Most of the time, if a tree wants to have deep roots and luxuriant leaves, it must have a developed root system hidden deep in the ground, in order to achieve spring flowers and autumn fruits, and flourish.
The Marquis of Huaiyang's mansion is like a big tree. When the King of Zhou was turning over the officialdom of the two Huaiyang provinces, he would dig out the roots hidden in the ground of the Marquis of Huaiyang's mansion, making the Marquis of Huaiyang unable to sit still.
Zong Feng, the second son of the Hou family of Huaiyang, was invited to the study by the steward of the Bai family, and served fragrant tea and cakes. Just come."
When Zong Feng came, he was repeatedly told by Zong Heng that he must put down the air today, and it is best to have a friendship with Bai Shiqi - of course, in his personal capacity, not as a son of the Houfu.
Everyone lives in Suzhou, and there are occasions where they meet each other, but the circles are different. Zong Feng is often surrounded by a group of officials and small offices. Most of Bai Shiqi's friends are rich, and Zhao Ziheng is an exception.
Zong Feng was sitting in the Bo family's study, recalling Bai Shiqi's handsome appearance with red lips and white teeth. He was also a shy personality, and his reputation had spread all over the world, but he didn't expect to be a daughter, which was really unexpected.
He is not taboo on women's sex, no matter how savage a brothel woman is, he can't stand his torture. Thinking of his daughter's Bo Shiqi, he actually feels itchy.
Bai Shiqi went back to the backyard, changed his clothes, and poured a bowl of hangover soup before heading to the study to see Zong Feng.
"Second Young Master is here, and Bai has made a loss to welcome him, and I hope to forgive him."
Zong Feng was surprisingly easy to talk about today: "What's wrong with the gang leader Bai? We didn't meet too often in the past, but we never had the chance to get close. I heard that the gang leader Bai succeeded to the throne today, and I specially prepared a generous gift to congratulate him."
The Cao Gang and Huaiyang Marquis Mansion have never had contact, and Qian Sai secretly took refuge in the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion. After all, the Hou Mansion has dug up the Cao Gang's corner.
Bai Shiqi said in his heart: The weasel greets the chicken for the New Year.
On her face, she just pretended to be stupid and panicked: "Second son has a noble status, and Bai is just a reckless person. How can he be worth it?"
Zong Feng took a closer look at Bai Shiqi's appearance, and regretted in his heart: If he knew that Bai Shiqi was a woman, he should have started earlier!
Although the girl in front of her is not as charming as the girls in the brothel, she has another vitality. I don't know what kind of soul-stirring she will be when she is whipped.
His mind was full of unbearable imaginations, but there was a smile on his face: "Why should Shiqiang be polite to me, you also know that I am the second son, not the prince of the Houfu, what is noble or not noble?"
The princes of Huaiyang Marquis Zong Si and Zong Feng were not siblings, and they often stabbed his troubles to the Marquis of Huaiyang. Therefore, the two brothers were at war with each other, and sometimes even the surface politeness could not be maintained.
The title of heir was determined early, Zong Fengsheng was favored by his own mother, and later gave birth to a series of younger siblings, so the two could often compete with each other in front of the Marquis of Huaiyang.
Bai Shiqi thought to himself, "You're also the young master?" There was only a look of gratitude on his face, and he said narrowly: "What did the second son say? There are many guests outside today, why don't you invite the second son to the front seat and have a drink with everyone, so that everyone can see the Houmen son. style?"
Young Master Houmen condescended to come to Cao Gang to send congratulations, and he had to accompany a group of common people to drink, wouldn't he lose his worth
Zong Feng despised Bai Shiqi for not understanding etiquette, and declined with a kind smile on his face: "I really still have things to do, I will post a post to you in two days, and open another table in Baihua Building to congratulate Shi Shilang. Do you have to appreciate it?"
Bai Shiqi: "Definitely!"
She sent Zong Feng away with good words and good words, and when she arrived at the banquet in front, Shu Changfeng brought someone to carry the congratulatory gifts. A team of sergeants in armor appeared in the front hall of the banquet guests of the Bai family, shocked. The jaws of countless people.
The crowd could not help but discuss quietly.
"I heard that Zhou Wang and Bai Shiqi have a close relationship, so the rumors are true?"
"If it's not true, why would you send a congratulatory gift with such a big fanfare?"
"The brothers don't have to wait and see. Even if Bai Shiqi is a woman and takes over as the leader, with the protection of that person, if you think about it, you won't be left behind, and there will be another civil strife. We can rest assured and continue to work with us. Cao Gang cooperation."
"makes sense."
"… "
The new leader of the Cao Gang took office. The old customers in the past were named Dao He. In fact, they were watching. I was afraid that Bai Shiqi would not be able to manage the checkpoints along the way, and could not carry the goods according to the appointment. Let people put their hearts in their stomachs.
Bai Zhenting was so happy in his heart that he even forgot the pain of the wound. He also drank several glasses against the doctor's orders, and Huang Youbi, who was invited as a guest, poked him several times.
Huang Youbi's master and apprentice all attended the banquet of Bai Shiqi's successor as the leader of the gang. The master heard a little bit of wind from Bai Shiqi. It is said that Zhou Wang has already thoroughly investigated the Marquis of Huaiyang, and he is very happy. Zhen Ting also has a soft spot for the wine jar on the table, and has already drank a lot.
The apprentice accompanies the master to drink, but the drink is tasteless and dejected. His eyes are like silk threads on Bai Shiqi, who is entertaining at the banquet, and he keeps pulling and pulling.
"You still close your eyes, don't fall on others and can't get them back."
Huang Youbi has always spoken directly, and is even more rude to his disciples.
Zhu Shoumei's face tightened, and she always felt her throat was a little dry, so she hurriedly drank a glass of wine to moisten her throat: "...I'm just a little worried, Seventeen is still injured."
"She knows what she's doing, and the leader of the Cao Gang is a good one? If you don't take care of all parties, can you sit on the Cao boat? What is it to be injured a little, there will be many things that will lose your life in the future. If you can't let go , let's just make a choice, so as not to lose and worry about it."
"Master also thinks of me too highly." Zhu Shoumei laughed at herself: "Even if I have intentions, Seventeen has no intentions. She treats me as her own brother. Apart from seeing a doctor and taking medicine, I can't do anything else. How can I help her?"
If Bai Shiqi was an ordinary woman and indulged in a long-term relationship, he could instead use all his skills to pester her. They are all strong girls who are afraid of being pestered by their husbands.
But she is born with a love for adventure, and it can be seen that she is also enjoying the current life.
Life is like sailing a boat, flowing with the water, and parting ways without knowing which river.
He wants to carry forward the master's medical skills, hang the pot to help the world, travel around the world, and relieve the people's distress and diseases, but Bai Shiqi loves the Cao Gang, and wants to lead the brothers in the Gang to live a good life without fear of hardships and dangers.
"Master, I'll be waiting for Suzhou for a while. I want to travel around and see some incurable diseases. It's also good for medical skills." He looked at the high-spirited Bai Shiqi from a distance and suddenly felt this way Also good.
Huang Youbi smiled and took a sip of wine: "Have you made up your mind?"
"Well." Zhu Shoumei drank the glass of wine in one gulp, only to feel that it was burned from the throat to the stomach, a hot piece, and choked out tears.
The day after the Bai family banquet, Bai Shiqi received an invitation from Zong Feng.
She took the invitation and went to the yamen of the prefect of Suzhou to find Zhou Wang.
The prefect of Suzhou has been locked up and imprisoned due to greed and dereliction of duty. The King of Zhou has recently been handling official business in the prefect's yamen, both sitting and sleeping.
The soldiers guarding the gate passed all the way in, and soon Shu Changfeng personally came to bring people in.
"The leader of the gang just succeeded, how can you come here when you have time?"
"Are you making fun of me? Didn't His Highness say that I can come to him whenever I want?"
When the two separated last time, it was Bai Shiqi who went to Gaoyou to look for Bai Zhenting with an injury. When she brought Bai Zhenting back to Suzhou, Zhou Wang went to Bai's house to visit the doctor, but Bai Shiqi was busy with helping. , I didn't have time to meet, so I came back after I was busy and listened to Bai Zhenting's brief mention.
Shu Changfeng said with a smile, "I'm not afraid that the boss of the Bai Gang will be busy with other people's affairs? Your Highness would like the Bai Gang to come over on Sundays."
"Didn't I come here as soon as I have time?"
The two entered the inner yamen unimpeded all the way, Shu Changfeng led people in, backed out by himself, stood at the door and smiled, and instructed the maid of the former magistrate's yamen to make tea, thinking: It can be regarded as a hope for people. His words, "His Royal Highness would like to help Bo to come here on Sundays" is not a false statement, but a real truth.
Bai Shiqiyi stepped into the inner ya, and saw that King Zhou was sitting in front of the desk, writing quickly, with a serious expression, and his brows were about to knit together, so he stood there silently, just staring at him.
King Zhou also came in to report things as his subordinates, and was busy with the official documents at hand. He waited for a quarter of an hour to finish writing, and when he looked up, he was shocked: "Seventeen?" At that moment, the joy in his eyes made him always cold. Su's face was actually stained with a bit of warmth.
Bai Shiqi laughed twice: "Who are you?"
Zhou Wang got up, walked around the desk with great strides, stood three steps away from her, and the two of them looked at each other and asked at the same time, "How is your injury?"
I was stunned after asking.
This is something that has never happened before.
Zhou Wang was not surprised that the two had such a tacit understanding, and the smile on his face was hard to hide. He looked her up and down, and saw that she was in good spirits: "Look, you have lost a lot of weight, and there are red blood in your eyes. You have recently rested. bad?"
Bai Shiqi also looked at him carefully: "His Royal Highness is still blue and black, and he has lost a lot of weight. Is it not good to rest recently?"
The two asked each other questions and threw them back at each other, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Zhou Wang smiled helplessly: "I can see that the gang leader Bai has been busier than me recently. I just don't know how the busy person's injury is?"
Bai Shiqi touched the wound: "I can eat, sleep, run and jump, and I was very drunk yesterday. I always feel that I still smell of alcohol today, so don't smoke your Highness." King Zhou blocked a sword for her, and the two of them were no longer comfortable with each other.
Something has quietly changed before you know it.
