Although he already knew that Shen Bai was a woman from his master, he had heard a lot of things in the past three years, and when he saw Shen Bai wearing women's clothes, Xuanyin was still greatly impacted.

However, in the end, he had rich experience and had seen strong winds and waves, so he quickly regained his composure and got up to salute: "Caomin Xuanyin, meet Commander Gu and Miss Shen." ”

He still used his original stage name, and when he came out of the dust, he no longer had a smiling face and a welcoming humility, but sharpened a noble spirit that was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and moderate.

It is far from the appearance of being sent to Shen Bai and serving as a man.

If he hadn't reported his name, Shen Bai would almost not have recognized him.

Subconsciously, Shen Bai helped Xuanyin and said softly: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so polite." ”

Shen Bai spoke first, and Gu Hengzhou glanced at her.

Shen Bai reacted, he had now recovered his daughter's body, and he had no official position, so he was really not qualified to speak in front of Gu Hengzhou, and immediately stood beside Gu Hengzhou in a regular manner.

Gu Hengzhou and Xuanyin also looked quite familiar, Shen Bai listened to it for a while before he knew that in the past three years, Xuanyin had opened a restaurant and shop in Lingzhou City, and the business was very big, and when there was a natural disaster, he would pay out of his own pocket to relieve the victims, and also donated a lot of food to the Zhenbei Army, and the reputation of Xuanyin's good people was well-known in Lingzhou and Yuanfeng County.

Gu Hengzhou's attitude towards Xuanyin was quite kind, and after a few people finished talking about business, Xuanyin invited the master to go to the restaurant with them for dinner.

The restaurant was built on the edge of the lake formed by the drainage of Shen Bai's fried mountain four years ago.

In the past four years, with the lake as the center, the land within a radius of several miles has been cleared into fertile land, and the people who were assigned to the fields have built houses and settled down by the lake, and the restaurant is built here, becoming a scene, and some wooden bridges and pavilions have been specially built around, with an excellent view, and you can also row and cruise the lake, which is very interesting.

Lingzhou also looked much richer than before, Shen Bai was dizzying all the way, Xuanyin saw that she was interested in these, and introduced the changes around her softly all the way.

Shen Bai listened very energetically, although she had not personally participated in the reform and development of Lingzhou in the past four years, and now she still has some pride when she sees the changes in Lingzhou.

After all, she did the thing of blowing up the mountain and draining the water back then.

Quite proud in his heart, the corners of Shen Bai's lips rose unconsciously, and he entered the restaurant, Xuanyin, as the master, went to explain to the guy to prepare the meal first, Gu Hengzhou stopped talking with the master, glanced at Shen Bai, and asked, "So happy?" ”

Shen Bai nodded proudly, pointed outside and said, "Brother Gu, this lake was brought by me to blow up the mountain and divert it, and I also have a share of credit for this." ”

Winter is the dry season of the Beitong River, the water level of the river drops, the water in the lake is blocked, there is no flow with drinking water, the weather is too cold, the lake has begun to freeze.

The master praised beside him: "Miss Shen's move back then was really beneficial to future generations, after this lake, our Lingzhou should not have floods in the future." ”

After the master finished speaking, Xuanyin also walked back, saw Shen Bai pointing to the lake, and said warmly: "In a few days, the temperature is a little lower, the whole lake will be frozen, and then the ice surface can be half a foot thick, and you can also skate and play ice hockey on the lake, if you like it, you can come and play if you have the opportunity." ”

Shen Bai didn't do anything serious in Lingzhou at that time, he was eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and Xuan Yin knew that Shen Bai was interested in these things as soon as he guessed.

Shen Bai's eyes lit up and asked, "It's so fun?" How long will it take for it to freeze, and how long will it take for it to melt? ”

Xuan Yin was extremely patient and replied: "Lingzhou has a long winter, and this ice will not melt until the spring equinox at least next year, and there are still many months to go, so it's too late." ”

A pool of lake water froze, blue-green, blue-green like fine amber, very beautiful, Shen Bai was itchy to see, she hadn't played ice hockey for a long time.

Gu Hengzhou poured cold water unceremoniously: "We will leave tomorrow, and we don't know when we will come back, so we may not be able to catch up." ”

yes, not necessarily in time.

Shen Bai reluctantly retracted his gaze, and Xuan Yin said beside him: "There are still many opportunities to catch up with this year, and there are many interesting places in Lingzhou City, if Miss Shen wants to go, I can lead the way, the expenses are all mine, and one day is enough to go to many places." ”

Xuanyin was very generous, Shen Bai was itchy and couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly responded, Gu Hengzhou had a calm face, his jaw was cold and hard, but he didn't say anything in the end.

The chef of the restaurant didn't know where Xuanyin invited him, the taste of the food was quite good, and there were several things that Shen Bai loved to eat, Shen Bai ate more than when he was in the barracks, and he praised the cook for doing a good job, and after eating for a while, Xuanyin put a bowl of fish with the thorns removed in front of Shen Bai.

After serving for so long, he basically didn't eat anything, so he took care of helping Shen Bai pick fish bones.

Accustomed to being taken care of in the Dongfang family, Shen Bai didn't feel anything wrong, thanked Xuanyin, and pulled the bowl in front of him, while the master and Gu Hengzhou looked at Xuanyin meaningfully.

The master lives a transparent life, four years ago, he saw that Shen Bai and Gu Hengzhou had an unusual relationship, and now when they see each other again, they know at a glance that Shen Bai is Gu Hengzhou's person, whether it is the current Xuanyin or the Xuanyin four years ago, there is no way to stand with Shen Bai.

Being looked at by the two of them like this, Xuan Yin was very frank and said gently: "I used to serve people in the building before, and the grass people can get to this day because of Miss Shen's generosity back then, and the grass people just want to repay Miss Shen's kindness, and there is absolutely no other meaning." ”

The master immediately raised his glass and echoed: "Yes, if it wasn't for Miss Shen's order, the lower officials wouldn't be able to get to where they are today, thank you so much Miss Shen." ”

The master wanted to toast, and Xuanyin poured a glass for Shen Bai, but before Shen Bai touched the wine glass, Gu Hengzhou picked up the glass of wine and touched it with the master, and said lightly: "She is sick and can't drink, I'll drink it for her." ”

Gu Hengzhou had spoken, and the master naturally couldn't have an opinion, so he respectfully saluted Gu Hengzhou three glasses of wine.

Gu Hengzhou drank it directly, then looked at Xuan Yin and asked, "Boss Xuan, do you want to toast too?" ”

"Nature."

Xuanyin also toasted Gu Hengzhou three glasses of wine.

The meal was quite enjoyable, and after eating, Xuanyin directly arranged for the two of them to take a lunch break in the best private room.

There is a brazier in the private room, burning good incense, and there are skilled servants to help massage the shoulders and backs, and the service is quite in place.

Shen Bai enjoyed it, slept comfortably, and woke up in the evening.

I slept too soundly, and when I woke up, my head was a little heavy, and when I got dressed and went out, the building began to be lively.

Shen Bai likes this kind of lively voice.

In the last life, Gu Hengzhou was always at the border, she was grinding with those old horsemen all day long, and her life was very boring, only when she soaked in Lanyue Pavilion did she feel that she was still alive, and in the past three years, the Dongfang family raised her like a cripple, for fear that she would die if she couldn't wake up one day, her ears were always quiet, so quiet that she felt a little scared.

Shen Bai leaned on the railing, propped his head and looked below, the voices below were boiling, and the expressions on everyone's faces were different, and they had their own lives.

After looking at it for a while, Xuanyin asked behind his back, "What are you looking at?" ”

Shen Bai turned around and smiled, and said, "That person downstairs may have to eat the overlord meal in a while, do you want the guy to pay more attention to him, what if he runs away?" ”

Xuan Yin glanced in the direction pointed by Shen Bai and said, "That person is old, his brain is not very good, and many restaurants have been eaten by him, but he has a good son, and he will help him settle the bill when the time comes." ”

"Then he's pretty good."

Shen Bai sighed, Xuanyin smiled, and said, "Dinner is eaten on the boat, you can swim in the lake, the commander is already on the boat, do you want to go over to him now?" ”

"Hmm."

Shen Bai nodded and followed Xuanyin downstairs.

It wasn't obvious before, but following him now, Shen Bai felt more and more that he had a broad back and an excellent temperament, which was quite a big change from before.

Walking out of the door of the restaurant, Shen Bai stepped forward quickly, lightly bumped his arm, and raised his eyebrows: "The changes of Xuan Gongzi in the past few years are simply reborn, it's amazing!" ”

Shen Bai said and gave a thumbs up, at the beginning, she just felt that Xuanyin was calmer and more righteous than ordinary people, and gave him money just in the hope that he could live a normal life, but she didn't expect him to be able to make a fortune with that little money, step by step to today.

In a few years, he will probably become a wealthy businessman on a par with the Wei family.

Shen Bai looked lively, happy for Xuanyin in his heart, Xuanyin hooked his lips, a warm smile on his face, led Shen Bai into the carriage, and waited for the carriage to move forward before asking softly: "I have been working hard in the past three years, what about you?" I heard that you disappeared suddenly, and even Grand Commander Gu doesn't know where you went, how are you doing? ”

His voice was gentle, and he cared about how Shen Bai had been doing in the past three years like a big brother.

Shen Bai's heart was warm, and he said briskly: "I'm also doing well, I basically wake up every day to eat and sleep, and eat when I wake up, and someone feeds the food to my mouth every day, I don't have to worry about anything, it's very comfortable." "Qiandu Chinese Network

Xuanyin remembered that she was not a person who could stay, and after listening to Shen Bai's words, her smile was retracted, and she asked with concern: "Have you been imprisoned in the past three years?" ”

"It's not captivity, but it feels pretty much the same." Shen Bai didn't hide it, and said, "I had a very serious illness before, and I could only lie down every day, and I couldn't go anywhere else, if someone hadn't fed me every day, I would have turned into a skeleton by now." ”

Shen Bai's tone was very relaxed, as if the illness was not painful, but it just made her unable to get up and move around.

Xuanyin was silent, and only after a while did he say: "In the past three years, I have worked hard for you." ”

"What's so hard, and I don't need to do anything, others serve me." Shen Bai didn't care, Xuanyin nodded, and muttered: "After all of them, there will be no pain in the future." ”

The place to swim in the lake was very close, and the carriage drove for about a quarter of an hour.

Xuanyin got out of the car first and personally helped Shen Bai get out of the car.

The boat that cruises the lake is a two-story painting boat with red lanterns hanging on it, and it is very beautiful with delicate carvings everywhere.

Someone was stroking the piano on the dress, the piano sounded melodious, Xuanyin said "be careful", helped Shen Bai to get on the boat, and only let go when he entered the cabin.

Gu Hengzhou and Master had been sitting inside for a while, not in a hurry to eat dinner, the two of them sat facing each other and played chess.

Hearing the two of them come in, Gu Hengzhou glanced back at them.

Shen Bai wasn't very interested in playing chess, but she still walked to Gu Hengzhou's side first and glanced at the chessboard, she couldn't see who was at a disadvantage, so she only politely praised the two of them for being interested, and then walked to the window to watch the scenery.

The lake was frozen, and they were the only boat on the lake, and the view was quite wide, much wider than the scenery seen on the Hanjing painting boat.

After looking at it for a while, the ethereal flute overwhelmed the sound of the piano, and when he turned around, Xuanyin was wearing a cold crescent-colored brocade robe, sitting in the center of the cabin and playing the flute.

His fingers are slender and white, and the jade flute in his hand is dark green and lush, and his ten fingers are more and more beautiful, and his lips are also ruddy and soft.

People who fall into the dust will be forced to learn some talents, Shen Bai only thought that the stage name Xuanyin was very good, but this was the first time he had heard him play the flute.

He is very angry, his fingering is also quite proficient, and the music he blows out is extremely beautiful, not only Shen Bai was attracted to attention, but even Gu Hengzhou and Master stopped playing chess.

After the song, the cabin was quiet for a moment, Shen Bai took the lead in applauding, and Gu Hengzhou was not stingy and applauded him.

Xuanyin put down the flute and said with a smile: "I haven't played it for a long time, and I'm a little rusty." ”

"It's still called rusty, then everyone else shouldn't live, I hate you people like you who are obviously very good and deliberately humble." Shen Bai couldn't help but praise him, Xuanyin couldn't be more modest, so he could only accept it.

The dinner was also very good, in addition to the signature dishes of the restaurant, there were also Lingzhou specialties.

There is a stewed elbow that tastes unique, the elbow stew is particularly soft and glutinous, and it melts in the mouth.

Shen Bai couldn't stop eating at all, but when she ate it, she was a little wrong, in front of Gu Hengzhou and the master, she went to put her arm around Xuanyin's shoulder, leaned into someone's ear and said: "Back then, the master saw that you had the ability, different from others, you are really powerful now, you will definitely be rich in a few years, and the girl who wants to marry you must line up several streets, and when you get married, you must remember to inform me, I haven't ...... yet I haven't ever witnessed my marriage. ”

Shen Bai had a big tongue, and before the master understood what was going on, Gu Hengzhou got up directly and took Shen Bai back to him and sat down.

Shen Bai stared at him for a while with a confused look in his eyes, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Huh? Isn't this Brother Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Gu Hengzhou kept his face calm and didn't speak, Xuanyin poked the elbow she had eaten and sniffed it, and said, "With wine added to it, she may ...... Drunk. ”

Xuanyin was not very sure, at noon Gu Hengzhou said that Shen Bai couldn't drink, he thought he was just talking, but he didn't expect Shen Bai's current wine strength to be really bad like this.

Gu Hengzhou pulled Shen Bai to stand up, and said in a deep voice: "I have to go tomorrow, I'll take her back first." ”

The master didn't stop him, Xuanyin stood up and said, "The grass people send the Grand Commander and Miss Shen back." ”

Gu Hengzhou acquiesced, and Xuanyin got up and got off the boat with them.

The carriage was single, it was too crowded for three people, Xuanyin and the groom sat outside together, and when they arrived at the post station, Gu Hengzhou got off the car with Shen Bai in his arms, and Shen Bai was almost asleep.

Xuanyin didn't say anything, seeing the two of them enter the post station, Gu Hengzhou took a few steps forward, and suddenly looked back at him.

Xuan Yin was puzzled and asked, "Did Grand Commander Gu forget something on the carriage?" ”

Gu Hengzhou looked at him for a while and said, "In the future, I will protect her and not let her suffer any harm." ”

Gu Hengzhou's tone was very calm, not a provocation, but more like some kind of promise.

Xuanyin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Gu Hengzhou to take a little person like him in his eyes, and he made such a solemn promise to protect Shen Bai all the time.

Gu Hengzhou hugged Shen Bai and didn't move, waiting for Xuanyin's response, Xuanyin sat up slightly straight, and said to Gu Hengzhou: "Miss Shen is a very good girl, whether there is anyone else or not, she deserves to be treated well, the Grand Commander has paid a lot for Zhaoling, and the grass people hope that the Grand Commander and Miss Shen can live smoothly and worry-free in the future." ”

Xuanyin said very sincerely, he knew what his background was, he had always maintained his sanity, and he had never been greedy for something he couldn't get.

Gu Hengzhou responded with his head in response, and returned to the post station with Shen Bai in his arms.

Telling his soldiers to go to the kitchen to decant the soup, Gu Hengzhou put Shen Bai on the bed.

As before, as soon as she got on the bed after getting drunk, she was about to wrap herself in the quilt and shrink to the corner of the bed, Gu Hengzhou pressed her shoulders and didn't let her move, Shen Bai snorted twice in dissatisfaction.

The strength of the wine did not subside, her face was still red, Gu Hengzhou tried it, and it was still a little hot, with a slight layer of sweat.

The soldiers quickly sent the sobering soup, Gu Hengzhou took it and asked people to retreat, the door closed, and when he turned around, Shen Bai opened his eyes and looked at him stunned, and closed it after a while.

"When I woke up, I got up and drank this."

Gu Hengzhou said that Shen Bai closed his eyes and remained motionless, and after a while, he secretly lifted his eyelids and was caught by Gu Hengzhou.

Gu Hengzhou asked, "What trick are you playing?" ”

Shen Bai opened his eyes and said innocently, "I didn't." ”

Gu Hengzhou stared at her without speaking, Shen Bai was weak-hearted, and said weakly, "Don't you want to feed me?" I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed if I look at you, and it's easier for you to move with your eyes closed. ”

Gu Hengzhou raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't think of any embarrassment he had.

Shen Bai licked his lips, feeling a little thirsty, sat up with his body propped up, and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself." With that, he reached out and took the bowl.

Gu Hengzhou didn't let go, and fed the decanting soup to her mouth.

The corners of Shen Bai's lips were raised, and his eyes were bent into crescents, like a little fox who had succeeded in playing tricks.

She knew that Brother Gu was spoiling her.

Before his brain was clear, Shen Bai turned his head and didn't drink the sobering soup, muttering, "I fed you mouth-to-mouth before, why don't you feed me like this, Brother Gu?" ”

Shen Bai asked to be reasonable, Gu Hengzhou's eyes darkened, stared at Shen Bai and asked, "Do you want me to feed you like this?" ”

Shen Bai didn't perceive the danger at all, nodded heavily, and even pouted to invite after nodding.

"Who am I?"

Gu Hengzhou asked, Shen Bai blinked, didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question, and answered truthfully: "You are Gu Hengzhou." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Hengzhou took a big sip of the sobering soup, buckled the back of Shen Bai's head and pressed it to himself.
