Chapter 840: Two Roads

I finally went to see Bai Changjian's father, speaking of his father, that is a very small character, his name is Bai Ruyu, is the prime minister of the previous dynasty, when he was extremely glorious, unspeakably expensive, a daughter married the first emperor as a concubine, a daughter married to the king of Chu as a concubine, the two most powerful men in the world became his son-in-law, and then the first emperor died, the king of Chu was in power, his daughter became the queen, he should have become the abbot, but unfortunately, he was not the biological father of the queen's sister, and was the enemy of the king of Chu that year, after the king of Chu ascended the throne, The first thing is to exile the Bai family, so in my opinion, this is a very contradictory thing, the Bai family is exiled, but a son and a daughter of the Bai family are noble and glorious, no one can match, I thought about it for a long time to understand, the root of everything is still the queen's sister, the person who is good to the queen's sister, the emperor naturally looks down on him, and the person who is not good to the queen's sister is unforgivable, so Bai Changjian is the only person in the Bai family who is good to the queen's sister, I think, maybe since then, he has already liked the queen's sister.

I know what it's like to have a crush, just like me to him, which will subtly penetrate into the bone marrow little by little over time, turning into a deep attachment.

Bai Changjian's mother is Mrs. Bai Ruyu, but after the death of the eldest lady, she was helped, I heard that because of Bai Changjian's relationship, she could stay in the capital, but she insisted on going into exile with her husband, so Bai Ruyu was moved and helped her to be a wife.

She was very cautious and polite to me, and when she spoke, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and did not dare to look me directly.

I didn't call them fathers and mothers with Bai Changjian, their identities were there, so they naturally didn't say anything, and politely called me the county lord. Bai Changjian was a little surprised, and looked at me frequently, as if he blamed me for not understanding etiquette.

I seldom look at him these days, and I don't see him when I see it, so I leave after a meal.

After a nap in the afternoon, I took the snail to the lake to go boating, in fact, I wanted to pick the lotus canopy, and I had to find something to do to keep myself from thinking cranky.

Xiao Luo looked at the subordinate of the stern pole, and stopped talking, surrounded by dense lotus leaves, very shady, and the sunlight occasionally leaked in a little bit, bright and dazzling.

I asked the man who was holding the pole, "Do you know how to swim?" ”

He was a little smug and teased, "The slave can swim to the shore in one breath under the water." ”

I said, "Well, you can swim to shore now." ”

He was a little dumbfounded, "County Lord, I'm swimming away, who will support you in the boat......"

I raised my eyelids, "Xiaoluo and I will row the boat back, you don't have to worry, go down." ”

I rarely put the county lord's score, but occasionally sinking his face, there is still a little bit of majesty, so he didn't say much, Ma jumped into the water, I watched him gradually swim away, I don't know if Bai Changjian will know about this matter?

Xiao Luo was about to suffocate, and hurriedly asked me, "County Lord, what happened to the bottom?" Why did you go back to your backyard on candle night? Do you have a cave with General Bai? Did General Bai offend you, and why did the minions think that your attitude towards General Bai was different from before? ”

I smiled bitterly, "It's different, it can't be the same, Xiaoluo, do you think I'm stupid?" ”

"The county lord is not stupid, the county lord is just simple."

I peeled the lotus seeds and stuffed them into my mouth, "Isn't it the same meaning to be simple and stupid?" ”

Xiao Luo was a little anxious, and asked, "Why did General Bai offend you?" ”

I peeled a few and handed them to her, "Do you think Bai Changjian likes me?" ”

"Of course I like it, otherwise how could General Bai propose to the emperor in public?"

"So what did he like about me? Looks? Family? Learned? Dignified and elegant? ”

Xiaoluo was dumbfounded, I know that none of this has anything to do with me, a poor sour little girl in a poor sour alley, what virtue does she have, she can marry the emperor's uncle, General Youdian Yuan!

In the end, Xiao Luo snorted and said, "The slave thinks that the general and the county lord are in love for a long time, and the general is not a superficial person, and he doesn't care about those false names and external things." ”

"Do you fall in love over time?" I sneered: "It's all me pestering him, when did he take the initiative against me?" ”

"Good men are afraid of entanglement, so General Bai surrendered."

"It's not like that," I hesitated, but said that I needed someone to take care of it, or I would have to suffocate myself.

Xiao Luo's mouth opened wide, his eyes were about to pop out, he looked at me in horror, and said half-loudly: "What does the county lord mean, the general likes the queen's mother?" ”

I nodded affirmatively.

"They are brother and sister, even if they are not related by blood, they can grow up together since childhood, how can General Bai have such a mind, isn't this unusual?"

I said indignantly, "That's why he's perverted." ”

Xiaoluo agreed with my conclusion and stuffed a lotus seed into his mouth, "It's really perverted." ”

Next, we were all silent, each lowered his head and peeled the lotus seeds, one by one into the mouth, the small snail is afraid of bitterness, eating lotus seeds likes to pick out the lotus heart, I just the opposite, the whole piece is thrown into the mouth, I like the bitter taste of the idea, it is very in line with my state of mind, but the sadness is getting heavier and heavier, I feel far from enough, simply collect the lotus heart picked out by the small snail together, all stuffed into the mouth, bite down, the mouth is full of bitterness, even the breath is bitter.

It was too late for Xiao Luo to stop it, she looked at me worriedly, "County Lord, what now?" ”

"Two ways," I said as I chewed, "so self-deception, accepting myself as a stand-in, living a life of drunken dreams and death." Or, cut through the mess quickly, pull out early, and start over. ”

"Which one will the county lord choose?"

I swallowed my lotus heart and said bitterly, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"Is the county lord still very nostalgic for General Bai?"

I didn't say a word, I picked a huge round lotus canopy and began to peel lotus seeds, and after a while I said, "For him, I really gave up everything, but in the end it was just the moon in the water, the flowers in the mirror, everything was an illusion." ”

Xiao Luo tilted his head to look at me, "Sure enough, setbacks can make people mature, and the county lord's speech has become crepe." ”

"Xiaoluo, you can give me an idea."

Xiao Luo thought for a while, "I think the county lord should choose the first path, no matter who General Bai likes, he just needs to be good to you anyway." You just pretend to be confused, so that you can live happily ever after for a long time. ”

I put it another way, "If it were you, what would you choose?" ”

Xiao Luo immediately raised his eyebrows, "If it were me, I would beat that turtle grandson first, and then pack up his baggage and leave, this kind of stinky man, he deserves that he can't even get a stand-in." ”

It's really a word to wake up the person in the dream, I suddenly opened my mouth, yes, why am I alone and complaining, I should let Bai Changjian not even get a stand-in!

I said to the snail, "Row the boat back, I know how to do it." ”
