I'm not really the protagonist? [Transmigration Book]

"Bao'er," Xu Yining held back tears, and kept picking up vegetables for Su Jiabao, "Eat, I'm hungry and thin."

"Look at this pale and thin little face," Xu Yining couldn't bear it, turned his back and sobbed softly.

"Ah Ning, don't cry, Bao'er is not coming back, you should be happy."

"Yeah, mother, look at me, I have nothing but thinner, so I should be happy."

Su Wei and Su Jiabao comforted each other, and finally made Xu Yining laugh. After the three of them finished their meal together, Xu Yining and Su Wei hurriedly urged Su Jiabao to go to rest.

Su Jiabao rested at home for about half a month.

During this period of time, the palace, the prince's mansion, and the Xianshuo mansion all sent valuable condolence gifts. Although Su Jiabao was banned from leaving the mansion by Xu Yining and recuperated at home, he still didn't feel bored because he was counting money, It also happened to be time to think about the follow-up to his big money-making plan.

The most important thing is that he has to think about whether he is currently in the central vortex of the story.

He asked people to inquire about the situation in the opposite Su Mansion, and learned that Su Mingran and Su Mingwen of the Su Mansion were both imprisoned. The corrupt officials asked to be executed together.

Su Mingran has nothing to do with the Yanbei matter, it was purely implicated by Su Mingwen. Now that the court is short of people, Su Mingran should be released after a while. However, with Su Mingran Mingwen's affairs will also ruin his future official career.

After thinking about it, Su Jiabao felt that the day Su Mingwen beheaded should be the time when the heroine Su Lingyan really started to play the plot, and now that he has no contact with the heroine Su Lingyan, his situation should not be considered. No, in the future, avoid the heroine more, and the fate of cannon fodder should not befall him.

Thinking of his eldest brother who is a prince, General Yan who owes him a favor, Luo Qingyu who will be the chief assistant in the future, Dong Sen who will be the general of the country in the future, and Fang Rui, the first military adviser, Su Jiabao is a bit confident.

By the way, he still wants to worship Ye Fengyang from the Ye family as his teacher, so he can be regarded as a member of the Ye family if he rounds up. I heard that the Ye family is the most protective.

Su Jiabao felt relieved, and while he was still thinking, Wu Yan's voice came from inside the house, saying that Dean Ye from Xia Qi State Academy had come.

Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Su Jiabao opened the door and was about to go to the front yard, but was stopped by Xu Yining on the way, Xu Yining was full of smiles, and when he looked over with those bright eyes, Su Jiabao was startled.

"Bao'er, why didn't you tell your parents about Dean Ye's taking you as an apprentice, you child, what a good thing this is," Xu Yining pushed Su Jiabao back into the room, and took it out of the closet. After gesturing on him one after another, he finally chose one that she was satisfied with, followed by shoes, hair bun, and careful grooming.

"Okay, my treasure is really..." Xu Yining walked around Su Jiabao twice, but couldn't think of any words of praise, so he stopped talking and happily led Su Jiabao to the front yard.

"Your father is entertaining, you must not lose your manners in front of the dean."

Su Jiabao nodded repeatedly.

In the front yard, Su Wei and Ye Fengyang chatted very happily. Su Wei was originally a civil servant, and he had a lot of arrogance in his bones. The Ye family in the south of the Yangtze River has always been a family he admires, and the old man Ye Suiran of the Ye family has always been respected by him. For the sage in his heart, Su Wei was extremely excited when he met Ye Fengyang, the third son of Mr. Ye, and knowing the reason why Ye Fengyang came, Su Wei was stunned on the spot, and he couldn't hide it when he recovered. smile.

Seeing Su Jiabao coming, Su Wei suppressed a smile and wanted to be a patriarch, but his excited hands and feet didn't know where to put it, causing Su Jiabao to burst out laughing.

"Cough cough!" Su Wei pretended to cough twice, "Jia Bao, you haven't met Master yet."

"Master Su..." Ye Fengyang wanted to speak.

"Master, please accept my apprentice's respect." Su Jiabao picked up the tea on the table and knelt down in front of Ye Fengyang.

Before the ceremony of appreciating teachers, the master called. Ye Fengyang was amused by the simple and passionate behavior of the father and son, and took Su Jiabao's tea and drank it.

Forget it, although the matter of accepting apprentices is very important in the Ye family, and the apprenticeship ceremony has to be held in the Ye family's ancestral house in the south of the Yangtze River, but this time, it is not impossible to call the master first.

Ye Fengyang originally came to visit Su Jiabao, and he was relieved to see that he was in good health. Then he told Su Wei and Su Jiabao the rules of accepting disciples from the Ye family, and asked them to go to Jiangnan in half a month to visit the master at the Ye family's ancestral house. Let Su Jiabao come to Xiaqi National Academy after he recovers, so that he can't waste his studies.

When Su Wei heard that he was able to go to Ye's house and meet those people who were already famous in Xia Qi, his heart was filled with excitement. Ye Fengyang walked for a long time, but Su Wei's excitement did not stop.

Excited star chasing scene of a middle-aged fan who is about to meet his idol.

Two days later, an exquisite post was sent to the Su family, it was an invitation post for the peony banquet set up by the empress.

The Peony Banquet should have been held a few days ago, but it was postponed for a few days because of Chu Yunmo's assassination and disappearance. Now the court officials were shocked by the emperor's decisive order to kill, and because many officials were beheaded, the court It fell into a downturn all of a sudden, and the queen's peony banquet at this time was not just for viewing flowers. Therefore, the list of peony banquets this time was a little wider than in previous years.

Xu Yining had a clear mind, knowing that for this banquet, all the ladies and wives in Jingzhao's circle of elites she needed to contact, she must not steal the limelight or let others see clearly.

Su Jiabao was very concerned about Xu Yining's clothes, so he went to the gold shop that Xiahou Lingyuan gave him early the day before, and took out a set of new jewelry that he and the shopkeeper had designed together.

A silver hollow bracelet carved with auspicious patterns of flowers and birds was clasped in Xu Yining's hand. Xu Yining liked it very much at first sight. There are also flower hearts embellished with blood-red gems and blue gems, and the rest are all silver, not fancy but also classy, ​​extremely delicate and lifelike.

"Eh?" Xu Yining was puzzled, turned the bracelet back and forth, but couldn't find the opening, as if the whole bracelet was a whole, but it fit her wrist very well.

She looked at Su Jiabao next to her, and asked, "Bao'er, why is there no button here, how did that mother get it off?"

With a smug smile on Su Jiabao's face, he stretched out his hand to gently touch Xu Yining's hand, and the bracelet opened, and he took it off easily.

"Click." There was a faint and crisp sound, and Su Jiabao snapped the bracelet back to Xu Yining's hand.

"The ones with buttons," Su Jiabao raised his eyebrows, "Mother, look for it again."

Xu Yining became interested, and searched carefully for a long time, but still couldn't find the button, not to mention the button, the whole bracelet didn't even have a single joint.

Seeing that Xu Yining couldn't find it, Su Jiabao stepped forward and slowly found the hidden buckle in front of Xu Yining, and took off the bracelet.

Su Jiabao continued to introduce under his mother's surprised eyes: "Once the button is fastened, it cannot be seen from the surface, and the most amazing thing about it is that it can expand and contract according to the size of the wrist, which can roughly expand and contract the thickness of two fingers."

Su Jiabao demonstrated it in front of Xu Yining. Xu Yining didn't blink, and said after a while, "It's amazing."

"Hey! There are more!" Su Jiabao stretched out his hand to show the earrings and pendants that matched the bracelet that he brought back one by one in front of Xu Yining, telling him the magic of these gold, stone and jade designs, and then telling her It is said that these jewelry are from the gold shop that Xiahou Lingyuan gave him.

Xu Yining knew who Xiahou Lingyuan was, and also knew the shop Xiahou Lingyuan gave Su Jiabao, but he didn't expect there to be such skilled craftsmen in this golden shop. This set of things was exquisitely designed and exquisite. If those dignitaries knew about it , I'm afraid I'm going to scratch my head.

"Bao'er, mother understands." Xu Yining also imitated Su Jiabao and raised his eyebrows, "In this banquet, mother will definitely spread the reputation of this set of accessories and the gold shop."

"Mother still understands me." The mother and son got together again and chatted for a long time, until Su Wei came, the two of them dispersed.

Su Wei asked Su Jiabao to report to Xiaqi National Academy tomorrow, saying that the books had already been brought back for him, Su Jiabao nodded and said he would go.

The sun is setting and the moon is on the branches.

In the room in the west courtyard, Su Jiabao sat on the table, holding the stone pendant given to him by the master of Dahanshui Temple in his hand, thinking about what the master said.

Originally, I thought that Xiaobao would go to school and apprenticeship, and he would be in charge of business matters, but now Xiaobao's soul has been sleeping, and he doesn't know when he will wake up.

Judging from what the master said, Little Treasure should be fine, but if he wants to wake up and get rid of the crisis of his soul dissipating at any time, he still needs to go through a catastrophe.

What catastrophe?

Su Jiabao thought about all the things in the book he knew, but he couldn't figure out why, so he could only give up, praying secretly in his heart, that Xiaobao must survive the disaster safely.

As for the matter of going to school to apprentice, he can only take the place first.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Su Jiabao asked a question, stepped forward to open the door, and walked into the room with hands behind their backs following the moonlight.

The visitor's clothes are slightly raised, the scenery is as beautiful as the moon, and his face is handsome, whoever it is if it's not Xiahou Lingyuan.

"Susu hasn't slept yet, but is she waiting for me?"

Seeing that it was Xiahou Lingyuan, Su Jiabao was very happy, and hurriedly pulled him in to sit down, poured another cup of tea and put it in front of him, "Brother, why are you here?"

He was forced to recuperate at home, and he hadn't seen his brother for a few days, and his brother was probably very busy, so he didn't come to see him. After all, it seemed that the two hadn't seen each other for almost a month.

"I'm free, and I know you're going to the State Council tomorrow, so I want to come and see you."

"What are you looking at me for?"

Xiahou Lingyuan took a sip of tea, "Let's see if you are crying." Seeing Su Jiabao's eyes widened with doubts on his face, Xiahou Lingyuan continued: "Don't all children dislike going to school? I'm going to cry."

He heard that he was making fun of him, Su Jiabao did not show weakness, stood up with his waist in his arms, "Comrade Xiahou Lingyuan, there are some things that I think you need to know."

Regardless of what Comrade meant, the corners of Xiahou Lingyuan's mouth slightly raised, and his eyes signaled Su Jiabao to continue.

"First of all, I'm not a child, I'm 17 years old."

Xiahou Lingyuan nodded, "Well, I haven't reached the crown yet."

"...Secondly, I'm not the first to go to school. All the students in the capital must know my literary talents at the Yuntai Poetry Festival."

Xiahou Lingyuan asked solemnly: "How many basins in the Qingjiang River? Stones fell into the water? Xiaofang fell into the building?"

"..., this is not important, the important thing is that I am now the disciple of Ye Fengyang, the head of Xiaqi National Academy."

"Well, then what?"

"This rounding up is half a foot into the Ye family. I should be a rare talent in the literary world in the future. You have to be polite to me."

"Hey..." Su Jiabao covered his head and looked at Xiahou Lingyuan.

"This ceremony of apprenticeship is still not done yet, so you are pretending to be a tiger?" Xiahou Lingyuan laughed.

"No... Brother, no..." Su Jiabao hugged Xiahou Lingyuan's hand that was still about to be knocked off, with a flattering smile on his face, "Even if it's a fox pretending to be a tiger, I, a fox, borrow it if I want to borrow it." Brother, your majesty, my brother is the most powerful."

After hearing this, Xiahou Lingyuan's eyes darkened, and outsiders couldn't see anything unusual by the flickering candlelight.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Su Jiabao stopped talking.

"I really just came to see you." Xiahou Lingyuan said, "By the way, I will give someone something."

Saying that, Xiahou Lingyuan took out a small wooden sign, "This is your apology from Chu Yunmo."

There is an ink character engraved on the palm-sized wooden sign. Except for the strong and powerful characters, there is nothing else. It looks too ordinary. If his brother didn't take it out, he wouldn't have dropped it on the ground. to pick up.

Seeing that Su Jiabao didn't seem to want to accept it, Chu Yunmo took his hand and put the wooden token into his hand.

"Eh?" Su Jiabao was puzzled, the weight of the wooden sign seemed to be...

"This is made of the most precious wood unique to Chu Yunguo, hemlock, impervious to water, fire, and sword." Xiahou Lingyuan explained, "I know you are a small money fan, and he wanted to compensate you, so he did it for you without authorization." Dominating some of his industries."

"Property?" Su Jiabao exclaimed in surprise, "Property in Chu Yunguo?"

"Chu Yunguo also has it, and Xia Qi's capital also has it. It's too late today, so I'll take you to see it after school tomorrow."

"Okay, okay." Su Jiabao repeatedly agreed, and then asked casually: "Where is Chu Yunmo?"

Xiahou Lingyuan said: "He has already returned to his country, and he set off two days ago."

"Going back?" The joyful expression on Su Jiabao's face suddenly dropped a lot.

Chu Yunmo went back, but Xiaobao was still asleep. Xiaobao had always regarded him as a friend, and he couldn't say goodbye after leaving, and he didn't know if we could see each other again.

In fact, the one Chu Yunmo should apologize the most should be Xiaobao.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Su Jiabao's depressed mood, Xiahou Lingyuan asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's just that I don't know whether to thank him or hate him. He hurt me but also saved me. But in the final analysis, he is all for you."

Xiahou Lingyuan was silent for a while, then stepped forward to rub Su Jiabao's head, and pulled him into his arms.

He rested his chin on the top of Su Jiabao's head, closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "You can do whatever you want, and I will do whatever is owed, repaid, and demanded. As long as you don't leave me."

"No matter how dangerous it is to stay by my side, you can't leave." Xiahou Lingyuan opened his eyes, endless cold light shot from them, "I will protect you and do my best."

I seem to have only you left, Susu.
