Chapter 166: I'm Not Like You Think
Shen Bai was sent back to the women's area by Xiaobei, and in the pavilion, Su Xiaoqiu had already worshiped Su Liu and Lou, and was obediently sitting next to Su Liu and talking to Su Liu.
Su Xiaoqiu's biological mother died early, and now she has been taken back and recorded in the name of Su Liu's family, she is the daughter of the Su family, Su Ying and Su Xuan are not only low, but also become concubines, how angry and depressed they are only know how angry and depressed they are.
Su Xiaoqiu and Su Liu got along very well, Su Liu had a deep smile on her face, and Mrs. Hou next to her also smiled and said hello to her.
Shen Bai glanced at it, walked over to Sun and sat down.
Sun had been absent-minded, and only when he saw Shen Bai come back did he breathe a sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice, "Why have you been there for so long?" Didn't get into trouble, did you? β
The Sun family is timid, and his impression of Shen Bai is nothing but trouble.
Because Shen Bai was admitted in public by Gu Hengzhou as his sweetheart, he was in a good mood, so he didn't care about the Sun family, took off his veil and said lightly: "Don't worry, there is no trouble." β
I didn't eat much in the morning, and after tossing for so long, Shen Bai was really a little hungry, so she first filled herself a bowl of soup to appetize, and then picked up the dishes and chopsticks to concentrate on eating.
Although the movements are fast, they are not rude, they are completely in accordance with Mama Ye's teachings, and she eats very quietly and looks good. Mama Ye wanted to mention it, but she didn't know how to speak.
Shen Bai quickly ate two bowls of rice and was about to let the maid add a third bowl, but Mama Ye coughed lightly.
The girl's family has such a large amount of food, and it will make people laugh when it spreads.
Shen Bai has consciously taken on the heavy responsibility of the princess, remembered to restrain himself, put down the dishes and chopsticks, pinched the silk handkerchief and carefully wiped his mouth, and then bent his eyes, revealing a well-behaved and lovely smile and said: "I have eaten well, everyone eat slowly." β
Most of the male guests will get together to hang around after the banquet, find something to play, and the women's life will be much monotonous.
Although they are all ladies and ladies of the noble mansions, the topic of this discussion is not an elegant thing, and it is still the head of the Li family.
Shen Bai listened lazily, only feeling bored, these people are afraid of their identities, and they always hide three points when they speak, it is not as good as the two widows on West Street sitting together and chatting, Shen Bai listened to it and wanted to yawn, and was drowsy, when he suddenly heard someone mention the Queen Mother.
The drowsiness dissipated instantly, Shen Bai yawned, his eyelids were not lifted, and his ears paid attention to distinguishing the voice just now.
Li Deren and the four princes have all fallen. The Li family, the Jiang family and the Lu family, who were originally three-legged, suddenly had only two feet left, and everyone could see that Emperor Hengde was going to clear the way for the crown prince to ascend the throne.
Therefore, everyone's eyes were on the Su family and the Gu family.
This time, Su Xiaoqiu has been helping Emperor Hengde diagnose the pulse, although everyone doesn't know what role the Su family has assumed in this palace change, because of Su Xiaoqiu, the Su family has made a contribution.
Not to mention Gu Hengzhou, the battle of Yuanfeng County shocked the reputation of the prince of Zhenguo, and this time he led troops from Chenzhou to stop this palace mutiny, and the future is limitless. To put it mildly, after Emperor Hengde passed away, he was the minister that the new emperor relied on the most.
There are many women of school age in Beijing, and Gu Hengzhou is like a big, thin-skinned and fragrant peach on the table, and anyone who sees it will drool greedily.
Since it was gossip related to Gu Hengzhou, Shen Bai naturally listened to it with relish, and the current situation was that the Jiang family and the Lu family both wanted to hug Gu Hengzhou's thigh.
Although Jiang Qinse is a concubine, her reputation has been ruined, and she is inferior to Lu Qingqing, who has the queen mother's aunt.
Everyone seemed to have regarded Lu Qingqing as the future princess between their words.
Shen Bai listened patiently, but until they moved on to the next topic, Shen Bai didn't hear a word about himself.
So she, the only girl who was recognized by Brother Gu as her sweetheart, was not among the candidates for the princess?
Brother Gu has admitted it, why don't you admit it?
Shen Bai slandered. Knowles came to chat with Sun, and when he saw that Shen Bai had been next to Sun, he said with a smile: "Miss Shen is used to seeing Hanjing's sons and brothers in the past, but she hasn't seen so many girls, right?" β
The master has seen a lot of girls.
Shen Bai muttered in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "I was a man before, so I didn't dare to surprise my sisters. β
Knowles took Shen Bai's hand with relief, as if he had met her at first sight, sighed and said, "I've suffered you all these years, women must be very tired of pretending to be men, right?" β
It's not too bitter, there are people who eat and drink well every day, and you can go to the house to uncover the tiles, you don't have to learn the rules, but it's much easier than being a woman.
Shen Bai smiled and said nothing, and Knowles was even more energetic. pinching the silk handkerchief, rubbing the corners of his eyes, he said with a heartache: "Poor child, I haven't had a handkerchief all these years, and no one can get together to say a few words of self-consideration. β
Knowles are so emotional, Sun doesn't seem to be able to say it if he doesn't cry, Sun gritted his teeth, tears also appeared in his eyes, looking at each other, the two seemed to have found a confidant, and there were endless words.
Shen Bai was most afraid of this situation, so he followed Knowles's words and said, "Then I'll talk to a few sisters in the past, and you can talk slowly." β
After Shen Bai finished speaking, he slipped away.
The pavilion promenade is connected to the back garden, but the back garden is not blocked, the girls are afraid of being tanned and sit in the promenade, Shen Bai wanted to go to the back garden to find a place where no one was to breathe, just took a few steps forward, Su Xiaoqiu followed, affectionately grabbed Shen Bai's arm and smiled: "Miss Shen is looking for a place to breathe?" I know a good place to go. β
After Su Xiaoqiu finished speaking, she winked at Shen Bai playfully, which was very different from the dignified and generous Miss Su who was in front of Su Liu and everyone before.
Shen Bai was a little surprised, but he didn't break free, and let Su Xiaoqiu pull him forward.
Su Xiaoqiu didn't take Shen Bai to the back garden, but went to a nearby courtyard.
This yard is full of green bamboos, and the bamboos grow very densely, only the sporadic sunlight pours down, and as soon as you enter the yard, you feel much cooler than outside.
There was no one else in the yard. Su Xiaoqiu pulled Shen Bai in, skillfully closed the courtyard door, and then slumped his shoulders and breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "I'm so tired." β
As she spoke, Su Xiaoqiu did what Shen Bai had been trying to do for the past few days, and she shook her hands and feet without any image, as if she had thrown off all the disguises she had just put in front of people.
Shen Bai stood motionless, Su Xiaoqiu looked back and asked suspiciously, "Doesn't Miss Shen feel uncomfortable?" β
Shen Bai also relaxed a little, nodded and said: "It's quite uncomfortable, there are so many rules like this, and if you don't do anything right, it will attract other people's jokes." β
Behind the bamboo forest was an old bamboo house, the bamboo house had obviously only been cleaned recently, Su Xiaoqiu took Shen Bai into the house to sit, poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
Shen Bai took a sip, it was sweet and sour plum juice, and after drinking it, the heat and the depression in his chest all dissipated, and Shen Bai's brows relaxed.
Su Xiaoqiu also poured himself a glass, took a small sip, and said with sparkling eyes: "My father said that this room will be mine in the future, I can study my herbs in it, and I can grow some herbs in the yard." β
Shen Bai said: "That's good. β
"yes, that's good." Su Xiaoqiu nodded, lowered his eyes and looked at himself in the cup, "My father also said that he would bring his mother's grave to Hanjing, and my mother should be very happy." β
Speaking of the back, Su Xiaoqiu's voice was lonely, obviously she didn't say anything, but it made people feel her sadness in an instant.
According to the memory of the previous life, Shen Bai should have anxiously asked her if she had been bullied after returning to Beijing at this time, but after returning from Yuanfeng County, Shen Bai had doubts about some things in the previous life.
After a while, Su Xiaoqiu raised her head, the light at the bottom of her eyes dissipated, and she became gray, confused and helpless, and said: "My lord, Hanjing City is so big and prosperous, I almost forget what I was like at the beginning." β
After Su Xiaoqiu finished speaking, mist appeared in his eyes, and Shen Bai said lightly: "Lord Su is very good to you." You will have everything that the daughter of the Su family should have, and you also have medical skills, no matter where you are, you can live well. β
Shen Bai was telling the truth, but his tone was quite different from that of him before in Yuanfeng County, Su Xiaoqiu was a little injured, and asked cautiously: "But what did I do not do well to make you angry?" β
Shen Bai shook his head and reminded gently: "I have recovered my daughter's body, and I am no longer a Qincha adult, I will be called Miss Shen in the future." β
Su Xiaoqiu's eyes were very red, he bit his lip and nodded, and in the blink of his eyes, tears the size of beans rolled down.
Shen Bai has seen many beauties crying, but there are few who cry so pitifully like Su Xiaoqiu, after all, he still didn't bear the level of pity and cherishing jade, Shen Bai handed the silk handkerchief to Su Xiaoqiu, and asked: "Speak well, what are you crying about, fortunately I am a woman now, if I am still a man, I am afraid that others will think that I have done something inferior to you when I go out for a while." β
Su Xiaoqiu took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, let Miss Shen smile, I'm alone in Hanjing, I have been unable to sleep peacefully for days, and there is no one I know to talk to, I thought that I had some friendship with Miss Shen in Mozhou, and Miss Shen would treat me as a friend, so I lost control, I didn't expect it to be my wishful thinking." β
Su Xiaoqiu's words were crying, humble and aggrieved, the tears not only did not stop, but surged even more, Shen Bo suddenly felt that his head was big, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, it's not wishful thinking, I also take Miss Su as a friend." β
Su Xiaoqiu didn't look over his head and didn't speak, Shen Bai forgot his identity, just like the women who coaxed the Moon Pavilion in the previous life, he leaned over and grabbed Su Xiaoqiu's arm and coquettishly said: "Good sister, don't cry, you are dressed so beautifully today." It's not beautiful to cry and wear makeup. β
Su Xiaoqiu still didn't speak, Shen Bai squatted down in front of her without skin and face, and changed his strategy to change the topic: "Good sister's medical skills are so superb, and she has the effect of rejuvenation with wonderful hands, why is it difficult to sleep peacefully?" β
When asked about the point, Su Xiaoqiu sighed, frowned lightly, and said: "No matter how superb the doctor is, he doesn't dare to say that he has the power of rejuvenation, not to mention that I was originally just a grass farmer, and I was suddenly sent to the palace for the diagnosis and treatment of the Ninety-Five, and I was watched by so many pairs of eyes every day, how can I not be stressed?" β
Su Xiaoqiu is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, and Shen Bai was in the most rebellious stage at this time in his last life, and he was very happy and wanton. Reliving a lifetime can naturally understand Su Xiaoqiu's pressure.
She held Su Xiaoqiu's hand and said gently but firmly: "Sister did it, and she did it well." β
Her eyes were bright and clear, without any distractions, Su Xiaoqiu looked at her for a moment, and suddenly lowered her eyes.
Although this dodge was very secretive, Shen Bai still noticed it, and his heart was slightly stinging.
Su Xiaoqiu is afraid to look at her?
Shen Bai wasn't quite sure, Su Xiaoqiu had pulled her to sit down, and said earnestly: "I don't know anyone in Beijing, I don't understand many places, only when I see an adult can I feel at ease, if something happens in the future, can I go to the Taifu Mansion to discuss with the adult?" β
Su Yanqiu's eyes widened. With a longing face, like a person who is about to drown, he clutches the last straw and refuses to let go.
Shen Bai pondered for a moment and nodded, "Since we are friends, we will naturally help find a way if there is anything." β
Su Xiaoqiu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Shen Bai seriously and said, "My lord, it's good to know you." β
Shen Bai bent his eyes and smiled in response.
She didn't know how Su Xiaoqiu was doing in the Su family before today, anyway, after today, Su Xiaoqiu's status in the Su family would not be low.
With such a big favor and a row of noodles smashed down, Su Xiaoqiu was still so scared, did he really not understand the situation or was he determined to find an excuse to stick to himself?
Su Xiaoqiu has been the eldest lady of the Su family again, what are you still doing with her?
Shen Bai was full of suspicions in his heart, Su Xiaoqiu quickly calmed down, in the end, the banquet was not over yet, and the two of them couldn't disappear for too long. Shen Bai and Su Xiaoqiu returned to the banquet as if nothing had happened.
After sitting for another half an hour, everyone left one after another, Shen Bai obediently and skillfully followed the Sun family to greet and recognize people, came out of the Su family, got into the carriage and finally relaxed, Lu Jian immediately helped her knead her arms and legs, and asked with concern: "Miss must be tired today." β
Shen Bai nodded.
I'm so tired, eating such a feast is more tiring than having two verbal battles with those old foxes in the council hall.
Shen Bai didn't want to speak, but Mama Ye said: "There will be many such occasions in the future, and the young lady must get used to it as soon as possible." β
Shen Bai felt that he couldn't adapt to it, and was about to refute, when he heard Mama Ye say, "Miss Fang Cai is not here, Mrs. Gu from the Guogong Mansion came to talk to Mrs. said that it was her birthday soon, and Mrs. Gu didn't want to make a big deal of it, so she should only invite a few ladies and young ladies to have a light meal, and Mrs. had already promised to take the young lady to the banquet. β
Shen Bai: "??"
The family banquet in the Guogong Mansion, she really can't say that she can't go.
The carriage quickly returned to the Taifu Mansion, Shen Bai had been thinking about the family banquet in the Guogong Mansion, and he was absent-minded, and he didn't say hello to the Sun family, and went back to Shuyun Yuan directly, but the Sun family was so angry that he couldn't do anything about her.
Shen Bai's performance in Su Mansion today is okay, but Murong Xuan said in front of so many people that she had a skin-to-skin relationship with him in Mozhou, and the fact that she had shared a bed with him would definitely be publicized, Ye Wanyu, as Gu Hengzhou's second aunt, would feel more or less uncomfortable after hearing it.
Zhen Guogong did not die in battle. The ambition of the second room to embezzle the property of the Guogong Mansion has not yet been exposed, judging from Gu Hengzhou's respect for Gu Huaijin, how can Shen Bai give Ye Wanyu a little face.
Shen Bai is a little embarrassed, with her current image, what kind of gift can she give to her second aunt and uncle to have room to return?
Shen Bai racked his brains and thought about it, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate of Shuyun Garden, Mama Li greeted him and said anxiously, "Miss, you can be regarded as back." β
This tone seemed like something big had happened, Shen Bai hurriedly cut off his thoughts, looked up, and saw that Mama Li was followed by a teenager.
The young man was dressed in plain cotton and linen white, standing behind Mama Li with his hands and eyes closed, his face was calm and calm, not much different from when he first met, but after losing his vision, there were two more faint sorrows on his body.
Xu was aware of Shen Bai's gaze, and the young man turned slightly sideways to face Shen Bai and saluted respectfully.
He had his tongue cut out, and now that he had no eyes, he could still stand upright in front of Shen Bai, and his vitality was so tenacious that Shen Bai was surprised.
After being away from Beijing for so long, Shen Bai thought that he had already become an outcast and was abandoned by the master behind the scenes, but he didn't expect to be sent back to Taifu's Mansion now.
Shen Bai accepted his salute and said lightly: "It's good to come back, your eyes are not convenient, you will still serve in Shuyun Garden in the future, but there are some tasks that you should not be able to do, I will arrange errands for you in a while." β
It was not easy for Li Shan to come back alive, and Shen Bai did not ask him who the intention of the master behind the scenes was.
Mama Li didn't know who else was behind Li Shan, so she only frowned and said, "Miss, he is a man, how can he stay in Shuyun Garden on an errand?" β
Shen Bai subconsciously retorted: "He used to be my personal servant, but now he can't see with his eyes, I don't feel at ease when I put it elsewhere, why can't I be an errand in Shuyun Garden?" β
Not only was he blind, but he was also tortured by the palace, which was inhumane at all, and was safer than the eunuchs in the palace.
Shen Bai didn't say the next words, he only felt that the people behind the scenes were really cruel enough, turning a living person into a machine with only hearing.
Mama Li still twisted her eyebrows and disagreed: "Even if you can't see it." He is also a man, and it is really inappropriate for the young lady to leave him in the hospital! β
Shen Bai still wanted to refute, but Mama Ye said again: "He can't see or speak now, and it won't be of much benefit to the two of you to keep him by Miss's side." β
Mama Ye has a point, but since the people behind the scenes sent him back, they have a certain intention, if she doesn't keep him, will he still have a way to live?
Shen Bai was a little worried, and was struggling, when there was a soft sound in the room, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Li Shan subconsciously turned around and blocked in front of Shen Bai, reacting faster than everyone present, but he couldn't tell what was happening now, so he could only use his body to protect Shen Bai.
Shen Bai's heart was hot, and after waiting for a while, he didn't hear any movement, then turned his head and said to Mama Ye: "What Mama said just now is indeed reasonable, I will seriously consider it, let him stay in Shuyun Garden for the next two days, if there is any gossip, I will bear it, Mama doesn't need to worry." β
Mama Ye wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Shen Bai with her eyes.
She is not an unassertive Miss Shen, she has been to Donghengguo with the crown prince, and also participated in the great battles of Yuanfeng County and Yuexi.
Mama Ye swallowed the words that came to her mouth, gave Mama Li a look, and the two went to settle Li Shan together, Lujian and Shen Bai went back to the bedroom, and when they arrived at the door, Shen Bai said to Lujian: "I'm suddenly a little thirsty." Go to the kitchen and ask if there are any melons, cut one and ice it with well water, and then bring it to you, and you and Mama will taste it later. β
Defenseless, Greentip immediately turned and went to the kitchen.
Shen Bai entered the bedroom and closed the door, and pulled the door bolt with his hand, and quickly swept around but found no one in the house.
Could it be that she guessed wrong?
Shen Baihu walked around the room suspiciously, and checked the window again without giving up, and before leaving, the green tip closed the window tightly, and there was no trace of being pried at all.
Is there really no one?
Shen Bai sighed secretly, and a deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "What are you looking for?" β
Shen Bai was startled and turned around, Gu Hengzhou stood there with a stiff face.
Shen Bai's face immediately piled up a bright smile, and his heart bloomed sweetly. Pretended to be reserved and shook his head: "No, I just checked to see if the doors and windows are tight, Brother Gu, why are you here?" β
Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips and was silent, seeing that Shen Bai was smiling from ear to ear, his eyebrows and eyes unconsciously eased.
Shen Bai knew that he was thin-skinned and couldn't say those sweet words, so it was not difficult for him, so he changed the topic and asked earnestly: "Brother Gu must be thirsty when the weather is so hot, I'll pour you a cup of tea to drink, you sit down." β
Shen Bai pulled Gu Hengzhou to sit down, poured a full cup of tea and handed it to him, Gu Hengzhou took it and took a sip. Shen Bai held his chin and smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and asked very stupidly: "Brother Gu, is it true that you said today that I am your sweetheart?" Didn't you say this on purpose to compete with the people of Nanxiangguo, right? β
Can this kind of thing be said casually because of the competition?
Gu Hengzhou glanced at Shen Bai coldly, the meaning was quite obvious, but Shen Bai pretended not to know, snapped his fingers and said: "But I have a bad reputation, I don't follow the rules, and I always make noise and make trouble everywhere, what is there to like Brother Gu?" β
Gu Hengzhou held the teacup and said, "You are still self-aware. β
Shen Bai climbed up the pole, approached Gu Hengzhou and asked with a smile: "So is this an advantage?" Brother Gu, do you like me because I am self-aware? β
The weather was hot, she sweated a lot, most of the makeup on her face was already light, and the lipstick on her lips had already fallen off, revealing a natural lip color as soft as bean paste.
This is very similar to Shen Bai's style.
Gu Hengzhou was bewitched, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyebrows, which had always been cold, were dyed with a warm spring mood.
Shen Bai was dazzled, and the next moment, the man's cold and slightly cool lips were suppressed.
Shen Bai subconsciously leaned back, his waist was clamped, and the back of his head was tightly buckled.
The taciturn Gu Hengzhou was not ambiguous at all in his actions, in vain Shen Bai had so many fire-fighting pictures and live performances in his previous life, he was stunned and had no power to parry, and after a while, he could only grab Gu Hengzhou's sleeve and gasp.
When Gu Hengzhou let go of Shen Bai, Shen Bai's little face was flushed, and his eyes were full of water. It's like being bullied just now, but I feel that the bullying is not hard enough.
Gu Hengzhou's throat rolled down, and he said in a dumb voice, "Do you still want to know the answer to the question just now?" β
Shen Bai's brain was dizzy, I don't know if he has learned more rules after recovering his daughter's body, and he is really much more reserved than before, his little face and lips are very hot, and he shook his head again and again.
Brother Gu has admitted that she is his sweetheart, and he has so many reasons to do something.
Anyway, Brother Gu likes her too.
Shen Bai became happy again when he thought about it, licked his lips with a retrospective taste, and asked, "Brother Gu, you are much better than before, how can you improve so fast, isn't it?"
The green tendons on Gu Hengzhou's forehead jumped fiercely, and his eyes glared at Shen Bai fiercely, if this person dared to ask him if he had gone out to find someone else, he would strangle her.
Shen Bai was still a little afraid of Gu Hengzhou, so he shrunk his neck in fright, smiled flatteringly, and said, "I just want to praise Brother Gu, nothing else matters." β
Gu Hengzhou didn't let Shen Baimeng get through, and said in a dumb voice: "What did you just guess, I want to hear it." β
"Oh, it's nothing." Shen Bai opened his mouth and came, and when he met Gu Hengzhou's more and more serious gaze, his heart trembled, and he explained truthfully: "I was narcissistic just now, guess if Brother Gu has been dreaming of me recently, and if you practice more in your dreams, you will naturally improve quickly, right, haha." β
Shen Bai laughed dryly, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for his dirty thoughts, how could such an upright and serious person as Brother Gu have such a messy dream.
Gu Hengzhou didn't say a word, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Shen Bai hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "Brother Gu, I'm sorry, it's me who is not serious, I shouldn't use the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman, I was wrong, don't be angry." Me??"
Shen Bai was so annoyed that he was about to cut the land and pay compensation to make Gu Hengzhou angry, but he heard a hoarse voice say, "You're right." β
Shen Bai's voice stopped abruptly, Gu Hengzhou clasped the back of her head and touched the tip of her forehead against the tip of her nose, each other was very hot and flustered, intimate, Shen Bai unconsciously breathed, and heard Gu Hengzhou say word by word: "I am not the kind of righteous gentleman you imagined, I often dream of you these days, and I have done ten times and a hundred times more to you in my dreams than now." β
Gu Hengzhou's voice was very hoarse, and Shen Bai felt hot sweat break out from the palm of the palm buckled behind his head, causing her heart to beat again and again, hitting her chest, making her limbs and bones start to numb.
Gu Hengzhou continued: "Shen Bai, I am a little different from what you imagined. β
It was too close, Shen Bai couldn't see Gu Hengzhou's expression clearly, and he only felt that his words were a bit dangerous, but after the danger, there was more bewitchment that people couldn't control and wanted to reach out and touch.
Shen Bai's eyelashes twitched, Gu Hengzhou kissed her again, and asked, "Do you know you're scared?" β
After Gu Hengzhou asked, let go of her, the door rang at the same time, and Lu Jian shouted outside the door: "Miss, the melon is cut, why did you lock the door?" β
Gu Hengzhou got up and was about to leave, but Shen Bai grabbed his hand and said with a bright smile: "Brother Gu, no matter what you are." I am all yours and can only be yours. β
"Okay."
"Then when the second aunt is at the birthday banquet, will you help me?"
"Hmm."
