Chapter 8 Command-based
Bai Shuqin got out of bed and let them serve her and dress. Since Zhuo Jinxuan arranged someone to give it to her, there is no need to use it in vain.
It was already evening, and Qingluan had prepared a meal for her. While eating, she turned her head and asked Qingluan, "Where is the third prince now?" ”
"Back to the third princess, the third prince is in his room, and he should have rested by now." Qingluan Road.
"In the future, just talk to me directly, and don't use all that red tape. I don't like it, and you shouldn't either. She winked at her.
Qingluan paused for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”
After Bai Shuqin was full, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and was about to go out. Qingluan hurriedly caught up and asked, "It's so late, where are the three imperial concubines going?" ”
"Go and thank the third prince for arranging such an excellent person for me." After she finished speaking, she left, and Qingluan hurriedly followed.
Zhuo Jinxuan was just about to rest, his coat had already been taken off, but Bai Shuqin directly pushed the door in. Rao is a man, and he feels a little uncomfortable at the moment, and his temper can't help but come up, she can always easily make him angry.
Zhuo Jinxuan's face was displeased, didn't this woman know that men and women should avoid suspicion? He put on his cloak again and asked her, "Don't you know that you have to knock before you enter?" ”
Bai Shuqin knew that there were many red tapes in ancient times, but it was still difficult for her to get used to them occasionally, so she smiled: "Between husband and wife, and they are not outsiders, do they need to knock on the door first?" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan knew that she was doing it on purpose, this woman's cheeks were not ordinarily thick, so he simply didn't answer her, and just asked, "What's the matter with coming so late?" ”
She looked at Qingluan standing next to her and said, "I'm going to sleep with my husband tonight, do you want to stand here and watch?" ”
Qingluan's face turned red, said goodbye, and closed the door intimately when leaving.
The two of them were the only ones left in the room, and under the flickering light, everything suddenly became ambiguous. Bai Shuqin put his hands on his cheeks and asked him, "Suddenly arranging a maid for me, did you accept your fate?" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan snorted, how could he tell her that he had arranged for him to spy on her. He deliberately said: "I'm afraid that you impostor will cause me trouble." Where have you been these days? ”
Bai Shuqin's brows furrowed, even if he didn't say it, she could guess. However, in addition to being a little troublesome, the existence of these people is not necessarily completely unbeneficial. As for where she has been in the past few days, Nangong Che has already made arrangements for her, so she said calmly: "Seeing that you don't return home every day, I will go to Jing'an Temple to ask for peace for you." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan was skeptical of her words, how could she be kind enough to ask him for peace, he would arrange for someone to go over to investigate the truth.
"In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to go out of the house at will, otherwise you can try." He informed her in a commanding tone.
Bai Shuqin didn't argue with him, whatever he said was what he said, and she wouldn't listen anyway. The breeze blew, and the smell of flowers made her heart ripple, since Bai Bingbing said that she robbed a man, then she really robbed it now.
She walked up to him with a smile, gently untied his clothes with her white hands, and said in an ambiguous tone with a spring on her face: "Husband, let me serve you tonight." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan was so frightened that he took a step back, what did this woman want to do? He said to her with a little anger: "Don't fight bad ideas! ”
Bai Shuqin shrugged, even if this was a bad idea, wasn't it a woman who suffered? She continued to step forward and approach him: "Is my husband still afraid that I will be forced to do it?" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he couldn't show weakness: "You have to have that ability!" ”
Bai Shuqin smiled playfully: "I really have this ability, do you want to try?" ”
Bai Shuqin's breath brushed his face like the fragrance of wine, and he seemed to be a little drunk in a trance.
The scar on her forehead was even more obvious under the light, and thinking of her previous experience, Zhuo Jinxuan felt a little distressed. As if his body was sent by a ghost, he reached out and stroked her scar, his eyes were concerned: "Does it hurt?" ”
Bai Shuqin remembered the way Zhuo Jinxuan used to laugh at her before, and slapped his hand away in disgust: "Don't be pretty! You and the raccoon dog of the white bet and the same hill, making fun of other people's appearances, really do it! ”
Before Zhuo Jinxuan could react, Bai Shuqin had already left in a huff.
If he had heard her say that before, he would have taught her a good lesson. It's just that when he knows her background and the origin of the scar, he will even feel sorry for her and want to make up for the damage she has suffered.
Bai Shuqin returned to the room and calmed down after a while. The reaction just now was completely subconscious, and she could feel how disgusted she was with what had just happened.
She shook her head and smiled bitterly, what kind of pain did Bai Shuqin endure back then to be able to control this body until now.
Or maybe she is not just her at this moment, but just symbiotic with the real Bai Shuqin.
She poured herself a cup of tea, and the icy tea went down her throat, and the bitter taste made her sober a lot.
Now she wants to start with Zhuo Jinxuan, I'm afraid she can't do it, and if she wants to gain a firm foothold in this mansion, she can only find another way.
In the past few days, Bai Shuqin has been mingling with his subordinates to learn about the various systems in the mansion and what they have in mind.
Zhuo Jinxuan is not going to Baifu these days, and he will come back on time every morning after the pilgrimage. 、
As soon as Zhuo Jinxuan came back that day, Bai Shuqin went out to greet him and poured him a cup of hot tea for him.
Zhuo Jinxuan took the tea and took a sip of tea: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." What do you want to do, say it! ”
Of course, Bai Shuqin had something to ask him, otherwise how could this be. She smiled: "I see that the weather has been good recently, and the flowers are blooming outside, how about organizing a spring outing in our house?" ”
"You can do this kind of trivial thing without asking me."
"Didn't my husband say last time that if you want to leave the house, you must report it in advance? What's more, this time I want the whole house to go out together. And there's..."
Although he knew that she was not an ordinary person, her innocent expression was always very deceptive, Zhuo Jinxuan put down the teacup and looked at her: "Say it." ”
"I don't have any money!" After Bai Shuqin finished speaking, he bit his lip and looked at him pitifully.
Zhuo Jinxuan almost laughed out loud, looking at her serious face, he quickly put away his smile: "What is this?" Let Steward Li handle it. ”
How could she give such a good opportunity to Steward Li, seeing that Zhuo Jinxuan was in a good mood, she immediately made another request: "This is my idea, I will do it myself." ”
If he didn't agree to this kind of trivial matter, wouldn't it seem that he was too lacking, he nodded: "Yes, you are fully responsible for everything, and the money will be withdrawn from Steward Li." ”
"Xie Fujun!" She smiled sweetly.
In the evening, Steward Li told Zhuo Jinxuan that Bai Shuqin had withdrawn four hundred taels of silver from him, the male servants had each been given two taels of silver, and the maids had been given three taels each, and everyone was allowed to take a half-day off to go out to buy supplies needed for the spring outing.
Zhuo Jinxuan was very puzzled by this: "Why are there three maids and two male servants?" ”
Steward Li said: "The three princesses said that girls love beauty, and the extra one or two are for them to go out and buy some rouge jewelry and clothes." ”
"She's thoughtful." Zhuo Jinxuan couldn't see that Bai Shuqin was so careful.
Steward Li observed Zhuo Jinxuan's face: "Also, the third imperial concubine said that this spring outing is scheduled for three days later. Each person prepares their own things, and there is no need to prepare them for others, including the Three Princes. ”
Zhuo Jinxuan didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "You tell the third imperial concubine that since she is the wife I am marrying, let her prepare it with me." ”
In the huge study, Zhuo Jinxuan looked serious and flipped through the piles of letters on the table. The wind outside moved, and Aomine, who was dressed in black civilian clothes, was kneeling in front of him.
Qingfeng was ordered by Zhuo Jinxuan to go to Jing'an Temple to investigate Bai Shuqin, and the abbot of Jing'an Temple confirmed that she had indeed prayed in the temple a few days ago, and other monks could also testify.
Zhuo Jinxuan listened to him, still flipped through the documents in his hand, and said to him for a long time: "You go to Steward Li to receive two taels of silver, and you will be careful to hide your identity when you go on this trip." ”
Qingfeng took the order to retreat, Zhuo Jinxuan closed the document, although the investigation results were not abnormal, he was still full of suspicion of Bai Shuqin. There are too many irrational things about her, and the more normal everything is, the more suspicious it is.
Bai Shuqin has completely lost the coldness she had when she first came at this time, and she is now very interested in everything in the house. Since she doesn't put on a show, the people in the house are also willing to contact her. Especially the benefits given to them this time make them happy.
In the past two days, the house was very lively, men and women took leave to go out to buy, and the most discussed thing they discussed was what good things they went out to buy.
Bai Shuqin saw that Qingluan was still serving her as usual every day, and the matter of going out seemed to have nothing to do with her, so he asked her, "Don't you go out with them?" ”
Qingluan said calmly: "The slave has nothing to buy. ”
Bai Shuqin knew in her heart that Zhuo Ye ordered her to monitor her, and she naturally focused on orders. She didn't have much thought about anything else. Her current appearance reminded her that during her mission, she had to be more vigilant if she encountered various activities, and how could she have fun.
Bai Shuqin didn't say anything, turned around and went to Steward Li to withdraw two hundred taels of silver, and asked Qingluan to accompany her out.
Qingluan always remembered Zhuo Jinxuan's instructions, and reminded her when she saw that she was going out of the house: "Third Imperial Princess, the Third Prince has orders, if you want to go out, you must inform him first." ”
Bai Shuqin naturally didn't like to be controlled too much by others, so naturally it was impossible to do what he said, so he ignored it and walked directly outside the house. Although Qingluan was in a hurry, she knew that she couldn't stop her, and seeing that she had gone away, she reluctantly followed.
The capital is indeed prosperous, and the streets are full of people. Bai Shuqin took Qingluan to the largest cloth shop in the capital, and as soon as he entered, he greeted them and served them the new spring tea on the market this year.
Bai Shuqin was not polite, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and sure enough, it was a good tea leaf, and his mouth was fragrant. She put down the teacup and said to the little servant, "Bring me all your best fabrics." ”
Seeing that she was dressed well, the little maid didn't dare to slack off, and after a while, she let people take out ten pieces of fabric. Different colors and different patterns, without exception, are good fabrics.
Bai Shuqin stood up and looked at it carefully, then picked up the sample cloth and put it next to Qingluan's face to compare the colors. Qingluan's skin is not fair, and if the color is not well controlled, her face will appear dull.
Pink was black, goose yellow was not suitable, and after a few comparisons, she settled on a cloth with emerald green and white orchid embroidery.
Seeing her repeatedly looking at the fabric in her hand, the little girl smiled all over her face: "Miss has a good eye, this cloth is dyed by the most skilled master in our cloth workshop, and it will not fade if it is kept!" ”
Bai Shuqin was not interested in the words of the little girl, and she could see it if she could see it. She asked Qingluan's opinion, and Qingluan thought she was buying for herself, so she said that it was all right.
A piece of fabric costs fifty taels, and Bai Shuqin didn't bargain, so he paid directly and asked people to measure the size of Qingluan. Qingluan only knew at this time that she was buying for herself, and hurriedly excused herself: "Imperial concubine, it's too precious, Qingluan deserves it." ”
"Women have to be kind to themselves, you deserve it." She laughed.
