After hearing this, Jiang Zheng understood a truth. There was only one official position gap between Shangshu and Vice Minister, but there was an invisible gap between them.
Anyone who can sit in this position can never be deceived by his appearance.
A seemingly simple meeting seemed to have been clearly arranged by this old fox.
…
Lu Yao arrived at the Prince Consort's Mansion again, but did not see Bai Song.
After some inquiring, I found out that Bai Song had gone to Qianzhuang, so he immediately changed his route to Dongshi.
Bai Song arrived at the bank today, euphemistically saying that he wanted to check the accounts and inquire about the progress of some urban reconstruction.
In fact, it has another purpose.
There is also a grudge woman hidden in the small bank. You have been around several women at home these days, and the one at the bank is already unhappy.
I came here today mainly to comfort and comfort this resentful woman, and then babbling in that small woodshed without a bed.
Since the last experience, Qing'er seems to have fallen in love with this style. She doesn't like lying down, but likes standing, saying it feels better.
Seeing that the palace examination was getting closer and closer, Qing'er was a little worried about gains and losses, and would always remind Bai Song that Emperor Bai Song's marriage gift included her own name.
While Bai Song was working hard, he made sure that he would never forget his baby Qing'er.
Also coming with Bai Song is Bai Rou.
Bai Rou is now the second in charge of the family. The little girl is already thoroughly familiar with business and likes this kind of thing.
As her brother's only blood relative, Bai Rou wanted to help her brother from the bottom of her heart. She could not become a little white rabbit kept in captivity at home, nor could she become like Sang Sang.
Although Sang Sang and Bai Rou were young, they each had their own pursuits and took different paths when they grew up.
Sangsang likes to play with flowers and plants at home, watch over a few pet cats, and looks forward to Big Brother Bai coming home every day without any pursuit.
Bai Rou wanted to be a crown princess because she wanted to be her brother's help. When she couldn't achieve such a grand wish, all she could do was do what she could to reduce her brother's burden as much as possible.
When they arrived at the bank, Bai Rou counted all the accounts, even if it was something Qing'er had seen, she still had to read it herself.
In Bai Rou's heart, this Qing'er was a witch after all. She couldn't trust this woman, at least not as trustworthy as Sang Sang and her sister-in-law.
Therefore, everything in the bank must be confirmed by yourself.
Bai Rou struggled for a long time and finally finished all the things she needed to do last night. She wandered around the backyard thinking about whether she had missed anything.
There was always movement in the small woodshed, and the little girl didn't know how many times she rolled her eyes at the small woodshed.
The voices of men and women have eroded Bairou's nerves.
There are sounds like this at home every night.
The little girl really didn't understand. Is this really so good?
My brother is good at everything, but he is too perverted.
From now on, your man must fall in love with you, unless he is as good as your brother.
As soon as the thought flashed through her mind, Bai Rou's face turned red. She quickly shook her head, pinched her face, and secretly cursed herself for being so shameless. What were she thinking about?
But once such thoughts arise, it is difficult to control them.
After nothing happened, Bai Rou stood alone in the yard with her own thoughts, looking at the small woodshed from time to time, and then leaning over there uncontrollably.
At some point, I was standing by the window of the small woodshed, looking through the crack in the window to see what was going on inside.
At this age, Bai Rou loves to fantasize, but no matter how much she thinks about it at night, she can never imagine such a real scene. She is fascinated by it at first sight. She wonders if she is taking on the role of herself, and swallows a sip of water.
That little face was so hot that I could probably fry an egg directly.
Suddenly, Lu Yao's voice appeared behind Bai Rou.
"Is Bai Song here?"
"ah!"
Bai Rou screamed in fright, as if she had been caught and raped on the spot, and she didn't dare to look back to see who it was.
The man pushed the window open, slithered into the room like a mouse, and then held the window tightly.
"ah!"
Another scream.
Qing'er was so frightened that she almost fainted. She huddled in Bai Song's arms and didn't dare to raise her head.
"You damn girl, you, you, you... you are seeking death!"
Bai Song also felt uncomfortable. He pointed at Bai Rou and wanted to slap her twice, but there was nothing on him, so he had to turn around and stay still.
Bai Rou was so scared that she covered her mouth: "Oh, I...I, I, I...I didn't see anything."
His mouth was covered and his words were slurred, but his eyes were wide open, for fear of missing something key.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Bai Song came out of the small woodshed. The two women hid in the woodshed and did not dare to go out to see anyone.
Lu Yao waited outside until the flowers withered. When he saw Bai Song coming out, he looked up and down, his eyes full of suspicion.
"You...what are you doing in there?"
"Ahem... tell me what's wrong."
Lu Yao smiled for a rare moment, patted Bai Song on the shoulder, and whispered, "I still have many things I want to ask you for advice."
Bai Song was speechless, thinking that he would take care of Bai Rou that night, she was getting more and more outrageous.
Later, Lu Yao explained his purpose.
Bai Song was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm not interested in this kind of thing."
"That's not possible, you have to agree to this."
"Why?"
"This is about my face, and it is a rare opportunity."
"Opportunity? What the hell chance. I can't deal with the women in my family now. If I go out to flirt with women, if my family finds out, I will definitely be scolded."
"It doesn't matter to me whether you take the flowers or not. If you go tomorrow, I will have the opportunity to be alone with Miss Hou. This is not your opportunity, this is my opportunity. And my opportunity is related to your future, for yours
In the future, do you think you should be rewarded?"
Bai Song was stunned for a moment, thinking that what Lu Yao said was quite reasonable, and he hesitated at the moment.
"How far have you and Miss Lu developed?"
Lu Yao proudly took out the handkerchief, and Bai Song was overjoyed when he saw it: "We have all the tokens of love."
Lu Yao put the handkerchief on the tip of his nose and smelled it. He was a little proud, but also a little hesitant: "Ms. Hou is a slow-moving person. She will always have a good impression in her heart and will not reveal it easily. It is difficult for your evidence to be exposed in such a slow and leisurely manner.
Let’s talk to Hou Junji before it’s exposed. I’m going out tomorrow and I’m going to make a quick buck.”
"What are your plans?"
"Huh, you don't need to worry about this. Some things become a variable once you know them. I'm different from you. I have no worries about achieving my goals. If you knew, you wouldn't agree with me.
How to do it, and now I don’t even have time to listen to your explanation.”
Bai Song thought about it but didn't take it seriously. Since Lu Yao was already prepared, he definitely couldn't hang the chain, so he readily agreed.
…
The next day, Miss Hou Zheng of the Hou family invited Lu Yao, Bai Song, and Miss Zhang Yuhan to swim in the Yong'an River together.
They are all children of government officials, and Miss Hou generously chartered a flower boat.
At three quarters, Miss Hou was the first to wait at the ferry.
The maid Hou Zheng brought was also a Hongmi. Hearing that there was a young master Bai from the Song Dynasty today, he asked the lady: "Miss, do you think the Red Mansion was written by Mr. Bai? No one has heard of that Cao Xueqin at all.
No one has seen it, but the lady said that Mr. Bai took out the book."
Hou Zheng has also thought about this issue.
However, judging from the existing manuscripts of Honglou, we can see that Honglou's writing style is different from, but also similar to, Bai Gongzi's writing style in the past.
The similarity among them is that the four chrysanthemum poems, the brushwork and the angle of description are particularly consistent.
But think again about Mr. Bai’s crab poem.
I feel that the person who wrote The Red Mansion would not say something like "I have no pleasure in my life."
When meeting Bai Song today, Miss Hou also had her own selfish motives. She wanted to have a serious interview with this person, hoping to find some clues from his tone of voice.
Hearing the maid's question, Miss Hou Zhenghou smiled slyly: "This question will be resolved later."
What else did the little maid want to ask? Bai Song and Lu Yao arrived in front.
Miss Hou's eyes lit up, and she rushed up with her maid to greet him.
"Master Lu, Master Bai, and Hou Zheng are polite."
"Hello, Miss Hou."
Lu and Bai spoke in sync and greeted each other together.
Miss Hou was dressed very exquisitely today. Even Bai Song was caught in the eye and looked up and down for a long time.
Miss Hou openly enjoyed the gazes of the two young masters without any shyness. When they had seen enough, she called the maid behind her and asked the maid to escort the two young masters to the boat first.
Lu and Bai arrived on the boat and saw that there was no one around. Lu Yao asked somewhat proudly: "How is it? How does Miss Hou compare with the ladies in your family?"
"Hahaha..." Bai Song smiled and gave Lu Yao a thumbs up, "You have good taste. Last time I saw Miss Hou, I didn't see her with such beauty. Today, she is dressed extraordinarily. I don't know if it's for you or me."
"Haha." Lu Yao also laughed heartily and said mysteriously, "No matter who you are, you and I are blessed. I heard that Miss Zhang Yuhan is even more beautiful than Miss Hou, and she is said to be the number one beauty in the six movies.
"
"What the hell? The best among the six movies?"
Bai Song really couldn't understand what this name meant.
Lu Yao explained: "Six bureaus! Officials, households, etiquette, soldiers, punishments, and work! Among all the ladies in official residences in the 6 bureaus, Miss Zhang Yuhan and Zhang are the first!"
"Isn't it true? It's so mysterious?"
"How much more can I lie to you? You'll know when you meet me later. Anyway, when I was on duty, those on duty often talked about how Miss Zhang could make all the courtesans in Chang'an lose their luster. Who would marry her?
, I will be exhausted within three days.”
Bai Song smiled and shook his head repeatedly.
This feeling is quite good. I am not looking forward to the first love, but I have a brother who can talk about women freely. A woman who is originally a good or bad woman will suddenly have more flavor after the sexual intercourse between two men.
It will become ten points.
Bai Song looked at the ferry and found that the Miss Zhang family hadn't arrived yet.
Look, it's getting late too.
At this time, Miss Hou was also a little worried. She knew that the Zhang family member was very repulsive and wondered if he would come today.
Just as I was thinking about it, a carriage stopped at the ferry, and Miss Zhang came.
