"Mr. Bai, what nonsense are you talking about... How can you leave with your injuries like this?"
Zheng Qihua was in a state of confusion. Seeing the handsome young man in her heart become like this, her heartache was unbearable.
Then I heard that Mr. Bai had a self-defeating and self-destructive attitude, which made me feel heartbroken and even more worried.
While talking, the girl used all her strength to push Bai Song onto the bed, wrapping him in a quilt so that he wouldn't move at all.
Bai Song was physically weak and couldn't resist others, so he had to lie down.
The man was lying down, but what little strength he had was used up in sighing.
He keeps saying that he is the right girl, but he has no shame in seeing others like this.
The girl listened, her heart full of sorrow, and whispered comfort: "Mr. Bai, there is no need to sigh. As the saying goes, a prodigal son never returns with gold, and he must know his way back. The days will be better in the future, but don't gamble again in the future.
"
Bai Song just listened, turning his head to one side as if avoiding the eyes of the girl beside the bed.
Zheng Qihua knew that this was not the time to talk, so she said goodbye in a low voice and went out.
When they got outside the door, the maid Dongxiang asked, "Master Bai, what's going on?"
Zheng Qihua had a frown on his face and just asked not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked, and then summoned a group of servants who had just learned about the matter.
Instruct Dongxiang to give them a lot of money, and then told them not to mention today's incident to anyone.
She was a girl who secretly took off a man and returned to her home. It would be unpleasant to spread the news.
Furthermore, after seeing Mr. Bai like this, she already had plans in her mind to keep Mr. Bai here.
I'm afraid that Mr. Bai will do something stupid outside without him watching.
It is rare for our lady to have a strange idea, she has a plan in her mind, and she is determined to do this.
It happened that at this time, word from my father came back from outside, saying that there was some trouble with the master's family, and the masters of each family had to go to discuss the matter, fearing that they would not be able to come back within three days.
Hearing the news, Zheng Qihua didn't care at all, but felt excited. Wouldn't it be easier to keep Mr. Bai?
Miss Zheng immediately ordered that except for a few people, the rest of the family could not go to the guest room in the past few days.
…
Zheng Qihua settled everything and returned to the guest room again.
At this time, Mr. Bai had already gotten up and was sitting at the table in a daze.
Judging from his dejected look, he must be still worried about gambling.
"Mr. Bai, are you feeling better?"
"Thank you, Miss Zheng. I'm feeling much better now."
Zheng Qihua frowned slightly: "Isn't she called Adou? Why did she become Miss Zheng again?"
Bai Song hesitated to speak: "Now that Bai is penniless, how can he be qualified to be close to Miss Zheng again?"
After hearing this, the girl was heartbroken, thinking that her father was not at home, and the servants had already made arrangements, and she became bold. The feelings hidden in her heart were slightly stirred by the pain in her heart, and they came out uncontrollably.
Sitting at the table, facing Mr. Bai, he simply stretched out his hand and gently held the other man's hand.
"I am friends with Mr. Bai, do I want Mr. Bai's money? Although I am not a member of the Zheng family, I am still in charge of the lifeline of the Zheng family. From my perspective, gold and silver are all external possessions. Mr. Bai
Don't be estranged from me because of this, it will make people's hearts hurt..."
"Zheng..." Bai Song was slightly startled and looked at the little hand holding his.
I never thought that this girl would be so bold. Although she is dressed like a lady, her actions today are not as shy as those of a lady.
This is really a different girl... If she hadn't been born in the Zheng family, maybe she could have become friends with her?
Bai Song's thoughts were wandering, thinking of some unrealistic pictures.
As the feud with the Zheng family deepened, he and the Zheng family could not reconcile after all.
Since it has been a lie to people's feelings from the beginning, it cannot be changed just because of this moment of exposure.
Bai Song was right about people. Although Miss Zheng was a young lady, she was very different from other young ladies.
In my early years, I saw the suffering of the people with my parents and lived through many hard times. I finally lived a good life, but my mother passed away again.
Since childhood, he has developed an independent temperament, otherwise his father would not dare to leave him at home without worry, and would even ask a young lady to take care of the house.
It's just that this young lady is shrewd in every aspect, but she doesn't understand emotions, and she doesn't distinguish between what's in her heart at the moment, whether it's a whim or a true love. It's just love at first sight, so there's no turning back.
Thinking about it, Zheng Qihua untied the money bag and carefully placed it on the table, covering it gently with her little hands.
It was hard for her to speak, for fear of hurting the young master's self-esteem again, but she knew in her heart that the young master was gambling for money after all. She had admitted it before, but now she was penniless, how could she feel better?
"Mr. Bai, these...these...should be regarded as being lent to you by Adou temporarily..."
After thinking about it, after saying this, he released his little hand and took out the money one by one from the purse.
Bai Song thought about what to say, but before he could speak, he couldn't help but stare when he saw the finances on the table.
The housekeeper's lady was different. She didn't hold much in her little purse, but what she took out was all gold!
"This..." Bai Song was speechless. He didn't even know how much this gold was worth.
Zheng Qihua carefully pushed the money in front of Bai Song: "Mr. Bai, please accept it. Adou is not very capable, but fortunately he has a lot of money left at home. This gold is just for display at home, but if he can solve it,
The most important thing for them is the young master’s urgent need. Adou doesn’t have any intention of humiliating him, but... he just can’t bear the young master to feel so uncomfortable..."
"Miss Zheng... Bai really doesn't know..."
"Mr. Bai, I told you not to call me miss."
"Adou."
"Yeah." Zheng Qihua responded crisply. Listening to Mr. Bai's tone, he knew that the other party didn't care too much about this matter, and he felt much better.
When he was feeling relieved, he went to see Mr. Bai again and gently pushed him back: "Mr. Bai accepts Ms. Adou's friendship with my heart, but I can't take the money."
"Why? Mr. Bai doesn't need to mind, there is really no shortage of money at home."
Bai Song gave a wry smile: "Bai has traveled around the world and knows the general trend of the world. In today's Tang Dynasty, aristocratic families from all over the world are in decline. Take my Bai family as an example. In the early years, we were considered the richest in Shu. We had enough food and clothing.
There is no shortage of money. However, with the changes in the current situation in recent years, many literati in the world are no longer relied on by aristocratic families, and aristocratic families in various places have lost the means to make money in the past. Naturally, the family's money is getting less and less day by day.
In the past two years, life at home has been even more difficult. I have no choice but to travel around the world, trying to find another way out for the Bai family. Unfortunately, I have traveled most of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is Chang'an, Luoyang, or Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yanghuai, the lives of aristocratic families everywhere are...
They are quite poor. I have also heard about the Zheng family in Youzhou. The Zheng family does not have many extra connections. It is rumored that like my Bai family, they rely on making money from seal writing for literati from all over the country. It is good to keep the appearance bright.
Now, Adou can't secretly take the family's savings for me."
"Mr. Bai, what are you talking about? Even if Adou doesn't understand the rules, he won't do those sneaky things. All the money is Adou's own, and Adou can give it to whomever he likes. Adou likes Young Master,
I voluntarily give it to the young master, and no one can rely on it..."
Zheng Qihua spoke anxiously and blurted out "I like it". After the words were broken, she realized she was shy and tilted her head to look to one side, with a stroke of red on her face.
Bai Song's mind was elsewhere and he really didn't hear these words. Now he was confused. Looking at Miss Zheng's words, it didn't seem like she was lying. The world's nobles were not living well, but this Zheng family seemed to
There is no shortage of money to spend.
Moreover, Zheng Qihua is only a sideline, and the young lady from the sideline can just take out a bag of gold? How rich is the Zheng family?
Bai Song has already inquired, and the Zheng family does not have any unnecessary business dealings.
I can't find any input at all.
The only rumor is that part of the Zheng family's money is loaned outside.
The profit from money lending is not small, but it’s not that rich, right?
Zheng Qihua looked at Bai Song thoughtfully, and quickly stuffed all the gold: "Young master, don't worry too much, Adou doesn't ask for anything else, I just want you to get money, don't give up on yourself, even if you don't live up to Adou's madness...
Very kindhearted."
Bai Song no longer shied away, took the money, and asked again: "Then the Zheng family is really not short of money?"
"Sir, don't even think about it."
"I can't help but think about how the Zheng family is not short of money? Please tell Adou that I travel all over the world to make a living for the family. Both the Zheng family and the Bai family are prominent families. If there is any way for the Zheng family to make money, believe me Bai
Everyone can follow this example, Adou..."
After saying this, a trace of panic clearly flashed across Zheng Qihua's face. She leaned back and interrupted repeatedly: "Young Master, Adou only knows from a side branch. How...how do you know about the important events in the clan?"
"But I heard that Adou often helps his father with his accounts..."
"This..." Zheng Qihua panicked even more. Because he was concerned and didn't want to be perfunctory, he didn't know where to start.
Bai Song was a little flustered after saying this. In a moment of urgency, these words could easily reveal his feelings, so he quickly changed his words: "Hey... forget it... it was Bai who was abrupt."
Zheng Qihua didn't think much about it, he just thought about how to resolve the matter quickly.
Hearing that Mr. Bai didn't want to talk about it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zheng Qihua didn't say it, but Bai Song knew it in his heart.
This Miss Zheng must know some secret information, and may be the crux of the Zheng family's problem.
If she refuses to say anything today, there is always a way to find out.
After repeated setbacks, I finally received some gratifying news today.
I wanted to contact Zheng Qihua again today, but after finding that there was no useful information on him, I stopped pestering him.
After all, Bai Song didn't want to be a liar, but he still wanted to deceive a little girl's feelings.
But after hearing all this, Bai Song could only say a deep apology in his heart, this scene could not end like this.
"Mr. Bai, you haven't recovered well yet. Please stay with me for three days and check your condition before making any decision."
"This... I'm afraid it's inconvenient."
"It's just a temporary measure. Don't worry, sir. Adou has taken care of the servants in the family, and no rumors will spread."
"Then Mr. Bai has been shamelessly harassing me for a few days."
