[Rebirth] Talking Fox

Entering Xue's mansion, passing the main hall in front, there are three courtyards in the back, each with more than ten rooms, You Qing and others came early, and were arranged to live in the room on the west side of the first courtyard, and lived in the east. For candidates who came earlier, holly and wintersweet were planted in the yard, green and red intertwined, and they were full of vitality under the winter sunset.

It is said that they live in a single room, but in fact each room is not too small. It is divided into two rooms by elegant bamboo screens. The inner room has all kinds of beds, bedding and pillows. The outer room is probably arranged for the personal servants. There is a simple The bed collapsed, this condition was several times better than their room in the inn.

Every candidate will meet with the chief manager of the mansion after being led in.The manager is dressed in decent clothes, and his speech and behavior are full of everyone's demeanor: "This courtyard has been idle all year round, so there are not many servants. The kitchen utensils are all available, and the ingredients will be supplied for a long time. It's just a temporary adjustment. There is no manpower, so you have to be wronged to cook three meals a day by yourself."

You Qing smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Manager! Prime Minister Lao and the manager have bothered you."

The steward smiled, gave a few more instructions, then turned and left.

As soon as the person left, Bai Li immediately regained his excitement. Although the residence of You Qing in that life was very impressive after being promoted, he was just following secretly after all, and had never experienced it personally. At this time, he looked left and right in the room. Touch, with a curious look on his face.

Seeing him like this, You Qing felt a little distressed in his eyes, walked over and raised his hand to rub his face, and said in a low voice: "A Li, you have suffered with me these days."

"It's not bitter! I'm very happy!" Bai Li shook his head and smiled at him nonchalantly. After speaking, he fell down on the bed, stroked his arms against the mattress twice, and smiled.

You Qing likes to see his undisguised emotions the most, whether he is happy or unhappy, he always presents the most authentic side in front of him, so he also laughs, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching him toss and turn : "This is the prime minister's mansion after all, you should pay more attention to your words and deeds when you leave this room, you know?"

Bai Li jumped up from the bed, rubbed against him and put his arms around his neck, and said with a smile, "Why don't you come out of this room?"

You Qing raised his hand and patted him on the back, smiling happily: "It's up to you."

Bai Li stared at him for a long while, leaned over and kissed his lips, and stayed close to his lips for a while before pulling away to look at him: "Is this okay?"

"Yes." You Qing's eyes became a little deep, and his eyes were tightly locked on his face, and his bright eyes, straight nose bridge, and rosy lips were brought into the depths of his eyes one by one.

Bai Li felt some heat in his palm against his back, and he met his gaze, and smiled with anticipation clearly in his eyes: "Ah Qing, you said you like me."

You Qing was hooked by his words and his heart tightened. Looking at the undisguised emotion in his eyes, he raised his hand to hold his face and moved himself closer to him, and lightly touched his lips, listening to him being instantly confused. Breathing deeply, I felt the fire in my body burning up all of a sudden, I closed my eyes, raised my lips to kiss his forehead, between the eyebrows, and the bridge of the nose, every time I kissed, I had to stop for a moment, to suppress the restless emotions in my whole body.

Bai Li's body trembled a little, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss all the way down, although it was slow, it was enough for him to savor it for a long time.

He followed You Qingqian, just obsessed with love and admiration, but never thought about it on a deeper level, because they had never really gotten along with each other, so the desire of the body was always asleep.

But now that You Qing is kissing him, the soft and warm touch is slowly approaching his lips, Bai Li has completely lost the ability to think, and the hands around his neck are a little weak, unable to hold him anymore, he can only hold him weakly. Climbing on his shoulders, following instinct, she parted her lips slightly and let out a seductive gasp.

You Qing looked at his pink lips, and was agitated by the sweet breath that came out of his mouth, making his breathing a little heavy, the only sliver of reason left in his mind warned him to stay awake, but his lips still stuck to them uncontrollably, the tip of his tongue was on the The slightly parted lips swept across.

The string of reason was about to break, You Qing tightened his hands suddenly and pulled him into his arms, only felt that his whole body was soft as if he had no bones, and the turbulent fire in his body made him feel strange.

Through the screen, a figure suddenly appeared at the door, raised his hand and politely knocked on the open door twice: "Is Brother You there?"

You Qing paused for a moment, and his mind regained clarity instantly. Seeing Bai Li opened his eyes in a daze, his cheeks were full of blush, his heart was hooked again, and he quickly moved to his ear and whispered: " somebody is coming."

Bai Li's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked towards the door, and a bone came out of his arms with a speed that was astonishing.

You Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he stood up quickly and straightened his clothes, and said, "Brother Nian, please come in." Then he walked out.

The voices of the people outside sounded unfamiliar, and he couldn't remember which one it was for a moment, but it was always the candidates who lived here, because they both passed the exam in the same year, so he called him "Brother Nian" for the time being.

When the people outside heard his answer, they also walked in, and the two met at the screen.You Qing saw that it was Zhang Yuancai who lived next door. One of the four people who came here at noon today, although his voice sounded nothing special, but he had a bookish look on his face, which was very recognizable. He quickly smiled and nodded Arched hands: "So it's Brother Zhang."

Zhang Yuancai felt that the voice was inaccurate at the door, but now he could not help being stunned when he heard it from a close distance, and looked at him with concern: "Brother You's voice sounds a bit hoarse, is your throat uncomfortable?"

You Qing lowered his eyes to cover the flashing embarrassment in his pupils, coughed uncomfortably, and said with a smile: "Perhaps I caught a little cold on the way here, it's not a serious problem."

As soon as the words fell, laughter suddenly came from the bed inside.

Zhang Yuancai was taken aback again. He looked in and saw that it was You Qing's book boy lying on the bed with his head buried in a muffled smile. He couldn't help being even more surprised. He wanted to ask him what he was laughing at, but he thought of an even more strange question in his mind, and blurted out: : "Brother You, why is your book boy on your bed?"

You Qing was about to find an excuse, when Bai Li straightened up suddenly, pulled the quilt over and shook, and smiled without looking back: "I'm making the bed for my son!"

Zhang Yuancai nodded with an inexplicable face, looked back at the sky, didn't understand why the bed was made so early, let alone how the book boy had to climb onto the bed when he made the bed, but after thinking about it, each family has its own habits , I didn't ask any more questions.

You Qing smiled calmly, and pointed to the table and chairs beside him: "Brother Zhang, please sit down, the tea is not ready yet."

Zhang Yuancai waved his hands again and again: "Neighbors, you need to walk around frequently in the future, so don't be so polite."

"That's right." You Qing smiled and sat down opposite him, "I don't know how Brother Zhang's meals will be arranged in the future?"

Zhang Yuancai clapped his hands together: "That's why I came here! I heard that there is a kitchen every time you enter the courtyard. We have a total of ten people here, including the book boy, a total of 20 people. Why don't we eat together?"

You Qing asked: "Where are the younger brothers who came first?"

"That's how they are. The schoolchildren prepare meals together. Sometimes they eat in their own rooms, and sometimes they eat together."

When You Qing was at home, he rarely asked Bai Li to cook, and he never had the chance to cook when he came out. Now that he was here, he didn't need to think about it, but he knew that Shutong must be busy in the kitchen instead of a servant. He nodded and said: "Then let's join in, and then I will walk around with you."

"Okay!" Zhang Yuancai nodded and smiled. Seeing that Bai Li had already made the bed and walked over, he glanced at him and was curious about his delicate skin and tender flesh. He always felt that he didn't seem to be able to work, Chi asked. , "I wonder if Brother You's book boy can cook?"

Bai Li nodded, proudly: "I will!"

You Qing glanced at him, with distressed eyes, sighed secretly, and added: "It will be simple."

"Oh!" Zhang Yuancai nodded, chatted for a while and left.

You Qing asked Bai Li to have a good rest in the house, while he went out to get acquainted with other people who lived in the same place.

Everyone eats together at one place for dinner, Xie Yuan is at the table, Shutong is at the same table, while Bai Li is eating, he secretly glances at You Qing, very dissatisfied with this way of eating.

Naturally, You Qing could sense his gaze, and smiled at him comfortingly, thinking that today he sat together to get to know each other, and now the first courtyard is full of ten people, and those who will come in later They have to live in the second courtyard, at most they say hello to each other, there is no need to eat together, scholars love to be clean, and in the following days, they should eat in their respective rooms most of the time.

Just thinking about it alone, someone on the table started the topic, talking about Prime Minister Xue, the owner of this other courtyard, why the emperor wanted to requisition Prime Minister Xue's residence for them to live in.

There was a Jie Yuan who came earlier, and his family seemed to have some official background, so he knew a little more by listening to the wind and rain, and he couldn't help but speak with admiration, saying that the emperor intends to arrange a dormitory in the capital for the past. The candidates who came to rush for the exam moved in. Prime Minister Xue said that his other courtyard is empty anyway, so it is better to use it where it is available, and there are countless people in each session. The first person in the county and province moved in, and the emperor readily agreed.

Everyone chatted casually for a while before they realized that Prime Minister Xue is still young and has never been married, so his family members are very small, and everyone lives in the prime minister's mansion, so the other courtyard is naturally idle.

The previous admiring Xie Yuan said again: "The emperor relies heavily on Prime Minister Xue. When he is not busy, he often arranges him to be an imperial envoy. He goes down to various places to monitor local officials. Once found, he will be severely punished. Therefore, everyone Corrupt officials with ghosts in their hearts will turn their faces when they hear about it."

Yanling County, where You Qing lives, is located in a remote place, so he has never heard of these things, but after listening for a long time, he couldn't help but think of a person in his mind.

Another person over there said: "When I came here, I heard people talking about the impermanence of black and white in the underworld, and the impermanence of smiling faces in the world. Is this Prime Minister Xue the one talking about?"

"Exactly!"

You Qing raised his eyebrows, realized a little, and asked, "Is Prime Minister Xue a single name?"

The man was surprised: "Exactly! Brother You also knows?"

"I've heard it a little bit." You Qing responded casually, and didn't speak any more.
