Chapter 167

Although Bai Xian went through several long journeys with Shao Yue, and her physical strength was quite good among ordinary women, she lost her strength to move and play after half an hour of horse walking practice. Shen Yunqing next to her was even worse. She just stood for two minutes and fell to the ground.

Shao Yue helped Bai Xian up and sat on the ground. He couldn't even care about his manners. His eyes were full of heartache. He still smiled and said words of encouragement: "today is the first day. It's always harder. It's better to wait a few more days."

Bai Xian reluctantly supported himself, stood straight and nodded at Shaoyue: "OK, Yunqing and I will insist. General, please take a moment and let me change my clothes."

She called Ziyun to help Shen Yunqing back to the room to rest. She went back and changed into a homely women's dress. Her hair was scattered. She only tied up the two bundles above. Coupled with her tired white face, Bai Xian looked particularly gentle and weak. She came to the main room of the outer courtyard and met Shaoyue.

"General, thank you for teaching our sisters martial arts. By the way, the Emperor didn't mention rewarding Shao Jiajun in the imperial court today?"

Although the Emperor didn't blame the fake imperial edict, he only gave the Shao family when granting the reward, and didn't mention the Shao family army who saved Dayin in the water and fire. Bai Xian and Shaoyue were also very surprised. Bai Xian was worried that the emperor had left a bad impression on the Shao family army in his heart.

Shao Yue was also worried, because this was the first time he returned from winning a battle. He only rewarded the commander, not other soldiers. According to the style of today's holy emperor, it has always been a heavy reward for generals and a small reward for soldiers.

Therefore, when he went to the court today, Shao Yue held his breath and lowered his head slightly. He didn't dare to look at the Dragon chair at all, but the emperor was the emperor. For controlling people's hearts, the emperor was well deserved to be the first in the world.

As soon as the Court opened, the emperor said that Yuan Feng, the general of Fengcheng, led troops to reinforce Shaoyue, guarded the city of Yunnan and repulsed the WAN army, but he left the city without an order. His merits and demerits offset each other, and he will not be rewarded or punished.

Hearing this, the upright old general Shao had to plead on the spot. Shao Yue, who was standing behind him, pulled his clothes twice. Only then did he resist talking.

When Bai Xian heard Shao Yue talking about what had just happened, he couldn't help but feel cold. Should the emperor's order be required to dispatch troops in the future? That is not to ask the soldiers to predict each other's strategy, which is simply impossible.

Just then, Xiaochun and Xiaohua put up the breakfast. Bai Xian and Shaoyue had a late breakfast together.

As if to remove the cold in her heart, Bai Xian took a sip of almond paste with a spoon. Unexpectedly, she burned her tongue. In front of Shaoyue, she was embarrassed to spit it out and forced herself to swallow it.

Shao Yue saw Bai Xian's expression was wrong and immediately asked, "xian'er, are you hot?"

Bai Xian smiled bitterly and shook her head gently: "it's okay, let the general laugh." in fact, her tongue really hurts. Bai Xian bet that the tip of her tongue must be red now.

"Recently, the general advised the old general to be patient for a while. Although the holy master didn't blame us for what we did in this war, he must be unhappy. If the holy master didn't say this, he might have a greater opinion of the Shao family."

Shao Yue nodded and expressed his understanding: "on the way back to the house just now, I persuaded my grandfather. My grandfather also said that he was dedicated to the country and the people. Even if he aroused the emperor's suspicion, he would not change his behavior. It really gave me a headache."

Old children, old children, many old people are getting older, but their temper and character become as capricious as children. Bai Xian suddenly remembered her grandfather in modern times. Although she only got along with her grandfather for a few years, she really likes to care about herself, love herself, and don't value boys over girls.

Her eyes and tone became soft: "the general must not worry. The holy master must know the old general's temperament very well, so the old general can act in accordance with his usual style. The general just needs to tell the rest of the house and some relatives and fellow robes. He must be careful recently. If he can't bear it, he will make a big plan."

Shao Yue looked at Bai Xian, who was confident and calm. The panic in her heart dissipated in her whispered words. He couldn't help but want to grab Bai Xian's hand, but the next second his hand was about to touch Bai Xian's hand, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Bai Xian took back his hand and continued to drink soup.

Swallowing his loss, Shaoyue said, "you have just been appointed an official these days. There must be a lot of people staring at you. When everyone's attention turns elsewhere in a few days, I'll take you back to Shao's house. My grandfather and father have long wanted to see you."

Bai Xian couldn't control her blush. What Shao Yue said was really misleading. She just went to the mansion to ask for policy. How did he say it like seeing her parents? She bowed her head and avoided Shao Yue's hot eyes: "OK, I understand."

The next time, Bai Xian ate silently, while Shao Yue thought no one was aware of it and quietly looked up at Bai Xian.

After breakfast, Shao Yue had no reason to stay, so he had to leave Bai's house reluctantly, while Bai Xian called steward Li and Shen Yunqing to discuss going out to rent a shop.

As soon as Shen Yunqing came in and saw Bai Xian alone, she knew that Shao Yue had left. She looked at Bai Xian with funny eyes: "sister, is general Shao gone?"

Bai Xian knew what she wanted to say as soon as she looked at her expression. She immediately pointed to the next chair and said, "have Yunqing sat down and had breakfast? Housekeeper Li will come right away. Maybe we'll go to the street later."

Shen Yunqing lived outside Luodu city for so long, but she came to Luodu for shopping only a few times. There was no other reason. The guards didn't live in other hospitals. She didn't dare to take Bai Mu out. She was worried about insecurity. When she heard that she could go to the street, she immediately took back her funny eyes and made a solemn expression, waiting for housekeeper Li to come in.

As soon as housekeeper Li entered the door, Bai Xian pulled him to a chair and sat down. Although housekeeper Li was her servant, she just asked Shaoyue about housekeeper Li's past. At this time, she had treated housekeeper Li as a reliable elder.

"Uncle Li, please sit down. I have something to ask you."

Housekeeper Li was really moved when he saw that Bai Xian respected himself so much: "girl, what can I do for you?"

Bai Xian thought of what he was going to say next and was a little embarrassed: "Uncle Li, I want to ask what the emperor rewarded? Those things were piled up in the yard yesterday, and I didn't look carefully."

Housekeeper Li admires Bai Xian. Such an ordinary girl has become a four grade female official with her own ability. Even among the aristocratic family ladies trained since childhood, few are as smart as Bai Xian.

"Girl, last night Agui and I checked everything into the warehouse. There were 500 taels of gold, 20 pieces of fashionable silk and satin, 20 pieces of colorful furnishings, calligraphy and paintings, and two boxes of jewelry."

Unexpectedly, the emperor was not stingy and rewarded so many things. Bai Xian said, "Uncle Li, take out one hundred liang of gold for me first, and then you can keep fifty Liang for daily flowers."

Uncle Li quickly asked Agui to take out a tray of gold ingots. Bai Xian looked at Agui and said, "Agui, take this money and let's go out together."

Not long ago, Bai Xian and Shen Yunqing were in a carriage. Ah GUI drove the carriage. Several people came to the most prosperous area in Luodu. There was a street selling jewelry and cloth. Shen Yunqing quietly lifted the curtain on the small window. Seeing that the carriage was passing by quickly and brought fragrant wind, he guessed that it must be a woman in the car.

Bai Xian patted Shen Yunqing's hand with disapproval: "Yunqing, put down the curtain quickly."
