Chapter 219: Safe
A cleaning maid in the palace of Lin Guiren fell into the water and died.
This is not a big deal, after all, who hasn't died a few people in the palace?
However, the noble Lin made a big fire, but he was not necessarily sad for the death of the palace maid, but he kept a gloomy face for several days, and only said that he was suffering from heat stroke, so he closed the door.
When Bai Ying knew, it would be half a month later.
Lin's surname is Lin, his father is a famous businessman, and his family does not say that his family is rich, but he is much richer than many Qingliu families. It is precisely because of this that in the backyard of this Master Lin, there are many concubines who are dazzling.
It is a man's nature to like the new and hate the old, and a man who has a lot of money in his hands will only do more than the former.
If there are many women, there will naturally be no fewer children. Before the Lin nobles entered the palace, Master Lin alone had five or six sons, and there were countless daughters, among them, Master Lin's favorite was a daughter born to a concubine.
When Lin Guiren's grandmother was about to send Lin Guiren into the palace, Master Lin had other thoughts, asking Lin Guiren to bring her sister into the palace as well, although it was to be a personal palace maid, but there were many examples of palace maids flying on the branches and becoming phoenixes.
Master Lin told him that if the Lin nobles could not firmly grasp the emperor's heart, they would send their sister to the dragon bed, and the sisters would support each other, and work together to make the family rise into an imperial businessman.
Lin Guiren didn't dare to disobey his father on the surface, otherwise he would have a reputation for being unfilial, let alone entering the palace, and I was afraid that ordinary people would not want her.
But she is not a soft persimmon, she just entered the palace with her front foot, and she sent her sister to be a palace maid with her back foot, out of sight and out of mind.
As for the "mutual support" that Master Lin said, Lin Guiren sneered and put it behind. What kind of thing is a concubine, and it deserves to support each other with her?
In the past few years, Lin Guiren has been asking people to restrain her sister-in-law, never giving her any chance to send a message out of the palace, nor asking her to see the emperor. Over time, Master Lin thought that his two daughters were doing well, but it wasn't until the concubine died that he couldn't hide it, and Master Lin didn't know what Guiren Lin had done over the years.
Master Lin didn't particularly feel sorry for this concubine, after all, the concubine in his backyard gave birth to many children for him, how big is a person's heart, and that concubine and Master Lin haven't seen each other for many years, how much weight can it occupy?
Old Man Lin was angry that Noble Lin completely ignored his words, and did not respect him as a father at all, so he sent several family letters and silver to the palace in those days, and the dog scolded by Noble Lin was bloody.
He didn't want to think about it, no matter how noble Lin was now, she was also the emperor's concubine, even if her position was not high, but she hadn't made any moths in An'an over the years, and she always had some face. He scolded directly, saying that Lin Guiren was unfilial, and made Lin Guiren angry half to death.
Originally, I thought that Concubine Zhao was doing this to slap her in the face, but after reading the letter sent in by Master Lin, she sneered in the dormitory and said, "It's good to die."
When Bai Ying was basking in the sun under the porch outside the school, she also heard a girl say to another girl: "The concubine is not in the stream, if she hadn't chewed the root of her tongue with others, saying that the people in the palace of the concubine and the palace maid of the noble people came to the Cheyenne Palace one after another, they would not have ended up like this." ”
Another girl heard her say this, first nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly reacted and covered her mouth, looked left and right, only to see a white tree lying on a chair basking in the sun, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was about to fall asleep, and then let go of her friend, "You don't want to die!" ”
Saying this kind of thing, isn't it indirectly accusing the palace maid of being the hand of Concubine Zhao?
The girl who spoke muttered, but didn't mention Zhao Guifei again, although in her opinion, it was Zhao Guifei's hand, but it was one thing to know, and another thing to say it.
She sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for the niece and daughter-in-law of the second uncle of my family's concierge who was a nurse in the Lin family, this matter would not have been known to others." ”
"Okay, okay, wait for the master to come, let's go in quickly."
When passing by Bai Ying, one of the girls who was about the same age as Yao Yiyi hesitated for a moment and said kindly: "Eh, don't go to sleep, the master will come later." ”
Bai Ying rubbed her eyes, as if she had just woken up, she got up slowly, and smiled at the girl who spoke, "Thank you." ”
The girl who didn't plan to get a response glanced at Bai Ying in surprise, and was pushed into the school by her friend, until the master came, she was still saying, "This Bai Ying, it's quite easy to get along with." ”
Bai Ying, who was quite easy to get along with, was lying on the table, and her little figure was blocked by the stacks of tall books. She felt that Concubine Zhao was really terrifying, so terrible that she couldn't help but feel creepy when she even saw Fu Yunqi.
After that incident, Fu Nanqi came to her once, first scolded her with a cold face, and then said that Concubine Sang's matter was indeed arranged by Concubine Zhao, and glared at Bai Ying as she spoke, blaming her for rushing out, who wanted her to meddle in her affairs? What are you doing in this troubled water?
I am not afraid that a woman like Zhao Guifei who has a heart whose eyes are smaller than pinholes will hate her, and it is not a good thing to be targeted by poisonous snakes.
Seeing that Fu Nanqi became more and more angry the more he spoke, Bai Ying blocked it with a sentence: "If it weren't for being nice to you, I wouldn't be too lazy to meddle in my business!" You're so full! ”
The straightforward appearance reminded Fu Nanqi of the scene in Zhunan Xiaoyuan that day, and he was speechless immediately.
Later, Bai Ying held her cheeks and said, "I feel that Concubine Zhao will not give up." ”
Fu Nanqi said lightly: "I know." ”
Bai Ying glanced at him sympathetically, causing Fu Nanqi to be expressionless and about to take back the candy he brought to her.
Of course Bai Ying refused, she hurriedly said a bunch of good things, and talked about being starved by Concubine Jing that night, her eyes were full of accusations: I'm all for you!
Unexpectedly, the corners of Fu Nanqi's lips rose slightly, and he said with a smile: "You deserve it." ”
Bai Ying said angrily: "Cut the robe and break the righteousness, and the old and the dead will not get along." ”
I don't know where I touched Fu Nanqi's taboo, he immediately turned cold, "Old and dead don't get along?" Are you going to deal with Fu Yunqi? ”
The tone was flat, but the tone was cold, and the words that popped out of his mouth were like ice ballast.
Bai Ying shuddered.
finally got a good relationship with the big guy, how could he give up because of a word?
Bai Ying was afraid that Mama Shu and them would come, so she lowered her tone when she spoke, and the rainbow farts came one after another, and her mouth was dry, and Fu Nanqi's face gradually eased.
It's just that the latter two have never met again.
Bai Ying didn't know whether she was coaxed or not, she only tried to avoid Concubine Zhao, and even went to Biluoxuan to see Concubine Luo secretly.
After Concubine Sang's incident, Concubine Luo also said a few words about Bai Ying, but she loved Bai Ying, and as soon as she made a pitiful expression of admitting her mistake, Concubine Luo couldn't bear to continue.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it.
I thought again, fortunately, Bai Ying was sensible and well-behaved, otherwise their mothers would have spoiled people like princesses with such a bottomless dot.
The sound of cicadas in the trees outside was endless, the weather was stuffy and hot, and after returning to Jingyu Palace, Bai Ying and Concubine Jing had no appetite, so they went back to their rooms to rest after using some casually.
Then came the good news. Because this year's summer was too hot, some palaces used ice before May, and because there were students suffering from heat stroke one after another, Taixue decided to suspend teaching for a period of time after weighing the pros and cons.
This coke spoiled all the students.
The next day, Bai Ying slept directly until the third pole of the sun, and Concubine Jing herself was too lazy to move, so she didn't care about her.
A few days later, there was a light rain, and the stuffy and irritating weather eased.
There was no class, and Bai Ying was idle. She often reads books to practice divination and drawing talismans, and learns what the national teacher said in his letter to see if she can improve her divine sense.
After more than half a month, Bai Ying didn't understand whether he was aware or not, and his spiritual power seemed to have improved.
But she didn't dare to stay in the palace anymore.
Fu Yunqi sent some food to Jingyu Palace every once in a while, and occasionally came over in person to send some precious and thoughtful things, every time he saw the young man's gentle eyes, Bai Ying couldn't help but think of what Concubine Zhao had done.
I even had a nightmare one night, dreaming that I had a disagreement with Zhao Guifei because of the black cat, and Zhao Guifei gently said that the black cat would scratch people and let her hand it over to her.
She did the opposite with Concubine Zhao again, refusing to give it alive or dead, and making a bunch of big truths, and then Concubine Zhao couldn't do it, but she still smiled gently and softly, and the laughing Bai Ying was furious.
As soon as Bai Ying turned around, the black cat was caught by her palace maid, plucked and skinned, and Bai Ying woke up in fright.
Although this dream is very unrealistic, Bai Ying is afraid.
She said to Concubine Jing, anyway, she won't go to school, and she won't be in the palace for the time being, so she will stay in the National Teacher Tower obediently, and take advantage of this time to make Sister Qingfeng's talisman.
It wasn't until the county lord of Huaiyang sent a letter to invite Bai Ying Sijilou to get together, that she came out of the room, took a bath, changed into a set of summer clothes, and tidied up and went out.
The sun outside is very poisonous, the ground is dry, and if you don't wear shoes, you feel that your feet will be burned off a layer of skin.
Because Bai Ying didn't go out during this time, Ding and Ding Yuan were sent out by Ding Mao to do things, and Qingfeng didn't worry about Bai Ying going out alone, but she couldn't find a suitable person to follow her for a while, so she had to give up.
The breeze told the white tree to hold an umbrella so that her white and tender skin would not be sunburned. Before going out, I asked if I had any medicine to prevent heatstroke, and I was relieved after checking inside and out.
Bai Ying said weakly: "I just went to the Four Seasons Building to have a cup of tea, not to go far away." ”
Qingfeng also smiled, wanting to touch her head, but he was afraid that the little girl would blow up her hair, so he withdrew his hand, "Go, go, come back early." ”
By the time she arrived at the Four Seasons Building, Bai Ying's back had already covered a thin layer of sweat, and Xiao Er took her to the room that the county lord of Huaiyang said, while the carriage of the National Teacher Tower stayed below to wait for her.
Xiao Er led the way for Bai Ying and went down to get busy, Bai Ying knocked on the door, and almost immediately someone came to open the door.
The maid beside the county lord of Huaiyang owed to Bai Ying, "Bai girl, please." ”
Bai Ying nodded, and when he entered, he saw the county lord of Huaiyang sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea in his hand and drinking it unhurriedly. When she saw Bai Ying coming, she motioned for her to sit quickly, and then asked people to serve some sour plum soup and sweets, and then put down the teacup, stood up and sat down with Bai Ying.
A large plate of ice cubes was placed on a stool about the height of a person, and the white air was bubbling to dispel the stuffiness of the room.
The middle of the table is full of soft and delicious dim sum, as well as the rock sugar gourd that the county lord of Huaiyang sent someone to buy before Bai Ying came, and there is a pot of sour plum soup and a pot of flower tea on the side, the former is for Bai Ying to drink, and the latter is drunk by the county lord of Huaiyang himself.
I have to say that during this time, the county lord of Huaiyang learned a lot from the eldest princess Suhua.
She hadn't been so meticulous before.
The maid beside the county lord of Huaiyang poured a small bowl of sour plum soup for Bai Ying, and the county lord of Huaiyang said, "You taste it, does it taste good?" And he said, "You are weak, and I dare not give you chilled food, and I don't know if the taste will be too bad." ”
Bai Ying picked up the bowl and drank a few sips, the sweet and sour taste made the taste buds feel more pleasant, and she urged: "It is worthy of being the future housewife, and her words and actions are very different from before." ”
The former county lord of Huaiyang, although he was dignified and magnificent, was still a little girl who hadn't grown up. But now it is different, under the teaching of the eldest princess Suhua, she has grown up very fast, and she is a model of a noble lady sitting upright, noble and dignified, and calm.
The county lord of Huaiyang looked at Bai Ying with a smile and said angrily: "Okay, Ah Ying also learned to joke with Yiyi?" ”
"Where do you dare?" Bai Ying repeatedly confessed his mistake, and there was a sly smile in his eyes, "In the future, I have to ask the county lord to reward me with food!" I don't know if my future husband will let me hold on to the county lord. ”
As he spoke, he finally couldn't help but laugh.
The county lord of Huaiyang made a gesture to take away the sugar gourd, "There is really that day, let alone rice, and even a sip of water will be drunk!" ”
"Oh, the county lord is so ruthless!" Bai Ying's eyes widened, snatched the sugar gourd back, and complained, "I said that I was your sweetheart before, but now I changed my words so quickly, I really don't run away." ”
With such a joke, the boredom in the room seems to have been reduced a lot.
The county lord of Huaiyang looked happy, stroked his palms and smiled: "I want to see which of us becomes a negative man first." ”
Then he talked about Bai Ying's evasion of Fu Yunqi.
Bai Ying took a bite of the rock sugar gourd, added the sugar residue at the corner of her lips, and smiled slowly: "I said, why did you ask me out in a good way." ”
