[Rebirth] Talking Fox

The environment of Xue Mansion is very good. If it is in spring, it must be full of singing birds and fragrant flowers. After dinner, I walked around the yard at will. It seems that it is going to snow. If it snows, the wintersweet in this yard should be more eye-catching .

Now it's cold, a charcoal stove is installed in each room, and there is no need to go to the kitchen to boil water. Naturally, Bai Li is very happy, and puts You Qing on a chair to let him read a book, while he sits outside and reads. With the stove on, the room was warm.

Since the two got along so far, You Qing gave way to Bai Li everywhere, and naturally let Bai Li come first to wash up every day, so Bai Li habitually rinsed his mouth, washed his face and wiped his body after boiling the water.

It's winter now, it's very cold at night, Bai Li tidied himself up tremblingly, wrapped his clothes tightly and prepared to wash his feet, took the footbath and walked to You Qing's side, turned the chair next to him to the outside, sat on it The shoes and socks were taken off, and the feet were immersed in the water. I felt that the muscles and bones of my whole body were stretched out, and I was so comfortable that I hummed.

One of them was facing the table, the other was facing the table, sitting side by side, their figures overlapped and reflected on the wall, Bai Li looked at the shadow on the wall and smirked.

You Qing looked at him sideways: "A Li..."

Bai Li leaned on the back of the chair, turned around and smiled at him: "Ah Qing!"

You Qing smiled: "Why are you so happy?"

Bai Li blinked, a slight blush appeared on his fair face, he hugged his arm sideways, stared at him for a long time and laughed again: "I won't tell you!"

You Qing has always been able to see through his mind, so he didn't ask any more questions, and he didn't like to talk about the emotion in his heart. He just felt that Bai Li had been living a hard life with him. He originally took the imperial examination for his teacher, but now he is I added a thought, I don't want him to follow me to endure hardships, so I can only work harder for the next year's test.

Bai Li leaned his head on his shoulder and smiled brightly: "Ah Qing, I know, other people's book boys are different from mine!"

You Qing then laughed: "What's the difference?"

"They all slept in the outer room, but I slept in the inner room!"

You Qing was stunned for a moment, and the smile in his eyes was even stronger, he raised his hand and touched his head: "Yeah."

"Ah Qing, read your book!" Bai Li raised his head and kissed the side of his cheek, then rested his head on his shoulder again.

You Qing looked at his black hair scattered on his arms and chest, and felt soft in his heart: "Okay."

You Qing hadn't been reading for a long time, when suddenly the weight on his shoulders tilted, and he turned his head to look over, and saw that Bai Li had already fallen asleep, accidentally slipped his head and rubbed his head back up, smacking his lips and continuing to sleep.

Thinking that he must be tired from walking back and forth to the Gongyuan and out of the city today, plus he is prone to sleepiness in winter, and now his feet are still soaked in hot water, and they are so comfortably pillowed on his shoulders, without sleeping. It's strange to be drowsy.

You Qing raised his hand and gently moved his head away, let him lean on the back of the chair, stood up and turned to squat opposite him, dipped his hand into the water to test the temperature, it was still very hot.

He raised his head and glanced at Bai Li, afraid of waking him up, so he moved very lightly, lifted one of his feet slightly, and scrubbed him carefully and gently with hot water. Finally, he rolled up his trouser legs, and took hot water to wash the half of his calf above the ankle.

Bai Li's legs are white and straight, his feet are just like his own, delicate and exquisite, delicate and smooth in his hands, the soles of his feet are very soft, they are obviously a pair of blessed feet, but they walk so many roads with him every day.

You Qing was a little greedy for the touch in his hand, so he wiped it very gently with a towel, and finally couldn't help pinching it again, and then let it go with reluctance.

Bai Li slept deeply and didn't wake up until he was carried to the bed. You Qing covered him with the quilt, leaned over to look at him for a long time, the emotion in his eyes was like thick ink that couldn't be fainted, and kissed him on the lips. Dear, and cut his messy hair in one place, then turned around and sat down at the table again.

The next day, there was really light snow, and the snow particles fell gently on the shoulders. The ground was not yet white, and the courtyard was still full of withered and yellow branches, elegant red wintersweet, and emerald green holly, standing proudly in the fluffy snow.

You Qing stood under the eaves of the door and watched for a while, heard the movement behind him, knew that Bai Li had come out, turned around and walked to his side, raised his hand to touch his cheek: "Is it cold?"

"Not cold!" Bai Li smiled at him with squinted eyes.

"It's almost Chinese New Year, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"Big chicken drumsticks!" Bai Li blurted out without thinking, "Steamed, boiled, fried or grilled are all delicious!"

You Qing froze for a moment, then laughed: "You're still thinking about chicken legs, your habits are really like a fox."

Bai Li smiled silently at him, thinking rather complacently: I am a fox!I'm still a nine-tailed fox!There are only a handful of nine-tailed spirit foxes in this world, and it takes a long time for others to cultivate successfully, but I am the youngest!

Seeing him in high spirits, You Qing smiled and said, "This is outside the city anyway, so it's convenient. When the time comes, go out and find a place to dig the soil. I'll make you a beggar's chicken."

When Bai Li heard this, his saliva almost dripped onto the skirt of his clothes. With a look of fascination, he buried his head in his fingers and began to count the days seriously: "How long is the New Year's Eve?"

"It's almost there, it's only a few days away."

The two were talking, when suddenly there were faint voices and footsteps from the front hall, Bai Li curiously dragged You Qing into the yard, and as soon as he stood still, he saw several bookboys leaving one after another from other rooms When they came out, they all looked up and down curiously.

A few figures appeared at the corner of the long corridor leading to the front hall. The first one was tall and straight, dressed in brocade and jade with fox fur, he looked rich and noble, and after taking a few steps closer, he turned out to be a familiar face, and it was the owner of the Xue residence. , Xue Chang.

Bai Li was a little surprised, and pulled You Qing's sleeve: "Ah Qing, isn't this Mr. Xue?"

"Exactly, Mr. Xue is the prime minister of the current dynasty, and also the master of this other courtyard."

Although Bai Li has experienced the previous life, when he saw Xue Chang, he could still remember that this person had kindness to You Qing, but after all, it has been a long time, and he can't remember many details. At this time, he heard that he was the prime minister, so he thought about it Only then did I feel that there were some impressions, and I suddenly realized and nodded.

Xue Chang was also a little surprised when he saw You Qing and the two, and then he walked slowly with a smile, and said as he walked, "It's really a fate!"

You Qing showed a smile, and bowed his hands respectfully: "Student You Qing has met the Prime Minister!"

Xue Chang quickly stopped his movement, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be too polite, I don't like these etiquettes the most, and you come and go every day is annoying."

You Qing saw that he was sincere, so he didn't show any more politeness. He smiled and withdrew his hand. When he raised his eyes and saw that he turned his gaze to Bai Li, his expression paused slightly. Only then did he realize that Bai Li was a little unusual today. He greeted happily, and quickly turned his head to look suspiciously.

Bai Li stood beside him quietly, staring at the luxurious and fluffy fox fur on Xue Chang's body, biting his lip, his eyes were straight, and he looked like he was out of his mind.

Xue Chang had a smile in his eyes, looked at him for a moment, and joked: "What? You don't remember me so soon?"

You Qing was a little puzzled by Bai Li's abnormality, but the feeling of blockage in his heart disappeared, and he said quickly: "A Li, I have met the prime minister soon."

Bai Li came back to his senses, looked at him, said "Oh", and obediently bowed to Xue Chang and cupped his hands: "Bai Li has met the prime minister!"

"I've already said it just now, so there's no need to be polite." Xue Chang smiled even more intensely, and stretched out his hand towards him as he spoke, trying to stop his movement.

Bai Li glanced at the white ball on his sleeve, his heart skipped a beat, he quickly withdrew his hand, and quickly took half a step back to distance himself from him.

Xue Chang paused with his hands in the air, raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then smiled and retracted his hands.

Once again, You Qing sensed something was wrong with Bai Li, and quickly glanced at him, thinking that although Xue Chang is the owner of this place, he doesn't live here, so he hurriedly said: "It's snowing and I need to trouble you to come here, why don't you come in and have a drink?" A cup of tea to warm you up?"

Xue Chang didn't care about his anti-client attitude, nodded and smiled: "Alright, I happened to be out of the city on business and passed by here, so I came to have a look, are you still used to living here?"

"I'm used to living here, Mr. Lao is concerned."

The two walked in while exchanging greetings, Bai Li stood in the courtyard for a while, and saw the guards and stewards following Xue Chang walking past him before recovering, and hurriedly followed.

Xue Chang turned around and gave instructions to the manager, asking him to call the rest of the people over to talk, and after finishing the order, he watched with interest Bai Li standing at the table with his head bowed and making tea.

You Qing pursed his lips, his eyes were quiet, and some thoughts came to his mind, but his face was calm.

After making tea for a while, several other Jie Yuan who lived next to him rushed over one after another and saluted Xue Chang one after another.Xue Chang made acquaintance with them with a smile, and chatted casually.

Bai Li has been standing next to You Qing, at first he could understand what they said, but later they became more academic, he only understood half of what he heard, and when he lost his mind for a moment, his eyes moved to Xue Chang, staring at the lapel of his clothes The hairball in the place is resentful.

Xue Chang only sat for two cups of tea, then got up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he glanced at Bai Li again, and saw that he was staring at him unblinkingly. When he looked closely, he found that those moist eyes There seemed to be anger hidden in his eyes, he couldn't help being a little surprised, paused for a moment, looked back with a smile, said goodbye to everyone present, then turned and left.

Although this is his mansion, he can't stay here for long. After all, all the people living there are candidates who are about to take part in the general examination. Any one of them may become a disciple of the emperor in the future. If you stay for a long time and settle down, you will be suspected of forming a party for privacy.

Most of the Xie Yuan present also understood this truth, so they didn't exchange more greetings, they all handed each other off, and didn't make much intimacy, presumably they were either honest people or smart people.

After sending Xue Chang away, they chatted with each other for a while and left one after another, only You Qing and Bai Li were left in the room.

You Qing pulled Bai Li to sit on the couch, touched his head, and was about to speak when he hugged him, stunned for a moment, and looked down at him: "What's wrong?"

Bai Li flung himself into his arms, hugged her hands tightly, shook her head with red eyes and hummed, but didn't speak.

You Qing thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Why didn't you greet Mr. Xue politely when you saw him today? Didn't you say that he was kind to us?"

Bai Li popped out of his arms all of a sudden, sniffling and roaring, "He's a bad guy!"

You Qing raised his hands to hold his face, rubbed his thumbs against the corners of his bright eyes, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Why is he a bad guy again? Didn't you say he was a good guy last time?"

"The clothes on him are made of fox fur! How cruel!"

You Qing looked at the serious anger on his face, stopped joking, and rubbed his face comfortingly: "Rich people always have these preferences, if you get angry with each other, can you get over it?"

"Hmph!" Bai Li grabbed his hand and threw himself into his arms again, "Ah Qing will become a rich man in the future, Ah Qing never wears fox fur! Being rich is just an excuse!"

Although You Qing really didn't like this kind of dress, he was still amused by his words: "Are you a fortune teller or a physiognomist? You can speak so eloquently about unknown things."

Bai Li didn't answer him, and really wanted to teach Xue Chang a lesson, but when he thought that he would help You Qing in the future, he felt that he couldn't do anything, so he couldn't help being angry and depressed, and hammered You Qing's arm: "Anyone who wears fox fur is a bad guy!"

"Yes, they are all bad guys." You Qing patted him on the back amusedly, "Are you a fox? You care so much."

"Humph!"
