Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Bai Zhi told Qiaoqiao the story behind this. The original owner was really well-read, and she could quote classics in her mind just by putting two words in it.

Qiaoqiao was surprised as she listened: "Miss, this man can pull such a heavy bow, he is so amazing."

"If you study hard, you might be able to do it." Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Come on, recite it again."

After reciting the previous sentence yesterday, Qiaoqiao seemed to have a sudden enlightenment and recited this sentence word for word. Baizhi was so smart that she just finished teaching the whole paragraph, then spread out the book and pointed at Qiaoqiao: "Qiaoqiao, come and write it again from the book."

Qiaoqiao asked suspiciously, "Miss, aren't you going to write to me?"

Bai Zhi said: "Miss also learned to write by herself back then, you should also try to learn from her."

Qiaoqiao responded and buried her head in learning to write stroke by stroke.

Bai Zhi held up her chin and looked at Qiaoqiao, saying, "Qiaoqiao, when you finish writing it, make a straw man for me."

As I recall, Qiaoqiao was very good at tinkering with these straw-woven and wooden gadgets, and she would make a straw man, bamboo bird or wooden grasshopper for the original owner from time to time.

Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Okay! It's been a while since I made a straw man for you, young lady!"

Bai Zhi: "Just tie it casually, the cruder the better. I plan to use this to disgust Ge Zhen."

Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, then she almost jumped up with joy after she understood Baizhi's meaning: "Miss! Don't worry!"

Qiaoqiao quickly finished her homework, ran out to pull some grass from the ground, and began to make a straw man with great concentration. Baizhi pierced her little finger with a needle, dipped it in the blood, and wrote the name of Madam Gu neatly on the face of the straw man, then stabbed the needle hard into the straw man.

"Changfeng!"

Changfeng appeared outside the window.

Bai Zhi handed the straw man over and added two taels of silver: "Give it to Chef Zhang, and tell him to find a way to use it to harm the Madam."

Changfeng took the straw man and paused for a while, then whispered, "Thank you, Miss Bai."

Bai Zhi: “?”

Before Bai Zhi could react, Changfeng disappeared again.

What are you thanking me for? Thanking me for framing the eldest lady?

Qiaoqiao came over and asked, "Miss, who is Chef Zhang?"

Baizhi briefly explained the whole story to Qiaoqiao.

"Miss, why ask him to figure it out on his own? Can he figure it out?"

"I think Chef Zhang is bold and careful, and he might have an unexpected surprise. Besides," Bai Zhi looked back at Qiaoqiao, "no matter whether he can come up with a solution or not, and no matter what solution he comes up with, this matter will not be traced back to me in the end."

Qiaoqiao blinked and nodded thoughtfully.

Baizhi began her life of recuperation again.

On the surface, she only had a skin wound on her neck, and she would be able to see people after lying down for seven or ten days. Bai Zhi only said that she had caught a cold, and asked Ming Xin to guard the gate of Yishuiyuan. As usual, she lay in the yard to bask in the sun, but this time there was no Gu Yan to accompany her.

Gu Yan was busy these days. He left early and came back late every day. Bai Zhi was also happy to be free. Every day, she either taught Qiaoqiao to read or watched Xu the cook cook. Otherwise, she would look at the flowers and plants growing naturally in the yard, and walk back and forth in the pavilion to enjoy the breeze. She looked like an old man who had returned to the fields long ago.

There was no movement from Chef Zhang, and Qiaoqiao was getting a little anxious, but Baizhi was quite calm.

The ointment given by Fang Zhiheng was quite effective. After using it for ten days, the bruises on his neck disappeared without a trace and his hands were able to barely hold chopsticks.

At this time, news came that a banquet was going to be held at the mansion.

Bai Zhi was concentrating on recuperating in Yishui Garden, and basically didn't ask about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. Qiaoqiao came back to tell her about the banquet. It was said that the Marquis of Xuanping was promoted, and the second master also got an official position, so they held a banquet to celebrate.

Baizhi followed Qiaoqiao out of Yishuiyuan for a stroll. The servants in the mansion were busy cleaning and decorating the place, especially the main hall, where a row of carved lanterns were hung, as if it was a festival.

Gu Yan came back quite early today and happened to run into Bai Zhi at the gate of Yishuiyuan.

Bai Zhi joked: "Oh, you came back earlier than the sun today."

Gu Yan's eyes were blue, but his face was radiant. He smiled and said, "I came back specially to accompany Madam for a feast."

As soon as it got dark, a group of lanterns were lit in the marquis' mansion.

Old Madam Gu ordered several tables to be set up in the outer courtyard, and specifically sent word to the servants from each room to come and share in the good cheer. Bai Zhi brought Qiaoqiao, Mingxin, Cook Xu, and Lin Chuqi along, and arranged a small table for them, so that the four of them could enjoy a table of food all to themselves to avoid competing with others.

As soon as Gu Yan and Bai Zhi entered the door, Xuan Ping Hou and Gu Lao Er surrounded them. Xuan Ping Hou smiled innocently and kept patting Gu Yan on the shoulder: "Thanks to my third brother, thanks to my third brother."

Gu Yan put on a humble look and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? I just lent a little help, and the rest is all thanks to your intelligence."

The second Gu seemed smarter and more slick than his eldest brother. He praised Gu Yanhao and at the end he did not forget to show concern for Bai Zhi: "Third sister-in-law, I heard that you caught a cold. Are you feeling better now?"

Bai Zhi bowed slightly and said politely: "Thank you for your concern, Brother. I am fine now."

"Oh, my third brother and his wife are here, please take a seat." Qiao Wanwan came over with a handkerchief in her hand. "Third brother and his wife, my third brother has done something great during the days you have been recuperating. Third brother, have you told your wife about it?"

Gu Yan: "Second sister-in-law, I haven't had time to explain it to Zhi'er in detail."

Qiao Wanwan took Bai Zhi's hand and said, "In that case, you two brothers can chat for a while while I talk to my third brother and his wife."

Bai Zhi was dragged by Qiao Wanwan all the way to the side hall.

Qiao Wanwan closed the door and resumed her vigorous and decisive demeanor. She got straight to the point and said, "Third sister-in-law, how have you thought about the previous matter?"

Bai Zhi poured herself a cup of tea and said, "Second sister-in-law, I will give you an answer at the beginning of next month."

Qiao Wanwan looked unhappy: "Third sister-in-law, you keep delaying, are you trying to trick me?"

Bai Zhi also poured a cup of tea for Qiao Wanwan, looked at her leisurely and smiled, "Second sister-in-law, aren't you going to tell me in detail about the great things Gu Yan did? Pull me in to talk in detail. It would be bad if I don't know anything after I leave here."

Qiao Wanwan turned around twice and laughed herself out of anger: "Okay, you really are my nemesis." She sat down opposite Bai Zhi, "But I don't know much. I just heard that my third brother met a friend in a romantic place a while ago. This person and my third brother had a good chat. After a few exchanges, my third brother found out that this person was actually the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, so he introduced both the Marquis and Gu Shou to him. Just like that, the Marquis was promoted and Gu Shou also had a job with the government."
