In the middle of June, the sky is still clear, and in the second half of the month, the black clouds roll over the sky, the rain is sprinkled like soybeans, and the sky and the earth are chaotic in the blink of an eye, and there are occasional stops, and it is only half a day's work. Until the early morning of the first day of the seventh month, the rain cleared, the sky was blue, and the sun shone on the earth.

Good news came from Longyou, the rebels lost one after another, Uncle Yang and the eldest prince Liu Xu retreated to Lintao County, in a dilemma, and because of the lack of food and grass, the soldiers were struggling, and decided to break the kettle and fight to the death.

Liu Dawu got the news in advance, and personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack at night, ordering the burning of the enemy's barracks and their grain and grass, and the only few thousand truckloads of grain left by the rebels ??, instantly turned into ashes. When Uncle Yang heard the news, he was terrified, his military heart was fluctuating, most of the deserters were deserted, and he was angry and considered himself a defeated general, and apologized for his guilt in front of the eldest prince Liu Xu.

The next day, the eldest prince Liu Xu raised a white flag and threw himself into the city under heavy siege.

When the news reached Luoyang, Liu Dawu was detaining the rebel leader Liu Xu and had already arrived in Tianshui.

The Lin Mansion in Sweet Water Lane is full of people, and there is an endless stream of people who come to congratulate them, and it is difficult for the Lin family to keep a low profile. Even with the descendants of the Lin family, there are all kinds of people who come to curry favor with Bajie!

Bai Cui, as the porter's mother-in-law, naturally had the most people who came to talk to her, and she saw a lot of smiling faces, and she was also coaxed a little fluttery.

"You dead girl, how many times have I told you, how much success you can have in the future with the third lady, the eldest lady is now preparing to get married, and she is choosing a room to accompany you, if you follow the eldest lady to the general's mansion, maybe you can still mix with an aunt's wife." Bai Cui poked Ruyi's head fiercely.

Ruyi was so ashamed that her neck was red, glanced at her mother, stomped her feet and said: "What nonsense is A-Niang, grandpa asked us to do a good job, and we will be able to get rid of slavery by the end of the year, you let me follow the eldest lady to accompany the room, the eldest lady may not be able to look down on it, we don't need to rush to dislike people." ”

Bai Cui didn't mean it, pouted and persuaded: "I'm also for your good, it's not necessarily a good thing to get rid of slavery, we don't have relatives to protect us in Luoyang, and we don't have any money to rely on." When the time comes, you can only go back to your hometown in Taiyuan, if you go back with you, you can only marry a rough man in the countryside, how can you go to the general's mansion to be an aunt's wife! ”

Ruyi was choked by her mother's aunt's wife, ashamed and ashamed, and said: "I think A-Niang is crazy, if you don't eliminate this thought, I will tell grandpa about the good things you have done, don't forget the last time you took your wife back to the house to see the fourth lady." ”

Bai Cui rushed a few steps when she heard this, quickly covered her mouth, looked left and right, the courtyard was very quiet, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "What are you yelling at, and you are not afraid of recruiting people, you damn girl, and you are still fighting with me, who am I doing this for?" It's not for your good, a woman's lifelong event is a lifetime, and it's better to marry well than to vote well......"

Ruyi was distraught when she heard this, put aside her hand, and went into the inner courtyard, leaving the hysterical old lady standing in the gatehouse and furious.

How could Bai Cui die lightly, and secretly went back to persuade his father-in-law, after all, there was a chance to climb the General's Mansion, which was a blessing for several lifetimes.

On the head of righteousness, a sneaky figure swayed outside the door.

"What the hell!" Bai Cui had already walked out first, and asked crisply.

I saw a woman wearing a hood, stopped to look at her, pointed to the alley next to her, and left without saying a word.

"Who? Pretend to be a ghost! Bai Cui frowned and said in a low voice.

But he couldn't resist the drive of curiosity, and heeled up.

"I said, what are you doing with you? This is the Lin Mansion, believe it or not, as long as I shout, someone will come out immediately. ”

The woman standing in the alley stopped, lifted the corner of her hat, and a deep gaze appeared through the gap.

Bai Cui was stunned, thinking that the matter was over, but she didn't expect that she didn't even hide this time, but came directly to the door, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, thinking that she would leave after saying a few words hastily.

"Are you missing Miss Fourth again? Don't worry, Miss Fourth is fine, and in a few days, the eldest lady will take Miss Third and Miss Fourth to live in Beijing! The fourth lady is happy, she has been busy learning color matching these days......"

Without waiting for Bai Cui to finish speaking, Zhou Ximei smiled and said: "You send me with nice words, since I dare to come, I must meet you, as for you to bring people out, or find a way to take me in, you can do it yourself." ”

Bai Cui hesitated this time, if she was caught, it would really be useless for Ruyi to do the thing of accompanying the room, and she was a little embarrassed: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that last time Mama Jiang seemed to find something, so she didn't let me approach the inner courtyard anymore, I ...... I really can't help you, you better go find someone else. ”

After Bai Cui finished speaking, she trembled and wanted to turn around and leave.

didn't think about it, but Zhou Ximei laughed loudly: "You don't know me, since you have the courage to calculate Lin Mei's head, I don't believe that you really have no way at all." ”

"You're spewing blood!" Bai Cui was furious, "When did I calculate the eldest lady?" I think you're crazy...... "But she shouted in her heart, "It's over, it's over", and she let her eavesdrop on it.

thought that Zhou Ximei would quarrel in person, but she didn't want to, she slowly walked towards Bai Cui.

"You, what do you want to drive......" Bai Cui said weakly.

……

At this time, Sixi happened to come back from the restaurant, and saw that the porter was unguarded, but the door was half open, and he couldn't help but think of Mama Jiang's words, and shouted at the top of his voice: "People murmur, where did you go?" ”

Unfortunately, no one responded.

She was immediately a little displeased, and closed the door with her hand.

But I have a heart in my heart.

First, I recruited a little girl from the outer courtyard and sent the food box brought back from the restaurant to the kitchen, and then waited on the bench in the gatehouse.

She wanted to see what tricks the surnamed Bai was playing.

This sitting is enough to wait for a cup of tea.

Bai Cui hurriedly returned to the house in three steps and step by step, only to see that the door was closed, and he couldn't help but be anxious, "It's over, it's over, this matter is dead." Hurriedly grabbed the knocker and banged, already thinking of an excuse in his heart.

Sixi listened to the knocking sound, but did not rush to open the door, but glanced through the crack in the door, confirmed that it was Bai Cui, this slowly opened the door, and said confidently: "Aunt Bai is using the Lin Mansion as a vegetable market, come and leave if you want to, if you don't look down on the errand of this gatehouse, when the eldest lady comes back, I will go to make a call for you, lest you be in Cao Ying's heart in Han." ”

Bai Cui was startled, and hurriedly pulled her with a smiling face, and said good words: "Miss Sixi, Miss Sixi is angry, I'm not back!" Miss Sixi went around me this time, I know it's wrong, don't take it as an example, give me another chance. ”

"Then tell me, what did you do just now?"

Bai Cui naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, and said hesitantly to see the liveliness of the neighborhood.

Sixi frowned, looking at the expression, obviously not believing what she said.

Bai Cui gritted his teeth, thinking about the rumors from Zhou's mansion a few days ago, and said straightly: "It can be said that Master Zhou next door has brought a few good-looking little guys back these days, and Mrs. Zhou has made a fuss for some reason. I couldn't hold back my curiosity......"

The latter words were not finished, but Sixi had already understood.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were open, and many prime ministers' mansions were opened...... For a long time, men rubbed fat and powder, and good masculinity became a strange symbol of elegance. Later, Emperor Jing ascended the throne and the Xiang Mansion was banned, but this matter told a big girl in Sixi, and Sixi was so embarrassed that his face was dripping blood!
