"This is the madman just now?"

Murong Xuan asked curiously, seeing the little white face that had been wiped clean, he couldn't think of the person in front of him as a madman for a while.

The Praetorian Guard, who was in charge of stopping people, said to Shen Bai: "My subordinates followed her all the way, she is indeed the person just now, but she is not a man, but a woman." ”

It turned out to be a woman?

Murong Xuan's eyes widened in astonishment, and he carefully looked at the person in front of him, only to find that this person's skeleton was very small, and he was obviously much thinner than the man.

A soft and weak woman, with such a serious injury on her body, and appeared here in such an embarrassed manner, what has she experienced before?

Murong Xuan asked, "What's your name?" What about your family? Why did you appear alone in Mozhou? ”

The woman looked at Murong Xuan timidly and vigilantly, hugging her legs tightly, her body couldn't help shaking, obviously very scared, Murong Xuan saw it and hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, girl, I'm not a bad person." ”

Murong Xuan's tone was sincere, his expression was serious, the woman stared at him for a long time, and said weakly: "My name is Xiaoqiu, and I have no family. ”

Shen Bai's hanging heart was grasped tightly by an invisible big, and then let go.

Xiaoqiu.

She really remembered correctly, this woman was Gu Hengzhou's wife Su Xiaoqiu, who was married in a sedan chair in the previous life.

In the autumn of the second year of Ming Qi, she returned to Beijing with Gu Hengzhou, and recognized Su Yuanhua's father and daughter, and since then has been accompanying Gu Hengzhou with the army as a military doctor, until the autumn of the third year of Ming Qi, and was married by Zhao Che.

In the previous life, Shen Bai knew earlier than anyone that Gu Hengzhou had a delicate and soft girl by his side, this girl had a gentle and kind temperament, and had good medical skills, she accompanied Gu Hengzhou from birth to death, saved the lives of many soldiers in the army, and pulled Gu Hengzhou back from the Ghost Gate more times, and there was no one in this world who was more qualified to be the princess than her.

Su Xiaoqiu behaves in a low-key manner, treats and saves people in the army all the year round, and occasionally returns to Beijing with Gu Hengzhou to stay in the Guogong Mansion, Shen Bai can smile at other people in Beijing on weekdays, and even tease the little girl, but he doesn't dare to make a mistake to Su Xiaoqiu, even if he has seen Su Xiaoqiu a few times because of Gu Hengzhou's relationship, Shen Bai just looks at it from a distance in a proper manner, and almost never talks to Su Xiaoqiu.

The young master of the Shen family is notoriously stingy in Beijing, and he has a bad reputation, how dare he get too close to such a pure and harmless person as Miss Su and tire her reputation?

The past weighed heavily on Shen Bai's heart like a boulder, she sighed secretly, and ordered the Praetorian Guard to find a doctor to treat Su Xiaoqiu's injuries, and let the guy send hot water and clean clothes to Su Xiaoqiu to bathe.

All the men present, Shen Bai took the lead in taking the others out of the room, and let Su Xiaoqiu bathe and change clothes by himself.

Half an hour later, Su Xiaoqiu changed into a clean dress and opened the door.

The soft hair was wet and draped in the test, and Su Xiaoqiu's beautiful little face was completely revealed, but it was too thin and a little out of shape.

Su Xiaoqiu saw that Shen Bai was the highest status among so many people, so he saluted Shen Baifu, and said softly with a red face: "I've cleaned it up, thank you for your rescue." ”

Shen Bai shook his head to signal that she didn't have to be so polite, and asked Xiao Er to carry out the dirty water and pour it out, and the doctor was also invited, Shen Bai asked the doctor to go in to help Su Xiaoqiu diagnose and treat, Murong Xuan wanted to follow in, but Shen Bai stretched out his hand to stop it.

Murong Xuan frowned dissatisfiedly and asked, "What are you stopping me from doing?" ”

Shen Bai rolled his eyes and wrote in his palm: Men and women are not kissed.

As if he had heard a big joke, Murong Xuan pointed at Shen Bai and asked, "As far as you are concerned, do you know what it means to be intimate between men and women?" ”

It's a man who doesn't kiss him, right?

Murong Xuan didn't say the latter sentence, but the expression on his face clearly expressed this meaning.

Shen Bai's sense of defense between men and women is indeed not very strong, but it is also a divide, and now that this person is Su Xiaoqiu, she will definitely not let anyone overstep the rules.

Su Xiaoqiu had a lot of frostbite, and they were all serious, it took the doctor more than half an hour to help her check the good medicine, wiped her sweat and opened the door to let Shen Bai and them in, sighed and said to Shen Bai: "The frostbite on this girl's body is very serious, the body must not suffer from the cold, the parts that have festered and leaked pus need to be carefully cleaned and medicated, if the wound is inflamed and rotten, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Shen Bai knew that treating frostbite was a delicate job, nodded his head, carefully wrote down the precautions told by the doctor, and asked Xuanyin and Hu Mi to send the doctor back to the hospital, and by the way, grab some more medicine and come back.

When the people left, Shen Bai closed the door, took a pen and paper and wrote and asked Su Xiaoqiu: Where did Miss Xiaoqiu come to Mozhou? It looks so embarrassing today, but you met a bad guy on the way?

Shen Bai looks handsome, and his clothes look very luxurious, but he writes with pen and paper, Su Xiaoqiu raised his eyes quickly, and glanced at her in surprise and fear, Shen Bai smiled gently, and wrote down the explanation: Miss Xiaoqiu, don't get me wrong, I just had a little bit of a tongue injury a few days ago, so I can't speak for the time being, and it will be fine in a while.

Su Xiaoqiu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he seemed to be ashamed of his speculation, and apologized nervously: "Yes...... I'm sorry, but I shouldn't be thinking about you. ”

Su Xiaoqiu still looked very scared, Shen Bai's mood was also very complicated, and he didn't want to ask too much at this time, so he simply wrote: My name is Shen Bai, and I am the sister-in-law of Shen Ruxiu, the prince of the dynasty.

Shen Bai directly identified himself, Su Xiaoqiu looked at the words on the paper, her eyelashes couldn't help trembling, and after a while, she wanted to get up and salute after realizing it, Shen Bai helped her and shook her head to signal that she didn't have to be polite.

When Su Xiaoqiu raised his eyes to look at her again, his eyes shone with water, and he choked up: "Xiaoqiu thanks Lord Shen for his rescue!" ”

Shen Bai smiled gently, took Su Xiaoqiu downstairs, gave her the carriage to sit alone, and took Murong Xuan to follow behind on horseback, instantly changing from Lord Qincha to a guard.

Murong Xuan and Shen Bai have only known each other for two days, and they don't know Shen Bai completely, but they also have a gut feeling that this shouldn't be Shen Bai's style of acting, so he deliberately looked at Shen Bai and asked: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, you shouldn't have any thoughts about other people's little girls, right?" ”

You have a non-trivial thought about others, and your whole family has a non-trivial thinking about others!

Shen Bai ignored Murong Xuan, and when he arrived at the gate of the state capital, he took the lead in turning over and dismounting, considering that the frostbite on Su Xiaoqiu's feet was also very serious, he planned to ask the subordinates in the mansion to find a bamboo chair to carry Su Xiaoqiu in, but as soon as he entered the door, he collided with Wei Xun face to face.

Wei Xun walked in a hurry, his expression was a little angry, and he didn't know if he was old or in poor health, after hitting Shen Bai, he staggered back a few steps, and fell to the ground, the porter was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and asked nervously: "Master, are you okay?" ”

Wei Xun pushed open the door and eagerly rushed to Shen Bai and asked, "My lord went to the city to buy something today?" ”

He had dealt with a lot of official business today, and when he went home, he wanted to take a good rest, but he heard the account room say that there were a lot of accounts from the house, and the sum of the front and back was almost four or five hundred taels of silver.

Wei Xun can get four or five hundred taels of silver, but this is not a small amount for him, he himself did not spend so much silver for holding a three-day flowing water banquet when he celebrated his fortieth birthday the year before last.

Wei Xun not only had pain in the flesh but also angina, but when he saw Shen Bai, he still had to try to restrain his temper, hoping that Shen Bai would deny it, in fact, he didn't spend so much money.

However, it backfired, Shen Bai nodded calmly, she just went to buy things and spend money this year.

Wei Xun gritted his teeth and was about to say something, when Xuanyin and Hu Mi came back with the medicine bag and all kinds of supplements, and Murong Xuan also helped Su Xiaoqiu to enter the door.

Xuanyin said to Shen Bai: "My lord, according to your instructions, it is all the best medicine to take, plus the consultation fee, a total of eighty taels, will the bill be handed over to the account office in a while?" ”

Although Xuanyin said the words to Shen Bai, these words were listened to by Wei Xun, and Shen Bai did not bring the account office to Mozhou, so the diagnosis fee naturally had to be recorded on Wei Xun's head.

Wei Xun was not good at getting angry directly, his eyes looked at Su Xiaoqiu coldly, Su Xiaoqiu was so frightened that he hid behind Murong Xuan, Shen Bai blocked in front of Wei Xun, blocked his sight, and waved his hand to signal Murong Xuan to go back to the North Courtyard first.

When the people left, Shen Bai pulled Wei Xun to the front hall and wrote with a pen and paper: I am happy today, I spent a little more money, this money is nothing in Hanjing, I originally planned to let Lord Wei pay in advance first, and then write a letter home to let people pay back double, but just now I saw that Lord Wei seemed to be very unhappy, so forget it, I don't spend money these days, or wait for the money to be sent by the family.

Hanjing is the capital of Zhaoling, full of powerful and wealthy people, and a few hundred taels of silver is indeed nothing.

As soon as Wei Xun saw the four words double return, he was so annoyed that he couldn't do it.

His vision is still too low, even if Shen Bai spent a few hundred taels of silver and didn't give it to him, he can also make a lot of oil and water with this disaster relief money, what else do you care about so much?

Thinking about this clearly, Wei Xun's face softened, the corners of his lips rose with a smile, and he said flatteringly: "The lower official just asks, there is no other meaning, if the adults want to eat and play, even if they buy it, the account will definitely be collected in full." ”

After Wei Xun finished speaking, he thought of Su Xiaoqiu, and asked tentatively, "Who is that girl that Lord Fang brought back?" Xia Guan looked at her and seemed to have injuries on her body. ”

Shen Bai didn't want to say much about Su Xiaoqiu, and he didn't want Wei Xun to continue to ask, so he wrote on the paper with a cold face: She is a very important old person to me, and she will return to Beijing with me in a while, I don't like to be close to women, and the two maids sent to me by Lord Wei before will take care of her, and I won't trouble Lord Wei anymore.

Wei Xun shook his head again and again: "My lord's words are too polite, my lord came to Mozhou to control the flood by decree, it is for the benefit of our people in Mozhou, and it is the duty of the lower officials to take care of the adults and the people that the adults care about, and they dare not say trouble." ”

Wei Xun has been an official for so many years, and Shen Bai does not expose the kung fu of sycophancy, and he smiles hypocritically and politely, and writes: These days are still hard for Lord Wei, and Shen Bai has taken the credit of the adult to heart, and when he returns to Hanjing in the future, he must say a few good words for Lord Wei in front of the emperor.

Wei Xun smiled on his face, and arched his hand: "Then Wei will thank Lord Shen first." ”

Huh, thank me? You old man, you just want to kill me.

Shen Bai slandered, said no more, and sent Wei Circuit North Courtyard.

Su Xiaoqiu had already been settled, and the two maids were also transferred to take care of her, Shen Bai stood outside the door for a while, knowing that Su Xiaoqiu had drunk the medicine and slept before returning to his room.

There was a lamp burning in the room, and Murong Xuan was staring at Xuanyin and Hu Mi with his hands around his chest.

As soon as Shen Bai entered the house, Xuanyin and Hu Mi saw the bones like dogs, and immediately looked at them, and Xuanyin asked attentively: "Do you want to bathe and change clothes?" ”

Hu Mi also said: "The slave family can massage the feet, which can relieve fatigue and fatigue, can adults try it?" ”

has already said that he wants to make a play, Xuanyin and Hu Mi want to do everything they can to please Shen Bai, one is to show the people in this mansion, and the other is to get closer to Shen Bai.

Although Xuanyin and Hu Mi are in their early twenties, their posture can be regarded as relatively outstanding, and their attitudes are good, and Murong Xuan, who is standing on the side with a black face, are simply two extremes, as long as they are not blind, they will not hesitate to choose them.

Shen Bai didn't want to see Murong Xuan's face, but she was not really a man, Xuanyin and Hu Mi had been in love for a long time, if she got too close to them, it was very likely that she would be found secret, how could it be easy for Murong Xuan, a child who was not straightforward, to be deceived?

Shen Bai shook his head, refused Xuanyin and Hu Mi, and left the two of them in the house to take them to the next room to rest.

As soon as the two of them left, Murong Xuan took the lead in getting into bed, wrapped himself in all the quilts and wrapped himself into a silkworm chrysalis, the meaning of precaution was obvious.

Shen Bai was speechless, if it weren't for the fact that the weather was too cold now, she wouldn't have squeezed a bed with him.

Shen Bai found another quilt and slept next to Murong Xuan.

In the next few days, Shen Bai took Murong Xuan, Xuanyin, and Hu Mi to the city every day to buy things, but they were all more restrained, and they all bought worthless gadgets, not as lavishly as on the first day.

In addition to buying things for them, Shen Bai would also buy some delicious food for Su Xiaoqiu to bring back every day, but she would not enter the house, but just let the maid send it in.

There were still a lot of clothes to buy for Murong Xuan before, and Shen Bai asked the tailor to make two clothes for Su Xiaoqiu.

After playing like this for a few days, almost all the people of Mozhou City knew that there was a good manly Lord Qincha in Beijing, and not only that, this adult also liked several people to play together, with a variety of tricks, singing every night.

Rumors are the most pervasive thing in this world, Shen Bai naturally heard about this, when she was in Hanjing, she did a lot of things to smear others behind her back, and naturally knew why these rumors spread so well.

But she was not in a hurry at all, she was very calm, she should still eat and drink, and she was fine.

On the eighth day, Wei Xun sent someone to invite her to the yamen of the state capital, saying that after the notice was posted, the people in the city enthusiastically signed up to be volunteers.

Shen Bai happened to be a little bored, and when he heard this, he immediately came to his senses and took Murong Xuan to the state government with him.

Although Shen Bai has been very attentive to Xuanyin and Hu Mi these days, he only leaves Murong Xuan in the room every night, which shows that Murong Xuan is the most suitable for her.

After acting for so many days, Shen Bai would immediately pull down Murong Xuan's face as long as he moved his hands and feet, it was very awkward, and Wei Xun was surprised to see it next to him.

Although this little Langjun is more outstanding, but his temperament is too stubborn, the prime minister said that he is similar to the prince of Hanjing, and he will definitely be able to enter the eyes of Young Master Shen, but Young Master Shen's taste is inevitably too peculiar, is it because he is cheap in his bones, and he likes to use a hot face to stick to people's cold butts?

Wei Xun secretly guessed to himself, and took Shen Bai and Murong Xuan to the mansion together, they didn't go early, there was already a long queue outside the mansion, and there were quite a lot of people coming, but most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were not many young and middle-aged people.

Shen Bai glanced at it and directly told Wei Xun that he should only recruit young and powerful volunteers, and that repairing the canal is a hard work, not pretending to be charity, and it is better for these people who want to come to eat and drink to go home and stay consciously.

Wei Xun looked embarrassed and said, "My lord, if you don't have a salary, how can anyone want to waste your efforts." ”

Shen Bai was about to enter the mansion to have a look, but when he heard Wei Xun's words, he let go of Murong Xuan, turned around and went out, and pulled out a thin man like a bamboo pole from the crowd in line.

The man's face was pale, and he was startled when Shen Bai pulled it out, and he took a big breath of cold air, his throat was irritated, and he couldn't stop coughing violently.

Shen Bai let go of the man and looked at Wei Xun coldly, this kind of person is used to work, if he dies halfway, I am afraid that he will have to play tricks and ask the government to compensate and compensate.

Wei Xun had nothing to say, so he could only follow Shen Bai's intentions and order his subordinates to drive away those who were useless at first sight.

These people came to line up early in the morning, but before they could step into the gate of the government office, they were told that they would not accept them, and they were a little unwilling, and they reasoned with the yacha, and somehow got into an argument and shouted loudly.

This matter should have been handled by Wei Xun, but the crowd became more and more excited, and they directly pointed at Shen Bai and shouted: "It's all this lord who said he didn't want you, and you can ask him if you have any grievances!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their angry eyes on Shen Bai.

Shen Bai could see that those yacha were deliberately pushing the crowd to arouse public anger, and then pretending to resist but let these people settle accounts with Shen Bai angrily.

Shen Bai had already taken precautions, and didn't want to have a head-on conflict with these people, seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, and he didn't have any backbone to prepare to slip away, who would have thought that he was pulled by Murong Xuan, who was a tendon, Murong Xuan said seriously: "These people can't be used in the first place, and it's not your fault, why are you running away?" ”

Shen Bai: "......"

Brother, the brain is a good thing, you don't want to judge the high and low with so many people here with the power of one person, right?

Shen Bai twitched the corners of his eyes speechlessly, trying to pull Murong Xuan away but unsuccessfully, but was dragged down and surrounded by the crowd.

Murong Xuan prepared a stomach of truth to say, but was directly overshadowed by the noisy voice, the crowd should also be mixed with people who Wei Xun had arranged a long time ago, these people instigated others to make trouble, and after surrounding, they took advantage of the chaos to punch and kick the two.

Murong Xuan only realized at this time that he couldn't reason with these people at all, and pulled Shen Bai to rush out of the crowd, just took two steps forward, a cold light flashed, Murong Xuan subconsciously turned around and hugged Shen Bai into his arms, and someone slashed him on the back.

Shen Bai's head was pressed against his chest, and he couldn't see anything, he only heard Murong Xuan snort, his heart tightened, and he was worried that something big would happen, when a cold and solemn voice sounded: "It is a felony to obstruct official business and maliciously harm the officials of the imperial court, whoever dares to move again will be put in prison immediately!" ”

Shen Bai's eyes lit up, Brother Gu is here!
