The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

When Bai Yan brought back a child, Uncle Xiao looked puzzled, but seeing that Bai Yan's face was not very good-looking, he still suppressed those questions.

"Arrange a yard for him, and find another boy of the same age, and use the one in the backyard for the study..." Bai Yan thought for a while, then lowered his head and asked the child, "What's your name?"

The child replied cautiously, "I don't know, people around me call me an outcast."

Bai Yan asked, "Qi Wang's 'Qi'?"

The child is ignorant. He once crawled into a private school and eavesdropped on it for a while. He probably knew a few commonly used words. He waved his fingers and said hesitantly, "Yes, the abandoned 'abandoned'..."

Bai Yan's face changed slightly, and a hint of distress flashed in his eyes. He rubbed the child's hair, thought for a while, and said, "You don't have a surname, why don't you follow my surname in the future, as for the name... just call it 'Qi' ', Bai Qi."

"No matter what your life experience is, I hope you will be safe and successful in the future, and no one will dare to despise you again." With the name "Qi", Bai Yan did not place too much pressure on him, but only wished him safety and success.

The child rubbed his eyes and cried, "Hmm..."

It all happened so suddenly, Bai Qi's tears were on his face, although he was very grateful, but the child was used to wandering, and he didn't feel safe enough, so he tightly held one of Bai Yan's fingers, for fear that he would regret it again.

"A Yan, the identity of this child..."

"I will entrust someone to handle the identity. From now on, he will be the second son of Baifu."

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention Uncle Xiao, everyone around and Bai Qi were shocked.

"A Yan, how is this possible!" Xiao Shu originally thought that Bai Yan had taken in a little bookboy because of his soft heart, but he didn't expect that he was actually a foster brother.

The two people who met by chance, how could Bai Yan be so casual, and I don't know if there is any hidden danger in this child's identity.

"It's just what suits my eyes. You don't need to mention this matter again, just follow my words." After speaking, Bai Yan handed Bai Qi to Luo Yun, and he went directly to the study.

The disaster relief matter looks simple, but in fact there are hidden dangers everywhere, Bai Yan can only go through everything by himself.

I was busy until sunset when someone knocked on the door.

"Enter."

The door opened with a creak, and Bai Qi came in carrying a huge tray with a lot of things on it, completely covering his face.

Bai Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he got up and went over to take it, "Why did you bring a little guy here? Be careful it's hot."

"I'm going to carry it myself..." The child timidly curled his fingers hanging by his side and kept curling up and down.

"You..." Bai Yan sighed. He originally thought that this child was in a similar situation to him before, but it was obvious that the two had different personalities.

Back then, Bai Yan was as down and out as he was, with cleaner clothes at most, but his personality was quite different.

Brought back to the Marquis Mansion by Marquis Pingjin, Bai Yan had never been treated lightly. Whenever someone spoke ill of him behind his back, Xiao Jiuqin would beat him up first.Furthermore, Bai Yan is not a person who is willing to be wronged, the Hou Mansion is so big, there are always places that Xiao Jiuqin can't take care of, at this time, Bai Yan will not be afraid of the nonsense of "people are under the roof", He tidied up people sullenly, and when he appeared in front of people again, he was still that cold young boy.

As for those who have been dealt with by him, how can they have the courage to go to the master.

From childhood to adulthood, Bai Yan has always believed that "one's grievances should be resolved by oneself", and a cowardly appearance like Bai Qi's is something he has never shown.

But despite this, Bai Yan still couldn't bear the pitiful look of the young man with watery eyes.

"Let others do these things in the future. You are still young, and you will not grow tall if you do these things." Bai Yan scratched his nose, and led the child towards the table.

"...Thank you." After a while, the faint voice of mosquitoes and flies sounded behind him.

Bai Yan was taken aback, then lowered his head and smiled at him, "You will be my younger brother from now on." He handed the chopsticks into Bai Qi's hands, "Now tell me to try?"

Bai Qi blushed, moved his lips, and finally whispered two words, "Brother, long..."

"It's too unfamiliar to be called 'elder brother', from now on I'll call him elder brother." Bai Yan coaxed, and rarely felt a little joy.

Bai Qi began to get nervous again, fingering and stirring, the two words were clearly on the edge of his mouth, but he just couldn't spit them out.

Seeing the little guy's temples dripping with sweat, Bai Yan rubbed his head comfortingly, "Forget it, we'll talk about the change of mouth after a while, it's always a trivial matter. Come, let's have dinner first."

There were so many dishes on the tray that he couldn't use them up by himself, so he asked someone to bring another pair of chopsticks.

Bai Yan never talked much, and Bai Qi was even more timid. The two finished their meal quietly, and someone came to clean up.People who only use half a bowl on weekdays, but with someone to accompany them, actually use a lot more, and the end result is that they are full.

"Did Luoyun show you around the mansion?" Bai Yan took Bai Qi to eat, and the two walked slowly along the path.

Bai Qi shook his head obediently, "Sister Luoyun is very busy..."

Because Bai Yan was about to leave, everyone in the Bai residence was so busy that they didn't even touch the ground, so they couldn't care less about Bai Qi. Moreover, this little guy didn't like to talk, and he just nestled in the yard all afternoon, without even a sense of existence.

"I'm going to go out in a few days, maybe I'll be out for a long time, you stay in the mansion obediently, temporarily ask a teacher to teach you to read, but you need to correct the problem of not being talkative, you are still young, you need to get in touch with others more, you know ?”

Perhaps it was because Xiao Jiuqin was too annoying when he was young, and Bai Yan was very patient. In addition, for some unknown reason, the obedient temperament of this little guy, Bai Qi, was more to his liking, so he was more gentle.

There are only a handful of times when he is like this, and if others see him, they will be shocked.

"Well, I'll be good." Bai Qi nodded slightly.

Bai Yan pursed his lips and led him for another walk, introducing all the places in the mansion.

Unknowingly walking to the main courtyard, Bai Yan stopped.

Bai Qi looked at him with some doubts, but Bai Yan's eyes seemed to have penetrated the courtyard gate and fell directly inside.A gust of wind blew by, lifting the corners of Bai Yan's clothes, and his hair brushed against his cheeks, suddenly looking a little wimpy.

"Brother, brother..." Bai Qi carefully touched Bai Yan's little finger, this kind of Bai Yan seemed to be blown away in the wind in the next moment.

"It's nothing." Bai Yan took his hand again, "Let's go."

The courtyard gate behind him moved away little by little, and was about to disappear from sight, Bai Qi suddenly looked back.

"Over there, what is it?" Bai Qi asked suspiciously, he was not curious about what was inside, but worried about Bai Yan who looked sad.

"It's... incompetent!" Bai Yan lost his mind, as if all his strength had been taken away.

----

Soon it was time to set off, and it rained for several days in a row, but on this day the weather turned out to be clear.

There was an uncomfortably damp feeling in the air, and Bai Yan leaned against the gate of the mansion with his sleeves in his hands, watching Uncle Xiao and the others busily busy.He didn't sleep well last night, the cold air was rushing through the cracks in his bones, and he almost couldn't stand still this morning and fell to the ground.

Luoyun was very worried, "Master, with his body like this, how can he bear it on the road!" She supported Bai Yan, "Let this slave follow you, so I can take care of you."

Bai Yan naturally refused, "It's chaotic there, what are you going to do as a woman, stay in the mansion with peace of mind, take care of Uncle Xiao and Bai Qi, don't worry about anything else."

Luoyun had no choice but to pick up all the things that could be used and put them on the car.

Bai Yan felt uncomfortable in every part of his body, watching everyone busy with work wearily.

"Brother..." In the past few days of getting along, Bai Qi finally lived up to Bai Yan's expectations. Although the little guy only knew how to cling to him all day long, he was finally willing to talk more.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yan saw that he was carrying a small bundle, which was so bulging that he didn't know what it was.

Bai Qi lowered his eyes, hesitated, and said, "I want to go with my brother." He was probably afraid that Bai Yan would be angry, and he didn't know how to organize his words, so he hesitated for a long time and said, "I bake the pancakes I ate on the way myself. Alright, this burden is enough, can brother... take me with you?"

Bai Yan had no choice but to pinch the burden in his hand, "It's not enough to bake the cakes, you still have to drive the cart, feed the horses, cook for everyone, and sleep in the grass full of bugs, so, are you willing to go? "

He deliberately teased the little guy, Bai Qi flinched subconsciously, but finally nodded, "I'm not afraid of bugs..."

Bai Yan couldn't help laughing, and for a moment his eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, as if he was a little more popular.

"I was teasing you just now. I went there on business. If I bring you along, I always have to worry more. Be good, stay in the mansion and study. When I come back, I have to check, you know?"

His tone is gentle, but every word and every word reveals a determination that cannot be opposed.

Bai Qi lowered his eyes, squeezed his fingers, and hummed softly.

"My lord, the things are packed, and we can go."

Bai Yan nodded and rubbed Bai Qi's head, "Go back." He walked down the steps slowly, and Uncle Xiao stood in front of him, his original firm face could not conceal his worry, "A Yan, your body ..."

"It's okay, I'll take care of myself." Bai Yan smiled, as if he had returned to five years ago, a gentleman, as always.

The carriage went away little by little, Bai Qi's eyes were red, and after spending a few days together like this, he had already grown dependent on Bai Yan.Uncle Xiao covered his head with his big hand and rubbed it lightly, "He will come back safely."

"En." Bai Qi replied with a teary tone.

The wind gradually picked up again, the leaves on the side of the street curled up and slowly fell in mid-air, the dampness stained the soles of the feet little by little, the coldness of autumn seemed to be slowly accumulated, and then penetrated into the bones little by little.

In the distance, the sound of hooves approached.

Bai Qi looked up.

"Where's Bai Yanren?" His clothes were thin, his sleeves were rolled up by the wind, revealing his tight forearms, as if he wasn't afraid of the cold at all.If one ignores the eagerness on his face, Bai Qi thinks he should be angry and resentful.

"Brother, let's go..." Bai Qi replied in a low voice.

"When did you leave?!" Xiao Jiuqin came galloping all the way, no matter how hard he was against the frost, the wind and frost on his face could not be faked.

"It's been a while." Uncle Xiao seemed to be pointing, "I can't catch up!"

Xiao Jiuqin's face changed slightly, but the next moment he saw his lips parted slightly:

"Others can't, I can!"
