Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

This is a carriage that looks ordinary but is actually very low-key and luxurious. Generally, the wheels of carriages are made of hard and wear-resistant elm, but this one, Bai Chen sharply noticed that the wheels are made of mahogany. The owner must be either rich or expensive.

The girl next door really has a lot of background.

After the carriage came to a complete stop, a woman in her fifties and a maidservant in her seventeen or eighteen trotted out to wait.

This is Aunt Zhang and that girl's personal maid.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a slender woman in a pale pink skirt came down from the inside. She looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a ponytail, with small flowers pasted between her eyebrows, and her eyes were picturesque. In the moonlight, it looks pure and reveals a trace of laziness.

If it weren't for her pale and tired expression, she would really be worthy of the expression of the shameful flower of the closed moon.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, Mrs. Zhang wrapped her cloak around her, and then the servant girl also stepped forward to support the girl.

The woman blessed her body in the direction of the carriage, and the curtain in the carriage was lowered immediately.

At that moment, Bai Chen saw a man sitting in the carriage, wrapped in a cloak and wearing a hat at night, he couldn't see his appearance at all, only he had a goatee and a pointed chin.

Soon, the carriage drove away, and the woman returned to the courtyard with the support of her mother-in-law and maidservants.

Gossip time is over.

Xiao Lin carried Bai Chen down in the same way, and made Bai Chen feel like being flying again.

Both of them obviously had many questions about the scene they saw just now, but the road was obviously not a place to talk, so they returned to Bai Chen's home and entered the main room.

"Did you see clearly the appearance of the man in the carriage just now?" Bai Chen made a cup of tea for Xiao Lin, "I only saw that man once."

Xiao Lin shook his head, "I only saw the part below his nose, so it's hard to identify, but he should be a member of the officialdom, and his official position is not low."

"Perhaps it's really a foreign house?" Bai Chen snorted coldly, "Isn't it common for them to take the foreign house out to dinner?"

——It’s like some big money in later generations. Having a wife is not counted, but you have to raise a "girlfriend". Wine, kill two birds with one stone.

In his previous life, Bai Chen caught an arms smuggler. Not only did he have a wife, but also a mistress, and a fourth, fifth, and sixth.When I went out to discuss business, I randomly took three, four, five and six out, which was simply amazing.

"This matter is out of the question, but it has become popular, which is ridiculous." Xiao Lin said, "They are all hypocritical villains, and they want to save face."

"For them, being a couple for a lifetime is just an illusion in a drama." Bai Chen felt a little touched after drinking, "Marrying such a person is really not as good as being alone for a lifetime."

"There are still people who believe it." Xiao Lin whispered, "For example, me."

"Yes, I believe this." Bai Chen said, "It's a pity that we are all played by fate. You can only fulfill this long-cherished wish when you get married for the second time."

Xiao Lin: ...

Why did he feel like vomiting blood, he told himself, don't rush, don't panic, you must calm down before calming down.

The two chatted for a while, and the next day they had business again, so Xiao Lin left with wishful thinking.

Walking out of Bai Chen's house, Xiao Lin decided to move in as soon as the house was renovated.

……

"Young master, you'll get thirsty after drinking, drink some sugar water and rest." When Bai Chen was fetching water to wash his face by the well, Bing'er came out with a bowl.

"it is good."

Bai Chen washed his face and became more sober. Thinking of the gossip he saw just now, he couldn't help asking: "You and Mrs. Zhang next door often go grocery shopping together these days. Didn't she mention her girl's family background to you?"

"No." Bing'er put the bowl on the table, "Aunt Zhang is kind, but she doesn't talk about her girls, she's very strict."

"I see."

Sure enough, it was the outer room, thinking of this, his gossip energy also disappeared.

"The girl next door doesn't go out during the day, but I occasionally see her going out in a carriage at night, I don't know what's going on." Bing'er said, "In addition to buying vegetables, Mrs. Zhang also goes to fetch medicine, it seems that her girl is a little weak. "

"Ah."

It can be seen that when he got off the carriage just now, his face was pale, and he felt that he would fall down if he was blown by the wind.

……

After drinking the sugar water and washing up, Bai Chen didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he let Bing'er go to bed, and watched the moon in the courtyard by himself.

It's another fifteen, the moon is like a silver plate, and the light is like a gauze.

After crossing over, this period of time is the most stable and comfortable time for him to live. Even if he can't come back until late at night, it can make him feel calm.

It's just that occasionally there will be some inexplicable confusion, but he can't figure out where the confusion is.

This confusion was like a little paw, gently scratching his heart from time to time, making him a little hesitant and a little dazed.

For example, now, his confusion popped up again.

What is wrong?

He was wandering aimlessly in the courtyard, his mind was also spinning at the same time, when he reached the base of the wall, there was a burst of sobbing from the next courtyard, suppressed very, very low, but Bai Chen could still hear the general idea.

"Girl, you have to take care of yourself..." Aunt Zhang heard the voice, with infinite distress in her tone, "If you continue like this, your body..."

"Mother Zhang, I'm fine. Didn't you boil medicine for me?" The gentle woman's voice should be that of the mistress of the house next door, that beautiful and pure girl, she said softly, "Don't worry."

"I..." Mrs. Zhang stopped crying, and sighed: "When will this end? Come on, drink the medicine, girl, and go to rest after drinking. The dew will be deeper, and it is not suitable to sit in the courtyard for a long time."

"it is good."

Gradually, the voice of the conversation in the courtyard next door disappeared, maybe the girl drank the medicine and went to the room to rest.

Aunt Zhang's tone was sad and distressed, but that girl was calm and calm, as if she looked down on everything, which did not match the inherent image of the delicate and scheming outer room in his mind.

Maybe he guessed wrong, everyone has their own secrets, even himself is no exception.

Thinking of this, he also stopped thinking about himself and others, and decided to go to sleep.

……

Early the next morning, Xiao Lin showed up in his courtyard on time, even more punctual than the alarm clock.

"Aren't you going to the military camp today?" Bai Chen wondered, "Why are you here?"

"Come here first to teach you how to practice martial arts before you go." Xiao Lin said, "The days are not very peaceful these days. It is said that Jiangyang robbers who are good at martial arts have sneaked into the capital. They have committed several crimes recently. Your Dali Temple should know about this, right?"

Bai Chen nodded: "Drunk passers-by were beaten with sap sticks at night, and all valuables were searched away. Four or five cases occurred, and two people died. It is said that Mrs. Mei's hair is all because of this matter recently I'm so sad, if I can't solve the case again, I'm afraid the case will be brought up by him again."

"He, Jing Zhaoyin, is too comfortable to be an official. Don't let him sit still. He doesn't know the difficulties of being an official." It can be seen that Xiao Lin's evaluation of Master Mei is not very good, and he said immediately : "You have a lot of cases recently. If it is late after the value is cleared, don't walk at night, you must take a carriage, otherwise it will be unsafe. I said to prepare a carriage for you before, but you don't want it. You said prepare it yourself, but you didn't buy it for so long. .”

"... I was negligent." Bai Chen said with a wry smile, "Let's not talk about the carriage, even the cleaning lady didn't have time to hire one, life is muddled."

"Let me let Ruyi come over. He is smart and does things properly. He and Bing'er can still be a companion."

Bai Chen frowned, "But..."

Xiao Lin raised his hand to stop Bai Chen's refusal, and said solemnly again: "You won't be able to find a suitable servant for a while, Ruyi can solve the emergency of burning coal, and when you hire a satisfactory servant I'll call Ruyi back again."

"But Ruyi wants to serve you on weekdays, what will you do if you send him to me?"

Xiao Lin said: "There are many servants in the palace, so there is no need to worry about me. In a few days, my house can be moved in, and I will come to live in it at any time, and you can run around if you wish."

"Okay then, thank you very much." Bai Chen still felt that it was not good, but the other party looked so sincere, and he felt that if he refused, would it make Xiao Lin feel that he did not regard him as a friend?

Under such a tangled situation, Bai Chen had no choice but to agree.

"You help me like this, I don't even know what to do." Bai Chen said frankly, "It feels like I'm taking advantage of you."

"How come, why do friends use the word "cheap" to describe it. "Xiao Lin's expression was sincere, "We are from enemy to friend, and we treat each other with sincerity. "

Bai Chen was caught by the inexplicable light in his eyes, his heart warmed up, and he was about to say something when Binger brought out the breakfast.

"I... didn't come out at the wrong time?" Bing'er chuckled.

"You girl, don't talk nonsense." After being interrupted like this, Bai Chen also forgot what he wanted to say, and called Xiao Lin over for breakfast.

After breakfast, Xiao Lin instructed Bai Chen to practice boxing again, and soon it was time to go out.

"Take my carriage, I will send you to the Yamen first, and then go out of the city to the military camp." Xiao Lin said, "I don't need to fight, I can go anytime."

Bai Chen thought for a while, "Okay."

The two of them went out and were about to get out of the alley to take Xiao Lin's carriage. After walking a few steps, they saw another carriage hastily entered the alley.

Bai Chen was startled, isn't this the carriage of Mr. Luo?How did you come to him.

The carriage stopped in front of him, Luo Lanye lifted the curtain, saw Bai Chen and said straight to the point, "There is a case, Bai Sizhi, get in the car."

After finishing speaking, he saw Xiao Lin, he was slightly surprised, then got out of the car, bowed his hands and saluted, "I have seen the son of the world."

"Lord Luo, you're being polite." Xiao Lin replied with a half-smile, "Is there a big case so early?"

"Exactly, speaking of it, the victim is related to the Shizi."

Xiao Lin frowned: "Who?"

Luo Lanye said: "The second young master of Cheng En Bo's residence, He Wenguang."

Xiao Lin: ...

Bai Chen: ...

What happened to He Wenguang, who sent someone to deliver things yesterday?

"What happened to Mr. He?" Bai Chen asked hastily.

"I was knocked on the head, and now I only have half my life left." Luo Lanye looked anxious, "Now we have to rush to the uncle's mansion to check on Mr. He's situation. My son, I will take my leave."

Bai Chen said, "Brother Xiao, take your leave."

"Farewell."

Xiao Lin cupped his hands, and watched Bai Chen get into Luo Lanye's car and leave.

...Why do you feel like you've been cut off for no reason?

The author has something to say: Jiang Haoran: Insane, he actually stuffed Ruyi into it!

Someone Xiao: How?Dissatisfied?

Jiang Haochen: But, I still got into Mr. Luo's car (/ω＼)

Someone Xiao: Upstairs is stupid, white and sweet, get away with it

I hope that the students who took the fourth and sixth exams today will pass with high scores!
