Chapter 70: Early
The situation in Dachu, the forces of the Quartet~
Bai Zhang was slightly stunned in his heart. It's really not good in recent years.
In the second year of the Mandate of Heaven, the Great Chu began to divide internally, so the county was abolished as a state, and ten roads were set up, and the inspection envoys were inspected from time to time, and then reported to the imperial court. By the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven, the division of the imperial court became more and more serious, the left and right prime ministers were not in harmony, the imperial decree was slow to be issued, and each province began to hold a certain amount of real power. In addition, the emperor liked to fight and constantly conscripted troops to send them to the frontier, and the number of displaced people gradually increased, and the land system in each province became chaotic. Gangneung Province belongs to Sangnam Province, and although it is adjacent to Shangjing, it is no longer the Shannan Province it used to be.
Telling these gossips to Bai Qiao, Bai Zhang felt a little powerless, he was only a military general, and the court was divided and couldn't do anything at all. The Bai family is loyal to Da Chu and will never do anything disobedient.
Bai Qiao listened carefully, and after listening, he smiled slightly: "My brother's hair is combed." ”
When Bai Zhang said this, Xia Shuang had already combed her hair neatly and retreated behind Bai Qiao.
Bai Zhang was engrossed, and the heaviness in his heart was slightly relaxed when he heard the words.
"Hey! It's not like a few years ago, otherwise where would the pirates be able to get into Gangneung Mansion? Bai Zhang drank the cold porridge in the bowl. It's not a little bit of a journey from the sea to Gangneung Province, but it has to cross Gangnam Province! It is not easy to cross the huge Jiangnan Road. It can only be said that each province now has its own thoughts.
"The porridge is cold, so my brother should drink some hot porridge. Summer frost, go and give the bowl a hot one. Bai Qiao commanded.
Xia Shuang nodded: "Hello!" ”
"No need, I have to go, go to the state capital, and find out those pirates first!" Bai Zhang shook his head, put the bowl down, got up and patted his robe before leaving.
"Brother!"
"Hmm."
"I told my brother before about forming a cavalry, can my brother start arranging it?"
"Hmmm! It's already underway! However, there were too many conscriptions in the imperial court, so they could only take their time. ”
"Brother, go, be careful."
"Good!"
As soon as Bai Zhang left, Bai Qiao was also full, and after letting people remove the desk, he took Xia Shuang to class.
Gangneung Mansion is under the Shannan Provincial system, and now it is stable, although there are pirates sneaking in, but depending on the meaning of the elder brother, the state capital can be completely controlled. It's just that now the general trend is just going to be chaotic sooner or later. As long as there is a mess, all the provinces may fight against each other, if there is no own force, I am afraid that I will be trampled on and there will be no scum left.
The matter of cavalry should be as soon as possible.
"Miss." Walking through the corridor, the maids and servants saluted one after another.
Bai Qiao nodded and continued to study.
Watching Bai Qiao walk away, the maids gathered together and whispered: "The eldest lady is working very hard~"
"What's the use of hard work? In the end, the second lady is the lady of the lady's relatives. The eldest lady is studying more at the moment, also in order to please Mrs. and find a good family in the future. You also know that the eldest lady is thirteen years old this year, but I'm afraid that she will soon put the look on the agenda. ”
"That's what I said, if Madame doesn't help pick a good family, the eldest lady may not be able to find a good family."
"Yes! The eldest lady is so pitiful. ”
"Phew! What to say! The eldest lady can come back in Qianjiang is already a lady to take care of, if she stays in Qianjiang and is casually married, it will be pitiful. ”
"I think you're the one! No matter how the eldest lady marries, she is a serious official lady, unlike us who are still slaves! It's better to do more if you think about those useless things all day long! ”
"What, you can't make small talk anymore?"
"Who says it's not allowed to make small talk? This is not the time for small talk! ”
"Humph! It's really disappointing, hurry up and disperse! ”
A few people parted unhappily and went to do their own things.
As soon as Bai Qiao arrived at the door of the classroom, a maid hurriedly came out and saluted: "Miss, Mr. Du went to Mrs. and will come back later." The second lady was in the house, and the gentleman said that if the eldest lady and the second lady were bored, they could take a look at the books on the bookshelf to pass the time. ”
Bai Qiao hummed, and he kind of understood.
The maid immediately stepped aside and invited Bai Qiao into the house.
"I heard the third sister of the Liu Tui family say that there is a new jewelry shop on South Street, called Pearl Xuan. The pearls inside are all round, and they are rare things that are hard to see. I made an appointment with the third sister and wanted to go and see it! As soon as I entered the door, I saw Bai Jin talking to Xue Yan.
Seeing Bai Qiao, Bai Jin just glanced over, and then continued to speak.
Bai Qiao knew that it was impossible for Bai Jin to read a book.
Xue Yan saluted Bai Qiao and continued to talk to Bai Jin.
"When is the young lady going?"
Bai Jin thought for a while: "The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, Mr. Du will not teach, just go out." ”
"The maid went and spoke to the groom, and told them to keep the carriage."
"Hmm!" Bai Jin nodded. Although there are three coachmen in Baifu, if something happens, the three horsemen are going out, so in order to have a carriage at that time, it is better to say it first. She is not like some people, she goes out when she says she goes out, and she doesn't follow the rules at all!
Bai Qiao didn't talk to Bai Jin, but looked around the church, and rummaged through the lattices on the bookshelves, and finally because he was too bored, Bai Qiao took a random book to read. The book is not thick, it is a hand-copied version, which is not quite the same as the female Fan Jielu. But it's also about women's morality.
Mr. Du's church is indeed full of books of this kind. After reading about a few pages, Bocho put the book back and sat down in his place. In the future of Mr. Du, Bai Qiao will write a few big characters, and he will practice calligraphy casually.
About half an hour later, Mr. Du returned.
Bai Qiao took the words slowly. Open the book girl Fan Jielu.
Mr. Du glanced at the two young ladies sitting in the seats, and when he saw that both of them had opened their books, he began to lecture.
After the unification chapter is finished, the next chapter is the Houde chapter.
"Fengyi Dragon Horse, the auspicious of the Holy Emperor. Lintoe Guan Ju, the virtue of the concubine. It's the late emperor..."
Bai Jin held his cheeks and watched Mr. Du's recitation with wide eyes before he barely fell asleep. This one is so boring! It's even more boring to memorize the whole article! And that's probably what it is! The most important thing is that she didn't sleep well last night, and she was woken up by Xueyan early in the morning.
Bai Qiao didn't have anything, and sat upright and listened to the lecture.
Finally listened to Mr. Du's class, Bai Jin finally couldn't hold back the smoke and ran away! The brain is buzzing when I listen to it, but how can I memorize it!
Bai Qiao also got up.
Xia Shuang hurriedly gathered her things and prepared to leave.
Today's day was not bad, and the sun was casting dappled spots of light on the ground through the gaps in the leaves. Bai Qiao shook the fan casually. The fan is embroidered with locust flowers and butterflies in a double-sided show, the emerald green leaves reflect a bunch of white flower bones, and occasionally butterflies come quietly, which is particularly refreshing and pleasant. The wind brought by the fan is small, but it is extremely comfortable.
It's July, and the sun is still hot, but it's not as hot as the days before.
Bai Qiao found a garden pavilion and sat down, asked the maids to bring some fruit, and looked around pleasantly.
"Miss, do you want to get a book?" Xia Shuang reminded.
With such a reminder, Bai Qiao suddenly remembered a book she had seen in Mr. Ge's study before.
A one-of-a-kind book.
It was written with many years of miscellaneous things.
She felt chaotic at the time, so she put it aside and didn't get Lanshan Residence. I just want to see it at the moment.
"Hmm. Is Mr. Ge in the house? ”
"Mr. Ge?" Xia Shuang repeated.
"Hmm."
Xia Shuang didn't know if Mr. Ge was in the house, so she hurriedly sent a maid over to ask. But after a while, the girl came back and respectfully announced: "Mr. Ge is in the house, saying that he is giving a lecture to the second son." ”
Bai Qiao~ Bai Qiao has not seen Bai Wei since he returned home! I don't know that this younger brother miscalculated with Bai Qiao's shadow.
"Miss, do you have to wait for Mr. Ge to go back and get it?"
Bai Qiao thought for a moment and nodded. I took it last time, so let's
My brother lost some of the lady's pictures, and it was counted. It wouldn't be good if I went to get it again this time.
"Then the maid arranged for someone to wait, as soon as Mr. Ge comes back, let's go over?"
"Hmm."
Mr. Ge taught Bai Wei very badly, there are only so many things in a book, and it is so difficult to learn, let alone write articles. That's still early! It's so bad! At this rate, what year will you be able to give it a try? If he wins, it's fine, but if he loses, he's a shame! I won't be able to mix outside in the future! If he had known that it was such a person, Mr. Ge swore that he would never have come in the first place! No amount of money will come.
Bai Wei was a little apprehensive, and read the book in his hand carefully, not daring to leave it down at all, and remembering it in his mind little by little.
Mr. Ge took a sip of water and spit out the tea leaves in the teacup: "Mama Su, a few more chrysanthemums!" "He's going to send down the fire!
Mama Su, who was outside the door, hurriedly ran in to add chrysanthemums to Mr. Ge, and said, "Mr. Ge is tired." ”
Mr. Ge nodded. He was indeed tired.
"By the way, Mr. Ge, just now the eldest lady came to pass the word, saying that he wanted to borrow a book from you." Mama Su said.
"What? Who? Miss? Mr. Ge's eyes widened, he tugged at his two mustaches, and quickly shook his head: "No, no, no!" Don't borrow! ”
It's not good to take away so many of his treasures last time, and I'm still addicted! The young ladies and sons of General Bai's Mansion are really more than one... Well, that's not right. The second son is an elm pimple! This eldest lady is a black-hearted ghost!
Mama Su suddenly didn't know what to do. She knows that Mr. Ge has a strange temper, but this refusal is too painful, right? Isn't it time to put it mildly?
"Oops, get out! Don't borrow, don't borrow! ”
