Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Elders' Conversation

The carriage was gone in the setting sun.

She did not immediately return to King Gong's motorcade, but stood still at the gate of the palace, looking at the carriage that was drifting away.

Is Huizhou really livable?

Bai Ling wasn't really sure, it was just a rumor she had heard after all.

But these palace people are still young, with the recommendation of the palace and a new identity, they can always start a new life.

Even if the war invades in the future, with the convenience of Huizhou's geography, there will always be a way out.

The carriage disappeared around the corner, and Bai Ling once again straightened his clothes and walked steadily towards King Gong.

On the tower of the south gate, Yuan Zhen and Han Chong were standing there.

They watched this scene together, and it was not until Bai Ling also rode away with Prince Gong that Yuan Zhen turned his head.

"Looks like it's time to do it." Yuan Zhen said in a low voice, "Let's confirm it again, Long Live Lord's orders, Lord Han has heard it clearly?" ”

"I hear you." Han Chong replied coldly, "Don't let those four cheap slaves arrive in Huizhou alive." ”

"It doesn't have to be that far." Yuan Zhen glanced at him coldly, "Without further ado." It's been delayed for a long time, and the news has leaked, and you can't afford it. Long live the Lord is anxious to take the lives of these four people, and you will do it when their carriage leaves Pingjing. It's still the old rule, don't leave a flaw, and bring back your left ear afterwards. ”

Looking at Han Chong's muran expression, Yuan Zhen's eyes were a little mean, and he reminded, "Lord Han, don't forget the hour on a whim. ”

"Grandpa Yuan knows me very well." Han Chong slowly turned his head and looked at Yuan Zhen.

Yuan Zhen didn't respond, he looked at Han Chong slightly, and said in a low voice, "Then, our family is waiting for news from Lord Han tonight." ”

With that, Yuan Zhen turned around and left the windy city tower that night.

Han Chong looked expressionlessly at the end of twilight in the south, and let out a low laugh.

……

Tonight's Prince Gong's Mansion is much more lively than usual.

At this time, King Gong and Bai Ling had not returned, and under the Moon Pavilion in the garden to the east, Sun Beiji and Zhang Shouzhong were both wearing regular clothes and sitting at a round table with Bai Shijun.

Outside the Moon Pavilion, Chen Yicong and his friends were by the small pond not far from the pavilion.

The teenagers were very interested in Bai Yi's heroic rescue of beauty that night, but considering Yikang's reputation, Bai Yi kept a straight face from beginning to end, shaking his head into a rattle, and did not reveal a word after all.

Although he was annoyed by Li Fengyu and Zeng Jiuyan's various clichΓ©s, for Bai Yi, it was easier to stay with the teenagers than to sit with his father and those elders.

Under the Moon Pavilion, Zhang Shouzhong was cooking tea.

He himself is very fond of today's gatherings.

Three or five people get together, drink tea and chat, the most chic.

If you want to calculate by official rank, Bai Shijun is the lowest here; But if you count by age, Zhang Shouzhong is the youngest of the three - he also used this as an excuse to retire from the palace and personally cook tea.

Bai Shijun was not good at this kind of occasion, but he didn't expect that under Zhang Shouzhong's perfect conversation, his conversation box would hardly be closed tonight.

His experience of traversing mountains and rivers over the years, the compilation of "A New Treatise on Typhoid Fever", or many interesting stories from Bai Yi and Bai Ling's childhood......

Bai Shijun rarely had the opportunity to talk about this, he was deliberately isolated when he was in the hospital, and in his daily moments, he was not good at drinking, and he was not interested in many crowds, plus he rarely stayed in one place for a year, so in most cases, he only had some gentlemen's friends who did not come and go frequently.

He sometimes wonders if the two children, Bai Ling and Bai Yi, have also been affected by him.

Take Bai Yi as an example, no matter which master he followed as an apprentice or how many companions he met, he was rarely like a child from another family, he took him home for dinner when he met a good friend, and he rarely went to other people's homes as a guest.

In the interaction with others, Bai Yi seems to have been very bland.

Not to mention Boling. There are not so many rules for girls in the countryside, and the big hairy children always get together to play.

Such as turning the flower rope, kicking the shuttlecock, jumping the rubber band...... and so on.

Ke Bailing has always been not interested in these things, but likes to sit at home at a young age, and read with his own literacy - partial students learn very quickly.

Bai Shijun originally thought that she had seen that the boys in the township had a school to go to, so she was envious and wanted to learn, but who knew that after Bai Ling recognized the words, she didn't mention going to school at all, but often used one or two copper plates or some medicinal herbs she picked from the mountains to borrow some various booklets to read.

Occasionally, Bai Ling would come to chat with Bai Shijun about the personnel in the book, and most of the time, she would still go to Bai Yi - between these two children, there always seemed to be endless words.

As for kicking keys and jumping rubber bands with girls of the same age...... Bai Shijun still remembers that Bai Ling, who had not grown to his waist at that time, replied seriously, "Forget it, I won't mess around with these children." ”

"Alas," mentioning the past, Bai Shijun sighed with some emotion, "In short, my two children have been very sensible and very thoughtful since they were children, and they don't have to worry about anything." ”

"No wonder." Sun Beiji, who had been listening silently on the sidelines, interjected rarely, "I see that Bai Siyao and Bai Xiaotai are a bit young and old, and they are originally from a young heart. ”

Hearing that his children were praised, Bai Shijun laughed, and when he was about to be modest, Sun Beiji spoke again, "I heard that before, the Song family had the intention of accepting it, and they didn't invite the matchmaker, so they came to the door directly. So abrupt, the rejection was not to be expected. ”

Zhang Shouzhong shook his head lightly, with a slight smile in his eyes, "How can there be such a courtship, he Song Bozong and his son are really used to it, thinking that everyone in the world will sell him three points of thin noodles, but he bumped into the upright Imperial Doctor Bai." ”

"There is no uprightness, there is no uprightness." Bai Shijun waved his hand again and again, "It's just that such an important decision as marriage is still ...... Talk to your child first. ”

Zhang Shouzhong smiled and didn't say anything, just shook the fair cup in his hand, and filled the cup in front of Sun Beiji and Bai Shijun again.

"I shouldn't have said this," Sun Beiji said softly, he looked at Bai Shijun, who was several rounds younger than himself, with the old man's compassion on his face, "But since Imperial Doctor Bai mentioned it, I still want to say a few words." ”

Bai Shijun looked at Sun Beiji seriously, "Elder Ge, please speak." ”

"It can be seen that Imperial Doctor Bai has always been very obedient and pampered to his children over the years," Sun Beiji said softly, "But in marriage, the relationship between parents is particularly important." ”

Bai Shijun's expression became solemn.

He unconsciously sat upright, waiting for Sun Beiji's next words.
