Chapter 66: Go to find Second Brother Xiao
Bai Mengtan thanked the first person who caused the panic in the scene.
On the dock where people come and go, there are not a few old and weak women.
Bai Mengtan took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd, and unknowingly succeeded in avoiding the eyes of the soldiers.
By the time Xia Yeteng arrived, Bai Mengtan had already disappeared.
He angrily sent people to search the docks.
His mouth read, "Bai Mengtan, when I catch you, you will know that it is amazing." ”
When he was angry, Natsuya Teng was like a lion on fire, and no one dared to touch his bottom line.
After confirming that Bai Mengtan was really not at the dock, he saw that he was about to use the people of Guigu Pavilion to find Bai Mengtan's traces.
More than half of the men and horses of the Guigu Pavilion have been used to find the transport ship, and the remaining men and horses will be used for Bai Mengtan, but I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of the current ghost market in the north and cause some unnecessary trouble.
Bai Xiyang lowered his head and walked to the front of Xia Yeteng with a humble attitude, "Your Royal Highness, I don't know if I should talk about something." ”
"If you have anything to say, just say it, I don't have time for you." Natsuyoto said impatiently.
His brows were tightly locked, his deep purple eyes were dark, and he was melancholy, he had known that the junior of the Bai family was going to run, so he should have tied her to his side.
Originally, he wanted to take her to the market to relax, but it seemed to be just his wishful thinking!
"It's not difficult to know where the third princess went, what is the name of the only store she opened, and who will be the person who befriends the third princess in Qidu City?"
By Bai Xiyang's analysis, Xia Yeteng suddenly brightened.
He laughed, he seemed to be calculating, he didn't think that one day he would actually get Bai Xiyang to mention something.
Could it be that Bai Mengtan is really her, the nemesis of fate.
In the past, I was used to the carriage leading the way, but now I have to use it. Bai Mengtanjue's little short legs were about to be broken.
Finally, she walked through the Xuanju Teahouse, and the shopkeeper looked at her for a long time before she found out who she was, no wonder she went out on weekdays, she was already a man and knew people.
The shopkeeper didn't see who she was for a while, and it was normal.
Bai Mengtan was brought into the private room where he met Xiao Tingxuan in the past as usual.
Counting the last time the two met, it has been more than a month apart.
In fact, Bai Mengtan can also understand the reason why Xiao Tingxuan doesn't want to see her, after all, the two have different positions.
The Xiao family has always regarded the Xu family as a thorn in their side, but they can't pull it out for a while.
But soon, she will let Second Brother Xiao have the same position as her, as long as he dares to bet.
At this time, Xiao Tingxuan was still discussing with the shopkeepers in his stores about the channels for purchasing goods in the second half of the year.
As soon as he heard Bai Mengtan's arrival, he thought about it, and finally sent these shopkeepers to leave.
Because he knew very well that due to the Xu family, Bai Mengtan would not show up in person until he was unexpected. came to him alone, I was afraid that there would be something, something she couldn't handle, so she had to come to him.
"Third princess, find out what's going on." Xiao Tingxuan is as handsome and gentle as ever.
He tried his best to maintain a calm expression, hiding his mood when he saw Bai Mengtan, and didn't want her to see any intentions.
At this time, Bai Mengtan was dressed in green clothes simple and generous, and the green silk was only carved with a stick without any patterns, and the wooden hairpin was pulled into a ball head.
On the contrary, it sets off her temperament and has a unique gentleness.
As soon as he saw Xiao Tingxuan, Bai Mengtan was playing with the starling he kept in a cage on the balcony.
She turned around and called sweetly, "Second Brother Xiao." ”
followed the starling, and also shouted with her.
"Second Brother Xiao, Second Brother Xiao."
Starlings flapped their wings and danced around in the cage, shouting more and more joyfully.
This successfully evoked Xiao Tingxuan's laughter.
His smile is like a spring breeze, Bai Mengtan loves to look at beautiful people, and the fatigue of coming here before has all disappeared.
"Second Brother Xiao, you are so good-looking." Bai Mengtan did not hesitate to praise.
Xiao Tingxuan's warm smile froze instantly, and outsiders said that he was too contrived in his smile.
At the end of the laugh, even he couldn't tell the difference, and now that face was what he really was.
"Compliment, I don't know what happened today, the third princess was lucky enough to find the next place?" He asked directly.
Bai Mengtan still wanted to chat with him, but looking back, it seemed that Second Brother Xiao was not so free, after all, he had countless shops under him.
There are still many things that need to be taken care of by him, and it is also out of politeness to be able to take time out of his own care.
Bai Mengtan cleared his throat and tried his best to make a long story short about what he wanted to say.
"Second Brother Xiao, I don't know if you want to be the head of the Xiao family?" ’
She was also very straightforward.
Xiao Tingxuan's body trembled slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched upwards a few times, and he chuckled, "Third princess, are you here to have fun with someone Xiao?" ’’
Who doesn't know that the current head of the Xiao family is Xiao Jingran of the big house. He is a concubine, except for being a money-making tool for the Xiao family, what else can he think about.
"I mean seriously, Second Brother Xiao cooperates with me, I can make you rise to prominence and become the future head of the Xiao family, even Concubine Xiao will be afraid of you in the future." ’
Bai Mengtan said confidently.
This angered Xiao Tingxuan, and he only thought that Bai Mengtan was making fun of him.
"Bai Mengtan, you are enough, Xiao can't afford this heavy responsibility." He lost his graceful smile and roared.
Now Xiao Jingran is covering the sky in the imperial court, and the people of the Xiao family's families are distributed all over the imperial court, and they are the eyes and ears of the Xiao family everywhere. Even if he has that heart, how can he stand out from so many people.
Even if Bai Mengtan is so smart, the current Xu family is not what it used to be with the aging of King Zhenxi.
Queen Xu has also become a wasted person, and it is a matter of time before she falls out of favor, if she doesn't rely on the dragon seed in her belly, I'm afraid that the queen's position will be handed over.
Second Brother Xiao, you are willing to be pressed by the Xiao family all the time, let them send you, and you don't dare to say a word. The second brother Xiao I know, his heart is higher than the sky, and my life is up to me. ’’
''I'll tell you the truth, in a few days I will go with the army to Su Khan.'' And this time it is your and my opportunity, the disaster relief materials escorted by the 50,000 army, converted into money, who will not be tempted, I hope that the second brother Xiao will think about it. ’’
"What do you mean?" Xiao Tingxuan was reminded by Bai Mengtan, his brows tightened, and he thought for a moment and asked.
"What I mean is that Xiao Jingran will never be able to turn over, and you will replace him and trample those people who look down on you in the Xiao family forever."
In the eyes of the girl, there is no innocence in the past, but there is more vicissitudes, and a calmness that has experienced all the hardships in the world.
But there is another part, fearless spirit.
Xiao Tingxuan didn't know if she had experienced anything, but at this time, he really wanted to protect the girl in front of him.
He reverted to his usual image of a gentle and noble son.
"Thanks to the love of the third princess, I don't know what I can help you with?"
After getting Xiao Tingxuan's answer, Bai Mengtan's white little face smiled, took Xiao Tingxuan's hand, and said his thoughts.
……
"Ten big ships, and there are also trade documents of the Liao Kingdom, the third princess, you are opening your mouth privately." Xiao Tingxuan opened his jade-like eyes.
He has these things, but after all, it has to go through the hands of the Xiao family, and it is not easy to use the ten large merchant ships of the Xiao family.
''Second Brother Xiao, I know you will be embarrassed, but what if ten big ships are what Xiao Yushi wants? Bai Mengtan reminded.
When Xiao Tingxuan heard this, he naturally understood what she meant, all of these disaster relief materials came from the treasury, and the things that could enter the treasury were naturally the best.
For those high-ranking officials, it was a pity that these good things were given to those refugees of Su Khan.
In previous years, there were not a few disaster relief materials that flowed out of Xiao Jingran's hands, and Xiao Tingxuan helped him change channels and transfer those materials out.
Although Xu Lingyu is in charge of escorting the material this time, after all, he is still too young, and when it comes to the fat in his mouth, how can his uncle not accept it.
Xiao is willing to fully assist the third princess and eradicate the remnants. Xiao Tingxuan's jade-like eyes gradually deepened.
At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor of the private room, Xiao Tingxuan was alert, and motioned for Bai Mengtan to hide behind the balcony.
Xiao Tingxuan held a jade flute in his hand, leaning against the door, ready at any time.
"Smack." The door was successfully opened, and Bai Mengsha stood at the door proudly.
Xiao Tingxuan subconsciously put away his jade flute.
Zuo said, "The eldest princess is polite. ’’
''Xiao Tingxuan, what exactly did you give my mother the pastries, why did the mother concubine have unbearable abdominal pain after eating the pastries, and even the imperial doctor couldn't find out the reason. ''These days, Bai Mengsha has been ordered to live in the barracks.
Thinking that the mother concubine has been in good health recently, and in two months, her younger brother is about to be born.
Bai Mengsha inevitably relaxed her vigilance, but she didn't expect a word from the palace this morning, saying that Concubine Xiao Guifei's abdominal pain was unbearable, and she rushed back to the palace despite her father's instructions, and called several imperial doctors to come to see her, but she couldn't say why.
She asked the maids in the palace, but they all said that the concubine had only eaten the pastries sent from Xiao Ergongzi in the morning.
Because she was worried that Empress Xu would use her hands and feet in her mother's food, the pastries sent by the Xiangxiao Palace were all through Xiao Tingxuan's hands.
"Eldest princess, the pastries sent to Xiangxiao Hall are all peacetime, there is no doubt that if Xiao really wants to do anything in the pastries, he will move from the beginning. Besides, in the Xiao family, if it weren't for the support of his aunt, the Xiao family would never be there now, Xiao Tingxuan. ’’
''You also know that you have to be given to you by my mother today, and you don't have the courage to do so, but it all started because of your pastries.'' Bai Mengsha glanced at it, took advantage of the cup of tea on the table, picked it up, and splashed it on Xiao Tingxuan's face.
Looking at Xiao Tingxuan's embarrassed appearance, she was in a much better mood and put down her cup.
Reach out and let the maid behind her wipe her fingers stained with tea.
Xiao Tingxuan was humiliated by him like this, but still maintained the elegant smile on his face.
The hair on the forehead is covered with water droplets, and even the thick eyelashes are stained with fine beads.
The maid behind Bai Mengsha instinctively glanced at it, and Xiao Tingxuan hurriedly lowered her head again.
This time, Xiao Tingxuan completely saw the maid's face clearly.
The heart was slightly startled, and his eyes flickered, but he was not noticed by Bai Mengsha.
Bai Mengtan, who was hiding on the balcony, if it weren't for the current situation that forced her to reveal her identity, she would definitely go out and slap Bai Mengsha's sinister and mean face.
In his previous life, he still felt that Bai Mengsha was gentle and generous.
I really didn't know that I was blind at that time.
''Stinky woman, stinky woman. At this time, the starling outside the balcony flapped his wings and chattered in his mouth.
Bai Mengtan heard its call, and his heart felt happy. But when she thought about it, if she angered Bai Mengsha, she would find out her whereabouts as soon as she walked over.
