marry a princess

Chapter 73
After Dr. Liang Jun, Dr. Lu, and Dr. Mi left, the room returned to dead silence. Bai Ziwan stood silently in front of the window, not knowing what he was thinking. people before.

In the past, she greeted him with a smile when she met him for the first time, but now they are husband and wife, but she is a stranger to him, and even finds it difficult to look at him more.

I want to ask her if she really doesn't remember the little boy she met back then, or if she is the little girl she met back then.Several times the words came to his lips, looking at her indifferent and alienated back, he still couldn't ask.Yuan Hongyi smiled wryly and shook his head. He, who was never afraid of death, would feel very uncomfortable because of her indifference.

The door was knocked twice, a man dressed as a servant pushed open the door, stood at the door and replied, "Fifth prince, the general sent someone to invite you to the barracks."

Yuan Hongyi said, "Did the general tell me when to go?"

The servant thought for a moment, then shook his head, "The visitor didn't say when the general would invite the Fifth Prince to come over, but the servant saw his anxious expression..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Hongyi raised his hand to interrupt him, then waved his hand to signal him to go down first.Turning his head to look at the woman still standing motionless in front of the window, if not for her long hair fluttering in the wind, he would really think that the one standing in front of the window was just a sculpture.

Walking to the door of the house, after thinking for a while, he finally stopped, and turned his face slightly, "Although it is already the middle of winter, the wind is still strong, you are just in better health, if you have nothing important to do, stay indoors, you are in good health Once you're done, go out."

He moved, but he said again, "Whether you are willing or not, you are not allowed to leave half a step without my permission... What happened that night will never happen again."

what is this?promise?condition?or something else?Turning around, looking at the empty but still warm room, Bai Ziwan smiled, he knew exactly what she was thinking and knew that she wanted to go out.But if she really wanted to go out, how could she really give up because of his words?

"Master..." Yun Xiang came in carrying the iron cage, "Why does this fox refuse to eat, is it sick, do you want to ask Dr. Liang to take a look?"

Bai Ziwan laughed, and took a sip from the teacup, "Mr. Liang is a military doctor, not a veterinarian. You ask Dr. Liang to treat the fox. Be careful about Dr. Liang's anger."

"Military Liang will be angry only if he is kind-hearted." Yun Xiang turned around and sat down on the stool carelessly, looking at Bai Ziwan. "What should I do? Can't let it be hungry all the time?"

Bai Ziwan shook his head, took the iron cage for a closer look, glanced sideways at Yunxiang, and nodded the little fox's head, "What did you give it to eat?"

"I wanted to feed it some carrots and green vegetables, but it refused to eat." Ruxiang folded her hands on the table and said, "Master, please feed it. This little beast seems to like the master very much, seeing that this little beast has a relationship with the master. , the master is heavenly and beautiful, who wouldn't like it."

Bai Ziwan rolled his eyes, "Don't flatter, go, go to the kitchen and ask Brother Zheng if he has some chicken."

Rue Xiang was at a loss, "What do you want chicken for?" How long has it been since breakfast, why is the master hungry so quickly?

Seeing Yunxiang staring at him in a daze, Bai Ziwan didn't even bother to roll his eyes, and tapped her forehead, "I usually see you are very smart, why are you so confused now? Have you ever seen a fox eating carrots and greens?"

Rue Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized that she patted her forehead, shrank her neck and smiled, got up and went outside.

After Yun Xiang left, Aunt Liu pushed the door open and came in, "What's wrong with that girl, Yun Xiang? Why is she giggling all by herself while walking?"

"The girl gave the fox carrots." Opening the iron cage, Bai Ziwan hugged the little fox in his arms, smoothed its hair, and looked up at Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, is the shop okay these days? Uncle Mo Are they busy? If the shop is too busy, please invite two more people." After thinking about it, Linjiang City is no better than the capital city, maybe the people in Linjiang City don't like the food she sells.

After getting along for a long time, I knew that Bai Ziwan didn't have the airs of a master. Aunt Liu let go of the last trace of worry and restraint, sat under Ziwan, poured herself half a bowl of tea and drank it, "Old Mo and the others It’s just that I want to ask the master if he can invite two more mistresses.”

"Is the shop busy?" Bai Ziwan turned to look at Aunt Liu.The hand was still running down the little fox's hair, and the little fox seemed to be enjoying it, lying in her arms, motionless.

Aunt Liu nodded, "Linjiang City is no better than the capital city. We were worried that the business here would plummet, but we didn't expect it to be very good. It's late in Linjiang City. It's been almost a month since the beginning of spring and it's still too cold, so the shop The hot pot sold very well, earning 50 taels of silver in a month. Moreover, the tea and fruit in our shop are all given away for free, and other things are genuine, so more people come here. Listen to Lao Mo, these few days Several subordinates of the Japanese general have been to the shop, and they want to ask for the recipe of the hot pot."

50 taels is equivalent to 3000 yuan, which is already a miracle for the newly opened shop.Bai Ziwan pursed her lips and smiled. The good business was indeed beyond her expectation, but it was beyond her expectation that some people like hot pot so much.It was because he knew the climate of Linjiang City that he asked Xiao Heduo to make some hot pots.

"Did Uncle Mo tell them how to make hot pot?"

"If you tell others how to do it, master won't be afraid that someone will steal our business? But even if you tell them how to do it, they might not be able to do it." Aunt Liu said, her expression was full of complacency.

What Aunt Liu said is true, that is, there are many styles of hot pot in modern times, but there are only a few that are really tasty, and many of the ingredients needed for the hot pot in their shops are sent from the capital, and some of them have to go to other places specially. local procurement.

Seeing Yunxiang come back, Bai Ziwan handed the fox to her, and continued, "Let Uncle Mo and the others figure out what to do in the shop, and you don't need to ask me anything." She stuck out her tongue, "I said so It seems that he has really become a hands-off shopkeeper who only knows how to count silver."

"It's not like, the master is a hands-off shopkeeper who can only count money. There is a nanny in the capital, and there is Aunt Liu here."

Bai Ziwan glared at Yunxiang angrily, this girl was really spoiled by her, always revealing her truth, not giving her face at all.It's also thanks to Yun Xiang's unrestrained temperament, if the submissive and timid maid stays by her side, she might be suffocated to death.

"Almost forgot." Aunt Liu took out two letters from her clothes and handed them over, "This is a letter from the capital, and I just went to the shop to get it."

She could read the handwriting of the two letters, one was from her brother and the other was from Yuan Hongyu.Bai Ziwan opened his brother's letter, and sure enough, when Yuan Hongyi wrote the book and returned to the capital, his brother and father knew about her assassination, but there was no mention of this matter in the letter, nor did they explain why they wrote to her now. She just told her to be careful in everything.

After looking at Yuan Hongyu's handwriting on the envelope for a long time, Bai Ziwan still didn't open it, folded it, and locked it together with his brother's letter in a mahogany box.

The night is as cool as water.Bai Ziwan stood in front of the house door looking at the night sky in a daze for a while, then turned around and asked, "Where is Xiao He? Not in the mansion?"

Yunxiang snorted, "He kept saying that the fifth prince had given him to the master, except that the master came to see you the second day after he was injured, and he was not seen at all these days, and he didn't know what he was doing. Master, why don't you still Do you want him to stay with you?"

Xiao He's martial arts are indeed good, but she is not inferior either, even without him, she can still protect her master well.However, thinking that he was in front of his master that night, he watched his master being plotted against and nearly lost his life.Yunxiang looked at Bai Ziwan guiltily, fortunately the master was safe and sound, otherwise her ten lives would not be worth the master's life.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Could it be that my face is dirty?"

Yun Xiang shook her head, held Bai Ziwan's arm, and said hesitantly, "Master, let's go back to the capital. The young master didn't say that if you want to go back, you can write to him, and he will definitely find a way to ask the emperor to agree to take it back. "

Bai Ziwan smiled and looked at the night sky.After all, she was just a little girl who thought that if she left Linjiang City and returned to the capital, she would be safe and sound?Now that those people have their eyes on her, no matter where she goes, they will never let her go easily.

Seeing Bai Ziwan staring blankly at the treetops, Yunxiang said, "Master..."

Turning to look at Yunxiang, Bai Ziwan said softly, "You think we can do whatever we want when we return to the capital? Those people won't let me go easily, so what's the difference?" One, she can continue to stay in Linjiang City.

Yuan Hongyi, who had just walked to the gate of the Moon Cave, couldn't help but stop when he heard Bai Ziwan's words, looked at her quietly for a while, then turned and left.

"Hey, Fifth Brother, didn't you say to visit your sister-in-law? Why did you come back so soon?" Seeing Yuan Hongyi's complexion was not good, Yuan Hongjin said, "My sister-in-law is still angry and refuses to talk to you? Just go over and explain it to my sister-in-law."

"Come back!" After Yuan Hongjin stopped, Yuan Hongyi took off his coat and threw it on the shelf, "It's not as simple as you think."

"Fifth Brother..." It was all his fault.If it weren't for what he said, he would use his tricks, sister-in-law would not have almost died, and brother would not be in such pain as now.

"It's none of your business." Yuan Hongyi went to the chair and sat down, closed his eyes and said tiredly, "It's getting late, you can go back to the room and rest."

Yuan Hongjin opened his mouth, sighed and went outside, suddenly remembered something, turned around, "I remember that Bo Hongtai's eldest daughter is called Bai Yingying, why does the fifth brother call his sister-in-law Awan?"

Yuan Hongyi suddenly opened his eyes, knowing that he could not be fooled, so he had to tell him the matter.Yuan Hongjin was horrified, "Bai Hongtai is so bold, he dares to embezzle another tree! The crime of deceiving the emperor will be punished all over the house. Is he not afraid at all?"

"This matter was planned by Mrs. Pan, and General Bai didn't know about it."

"Fifth brother, you..." Yuan Hongjin walked over in two steps, "Why aren't you angry at all?" Then he said, "Could it be that fifth brother is really attracted to her?"

Yuan Hongyi frowned, looked at the jade pendant hanging on his waist, and said quietly after a while, "Do you still remember that I told you that when I accompanied my mother to the Jiangnan palace to recuperate, I went out to play, but it rained, Met a little girl who lent me an umbrella?"

Yuan Hongjin nodded, "I remember, Brother Wu has been inquiring about her whereabouts all these years? Could it be...she is that little girl back then?"

Yuan Hongyi nodded, his tense face became softer.
