Chapter 184: Helplessness
"Heh, are you too embarrassed to ask me?" Sun glanced at Bai Jiaojiao and said, "Then why don't you tell me about yourself, why don't you love His Royal Highness the Second Prince, but you want to care about His Royal Highness the Ten Princes in secret?" β
"Ling Zun is the general of the Jing Army, and your aunt is still the Queen Mother, you definitely won't know that His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince can't compete with His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
Bai Jiaojiao pursed her lips slightly, "There are some things that I may not have told my sister." But it's not too late to tell my sister now. There's a reason why I don't like His Royal Highness the Second Prince......"
After listening to this, Sun nodded in understanding. Thinking that Jiaojiao's sister told her the secret in her heart, she also told Jiaojiao's sister about the matter between her and that person.
"I've been with him since I was a child, he's good-looking, and he's always protecting me. No matter which child says that I am or beats me, he will go to someone to settle the account and let the family pay it back. β
"Even if it is a child who is taller than him and older than him, he dares to help me teach others."
"He's so nice to you." Bai Jiaojiao sighed.
Sun smiled shyly, "Who said it wasn't?" β
"He is good to me, and his family is better than mine, every time his family does something delicious, even if it is stewed chicken soup, he will bring it to me
Drink. β
"Our village is in Jingbei County, and it is a relatively wealthy village. The boys in the village, as long as the family conditions are not too bad, generally go to learn martial arts with others, and even study. β
"He likes to read, he is very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he has written poems for me and painted portraits for me. The flowers on my wedding dress were embroidered for me by giving them to his mother after he had drawn them. β
When Bai Jiaojiao heard this, she already knew what kind of person that person would be.
That person was so good to Sun, if Sun asked that person to help with things, that person should not refuse.
Bai Jiaojiao only heard Sun say: "He likes to read and paint, and his memory is very good." But all the people who have had a relationship with him, he can draw the appearance of other people after returning home, and the paintings are quite similar. He has such good skills that the masters who taught him all say that he is a talent. β
"When he was about ten years old, a very powerful man went to teach his master's house as a guest, and found out about his strengths, so he accepted him as a disciple."
Since then, he has hardly been home, not even during the holidays. When people asked him, he only said that he was apprenticed in the imperial city. When asked by his parents who the master was, he didn't say anything. Those of us don't know even more. β
Bai Jiaojiao heard these sad words, and felt that Sun seemed to feel some regrets about her affairs with that person.
When she raised her eyes, Bai Jiaojiao caught a glimpse of the tears in Sun's eyes.
Sun choked up and said, "He rarely goes home, but I am still in the village, living like other women." Either they worked in the fields with their families or carried a bucket of clothes to the river to wash. β
"From the imperial city to our village, the intersection by the river is a must-pass. Every time I went there to do laundry, I would see if there were any pedestrians coming from the Imperial City on horseback. Afraid that if he was not careful, he rode away on horseback......"
"But no matter how I looked, I never caught a glimpse of him again. When I saw him at my door again, it was after I agreed to the matchmaker invited by the Sun family, saying that he was willing to be their little daughter-in-law. β
Bai Jiaojiao listened to the story told by Sun, and felt very uncomfortable for Sun in her heart.
If you want to persuade Sun, don't mention it. It's that she's not good, and she shouldn't have asked Sun about this.
She was about to persuade Sun, but she saw Sun shaking his head.
Sun said, "I'm afraid I can only talk to my sister about some things." My sister-in-law took the children to the kitchen, and my mother-in-law was not in the house. We don't talk loudly, so we don't have to worry about being heard by them. β
"My sister is not afraid that they will hear it, but she is afraid that my sister will feel uncomfortable when she mentions this." Bai Jiaojiao didn't want to say it, but she was afraid that Sun would misunderstand, so she explained.
"It's nothing, it's all gone." Sun took the silk handkerchief handed to her by Bai Jiaojiao, wiped away the tears, and said, "At that time, I saw him at the door of my house, and I almost didn't recognize him. I haven't seen him for a few years, but he has not only grown taller, but he has also become more beautiful, and his person has also changed. β
"How has it changed?" Bai Jiaojiao was a little curious.
Sun said to Bai Jiaojiao: "When I used to look at him, I only thought he was very elegant, after all, he was a scholar." But what I saw him that time was heroic, less elegant, and more heroic. β
"I asked him, he is now on an errand in the Imperial City, shouldn't he be lecturing in some academy, maybe he is guarding at a post station?"
"He smiled wryly and asked me, 'We haven't seen each other for years, and as soon as you meet me, ask me where I am on an errand?' β
"I said, 'What should I ask you?' Ask you what you have been busy with all these years, the second dog in the village is a little younger than you, and everyone has become a father this year......" Sun said this, smiling self-deprecatingly, and said:
Bai Jiaojiao wanted to say that person was lost in his heart, so he would say that.
Sun said: "When I saw him angry, I felt that he had just been out for a few years, and he looked better and dressed better." But his temper went bad. is still worried about him in his heart, with his bad temper, who can rest assured that he will marry his daughter to him in the future? β
After being silent for a while, Sun took out a box of rouge from his purse, put it in Bai Jiaojiao's hand, and said, "...... I told my sister about almost everything between me and him, the important things. β
"Before my mother-in-law has returned, I will bring you this box of rouge. This was one of the gifts he gave me when I promised to come to my house to see me. β
"He said, I have a good vision, and I have chosen a disciple who is important to General Bai, and he will definitely have a future in the future. He also said, I can use this rouge if I like. If I don't like it, even if I take it to wipe the face of the family dog, he doesn't mind. β
"I was angry with his liver, so I was angry and said to him, 'Okay, I'll keep it, wipe the face of the dog who guards the door, and wipe the yellow dog into a flower dog......
When Bai Jiaojiao heard this, she knew that she couldn't laugh, but she almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Hurriedly reached out and took the box of rouge from Sun's hand, wrapped it in a silk handkerchief, and took it away on his body.
Leaving the cabin where the Sun family stayed, Bai Jiaojiao did not go to the kitchen, but returned to the cowhide tent first. After bathing, I changed my clothes and went to the river to wash my clothes with a wooden basin.
She still learned this trick from the Sun family.
Before Sun got married, he could go to the intersection of the river with his clothes and see if there was a certain son among those passers-by.
She wanted to beg others to do errands, and she also learned from Sun's family, and brought a basin of clothes to the river to wash. Stay on the way from the Imperial City to Jingbei, waiting for a certain forbidden army general to arrive.
During this special day, the emperor was very concerned about the dredging of the river in Jingbei County, and the soldiers rebuilding houses for the villagers, and would send people to check on the camp every day.
She had returned to the Great Leather Tent before, but she had not seen anyone guarding outside the Great Leather Tent. thought to herself, if Lu Ying didn't let those female spies bother her anymore, it would be those female spies who knew that she hadn't gone back all night and felt that there was no need to guard her.
Squatting by the river to wash clothes, Bai Jiaojiao will still pay attention to observe, afraid that someone will stare at her in secret.
First, he was afraid that the people around Shen Tuying would harm her in private; The second is that I am afraid that the female spies around Lu Ying will quietly sneak around and spy on her secretly.
If that were the case, it would not be convenient for her to meet the Praetorian general.
The sound of hurried horses' hooves came from the direction where the imperial city was located, which quickly interrupted Bai Jiaojiao's thoughts. She raised her eyes and saw five or six soldiers of the forbidden army on war horses, rushing towards the intersection of the river.
She picked up the wooden basin and was about to stand up and leave, when the words of a Jingjun soldier came from her ears: "Let's all work hard, and strive to clean up the mud within today......
"Listening to what you said, the two princes and His Royal Highness the Second Prince, as well as General Shen Tuying, are all here, and just like us, they are helping to clean up the mud. Who among us didn't contribute? Is this something that can be solved quickly as long as you make an effort? β
Another soldier complained.
Bai Jiaojiao took a wooden basin of clothes and slowly walked to the cowhide tent, and after walking a few steps, she vaguely heard a few words: "You can say a few words." Do you know who the general who has been leading people here to inspect these days is? If he hadn't come, I'm afraid that General Shen Tuying and them wouldn't have had to work so hard here. β
"Who is it? I only know that he is from our Jingbei County, and the little daughter-in-law of the old woman of the Niu family used to live in the same village, and they lived quite closely. It was he who asked us to make soup, and we couldn't do anything, so we agreed to make soup for Niu's daughter-in-law. β
"You're thankful for helping the Niu family make soup. If you refuse him and don't make soup for Niu, I'm afraid your little life will be difficult to protect. β
"Isn't it just a petty military attachΓ©, what's the big deal? The prince of Jingbei was in the camp, and he didn't treat us so cruelly. β
"He is not the same as the prince of Jingbei. He is a big celebrity next to Lord Taiwei, and Lord Taiwei's daughter likes him, and Lord Taiwei enters the palace to do business, and often takes him by his side. A princess in the palace also liked him, and the princess's mother said to the emperor if she could let him be the princess's concubine......"
Bai Jiaojiao still wanted to continue eavesdropping, but seeing that the person was about to arrive, she couldn't stop and eavesdrop. Gan was walking back with a basin of clothes, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves getting closer and closer, deliberately stepping on the air and falling on his back.
As soon as the man in the lead heard the sound of "dong", he immediately grabbed the reins, "Yo"! The horse's hooves were instantly retracted.
The man looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a thin woman in white fall to the ground, and the wooden basin was thrown far away, and the clothes in the basin were scattered all over the ground.
The man jumped off the horse quickly, ready to help Bai Jiaojiao up.
But at this moment, a woman who was riding a horse and following the man jumped off the horse at lightning speed and landed directly in front of Bai Jiaojiao.
The female voice with a hint of jealousy sounded in Bai Jiaojiao's ears: "I can't imagine that General Xu, a person who has never been close to female SE, would care so much about the strange woman who fell on the side of the road." β
The man looked coldly at the woman in armor, and his eyes revealed a message: You are making trouble unreasonably.
The woman suddenly grabbed Bai Jiaojiao's wrist, dragged Bai Jiaojiao up, and said mockingly: "Girl, when you walk in the future, you have to pay attention to the road under your feet.
You have to guard against wolves on the side of the road. β
When Bai Jiaojiao heard this, she hated this woman in her heart, and gritted her teeth with hatred.
She deliberately fell on the side of the road in order to make it easier for her to talk to the general, and when he got closer, she told him about asking him to help bring the powder.
didn't expect that there was a female soldier behind him.
