To be honest, it's not that Gan Sui hadn't thought about the suggestion of the man in black, but when he thought that all the women in Zuihonglou were all pillows with jade arms and thousands of people, they lost their appetite for the slightest bit of red lips and thousands of guests. The other so-called heroines from aristocratic families and beauties of the rivers and lakes that he has come into contact with are not very good-looking (compared to Bai Fuling), and they especially like to put on a show and pretend to be smart. Seeing them is no different from seeing some running and moving logs.
Only Bai Fuling, every time he got close to her, he felt his heart beat faster, every inch of his body was full of anticipation and joy, he wished he could tie her by his side and never leave her for a moment. Her appearance, her voice, her smell, and even her various bad tempers made him feel tempted. From the first time he saw her, he knew that this was the woman he wanted.
At first he thought she was just a delicate young lady, but in the blink of an eye, he found out that she was a pungent little fox in sheep's clothing. He was not disappointed, but liked her even more.
Seeing her bouncing and squeaking in his anger several times, and quickly regaining her composure and trying to push him away, he knew that this woman was very difficult to handle. She was very calm and even indifferent deep in her heart. Several relatives never let anyone enter her heart, including him, even though she seemed to be very interested in him, but that was all.
Bai Fuling's background is not simple, and the people around her are more powerful than the other, especially her parents seem to be inextricably linked with Qiufengge and Qianxiaolou. He has not been able to get into these two organizations so far. , especially the latter, whose methods are even better than Tsing Yi Wei, whom the old man is proud of. Just when he was hesitating whether to spend his time controlling their family, she unexpectedly bit him...
He didn't know how to describe his mood at that time, was it shock? Believe it or not? Is it afraid? Still jumping
No one has ever been able to get so close to him, and no one has been able to "successfully surprise" him easily, because even the most trusted person around him, he still unconsciously maintains his guard.
But these Bai Fulings did it all, and he couldn't help letting her get very close to him. This can also be explained because she didn't know martial arts and because she didn't have murderous aura, so he didn't take precautions. But when she bit him, he was shocked to find that he subconsciously did not fight back.
Bai Fuling's movements are not fast, even if there is only such a small distance, he can dodge calmly, but he didn't.
Before he knew it, his body had already recognized her one step ahead of him, and removed all defenses against her. How can he not be shocked, how can he not be afraid
Should he completely solve this "potential safety hazard", or subdue her and make her completely his? He chose the latter without any hesitation, and he never suppressed his inner desire—he liked her and wanted to keep her by his side forever!
Bai Fuling's sudden mouth made him understand this fact in an instant, so he didn't have to think about anything else, just concentrate on capturing her person and her heart.
What a sweet and fun challenge!
The unhappiness caused by Bai Fuling's non-cooperation quickly calmed down, and Kansui began to plan the next step.
There is an old man in the capital, and there are two troublesome people, Yang Heng and Lu Ying. It will be inconvenient to deal with Bai Fuling. As long as she leaves the capital, preferably her parents, it will be much easier.
Because of the remnants of the Mao family, Bai Fuling's trip to Beijing has been delayed again and again, not to mention Bai Fuling, even he has exhausted his patience, and asking Lu Ying to eliminate those annoying flies is not to give him credit, but to let He personally determined the result of the battle, and then let Bai Fuling leave the capital with peace of mind.
Next, he can take care of this cunning and savage little fox.
Bai Fuling didn't sleep well at night, she huddled under the blanket in the morning and didn't get up until noon, she didn't call Ginkgo and Hongqu to come in to take care of her, she checked the injury by herself in the mirror, and then dressed and groomed herself.
Fortunately, last night, Gan Sui showed mercy and did not really bite hard. Most of the marks have faded, and some of them are still not obvious. Hanging down, all "scars" can be covered.
After wiping his face with slightly cool water, Bai Fuling went out to meet people after making sure that there was nothing wrong with his appearance.
All the luggage had been packed, and the family had lunch at the Duke's Mansion, then boarded the car and headed for the Bai Mansion. The servant girls and housekeepers all followed, and the men's entourage only brought Bai Ah Wu and Bai Ah Shi with them.
It's not yet the fifteenth day, so there's no need to go to court. Although Bai Changshan and other ministers have to "work overtime" because of the eldest prince's rebellion, the court is in chaos, but today is a big day for his son's family to move back to the White House. After asking for leave, he has been sending people to the Duke's mansion to urge him since he woke up in the morning. When his family finally arrived, his face, which had been tensed for a long time, immediately relaxed, his face was full of spring breeze, and everyone was very pleasing to the eye.
Because there is no hostess or other female relatives in the inner courtyard of the Bai family, the rest are elderly mothers, daughters-in-law and so on. Even those who are used to seeing the world can't help but look more often, not to mention the two super beauties of Mu Peilan's mother and daughter.
Because the population of the White Mansion is simple, the elderly second steward Bai Chou is in charge of the inner management. Last time, he asked Mu Peilan whether to increase the number of manpower in the inner courtyard. servant girl.
After all, their family didn't intend to stay in Beijing for a long time, so why bother, and they did have enough people around them, even if they weren't enough, what did their family do? There are not many others, the people are the most, and if they really need manpower, it is natural for Bai Qian and Bai Shu to worry about it. The whole village outside the capital belongs to their family.
Because Mu Peilan had to take care of her mother, she only came here for a formality. The family went back to the Duke's Mansion after dinner, leaving Bai Chou father and daughter to live in the White Mansion. Bai Changshan mentioned that he wanted to invite the old lady to the White Mansion to take care of her, but Fang Hai felt that it was better not to move the old lady after seeing her situation, so he had to give up. It was not easy for Bai Changshan to reunite his father and son, and he especially understood Mu Peilan's desire to do the last bit of filial piety for his mother, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
Bai Changshan took his son and granddaughter to visit around the White Mansion, and he looked like a child eager to present a treasure to the adults. Bai Fuling looked at it and secretly laughed. It's not as elegant and dignified as when they first met in the Skylark Mountain Bieyuan, but it's better this way, she doesn't want an old pedantic grandpa to take care of her and find fault with her etiquette.
The relationship between Bai Changshan and Bai Chou became more comfortable under the harmony of Bai Fuling. Sometimes the two fathers and sons would talk about current affairs together. What surprised Bai Changshan was that although his long-lost son lived in the border town for a long time, he was by no means ignorant. He knows at least a little bit about any topic he brings up, and his views on the current situation are often sharp, even better than the senior staff around him.
The more he understands Bai Chou, the more regretful he feels in his heart. This son is very knowledgeable. If he can recognize him earlier, he will become his right-hand man. He doesn't know how much he has had to worry about these years. As long as there is enough time, Bai Chou can gain a firm foothold in the court, and it will be a matter of course for him to become a prime minister after more than ten years.
Now that the time has passed, it's too late for him to think about it again... One can imagine the regret in Bai Changshan's heart.
In the blink of an eye, it was the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and Bai Fuling sent Baiguo Yangmei and the others to the other courtyard of Yunqueshan to have a party with other members of the Bai family and go to the garden, and she dragged her father to have a good talk with him before Bai Changshan was about to "officially go to work". Choices at critical moments in life.
Bai Changshan saw his son and granddaughter coming to the door together, solemnly claiming that he had important matters to discuss, but he smiled and felt a little troubled in his heart, he thought his son intended to become an official in the court, so he came to ask him for help.
He is very willing in his heart, but the timing is not right. From the perspective of ordinary people, he is in power now, and it is the time when he is in full swing, but he knows that he has actually become the target of public criticism, and his every move attracts extra attention. He is getting old, even if he wants to help Bai Chou win a place in the court, it is too late, if he is too eager for success, it will be bad, and it will ruin him forever.
But he finally recognized this son, and he really didn't want to disappoint him. Just when he was in a dilemma, but when he heard his son bluntly hoped that he would go to the court to retire, he was stunned and then his expression changed.
"Is this what you mean, or what does the emperor mean?" Bai Changshan asked with an unclear expression as he looked at the white smoke curling up from the side of the tea bowl.
"All of them." Bai Chou didn't hide the fact that Yang Heng came to remind him.
Bai Changshan glanced at Bai Fuling with a half-smile and said, "The Sixth Highness really has a heart, Ling'er and him have a good relationship."
Bai Fuling pretended not to understand the implication in his words, and said generously: "He has treated our family well so far."
Bai Changshan sighed softly and said to Bai Chou: "Father has already thought about suing the old man, and he will bring it up before the end of this year at the latest... In fact, as early as five years ago, my father mentioned it to the emperor. The situation in the capital is stable. It was the day when I asked for resignation for my father, but I never thought that the emperor would take the initiative to mention..." There was a sense of loneliness and disappointment in these words.
After a little thought, Bai Fuling understood that grandpa was willing to retire after success, but the emperor was worried, fearing that the Mao family and Xia family would fall, and he would be reluctant to part with the power in his hand when he was left alone, while Yang Heng Aware of the emperor's intentions, he warned Bai Fuling privately, and it would be best for Bai Changshan to leave before the emperor's patience ran out.
"But Ling'er, don't be too grateful to His Highness the Sixth Highness, I'm afraid he has other selfish motives in this matter!" Bai Changshan leisurely lifted the lid of the tea bowl and gently stirred the tea leaves in the bowl, said slowly.
