Chapter 18: The Bean Bag Girl (3)

The mountain rain is hazy, a layer of gray veil is wrapped on the mountain, and the dawn is gone, and the crow blue mountains reveal the morning light that is not bright, pouring on the raindrops hanging on the earth, and the glow is brilliant.

Bai Shui was ready to go to the city gate early in the morning to meet Su Yunkai, she had nothing to worry about, she went to the yamen yesterday to hand in her resignation, and after going back in the evening, she said goodbye to the grandfather and grandson of the Ming family, packed up some soft things, and she could go thousands of miles away.

Coming out of the gate, she locked the door, and did not have much nostalgia for this place, but was happy that she would be able to go to the Daimyo's Mansion soon, so that she was closer to leaving the seal. Besides, Su Yunkai is definitely a reliable person, as long as she does her best, she will definitely be able to go to Kaifeng together in the future. Su Yunkai was already in charge of the prison, and when the time came, he would be promoted, and he would definitely be in the Dali Criminal Department.

Thinking about it, her face that is a little too pale on weekdays looks ruddy due to excitement, and she is dressed in a man's clothes, more like a jade-faced gentleman. She walked into the alley, stopped in front of Ming's house, and knocked on the door.

After a while, Ming Sheng came out in response, saw her, saw the burden on his shoulders, and didn't ask much, just said, "When you are alone, you have to be more careful, and when you arrive at the mansion, you will come to a letter to report your safety when you are free." ”

Bai Shui's heart warmed, and he said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take care of myself, and I will write from time to time...... This is the key to my house, grandpa came to friends and distant relatives, you can let them live there, and the things you and Mingyue can use, don't dislike it, use it. I think...... I'm going to have to be here for a long time. ”

Mingsheng took the key, said "um", and said, "You go to another country, Mingyue stays at home, but I am more worried about Mingyue." ”

Bai Shui asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Ming Sheng looked inside, his kind face was already worried, "Mingyue's father and mother went early, she followed me to Nanle County at a young age, no one took care of her, and when I wanted to go to the yamen, I locked her at home." One day I forgot to cook for her and went out, and she was so hungry that she ran out on her own, and she was almost in danger. ”

Bai Shui said suddenly, "Is that the incident when she met Master Su when she was four years old?" ”

"Yes. After so long, she still remembered Master Su, and I thought about it many times, probably because she was always helpless and lonely, so she never forgot it. It was also after that time that I went to the Yamen with her, who would have thought that she had been exposed to it and learned the art of serving. This is not what I hoped, after all, she is a girl's family, and she is a 'pariah', but she likes it and has talent. After a long time, I also figured it out, and I didn't want to bury her talent. ”

Bai Pingshi has a bad temper and is also impatient, so he often ignores details. But now that she listened to the words of the people, she could hear most of the meaning conveyed in it, she thought about it for a while, and then asked tentatively, "Grandpa wants her to go with Master Su and go to the Daimyo's Mansion Road together?" ”

Ming Sheng nodded, "I went to the Yamen last night and asked about Bai Baozhen's case in detail, and Lord Su did not refuse to work with Mingyue from the beginning, and even had patience and respect that other officials did not have. Put the case first, and don't despise the people you work with as an identity. I tried to persuade her, but she couldn't reassure me. Last night, I listened to her tossing and turning, walking around the front room, and my heart was clearly shaken. ”

Bai Shui knew in his heart, "I'll go and persuade her." ”

Ming Sheng waved his hand, "She has a strong temper and can't be persuaded." ”

"That grandpa is trying to ......"

He handed the key back to her and said, "She can't worry about me, but I want her to live well." Yu public and private, Master Su is a good official, and he is willing to hide your identity for you, so how can he not accept Mingyue, as long as she can do a good job, I think, it will definitely be better than staying in Nanle County. She had just fallen asleep at dawn, and she should have fallen asleep, and I had packed my things and was ready to leave here and go somewhere else. I've been in Nanle County all my life and want to see other places. ”

Bai Shui didn't know if this was true or not, but all he thought about was Mingyue, she was doing well, and he didn't need to stay here alone. These grandfathers and grandsons are actually both temperamental. She clenched the key and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, when I go to the mansion, I will take good care of Mingyue." ”

If it weren't for the Ming family, she came from Linzhou to pretend to be a clansman, and she was discovered by the county officials. The Ming family does not dislike her and regards her as a relative. So even if she loses the opportunity to open it in the future, she will protect Mingyue.

Mingsheng likes her to act boldly and indecisively, and for Mingyue, he is more relieved to have such a friend by his side.

He turned around and went back to the house, packed his baggage, took his coat and hat, and went out.

When Mingyue woke up, it was already the middle of the day. I didn't sleep all night, and I couldn't make up for it during the day. She sat on the bed and was stunned for a long time before getting out of bed, put on her shoes and socks and took the willow branches to rinse her mouth, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw a person sitting in the hall. She said unexpectedly, "Shuishui? Why are you still here, didn't you leave with Master Su? ”

Bai Shui raised his eyes to look at her, "Go and brush your teeth and wash your face, and then go to the city gate to meet Master Su and go to the Daimyo's Mansion together." ”

Mingyue patted her head, thinking that she had heard it wrong, but she sobered up a little as soon as she patted her, "You said something wrong, I won't go." ”

"Your grandfather has gone on a long trip again, let me look at you, but I have to go to the mansion, what do I think of you? So I can only let you go with me. ”

Mingyue opened her mouth, and suddenly understood, she sat on the bench, a little distracted, "Grandpa, he went out on purpose, he didn't want me to stay in Nanle County." ”

Bai Shui rarely showed a gentle appearance, "Grandpa, he has good intentions, who knows what kind of temper the new county official of Nanle County is, you have worked with Master Su, he is a reasonable person, if you open your mouth, he will not refuse you to go with him." ”

What kind of person is Su Yunkai, Mingyue didn't dare to say that she knew a lot, but from the matter of Bai Baozhen, he was indeed a good official. He never showed any disdain for women doing the work.

Just as she thought about this, there was a knock on the wooden door, and because it was not closed, it was ajar after two knocks. The two looked there, but the person they saw was Su Yunkai.

The small courtyard of the farmhouse was narrow, and as soon as the door opened, the people in the lobby came in, and Su Yunkai didn't go in, just stood at the door and looked at the two of them. Bai Shui is still dressed in plain clothes, but it is the bright moon, huh...... The braid is crooked and sleepy-eyed, and he must have just woken up and looked confused. It's going to be like when I was a kid, chased by a dog for three streets.

When Mingyue saw him looking at herself, she remembered that she hadn't freshened up yet, so she got up and ran inside.

Bai Shui came out and beckoned him in, and said embarrassedly, "Didn't you wait for me for a long time, so I came in person, sorry, there was something delayed." ”

"It's okay, I've just been there for a while, and I remembered that it would take some time to go to the yamen and say goodbye to the neighbors, so I came and sat down."

Bai Shui blinked lightly, "Then why did you come to the Ming family?" ”

Su Yun was stunned. He actually came to find Mingyue, yesterday he said that she came to send Bai Shui, see you at the time, but he couldn't wait for a long time, and Bai Shui didn't come, so he came over by himself, so he could rest assured. When he passed by the Bai family, he saw that the door was locked, and he didn't expect Bai Shui to be here, but he just wanted to say goodbye to Mingyue again, so he came directly, who wanted Bai Shui to be here. He took a sip of the tea poured in white water, thought about the gap in the tea, and said, "Your door is locked, and I thought you would probably come here." ”

Bai Shui understood, she looked inside, and said in a low voice, "What do you think of Mingyue?" ”

Su Yunkai took another sip of tea, "What's how?" ”

"How about being a servant?" Bai Shui said strangely, "What do you think I'm asking?" ”

- He thought she was asking about Mingyue. Su Yunkai took another sip of tea, "Very careful and attentive." Not only do they perform their duties, but they also care about the case, rather than leaving it alone after doing their own thing. ”

"Then do you think the adult can do the work of the government and follow the adult to handle the case?"

When she asked this, Mingyue's heart was already in turmoil, she had never been afraid of anything except being afraid of dogs when she was so big, and she would be afraid to hear him speak.

Su Yunkai also heard the meaning of the words, and looked up at her, "What does Bai Zhutou mean, do you want Miss Mingyue to go to the Daimyo Mansion together?" But she ......"

Mingyue's heart was pounding, or don't continue to say it, why is she panicking!

"But is she willing to go?"

Bai Shui's eyes suddenly brightened, "What my lord means, as long as she is willing, you won't dislike her, right?" ”

Su Yunkai shook his head, "She is a good servant, compared to the puppet I have seen in the Dali Criminal Department before, although her ability is not the best, she is the most suitable." If Miss Mingyue is willing to go, it will be a blessing for the yamen. ”

Bai Shui was overjoyed, ran to the door of Mingyue's room, and knocked hard, almost not shaking Mingyue's ears half-deaf.

"Did you hear that, why don't you come out quickly and go to the Daimyo's Mansion together!"

The inside answered, and Bai Shui went in to help her clean up. When Su Yunkai wanted to drink tea again, he found that he had already finished drinking. Eh...... How did he have a dry mouth, what a panic.

He put the cup down and walked to the door to breathe. Standing in front of the small hall, you can see the peach tree in the courtyard.

After days of wind and rain, there are not many buds left of the peach tree, the leaves are sparsely hung on the branches, the red and green dotted brown branches like dead branches, and the back is against the mottled wall, which is really picturesque. Soon there was a sound of the door opening behind him, and a girl dressed in apricot color walked out, without the unkempt just now, her eyes were like pearls, and her smile was like peach blossoms.

The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.

He thought that now he could change it, the people were still there, and the peach blossoms were still there.

"Let's go, go to the Daimyo's Mansion."
