Chapter 304 Did you bring the marriage certificate?
Xie Xingyun looked at the robe in front of him from top to bottom, and hummed lightly.
…
After lunch, Bai Xianyu didn't go back to the yard directly, but asked someone to say hello to Guoying, and then got into the carriage and rushed to the mansion of General Zhen Guo.
Lvzhu thought about what they were about to do, although she tried her best to restrain herself, she was still a little scared, "Miss, how are you going to take us away?"
This is what she cares about the most. If the young lady leaves her alone, she won't be at ease!
Bai Xianyu didn't think about it, "After I 'dead', as someone close to me, wouldn't it be normal for my brother and the others to let you go home?"
"Then can't I go with you, Miss?" Lu Zhu said with a bitter face, "In this case, when will I see Miss? Will Miss Ji Shuang be lonely when she goes alone?"
"It's only temporary." Bai Xianyu showed a comforting smile, "As for Bai Li, he's always been a secretive person, and few people know that I have such a death guard. Brother and the others can make up any reason and send him away. leave."
"Okay." Luzhu sighed softly.
Zhen Guo General Mansion.
Bai Tanshen and Bai Jingyuan were sitting in the study room, guarded by layers of guards around them, so that no fly could fly in.
The grandeur of the mansion is not only on the surface, the general's mansion was born as a military general, and many secret passages are indispensable. The servants thought that the second and fourth sons are now doing business abroad, and the other is studying poetry. The tunnel came.
It's nothing important, the tunnels are all sealed, and even Bai Jinyan, who loves to play the most, the first book he memorizes after reading and learning is also a map of the secret passages in the General's Mansion.
Not long after Bai Jinyan and Bai Mohuai rushed to the study, Bai Xianyu also arrived.
Bai Tanshen saw Bai Xianyu coming, and slowly stood up with fists clenched, with a guilty expression on his face, "Sister."
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother, long time no see." Xu Shi resolved a concern, Bai Xianyu lowered his volume, but his smile looked very light.
"Go in and talk." Bai Jingyuan embraced Bai Jinyan who was about to pounce on him, and glanced at him: "Don't make a sound yet."
Bai Jinyan gritted his teeth and nodded.
Everyone came to a secret room. Bai Xianyu used to be very afraid of this place, because once she wants to enter this place, it means that something big has happened. She knew the news of her parents' death from here, and it was also here that her second brother decided to drop out of school to start a business. , It will take several years to go away.
But now she is not afraid, they are the ones who pay for this family every time, and this time, it is her time.
Bai Tan caught a deep glimpse of the smile on his younger sister's face, she was as cute and painful as before, her heart ached suddenly, and her eye sockets were dry, "Sister, have you made up your mind?"
Bai Jinyan looked at Bai Xianyu nervously, and said a step ahead of her, "Sister, once this decision is made, there is no turning back. Are you really going to Pingnan King's territory?"
Both Bai Mohuai and Bai Jingyuan looked at her solemnly.
"Yeah." The girl nodded lightly, and the corners of her lips raised slightly, "It's just a play, to deceive that person. If you do this, you may still have a chance. If you stay in the capital, this place will be a prison."
No matter when Emperor Wuxuan had the intention to kill them, it was like catching a turtle in a urn.
"Brother, the precognitive dream I told you before is actually not a dream." She spoke in surprise, paused for a moment, then raised her eyes to see the reaction of everyone, "That is the past life I experienced personally."
Bai Jinyan, who always loves to joke, is also very strict at the moment, waiting for Bai Xianyu to finish speaking.
"The former General's Mansion has experienced a period of great prosperity. From now until more than 20 years ago, it has always been trusted by the emperor. On the contrary, brother, your friendship with him is also extraordinary. It has been passed down as a good story in various countries.”
"A change can happen in an instant. Following the news that the elder brother was designed to die on the battlefield, the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother were all imprisoned and demoted within less than a month..."
Bai Tanshen's face was slightly cold, "Such a thunderous method seems to be afraid of what we will do."
Bai Xianyu saw that they quickly believed her words after the initial surprise, and unconsciously felt relieved, "Exactly, but I have been searching for a long time, but I haven't found out what made Emperor Wu Xuan kill him, but now The most important thing is that the time of this life has been advanced."
"As I said that day, what should have happened a few years later, but happened not long ago, which means that Emperor Wu Xuan will turn his face at some point, and we don't have the strength to fight against it now. .”
Eldest brother has a large army, but there are mixed fish and dragons among them. He was designed to murder him in his previous life, and it is very likely that it was done by the people placed beside him by Emperor Wuxuan. These hidden dangers will give him a fatal blow at some point.
Now that the monarch and his ministers are harmonious, these chess pieces will naturally not be used, and the military camp is harmonious, but if he has disputes or suspicions, these chess pieces will immediately turn into sharp knives and pierce the elder brother's heart.
Bai Tan pondered deeply for two seconds. What he needs most now is to get out of the control of Emperor Wu Xuan. The Hou Mansion is in the capital, which means that every move is under the supervision of Emperor Wu Xuan, and the army is far away. It can't be stretched so long, but it is easy to be exposed.
In the past, he let it go, thinking that the clean ones would clear themselves, and at the same time show loyalty, but now he has to pick them out one by one, even if it is like a gangrene, he must be cut off immediately!
And all of this requires an excuse that Emperor Wu Xuan cannot refuse.
"Beyond the frontier is the North Desert. There is a Buddhist domain in the North Desert. Legend has it that there is a place where three thousand Buddhas sit and transform. The people regard it as a holy place. If you sincerely kneel down and pray for the dead, the future generations of the dead will be free from disease and disaster. Worry." Halfway through Bai Tanshen's words, Bai Xianyu's eyes lit up slightly.
Isn't this more logical!
If the elder brother had laid the groundwork with Emperor Wu Xuan in advance, the whole thing would be more reasonable...
Just as she was thinking this way, Bai Tanshen spoke up, "I heard you say 'precognitive dreams' before, I have trouble sleeping and eating, and I am also thinking about countermeasures. I once submitted a letter of resignation to His Majesty, but it was rejected. Accept After receiving your letter, I explained to him why I resigned."
Bai Mohuai touched his chin, "How did you explain it?"
"I said, when I met the enemy in the frontier, I met a Buddha who said that I was the fate of the lone star of Tiansha, and I overcame the relatives around me, first my parents, and then the people close to me. I was worried that it would affect Xiao Yu'er. And you, that’s why I want to resign from office and leave Beijing to cultivate my moral character.”
Bai Jingyuan smiled slightly, "In this way, after Xiao Yu'er 'death', you can just take advantage of it, pretending to pray for the 'dead', stationing troops on the frontier, but actually secretly rectifying the army, weeding out those who have evil intentions, and taking the initiative step by step."
"At that time, even if the emperor reacts, it will be too late. It will not be so easy to install manpower. A few years is enough to get the barracks out of his control." Bai Jinyan analyzed.
Bai Xianyu also hummed, "The elder brother is the most important part, and there are third and fourth brothers..."
As she spoke, she took out a booklet from her cuff, flicked the non-existent dust on it, and said solemnly: "Third brother, I know you always hate people who form cliques for selfish interests, but Xianyu's move is not for forming cliques for selfish interests, but for I want to protect you, and if one day comes to the end of the mountain, I hope there will be more people standing behind you."
She didn't want to see the scene where only Lin Shizi stood up to speak for him when the fourth brother was relegated.
So alone.
So she made this plan from the beginning.
Bai Jingyuan took this unpretentious booklet from her hand, opened it with suspicion, and found that it was full of names.
The official position is written behind each person's name, including the date and time in detail, and the background of some people's life.
Bai Jinyan frowned, "Sister, what is this?"
Before Bai Xianyu opened his mouth, Bai Jingyuan's hand flipping through the book suddenly stopped, looking at the familiar names on it, he frowned, "This is... the list of people who will be promoted in the next few years?"
Bai Jinyan gasped.
Randomly read a passage, "...Huang Lishen, a native of Fengting Village, Luzhou, the No. Refute the punishment, and then repent and taste the courage, skip several levels in two years, and then become the grand master."
Bai Mohuai and Bai Tanshen are also looking at this directory. Most of the names appearing on it they have never heard of. They are still ordinary scholars now, but in the near future, they will want to jump the carp into the dragon's gate!
And more or less, they all encountered almost devastating blows, some were imprisoned, some were castrated, and some were implicated in their families... Almost none of them went smoothly.
It would be normal if there were one or two, but the fate of the people on the entire list is rough, which means that they did it on purpose.
Xianyu listed all the trustworthy people among them, intending to make them owe their kindness. There are many icing on the cake and few people giving charcoal in the snow. If their brothers are in trouble in the future, these many people who have received their favor will definitely not sit idly by.
"The White Horse Station is now under my name. Following the example of the former Prime Minister, I have attracted scholars from all over the world. Third Brother, it will be yours from now on."
She quietly planned a big gift in secret.
When she was about to leave Kyoto, she also arranged a retreat for them.
Everyone realized this, and they all clenched their fists.
Bai Jinyan's eyes were slightly red, "Sister, when did you do this behind my brother's back, I thought you only knew how to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."
Bai Xianyu pretended to be angry and patted him lightly, then said with a light smile, "You know how to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake, I'm already too old, okay?"
"The little girl who just reached Ji should only know how to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Bai Jinyan's tone was a little choked up, and he stepped forward and hugged the cute and cute sister in front of him, his two handsome sword eyebrows were tightly frowned, his expression moved, " It’s useless for my brother, I used to let you push me to make progress, but now that the disaster is imminent, I need you to protect me.”
"Fourth brother, I don't allow you to talk about yourself like this. Every time something happens, you will protect me. Now that Xianyu has grown up, he can naturally protect his brother."
Bai Xianyu's eyes felt hot, "Xianyu will not be in the capital in the future, fourth brother, you have to work hard, see you later, I have to impress you."
Bai Jinyan nodded like a mallet, "En."
He was so comforted that he couldn't suppress it immediately, tears welled up.
Bai Mohuai looked at his younger siblings who were embracing each other, with gratified eyes. After so many years, even Xiao Yuer, who always followed behind them with a silly smile, could be alone.
"Okay." He pulled Bai Jinyan away, and teased: "If you cry again, Xiao Yu'er's clothes will be wet from crying in a while. How old is a man, why do you cry for a man?"
Bai Jinyan was a little embarrassed by what was said, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, "Isn't this very touching."
Bai Tan patted him deeply on the shoulder, "Don't be so impressed, you can remember the people on this list for me, don't you like to make friends? You can start making friends tomorrow."
Bai Mohuai also said, "Some people from poor families, I can sponsor them to come to the capital right now."
Bai Xianyu silently watched their discussion. In addition to Baimayi, there were also Fengshadu and Shengmen. These were all forces she cultivated secretly. Unfortunately, the fly in the ointment was still in its infancy.
The 3,000 death guards of Shengmen have grown to more than 1,000 people now, and another 1,000 more people have been recruited to train hard, and she can rest assured to protect them secretly under the name of Jianghu organization.
At the very least, the third elder brother in the previous life was framed as a collaborator and was directly captured by the Imperial Forest Army, which will never happen again.
If it really came to that point, one of them and Emperor Wu Xuan would definitely fall, and she and her elder brother had already left the capital, so there was no need to worry about anything, just let the people from Shengmen rescue the third brother.
As for clearing the charges, she will settle with Emperor Wu Xuan one by one, and let the world know how he disregarded the virtues of the monarch and his ministers, and did not hesitate to press the charges, but also put them to death.
"Second brother, there will be a drought in the near future, which lasts for a year, and soon Da Kui's rice and noodles will rise sharply, but Da Kui's treasury is empty, and the emperor will definitely ask you to donate rice and noodles to relieve the disaster in the name of his father's kindness. Now You secretly hoard some from other countries, and when you release it, then make an expense account book converted from the price of rice and flour in the drought and hand it to the emperor, he will definitely believe that you have emptied your entire family for disaster relief."
After all, Emperor Wuxuan didn't know that she was the one who lived a new life, and he couldn't predict that the second brother would hoard food in advance.
"Second Brother, in the next few years, you can pretend that your business is in a slump, introduce a trustworthy agent to buy your wealth, and actually turn behind the scenes, so that Emperor Wu Xuan won't have any more ideas about you."
The second elder brother ransacked the house in the name of the Bai family accepting bribes. The wealth he gathered was obtained by the three brothers who were officials in the court.
Even if Emperor Wuxuan ignored it, he still moved it to the second brother. The wealth of the second brother had already been transferred.
Bai Mohuai always had a smile on his face. Seeing that Bai Xianyu had finished speaking, he closed his fan and said with a tsk-tsk smile: "As expected of my sister."
Because of the seriousness of the matter, Bai Xianyu discussed with them until dusk before leaving the General's Mansion.
Now that the love gu has been resolved, and the rest of the matter has been properly arranged, the only thing left is to dissolve the engagement.
Thinking of Xie Xingyun's dull black eyes in the afternoon, Bai Xianyu was a little dazed, but after thinking about it, this result is actually not a bad thing for the two of them.
This marriage was originally due to the love gu, the dissolution should be natural, and the marriage is gone, so she can leave with peace of mind.
She originally thought that Xie Xingyun was a ruthless and cold person, but now she also saw how obsessed he is. Maybe he will fall in love with other women in the future, so this marriage shouldn't stop him.
Bai Xianyu thought clearly, but for some reason, her heart suddenly shrank, and the slight tingling pain immediately made her stiff.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?"
Bai Xianyu rubbed his face, blinked his eyelashes twice, "It's okay, maybe it's because I just got rid of the Gu, and there are still some sequelae."
…
In the huge room, Xie Xingyun was leaning on the head of the bed, with one hand behind his head, and two volumes of marriage books on his knees, all of which were outlined with gold and silver threads, exquisite and exquisite.
His eyelids were lowered, and his slender fingers rested lightly on the scroll, rubbing the words on it little by little.
It was dusk, and bright yellow light came in obliquely, forming several light bands on the ground. The cicadas and birds were singing outside the house, indicating that the lively Midsummer Night was coming.
Xie Xingyun slowly put away the marriage certificate, his eyes were a little dry, and his long eyelashes slightly closed a few times.
When she came to the girl's courtyard, it was already full of lights before it was completely dark. The door of the main room was open, and the moonlight and candlelight smudged her face, blurred and vivid, like a person in a dream.
The boots seemed to have taken root here, and Xie Xingyun thought he was prepared, so he could easily walk in and hand them to her.
It's still early, and they still have a chance to be together in the future.
He holds the marriage letter in his left hand, and the love note written by Bai Xianyu in his right hand. He once asked her to recite it dozens of times in front of him.
Only by holding her promise tightly and thinking of her smiling face can he get here step by step.
But when it came to the last step, Xie Xingyun realized that it was far more difficult than he imagined.
Bai Xianyu turned her head when she heard the footsteps, and broke into the man's deep and dazzling eyes.
She saw what he was holding, and wanted to get to the point directly, but the words came to her lips, "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"
Xie Xingyun looked at her silently and nodded.
Bai Xianyu poured him a cup of tea, thinking that he was going to leave tomorrow, the anger he had been deceived before miraculously dissipated a little.
"Is the thing brought?"
"…Um."
Bai Xianyu took the marriage certificate from the man without much effort. She opened it and looked at it. After confirming that it was correct, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xie Xingyun still kept his promise, otherwise she would have to find a way to get the marriage certificate.
