was so annoyed that he got out of bed and put on his shoes, and said coldly: "I already understand Mrs. Bai's appeal. In any case, I will not take the initiative to contact Wang Xuanji. The matter is

That's the end of it, take your things back. Please take them back."

Bai Shi was still dissatisfied: "Are you really not going to pester Xuan Ji anymore?"

"Why should a man worry about not having a wife? Mrs. Bai really looks down on people. Even if you are willing, I am not willing to get married to you." Qin Liang said, and then shouted outside without explanation, "Come, let's see the guests off."

Mrs. Bai was a little worried and said: "Qin Jun, please leave your property. I am not short of this."

"What's the taste of the food you brought here?" Qin Liang was angry in his heart, but he could only smile on his face, "If Mrs. Bai doesn't take it away, I'll throw it outside the courtyard gate and let passers-by take it. I'll treat it as a sinister virtue for you."

Bai took a few hard breaths and said, "The mouth is too damaged!"

"Both each other." Qin Liang said.

Bai took a look at the box on the bed. After all, it wasn't that generous. With a look of reluctance, she called the servant. The box was closed again and taken away.

Qin Liang walked to the eaves of the upper room and stood there. Rao Dashan heard the order to "see off the guests" and sent those people outside the gate. After a while, Rao Dashan closed the door and walked back to the upper room.

, the flesh on his face was also a little red, and he cursed angrily: "His mother looks down on others!"

"You don't need to be as knowledgeable as a woman who doesn't know the general situation." Qin Liang said while holding back his anger.

Looking back at this simple courtyard, he couldn't help but think to himself: I thought that only the powerless people at the bottom would be trampled and humiliated wantonly, but it turned out that if you become an official and have a low status, you will not be immune.

However, he soon figured out something and became less depressed.

People who are truly hopeless will feel completely helpless and deeply powerless when faced with all this. The only way is to change their spiritual world and make themselves as numb as possible to the feeling of mental pain. The so-called bearishness is the so-called liberation of life.

Enlightenment, the so-called rare confusion.
