Chapter 56: Knowing (4000+)
In the past few days, Su Man accompanied Song Ci to almost all the shops that could be visited in the capital, and bought a lot of rouge, gouache, hairpins, hairpins, and fashionable ready-to-wear fabrics.
Several times in the night, Su Man didn't wait for Ji Yechen, who came over the cornice, and was so tired that he fell asleep directly. Sometimes I finally waited until the other party didn't say a word, and I closed my eyes.
"Why am I the one who has sinned against you?"
"Ah Chen, we have something to say, it's easy to say" Bai Qirui gently removed the other party's hand holding his shirt with his hand, smiled awkwardly and said twice, "Will we all be a family in the future, cousin-in-law"
The cousin-in-law heard Ji Yechen's whole body comfortably, and he didn't want to look at the other party's cheap face
In the past two days, Pei Yu accompanied Pei Shaoqing to entertain the envoys of the tribute clan, and was not affected by his mother being sent to his hometown Zhuangzi to recuperate. Pei Yuqing tore her face with her mother-in-law so much this time, listing her mother's evil deeds for so many years, mutilating concubines, heirs, and all kinds of human and material evidence. If it weren't for the Shaoqing lord who was in Pei's mansion, it was this lady who funded the entrance examination to fame, and whether this mother-in-law could live at this time is still two words.
Although this is a housework of their Pei Mansion, and they hide it well, there is no impermeable wall in the world. It will have some impact on Pei Yu's future career, you and I both know his temperament, I have already used it for Xiaoman to chase the wind, and the lightning has no skills and experience in chasing the wind. See for yourself! ”
"Hmm!"
Listening to Bai Qirui's wilting voice, Ji Yechen raised his eyebrows vigilantly and said, "What's your situation?" Don't you care about Siying's affairs anymore? ”
"How is that possible!" Bai Qirui instinctively retorted, he said with some frustration, "There is such a big thing happening in Qingqing's mansion, she would rather ask Su Man for help than never say a word to me."
Obviously I've always been by her side, why doesn't she trust me but trusts your family. ”
"That's my family's Xiaoman has more personality charm than you, and as far as your past style is concerned, no one is worried about entrusting things to you. That is, we have known each other for more than ten years before we know that you are a guy who can be entrusted with important tasks. ”
"But I have also had a friendship with Siying for nearly ten years, and in her eyes, I should be a very trustworthy person. Why she never mentioned it in the letter, it is clear that she has been planning for this for a long time. Why did she have to carry it silently alone, and she didn't even mention it to me. ”
Seeing Bai Qirui sighing with a sigh on his face, Ji Yechen didn't want to pay attention to him, but he thought of something and coughed slightly, "Do you know that your mother has been to my Xuanping Marquis Mansion?" ”
"Well, my mother and my father said that they were going to visit your grandmother, saying that it was rare for the elders who watched her grow up when she was a child to return to Beijing to fulfill their filial piety."
"Is your mother on good terms with your brother-in-law? She seems to have a great admiration for your cousin with my grandmother. ”
Hearing this, Bai Qirui's eyes dimmed slightly, although his mother was very good to him here, he always felt that there was not much warmth in his mother's eyes when she looked at him. On the contrary, the other party looked at the silent cousin with a loving look in his eyes.
"I left Dali for 12 years, and my mother found a cousin of the same age as me in the palace as me, and raised him by my side to comfort my mother-son relationship.
"Oh, that's right." Ji Yechen couldn't describe the strange feeling, and always felt that this Dingxi princess's behavior was a little weird. But he has never received normal maternal love, and he doesn't know how normal mothers and children get along.
"I'm fine, so I'll go first!"
"That, Ah Chen," Bai Qirui frowned slightly, shouted at the other party and asked, "That...... The girl surnamed Li is now ...... Are you alright? ”
"Do you have a troubled conscience?" Ji Yechen sneered at the other party slightly, and said, "Xiao Man said that guy has already left Beijing for Wujin, and he won't come back in a short time." ”
"Why?"
"I can't remember clearly, it seems that a relative over there is sick, and he used to serve the decoction."
"Oh! That's it! ”
Bai Qirui didn't know how to describe that feeling, and he had dreamed of Li Yuanfang's expression that day for several nights in a row. The look of disappointment to despair in the other party's eyes, the sadness of holding back tears, and the sentence "I will never see you again".
Obviously, that guy is a peaceful person who looks cold on the surface, but in fact he is a bad guy who will fight back more violently and never admit defeat after being bullied by himself. That reaction was a bit of a surprise to him.
"It can't be that guy who likes me too, right?"
Bai Qirui muttered to himself, and then felt unlikely. Even if the other party may really have a spring heart, Song Ci's slap can definitely make the other party sober up. It's just that Bai Chery doesn't know why he feels a little astringent in his heart.
In fact, Bai Qirui has been waiting for this time, but the other party has no reaction at all, so he was worried for a while, thinking that this guy was holding back a big move to repair himself. It's just that half a month has passed, and I heard from Su Man a few days ago that that guy seems to have left Beijing. Is it true that you don't want to see yourself again?
It's just that in the days that followed, Bai Qirui always looked at a stone bench in the courtyard of Baicao Garden, intentionally or unintentionally, in a daze. I had never cared about it before, because the guy just sat there quietly every time without talking to them, quietly reading and drinking tea alone, as if he had lived in this yard in the first place. And they're just busy guys here, which makes people annoyed, so even if there is a truce with the other party, they will still secretly make trouble. It's just that that guy can always fight back at the first time, and the two have changed from fighting on the surface to fighting in the dark.
To be honest, Bai Qirui even misses Li Yuanfang a little, he thinks it should be because he has not been able to attack Siying, so he should not play such a role-playing anymore, and he should express his mind early.
"Qingqing, I want to take you somewhere in the afternoon, can you?"
"Is there anything important about Brother Bai?" Pei Yuqing rarely saw Bai Qirui's serious and solemn expression.
"Please leave Shen Shi to me."
"Good!"
Then Pei Yuqing saw Bai Qirui disappear into Baicaotang like a happy rabbit, and she shook her head helplessly. I have been busy with the affairs of Pei Mansion and the medical hall before, and I didn't care too much about the interpersonal relationships around me.
Pei Yuqing didn't know Bai Qirui's emotions at first, this guy kept saying that Ji Yechen was good in front of her. At that time, the younger sister shouted herself, and then gradually the other party began to follow Su Man and shout at her, Qingqing seemed to want to distinguish herself from other girls intentionally or unintentionally.
Later, the other party saved him many times, and even in Pei's mansion, he arranged for himself a kung fu maid and a secret guard to protect himself. It must be false to say that he is not moved, only Pei Yuqing found that the attitude and tone that the other party sometimes revealed every time he communicated with her did not seem to be communicating with her.
She was a smart girl, and she had directly asked Bai Qirui if she had mistaken herself for someone else. It's just that the other party's attitude is very intriguing, and now Pei Yuqing has found some explanations for her mother, but her father's attitude makes her feel cold. But it's okay, she didn't want to stay here for long, she can do what she wants to do with peace of mind, Master will go to Lingnan to collect medicine this time, she wants to wait with her, it is estimated that there will be two or three years.
Before that, in addition to asking Xiaoman to say goodbye, she also wanted to sort out those chaotic feelings.
In the Xixia Pavilion of Shenshi on this day, Bai Qirui scratched his head like a white peacock with the screen open, and tried his best to show his erudition. chatting with Pei Yuqing all over the world, amusing each other, an hour passed quickly.
The bright sun in the sky also fell on the mountainside, and the colorful glow in the distant sky was very colorful, Siying mentioned to him that her friend and the person she described were all coming on the colorful clouds.
Today, her cuckoo came over on the colorful clouds. Originally, Bai Qirui felt that he should be looking forward to this moment the most, but there was always a faint alienation when he looked at Pei Yuqing in front of him. Looking at the brilliant sky, the other party didn't have any special reaction, which made him a little disappointed.
"Qingqing, I'...... I...... That one...... That ......" Bai Qirui pinched the fan and couldn't speak for a long time. It turned out that Pei Yuqing, who was facing Siying's identity, was so clumsy.
"Brother Bai, I have something to tell you"
"You say it first, you say it first" Bai Qirui wiped the thin sweat from the corner of his forehead slightly, he felt that he was ridiculously nervous at the moment. It's just that Li Yuanfang, who was dressed as a pink flower fairy that day, suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was also sitting here reading a book, like a painting. In fact, the guy's movements at that time looked very awkward, very different from her loose appearance in the past, but a little similar to him now. Bai Chery didn't notice that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"In two days, I will leave Beijing with Master and go to Lingnan to practice medicine and collect medicine."
"What?"
"If you want to study medical science, then go to Senior Brother Mo, you don't have to go to Baicaotang to find me."
"Who wants to learn medical science from that guy, no, who wants to study medical science, don't you really know my intentions?"
"Brother Bai, in fact, I think it's better to make some things clearer." Pei Yuqing pursed her lips slightly, the other party is her life-saving benefactor and Xiaoman's cousin, but emotional matters should not be like this.
"I have never had a male or female affection for you, only gratitude. Thank you very much for taking special care of me over the years. Thank you very much for your wrong love for Yuqing, but the relationship between men and women is still very pleasing to each other. I am immoral and incompetent to accept your love like this, and I ask you not to waste time on me in the future. ”
"How can it be a waste of time, Qingqing I like you, everything I do for you is willing, and I enjoy it. No one knows you better than I do, no one likes you more than I do, why don't you give me a chance? ”
"Brother Bai, are you sure you understand me?"
"Naturally, we have been communicating hearts and minds for so many years, how could I not understand you. You are actually a woman who looks independent but needs love very much, you use your strength to disguise not to let others see your longing for your loved ones, your sadness to endure alone, and only rely on your own efforts to live. Such a woman is distressing, but it makes me fall in love, in fact, aren't we each other's shoulders in loneliness? No one is better than us, is there? ”
Pei Yuqing looked at Bai Qirui looking at her and seemed to be looking at another person, and frowned slightly
"I was really sad after my mother died, but I put all my grief away because I had more important things to look up and do. So until I'm done with what I'm supposed to do, I'm not going to fall in love with anyone, and I'm not going to communicate with anyone. So, Brother Bai, are you sure that the person you are talking about is me? ”
"Qingqing, have you really never been tempted by me at all? I even dismissed all the concubines in the palace for you, in fact, I have always had no real name with them. But I really like you and want to marry you. I'm really serious, I'm messing around a little bit on weekdays, I'll change it in the future for you, really, do you believe me? ”
Looking at the other party's serious and unbelievable appearance, Pei Yuqing pursed her lips and nodded ruthlessly, "I have never been tempted." ”
"And what about the cuckoo? What about your feelings for cuckoos? This seems to be Bai Chery's last bargaining chip.
“...... Cuckoo? ”
Seeing the blankness in the other party's eyes, Bai Qirui knew that he should have caused a big disaster this time. His body looked at the other party with some trembling, and his voice trembled a little
"Qingqing, do you know Siying?"
Hearing this, Pei Yuqing shook her head, she looked at Bai Qirui in front of her, the blood on her face disappeared in an instant, and the other party sat directly on the stone bench as if she had lost her soul. Pei Yuqing asked a little worriedly at this time, "Are you okay?" ”
Bai Qirui shook his head almost instinctively, the soft fan in his hand also fell to the ground, he covered his face with his hands, and had a bad prediction in his mind. All the memories were connected in my mind, the leisurely place to rest described in Si Yingxin.
Yard full of medicinal scents and rosemary, peaceful but cosy place.
Her best friend is smart but confused, but she is happy for the other person, and the friend did not miss her hit in the end.
......
Everything seems to be able to be combined with another person, but he has never equated the other party with Siying. In fact, recalling that my fate with her is obviously so deep, so many mutual ties. Thinking of that day, she made an appointment with the other party, but let her wait here alone for so long without showing up, and she was tired and infected with wind and cold, and was seriously ill and bedridden for many days.
It's just that the other party's illness happened to happen, and she asked another friend to cut off her relationship. Bai Chery really doesn't know what he did? Li Yuanfang's sad eyes at that time...... She probably knew she was a cuckoo, right?
Bai Qirui's mind was blank, and he sent Pei Yuqing back to Baicaotang, and then hurriedly went to Su Mansion to find Su Man.
"Scum, I don't want to see you, fuck off!"
"I confessed to Qingqing today"
"Yo, just look at your face and know that my family Qingqing flew you, you deserve it!" Su Man looked at the other party's desperate expression with interest, and felt a little more relaxed.
"She's not Siying, do you know who Siying is?"
“......”
"Li Yuanfang is Siying, right? She ......"
Before Bai Qirui's words were finished, Su Man jumped up directly and punched him in the face.
"Hiss~~" But Su Man gasped first and said, "Scum, your skin is really thick enough!" Someone! ”
Su Man shouted towards the mansion, and several of Su Cheng's guards with him immediately rushed out and stood behind Su Man to wait for the dispatch.
"Beat me to the point that this scum is invisible, hit me! Hit hard! ”
In the end, the guards who had been on the battlefield beat Bai Qirui more than he took in half a cup of tea. Su Man stepped forward to take a look at it and said slightly coldly
"Find someone to throw him back into his golden cage"
Su Man was just about to leave, but his heel was pulled by the other party, and Bai Qirui asked weakly, "Does she know..... Do you know?"
"She doesn't know, and she doesn't need to know who you scumbag is. If you still have a conscience, you should keep your distance from her and stop disturbing her. ”
"I don't know...... It's good if I don't know."
Looking at Bai Qirui's happy face, Su Man suddenly felt that he was lying as if he had helped the other party. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she knew Yuan Fang, and the other party definitely didn't want Bai Qirui to know that she knew the identity of the other party.
But the more Su Man thought about it, the more angry she became, she turned around and kicked Bai Qirui in the chest on the ground again. The other party was directly kicked and vomited blood.
Just a moment later, Bai Qirui got up on his own and left the gate of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion tremblingly.
I've been trying hard to be the one who can protect Siying, and I've always been bullying Siying. He Bai Qirui is really a scumbag, he just hopes that the trustworthy cuckoo in the other party's heart is still a person worthy of her trust.
"What just happened out there?"
"Back to Mrs., it was Bai Shizi who came to Miss to ask some questions, and then was seriously injured by Miss, and now he has gone back."
