After the scheming is dressed into an innocent beauty

The next day, Lin Qingshu was on duty at the Imperial Academy and came to Ning'an Hou Mansion to look for Bai Jinfu. He inadvertently heard from Yan Rui that it was Jiang Shuheng who sent Bai Jinfu back last night, and he was immediately surprised.

"That's why it's being circulated in both Beijing and China that the beauty who was taken away by the general at the polo meeting yesterday is you?"

Bai Jinfu felt a headache when he thought about what happened yesterday. It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread far and wide. Those children from aristocratic families must be full, and their mouths are so broken. It took only a day, and even Lin Qingshu knew about it.

Bai Jinfu took a sip of tea expressionlessly, "It's not what you think. Jiang Shuheng thought I was being harassed by the second master, and he helped me because of the honor of the second master."

"So that's it." Lin Qingshu nodded, then moved his head closer and asked gossipingly, "Then did anything happen to you afterwards?"

Bai Jinfu mercilessly pushed Lin Qingshu's face away with a slap, and wrote lightly: "No, he sent me back to the Hou Mansion later."

Lin Qingshu was disappointed, "That's it?"

Bai Jinfu nodded: "That's it."

Lin Qingshu held his chin and said thoughtfully: "Then it seems that the general is not as indifferent as others said, but also very warm-hearted, and he is willing to help strangers."

What kind of old-fashioned enthusiasm, obviously eating too much salt - idle, who asked him for help?

Thinking of how he came back last night while lying on the horse's back, being bumped all the way back, Bai Jinfu still feels a faint pain in his stomach.

Bai Jinfu put down his teacup, and pretended to speak casually and said casually: "I see Jiang Shuheng wandering around the capital all day, just like other idle dudes, why do you all seem to admire him?"

Lin Qingshu opened his eyes wide, "How do you say that, the General is our Daliu's God of Killing, he repelled the army of Beiliang, shouldn't he be admired by all the people?"

Disdain flashed in Bai Jinfu's eyes, "Killing God? He stabbed the basket himself and implicated innocent people. Lord Hou is still busy looking for the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince will also be sent to Baiyue because of him." As a hostage, what kind of god is he?"

"Haha, what you said is not unreasonable." Lin Qingshu looked at Bai Jinfu jokingly, "But even so, let me ask ordinary people who dare not accept Jiang Shuheng, do you still dare to tell him what you just said in person?"

Bai Jinfu sneered in his heart, sorry, he really said it in front of Jiang Shuheng, others might not dare to offend Jiang Shuheng, but he wished that Jiang Shuheng would turn against him.

It's a pity that things backfired. Thinking of Jiang Shuheng slapping his ass twice yesterday, Bai Jinfu couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb.

Bai Jinfu didn't want to discuss Jiang Shuheng's matter any more, so he changed the topic and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that, what's the matter you came to see me today?"

Lin Qingshu shrugged, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. This is not the homework that Lord Hou told me to keep an eye on you before he left Beijing. I'll just come and see how you're doing with your studies recently."

When Bai Jinfu heard the word "homework", he started to have a headache again, turned his head to look at Lin Qingshu, and sincerely persuaded him: "I think you are not young, how come you haven't married yet? You see, you have won the first prize in the exam, and getting married and having children is the most important thing in life, so don't keep running to me all day long."

"A certain scholar from Lin's family is poor and doesn't have much money. Which girl would like me?" Lin Qingshu chuckled, and brought a stack of books from the desk and pushed them in front of Bai Jinfu. I haven't got "Han Palace Autumn Moon Picture" yet, so I won't give up, come on, brother Bai, let's learn "The Analects of Confucius" first."

Bai Jinfu couldn't believe it and said: "You are a number one scholar, how could no girl like you? I read in the scriptures, after those scholars won the number one prize, didn't the dignitaries rush to marry their daughters to him? Being chosen by the emperor There are also many people who are consorts."

Lin Qingshu curled her lips and said with a wry smile: "Those scripts were all made up by sour scholars in their dreams, and they are still a son-in-law? How can such a good thing be my turn? You don't even look at how many children from aristocratic families in Beijing have not married wives, just For example, my senior brother Ning Anhou, Han Xiang, General Jiang and his ilk are not married yet."

Bai Jinfu suddenly felt something, pretending to be curious and asked: "Why do you think these people don't get married?"

Lin Qingshu blinked, thought for a while, and said: "Which of these people is not an important person in the court, maybe they can't decide their own marriage, and they have to wait for the marriage to be bestowed by the Holy One. By the way, when it comes to bestowing marriage, I think of something. "

Bai Jinfu asked: "What's the matter?"

Lin Qingshu said: "Princess Dongyang's daughter, Princess Changle, has reached the age of marriage. Recently, Princess Dongyang is trying to choose a son-in-law for her beloved daughter, and she has given birth to many unmarried princes and young ladies of the right age in Beijing. The invitation said that there will be an elegant fair, but in fact, everyone knows that the purpose is to let the princess of Changle choose a husband and son-in-law from among the princes of these families. On the second day, the emperor's decree to bestow marriage will come down."

Bai Jinfu then asked again: "Do you know who is invited?"

Lin Qingshu thought for a while, and said: "I don't know the others very well, but I know that Lord Hou must have received the invitation card. After all, Lord Hou is a talented person with a personable demeanor. The famous ladies in the capital who want to marry him don't know How many."

Bai Jinfu frowned, "Isn't Han Yucheng also unmarried? Will he go?"

Lin Qingshu waved his hand, "Han Xiang definitely won't go, think about it, Han Xiang's elder sister is a royal concubine, and he is not in the same generation as Princess Changle."

Bai Jinfu couldn't give up, "What about Jiang Shuheng? He's not inferior, is he?"

Lin Qingshu laughed and said: "The general has been in the army all year round and rarely returns to Beijing. To put it bluntly, marrying such a person is almost equivalent to being a widow. You must be worried every day. If you would marry your daughter to him Is it? Naturally, Princess Dongyang will not let her beloved daughter suffer such grievances."

Damn, he originally thought that if the scumbags got married, maybe they wouldn't provoke him in the future, but it turned out to be nothing but joy.

In other words, if Han Yucheng and Jiang Shuheng didn't go to the princess mansion, wouldn't Jing Yu have any competitors?

Bai Jinfu thought about it, maybe this is not a bad thing.

He was always afraid of getting Jing Yu involved, so he deliberately caught Jing Haoyuan, and let Jing Haoyuan stand in front of him in everything.

But if Jing Yu can marry Princess Changle, maybe it can change his fate, so as not to be targeted by the scumbags in the future, besides, marrying Princess Changle is better than marrying Wang Qiaoying in the end, right?

Lin Qingshu saw that Bai Jinfu was suddenly in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he stretched out his hand and waved in front of Bai Jinfu's eyes, "Why do you ask so many questions, are you also interested in becoming the county horse master?" Looking at Bai Jinfu's face, he said with a grin, "However, if someone as handsome and handsome as our Mr. Bai can go, maybe he can really win the favor of Princess Changle. If you are really interested, you can talk to Lord Hou." Tell me, Lord Hou should agree to take you there with me on that day."

Bai Jinfu regained his senses, and said with a fake smile: "Thank you for the compliment, but I'm not interested."

He is still more interested in the old man of the month.

-

Thanks to the information provided by Lin Qingshu, Bai Jinfu was able to clarify his next plan.

Three days later, Jing Yu returned to the capital. It was already night when he returned to the mansion. Bai Jinfu had waited for him for several days, and had already internalized what he wanted to say to Jing Yu countless times. After leaving the study, he asked Yan Rui to light the lantern for him, and went to Jing Yu's study to find someone in person.

Bai Jinfu entered Jing Yu's yard unimpeded, and the light was on in the study, so it could be seen that Jing Yu was inside.

Outside the study room, Jing Yu's personal servant, Lu Tang, was standing there. Seeing Bai Jin helping him, he asked, "Mr. Bai, why are you here?"

Bai Jinfu asked Yan Rui to wait for him outside, walked over and said, "I have something to do with Lord Hou."

Lu Tang said: "Then I will inform you."

Bai Jin Fu said gently and honestly: "No need to bother, it's just a matter of a few words, I'll go find Lord Hou myself."

Then he walked up the steps and knocked on the study door.

After waiting for a while, I heard footsteps coming from inside, the door was quickly opened, and Jing Yu appeared at the door, "Ah Fu? What do you want me to do?"

I haven't seen you for a few days, maybe because of the hard work of looking for the Seventh Prince, I didn't even bother to clean up my appearance. I rushed back all the way, my handsome face was slightly tired, and a lot of pimples appeared on my chin. Cyan stubble.

Bai Jinfu thought that it would take only a few words, so he didn't enter the study, shook his head, and said: "It's nothing serious, I just have a few words to say to Lord Hou, and I'll leave after I finish."

Jing Yu asked, "What?"

"Master Hou, I really don't like reading, can you please stop forcing me?" Bai Jinfu lowered his head and lowered his eyes, his slender and thick black eyelashes swept a shadow, the corners of his mouth were bent downwards, with a miserable expression, as if As if being abused by someone, "I know Lord Hou is doing it for my own good, but I admit that I am a waste. I just don't like studying, and I don't want to rely on the imperial examination."

Jing Yu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Bai Jinfu would be so uncomfortable if he asked Bai Jinfu to take the imperial examination. He couldn't laugh or cry, so he reached out and patted Bai Jinfu's shoulder to comfort him: "Don't underestimate yourself. If you don't like reading, you can be called a waste. It's so serious, but Ah Fu, I still have something to do now, can we talk about your business tomorrow?"

These words have been held back in Bai Jinfu's stomach for a long time. Today, he is not vomit, and he was stubborn in front of Jing Yu once in a while, "No, Lord Hou, listen to me, and I will take up your time. For me Speaking of it, fame and wealth are all things outside of me, I don’t have high ambitions, I have three acres of Susukida and a tile house, and I just want to live a leisurely life.”

Jing Yu looked at Bai Jinfu and fell into deep thought. In fact, he cared more about Bai Jinfu than his own brother Jing Haoyuan. He denounced Jing Haoyuan for being ignorant and ashamed of his ancestors.

But the target was changed to Bai Jinfu, and he obviously said something that was frustrating, but such a sincere tone and reason made him unable to express any harshness.

That's all, if you don't read the book, don't read it. Is his huge Ning'an Hou Mansion afraid that he can't support someone?

Jing Yu secretly sighed in his heart, and said apologetically, "I understand. I was the one who cared about it before, and forced you to study, ignoring your feelings."

Bai Jinfu hurriedly raised his eyes to look at Jing Yu, and said embarrassedly: "Master Hou, don't blame yourself, it's because I failed your expectations."

Jing Yu smiled helplessly, "It's fine if you don't want to rely on the imperial examination, but have you ever thought about what you will do to make a living in the future?"

Bai Jinfu blinked, and said plausibly: "People say to start a family and start a business. Naturally, we should start a family first and then talk about starting a business. I haven't thought so much about the future. Let's take it one step at a time."

What Bai Jinfu thought was that as long as he didn't get married, Jing Yu would no longer let him do things he didn't want to do. He planned to use this excuse to procrastinate wherever he could.

But I didn't expect that just after he finished speaking, he heard a man's voice in the study suddenly laughing wantonly, and couldn't help but be taken aback, what's the matter?Jing Yu, is there anyone else here?

The man inside walked out slowly, showing his head behind Jing Yu, Bai Jinfu took a closer look, good guy, the enemy's road is narrow, it turned out to be Jiang Shuheng's face that deserves to be punched!

"How will you be here?"

"I'm sorry to interrupt you. I just heard cat meowing outside the window, so I opened the window and took a look. Guess what?" Jiang Shuheng glanced at Bai Jinfu meaningfully, his black eyes Filled with thick banter, he grinned and said, "It turns out that the little wild cat is in heat and wants to find a wife."

Bai Jinfu heard that Jiang Shuheng was teasing him, and turned his head to the side, as if "too lazy to talk to you".

Jing Yu looked back at Jiang Shuheng, then at Bai Jinfu, a little surprised, "You two know each other?"

Jiang Shuheng lightly said "Oh", "I saw it once, at the polo club."

Bai Jinfu's tone was cold, "I'm not familiar with you."

Jiang Shuheng sneered, "I'm really not familiar with you. I almost didn't recognize him when I saw you today."

The little wild cat that stretched its teeth and claws in front of him turned into a pitiful little cat in front of Jing Yu. I really didn't expect this man to have two faces.

Only an upright person like Jing Yu would be deceived by the little wild cat, unable to see his true face.

Jiang Shuheng recalled how he was in his study just now, when he heard how Bai Jinfu spoke to Jing Yu in that pitiful and loving tone, he couldn't help but think with some wicked humor that Jing Yu was also his friend, As a friend, should he force Little Wild Cat to show his true nature so that Jing Yu can see his true colors?
