Chapter Twenty-Three: Entering the White Mansion for the First Time

Wen Sheng wore the hastily sewn black cotton robe and walked out of the gate of the Li family alone. p>

The matter of going out at night was concealed from the Li family, and if it was found out to her, she had to trouble Li Rong to find a way to appease her. p>

Convincing her uncle was much easier than Wen Sheng expected, and she vaguely guessed what was going on. p>

Li Rong looked at her with a dodgy gaze, and seemed to have only one request for her, not allowing Li Congwu to go along. In fact, even if he didn't speak, Wen Sheng didn't plan to find the third brother to accompany him this time. p>

In the past, when she went in and out of the market, Li Congwu was familiar with those occasions, in case of trouble, she could protect herself from suffering, but today she went to the Bai family to condole, and at the same time she also wanted to see what she could do for Bai Linyuan in the end, there was no need to pull Li Congwu into trouble. p>

On the street, through the thin twilight, she could vaguely tell what was within more than ten zhang, Wen Sheng did not feel timid at all, she held a paper scroll in her left hand, which was the painting that she and Bai Linyuan collaborated on in the old store of the Chen family, and she also carried his name badge in her purse. If Bai Linyuan was really killed by someone, she would definitely find out the murderer and bring him to justice. p>

Bai Linyuan was the first friend she made in this world, although he was still unknown in painting, Wen Sheng saw in him the shadows of his grandfather, father, thirteenth uncle and many people in his previous life, with the same persistence and no distractions. p>

It's just that Bai Linyuan lacks fellow travelers around him, which makes him so lonely and not understood by others. p>

Wen Sheng walked faster and faster, and the news of Bai Linyuan's death made her feel angry, who was in the way of such a pure person? p>

"Stop, what are you doing?" Wen Sheng walked out of the alley, and before he walked far, he was stopped by the soldiers on the street. p>

With the torch, Wen Sheng recognized that the other party was a soldier from the General's Mansion, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. p>

It was not an official officer, and it was inconvenient to inquire about the situation of the Bai family in advance, so Wen Sheng had to hug his fist at Yao Yao, who led the team, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to go to the Baidian historian, I hope that you military masters will make it convenient!" ”p>

No wonder she was stopped to ask, at this time the street was empty and there were no other pedestrians, like her, walking alone on the street without even a servant, how strange it looked. p>

However, as soon as she said this, the attitude of the soldiers on the opposite side immediately eased, and the officer at the head showed sympathy, and looked at Wen Sheng from head to toe, his eyes were surprised, obviously he didn't expect the person to come so young, so he casually called a subordinate to come over: "You go, accompany him on a trip." ”p>

Wen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked the officer, who waved his hand and kindly advised: "Go and come back quickly, don't violate the curfew." ”p>

Wen Sheng had something on his mind, and he just dealt with the soldier's accosting along the way, and only thanked him after several checkpoints to Qingping Lane, where Bai's house was located. p>

It took half an hour to walk all the way, so the soldier accepted Wen Sheng's salute and muttered: "Go quickly, it's all here, I don't think you have time to return." ”p>

He stood where he was and didn't leave, looking at Wen Sheng, as if he had doubts, wanting to see if Wen Sheng really entered the Bai family to mourn. p>

At this time, Wen Sheng couldn't care about anything else, she saw a white lantern hanging at the door of the White Mansion, white paper flowers tied on the lintel, the night wind blew, and the steps in front of the door flickered brightly and darkly, looking a little gloomy. p>

Wen Sheng groaned slightly, stepped forward, grabbed the door knocker and buckled it a few times, and after a while, there was a sound of twitching the door bolt inside. p>

The door opened, and a man with a raw face poked his head out, looked at Wen Sheng, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you looking for?" ”p>

This man is about forty years old, his eyes are red, staring at Wen Sheng's face on guard, Wen Sheng saw that he was dressed as a servant and had filial piety on his body, and hurriedly said: "Master Bai is at home?" ”p>

The other party frowned, and pointed to the white lantern at the door to show her: "Didn't you see it, there was an accident at home, his old man was in a very bad mood, no matter who it was, he didn't see it, and he would talk about it after a while." "If you step back while speaking, you will close the door. p>

Wen Sheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, took out Bai Linyuan's name badge and handed it over: "Please give this to Master Bai, I'll wait at the door for a while, he will meet me." ”p>

The servant took it, showing a puzzled look, Wen Sheng saw that he didn't recognize this name seal, so he had to add: "This is the private seal of your young master." ”p>

The servant's expression changed greatly when he heard this, he looked behind Wen Sheng, and actually let her in directly, closed the door, and said, "You just wait here, I'll go and talk to the master." What do you call it? ”p>

Wen Sheng said: "My surname is Gu." ”p>

The man turned around and ran to the main house, Wen Sheng suddenly thought and asked, "Where is the old housekeeper Lin Bo in your mansion?" ”p>

The man did not reply, waved his hand, trotted away, and soon disappeared into the dark night. p>

The white mansion is very large, Wen Sheng looked at the front yard with a long white paper lantern hanging in the corridor, only to see that the surrounding pond rockery, the light in the distance, there was a faint sound of crying, it should be from the spirit shed in front of the independent house with the wind. p>

Wen Sheng sighed abruptly, life in the world, suddenly like a traveler. The only person who can really remember a person and die for him is his family. p>

She thought of herself again, if she didn't return tonight, the Li family would definitely not be able to hide it, and looking at her uncle Li Rong's reaction, her fate with the Li family, who borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul, was probably about to come to an end. p>

The name badge was sent in, and there was soon movement on the side of the main house, the lights were shaking, the footsteps were chaotic, and it seemed that several people greeted them together. p>

Wen Sheng had a bad feeling in her heart, she asked Lin Bo just now, the servant did not answer, if Lin Bo followed Bai Dianshi well, when he saw the famous chapter, he would naturally explain that it was just a painting friend that Bai Lin had made from far and near, but the Bai family was so popular, I am afraid that she would be taken as a knowledge**. p>

Limber also suffered an accident at the same time? p>

She didn't have time to think about it, the people who came had already greeted her, one of them was about fifty years old, his body was a little fat, his hair was half white, he was surrounded by several subordinates and walked quickly, and his feet were a little staggering, Wen Sheng looked at this person's facial features and eyebrows, and realized that he was Bai Linyuan's father, Bai Shiyuan, the county's canon. p>

Wen Sheng hurriedly gave a deep salute and bowed to the ground: "I've seen the history of Baidian!" ”p>

Bai Shiyuan stopped five or six feet away from her, and the subordinate held a lantern high to illuminate Wen Sheng, Bai Shiyuan stared at her with blazing eyes, his expression was painful, and his lips trembled slightly: "Why did my son's name fall into your hands?" ”p>

Wen Sheng's voice was soft: "This matter is a long story, Gu is a friend of Young Master Bai, and an old servant named Lin Bo in your mansion can confirm it for me." When I heard the news, I didn't know if it was true or not, so I came to see ...... "P> before the curfew
