Chapter 40 Everything Has a Root
After getting out of the car, Guan Zhuofan realized that it was time to hold the lights.
Entering the second gate, the two sisters-in-law of the Bai family and the Ming family were already waiting at the bottom of the steps. Although there had been a quick horse report before, and the letter had already been obtained, the faces of the two women were still full of irrepressible surprise.
This is the first time Guan Zhuofan has returned to the "other residence" in Wicker Hutong after his "big wedding".
After saluting, Bai said with a smile: "Lord Wang, didn't you accompany the Queen Mother to the Summer Palace today?" How can you have time to go back to ...... Come? β
The position of the ellipsis was originally a "house", but when I got to my mouth, I thought that it was very inappropriate, Prince Xuan's "house" has been moved to the north street of Chaonei, the place of wicker alley, just "don't die". So he swallowed it back raw, but the "come" behind him couldn't be stopped, and he still slipped out of his mouth.
"I miss you."
While talking, he stretched out his hand, one by one, and took the hands of the two sisters-in-law.
The twilight was already dark, but it could still be seen that the Bai family and the Ming family were blushing.
The hearts of the two women were pounding: You are already married, what, are you still happy...... Is this what it looks like?
Guan Zhuofan pulled his two sisters-in-law inside, and said with a smile: "Also, if you are hungry, come back and have a meal." β
Ming said with a smile: "I know that the prince must not have eaten yet, my sister and I sent Xiaoyun and Xiaohu to eat first, and waited for the prince by myself." β
Guan Zhuofan grinned: "'Belly from the father', but I have two sisters-in-law." β
The Bai family and the Ming family don't know what it means to "follow the public", and they don't know that Guan Zhuofan is used here, which is nondescript. It's just a joke. Bai saw Guan Zhuofan walking. While looking around, between his eyebrows and eyes, he seemed to have some regret, so he said: "Isn't this about to move into the north side street of Chaonei?" In the past few days, the family has been packing up and getting busy, so don't be surprised. β
"What am I wondering about? But ......"
Guan Zhuofan pondered for a moment and said, "Chaonei North Street." If you can use the new one, use the new one, but don't empty this place - I mean, the furniture and furnishings here are the same as the old, and the 'other mansions' should also be able to live in people. β
The Bai clan and the Ming clan glanced at each other, and Qi Qi replied softly, "Yes, Lord Wang." β
This dinner, the three of them talked softly, and it took almost an hour. Bai's and Ming's two. Naturally, he is very concerned about his married life and gets along with each other. And not to be harmonious? Is it satisfactory to live and eat?
What to ask, Guan Zhuofan said anything, and he took the trouble to explain very carefully, but he "reported good news but not bad news", and Princess Dunrou did not say a word.
This is because, first, Ming's presence, there are some things, she still don't want to smell better; Second, even if he is about the Bai family and Princess Dunrou's weirdness, Guan Zhuofan doesn't plan to say it.
The reason is different from Ming's. Guan Zhuofan went back to Wicker Hutong today, the reason was that he encountered a headache outside, and this headache, except for the Bai family, is so big in the world that there is no second person to discuss.
However, after seeing the smiles of his two sisters-in-law, he suddenly changed his mind: why bother to put this pressure on their weak shoulders? I am the man in the family, I should hold it up by myself, just hold it up by myself!
After the meal, Guan Zhuofan happily took a hot bath, changed into a loose robe, entered the study, sat down comfortably on the sofa chair, picked up the hot tea made by the maid, and took a sip.
He breathed a sigh of relief, okay, let me think about it.
At this moment, "Tuk Tuk" tapped lightly, and someone knocked on the door.
This weight, weight, short and long, is too familiar, it must be the Bai family.
Really.
Bai pushed the door and entered, holding a tray of lacquer inlaid with luodian on it, and on top of it was a bowl of steaming bird's nest porridge.
Bai smiled sweetly: "Eat porridge." β
Guan Zhuofan also smiled: "This is just dinner, do you think I have a rubber belly?" β
Bai didn't know what "eraser" was, but Guan Zhuofan's meaning was clear, and she smiled slightly: "At dinner, you talked as much as you could, you may not have eaten very much, I see it in my eyes - blame me and Ming, endlessly chattering about you." Well, this bowl of bird's nest porridge, you can eat it. β
Guan Zhuofan picked up the bowl, ate spoonful by spoonful, and praised vaguely while eating: "Good, good, it's still this taste!" β
Bai pursed his lips and smiled: "It's only been a few days, it's still like this?" β
Guan Zhuofan remembered in a trance that there was such a night before, also in this study, and there was also Bai sitting in front of him, and he also held such a bowl of bird's nest porridge in his hand?
Well, I think about it, it was An Dehai's slander, Li Lianying reported the news late at night, she was out of proportion, and she was almost about to go down to the secret and rebel.
At that time, I couldn't swallow it, and the bird's nest was in my mouth, and I didn't know what it tasted like. Now, every taste bud is stretched. Of course, there are troubles, and I haven't thought of a solution yet, but I have the confidence to fully solve them!
It's easy to move on.
After drinking the porridge, Guan Zhuofan's thoughts changed again: the woman in front of him, who was entrusted with his life and death, was also a person who had experienced strong winds and rains, and the little concubine was a little weird, where did she scare her? It's all women, why not listen to Bai's opinion? Maybe you have something else to offer.
"Shuangshuang, you came just in time, there is something I want to ask you for."
Bai Shi nodded, not surprised: "When you come back today, I just thought that there should be something special." β
Guan Zhuofan was ashamed and moved, stretched out his hand, shook Bai's hand, and said, "It's not a big dealβyou don't have to take it too seriously." It's just that I don't have a second person to discuss this matter except for you. β
So, on the day of the "surrender" and after the marriage, all kinds of eccentricities of Dunrou, as well as today's Cixi asked him to "level a bowl of water", picked up what could be said in it, and slowly told Bai Shi in a relaxed tone as much as possible.
Bai Shi listened quietly, lowered his head slightly, thought silently for a while, raised his head, and said, "Zhuo Fan, Princess Dunrou's behavior does sound a little strange. Still, I guess she's not necessarily like that on weekdays β I mean, when you're not there. β
In front of the person, "the prince", after the person, is still "Zhuofan".
Bai's words, Guan Zhuofan listened to it, and his heart jumped: Yes, I think so.
couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Shuangshuang, what you said makes sense - that's probably the case!" She may have come for me alone! I just don't know...... What's going on? β
"I think, the so-called 'getting to the bottom of things', everything has a root, the root is found, and the end of the matter can be understood, don't you say?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying - Shuangshuang, I've asked the right person!"
"Don't laugh at me. I think, this root, you have to put yourself in the shoes of Dunrou, think about it for her, and then you can find it - well, I remember, what did you talk about with Xiao Yun...... 'empathy'? β
Wow, Bai Shuangshuang, you're really hanging a kettle on a plane - a high level.

PS: Recently, many book friends have wondered, before and after Guan Zhuofan's "big wedding", will there be more pen and ink of Lion Flower?
It's really a lot - counting from the nineteen chapters of "One Red and Red Again", there are already more than twenty chapters. However, please rest assured, "Chaoqing" is a historical text, it will not become a female frequency, it will not become a romance, according to the lion's own opinion, "Chaoqing" is not a real harem and stallion.
Guan Zhuofan, Rong An, and Dunrou's marriages are all political marriages, and everyone in the bureau has their own needs and calculations. Kwan Zhuofan also has his own layout, some of which may have a significant impact on the historical direction of the book. It's just that the lion can't unveil the cup too early, otherwise it won't be fun.
This marriage is a combination and balance of interests, and feelings and sexuality account for the smallest proportion of it. However, since it is a political marriage, the quality of the marriage will have a direct or indirect impact on the gains and losses, success or failure of politics; Feelings and sexuality will have an impact on the quality of marriage, so feelings and sexuality cannot be completely avoided in the text.
The lion agreed with the book friend Huang Yunqiusai said, "If you have more concubines, it's nothing, but if you have more wives, it's really big." has developed into the current situation, Guan Zhuofan's woman, to a certain extent, is already his trouble and challenge, and it is no longer worthy of the envy of ordinary people. Of course, these troubles and challenges, if they can be dealt with one by one, will also become important opportunities for him.
What can Guan Zhuofan get out of this marriage? Please give the lion a little more patience and Guan San a little more patience.
