Ministers made me a male queen

Master Tao ushered Wanniang into the Tao Mansion all the way with gongs and drums. Master Tao also bought a house with three entrances and three exits. The maids and women are all available. Those who came to join in the fun did not expect that Master Tao's family was so rich. I usually live in the county government and haven't noticed it yet, so I envy the Jiao family's wife who is blessed.

Jiao Yun treated guests at the Jiao Mansion. After seeing off the guests, the whole person seemed to be empty, sitting on the stone chair, looking at the empty yard. In the past, Wanniang could hear him calling him to eat The sound of supper.

The mansion is empty tonight.

Nie Baichang saw this scene when he came over with the meal. The loneliness in Jiao Yun's eyes made his heart feel as if he had been pricked by a needle, the slightest numbness, the pain went all the way to the heart, and spread, burning pain to all the limbs.

The three of them have been living together all these years, more like relatives than real relatives.

But no matter before or after Bai Xuan found him, he kept many things from him.

At first it was his feelings, but later it was the grievances and hatreds of the previous generation, but these must be completed by their only remaining blood of the Bai family.

Otherwise, with so many lives in the Bai family, there would be no peace under Jiuquan.

Looking at Jiao Yun like this, if he said the news that he was going to Beijing alone at this time, he might only anger Jiao Yun.

He was reluctant, but he had to speak up when he went to Beijing alone.

But tonight, seeing Jiao Yun who was rarely looking lonely, Nie Baichang thought to himself: Wait a little longer, wait a little longer...

When Jiao Yun saw the empty yard at first, his heart was really empty, but when he saw Nie Baichang, light flashed in his eyes, he leaned lazily on the stone chair behind him, and waved to Nie Baichang: "Where are you standing, you little chicken?" Well, if you don’t bring it over, the food will be cold.”

Nie Baichang packed up his emotions and walked over, "Seeing that you are meditating alone, wouldn't it be good for you to think about it for a while?"

Jiao Yun was very surprised, "Okay, Nie Xiaobai, this is all a joke, it's ok, you don't have to do anything else in the future, just make fun of me every day."

Nie Baichang reluctantly handed over the wooden chopsticks, "Eat."

Jiao Yun was not too polite, and after eating, he dragged Nie Baichang to express his feelings, and then went to bed quickly.

They have to go to Tao Mansion early in the morning. Originally, Lao Tao meant that they should also live in Tao Mansion.

After all, the Tao family only had one male master, and after Wanniang got married, there was only one female master. There were two in total. The house he bought was big, so he could live in two more.

Jiao Yun planned to go to Beijing, and it might take several years to come back. He was too lazy to move, so he directly refused.

But today he was going to meet someone, so he changed his mind by the way, after all, as a stepson, he still had to serve tea the next day according to the rules.

Nie Baichang went with Jiao Yun. Although Wanniang was not his biological mother, she was also an adoptive mother in his heart, but she was called Aunt Wan in name.

They have known Mr. Tao for many years, and they have not seen each other. When they arrived at the place, Wanniang got up early, but she just got married, and she was married happily. Her eyebrows and eyes are full of gentle and gentle warmth, and she looks at Mr. Tao from time to time. With one glance, Jiao Yun's tongue twitched at the intense affection in the young couple's eyes.

When Wanniang and Master Tao were seated at the top, Jiao Yun offered tea and called his parents. Nie Baichang also offered tea and called Aunt Wan and Uncle.

As soon as the uncle said, Jiao Yun always felt weird, especially when the two of them were standing side by side, still holding tea. Why, it was the second day of their wedding, and for the sake of celebration, they both wanted to celebrate Wanniang's wedding. Dressed in red, looking at it like this...

Why did he think it was more like the two of them were newlyweds who came to offer tea to their parents the next day?

This thought was quickly thrown away by Jiao Yun. He must have thought too much about Nie Baichang recently, and this illusion occurred.

Because it was already the end of the first lunar month, and they were going to Beijing in a few days, Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang didn't stay long and left the mansion soon.

In the next two days, Jiao Yun began to hand over. Mr. Tao knew about it a long time ago, but the officials in the county government were reluctant to part with Jiao Yun.

Especially the newcomers, almost all of them were brought out by Jiao Yun.

Crying that he must practice it.

Jiao Yun was also not polite, and asked someone to bring a message back and say that he would go back later at night.

Several young government servants clamored to go to the brothel. Jiao Yun didn't go to that kind of place before, and he didn't plan to go this time. When he planned to leave a few days ago, he had already arranged his business, so he went directly to The restaurant reserved a private room, a few people of about the same age had enough to drink.

Jiao Yun is not good at drinking, and this time he practiced it specially for him, so it is inevitable that he will be given a few more drinks.

He was still conscious, but his body didn't obey his control. He lay there and waved his hands: "I can't drink anymore... You bastards, you all just feed me..."

The rest of them were not much better, lying there with only their arms raised up and waving, and some were already drunk, waving their hands and yelling to continue, continue to drink!

Nie Baichang saw this scene when he came to find him. Two of them were already lying on the ground, and the two brothers wanted to continue pouring, but they didn't have anything in their hands.

The two drunks drank so much that they couldn't talk about it, but they actually drank a lot of air.

Nie Baichang directly helped Jiao Yun up, letting his arm rest on his shoulder, "You drink too much, come back with me."

Jiao Yun raised his head reluctantly, and after searching for a long time with a blank gaze, he finally settled on Nie Baichang's face, and smiled, "No, I'm not drunk."

Nie Baichang put one arm around his waist, and pulled him up with strength, Jiao Yun hung firmly on his body and was led out by him.

The shopkeeper outside has long been there.

Nie Baichang paid the money and gave an extra ingot, "Everyone will be delivered to the house individually and safely."

The shopkeeper immediately responded with a smile and personally sent the two of them out of the restaurant.

The night was very cold, and Nie Baichang came on horseback. He hugged Jiao Yun directly, took the rein with one hand, turned over and led Jiao Yun onto the horse. good!

Nie Baichang took Jiao Yun, whose hands and feet were weak, and rode back on the horse. There were no pedestrians on the road, and they walked fast. When they arrived at the mansion, he directly asked the servants in the mansion to lead the horse away.

He took Jiao Yun to the backyard.

When there were only two people left in the dormitory, he directly hugged Jiao Yun by the waist.

Jiao Yun was blown by the wind all the way, and his mind became clearer, but he was still too drunk to control his hands and feet, and he didn't bother to move, knowing that it was Nie Baichang who brought him back.

Nie Baichang directly carried him into the room, put him on the bed, took off his coat and boots, and pulled the brocade quilt to wrap him up, only his head was exposed.

Jiao Yun half-opened his eyes, didn't move, but ordered him: "Thirsty."

Seeing that he seemed uncomfortable, Nie Baichang couldn't help muttering worriedly: "See if you drink so much next time."

Jiao Yun smiled, rubbed his face against the pillow, and stared at Nie Baichang to pour water.

After drinking, it must be indispensable to do business in the capital.

So it's also good to practice drinking, it's better than just a few drinks now.

Nie Baichang went to the small kitchen and boiled water. Because it was cold, he smelled it after pouring it out. He helped Jiao Yun to sit up and fed him the water.

After feeding several cups, Jiao Yun felt more comfortable.

When he closed his eyes, he felt drowsy immediately. Before falling into a deep sleep, he still remembered waving Nie Baichang to sleep.

Jiao Yun was woken up in the middle of the night by suffocation. He drank too much water before going to bed, and when he woke up, he put on his outer robe casually and ran to drain the water.

The water came out and I felt uncomfortable all over, so I simply went to boil water and take a bath.

He didn't intend to go to the front yard to call for someone at such an early night, so he boiled water by himself and took a quick shower.

After washing and changing into clean clothes, I feel refreshed and not sleepy at all.

They plan to leave the day after tomorrow, and they will go to Tao Mansion tomorrow after dawn. Wanniang is newly married and has no business these days, but she will come over tomorrow to help them pack their bags.

There is still more than an hour before dawn, which is tomorrow.

Jiao Yun didn't sleep at all, just remembered something, glanced at the next door, something was wrong, with Nie Baichang's vigilance, he was so fussy, this guy didn't wake up?

He was drunk last night, but the other party didn't.

Unless...the other party is not in the room?

But where did he go this late at night?

Jiao Yun went directly to the next door and knocked on the door. Sure enough, no one answered after knocking several times. He pushed the door open, and it opened as soon as he pushed it. There was no atmosphere in the room. He walked around the screen, and the quilt and pillows on the bed were neatly stacked. neat.

There was a packed suitcase on the table, only a few clothes and a few books.

Jiao Yun frowned, always feeling weird.

He couldn't sleep either way, so he went directly to the study in the front yard. Sure enough, before he got close, he heard the sound of punching, and the tiger was fierce. This scene reminded him of the scene in Qingzhou Mansion a few months ago , the other party stayed up all night practicing boxing like this, and then smashed directly on a tree in a circle.

But this time Nie Baichang didn't lose his vigilance, he noticed Jiao Yun as soon as he came over, closed the circle, took a deep breath, and walked over, "Why did you wake up so early?"

Jiao Yun said: "I'm not sleepy after waking up. I found that you're not next door. I should ask you. What's wrong with you if you don't sleep and practice boxing here at night?"

Nie Baichang didn't sleep all night, he had been putting it off day by day in the past few days, until he finally ran out of time.

The sky is about to dawn, if you don't say it today, it will be too late.

But no matter how he opened his mouth, he felt like a stone was pressed against his chest. He opened his mouth countless times, but he still couldn't say that sentence: I want to go to Beijing alone.

But what about the reason?

With Jiao Yun's intelligence, he might immediately think of something wrong, so after thinking about it for the past two days, he came up with an excuse.

But when it comes time to speak...

Nie Baichang lowered his eyes, "I think we will leave for Beijing after dawn."

Jiao Yun was surprised, "Okay, but one day earlier, no problem."

Nie Baichang took a deep breath, raised his head to meet Jiao Yun's clear eyes, "What I mean is, I want... to go to Beijing alone first."

Jiao Yun's movements froze, his brows frowned, and the smile on his mouth faded. He frowned and looked at him: "Going to Beijing alone? Nie Xiaobai, what do you mean?"

Nie Baichang saw that he was faintly about to get angry, and continued to speak: "I'm going to Beijing alone first, I have something to ask you here."

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Jiao Yun's expression became better when he heard this. If this guy wants to leave him and go to Beijing alone, he will crush him to death.

Nie Baichang didn't dare to look at Jiao Yun, and lowered his eyes, "I asked Master Hou to help me find something, which is a bit important to me, but I have to rush to Linzhou Mansion in half a month, my mother really has one." Brother Yi, the descendant of that brother Yi met me in Qingzhou Mansion before. He said that uncle Yi left me a relic, but he was in a hurry, so he made an appointment to hand over the things to me in half a month. Walk.

Originally, I planned to go to Qingzhou Mansion to get it by myself, but in this case, I can only rush to Linzhou Mansion first. Brother Yun, you go to Qingzhou Mansion and take the things I gave to Lord Hou. I will be in Linzhou I'll wait for you there after I get my stuff. "

Jiao Yun frowned, "Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

Nie Bochang lowered his eyes, "Because some things are not easy to talk about, they are from the previous life, and my mother has a little privacy, so it's not easy to mention these things, so I didn't say anything."

Jiao Yun recalled that Nie Baichang's state at Qingzhou Mansion was indeed not right, could it be because of this?

But is there anything wrong between Chou Gu and this foster brother?

But since Nie Baichang doesn't want to mention it, he's fine: "It's not a problem, you can just say it directly, and suddenly you want to go to Beijing alone, I'm shocked."

Nie Baichang swallowed the bitterness in his heart, he raised his head, his eyes fell on Jiao Yun's face, and he looked at Jiao Yun's face almost greedily, wanting to take in all his voice and appearance, and say goodbye after dawn, maybe... just a few years or so is farewell.
