Chapter 94: Cleared
The weather in the courtyard is good, and the peach blossoms are also blooming, Zhuo Jinxuan looked at Bai Bingbing, "It's always in the house, it's inevitable that you will feel bored, go outside for a walk!" ”
Bai Bingbin nodded, the two came outside, and passed by the stone bridge where Bai Shuqin fell into the river on the day, Zhuo Jinxuan involuntarily stopped.
Bai Bingbin also stopped following him, stood by the bridge and looked at the free fish swimming in the river, and said with emotion: "Even the fish are in pairs, Brother Jinxuan, why are you so ruthless?" ”
"Penang, I can't give you the happiness you want. Dragging you will only hurt you. Zhuo Jinxuan said from the bottom of his heart.
"How do you know what happiness I want? What I want is to marry you and be by your side, even if I don't have a name, I'm willing! This is my happiness! Tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.
Zhuo Jinxuan's heart was full of self-blame, "Bingbing, I'm sorry, I can't give it to you!" ”
Bai Bingbin bit his lip and raised his head to prevent the tears from falling. With this appearance, Zhuo Jinxuan regretted his behavior even more.
"Brother Jinxuan, it's really unfair for you to treat me like this." Bai Bingbing had tears in his eyes, obviously his heart was extremely painful, but he still looked at Zhuo Jinxuan with a smile.
Zhuo Jinxuan didn't know what to say, he did owe Bai Bing too much, no matter what, he was a thin lover here in Bai Bingbing.
"Penang, how can I make up for what I owe you?" Zhuo Jinxuan sighed heavily.
"If you really want to compensate me, let me compete fairly with Bai Shuqin!" Bai Bingbin raised her face, she didn't want to give up Zhuo Jinxuan like this.
"How can such a thing as feelings be fair competition?" Zhuo Jinxuan was a little embarrassed, this was just a prolonged time of pain for Bai Bingbing.
Bai Bingbin interrupted him, "Yes! I only need two months, and after two months, if you still insist on marrying only Bai Shuqin, I have nothing to say. ”
Zhuo Jinxuan didn't know if this was Bai Bingbin's obsession, but he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it again, so he agreed: "Okay, just two months!" ”
Bai Bingbin laughed happily, she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled sweetly at Zhuo Jinxuan, "Thank you, Brother Jinxuan!" In the past two months, you can't deliberately avoid me and ignore me! ”
Her innocent smile made Zhuo Jinxuan's face soften, and he nodded at her with a smile, "Well, listen to you." ”
Until Bai Shuqin left the capital of Zhao State, Han Yu did not appear again, and at the same time, the soulless did not appear either. This is a good thing for Bai Shuqin, solving two troubles at once.
Bai Shuqin thought that Nangong Che had a mission to come to Zhao State, and who knew that he would return to the capital with them.
"Are you here to save me?" Bai Shuqin lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked Nangong Che next to the carriage.
Nangong Che rode a horse, turned his head to look at her, and said expressionlessly: "If you think like this, it's okay." ”
Bai Shuqin pouted, she didn't want to take care of herself, in case he doubled and asked her to repay it in the future, it would be more than worth the loss. "I'm a woman, how can I have the charm to bother our Lord Nangong to dispatch!"
"That's not necessarily, if you agree to my proposal yesterday, the sword mountain and the sea of fire can also go for you." Nangong Che looked at her with a smile.
Bai Shuqin only felt goosebumps on her body fall to the ground, she really didn't know which tendon Nangong Che was wrong, probably just his joke.
"Where can I compare to Chu Qiao, I won't wronged you!" Bai Shuqin smiled and lowered the curtain in his hand.
Fortunately, Zhuo Linfeng was resting with his eyes closed, if he heard it, and then it entered Zhuo Linfeng's ears, I was afraid that this vinegar jar would have to overturn the house at that time.
Before leaving, Bai Shuqin instructed Du Zijun to collect the matter of buying and selling official positions in the imperial examination, and only after many inquiries these days did he find a few officials who handled this matter. However, although these officials are not as high and powerful as Bai Shao'an, their official positions are not low.
Du Zijun looked at the list given to him by the person on the table, these people he would definitely not be able to reach.
Just when he was at a loss, Xu Fei suggested: "We can start from the inside!" ”
"Internal?" Du Zijun's head was full of question marks, "We can't even enter the gate of their mansion, even if we do, their mansion is so big, who knows where the evidence of buying and selling official positions is?" ”
Xu Fei smiled proudly, "Since ancient times, money can make ghosts grind, they can buy and sell official positions, and we can also buy manpower." ”
"You mean, bribe the people in their house and let them do things for us?" Du Zijun laughed evilly, "I didn't expect you kid to be so bad!" ”
Just do it, Du Zijun found someone to contact one of the servants in Li Qinglian's mansion who was involved in buying and selling official positions, and wanted to buy them through money.
However, the imagination is beautiful, the reality is cruel, and those domestic servants with a little power regard him as a madman. And those low-level families, even if they give money, eighty percent of them are in vain.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, thinking about it, Du Zijun thinks that he should go undercover in person.
He changed into a coarse cloth clothes, pretended to be pitiful, and wandered back and forth at the back door of Li Qinglian's mansion, looking at the gate from time to time.
Du Zijun's strange behavior attracted the attention of the family in Li Qinglian's mansion, and the family told the housekeeper about the matter.
It wasn't until the evening that the housekeeper finally sent a housekeeper out to ask Du Zijun: "I see that you have been wandering here for a day, is there something wrong, or are you looking for someone?" ”
Du Zijun raised his head sadly, "My lord, I am Zhao Ercai's nephew." A few days ago, both my father and mother died. Before I died, let me come to my uncle Zhao Ercai. Can you tell him about it? ”
Jia Ding hadn't heard of Zhao Ercai, but he hadn't been here for a long time, and the people in the house didn't recognize him, and they didn't dare to send him away casually. He thought about it, "You wait here, I'll go back and ask them if anyone knows Zhao Ercai." ”
"Thank you, sir!" Du Zijun bowed his hand.
Jia Ding smiled embarrassedly, "I'm just a sweeper, not an adult, just call me Gao Fu." ”
As soon as Gao Fu turned around, Du Zijun showed a triumphant smile.
In fact, this Zhao Ercai is just a name he made up casually, there is no such person at all, and he just needs to say that he remembered wrong, and beg to go in with a dead face.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Gao Fu to hurriedly climb out and say to Du Zijun apologetically: "There is no such person as Zhao Ercai in our house, is your father and mother mistaken?" ”
"How so? Are you sure? Du Zijun asked in disbelief.
Gao Fu was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he asked several times, and indeed no one had ever heard of Zhao Ercai's name. He nodded, "Think about it, did you remember the wrong name?" ”
"How could I be mistaken, I'm just this uncle!" Du Zijun squatted on the ground in despair, buried his head in his arms, and made a crying sound.
Gao Fu looked at him like this, and felt a little unbearable, so he bent down and patted Du Zijun's shoulder, "Brother, don't feel uncomfortable." Maybe your uncle has changed his name, so look elsewhere! ”
Du Zijun wiped away his tears, stood up from the ground, held Gao Fu's shoulders with both hands, and snorted with tears, "Brother Fu, I don't have a penny on me, I'm desperate, please take me in!" I'm willing to do anything! ”
Gao Fu leaned back, keeping a certain distance from Du Zijun, his face full of embarrassment. "I'm just a sweeper, I can't help you if I want to!"
"Brother Fu, please, I'll kneel down for you!" Du Zijun said that he was about to kneel down for Gao Fu.
Gao Fu was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped him, "I can't help it, I can't help it!" If you're like this, I'll lose my life! Well, I'll ask our butler for you. If he doesn't want you, I can't do anything about it! ”
Du Zijun cried gratefully and said, "Brother Fu, your great kindness and great virtue must be remembered by my Zhao De." ”
"Don't thank me yet, I'll go in and ask you."
Du Zijun wiped his tears, fortunately, this Gao Fu is not very kind-hearted, otherwise he would definitely have to kneel for others. The man has gold under his knees, and it doesn't matter if he kneels, but if he doesn't give money, he will lose a lot.
Gao Fu found the housekeeper in Li Qinglian's mansion, told him about Du Zijun, and asked him if he could let Du Zijun stay, just do an errand.
"Go and tell him that there is still one night left in our house, and if he wants to do it, he can stay, and if he doesn't want to, he can leave." The butler flicked his sleeves and said to Gao Fu.
The night envoy is specially responsible for pouring night incense in the house, this kind of work is only done by those old men who are too old to find other errands on weekdays, Gao Fu knew that the housekeeper was deliberately making things difficult, and wanted Du Zijun to leave by himself, but he still went to convey the housekeeper's meaning to Du Zijun.
When Du Zijun heard it, the expression on his face was like eating. However, in order to penetrate the interior and obtain information, he gritted his teeth, "Yes, thank you Brother Fu!" ”
"Don't thank me, it's all up to the housekeeper. Come in with me! Gao Fu said to him.
Du Zijun followed Gao Fu into Li Qinglian's mansion, in order to be able to get evidence of Li Qinglian's official position, he really let go this time.
Zhuo Jinxuan received a letter from Bai Shuqin, they had already set off from Zhao State, and if nothing happened, they would be able to arrive in the capital in two days.
Zhuo Jinxuan, who should have been very happy, was faintly worried in his heart at this moment, if Bai Shuqin knew about his promise to compete with Bai Bin, he didn't know how he would react.
Zhuo Jinxuan shook his head helplessly, what he caused by himself could only grieve Bai Shuqin for some time. But after two months, the white will be gone completely.
Bai Shuqin sneezed, she rubbed her nose, it's almost March of Yangchun, is it possible that she still has a cold? She stretched out her hand in front of Beizhu, "Beizhu, help me take a pulse." ”
"yes, okay." Beizhu put the medical skills in his hand on the side of the chair and helped Bai Shuqin take the pulse, and after a while, "Sister Bai, you are in good health!" ”
Bai Shuqin retracted his hand with confidence, probably because of the catkins outside.
Getting closer and closer to the capital, Beizhu was excitedly lying on the window and stuck outside, Bai Shuqin couldn't help but quip: "Are you going to see Du Zijun soon, and you can't sit still with excitement?" ”
Beizhu blushed, lowered his head and didn't speak, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.
Near noon, Bai Shuqin and the others finally entered the capital.
"Second brother, wait for me, I'll go back directly with Beizhu. What about you? Do you go back to the house first, or go to the palace to report the situation to your father? Bai Shuqin asked Zhuo Linfeng, who was silent along the way.
Zhuo Linfeng smiled at her, he was physically and mentally exhausted during this trip, "I won't enter the palace today, and I will enter the palace tomorrow to report to my father." ”
Bai Shuqin was not worried that Zhuo Linfeng would leak her affairs to the emperor, not to mention that the emperor should have known her whereabouts through Nangong Che.
"Then we'll go down here!" Bai Shuqin said, if you go to the city again, it is not easy to explain if you are seen.
Zhuo Linfeng nodded, and when he saw that Bai Shuqin was about to open the curtain, he spoke again: "This time, thank you very much." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back alive. ”
"Second brother, what are you talking about! You have your own natural appearance, and you will live a hundred years! Bai Shuqin smiled at him, turned around and opened the curtain, and said to Qingfeng, who was driving: "Just stop here!" ”
