Chapter 34: Refusal
Why does he keep saying words she doesn't understand?
Baili Wu secretly reflected, it seems that she still has less books, and she has to study harder.
"Brother Su, I've never seen such grand fireworks when I'm so old, it's just that all of a sudden, everyone in the city sets off fireworks at the same time."
The brilliant fireworks outside the window ended one after another, and the darkness of the sky returned again, leaving only a few scattered Kong Ming lanterns.
Even the moonlight at this time seems to be much darker.
Su Wuyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, a little rampant, "That's because they set off fireworks from the same family." ”
"The same family?!" Baili couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.
The fireworks in the whole city, how much financial and material resources must be used to support it.
can be so rich, and don't care if it will cause a stir and discussion the next day, and is still very idle, it is estimated that only Su Wuyi is guilty.
He only did this because he asked her "My little sister-in-law likes fireworks" and she replied "yes"?
If he is sincere in treating a person well, would he spoil this person like this?
She finally confirmed, "Yes...... Did Brother Su put it? ”
Su Wuyi gently scraped the bridge of her small and immature nose with the knuckle of her index finger, "Does the little woman like it?" ”
Baili's eyes fluctuated, and the emotions in it couldn't help but leak out, so I heard him say again: "In the future, on the day when the little sister-in-law gets married, Brother Su will set off a bigger fireworks for you." ”
The throbbing traces of joy in his eyes suddenly dissipated, leaving only a moment of emptiness.
When he came back to his senses, he was suddenly worried that the changes in her expressions before and after were not obvious, did Su Wuji notice her abnormality?
At this time, the door of the cabin was pushed open, and the two looked at the same time and saw Ye Liusu walking over with a bowl.
She handed the bowl to Su Wuyi, "Childe, it's time to drink the medicine." ”
He took the bowl, said "thank you," and then looked up and drank the medicine in one gulp.
The bitter taste in his mouth came back to his senses at this time, and swept over the world, making him frown.
As soon as he put down the bowl, he saw two hands stretched out in front of him, one holding a candied fruit in one hand and a toffee in the other.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, then squeezed the hand of the toffee and stepped back.
Suddenly, I felt that my hand was loosened, and the candy was taken, but I didn't eat it, but pinched it in my hand as if playing.
Ye Tassel withdrew his hand a little embarrassed and went to get the empty bowl on the table instead.
But Su Wuyi's faint and calm voice came, "Tassel, how old are you this year?" ”
Ye Liusu was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Nineteen." ”
"Nineteen," Su Wuyi's voice couldn't hear the joy and anger, "It's not too small for you, why haven't you married yet?" Is it because of someone on purpose? ”
Ye Liusu looked a little flustered, "No, no...... The slave family doesn't want to marry yet. ”
Su Wuyi squinted slightly, with a hint of soul-stirring sharpness, "Then do you like me?" ”
Ye Tassel was completely panicked, "Huh? I ......"
Su Wuyi got up, his tall body was shrouded in an incomprehensible coolness, and his words were merciless, "If you like me, I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible." He paused and said, "I can't give you what you want." ”
Ye Tassel's body went limp, staggered back a few steps, and then suddenly turned around, opened the door and ran out.
Baili's face was slightly pale, and her two hands tightly grasped the skirt on her legs, almost trembling.
When Su Wuji turned around, he saw Baili Wu like this.
Su Wuyi raised his eyebrows, "Did it scare you?" ”
The voice has returned to its previous gentle and beautiful sound.
Baili Yu stiffly squeezed out a few words, "Brother Su, you are so fierce." ”
Su Wuyi smiled helplessly, "If Brother Su is not fierce, how can he scare her." I just didn't want to delay her, so that she would break her mind sooner and find her happiness sooner. ”
It turned out to be ...... Such.
It really scared her to death just now!
He could see Ye Tassel's thoughts, but what about hers?
She just handed him candy, will he think the same way?
The longer she stays, the more flaws she will expose. Then he got up and said, "Brother Su, it's not early, I have to go back to the palace." ”
Maybe it was because of the medicine, Su Wuyi's head was a little groggy, and he didn't keep her anymore, "Okay, I'll let someone send you back." ”
"Xiao Yuan, you personally send the Seventh Princess back to the palace."
A person immediately came in from outside the door, it was one of the servants who was in the house just now, he bowed his head and arched his hand, "Yes." ”
Baili Wan waved her hand, "Then Brother Su should rest early, and I will play with you another day." ”
Su Wuyi smiled, sure enough, he was still a child, and nodded: "Okay." ”
Baili got out of the cabin, got off the boat, and when she was about to get to the carriage, a person slowly walked out from behind the carriage.
Baili looked at it, it was the leaf tassel that ran out of the cabin just now.
A trace of doubt flashed in Baili's eyes, and she asked bluntly: "Do you have something to do with me?" ”
Ye Liusu looked at that Xiao Yuan and said, "I'll talk to the Seventh Princess about my daughter's private words, and you go to the distance to stand first." ”
Ohara hesitated, but finally walked away in obedience.
Ye Liusu looked at Baili at this time, and her eyes were a little red and swollen.
"As soon as Su Gongzi was able to reject me, he would also reject the second person, I don't know if the Seventh Princess is among them?"
Ye Tassel's faint voice did not shy away from what he said, and he did not have the previous respect and humility.
Baili Woman's expression was free, "I don't quite understand what Miss Ye means." ”
Ye Tassel laughed lightly twice, "Don't you understand?" It's better not to understand. ”
"Do you know why Su Gongzi came to Kyoto this time?"
Seeing that Baili Wu really showed a slightly surprised expression, she continued with satisfaction: "He came to Kyoto this time because of a taste of medicinal herbs. ”
She slowly spit out a few words, "Heaven-grade Korean ginseng." ”
Korean ginseng is divided into four grades: natural ginseng, ground ginseng, good ginseng, and cut ginseng. And heaven-level ginseng is extremely rare, and there are currently two in the palace.
Ye Tassel exhaled lightly, "I think you already know the purpose of my search for you." ”
"Find a way to get that Korean ginseng. Otherwise, Su Gongzi planned to use his five gold mines to make this deal with the royal family, which would be an irreparable loss for him. ”
"And there are many good medicinal materials in the palace, and there is no shortage of this Korean ginseng. Would you like to watch the man who lit a city for you lose such a huge fortune? ”
Baili was stunned for a moment, and then said in a slightly soft voice: "I'll try." ”
Ye Liusu was obviously not very satisfied with her attitude of trying, but he also knew that he couldn't say too much, so he only said: "Then you try to be as fast as possible, he plans to enter the palace in five days, and there is not much time." If there's anything you need my help with, you can come to me, I'm the acting boss there. ”
The girl's expression was a little cold, not at all like the cute and pitiful appearance in front of Su Wuji, with a calm and intelligent depth, and her speech was also in an undulating tone from the beginning to the present, "I try my best." ”
In the carriage, Baili's head fell into confusion.
Isn't Su Wuyi's friend's illness still healed? And how could she help him?
To steal?
Not to mention that she didn't know where the two heaven-grade Korean ginseng were in the palace, even if she stole them and handed them to him, it would only affect him and steal the things in the palace, which would be a crime of killing his head.
Then you can only outwit.
She bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind.
The next day, Baili went to the imperial study as usual, and Baili was sitting at the desk to review the chapter. Next to him were a pile of recitals that had been reviewed, and some were scattered on the table, which should not have been read yet.
She walked over and arranged the unapproved recitals in order of priority.
In this way, it is much easier to read Baili Huan, and I am not angry because the previous thing is so important, and the next thing is a small thing that is the size of a sesame seed.
The more he went to the back, the more relaxed he became, and Baili finally breathed a sigh of relief and finished all the twists and turns.
"Father, please drink tea."
The girl's soft and glutinous voice sounded extremely well-behaved, which relaxed Bailihe's tense nerves.
Baili took the teacup, only to notice that she wanted to speak and stopped.
He put down the teacup, and although it was only an ordinary action, it was made by him, with supreme majesty and oppression.
But when he spoke, his voice was flat, "What do you have to say?" ”
Baili Wu seemed to struggle for a moment before saying: "I just saw an excerpt from northern Sichuan, which says that the people there refuse to receive the relief food issued by the imperial court, and seeing that there is still a month before this winter passes, will they all starve to death if they don't receive food?" ”
Bai Lihe was also worried about this matter, he just wanted to find someone to discuss, and when he saw that she took the initiative to talk about this topic, he didn't care about her participation in politics.
"It's said that the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and it's really not wrong at all! The imperial court originally had good intentions, and I personally sent the prince of a country to help them, but they were good, not only did they not take the imperial court seriously, but also refused to receive relief food? ”
Baili rubbed his brows angrily and tiredly.
"Then why didn't they get food? If they don't receive food, aren't they afraid of starving their wives and children, parents? How are these people like crazy people? Baili asked suspiciously.
Baili sighed, "The local people rioted, and your crown prince and brother ordered the arrest of some people who took the lead in making trouble, so they refused to receive relief food." ”
Baili Yu paid attention to Baili Huan's expression and said slowly: "I'm afraid...... It's not just about arresting people, right? ”
Baili Huan's deep eyes instantly shot at her like two sharp swords, but she quickly regained her composure, "Take the lead in making trouble, don't take the court in your eyes, what if you kill a few of him." If I had been there, I would have done the same. ”
"Father is right. Anyone who defends the emperor's authority will be severely punished. But father, it's not a way to make trouble like this, northern Sichuan is the territory of our country of Yanyan anyway, do you really have the heart to watch those thousands of people starve to death in the wilderness? Erchen has the courage to give you a suggestion......"
Baili He naturally didn't want this contradiction to become more and more intense, but it was impossible for the imperial court to let go of those who took the lead in making trouble.
He wants to listen to what suggestions the students taught by Song Rui will make.
"You say."
