In the dark courtyard, one could see figures flashing through the moonlight, and they were moving very fast.
In the study room of the small courtyard, a man wearing a mask was holding a porcelain bottle and shaking it gently, listening to the report of the people below.
"Master, Yao Yinzi has been discontinued for more than a month, and all plans cannot be continued. Please give me your instructions." The man wearing a mask, covering half of his face, asked anxiously for instructions after reporting recent events.
The masked man didn't reply for a long time, only the movements of his hands paused.
When he couldn't get instructions for the mask, or was about to be punished, the masked man said: "I will arrange this matter myself. All experiments in other places are suspended and everyone is on standby. Here in the capital
, I will personally keep an eye on it, you don’t have to stay in Kyoto.”
"Yes." As if he had been pardoned, the masked man hurriedly saluted, stood up and left quickly.
"Bai Ling." The masked man muttered to himself, looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, and sneered, "I won't touch you for the time being. After my new medicine is successfully developed, how about letting you test the medicine? How about the medicine?
It’s very interesting to think about the young master of Wang Valley becoming a medicine man only controlled by me. Jie Jie!”
Bai Ling didn't know that he was being targeted. Even if he knew, he still had to live his life normally. He couldn't hide and be a coward just because there was an enemy secretly, right?
After checking the account books, Bai Ling had time to visit the Qin Mansion, and by the way, he also sent the two injured Qin family servants back to the Qin family.
"Ling'er, you are so polite. You are just a guest. Why do you bring so many good things?" Qin Xuerou said this, but her eyes were shining, and she did not forget to say coquettishly to Mrs. Qin: "Grandma,
You have to leave a jar of this wine for me, otherwise I will go to Ling'er to get something good, but I have to keep it privately."
"You're a talker! You're not afraid of being laughed at by the princess. How can anyone say so straightforwardly that they want to go to someone else's house to get something? The Qin Mansion can't afford to raise a girl?" Mrs. Qin feigned anger and glared at Qin Xuerou.
I think this granddaughter is very arrogant.
"Grandma is really right. If Ke Keer makes me addicted to alcohol, the Qin family really won't be able to support me." Qin Xuerou proudly raised her chin, smacked her lips and said, "If you can,
I really want to be Ling'er's biological sister, so that I can live in the Bai family and have endless wine... Ah! Grandma, why did you hit me? My head was beaten silly."
"It's better to be stupid, it will save you the embarrassment!" Mrs. Qin wanted to drive her granddaughter out. After slapping her, she wanted to slap her again, but she saw Qin Xuerou hiding next to Bai Ling, so she had to give up, "Princess Princess
Have you received a message from the palace?"
"Huh?" Bai Ling looked at Mrs. Qin without knowing why.
Qin Xuerou shrank her neck again and explained embarrassedly: "Well, I went to the White Mansion that day just to tell you that someone from the palace sent a message, meaning that we should bow our heads to Princess Ruyi and let you
Princess Zhong has a decent face. Then that happened, and after that she just drank and forgot about it."
Seeing Qin Xuerou sticking out her tongue, Bai Ling couldn't help laughing and raised his hand to scratch the tip of her nose.
"It doesn't matter, I've sent all the people from Prince Zhong's Palace to Jingzhao Palace. The relationship with Prince Zhong's Palace is so big that it's probably impossible to reconcile." Bai Ling said nonchalantly.
"You girl, you do things with the style of a general." Mrs. Qin praised: "Some people, the more you spoil her, the more arrogant you become. You think you are such a big person that the stars and the moon have to revolve around her.
.”
"Ling'er is the fiancée of the prince's brother, and will also be the wife of a general in the future. Naturally, she must behave like a general. Otherwise, my prince's brother has such high vision, why does he have to be Ling'er?"
When Qin Xuerou said this, she immediately showed that she had the right to speak, ran to the old lady's side, held her arm and said: "Grandma, I was in Bai Mansion that day, but I saw how the prince's brother treated Ling'er.
It's so good that it makes people jealous.
There is also the princess and aunt, who is also very fond of Ling'er. When I looked at her, I never left Ling'er, as if I wished I could take her home."
"Hmph!" Mrs. Qin snorted angrily, pushed Qin Xuerou's hand away, and said: "Whenever you can marry yourself off, grandma will be relieved. She doesn't have to let you marry a famous family, even if you are a trafficker.
Pawn, if someone can take a fancy to you and treat you well in the future, grandma will give you all the good things she has saved for so many years as a dowry."
"Grandma, please go around me. With my temper, how can anyone bear it? I'll just stay with my grandmother to relieve her boredom. Isn't it good?" Qin Xuerou said without any shame.
"You are self-aware," the old lady said with disgust.
"This is what my grandmother taught me well. My granddaughter knows how much she weighs." Qin Xuerou said with a smile.
As long as she is not forced to go on a blind date, Qin Xuerou doesn't care about being teased.
Bai Ling watched the conversation between his grandfather and grandson, feeling envious in his heart.
When my grandfather and I were dependent on each other in the previous life, the grandfather and grandson almost always talked about traditional Chinese medicine. Occasionally, they would listen to my grandfather talk about some big principles.
At that time, Bai Ling was afraid of his grandfather deep down in his heart. It should be said that he was in awe, so he never dared to make trouble.
Occasionally she would act like a spoiled child, and her grandfather would smile and pamper her. These are the best memories that are etched deep in Bai Ling's mind.
The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time before they remembered that the guest Bai Ling was here. This shows how good the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is.
"Princess, I wonder if there is any unmarried man in your family?" Mrs. Qin suddenly looked at Bai Ling and asked.
Bai Ling was startled and replied: "There are three younger brothers in the family. One is just ten years old this year and is the county magistrate in Ruyi County. There are also two twin brothers who are less than half a year old."
"As expected, the children of the Bai family are all promising. They have become county magistrates at the age of ten. They will have a great future." Mrs. Qin praised her and asked again: "What about my cousin and cousin? Are there any?
Marriageable but not yet married?"
Bai Ling felt very embarrassed, but she still replied: "I am dissatisfied with the old lady. My father started his own business, so he has no close cousins. However, he has a cousin and a cousin who happen to be in the capital now.
However, my uncle's family is a farmer, and they make a living by doing small business. However, after the eldest cousin got the title of scholar, he stopped pursuing a career, and the second cousin only had the title of child student. Another cousin is also a county official.
Order, but not until the age of weak crown."
It's not that Bai Ling dislikes the low status of his relatives, but Mrs. Qin's intention is to see each other, so the family is completely wrong.
"It's a good family to have fame and fame and live a down-to-earth life."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qin looked quite satisfied and actually said to Bai Ling: "When you have time, bring your cousin and cousin to the house for a walk. Our Qin family used to be from a farmer's family, and we have earned what we have today."
His fame is nothing to show off."
Bai Ling chuckled, saying this was really unacceptable.
Not to mention whether Qin Xuerou can get used to the life of a farm family, I am afraid that the Liu family is not used to the life of a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family.
Such a marriage may be appropriate simply based on character.
But if we really come together, there will definitely be a lot of friction due to different living habits.
Bai Ling didn't know yet that the marriage of a young lady from the General's Palace felt inappropriate to her, and there was a princess over there who had taken a liking to her second cousin.
Bai Ling brought a lot of gifts to the Qin family, both as a way of making friends and as an apology.
Even though Bai Ling didn't want what happened at the city gate, in the end it was because of Bai Ling that the servants of the Qin family were injured and the master was also frightened.
But the Qin family also gave a lot of gifts in return. Mrs. Qin said that the gift was a gift from an elder, so Bai Ling had nothing to say and could only accept it.
Bai Ling went to visit Baicao again before returning home, only to find that Princess Yayang was there.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but Liu Xudong rarely went out today and was entertaining Princess Yayang. The two had a very pleasant chat.
"I'm serious. If you have the chance, you should go to Nanshan Village to live for a few days. Although the capital is rich, the people there will definitely make you like it. It's much more interesting than this place where there are rules everywhere."
Liu Xudong invited.
"Okay, when you go back, I will go with you." Princess Yayang happily agreed, "I just don't know how long my father will allow me to stay. In fact, I don't like the capital at all. The rules are too
too much."
"As long as your father can agree, then I will take you home as a guest. But we have agreed in advance that we don't have so many rules in the countryside. When you get home, you can't display the princess's book all day long, otherwise I will
If my family has to die in discomfort, then I won’t dare to invite you." Liu Xudong said beforehand.
"Don't worry, although I don't know how to do many things, I can learn. If you have to act like a princess, you will be so prestigious in the capital. Why should I go to your village?" Princess Yayang promised, patting her chest.
Although she had no intention of testing Liu Xudong, after knowing her identity as a princess, Liu Xudong still got along with her as before, which made Princess Yayang even more convinced of this person.
Maybe after a trip to Nanshan Village, many things will fall into place.
Bai Ling stood at the door for a long time, but neither of them noticed her presence. Instead, they were chatting enthusiastically, and she couldn't help but wonder if her stature was too small.
Especially after hearing that Liu Xudong invited Princess Yayang to Nanshan Village and told a lot of rules, Bai Ling suddenly felt that the way he opened it today was wrong.
A general's palace wanted to marry a young lady to a farm family, and Qin Xuerou had no intention of resisting.
At this time, another princess came to join in the fun. Bai Ling really couldn't believe that what he saw and heard was true.
"If the princess wants to go out for fun, why don't you come with me? My cousin is a man, so I'm afraid he won't take care of many things well, and it will also be detrimental to the princess's reputation." Bai Ling had to speak out. If she continued to listen, she would be confused.
It is suspected that these two people are agreeing to elope.
But Liu Xudong's open eyes made Bai Ling feel that his thoughts were impure.
Looking at Princess Yayang again, she turned into a big blush, which made Bai Ling not sure what she meant.
"That's fine." Princess Yayang agreed. It doesn't matter who you go with. What's important is that you go to Nanshan Village and get to know Liu Xudong more. "If it's possible, why don't we all go together so that we can have company on the way.
But I can’t leave before my father’s birthday.”
"The plan doesn't change quickly, and I can't guarantee when I will leave." Bai Ling thought for a while and suggested: "It doesn't matter. If I leave early, I will let Haitang accompany the princess there. Anyway, my home is there, princess.
Whenever you come as a guest, you will be extremely welcome.”
"It's a deal." Princess Yayang's eyes were shining with stars, as if she was about to set off tomorrow. She stood up happily, eager to go back and prepare to salute. (To be continued)
