On the stage, there are many strings and rapid pipes, and the soft libretto, babbling, lightly drilled into the ears, making people drowsy.

Bai Tan leaned on the armchair, half asleep and half awake, only felt a softness from the soles of his feet, faintly warm, and couldn't help opening his eyes.

He Xian'er wore a half-length women's cape with wide sleeves and double breasted, embroidered with peonies, flowers and grass patterns all over her body. She squatted on the ground and picked up her shoes, and put them back on her feet in white sandalwood. The peach pink dress was spread out on the floor, winding gracefully. , He came in a hurry, the powder on his face had not been washed off, his slender fingers were habitually curled up into orchid shapes, under the dim candlelight, there was a hazy beauty that was indistinguishable between male and female.

Bai Tan was taken aback, and reached out to pull He Xian'er up, "Why did you make this for me?"

Before he woke up, He Xian'er's face was calm and serious, as if she was busy with some serious business in her hands. After hearing Bai Tan's question, she suddenly opened her face, smiled and winked, and said in a drawn out tone: " The slave family has taken a fancy to the third master, when will you accept me into the mansion? The slave family must serve you wholeheartedly and carefully!"

Bai Tan said helplessly: "I just sang on stage for so long, and I still can't get enough of it? Don't make a fuss, pack up quickly, let's go to have supper." As he said, he straightened the hem of his clothes.

He Xian'er twitched the corners of her lips, and went away feeling aggrieved.

The two had a meal in Jixianlou, and it was almost curfew at the end, Bai Tan looked at the sky and said regretfully: "It's a pity that we don't have enough time today, otherwise, let's go to Zhou Laosi's restaurant again and invite him The next bowl of longevity noodles, he is best at making this."

He Xian'er smiled contentedly: "That's enough. In the past, when the third master was away, I would spend my birthday alone. Now that you are with me, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Bai Tan was surprised: "Team Leader He said that there are fans of your theater everywhere in Rongping City, people who want to invite you to a banquet can fill up three alleys, usually there is such a grand event, shouldn't the birthday day be even more lively?"

He Xian'er is a little lonely, his facial features are often hidden under the face powder and oil paint, and it seems to be stained with the smell of rouge and gouache over time. He is more than delicate, but not handsome enough, and there is always an indelible charm.Although Bai Tan knew that things happened for a reason, and understood He Xianer's many difficulties, sometimes he was not used to his delicate and pretty appearance, let alone other people.

He Xian'er said indifferently: "There are more than 300 days in a year, and every day belongs to others. Every day, I have to force myself to smile. Only on my birthday, I want to do whatever I want."

The two walked home, and because of their location, they first arrived at the gate of the Baifu. There was still some distance between them, and He Xian'er stopped, and in the dark under the shade of a tree, she chuckled and said, "Hurry up, third master!" Go back, I'm leaving now."

Bai Tan was worried, and stopped him: "Wait a minute, I'll call a boy to see you off."

If it was another day, He Xianer would have happily agreed long ago, but now she refused: "Don't bother, you call him, and I will definitely give you some rewards later. Besides, even though I have I don't have the power to restrain chickens, but my voice is bright enough, if something happens, if I speak up, I will guarantee that half the street will be woken up." He turned around and left after speaking, very straightforward.

I don't know why, Bai Tan felt a little sad in his heart, everyone has their own last resort, as a human being, He Xian'er's nature has not always been that of a mother-in-law, coquettish and coquettish.If the country is rich enough, the sea is clean and the rivers are clean, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but whoever wants to go against their nature and look at people's faces when they can eat a bowl of clean rice?

Bai Tan was lost in thought when a green date suddenly fell from the top of a tree and hit him right on the forehead, dispelling the melancholy in his heart, Bai Tan let out an ouch, clutched his red forehead, subconsciously raised his head to look.

Yun Jiuxiao, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was sitting on a branch of a tree with his legs crossed. He wore a black tight-fitting night gown with narrow sleeves, which perfectly blended his figure into the darkness. Between the whirling branches and leaves, he could barely see the sharp jade white chin. , bright red and ruthless lips, pinching something with both hands, throwing it and picking it up, enjoying themselves.

"You're back?" Bai Tan asked, paused, then said dissatisfied: "What did you hit me for?"

Yun Jiuxiao was very upset, and muttered in a low voice: "You are not good." Just now that person had gone far away, Bai Tan was still staring at him, it was really dazzling, I don't know what's so good about that weak chicken?

Bai Tan saw that Yun Jiuxiao was disguised, spoke secretively, and was alone again, so he didn't dare to expose Xingzang, and he didn't dare to speak loudly either, so he said: "Come down!"

Yun Jiuxiao shook his head: "You come up!"

Bai Tan chuckled and said: "If I can go up, I will beat you in the morning, eldest nephew."

Yun Jiuxiao: "..."

This is indeed Yun Jiuxiao's mistake. He was thrown in the barracks like him, and he was proficient in all kinds of weapons. When he was young, he also had mischievous moments. fish.Therefore, he didn't know that a tree that was "very short and short" in his eyes turned out to be a "difficult road to Shu and difficult to climb to the blue sky" for Bai Tan.

Yun Jiuxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and jumped down. When he landed silently, not even a speck of dust was stirred up. He hugged Bai Tan by the waist, tapped the tree trunk with his toes, and it seemed like a dark cloud rose into the sky, and he sat back firmly. place.

Next to him, Bai Tan moved his body strangely, looking at the sky and the ground, feeling the refreshing evening breeze, it was very pleasant.

Yun Jiuxiao said seriously: "I can easily climb a tree of this height when I was five years old."

Bai Tan: "..." Are you a devil?Do you have to say some spoiling and incomprehensible words at such a time?

Maybe it's because the two are born to be at odds with each other.

Bai Tan made up his mind and asked him, "What did you do a while ago?"

Yun Jiuxiao said solemnly: "Contact my father's old department and ask them to recruit staff in their respective jurisdictions as soon as possible. At present, an additional 5 people have been raised."

This number is not small, and within a short period of time, [-] troops have been added. In addition to showing that Yun Jiuxiao is really not to be underestimated, the appeal of the Yun family can also be well verified.Of course, money can turn ghosts around, and their Bai family's money is also very attractive.

Thinking of the silver taels spent like flowing water, Bai Tan felt a pain in his heart, and joked: "In the future, we will reward Wen Li for his merits. That child stayed up for several days and nights to make more money. account."

Yun Jiuxiao snorted, not only didn't have the slightest sympathy, but felt relieved. If it wasn't for Bai Wenli's misconduct and countless romantic anecdotes, he wouldn't have misunderstood him and forcibly tied Bai Tan to other people as "He Xian'er". In the courtyard, because of this, Bai Tan didn't take a good look at him at the beginning, it all depended on him to take out the water to soften it bit by bit.

The breeze came, and a faint smell of wine lingered in the nose. Yun Jiuxiao approached Bai Tan, sniffing up and down like a beast, and said sullenly: "Drinking? With that kid just now?"

Bai Tan inexplicably felt that the other party's tone was sour, as if there was a surge of jealousy, he looked up at the stars in the night, as if he hadn't heard anything.

In the silence of the night, the sound of stomach growling suddenly sounded, and the two stared at each other in silence for a moment.

Bai Tan couldn't help laughing.

It's strange to say that Yun Jiuxiao used to be in the military camp, when he was fighting with his brothers in the army, he often heard them joking and teasing each other. Yun Jiuxiao also understands the obscene words, and can still do things as usual without changing his face.Right now, Bai Tan just glanced at him with a half-smile, and Yun Jiuxiao felt a burning heat in his stomach, which made him unable to sit still, red ears, dry throat, so thirsty that he wanted to drink a jar of strong alcohol immediately. Wine, eager to destroy something.

Yun Jiuxiao couldn't hold back his face, and became angry from embarrassment: "If you laugh again, I will hang you on a tree overnight, and cry."

Bai Tan became more and more overjoyed.

Old General Yun was not the material to raise children, which caused Yun Jiuxiao to live a rough life when he was a child. Later, Yun Jiuxiao grew up slowly, and his mind was precocious, and he took care of his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that he could avoid being hungry and fed by his own father .Even so, he is also a person who is used to suffering. When he is marching and fighting, he often does not have three meals. Sometimes the food and grass are cut off and he is very hungry. Drinking ice and sleeping in the snow is a common thing.

This time to deal with business, according to the established route, there is no need to pass through Rongping City, but Yun Jiuxiao came here by himself under the guise of discussing matters with the Patriarch of the Bai family, and came all by himself, almost by intuition Outside the gate of Baifu, but after he arrived in a hurry, he hesitated again.

Yun Jiuxiao, who had always had a high opinion of himself and knew that he had an extraordinary appearance, became very timid. For a while, he wondered if he would smell bad because he hadn't dismounted to take a bath for two days. caught the man's eyes...

After thinking about it, Yun Jiuxiao just sat on a tree near the Baifu for a long while, relying on his good eyesight, looked into the mansion from a distance, trying to catch a glimpse of the man's figure.

After being delayed for a long time, Yun Jiuxiao completely forgot about the food issue that should be the most important priority.

"Okay." Bai Tan said, blinking a pair of sparkling peach eyes, and said: "Since you are here, let me treat you to grilled fish. The left and right fish are ready-made, and they are in the pond. We caught them. Wouldn't it be fun to do it yourself?"

Yun Jiuxiao agreed to come down, sent Bai Tan to the gate of Bai Mansion, climbed over the wall by himself, and went to the Rijin Hall where Bai Tan lived first. When Bai Tan arrived, the fish had already been prepared, and immediately brought the seasoning from the small kitchen. Let Yun Jiuxiao have a full meal, Bai Tan used to eat food before, and only ate two pieces to try something new.

After the meal, Yun Jiuxiao washed up briefly, and fell asleep on the beauty couch in the outer room, separated from Bai Tan by a screen.

When he woke up the next day, Yun Jiuxiao was gone, Bai Tan didn't care, changed his clothes, tied up his hair crown, went to Baihe Academy, rested for a quarter of an hour, waited for all the students to arrive, and started teaching.

Everything is orderly and calm.

Until an attendant from the yellow gate dressed in brown clothes and holding a dust whisk hurriedly came to the academy, asked the Ninth Prince to go out, and whispered a few words in his ear, the Ninth Prince was full of surprise and panic, and walked into the room at a loss, thinking To get pen and ink books.

The waiter in the yellow gate was in a hurry, and he didn't care whether to offend or not, and said with hatred, "ah, your highness, what time is it now, what are you doing with those things?" He supported the ninth prince's arm, like a gust of wind ran away.

After this encounter, all the students in the room felt a little strange, whispering and listening to each other.

In this eventful autumn, what disaster happened in the palace?
