[Lu Xiaofeng] Baixuechuqi

Strolling on the street, Ximen Chuuxue and Bai Qi appreciatively looked at the city of Hangzhou, which they had just arrived in.

Just after the rainy season, the exquisite small buildings covered with bricks and tiles are shiny, the streets paved with large stone bricks are smooth and tidy, the river winding the whole town is full of sparkling lights, and the single-oared black-covered boats are floating on the water. Shuttle between bridge holes.

The city of Hangzhou is still beautiful and picturesque, and the business of shops in various places is still good, but compared to the past, it is slightly rarer.

Although the faces of the people were smiling, Dai Ze was always a bit sad. Even the beautiful scenery along the way lacked the figures of young girls holding oil-paper umbrellas. Instead, there were more serious officials walking back and forth.

Walking to a restaurant, I asked for a private room, and some local specialties in Hangzhou. The two sat down to rest, and prepared to plan the next itinerary.

Previously, it was agreed with Lu Xiaofeng at Wanmei Mountain Villa that the two of them would go to Wudang to pay homage to him, to meet him.

But now, Lu Xiaofeng has Ye Gucheng with him, so there is no need for them two, right?

So, the two of them were going to be lazy and go back later.

What's more, Taoist Mu will not kill Lu Xiaofeng, he will only lock him up. Moreover, Taoist Mu's force is not as powerful as Ye Gucheng, so the two of them are completely anxious.

Just after ordering, Bai Qi suddenly spotted a middle-aged man in his 50s walking past in a hurry on the street downstairs.

"Huh? Isn't that what Manager He is doing?"

Searching through his memory, Bai Qi remembered, isn't this just the old-fashioned, old-fashioned, funny-looking steward He Guanshi from "Hefangzhai" in the capital?

Why is he here?

Glancing lightly, Ximen Chuixue said: "He is no longer in charge."

Hearing this, Bai Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Why?"

Frowning, Ximen Chuuxue said disgustedly: "It's my father who promoted him to be a steward himself, and wrote letters to ask me to marry a wife and have children."

There is nothing wrong with the reason of 'marrying a wife and having children', but the problem is that the previous owners of Wanmei Villa and their other half are destined: only the descendants of Ximen who can pass unimpeded on Lingshan Mountain can become the previous owners, and the other half of them are Taoist companions. , and must be able to come and go freely on Lingshan.

Just like he and Bai Qi are like this, so are his parents, grandpa and grandma, generations of ancestors and their Taoist companions are like this, every generation, only two people compound this ancestral teaching, never Exception too.

"Pfft!" Choking on a sip of tea, Bai Qi was amazed at Manager He's perseverance after being warned, and said worriedly, "However, it's not good to be dismissed or transferred because of this?"

"It's not just that." Ximen Chuixue said, "Mr. Zhao found out that he had pocketed the wages of the workers and was suspected of leaking information, so he was demoted."

"Outside leaking information?!" Bai Qi was shocked, "Then still use him?"

"There is not enough evidence." Ximen Chuixue said, "The current job is to test him."

"So that's how it is." Bai Qi nodded clearly, then thought of something, and said in doubt, "By the way, I'm a little strange."

"Ok?"

"Last time in the capital, why did he say that Ximen's family would 'cut off their sons and grandchildren'?" Bai Qi asked suspiciously, "Didn't he know that the eldest brother and the second brother are already fathers with children?" And they are still sons I have daughters, so I don't have to worry about the problem of 'no offspring'.

It felt as if the other party didn't know the existence of the three brothers.

I didn't think about it or think about it much at the time, but now that I think about it, it's a bit weird.

"He really didn't know the existence of the three brothers." Knowing what the other party was thinking, Ximen Chuixue said, "He also thought that my father and mother had already passed away."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Bai Qi's eyes widened in surprise—although he had thought of it a little before, but after being confirmed, he couldn't help being very surprised.

As if it wasn't shocking enough, Ximen Chuuxue added another sentence: "Except for the internal core personnel of Wanmei Villa, no one knows that my parents are still here."

In other words, the whole world thought that the old owner and his wife had passed away?

Bai Qi asked curiously, "Why?"

"I can't tell for now." After thinking for a while, Ximen Chuuxue said seriously, "I will tell you later."

"Success." Presumably this matter is of great importance, so Bai Qi didn't ask any more questions, "Then we are going to face that Manager He again in a while?"

To be honest, he really didn't want to see that old man again, and he was disrespectful to the old man casually, but he was really disgusted when he saw him.

"No." Ximen Chuixue said, "Let's go to 'Xue Ji'."

"Oh."

Nodding, Bai Qi obediently wiped away the dishes on the table, then followed Ximen Chuixue to the foothold, Wanmei Villa's largest property in Hangzhou, 'Xue Ji'.

'Xue Ji' is a long-established oil-paper umbrella shop, which specializes in oil-paper umbrellas of various colors and patterns, which are exquisite and beautiful.

The shop owner's surname is Xue and his name is Ji Yu. He is only in his thirties this year. He has a gentle appearance and an amiable personality. He looks like a serious frail scholar.

Xue Jiyu warmly welcomed Ximen Chuuxue and Bai Qi's arrival.

'Xue Ji' was originally a long-established paper umbrella shop in Hangzhou, but it was forced to helpless because it offended the powerful 12 years ago. It was about to go bankrupt, but at the critical moment, it received the help of Wanmei Villa to restore its reputation And made a comeback.

In order to express his kindness, and in order not to suffer innocent disasters in the future, Xue Ji voluntarily became the property under the name of Wanmei Villa.

But this store is still managed by the Xue family themselves, as long as [-]% of the profits are handed over to Wanmei Villa every year, there are not too many restrictions on other things.

Therefore, the Xue family is very grateful to Wanmei Villa.

Like 'Hefangzhai', behind 'Xueji', there is a small building dedicated to the owner of Wanmei Villa. It is not big, just two floors. The upper part is the bedroom and study room, and the lower part is the kitchen and hall, with a small yard. .

Originally, Steward Xue was going to ask the servants to clean up the small building, because he didn't know that the two of them were coming, and the room had to be cleaned before people could live in it.

However, Bai Qi politely refused, because no matter where, even in Wanmei Villa, he would manage and clean the house Ximen Chuuxue wanted to live in.

One is, if the proprietor is obsessed with cleanliness, all the expenses are specially prepared by the butler, and after that, only he, Bai Qi, is responsible for it.

The second is that it is his duty as a partner to clean up Fubuki's house, so he cannot entrust it to others.

"So, thank you Steward Xue for your kindness, we appreciate it." Bai Qi smiled and said, "You just need to prepare hot water for us to bathe in."

"Okay." Xue Guan smiled knowingly, and then retreated.

Ximen Chuuxue looked at Bai Qi who was busy tidying up the room, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Big Brother~~Big Brother~~~~"

At the same time, in a courtyard near the yamen, a white-clothed boy ran into the study with great force, and said to another white-clothed man who was studying hard before the case, "Elder brother~~ I saw two people!"

If Bai Qi or Lu Xiaofeng were here, they would definitely recognize him. This person is one of Emei's only surviving twin heroes, Yan Renying.

"Yo~~ Not bad." The person called Yingfeng is of course Zhang Yingfeng, without raising his head, he said, "Since you saw someone? It's amazing."

"Oh! I'm not joking with you!" Yan Renying climbed to the edge of the table, trying to reach out to pull the other party's sleeve, but retracted halfway, and said, "I'm telling you something serious! I..."

"Brother Zhang!"

At this time, a call came from outside the door, interrupting Yan Renying's words.

"Ah, Brother Wu is here." Zhang Yingfeng stood up, walked around the table, and greeted him outside the door.

"Hey..." Yan Renying sighed helplessly, and followed to the door.

Master Wu, the magistrate of Hangzhou City, is an old acquaintance of Zhang Yingfeng.

This time, Zhang Yingfeng, who had been expelled from the mountain gate, took his follower Yan Renying through Hangzhou, met Mr. Wu, and after learning about the flower picker, he took the initiative to stay and help arrest the villain. One of the reasons why the other party is not spoiling young women anymore.

However, although Zhang Yingfeng and Yan Renying's martial arts were higher than that of the thief, their lightness skills were slightly inferior, and the other party also made some messy things, so they couldn't catch him.

Wu Zhixian said very enthusiastically: "Brother Zhang, I came here uninvited. I have something to do with you. Please forgive me!"

"Where, if it wasn't for Brother Wu, my junior brother and I would be wandering around." Zhang Yingfeng smiled and led people into the house, then turned his head and told Yan Renying, "You go to practice, your recent progress is a bit slow, Much more work is needed.”

"But..." Yan Renying said hesitantly - he still has something to say!

Zhang Yingfeng smiled kindly and said: "Hey, Brother Wu and I have something important to discuss, you go to practice, if there is anything, we can talk about it later."

"Ok."

Yan Renying walked out of the door unhappily, then, standing in the yard, looked back at the study for a long time, and then sighed lightly.

To leave, or to stay, shouldn't he really think about it?

For my own good, but also for the good of... the elder brother.

【I personally think it would be more mysterious to post the third watch later...】

[If I don’t go up for a while, I’ll be even better tomorrow’s chapter]

[If the internet is still this bad tomorrow, I think I should call someone to check it out]
