"You have to ask him, I just have a feeling that this guy is definitely not from the rivers and lakes. It's not that we haven't seen people in the rivers and lakes, at least they should be like Bai Ada, either with a sideways face or a ruthless spirit in their bones, and they will never look like him as a white-faced scholar. His demeanor and bearing are clearly that he has been in a high position for a long time, and didn't Bai Pingzi say that he has the appearance of a king? "Because of her own strange experience, Bai Poria feels that everything in this world is possible, and the doubts raised by Bai Guo are nothing.

Bai Guo heard that she was all guessing, and couldn't help but be deflated: "Why do you suddenly believe in the second steward so much?" ”

"I've always trusted him." Bai Poria put on an innocent appearance while eating the fruit.

"You keep it like this to deceive others." Bai Guo snorted and sat cross-legged on the side of the recliner, slowly drank two sips of warm tea, and finally couldn't help but say: "You obviously doubt his identity, why do you have to be so strong?" What good will it do us to provoke these nobles to hold grudges and resent? You're a ......."

"He wants to make a private interview and hide his identity, I just cooperate with him, and those who don't know are not guilty......" Bai Lingling said stiffly, resolutely refusing to admit that it was because of his bad taste. And for some reason, she always felt that Yang Heng would not really care about these "little things" with her, and people who looked like kings and overlords generally wouldn't be too restrictive, after all, they had saved his life.

Ancient society pays more attention to moral reputation than modern society, and the more famous people are, the more dare not do it, although the Bai family is just a businessman, but her brother-in-law Lu Ying is an important minister of the court, a general who guards one side, no one will be willing to risk his reputation for a little resentment, especially Yang Heng, the sixth highness, is still just an ordinary prince, and it is too late to win over Lu Ying.

The more Bai Poria thought about it, the more she felt that she would have no problem doing this, so she whispered to Bai Guo: "Don't tell anyone what I tell you, including the second manager!" Although Bai Pingzi is capable, he is used to being arrogant, and her guess is better not to tell him first, otherwise his nose will not reach the sky, and he is the first person to identify the identity of the Sixth Highness.

Bai Guo knew that he couldn't change Bai Poria's decision, so he could only nod and promise to keep it a secret, hey...... So far, the only way to resist it is to use the big signboard that those who don't know are not guilty, so you must unswervingly pretend not to know.

After Yang Heng returned to the room, he flipped through the textbooks sent by Kale, which were not the enlightenment "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text" that he saw every day, but a very practical pure book of learning words, starting with the writing of numbers from one to ten, and then some simple utensils, titles and other words, embedded in the commonly used words and phrases, from shallow to deep, very practical. After learning a book, there is basically no chance to test children or anything, but ordinary letters and documents can already be fully understood.

The strangest thing is that the book Yang Heng got was not copied by hand, but printed!

This book is nearly 100 pages long, and it has never been circulated on the market, most of them are textbooks that the Bai family asked someone to compile and print themselves, what does the Bai family want to do? !

The next day, Yang Heng appeared on time in the T-shaped hall of the group courtyard with a stomach full of questions, and there were already ten servants dressed in the hall, boys and men from a few years old to thirty or forty years old waiting, and everyone had a small case in front of them, on which was placed a "textbook" that was the same as in his hand.

Kale stepped forward to introduce a few words, these ten people bowed to Yang Heng to say hello, and called Mr., Yang Heng's heart was full of incredible and ridiculous feelings, silently accepted their salute, and began to teach them to read, Kale once said that these slaves have learned the penultimate article, because the husband who has been teaching them has something at home that has not come, so ask Yang Heng to substitute for a month, just one afternoon a day.

Yang Heng suppressed the unhappiness and depression in his heart and began to attend class. Last night he flipped through the entire textbook, to the penultimate article, in front of these slaves should know more than a thousand commonly used words, he asked random questions to examine the degree of these "students", and looked at their homework, although most of the words were written crookedly, but there were very few mistakes, obviously the previous "sir" taught very seriously, Yang Heng's unhappiness in his heart slowly turned into surprise.

At first, he didn't believe what Bai Poria said, thinking that she was just boasting, thinking that those who had the opportunity to read and write were all slaves trained by the Bai family, and they might have to be stewards in the future, but seeing that almost every day in "class" saw new faces, and the progress of the course was different, the strange feeling in Yang Heng's heart became stronger and stronger...... Even in the palace, there are not necessarily people in the palace who teach ordinary eunuchs and palace maids to read and write, and it is very rare to be literate, and even if it is a scholarly family like the Xia family in Beijing, literate slaves are limited to a small handful who serve by the master's side. These slaves of the Bai family who came to learn calligraphy did everything, and many of them were just ordinary slaves who took care of flowers and plants.

Think about the servants such as cabbage who take care of the sick in the waiting hospital, all of them have a degree of advance and retreat, and they are obviously literate, although the Bai family is not a big talker, but there is definitely no white ding.

Yang Heng became more and more curious about the Bai family, but now he can only contact the servants of the Bai family, these people are respectful to him, and they must answer any questions, but most of them have only been in Baijiazhuang for half a year, and the things they know are also very limited.

Just as Yang Heng was thinking about his future plans and had no helper, Liedang found him.

Seeing Liedang who was brought into the room by cabbage, Yang Heng was overjoyed, as soon as Cabbage walked away, Liedang preemptively said: "Pengti, I really didn't expect to meet you here!" ”

As soon as Yang Heng heard his title, he knew that he was worried that the wall had ears and the conversation between the two would be eavesdropped, so he cooperated: "Yes, I was chased and killed by the enemy outside Beiguan City, and I almost died, but fortunately, I met Miss Bai and her party and was rescued here, why are you so coincidental here." ”

Lie Dang hehe smiled and said: "The old man has been wandering here to find his relatives and not be exhausted, and I heard that the Bai family is going to ask someone to teach the slaves to read, so I came to earn a few dollars to make ends meet." ”

The two of them confessed their experiences after parting, and then Yang Heng made up an excuse to be angry in the house and went out for a walk with Liedang. The two walked to the open space and hurriedly exchanged some news, and then parted.

Baijiazhuang's defense is tight inside and loose outside, except for the heavily guarded mansion where the owner and daughter of the Bai family live on Baili Mountain, other places are not very restrictive of personnel exchanges, Yang Heng walked around in a big way, and almost walked all over the front of Baili Mountain in a few days, he had to say that this place was like a fairyland, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there would be such a beautiful place in the border wilderness.

He is also becoming more and more curious about the Bai family, such a handiwork and expenditure is unimaginable, where does the Bai family's money come from? A small tooth shop has such a huge income, not only can it afford to support the huge mountain villa plus a group of slaves, but it can also cover the expenses and salaries of the Zhenbei Army?! The financial resources and business of this Bai family are obviously more than what they seem.

If you can recruit the Bai family to your subordinates...... The most important thing is that the squeamish little wild cat with sharp teeth and sharp mouth will also belong to him, Yang Heng suddenly felt that this trip to Beiguancheng was really too right!

These days, he and Lie Dang have secretly contacted his people, and now they are just waiting for a suitable opportunity to reveal their identities, Yang Heng is very interested in knowing what kind of expression the little wild cat will look like when the second steward of the Bai family who said that he has the appearance of a king knows his identity.

Bai Pingzi has always been quite polite to him, although he is very curious about what Bai Pingzi said about the "appearance of the king", but now it is inconvenient to ask directly.

But any man with ambition, especially a man like him who not only has ambition, but also has the conditions to achieve ambition, will be very enthusiastic about this kind of thing.

The opportunity that Yang Heng wanted soon came......

On this day, he was walking slowly on the mountain road, and saw a burst of dust in the northerly direction of Baili Mountain from a distance, and more than a dozen healthy horses galloped all the way to the mountain gate before reining in the horses, although these dozen horses galloped all the way, but the formation was neat, and the lines were not chaotic, Yang Heng looked at it from a distance, and only felt that although they were few in number, the momentum was not inferior to that of hundreds of thousands of cavalry arrayed in front.

Immediately, the knights were all wearing the blue-gray military uniforms of the Zhenbei Army, and the first one was wearing the general's clothes, far away, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, Yang Heng had already guessed that the person at the head should be the Zhenbei general Lu Ying who returned from patrolling, and behind him should be his personal guards, the famous "Zhenbei Eighteen Cavalry".

Yesterday, I received a secret report from a spy, saying that General Lu Ying had not yet returned to the city, and today I saw him appear in Baili Mountain. How good is his relationship with the Bai family?

Lu Ying was a frequent visitor to Baijiazhuang, and he didn't need the servants in the village to lead the way, he waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, signaling them to go to rest, and rode up the mountain to the Bai family's mansion alone.

These soldiers had long regarded Baijiazhuang as their second home, greeting and laughing with the people in the village all the way, and going all the way to the guest house specially built for them to freshen up and rest. The conditions here in Baijiazhuang are much better than those in the military camp, so when they heard that the general would not stay in Beiguan City, he would come to Baijiazhuang first, and they did not complain at all, but a hundred and a thousand were willing.

Lie Dang didn't know when he appeared beside Yang Heng, looked at this scene from a distance and said, "Since Lu Ying has already appeared, when does the Lord plan to reveal his identity to him?" ”

Yang Heng smiled slightly: "Sooner rather than later." ”
