The wedding dress wraps the sword, Bo Jun smiles

As the son of Lord Hou, Bai Shuwen was not coddled at all.In other words, it's not that she's not coddled, but she's gentle on the outside and resolute on the inside, so she can bear any anger and all hardships.

Only after meeting him did You Jianqing feel that some people's personalities really have nothing to do with their family background and upbringing, it's really just their nature.Generally speaking, if you were born into a noble family, you should have a bit of a temper, right?But Bai Shuwen has no temper at all, and his personality is as soft as a white bun.

But having no temper does not mean that you have no persistence.It would be embarrassing for this guy to be stubborn, and You Xiyue had no chance of winning if he wanted to fight with him.

In his view, right is right and wrong is wrong.What should be done should be done, and what should not be done must not be done.You Xiyue herself may easily change her mind on many things because she has too little experience and is not smart enough.But Bai Shuwen is not the case. Because he is smart, he is stubborn, and he will not turn his back on what he believes.

In the past, he agreed to help You Xiyue escape from marriage. Along the way, he came up with countless strange ideas and suffered countless hardships that he had never experienced before, but he never complained or was discouraged.But now that he promised to help You Xiyue to get her parents' understanding, she just focused on this aspect and didn't think about other things at all.

When Ye Xingguan and You Jianqing were about to leave, they took a look at them and found that Bai Shuwen was actually teaching You Xiyue to make the lion's head with crab powder that Chu Hongyan likes most.As a girl, You Xiyue is clumsy and can't learn it, but the point is that Bai Shuwen is originally a young master from the capital city, and the crab meat and lion head is a very complicated feature of Huaiyang cuisine. Famous dish, when and where did he learn it?

Regarding this question from his sweetheart brother, Bai Shuwen said frankly that he found a small restaurant and secretly learned it because he heard that it was Chu Hongyan's favorite dish.

As for the process of stealing... roughly, he went to a restaurant and ate a bowl of Yangchun noodles worth twelve cents, and then used the excuse of not having money as an excuse to commit himself to work as a laborer for a whole day. Write down the general process.

Of course, the specific situation is not so simple.

Bai Shuwen said: "I know this dish is difficult to learn, but it is also a famous dish in Huainan. I think many restaurants, large and small, can cook it. I dare not go to the Zhaixing Building in Nanzhou. Since such a big restaurant uses this dish It is famous, compared to the production process, there must be some secret recipes, and the kitchen must be more strictly guarded, and people will not accept labor to pay off debts, maybe I will be beaten and thrown out to relieve my anger."

"Small restaurants will be more concerned about such losses. I'm fine with it. A bowl of Yangchun noodles is probably enough for me to do for a day. I chose to go to the market day, and the number of customers on the market day is lower than usual. If you want more, the more sincere I am, the more likely the shopkeeper will agree to me."

Ye Xingguan also sighed a little at his meticulous and ready-to-do thoughts, and rarely condescended to ask: "You will be able to see it?"

Bai Shuwen shyly said: "I just learned a little bit. But I didn't expect to do well at first, as long as Miss You can learn the general idea, and let Mrs. You know her intentions."

But Miss You has learned to turn her eyes around, didn't you notice?

At the end when Ye Xingguan and the two left, You Xiyue still hadn't learned this dish.She is impatient and not careful enough. Almost every time she does it, there will be big and small mistakes. In the end, Bai Shuwen is required to clean up the mess.

The little girl didn't have much patience at first, and she wanted to give up after she broke it a few times.But although Bai Shuwen's persuasive tone was soft, his attitude was very firm.He knows how to boost You Xiyue's morale, using emotion to understand reason, in short, to maximize You Xiyue's dependence and guilt on her parents, so as to urge her to persevere.

Regarding You Xiyue's repetition and lack of perseverance, Ye Xingguan probably watched a cup of tea time, and felt extremely angry and wanted to hit her with a sword hilt. You Jianqing was better, and he persisted for about half an hour before finally Holding back a helpless and wry smile, he ran out to play with Ye Xingguan, leaving the two of them to continue studying with each other in the rented yard.

It happened that there was a tea house opposite the yard that You Xiyue rented, so You Jianqing ran over and saw Ye Xingguan sitting there drinking tea as expected.

But the person sitting opposite him was a disciple of Mingjian Villa, You Jianqing's younger brother.

The two were sitting next to the table facing the street, and that position happened to be able to see the situation in the small courtyard opposite.You Jianqing asked his junior brother: "My mother asked you to come?"

The younger brother replied: "Master is worried about my younger sister."

Ever since she knew what happened to You Xiyue on the way from Nanzhou to Yuhang, Chu Hongyan couldn't feel at ease.Even if You Jianqing told her that although Bai Shuwen had never practiced martial arts, he still had some ability, Chu Hongyan didn't believe it all, so he sent people to watch secretly all the time.

"Besides," the younger brother continued, "Recently, because of the arrival of your fleet, Senior Brother Ye, there are more foreign businessmen in Nanzhou City, and most of them are going to Yuhang. Teacher's wife always feels that there are too many people. Miscellaneous is prone to accidents, so let me keep an eye on it."

You Jianqing also noticed that the number of foreign merchants in the city has increased significantly recently, and most of them are for the newly arrived seafood.But this is also the practice in spring and autumn every year, so he didn't care much about it.

When the three of them were chatting, they suddenly heard a commotion, and then a young scholar ran in and shouted: "Great victory at Shanhaiguan! Great victory at Shanhaiguan! General Bai led the army to kill more than [-] Jurchen soldiers, save me!" The country has been peaceful for several years—rejoice, everyone!"

There was an uproar in the teahouse.

Speaking of the imperial court's foreign wars this year, it can be said that each one is more joyful than the other.At the beginning of the year, Ye Xingguan led the navy to kill the Japanese pirates along the coast, ensuring the safety of the caravans in the near sea, which already attracted the joy of all the cities in the Jiangnan Road.

Now the Marquis of Dingbei killed the Jurchen's surprise attack and killed more than [-] enemy soldiers, at least keeping the northern border safe for three to five years, no wonder everyone was so happy.

For this reason, Ye Xingguan and You Jianqing decided that it was time to return—since there had been urgent news from Nanzhou, then Yuhang should naturally have one.And the victory report over there will only be more detailed, Ye Xingguan happened to go back to find out the actual battle situation.

Before leaving, You Jianqing noticed that Bai Shuwen's expression was complicated and tangled. He knew that the news had caused him to miss his family, but he didn't say much.

Maybe it's because the actions of Bai Shuwen and You Xiyue in the past few days have reached You Xin's ears through the mouth of the younger brother who supervised the two, or maybe it's because the battle report from Dingbeihou has pleased You Xin and made him He also loves the house somewhat. After Ye Xingguan and You Jianqing left, You Xin's attitude towards You Xiyue was a little softer. At least he allowed her to bring Bai Shuwen in when she went back to the village for a meal on the first and fifteenth day of the new year. It made the little girl overjoyed.

However, You Xin still did not allow his daughter to return to the village. Although he secretly made people watch the two of them to prevent them from wandering around, his face was still calm and did not show any signs of expression.

On the way back to Yuhang, You Jianqing and Ye Xingguan hurried back.This rushing was a true fulfillment of a saying, gossip is faster than a horse.By the time they entered the border of Yuhang, various rumors and stories about the Battle of Shanhaiguan had already spread.

However, these stories are still told with sound and color. If some of the contents are not too legendary and absurd, Ye Xingguan might really take it seriously.

However, after talking about it too many times, Ye Xingguan still has some doubts about whether these stories are true.

The main reason is that there are some untrue rumors in the rivers and lakes mixed in this story.

But it is said that in the Jurchen royal family, there is a person called the national teacher, who is a beautiful monk with high martial arts skills. During the chaos, he almost attacked the city wall three times. Pull the bow and force it down.

Rumors made the duel between Jurchen national teacher Yundan and that young general Shi Hanqing so earth-shattering that it almost became the key to the outcome of this battle. Ye Xingguan just smiled when he heard it.

Because he is also a first-class master in the Jianghu, he knows that among thousands of troops, one or two masters can't decide the outcome of a battle.The so-called taking the head of an enemy general among thousands of troops may not be impossible, but the difficulty is definitely not something that can be overcome by just relying on one person's strength.

In the art of war, there is a saying of "sitting in the middle of the army", which means that the generals of an army will never show off the bravery of ordinary people.And those soldiers who charge at the forefront, if they are brave enough, may be able to win a partial battle, but it is difficult to affect the outcome of the entire war.

However, as more and more people told similar stories, Ye Xingguan finally had an impression of these two characters in his mind.

The two of them were about to arrive at Hongye Mountain Villa that day, but because of the hot weather, they got off their horses and went into the teahouse to rest for a while, then they heard the related remarks again.

However, the rumors this time were different from those heard before.

The man who spoke was a man with a northern accent, and he said: "Don't believe me, brother, that Jurchen national teacher Yun Dan is really a terrifying person. He looks like a woman at first glance, but his methods are extremely powerful. Ruthless. It is said that he practiced the Zen of Joy, and the Jurchen captured many beautiful ladies for him to spoil..."

Another man said: "Didn't you say he was a monk? Why do you want a woman!?"

The man replied: "That's what you don't know. The monks in Tibet are very different from ours..."

But he talked about Huanxi Zen and the rules and style of Tibetan lamas.

The two were talking, but the latter man suddenly asked: "You said that monk and young general Shi have high martial arts skills, how is it compared to those two on the mountain?"

Those two were talking excitedly, and they didn't pay attention to the people around them, but they directly talked about Ye Xingguan and You Jianqing.

Jiangnan Dao, especially Yuhang, talked about the high martial arts, and pointed to the villa outside the city. Who else could he be talking about besides Ye Xingguan and You Jianqing?
