Chapter 33: Recuperation

Bai Lilan never thought that this little injury was worth chirping for others. If this injury can cause everyone to worry, then the scars left by the original mission can make them faint several times. And what kind of martial arts is that Shangguan Yan, she knows very well that if it really endangers her life, she will definitely not rush over. It's just that Bai Lilan can't explain these words to them, and in the end, everyone is like guarding a fragile doll, carefully watching over her. This feeling made Baili Lan very uncomfortable.

Because of the excuse of recuperating from her injuries, Baili Lan hid in the house for several days and lived peacefully. There was also news from the Yamen, saying that Shangguan Yan's case had changed its nature and needed to be handed over to Dali Temple for review. Regardless of the outcome, the Shangguan family was implicated, and the emperor originally intended to marry Princess Xianghe to the National Teacher's Mansion and marry the Shangguan family. But when something like this happened, the matter had to be stopped. For a time, the once beautiful National Teacher's Mansion became crowded.

While listening to the return of the spring breeze, Baili Lan leisurely peeled the grapes and ate one, and the slightly sour feeling instantly filled the taste buds, making Bai Li Lan squint his eyes slightly.

"Hmph, that Shangguan Yan is also evil and evil, and he dared to beat the idea of the county lord and the fourth lady. Just let him go to jail, it's really cheap for him! Xia Yu stood next to Baili Lan and said indignantly, "If it were me, I would definitely dismantle him to relieve the hatred in my heart!" ”

"Xia Yu, you are not good like this, you fight and kill all day long, you will not be able to marry in the future!" Xiaobao ate the grapes fed by Bailijun and said vaguely. That serious little appearance made everyone smile.

"County Lord, there are people outside the door asking to see you." In the midst of the commotion, the autumn frost walked in from outside and leaned over to report.

There are not many people who know Baili Lan in Nanzhao, and those who can find her at this time can also name her, I am afraid that this person is an old acquaintance with Bai Li Lan.

Wiping her hands with the handkerchief handed over by the spring breeze, Baili Lan said lazily, "Bring someone in." ”

After Qiushuang left, less than half an hour later, she entered the inner courtyard with a young man. Bai Lilan looked at the past intently and couldn't help but sneer.

It turned out that the person who came here was none other than the scribe who had argued with Baili Lan in court a few days ago.

A few steps forward, the scribe was still amazed and Baili Lan's beautiful face, and in the dizziness, he was reluctant to look away.

"Hey, why are you looking at my eldest sister like this, it's rude!" Xiaobao frowned and stood up, blocking in front of Baili Lan. It's just that his height is idle, and even if he jumps, he can't stop the man's greedy gaze. While feeling frustrated, Xiaobao's eyes sank, and he reached out and threw out a "hidden weapon", which shot straight into the scribe's eyes.

"Hmm,"

The scribe covered his eyes in pain and took a few steps back. The feeling of soreness made him cry, and there was a slippery and greasy touch on his hands. I looked up and saw that it was a clump of grape skins!

"Xiaobao, don't mess around! The visitor is a guest, so please come in. ”

Baili Lan said casually, and Xiaobao didn't plan to implement it at all, with his chin held high, full of disdain. In the end, Qiushuang kindly gave him a handkerchief and reluctantly wiped his face.

Such a sudden change disrupted the scribe's plan, and he stood in front of Baili Lan with a flushed face, looking cramped and uneasy.

"I don't know what happened when Mr. came over today?" Seeing that the scribe didn't speak for a long time, Baili Lan frowned slightly and opened her mouth first.

"Uh...... That's the case, the national teacher sent someone from Liangcheng, saying that because of the matter of the son, the Baili girl was harmed, and he specially asked the child to come and make amends for the son. With that, the scribe bowed down and bent deeply.

Looking at the scribe's actions, Bai Lilan was expressionless, and said calmly, "We have received the national teacher's reparation, and Mr. can go back." ”

The scribe didn't expect Bai Lilan to give such an unceremonious eviction order, he was stunned for a moment, and then his mind quickly transferred, and he made an excuse and said, "Actually...... The national teacher also wants to discuss with the girl to see if the damage suffered by the girl can be made up by the National Teacher's Mansion, and we will make up for your losses as much as possible. I hope you are satisfied, and you will be able to ...... I was able to let my son-in-law go. ”

"Satisfying us? Then I'm going to have to think about it. Bai Lilan supported her chin with her fingers, pretending to be thoughtful, and her delicate posture made the scribe dizzy, "Well, let Shangguan Yan learn to bark three times in front of everyone!" Ah Jun likes dogs, and if he can do this, he may be able to make Ah Jun smile. ”

All the whimsical reveries disappeared in an instant, and the scribe's face was ugly, and he frowned and said, "The national teacher is sincere, and I hope that Miss Baili will not take it as a joke, after all, this is a matter that is beneficial to both of us." ”

Wandering gaze, Baili Lan's deep gaze looked directly at the scribe, Qing Qi's red lips, and asked rhetorically, "Both sides are beneficial?" Not necessarily! Our Ajun's reputation has been ruined, what are you going to do to make up for it? Marry her back to Shangguanfu? Then I will divorce Shangguan Yan's wife first, and our Ah Jun can only be the main house! If there is no sincerity at all, then the gentleman should not speak, and there is no need for us to continue talking! ”

Bai Lilan said that there was no room for turning, and as soon as the words fell, Xia Yu stood up, pointed his finger unceremoniously, and said in a rough voice, "Please!" Our county lord still has to recuperate from his injuries, and the idlers will leave quickly! ”

The scribe was repeatedly expelled, and he was resentful, looking at Baili Lan, and said in a cold voice, "Baili girl, the national teacher respects you as the daughter of the king of Dingnan, so he endures it in every way." I hope the girl can see the reality clearly, you are no longer the princess of Beiningchen, and with your own strength, you can't fight against the national teacher at all. If the national teacher is angry, it will be very bad for the girl. You can rely on your iron bones to refuse the conditions proposed by the national teacher, but what about your younger siblings? Who can keep them safe? Besides, after the matter is investigated, it is inconclusive whether my son-in-law is really infected with the lost soul, and the girl is likely to be unable to protect herself. Why not take advantage of the current situation in your favor and choose a wise path? ”

The scribe's words made Bai Lilan's eyes narrow, she looked at him playfully, her fingertips playing with a green grape, and said leisurely, "Why, according to your meaning, Shangguan Yan still has the possibility of seeing the light of day?" Oh, I advise your national teacher to stop daydreaming, this son is bringing disaster to him. If his heart is ruthless enough and he can give up Shangguan Yan, he may be able to save half of the Shangguan family's life. But if he has the kindness of a woman and tries his best to clear Shangguan Yan's name, then in the end, even his official position may not be guaranteed. At this point, you can convey these words to the national teacher as they are, or you can act as if you didn't hear anything. But if I were you, no matter what he did, it would be better to leave the Shangguan family quickly, and it was important to protect yourself! ”

This feeling of being despised made the scribe clench his fists, and he looked at Baili Lan unwillingly, and said, "What is it that makes you so confident?" Blindly believing in yourself will only hasten your own demise! I can't bear the girl's end up ruined, so I'm kind enough to tell her! ”

"If I'm not sure, of course I won't say anything!" Baili Lan looked at the scribe with a smile, and the smile on her lips was full of charm, "It's useless to talk more, please!" ”

Flicking his sleeves in indignation, the scribe turned and left. When he left, he was still full of resentment, and he said that such a strong woman, even if she has amazing appearance, there is no man in the world who can accommodate him!

"The tone of this person's speech is really annoying, eldest sister, do you want me to go out and teach him a lesson!" Snapping his wrist, Xiaobao said eagerly.

Poked his finger at Xiaobao's forehead, and Bai Lilan smiled, "Who said that the summer rain was violent just now?" Now that I haven't finished half a sentence, I have to go out and teach others. ”

"I ...... Isn't that too angry! Now I see people who have a relationship with the Shangguan family, and I am very angry! Xiaobao wanted to say something, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Bailijun who was secretly contemplating, so he hurriedly closed his mouth, obediently snuggled up to Baililan's side, and secretly glanced at Bailijun from time to time.

Feeling Xiaobao's cautious gaze, Baili Jun poked his head out and said funny, "Say whatever you want, such a gentle and gentle is really not Baili Qingbao's temperament!" ”

Seeing that Baili Jun was so "encouraged" himself, Xiaobao held his small chest and said loudly, "Fourth sister, don't be afraid of gossip outside, when I grow up, I will marry the fourth sister!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily because of this child's unscrupulous words.

Listening to the sound of laughter inside, the little guy in the green shirt turned around and looked at it, and asked in a low voice, "Childe, do we still want to go in?" ”

The man's brown eyes stared at the closed door, and said lightly, "Forget it, another day, I don't want my appearance to ruin their good mood." ”

Before the little servant could say something, he saw his master step back twice, and then quietly left.

***

Because the weather has become cooler recently, the autumn frost dragged the spring breeze, and she went to the street with her to pick up some good cotton wool, and prepared to make winter clothes for the Baili sisters and brothers. The winter in Nanzhao is not as good as in Bac Ninh, where the river is frozen, the frost is all over the earth, and snowflakes often fall, making it difficult to travel. Therefore, when the Nanzhao people are preparing for the winter, they will prepare clothes and food, and then clean up the house warmly, and after the New Year, when the spring is full of joy, they will start the preparations for the new year.

Chunfeng and the others have never lived in Nanzhao, so they are a little confused in terms of preparation, and it is only at the suggestion of Baili Lan that they think of preparing winter clothes early. But not long after the two of them went out, they came back in a huff.

"What's the matter, what's making you angry like this?" Xia Yu was cleaning the yard, and when he saw two people returning empty-handed, and their faces were not good-looking, he asked suspiciously.

Holding his arm, he hummed and said, "Don't mention it, those Nanzhao people, listening to our accent is from Beining, they will ask for three taels of silver and a ball of cotton when they open their mouths." Do you know how small that cotton is? That's it! How much does it cost to make a dress! I'm afraid that few people in Nanzhao can afford to wear it! ”

"Yes. We reasoned with her, but they said we love to buy or not! We can't afford to mess with such a bullish store, so it's better to change one. I didn't think that after changing one, it was still the same price. When we came out of the shop, the owner of the first cotton shop stood in front of us and said triumphantly, 'Most of this cotton wool business is his, if you want to spend the winter warmly, you must buy it from him'! You said that there is no royal law in the world, and it is really a bully to blatantly sit on the ground and raise the price! ”
