Chapter 153 Cut off the peach blossom
Bai Zhaozhao understood immediately: "Alright! I'll give the medicinal wine to you two later. Brother, I was just strolling around today."
Bai Lin's eyes flickered, and he said to the three of them, "Okay, the three of you come here. Since we meet today, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Zhilan, the second son of the Zhang family, and this is Shen Zhiyou, my former classmate and now a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. They are all my colleagues.
Brother Zhang, Brother Shen, this is my younger brother Bai Hao, whom I have met before. He is the second son of the Guangping Marquis family. They are now working in the Yulin Guard. The other one is my younger sister, who has just been named the Princess of Zhaohe County. "
Bai Zhaozhao did know them, but given their current changes in status, it was understandable that Bai Lin introduced them.
After greeting each other, Bai Hao said that he brought Lin Anhe back to get some things, and then he had to go to the guard post to do some things.
Bai Zhaozhao told Bai Lin to continue drinking and she would go back to her room to rest. However, before she turned around, Zhang Zhilan stopped her.
"Please wait a moment, County Lady!" Zhang Zhilan suddenly stood up and said to Bai Lin, "Actually, I have something to tell Brother Bai today. Since you are here, I will tell you directly. I heard that the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion is trying to find out about your marriage."
Hearing this, Bai Hao was no longer in a hurry to leave. He immediately exploded: "Cheng'en Marquis Mansion? Those losers? Are they worthy?"
Lin Anhe also looked unhappy: "They are not looking for the Queen to grant them marriage, are they?"
Zhang Zhilan shook his head: "It's hard to say, I also learned about this news by chance."
Bai Lin frowned: "Zhao Zhao, I remember you said that the Queen didn't have a very good impression of you?"
Bai Zhaozhao nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's not very good."
Shen Zhiyou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "It doesn't matter whether the Queen likes the County Lady or not, as long as she likes Brother Bai."
Everyone suddenly realized and felt that it made sense.
Bai Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prince An will help me."
Zhang Zhilan's eyes flickered as he looked at Bai Zhaozhao's bright smile, saying meaningfully, "Prince An also likes Brother Bai, will he...want to make the relationship closer?"
Bai Lin's face changed. He did feel that Master An had this intention, but it was not obvious. Coupled with what happened before, it was hard to say.
Bai Hao couldn't help it, "It's OK to make the relationship closer, but not Zhao Zhao! I don't agree!"
Lin Anhe immediately agreed: "That's right, huh?"
Bai Hao looked at Bai Lin meaningfully: "Brother, if Prince An is also interested in marrying you, you should put up with it for Zhao Zhao's sake!"
"What nonsense!" Bai Lin glared at Bai Hao fiercely and said in a deep voice: "I remember that the prince of Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion is already married."
Lin Anhe replied, "Indeed, there are only two young masters who have not yet married, but neither of them is from the eldest wife's house, and they can't even pass the imperial examination. They are typical playboys, and they really bring shame to our noble family! It's better to choose my family than them!"
Suddenly, Bai Hao was unhappy: "What nonsense are you talking about? You and your brother are both married!"
Lin Anhe felt very aggrieved, but did not dare to refute.
A smile flashed in Bai Lin's eyes. He vaguely knew Lin Anhe's intentions, otherwise he wouldn't always pester Bai Hao. But Bai Hao's answer, well, was very good.
Bai Zhaozhao said to Zhang Zhilan, "Thank you, Master Zhang, for telling me this news. I know my limits. If anyone asks you about my family, you can say that I have high standards and even Prince An can't do anything to me."
Zhang Zhilan suppressed the strangeness in his heart and asked calmly, "May I ask what the county lady wants?"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhiyou held his breath, afraid of missing Bai Zhaozhao's answer.
Lin Anhe also looked at Bai Zhaozhao, with anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Bai Zhaozhao said calmly: "Either you become the best martial artist in the world, or you marry into my family!"
Lin Anhe was struck by lightning: "Marry into the wife's family? How can this be possible?"
Bai Hao snorted: "Why not? My Zhao Zhao is going to marry into the family!"
Lin Anhe felt upset. If he dared to tell his father about marrying into the family, his father would definitely break his legs.
Zhang Zhilan was also shocked, but he still asked, "If the news of marrying into the family gets out, it might not be appropriate...right?"
Bai Zhaozhao laughed: "It doesn't matter, go ahead and spread it, I don't mind! After all, my real request is as difficult as marrying into the wife's family."
Zhang Zhilan's eyes darkened, and he had no choice but to say, "Okay then!"
Shen Zhiyou was also in a complicated mood, and he was not willing to accept it. He asked, "I am very curious, what is the county lady's real request?"
Fortunately, he was standing under the shade of a tree, otherwise others would have seen his ears turn red.
When Lin Anhe heard this, he looked at Bai Zhaozhao expectantly again.
Bai Zhaozhao suddenly felt that this student Shen was not as introverted as before, but she did not mind answering this question: "It's very simple, he puts me first and is willing to do everything for me! Even if I scold him a few times, he still thinks I am talented."
Lin Anhe: ...Is this considered simple? Isn't this just henpecked?
Zhang Zhilan: ...It's too difficult! His pride won't allow him to become such a person.
Shen Zhiyou: ...Give up, I am not worthy of you!
Bai Hao laughed out loud: "That's right, if you want to marry my sister, you have to be able to beat me first!"
Lin Anhe's expression calmed down. He looked at Bai Zhaozhao deeply and then sighed. He could see that Bai Zhaozhao had no interest in him. So, it was okay. A real man should be able to let go of things. So he urged Bai Hao to leave first.
Bai Lin observed the expressions of the crowd and was secretly satisfied: "Okay, let's talk about this later. Zhao Zhao, go back and rest first!"
"Okay." Bai Zhaozhao sighed as he walked. Today he had cut off the relationship between Lin An and this peach blossom!
But she didn't know that today, including Lin Anhe, she had cut off a total of three peach blossoms, and she cut them off very thoroughly.
Since that day, Cheng Jiayu often went to the restaurant on South Street to listen to stories. He also asked about Miss Qin and found out that she was indeed a frequent visitor here.
But until the end of the year was approaching and the restaurant was closing, he still didn't see Qin Sha and could only sigh that he had bad luck.
According to the rules, officials also have holidays during the Chinese New Year, but Bai Shihong was sent out by the emperor last month to take several people from the Tuntian Division to promote potatoes in various prefectures across the country. As a result, the entire Tuntian Division voluntarily contributed money and manpower, saying that their impoverished government office had risen thanks to Bai Shihong.
Therefore, only Mrs. Bai, Bai Lin and Bai Hao were left in the Bai family for the New Year. After receiving the big red envelope from Mrs. Bai, Bai Hao was so excited that he burst into tears. He finally had money again!
At night, Bai Lin went to Bai Hao's room and said seriously: "You are now a Yulin Guard. You must think twice before speaking or doing anything in the future! Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I can't save you!"
Bai Hao felt a little guilty. Did Bai Lin know about his visit to the brothel? But he had a glimmer of hope: "I... it's not that serious, right?"
