The Black Sheep (The Black Horse) - Chapter 68
Most of a tree wants to have deep roots and luxuriant leaves, with a well-developed root system hidden deep underground, in order to achieve spring flowers and autumn fruits and vigorous vitality.
Huaiyang Hou Mansion was like a big tree. When Zhou Wang turned the two Huai officialdoms, he could dig out the roots hidden under the ground in Huaiyang Hou Mansion from time to time, making Huaiyang Hou also unable to sit still.
The second son of Huaiyang Houfu, Zongfeng, was invited to the study by the steward of the Bai family. He served fragrant tea and cakes. The steward repeatedly apologized: “Second son is sitting wide. My seventeenth man is in front of the party. He drank a lot of wine and did some sorting Come here.”
When Zong Feng came, he was repeatedly instructed by Zong Heng that he must put down his arrogance today, and it is best to have friendship with Bai Shichipan—of course in his personal capacity, not the Lord Houfu.
Everyone was hanging around in Suzhou Mansion, and there were occasions to meet each other, but the circle of mixing was different. Zong Feng was often surrounded by a group of officials from small yams. Most of Bai Shiqi’s fox friends and dogs were rich, with Zhao Ziheng being an exception.
Zong Feng was sitting in the study of Bo’s family, recalling the handsome appearance of Bai Seventeen with red lips and white teeth. He was an unrelenting temperament, and his reputation for romance had spread throughout. He didn’t expect to be a daughter, which was unexpected.
He is not shy about female sex, no matter how violent the brothel girl is, he can’t stand his torment. Thinking of his daughter, Bai Shiqi, he feels itchy.
Bai Shiqi went back to the backyard, changed his clothes and poured a bowl of hangover soup, before going to the study to see Zongfeng.
“The second son is coming, and Bai has missed a long way to welcome him, and hopes to forgive him.”
Zong Feng was unexpectedly good today: “Where is the boss of Bo Bai? We did not meet each other less in the past, but we have never had the opportunity to get close. I heard that today the leader of Bo Bo succeeded to the throne, and a special gift came to congratulate him.”
The Cao Gang had no contact with the Huaiyang Hou Mansion, and Qian Sai also secretly took refuge in the Huaiyang Hou Mansion. After all, the Hou Mansion dug the corner of the Cao Gang. When did the two have a friendship to congratulate each other?
Bai Shiqi said: “Weasel is giving New Year greetings to the rooster, are you not at ease?
On her face she only pretended to be silly and panic: “Second Young Master is noble, and Bai Mou is nothing but a rash, how can this be worthy?”
Zong Feng carefully examined Bai Shiqi’s appearance, regretting in his heart: I knew Bai Shiqi was a woman, so I should have started early!
Although the woman in front of her is not as charming as the girls in the brothel, she has another vitality. I don’t know how exciting she is when she is whiplashed.
His mind was full of unbearable imagination, but his face was almost filled with smiles: “Why should Shichi Lang be polite to me? You also know that I am the second son and not the son of Hou Fu. What is noble or noble?”
Huaiyang Hou Shizi Zongsi and Zong Feng were not the same female compatriots, and often stabbed him to the Huaiyang Hou the troubles he had caused. Therefore, the two brothers were drawn to each other, and sometimes even the superficial politeness could not be maintained.
The name of the elder son was determined early, Zong Fengsheng was favored by his mother, and a younger sibling was born in the back, so the two often matched each other in front of Huaiyang Hou.
Bai Shiqi thought: Your name is also yours? On the face, only gratitude appeared, and he urged narrowly: “Where did the second son say? There are many guests from outside today. It is better to ask the second son to have a swig with everyone at the front table, so that everyone can see and see the son of Hou Men. The style?”
The Lord Hou Men condescended to come to Caogang to send gifts, and he still has to accompany a group of ordinary people to drink, wouldn’t he lose his worth?
Zong Feng despised Bai Seventeen for not knowing etiquette. He smiled amicably on his face and declined: “There is really something to be done. I will post to you in two days and open another table in Baihualou to congratulate him. Do you have to appreciate it?”
Bai Seventeen: “Definitely!”
She sent Zong Feng away with her kind words, and when she arrived at the banquet in front, Shu Changfeng brought people to bring a congratulatory gift. A group of sergeants in armor appeared in the front hall of the Bai family banquet guests and was shocked. The jaws of countless people.
Everyone can’t help but talk quietly.
“I heard that Zhou Wang and Bai Shiqi had a very close relationship. So the rumors are true?”
“If it’s not true, why do you come with great fanfare to give gifts?”
“The brothers don’t have to wait and see. Even if Bai Shiqi is a woman who succeeds to the throne and has that asylum, he won’t be left behind and regenerate civil strife. We can rest assured and continue with Caobang cooperation.”
“makes sense.”
“…”
The new leader of the Caobang took office. The old customers were called congratulations, but they were actually waiting and watching. I was afraid that Bai Shiqi could not manage the checkpoints along the way and could not load the goods according to the appointment. Let everyone put their hearts in their stomachs.
Bai Zhenting was so happy that he even forgot the pain of the wound. He even drank several cups against the doctor’s advice. Huang Youbi, who was the guest, poached him several times.
Master Huang Youbi attended the feast of Bai Shiqi’s successor gang today. The master heard a little wind from Bai Shiqi. It is said that Zhou Wang has been thoroughly investigating the Huaiyang Marquis and is very happy, except for staring at the patient Bai. Zhen Ting also has a soft spot for the wine jars on the table and has already drunk a lot.
The apprentice accompanies the master to drink, but the drink is boring and desolate. His eyes are tied like a silk thread to Bai Shiqi who is engaged in the dinner, and he keeps pulling.
“You still keep your eyes closed, don’t fall on someone else to pick it up.”
Huang Youbi has always spoken directly, and even more rude to his disciples.
Zhu Shoumei’s skin became tight, and she always felt a little dry in her throat, so she drank a glass of wine to moisturize her throat: “…I’m just a little worried, Shichi is still hurt.”
“She knows what she is doing. It is good to be the leader of the water gang? Can she sit on the water boat without taking care of the relationship between the parties? What is the point of injury? There will be many things to lose your life in the future. If you can’t let it go , Just make a choice altogether, so that you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Master looks at me too high.” Zhu Shoumei laughed at herself: “Even if I had the intention, Seventeen had no intention of it. She treated me as her own brother. Apart from seeing a doctor and taking medicine, I can’t do anything else. What can I do for her?”
If Bai Shiqi is an ordinary woman who is indulging in love for his children, he can instead use a mixed solution to pester her, because they are all fierce women who are afraid of her husband.
But in her bones, she loves adventure by nature, and she can see that she also enjoys the current life very much. When she is a little helper, she looks good, and she will do her duty even more if she wants to be a helper.
Life is just like a boat, with the water flowing eastward, I don’t know which river will part ways.
He wants to carry forward the master’s medical skills, hang the pot to help the world, travel around the world, and solve the people’s distressed diseases, but Bai Shiqi loves the Caogang, and wants to lead the brothers in the help to live a good life without fear of danger.
“Master, it’s time to wait for things in Suzhou. I want to travel around and see some intractable diseases, which is also good for medical skills.” He looked at the energetic Bai Seventeen from a distance and suddenly felt this way. It’s also pretty good.
Huang Youbi smiled and took a sip of wine: “Have you thought about it?”
“Yeah.” Zhu Shoumei drank the wine in one gulp, only to feel that it burned from her throat to her stomach, a hot slice, and choked with tears.
The day after Bai’s banquet, Bai Shiqi received Zongfeng’s invitation.
She took the invitation and went to the prefect of Suzhou to find King Zhou.
The prefect of Suzhou has been locked and taken to prison due to corruption of ink and malfeasance. Zhou Wang has recently been in the prefect’s yamen to handle official duties and sit and lie.
The soldiers guarding the gate passed all the way in, and soon Shu Changfeng came to lead people in.
“The boss of the Boss is only succeeding, so how can I have spare time to come over?”
“Are you making fun of me? Didn’t Your Highness say that I can come to him whenever I want?”
When the two were separated last time, Bai Shiqi brought her injuries to Gaoyou to look for Bai Zhenting. When she returned to Suzhou with Bai Zhenting, Zhou Wang went to the Bai’s house to see the patient, but Bai Shiqi was busy with help. , No time to meet, or come back from busy to listen to Bo Zhenting mentioned a little.
Shu Changfeng smiled and said: “I’m not afraid that Bai will help the Lord and the people? His Royal Highness hopes that Bai will come here every day.”
“Didn’t I come here as soon as I have time”
The two entered the inner ya unimpeded all the way, Shu Changfeng led people in, and backed out by himself, standing at the door with a smile, directing the maid of the former prefect’s yamen to make tea, and said in his heart: Can be regarded as looking forward to people. His words, “His Royal Highness, hopes that Bai will come over for the Lord every day” is not a false statement, but a real truth.
Bai Qiyi stepped into the inner office and saw that Zhou Wang was sitting in front of the book table, struggling to write, his expression was serious, his brows were about to be twisted, and he stood silently and just stared at him.
King Zhou also came in as someone under his hand to report the matter, and he was busy with the official document at his hand. He waited a quarter of an hour to finish writing. When he looked up, he was shocked: “Seventeen?” At that moment, joy burst into his eyes, making him always cold. Su’s face was actually stained with warmth.
Bai Shiqi smiled twice: “Who are you?”
King Zhou got up, walked around the book case in strides, and stood three steps away from her. The two of them met each other and asked in unison: “How is your injury?”
After asking, I was shocked.
This is something that has never happened before.
Zhou Wang didn’t care that the two of them had such a tacit understanding, and the smile on his face was hard to hide. He looked at her up and down, and looked at her spirit. It’s okay: “Seeing that she has lost a lot of weight, and there are red blood in her eyes. You recently rested Is it bad?”
Bai Shiqi also looked at him carefully: “His Royal Highness still has a black color right now, and he has lost a lot of weight. Isn’t it possible that you have not rested well recently?”
The two people asked each other’s questions and threw them back to each other, and they couldn’t help but smile again.
Zhou Wang smiled helplessly: “I can see that Helper Bo is more busy than I am recently. I just don’t know what happened to the busy people?”
Bai Shiqi touched the wound: “Able to eat, sleep, run and jump, I was so drunk that I drank yesterday. I always feel that I still smell of alcohol today, so don’t smoke your Highness.” Zhou Wang blocked a sword for her, and the two of them were not comfortable with each other.
Something has quietly changed without knowing it.
