Chapter 168: Practicing skills, Shaobai is cited by Phoenix Mountain
Xiaolan didn't say anything about the red sleeves matter, so Qin Shaobai naturally couldn't ask.
Anyway, Hong Xiu just stayed in Qin Mansion.
Xiaolan arranged for her to live in the west wing of the second entrance, and paired her with two maids, asking the maids to call her Miss Hongxiu.
Afraid that she would be too lonely, they even had a water pavilion built in her yard, saying that it would be convenient for her to play a song and dance when she felt like it.
Xiaolan had arranged everything so well, so Hongxiu was naturally filled with gratitude, and kept saying thank you to her sister with red eyes.
Xiaolan smiled bitterly, this sister even shouted out, she really meant to make this matter a reality.
However, what makes Xiaolan happy is that Qin Shaobai only entered Hongxiu's room on the day when Hongxiu was injured, and left with Xiaolan, and never went there again.
Every time Hongxiu asked the little maid to look for her, Qin Shaobai said that he was very busy recently and had no time.
Hongxiu was self-aware and never played any life-or-death stunts. She just stayed quietly in her yard and actually managed the second yard like a garden.
Without the worries of family chores, Qin Shaobai focused on starting a new life in Lin'an Mansion.
On the day of the ten-day appointment, he was called to Lin'an Mansion by the Sixth Prince early, firstly to familiarize himself with the work of Lin'an Mansion, and secondly, to wait for the mysterious person.
However, they waited until nightfall, but no one came.
However, someone sent a letter saying that the jade could not be returned for the time being. He said that he knew that Qin Shaobai had become the prefect and wanted to test whether Qin Shaobai was diligent and thrifty and loved the people. He would use Qin Shaobai's jade in three months.
Political achievements are exchanged for jade.
The sixth prince was so angry that he cursed his mother, and at the same time hurriedly told Qin Shaobai that he would go to the palace to discuss the matter with the emperor before running away.
Song Ci was also very busy recently. He was sent to Zhenjiang by the emperor. Before leaving, he solemnly warned Qin Shaobai that he should handle the government affairs of Lin'an Mansion well and be a good and upright official.
It is quite possible to handle government affairs well, because Qin Shaobai discovered that the Lin'an prefect had fewer things to deal with than the Nanyang County magistrate.
It is a little difficult to be honest and fair, because Qin Shaobai found that the Lin'an prefect needed to do more than be a beautiful foil.
For example, during festivals, I accompany the royal family and relatives and give out red envelopes to the people.
For another example, in your free time, go to the Lin'an Chamber of Commerce, cut some red silk for a newly opened shop, and say some nice words.
As for the case that could allow Qin Shaobai to win justice, there has been no case in the past ten days.
On this day, February 2, a good day when the dragon raised his head, Qin Shaobai was sent over early by Wang Ping, the master of the prefecture's Yamen.
Qin Shaobai thought that there was some big case waiting for him, but Wang Ping said that a bank had opened on the street and wanted to invite Mr. Qin to come and show his support.
Qin Shaobai was unwilling and yawned, trying to use tiredness as an excuse, but felt that this excuse was really not clever.
Although, he was really tired.
After the ten-day appointment, Xiaolan told Qin Shaobai that Zhao Bai had decided to train him in all aspects.
Moreover, Xiaolan told Qin Shaobai that Zhao Bai had changed his mind and he did not want anyone to know his existence, so Bi Zaiyu would not be alarmed for the time being, which meant that everything during the day had to be done by Qin Shaobai himself.
Hold on.
Qin Shaobai didn't have any opinion on this point.
He was a little annoyed by Bi Zaiyu, and he always felt that the way Bi Zaiyu looked at him was very strange.
Besides, Lin'an Mansion is calm and peaceful, and his little tricks are enough.
Xiaolan told Qin Shaobai one by one about Zhao Bai's plan.
The first thing is to make the two of them spiritually connected.
Xiaolan wrote everything that had happened to Zhao Bai over the years on paper and asked Qin Shaobai to memorize it one by one.
Qin Shaobai looked at the dozens of sheets of paper and just wanted to cry.
How long has it been since he endorsed it?
Zhao Bai was also worried that Qin Shaobai's martial arts would not be enough to protect Zhao Bai's soul, so he hand-drawn the martial arts he had learned into a picture album and asked Xiaolan to urge Qin Shaobai to practice during the day.
Xiaolan also knew the history of the Zhao family and the current situation of the Song Dynasty, so Xiaolan taught Qin Shaobai when she had time.
Therefore, Qin Shaobai feels that he is about to collapse these days.
At night, he is Zhao Bai, studying the domestic and foreign situations sleeplessly. During the day, he is Qin Shaobai who wants to be Zhao Bai well and has to learn various things to make himself more and more like Zhao Bai.
Out of twelve hours, Qin Shaobai often only slept for two or three hours.
In this way, Xiaolan will also receive Zhao Bai's evaluation of him: "Rotten wood cannot be carved."
You will actually enjoy it, it will be comfortable to stay in my body during the day.
When Qin Shaobai got a headache from memorizing information, he would hit his head with his hands and complain.
Anyway, this head doesn't belong to him alone. If it hurts, it hurts both of them.
The more Xiaolan watched, the more funny she found it. This fool was beating his head so hard, but Zhao Bai, who was sleeping, didn't feel anything at all.
"Sir, please get on the sedan." Wang Ping waited diligently for Qin Shaobai to get on the sedan.
"Where is that store? How long does it take to get back and forth? I still have some things to deal with in my yamen."
Qin Shaobai opened the sedan curtain and asked.
"Go back to your lord, that shop is on South Street not far from your home. After your lord is done, you can go back to your house to rest first."
This is quite a good idea.
With half a day of free time, I believe that Xiaolan and Zhao Bai will not come to urge him to do this or that during his working hours.
Qin Shaobai stopped talking, put down the sedan curtain, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the sedan suddenly sank, startling Qin Shaobai who was almost asleep and woke up.
"Wang Ping, Wang Ping." Qin Shaobai shouted, but there was no response.
The surroundings are extremely quiet, which is very different from the Royal Street in normal times.
Qin Shaobai couldn't help being shocked.
He put a dagger in his arms into his hand and slowly opened the sedan curtain.
He found that the place where he was staying now was not Yujie at all, let alone a bank that was about to open.
He is standing under a big mountain now.
He remembered this mountain, which had a brilliant name, called Phoenix Mountain. On one side of the mountain was the palace of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family, and extending to the north of the palace was the famous Imperial Street. That's why Lin'an has the unique style of Nangong North City.
The rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty said that this was for the sake of the people. In fact, the land of the Southern Song Dynasty had been almost cut off, and the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty could only connect the palaces and markets together.
At this time, Phoenix Mountain was desolate.
The trees on the mountain must have not been taken care of for a long time, and they look pale and yellow from a distance.
Qin Shaobai got off the sedan and called several more times, but still no one answered.
He was a little panicked, but he calmed down immediately.
If this person wanted to hurt his life, he probably wouldn't have carried him down to the Phoenix Mountain. He would have been killed with a knife at some point.
But, who is this person and why was he brought here?
These days, he has learned from Zhao Bai's history book-like statements why Song Gaozong Zhao Gou chose Hangzhou as his capital and why he chose Phoenix Mountain as the location for his palace.
Zhao Gou came to Hangzhou in a state of escape, but the people of Hangzhou did not show contempt for him. They rushed to tell each other, crossed the river to greet him, and cheered long live. Some even brought fine wine and food to welcome Zhao Gou.
structure.
This made Zhao Gou feel that he was not fleeing, but a wanderer returning to his hometown, which made him more determined to regroup in Hangzhou.
At that time, the foot of Phoenix Mountain was the Hangzhou County Government Office. Standing in the county government office and looking at the Phoenix Mountain behind him, Zhao Gou found that the Phoenix Mountain was really a geomantic treasure. "You can have a bird's eye view of the river from the top, and you can look directly at Haimen from the front." Such a geographical location is very important for all times.
It was extremely important for Gaozong to be on guard against the pursuit of Jin soldiers.
Of course, Zhao Bai also vaguely said that the Phoenix Mountain had something to do with the royal treasure, and then said that the jade worn by the three brothers and his jade flute were all made of a magical jade stone.
It was made of jade, and the late emperor saw it in his dream and sent troops to find it on Fenghuang Mountain.
Qin Shaobai stared at the mountain in front of him while recalling what Zhao Bai told him.
I wonder if the stone with the word "loyalty" engraved on it is still there?
However, today's Southern Song Dynasty court is in disarray.
Who would still have the word loyalty engraved in their hearts?
Qin Shaobai felt that he was a little sad, and two tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
He was a little frightened. This feeling should only be felt by Zhao Bai in his body.
Could it be that this mountain really has magic power and can awaken Zhao Bai in his body?
Thinking of this, Qin Shaobai quickly turned around and walked back.
On such a good day, he didn't want Zhao Bai to come out and ruin the scenery.
As soon as he turned around, his eyes were attracted by the lake at the foot of the mountain.
To be precise, I was attracted by a boat on the lake.
The ship was not very big and was extremely luxuriously decorated. It can be imagined that the owner of the ship was either rich or noble.
The boat was in the middle of the lake, not tied to any anchors, but it was able to stay steady and motionless, as if it was parked on the shore.
No one could be seen walking on the boat, but an elegant sound of piano was coming from the boat.
The voice seemed to have magic power, making Qin Shaobai couldn't help but walk towards the lake.
