After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Wen Baizhi and the other person trotted back to the tent.

There were many people who saw the two of them along the way, and they were amazed that there were women out there who didn't care about their image so much.

Wen Baizhi doesn't care what others say.

Back in the tent, Cuizhi hurriedly took out the big boxes that Si Jiu had prepared for Wen Baizhi when she first arrived.

"I have never done any research on these clothes and jewelry, so you can do whatever you want. Just don't dress too ostentatiously."

Wen Baizhi sat there lazily, looking at Cuizhi's anxious little face while eating snacks.

Cuizhi had already figured out Wen Baizhi's preferences.

Many questions have been buried in her heart.

But she had served the young lady since she was a child.

It was she who found the young lady in the woods that day.

She would rather believe that the young lady was different from before just because of the great shock and the wound on her head.

In a short while, Cuizhi had packed up everything she needed.

Wen Baizhi glanced sideways and knew it was her turn.

So she clapped her hands, dusted off her clothes, and slowly walked towards Cuizhi.

Cuizhi spent a long time combing her hair today: "Miss, it will take a lot longer to comb your hair today than before, because the previous hair styles were too simple. After all, you are going to attend the palace banquet today, and you are the wife of the governor, so there are requirements for your hair style."

Wen Baizhi didn't even look at the mirror: "It's up to you, just don't be too ostentatious."

Cuizhi threw herself into it.

In the end, just as Cuizhi said, after everything was prepared, it actually took a full half hour longer than the previous time to return home.

Wen Baizhi couldn't help but sigh that being a delicate woman is so tiring.

But when she really saw the final product in the mirror, she felt a little happy.

Sure enough, there is no woman who doesn’t like to dress up.

While she was looking left and right in front of the mirror, Si Jiu pushed open the curtain and came in.

Cuizhi saw Sijiu come in first, and was stopped by Sijiu just as she was about to salute.

She squatted down slightly and quietly left the tent.

"Cuizhi, I think my hairpin is a little too ostentatious, why don't you change it for me?"

Wen Baizhi sat in front of the mirror, carefully examining her overall makeup effect.

Si Jiu walked forward silently, his eyes swept over the many hairpins placed on the table, and found a hairpin decorated with emerald jade.

He leaned forward from Wen Baizhi's side and reached out to pick up the hairpin.

Wen Baizhi realized he was coming when she saw his hand.

She turned around happily: "Si Jiu, why are you here at this time? The dinner should be about to start. I will leave soon."

Si Jiu smiled and looked at her: "I think this hairpin suits you very well, and it matches your lake blue outfit very well."

After saying this, he first took off the original gold hairpin, and then put on the new hairpin.

Wen Baizhi looked in the mirror and felt that Si Jiu's taste was indeed good. Just by changing the hairpin, she felt more refined.

"Not bad, not bad. How do you know how to choose a hairpin? Why do I never see you wearing a hairpin in your hair?"

Si Jiu's hair was always meticulously combed to the top of her head, tied only with a ribbon, and never with a hairpin.

Si Jiu looked at Wen Baizhi's obvious joy today and said, "Maybe it's because no one has ever given me a crown or a name before, so now I have developed this habit."

Wen Baizhi felt like a minesweeper expert. Every time she encountered a problem with Si Jiu, she would clear one mine at a time.

She hesitated: "It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future."

Si Jiu said nothing.

How could there be a chance?

Even if his father were still alive, he would not be worthy of being crowned a marquis.

Even now, no one would put a crown on an old eunuch.

He changed the subject and said, "I thought you didn't like attending palace banquets given your personality, but you seem to be in a good mood right now."

Wen Baizhi can never hide things from people she trusts: "Of course, I encountered something that made me happy today."

Si Jiu became interested: "I don't know if I am qualified to listen to any happy things you encountered."

Wen Baizhi stood up from the chair: "Of course you can, that's because I met an old friend here today, he still remembers me, if I didn't have something else today, I would have gone to drink with him tonight."

Si Jiu's fingers curled up unconsciously: "Drinking? Yes, is it a man?"

Although Wen Baizhi would not tell Si Jiu Shen Junce's name, she could still tell him who he was.

So she nodded.

Si Jiu's heart suddenly felt painful.

He opened his thin lips slightly, wanting to say something but swallowed it back.

"That's good. The last time you saw your old friend, you went back and drank sadly. I can still remember how this friend of yours today can make you feel less sad. That's good."

Wen Baizhi kept nodding, her eyes full of anticipation.

He had never seen such a look since she came to him.

All I brought to her every moment was worry about his broken body.

It was just drinking. He had drunk with her before.

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Wen Baizhi poked his arm: "Why are you so stupid? I'm ready here. You go first, I'll follow."

Only after Si Jiu was touched by her did he feel that his soul had returned to its original place.

"Okay, I'll go first. When you go, just sit anywhere you want. It's best to sit at the edge."

He was still worried that she would be discovered by Qi Yan'an.

Wen Baizhi signaled him to rest assured: "Don't worry, I'll just show up and have a simple meal and come back. I will definitely not cause you any trouble."

Si Jiu nodded with an empty mind.

For the first time, he didn't give me repeated instructions before leaving like he had done before, and he just left without saying a few words.

Wen Baizhi was a little uncomfortable with this.

After Si Jiu went out, Cuizhi came in.

"Miss, are you ready? The governor leaves Ping An to you. He will take us to the banquet later."

Wen Baizhi smiled when she heard this.

Sure enough, this was the Si Jiu she was familiar with.

After going out, he stayed there peacefully and respectfully.

"Let's go."

Ping An raised his hand and said, "Madam, please wait a moment. The governor has prepared a sedan chair for you."

Wen Baizhi asked, "Wouldn't this be too ostentatious?"

Ping An lowered his head and said, "No, the governor is the one in charge of this autumn hunt. You are the governor's wife, so it's okay for you to show off. Besides, the terrain here is complicated, and the governor is worried that you will be tired, so he specially sent a sedan chair here."

As they were talking, the sedan chair arrived.

Ping An said so, and Wen Baizhi is not the kind of person who would not enjoy his blessings.

"Then I'll wait until I see Si Jiu to thank him for his careful arrangements."

Ping An personally escorted her to the sedan chair and gave careful instructions to the bearers before lifting the sedan chair.

The second time she sat in the sedan chair, Wen Baizhi thought of the first time she sat in a sedan chair, which was the day she got married to the Governor's Mansion.

There was a world of difference between then and now.

So does Si Jiu, and so does she.
