After wearing the book, she became the emperor's favorite

Chapter 408 The Last Struggle Before the Dust Settled

Hong Shi touched Bai Yu's stomach.

Still the same as before, chubby, she guessed that he was full and had nothing to do.

But it can't be shown so openly on the face.

So I can only touch my stomach and continue to comfort him.

"Where did thousands of pets come from? I only saw that no one paid attention to me." Bai Yu rubbed his master's shoulder.

Still looking very dissatisfied.

"I was wrong, I will pay attention next time."

Hong Shi couldn't stand it any longer, so she could only apologize first. She felt that the little guy might be getting a little pushy.

But there is no way, she likes this little broken cat.

"How about you pick one, there are so many treasures here, there is always something you like."

Hong picked up a glance at the shelf next to it, where there were many wooden boxes.

It is still very suitable for picking treasures.

"I don't want it. These are all the owner's own things. They look quite precious. Take your time and I'm going to bed."

Bai Yu shook his head, then quickly ran out.

Hong Shi didn't care about it, just sighed helplessly, she felt that something was wrong, but couldn't tell.

I can only pick some treasures here, some better objects.

-

When it was almost sunset, Hong Shi took Ye Nanqiang to Duke Huguo's mansion.

Those young servants were also clever, when they saw the two of them coming, they stepped forward to greet them very respectfully.

One person led the way, and the other went forward to report.

After a while, they came to the small pavilion in the backyard.

There, an old man with an extremely peaceful face was sitting, and he seemed to be somewhat lonely.

It is inevitable that you will be lonely, losing your wife when you are young, losing your children in middle age, and when you are old, there is only one granddaughter to accompany you.

Such a day is indeed very lonely.

"Grandpa Bai, we're here to see you." Hong Shi and Ye Nanqiang quickly walked over.

The two of them spoke together, looking very tacit and obedient.

Old man Bai was moved when he heard the sound, he already knew that these two people were coming.

I just closed my eyes and rested my mind just now.

"You are free, and you are willing to come and see me, a bad old man."

Old Man Bai let out a very hearty laugh. During this period of time, he has been waiting for them very hard.

Now that the two of them have come over, I feel that this is also somewhat comforting.

But it's not easy to show it all on the surface, you still have to put on a show.

"Aren't you recovering from your injuries the past two days? Today, I just brought Xiao Ye to accompany the old man and talk to Grandpa Bai about something."

Hong Shi smiled and explained.

Regarding her resignation from the position of Marquis of Zhenbei, she should have told Mr. Bai and the others in advance.

Not too early though.

But at least it was the last struggle before the dust settled.

"What are you going to say?" Bai Changan walked over from a distance.

She happened to hear this sentence, so she asked casually.

"It's not a big deal. I'm going to resign tomorrow."

Hong Shi glanced at them and spoke very calmly.

For such a big thing, always tell them in advance.

"What? You don't intend to continue to be the Marquis of the North?"

Bai Changan was very shocked, and the expression on his face changed obviously.

Not angry, just surprised.

This martial arts competition happened to be the time when she was emerging, and it was also the time when she was in the limelight.

Why do you want to resign from this official position?

"Don't worry, listen to the girl and tell her slowly, she must have a reason for doing so."

Old man Bai put down the wine glass in his hand, and looked solemnly at the little girl in red in front of him.

Not bad, this girl is a very smart person.

Know how to stop losses in time, and also know how to restrain your edge.

Although I feel sorry, but when I think about it carefully, these things are also very normal.

Hong Shi raised her eyes and glanced at old man Bai, she was quite surprised.

She had previously felt that Mr. Bai would be somewhat unhappy.

He hesitated when he said it.

Old man Bai is the Duke Protector, who fought on the battlefield and served as a general for most of his life.

It is inevitable that he has those obsessions in his view of a military officer.

But now there is not, but it is so calm.

"I want to practice immortality well, and when my strength improves in the future, I can protect those I want to protect.

And now it's an eventful time, in the martial arts competition and the sect competition some time ago, I can be regarded as a budding figure, and there are many people who are popular. "

Hong Shi expressed his concerns.

To put it simply, she just didn't want to hear criticism from those people.

It is impossible for her to be the Marquis of this town all her life, with her own life and the people she likes.

This decision must be made sooner or later.

Rather than struggling in the future, it is better to prepare early to let go in advance.

Anyway, it is impossible for her to stay in Beiliang forever.

"Those people are just envious and jealous. They obviously don't have that ability, but they still want to envy those who have it."

Bai Changan said indignantly from the side.

She was very puzzled, why do those people have to be jealous and jealous?

Can't you be more peaceful?Just plain is fine.

"When you were young, you had a lot of glory, but people's hearts were unattainable. Whether you resign, there is something hard to say in the officialdom or the battlefield."

Old man Bai nodded.

It is also good to resign from the official position, at least not to accept the intrigue in the court.

"That's true." Hong Shi didn't know what to say, so she could only respond casually from the side.

-

At dusk, after their supper.

On the pretext of playing chess with Ye Nanqiang, old man Bai took Ye Nanqiang to the study.

And Hongshi took a walk in the Duke's Mansion with Bai Changan.

It can also be regarded as digestion, after all, walking a hundred steps after a meal can live to 99.

They are quite happy with this kind of thing.

A little cool wind blows head-on, illuminating the courtyard with moonlight.

Xu was tired from walking, so they simply found a stone pier to sit on and chat after dinner.

"You have changed a lot in the past few months." Bai Changan looked at Hong Shi, and after a long time, he said this sentence.

She really felt that Hong Shi had changed.

I used to think that this person was a very simple and kind person, but now I think she is more than that, she is very rational.

When doing many things, there are different thinking and opinions.

"That's not true, it's just that you've only gotten to know me in the past few months."

Hong Shi glanced at the bright moon in the sky.

It's really bright and clean, it happens to be a waning moon.

If a person has only seen the waning moon but not the full moon, how can he evaluate the moon objectively.

So this kind of thing is just a matter of time.

"That's right, the longer you get along, the more you can understand."

Bai Changan nodded, she was not very wise most of the time.

That's the kind of brain that can't turn around.

But Hong Shi is the kind of person with a particularly smart head, who sees things flexibly and transparently.

Alas, thinking about it, she felt a little sad.

"I would like to ask you a question."

Hong Shi seemed to have thought of something, and asked quickly.

That thing is still very important.

"Ask, it's not that I don't want you to ask."

Bai Changan spread his hands indifferently.

　Time makes the deep things go deep into the bone, and makes the shallow things leave no trace.
