Chapter 208 A dead Taoist friend is not dead but a poor Taoist
It seemed like a long time had passed before Cheng Jiayu woke up and saw nothingness around him. It turned out that he had come to his sea of consciousness again, and the system light ball was floating not far away.
He was confused and asked, "What's going on? Why am I here again?"
System: "I brought you here."
"You? Why are you..." Suddenly Cheng Jiayu took a step back and asked cautiously: "What are you going to do?"
The system light ball slowly floated in front of him: "Of course...eat you!"
Then, Cheng Jiayu felt as if he was frozen in place, unable to speak or move. He just watched helplessly as the system light ball devoured his soul bit by bit, feeling desperate and helpless.
Finally, Cheng Jiayu on the ground slowly opened her eyes, stood up slowly, straightened her clothes expressionlessly, twisted her neck which was still not used to it, and said softly: "Since it is a soul binding, and I don't want to pay the price, then I can only possess you, and the binding will automatically become invalid. Didn't expect that!"
Cheng Jiayu, oh no, Cheng System used props to change his appearance and walked out of the inn. He was going back to the capital to look for the next host. Because his soul was not compatible with the human body, Cheng Jiayu's body would rot sooner or later.
Beijing.
Princess Changxing suddenly felt a palpitation, followed by a feeling of relief, as if some shackles had disappeared from her.
She was a little confused and didn't know what was wrong with her. Suddenly, she found herself a little funny. So what if Cheng Jiayu ran away? She didn't really marry him. Why should she become sick with worry about him?
So she stopped being depressed, took medicine to take care of her health, and asked the secret guards to stop looking for Cheng Jiayu.
After the Queen Mother learned about her recent situation, she sent a lot of supplements, hoping that she would cheer up. After all, she was her granddaughter and now that she had no one to rely on, she should be taken care of and not let her be bullied.
The summer is hot, it is the season of scorching heat.
White House.
When Bai Shihong appeared in front of Bai Zhaozhao, she almost didn't recognize him.
"Dad! Why are you so dark?"
That's right, all the skin exposed to the outside of Bai Shihong turned dark. He said helplessly, "It's all because of farming! In the past, I studied hard to become a teacher in order to avoid working in the fields. Now that I'm an official, I have to farm instead."
Bai Lin laughed and said, "Dad, you can't say that. In the past, farming was just a way to make a living, but now farming can get you promoted. You're even better than me!"
Bai Shihong said proudly: "Of course, you still want to surpass your father? No way!"
Indeed, Bai Shihong had just returned to Beijing a few days ago and brought back records of his potato planting in many places.
Many places have achieved a bumper harvest of potatoes this spring, and many people regard Bai Shihong as a living Bodhisattva.
Now various places reported this happy event to the court. Emperor Yongkang was extremely surprised and directly promoted Bai Shihong three levels, making him the head of the Tuntian Division!
Of course, he couldn't stay in the capital for long and had to go somewhere else to teach about potatoes.
Bai Lin echoed, "Yes, yes, you are a high-ranking official, even your seventh cousin cannot compare to you!"
Bai Shikang was not jealous at all: "Although I am not as high-ranking as you, I will not farm, and I will stay in Beijing."
It has to be said that Bai Shikang always knows Bai Shihong’s pain points.
Bai Shihong snorted coldly: "It took you ten years to get to the capital as an official, and you are only a fifth-rank official. How can you compare with me?"
Bai Shikang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but my son is getting married! Maybe in two years, I'll have a grandson!"
Bai Lin's body trembled, and he had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Bai Shihong glared at him and said, "What do you know? I gave birth to a child late, but I gave birth to a good one! My son will be the same in the future!"
Bai Lin: ...
"Most importantly, I can still pick up a daughter!"
Bai Shikang frowned: "You... humph!"
Bai Zhaozhao also had a bad feeling and hurriedly said, "Dad, Seventh Uncle, my brother and I have something else to do, so we'll leave first!"
As expected, when there are more people, there will be more liveliness. This has to start with Lord Zhong. Due to the reorganization of the structure, he was short of people. It happened that the term of office of the eldest son of Linyang County, the prefect Zhong, had expired, so he was successfully transferred back to the capital, and Bai Shikang was also transferred at the same time.
Naturally, the business in Linyang County could not be abandoned, so before leaving, Prefect Zhong recommended several people from the Zhang family, and at the same time let Bai Shiwen take over Bai Shikang's previous position as Tongzhi.
In addition, Bai Che from the fourth branch of the Bai family also came to the capital with his family, preparing to open the Sihai Chamber of Commerce here. Of course, this was thanks to Emperor Yongkang.
Because he associated the potato harvest with the drought in Yuzhou, he called Ji Yuanda to express his feelings. Ji Yuanda praised the Sihai Chamber of Commerce highly. Emperor Yongkang agreed with him and gave the Sihai Chamber of Commerce an imperial plaque with a stroke of his pen.
Bai Zhaozhao knew that the Bai family was really going to rise now. They had bought several houses in the capital!
Of course, having a lot of people also has its disadvantages, for example, several elders are very concerned about Bai Zhaozhao's marriage.
Mrs. Bai was rude to outsiders and kept pushing the matter to Princess An. However, when faced with the concern of the Bai family's own people, she was gradually persuaded. After all, Bai Zhaozhao was already seventeen years old, and even if she didn't get married for the time being, she had to prepare for an engagement.
As a result, Bai Zhaozhao was questioned by several cousins and Mrs. Bai.
It’s not that Bai Zhaozhao is being pretentious. If fate brings them together, it would be fine to have a relationship that takes its natural course. But she has a vague feeling in her heart that it’s not appropriate to get married now.
There was no other way. Based on the principle of "a friend's death is better than the poor's", Bai Zhaozhao said, "The order of seniority should be respected. Brother Bai Hao is about to get married... no, he is about to get married, but Brother Bai Lin is still single. How unsuitable! How about we think about Brother Bai Lin's marriage first?"
Several aunts suddenly realized: It makes sense!
Mrs. Bai hesitated: "But your father said that he is not suitable for early marriage."
Bai Zhaozhao blinked: "That was last year. How can it be the same this year?"
Mrs. Bai's eyes lit up, and she talked enthusiastically with several aunts about several young ladies in the capital.
Soon Bai Lin felt the pain of being urged to get married, but Bai Hao would still say something sarcastic: "As the saying goes, success in officialdom but failure in love, it really is true! Unlike me, I am successful in both officialdom and love!"
Bai Lin frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I become frustrated?"
Bai Hao exposed her: "Stop pretending, I know you have someone in your heart!"
Bai Lin was shocked. He had been hiding it very well. How did Bai Hao know about it?
Bai Hao was even more proud: "I didn't work in the Yulin Guard for nothing. I have some ability to read people's expressions!"
Bai Lin was helpless. It seemed that ever since Bai Hao came to his senses, he had suddenly turned into a great lover and was extremely kind to Princess Rouping. So he might have really seen it based on his own experience!
In this case, I can only be honest: "You... won't tell anyone, right?"
Bai Hao was stunned for a moment, and looked at him sympathetically: "Of course! After all, it's impossible for you."
Bai Lin nodded, a trace of loneliness flashed across his eyes, and he turned back to his room. He took out a book and started reading until late at night, when his heart gradually calmed down.
Just as he was about to go to sleep, a voice suddenly rang in his mind: "The mall trading system invites you to bind! As long as the exchange is equal, you will be able to rise to the top of your life! Please choose to agree or give up!"
