Chapter 157 Girls' Chat
After a few days of separation, Bai Zhi had trouble sleeping for several days. She either had trouble falling asleep or woke up early. She thought that if she couldn't sleep, she could practice some exercises, but she couldn't sleep well even when practicing.
Among the row of secret guards left by Chu Yunchuan, there was a very perceptive one who saw that Bai Zhi was in a bad mood, so he offered to practice boxing with Bai Zhi.
These secret guards are all elite troops carefully selected by Chu Yunchuan. Some of them are even better at martial arts than Chu Yunchuan. They say they are sparring partners, but in fact they just want to be targets for Bai Zhi to vent her frustration.
Bai Zhi saw what he was thinking and just waved her hand to decline.
Firstly, she couldn't let these secret guards who worked diligently every day become targets. Secondly... even if she had to practice with them, she would still find it more interesting to have Chu Yunchuan standing here.
It was just that there was one less person around her, but it was as if a large piece of her internal organs had been dug out, and the room was empty.
The two children also noticed Bai Zhi's erratic appearance. However, the Gong Cao was busy these days, and Qiaoqiao was busy going out early and coming back late every day and could not take care of Bai Zhi, so the responsibility of accompanying Bai Zhi fell on Lin Chuqi. Every day after returning from the school, he would hold a book and take Dahei to sit in Bai Zhi's courtyard, letting Bai Zhi teach him literature and history.
After all, the imperial examination system is different from reading leisure books. Bai Zhi could no longer teach Lin Chuqi anything, so she just put the book on the stone table and began to talk about unofficial history.
A very pure unofficial history, compiled by Bai Zhi.
Out of personal anger, she framed several well-known figures in the Southern Barbarians, from the chief to the Holy Son, and made them all act out a tragic drama in her mouth.
Lin Chuqi had no choice but to listen to Bai Zhi's nonsense.
But he knew Bai Zhi and knew she was talking nonsense, but the secret guards didn't know that. The row of secret guards were so excited that they stood closer and closer, and finally stood in a circle around Bai Zhi, asking enthusiastically one after another: "What happened next?"
"Then?" Bai Zhi's eyes flashed with ferocity. "Then the chief had an affair with the woman, and the woman gave birth to a son. The chief raised his child by his side in the name of the Holy Son, and all the benefits of the Nanman became theirs."
"Oh!"
As for the fact that Bai Zhi felt guilty a few days later and explained to the secret guards that she had been making up stories, that is a story for later.
After listening to unofficial history for a few days, Lin Chuqi felt that if he continued like this, the official history in his mind would be in jeopardy, so he took advantage of the day when the school was closed and hurriedly took Baizhi out to get some fresh air.
Go out more often so you don’t have to make up stories every day.
After Chu Yunchuan left, Bai Zhi deliberately did not go out, mainly because she was afraid that the neighbors would see her alone and make a fuss, so she thought of delaying going out as long as possible.
But the Lin Mansion is really small. According to Lin Chuqi, if you stay there any longer you will suffocate to death.
For the common people of Qing County, it made little difference whether Chu Yunchuan was there or not, as they continued to live their lives as usual. Therefore, when they saw that Bai Zhi was the only one with Lin Chuqi, they did not ask many questions. Most of them just said a few words of concern and then went about their own business, without anyone asking questions without knowing the number of questions.
Bai Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them sneaked all the way to Tang Sanwei. It was just 9 o'clock now, and the shop was not busy. There were only a few children who were not yet old enough to learn to read, playing and shouting around the shop.
Zhou Shensi sat on the doorstep with a bitter look on her face. Tu Yingxu was sipping milk tea beside her. She noticed Bai Zhi and Lin Chuqi coming, so she raised her hand and called them over.
In response to Bai Zhi's suggestion, Tang Sanwei didn't put out tables and chairs, so Bai Zhi had to pull Lin Chuqi to sit on the doorstep and said to Tu Yingxu, "It's rare. Don't you have to do business today?"
Tu Yingxu's expression suddenly became as bitter as Zhou Shensi's.
Bai Zhi: "...What's going on?"
"Boss, please don't poke her in the lungs." Zhou Shensi stood up and went into the shop to fiddle with the milk tea, explaining, "Her father is urging her to get married. He said that when she brings home a son-in-law, he will let her return to the shop... Boss, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, would you like to try the new Phoenix Drink in the shop?"
Bai Zhi: "Phoenix Drink?"
The little kids immediately started howling at the top of their lungs: "Phoenix riding a bug! Phoenix riding a bug!"
Bai Zhi: "...Why is it still like this?"
"Since we reclaimed the mountains and built farmland, this has happened every day." Tu Yingxu said with a smile, "So Shensi took advantage of this opportunity to make the Phoenix Drink, which sells quite well. You can try it."
Bai Zhi looked at Lin Chuqi and said, "Try it?"
Lin Chuqi nodded.
Bai Zhi held out her hand: "Two cups."
"Cash?"
"Deduction from dividends."
"Come on." Bai Zhi nudged Tu Yingxu with her knee, "Tell me."
"There's really nothing much to say, just this little thing." Tu Yingxu looked around and asked, "Are you and Chuqi the only ones here?"
"Prince Jing has official business." Bai Zhi said with a smile, "He is a prince after all, he can't always be around me."
Lin Chuqi glanced at Bai Zhi - when they were drinking last night, Bai Zhi was still scolding Chu Yunchuan, asking why couldn't you take me with you.
Tu Yingxu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not bad, it's not bad, I thought married people would be as clingy as you guys."
Bai Zhi said awkwardly: "Generally speaking, it won't be like this..."
Who made her fall in love with Chu Yunchuan?
A few little kids who were running around and howling suddenly ran around and surrounded a person not far away.
Bai Zhi looked up—Oh, it’s Qiao Wanwan.
"Go, go, go home to find mom." Qiao Wanwan walked around the little kids with a tired look on her face and threw herself directly at Bai Zhi, howling, "There are so many people here today... Zhou Shensi! Have a drink!"
Bai Zhi was pressed down by Qiao Wanwan and couldn't breathe. She said with difficulty: "...Can you stay away from me with your stinking sweat?"
"Why are you so tired?" Tu Yingxu handed over his milk tea, "Did you practice extra today?"
Qiao Wanwan took a big sip from Tu Yingxu's hand, and the milk tea was gone in the blink of an eye. After a long pause, she gave Bai Zhi a trembling look and said, "General Zhu ordered that the whole army should train more."
Bai Zhi: "...It's not my order."
Qiao Wanwan said confidently: "General Zhu has always been very organized in his work. Who else can he listen to when he suddenly has to practice more? Of course, it's your King Jing."
Bai Zhi: "..."
"Suddenly adding training?" Tu Yingxu frowned in worry. "Is something going to happen? Baizhi, have you heard His Royal Highness King Jing mention it?"
Chu Yunchuan didn't mention anything serious that would happen, but this is understandable. The situation with the barbarians is unclear, and it is likely that he is just preparing for a rainy day.
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Even if something does happen, life will go on as usual."
Tu Yingxu: "..."
"I agree with this." Qiao Wanwan stood up from Bai Zhi's body. "Everyone has their own duties in life. Even if a war really breaks out one day, we will be responsible for defending our country, and you will be responsible for living your lives as usual."
Tu Yingxu shook his head: "Then we are too comfortable."
"Fighting is not the goal, living is the goal. You guys live a comfortable life, so we have something to fight for." Qiao Wanwan grinned, "If we find out that our home base is gone while we're fighting, then what's the point of fighting?"
