Dawei Fanghua

Chapter 23 After squeezing it dry

When Bai returned to the house, her face was still very ugly. The slaves all shrank their necks when they saw her, for fear of getting into trouble.

The time on the road just now did not calm her down. On the contrary, after a period of aftertaste and brewing, the anger that could not be spread on Qin Liang's head had nowhere to be released.From time to time she felt a little regretful, thinking about how some two sentences were not strong enough and how she should have stabbed the boy.

After walking through the corridor in the backyard, Bai glanced at the female slave guarding the platform and asked, "Are you still in there?"

A female slave said, "According to the lady's instructions, the girl is not even half a step away."

Bai opened the door and walked in.

Wang Xuanji, who was kneeling by the back window, turned her head and glanced, but did not get up.After Mrs. Bai stepped forward and knelt down opposite the cases, Wang Xuanji finally asked: "Did my mother really go to Qin Liangxing to question him?"

Bai was so angry that he didn't say a word, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Wang Xuanji sighed quietly, looking from Bai's face to the window. She said feebly: "What does it have to do with others? It's embarrassing. I don't want to go out recently, why does my mother want people to watch me?"

Bai, who was already in a bad mood, suddenly felt a "buzz" in his head when he heard these words.She immediately leaned over and reached over, stretched out her hand to pinch Wang Xuanji's arm, and then turned her hand violently, even her body deflected along with it.

Wang Xuanji gritted her teeth and made a muffled "hmm" sound from her nose.When Bai Shi let her go, she reached out to cover the place where she was pinched, and buried her head so hard that she didn't make a sound.Bai couldn't see her eyes and didn't know if she was crying.

Instead, Mrs. Bai cried. She wiped her dry eyes with her sleeves and choked, "If you don't look at anything else, you should also look at my kindness in raising you through so many years of hard work."

After sobbing for a while, seeing that Wang Xuanji still buried her head in silence and showed no response, Bai sobbed again, "Whose credit is it for you to be able to live the life you are living now? Without me, you would have had no choice but to be a singer and dancer!" "

Wang Xuanji slowly raised her head and whispered: "It's better to do kabuki."

Bai knew clearly that she was speaking out of anger, but she still said in a deep voice with a stern tone: "You really don't understand the dangers of the world. I'll tell you what the consequences will be if you do tricks!"

She continued, "When you are a teenager, you only need to sing and dance. Don't be complacent. As you get older, you have to serve the guests who come to the house. Sleep with this person and sleep with that person. Maybe you can meet a young and elegant person." Mr. Lang, you may also meet someone with gray hair, yellow teeth and smelly teeth. Can you choose between them? Once a person gets old and has yellow teeth, his color is gradually drained out, and he will be sold at a low price and driven away. In the future, he will just wander around and change places, and his life will become more and more complicated. Damn it, you’ll die without a burial place!”

Wang Xuanji buried her head again and remained silent again.

Bai put her mouth next to Wang Xuanji's ear and whispered: "I am doing this for your own good. If you are disobedient and let me down for so many years of hard work, let's tell the secret. In the worst case, we will both be destroyed."

She paused for a moment, then whispered, "You still have a long future ahead of you, and I've already lived half my life anyway, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Wang Xuanji still didn't speak, her brows were furrowed and her face was pale.

Bai sighed "Alas", her tone finally slowed down, and she said earnestly: "Look, life is not easy now! The situation is so good, and you have grown up to be so beautiful. You should be grateful, you should How can gratitude be wasted on someone who has nothing to do with it? My mother will choose a true gentleman for you. Even if you are a concubine, you can still be loved and loved. It is better than paying someone by mistake in vain."

When Bai's attitude softened, Wang Xuanji finally spoke: "Not everyone is full of conspiracies. It was none of his business, but now he is being humiliated for no reason. Is he unjust? He is a general. If he is a subordinate and has ambitions, we don't have to associate with him. Why bother to have grudges with others?" Bai said: "You are really indifferent, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

……

Sun Li's remaining days in Luoyang were like a black pig approaching the end of the year, unable to survive even the next year.

However, Sun Li's position in the General's Palace was quite strong. The late emperor entrusted him to Cao Shuang's chief historian and chief assistant officer in the General's Palace before his death.Therefore, Qin Liang had already heard that Sun Li was devolved to a high position in Huainan and was the governor of Yangzhou.

Cao Shuang was quite particular about his work. Although he disliked Sun Li, he still regarded Sun Li as one of his own and treated him very well.

So Chen An and other deputies in the General's Mansion discussed it and came to the conclusion that Sun Li was about to leave Luoyang, and everyone still had to give a kind gift each.

Chen An didn't say much in front of others, but said to Qin Liang privately: Sun Li is a person who knows how to repay kindness.

Qin Liang immediately understood what was said.In his early years, Sun Li encountered great chaos in the world, and his hometown was in chaos. Fortunately, he and his mother were rescued by his fellow villagers. Later, in order to repay his kindness, Sun Li gave all his land and property to his fellow villagers, leaving him alone and keeping nothing.

However, Qin Liang has a different view.

Chen An was very honest with Qin Liang. When Qin Liang first took up the post of general, he was very unfamiliar with everything. Thanks to Chen An's constant kind reminders.Thinking of this, Qin Liang quietly told Chen An his opinion: People like Sun Li don't want to owe favors, but once their grudges are broken, they will be more determined than ordinary people.

As for Chen An's agreement or disapproval, Qin Liang didn't care. He just repaid Chen An's honesty with his sincerity.

When Qin Liang met with Sun Li at the General's Mansion before, he had clearly expressed the hope that he could follow him to participate in the military.However, Sun Li did not respond for the time being and seemed not to take it seriously.

Now that it was time to give gifts, Qin Liang was in trouble.

Just as he had planned when he first arrived in Luoyang, the cost of visiting as a favor guest would not be small.As expected, Lu Xun, the governor of Jizhou, recently returned to Luoyang to entertain guests; Sun Li was leaving Beijing again, and Qin Liang suddenly felt very strapped.

Mainly because the output of the more than 200 acres of land on the south bank of the Luo River, plus the annual salary of [-] shi, is not much. Even if Qin Liang and other four adults do not eat or drink, it will be difficult to support decent expenses. .

Qin Liang went home and carefully looked through the slips recorded by Wang Kang, and personally checked the warehouse.Even if all the remaining items were used to exchange for one gift, it would still be inconspicuous and would look a bit shabby; if it were exchanged for two items, it would be simply unavailable.

For the current plan, we can only choose one or the other, so as not to suffer from both ends.

When his eldest brother was imprisoned, Qin Liang was running around trying to find people. Without Lu Xun's help, the matter would not have been possible.But Lu Xun's help is in the past. Now Qin Liang still wants to get a word from Sun Li, not to mention that Sun Li has been Qin Liang's immediate boss and has a closer relationship with him.Where to go?
Qin Liang turned over the warehouse slips in his hand back and forth, and the rope was almost broken by him. He felt quite embarrassed.

He was holding the slips and tapping them unconsciously in his hands, making a rhythmic sound.
