Bai Heran really didn't expect that the current Mrs. Meng would be the stepfamily, after all, judging from the nature of Master Meng's wife and slave, it was completely impossible to see that Mrs. Meng was the steproom.

An Lan said: "The lord had a lady in the main room before, but the old lady gave it by force, and the two had never even met before they got married, so they couldn't talk about whether they liked it or not. These slaves and maids also heard from the people in the house later, saying that the lady in front of her was very domineering, and after marrying, she not only did not filial piety to her mother-in-law, but also called the master casually. At home, she has the final say, but when she goes outside, she still doesn't save face for the master, and often counts the master in front of many outsiders, and sometimes scolds him. The current lady is the sister of a good friend of the master, she is a very good person, sometimes the old man is bullied by the first lady, so he goes to the old friend's house to sit down, complains about the grievances, and meets the current wife, she will comfort a few words. ”

Bai Crane Ran understood, "So, after coming and going, the master got together with his friend's sister?" She was puzzled, "My friend's sister is also a childhood sweetheart, why aren't they together?" And let the domineering girl take the lead? ”

An Lan sighed and kept shaking her head, "A person like the master, even if he has no relationship with the first lady, he will not think about others anymore." As for him and his first wife, they are indeed childhood sweethearts, but the old lady doesn't like the current one, so she directly beat the mandarin duck back then. The reason why I was with the current lady again was because the first lady was indecent and angry with the old lady. The old man was furious and wanted to divorce his wife, but she said that she was pregnant. The old man had no choice but to swallow this breath and continue to raise her. Fortunately, the wicked have their own harvest, and later she had a difficult birth, and it was not possible to give birth to the eldest lady. There is no old lady in the family, and the old man really can't help a child who is not full moon. It was the current lady who ignored the gossip of outsiders, resolutely walked into the Meng Mansion, and raised the child by her side. So the eldest lady was taken by the current lady until she was almost two years old, and the lord married her. ”

Bai Jinghong sighed when he heard it, "It's really a good story, although Master Meng's previous life was a little harder, but fortunately, he is a person with good fortune, and Mrs. Meng can be regarded as having won happiness by herself." ”

An Lan nodded, "Yes, everyone in the mansion likes the current lady, and everyone often says that if the current lady entered the mansion in the first place, the old lady would not have passed away so early." But this is all indefinite, after all, the old lady especially disliked the current lady, maybe even if the current lady enters the house, the old lady will not feel good. ”

Bai Heran also sighed when he heard it, "It is said that creation makes people, but it is really creation." ”

"Not really!" An Lan said, "Madame has a special love for the eldest lady, and she did not hide the matter of the eldest lady's biological mother, but she did not deliberately scandalize the woman, but to be honest, the eldest lady gradually became more acceptable." Although Mrs. Xian is not good, Mrs. Xian's maiden family is still good, and the eldest lady's maternal grandfather and grandmother are still there, but they moved away from Kyoto and returned to their hometown in Xianyucheng. The eldest lady has to go once or twice a year, even if it is to visit relatives, in fact, the eldest lady is willing to run out, she herself said that riding a horse all the way from Fengxiang to Xianyu is very enjoyable. Unexpectedly, something happened last time......"

An Lan couldn't go on, so she reached out and tested the temperature of the water, "Girl, the water is a little cold, get up!" ”

Bai Heran stood up from the water, Bai Jinghong took the initiative to come over to help her dress, and she said to An Lan: "This is my maid Jing'er, and she also followed me all the way to Fengxiang, please help her prepare water for bathing!" ”

An Lan responded: "That's nature. Looking at Bai Jinghong again, he couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Jing'er is really good-looking, and this kind of appearance is rare in Fengxiang City." I have entered the palace and seen the ladies in the palace from afar, none of them are as good as the appearance of Miss Jing'er. She paused at this point and reminded solemnly, "Please also ask Miss Jing'er not to go out as much as possible, your appearance can easily cause unnecessary trouble." Although we are not afraid of trouble, you ...... after all."

"I understand." Bai Jinghong took over the words, "After all, I am not from the Meng Mansion, I just came here temporarily with my girl, and the Meng family has no reason to do anything because of my business." I will remember the girl's words, usually try not to go out as much as possible, I really must go out, and I will also remember to blacken my face and never cause trouble to the Meng family. ”

An Lan was relieved at this time, and saw that Bai Heran had already put on her clothes, so she took Bai Jinghong to the maid's room to bathe and change clothes.

Finally, she was left alone in the house, and Hakuzuran made room to take a good look at the room.

At this glance, I found that Meng Shuhe's room was really not small, with a hall in the outer room, a study in the hall, and a toilet and a washing area next to the study. There is a couch by the window, and the maid who keeps vigil can sleep here.

The inner room is also spacious, there are three cabinets for clothes, and although the dresser is not as good as the one made for her by the overseer of Jun Murin's Mansion in the Princess Mansion of Tianci Town, it is also much more gorgeous than the one she used in the Wenguo Mansion. In addition to a bronze mirror inlaid with precious stones, there are several boxes on it, which contain some beads, precious stones and jade, all of which are made into exquisite jewelry.

These things were obviously purchased by the Meng Mansion for the eldest lady, but the eldest lady didn't seem to like it very much, because the things looked brand new and obviously hadn't been used much.

She remembered what An Lan said, the eldest lady likes to ride, and there are more riding clothes than skirts. Riding a carriage is generally simple, presumably because these things are verbose and unwilling to wear them.

She sat down at the dressing table and looked at her face in the bronze mirror. Thanks to her appearance, she looks a little more like Chun Yulan, with a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and obvious exotic features, so there is no sense of disobedience when she comes to Gebu. Unlike Bai Jinghong, a typical Central Plains person, even An Lan's girl had to remind her that she couldn't go out of the house at will.

She didn't plan to let Bai Jinghong go out of the house alone, she didn't come to Fengxiang City to go shopping and have fun, the top priority was to inquire about the whereabouts of the four princes as soon as possible, whether it was to save people or disrupt the situation of the Gebu Dynasty, she always had to meet with the four princes first.

But where is this man to be found? Gobu Palace?

Bai Heran pondered for a while, thinking that this was indeed a way, because Bai Jinghong said that Gebu's death row was in the palace, and since the four princes were coming for the people on death row, the first thing must be to find a way to sneak into the palace first. It seems that if she wants to find someone, she has to enter the palace. However, the problem of entering the city has just been solved, how to enter the palace?

More than half an hour later, Bai Jinghong came back, changed the clothes of the people in the house, and the clothes that he had changed before were still in his hands, and after closing the door, he said to Bai Heran: "I will wash this clothes tomorrow, the material of this clothes is poor, it is not conspicuous, and we still have to wear it if we leave Mengfu in the future." Ah Ran, why are you sitting here at the dressing table, aren't you sleepy? ”

Bai Heran was removing his hair in front of the mirror, and Bai Jinghong took over the job very naturally, so that she was stunned, "Big sister, saying that you are my maid is just following the Meng family to push the boat, you don't really have to do these things for me." ”

"If you want to call me big sister again, don't say such things to me." Bai Jinghong's hand did not stop, although she looked a little clumsy, but she was also very serious about smoothing her hair little by little. "What's wrong with my sister combing my sister's hair? Isn't that the most common in ordinary people? I, the elder sister, have taken advantage of the Bai family for more than ten years, and I haven't had time to repay, and I have already ended up in such a field. This is the opportunity you gave me, otherwise I can only continue to be at the mercy of that Lin Hansheng, compared to that, it is already a fairy day. ”

Bai Heran didn't say anything, and sat silently and asked Bai Jinghong to smooth her hair.

Bai Jinghong had something to say, she asked Bai Heran: "What are we going to do next?" You can't hide in the Meng Mansion all the time. Aren't you looking for the Fourth Highness? Where to look? ”

Hakuzeran told her, "I'm afraid I'm going to go to the Gobu Palace to find someone." If my guess is correct, His Royal Highness should have entered the palace by this time, but I don't know how he entered the palace and in what capacity, so even if I can sneak into the palace, a huge palace, without a goal, it will be difficult to find him in a short time. ”

Bai Jinghong took a deep breath, "It's not just difficult, it's too difficult." In a place like Gebu, there is not much serious ability, but he specializes in studying those crooked ways. For example, the Lin family's Gu technique, such as hexagram technique, and some strange poisons, strange insects, and even strange beasts, they all like to study. When I was in the palace, I saw a wolf raised by the king, and the wolf followed him from the palace to the palace for more than ten years, during which he bit many people to death, but the king just did not give up on it. ”

"Wolves?" Bai He smiled, "The wolf is full of beastliness, and he still holds grudges and doesn't recognize his relatives." Even if you raise it from a young age, it is still difficult to develop a relationship with it. What are you doing with that thing? ”

"Hell knows, maybe it's just because it's funny." Bai Jinghong told her, "You can't use common sense to infer that the monarch of Gebu, let me tell you, people who have problems in that area are more or less psychologically distorted. So what he does has always been distorted, and his temper is short-tempered, and he doesn't know when he suddenly gets angry and wants to kill someone. The wolf was very tall, almost up to the waist of an adult, and its head was white fur, and it was unusually fierce. I heard that it would wander around the palace at night, and if it found any abnormal movement, it would definitely go there, and over the past ten years, many assassins have been bitten to death by it. ”

Bai Jinghong's words made her think of her own clouded leopard, and she didn't know who could have the upper hand against the wolf that the clouded leopard fed by her blood. However, as soon as Bai Jinghong said this, she became interested in the wolf, "Why don't I try my luck one day, in case I meet that wolf, and then take it for my own use, maybe clean up that pure and proud, we don't have to do it ourselves." ”

Bai Jinghong was startled and was about to persuade her, when he heard a low cry from the courtyard......
