Xu Zhiyuan pushed open the door of the study room and smelled a very faint aroma of sandalwood. Then what caught her eyes was a huge bookshelf full of books covering the entire wall. After entering, she turned to the left and looked to the left. There is a large table and a soft chair. There are many copper bars and documents piled on the table. It is a bit messy. It can be seen that someone has browsed here not long ago.
On the wall on the right side of the study room opposite the desk, there is a picture hanging, which reads: It is extremely cold at high places.
This is an excerpt from a famous article by the great writer "Shen Hao". It was excerpted by Bai Changqing and hung in his study room to remind himself of the need to be cautious. If you fall in a low place and you can get up again, if you fall in a high place and you can't get up, it will be fatal.
Another person came in behind Xu Zhiyuan, her sister Xu Zhidi.
As usual, the two of them took cleaning tools and came to the study to clean after their husbands left for business. This job is not heavy, but it has different meanings. The servants are not even allowed to enter the study room, so the housekeeper can come in with his head lowered in some special circumstances.
This matter is about trust, and it also means that the study is an important place in the White House.
Bai Changqing has a habit of handling everything as carefully as possible, and only after making sure that everything is in order will it be handed over. This habit allowed him to never make any major mistakes, but it also slowed down his time to deal with official duties. He often needed twice as much time to handle things that others could handle in a cup of tea.
Therefore, the four or five hours left alone were not enough for Bai Changqing to complete the errands of the day, so he could only take the accumulated official work back home and continue doing it. The study is where he works at home, and naturally he stores a lot of official-related things, many of which are Yamen secrets that are difficult to disclose to the public.
Now the Xu sisters are the most trusted by Bai Changqing in the entire Bai Mansion. They are the mistresses of the Bai Mansion, and the task of cleaning up the study naturally falls on them.
"Click!" With a soft sound, Xu Zhidi closed the door after entering, and carefully listened behind the door, as if to confirm if anyone was following behind. Then he nodded to his sister Xu Zhiyuan, who had already walked to the desk, and then walked over.
"Sister, did you read the new news yesterday? What were you talking about? You were laughing and laughing in your bed most of the night?"
"Yeah?! Did you hear that?"
"Well! My husband's snoring woke me up. I vaguely heard you laughing secretly and still huddled in the bed. Why are you laughing so happily? It must have something to do with the news you received after dinner. Bar?"
Two sisters who serve the same husband naturally eat and live together, and Bai Changqing is good at it, so it is normal for the three of them to sleep together from the beginning.
After dinner last night, her sister Xu Zhiyuan went to the flower wall in the backyard for a walk. Xu Zhidi cooperated with her husband Bai Changqing to make time for her sister, because she knew that the flower wall was an intelligence "window" between them and the outside world. , whether they hand it out or bring it in from outside, they always pass it through a small hidden gap in the flower wall.
From then until the next day, Xu Zhidi did not have a good opportunity to talk in detail with her sister. The time in the study room early in the morning was the time they often used to talk privately.
Xu Zhiyuan nodded and said with a smile: "There are good things, great things!"
"Yeah! Say it, say it!"
There are no secrets between the two sisters now, and they have a common goal. The feelings or family ties are as inseparable as flesh and blood. Therefore, as soon as the elder sister Xu Zhiyuan said something good, the younger sister Xu Zhidi's eyes lit up. She understood what was coming from outside now. "Good thing" must be related to their plan, and it is the kind that adds fuel to the flames.
Sure enough, I heard Xu Zhiyuan say in a slightly lower voice: "My husband's opportunity has come!"
"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Xu Zhidi was stunned for a moment, then said with wide-eyed surprise: "Sister, are you saying that our previous guesses have come true? That adult wants to give me a push?!"
"Yes! According to the information that has been passed in, we are expected to pay close attention to your husband's words and deeds recently, especially his words, deeds and documents against Old Man Cao."
Xu Zhidi blinked her eyes, but didn't quite understand: "Sister, does this have anything to do with that adult trying to push our husband? Someone named Cao is an obstacle to our husband. Is it normal for outsiders to want this information?"
"Huh, is this normal? Have you ever received similar requests before?"
"Huh? That's not true."
"To the outside, the two of us are just two top-secret chess pieces. We will not use them until the most critical moment. Since there is a sudden request, it must be that Cao is about to have a big problem recently, and the outside wants to see my husband. Deal with it. And how did that adult know that there was going to be a problem with the person named Cao? It's not like they were going to punish him."
This logic seems a bit rigid, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense, and the more you think about it, the more you think it is.
"Sister! You are so powerful. If this is really the case, then it will not be far away for your husband to become the left prime minister! Our plan is closer to success!" Xu Zhidi's pretty face turned red with excitement, and she said to herself My sister is confident that this guess is absolutely correct. At the same time, she also had confidence in that adult, believing that as long as that adult was willing to give her husband a push, the possibility of her husband taking over would be almost certain.
Like her younger sister Xu Zhidi, Xu Zhiyuan was also very excited. She was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time last night. But at the same time she was excited, she was more cautious than her sister, so she patted the other party on the shoulder and said: "Don't get carried away! Remember what I told you before? It's only the first time that your husband can successfully ascend to the position of left prime minister. There are still many hurdles to overcome if we want to draw a clear line between ourselves and those outside while preserving our current lives! Remember not to make any mistakes!"
"Yeah! Sister, don't worry, I understand. But..."
"Just tell me what you have to say, why are you hesitating?" Xu Zhiyuan began to clean up the desk while talking to her sister happily.
"Sister, can your husband really accept our identity? What if..."
Xu Zhiyuan paused while packing her things, and then continued: "I don't know, but at least there are two little guys here, and my husband will not be ungrateful. You also know my husband's temper over the years, even if he has some feelings in his heart Although he is a pimple, he will never act in an unreasonable manner.
In addition, confessing everything to her husband was the last choice, and it was also a choice that forced the adult. Hopefully we don't have to get to that point. "
After talking for a few words, the two began to clean up the study, closed the door and left.
When the two left, they didn't notice a Baifu gardener squatting in a flower garden more than 20 feet outside the door of the study, pouring soil.
