Jinyu Dynasty 7 Quenching Mirror

Bai Xuelan was about to leave the house, but was stopped by the footman, unable to refuse, so she had to come to see the mistress of the house.

Xuan Huaifeng followed him into a small courtyard, and the two maids waiting outside hurriedly drew up the curtain for them.As soon as he entered the room, there was a smell of makeup and powder, and when he was heated by the burning charcoal fire in the room, it was even warmer and more beautiful, and the fragrance was unbearable.

There is a middle-aged woman in the house.On a pair of watery apricot eyes, the outlines are delicately drawn with an eyeliner, making the eyes look bigger than a circle.

A big emerald-carved gold hairpin was inserted on the head, and under the big hairpin, two rows of small gold hairpins were neatly inserted, and when the head was shaken, there was a golden light rippling.

She was wearing a set of purple brocade cheongsam, with two or three layers of rhinestones adorning the hem. When one moved slightly, the rhinestones would swing on the brocade, like fish scales, very attractive to the eye.

The two old ladies stood beside the hostess, one on the left and the other on the right, with the same attentive smiles on their faces as the hostess.

Xuan Huaifeng reckoned that this beautiful woman should be the wife of Fifth Commander, but he had seen Bai Xuelan's mother, this Mrs. Bai was very different from the other Mrs. Bai.

He was afraid of being misunderstood and would make a joke, so he went into the room and kept silent for now, just glanced at Bai Xuelan, wanting to see what she was doing.

Seeing Bai Xuelan call out to the woman, "Fifth Aunt."

He just stepped forward to salute and called "Fifth Wife".

Just about to stand unobtrusively in the corner of the room, the fifth wife stood up with a smile on her face, "This must be Xue Lan's new adjutant. He really looks talented, and he looks like he's going to do big things. Don't be cautious. Please sit down."

Xuan Huaifeng didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic, he couldn't sit down, and his eyes glanced at Bai Xuelan again.

Bai Xuelan smiled, "Fifth Aunt is too partial. I came all the way back, and you haven't let me sit down yet? Why did you greet him first? An adjutant may not be able to resist such flattery."

Mrs. Fifth smiled at Bai Xuelan, "I never liked the rules that restrict people. You are an acquaintance, so when you come to my place, you will naturally sit down and eat and drink yourself. Do you have to get my approval first? Stop wrangling words with Fifth Aunt, and sit down quickly."

Bai Xuelan smiled, sat down, raised her head and said to Xuan Huaifeng, "Sit next to me."

Mrs. Fifth said, "It is said that you are very strict in controlling your subordinates. I didn't believe it at first, but now that I see it, it is indeed very strict. Why does he sit? Does he also obey the orders of his superiors?"

Bai Xuelan said, "That's just such a casual sentence. Instead of telling him to sit next to me, should I tell him to sit next to someone else? It doesn't make sense."

Mrs. Fifth said, "You have a good tongue, and you can always get the truth. Probably if you want to say that the sun in the sky is square, you can also say one, two, three, four, five."

Xuan Huaifeng was already a little embarrassed by the smell of rouge and powder, and after a few more discussions, his thin skin couldn't help but get slightly hot. It's not appropriate to say anything at this time, so it's better not to say it, so it's just Smiling politely, sat beside Bai Xuelan.

The fifth wife asked the old lady to bring a plate of wagyu and fruit for drinking.

The two old women went to the back of the house for a while, and they brought seven or eight small plates in one go, including candied fruit, biscuits, melon seeds and almonds, etc. This lady probably likes snacks on weekdays and prepared them in the house. .

The drink was delivered, not hot tea, but sherbet in a glass bottle.

This is something that Xuan Huaifeng liked to drink when he was studying abroad. After returning to China, his family changed and he was in financial difficulties for a while, so he put aside this extravagant hobby.After entering the Bai mansion, even though he was no longer short of money, Bai Xuelan took good care of his diet and never had to worry about eating and drinking by himself, so he never thought of drinking sherbet.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Huaifeng was a little surprised to see it here by accident. Seeing that everyone else was drinking it, he picked it up and drank it.

Bai Xuelan didn't like sweets very much, so she drank half a bottle and said with a smile, "Fifth Aunt, I'd better ask them to give me another cup of tea."

The fifth wife hurriedly asked the old lady to make hot tea, and said, "It's not your cousin, he must try anything new in the world. After drinking this sherbet, he said it was very good. I sent a few boxes here. At first I also said it was sweet, but after drinking it, I liked it a little. When outsiders came, I naturally treated them with tea. But you are a junior at home, and you came back from overseas, so you probably like it. These foreigners’ things. Thanks to me, I specially asked them to bring sherbet, so you don’t like it. Isn’t this called flattering and slapping on a horse’s leg?”

After she said such a long talk, the last sentence really didn't fit her status as a wife, so Bai Xuelan didn't answer her words, she just showed a very comfortable smile.

The old lady brought tea, so he took the tea, took a sip, and then asked, "Aunt Wu is looking for me, what can I do?"

Mrs. Fifth said, "Oh, you are impatient. You asked this question before you had even had a sip of tea. It seems that I have to ask you for something before I invite you to drink tea. Do you think I am like this? Philistine?"

Bai Xuelan knew that she must have something to say next, so she kept smiling and waited.

Sure enough, Mrs. Fifth made a few polite remarks, she showed her breath, smiled eagerly and asked him, "I heard people say that buying and selling national government bonds can make a lot of money nowadays? I have saved a lot of money, and I want to try it too." , It’s just that I don’t know how to do it. It just so happens that you are back, and you are also a member of the government, so you naturally know the details better than outsiders.”

Bai Xuelan said calmly, "Government departments, everyone has their own. If we talk about national bonds, they are issued by the Ministry of Finance. They have little to do with the customs that I manage. I can't get involved at all. Fifth Aunt It's not that I want to stop you from getting rich. Public bonds are very risky. Some people make a lot of money, and some people go bankrupt. If you have that money, you might as well find a good shop, invest in two-cent dry stocks, and earn some dividends every year. Take it easy, people."

The fifth wife turned her mouth, "Don't talk about getting two shares in the shop, even if I open a shop myself, how much money can I make a year? I see that the wives of other people's families spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy them. In less than a few months, you can get back [-] to [-] yuan in public debt. After all, the money you earn is different from the money you ask for from home. You can spend it as you like. What kind of happiness is that? You don’t know, It's really not easy for me to be your fifth uncle's family. A few black-eyed chickens stare at me every day, lest I spend an extra penny of the family money. How can I not think of a way by myself? Your eldest cousin is the prime minister, you are now You are also a high-ranking government official, how can you not know a little bit of the inside story? It's not that you don't know, it's just that you don't want to tell me."

It's a bit embarrassing for a female elder to say such words to a younger generation for money.

Even Xuan Huaifeng, who was sitting beside him, felt embarrassed for Bai Xuelan.

How can I give an answer to this?

But Xuan Huaifeng's problem has never been Bai Xuelan's problem.When this person is sloppy, he can completely treat the other party as if he didn't hear a word. No matter how the fifth wife begs or complains, he will put on a leisurely smiling face, take a sip of tea, and praise the tea. Eat a biscuit, and boast that the creamy taste of the biscuit is just right.

Mrs. Fifth tried a few words, but she couldn't answer anything honestly. She was unhappy, but it was not worth offending Bai Xuelan face to face, so she could only follow Bai Xuelan's words, "Your cousin made this, no Whether it's delicious or not is just a little bit of his affection for his mother."

Bai Xuelan took the opportunity to ask, "Why don't you see Tianci?"

Mrs. Fifth said, "He, the Prime Minister is not as busy as him, and he runs away every day without a trace."

Bai Xuelan asked with a smile, "What are you busy with?"

Mrs. Fifth said, "He is somewhat interested in diplomacy, probably because he wants to be a diplomat."

Bai Xuelan said, "To be a diplomat, you have to deal with foreigners a lot. No wonder he doesn't talk to each other, presumably all his time is spent socializing outside."

Talking about the only son, the fifth wife changed her expression, sighed again, and said proudly, "But those foreigners admire him very much. Sometimes they invite him to a concert, and sometimes they invite him to a banquet. No space left for him."

Bai Xuelan said humorously, "Concerts and banquets don't matter. They are very serious entertainment for foreigners. I am in the capital, and I am afraid of entertaining Japanese. They probably think that business talks can only be done by drinking. Nine out of ten times It's about getting drunk."

The fifth wife was very concerned, and echoed, "Why not? There is a Japanese named Matsuda. Whenever you ask him to meet, you will always get very drunk."

Bai Xuelan said, "I also made friends with a Japanese named Matsuda before. Is he a diplomat in the Japanese government?"

Mrs. Fifth said, "The one Tianci knew probably wasn't the same as your friend. Mr. Matsuda didn't work as an official, but he started a business."

Bai Xuelan said, "My cousin has always had a high eye for making friends. I don't think he will associate with ordinary businessmen. If he makes friends in the mall, then the other party must be doing a lot of business. Then Matsuda Sir, perhaps the chairman of some company?"

Mrs. Fifth was happier to hear people praise her son than to be praised herself. Here, she also eliminated the unhappiness of being unable to find out the inside story of the public debt, and said with a smile, "The company he runs is indeed very The big one, I heard that there are many branches in various places, even in foreign countries. This is a well-known civilized company. You can hear the style of a large foreign company just by hearing the name. Otherwise, who would dare to use such a big word as civilization as the name of their own industry?"

When Xuan Huaifeng heard the word Wenming Company, his heart beat twice.

Looking at Bai Xuelan secretly, Bai Xuelan seemed to be okay, and said with a light smile, "Yes, the name Wenming Company sounds very civilized. But then again, it's not very civilized if you always drag Tianci to drink. Tianci Young, I don’t know how to take care of my body. Aunt Wu took care of me, but was spoiled by the Japanese.”

The fifth wife said, "Of course I have to tell him from time to time. Your fifth uncle has worked hard all his life, and he has only one son. That's why I often say that a room full of concubines is just a decoration. Those who can't give birth are fine, those who can give birth , but they are not up to date, they both have daughters. If they can give your fifth uncle a son, God will have a brother, and you will not be lonely in the future..."

Just as he was talking, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, high-heeled shoes knocking on the floor tiles, the rhythm seemed to be fighting, and it was a passionate tone.

Mrs. Fifth was talking, but she couldn't help but stop when she heard the voice.

The old lady outside murmured in a dazed voice, "Aunt Sun, my wife is entertaining guests inside..."

As if trying to stop someone.

However, the old lady was unable to stop the visitor, the next moment, the door curtain was thrown open, and the cold wind from outside rushed in, making Xuan Huaifeng shiver.

A woman in her thirties entered the house following the cold wind.This woman is quite attractive, with a pair of slender eyebrows slightly raised, amidst her charm, she also carries a haughty aura.

She was also wearing a purple-red cheongsam, and the hem of the cheongsam was also inlaid with a row of rhinestones, which inadvertently collided with the fifth wife's clothes.

However, she is tall and slender, and younger than Mrs. Fifth. Although she is dressed in similar clothes, she is very good-looking than Mrs. Fifth.

When Mrs. Fifth saw her, her face sank, "Aunt Sun, what are you going to do?"

Aunt Sun was not afraid of this lady, she replied, "Don't wrong people. I'm not here to make trouble, I'm here to return something!"

As he spoke, he threw something on the table with disdain.

The thing hit the table, spun a few times on the table, made a crisp sound, and slid to the corner of the table before stopping.

It happened to stop right under Xuan Huaifeng's nose.

Xuan Huaifeng looked curiously, and it turned out to be a necklace pendant made of stained glass.This kind of multicolored glass necklace pendant is a fashionable little jewelry on the street because of its high quality and low price. Girls from well-off families often buy it and wear it.

Good-looking is good-looking, but in a grand mansion like the Bai family, the female family members pay attention to their status and dress when they go out, and they should disdain to wear glass products.

Seeing Aunt Sun throwing something in front of her face, Mrs. Fifth's expression became even more unsightly, and asked her, "What do you mean?"

Aunt Sun puffed up her chest and said, "Even if you send a beggar, it's not like this. I don't want something that the servants can't look down on!"

Mrs. Fifth said, "I have so many things that I have no place to put them. Do I forcefully give a necklace pendant to the servant? I am a concubine, so I should do my duty as a concubine. Don't always pick and choose. Others get a share. You're all honest, why are you arguing? Fortunately, you were a female student, I don't know, female students are in school, and they try their best to learn how to quarrel with the wife in charge. "

Aunt Sun said, "Fortunately, I have studied for several years, and I know how to write the word fair. I am afraid of others. I don't know a few big characters, and I don't know that a person needs a bowl of water to be fair."

Mrs. Fifth was so angry that her face turned yellow. She was sitting at the table talking to Aunt Sun in her capacity as a wife, but she stood up so angry that she faced Aunt Sun and asked her, "As an aunt, do you want to talk back to your wife in front of your face? It doesn't matter if the commander pampers you, this family still has rules. If you dare to climb on top of me, I will invite a monk to come, I will teach you a lesson!"

Aunt Sun was threatened by the family law, not only did not extinguish her fighting spirit, but it became more vigorous. She raised her neck and sneered back, "So you know that you are a wife. But a wife, without you This is unfair. Since you are a wife, you should have the measure of your wife. Look at the other wives in the room, which one oppresses and spoils your concubine like you do?"

Pointing at her nose, Mrs. Fifth asked angrily, "When am I being unfair? Tell me! I can't tell the truth, so I won't divorce you!"

Aunt Sun said, "Sanfang sent a few boxes of things, you just pick out a few pieces and share them with everyone, and keep the rest privately, that's all. But you ask the servants to give the jewelry that Aunt Qin and the others sent. Anyway, it was also sent by Sanfang today. Why did you give it to me alone, and you took one of the worthless gadgets you used to prevaricate? I can't accept this tone!"

Xuan Huaifeng was also born in the commander's mansion, but his biological mother died young, his father did not remarry, and his concubine only married one, so the family situation is not complicated. It seems that he has never witnessed such a war between wives and concubines.

When Aunt Sun and Mrs. Fifth quarreled, he was surprised at first, then hesitated, should he persuade them to fight?

While hesitating, he saw Bai Xuelan, who was sitting leisurely drinking tea with a smile on his lips.

Xuan Huaifeng thought, this is his housework, he is not in a hurry, why should he be in a hurry.

He didn't want to imitate Bai Xuelan's appearance, pretending to be enjoying watching the play, so he just sat with his eyes and nose watching.

It's just that I couldn't help being curious, and I always occasionally raised my eyelids to glance at the two noisy women, and those round and lovely white ears were actually erect all the time.

The two superiors and adjutants were watching the scene of wives and concubines fighting, and felt that it was extremely exciting, but suddenly they heard the thing from Sanfang, and they suddenly came to their senses.

The two boxes of things delivered this afternoon disappeared after entering the gate. It turned out that the fifth wife had sent people to hijack them here.

And another accident happened.

I can't help being both emotional and funny.

The fifth wife was still fighting with Aunt Sun, and she said heavily, "You bastard! Usually it's something picked out of the box, why is it something I used? Do you also wear the necklace and pendant I wore? I won’t give it to you. Wow! I let you everywhere, but you want to plant my spoils?”

Aunt Sun said, "You insulted me, and you still beat me up. It's a good trick. But you are not Wu Zetian, so you can't just say black is white. Now the gift giver is here, so we can tell the difference."

As he spoke, he pointed to the glass pendant on the table and looked at Bai Xuelan.

According to the rules of the Bai family, the status of an aunt is not high. Although she has a seniority, she dare not really put on airs of an elder in front of the younger generation of the Bai family.So she didn't call Bai Xuelan by name, but only called his rank and said, "Young Thirteen, please be fair. Is this necklace pendant among the gifts you gave to the fifth commander? I am in Cai When glass was first in fashion, I saw her and wore the same one around her neck. She said it wasn’t something she left behind, it was sent by you, is it true?”

Xuan Huaifeng looked at the glass pendant and thought, although he hadn't opened every box of the gifts prepared by Bai Xuelan when he returned to his hometown, but as far as he had seen some of the gifts, he had chosen high-quality goods.

Bai Xuelan is a person who spends a lot of money, she travels thousands of miles to go home, why buy such a cheap glass pendant?

This must not be Bai Xuelan's handwriting.

Thinking about the philistine attitude of Mrs. Fifth, I feel that Aunt Sun's guess is probably right.

However, in the battle between wives and concubines in the uncle's family, how could Bai Xuelan, as a junior, intervene in it and be a judge with clear black and white?

Saying that he didn't send it by himself would offend Mrs. Fifth.

Said it was given by himself, and helped the fifth wife, and wronged Aunt Sun.

This matter is really difficult.

Xuan Huaifeng was making things difficult for Bai Xuelan, but Bai Xuelan was still perfunctory and smiled casually, "The things I brought back are a whole train compartment, can I remember everything clearly? But today's things are all I should be responsible for the gift I gave you. Aunt Sun, you don’t like this glass pendant, I’ll give you an emerald necklace pendant, do you accept it?”

Aunt Sun thought to herself, he is the first son of the third family, and if he is willing to maneuver like this to her aunt, it cannot be said that it is not a good intention.

Therefore, facing Bai Xuelan, her attitude eased a little, and she sighed, "Thirteenth Young Master, I am not here for a necklace pendant. You don't know, I was bullied too hard in this family. If I One person will be clean after death. But I still have a daughter. It’s okay to bully me, she also bullies my daughter..."

Before the words were finished, Mrs. Fifth couldn't keep silent, and asked loudly, "Why did I bully your daughter? Did I also give her a glass pendant?"

Aunt Sun spoke an octave lower to Bai Xuelan, and when she turned to Mrs. Fifth, her voice immediately returned to an octave higher, "If you give her a glass pendant, I will accept it. But you assign the family Things, Yuxiang and Yuli, born by Aunt Qin, you gave each of them a gemstone bracelet. Why did you completely exclude her when it was my Yumei's turn? Isn't she the commander's blood?"

The Fifth Wife stomped her feet repeatedly, and slapped her thigh with her hand, "You woman, you are making trouble out of your intentions! Yuxiang Yuli is a teenager, and girls who want to go out to meet people have to give them a piece of jewelry. Your little girl Shishi, you are only five years old this year, and you still want to wear gold and silver, is it plausible? So you gave birth to a daughter to share an extra piece of jewelry! I am afraid of you because you are so greedy."

The more she talked, the more excited she became.

Finally, he pointed at the back of the house with his hand, "All the things from Sanfang are here. If you have the ability, you can take them all! I'm afraid you won't dare!"

Aunt Sun said, "Why don't I dare? Since you became a family, which of our aunts' food and clothing expenses have you not been able to skimp on? Mountains of gold and silver have filled your house. I have long wanted to go in and have a look. Already!"

Without hesitation, he rushed to the back of the house.

Mrs. Fifth originally made a persuasive sentence, but she never expected that she would actually hit a snake with a stick.Naturally, there are a lot of furniture hidden in her room, how could this opponent go in and look through it, his expression changed, he hurried forward, blocked Aunt Sun's way, and shouted, "Rebel! You are going to rebel!"

Fearing that Aunt Sun would force her way in, she not only yelled loudly, but also stretched out her hand to push Aunt Sun.

I don't know where it was pushed on Auntie Sun, Auntie Sun staggered, leaned her body, and hit the corner of the square table with her waist and eyes.

The table was pushed and bumped by a person's body, and it tilted suddenly. The fruit plates, teapots, and teacups placed on it all slipped across the table and fell to the ground. plate.

Xuan Huaifeng didn't react in a daze, but it was Bai Xuelan who grabbed him and stood up, and took two steps back to prevent the broken glass from splashing on him.

Aunt Sun was subjected to force, which is unbearable. She rubbed her sore waist, gritted her teeth and smiled at Mrs. Fifth, "Okay, okay! I really rolled up my sleeves! I heard that the girl who came out of the building wanted to fight Guests know how to fight, and you should have practiced a lot of kung fu. I'm going all out today, and I have to meet you for a while!"

Before the fifth wife got married, she made a living out of flesh and blood. After becoming a concubine, what she hated the most was when people mentioned that she came out of the building.

Ever since she was righted up and became the Fifth Wife, the word Louzi was simply the biggest taboo in the Fifth Commander's house.

Now that Aunt Sun picked out her scars face to face, the fifth wife was so angry that her face turned red and blue, blue and purple, she jumped and shouted, "I will fight with you!"

Like a tornado, it rushed up, and the two- to three-inch-long pointed nails on both hands turned into ten sharp weapons, crazily scratching at Aunt Sun's beautiful face.

Aunt Sun grasped Mrs. Fifth's wrists with both hands, trying not to let her scratch her face no matter what.

The fifth wife couldn't use her hands, so she stretched out her foot to kick, but missed Aunt Sun, but kicked a chair over, making a loud bang.

The two old women wanted to come up to stop them, but they couldn't stop the two vicious tigresses, so they stood aside anxiously, "Madam calm down! Auntie, stop!" and kept yelling.

Even Xuan Huaifeng couldn't stand it anymore, and looked back at Bai Xuelan.

Seeing that he still looked indifferent, for some reason, he was a little itchy with anger, and secretly poked Bai Xuelan's trousers with his toe.

Bai Xuelan turned her head and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Xuan Huaifeng said, "Just take care of it."

Bai Xuelan asked, "You don't want to go to the theater anymore? I wanted to take care of it, but I just thought you were very interesting and excited, and didn't want to spoil your interest, so I couldn't move."

Xuan Huaifeng couldn't help but kicked his trousers again with his toe, "You are too narrow. When will I be so excited? Just plant me. Don't be naughty, go to work. It's really good or bad, you can't treat the fifth commander Confession."

Like Feng Lun's voice, Bai Xuelan walked to the front, grabbed one with each hand, and easily separated the two women who were quarreling, and turned to the old woman who was standing there dumbfounded, "Go and ask the commander."

The old lady came back to her senses and ran away quickly.

The Fifth Wife was furious, one hand was held, and the five nails on the other hand were still scratching at the flesh. Suddenly, someone whispered in her ear, "Fifth Aunt, wake up."

Although the voice was not sharp, it was full of masculinity, like a lion's roar.

Immediately, she was shocked to the top of her head.

Looking again, it turned out that his nails almost caught Bai Xuelan's face.

Bai Xuelan separated them, one with each hand, pressed on the two chairs that had not been kicked over, and the two women couldn't help but sat down.

Bai Xuelan said, "Pour tea."

An old woman ran to ask for the commander, and the remaining Liushen Wuzhu, who heard Bai Xuelan's order, poured two cups of tea as if he had found the backbone.It's just that I was in a hurry and didn't have time to boil water, so the tea that came was half-warm.

Bai Xuelan ignored it and brought a cup to Mrs. Fifth.

Mrs. Fifth sat down and just gathered herself together. Thinking of the loss she had suffered from her aunt, the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. She was about to say something, but Bai Xuelan resolutely stuffed a cup of tea into her hand.

Bai Xuelan said, "If you have something to say, you can talk about it later. Take a sip to moisten your throat first."

As a result, Fifth Wife had no choice but to drink tea with her head down.

On Aunt Sun's side, she was calmer than Mrs. Fifth. Seeing Bai Xuelan show up, she had to give her face, so after sitting down, she didn't cry or make trouble.During the fight just now, three or four of the hairpins on her head fell to the ground, and half of her hair was scattered. She didn't pick up the hairpins on the ground, but used her five fingers to slowly gather the hanging long hair.

Bai Xuelan handed a cup of tea to Mrs. Fifth, walked over, and handed her another cup of tea.

When Aunt Sun took the tea, she lost all her vigour, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Xuan Huaifeng watched Bai Xuelan pull, press, and pass the tea without any extra effort. He could be regarded as a model of female diplomacy, and he was secretly amazed.

He also thought that there are many wives and concubines in each house of the Bai family, so he must have seen many of them since he was a child, so he trained such pure means.

Can't help thinking a little further, recalling that Bai Xuelan had promised herself that he would never take a concubine.

At the beginning, Xuan Huaifeng didn't pay much attention to these words, but now that he has the evidence, he knows that Bai Xuelan has expressed his feelings.

Xuan Huaifeng was thinking about his own thoughts, and the other people in the room were also thinking about their own thoughts.

1 minute ago there was an uproar, but now it's quiet, it's almost audible.

In this silence, I heard a voice like a bull's roar, "Damn it! Are you going to stop it?"

The sound seemed to come from several courtyards, and when it sounded again, it was a little closer, as if it was outside the courtyard, and it was probably coming towards this side very quickly.

Xuan Huaifeng recognized the voice of the Fifth Commander, and was thinking that his wife and aunt were in a terrible fight. When the Fifth Commander came over, he would lose his temper, and he didn't know what would happen next.

Bai Xuelan walked up to him, pulled his sleeves, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Xuan Huaifeng asked in surprise, "Don't you wait for the fifth commander?"

Bai Xuelan smiled and said, "Are you waiting to be the fish in the pond? Go away."

He took Xuan Huaifeng's hand, cleverly avoided the front door, and went out quickly and silently through the back door.

After leaving the Fifth Wife’s yard, and within a few steps, the Fifth Commander must have rushed into the room over there, and the voice of cursing came from far away, “I don’t want you to eat, and I don’t want you to wear it? For a few broken rings and earrings, You are noisy all day long, don’t make me angry! I’m so impatient, I throw them outside on the street and go begging with beggars! Seeing that you are still full? Pooh!”

Amidst his cursing, there were the sobbing and sobbing of the women.

Fifth Commander's voice became louder, "Still crying? Still crying? Cry again, and the whip will beat you to death!"

The woman should be afraid of him, and when he yelled at her, her crying suddenly subsided.

Xuan Huaifeng stopped outside the wall, listened quietly for two or three minutes, and sighed, "Oh, your Bai family only treats women as playthings. This is a bit sinful."

Bai Xuelan glanced around, no one was idle, put her arms around Xuan Huaifeng's waist, and took a step closer to her, "Your Bai family? You have only been here for a day, and we are going to wipe out our surnames with a bamboo pole. Exhaustion? Uncle Wu is Uncle Wu, and I am me. Besides, I swore that I would never marry a concubine. What are you worried about?"

Xuan Huaifeng sighed for a while, and didn't doubt Bai Xuelan's meaning. He accidentally swept Bai Xuelan away, a little embarrassed, "It's my fault, and I offended people with a word. Actually, I didn't mean anything else. I saw you like this at first glance. A big family, it's too complicated, it's a little daunting."

Bai Xuelan smiled and said, "Monks have to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships to learn the scriptures. We want to pick the fruits of heaven, so we should encounter some disasters, so that later generations can make up a wonderful story for us. Well, if we take Take the scriptures as a metaphor, you must be the handsome Tang Sanzang who made the king of the daughter country want to snatch him as his husband, but which one should I do? Zhu Bajie will never do it, Monk Sha is too stupid, and Sun Monkey? The mana is great. , but the whole body is fluffy, how can you hug Master to sleep at night?"

Xuan Huaifeng began to hear what he said was interesting, so he couldn't help smiling, but when he heard the last sentence, he realized that he was going around in a circle to take advantage of his mouth, standing on someone else's territory, and it was not easy to fight with Bai Xuelan, so he could only He stretched out his hand and lightly pushed him on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go, wait for the fifth commander to come out and bump into us. You will be the fish in the pond that got hurt."

The two left the fifth commander's mansion together, walked along the high walls, and returned to the third-bedroom mansion of the Bai family.

When they arrived at the gate of Bai Xuelan's own house, a figure ran out from the gate to meet the two of them, but it was not the concierge, but Ye'er.

Bai Xuelan asked Ye'er, "You wait for us, just wait inside the house, why come to the gate and wait? Don't you think it's cold?"

Ye'er said, "It's not cold. I hid in the concierge's house to warm up the fire. I only ran out when I saw you approaching from a distance."

Bai Xuelan asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye'er looked around, and said in a low voice, "Your father is back. I heard him scolding the servants. He probably went out today and encountered something unsatisfactory. When you see him later, you must obey..."

Before he finished speaking, a man in military uniform came out of the gate, as if he was about to go out.

As soon as he saw Bai Xuelan, he walked over and said to Bai Xuelan, "The Commander sent me to the Fifth Commander's house, and see why the young master has been away for so long? It turns out that the young master has already returned, so it saves me a trip."

Bai Xuelan smiled and said, "Adjutant He, I haven't seen you for a while, you have become more capable."

Turning his head, he introduced to Xuan Huaifeng, "This is my father's adjutant, surnamed He."

He also introduced Xuan Huaifeng to Adjutant He.

Adjutant He seemed to be a person who took official duties very seriously, he only nodded to Xuan Huaifeng as a greeting, and urged Bai Xuelan, "The commander is waiting, please follow me."

Seeing his serious expression, Bai Xuelan knew that there might not be good fruit waiting for her on her father's side.However, shrinking the head is a knife, and extending the head is also a knife. Since you can't avoid it, you don't have to dodge it.

He readily followed Adjutant He into the door.

Seeing that she had entered the double gate and the main hall was in the distance, Bai Xuelan suddenly stopped, and whispered to Xuan Huaifeng who was behind her, "Find a servant and ask him to lead you to Adjutant Sun."

Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Looking for Adjutant Sun, do you want me to tell him something, or is there something else you want me to do?"

Bai Xuelan said, "Nothing happened, I just want you to relax. You can rest or eat something, whatever you want."

Xuan Huaifeng felt faintly uneasy, "Why did you push me away?"

Adjutant He, who was leading the way, realized that Bai Xuelan had not moved forward, and had stopped, turning around to look at Bai Xuelan.

Seeing Xuan Huaifeng's simplicity, Bai Xuelan looked at her eyes full of worry. She was both funny and touched. If Adjutant He wasn't in the way, she really wanted to squeeze his fair and tender face. , smiled and said, "Fool, of course I will dismiss you. If you don't dismiss you, why don't you still go with me to meet my father? We are not performing a fashionable drama against the old feudalism, we have to take it step by step. Be good, listen to me."

Xuan Huaifeng thought to himself, it was indeed inappropriate to go to see his father with Bai Xuelan the first day he came back.

Still listening to Bai Xuelan, she nodded.

Bai Xuelan smiled confidently at him, and followed Adjutant He away.

Xuan Huaifeng stood in the same place, watching his back, looming among the dry winter branches in the courtyard, the majestic and majestic eaves corner of the main hall seemed to be in front of his eyes, but also seemed to be far away in the sky.They knew in their hearts that they were still in the same house, but there was a feeling of being apart for no reason.

However, no matter how he feels in his heart, Bai Xuelan's people are getting farther and farther away from him after all, and finally, after turning into a hall door, they are no longer seen.

ooh...

It also said that the seventh part is a trip to Shandong. It turned out to be just a cutscene from the capital to Shandong.How can you do this? ! ! ! !

Even Meow wanted to scratch herself.

At the beginning, I also knew that the rhythm of this article was destined to be slow, so I could only write slowly according to the rhythm.

In the Republic of China, apart from the glamorous and colorful big cities, there was also the backwardness and disorder in other places. I couldn't help but use a lot of pen and ink to write about Jiangjiabao.However, Xiaobai and Huaifeng are both handsome, aren't they?

If this continues, the eighth part will undoubtedly be the Shandong chapter.God knows how much I want them to hurry back to the capital, but...but!The story that should be explained must still be explained.What's more, there are a lot of new characters here, Liao Hanfei, Tianci, commanders, wives, concubines, it's really lively.

In this way, everyone can know what kind of environment Xiaobai grew up like Xiaoqiang.

still want to carefully put
