Xiao Ran actually looked out of place with the people sitting at the table, not to mention the clothes, just being followed by a well-dressed boy was enough to catch the eye.

After a while, first the scholars who were a few seats away started talking together in a low voice, and then those warriors looked at Xiao Ran who was sitting still with strange eyes.

"I said, little brother, you shouldn't be here for someone of your status. Don't you sit in the wrong seat?" The warrior in white jacket sitting next to Xiao Ran said with a sneer, and picked himself up by his side His nine-ringed broadsword rested on his lap.

People are like this, when they become a special exception, they will always be attacked by groups.

The cute one who was adding tea to Xiao Ran twitched his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "If anyone doesn't want to sit here, just change the seat yourself, don't be an eyesore."

After speaking, he pressed his hand on the table casually, and when he lifted it up again, a clear palm print was branded on the table.

Immediately, the few scholars who were leaning together separated, and the white jacket that had been holding the handle of the nine-ringed broadsword angrily just after hearing the pleasing words also went out, snorted and shrank back.

After a while in the cold, I saw Bai Ye coming around from the corridor, and people kept saluting and greeting him along the way, including servants from the He family, and more guests today.

The man looked around with some impatience and was perfunctory. When he turned around and saw them, Xiao Ran felt that he seemed to see Bai Ye's eyes light up.

Seeing this person hastily finished talking to others, he walked over quickly, and walked over to Xiao Ran as if he hadn't seen anyone who greeted him along the way. "Why are you sitting here? Isn't it hot? I've been looking for you inside for a long time, but I didn't see you. I thought you weren't here yet."

"Here we come, but my father-in-law thinks the air outside is better, so he arranged for me to sit outside." Xiao Ran smiled at Bai Ye. "I haven't been back to He's Mansion for a long time. The garden must have been renovated. I didn't know him just now."

Seeing the beads of sweat slipping from Xiao Ran's temples, Bai Ye felt a little uncomfortable, and was about to tell Xiao Ran to sit in, but he became even more puzzled when he saw the wooden box with ivory cups he put aside. "Why didn't you give this thing to Steward Yang?"

"Back to the second young master, Mr. Xiao gave the things to Butler Yang just now, but the butler said, please send the gift to Mr. He directly, so Mr. He will change the seat for Mr. Xiao himself." Before Xiao Ran Round up the words, Huanxi has already said it before Xiao Ran opened his mouth.

Bai Ye understood as soon as he heard it, and his expression immediately sank. "I thought how could it be arranged like this, it turned out to be like this."

He patted the man in the white jacket. "Let me go, I want to sit here."

But that man had just lost face here, and now he was in a rage, when he raised his head and saw a handsome young man who made people feel swayed, not only did he not give up his seat, but his mouth became a little unclean. "If this young master wants to sit down, you can sit on my lap. Seeing that you don't weigh much, it just so happens that my uncle let you know what a man is..."

Bai Ye stopped him and was about to step forward to teach this person a lesson, his eyes twitched. "Let it go or not?"

"Yo, you're still shy... ahhhhhh!" The neck of the white jacket was strangled by a slender hand that was carved out of white jade, and Bai Ye pulled the strong man from the chair with all his strength. , casually threw it on the ground, and then sat beside Xiao Ran in a flash, with one foot stepping on the man's mouth.

"If that's the case, then I'll sit here too." Bai Ye didn't seem to care at all about the man on the ground constantly beating his feet with his hands, pouring tea for himself.

Not to mention the scholars over there who shrank into a ball in fright, even Xiao Ran himself felt that this was really bad.But just now he heard the man's rude words, he knew three points of Bai Ye's temperament, and it was because Bai Ye was merciful today that the man could still howl and roll.But after all, it can't just go on like this. More and more people have noticed this, and they reached out and pulled Bai Ye's sleeves.

"Bai Ye, you'd better sit back in your seat, and don't find your father-in-law to find you later."

Bai Ye is really unhappy about this meeting, anyone can say that he can do it, but Xiao Ran can't.Xiao Ran should be obedient behind him and let him make arrangements... Well, why, he doesn't want to think about it for now, but at least for now, he must sit here to accompany Xiao Ran.

As soon as he felt uncomfortable, he exerted a little force on his feet and crushed him a bit. The pain caused the man under his feet to scream. "Why do you want me? You are his son-in-law, and I am his son-in-law, and you are the boss, why don't I sit with you?"

Xiao Ran and Bai Ye were arguing. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Ran would never be able to argue with Bai Ye. From reasoning to fighting, the two were finally defeated without any surprise.Bai Ye smiled smugly, motioned for Huanxi who was standing behind the two to pour tea for Xiao Ran, and then kicked the man who had screamed until he was exhausted, only the humming man remained. "Pull him to the back door and throw him out."

"Yes, Second Young Master."

"I don't want to see this person in the future, you figure it out."

"Yes, Second Young Master."

Bai Ye sat outside with Xiao Ran, and the whole table could hear Bai Ye whispering softly to Xiao Ran.Those scholars have long been frightened by Bai Ye's sternness, and now they dare not say anything. They all lower their heads and hope that no one will find out; He is a master, and they all shut their mouths and looked around busy.

Forget about Xiao Ran, Bai Ye is really an outstanding character, even if he just sits quietly in a corner, he cannot be ignored.And Bai Ye has been in and out of the He Mansion in the past few years. Everyone is familiar with it. From time to time, people who are half-acquainted and people who are not very familiar with him will come to greet him. Even thinking that the main table was outside, they began to ask the servants why their seats were not near here. The servants were busy explaining but couldn't explain why Bai Ye was here.

a mess.

Bai Ye didn't care about it, he drank his tea by himself, and talked to Xiao Ran from time to time.Xiao Ran pushed him several times to signal him to leave Bai Ye, but he pretended not to notice, but in fact, every time he felt itchy, he wanted to grab Li Ran's hand, and he wanted to wipe off the sweat that kept slipping off his forehead.

Seeing Xiao Ran worrying about himself, Bai Ye's heart softened, as if he had eaten sugar cakes made by Xiao Ran, which made him happy.Although Xiao Ran didn't like the reason why he didn't like him very much, and Xiao Ran didn't want him here, but at least he was thinking about him now, well, that's enough.

With Xiao Ran now, what more could Bai Ye ask for?It's enough to get so much, at least, it's better than li xuan turning his face coldly at him, isn't it?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared in Bai Ye's drooping eyes.

The turmoil here lasted for a while, and the clever servants rushed to tell Steward Yang.Although Guanshi Yang was a little surprised, he also secretly felt happy. He thought for a while and said, "Young master has his own way of doing things. Maybe this is also the arrangement of the master. Let the young master greet the guests first. Well, you should leave it alone. What to do, what to do."

Waiting for the servants to leave, but Butler Yang sighed alone.

It's a pity, Qionghua is clearly the eldest lady, and Xiao Ran is the eldest son-in-law, but apart from these old slaves, how many other people in He Mansion know Xiao Ran?What's even more deplorable is, how many people in the He Mansion really treat Xiao Ran like a son-in-law?

Back then Mrs. He, Mrs. Wen, was unable to be happy after she got married, so Mr. He took the beautiful maid Zhang whom he coveted for a long time as his concubine. Not long after she got married, the concubine gave birth to a baby girl named Qionghua.

Not long after, Mrs. He got the folk prescription from someone who didn't know where, and gave birth to two children in two consecutive years. The older one was a boy. He Ruhui who gave it to Bai Ye.

Originally, Wen's and Mr. He were a marriage of benefits, and both parties were involved. No matter what, Mr. He wanted to give Wen's three points of face.Wen's was always jealous, but now that he has given birth to his only son, his arrogance became more and more arrogant, and he went to run on Zhang's whenever he had something to do.

The red face is easy to change the heart of the old man, Mrs. Zhang was originally a good-natured temperament, and Mr. He's freshness has passed over time, and later he knew that Mrs. Zhang was squeezed out, but he didn't know it.Later, Mrs. Zhang was pregnant again, and she had a miscarriage. Since then, her unhealthy body died of illness not long after.

Qionghua's life without her mother was even more desolate. Master He and Wen's almost ignored her. Afterwards, Xiao Ran came and married Qionghua with only a jade pendant... Fortunately, Xiao Ran was a docile and good-natured person, and he also respected Qionghua. After the two got married, Guanshi Yang saw how they respected each other like guests, and felt relieved for Qionghua.

But just because li xuan is a good-natured and down-and-out poor man, he is also a useless trash in the eyes of a powerful man like master he.The master didn't want to see him, so how could those servants who looked at the master's eyes and doing things give Xiao Ran any good looks?Not long after, Xiao Ran left Jiankang City with Qionghua.

Around the beginning of the second year or the third year, Bai Ye also came with the token of Zhang's engagement back then.Master He treated Bai Ye as the guest of honor and decided to let Bai Ye marry the second young lady He Ruhui.At this time, Xiao Ran and Qionghua had already moved away from the He Mansion, and they would only come back to visit their only family member during the holidays. Some of the new servants in the mansion had never even seen Xiao Ran.They only knew Miss He Ruhui and Uncle Bai Ye, who Xiao Ran and Qionghua were, they didn't know.

This is still the case until now, when Xiao Ran came back, how many servants knew him?In the eyes of these servants, what is the difference between Xiao Ran and those poor scholars and down-and-out warriors who came to take the opportunity to have a free meal?

He felt sorry for Xiao Ran and Qionghua, but what could he do for them?Now that Bai Ye is making such a fuss, Steward Yang is very happy. Master He doesn't want to see Xiao Ran at all today. For Master He, Bai Ye is enough to support him.But now that Bai Ye is by Xiao Ran's side, Steward Yang really wants to know, what will Master He do now?Under such circumstances, how could he not recognize Xiao Ran?

However, apart from Butler Yang, there are always a few old servants who have been in the He Mansion for many years who know Xiao Ran, such as He Xin who is personally accompanied by Master He.When he sent Mr. Lin, the county magistrate, into the inner room, he saw the excitement in the garden. When he came out, he went over to see if there was any accident. Mr. He who received the visitors.

"My lord, my uncle went to sit on a seat in the garden, and my eldest uncle is also there!"

Master He frowned, and was about to say something when a servant rushed in at the door. "Master, Xuantian Sect sent a special envoy to celebrate his birthday."

Xuantianmen?Xuantianmen, the number one sect in the world?Master He's eyes brightened. Although Bai Ye is the second young master of Xuantianmen, he and Ruhui have been married for so many years, except that Xuantianmen sent people to watch the ceremony on the day of the big ceremony. It's nothing more than a disciple coming to congratulate him, but this time he actually sent a special envoy, which is really embarrassing!

Master He turned his eyes, turned his head and said to He Xin: "Go and invite my uncle, just say that someone from Xuantianmen is here, meet the chairman, and ask him to go over and say hello."

"Yes, sir."

Seeing that He Xin ran away with the order, Master He straightened his collar, patted his sleeves, and smiled to the left and right. "The old man will go to greet the guests first, everyone, feel free, feel free."

"Master He, please!"

He Xin hurried to the garden and ran to Bai Ye's side, as if he didn't see Xiao Ran, he directly saluted Bai Ye. "Uncle, why are you sitting here? Isn't it hot?"

Bai Ye ignored him and drank tea on his own.

He Xin also knew Bai Ye's temperament, so he smiled and said, "If my uncle likes the scenery here, it would be very charming to ask the master to arrange a table for you to enjoy the cool banquet when the weather cools...My uncle, there is nothing else, just The special envoy from Xuantianmen is here, sir, please go to the front door to receive him."

Only then did Bai Ye slowly put down the teacup in his hand. "So this is talking to me?"

"Young master was joking, and this is naturally talking to you."

"Oh? Isn't the guy next to me the uncle of your He family?"

"This..." He Xin then looked at Xiao Ran who had been holding his teacup with his head down, and bowed his waist as if he had just discovered him. "Isn't this the uncle, long time no see."

Xiao Ran put down his cup, and got up in embarrassment to return the gift. "haven't seen you for a long time……"

After finishing speaking, Bai Ye dragged her to sit back. "It's so hot, aren't you tired from standing up and sitting down? Drink more herbal tea and be careful not to suffer from heat stroke."

After stuffing a piece of cold cake into Li Ran's hand, Bai Ye raised his head and looked at He Xin who was a little dazed again. When he saw He Xin's eyes were fixed on Xiao Ran, his brows tightened. "What are you looking at?"

"No, I didn't watch anything. I haven't seen Eldest Uncle for many years, and I think Eldest Uncle is getting better and better." He Xin is a smart person, and he can understand the reason why Bai Ye is sitting here now after seeing Bai Ye's attitude towards Xiao Ran. He coughed twice to hide his surprise. "Second Uncle, the special envoy from Xuantian Sect is here, why don't you go and receive him?"

"They come, do I need to go?" Bai Ye sneered. "If you have nothing to do, go down, it's very hot in here."

"Yes, Second Uncle, it's so hot here, why are you sitting here? Why don't you go inside and sit?"

"The eldest uncle's seat is here. As the second uncle, I should be next to him, right? Why, isn't that the case?" Bai Ye leaned towards Xiao Ran, and said leisurely.

"No... this..." He Xin was sweating.Bai Ye shouldn't be here, but Xiao Ran's seat should be here.Now Young Master Bai meant that he would be where Xiao Ran was, but he, He Xin, was just a servant, how could he exceed the arrangement for Xiao Ran to enter the inner table?

He can't handle this matter at all!

He Xin had no choice but to hurry back and tell Master He.
