Jinyu Dynasty 7 Quenching Mirror

Xuan Huaifeng didn't know the rules of the Bai family, should he avoid it at this time, or should he follow in?According to the situation just now, Bai Xuelan's mother has already shown some dissatisfaction with her, if she acts without authorization, it may increase the other party's resentment.

While hesitating, someone tapped him lightly on the shoulder.

Adjutant Sun asked in a low voice, "Why are you standing still? It's just a little bit of a slap in the face, and it didn't really do anything to you. Are you timid now? Come in with me."

As he spoke, he led Xuan Huaifeng up the steps and into the door.

The room was an exquisitely furnished living room. Adjutant Sun didn't go too far inside, but stood by the wall with his hands down when he reached the door.In this strange place, Xuan Huaifeng never had the idea of ​​acting on his own, he followed Adjutant Sun's example and stood with his hands down.

According to the rules of the big family, when children and grandchildren return from a long journey, they must kowtow to their parents.After Bai Xuelan helped Mrs. Bai in, she helped Mrs. Bai sit in a grand chair. A maid had already taken a soft cushion and placed it on the ground.

Bai Xuelan knelt on the cushion, kowtowed respectfully to Mrs. Bai.

Xuan Huaifeng watched from the side, feeling a sense in his heart, this person is lawless outside, so it turns out that when he is in front of his parents, he will also become very well-behaved.

From Bai Xuelan, I thought of myself.

I thought to myself, it is only natural for a son to respect, love and be filial to his mother.If my mother could sit in front of me and let me kowtow to her, even if I kowtowed a few catties of blood, I would be willing.

But she died so early, I just want to kowtow to my mother, and this wish cannot be fulfilled in my life.

Therefore, for Bai Xuelan's parents, she felt an indescribable envy.

Mrs. Bai looked at her son under her knees, and watched with loving eyes. When Bai Xuelan kowtowed, she quickly ordered, "Get up quickly. It's very cold, don't freeze your knees."

Call the maid around to help the young master.

Bai Xuelan didn't need to wait for someone to help her, she got up immediately, patted the ashes on her knees, and said to Mrs. Bai, "Mother, I brought a lot of good things to honor you, please take a look quickly."

Turning his head, he said to the two adjutants, "The two boxes of presents for my wife have to be delivered here."

Mrs. Bai said, "The thing won't grow legs anymore, what's the hurry? Have you eaten yet?"

Bai Xuelan said casually, "I've eaten."

Mrs. Bai lowered her face and said, "You child, in front of your own mother, you are lying when you open your mouth. You were born in my womb. I can't tell if your stomach is full or empty?"

Bai Xuelan said with a playful smile, "You are really sharper than Erlang God's eyes, and you can see through my belly. But I dare not lie to you, because I was busy on the road, and I ate two bites of dry food on the horse, so it is right to eat it , count as half full."

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she felt sorry for her son's hardships on the road, and she ordered the servants to prepare the meal in one voice, and said, "Young master is hungry, so you don't need too delicate dishes, so hurry up and cook them. Hot white rice, big pieces Roast pork, and braised chicken nuggets, these three things are a must."

After sending the footman away, he turned his eyes to the two adjutants standing aside and said calmly, "You guys also go down to eat."

The two looked at Bai Xuelan.

Bai Xuelan nodded, and the two of them replied "yes" to Mrs. Bai and backed out together.

At the bottom of the steps outside the house, the two of them did not speak, they walked through the small garden and left the Moon Gate, and then Adjutant Sun asked Xuan Huaifeng, "How are you?"

Xuan Huaifeng was silent for a while, then shook his head.

Adjutant Sun smiled and said, "Cheer up. The sky is falling, and the chief will support it. Come, I'll take you to dinner."

So he took Xuan Huaifeng with him, turned left and right in the Bai family courtyard very familiarly, sat in a small dining room, and introduced to Xuan Huaifeng, "This is where we usually eat from now on. Does the Bai family Come here, you can be more at ease."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "I see, this is where the servants eat."

Adjutant Sun laughed and said, "You're underestimating yourself. Are we servants? At least we are adjutants. We have to put on an air and don't lose the game. This place is hired by the Bai family. The gentlemen specially Yes, the accountant will also come here to eat. But the servants and servants, of course, this is not a place for them to eat. You should be more comfortable, it's only the first day, and I think your face is a little pale."

After all, I called a servant over and asked him to go to the kitchen to bring two hot dishes and two bowls of white rice.

After the servant went there for a while, he really brought the food. Even the bowls and chopsticks were set on the table. He stood with his hands down and asked Adjutant Sun, "Do you have any other orders?"

Adjutant Sun knew that he was so attentive, so it was because of him, he smiled and gave Xuan Huaifeng a sideways look, and said, "I forgot my wallet today. Do you have a dollar?"

Only then did Xuan Huaifeng wake up, and hurriedly took out his wallet from his pocket.

But in his wallet, where there is a piece of change, it is all the big bills that Bai Xuelan forced to give him. After searching for a long time, he found a five-yuan bill with the smallest denomination from the stack of big bills, and handed it to the boy. , "It's hard work for you to go all the way, just take this and go."

In Bai Xuelan's mansion in the capital, the servants were always generous with rewards, but the servants of the Bai family in Jinan, under the supervision of the prudent wife, did not receive such generous treatment.

The servant just delivered a meal and got five yuan. He was very pleasantly surprised and even bowed to Xuan Huaifeng a few times.

Adjutant Sun said to the servant, "You think he looks strange, but you don't recognize him? This one is Adjutant Xuan who works with the young master in the capital. His family business is also very large in Guangdong, but he is very ambitious. After studying in a foreign country, he wants to do some business with the young master. He has a good heart, and he will definitely ask for a lot of rewards for anyone who serves him more attentively."

Holding the banknote, the servant looked at Xuan Huaifeng's smiling face with great sincerity and earnestness, bowed his body and asked, "Adjutant Xuan, do you have any other orders?"

Xuan Huaifeng was very embarrassed by Adjutant Sun's strong praise, so he could only smile and said, "Nothing else, just go down."

After the footman left, he frowned at Adjutant Sun, "Where did I get my family business in Guangdong? You shouldn't insist on such a scene for me."

Adjutant Sun said, "For people like servants, it doesn't matter where you have your family business. As long as you have money in your wallet and are willing to spend a little money on them, you will have a good impression of you. Now that you are new here, the people in the Bai family People, you need to know. You have to get in touch with these people under the Bai family. Since you want to get in touch, of course, I would rather they have a little affection for you first. Not much to say, let's eat. "

There was no one else in the dining room except Adjutant Sun, an acquaintance. Xuan Huaifeng's tense nerves were temporarily relaxed.

Moreover, Adjutant Sun seemed to undertake the task assigned to him by Bai Xuelan, to take good care of Xuan Huaifeng, so he kept finding light topics to talk about during the meal.

Xuan Huaifeng was accompanied by such a good colleague, his brows gradually widened.

After dinner, the footman cleared the table and brought hot tea.

Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Do you still drink tea? I'm afraid we should do something."

Adjutant Sun said firmly, "Don't worry, my wife must have persuaded the chief to eat two more bites of food. The chief knows that I will take you here for dinner. If the chief wants us to do something, he will naturally send a servant to call. Let's steal our lives Half a day off."

After Xuan Huaifeng entered the high threshold of the Bai family, he felt that the colleague beside him had completely become a guiding light for him.No wonder at Dakou's place, Bai Xuelan didn't ask Adjutant Sun to see Miss Leng off, she insisted on keeping him, just to keep him as her companion.

Xuan Huaifeng expressed his conviction to Adjutant Sun, "If you say to take a break, then I will listen to you."

Picking up the teacup, he took a sip.

Adjutant Sun turned to him, squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, "You man, I didn't mean you..."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "It's strange, you only speak half of what you say? It's all right, what do you want to say about me?"

Adjutant Sun said, "I originally wanted to say a joke, but after thinking about it, this joke is not suitable. Let's forget it."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "How many times have you made fun of me, and you actually showed kindness today? No, you should tell the whole story, otherwise I will always have to think about it."

Adjutant Sun said, "I told you, you're going to report me to the chief."

Xuan Huaifeng said. "Never will."

Adjutant Sun said, "Since that's the case, I'm telling the truth."

Xuan Huaifeng urged, "Say it, tell it, you're holding me back."

Then Adjutant Sun smiled and said, "I asked you to drink tea just now, and you just picked up the bowl to drink tea. I couldn't help thinking, when you are stubborn, you are certainly very stubborn. But once you act obedient, then It has become an extremely docile kitten. This transformation is quite interesting. Perhaps the so-called desire to conquer in foreign books has something to do with the transformation of its prey."

When Xuan Huaifeng heard the word conquer, he didn't know what to think of, his face flushed, and he said embarrassingly, "I'm still your colleague, I'm a kitten, what have you become?"

In order to hide his embarrassment, he took a teacup, lowered his head, and took two sips.

Later, he found an irrelevant matter and asked Adjutant Sun, "I heard from the chief that Miss Leng's mother, that aunt, is still living in the chief's uncle's house?"

When Adjutant Sun talked about Leng Ningfang's family, there was a kind of pity in his eyes, "Yes. I guess she is willing to live with her elder brother for the rest of her life. But I think, she is such a quiet old woman, I only eat two vegetarian meals a day and recite Buddhist scriptures, and there is not much cost. For Miss Leng, I am willing to bring her to the capital and raise her well."

Xuan Huaifeng nodded and said, "It's a good idea. In this way, Miss Leng will follow you to the capital without worrying about her mother. It's always good for everyone to be together."

Xuan Huaifeng was on the road, and Bai Xuelan had also heard about Bai Xuelan's aunt's past.

The first five of Mr. Bai were all sons, and he only had a daughter when he was the sixth. Naturally, he was very cherished.This Sixth Miss Bai was delicate and beautiful when she was young. With the background of the Bai family, if she wanted to marry, all the men would compete to propose her.

But just such a proud girl of heaven, a young unmarried hero everywhere, she doesn't like a man, but a married man surnamed Leng.

Speaking of this Mr. Leng, he is not a prodigal who hooks up with women because of his handsome face, but a famous doctor with a good reputation.When the famous Qilu Medical College was just completed, Mr. Leng was hired as a professor.In those days, society still respected learned people very much, and teachers were respected.What's more, the professors in the medical school, everyone thinks that they teach life-saving skills and have greater merit, so the respect for Mr. Leng in the society is even more important.

Although Mr. Leng's income as a professor is not as amazing as that of the Bai family, as far as a scholar is concerned, it is not a small amount, and the material is very decent.

It's just that there is no one in the world who can do everything well.

The most unsatisfactory thing in Mr. Leng's life is that his first wife had an accident in the early years and fell down the stairs. Not only was her body paralyzed, but her brain was also injured. People can't recognize it clearly, like a fool who can't speak.

For a man to accompany a paralyzed and stupid wife, the pain is really inhumane.

Mr. Leng and his wife went through hardships together when they were young. If they want to abandon their first wife and marry another bride, they can't bear it no matter what.So even though he has a wife in name, he actually lives as a widower. During the day he spends his days teaching coquettishly at the university, but when he returns home, he spends long nights alone with a fool.

In Chinese culture, there is a special love for bleak stories.

There is always a foolish idea that only those who suffer are considered saints.

Therefore, the story of Mr. Leng's unfortunate family met the appetites of people in the society, and gradually became a good story that never left.

In fact, when everyone praised Mr. Leng for his love and righteousness, who would really appreciate the loneliness and helplessness that the person involved endured every day and night?

Miss Bailiu was a young girl at the time, and she had heard about Mr. Leng's misfortune, and she deeply sympathized with her.At first, it was nothing more than sympathy for a strange man, but it was a trick of fate. Once, Miss Leng fell ill, and the old lady Bai took pity on her, and specially invited Mr. Leng, who is very skilled in medicine, to come to see him.

The two get a chance to meet, and somehow they hit it off.

Come and go, from doctor to patient, to friend, to confidante and confidant, and then to king's heart and my heart.

Miss Bai Liu was pampered by her family, and she was often able to go out to play. Mr. Leng was also the master of a small single-family family. No one else knows about them.

Later, Miss Bailiu made an excuse to go to a relative's house in another province, but she went there for two or three months and never came back.The old lady Bai missed her daughter, and wrote to ask her to come back. Miss Bai Liu wrote back, saying that she had a good time at her relative's house, and she didn't want to go back for the time being.

The old lady Bai wrote several letters and got the same result. She gradually became suspicious, fearing that her daughter would have an accident in other provinces.At that time, Mr. Bai had already commanded a large army. Hearing that his daughter was not safe, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He immediately led the troops and rushed to the relative's house in a hurry.

When I arrived, I found that my daughter was safe and sound, but I couldn't hide the five or six-month-old belly.

The child in this belly is naturally the later Leng Ningfang.

Both Xuan Huaifeng and Adjutant Sun knew that this was a big scandal in the Bai family many years ago, so they only briefly mentioned the aunt who had never been married before, and stopped talking about it.

Xuan Huaifeng knew that Adjutant Sun liked to talk about Leng Ningfang, and the relationship between him and Leng Ningfang had not been officially revealed yet, so it was not easy to talk to others, so he could only talk to himself.

So Xuan Huaifeng thoughtfully put the topic on Leng Ningfang, and asked Adjutant Sun with a smile, "Now, you still just call her Miss Leng? This is a bit too unfamiliar."

Adjutant Sun smiled and said, "It depends on the occasion. I call her Miss Leng to you. Naturally, I call her another name when I am alone. For example, in front of Mrs. Bai, can you call the chief Xuelan?" "

Xuan Huaifeng thought of the stable and peaceful Mrs. Bai who was inexplicably intimidating, and the smile on his face eased.

Picking up the teapot, he refilled tea for Adjutant Sun and himself, looked out the window and said, "The rice over there should be finished anyway."

At this time, an unfamiliar servant walked into the dining room and asked them, "Are you two Adjutant Xuan and Adjutant Sun that the young master brought over from the capital?"

Adjutant Sun said, "It's us. Did the chief summon us?"

"Yes," said the footman. "My master invites you both to the lady's room."

After hearing this, Adjutant Sun left the dining room with Xuan Huaifeng, and went to Mrs. Bai's yard again.
