Jin Yu Dynasty

In the Bai mansion, Bai Xuelan asked Xuan Huaifeng to change clothes, but she went to the study and asked someone to bring the servant Zhang Rong over.

Rong Zhang came soon, and when he came up to Bai Xuelan, he asked respectfully, "What orders does the chief have?"

Bai Xuelan said, "You close the study door, let's talk."

Zhang Rong didn't know why, but he knew that the chief was very shrewd and powerful, and he was specially asked to come here, so he didn't say anything, and he was already a little worried.

He went to close the door, returned to Bai Xuelan, and waited with his hands down.

Only Bai Xuelan asked with a smile, "I heard that you have a little friendship with Director Nian's wife?"

Zhang Rong seemed to have been struck by a thunderbolt in his ear, his face turned pale with fright, he plopped down on the ground, and said tremblingly, "I don't dare to lie, Mrs. Nian gave the villain 200 yuan as a reward for saying Xuan The adjutant is not in good health, and I don't know if he is used to living in a mansion. If Adjutant Xuan feels uncomfortable, he should give a call and inform Nianzhai. The villain took the money for a moment of greed. But the chief! The young one knows the rules in the mansion. He dare not reveal a single word about the affairs of the mansion. After all... It's the little one who has shallow eyelids and cheap hands who took money from Mrs. Nian. The little one should be damned! Return the money to Mrs. Nian. Chief, you must spare this little one! I won’t dare again!”

While speaking, she knelt at Bai Xuelan's feet and kowtowed.

He is a bit experienced in the mansion, and he knows that the chief is a smiling tiger with sharp teeth, and if he really wants to show off his power, it is unambiguous.

It is unacceptable to deduct his salary and drive him out of the mansion for breaking the taboo of this one. The most terrible thing is to find two or three guards, tie him up and take him to a remote place outside the city, dig a pit and bury him alive.

The last time the Guangdong army bribed a footman in a mansion, trying to spy on the secrets, but Bai Xuelan found out, and that's how it was dealt with.

In order to make an example to others, Bai Xuelan did not hide this fact from the servants in the mansion.

Rong Zhang happened to be there when the footman was arrested. Remembering the howling and screaming of that unlucky fellow when he knew he was about to be buried alive, Rong Zhang broke out in a cold sweat and kowtowed vigorously.

Bai Xuelan smiled and said, "I came here to give you a chance to repay the 200 yuan favor from Mrs. Nian... Stop it, you are like a kowtow, how can I talk to you?"

Zhang Rong was stunned, raised his swollen forehead, and looked at Bai Xuelan suspiciously, wondering if he was telling the truth, or using himself as a pastime before death.

Bai Xuelan didn't care what he was thinking, and said slowly, "Didn't she ask you to call her? That's very good, you can call her now. Just say that you reported the news of Adjutant Xuan to her, remember Hold on, don't get me involved."

Call Zhang Rong to come over.

Bai Xuelan gave some instructions, then waved her hand, "Hurry up and do it."

Zhang Rong hurried to the phone booth as if he had been pardoned.

Only then did Bai Xuelan leave the study and return to the bedroom.

Xuan Huaifeng had already changed his clothes for going out, and out of respect for Mrs. Lin, he deliberately put on a brand new pure black suit.His suits are all custom-made by master craftsmen. They are made of high-grade foreign materials, and they are cut meticulously, showing the beautiful curve of the waistline even more.

His temperament and appearance are both excellent, coupled with the well-tailored suit, he is very energetic and beautiful.

Bai Xuelan stepped into the room with one foot, raised her eyes and saw this handsome young man, she could hardly move her eyes.

Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Have you handled your official duties?"

Bai Xuelan nodded and said, "It's all taken care of."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "Then you can go out?"

Bai Xuelan smiled and said, "You are too impatient. Always ask me to change my clothes."

Xuan Huaifeng glanced at Bai Xuelan's suit and said, "I think your clothes are very solemn, why do you need to change?"

Bai Xuelan said, "I've been wearing this suit all morning, and I'm sweating. Change to another suit, it'll be fresher."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "Just change it now, I'll wait for you."

Bai Xuelan said, "Okay."

I went to the closet to get a clean gray suit, went behind the screen, changed slowly, and then came out slowly.

Xuan Huaifeng said, "You spend at least twice as long changing clothes today as usual."

Bai Xuelan said generously, "You are going to meet Lin Qijun, of course I have to delay it for a while. Do you still expect me to rush over like burning my ass?"

Because of today's debate, Xuan Huaifeng was the one who won the victory and won the freedom to go out, so he gave way to Bai Xuelan, and said with a smile, "Very well. I know you don't like to see him, and I have wronged you today. Let's go out."

She came out side by side with Bai Xuelan, and as soon as she stepped out of the Crescent Gate, she saw the housekeeper approaching her.

Seeing them, the housekeeper hurried to the front and reported, "Adjutant Xuan, I have your phone number. It's from Mrs. Nian."

Xuan Huaifeng heard that it was his sister's call, so he had to answer it. Even if he wanted to go out, he could only delay it temporarily.

He went to the phone booth, picked up the phone, and called out, "Sister."

Xuan Daiyun was on the other side, as if he wanted to ask a crime, but also as if joking, he said, "Well, you kid, you didn't come to my side after you left the hospital. Don't you recognize the door of Nian's house? Have a sister?"

Xuan Huaifeng laughed, "How could it be?"

Then he patiently explained the reason why he was not cured yet, because he had lung disease, and he was afraid that he would infect others when he went to Nian's house.

Xuan Daiyun said, "Since it is contagious, you must stay in the mansion and not go out. Well, let me trust you, as long as you don't play tricks on me, let me know that you won't come to see me, But you went somewhere else, I can't forgive you."

Xuan Huaifeng was stunned, thinking about going to Lin Qijun's house, if he concealed it now, it would be difficult to explain it to Xuan Daiyun after the investigation.

After thinking for a while, he honestly confessed that he was going to Lin Qijun's house to express his condolences.

Xuan Daiyun disagreed, and said, "I want you to come to see me, but you use illness as an excuse. What does the Lin family have to do with you? You rush over. Huaifeng, I didn't mean you, you just got seriously ill What are you doing in a house where there are dead people? You don’t need to say anything else, I will never allow you to go.”

Xuan Huaifeng said, "Sister, Aunt Lin is more or less an elder..."

Xuan Daiyun said, "So what about the elders? If you really pay attention to the elders so much, and the eldest sister is your mother, I can be considered half of your elders. Don't you listen to me?"

Listening to her words, Xuan Huaifeng showed arrogance, and argued, "I'm not a child, I have my own ideas."

Xuan Daiyun didn't seem to expect his younger brother to talk back like this, he paused on the other end of the phone, his voice suddenly raised, and said, "Okay! What a chief adjutant of the chief customs officer, your wings are stiff now, tell me about The claim is coming! You... you!"

Suddenly, there seemed to be a loud bang.

Xuan Huaifeng's heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed the microphone and shouted, "Sister! Sister! What's wrong with you?"

The other end didn't listen to Xuan Daiyun's words, but it seemed like Zhang Mama was calling, "Miss! Miss! You don't want to..."

Halfway through the speech, the microphone beeped dully.

It turned out that the phone had been hung up.

Xuan Huaifeng was so anxious that he quickly dialed again. After ten rings, no one answered.

He panicked even more and ran out in a hurry.

Outside the telephone booth, Bai Xuelan was standing and waiting leisurely, saw him come out, and asked, "Did you finish talking with your sister? Can you go to Lin's house?"

Xuan Huaifeng said anxiously, "Who are you going to the Lin family? I'm afraid something happened to my sister."

Bai Xuelan showed surprise, and asked, "What's going on?"

Xuan Huaifeng didn't bother to talk to him, and ran to the gate. Fortunately, because he was going to pay condolences to the Lin family, he had already ordered preparations, and the car was waiting at the gate.

Xuan Huaifeng got into the car, and Bai Xuelan squeezed in too.

Xuan Huaifeng told the driver, "Hurry up! Stay home last year!"

When the car was on the road, he suppressed his anxiety and told Bai Xuelan about the matter.

Bai Xuelan thought about it and said, "You are overthinking, Mrs. Nian is a temperamental person. In my opinion, there will be no accidents. It is possible to say that she was angry with you and dropped the phone."

Xuan Huaifeng was comforted by his lover, and his hanging heart was a little bit down. He sighed and said, "No matter what, I can't rest assured if I don't see that my sister is safe. It's all my fault. She is pregnant. Child's person, I shouldn't talk back to her."

Bai Xuelan smiled slightly and praised him, "You are such a good brother."

The curvature of the corners of the lips is quite thought-provoking.

It's just that Xuan Huaifeng was worried about his sister, how could he have the time to think about Bai Xuelan's mysterious smile?

When they arrived at Nianzhai, Xuan Huaifeng got out of the car quickly, but Bai Xuelan sat in the back seat of the car and did not move.

Xuan Huaifeng asked strangely, "Don't you agree?"

Bai Xuelan said, "I protected you in a German hospital and refused to visit. My wife has a lot of opinions on me this year. I won't go in. I will wait for you in the car. If you see that she is fine, hurry up." Come out, I'll take you back to the mansion for dinner."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "OK."

He entered the Nian's house, walked through the small garden, and hurried towards Xuan Daiyun's courtyard. When he arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, he saw a bunch of red flowers blooming densely in the courtyard, which was very bright and beautiful, but Mama Zhang Standing by the flowerbed, holding a gourd scoop in his hand, as if watering.

Xuan Huaifeng saw that Mama Zhang still had time to pour water, and her sister must be fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the yard, and called out, "Mama Zhang."

When Zhang Ma saw it was him, she put down the gourd ladle and wiped her hands on the apron, and walked over and said, "Young master, you are here. Are you feeling better? But I am in suspense. .”

After saying that, he turned his head and shouted happily into the room, "Miss, the young master is here."

Xuan Huaifeng walked towards the door of the main room, and was about to call out to his sister, when suddenly Xuan Daiyun's voice came from the room, and said coldly, "Mother Zhang, stop me. I don’t want to see my younger brother who I see in my eyes.”

Xuan Huaifeng froze, turned around, and looked at Mama Zhang in embarrassment.

Zhang Ma said, "Miss, the young master is finally here, why bother? Let him in."

Xuan Daiyun sneered and said, "What are you doing here? People have grown up and have their own ideas. My small place can't accommodate such a big Bodhisattva who is free and equal. You ask him to go wherever there are young people's free ideas. Go. If the wings are hard, I will fly anyway. Why should I hinder other people's freedom if I am old-fashioned?"

Xuan Huaifeng could only smile wryly at Mama Zhang after hearing these angry sarcasm.

Mama Zhang said in a low voice, "Young master, you don't know her yet? You have a sharper mouth than anyone else, and a softer heart than anyone else. However, it's no wonder she is angry. You have just recovered from your illness. Why are you going to go to a funeral?" What? How unlucky. Miss loves you so much, you don't take care of your body, you can't blame her for being angry with you."

Xuan Huaifeng asked helplessly, "What should we do now?"

Zhang's mother smiled kindly at him, and said to the room, "Miss, don't be angry. People who are pregnant with children, why bother to be angry with your brother. The young master is a sick person. Don't you have the heart to let him stand there?" Is the wind blowing here?"

As soon as Xuan Daiyun knew that his younger brother was coming, he moved his big belly with difficulty, moved to the window, lifted a little curtain with a finger, and peeked out secretly, but he refused to put soft words in his mouth, only saying, " Isn’t it just nine cold days, the wind can blow him to death?”

Zhang Ma said, "Oh! Miss, this is your fault. This is your own brother, how can you say a dead word? Is this trying to curse him? I won't help you."

Xuan Daiyun couldn't hold his face any longer, and cursed with a smile, "Maybe he pissed me off so much, so why don't I curse him? The two of you are the same. What are you doing standing there? Come in."

Xuan Huaifeng hurried in, saw Xuan Daiyun, went up and asked, "Sister, are you okay? I was on the phone just now, but it scared me."

Xuan Daiyun originally wanted to scold this disobedient brother, but he was ill for more than half a month and was not allowed to visit him in the hospital. Can handle it.

Looking at my younger brother again, although he looks good, his cheeks have lost a lot of weight. It can be seen that he was very ill a while ago.

Thinking about it this way, I can't help but feel very distressed, and I also think about my younger brother, who lost his mother when he was very young.When I was young, I was pitiful, so that’s all. How come I’m still full of disasters and illnesses when I grow up?It can be seen that I am really incompetent as an older sister.

How come I’m still full of disasters and illnesses when I grow up?It can be seen that I am really incompetent as an older sister.

Can't help feeling sad for a moment.

Xuan Huaifeng saw his sister staring at him, unconsciously, the eye circles were reddened, he was startled, and hurriedly said, "Sister, I know I was wrong, if you are angry, just scold me. Don't be sad yourself."

Xuan Daiyun also felt that the sudden heat in his eyes was really meaningless, so he forced a smile on his face, waved to Xuan Huaifeng, and told him to sit beside him.

Touched his thin cheeks, touched his forehead with the back of his hand, put his hands on his shoulders, stroked him lightly, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" place?"

Xuan Huaifeng said, "No."

Xuan Daiyun said, "Does the doctor have any advice?"

Xuan Huaifeng said, "That is to say, the diet should be lighter."

Xuan Daiyun nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly raised his head again, and said to Zhang Ma, "Are you free? Don't you need to cook?"

Mama Zhang patted her forehead, "Oh! Oh! As soon as I saw the young master come back, I was so happy that I was dizzy. I'll go to the kitchen and cook some of the young master's favorite dishes."

Xuan Daiyun looked at her back, and added a sentence, "Don't make things too greasy, keep it light."

Xuan Huaifeng remembered that Bai Xuelan was still waiting in the car outside, and said, "Sister, I will leave after a while, I won't have dinner here."

Xuan Daiyun resolutely said, "This won't work. Since you became the adjutant of Naluoshizi, it is very difficult for me to meet you. The ancients said that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. I can see the mansion of your chief executive." , It’s even more powerful than Gongmen. Is he the emperor’s father? Even if you have a meal with me, he will take care of it.”

Xuan Huaifeng smiled and said, "I don't do the chief's business. Before I went out, I thought about going back for dinner."

Xuan Daiyun snorted and said, "You will defend your boss. Let me tell you, if it wasn't for my inconvenient health, I would have gone to ask for advice when you were in the hospital. My brother gave birth I am sick, my sister is not allowed to visit, what is the reason for that?"

Xuan Huaifeng really didn't want his sister to feel bad for her lover. Hearing Xuan Daiyun's complaint, he just smiled and listened obediently, diverted the topic to other places, looked at Xuan Daiyun's big belly and asked, "My little nephew was born Happy day, when will it start?"

When Xuan Daiyun was asked about this, a shy tenderness appeared on his face. He lowered his head and gently stroked his swollen belly, and said with a smile, "It's almost time. Your brother-in-law invited a Japanese midwife to give her some I want her to live at home. If there is any movement, there will be someone who understands to take care of her.”

When it comes to the soon-to-be-born child, the pregnant women will naturally talk more, pulling Xuan Huaifeng, nagging about some homework, and showing Xuan Huaifeng the little clothes and socks she made recently.

Seeing that his sister was so happy, Xuan Huaifeng couldn't bring up the matter of dinner anymore, and Bai Xuelan was still hanging in his heart. Taking advantage of Xuan Daiyun's words, he found an excuse to walk out of the house. Come over and wave to him.

Nian Rong hurried over, because he hadn't seen Xuan Huaifeng for a while, so he bowed to salute, and asked with a smile, "Master Uncle, what do you have to say?"

Xuan Huaifeng took a five-yuan note from his pocket, stuffed it in his hand, and said in a low voice, "President Bai is in the Lincoln car outside the door, you can help me go and tell him that my sister left me to eat." I really can't say no to dinner. Please don't wait for me, go back first."

Seeing that there was a reward of five yuan, and the work was not difficult, and it was a good job, his face showed happiness and hospitality, he responded readily, and went out of the gate.

After telling Bai Xuelan about Xuan Huaifeng's words, Nian Rong went back to the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he ran into Nian Gui, another servant of Nian's family.

Relying on the trust of Nian Rong, Nian Gui is a very talkative servant in Nian Zhai, and he has always disliked Nian Rong not following his orders, so when he saw Nian Rong coming in from the door, he taught , "Nian Rong, you went shopping again? White-collar workers are paid a monthly salary, and they don't do any work. Do you still want this errand?"

How could Nianrong accept his account, and retorted, "Which eye of yours saw me shopping? I just went on an errand for my uncle and master. Besides, it's not up to you whether you want my errand or not. You just Do your job."

As he spoke, he brushed Nian Gui's side and walked past in a grand manner.

Niangui was so angry that he stared at the back and cursed, "Don't think that your wife values ​​you, just because you don't see anyone. A villain succeeds, such arrogance..."
