136: We don't know each other
The cow steward was shocked, and while handing over the lantern, he said, "Master, the old slave just went and invited Miss Seven to come over, why should you go yourself." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"It's cold at night!" continued Steward Niu, "it's not good for you!"
Since the master fell into the water a few years ago, he has been very cold since he woke up.
Especially in winter, I rarely go out.
Although it has not snowed yet, the cold wind at night is biting, and it is not suitable for the cold master to go out and walk around.
Bai Congjian heard this and smiled lightly, "That's different!"
With that, he gathered the cloak he wore on his body, and disappeared into the night with the lantern, leaving the cow steward with a confused face.
Not the same?
What's the difference?
The cow steward was puzzled.
The night was dark, and Bai Congjian seemed to be able to hear the sound of the wind carrying the horse's hooves to bring some different sounds to the silent night.
His steps were even more urgent.
At night, the south courtyard of Baifu seemed very deserted, his steps were very steady and neat, even if the candlelight in the lantern in his hand was not bright, he did not stop all the way.
When approaching the study, Bai Congjian's steps froze slightly.
Not far away, there was a dim light overflowing, but it added a touch of warmth to the cold night. Bai Congjian was stunned, then showed a faint smile, and then walked to the porch of the study.
When two octagonal palace lamps were lit in the corner of the living room, Xiao Ziyu sat on a chair, heard the movement outside the house, and immediately raised his head to look over. Her expression was calm, there was still a trace of residual exhaustion between her eyebrows, she still held a nine-section whip in her hand, and the hard metal in the not bright room, glowing with a stern luster, made her whole person look very dignified.
Xiao Ziyu heard the movement outside the house, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he met his warm and smiling gaze.
She got up from her chair and called, "Childe!"
She didn't come at the right time.
At this moment, Bai Congjian was a little different from her previous two encounters, perhaps because he was awakened in his sleep, his hair bun and dress were a little casual, which gave him an innate elegance with a touch of elegant atmosphere.
Bai Congjian didn't notice her gaze, and his smile was still the same as when he first met her, with a gentle smile.
He walked into the house, put the lantern away, and waited for Twelve to bring tea before he spoke, "Don't worry, you can drink some ginseng tea to warm your stomach first." ”
She was, he remembered, just as chilly as he was.
In the autumn, he already put on a small jacket and a thick cloak.
She came on horseback, and there was a lot of cold wind blowing along the way, and there was no stove in the house. Her cheeks, which were originally ruddy, were also a little pale at the moment.
Bai Congjian's words made Xiao Ziyu speechless for a while.
He didn't even ask himself what he wanted after coming here and returning the beads. On the contrary, it was the same as the first time they met, and the tone and attitude were familiar to let her drink tea to warm up, and she spoke without hurry, as if they had known each other for a long time and were very familiar.
Xiao Ziyu lowered her head, picked up the tea that people put in front of her eyes, and drank it all.
The ginseng tea was warm, and the chill in her bones was swept away.
She was silent for a moment before she put her messy thoughts together.
"Tonight, I'm sorry to disturb my son's rest!" Xiao Ziyu didn't dare to look up at the look of the person in front of him after putting down the teacup.
She knew that many people in this world might have compassion, but Bai Congjian would not.
Righteousness does not manage money, and goodness does not serve as officials.
How can a person who can take care of the Bai family's business in an orderly manner at a young age be a person who is easy to deal with?
Bai Congjian sighed when he heard this, "Then you, are you really here to return the Buddha beads?"
"I naturally do. Xiao Ziyu took out the Venus Rosewood Buddha from his cuffs with some uneasiness and handed it to Bai Congjian, "However, I still have a reluctant request!"
At this time, the light in the house is not bright.
She lifted her hand, revealing a slender wrist.
The Dongzhu inlaid in the bracelet on her wrist emitted a soft white light under the candle flame, and the light was smooth and transparent.
Her petite body, in this soft light, looks extraordinarily delicate.
Today's Xiao Ziyu wears a plain color of clothes, and his hair is a little messy because of the gallop on horseback. In fact, Xiao Ziyu, who has a fair complexion, is more suitable for brightly colored clothes, rather than such a faint and inky appearance.
Bai Congjian did not take the Buddha beads she handed over, but smiled faintly, his voice low and gentle, "You talk about it first, I may not be able to help you!"
"I heard that Gongzi, you have a hundred-year-old Korean ginseng in your hand!" Xiao Ziyu didn't dare to look at Bai Congjian's eyes, but lowered his eyes, "I think...... Asking for a son......"
She really couldn't say the words to let Bai Congjian give her Korean ginseng.
Although she doesn't know how to see a doctor or help her pulse, she also knows that this Korean ginseng is beneficial to Bai Congjian's condition. Otherwise, of course, Princess Danyang would not deliberately leave this ginseng.
For Bai Congjian, this Korean ginseng may also be a lifesaver.
She's a bit of a strong man.
Xiao Ziyu knew that her approach was a bit selfish, but she couldn't bear to watch her mother die in front of her eyes, so she made up her mind when she came to the Bai family. If Bai Congjian is willing to sell this Korean ginseng to her, even if she is a cow and a horse in this life, she will repay his kindness.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ziyu slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and prepared to kneel.
When she came to Baifu today, she had already thrown away all her dignity. She has nothing to give Bai Congjian......
However, as soon as she bent her knees, her wrists were grabbed from above.
The man's palms were wide and gentle and powerful, and there were tiny calluses on her fingertips, which made her feel a little restless.
Bai Congjian helped Xiao Ziyu up, but did not immediately withdraw the hand holding her wrist. His tone was still the same as before, gentle and gentle, "You don't have to beg me. ”
After Bai Congjian's words were finished, Xiao Ziyu's heart was half cold.
She didn't dare to look at Bai Congjian's sharp gaze, she only felt cold all over, and wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain.
She was indeed abrupt.
"If you want, I can give it to you!" Bai Congjian looked at the girl in front of him, his voice low like spring water dripping on a stone, "But, you must know that no one in this world will be good to you for no reason." ”
If someone else said this, Xiao Ziyu would definitely think about it.
But when this sentence came out of Jane's mouth, she felt a little different.
She raised her head, and her gaze met Bai Congjian's.
The Bai Congjian in his memory should be older, and he also has a few silver threads on his temples.
She thought for a moment before asking, "Do you and I know each other?" I mean, a long time ago!"
Not in this life, but in a past life. (To be continued.) )
