Chapter 42: Meeting with Li Ran
What happened in the flower hall in the evening had spread unconsciously throughout the entire Bai Mansion, and people like Cai Sang who deliberately paid attention to the news had already known about it.
Sure enough, as soon as the white frost came back, Cai Sang was also surprised to see the swollen wound on the white frost frost's face: "Why is it so swollen?" Cuihuan, go get some cold water and some medicine. Cai Sang instructed Cuihuan to help Bai Shuang to sit down in the hall and check on her injuries.
Bai Shuangshuang smiled: "I think this slap is worth it." She said to Chun Tao: "Didn't that Dongmei slap you?" Now I gave her twenty boards, I feel comfortable, right? ”
Chun Tao was helping on the side, and couldn't help but mutter: "Miss, you can't do such a thing in the future." How can a subordinate like Dongmei be worth folding yourself into. ”
Bai Shuangshuang shook her head: "Dongmei is just handy, originally she just wanted to teach the Zheng family a lesson." But since you can't knock her down at once, it's good to be able to clean up Dongmei. Bai Shuangshuang took Chun Tao's hand and said with relief: "Don't worry about Mama Liu's affairs, there is already a way." ”
Chun Tao was moved in her heart, but she still had to force herself to show an unhappy expression: "The little one is not worried." The little one is just angry, and the big lady doesn't take care of yourself. ”
Cai Sang originally heard some news, and now listening to the small talk between Bai Shuangshuang and Chun Tao, I also know about the things in the flower hall. Feeling that this matter, Bai Shuangshuang didn't mind that he knew, and was very moved. She asked Bai Shuangshuang: "But Miss, this time you made Mrs. suffer a loss, but you gave her the opportunity to let Dongmei be a substitute for the dead ghost, in case the master was coaxed by Mrs. in two days, wouldn't it be ...... Coming for your troubles again? ”
White Frost Frost let Chun Tao put a cold towel on his face, and said comfortably: "I don't doubt that the Zheng family can coax him at all, but today I have already sown the seeds, and they will sprout sooner or later." ”
"Seeds?"
"My father, although he has no ability, but he has a very good face, he heard the words of Zheng with his own ears today, but he couldn't attack because of the relationship with Taiwei Zheng. Even if the Zheng clan coaxed him, the gap between them already existed. In the future, as long as there is a small contradiction, this gap will highlight its role. ”
Cai Sang nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "After you leave today, the second lady came over and sat for a while." ”
"Oh? What did she say? ”
"I didn't say anything, I saw that you didn't come back for a long time, just sat for a while and left."
Bai Shuangshuang thinks that she and Bai Mingzhu are not the same person, but she can always catch what Bai Mingzhu is thinking. She guessed that Bai Mingzhu was a little unbalanced in her heart, and wanted to come over to find the bad luck of the people in Qinyuan, but in this Qinyuan, Liuli was from the Zheng family, Cuihuan deliberately avoided it, and Caisang knew the rules, of course, she could only go home.
Bai Shuangshuang smiled contemptuously: "Leave her alone. Then he instructed Chun Tao: "Tomorrow, you ask Liu Cheng to help me deliver a post to Admiral Li's mansion and invite Li Ran to come over as a guest." ”
"Yes, Miss."
In her previous life, after Bai Shuangshuang married into the Cheng family, she had the opportunity to meet Li Ran, and at that time she knew that when she was still in the boudoir, Li Ran's posts to the Bai family were all lost, even if Li Ran came to Bai Mansion in person, she could only see Zheng, and the reason given by Zheng was that Bai Shuangshuang was seriously ill and bedridden, and it was inconvenient to see guests.
It's different now, she doesn't believe it, after today's incident in the flower hall, there are still people who dare to stop her from seeing the people that Baishuangshuang wants to see.
But White Frost never expected that this time, she still miscalculated.
Liu Cheng went to the Admiral's Mansion and came back to pay tribute to Bai Shuangshuang, but the result was: Miss Li was unwell and it was inconvenient to go out to meet guests.
According to Liu Cheng, the concierge of the Admiral's Mansion immediately said that Li Ran was unwell and didn't even post after hearing Liu Cheng's self-report, which was more like the Admiral's Mansion was unwilling to let Li Ran come to see Baishuangshuang.
Bai Shuangshuang felt strange, thinking that her relationship with Li Ran was not a secret, even if she didn't want Li Ran to see her, she didn't even need to answer the post, right? It's like settling the relationship.
Bai Shuangshuang's first reaction was that Bai Zhengzhong and the Zheng family had offended Lord Admiral and his wife, but he thought that with Bai Zhengzhong's official position, it was estimated that he would not have the opportunity to contact this kind of first-class official. She thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong, so she asked Liu Cheng to go out to inquire.
However, this time Liu Cheng hadn't come back yet, and the concierge came to spread the word, saying that Miss Li, the daughter of the Admiral, had asked Baishuangshuang to come to Heyue Tower to talk about it.
Bai Shuangshuang is now in the limelight in Baifu, and the Zheng family has just been lectured by Bai Zhengzhong, where do the concierges dare to make small moves, they immediately notified Bai Shuangshuang.
Bai Shuangshuang took the note and looked at it, and after confirming that it was indeed Li Ran's handwriting, he called Cai Sang and Chun Tao to arrange for the sedan chair to go out.
When Bai Shuang arrived at the private room of Heyue Building, Li Ran seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and as soon as he saw Bai Shuang Shuang, he got up to greet him.
"You're here!" Li Ran took Bai Shuangshuang's hand and walked to the table where the meal had been set up and sat down: "Your legs and feet are also fast, right?" I heard that you were rejected to send a post, so I immediately let Bicao chase him out, and everyone was gone. While settling down the white frost, she picked up the chopsticks and ate by herself: "I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to eat, so I came to have a private meeting with you, and you didn't eat either, right?" Eat quickly. ”
"......" private meeting?! Can this word be applied to two women? Bai Shuangshuang couldn't interject when Li Ran said one after another, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, so he also picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.
Li Ran glanced at the three subordinates standing next to him, and while chewing with his mouth, he pointed out the door with chopsticks: "I have arranged a meal for you downstairs, you can also go eat." ”
The corners of Bicao's eyebrows twitched: "Miss, it's not easy to talk with food in your mouth." ”
"Okay, okay, I got it. Hurry up and take these two girls to eat, it's not in front of my father, where did I get so many rules. ”
Bicao was speechless in her heart, but thinking that Baishuangshuang was not an outsider, she went by Li Ran, and she called Shangchun Tao and Caisang downstairs with reason.
In fact, Bai Shuangshuang had already eaten before he came, so after eating a little food symbolically, he said to Li Ran: "I'm saying, your concierge doesn't even accept my post, there must be something weird, I have already called someone to check, and you will find me out." ”
Hearing what Bai Shuangshuang said, Li Ran gave Bai Shuang a roll of his eyes: "Isn't this on the tuyere?" Oh, don't talk about me, what's the matter with you, such a big thing, you didn't even tell me personally! ”
"What's the big deal?"
Li Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Shuangshuang, and said: "The power of those in the know is really terrifying, and the people involved in it are the last to know." That's the power of gossip. ”
"What's wrong?" Bai Shuangshuang asked even more suspiciously, what happened to him? I remember that in the morning, I was still innocent and there were no rumors at all.
"What's wrong?" Li Ran put down his chopsticks and asked, "Are you embarrassed to ask me?" Why didn't you tell me about the young master of the Cheng family? ”
