Jin Yu Dynasty

The next day Xuan Huaifeng and Bai Xuelan woke up in the same bed, opened their eyes and saw Bai Xuelan's face next to the pillow, startled, and blurted out, "What happened?"

Bai Xuelan smiled wryly and said, "You still ask me? How much did you drink yesterday to get so drunk?"

Xuan Huaifeng's eyes widened in surprise: "Did I do it?"

An incredible expression.

Sitting up, she realized that her body was naked under the quilt, she was taken aback, and glanced at Bai Xuelan, her cheeks flushed immediately.

Bai Xuelan also sat up, and asked interestingly, "Have you forgotten everything you did and said when you were drunk?"

Xuan Huaifeng carefully recalled last night, since he left the gate of Nianzhai, after that, there were dream marks in the water, and the occasional blurred shadows were really drunk to the point of forgetting everything, he became embarrassed, and said bitterly: "Drink How can a drunk person remember so much? There are people who are not drunk but take advantage of others." He stared at Bai Xuelan dissatisfied.

Bai Xuelan raised her thin lips and smiled slightly.

Xuan Huaifeng became even more angry, and asked him: "What are you proud of? Is such behavior worthy of your happiness? No wonder you have these scars on your face and body, you deserve it in the first place."

Bai Xuelan said with a good temper: "Do you think that I took advantage of you last night while you were drunk? No, no. Besides, you are not someone who has not experienced these things. Could it be that I had something wrong with you last night? If you didn't do that kind of thing, you wouldn't feel anything physically?"

Xuan Huaifeng was dubious.

Tried to feel it, it really didn't look like it.

Bai Xuelan has great strength and extraordinary endurance, if she spends the night with him, her whole body will feel like falling apart the next morning, not to mention the embarrassment and discomfort of her lower body.

It seems that Bai Xuelan was indeed wronged.

In this way, Xuan Huaifeng was even more embarrassed.

After being bored for a while, he glanced at Bai Xuelan with a guilty conscience, and asked, "I'm drunk, so I'm so violent? I never knew."

In this way, Xuan Huaifeng was even more embarrassed.

After being bored for a while, he glanced at Bai Xuelan with a guilty conscience, and asked, "I'm drunk, so I'm so violent? I never knew."

Bai Xuelan asked interestingly: "Are you denying your account?"

With just a few fingerprints on his handsome face, it's impossible not to admit it.

Xuan Huaifeng has never been a thick-skinned person, and his tongue is not as strong as Bai Xuelan's, so he became embarrassed, and said: "Why don't you admit it? I will apologize to you."

Bai Xuelan had been looking forward to this sentence, and asked, "How do you plan to make amends?"

Xuan Huaifeng said, "Will you lose money? You probably won't."

Bai Xuelan said: "Of course, if you hit someone, you just pay a few bucks and think about it? Besides, I'm not short of money..."

"Okay, I know you don't need money." Xuan Huaifeng listened to the uncontrollable complacency in his tone, and was afraid that he would push forward again, so he stopped him and said, "We don't talk about money, but don't just mention things that others can't do. It’s a request. Seriously, first ask the servant to get some medicine, and I’ll rub it on for you.”

Bai Xuelan said: "There's no need to call the servant. Last time, didn't I put some good medicines for detoxification and blood stasis in that drawer? I planned to prepare them for you. That's good, but I used them myself first."

He sighed deliberately.

Xuan Huaifeng couldn't help laughing: "If you have self-knowledge, if I drink alcohol in the future, please stay away from me."

As he said that, he wrapped the quilt around his shoulders and got out of bed.

Bai Xuelan grabbed him and said, "Didn't you mean to apply the medicine for me? Where do you want to go? I will never let you escape."

Xuan Huaifeng was afraid that he would start messing around, so he pulled the quilt off his body, hurriedly pulled the quilt to the base of his neck, pinched the corners of the quilt tightly with his knuckles, and said, "Can I still run away? Of course I have to put it on first." Take off your clothes, go to the drawer to get you medicine, and then wipe your face. "

Bai Xuelan said with a playful smile, "Just take the medicine, why wear clothes?"

The intention of these words was too obvious, Xuan Huaifeng was embarrassed for a while, he gave him a hard look, and went to get clothes from the bedside cabinet.

How could Bai Xuelan let him go? When this person became interested, he ignored all etiquette, and simply jumped out of bed and hugged him fiercely.

Seeing him coming naked, Xuan Huaifeng exclaimed, "Are you crazy again?"

She was embarrassed to put her eyes on him, and subconsciously closed them.

As a result, she immediately lost her resistance, and was carried back to the bed by Bai Xuelan after a while, and pulled the quilt away in twos and threes, revealing her white and tender body wrapped inside.Bai Xuelan lowered her head, kissing and biting the two soft red beans as if she was very hungry.

Suck this, suck that.

Xuan Huaifeng trembled as if being hit by an electric current, and his breathing suddenly became disordered.

With a long neck, she panted and said, "Don't...you don't..."

With both hands resting on Bai Xuelan's chest, she finally pushed it away a little, and hurriedly said: "Look at what time it is, you are still acting like this!"

Flushing.

Because Bai Xuelan's relationship made great progress last night, and she didn't want to destroy the results of her hard work, she endured the fire-like heat below, hugged Xuan Huaifeng, and asked, "You can't mess around at this time. , When can it be? Twelve at noon? Four in the afternoon? Or seven or eight in the evening? There are 24 hours a day, Mr. Xuan, just give me an exact time."

Xuan Huaifeng was not good at answering such unscrupulous questions, so ashamed that he couldn't bear it, he just said, "Let's see."

Bai Xuelan said: "No, you've been prevaricating me and treating me like a fool. If you do this again, I can only act preemptively and punish you on the spot early in the morning."

Xuan Huai asked anxiously, "Then what do you want from me?"

Bai Xuelan put on a negotiating tone: "According to me, after dinner, it falls within the scope of that time."

Xuan Huaifeng was held in his arms, and the two bodies were pressed against each other without barriers. He was so ashamed to talk about such topics, and protested: "I won't talk to you anymore!"

Bai Xuelan smiled immediately: "That's the default, very good, we will implement it accordingly."

Xuan Huaifeng didn't expect him to speak so forcefully, just when he opened his mouth, Bai Xuelan bit his ear, and said in a mournful voice: "You can't let me not have enough to eat for the rest of my life. If you touch it, I won't be so hard." I admit it, do you really want me to suffocate this lifeline for you, so that you can feel at ease?"

Xuan Huaifeng was grabbed by his hand and pressed down. Sure enough, the thing was hot and hard when his palm touched it.

Already ready to go.

It's hard enough for him to endure like this.

Unable to feel a trace of guilt in his heart, he twisted his neck and glanced back at Bai Xuelan.

Bai Xuelan took advantage of this moment to peck him on the lips, and said with a smile: "It's settled, I will listen to you now, and I will listen to me after dinner, don't be dishonest."

Before Xuan Huaifeng could speak, he took the initiative to loosen his arms.

Bai Xuelan got out of bed, found a set of clothes in the closet, threw them on the bed, and said, "Put it on, I haven't been to the yamen for a few days, you come with me."

Although the Qing Dynasty is gone, it is not far away after all, and people nowadays often speak some old words.The yamen he mentioned naturally refers to the General Administration of Customs.

Xuan Huaifeng saw that it was a very neat set of military uniforms, made according to the special new style of the General Administration of Customs, and the colors and styles were very western.

He was born in a warlord's family, and it was his first time wearing a military uniform. He slowly put it on from the inside to the outside, and finally put on the coat. He looked slender, with black and white eyes, a tall and straight nose, and a compelling sharpness. The heroic spirit came straight from the bones.

Bai Xuelan's military uniform was in her room, she took a long gown and put it on, looked up, and couldn't help applauding: "Good guy, I don't know, I thought you were the young commander of which family! Wait a minute, You don’t know how to get the belt that goes with this military uniform, let me help you.”

Came over to snatch the belt, and helped Xuan Huaifeng tie it around his waist in a selfish way, wiped the oil a few times, and said, "Your waist is too thin, there are a few more buttonholes."

Xuan Huaifeng said: "Have you had enough trouble? It's rare to be busy with official duties one day, so you should be more serious and go back to your room to change your official uniform."

While talking, he got out of bed with bare feet, looked for socks to put on, and looked for shoes.

Bai Xuelan ran early to get the brand new and bright boots from the shoe cabinet, put them under his feet, let him sit on the chair, and helped him put them on.

Xuan Huaifeng kept shrinking his feet and refused, and even said: "I dare not, I can't afford it."

Definitely not.

Bai Xuelan had no choice but to give up, watching Xuan Huaifeng put on the shoes with a look of regret.

Afterwards, Bai Xuelan also went back to her room and put on her official military uniform, the same high leather boots and a tight belt.

When the two met in the living room, you looked at me and I looked at you, and they both felt that the image of the other was very fresh and beautiful.

Xuan Huaifeng took out the bottle of good ointment left over from last time, and smeared it on Bai Xuelan's face. It is indeed a good medicine. After half an hour of breakfast, he looked up again, and the traces had almost disappeared. , If you don't look carefully, it's just like a normal person.

The drivers and guards at the gate outside were already ready.

The two of them shared a car, and Song Ren and others sat in several other cars, with guards in front and back, and drove to the General Administration of Customs with great pomp.

When the directors and deputy directors who happened to be in the department heard that the chief executive was coming, they all rushed out to greet him and greeted him in a hurry.

Bai Xuelan hadn't come here for quite a while, and he also knew that the General Administration of Customs' hearts were not stable recently, so he had to comfort these subordinates with gentle words and stood there for almost half an hour before sending everyone away. Follow Xuan Huaifeng to his spacious and luxurious chief executive's office.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the door, the knock on the door rang again before the two had time to sit down and take a breath.

Bai Xuelan said impatiently: "Which bastard came to greet me again? He took the money from the country and didn't do things honestly. He always made some fake articles, so as not to let people live for a while."

Xuan Huaifeng persuaded him: "You haven't met anyone yet, how do you know that he is here to greet you? Besides, even if you greet the chief's gunshot wound, it is a kind intention, and it is not a fault."

Bai Xuelan snorted: "If you assume that others are so kind, then you assume that I am evil."

Xuan Huaifeng knew that he would occasionally have such a childish temper, so he smiled slightly and ignored him.

Inviting the person who knocked on the door to come in was beyond their expectations.

It was Adjutant Sun.

Bai Xuelan asked: "You came here? Didn't you report to me last night that you were going to inspect the place today? Why, didn't you go?"

Adjutant Sun wiped the thin sweat from his forehead, and smiled: "I was going to take a look at the following, because some documents that were urgently sent out required my signature, so I rushed back. When I arrived at the General Administration, several people and I said the chief is here."

He turned his head and looked at Xuan Huaifeng's eyes, and said hello, admiring him, and said, "Adjutant Xuan, you look energetic enough to make people's eyes shine."

Xuan Huaifeng smiled back and said, "Thank you. Adjutant Sun is also very energetic in his military uniform."

Adjutant Sun asked: "Adjutant Xuan, you have been busy in the mansion recently, and it is rare to come here. Today is a good time to get acquainted. If there is any official document for you, I will ask them to send it to the adjutant's office. The adjutant's office will at first floor."

Xuan Huaifeng was nominally the adjutant of the head of customs, but he was actually very unfamiliar with the general administration. He wanted to walk around to get acquainted. Hearing what adjutant Sun said, it suited him well, so he said, "That's a good idea. Then you should go to work first." , let me go for a walk.”

After leaving the chief's office, of course, there are fluent staff as guides, taking him to watch the introduction one by one.

As soon as Xuan Huaifeng left on the other side, Bai Xuelan asked Adjutant Sun to lock the door behind him.

Bai Xuelan sat down on the big leather armchair and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what made you hurry back?"

Adjutant Sun said: "This morning, my subordinate went to several confiscated warehouses to check, and asked the person in charge of the warehouse to take out the record book to have a look. There were two records that did not match. At that time, my subordinate was surprised, so he simply put the notebook in The registrant picked up the next two new pages and checked the items in the warehouse one by one, and this check was good, five or six batches of confiscated items disappeared.”

Bai Xuelan asked, "What did the manager say?"

Adjutant Sun said: "The warehouse manager complained that they were wronged, saying that they had shifts of more than a dozen people, and they often transferred things everywhere, because the official documents were not delivered in time, and sometimes they could take things away with a white note. Dare to stop it. The problem is not limited to these. Even some confiscated goods that have been recorded and transferred out with official documents are worrying. Especially the tobacco and soil handed over by some smugglers, the registration said that the department proposed to destroy them , but there are only a few names of people who come and go inside, which makes people feel uneasy. Isn’t there a rumor these days? A while ago, the opium halls were out of stock, and these two weeks, it seems that the stock has been supplied again It’s on. How do you know that something went wrong under the customs?”

Bai Xuelan sneered as she listened, and asked Adjutant Sun, "Who handles the most destruction of smoke and soil?"

Adjutant Sun hesitated to speak, and raised his eyes to peek at Bai Xuelan's face.

Bai Xuelan said: "There's no need to hide it, to put it bluntly, he's Huaifeng's brother-in-law, right?"

Adjutant Sun nodded, but he didn't have evidence in hand, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he said hesitantly: "It's all speculation now, it may not be the case, and we need to investigate the details. Nian Liangfu is now in the inspection department The chief of the department, it is his duty to destroy the smoke and soil and other contraband found in the inspection. Maybe he really served the country loyally and destroyed all the smoke and soil according to the rules. "

Bai Xuelan said with a smile: "Don't put money on his face, this person can serve the country loyally, then the street will be full of Yue Fei."

Adjutant Sun asked, "According to what the chief said, how should we deal with him?"

"What's wrong with this?" Bai Xuelan didn't hesitate at all, and said bluntly and simply: "Secretly investigate first, and bring it to me if you find conclusive evidence. When I have free hands, grab this Wormtail, draw him out blood and flesh. That's clean."

Adjutant Sun smiled: "Clean is clean, I'm afraid that Adjutant Xuan will be difficult to explain."

What he considered also made sense.

Xuan Huaifeng doesn't care much about himself, but he cares about his sister with ten thousand and eleven thousand cares.

Xuan Daiyun is pregnant now, if something happens to her husband when the fruit is ripe, Xuan Daiyun holds the baby and starts crying to his younger brother, how can Xuan Huaifeng be in a hurry?

Bai Xuelan waved her hand decisively, and said, "Adjutant Xuan, I will naturally explain to him. Don't worry about superfluous things, go and deal with your business first."

Adjutant Sun agreed, and went out to handle errands.

Bai Xuelan stayed alone in the office, looking up at the ceiling, frowning slightly.

Get up.

Coincidentally, Bai Yunfei had already made an appointment with Nian Zhai that day.

After lunch, Bai Yunfei changed his clothes and took a rickshaw to Nian Zhai.

He has been here a lot these days, and the concierge recognized him and let him go in directly.

Xuan Daiyun was in the room when he heard the little girl outside say: "Ma'am, Boss Bai is here to teach you a song." He lifted the window screen, looked through the glass, and walked to the door, clasping his hands reservedly. He smiled and saw him coming.

Bai Yunfei hurriedly said: "Don't dare to take it, why do you have to wait so hard?"

Xuan Daiyun's belly was protruding, but his face was very rosy, and he said, "It's okay, the German doctor said, I should also take a walk from time to time."

Sitting down in the side hall, Xuan Daiyun said: "Boss Bai, the two sentences I learned before, the wind in the water palace comes in autumn, and the moon shines on which floor of the palace gate. I have practiced it many times, but it always fails me , I just want to ask you to listen and give advice.”

As he spoke, he coughed twice, held his hands together, and sang once with his eyebrows raised and his voice turned solemnly.

Bai Yunfei heard this, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Nian, you are already very talented. Is there any dissatisfaction at this point? It sounds very good to me."

Facing such a handsome young man with elegant speech, Xuan Daiyun was also in a good mood, and his attitude became more amiable. He smiled and said: "You only said that it was good, so it can be seen that it is not very good. I am just learning to play." Yes, I don’t expect to be qualified to be on the stage, but I can learn something, even if I become a fancier in the future, I won’t be laughed at..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped.

His eyes stopped on Bai Yunfei's face, and he asked in doubt, "What's wrong with these two marks on your face?"

Bai Yunfei was slightly taken aback, and thought, she was careful.

Lin Qijun didn't see it yesterday, but this unrelated wife caught a glimpse of something strange.

It can be seen that people's hearts are different.

He secretly sighed, covered half of his face with his hands, and asked with a forced smile: "Why, can you still see it? It should all be gone last night."

Xuan Daiyun was even more surprised, and asked, "Did someone beat him?"

Bai Yunfei turned his body to the side, avoiding her gaze, and said, "What? I accidentally slipped my foot during my practice yesterday and hit my face on the back of the stool. Look, isn't this the same as the two bars on the back of the stool? "

Seeing his embarrassment, Xuan Daiyun knew that he shouldn't ask any more, and said, "Your job is not easy, you just need to practice...you should be more careful in the future."

He took a deep look at him and sighed.

At this time, the servant brought hot tea, and each of them took a cup of tea and put his mind on the tea.

Xuan Daiyun took a sip, then frowned suddenly, turned half of his body and said to the footman: "Didn't I say that when Boss Bai comes over, don't serve tea, but prepare some rock sugar chrysanthemums to moisten your throat. Why is it always Can't you remember?"

Bai Yunfei hurriedly said, "It's okay, I also drink tea often."

Xuan Daiyun said: "These people don't always think about others, you don't need to speak well for them."

Ask the servant to withdraw the tea, and take another chrysanthemum to brew.

For her thoughtfulness, Bai Yunfei felt a little grateful in his heart, tasted the freshly brewed chrysanthemums, his mouth was full of fragrance, and it had a different taste.

Seeing that he was silent, Xuan Daiyun couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? This chrysanthemum is not tasty?"

Bai Yunfei said, "No, no."

After a pause, he sighed and said, "I was just thinking that the same rice can breed a variety of people. There are so many hateful ones, and there are young wives who are both beautiful and kind."

Xuan Daiyun smiled embarrassedly when he received such praise, and said: "I can't take such words, I'm just a woman who eats, eats, and wears clothes all day long. Nowadays, women outside have a kind of ability who can Go to the society to earn money to support the family. Sitting at home like me, not doing production, is not beneficial to society, and is an old-fashioned old woman.”

Bai Yunfei said: "According to what you say, what good do opera singers like me do to society? They can neither grow a grain of rice nor weave a piece of cloth, but they are just for the rich to spend their time That’s all, it’s the dross of the old-fashioned society.”

After Xuan Daiyun heard these words, he looked at the elegant and handsome man opposite him with his eyes, and when he thought of his bad luck, he felt pity and love. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to hide Said: "Oh, how do we discuss such a big topic of society? It's so boring."

Changing the subject, he asked Bai Yunfei, "Are there any brothers and sisters at home?"

Bai Yunfei replied, "There is a younger sister down there who is studying."

Xuan Daiyun said: "When I was young, I was most envious of other people having an older brother. When I was bullied, I could ask my older brother for help. Unfortunately, I was the boss, and Huaifeng was the only younger brother."

Bai Yunfei said: "I really envy Adjutant Xuan, having a sister like you. If I had such a sister, my parents would be gone, and I wouldn't be here. It can be seen that the same person does not have the same fate."

Xuan Daiyun couldn't help but sighed with him.

The two drank chrysanthemum tea for a while, and practiced a few tunes after arriving in the small garden.

Bai Yunfei knew that she was healthy, so he didn't dare to let her sing more, for fear of hurting her anger, he told her to rest after teaching a few words, but he himself complied with Xuan Daiyun's request and sang "The Peony Pavilion" to her. "Photography" in ".

Xuan Daiyun sat on a stone bench covered with mattresses, leaning against the cool round stone table with his body slightly tilted, his cheeks resting on his crisp hands.

The sunlight fell scattered through the branches and leaves, making people very comfortable.

A gentle and round voice penetrated into the ears.

"These young people, who look like flowers, will soon be haggard."

"Not because his blessings are hard to sell,"

"What's worse, the beauty is easy to grow old..."

Kan Kan a song, mourning and pity, Xuan Daiyun will also cry for Mrs. Du.

The Nian family invited Bai Yunfei to come over to teach singing, and it was set for two hours each time.Nowadays, masters are invited to learn opera at home, and they are paid according to the level of each character in the theater circle, and they are paid by the hour.There are such first-class red horns, because they have some status and want to make extra money, they go to other people's homes to sit and perfunctory a few words.

However, Bai Yunfei was very virtuous in this regard, and he had agreed for a few hours that he would definitely be seated by the end of the day.

Because Xuan Daiyun couldn't sing more, and the time was not yet up, he sang a song, and he still accompanied Xuan Daiyun, giving her delicate steps on the podium.

In the end, Xuan Daiyun got up embarrassed, asked him to take a break, and said: "These skills are not learned overnight. Our house has just changed, and there are some Western things. If you don't mind, How about enjoying it?"

So he invited him to look around in the courtyard hall.

Although Bai Yunfei is down and out now, he has experienced riches and honors in the past. He was invited by Xuandai Yunzhi to look at it. He was very generous. When he saw large Western furniture or Chinese-style gold and jade decorations, he casually praised him. son's business.

Turned around in the living room, but suddenly stopped, and his face changed.

Seeing him like this, Xuan Daiyun also paid attention, and followed his gaze. It turned out that he was staring at a grid under the antique shelf, but he was a little dazed.

The thing placed there was a black mass. Xuan Daiyun picked it up and realized it was a mountain-shaped pen stand.

Xuan Daiyun said with a smile: "No wonder, Boss Bai laughed at me. I don't know who gave it to me. It's not gray, black or black, red or red. It's weird. It doesn't look like a stone, but it looks like it's grown. Rust. I also said it was ugly, and I was about to put it away in the sundry pile, but it happened that I didn’t have time these days, so it was left here.”

Bai Yunfei was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and said in a low voice, "Forgive me, Mrs. Nian, you may have missed your mark, this is a good thing."

"Um?"

"It's called rust red glaze. It really looks like rust. It has another name called sauce glaze. This practice has been around since the time of Xuande in the Song and Ming Dynasties. Court craftsmen specially used iron to color it. Good things from last year, but now in this world." , Not many people recognize it, everyone only knows gold and jewelry, and the official kilns of the Qianlong Dynasty are treated as worthless things." Bai Yunfei pointed to the pen holder: "Look, this is like Shishanzi , the color is realistic, and the shape is also very natural, the texture and holes of the stone are all present, it is not easy."

Xuan Daiyun is not good at antiques. Hearing this, and taking a closer look, he thought it was weird and ugly, but now he really felt a bit elegant and exquisite, and said strangely: "I can't tell, but you are a A master of antiques. It’s rare to have such insight at such a young age, even if he can sing well.”

Bai Yunfei smiled wryly: "Where. I only recognize it because of some previous relationships."

"What?" Xuan Daiyun, because he loves Bai Yunfei's plays, often listens to news about some opera actors. He has roughly heard that Bai Yunfei was brought down by our young master, so he asked in surprise, "Could it be an old thing from Boss Bai's house?"

Bai Yunfei said: "It was on my desk for several years. At that time, I was young and frivolous, I didn't like reading, and I didn't care about such a gadget. It's just that I saw it suddenly, and it brought back so many memories..." His face flickered After a moment of gloom, he quickly restrained himself, and said with a faint smile, "Don't mention the past."

He also said to Xuan Daiyun: "It is also a blessing for Mrs. Nian that it fell into the hands of Mrs. Nian. A kind-hearted person like you can always keep it. It would be a pity if those ignorant people broke it. .”

Just as Xuan Daiyun was about to answer, the servant Niangui ran in and said, "Ma'am, Master's car is back."

Bai Yunfei looked at the Western clock on the wall, it happened to be two hours, so he didn't stay any longer and bid farewell to Xuan Daiyun.
