The silver-edged shirt on a black background decorates the straight body of Wei'an, a smooth and white face, revealing the coldness of the edges and corners, the thick eyebrows are slightly raised rebelliously, and the dark and deep ice eyes look wild and unrestrained.

Bai Shaocheng also looked at Xiao Jin's intimate person, and the scolding voice was stuck in his throat and replaced with the gentle word "Xiao Qi". Linlang panicked, dodging Bai Shaocheng's puzzled gaze in panic, and turned around and ran away after throwing the silver fox out.

"Linlang!"

Cui'er, who had just caught up, had not yet recovered and started the chase again.

"Young Master Bai, I'm sorry, I was so busy that I almost forgot, this piece is for you." The boss suddenly smiled, and handed the wrapped rice cake to Bai Shaocheng as he spoke. "You see, this osmanthus honey cake is only bought by you every year, but I didn't expect to meet someone who likes this taste again this year. You two are really fate! ”

Bai Shaocheng was silent, staring at Linlang's distant back and was silent for a long time. It wasn't until the boss called "Young Master Bai" many times that he woke up, dropped the silver and picked up the rice cake in a daze and turned to leave.

The warm sunlight threw itself on the earth without reservation, but it could not stop the cold wind from whistling. On the drum tower, Linlang let the strong wind blow, staring at Bai Shaocheng's figure motionlessly.

The most lovesick and hateful, it is rare to look back and not know each other!

Linlang turned around and beat the drum, and the tears finally broke through the flail and drowned in the bustling flow of people with the beat of the drum.

"Linlang, I've found you." Cui'er gasped and grabbed Linlang's arm with one hand, looked up at the drum tower and asked in surprise, "You struck the drum just now?" ”

Linlang shook his head slightly, looking at the gate of the drum tower inlaid with copper nails stupidly. "I came here looking for the drums, and as soon as I got here, the drumming stopped. Let's go back, we'll have to fill the water tank in the afternoon! After a small year, you can no longer fetch water. ”

The Bai family's mansion does not have the grandeur of the golden mansion, but it is unique. Although the Bai family is famous for its donkey meat, the mansions in the city are gentle and elegant, and there is no mediocrity in the market at all.

Bai Shaocheng returned home with a heavy heart, and as soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper Ah Cheng followed and said, "Young master, the master asked you to go to his study immediately, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”

"Got it."

Bai Shaocheng put down the silver fox and did not immediately go to the master's study, but continued to walk into his room. The lattice house in the middle has been spotlessly cleaned but uninhabited for a long time.

At this time, Bai Shaocheng was gently placing the osmanthus honey cake on the white porcelain plate on the desk. Underneath it are ten identical rice cakes, which are dusty but reluctant to throw them away.

"Xiao Qi, come, your favorite osmanthus honey cake."

Bai Shaocheng touched the lotus sachet on his body and bowed his head and was silent, the sachet had been touched and he couldn't tell what color it was, and the spices had long since lost their taste. This item, which no one cared about, was treasured by the eldest young master of the Bai family.

"It's been ten years, are you back? That person just now really looks like that! The murmuring voice was mixed with choking, "Xiao Jin also smelled your breath, if you really come back, why don't you want to meet me?" Are you okay for the past ten years? Can you still eat osmanthus honey cake? ”

Unconsciously, the memory bottle that had been sealed for ten years opened again, and the name Jin Xiaoqi instantly filled Bai Shaoyan's mind. Those clear eyes, sometimes flashing tears of pity, sometimes bent into an innocent laugh like a crescent moon. The mischievous and cute Joan always squeezes out a bad smile......

"Young Master!" Ah Cheng stood outside the room looking embarrassed.

"Got it!" Bai Shaocheng's eyebrows tightened, and he looked at the osmanthus honey cake affectionately, "Xiao Qi, if you don't show up again, maybe ......" Bai Shaocheng shook his head and walked out with a serious face.

The mahogany bookshelves are filled with all kinds of line books, many of which are fragments. A pair of ink paintings hang in the main hall, outlining the craggy mountains and the vicissitudes of the trees with a few brushstrokes. This painting is not from the pen of a famous artist, but by Bai Shuyuan, the master of the Bai family.

At this time, Bai Shuyuan was concentrating on the pen, and a spotted phoenix butterfly was about to come out under the wolf. Bai Shaocheng gently closed the door, picked up a thin pen and gently put the pen on the top of the butterfly's head, and in an instant, the butterfly seemed to have life, perfect.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Bai Shuyuan clapped his hands and praised, looking at the mature young man in front of him, his joy was speechless. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and Bai Shaocheng's Danqing attainments are even better.

"It's white and slightly flawed, although it's a butterfly, it's lonely!" Bai Shaocheng was unmoved, his eyes stared at the butterfly on the rice paper and thought for a while, if Xiao Qi was there, he would definitely add another one with a big stroke.

Bai Shuyuan groaned slightly, and put away his pen to make tea. In the blink of an eye, the fragrance of tea fills the air.

"I called you here to discuss this matter, and the Du family's Jiu'er has reached the year of leaving the cabinet. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, choose an auspicious time for you to get married! Bai Shuyuan saw that his son was restless, how could he not know what he was thinking. After pondering for a moment, he put down the teapot abruptly, "Shao Cheng!" If you marry Du Jiu'er, according to the power of our two families, you want to avenge Xiao Qi and have a better chance of winning! ”

Bai Shaocheng raised his head in surprise, he had never said anything like avenging Xiao Qi for many years. After being stunned for a moment, Bai Shaocheng actually said something that he didn't even believe: "Father, I saw Xiao Qi today!" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about! Little died seventy years ago, you ...... Stubborn! Bai Shuyuan slapped the table and got up angrily, "Your marriage with Du Jiu'er is so decided, I can't help you!" ”

Bai Shaocheng stared at his angry father, and whenever he mentioned Jin Xiaoqi, he was always in a bad mood. "Father, what happened back then? Why was the Lin family suddenly beheaded all over the house? How could Aunt Lin throw herself into the well to apologize? It's been ten years, Xiao Qi's life and death are unknown, not only is no one looking for her, but you all say that she is dead, what happened! Bai Shaocheng inserted his hands into the bun and pulled the white crown apart fiercely.

Bai Shuyuan closed his eyes and sat down in the Taishi chair in a heavy manner. Heavy breathing brought him into that bloody past.

Time flows, and Bai Shaocheng is waiting for his father's answer! It's been ten years, and my father has never been so depressed, either beating and scolding him or keeping a cold face and not mentioning it.

"It's been ten years, and some things have already settled, and with the first emperor in the ground, it doesn't hurt to say it!" Bai Shuyuan leaned deeply into the back of his chair and fell into a flowing memory, "In the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched the Battle of Jingjing. It lasted three years, and Nanjing's blood flowed like a river. After Zhu Di entered Beijing, he slaughtered Emperor Jianwen's advisers, not only connecting the nine clans, but also killing their friends and protégés as one clan and ten clans! ”

"This incident happened in Nanjing, what does it have to do with the Lin family?" Bai Shaocheng stood up, his dark eyes staring at his father's discrete eyes.

"It doesn't matter, but later Zhu Di, no, it's Huang Taizong." After Bai Shuyuan finished speaking, he quickly got up and bowed to the north. Later, Huang Taizong lived in the Nanjing Palace, and always felt that he was surrounded by unjust spirits, and it was difficult to sleep and eat all day, so he wanted to move the capital to Beiping. First, you can feel at ease, and second, you can fight against the remnants of the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Speaking of this, Bai Shuyuan paused for a moment, and after thinking about it again, he slowly told the secret history.

Taizong felt that the direct relocation of the capital would cause the ministers to be dissatisfied, so the layout design invited the zodiac to shoot the purple gold arrow in public, where the arrow fell, where is the capital, this is in accordance with the will of heaven. Coincidentally, the officials who went out to look for arrows found purple arrows on the Jiming Gang on the east side of the Lin Family Building! ”

Hearing this, Bai Shaocheng seemed to remember something, his eyebrows stretched, and then Bai Shuyuan's words said: "So when I was seven years old, you secretly plotted a plan to move the capital from your family, dug an eight-zhang deep ditch in the south of Jiminggang, and dug out Shuanghai Lake in the southeast, deliberately leaving a small island to make the emperor feel at ease!" ”

Bai Shuyuan looked up and sighed, his deep wrinkles full of sadness. "These things can't be hidden. After Huang Taizong came to the Lin Family Building, Long Yan was happy, so he built a large number of buildings, and ordered the foresters of the Lin Family Building to take full authority to handle the matter. Bai Shuyuan suddenly stopped when he said this, his sparse eyebrows mixed with gray, and he tightly twisted his forehead to show his uneasiness.

"And then?" Bai Shaocheng chased after him.

"Hey!" Bai Shuyuan swallowed a sip of tea, although the tea was fragrant, but the mouth was tasteless. In order to please the emperor, the Lin family pharmacy took over the emperor's meals and recuperated the fatigue of many days of travel. But who would have known that the Lin family was the remnant of Emperor Jianwen, and was found to be highly toxic in the emperor's diet by Imperial Physician Li! ”

Bai Shuyuan did not elaborate on the latter words, and passed by a few sentences. Even so, Bai Shaoyan was still in astonishment and refused to understand.

"Then, what did you just say that only I and Du Jiu'er can marry to avenge Xiao Qi?" Bai Shaoyan seems to have caught something, this matter is definitely not as simple as his father said.
