Xiao Shaotang's eyes seemed to appear in front of him last winter, Bai Chenghuan was on the streets where the snow was falling into ice, waving a big horse in his hand to open the way for him.

He can be indomitable on the battlefield, he can go into the bandits' den alone, but when he returns to this place, he is always full of cowardice.

Returning to this home that made him full of attachment, but did not dare to appear openly, she was always opening the way for him.

How cowardly is he when you think about it?

A thought flashed, Xiao Shaotang completely put aside the last uneasiness, strode forward and stood beside her, buttoning the knocker on the black lacquer door.

Bai Chenghuan stood beside him, his eyes blooming with joy.

She didn't want this place to become a knot in his heart for the rest of his life.

"Anyone?" he shouted.

There was a dead silence inside the door, and no one answered the door for a long time.

Xiao Shaotang felt a trace of panic in his heart, and slapped a few more times.

The He family's old house has been going through nearly a hundred years, how can there be no voice all of a sudden?

He simply took a few steps back and looked around the fence of the gatehouse to the left and right.

"What are you ......" Bai Chenghuan couldn't quite understand what he was going to do.

Xiao Shaotang had a look of nostalgia on his face:

"When I was young, I used to sneak out of this low wall to fight with people while the porter was not paying attention, and there were many precautions in the walls of other places, but this gate, because it was guarded, often took advantage of it. ”

"Oh, are you going to jump in again like you did back then?"

Bai Chenghuan stretched out his hand and grabbed him:

"Let's wait, or, let's go back to the Bai family first and inquire before we come. You have to know that this is not the case. ”

Xiao Shaotang looked at the familiar gatehouse and wall, and suddenly woke up.

This is no longer the warm home he had when he was young, and the He family today is full of unknowns and unfamiliarity for him.

"Okay, let's go first. ”

Xiao Shaotang took Bai Chenghuan's hand, stood silently for a moment, and strode away.

Bai Chenghuan sighed silently, in the entire Great Qi, if there is any place that makes Xiao Shaotang completely lose his guard, it is probably the He family.

The two got back on their horses and headed towards the Bai family.

After they left, the door of the He family opened with a "squeak", and a white-haired old man poked his head out and looked left and right, seeing that there was no one, he muttered angrily, and slowly withdrew his head and closed the door.

"These boys, seeing that there is no one in the He family, have all bullied the door!"

A gust of wind swept the old man's low muttering to himself.

In front of the gate of the Bai family, it is still the same as before, a clean bluestone road, and when you step on it, it will always make people feel very down-to-earth.

Li only heard that someone came to report that her nephew in Jiangzhou brought her nephew and daughter-in-law to see her, and she was immediately confused - she had a nephew in Jiangzhou, but how could she not send a letter in advance, and at this time she came all the way from thousands of miles?

And remembering the last time her "Jiangzhou nephew" came to the door, the Li family was not good - could it be the king of Jin again?

Mrs. Wang, who was sitting on the side, was a little unhappy when she saw that Li didn't speak for a long time and didn't know what was going on.

"Mrs. Bai, although the daughter of Wang Xiucai's family is not top-notch in appearance, but she is also a well-read and scholarly woman, do you want to, but give me a word!"

Li Shi woke up and nodded again and again:

"What you said is that Miss Wang is a good person, but I still have to discuss this matter with our master before I can make an idea. ”

Mrs. Wang was completely impatient, stood up and said goodbye:

"Mrs. Bai, if you don't agree, it's okay, and you don't have to coax me with this, your Lord Bai doesn't know that he is still suppressing bandits in that mountain valley!

Li remembered Bai Xianghuan's evasive attitude of refusing to say goodbye, so he could only accept the tone of Mrs. Wang's wife, and politely sent Mrs. Wang out.

As soon as I walked to the front yard, I saw a man and a woman standing at the gate, talking to Steward Chen.

As soon as he saw Li come out, the young man ran over first and shouted affectionately:

"Auntie, nephew to meet aunt!"

When Li Shi heard this voice, he trembled, and immediately looked at the woman with a plain face, only to see that the woman also walked over in small steps and curtsied:

"My nephew and daughter-in-law have seen my aunt!"

Tears burst out of Li's eyes, and he hurriedly wiped them away, and helped Bai Chenghuan:

"No need to be polite, no need to be polite! you are so far away, but how did you get here?"

On the other hand, Mrs. Wang, who was snubbed again, stared at the two of them with dead eyes for a few moments, and then smiled:

"This is my wife's nephew? He looks burly, and when he looks closely, he looks like a man from our north!"

Li Shi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around, ordered someone to take them in first, and talked to Mrs. Wang a few words, and sent her out.

Then he immediately ordered someone to close the gate, and rushed to the main courtyard in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door of the courtyard, he could hear the sound of Bai Xianghuan talking to them.

Li didn't say a word, he kicked the door with his foot in, grabbed Bai Chenghuan's hand, and wanted to smile at her but cried bitterly:

"Huanniang, are you injured? Are you going to kill me in a hurry?! They all said that you hit a pillar in the palace, and people everywhere spread the ...... You, you're going to pick my heart, liver, spleen and lungs, aren't you?!"

With such an endless loving reprimand, Bai Chenghuan has already felt it once with Mrs. Weibei Hou, and this time he is already quite experienced, so he knelt down and pleaded guilty without saying a word.

"Mother, this is all your daughter's, it makes you worried, so your daughter came to see you in person to make you feel at ease, and it's up to you to beat or scold!"

Li was willing to beat and scold her, and it was another cry to hold her.

The mother and daughter here are crying and coaxing, and Xiao Shaotang next to her suddenly trembled a little in Bai Xianghuan's knife-like eyes.

Bai Xianghuan glanced at him fiercely a few times before he spoke:

"Come out for a walk with me!"

Xiao Shaotang touched his nose and followed out with low eyebrows.

Speaking of which, his life is not easy now, because he went to the southwest and left Bai Chenghuan alone in the capital, and now his father-in-law and mother-in-law in both places are full of complaints against him, and Bai Xianghuan, his former best friend and current eldest brother, is afraid that he does not intend to let him go.

The two walked out of the main courtyard, Bai Xianghuan walked all the way to the edge of the lotus pond in the backyard, and Xiao Shaotang only lowered his head and followed.

The lotus pond was close to drying up because of the drought last year, and the lotus flowers in it that were not very good had already died, and several places in the pond were exposed with dry silt.

But thinking of Bai Chenghuan, he was very happy.

Who would have thought that the crazy woman he saw for the first time in the Bai family would eventually become his most beloved woman?

When Xiao Shaotang was secretly sighing, Bai Chenghuan suddenly spoke:

"Actually, I regret a little, I shouldn't have let you come to our Bai family in the first place. ”

Xiao Shaotang was worried:

"Why did the eldest brother say this?"

"You don't know in your own heart?" Bai Xianghuan looked at this former friend who he was envious of at the beginning, but now he can't say what he feels, and he is indignant:

"Although Huan Niang was originally crazy and stupid, but at least she would not get involved in the brainless things outside, if she didn't know you at the beginning, and then found someone to marry, why worry about following you?"

This...... Although he felt that the eldest brother's words were a little remote, Xiao Shaotang could only bow down and be small at this time, and admit all his mistakes:

"Yes, yes, it's all mine, but please rest assured, my uncle will definitely protect Cheng Huan in the future, and I will never let her be wronged, I would rather lose my head than let her lose her life!"

"All right!

Bai Xianghuan has now made up his mind to put his eldest brother's style to the fullest, and he must let Xiao Shaotang know the stakes and dare not bully his sister, so he reprimanded with a straight face:

"If you lose your head, my sister will become a widow! To tell you the truth, if my sister becomes a widow, I will definitely let her remarry, so you cherish your life! Be kind to my sister, otherwise my father and I will never let you go!"

Xiao Shaotang wiped the sweat from his forehead and agreed, but he still glanced at Bai Xianghuan in shock, he really couldn't believe it, this was the weak scholar Bai Xianghuan at the beginning!

Bai Xianghuan understood his eyes, and snorted coldly:

"Don't think I'm talking badly, if you have a sister, you can try!"

"Yes, yes, the eldest brother taught me!"

Xiao Shaotang is very related in his heart, is this bullying him for not having a sister?

So he asked without fear of death:

"But I remember who said that Cheng Huan was a scourge, wasn't it the eldest brother?"

Bai Xianghuan's face darkened instantly-not to mention that those ignorant people could die in the past?!

Seeing this, Xiao Shaotang was very satisfied, and changed the topic very interestingly:

"Does my eldest brother know what is going on in the He family, what is happening now? Why did I go and no one opened the door?"

This time it was Bai Xianghuan's turn to look at Xiao Shaotang in surprise:

"The people of the He family have already moved their clan, don't you know?"

Xiao Shaotang was stunned, did his father really say that the people of the moving clan had moved the clan?

Facing Xiao Shaotang is the posture of a standard strong brother, and facing Bai Chenghuan in private, Bai Xianghuan changed another face.

"When you were crazy and stupid, I disliked you, and then you got better, and I often didn't deal with you, now I think about it, it's all me who is my brother, my brother will make amends to you, and I hope you don't worry about my confused brother, our brother and sister, can release the previous suspicions. ”

Bai Xianghuan first said to Bai Chenghuan with sincerity, and then saluted Bai Chenghuan seriously, so frightened that Bai Chenghuan almost fell off the chair:

"Brother, you, what's wrong with you? I've never really bothered with you......"

My brother wants to talk to her alone, is that to say?

Bai Xianghuan waved his hand:

"You don't have to look like a ghost, it's just that in the past year, my father has been running around hard, my mother is worried about you, and I have seen a lot of things outside, so I slowly realized that I was a useless person in the past. ”

"I really don't love your sister enough...... I don't talk so much about the past now, it's always my fault as a brother. But my brother knows that you are now determined to follow Xiao Shaotang and pull the emperor down from the dragon chair, just like when you told me that you wanted to go out to see the world, but you actually wanted to enter Beijing in the name of the draft. ”

Hearing Bai Xianghuan reveal her original intention so clearly, Bai Chenghuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"At the beginning, it was I who insisted on going my own way, which made my mother and brother worried......"

"When I say this now, I don't want to blame you, it's just that you won't be by my father's side and my mother in the future, and I don't want to leave regrets in my heart. ”

Bai Xianghuan looked at her with a very warm gaze, and in a trance, Bai Chenghuan could hardly connect the gentle-speaking man in front of him with the white Xianghuan who was blushing and thick-necked with her.

Bai Xianghuan continued:

"Just like everything that happened to you, I used to be very unable to figure it out, and then my mother persuaded me, don't think about it if you can't figure it out, in short, you are my sister who has been a headache since childhood, I want to think about it, and it is indeed this truth, so, I want to tell you, no matter what you did at the beginning, since you have come to this point, no matter what you do in the future, we will not object, but you must protect yourself, you have to remember, Yuzhou and your father and brother, for you day and night. ”

"Brother......

Bai Chenghuan was deeply moved from the bottom of her heart, and such warm words from her brother made her suddenly burst into tears.

When she was reborn in this strange home, she thought that there would only be misfortune and gloom in her life.

But it wasn't until now that she finally let go, because under this haze, she got how many hearts that didn't belong to her.

"I will definitely take good care of myself, my father and mother still want my brother to bother more, it is my unfilial piety. ”

Bai Chenghuan wiped away his tears and returned the salute with a smile. Then a decision was made:

"Brother, if everything is safe for us in the future, it would be the best, but Xiao Shaotang and I have been doing things with unknown and uncertain future since the day we left the capital, if it really comes to the day of no return, I also ask my brother to persuade my father to make a decision as soon as possible and move my name out of the family tree, so as not to cause trouble to my family!"

Bai Xianghuan saw that she said solemnly, and understood that what she said was not frustrating for no reason.

Chasing the world, it sounds like a fluttering four words, but when you do it, it is often a mountain of blood and corpses.

He simply nodded: "Sister, just rest assured, when that day comes, I have my own plan in my heart." ”

At the beginning, my father and mother took so much effort to write my sister's name into the family tree, in order to get married in the future, but now this problem no longer exists, and it really comes to that point, he will naturally not be pedantic enough to let the Bai family cut off children and grandchildren.

When the two finished talking and went to see Li, Li only looked at Bai Chenghuan's eyes with red circles, thinking that it was his son who recruited his daughter and was unhappy, and scolded Bai Xianghuan, which made Bai Chenghuan cry and laugh.

Speaking of the relocation of the He family, the Li family sighed very much.

"There are many people in the He family, and they all pay attention to the hot land, so it is naturally impossible for everyone to agree, and Master He did not say anything about this matter, and quietly used the means to do it, and left in batches. Nowadays, most of the people in Hongnong County still don't know the details, when Master He left, he only said that he wanted to go to the ancestral land of the He family to worship his ancestors, and Song Wende didn't stop him if he wanted to. ”
