linked to the collar

Looking at the shop is actually exhausting, especially for Xiao Ran and Bai Ye who have never had relevant experience.Fortunately, there is Shi Er, a clever person, who will explain everything that Xiao Ran doesn't understand.

Not long after, another servant from Xuantianmen came over with herbal tea and snacks, and brought an old man and a man in coarse clothes. He said that the old man had opened a bookstore in the next city and knew the general structure and feng shui arrangement. The man is a master craftsman. If you want to modify it in the store, tell this man and he will arrange it.

Xiao Ran also went to his father's bookstore when he was a child, and he knew a thing or two about it, but he was a layman in feng shui placement and stocking. He followed the old gentleman to listen to the class, and his attitude was as respectful as if he was facing his own. gentlemen.

Bai Ye couldn't stand that Xiao Ran was not by his side, so Xiao Ran followed the old man, and he followed Xiao Ran, the three of them walked around the shop like an old hen with two chicks.But after a while he couldn't take it anymore, he dragged Xiao Ran to sit down, and Shi Er poured a bowl of herbal tea over.

"Don't be in a hurry. If you think Mr. Liu is good, it doesn't hurt to let him stay with you for a while."

"No, that's a lot of trouble. Mr. Liu still has his own business."

Mr. Liu, who was looking up at the beam, laughed when he heard it. "The hall master said that if Mr. Xiao doesn't mind it, I will work as an accountant with you, and I can give you some salary every month. If you find it inconvenient, Mr. Xiao, this old man will work for you for three months. Depending on Mr. Xiao's intelligence, you will definitely be able to become a teacher when the time comes."

Xiao Ran stood up and bowed with an open mind to listen to the teaching. "Then thank you sir."

Xiao Ran was naturally satisfied with this shop, and after listening to the old gentleman's explanation of taxes and fees, he told Bai Ye that he should book it.

As soon as Bai Ye heard the great joy, he sent someone to fetch the land deed. He dragged Xiao Ran to the original counter and stared at Xiao Ran. After signing, he hid it away properly. Here, Xiao Ran also wrote an IOU and signed it himself. , and handed it to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye looked at the IOU carefully, and Xiao Ran was still thinking about it. How could this person be meticulous sometimes, so meticulous that people would suspect that he was actually a money-grubbing ghost. He didn't know why Bai Ye saw this as an IOU. It's clearly your Bai Ye's contract of prostitution!

Afterwards, the clerk, the craftsman and the old gentleman left one by one, and Shi Er accompanied Bai Ye and Xiao Ran to have dinner.

Xiao Ran originally wanted to invite the old gentleman to join him, but he declined, saying that he still had a chance in the future, and he would go back today to do a good calculation of the feng shui of this shop.

After dinner, Bai Ye took Xiao Ran back to the hut in the cool wind, and after watching Xiao Ran enter the house, he slowly returned to the city, and slept in the hotel arranged by the hall master.

From the second day on, he began to be busy with the decoration of the store. Xiao Ran is a person who likes to do things by himself, and it can be said that he is cautious. It is not too boring and hot in such a hot day. He has to go to the store to look at it by himself every day. Mr. followed suit.

Wherever Xiao Ran was, Bai Ye would naturally be there too. Although he felt sorry for Xiao Ran, he figured out that since Xiao Ran took this so seriously, he would not leave this point casually in the future, no matter how tired he was with him, he was still happy.

Bai Ye is now afraid that Xiao Ran will have nothing to worry about, and then he will come and leave.It's easy to find someone, but a bookworm like Xiao Ran who is so inconspicuous and taciturn that he can't be found by throwing it in the crowd, as long as he doesn't pay attention for a few days, he is guaranteed to be lost.It was because of this that he couldn't find Xiao Ran before, he didn't want to let people run away after he realized that he liked Xiao Ran two years later.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Laifu drove Bai Ye's carriage back with the luggage that Huxi and Xiao Ran had left in Jiankang City, but it was strange that Li Yunfei and Tang Mubai did not come together.

"Heh, second master, you don't know. Master He has found out about Mr. Tang's family background since he blocked Mr. Tang and Mr. Li. Not to mention Mr. He, even the villain was surprised. A descendant of the Tang Sect. Master He, this is running with Mr. Tang every day. I heard that Mr. Tang and Mr. Li are coming to Wuzhou City to meet you and Mr. Xiao. Mr. He is planning to let his wife come with them , Mr. Tang was so frightened that he couldn’t speak, so he dragged Mr. Li and sneaked away overnight.” Kuxi explained, laughing from ear to ear when he thought of that day. "Second Master, you don't know how scared Mr. Tang is, all the little Mr. Tang is gone!"

After hearing this, Xiao Ran and Bai Ye couldn't help but shook their heads with a smile.They can really imagine what kind of character Master He is.After laughing, Xiao Ran thought something was wrong, so he asked Shi Er to grind his ink and said that he would write a letter to Tang Mubai's brother to apologize.

How do you say that the elder brother entrusted his most precious younger brother to him, and now he ran away by himself, and Xiao Tang was scared by his father-in-law, so why not justify it?

Bai Ye opened the pack, and polished it for Xiao Ran diligently. Xiao Ran didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he took the letter paper and paved it.

Looking up, Bai Ye felt something was wrong.

"Xiao Ran, what is the name of Tang Mubai's elder brother?"

"Huh? Brother Tang? It's called Tang Longzhen. What's wrong?"

Nothing, nothing, just a little surprise.

Bai Ye thought that Tang Mubai was just a child of a branch of the Tang family, but it turned out that he was not, he was a child of the same family.The Tang Sect in Central Shu is famous for its hidden weapons and poisons, but hidden weapons and poisons have their own branches in the Tang Sect.But in recent years, a genius came out of the Tang family, who not only improved many of the original hidden weapons, but also single-handedly concocted the highly poisonous blue Youqing that everyone in the martial arts world has become dismayed by.

This person is Tang Longzhen.

Bai Ye also met Tang Longzhen once, a few years ago when he went to Sichuan to mediate disputes between several sects. At that time, he felt that this man was a little older than himself, and he seemed to be a man of the city.At that time, the old seniors of several major sects in central Shu were there, so he always stood behind his uncle, who is the current head of the Tang family, listening to others, even if it involved the interests of the Tang family, he always looked calm, completely unlike The other juniors who came with them, once their own interests were involved, they would scream endlessly like being stabbed with a knife.

"How did you know him?"

"How did you know each other? At that time, Yunfei and a friend traveled to Sichuan together, and we met on the way. Later, Brother Tang said that he wanted to go around with us, and we would stay together for about three months, and then we would separate if something happened. Yes. He entertained us for a while at the beginning of this year when we passed through the middle of Shu, and it happened that Xiao Tang also wanted to travel around at that time, so Brother Tang entrusted Xiao Tang to us." Xiao Ran carefully dried the ink on the paper, and then pretended Put it into the envelope and seal it, get up and prepare to ask someone to take it to Shuzhong.How did he know that as soon as he stood up, the letter in his hand was snatched away by Bai Ye.

"I'll get someone to deliver it to you. It's guaranteed to be faster than the folk post, okay?" Bai Ye smiled flatteringly at Xiao Ran while holding the letter, while fanning Xiao Ran with his sleeve, how did he know that Xiao Ran couldn't bear this situation? The white ones flew in front of his eyes, and he felt dizzy, so he stretched out his hand and pressed down his arm.

"Okay, then I will trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble, I'll let Shi Er do it in a while. Shall I bring you another bowl of iced ebony soup? Or should we go directly to the shop to drink it? Xiao Ran, you can't tell anything by looking at it like this, God It's so hot, what are you doing?"

Xiao Ran wiped the sweat off his head, looked at the busy workers inside and Mr. Liu who was working as a supervisor with a fan, and really felt that there was nothing he could do, so he said, "Okay, I just want some more Go visit some old friends."

"Friend? Who is it?"

Xiao Ran didn't think that Bai Ye asked too much detail, and said in a good temper: "At that time, I left in a hurry, and my students were entrusted to other masters to take care of them. I also met many former students in the past two days, and they all said that the later masters They are very caring, so I am also pleased, and naturally I have to thank them."

Bai Ye muttered things like "they also took money", "I didn't know you well back then", "it's hot and you're not tired", but he also knew that Xiao Ran was very polite, if he really said it, he might not be on the spot If you give him a face, you will be indifferent to him for a while, and the words will just roll around in your mouth after all, and you will admit it after pouring down a bowl of cold ebony soup.

After accompanying Xiao Ran to visit several wives in succession, the sky was getting dark, Bai Ye dragged Xiao Ran who wanted to visit another family to have dinner.At this time, the stalls in the night market had already started to be displayed. After walking a few steps, Xiao Ran was attracted by a stall selling combs. He was about to go up to take a closer look when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

"Master Xiao Ran? Yo! It's really you!" With a slightly joyful voice and a somewhat familiar face, Xiao Ran thought about it for a while before he remembered. Isn't this the empty talk of the servant beside Canxing? "Hehe, I looked like you from a distance. When I saw Mr. Bai, I couldn't believe it. It turned out that you really came back! At the beginning of the year, Canxing told me that you came back to see him, and I said, what a coincidence It’s good to miss the day when I go back to my hometown, and I’ve got my wish!”

Kong Yan smiled brightly, Xiao Ran almost couldn't recognize that this was the Qingjuan but slightly introverted child who was not very talkative around Canxing, and laughed when he heard him talk about the things at the beginning of the year. "Ah... yes, I also happened to meet Canxing at that time, and he told me that you just happened to go back to your hometown for business, and I haven't seen you for more than two years, and you are so tall that I almost can't recognize..."

Kong Yan smiled and scratched his head, and said with a shy smile, "How is Mr. Xiao all these years? I have never heard from you, let alone my son, even I am worried."

Bai Ye on the other side is not happy when he hears it, Canxing misses Xiao Ran and he doesn't like it anymore, what are you little house slaves doing to join in the fun!He couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Kong Yan has followed Canxing for so many years, so he has seen the world, not to mention Mr. Bai Ye.He hurriedly gave Bai Ye a big gift. "Master Bai, long time no see."

Bai Ye raised his head and waved his hands casually. "Okay, okay, if you have nothing to do, you can go, we haven't eaten yet."

While talking, he dragged Xiao Ran away.

How could Xiao Ran break away from Bai Ye's hand, and besides, he was really hungry, so he turned around and said to Kong Yan: "Kong Yan, you told Canxing that I'm back, and I'll talk to him when I have time."

Seeing Bai Ye and Xiao Ran leaving together in such a way, Kong Yan was stunned for a moment.Although he and Canxing didn't know the specific entanglement between Bai Ye and Xiao Ran back then, just seeing Xiao Ran leave because of Bai Ye's bad words and Bai Ye's various things in the past two years... are weird things in the eyes of him and Canxing Come and see, it would be self-deceiving to say that there is nothing going on between these two.

At that time, Bai Ye's words were so ruthless, they were so used to the indifference of human feelings, they didn't feel cold in their teeth, let alone Xiao Ran who let Bai Ye in his heart, otherwise why would Xiao Ran leave?

Why should you be disheartened?

How come it's time to recognize Bai Ye and Mr. Bai's vicious true colors, right?

Why did they get together again after only two years?

Why did the scene where Bai Ye dragged Mr. Xiao away just now, people felt something was wrong just now?

Scratching his head in empty words, he turned around and ran towards the Deyi Building.

I have to discuss this matter with his son!
