Chapter 2: Residual Drunkenness (Part I)

Lying in Wang Xun's arms and crying silently for a while, Bai Jingzhi slowly stopped her tears. She is older than Wang Xun and has more experience. Although he was very reluctant in his heart, he also knew very well that it was a very wise choice for Wang Xun to leave Jingshi and go to Anxi to seek refuge with Feng Changqing for the time being.

Going to Anxi is not just to gain fame, although under the care of General Feng Changqing, Wang Xun will definitely go there faster than staying in Jingshi to be promoted. More importantly, it may be safer for Wang Xun to go to Anxi to deal with the barbarian peoples of the Western Regions than to stay in the Flying Dragon Praetorian Guard. He's been exposed to so many things lately that many of the secrets can't be exposed to the light at all. The owners of those secrets may not be able to bear each other or be powerless to hurt each other. But killing all the bystanders is a breeze!

Even if others don't mean to kill themselves, with Wang Xun's arrogant character, it is inevitable that one day he will be regarded as a thorn in the side of a big person. At that time, I am afraid that Feng Changqing wants to protect him, but he will not be able to whip him.

"You, when are you going to leave?" With a sniffle, she asked in a low voice.

"As soon as possible! Set off while the weather is still warm. Wang Xun thought for a while and replied with a smile. He only had a rough plan in mind now, and he couldn't set a specific time at all. Leaving Jingshi to go to Anxi was an idea he had only thought of on the way to Jinhualou on horseback yesterday. At first, it was just an occasional impulse, but the more I thought about it, the more serious it became, and it slowly turned into an obsession.

"When the time comes, don't be too anxious to make meritorious contributions. When there is danger, let others rush first, you slow down behind, no one can see it! Bai Jingzhi didn't care about the flaws in Wang Xun's words, rubbed her eyes, and whispered.

"Got it!" Wang Xun shook his head and laughed, his voice inadvertently dragging on. "How easy is it to fight? The countries of the Western Regions have long been frightened by Gao Xianzhi. Don't dare to stab easily. I estimate that in a short period of time, that is, to expel horse bandits and eliminate bandits, there will be no risk at all! ”

Since Li Linfu took power, he has been obsessed with party disputes and cronyism. Datang's national strength slowly went downhill. In border conflicts, it is also a time to lose and sometimes to win, and there is no longer the deterrent power of stomping the surrounding countries in the Yongzheng years. And in order to whitewash the peace, Li Linfu always exaggerated the results of the battle and turned defeat into victory. Therefore, the people have a very blind confidence in the prestige of the army. Especially a generation like Wang Xun, who has never heard the voice of soldiers since childhood, simply regards war as easy as drinking and fighting, and does not believe that they may be defeated, injured, or even lose their lives.

Seeing that the lover said so arrogantly, Bai Jingzhi didn't dare to spoil her mouth, muttered for a while, and continued to advise: "Then think more about your home when you have time." Think of Aunt Yun, Ziluo, and me. Don't keep thinking about fighting and killing people, if you have too much blood on your body, the Buddha will blame you! ”

"How can the Buddha take care of me." For the strange power and chaos, Wang Xun scoffed at everything. "His old man's own dinner has not yet landed, and I heard Zhou Laohu say last time that Tianzhu Country was invaded by a big food, and many Buddhist temples were burned down by people with white turbans. He also claimed to be at the behest of the gods. I don't know which god actually instigated a group of disciples who robbed homes and houses? ”

There are also many big cannibals with white turbans in Chang'an City. They are found in jewelry, spices, silk, jewelry, and even in the black market human trafficking. The speed at which these guys turn their faces is comparable to that of flipping through a book, and they don't understand the truth that buying and selling is not benevolent. And like to get together and huddle, buy and sell. Therefore, the reputation among the people of Chang'an is not very good. Hearing Wang Xun make fun of the Buddhists and these big cannibals without concealment, Bai Jingzhi couldn't help but punch him hard, and scolded with a smile: "Don't say anything." The gods are all ears. Maybe you'll hear it. Anyway, you have to be more careful yourself, I will burn incense every day from today, and ask the Buddha to bless you to come back safely! ”

"I hope the Buddha you are asking for has a conscience! Don't eat your incense in vain. Wang Xun smiled and shook his head, not thinking that the Buddha was true, but he was very moved in his heart after all. Let's not talk about this now, you call Xiao Ping'er in and ask her to serve you to wash and change your clothes. I'm going to find Honggu!"

"Oh!" Bai Jingzhi agreed casually, only to realize that she was only wearing an outer robe on her body, and she was wearing nothing inside. His face turned red with shame, pushed Wang Xun away, and while putting a small coat on his head, he was disgusted, "I blame you." I'm still dizzy. Don't rush downstairs, I'll talk to Honggu myself later. You help me pull the rope at the foot of the bed first. The bell tied at the other end was above Ping'er's head downstairs, and when she heard it, she would come up soon! ”

"Oh!" Wang Xun lowered his head when he heard this, and sure enough, in a very inconspicuous place in the upper left corner of the bed, he found a piece of red rope. "No wonder before, Ping'er always came over suddenly and pushed the door." While pulling, he made a sudden realization, "It turned out to be your ......."

"Dead!" Bai Jingzhi's little trick of self-protection was exposed, and she was so ashamed that she waved her pink fist, "Didn't people let you succeed yesterday?" Still not satisfied? What do you do when you keep mentioning the past? ”

"Don't mention it, don't mention it!" Wang Xun smiled and pulled a few more times, and while carefully chasing the faint ringtone, he frowned and said, "It's so clear, I didn't notice it before!" Didn't she ....... last night?"

Thinking of this layer suddenly, Bai Jingzhi immediately felt ashamed. Covering his face with his hands, he exclaimed in a low voice, "Huh? Why didn't you remind me earlier? It's miserable, it's all for her, how can you let me see her?! ”

At this moment, it is obviously too late to find a way to remedy it. The knocker knocked lightly, and the maid Ping'er poked into half of her head with red eyes, "Miss, can I come in?" ”

"Don't -----!" Bai Jingzhi subconsciously refused, and then thought that she had nothing to hide, twisted her head to the corner of the wall, and added in a low voice, "Don't stand at the door." Hurry in and help with your clothes. Dead Nizi, I slept really deeply, and I didn't get up early to help me get face wash! ”

This is simply unreasonable, she doesn't ring the bell, how dare the other party come up and ruin her dreams? Fortunately, Ping'er has been following Bai Jingzhi for many years, knowing that the hostess has a tender face, she apologized in a low voice, hung her head, stepped forward silently, and helped the other party wash and groom.

There were very few clothes to wear in the summer, so Bai Jingzhi quickly packed up her outfits and sat down in front of the dresser. Her eyes swept over the bronze mirror, and unintentionally, she suddenly saw Ping'er holding a comb and crying silently behind her back. He smiled and said, "Your temper is still big!" I'm wrong about you, okay? Don't cry, early in the morning, and don't be afraid of crying and swollen eyes! ”

"Miss......." Hearing this, Ping'er felt more and more sad, and even stood not far away despite Wang Xun, hugging Bai Jingzhi's shoulder and whimpering.

After taking care of each other for so many years, and the parting was imminent, Bai Jingzhi was also a little sad in her heart, sighed, and comforted: "Don't cry, I'll take you with me." Later, I'll talk to Honggu for you! ”

"Sister, you, you're really stupid this time!" Not knowing how to express her feelings, Ping'er choked up. Originally, the two had been cooperating with each other, and they said that they would force Wang Xun to agree to take Bai Jingzhi into Chongrenfang's old mansion in a dignified manner before they were willing to let him succeed. Unexpectedly, Bai Jingzhi was dizzy for a while last night, and she didn't stick to the bottom limit. didn't even ask for a promise, so she handed herself over in a daze.

What if Wang Xun is full and wipes his mouth and leaves? Can a woman in a green house find a place to denounce her benefactor? What if after entering the Wang family, what if you are bullied by her pair of old and young foxes? The master and servant are helpless, who can they rely on when the time comes?

The more she thought about it, the more worried Ping'er became, she didn't sleep last night with her eyes open. When I saw Bai Jingzhi this morning, I couldn't bear it anymore, and all my doubts turned into tears.

Turning her head to hug her maid Ping'er, Bai Jingzhi also had mixed tastes in her heart. In the battle of wits with Wang Xun, Ping'er has always been a villain with a straight face, while she is disguised as a delicate and ownerless character. In fact, all the good and evil people are out of her secret planning, and Ping'er is just a puppet.

But last night, it was she who took the initiative to pull out the hairpin. handed over the long hair and clean body to Wang Xun. From a certain point of view, Ping'er is not wrong to say that she is stupid. Thinking of this, Bai Jingzhi held back her tears, patted Ping'er's shoulder, and whispered: "You're right." Sister is stupid. But women, sooner or later, will be stupid once in this life. ”

"For him?" Ping'er paused and looked back at Wang Xun, who was restless. Still as ignorant as before, from two years ago to now, she has never seen anything good about this person.

But everything is already in place. The master made a choice, how could she be qualified to put a beak as a little maid? I had to gamble on it and resign myself to fate. Just as he was feeling sorry for himself, he heard the hostess order with a smile, "Don't stare at you." In the future, the two of us sisters will have to rely on him. Hurry up to the lobby and invite Aunt Hong to help me. Let's just say that I have decided to marry Wang Lang, and I plan to say goodbye to her today! ”

"Hmm!" Ping'er nodded, stood up, and walked out silently. A moment later, with the sound of hurried footsteps, the old bustard Honggu in Jinhualou rushed in crying, "Oh, my meat, why are you so stupid." Anyway, let me prepare first. Just leave, isn't this a knife to rip out my heart......"

"Sister Hong, don't cry, how much redemption money should be paid, just open your mouth!" Wang Xun was so embarrassed by crying, he took half a step sideways, and said with a smile.

"Where is this a matter of money or not!" Honggu grabbed a handkerchief and wiped her eyes vigorously, "Even if Zhi'er is not pregnant in October, I grew up with a handful of and a handful of urine." I originally planned to hand over Jinhua Building to her, so that she could give me a pension in the future. Who would have thought that her girl was outgoing, and she actually ......."

While crying, which eye peeked at Wang Xun. As early as last night, seeing that Wang Xun had not come downstairs, she had already begun to sharpen her knives. It's just that I don't know where the other party's bottom line is. If you report too low, I'm afraid I'll be sorry for myself. The price was too high, and I was afraid that it would be called yellow, so I smashed the white wattle in my hand. After all, after last night, Bai Jingzhi can no longer be counted as a clear person. In the future, if you stay in Jinhua Building for one more day, the price will fall by a cut. (Note 1)

"I know that she is the signboard of Kam Wah Building. But she and I are really in love. Therefore, please also ask Sister Hong to fulfill it! Hearing Honggu crying heartbreakingly, Wang Xun inevitably misunderstood what she meant. He smiled and continued to plead.

Even if the surname Wang is too stupid, and if he changes to another guest, Bai Jingzhi is afraid that a year and a half ago, she would not have been a Qing Qi person. Only this fool has worked so hard until now! This kind of fool is not slaughtered for nothing. Thinking of this, Honggu put away her tears and choked up: "Without Zhi'er, I had to close Jinhualou." There are 100 mouths in this building, and you can't just give a few dollars and send them away. They are all sisters of Zhi'er for many years, and they are like brothers and sisters. If the little marquis really feels sorry for Zhi'er......"

was about to quote a sky-high price, but who expected that Bai Jingzhi couldn't bear it anymore. coughed lightly and stepped forward to interject, "Auntie, don't say that." The signboard of Jinhua Building was supported by the sisters. The daughter didn't dare to rob others. I remember when you bought me, it only cost three dollars. Later, who hired a lot of teachers to teach me to sing, dance, write and draw, but since the age of fourteen, in which year did I earn less than a thousand hangings? ”

"That can't be counted!" Hearing this, Honggu's face immediately changed, "In order to protect you from being bullied, I tried my best!" There are also rouge gouaches, jewelry, one item, all of which are picked up with the best for you to choose. Take this ...... where you live."

"Auntie. Didn't we say yes? It's good to gather and disperse. With so many sisters in the building, who can stay by your side until you are old? You are not short of money, so why don't you leave them a good thought? Bai Jingzhi immediately put away her weak posture, leaned her body on Wang Xun's shoulder, and responded with a smile.

"This ......" I didn't expect Bai Jingzhi to become so tough, Honggu was speechless. Doing the Qinglou line is a million profits, and at the same time, he also stepped on the blade. When she was young, she once saw with her own eyes how a famous prostitute who climbed a high branch and turned into a phoenix forced the former bustard to the point that she couldn't survive and die. Today, if she gritted her teeth and didn't let go, she would certainly be able to scrape out thousands of flesh from Wang Xun's body. But as soon as this price is opened, it is equivalent to setting an example for other "daughters" in Jinhua Building. Those who can't find a wronged leader like Wang Xun will inevitably hold a grudge. In the future, if someone is lucky enough to come to operate, I am afraid that the prosperity of Jinhualou will come to an end.

Moreover, Wang Xun himself is a hereditary viscount, a six-rank lieutenant, and his future is very good. Bai Jingzhi is obviously a person who can be favored for a long time even if she is a concubine. If the two of them turn around and settle old accounts after they are developed.......

"I've heard people say that the benefits of selling pearls across the ocean are only twenty times." Seeing Bai Jingzhi leaning on himself with pride, Wang Xun, who was originally a little overwhelmed by joy, slowly regained his senses, thought about it, and added with a smile, "Counting Jingzhi's expenses in the building over the years, I'll give you a thousand pieces of meat, what do you think?" In the future, you will still be the elder of Jingzhi, and the two of us will never forget the benefits of your old age! ”

A thousand hanging meat is good, enough to buy a hundred girls when the opportunity is right, and from small ** to large. has already made a plan to lose money, how can Honggu refuse? Pretending not to see Bai Jingzhi stepping on Wang Xun's little boots, she raised her handkerchief, and didn't say anything to agree, "Okay, okay, thank you for your grace." I won't say anything else, the things in this house, what Jing Zhi likes, just take it. Together with this little girl....... "Speaking of this, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Wang Xun's angry Ping'er, "It's counted as an addition, it's for nothing!" ”
