The entrance of the Shangshu Mansion in Beijing

"It's here, this is the House of Ministers of the Ministry of Households." Wu Bai said, looking at the plaque with the three characters "Shangshu's House" hanging high in front of him.

Xiao Zimo also looked up at the plaque.

Seeing the two of them standing in front of the mansion door talking, the concierge ran over and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Wu Bai stepped forward, pointed at Xiao Zimo and said, "This is the eldest lady of your Shangshu Mansion."

The concierge was shocked. He knew that the eldest lady from the country had disappeared. The master was getting angry about this, and sent many people out to find the eldest lady.

So he didn't bother to ask, and quickly invited Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai in together.

.Wu Bai originally wanted to say that Xiao Zimo is the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, but thinking that Xiao Zimo's male body has not recovered yet, the concierge must not know the inside story, and it will be difficult to stop them at that time. So, he changed his mouth and said that Xiao Zimo was the eldest young lady. Sure enough, when the concierge heard it, he immediately welcomed the two of them in.

The porter led them into the hall.

"Master, the eldest lady is back," said the porter.

Only then did Mr. Xiao look at the two people behind the doorman, and then fixed his gaze on Xiao Zimo, with excitement on his face, and said, "Zimo, you are back."

Xiao Zimo nodded, swept around the hall, and found that they were also looking at him.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Father Xiao said with relief.

Then he ordered the villains who were looking for Xiao Zimo to withdraw.

."Zimo, who is this next to you?" Father Xiao turned his gaze to Wu Bai. He didn't remember that he had sent such a smart-looking little brother to his son.

"Reporting to my father, I accidentally encountered several robbers on the way back. Thanks to Brother Yuan for saving me, he is my savior." Xiao Zimo replied.

Hearing Xiao Zimo say that he had encountered robbers several times, Father Xiao paused, turned to look at his wife, gave her a warning look, and then said to Wu Bai, "Thank you for this fate. Brother's life-saving grace to the dog."

Xiao Zimo didn't want Father Xiao to focus too much on Wu Bai, so he turned his attention: "Father, now that I am an adult, I don't know when my identity will be restored?"

.As soon as these words came out, Father Xiao looked embarrassed, looked at Xiao Zimo and said, "Zimo, you didn't come back before, and I don't know what happened in the mansion. Your brother and the daughter of Marquis Pingyang made a marriage plan. My father was too busy and lost his head for a while, so he wrote the words 'eldest son' on the Geng Tie. Now the marriage has been decided, and there are still three months to get married. If you restore your identity at this time, the Marquis of Pingyang will misunderstand us. The family is suspected of cheating marriage, so I thought about it for my father, why don't you wait for your brother to get married, and then restore your identity, what do you think?"

Xiao Zimo knew for a long time that he would not regain his identity so easily when he came back, but at this moment, when he heard what Father Xiao said, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

.So he said in a bad tone: "If that's the case, why didn't my father go to the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion in person and explain the situation to them as soon as possible, not to mention waiting for the second brother to get married and then restore his identity, isn't this a fraudulent marriage? "

Hearing this, Father Xiao's expression was not very good.

He felt that as a father, no matter what he did, it would not be his son's turn to blame Xiao Zimo, but Xiao Zimo grew up in the country these years, and he thought he owed him a lot, so he didn't get angry with him.

.At this time, Mrs. Qian interjected: "Zimo, what have you learned in the countryside all these years, why did you contradict your father as soon as you came back, and besides, the reason why your father didn't go to the Marquis of Pingyang to explain, That's for your sake. Your brother has now been admitted to Juren, and the Marquis of Pingyang values ​​his future very much, but you are only a white person. Even if your brother gives you the marriage, you can bear the anger of the Marquis of Pingyang. ?"

Qian Shi looked like he was trying to persuade Xiao Zimo, but in fact he served multiple purposes. It not only devalued Xiao Zimo's short-sightedness, but also raised his own son, and at the same time praised Xiao's father's heart.

Xiao Zimo's health was not good in the first place, but his face turned pale when he was excited by Qian's anger.

.Wu Bai couldn't watch it any longer, he stood up and said to Qian's family: "This lady, I remember that Xiao Zimo never seemed to say that he coveted his brother's marriage, he just hoped that Mr. Xiao would explain it to the Marquis of Pingyang in advance. The reason for this is to restore your identity as soon as possible. Since you think that the Marquis of Pingyang values ​​your son, even if he is not the eldest son, I believe that the Marquis of Pingyang will be willing to marry his daughter to him. Hou Fu is such a pedantic and unreasonable person?"

"When did I decide that the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion was unreasonable? Don't talk nonsense, this is the Shangshu mansion!" Qian said angrily.

"Here is the Shangshu Mansion where you can't talk nonsense? Does the lady mean that you can talk nonsense anywhere else?" Wu Bai nodded, and then said, "Okay, I'll leave now, I'm the most comfortable in the teahouse, I You can say whatever you want there.”

.After speaking, Wu Bai shook his head again and said, "No, no, how can there be a restaurant fragrance in a teahouse? It's better to go to a restaurant. I like to tell stories after getting drunk."

"Master Xiao, leave and leave." Wu Bai bowed to Xiao Shangshu.

Xiao Shangshu was willing to let him leave and go to the restaurant to talk nonsense, so he stopped him quickly, and said with a smile: "Where, brother Yuan is joking, you are Zimo's savior, that is our Shangshu's savior, since it is ours Benefactor, then how can we let you go to the restaurant outside to spend money, you can rest assured, as long as you are willing to stay in the Shangshu Mansion, let us repay your kindness, the Shangshu Mansion can eat and drink as you please?"

Wu Bai glanced at Madam Qian who was full of anger, then shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it."

.Understanding Wu Bai's meaning, Xiao Shangshu turned around and rebuked Mrs. Qian, "You are not allowed to be disrespectful to Brother Yuan in the future."

Mrs. Qian wanted to say something, but was so frightened by Lord Xiao's eyes that she swallowed the words back, and could only stand there silently.

"Okay, do you have any other requirements for Brother Yuan? Feel free to ask them, and I'm sure to satisfy you." Xiao Shangshu said.

Wu Bai thought for a while, and said, "You are sincere, so let's put Xiao Zimo and me in the same yard. Remember, I like to live in a large and luxurious yard."

"Okay." Xiao Shangshu felt that these were not big problems, so he agreed.

"You are a little brother, and you live in the same yard with a man. I'm really not ashamed." Xiao Ziyu, who was next to him, couldn't see how his father was ingratiating to Wu Bai, so he spoke sarcastically.

."What's wrong with living in a yard, I chose the big yard." Wu Bai pointed at Xiao Ziyu and said to Xiao Shangshu: "Well, my requirements are not too high, that is, the yard must be twice the size of the yard this woman lives in. Big."

"Hmph, what you think is quite beautiful." Xiao Ziyu said dismissively.

Xiao Shangshu remembered that his wife built a luxurious and exquisite large yard a few years ago. He also went to see it. It happened that the yard was twice as big as Xiao Ziyu's. Fragrant Garden, it's big enough, even if two people live there, it won't be crowded."

"Master, that's what I prepared for Zijue." Madam Qian quit.

"Zijue? Doesn't he have a yard? Could it be that he wants to live in two yards by himself, which is too outrageous." Xiao Shangshu frowned.

.Mrs. Qian quickly explained: "No, that's the yard I prepared for his..." wedding.

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Shangshu interrupted: "Okay, I've already said it. In the future, Brother Muxiangyuan will live with Zimo. You don't have to say more, hurry up and make arrangements."

Mrs. Qian stood still.

Seeing this, Xiao Shangshu said with displeased expression: "What are you still doing, why don't you hurry up?"

Mrs. Qian still stood still and refused to move.

Xiao Shangshu was even more angry, and said with a cold face: "Is it impossible to call you? If you don't want to take care of things, then give the middle feed to Xiang'er."

Thinking of Concubine Xiang's coquettish son who coveted her own power in the family for many years, Madam Qian reluctantly said to Wu Bai and her, "Come with me."

Wu Bai raised his eyebrows and smiled at Xiao Zimo, then followed him in the direction of Madam Qian.

.A group of people came to Muxiang Garden and pushed open the courtyard door. Wu Bai found that the interior was exquisite and luxurious, with three steps and one pavilion, Wu Bai’s one pavilion, rockery and flowing water, lotus pond, and various precious flower beds.

"Yes, I am very satisfied." Wu Bai commented.

Then Wu Bai asked Mrs. Qian to take them around the yard before letting her go.

Of course, he didn't really let her go, but ordered her to prepare daily necessities, firewood, rice, oil, and salt for the two of them.

That's right, Wu Bai also found a small kitchen here. For the safety of the two, Wu Bai decided that it would be safer to make breakfast by himself.

"Thank you so much for today." Xiao Zimo sincerely thanked.

"No thanks, it's you, how is your body now?" Wu Bai asked.

.Who knows, just after he finished asking, Xiao Zimo couldn't help coughing, Wu Bai quickly helped him sit down and patted him on the back.

After a while, Xiao Zimo stopped coughing.

Seeing Xiao Zimo's originally pale complexion turn rosy due to coughing, Wu Bai was not very happy, but even more worried.

He asked, "You said before that you were not in good health because you were poisoned. Does that mean you can get better if you find an antidote?"

Xiao Zimo first nodded, then shook his head again and said, "The old doctor said back then that my body can really get better if there is an antidote, but he has no antidote, so he can only induce some of the toxicity for me by applying acupuncture, so that I can get better. Stay alive, it has been so many years now. Before I came to Beijing this time, I went to see the old doctor again. He said that this residual poison has been eroding in my body for many years. Get better."

.After listening, Wu Bai nodded and said, "Even if it can be detoxified, it is good, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get the antidote for you."

The two were talking when there were footsteps outside the yard, and then a large group of people came in, led by Qian's confidant, Mommy.

When she saw Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo, she didn't show any respect, and said arrogantly, "This is what Madam prepared for you, as well as the servants who will serve you in your daily life."

Wu Bai waved his hand and said: "Okay, we know, you go down."

The mama was still waiting for Wu Bai and the two to come and say a word of gratitude to Dade, but when she waited for such a sentence, she suddenly became angry, she flicked her sleeves, twisted her fat waist, said 'I don't know what's good or bad' and left .
