Chapter 39: The Dagger
When Bai Zi and the old lady came out of Meixiang Courtyard together, Zhan Zhen just finished dealing with things, and Bai Zi went over to find Zhan Zhen, the Double Ninth Festival is coming, why did it fall so early in the snow in Yuanjing this year?
Zhu'er pushed her all the way to be silent, and was about to arrive at Zhan Zhen's study, at this time, Zhu'er finally couldn't help it, so she asked her cautiously: "Miss, can I ask you a question?"
Bai Zi was full of interest: "Huh? OK. ”
Zhu'er was cautious: "Miss, why do you want Zhu'er back?"
Bai sneered and asked, "You don't understand?"
Zhu'er subconsciously shook her head, and remembered that she was behind her, and she couldn't see her shaking her head, so she said slowly: "Zhu'er is ignorant."
Bai Zi's face did not change: "I just want you to take care of me for a few more days, and after a while, you have to go back to the General's Mansion, after all, you are from the General's Mansion."
Hearing this, Zhu'er was overshadowed, and her expression was: "Miss, Zhu'er wants to take care of you by your side."
Bai Zi laughed and said, "Really?" Without waiting for Zhu'er to answer, she continued: "Whether you want to take care of me, or do you want to get more monthly examples, you know very well." She deliberately asked rhetorically, with some thoughts, wanting to cover up.
When Zhu'er heard this, she panicked and said hurriedly: "Zhu'er doesn't dare, Miss is wrong to blame Zhu'er."
Bai Zi was expressionless and said: "Zhu'er, there are some things, you should be smarter, don't ask and don't say what you shouldn't ask, don't ask, don't say, otherwise, it will be you who will come in the future."
"Yes, Zhu'er, thank you for your teaching." Zhu'er's eyes flickered, and she replied hurriedly, she was originally a second-class maid, and finally because she became a first-class maid at this time, she really wanted to stay by Bai Zi's side so much that she panicked and didn't choose what to say.
Bai Zi smiled and said slowly: "Zhu'er, you're not stupid, you just like to pretend to be stupid." She made a pun: "But sometimes it's not a good thing to pretend to be stupid, for example, if you want to live a better life, your eyes have to be bright, your heart has to be clear, and your head has to be bright, in this world, there are not many bowls of stupid people to eat." After all, how many of the henchmen are stupid? As long as you don't pretend to be smart.
When Zhu'er heard this, like a morning bell and a dusk drum, her heart seemed to be washed by the rain, she lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Miss, Zhu'er understands, thank you for your teachings."
Bai Zi listened to her words, just laughed, and didn't speak, there are some things, if you can't break it, it's good to understand it.
"Let's go." She told Zhu'er that she should go back later, and that the matter should be settled first.
……
In the study, Zhan Zhen was reading the secret report submitted by Kong Zhen, although he was a rude and irascible general, but this duty was still there, and he couldn't stop reading the secret report in the barracks because he didn't like to read and write.
"Buckle buckle." Zhu'er knocked on Zhan Zhen's door, and Bai raised his voice: "Ancestor, I'm Xing'er, I have something to discuss with you."
Hearing this, Zhan Zhen put down the things in his hand and said, "Okay, come in."
Hearing this, Zhu'er outside the door reached out and pushed the door open, and then pushed Bai in by himself.
Zhan Zhen looked at Kong Zhen: "Kong Zhen, you go down first."
"Yes." Kong Zhen clasped her fists and saluted, then exited the door.
Bai Zi also said: "Zhu'er, you go down first."
"Yes."
When Zhan Zhen and Bai Zi were left alone in the study, Zhan Zhen looked at his granddaughter, and suddenly sighed in his heart, Bai Zi's appearance was extremely good-looking, with bright teeth and moth eyebrows, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, red lips and red lips, but there was a majesty between the eyebrows and eyes, but it was a pity that he hurt his legs.
Zhan Zhen sighed and said, "Xing'er, is there something to find your ancestor?"
Bai nodded to himself and said slowly: "Ancestor, Xing'er wants you to do Xing'er a favor."
When Zhan Zhen heard this, he said angrily: "What is help, just say it if you have something."
Bai Zi lowered his eyebrows: "Xing'er wants his grandfather to find a blacksmith to make two daggers that sharpen iron like clay for Xing'er."
When Zhan Zhen heard this, he thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and said: "I don't know why there are these unwarranted disasters around you now, and the Taiwei Mansion is not as good as the General's Mansion, and even the General's Mansion has been broken into by thieves, come to think of it, this dagger is extremely important."
Bai nodded to himself: "It is precisely because of this that Xing'er wants to prepare this self-defense thing, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be a disaster and a blessing."
Zhan Zhen nodded and said, "What you said, Ancestor will definitely complete it." He paused and said, "It's just that I'm afraid that thieves will be rampant recently, so my ancestor will give you a dagger to defend yourself." With that, he walked over to a wall of paintings, reached out and lifted them, revealing a place where there were marks.
Zhan Zhen stretched out his hand to pull open the wall that seemed to be real but fake, took out a wooden box from inside, walked over and handed it to Bai Zi.
Bai Zi was stunned for a moment, and then heard Zhan Zhen say, "Okay, open it and take a look."
"Okay." After saying that, she opened it, and there was a dagger lying quietly inside, and Bai lowered her eyebrows, took out the dagger, and took off the protective gear, and the dagger was all exposed.
The blue light was flooded, and a cold aura was revealed like this, and Bai himself looked at it carefully, sure enough, it was a good dagger, or a dagger with a sharp edge.
