The officers and soldiers suppressed their expressions, lowered their heads, and hurried away.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold it in and would laugh like a pig.
The maid was surprised and opened her mouth. This ninth-level inspector actually had more than two hundred subordinates with him. He seemed to have a lot of background, and it was not as simple as it seemed.
Then she thought about it. How could an ordinary miscellaneous inspector write such a good poem? He was definitely not an ordinary person.
Bai Yu and the maid went straight to the third floor, and saw Lan Shuang waiting at the door. She had a delicate and white oval face, holding a small light fan, wearing an emerald green smoke gauze skirt, with a slim figure and a slender waist.
It looks so lovely and touching that one can't help but want to hold her in his arms to keep her warm, protect her from the wind and rain, and even die for her.
Seeing Bai Yu, she was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn't expect that the person who wrote such a good poem was actually the inspector, but she quickly realized it, smiled lightly and bowed to Wanfu, "Sir, please come in."
It was such a nice voice, soft and continuous. Bai Yu felt his heart melt. Thinking of her serving smelly men every day, he felt heartache. He wished he could give them a Sunflower Book!
Lan Shuang welcomed Bai Yu into the house, sat down on the brocade couch, and made tea with her own hands. Bai Yu was mesmerized by the sight. Every move she made was so graceful. As the saying goes, "A woman is like water." This is what a woman should look like.
, which is vividly reflected in her.
Bai Yu suddenly felt that he didn't hate those stinky men so much, he just felt sorry for her.
"Sir, what are you looking at?"
Perhaps sensing Bai Yu's gaze, she raised her head while making tea.
"Looking at you."
Bai Yu stared at her eyes. How could there be such clear and pure eyes in the world? It was like the small lake at the foot of the Snowy Mountains was made entirely of melted snow. How could it not be clear?
Lan Shuang's clear eyes did not dodge, and she looked at Bai Yu. Then she felt a little embarrassed, her long eyelashes like a fan lowered, and she looked down at the tea being brewed.
Oh my God, Bai Yu felt like he was falling. Even if he just looked at her quietly and did nothing, he wouldn't feel bored.
Lan Shuang poured out a cup of brewed tea and placed it in front of Bai Yu. Then she took out a brocade handkerchief embroidered with orchids and copied Bai Yu's poem on it.
Bai Yu watched her write while drinking tea. Her handwriting was very soft, just like her.
As she wrote, she seemed to have remembered something interesting. She lowered her eyes and smiled softly, "Young master should practice calligraphy more."
Bai Yu knows himself very well, "My biggest shortcoming is that I cannot endure hardship. I am not destined to be wealthy but suffer from the disease of wealth. I will definitely not be able to do something as boring as practicing calligraphy."
Lan Shuang looked sad, "Young Master is an official, but I am from a humble background. I was despised by my parents since I was a child and sold into this boat. I look glamorous on the outside, but who knows the pain behind it? As the poem written by the Young Master
The last line of the poem contains a hint of beauty."
Bai Yu didn't know what to say. When he wrote this poem, he only thought about connecting "lan" and "frost", and didn't think so much...
Seemingly knowing that it would be bad to reveal her true thoughts in front of her benefactor, Lan Shuang restrained her emotions, and a smile appeared on her delicate and white oval face, "Let's not talk about these sad things. Compared with the sisters in the painting, I am quite lucky.
You don’t have to work so hard to clear up the poor people.”
Qinghuan? Bai Yu was startled, and secretly scolded the painted boat for "hanging a sheep's head to buy dog meat." It turned out that the guests who entered the curtain were just for tea and chat. He felt uncomfortable and a little happy at the same time. The uncomfortable thing was that he couldn't kiss Fangze.
I'm so happy that Bai Shuang doesn't have to serve those stinky men and has taken back the Sunflower Book.
Lan Shuang told Bai Yu a few pieces of music, sang a few songs, and danced a few dances. Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Yu consciously left.
"I send you off to the young master."
Lan Shuang and Bai Yu went downstairs together.
When passing by the second floor, she heard some strange noises. She glanced at Bai Yu with a hot face, and Bai Yu felt depressed for a while. He, the "winner", was not as happy as others.
She walked all the way to the door of the painting boat and watched Bai Yu get on the boat. She knelt down and gave a Wanfu gift, "Lan Shuang will definitely treasure this poem for you, and live up to your kindness. I look forward to your next visit."
Being blown by the cold wind on the river, Bai Yu felt that he had a big head and was wronged. He spent the money and gave away the poems, but in the end he got nothing.
Seeing the officers and soldiers standing alone on the shore, shivering from the cold, Bai Yu felt less uncomfortable, "Why don't you go back first?"
The officer and soldier's teeth chattered, "Young...Young person will get scolded if you go back alone."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Bai Yu smiled and patted the officer on the shoulder. He deserved it! He didn't tell him earlier that Lan Shuang was a Qing Guan! If Lan Shuang wasn't a Qing Guan, would it have taken him so long?
...
In the next few days, Bai Yu went to the county school's library to read every day. Don't ask why he read, because he had no money.
He asked the officers and soldiers about the movements of the adults sent from above. The officers and soldiers did not know very well. They only knew that those adults left early in the morning and came back late every day. There was a lot of mud on their shoes and grass seeds on their clothes.
It is enough to know this. Obviously, those adults go to Bajiaoting to Linfu County to survey the section of road every day.
It is worth mentioning that due to Bai Yu's poem, life on the boat on the river has been booming these days, to the point where it is hard to get a table, and the price of admission has soared from half a tael to one tael, and I heard that it is even more expensive.
Scholars from other counties came to have a look.
On the sixth day, early in the morning, officers and soldiers knocked on Bai Yu's door and told him that he could go home.
Go home? Bai Yu was stunned for a moment. The word "go home" felt both familiar and unfamiliar to him.
The sixteen government officials who also learned the news cried and hugged each other.
"I'm home, I can finally go home."
"Old mother, are you still there?"
"Cai Feng, my Cai Feng."......
To be precise, fifteen government officials cried bitterly. The old government official just sighed, took out a betel nut from his trousers, chewed it, and asked Bai Yu if he wanted it. Bai Yu shook his head and said no.
"go home......"
Bai Yu had to consider this issue. According to the information Tiger gave him, the inspector had a wife and children. In other words, he was about to have a wife.
Not only do I have a wife, but I also have a son...
Finally, Bai Yu came to the conclusion, "Double happiness is coming."
Since everyone was from Qifeng County, Jingzhao Prefecture, Bai Yu took sixteen government servants and rode on mules and horses together on the road.
When passing by the yamen gate, Bai Yu thought of Lin Ping'an, a young man he met on the way to exile. He didn't know what the superiors would do with these exiles. Should they continue to be exiled to Beihuang, or be imprisoned in prison for the rest of their lives?
He wanted to fish out Lin Ping'an, but there was nothing he could do. This was not something he could do, unless he robbed the prison... He might not succeed, and it might cost him his own life. Thinking about it, he had to forget it.
I wish this young man the best in my heart and hope to meet again one day.
When he arrived at the ferry pier, Bai Yu was stunned as he watched the river water carrying a ship moving very fast. Only then did he remember that this was not a normal dynasty, and there must be a river god in this river.
On the other hand, the pedestrians and passengers coming and going at the ferry showed no reaction at all, apparently they were used to it.
There were many people boarding the boat and it was very crowded. Fortunately, Bai Yu's servants were not vegetarians and they forced their way through the crowd to create a passage.
Bai Yu noticed a larger and more luxurious ship next to it, guarded by a large group of officers and soldiers. There were only four guests, the right servant of the Ministry of Justice, a middle-aged man with a one-eyed patch, Zheng Yan'er and the young Jinyiwei Qianhu. It was obviously an official ship.
Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, then walked over, wanting to know the outcome of the case and how to deal with the exiled prisoners.
