Volume 1 Scholarly Sentiment Chapter 43 Annan Bai Family

After the bloody battle, half of the city of Yinzhou City was scorched, and Yinzhou City, which had returned to Daliang, was ushering in a rebirth. King Yu discussed with Chen Jiale not to take the means of expulsion of the Xia Tang residents in the city, and let them choose for themselves, those who were willing to continue to stay in Yinzhou City could live their previous lives, and the Liang Dynasty army who wanted to return to their homeland would not be hindered.

The repair of the city was handed over to Chen Jiale, and the main task of King Yu and Yang Zhong was to deploy the fortifications of the front from Annan across the mountain to Yinzhou, and appointed Geng Yan to be responsible for the inventory of the casualties, and Lu Xiang to assist the Bai family in the treatment of the wounded.

As a minority person who was born in Qingshan Academy and is considered to be a relatively high level of knowledge in the army, Geng Yan handed over the work of registering the book to Xuan Shaoning. Every time Xuan Shaoning put down the pen, his heart felt like he was pinched, and when he wrote Tao Sikun's name, it was difficult to write for a while, and the hand holding the pen trembled slightly. It's not just a name on this page, they're all once alive.

Suddenly, Xuan Shaoning felt that someone was holding her hand holding the pen, and she helped him put down the pen and write down those three words. Xuan Shaoning looked up at the man, although the tears in his eyes blurred his vision, he could still identify this person as Ling Scarlet.

"Repair the strip and brush the layer, and the dense leaves are blocking the sky. Ling Feng knows the strength of the grass, and the snow sees the chastity. They...... Die well deserved. Ling Feiyan said with relief.

"As far as the country is concerned, as a soldier, it is natural to die on the battlefield, but ...... In the family, for the son, for the husband, and for the father, after all, it is indebted. ”

"In troubled times, if no one stands up to defend their home and country, won't those wives, sons, and parents become the swords of others?"

Xuan Shaoning tightened his right hand holding the pen, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his left hand, and continued to transcribe, "You are right, this is the meaning of our existence!" ”

"I came today mainly to visit your injuries, although they did not hurt the vital point, but the fatigue of these days is not conducive to recovery."

"I'm fine, but how are they recovering?"

"With Sister Luo Yao here, you can rest assured!"

"You...... Have you seen Luo Yao? ”

"That's natural, we have been classmates for seven years, and this friendship will never be forgotten for a lifetime. Now that the matter at hand is done, you might as well go to her, she is in the medicinal herb warehouse of the official residence. ”

Ling Feiyan repeatedly confirmed that Xuan Shaoning's expression was affirmative, and only then walked out of the tent, and on the way back to the camp, he happened to meet King Yu and Ye Kai walking out of the military tent, and hurriedly lowered his head and ran away quickly.

Just a few hours ago, there was still a sword and sword shadow here, how much blood was sprinkled on this land, how many people could no longer see the rising sun tomorrow, thinking of all this, King Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"Drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, a few people have come back to fight in ancient times!"

King Yu followed the voice and looked, it turned out to be Ye Kai chanting in his mouth, speaking of which, the sad spring and sad autumn, the poetry and eulogy did not match his style, but at the moment, King Yu had no intention of care.

"Your Highness is long in the army, and he has seen the most killings, can't he let go?"

"Relieved? One life is gone, even if you see more, how can you be relieved? ”

"This is what war is, it has always been cruel, and all we can do is adapt."

"I want to be peaceful in the world!"

"Does Your Highness really think so?"

"How?"

"Your Highness can carry the common people on your shoulders......"

After completing the transcription of the day, Xuan Shaoning came to the official residence that was temporarily used as a medicinal herb storehouse, and saw Bai Luoyao, who was still dressed in white, but the white clothes were already stained with various stains. She was counting the medicinal herbs, her hair was sticky on her forehead, and the makeup she had already spent was too late to correct, but all this did not affect her beauty in Xuan Shaoning's opinion.

"You're here?" Bai Luoyao turned his head and caught a glimpse of Xuan Shaoning who was stunned at the door.

"Yes...... Oh, yes. ”

"Most of the medicinal materials have been exhausted, these days of treatment have controlled the injuries of the wounded soldiers, I am about to go back to the Bai family to get some more medicinal materials, it just so happens that you are all here, why don't you go together?" After Bai Luoyao counted the medicinal materials, he said to Xuan Shaoning, "It's only half a day to go to the Bai family to ride a horse, and it won't be delayed for a long time." ”

"That'....... Let me inform the general, Zheng Yuan, Duan Lang, Scarlet Yan, Ke Xin and Senior Brother Ye Kai are all there. ”

"It would be great if we could all go."

"Alright, I'll call them!"

Xuan Shaoning, who walked into the sun, scolded himself fiercely in his heart, he didn't dare to look back at Bai Luoyao in the house, so he had to run away quickly, leaving Bai Luoyao standing a little lonely.

The overall situation has been decided, King Yu does things according to rules but human nature, Ye Kai and Zhao Kexin are obsessed with guarding and dare not leave; Ling Feiyan is afraid of being exposed and is not suitable for travel; Therefore, only Xuan Shaoning, Shi Gong Zhengyuan and Duan Lang went to the Bai family with Bai Luoyao.

Four people and four riders arrived at the medicine town where the Bai family was located in less than half a day. The reason for the name is that the whole town is engaged in the production of medicinal herbs. Outside the town are fields of medicine, where farmers are farming; There is a river running through the town in the town, and there are scattered houses on both sides of the river, with white walls and gray tiles standing in the middle of the hall houses, paddy fields and fishing boats singing at night, a pleasant and comfortable rural scenery.

The four of them dismounted and led the horses slowly, one was too narrow to ride, and the other was attracted by the harmonious scenery of this faction, after all, they had just experienced life and death, and the quiet life just made up for the lack of soul. The four of them watched as they walked, and no one said a word, for fear that their noise would damage this rare tranquility.

Although the people who came had a heart, but the town was too small, and the four of them walked out of the medicine town in a short time, and what they could see was a building, with the mountains and rivers at their back, sitting in the north and facing the south, the style was similar to that of the medicine town, and the use of white walls and gray tiles, and the halls were contiguous but simple and simple, which was the impression of Xuan Shaoning seeing the Bai family for the first time. The stream that runs through the medicine town originates from the green mountains behind the Bai family and flows directly in front of the Bai family hall, so there is a bridge between the town and the Bai family.

The four of them led their horses across the bridge and saw Bai Yuting standing in front of the hall, he was over fifty years old, with black hair, a ruddy complexion, and full of energy. Behind him stood several people, all dressed as doctors.

"Daddy!" Bai Luo shouted from afar, and Bai Yuting's face was full of concern, and Ma Ying came up to check on his daughter carefully.

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter is fine!"

"You've been gone for seven days, how can you rest assured that your father?" Bai Yuting is completely a loving father at the moment, without the slightest pretense of the first medicine merchant of Daliang, "These are the little girl's classmates?" ”

"Xuan Shaoning, Shi Gong Zhengyuan, and Duan Lang have seen uncle!"

"The students of Castle Peak Academy have never disappointed the old man! Since you are a guest of the little girl, please come inside! Bai Yuting turned sideways, and immediately a maid stepped forward, and after saluting with her skirt, she said softly: "Heroes, I am Yuanxiang, the maidservant next to Miss, please come with the slave." ”

is worthy of being the person around Luo Yao, not only has outstanding appearance, but also treats people quite decently.

Yuan Xiang led the way in front, Bai Yuting's father and daughter took the three of them to march slowly behind, if it wasn't for the fact that he already knew that he was in the Bai family's house, Xuan Shaoning really thought that he had entered the palace, although the buildings around him were not as brilliant as the palace, but the pattern was atmospheric, there were many ridges, gardens, gardens, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, all of which were missing.

After following Yuan Xiang through a long corridor, Xuan Shaoning suddenly saw a person standing under the begonia tree, she was also dressed in snow-white gauze, and there was only a white hosta decoration on the hair bun that was partially pulled up and partially spread out, graceful and graceful, as if she did not eat the fireworks of the world. The breeze passed, the hair fluttered gently, the slender eyelashes blinked, the begonia petals falling from the branches fell on the shoulder, she stretched out her hand to brush it, the fingers were as white as jade, slender as onions, and behind her she could vaguely see the green mountains opposite and the golden rice fields in the distance, such a beautiful scenery, it really made the three of them drunk.

"Zhirui, haven't you come to see the guests yet?"

When the woman turned around, Xuan Shaoning was surprised to find that her appearance was eight points similar to Bai Luoyao, and the remaining two points were even higher than Bai Luoyao, to say that she was not much better than Chu Hanqian. Duan Lang couldn't help but sigh, Bai Yuting is really favored by God, not only has a lot of family wealth, but also has two daughters with beautiful looks in the city.

Hearing this, Bai Zhirui took small steps and walked towards everyone, with a dignified and elegant posture, she was really a young lady from a big family. She bowed a blessing at a distance from everyone, and said, "Sister is back?" ”

"yes!" Bai Luoyao took Bai Zhirui's hand and said to her, "I also brought back three classmates!" ”

"Really? Thinking you're on this side? Bai Zhirui stretched out her hand and pointed to the direction where the three of them were standing, and said with a smile: "My sister's classmate is Zhirui's guest, which is polite." ”

It was only at this time that Xuan Shaoning found that Bai Zhirui's Qiubo bright eyes had not blinked from beginning to end, and he turned his head to glance at Shi Gong Zhengyuan, who nodded with a little regret. Duan Lang also understood at this moment, and just wanted to ask, but heard Bai Zhirui explain: "The three of you guessed well, Zhirui does suffer from eye disease and can't see anything in this world. ”

Duan Lang's compassion was greatly moved, he really couldn't imagine that such a young girl would be blind, "God cherishes you and doesn't want you to see the filth of this world, he has reserved the original beauty for you and sealed it in your mind forever." ”

Poof, Bai Zhirui smiled, her smile made Duan Lang fascinated, and all the beautiful scenery around her lost its color. "My sister has long said that Qingshan Academy is full of talents, and today I saw that it was true!"

"I'm not a genius in front of the two of them, otherwise how could I use such banal words to describe your difference."

"This boy is really humble."

Bai Luoyao didn't expect Duan Lang, who had always been well-behaved, to have such a performance, and couldn't help but be impressed, like her, there were Xuan Shaoning and Shi Gong Zhengyuan.

"Okay, it's not too early, if you linger here, the prepared medicinal food will be wasted." Bai Yuting urged, and walked into the banquet hall first.

"That's right, we must try our Bai family's medicinal food today!" Bai Luoyao took his sister and the three of them into the Bai family's living room.

This small room can accommodate six people, with a long table on a bamboo couch, a seven-pointed lantern hanging from it, a landscape painting framed on the wall, and nothing else. But the most surprising thing is to push open the wooden door on one side, suddenly revealing a good view, the three of them are not without surprise to find that they are on the mountainside at the moment, looking down can see the quiet and chic medicine town, and looking up can enjoy the scenery of the mountain stream. In the evening when the sun sets, the pink sunset, the verdant mountain trees, the gurgling stream, the curling smoke, and the cool mountain breeze constitute a spiritual bath.

"I didn't expect to have such a chic and comfortable residence!" Xuan Shaoning was sincerely admired.

"Don't just look at the scenery, come and try the medicinal food."

Yuan Xiang, who was serving on the side, slapped her palms lightly when she heard Bai Luoyao speak, and the three maids rushed in from the other side, and after putting down the delicacies, they withdrew in reverse, and the whole process was silent. The three of them looked closely at the dishes on the long table, a plate containing two kinds of green and yellow vegetables, a bowl of rose-red pastry, and the last cup of soup mixed with various colors. Although I don't know exactly what it is, the aroma of the medicinal food has already shown its own characteristics to the comer.

"There is some bitterness in the sweetness," Shi Gong Zhengyuan said after smelling the taste.

"Let me introduce you to the three of you." Bai Zhirui spoke, "This first dish is called green and yellow, green dogwood, yellow is Yuan Huang, the two are matched to relieve heat and relieve heat, avoid insects and mosquitoes, it is a summer taste; The second is to look forward to the return of the king, extracting the color from the begonia petals and kneading it into the dough, which adds angelica, astragalus, and moko, which is sweet and delicious; The last soup is made by boiling lotus seeds, lilies and peaches for three hours with tiger fish in the mountains, which is the most nourishing and nourishing beauty. ”

"No wonder, no wonder!" Duan Lang said loudly: "No wonder my uncle is eternally young, your sisters are like fairies and graceful, and the Bai family's medicinal diet is indispensable!" ”

Now the whole audience was amused, Duan Lang peeked at Bai Zhirui vigorously, she raised her head to meet Duan Lang's gaze, although she knew that she couldn't see it, but Duan Lang always felt that she could sense it.

"This time to recover Yinzhou, there are a lot of casualties, the three of you can be regarded as young talents who stand out, since you have come to the Bai family, you might as well stay for a while, and Luo Yao will be responsible for taking you around."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Xuan Shaoning was opposite Bai Luoyao, the two looked at each other and smiled, but Xuan Shaoning looked restrained, and Bai Luoyao behaved frankly.
