Jin Yu Dynasty

From that day on, Xuan Huaifeng accompanied Bai Xuelan to recover from his injuries.

He is elegant and handsome, but he has been a bit infatuated since he was a child. He feels that eating the king's salary and sharing the king's worries, since he is doing things for others, he should be serious, sincere and sincere, and he can only treat the world, the sun and the moon with his heart.

Even if you are facing such a scoundrel as Bai Xuelan, you should stick to your principles.

So these days when Bai Xuelan was recuperating, Xuan Huaifeng was really down-to-earth, sitting in the room every day, reading original English novels with him for two or three hours.

Bai Xuelan was afraid that he would work too hard and hurt his throat, so she asked him to stop every two minutes, and gathered around the round table to drink some hot tea. Xuan Huaifeng often used this to explain the grammatical structure in English to Bai Xuelan. Lan laughed and called him "Master Xuan".

Occasionally, the two also chatted about customs affairs, and gradually they had a common topic.

Especially in the matter of banning opium, there is a lot to talk about.

Xuan Huaifeng was astonished, and secretly said that things in life are unpredictable.

He never thought that he could have a similar conversation with Bai Xuelan.

Later, Xuan Huaifeng agreed to Bai Xuelan, and he didn't go to the small dining hall to eat the three meals, so he brought them to Bai Xuelan's room, and the two sat together to eat.

Bai Xuelan also has the same problem. She has been pampered by her family since she was a child, and she is lawless. She is the most willful and bold person, and she will follow his preferences in everything. Once his heart is satisfied, everything is good.

He saw that Xuan Huaifeng was gentle with him, so of course he did what he wanted, so he tried his best to use all his strength, although he was gentle and kind, meticulous and considerate, even if he couldn't help showing his true nature occasionally, and made fun of him, seeing Xuan Huaifeng His expression was not right, and he immediately changed his tone.

Trying my best, after a few days, I raised my friendship with Xuan Huaifeng's colleagues to a whole new level.

Although Xuan Huaifeng didn't throw himself into his arms, he didn't run away as if seeing a plague god when he saw him like before.

Bai Xuelan was very satisfied with this, her mood improved, and her wound healed quickly. After a few days, she refused to lie on the bed again, and Xuan Huaifeng was so entangled by him that she had no choice but to wander around the mansion with him.

Fortunately, this mansion was originally converted from a great palace in the Qing Dynasty, with rockery and flowing water, curved bridges and quiet paths, it is worth strolling and admiring.

The two of them strolled around for a while that day. They were discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the asymmetry of Qing Dynasty architecture and the symmetry of foreign architecture under the back corridor. Do a routine re-examination of the chief's wound. Also, the bandage on Adjutant Xuan's palm should also be removed."

Xuan Huaifeng breathed a sigh of relief, "It should have been removed a long time ago, and it's not a serious injury. It's very inconvenient to be entangled with these annoying things all the time."

Bai Xuelan said, "You keep telling me to be careful of my wounds, be careful of my wounds, why are you so sloppy with your own wounds?"

Xuan Huaifeng retorted, "How can wounds from bullets be compared to wounds from glass?"

The two talked back and forth, and they arrived at the door of the room.

Dr. Xu and his assistants were already waiting inside, and when they saw them, they all stood up and said hello.

Bai Xuelan refused to allow them to check for herself first, pointing to Xuan Huaifeng and said, "Let Adjutant Xuan take a look at the wounds on his hands first, be careful, don't leave any scars."

Xuan Huaifeng wanted to decline, but Bai Xuelan involuntarily pushed it to the doctor.

Xuan Huaifeng had no choice but to sit down and honestly stretch out his hand.

When untying the gauze, Bai Xuelan stood behind him and looked at him, her gaze made Xuan Huaifeng's palms numb.

Vice President Xu walked around the White Mansion frequently, and knew a little about the importance of Xuan Huaifeng. He moved very carefully, removed the gauze, looked at the wound, and announced the good news with a smile, "It's recovered very well. When the scab falls off naturally, there should be no scar left.”

Xuan Huaifeng looked at it by himself, and it was indeed much better. There were hard scabs on the place where the cut was made before, and it must have been carefully bandaged all the time, and the color of the scabs was very light.

Vice President Xu reminded him to pay attention to his diet and not to scratch when itches, and left two sticks of ointment for Xuan Huaifeng, "Rub some in the morning and evening, and it will be fine soon."

Xuan Huaifeng agreed casually.

But Bai Xuelan was very careful. She picked up the ointment and took a look at it. She also took out the small instruction note inside, browsed it like an expert, and expressed her opinion, "You don't need this. We have the products for treating scars and scars ourselves. .”

Of course, Vice President Xu didn't argue with the chief of the customs office, and nodded in agreement, "That's right, is there anything good in the chief's house? As for the medicine for reducing decay and strengthening muscles, it has always been said that there are secret recipes hidden in the palace of the Qing Dynasty. Know if it's true."

Bai Xuelan scolded with a smile, "You old man, you're a thief, how do you know that I hide the holy medicine of the Qing Palace in my hand? It took me a little effort to get that thing."

After talking and laughing, the next step is to check the arm with the gunshot wound.

At times like this, Bai Xuelan insisted on rushing Xuan Huaifeng out, saying, "It's blood and medicine, it's dirty, wait a while and see if you're going to vomit. Besides, I'm not used to being stared at the wound like this , a hole covered in blood, it’s ugly to death.”

Xuan Huaifeng didn't want to insist on staying, and was respectfully invited to the next room by the housekeeper.

After waiting for about half an hour, the inspection over there was over.

The housekeeper came again and asked Xuan Huaifeng to go over.

Xuan Huaifeng entered the room, the doctor had already left, leaving Bai Xuelan lying on the bed alone, the wound was bandaged again, very energetic.

Seeing him coming, Bai Xuelan beckoned him to come closer.

Xuan Huaifeng walked over and asked him, "What did the doctor say? Has the wound healed?"

"Everything is fine." Bai Xuelan waited for him to get closer, grabbed his wrist again, and said softly, "Let me see your hand."

"Nothing to see."

"Let me see, I'm dying of distress."

Xuan Huaifeng was moved by what he said, and was a little dazed for a moment. After thinking about it, he loosened his five-fingered fist, and let him take it under his eyes to look at his palm.

Bai Xuelan looked at the right hand, and then asked for the left hand.

Each hand watched for five or six minutes.

He didn't hide it either, the sadness and sadness were all written on his face.

Xuan Huaifeng felt embarrassed and advised him, "It's not a serious injury, so why take it to heart."

Bai Xuelan reluctantly listened to it, and then let go of his hand, and took out a very beautiful jade box from under the pillow. It was very small, and the round jade box lid was only as big as the price of a thumb.

"It is said that this is the medicine used by the empresses and concubines in the Qing Palace, even the Lafayette Cixi. If you rub it on the wound, it won't leave any traces. Sit down and I'll rub it on for you."

Xuan Huaifeng was never very willing to sit beside Bai Xuelan's bed.

But just now he was so sad, if he refused, he might suspect that he was still holding grudges for this matter, and it would appear that he was too petty.

Xuan Huaifeng sat down beside his bed.

Bai Xuelan asked him to open both palms, with the palms facing upwards, relying on the unbandaged hand, she unscrewed the lid of the box with one hand, revealing the crystal clear ointment inside.

I don't know what the ointment was made of, but when the lid was opened, the scent was tangy, and one couldn't help but feel a little smoky.

Bai Xuelan hooked a little bit with her nails, and spread it on Xuan Huaifeng's palm, carefully kneading it with her fingertips bit by bit.

Xuan Huaifeng originally thought that he might get a scab, but it turned out that there was no such thing. This man's movements are as light as a feather, and the pain is absolutely not painful, but the palm is a very sensitive place, so gently rubbing like this, if there is any pain Nowhere to itch, but more difficult to calm down.

He felt his wrist tremble a little, and couldn't help shrinking back, but Bai Xuelan grabbed him quickly, glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? I'm rubbing medicine on you. If you are disobedient, you will have to When I'm recuperating, I won't listen to you anymore."

While speaking, while moving the body on the bed, the whole person came closer.

Xuan Huaifeng approached him, his forehead almost touching his forehead.

The face was hot, and it was Bai Xuelan's familiar breath.

Xuan Huaifeng thought over and over again, he must hold on, don't show timidity, but this body seems to have long recalled the unbearable entanglements in the past, and all of them reacted automatically, it should be red, it should be hot, and the heart is pounding Thumping, jumping so wildly that Xuan Huaifeng was at a loss.

In just a few minutes, it seems like decades.

He couldn't stand it any longer, and wanted to withdraw his hand embarrassingly.

How could Bai Xuelan let him shrink back, she closed her palms together, and held down a few slender and fair fingers of his.

Xuan Huaifeng asked, "What are you doing?"

His liver and gallbladder trembled for no reason, and he couldn't raise his fighting spirit.

very light.

The sound was as if stained with ancient ink, just a drop, dripping into the gap in the tiny space between the two.

In an instant, it disappeared without a trace.

"Huaifeng, Xuanhuaifeng..." Bai Xuelan put his name on her lips, said it several times, and sighed, "Don't let me worry about it. In the end, it will all be melted away by a gust of wind, leaving only The next word?"

Xuan Huaifeng felt a pain in his chest, hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't be able to be an adjutant."

Bai Xuelan was originally looking at him tenderly, but suddenly her eyes turned sharp.

As if wishing to use his gaze to pierce two transparent holes out of the heartless person in front of him.

The room was suddenly chilly and dead silent.

After a while, Bai Xuelan twisted her neck reluctantly, and looked away from Xuan Huaifeng's face.

Xuan Huaifeng pulled his hand again, but he didn't stop it forcefully, and let go of his palm.

Xuan Huaifeng took the opportunity to stand up from the bed. According to his usual practice, he should leave the room right away, but seeing Bai Xuelan silently, just looking away from the window, he felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't make up his mind to leave .

He hesitated for a moment, but sat down again, and sighed, "You have such a weird temper, I really don't know how to deal with you."

Bai Xuelan thought that he would run away, but he didn't expect him to stay. The heart that was excruciatingly painful just now suddenly became warm again.

It is God's good fortune that a person can influence another person's state of mind in this way.

Bai Xuelan also let out a long sigh, and turned around, "I have offended so many people with my bad temper. Why don't I understand that for the rest of my life, I have many grievances and few ties, and one day I will do my own crimes and I will not live .”

Xuan Huaifeng's face changed slightly, and he stopped him from saying, "It's common for injured people to feel depressed. Why do you say such depressing words?"

"This is the truth. The world of mortals walked once, but if you have wine today, you will be drunk today." Bai Xuelan ignored it and continued, "Our Bai family, the ancestors were villains, and the descendants turned around and pulled a gang of soldiers to rob When I get to the territory, I become a warlord. Unlike you, I have a mother from a family background, who inherits a scholarly and noble air. The domineering in me is passed down from my ancestors. You can't understand it and hate me being bossy. I understand Very good. It’s nothing, we’re just exhausted like this. It’s okay, as long as I’m in power, I’ll keep you for a day; as long as you stay with me, I’ll be happy for a day. When I lose, I can’t stop you, just go ahead go with someone else."

Speaking of the latter, I really touched the heart without knowing it.

There was a stubborn sneer on his face, but a tear couldn't be hidden, and it was trembling in the corner of his eye.

The eyelids flickered and fell down in shock.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Huaifeng felt as if someone had cut a big hole in his heart, feeling numb in pain.

Subconsciously, she stretched out her hand, wanting to wipe Bai Xuelan's tears, but when she got to him, she realized that she didn't even have a handkerchief, so it seemed inappropriate to touch his cheek directly.

The fingertips stopped in mid-air.

Bai Xuelan just bowed her head.

On the well-proportioned and beautiful nails, like a dragonfly on the water, very piously, lightly kissed.

Like something, just poured on the little fingertips.

Light as a feather, but as heavy as Mount Tai.

Xuan Huaifeng suddenly fell into a trance, dazed for a few seconds, took a long breath, and then retracted the hand that seemed to no longer belong to him.

"you……"

As soon as he said a word, there was a knock on the door.

The two people who were immersed in this moment were completely awakened.

"Who?"

"Reporting to the chief, Mrs. Nian is here and said she wants to see Adjutant Xuan."

Xuan Huaifeng was just waking up from a dream, sorting out the ups and downs of emotions, when suddenly he heard his sister came, his heartbeat became even more chaotic.

Can't help but look at Bai Xuelan.

Bai Xuelan pondered for a moment, "She probably misses you. Hurry up and sit with her. If she is happy, you can have her dinner in the mansion."

Xuan Huaifeng agreed, afraid that his sister would wait, so he hurried to go.

Xuan Huaifeng came out from Bai Xuelan and went straight to the flower hall.

When I got outside the door, I heard a man talking inside, so I couldn't help but stop by the door.

"...Duo has taken care of you, it's time to go to the house to say hello."

A woman inside immediately smiled and said, "I don't dare to accept the words of your kindness. However, I have been fascinated by listening to operas these days, and I really want to ask you to tell me about operas. It would be great if you agree."

It was his sister's voice.

Xuan Huaifeng walked in curiously, and saw that Xuan Daiyun was sitting at the small round table, writing something with his head down, and it was Bai Yunfei who was chatting with her in another chair.

Bai Yunfei was very cautious. When he arrived at the mansion of the chief of customs, he was extremely polite everywhere. When he saw Xuan Huaifeng, he immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Adjutant Xuan, excuse me."

He was dressed in a green serge robe.

This color is not easy for ordinary people to look good in, but he has a fair complexion and a tall figure, so he looks more slender and delicate in this outfit.

The tone and demeanor of the greeting also revealed a kind of elegance and elegance that ordinary people can't match.

Bai Xuelan said that he is a descendant of nobles, but it really looks like that.

When Xuan Huaifeng saw him, he couldn't help thinking of those gossips Bai Xuelan had said. He didn't know what it was like, so he couldn't help but glance at his wrist, but Bai Yunfei lowered his hand, and covered his wrist with his wide-mouthed and long sleeves. Can't see either.

He had no choice but to smile slightly at Bai Yunfei, "Boss Bai, it's rare for you to come to the door. If you are far away, please sit down."

Make a gesture and invite Bai Yunfei to sit down.

I called my sister again.

Xuan Daiyun was writing something on the paper with a pen in his hand, and only lowered his head in response.

Seeing that she was busy, Xuan Huaifeng first sat down and exchanged greetings with Bai Yunfei.

He also asked the servant to bring hot tea and snacks.

After chatting for a while, Xuan Daiyun had finished the work. He wrote Nianzhai's phone number and address on a piece of fragrant letterhead, handed it to Bai Yunfei with a smile, and said, "If you agreed to play with me, don't make excuses." Don’t come, let me be happy for nothing.”

Bai Yunfei quickly clasped his hands together, "Well, it's Mrs. Nian's favor, there is absolutely no reason to refuse."

Xuan Daiyun treated him very kindly, and said a few more polite words to him, then turned around and said to Xuan Huaifeng, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why don't you visit me?"

Xuan Huaifeng said, "I have a lot of things to do recently and I don't have time. I'll go there after a few days when I'm free." After taking a look at Xuan Daiyun and Bai Yunfei, he couldn't help asking, "By the way, why did you come here together?"

"We just ran into each other." Xuan Daiyun flicked his nails painted with peony red on the ribbon-colored jacket, and his eyes flicked from Bai Yunfei who was sitting upright, "When the car drove to the gate of the mansion, I saw Boss Bai I also got out of the rickshaw. Tell me, isn’t it a coincidence?”

Obviously very happy to have this chance encounter with Bai Yunfei.

Xuan Huaifeng knew that his sister was obsessed with Bai Yunfei's drama, but it was his sister's freedom to watch it cutely, so he couldn't interfere at all, so he turned his gaze back to Bai Yunfei and said, "I haven't asked Boss Bai why he's here yet."

Bai Yunfei said generously, "Come here today, first to say hello to President Bai. I often have him support me, but I haven't seen you these days. I heard that I'm not feeling well. Come over to say hello."

About being ambushed and shot, Bai Xuelan ordered the outside to block the news because she didn't want to cause a storm in the city.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. In the past few days, it is not surprising that some gossip has spread.

Xuan Huaifeng said lightly, "The chief just approved the official documents until late at night, and he felt a little cold. After a few days of rest, he will be fine."

Bai Yunfei felt a little relieved and said, "It turned out to be a cold, so I feel relieved." Then he asked, "Can I see the chief?"

Xuan Huaifeng knew that because Bai Xuelan was wearing a bandage, she hardly saw outsiders, so she declined, "Next time."

Bai Yunfei is a person who knows everything, so he stopped asking for a meeting immediately. After thinking about it, he said to Xuan Huaifeng, "There is one more thing. I will publish a new book in Tianyinyuan in the day after tomorrow, singing "Pear Blossom Soul" ". I don't know if Chief Bai and Adjutant Xuan are free, so let's go and listen?"

Only then did Xuan Huaifeng realize that he was here to find someone to cheer him on.

As long as you are an actor, who doesn't want to find a few rich people to support it, and every time a new play is released, several important guests have to say hello everywhere, which is also common sense.

But with Bai Yunfei's talent, it was difficult for him to be regarded as an ordinary actor, so he was a little surprised.

Xuan Huaifeng sighed inwardly, but felt a little sympathetic towards Bai Yunfei, and said kindly, "The chief is still recuperating, I can't say for sure, let's see."

Xuan Daiyun said "Yeah" and cast an annoyed look at Xuan Huaifeng, "Huaifeng, you really are, I have come to invite you with good intentions. I think there is no conflict between recuperating from illness and listening to operas. Listening to good operas, If you feel better, won’t your illness heal faster?”

Bai Yunfei didn't want to embarrass others, so he hurriedly said, "If the chief is not interested, Yunfei wouldn't dare to force it. After all, recuperating from illness is a serious matter. How about this, please tell Adjutant Xuan that the box in Tianyin Pavilion in the future day, I will Keep it for President Bai. If he is in the mood, he will come and listen; if he has no time, forget it.”

Xuan Daiyun said, "Boss Bai, can you reserve a box for me too, is that okay?"

Bai Yunfei said, "Mrs. Nian always joins the show, Yunfei is flattered, and the box will be reserved for you."

"Then thank you."

"What did you say? It should be me thanking you." Bai Yunfei obviously didn't want to stay for a long time. He stood up and said goodbye to Xuan Huaifeng, "President Bai is recovering from his illness, and Adjutant Xuan must be busier than usual. I won't bother you."

Xuan Huaifeng stood up and sent him out of the flower hall, went down the steps, and politely said, "Why do you just sit here for a while? It's not too late to talk and go."

Bai Yunfei said, "Actually, there are other things. It's something in the Bai mansion. I have to go to the Lin mansion."

Xuan Huaifeng was taken aback suddenly.

He took a deep breath, felt his face was stiff, and said calmly, "Yes, Qijun also often praises the boss, so he must go to see this new play. Does he even want you to come over to invite him in person? "

Bai Yunfei smiled wryly and shook his head, "It was good, he was there. He was new to this book, so he came to my house to watch me practice a few times, and he liked it very much. But something happened a few days ago, and he is still lying in bed. On the bed, it seems that I won’t be able to come out the day after tomorrow. I think he can respect him, and we have made good friends with each other, so I go to visit whenever I have time.”

Xuan Huaifeng asked in surprise, "What? Did something happen to him?"

Bai Yunfei frowned and said, "He didn't explain the specific process clearly. It seems that a few days ago when he took a car outside the city, he was kidnapped by some bandits. Fortunately, the bandits didn't pay close attention to it and let him watch it." I was empty, the rope was loosened, and I escaped from the wilderness alone barefoot. Although I came back, I was frightened and cold, and I was sick all over, and now I invite German doctors to see a doctor and give injections every day.”

Xuan Huaifeng's heart twitched when he heard it.

Qi Jun was also born as our young master, he couldn't lift his shoulders or lift his hands, so it would be extremely dangerous if he encountered gangsters.

Such a big thing, I didn't even know it.

He was bedridden miserably, but Bai Yunfei went to his bedside to comfort him.

The more you think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.

Seeing that his face had changed color, Bai Yunfei seemed a little excited, and persuaded him, "Adjutant Xuan, don't worry too much, it was just a false alarm after all, and everything is not peaceful in this world now, so you can come back without any danger. It’s the luck of misfortune. I went to see him yesterday, and he’s already feeling better. In three or four days, he’ll probably be able to get out of bed and walk around.”

After comforting Xuan Huaifeng a few words, he said, "By the way, you are also old classmates. Do you have anything to say to him?"

Xuan Huaifeng felt a sore thorn in his heart.

I thought to myself, how can I let you bring him what I said to him.

Xuan Huaifeng shook his head and said, "I don't need to trouble you. When I am free, I will visit him in person."

He sent Bai Yunfei away absent-mindedly, but when he came back, he couldn't hold back his heart at all.

He simply went directly to the small phone booth, dialed Lin's house, and said to the servant who answered the phone, "This is the residence of the chief customs officer. Is Lin Qijun there?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I knew I was reckless.

If Qi Jun was on the bed, how could he call to answer his phone.

He was about to change his words to ask about Lin Qijun's situation, but the footman acted quickly, and when he heard that it was a call from the residence of the Chief of Customs, he immediately dropped the microphone and ran inside to deliver a message.

Xuan Huaifeng had no choice but to hold the microphone and wait in regret.
