Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape
Chapter 100 A New Beginning
The woman took a step forward and asked uncertainly, "Master Lin? Is it Master Lin Ruogui?"
"That's right! That's right!" Lin Ruogui hurriedly stepped off the carriage, staggered to the woman, took her hand and said with tears in his eyes, "It's been five years since we last met in Zhuzhou. I didn't expect to see you again today. General Zhu, did you rebuild Qing County here?"
Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi also jumped down from the carriage. Bai Zhi pushed aside the crowd, scooped up the two children, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Lin woke up at the right time."
General Zhu sighed, "Lord Lin, it's a long story. Let's go into the city first."
"well."
The carriage turned around, Bai Zhi flicked the whip, and drove the car towards the city following a row of spearmen. General Zhu and Lin Ruogui in the carriage behind them started chatting incessantly.
"Master Lin, I have no choice but to treat you this way. Qing County has no government officials and it is a private city. If this matter spreads to the capital, the sisters who guard the city will lose their heads."
"General Zhu, when you were the governor, you should have led a group of people from Qing County to Weizhou. Why did you come back here to rebuild the city?"
"We first led the people to Qing County. Qing County is surrounded by water and mountains, and the road to Weizhou is difficult to travel. Most of the people are old, weak, women and children. I asked the large group of people to camp on the spot, and took a few sisters to the Weizhou government office to ask them to send more carriages to take the people over. As a result, alas, General Gu had previously withdrawn the female officials, and my general token had been taken away long ago. I couldn't prove my identity. Of course, the Weizhou government office didn't listen to me, so I had to return to Qing County, rebuild the city, and set up a garrison. All I did was head-breaking work, and I've been making do until now."
"Where is the governor now?"
"After rebuilding Qing County, I once inquired about his news and heard that... he had died for his country."
The horse neighed and stopped, Bai Zhi knocked on the carriage board: "General Zhu, Madam Lin, we have arrived at the posthouse."
General Zhu said, "Lord Lin, you came in a hurry. Go to the inn and rest first. I will send someone to arrange a house for you."
"Please trouble General Zhu."
"There are too few available people in Qing County. I am both a general and a county magistrate, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions. Now I finally have someone to ask for advice. After you are settled, I will come and talk to Lord Lin in detail." General Zhu got off the car and asked a few people to help them unload a car of luggage. Lin Ruogui did not ask General Zhu to wait. After putting away the things, he took the carriage with her to the government office.
The two-month long journey was finally over. Bai Zhi fell headfirst onto the bed, so tired that she couldn't even lift a finger. She just wanted to sleep for three days and three nights.
While lying there, Bai Zhi heard Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi plotting something. She didn't even bother to raise her eyelids and shouted, "You two should behave yourself. We are unfamiliar with this place, don't run around."
Qiaoqiao: "Don't worry, miss. Let's go pick a good house. I have money with me. We'll be back soon."
How could General Zhu explain buying a house? She still had to arrange the house... But Bai Zhi was too lazy to say more, so she just mumbled, "Go, don't leave the city."
After a series of clattering sounds of people coming down the stairs, Bai Zhi fell into a coma-like sleep.
Two hours later, Bai Zhi was woken up by someone.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Qiao Wanwan's face. She was wearing a light armor of the city defenders, and her eyes were unusually bright: "We meet each other everywhere in the world! It's amazing that I can run into you here! How did you get here!"
Bai Zhi was so sleepy that she thought she had not yet left the mansion. It was as if the four thousand miles of hard travel over the past two months had just turned into a dream. She suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and cursed.
Qiao Wanwan: "...You are such a heartless person. This is the first thing you say when old friends meet again." She pulled Bai Zhi's ear with a bad look on her face, "Don't you want to see me?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it hurts!" Bai Zhi was awoke from the pinch and quickly said, "No, no, I was sleepy!"
Qiao Wanwan then let go. Bai Zhi rubbed her red ears and asked, "Didn't you go home? Why are you here?"
"Don't mention it. It was just a coincidence." Qiao Wanwan said, "I was going home, but I got lost and ended up here. I thought I'd come in to rest, and then I was interrogated by the city guards. They said they didn't believe I got here by taking a detour, and they insisted that I tell the truth. I couldn't make up a story, and seeing that there were female soldiers here, I had to say that I came here to join the army. Anyway, it was half the truth." Qiao Wanwan smiled, as if she had thought of something funny. "After all this, I actually became a city guard. You know, there's no coincidence in the world."
"You're really going to do this head-losing job?"
"I have heard General Zhu say that, but Qing County is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the news is so isolated, it should be... not possible." Qiao Wanwan's voice became smaller and smaller, "Don't scare me."
Bai Zhi couldn't help but say, "You are really stupid. Don't worry, fools have good fortune. Not only will you not lose your head, but one day you will be a real soldier with a brand."
"You are stupid."
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Why did you come to see me? You just walked into the room like this. It must be General Zhu who asked you to see me for something."
Qiao Wanwan slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I almost forgot something. General Zhu said the house has been arranged and asked me to come and call you. He also said that the two children you brought are also there. I knocked on the door for a long time but there was no sound. I thought someone was dead inside, so I rushed in. I didn't expect to see a dead person, but you."
Bai Zhi: "...Okay, help me pack my luggage."
The luggage that had been taken down was moved back as it was. Bai Zhi saw that Qiao Wanwan had become more skillful after serving as a city guard for a while, so she felt at ease to let her drive. Who knew that this ancestor had a good physique, but her driving skills were terrible. When they arrived at the door of the house, Bai Zhi was only left with one breath, and she leaned against the front window and weakly accused Qiao Wanwan: "If I sit in your car again in my life, I'm crazy."
"I... I've only practiced boxing, kicking and spearmanship here, how can I know this? Who told you to make me a coachman?" Qiao Wanwan coughed twice, "Besides, you still need to practice... Rest here and then go in."
Bai Zhi scolded her and leaned against the front window to enjoy the cool breeze.
The rice was just cooked at this moment. Bai Zhi took a deep breath of the rice smell in the air and felt her mind awakened.
"Bai Zhi, you brought them out." Qiao Wanwan looked at the people laughing and chatting in the house from a distance, "That's Qiaoqiao, right? The other one is the literate child you brought with you. What's his name?"
"Lin Chuqi, the person next to him is his mother." Bai Zhi smiled warmly and replied lazily, "Luckily I brought him and his mother out, otherwise I would have suffered the same fate as you."
"Okay, you're the only one who can do it. Hey, you haven't told me yet, why are you here?"
"It's a long story." Bai Zhi closed her eyes and listened to the bustling noises from the distant shopping street. She made her voice as slow and long as the setting sun. "There's a long time to go. I'll tell you slowly."
"Okay, then you can rest today. Your house is a good place for Feng Shui. I will come to visit you often in the future."
"Don't come empty-handed."
"Look at how stingy you are."
Next to the carriage, a mother and daughter walked hand in hand, chatting loudly:
"Mother, what is a legitimate wife or a concubine?"
"Enemy tree? Ah... it should be that tree planted by the enemy."
In April of the same year, the emperor died. His will was made public, abolishing the crown prince and passing the throne to the seventh prince. The new emperor ascended the throne and changed the reign title to Xiangyuan. Dozens of nursing homes were built in the northern border and the capital to accommodate refugees.
In June, the new emperor personally led the army to fight, beheaded the deposed prince on the battlefield, imprisoned all the ministers implicated in the incident, and pardoned all the soldiers who followed the deposed prince.
In July, the new emperor issued an edict to redress the injustice, stating the truth about King Jing's rebellion. The people of the country were outraged and asked to be lingchied to death for all the people in Xuanping Marquis's mansion. At the end of the month, the first-rank imperial wife of Xuanping Marquis's mansion, the Marquis of Xuanping, and the second son of the Marquis's mansion were beheaded in the street. The third son of the Marquis's mansion committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment, and all the servants in the mansion were pardoned. The new emperor granted King Jing's heir the title of King Jing, and allowed him to return to his hometown and rebuild the thirteen states.
In August, the vine flowers in the Thirteen States slowly bloom.
