[Baiyutang] Wind-dried clothes

Zhan Zhao was provoked by Pang Can suddenly, he couldn't resist, and got injured all over his body, but fortunately he is a practicing family boy, so he recovered very quickly, within two days, he was able to walk around on the ground.At this time, I was sitting in the hall, chatting with Bai Yutang about some indifferent words, such as "Songjiang Mansion is the hometown of water, and the five sages came to Bianjing, where the weather is dry and hot, but they are still used to it?" "The five sages Brother, do you want to become a martial artist? Zhan can help the five virtuous brothers." Yun Yun.

The former Bai Yutang also praised Bianliang's richness and resources, while the latter Bai Yutang simply stated that he was already a military student, but he just didn't like the outfit.

The two of them were silent for a moment, Zhan Zhao said again: "Zhan often heard Zhuo Jing mention the five virtuous brothers. I don't know if the five virtuous brothers are originally from Songjiang Mansion, or just live in Xingkong Island temporarily?"

Bai Yutang was very agitated by his question, so he pretended to be surprised, and choked him: "Since sister Ding often mentions younger brother, why didn't she tell Brother Zhan about this?"

Zhan Zhao suddenly smiled and said, "Zhan often forgets things—look at this memory, he even forgot this." At the end, he started talking again, "Are the five virtuous brothers still in good health?"

Bai Yutang sighed inwardly, but still replied: "When I went out, my younger brother, I saw that my elder brothers were very energetic."

Zhan Zhao was waiting to ask again, but Bai Yutang quickly turned his face away, saw Bi Tao carrying a stack of bowls, holding a handful of bamboo chopsticks, walked under the hall, was looking at the table, and hurriedly called out: " Bi Tao, aren't you afraid of falling when you hold such a tall stack of bowls?"

Bi Tao glanced at the porcelain bowls in her hand, counted them carefully, and Fang replied: "There are only five bowls - I have held ones that are much taller than this."

"What can you do blindly?" Bai Yutang hurriedly got up, took three of them, put them on the edge of the table, and helped her divide the bamboo chopsticks, "How can someone with thin arms and legs have the strength to hold five bowls?"

Bi Tao pinched the wrist of her left hand with her right hand, and found that her thumb had grown out, she couldn't help but sighed, "Fifth Master is right."

Zhan Zhao didn't know Bai Yutang's intentions, so he just laughed in the hall and said, "Why is it reasonable? If he is reasonable, how did you manage to hold so many bowls in the past?"

Bi Tao frowned and looked at Bai Yutang carefully, then turned to look around Zhan Zhao, nodded thoughtfully and said, "Master Zhan is also right."

Bai Yutang didn't dare to turn his head back, he just stared at Bi Tao and asked, "Did your elder sister buy bergamot?"

Bi Tao thought for a while, and said, "It seems that I forgot in a hurry."

Bai Yutang gritted his teeth on the surface, but he couldn't help laughing under his skin: "How dare she even forget this? Forgot the respect of being a righteous sister? I'm going to ask her to understand!" He stomped his foot, looked straight at the kitchen and flashed past.

Zhan Zhao's question was still hovering behind him: "So Brother Wuxian likes to eat bergamot?"

Bai Yutang didn't really want to look for Lu Caishu, he had already hid outside the hall, so he put his hands behind his back and walked leisurely.Hearing the chirping of two or three insects in the ears, and watching a round of ice mirrors in the sky, it is also very comfortable.But after walking a few steps, someone behind him laughed and said: "Fifth Master is really a slow person, even looking for trouble, he walks so slowly."

Turning around, it was indeed that girl Bi Tao.Bai Yutang let her catch up with him in small steps, and followed at a distance of two feet behind him.Bai Yutang asked her, "Are you still used to living here?"

Bi Tao said: "I have Sister Chun to protect me, so naturally I live well."

Bai Yutang said: "Everyone in this family is not recovering from the wounded, even women and children. She has really worked hard for her."

Bi Tao pondered for a moment and said: "If Mrs. Zhan is willing to sympathize with Sister Chun, Sister Chun is working hard, and I'm afraid she is also happy."

Bai Yutang was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Bi Tao sighed: "Fifth Master doesn't come to Zhan Ye's house often, so naturally he can't see Madam's face."

Bai Yutang's heart turned cold.He knew that although Bitao was pure and straightforward, she was different from her fifth brother Xu Qing, and she actually had some delicate thoughts. There must be a reason for saying such things at this time.He reprimanded: "Don't gossip!"

Bi Tao quickly covered her mouth, shrunk her neck like a turtle, shrugged her shoulders, and said nothing more.When they approached the cooking house, they saw Lu Caishu chopping firewood in the garden with an axe.

Standing the log firmly on the pier, she supported the log with one hand, and aligned the ax with the other hand on the axis of the wooden center, then swung it up, drew an arc in the air, and chopped down cleanly, " With a sound of "click", the ax got stuck half way up to the waist—seeing that the soles of her feet seemed to be oiled, but she hadn't practiced any internal martial arts, and the injury had never healed, and she didn't have much strength.If Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are like him, the ax can directly chop the pier into two pieces.

Lu Caichun saw that he couldn't chop anymore, so he held the handle of the ax with both hands, lifted up the wood holding the ax body together when he raised it up, and then chopped down, barely hitting the bottom.Wiping the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, she threw the ax down the wooden block and looked at the pier, and picked up another log to split again.

But Bai Yutang called her: "After a few days, the injury healed so fast, can it chop firewood?"

Lu Caichun said: "This is not enough firewood. Sister Ding has a body, and Ya Huan is a little girl. If I don't chop this firewood, who will chop it? You and Brother Zhan are sitting in the hall. They are talking happily. Can I count on you to do it?"

Bai Yutang said: "I'm not coming?" He said, rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward and snatched the ax from her hand, and drove her away, "You go to a cool place to rest."

Lu Caichun looked into the kitchen: "The rice is cooked, and I have steamed red bean cake, come and try it?"

"The gentleman stays away from the kitchen." Bai Yutang raised his ax and dropped two pieces of firewood.

Lu Caichun put his hips on his back, looked at him and said with a smile, "Fifth brother is a real gentleman." Then, he pulled Bitao over and said softly, "The red bean cake is hot, you are allowed to taste a piece first." After saying that, The two went together to the brightly lit cooking room.

After a while, Bi Tao was walking towards the outside with a dish in her hand, and when she passed by Bai Yutang, she came out with one free hand and took out a pastry wrapped in oil paper from her sleeve, and handed it to Bai Yutang, saying: "Shin My sister asked me to take it to Fifth Master."

Bai Yutang had no choice but to put down the ax and took it.Bi Tao sighed: "Sister Shu treats Fifth Master very well, but she was also worried that Fifth Master's hands would be dirty by chopping firewood, so he couldn't hold the red bean cake, so he took out the oil paper and wrapped it up."

Bai Yutang said: "When you serve the food, just serve the food, how can the little girl sigh so much?"

Bi Tao said: "Sister Chun wants me to tell Fifth Master something, if Fifth Master doesn't want to listen, that's all."

Bai Yutang said: "From whom did you learn this skill, and you don't want to continue after talking about it? Why don't you just say that she wants to talk to me."

Bitao said, "Thank you."

Bai Yutang wondered, "What 'thank you'?"

"The words she wants to say to Master Wu are 'thank you'!" After she finished speaking, Bi Tao shook her head pretending to be deep, and went into the hall.

The dishes are already on the table.Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang to take the first seat, Bai Yutang gave way to him politely, and finally sat down, Zhan Zhao then helped Ding Mengwang to sit on the right, and himself sat on the left, Bi Tao sat down with him. Ya Huan stood beside her, and Hou Lu Caishu came.

Lu Caichun was just entering the hall, but before she stepped into the threshold with one foot, she looked around the table, and suddenly shouted: "Oh, I forgot to serve the wine." Then, she turned around and ran towards the kitchen. , Bi Tao called out from behind: "Sister Shu, walk slowly, I'll help you!" Before she finished speaking, she also ran out of the hall like a puff of smoke.

Bai Yutang saw that the crowd was uneven, so he simply put his hands on his knees and waited for people to arrive before eating.But Zhan Zhao spread his hands in a circle, and asked, "Why can't Brother Wu not be able to move chopsticks?"

Bai Yutang was surprised when he asked this question, but saw that he had already grasped the bamboo chopsticks, holding a piece of eggplant with oily gravy and looking at putting it in his bowl. Kuidou filled the chicken soup and handed it to Ding Meng.Bai Yutang's eyes followed the bowl of chicken soup until Ding Meng reached out to catch the bowl.

At this time, Lu Caichun was holding the wine jar and looking around the room, followed by Bitao holding a stack of wine dishes.For some reason, Bai Yutang glanced, and saw the white gauze wrapped around Lu Caichun's wrist, soaked in cold water with a large circle of wet marks, probably splashed when fetching water for cooking, and there were faint blood stains under the white gauze.

Finally, he couldn't help sneering, and said: "Bai heard that Ouyang Chun, the Northern Hero, and Zhan Xiong Fei, the Southern Hero, even though the north and the south are separated by thousands of miles, they are still the same family."

Zhan Zhao didn't understand the sarcasm in his words, so he asked, "What does Wu Xiandi mean?"

Lu Caichun didn't feel sorry for it for a while, she was confused, but she still walked to the table with her wine in her arms.Only Ding Meng's face turned pale.

Bai Yutang continued: "Don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, don't you? Is there a righteous sister called Bai, treating her like a human being? Before the table is served, you two eat it?"

Zhan Zhao was startled, stood up hurriedly, looked at Lu Caishu who was standing by the side, and said hurriedly, "Sixth sister came to the dormitory like this..."

"Is this the case when you come to the house?" Bai Yutang glanced at Lu Caichun, which made Lu Caichun's heart skip a beat, "Bai's sixth younger sister is hardworking, even if she is a guest, she must please her master. How do you know that this master can also be loved by her?" The guest is spoiled, throwing away the host and guest's gift?"

Zhan Zhao was about to defend himself, but he knew he was wrong, so he couldn't say anything good or bad.Bai Yutang still didn't let him go, pretending to be stunned and said: "Could it be that brother Zhan thinks that he is as famous as Bei Xia, and can be equal in the same generation? Can someone else's nephew be his nephew?"

Hearing these words, Zhan Zhao asked in surprise, "Sister Liu is the nephew of Hero Ouyang?"

Lu Caichun looked helpless, and was about to answer, but Bai Yutang stopped her and asked directly: "Brother Zhan doesn't know?"

Zhan Zhao hurriedly said, "The sixth younger sister never mentioned it to the two of us..."

"Brother Zhan doesn't know, but sister Ding should know about it," Bai Yutang looked at Ding Meng who was protecting his stomach, "I remember clearly, I told my sister in the letter."

Ding Meng pursed his lips tightly and did not speak. He lowered his head to avoid it, and rubbed his slightly protruding belly with his hands.

But Lu Caichun still wanted to smooth things over: "Now that I know it, it's over. Brother Wu and Brother Zhan sit down quickly, the food will be cold if you don't eat it."

But Bai Yutang threw the bamboo chopsticks on the ground, and said to Lu Caichun, "You can eat this meal, but I can't." After saying that, he walked out of the hall with a flick of his sleeve.Lu Caichun hurriedly put the wine jar on the table, and hurriedly caught up with Bai Yutang from behind. Seeing this, Bitao followed quickly.

Zhan Zhao was angry and impatient, angry and ashamed, opened his eyes wide and stared straight at Ding Meng.Seeing her still lowering her head and caressing her stomach, he couldn't say a word, so he sighed heavily and shook his head twice.

Lu Caichun followed Bai Yutang, seeing that he seemed to be very angry, she only looked forward silently, so she had no choice but to follow with her hands down.When he was about to step out of the courtyard, Bai Yutang stood still, turned around and stared at her with raised eyebrows.Lu Caichun didn't know why, and asked, "Want to go back for dinner?"

Bai Yutang almost didn't give her an angry smile: "Do you still want to live in this place? Why don't you hurry up and pack your bags?" At the end, he glanced at the shy Bi Tao, and added, "Pack up this girl's things, and come with me. Walk."

When she finished packing her things and came out, Lu Caichun still took a look inside the hall, and saw that the lights were still on, but Zhan Zhao and Ding Meng had disappeared. A thunderbolt knocked her into a daze, she couldn't tell right from wrong for a while, she just felt that it was terrible and ridiculous.

Leading Bi Tao, Lu Caichun followed Bai Yutang closely, walking on the street, raising his eyes from time to time, wanting to know his expression, but he could only see his tall and straight back.Bai Yutang walked fast, and Lu Caichun's pace was not slow, it was just that Bitao was out of breath, and he gasped, "Slow down, you two, I can't keep up."

Only then did Bai Yutang slow down his pace.When he slowed down, Lu Caishu felt that most of his anger had disappeared, so he tried to speak, and lamented in a low voice: "The hard work of cooking all night is all in vain."

"Young master, I can't afford your food." Although Bai Yutang still spoke sarcasticly, it didn't sound as harsh as before.

Lu Caichun said casually, "Why did Fifth Brother argue with them?"

Bai Yutang snorted softly: "Bai has never seen the wronged people around him the most in his life."

Lu Caichun sighed, and said, "It's not a grievance." Bai Yutang turned around and stared at her, wanting to see what she said, and only heard her say, "Sister Ding is a healthy person, I will take care of her. Should..."

"Don't mention her," Bai Yutang cut off her words, "You are so embarrassing, what's the use of talking about it? Do you expect her to hear it and let you live back?"

Lu Caichun was silent for a long while before saying: "She and Fifth Brother are very close people. Since Fifth Brother sent me to visit her home, how could I not treat her well? Could it be possible to turn against her after staying for a few days? She neither Treat me with a normal heart, I just treat her twice as well, that's it, and there is no big loss. As long as I have a clear heart, what do I care about her? Anyway, I don't want to live forever, the uncle will take over sooner or later. I'll go. Be patient for a few days, and it will pass."

Bai Yutang sneered and said, "It's as if I forced you to make glutinous rice balls -- let others flatten and round them."

Lu Caichun said: "I know that in this big city of Bianjing—uncle and third brother are not here—only fifth brother treats me with sincerity and kindness. Even if I have a conscience, I won't think about losing face to fifth brother."

Bai Yutang said: "Don't worry about my face, my face is not that important. You were in Songjiang Mansion before, weren't you very arrogant? When you arrive in Bianjing, at the root of the imperial city, are you going to put your tail between your legs and become a good citizen? —— Haoshengji Now, if you are wronged in the future, no matter who it is, it will be the same as when you were in Songjiang Mansion, you can pay back whatever you love."

Lu Caichun replied softly, then stopped talking, just held Bi Tao's hand, and together with the young man in front of him, walked slowly on the bustling cross street full of lights.
