Chapter 13 Gifts
After the lunch break, except for Bai Chong and Bai Yuying, who remained in Phoenix Valley, Bian Che and Xia Guli both resigned and returned to the villa with the Phoenix Descendant. Bai Yuying sent Bian Che to the exit of Phoenix Valley, Bian Che stopped and couldn't help asking, "Yu'er, Bai Chong, is it really your uncle?" ”
Bai Yuying opened her mouth to look at him in surprise and said, "Why do you ask me that?" He's my uncle, didn't I tell you a long time ago? ”
Bian Che's eyes darkened slightly, "Nanyang Villa, this is a courtyard built by Xuanyuan Chong of the Great General's Mansion for his newlywed wife in the past, it suddenly caught fire twelve years ago, and none of the people in it survived. The Xuanyuan family betrayed the country to seek glory, and the imperial court ordered a ban on tracing the cause of the fire, and sealed the general's mansion, connecting the nine clans. What happened that day is still unknown to anyone, Nanyang Villa has become a secret matter of the imperial court, your uncle, whose name is Chong, is so familiar with the affairs of Nanyang Villa, why do you say I asked you? ”
Bai Yuying didn't answer, just looked at him silently.
"When will you trust me? You asked me to kill Yeluxin and Lei Dai for you, but it has something to do with your uncle? ”
Bai Yuying looked directly at him, and there was no trace of shame on her incomprehensible face, "Have you forgotten that you promised me that if I didn't want to say it, you wouldn't force me?" ”
A trace of annoyance flashed in Bian Che's eyes, "I didn't ask because I thought you wouldn't deceive me, and now I ask you because I value you, and you don't appreciate it at all." Do you feel that my patience with you is limitless? ”
"If you can help me do that in three months, I'll tell you everything I do, and I won't hide it, how about it?" Bai Yuying is always cold, like the ice that can't be melted for 10,000 years, which makes Bian Che both hateful and helpless.
A sneer appeared on Bian Che's face, "Three months, do you know who you want to kill, an important official of a country, a general of the Western Regions who has made indispensable contributions, are you a river and lake when you are the imperial court?" The imperial court is now eyeing Qianjilou, and there are still many people waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman, I just lost a rudder, you asked me to kill the people of the imperial court now, do you want my people from Qianjilou to be sent to the tiger's mouth? ”
If it was four years ago, Bian Che could be desperate to make enemies of the entire imperial court and even the entire martial arts for Bai Yuying, but now he can no longer scruple about pushing Qianjilou into danger in order to get a woman. And this woman is so ruthless that she tramples his heart under her feet and turns a blind eye to her feelings.
"Then, I'll give you half a year, and if it's done, I'll go with you. If you can't do it, then we won't see the rivers and lakes, and you shouldn't know me as a person. Bai Yuying's voice was light and shallow, but it was full of resoluteness and could not be questioned.
Bian Che sneered and nodded again and again: "Okay, don't forget what you said!" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Xia Guli saw Bian Che coming out of the valley with a fierce face, and was wondering what Bai Yuying said to him that made him so angry, and just wanted to show the concern of his predecessors, he saw Bian Che jump on the horse and gallop away, without waiting for himself at all. Waiting for him outside, and he's gone? Xia Guli was stunned on the ground.
When Bian Che hurried back to the villa, it was already night, and it seemed that there were many people in Hanjiang Pavilion, all of whom were busy in the patient's hall, while Yu Mingyang was talking and laughing with people outside. Yu Mingyang chatted and chatted, felt a chill down his spine, and when he turned around, he saw Bian Che's unhappy face, standing motionless, so he hurriedly left his friend and ran to Bian Che.
"Landlord, didn't you leave the villa with the white girl?"
"Where's Qi Niang?" Bian Che didn't have a good airway.
Yu Mingyang was stunned, a little unclear, "Huh? Is the landlord back looking for the Seven Girls? I thought you told me to tell her not to wait, so ...... Little Seventh Girl should have left. ”
Bian Che went straight to the top of his head with a breath and glared at him, "The alliance leader said that everyone is not allowed to enter and leave without permission, how can Qi Niang leave?" ”
"I took her out." At this moment, a light and soft voice sounded coldly.
Jiang Qihan came out of the hall with a medicine box, stopped when he passed by Bian Che, and looked at him with a gentle smile. "I saw that Miss Xiaoqi seemed to be bored here, so I told Master Xue to go to the Jin family with Xiaoqi to visit the family, and borrow some tribute wine from the master of Jin, it just so happened that the wine that could be used to make medicinal wine for the patient in the villa was poisoned, I think the master of Jin should be very happy to help. Sure enough, within half a day, the Jin family sent the wine. I am really grateful to you for the kindness of the great master. ”
Bian Che looked at Yu Mingyang when he heard this, only to see Yu Mingyang nodding slightly heavily. Jiang Qihan is so powerful, what kind of wine is not good, the tribute wine is worth a lot of things, and it is used for this, saying that it is borrowed, but how can the big boss accept the money from Hanjiang Pavilion, he sent it without saying a word, and even sent people to help. Jiang Qihan was obviously deliberately looking for Bian Che to be unpleasant, but he was upright, polite in his manners and deeds, and with a hypocritical mask of a doctor's kindness, people couldn't find a single thorn.
What made Bian Che unhappy was not only Jiang Qihan's deliberate provocation, but also Qi Niang's agreement to let Jiang Qihan go to the Jin family. He smiled with coldness, "Then Pavilion Master Jiang has been working hard for a while in the past few days." Yu Mingyang, let's go. ”
Yu Mingyang didn't dare to say anything more, and followed Bian Che with his head down. Thinking that Bian Che was going to go back to Jin's house directly, who knew that Bian Che stopped halfway and said to him, "Come back tomorrow." ”
"Is there anything else the landlord has to do?" Yu Mingyang, who talked a lot, couldn't help but ask.
"Come with me tomorrow to buy something." Bian Che dropped the words, leaving Yu Mingyang with a suspicious expression.
Yu Mingyang didn't expect Bian Che to say that the thing he was going to buy the next day was a hairpin worn by a girl. Seeing Bian Che wandering impatiently around the various shops and stalls, suddenly frowning and pondering, and suddenly hesitating, he was not at all like the man who covered the sky with one hand on weekdays. Yu Mingyang smiled without fear of death: "Is the landlord going to buy it for the white girl?" ”
Bian Che looked at the silver hairpin in his hand, and didn't care about him, he only said the word "shut up", and then went to pick the others. Seeing this reaction, Yu Mingyang guessed who this hairpin was bought for. After Bian Che finished picking, there were at least a dozen of them, and they looked almost the same, so he asked the boss to pack them in a box. When the boss handed it to Bian Che, Bian Che stood still, Yu Mingyang understood it and took it with a smile.
Then the shop owner and Yu Mingyang, you look at me, I look at you, Yu Mingyang felt that the boss looked at him like looking at a fat sheep. The wealth is as thick as Bian Che, and a dozen hairpins are not worth mentioning, but they are Yu Mingyang's blood and tears for most of the year.
"I didn't bring any money today, you can help me cushion it first, and I'll give it back to you." Bian Che threw down this sentence and walked away in style.
Yu Mingyang finally knew why Bian Che had to let him accompany him when he bought things.
In the afternoon, there was a burst of happy and cheerful laughter in the courtyard of the Jin family, it was no one else, and when he heard the voice, he knew who Ye Xiaoliuliu was playing with again. Passing through the front gate of the compound, past a pond, and then around the verandah, is the place to rest in the backyard. The Jinjia Courtyard is not like those beautiful gardens full of flowers, there is not a single flower bed here, only white or black rockeries dotted among them, and the rest are green trees and bamboos, which are slightly monotonous and cold, and occasionally the peach blossom branches sticking in from the outside next to the corner of the wall add a sense of spring. Next to the courtyard gate, there is a row of polished weapon racks, which are hung with all kinds of knives and daggers of different lengths and hidden weapons, which is enough to show the cold and hard temperament of the owner of the other courtyard. As soon as he entered the backyard, Bian Che heard a timid cat meow.
"Qi Niang, this little guy seems to like you very much!" Xiao Sixteen said enviously.
After walking a short distance, Bian Che saw several people gathered in the shade of a tree, teasing a little white cat. And the lucky darling was drilling into Qi Niang's arms one by one, occasionally rubbing against Qi Niang's face and licking it, which made Qi Niang laugh for a while. Bian Che had never seen Qi Niang's happy appearance, and he always felt that she was too cold and boring to smile, but he never thought that Qi Niang could also laugh and have fun like a carefree girl in her teens.
I have to admit that Qi Niang's exotic face is too eye-catching, and her eyes are like crescents when she smiles, because her eyebrows are slightly tough, which makes her less feminine and more resilient and heroic. If Bai Yuying is a dark orchid that blooms in a deep valley, then Qi Niang is the most gorgeous flower in the desert. Looking at the smile he had never seen before, Bian Che was stunned.
When he came back to his senses, Yu Mingyang had already greeted the people in the courtyard, and only under the tree did they find them.
"Landlord, come and see! There's a little milk kitten here! Little Sixteen beckoned to Bian Che excitedly.
Bian Che walked over and glanced at the kitten in the crook of Qi Niang's arm, it was actually a rare Persian cat, looking at Qi Niang with round blue eyes, very cute. He casually asked, "Where did this cat come from?" ”
Qi Niang replied: "I saw it here this morning, it seems to be lost, I don't know who its owner is?" ”
"Landlord, can we keep this cat? Otherwise, it's too pitiful to throw it away. Little Sixteen looked at Bian Che with expectant eyes.
Bian Che subconsciously glanced at Qi Niang, and saw her looking at the little guy's eyes with pity, so he threw down a sentence: "Whatever you want." ”
Little Sixteen cheered, and Qi Niang looked at each other and smiled.
"Come here." Bian Che looked at Qi Niang and said to Qi Niang.
Qi Niang didn't know what she meant, but she saw Yu Mingyang smiling meaningfully at herself, and she went into the house with Bian Che with a box. After Qi Niang entered, Yu Mingyang put the box on the table and went out, leaving Bian Che and her.
"This is for you."
"What?" Qi Niang took it suspiciously, opened it and saw that it was all kinds of hairpins, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
Bian Che said: "Didn't you go out to buy it last time, don't you like it?" ”
Qi Niang remembered that she bought a hairpin for Lan Sheng last time, but she didn't expect Bian Che to take it to heart, but she misunderstood that the hairpin was bought for herself. Although I wasn't very interested in these things, I was happy in my heart.
Bian Che was a little inexplicably looking forward to Qi Niang's answer, and saw that the clear eyes of the person in front of him seemed to be sprinkled with stars, and he didn't seem to hate the gifts he gave.
Qi Niang said softly: "I like it very much, thank you." ”
"If you like it, it's fine." Bian Che didn't refuse her thanks for the first time, Qi Niang seemed to see the corners of his mouth rise slightly, but Bian Che raised his hand after a while, as if he was hiding something, turned his face and looked away, but the roots of his ears were a little red.
