Chapter 58 The so-called borrowing situation
Bai Jing knew that Bai Heng was a brother and sister of the Wei family who were deliberately approaching, although this method was not very bright, and it was inevitable to live up to the sincere friendship of her friends, but she could understand it best as a child of the Bai family.
It is difficult for the young lady in Shangshu Mansion to get ahead, and it is even more difficult for him, the young master. The eyes of the mansion are all focused on the young master Bai Qi, who is both civil and military, if he doesn't borrow the momentum outside, who can notice him?
Bai Heng loved her and matched her with the county lord of Qinglong.
While Bai Jing was grateful for Wei Li's love, she could also see her daughter's thoughts, but she didn't think that her second brother would know it.
She couldn't help but feel weak.
Seeing that her face was not good, the lord of Qinglong County thought that the other party was unwell, and said nervously and guiltily: "Sister Jinghao, I shouldn't have come to disturb you knowing that you are sick, why don't you go back and lie down?" ”
Bai Jinghao hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, I'm already much better." ”
The county lord of Qinglong bowed his head at this time, and said slowly: "I met the brother of the Bai family in my brother's study last night, and when I saw his sad face, I learned that my sister was sick at home. I know that your brother and sister have a good relationship, and only your affairs will he always think about it, so I asked a few questions. ”
"With my illness, apart from my family, only the county lord came to see me." Bai Jinghao moved to sit beside her, held her hand and thanked her sincerely: "I'm very happy that you can come." ”
"Actually, I should have come to see you. Autumn is crisp, if it was normal, I would have asked a few like-minded sisters to get together to play, but the previous events made me feel uneasy, and even my mother told me not to invite friends to the door at will, lest there be any accidents. When she mentioned this, she frowned.
Bai Jing couldn't help asking: "I've been sick for a while, I've been groggy every day, and I haven't inquired, I don't know what happened?" ”
"It's because I can't stand up for Sister Qi Nian, and I can't stand up for her."
The county lord of Qinglong had red eyes, "The Cheng family has already buried Sister Qinian, but it was just an accident, and there was no in-depth investigation." ”
Bai Jing nodded, he should have expected it.
"Actually, I've been to the East Palace, but Brother Taisun has just been questioned by his mother and concubine, and he has been punished for thinking, and I haven't seen anyone. However, even if I met him, it was useless, he could not admit it. ”
After the Qinglong County Lord finished speaking, he continued: "Also, this incident happened in our house, and in order to compensate the Cheng family, the family gave my second sister to the third young master of the Cheng family. ”
Wei Yi, the daughter of the head of the Guogong Mansion, is allowed to marry to the son of the imperial doctor, and she is not the eldest son, this marriage is really low.
Bai Jing was surprised, but she was not qualified to ask about this kind of thing.
The county lord of Qinglong hadn't seen her for a long time, so he stayed in Baifu for lunch.
After the meal, the maid in the Yanque Building in the front yard came over with a few books and said respectfully: "Miss, the second young master said that the book he promised to find you has been found, and the slave and maid will send it." ”
She hugged her tightly, as if she was protecting her baby, and didn't let go until she got closer.
Bai Jing was so unbelievable, she couldn't understand when she asked her second brother to find what book, so she just took it quietly.
Take a closer look, but they are all popular books outside, a copy of "The Biography of Hibiscus", and a set of "Strange Records", a total of four volumes.
What did the second brother do when he gave these books to himself?
I'm afraid that her recuperation is too boring, so she is sending it to pass the time?
Before she could come up with a reason, the county lord of Qinglong next to her said excitedly: "Hey, is it "Weird Strange Record"? I just read the first volume of this book, and I sent someone to look outside for a long time but didn't find the middle volume and the next volume, but I didn't expect my sister to have it. ”
Bai Jinghao saw her eyes shining staring at the book in her hand, and instantly understood.
"Sister Jinghao, it turns out that you also like to read these folk stories! I've been confined to my house lately, and I've relied on these to relieve my boredom, can you lend me this set of books when you're done? ”
The county lord of Qinglong approached her and added, "I'll exchange other words with you." ”
Bai Jinghao usually looks at these, not to mention that the old lady doesn't like it in the first place. But he understood the second brother's thoughts, so he directly handed over the three books, "The county lord will read it first, I'm not in a hurry." ”
The county lord of Qinglong didn't push with her, and said excitedly: "Thank you, sister." ”
Bai Jing shook the last book in his hand, and asked again: "This biography of Hibiscus, if the county lord needs it, take it back together." ”
"I've seen this, sister, keep it, and when I get home, I'll have someone send you my treasure." She made a serious promise.
Bai Jing is so ridiculous.
The next day, the county lord of Qinglong came again, holding the book he had borrowed from her.
After she entered the mansion, she did not go to see Mrs. Bai first as she did yesterday, but arrived at Pinmeixuan with a familiar car.
Seeing her coming in a hurry, Bai Jinghao was surprised, "The county lord finished reading the book so quickly?" I said I didn't have to rush to pay it back. ”
The county lord of Qinglong looked at her intently and asked, "I came yesterday, why didn't you tell me?" ”
"What?" Bai Jinghao's face was confused.
The county lord of Qinglong stepped forward, took out a few notes from the book and handed them to the other party, and said, "You are not simply sick at all. If you just catch the wind and cold in the season, how can you use these antidote recipes? ”
Bai Jing spread it out, and it was really some antidote.
The residual poison in her body had already been cleared by Imperial Doctor Yuan's several doses. What I am taking now is just a tonic to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the yuan.
The second brother actually found so many prescriptions for her?
She doesn't need it anymore, that's for people to see.
Bai Jinghao sighed secretly, it turned out that this was what the second brother said, and she thought that she just wanted to have a close relationship with the county lord of Qinglong, so as to improve her status in the mansion.
"It's not a big deal, Lang Zhong in the medicine hall grabbed the wrong medicine, and I took it by mistake."
Seeing what she said lightly, the lord of Qinglong County said angrily and unevenly: "I have inquired, Jing Zhaoyin took over a case a few days ago, and Song Langzhong in Jirentang is the usual Langzhong of your family, but he was escorted by someone from the Marquis Zongyu Mansion. ”
Bai Jinghao didn't want her to stand up for herself, seeing that the other party was so angry for herself, she was only ashamed in her heart, "At that time, the old lady of the Qin family happened to come to visit my eldest lady in the mansion. ”
"Sister Jinghao, it's not that simple, is it?"
The county lord of Qinglong threw the words in his hand, sat down and said angrily: "I really made friends with my sister, I thought that my sister also regarded me as her sister, and the sisters should have nothing to talk about." But I didn't know that you were suffering such calculations at home, and if I hadn't happened to find these antidote prescriptions from your second brother's book, I wouldn't have known that my friend was being bullied in her own house!
I can't do anything about Sister Qi Nian, but I can't help but ask about you, who doesn't know that Zhu Zhaoyin has a close relationship with the Qin family, and the people of the Hou Mansion sent Lang Zhong who harmed you, I don't need to send anyone to inquire about it, I know what's wrong here! ”
"Sister Qinglong, the matter has passed, and my old lady has been angry for me."
The county lord of Qinglong frowned, and affirmed: "I don't believe it. As he spoke, he stood up and was about to walk out, "I'm going to visit your mother-in-law." ”
She is a person of temperament, Bai Jing saw this, and hurriedly grabbed her: "Good sister, I know that you are thinking about me, but this is a family matter of the Bai family after all." Even if you are the daughter of the princess and princess of Chengguo, you can't control this mansion, I am wronged, and the elders of my own family are in charge. ”
"Why can't I care? This is murder! The lord of Qinglong County said in a high-pitched tone, "Killing people pays for their lives, it is a matter of course, how can she not follow this principle if she is the wife of an official family?" ”
Bai Jinghao persuaded: "County Lord, Jingzhao Yin Mansion has closed the case!" What's more, the eldest lady of my family is the aunt wife of the Qin family, have you forgotten what kind of family the Marquis Zongyu Mansion is? There is no need for the county lord to offend people for me, I am already very happy that you can think about me like this, really. ”
Her eyes were warm, and she was really moved.
The county lord of Qinglong thought of the Qin family, the East Palace, and then his mother, and finally quieted down weakly, so he could only sit back in place with her.
"It's useless, my mother warned me not to do anything that endangers the East Palace, Sister Qi Nian's thing is not allowed, and I can't do anything about you." The county lord of Qinglong seemed to have been drained of all his strength, helpless and depressed.
Bai Jing smiled lightly, and slowly analyzed the benefits and disadvantages with her: "Now that my old lady is personally presiding over the feed, the eldest lady has no housekeeping power, and it is not as good as before, not to mention that I will be careful." County lord, you dissipate your anger, this is a scandal of the Bai family after all, I still have to gain a foothold in this mansion, if you make such a big move to make decisions for me, how will I face the family of the mansion in the future? ”
The county lord of Qinglong is a straight man, Rao is Bai Jing said a lot of truths, but he still felt puzzled, and beckoned the attendant beside him to whisper quietly.
She refused to tell Bai Jinghao, but not long after she left the house, the Wei family ordered someone to bring exquisite snacks to the ladies of the Bai family.
Then, at dawn the next day, Bai Jing was having breakfast in the house, and heard that the second lady in the orchid garden was sick.
