Jin Yu Dynasty
Chapter 22
What happened last night still left a shadow in his heart, Xuan Huaifeng deliberately avoided Bai Xuelan's bedroom, walked around behind the rockery, walked along the pond to the small dining room along the five-curved stone bridge.
When the servant saw him coming, he quickly helped him serve a bowl of warm rice porridge with wolfberries and red dates, a plate of white chicken feet, a steamed pork meatball, and a plate of green vegetables boiled in water.
Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Is there no white porridge?"
The servant smiled and said, "White porridge is available, but you should eat this today. The master chef in the kitchen got up before dawn and made it for you. After all, it should be rewarded, right?"
Xuan Huaifeng was even more surprised, "How do you say that?"
"Adjutant Xuan, goji berries improve eyesight and red dates nourish blood." The servant pointed to the white chicken feet on the small dining table. , will leave a black mark. These days, I think you are going to be taboo."
Xuan Huaifeng couldn't help laughing, "How can there be so many rules? You are more nagging than our mother Zhang."
Slowly, he suppressed his smile again, and became suspicious, "Who named these things?"
The servant refused to answer, but only showed a smile, "No one, just a little bit of filial piety among us."
Xuan Huaifeng asked directly, "Is it the chief?"
"Ugh."
The servant uttered a word from his throat, which seemed to be affirmation, but also seemed to be a sigh. He raised his eyes, observed Xuan Huaifeng's face, slapped himself lightly, and muttered, "Useless things."
He smiled at Xuan Huaifeng again, "Adjutant Xuan, you are very capable and wise, and you guessed it right away. You must not fight with the chief. If you two fight, we will be in trouble. The chief said , I am not allowed to teach you that he has an explanation. He said that he is afraid that you will know that he ordered it, and you will be angry and refuse to eat it. If you are considerate, we will be blessed."
He smiled at him, and bowed again.
Xuan Huaifeng glanced at the table, feeling everything.
took a long sigh.
Picking up the half-warm wolfberry and red date porridge, he took a sip, frowned and said, "I'm not used to this taste, you can change me to a bowl of white porridge."
"This……"
"If you don't change, I won't be bothered to give you all this and that in the future."
The servant had to give him a bowl of white porridge instead.
Xuan Huaifeng drank more than half a bowl of white porridge with some tender rapeseed, which was more comfortable than the goji berry and red date porridge just now.
But there is always a person standing beside him, watching helplessly, it feels very strange.
"You didn't have breakfast either?" Xuan Huaifeng put down the bowl and gestured for the servants to sit down together.
"No, no, no," said the footman, waving his hands, "I've already eaten."
After standing still for a while, he tentatively asked, "Adjutant Xuan, are these pork balls... not tasty?"
"Early in the morning, it's weird to eat this."
"Try one, try the taste?"
Xuan Huaifeng realized something, thought for a while, then raised his head, "What's the point here?"
The servant grinned, looked around and said in a low voice, "The chief said, if you eat a pork ball, you will be rewarded with one yuan. If you eat a few pork balls, you will be rewarded with a few yuan. The chief will not let you know about this."
Xuan Huaifeng was taken aback, funny and angry, "Everyone in this mansion bought and sold me as if they were imported. Tell me, are you afraid that I will report to the chief?"
The servant said very reassuringly, "Zhang Rong said that Adjutant Xuan has a good heart and never puts us in trouble. I thought, why should I keep it from you? Besides, the chief is doing this for your own good, not harming you. I know what the big deal is." of?"
When Xuan Huaifeng woke up, he was thinking about how to avoid Bai Xuelan.
Judging from what happened last night, if we meet today, it will probably be very unpleasant.
Now being interrupted by the footman, and saying Bai Xuelan's name a few times, she is not as impatient as she thought.
"Okay." Xuan Huaifeng took a ball in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it slowly, and reminded, "I made a dollar for you, don't forget. By the way, your eyes are strange, you are a newcomer of?"
"Yes. The younger one's name is Fu San, and he's new to the White Mansion."
Xuan Huaifeng stood up, took a cup of tea, rinsed himself, and said with a smile, "You should do your best here. I heard that being a servant in the Bai Mansion is very expensive. If you have any news in the future, you can also talk to me, so that you can If you earn more, I will help you a little bit." After speaking, he walked out the door.
Fu San's face blossomed, and he thanked him repeatedly behind him.
After leaving the small dining room, Xuan Huaifeng stopped in the back corridor.
Where to go at this time, I am a little hesitant.
Taking the initiative to go to Bai Xuelan, she was really embarrassed, and she didn't know what to say when they met.
Moreover, God knows what good things Bai Xuelan will do if she goes crazy?
It's better to go and look at the few outlines of the customs. It was a mess a while ago, and I didn't do anything serious, and the tax reform I mentioned didn't go up or down.
While Bai Xuelan is recovering from her injuries and has no time to mess around, it's better to do something practical.
Xuan Huaifeng made up his mind, and went to his room to get the books.
After turning around for a few steps, I happened to run into the official's house and said with a smile, "Adjutant Xuan, you got up so early, I thought you were in the room, so it was almost a waste of time. Fortunately, I bumped into it."
"Are you looking for me?"
"You have a visitor who is anxious to see you."
"Oh?" Xuan Huaifeng was slightly taken aback.
He has never had any guests here.
The official said, "I thought it was too early to disturb you. But looking at him, he seemed to have something to do, and begged me a few more words. So I had to run to him to see if you woke up." , if he doesn’t wake up, I’ll tell him to go back.”
Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Who is it?"
"It's a customer surnamed Dai. In fact, I called a few times a while ago, saying that I want to see you. Because you are always uncomfortable, the chief said that no matter what happens, we can talk about it when you feel better."
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Xuan Huaifeng with an ambiguous expression.
The things about Bai Xuelan and Xuan Huaifeng were tacitly understood by everyone in the mansion, but they were strictly ordered by Bai Xuelan not to dare to bring out those deeds that would make people blush and heartbeat in front of Xuan Huaifeng.
Why is Adjutant Xuan "uncomfortable", everyone is clear in their hearts.
"Surname Dai?"
Xuan Huaifeng thought about it left and right, feeling strange.
If the surname is Lin, it is probably Qijun. They broke up unhappy yesterday. With Qijun as a person, he came to the door to express reconciliation, which was expected.
Xuan Huaifeng doesn't get along with friends with this surname very often.
It stands to reason that most of the people in the General Administration of Customs have official duties, and most of them ask to see Bai Xuelan or Adjutant Sun, so there is no reason to call him by name.
After thinking for a while, his expression suddenly changed, and he remembered Dai Min who he met on the Shuyang Pavilion.
Immediately think of those things in Dai Min's school.
How did you forget him?
It's really bad, people must be waiting anxiously, and catch up to the door.
I am ashamed.
Xuan Huaifeng hurriedly asked, "Where is that Mr. Dai?"
The housekeeper corrected, "It's not sir, it's a lady."
"What?" Xuan Huaifeng was taken aback.
I just stood there thinking, but I couldn't come up with a result anyway.
Why don't you go and have a look.
He went to the room and hurriedly changed into a coat, walked on the road, suddenly stood still, turned back and asked the housekeeper, "Did the chief drink any more last night?"
The butler shook his head and said, "Thanks to Adjutant Xuan's visit, the chief didn't drink anymore. I heard that the doctor checked him. He was also very quiet. He got an injection, took a few pills, and fell asleep."
Xuan Huaifeng felt better after hearing this.
Seeing that the door of the small side hall is in front, without further ado, I went straight to the small side hall.
Entering the small side hall, there was indeed a young lady sitting inside, with shoulder-length short hair, black and smooth, not curled up like the usual ladies and ladies, but with a youthful and clean atmosphere.
The clothes are simple, but not shabby at all, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
She was sitting drinking hot tea brought by the servant, when she saw a handsome, slender young man coming in, she put the tea bowl on the table, stood up, and smiled generously, "This must be my brother." Adjutant Xuan is often mentioned."
"you are……"
"Oh, my brother, Dai Min, is the vice-principal of Xinxin Primary School. I met Adjutant Xuan once. My name is Dai Yun." The female guest obviously also received a new-style education, and she was very open. She stretched out her hand as she spoke.
Xuan Huaifeng shook hands with her, secretly surprised.
Although Dai Yun's hands were clean and beautiful, they were a bit rough to hold, as if they had calluses.
She shook hands with Xuan Huaifeng, and took out a business card written in pen from her small bag.
Xuan Huaifeng took it over and looked at her, then gave her a surprised look, "So you are the principal of Xinxin Primary School."
At that time, I was still very puzzled. For a person of Bai Xuelan's status, it is not common for ordinary school principals to meet.The new primary school asked the head of the customs office to donate. For such a major event of planning funds, why did the principal not show up and sent a vice principal.
Of course I understand now.
It is really not suitable for a young woman like Dai Yun to go to a place like Shuyange.
Dai Yun laughed and said, "I'm ashamed, it's true that no one is willing to take this position, and I, an idler, was recommended to go there, so I should do my best."
The two sat down at the table.
The servant brought new hot tea and sweet and salty snacks.
Dai Yun asked, "Adjutant Xuan, my brother has probably told you about the situation in Xinxin Elementary School, right?"
Xuan Huaifeng felt very guilty, and said apologetically, "It's my fault. Mr. Dai told me something in Shuyange that day, and I agreed to help. Unexpectedly, when he came back, things happened one after another, and he was kept waiting. Too bad I can't live with you."
Dai Yun didn't quite believe what her brother said when she came back.
Few of the officials nowadays are good people. They talk casually, pretend to be good people, and let others hold their hopes in vain, but they forget all about it afterwards. This is common.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, there was no reply from the so-called Adjutant Xuan of the General Administration of Customs.
Dai Yun saw that Dai Min called the Bai Mansion several times, and she tried calling a few times herself, but each time she was answered by the footman, saying that Adjutant Xuan was busy, so there was a great suspicion of prevarication, and she felt that her brother had been credulous again.
It’s just that the school is really short of funds. Money is the most real thing. When needed, no strong spirit can replace it. For example, the oil tank in the dilapidated big kitchen of the elementary school is empty when it is empty. Not a single drop came out, and the fried dishes didn't have any oily smell, so the children could only eat with sad faces.
As a last resort.
Although there are negative comments on Xuan Huaifeng's behavior, after all, he can get money, and he once promised to help. Now it is said that female students want to donate, and it is often the easiest to get. Dai Yun gritted her teeth and insisted. I went to visit with a scalp, thinking that even if I had to look at the faces of those rich people and feel a little embarrassed, as long as I could get some funds for the school, that's all.
I didn't expect this trip to the Bai Mansion to be a big surprise.
Seeing Adjutant Xuan coming in from the door, Dai Yun was surprised at first.
His temperament and demeanor were actually better than what his brother said, his words were sincere, polite, and responsible, and the spring breeze was blowing.
Can't help but sigh secretly.
It seems that the new chief of customs has won a treasure. With such a good deputy, why worry about not being able to accomplish great things?
While thinking, Dai Yun secretly looked at Xuan Huaifeng.
Hearing his apology, he quickly said, "I'm really ashamed when you say that. Originally, it was very embarrassing to come to the door empty-handed and ask others for money. Even I am very ashamed. Now, as Adjutant Xuan is so enthusiastic and kind. There are really fewer and fewer people, and because you are a good person, people like me who ask for help always come to your door. I know, you will not help us." As he spoke, it seemed that there was a black hole embedded in it. Quicksilver pupils cast a quick glance at Xuan Huaifeng.
"Help education, let the country have more educated talents, this is what we should do." Xuan Huaifeng asked, "How much is your primary school short of now?"
Dai Yun thought about it, "600 yuan, is it okay?"
Xuan Huaifeng asked in surprise, "So little, what is it enough for?"
Dai Yun laughed, "It's been so long since I've been begging for donations, and it's the first time I've met someone who said I don't have enough money. This is the school's expenses for three months, teachers' salaries, some indispensable teaching tools, and a batch of inexpensive homework. Save some books and pens, there may be some left. If there is any left, add some rice, oil and salt to the school kitchen. Did my brother tell Adjutant Xuan? More than half of our elementary school are orphans, so the school I often have to take care of the meals. Now that the weather is not cold, there is no need to burn charcoal for heating, which saves a lot of expenses compared to winter. Some of the firewood used for cooking is sent by the parents of the students, and some is chopped by the teaching staff. I will also Cutting. Look at me, do I look like someone who can hold a machete?"
Open both palms to show Xuan Huaifeng.
Sure enough, there were a few cocoons on it.
The laughter is like a silver bell, very sweet.
Xuan Huaifeng respectfully said, "Miss Dai, compared to you, we men should feel ashamed."
Enthusiastically planning for her, "Three months, 600 yuan, I think it is still not enough. When the children are in elementary school and growing up, the nutrition is insufficient at this time, and it will not be able to make up for it in the future. Besides, I am hungry. How do you attend classes? Let me take it this way, calculate the money for heating charcoal fires in the winter at the end of the year, and spread it out evenly, and it will be [-] a month. If you have extra money, just buy some textbooks and reading materials, so that the children can gain some other insights. "
While speaking, while calculating casually.
"It's May now. From May to the end of the year, count as eight months, and the total is 3000 and [-] yuan."
"3000, two hundred yuan?" Dai Yun was stunned, took a breath, and said a little uneasy, "It is true that Adjutant Xuan is kind-hearted and helpful. But... such a large amount, can you really decide? I am I'm afraid that Chief Bai will have some opinions, and you will be wronged."
Xuan Huaifeng smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, just trust me. However, there is one more problem."
"what is the problem?"
"I promised to agree to the money, but I can't pay it all at once. Can I only pay it for three months today?"
Dai Yun hurriedly said, "It's enough."
"Then just wait here, and I'll fetch it for you."
Xuan Huaifeng left Dai Yun in the side hall, and went to the accounting room by himself.
The accountant surnamed Zhang was turning the abacus up and down, reconciling the accounts one by one, when he saw Xuan Huaifeng walk in suddenly, he quickly took his eyes off the bridge of his nose, stood up and said with a smile, "Yo, Adjutant Xuan, you are a rare visitor." .”
Xuan Huaifeng asked unfamiliarly, "Last time I heard from Adjutant Sun that my monthly salary does not need to be collected by the Shanghai General Administration of Customs, but can be directly drawn from the cashier here, is that okay?"
Accountant Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, not only you, but Adjutant Sun as well. Actually, I got an account from the mansion, and we will make documents later, and we still need money from the Finance Department of the General Administration of Customs. What, You want to get paid?"
Xuan Huaifeng has not received a salary since he took office.
Bai Xuelan had told him about it before, and she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but in my impression there must be four or five hundred.
He nodded and said, "It's urgent, I want to get all my salary, is that okay?"
Accountant Zhang said with a smile, "What's wrong with this? Wait a moment, I'll settle the bill for you."
Going back, he fumbled around in a tall elm cabinet with rounded corners, took out a generous account book, opened it with his fingernails and looked down, finding Xuan Huaifeng's name.
Then I used the abacus to crackle for a while to get the number, dipped the brush in ink, and wrote it down in the notebook stroke by stroke.
Then he took out the key, opened the silver cabinet, and counted out a stack of banknotes.
"Adjutant Xuan, this is your salary for the past few months."
Xuan Huaifeng looked at the stack of banknotes, at least three of them were printed with purple borders, and there were a few hundred yuan bills on top, and he was a little stunned in disbelief.
Seeing that he did not answer, Accountant Zhang asked, "Is it not enough? If not, you can just ask. According to the rules in the accountant, people in your position can advance two months' salary. If the advance amount exceeds two months' salary , um, then our accountant can’t be accurate, you have to ask the chief.”
Xuan Huaifeng came back to his senses and said, "No, it's enough."
He took the banknotes and counted them, and there were 400 yuan. He still couldn't believe it, and frowned slightly, "You didn't calculate it wrong, did you? I think the amount...wouldn't have been given to me too much?"
Accountant Zhang said with a smile, "Look at what you said! The people in our accountant have to pay for the miscalculations themselves. I dare not give you a penny more. Your salary is based on the position set by the General Administration of Customs." It was distributed, but the chief said that the New Year’s bonus will give you a supplement, three months’ salary, plus the New Year’s bonus, and some bonuses every month, the total is 400 yuan. If you don’t believe me, I can give it to you Look at the ledger." Turning around, he brought the ledger over.
Xuan Huaifeng quickly said, "No need. Since the calculation is correct, I can rest assured, thank you."
He took the banknotes and left the account room.
When he was about to reach the side hall, seeing no one around, he stood under the carved stone window and took out two hundred bills, and put the remaining 3000 two hundred bills in his pocket.
When I arrived at the side hall, I took out the money, handed it to Dai Yun earnestly, and said gently, "Principal Dai, please count, this is the fee until the end of the year. Originally, I was afraid that it would not be enough for a while, so I wanted to install it in installments." Yes, I didn’t expect things to go very smoothly.”
Dai Yun saw him go in and walk around, and handed over the money when he came back.
This is really a smooth experience that has never been encountered, not to mention the large sum of money.
A little shyly counting the money, he carefully packed it in his small bag, squeezed the soft bag tightly with his five fingers, and said in surprise and joy, "Adjutant Xuan, you really don't know how happy I am. With this money, all my troubles this year have been swept away, thanks to you."
"There's no need to say such kind words, as long as it can help Xinxin Elementary School."
"In addition, I would like to trouble you and thank President Bai for me. Recently, it has been said that this chief is very capable, and he is very aggressive in attacking Yantu. My brother and I admire such a person from the bottom of our hearts. Although we have not seen it with our own eyes, But just looking at your character, Adjutant Xuan, I can imagine a little bit of his demeanor."
Xuan Huaifeng was slightly taken aback.
Dai Yun originally asked for help from the head of the customs office, no wonder she was mistaken, thinking that it was Bai Xuelan who paid the money.
But now that I have clarified that it was my own money, I am really embarrassed and mean to be kind to others.
In fact, for donations, as long as those in need can get help, it doesn't matter who pays.
Thinking about it this way, I was relieved.
Xuan Huaifeng didn't give any explanation, just smiled, "If you have difficulties in the future, don't be embarrassed, just come here to find me. I will definitely help."
Dai Yun stared deeply at him gratefully.
The two chatted a few more school gossips, because Dai Yun was also going to teach the students, so although she was reluctant to give up, she had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.
Xuan Huaifeng personally sent her outside the gate of the mansion.
Before Dai Yun left, she said, "Adjutant Xuan, I have a wish."
Xuan Huaifeng asked, "What wish?"
"If you are free in the future, can you take time to visit the school?" Dai Yun said, "You are a character and talented person who is enough to be a role model for the students. I hope you can meet them. "
Xuan Huaifeng said happily, "Okay. I'll bother you when I'm free later."
Dai Yun said happily, "You are always welcome."
The two said goodbye happily.
Xuan Huaifeng sent Dai Yun away, turned his head, and saw a car parked in front of the mansion, with a small government flag in front, very airy, and there were people in police uniforms guarding the car, so he couldn't help asking A footman, "Who's here?"
The servant said, "That's Premier Bai's car. It just arrived. I probably heard that the chief was drinking with his wounds at night, so he came to visit him."
Xuan Huaifeng thought to himself, Prime Minister Bai knew that his cousin was messing around, so he wondered if he would scold Bai Xuelan.
In terms of the entire capital, the only one who dares to teach Bai Xuelan a lesson is probably the Prime Minister.
That's not bad either.
Bai Xuelan deserves to be scolded too.
Otherwise, it will always be lawless and willful.
He thought it was quite interesting that Bai Xuelan met her nemesis, and when he returned to the mansion, he couldn't help walking towards Bai Xuelan's bedroom.
When you get there, look up.
Sure enough, all the servants were kicked out, and there were four big men with long guns standing at the door of the bedroom. The uniforms on their bodies were a little different from the customs guards, probably the prime minister's special guards.
Xuan Huaifeng quietly walked to the window, and heard a person inside scolding Bai Xuelan angrily, "Look at you! A person who has been wounded by a gun is still showing off! Get drunk!"
"Does it look like a boss?! It's like a three-year-old child!"
"I really regret it! I called you to the capital. If I knew you were messing around, you might as well stay in Shandong and let the uncles take care of you! Then you will be at ease!"
"You also came back from studying abroad. You are a smart person. Let me calm down for a while! One day, you poke a basket, and tomorrow you offend a group of ruffians. Now it's even more embarrassing. You are ambushed and fed by guns. Xuelan, don't make trouble. You feel uncomfortable, don't you?"
It was the first time Xuan Huaifeng heard others scold Bai Xuelan so heartily.
It can be seen that Bai Xuelan is not the biggest overlord in the world.
There will always be someone who can restrain him.
A sentence of scolding came out from the red grille of the window, like a one-man show, Bai Xuelan didn't know whether it was because she was seriously injured and had no strength to refute, or because she was scolded for being honest, anyway, she didn't say a word.
Xuan Huaifeng couldn't see what was going on inside, and he didn't know what was going on with him now.
Thinking about it in his mind, he always felt that the image of being sick and weak in bed was really not suitable for Bai Xuelan.
Thinking about it.
Suddenly I heard Bai Xuelan's voice in the room, and she still said in the usual casual and understated tone, "Okay, why should I be so angry? I am the chief of customs now, and I am serving the country anyway. If I die Yes, that is to sacrifice your life for the country. When you are prime minister, isn’t it glorious to have cousins and subordinates like me?”
"Brilliant?" Prime Minister Bai became even more angry, and raised his voice again, "You are dead, how can I explain to your family? You put it lightly! You are young, and you don't take good care of yourself! Let me ask you, you With a gunshot wound on your hand, and getting drunk in the middle of the night, what is it to die for the country? I'll give you a slap in the face!"
The next round of dialogue between the two was in a similar tone.
Premier Bai scolded angrily, and Bai Xuelan occasionally added a word or two, sometimes provoking him and sometimes coaxing him.
Xuan Huaifeng was secretly surprised.
It turned out that Bai Xuelan's method was not only used on himself, even the Prime Minister was fooled by him so brazenly.
It just seemed that Prime Minister Bai doted on this cousin very much, and he also followed Bai Xuelan's tricks. Slowly, his anger subsided, and his voice was not so high.
When the two spoke calmly, their voices were no longer raised, and they could be heard faintly outside.
I don't know what Prime Minister Bai asked, and then Bai Xuelan sneered, "Is there any need to investigate? Of course it was done by those opium dealers. Little bastard, if you dare to let me Bai Xuelan black gun, you will live enough!" When I recover from my injuries, let's see how I can deal with them one by one."
Premier Bai obviously didn't expect him to answer like this, and he was upset again, "You still think the noise is not loud enough, do you? I just told you not to cause trouble, so you didn't listen at all."
He taught me a lesson again.
Bai Xuelan stopped laughing now, and said calmly, "What should I do? I won't be shot by someone, and I will be a shrinking turtle in the future, then I don't have to see people."
Xuan Huaifeng listened to the voice through the window, even if he couldn't see it, Bai Xuelan's expression at the moment floated in his mind, it must be full of sternness.
It looked very scary.
Mr. Bai and Li asked inside, "Let me ask you, is life more important than face?"
"Of course it's for saving face!"
"Crap!"
"Damn you!" Bai Xuelan suddenly exploded, everyone outside the door heard it, and their faces changed color.
I only heard Bai Xuelan yelling inside, "Is this my face alone? This is the face of all Chinese people! Didn't you see those bastards on the street outside, eating opium and tablets until their eyes turned green, walking all the way? Unstable and useless! I want to arrest them all and crush them to death one by one! Foreigners say we are sick men of East Asia, and newspapers say they are nonsense. What about treatment, people don’t need to be treated when they are sick? Strong medicine is used to cure stubborn diseases, and heavy codes are used to cure troubled times. I don’t believe that it’s not just these dogs, mothers, opium, and tablet dealers!”
Boss Bai, very angry, asked in a trembling voice, "Are you talking to me?"
Bai Xuelan was not afraid, "I tell everyone that."
"Good! Good! You have no superiors like this, it seems that you don't want to be the boss anymore."
The room was suddenly dead silent.
Xuan Huaifeng's heart skipped a beat, knowing that things were going to be bad, he didn't dare to hesitate, walked quickly to the door, and said to the guards guarding the door, "I have something urgent to see the chief."
The guards knew that Boss Bai, Li, and Boss Bai were a family.
They were not deaf, they had heard the upside-down noise inside, guessed that Xuan Huaifeng was here to save the scene, so they simply made a favor and let them go immediately.
Xuan Huaifeng knocked casually twice, and opened the door without waiting for an answer from inside.
As soon as he stepped in, he saw Bai Xuelan sitting on the sofa with a big horse, and another tall man standing, and the two faced each other silently.
No need to ask, the person standing there must be Bai Xuelan's powerful president and cousin.
"Report to the chief," Xuan Huaifeng walked over, and said to Bai Xuelan in a regular manner, "Vice President Xu of Jinghua Hospital has something urgent to talk to you about."
Bai Xuelan asked, "What's urgent?"
"He didn't make it clear. The subordinates guessed that it should be the treatment plan for the chief's current injury."
"I'm here to entertain the President..."
Bai Xuelan didn't say a word, but Boss Bai and Li interrupted unhappily, "I don't need any entertainment, so go ahead and do your work."
Turning around, he strode out the door.
A few guards who had come with him outside hurried after him.
Xuan Huaifeng turned his head and saw several figures turning around the stone gate, probably heading for the gate of the mansion.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Since Bai Xuelan came in, she kept looking at him slowly from the beginning to the end, at this moment she suddenly smiled, and asked Xuan Huaifeng, "Are you here to rescue him?"
While asking, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Xuan Huaifeng's wrist, and pulled him closer to his side.
Xuan Huaifeng didn't expect that he still had a playful smile on his face until now, and asked sullenly, "What are you saving? You are not the emperor."
Bai Xuelan said, "Anyway, thank you for your kindness."
After a pause, the conversation suddenly changed, "However, although you had good intentions, you did something bad. In fact, I was taking this opportunity to fight the Prime Minister, but you interrupted it. Tell me, how can I compensate me?" ?”
Xuan Huaifeng was taken aback for a moment, his internal organs almost shifted in anger.
This is really called a dog biting Lu Dongbin!
Xuanhuai Fengjun's face tightened, and he said coldly, "That's easy, I'll help you get the president back."
Turn around and leave.
Bai Xuelan quickly put an arm around his waist, and said flatteringly, "Don't go, don't go! I'm sick and confused, can't I talk nonsense? Why are you so angry when you are facing me? ? Oh, my wound hurts..."
With Xuan Huaifeng's back turned to him, he simply put his face on Huaifeng's back waist, moaning genuinely and falsely.
How does this look like an all-powerful customs chief?
Totally a rascal!
Xuan Huaifeng knew that his complaints were at least seven points fake, but he couldn't really leave him and leave, so he turned around, looked down at him, and said solemnly, "Chief, if you If you don’t feel well, just lie down and rest, and don’t worry so much about it.”
Bai Xuelan obeyed, "You are right, I should lie down, please help me."
Xuan Huaifeng couldn't refuse, so he could only come over and help him lie on the bed.
"Please take care of your injuries."
After Xuan Huaifeng said this, he was about to leave, but Bai Xuelan grabbed his wrist again.
He couldn't help being angry, his face showed impatience, and when he was about to speak, Bai Xuelan said first, "I'll just say one word. If you let me say it, I'll let go."
Xuan Huaifeng had no choice but to sigh, "Okay, tell me."
Bai Xuelan lay on the pillow, raised her eyes, looked at him deeply for a while, and then said in a low voice, "I will never drink alcohol again."
Xuan Huaifeng was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was referring to.
Look at the palm of my bandaged hand, the injured part seems to be painful but not painful, and it seems to be itchy but not itchy.
But in my heart, I feel happy but not happy, sad but not sad.
It's not an ordinary taste at all.
I didn't know how to answer for a while
After a while, Xuan Huaifeng said, "You have finished speaking, you can always let me go."
Bai Xuelan still held him and asked, "Do you believe me?"
Xuan Huaifeng hesitated greatly.
Of course you can't say no.
But it was more hypocritical to say the letter, as if the two had agreed on something else.
Xuan Huaifeng refused to answer, but said, "You don't have to take this matter to heart. You were already drunk last night, and I wasn't careful enough to stand firmly, otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen."
Bai Xuelan was pleasantly surprised, "Are you not angry with me?"
"No matter how stingy I am, I won't care about a drunk person."
"It's true that the prime minister can pull a boat in his stomach." Bai Xuelan was lying down, but she couldn't lie down anymore, she sat up with one hand propped on the sheet, her eyes were shining brightly, "Since the past is over, then I One thing please. When I am forced to recuperate in bed, you can find an original English novel and read it to me. Although my French is good, I have forgotten all the English I learned before. , if you meet with foreigners in the future, it will be a big embarrassment. You are the best English in the whole mansion. I don’t count on you, who do I count on? Excuse me, please excuse me.”
After some words, the peak turns.
He also abducted Xuan Huaifeng as his English teacher.
When the servant saw him coming, he quickly helped him serve a bowl of warm rice porridge with wolfberries and red dates, a plate of white chicken feet, a steamed pork meatball, and a plate of green vegetables boiled in water.
Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Is there no white porridge?"
The servant smiled and said, "White porridge is available, but you should eat this today. The master chef in the kitchen got up before dawn and made it for you. After all, it should be rewarded, right?"
Xuan Huaifeng was even more surprised, "How do you say that?"
"Adjutant Xuan, goji berries improve eyesight and red dates nourish blood." The servant pointed to the white chicken feet on the small dining table. , will leave a black mark. These days, I think you are going to be taboo."
Xuan Huaifeng couldn't help laughing, "How can there be so many rules? You are more nagging than our mother Zhang."
Slowly, he suppressed his smile again, and became suspicious, "Who named these things?"
The servant refused to answer, but only showed a smile, "No one, just a little bit of filial piety among us."
Xuan Huaifeng asked directly, "Is it the chief?"
"Ugh."
The servant uttered a word from his throat, which seemed to be affirmation, but also seemed to be a sigh. He raised his eyes, observed Xuan Huaifeng's face, slapped himself lightly, and muttered, "Useless things."
He smiled at Xuan Huaifeng again, "Adjutant Xuan, you are very capable and wise, and you guessed it right away. You must not fight with the chief. If you two fight, we will be in trouble. The chief said , I am not allowed to teach you that he has an explanation. He said that he is afraid that you will know that he ordered it, and you will be angry and refuse to eat it. If you are considerate, we will be blessed."
He smiled at him, and bowed again.
Xuan Huaifeng glanced at the table, feeling everything.
took a long sigh.
Picking up the half-warm wolfberry and red date porridge, he took a sip, frowned and said, "I'm not used to this taste, you can change me to a bowl of white porridge."
"This……"
"If you don't change, I won't be bothered to give you all this and that in the future."
The servant had to give him a bowl of white porridge instead.
Xuan Huaifeng drank more than half a bowl of white porridge with some tender rapeseed, which was more comfortable than the goji berry and red date porridge just now.
But there is always a person standing beside him, watching helplessly, it feels very strange.
"You didn't have breakfast either?" Xuan Huaifeng put down the bowl and gestured for the servants to sit down together.
"No, no, no," said the footman, waving his hands, "I've already eaten."
After standing still for a while, he tentatively asked, "Adjutant Xuan, are these pork balls... not tasty?"
"Early in the morning, it's weird to eat this."
"Try one, try the taste?"
Xuan Huaifeng realized something, thought for a while, then raised his head, "What's the point here?"
The servant grinned, looked around and said in a low voice, "The chief said, if you eat a pork ball, you will be rewarded with one yuan. If you eat a few pork balls, you will be rewarded with a few yuan. The chief will not let you know about this."
Xuan Huaifeng was taken aback, funny and angry, "Everyone in this mansion bought and sold me as if they were imported. Tell me, are you afraid that I will report to the chief?"
The servant said very reassuringly, "Zhang Rong said that Adjutant Xuan has a good heart and never puts us in trouble. I thought, why should I keep it from you? Besides, the chief is doing this for your own good, not harming you. I know what the big deal is." of?"
When Xuan Huaifeng woke up, he was thinking about how to avoid Bai Xuelan.
Judging from what happened last night, if we meet today, it will probably be very unpleasant.
Now being interrupted by the footman, and saying Bai Xuelan's name a few times, she is not as impatient as she thought.
"Okay." Xuan Huaifeng took a ball in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it slowly, and reminded, "I made a dollar for you, don't forget. By the way, your eyes are strange, you are a newcomer of?"
"Yes. The younger one's name is Fu San, and he's new to the White Mansion."
Xuan Huaifeng stood up, took a cup of tea, rinsed himself, and said with a smile, "You should do your best here. I heard that being a servant in the Bai Mansion is very expensive. If you have any news in the future, you can also talk to me, so that you can If you earn more, I will help you a little bit." After speaking, he walked out the door.
Fu San's face blossomed, and he thanked him repeatedly behind him.
After leaving the small dining room, Xuan Huaifeng stopped in the back corridor.
Where to go at this time, I am a little hesitant.
Taking the initiative to go to Bai Xuelan, she was really embarrassed, and she didn't know what to say when they met.
Moreover, God knows what good things Bai Xuelan will do if she goes crazy?
It's better to go and look at the few outlines of the customs. It was a mess a while ago, and I didn't do anything serious, and the tax reform I mentioned didn't go up or down.
While Bai Xuelan is recovering from her injuries and has no time to mess around, it's better to do something practical.
Xuan Huaifeng made up his mind, and went to his room to get the books.
After turning around for a few steps, I happened to run into the official's house and said with a smile, "Adjutant Xuan, you got up so early, I thought you were in the room, so it was almost a waste of time. Fortunately, I bumped into it."
"Are you looking for me?"
"You have a visitor who is anxious to see you."
"Oh?" Xuan Huaifeng was slightly taken aback.
He has never had any guests here.
The official said, "I thought it was too early to disturb you. But looking at him, he seemed to have something to do, and begged me a few more words. So I had to run to him to see if you woke up." , if he doesn’t wake up, I’ll tell him to go back.”
Xuan Huaifeng asked, "Who is it?"
"It's a customer surnamed Dai. In fact, I called a few times a while ago, saying that I want to see you. Because you are always uncomfortable, the chief said that no matter what happens, we can talk about it when you feel better."
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Xuan Huaifeng with an ambiguous expression.
The things about Bai Xuelan and Xuan Huaifeng were tacitly understood by everyone in the mansion, but they were strictly ordered by Bai Xuelan not to dare to bring out those deeds that would make people blush and heartbeat in front of Xuan Huaifeng.
Why is Adjutant Xuan "uncomfortable", everyone is clear in their hearts.
"Surname Dai?"
Xuan Huaifeng thought about it left and right, feeling strange.
If the surname is Lin, it is probably Qijun. They broke up unhappy yesterday. With Qijun as a person, he came to the door to express reconciliation, which was expected.
Xuan Huaifeng doesn't get along with friends with this surname very often.
It stands to reason that most of the people in the General Administration of Customs have official duties, and most of them ask to see Bai Xuelan or Adjutant Sun, so there is no reason to call him by name.
After thinking for a while, his expression suddenly changed, and he remembered Dai Min who he met on the Shuyang Pavilion.
Immediately think of those things in Dai Min's school.
How did you forget him?
It's really bad, people must be waiting anxiously, and catch up to the door.
I am ashamed.
Xuan Huaifeng hurriedly asked, "Where is that Mr. Dai?"
The housekeeper corrected, "It's not sir, it's a lady."
"What?" Xuan Huaifeng was taken aback.
I just stood there thinking, but I couldn't come up with a result anyway.
Why don't you go and have a look.
He went to the room and hurriedly changed into a coat, walked on the road, suddenly stood still, turned back and asked the housekeeper, "Did the chief drink any more last night?"
The butler shook his head and said, "Thanks to Adjutant Xuan's visit, the chief didn't drink anymore. I heard that the doctor checked him. He was also very quiet. He got an injection, took a few pills, and fell asleep."
Xuan Huaifeng felt better after hearing this.
Seeing that the door of the small side hall is in front, without further ado, I went straight to the small side hall.
Entering the small side hall, there was indeed a young lady sitting inside, with shoulder-length short hair, black and smooth, not curled up like the usual ladies and ladies, but with a youthful and clean atmosphere.
The clothes are simple, but not shabby at all, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
She was sitting drinking hot tea brought by the servant, when she saw a handsome, slender young man coming in, she put the tea bowl on the table, stood up, and smiled generously, "This must be my brother." Adjutant Xuan is often mentioned."
"you are……"
"Oh, my brother, Dai Min, is the vice-principal of Xinxin Primary School. I met Adjutant Xuan once. My name is Dai Yun." The female guest obviously also received a new-style education, and she was very open. She stretched out her hand as she spoke.
Xuan Huaifeng shook hands with her, secretly surprised.
Although Dai Yun's hands were clean and beautiful, they were a bit rough to hold, as if they had calluses.
She shook hands with Xuan Huaifeng, and took out a business card written in pen from her small bag.
Xuan Huaifeng took it over and looked at her, then gave her a surprised look, "So you are the principal of Xinxin Primary School."
At that time, I was still very puzzled. For a person of Bai Xuelan's status, it is not common for ordinary school principals to meet.The new primary school asked the head of the customs office to donate. For such a major event of planning funds, why did the principal not show up and sent a vice principal.
Of course I understand now.
It is really not suitable for a young woman like Dai Yun to go to a place like Shuyange.
Dai Yun laughed and said, "I'm ashamed, it's true that no one is willing to take this position, and I, an idler, was recommended to go there, so I should do my best."
The two sat down at the table.
The servant brought new hot tea and sweet and salty snacks.
Dai Yun asked, "Adjutant Xuan, my brother has probably told you about the situation in Xinxin Elementary School, right?"
Xuan Huaifeng felt very guilty, and said apologetically, "It's my fault. Mr. Dai told me something in Shuyange that day, and I agreed to help. Unexpectedly, when he came back, things happened one after another, and he was kept waiting. Too bad I can't live with you."
Dai Yun didn't quite believe what her brother said when she came back.
Few of the officials nowadays are good people. They talk casually, pretend to be good people, and let others hold their hopes in vain, but they forget all about it afterwards. This is common.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, there was no reply from the so-called Adjutant Xuan of the General Administration of Customs.
Dai Yun saw that Dai Min called the Bai Mansion several times, and she tried calling a few times herself, but each time she was answered by the footman, saying that Adjutant Xuan was busy, so there was a great suspicion of prevarication, and she felt that her brother had been credulous again.
It’s just that the school is really short of funds. Money is the most real thing. When needed, no strong spirit can replace it. For example, the oil tank in the dilapidated big kitchen of the elementary school is empty when it is empty. Not a single drop came out, and the fried dishes didn't have any oily smell, so the children could only eat with sad faces.
As a last resort.
Although there are negative comments on Xuan Huaifeng's behavior, after all, he can get money, and he once promised to help. Now it is said that female students want to donate, and it is often the easiest to get. Dai Yun gritted her teeth and insisted. I went to visit with a scalp, thinking that even if I had to look at the faces of those rich people and feel a little embarrassed, as long as I could get some funds for the school, that's all.
I didn't expect this trip to the Bai Mansion to be a big surprise.
Seeing Adjutant Xuan coming in from the door, Dai Yun was surprised at first.
His temperament and demeanor were actually better than what his brother said, his words were sincere, polite, and responsible, and the spring breeze was blowing.
Can't help but sigh secretly.
It seems that the new chief of customs has won a treasure. With such a good deputy, why worry about not being able to accomplish great things?
While thinking, Dai Yun secretly looked at Xuan Huaifeng.
Hearing his apology, he quickly said, "I'm really ashamed when you say that. Originally, it was very embarrassing to come to the door empty-handed and ask others for money. Even I am very ashamed. Now, as Adjutant Xuan is so enthusiastic and kind. There are really fewer and fewer people, and because you are a good person, people like me who ask for help always come to your door. I know, you will not help us." As he spoke, it seemed that there was a black hole embedded in it. Quicksilver pupils cast a quick glance at Xuan Huaifeng.
"Help education, let the country have more educated talents, this is what we should do." Xuan Huaifeng asked, "How much is your primary school short of now?"
Dai Yun thought about it, "600 yuan, is it okay?"
Xuan Huaifeng asked in surprise, "So little, what is it enough for?"
Dai Yun laughed, "It's been so long since I've been begging for donations, and it's the first time I've met someone who said I don't have enough money. This is the school's expenses for three months, teachers' salaries, some indispensable teaching tools, and a batch of inexpensive homework. Save some books and pens, there may be some left. If there is any left, add some rice, oil and salt to the school kitchen. Did my brother tell Adjutant Xuan? More than half of our elementary school are orphans, so the school I often have to take care of the meals. Now that the weather is not cold, there is no need to burn charcoal for heating, which saves a lot of expenses compared to winter. Some of the firewood used for cooking is sent by the parents of the students, and some is chopped by the teaching staff. I will also Cutting. Look at me, do I look like someone who can hold a machete?"
Open both palms to show Xuan Huaifeng.
Sure enough, there were a few cocoons on it.
The laughter is like a silver bell, very sweet.
Xuan Huaifeng respectfully said, "Miss Dai, compared to you, we men should feel ashamed."
Enthusiastically planning for her, "Three months, 600 yuan, I think it is still not enough. When the children are in elementary school and growing up, the nutrition is insufficient at this time, and it will not be able to make up for it in the future. Besides, I am hungry. How do you attend classes? Let me take it this way, calculate the money for heating charcoal fires in the winter at the end of the year, and spread it out evenly, and it will be [-] a month. If you have extra money, just buy some textbooks and reading materials, so that the children can gain some other insights. "
While speaking, while calculating casually.
"It's May now. From May to the end of the year, count as eight months, and the total is 3000 and [-] yuan."
"3000, two hundred yuan?" Dai Yun was stunned, took a breath, and said a little uneasy, "It is true that Adjutant Xuan is kind-hearted and helpful. But... such a large amount, can you really decide? I am I'm afraid that Chief Bai will have some opinions, and you will be wronged."
Xuan Huaifeng smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, just trust me. However, there is one more problem."
"what is the problem?"
"I promised to agree to the money, but I can't pay it all at once. Can I only pay it for three months today?"
Dai Yun hurriedly said, "It's enough."
"Then just wait here, and I'll fetch it for you."
Xuan Huaifeng left Dai Yun in the side hall, and went to the accounting room by himself.
The accountant surnamed Zhang was turning the abacus up and down, reconciling the accounts one by one, when he saw Xuan Huaifeng walk in suddenly, he quickly took his eyes off the bridge of his nose, stood up and said with a smile, "Yo, Adjutant Xuan, you are a rare visitor." .”
Xuan Huaifeng asked unfamiliarly, "Last time I heard from Adjutant Sun that my monthly salary does not need to be collected by the Shanghai General Administration of Customs, but can be directly drawn from the cashier here, is that okay?"
Accountant Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, not only you, but Adjutant Sun as well. Actually, I got an account from the mansion, and we will make documents later, and we still need money from the Finance Department of the General Administration of Customs. What, You want to get paid?"
Xuan Huaifeng has not received a salary since he took office.
Bai Xuelan had told him about it before, and she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but in my impression there must be four or five hundred.
He nodded and said, "It's urgent, I want to get all my salary, is that okay?"
Accountant Zhang said with a smile, "What's wrong with this? Wait a moment, I'll settle the bill for you."
Going back, he fumbled around in a tall elm cabinet with rounded corners, took out a generous account book, opened it with his fingernails and looked down, finding Xuan Huaifeng's name.
Then I used the abacus to crackle for a while to get the number, dipped the brush in ink, and wrote it down in the notebook stroke by stroke.
Then he took out the key, opened the silver cabinet, and counted out a stack of banknotes.
"Adjutant Xuan, this is your salary for the past few months."
Xuan Huaifeng looked at the stack of banknotes, at least three of them were printed with purple borders, and there were a few hundred yuan bills on top, and he was a little stunned in disbelief.
Seeing that he did not answer, Accountant Zhang asked, "Is it not enough? If not, you can just ask. According to the rules in the accountant, people in your position can advance two months' salary. If the advance amount exceeds two months' salary , um, then our accountant can’t be accurate, you have to ask the chief.”
Xuan Huaifeng came back to his senses and said, "No, it's enough."
He took the banknotes and counted them, and there were 400 yuan. He still couldn't believe it, and frowned slightly, "You didn't calculate it wrong, did you? I think the amount...wouldn't have been given to me too much?"
Accountant Zhang said with a smile, "Look at what you said! The people in our accountant have to pay for the miscalculations themselves. I dare not give you a penny more. Your salary is based on the position set by the General Administration of Customs." It was distributed, but the chief said that the New Year’s bonus will give you a supplement, three months’ salary, plus the New Year’s bonus, and some bonuses every month, the total is 400 yuan. If you don’t believe me, I can give it to you Look at the ledger." Turning around, he brought the ledger over.
Xuan Huaifeng quickly said, "No need. Since the calculation is correct, I can rest assured, thank you."
He took the banknotes and left the account room.
When he was about to reach the side hall, seeing no one around, he stood under the carved stone window and took out two hundred bills, and put the remaining 3000 two hundred bills in his pocket.
When I arrived at the side hall, I took out the money, handed it to Dai Yun earnestly, and said gently, "Principal Dai, please count, this is the fee until the end of the year. Originally, I was afraid that it would not be enough for a while, so I wanted to install it in installments." Yes, I didn’t expect things to go very smoothly.”
Dai Yun saw him go in and walk around, and handed over the money when he came back.
This is really a smooth experience that has never been encountered, not to mention the large sum of money.
A little shyly counting the money, he carefully packed it in his small bag, squeezed the soft bag tightly with his five fingers, and said in surprise and joy, "Adjutant Xuan, you really don't know how happy I am. With this money, all my troubles this year have been swept away, thanks to you."
"There's no need to say such kind words, as long as it can help Xinxin Elementary School."
"In addition, I would like to trouble you and thank President Bai for me. Recently, it has been said that this chief is very capable, and he is very aggressive in attacking Yantu. My brother and I admire such a person from the bottom of our hearts. Although we have not seen it with our own eyes, But just looking at your character, Adjutant Xuan, I can imagine a little bit of his demeanor."
Xuan Huaifeng was slightly taken aback.
Dai Yun originally asked for help from the head of the customs office, no wonder she was mistaken, thinking that it was Bai Xuelan who paid the money.
But now that I have clarified that it was my own money, I am really embarrassed and mean to be kind to others.
In fact, for donations, as long as those in need can get help, it doesn't matter who pays.
Thinking about it this way, I was relieved.
Xuan Huaifeng didn't give any explanation, just smiled, "If you have difficulties in the future, don't be embarrassed, just come here to find me. I will definitely help."
Dai Yun stared deeply at him gratefully.
The two chatted a few more school gossips, because Dai Yun was also going to teach the students, so although she was reluctant to give up, she had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye.
Xuan Huaifeng personally sent her outside the gate of the mansion.
Before Dai Yun left, she said, "Adjutant Xuan, I have a wish."
Xuan Huaifeng asked, "What wish?"
"If you are free in the future, can you take time to visit the school?" Dai Yun said, "You are a character and talented person who is enough to be a role model for the students. I hope you can meet them. "
Xuan Huaifeng said happily, "Okay. I'll bother you when I'm free later."
Dai Yun said happily, "You are always welcome."
The two said goodbye happily.
Xuan Huaifeng sent Dai Yun away, turned his head, and saw a car parked in front of the mansion, with a small government flag in front, very airy, and there were people in police uniforms guarding the car, so he couldn't help asking A footman, "Who's here?"
The servant said, "That's Premier Bai's car. It just arrived. I probably heard that the chief was drinking with his wounds at night, so he came to visit him."
Xuan Huaifeng thought to himself, Prime Minister Bai knew that his cousin was messing around, so he wondered if he would scold Bai Xuelan.
In terms of the entire capital, the only one who dares to teach Bai Xuelan a lesson is probably the Prime Minister.
That's not bad either.
Bai Xuelan deserves to be scolded too.
Otherwise, it will always be lawless and willful.
He thought it was quite interesting that Bai Xuelan met her nemesis, and when he returned to the mansion, he couldn't help walking towards Bai Xuelan's bedroom.
When you get there, look up.
Sure enough, all the servants were kicked out, and there were four big men with long guns standing at the door of the bedroom. The uniforms on their bodies were a little different from the customs guards, probably the prime minister's special guards.
Xuan Huaifeng quietly walked to the window, and heard a person inside scolding Bai Xuelan angrily, "Look at you! A person who has been wounded by a gun is still showing off! Get drunk!"
"Does it look like a boss?! It's like a three-year-old child!"
"I really regret it! I called you to the capital. If I knew you were messing around, you might as well stay in Shandong and let the uncles take care of you! Then you will be at ease!"
"You also came back from studying abroad. You are a smart person. Let me calm down for a while! One day, you poke a basket, and tomorrow you offend a group of ruffians. Now it's even more embarrassing. You are ambushed and fed by guns. Xuelan, don't make trouble. You feel uncomfortable, don't you?"
It was the first time Xuan Huaifeng heard others scold Bai Xuelan so heartily.
It can be seen that Bai Xuelan is not the biggest overlord in the world.
There will always be someone who can restrain him.
A sentence of scolding came out from the red grille of the window, like a one-man show, Bai Xuelan didn't know whether it was because she was seriously injured and had no strength to refute, or because she was scolded for being honest, anyway, she didn't say a word.
Xuan Huaifeng couldn't see what was going on inside, and he didn't know what was going on with him now.
Thinking about it in his mind, he always felt that the image of being sick and weak in bed was really not suitable for Bai Xuelan.
Thinking about it.
Suddenly I heard Bai Xuelan's voice in the room, and she still said in the usual casual and understated tone, "Okay, why should I be so angry? I am the chief of customs now, and I am serving the country anyway. If I die Yes, that is to sacrifice your life for the country. When you are prime minister, isn’t it glorious to have cousins and subordinates like me?”
"Brilliant?" Prime Minister Bai became even more angry, and raised his voice again, "You are dead, how can I explain to your family? You put it lightly! You are young, and you don't take good care of yourself! Let me ask you, you With a gunshot wound on your hand, and getting drunk in the middle of the night, what is it to die for the country? I'll give you a slap in the face!"
The next round of dialogue between the two was in a similar tone.
Premier Bai scolded angrily, and Bai Xuelan occasionally added a word or two, sometimes provoking him and sometimes coaxing him.
Xuan Huaifeng was secretly surprised.
It turned out that Bai Xuelan's method was not only used on himself, even the Prime Minister was fooled by him so brazenly.
It just seemed that Prime Minister Bai doted on this cousin very much, and he also followed Bai Xuelan's tricks. Slowly, his anger subsided, and his voice was not so high.
When the two spoke calmly, their voices were no longer raised, and they could be heard faintly outside.
I don't know what Prime Minister Bai asked, and then Bai Xuelan sneered, "Is there any need to investigate? Of course it was done by those opium dealers. Little bastard, if you dare to let me Bai Xuelan black gun, you will live enough!" When I recover from my injuries, let's see how I can deal with them one by one."
Premier Bai obviously didn't expect him to answer like this, and he was upset again, "You still think the noise is not loud enough, do you? I just told you not to cause trouble, so you didn't listen at all."
He taught me a lesson again.
Bai Xuelan stopped laughing now, and said calmly, "What should I do? I won't be shot by someone, and I will be a shrinking turtle in the future, then I don't have to see people."
Xuan Huaifeng listened to the voice through the window, even if he couldn't see it, Bai Xuelan's expression at the moment floated in his mind, it must be full of sternness.
It looked very scary.
Mr. Bai and Li asked inside, "Let me ask you, is life more important than face?"
"Of course it's for saving face!"
"Crap!"
"Damn you!" Bai Xuelan suddenly exploded, everyone outside the door heard it, and their faces changed color.
I only heard Bai Xuelan yelling inside, "Is this my face alone? This is the face of all Chinese people! Didn't you see those bastards on the street outside, eating opium and tablets until their eyes turned green, walking all the way? Unstable and useless! I want to arrest them all and crush them to death one by one! Foreigners say we are sick men of East Asia, and newspapers say they are nonsense. What about treatment, people don’t need to be treated when they are sick? Strong medicine is used to cure stubborn diseases, and heavy codes are used to cure troubled times. I don’t believe that it’s not just these dogs, mothers, opium, and tablet dealers!”
Boss Bai, very angry, asked in a trembling voice, "Are you talking to me?"
Bai Xuelan was not afraid, "I tell everyone that."
"Good! Good! You have no superiors like this, it seems that you don't want to be the boss anymore."
The room was suddenly dead silent.
Xuan Huaifeng's heart skipped a beat, knowing that things were going to be bad, he didn't dare to hesitate, walked quickly to the door, and said to the guards guarding the door, "I have something urgent to see the chief."
The guards knew that Boss Bai, Li, and Boss Bai were a family.
They were not deaf, they had heard the upside-down noise inside, guessed that Xuan Huaifeng was here to save the scene, so they simply made a favor and let them go immediately.
Xuan Huaifeng knocked casually twice, and opened the door without waiting for an answer from inside.
As soon as he stepped in, he saw Bai Xuelan sitting on the sofa with a big horse, and another tall man standing, and the two faced each other silently.
No need to ask, the person standing there must be Bai Xuelan's powerful president and cousin.
"Report to the chief," Xuan Huaifeng walked over, and said to Bai Xuelan in a regular manner, "Vice President Xu of Jinghua Hospital has something urgent to talk to you about."
Bai Xuelan asked, "What's urgent?"
"He didn't make it clear. The subordinates guessed that it should be the treatment plan for the chief's current injury."
"I'm here to entertain the President..."
Bai Xuelan didn't say a word, but Boss Bai and Li interrupted unhappily, "I don't need any entertainment, so go ahead and do your work."
Turning around, he strode out the door.
A few guards who had come with him outside hurried after him.
Xuan Huaifeng turned his head and saw several figures turning around the stone gate, probably heading for the gate of the mansion.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Since Bai Xuelan came in, she kept looking at him slowly from the beginning to the end, at this moment she suddenly smiled, and asked Xuan Huaifeng, "Are you here to rescue him?"
While asking, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Xuan Huaifeng's wrist, and pulled him closer to his side.
Xuan Huaifeng didn't expect that he still had a playful smile on his face until now, and asked sullenly, "What are you saving? You are not the emperor."
Bai Xuelan said, "Anyway, thank you for your kindness."
After a pause, the conversation suddenly changed, "However, although you had good intentions, you did something bad. In fact, I was taking this opportunity to fight the Prime Minister, but you interrupted it. Tell me, how can I compensate me?" ?”
Xuan Huaifeng was taken aback for a moment, his internal organs almost shifted in anger.
This is really called a dog biting Lu Dongbin!
Xuanhuai Fengjun's face tightened, and he said coldly, "That's easy, I'll help you get the president back."
Turn around and leave.
Bai Xuelan quickly put an arm around his waist, and said flatteringly, "Don't go, don't go! I'm sick and confused, can't I talk nonsense? Why are you so angry when you are facing me? ? Oh, my wound hurts..."
With Xuan Huaifeng's back turned to him, he simply put his face on Huaifeng's back waist, moaning genuinely and falsely.
How does this look like an all-powerful customs chief?
Totally a rascal!
Xuan Huaifeng knew that his complaints were at least seven points fake, but he couldn't really leave him and leave, so he turned around, looked down at him, and said solemnly, "Chief, if you If you don’t feel well, just lie down and rest, and don’t worry so much about it.”
Bai Xuelan obeyed, "You are right, I should lie down, please help me."
Xuan Huaifeng couldn't refuse, so he could only come over and help him lie on the bed.
"Please take care of your injuries."
After Xuan Huaifeng said this, he was about to leave, but Bai Xuelan grabbed his wrist again.
He couldn't help being angry, his face showed impatience, and when he was about to speak, Bai Xuelan said first, "I'll just say one word. If you let me say it, I'll let go."
Xuan Huaifeng had no choice but to sigh, "Okay, tell me."
Bai Xuelan lay on the pillow, raised her eyes, looked at him deeply for a while, and then said in a low voice, "I will never drink alcohol again."
Xuan Huaifeng was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was referring to.
Look at the palm of my bandaged hand, the injured part seems to be painful but not painful, and it seems to be itchy but not itchy.
But in my heart, I feel happy but not happy, sad but not sad.
It's not an ordinary taste at all.
I didn't know how to answer for a while
After a while, Xuan Huaifeng said, "You have finished speaking, you can always let me go."
Bai Xuelan still held him and asked, "Do you believe me?"
Xuan Huaifeng hesitated greatly.
Of course you can't say no.
But it was more hypocritical to say the letter, as if the two had agreed on something else.
Xuan Huaifeng refused to answer, but said, "You don't have to take this matter to heart. You were already drunk last night, and I wasn't careful enough to stand firmly, otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen."
Bai Xuelan was pleasantly surprised, "Are you not angry with me?"
"No matter how stingy I am, I won't care about a drunk person."
"It's true that the prime minister can pull a boat in his stomach." Bai Xuelan was lying down, but she couldn't lie down anymore, she sat up with one hand propped on the sheet, her eyes were shining brightly, "Since the past is over, then I One thing please. When I am forced to recuperate in bed, you can find an original English novel and read it to me. Although my French is good, I have forgotten all the English I learned before. , if you meet with foreigners in the future, it will be a big embarrassment. You are the best English in the whole mansion. I don’t count on you, who do I count on? Excuse me, please excuse me.”
After some words, the peak turns.
He also abducted Xuan Huaifeng as his English teacher.
