Chapter 159: The Story of Mortal Immortal Cultivation......
This time I heard the words clearly, but Bai He was a little confused about the content of the words: this cold and invincible eldest lady would actually take the initiative to apologize to herself? What's going on? It can't be the wrong medicine, right?
He looked at the eldest lady with a cold face, and really wanted to ask: "Eldest Miss, is your aunt gone?" However, after all, I still didn't have the courage to do so, so I just changed it to a sentence: "It's okay......"
The voice fell, and I suddenly heard the eldest lady say again: "I apologize to you because it was indeed me who was wrong yesterday, and I didn't mean anything else." β
"I know." Bai He nodded, he didn't expect this eldest lady to change his opinion of himself.
It's still the same sentence: three feet of ice, not a day's cold. Although Baihe has made amazing moves since the crossing, the image of the two stunned people in the past is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is impossible to make everyone reverse this opinion at once. Otherwise, why did so many people oppose him entering the council chamber yesterday?
Obviously, this eldest lady is one of them who has not been reversed.
I just don't know, where does her undisguised hostility come from? This made Bai He wonder if "he" had peeked at her in the shower, touched her buttocks, etc., so that she resented so much thought......
But thinking that there was no intersection before, and he didn't want to pat her ass, Bai He signaled that after hearing it, he arched his hand and said: "If there is nothing else, then I will leave first." β
"Hmm." The eldest lady nodded slightly.
So the two of them staggered.
However, after not walking a few steps, Bai He heard a sudden sentence from behind him: "Bai He! β
"Huh?" He stopped, turned to look back, and saw the eldest lady expressionless and said, "Be good to Qing'er." If I find out that you have done anything sorry for her, I will not let you go! After saying that, he threatened with his eyes, and then left gorgeously, leaving only a beautiful back.
Bai He looked at her back and was stunned, and really couldn't understand what kind of trouble this eldest lady was making, could it be that her aunt hadn't left yet?
"Women's hearts, needles under the sea, if you are serious, you will lose......" couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to think about it, and slipped back to the small courtyard of the West Chamber.
As everyone knows, as soon as he turned around, the eldest lady had stopped before he had gone far, looking at his back, and the jade hand that held the power of life and death of a thousand soldiers was also quietly clenched, so tight that even the fingertips were a little white.
She really couldn't understand: such a person, if he wants martial arts but no martial arts, he wants to have no qi domain, and he is not handsome when he says he is handsome, why would Qing'er be tempted by him?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Returning to the West Chamber to sit down for a while, Bai He was about to leave for the winery to see the situation, but before he went out, Mrs. Lin came.
"Ma'am?" Bai He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly greeted him: "Madame is here, if you miss the distance, forgive your sins!" β
"It's all a family, so there's no need to be polite." Mrs. Lin said slightly. Last night, Dad Lan brought a large sum of money over, she didn't sleep at all, and this early in the morning, it was estimated that Baihe was almost up to get up, so she rushed over and happened to meet.
The two of them were polite, and Mrs. Lin explained her intentions.
The gist is: For the sake of Qing'er's good, I am very relieved as a mother. But this money is your hard-earned money, and I'm really embarrassed to ask for it as a mother-in-law, so it's better for you to keep it for yourself.
"That's what happened!" Bai He thought it was something, and after hearing it, he laughed and said: "Madam, the family doesn't talk about the two families, you can take this money with peace of mind, the younger generation is an official anyway, and he leads the court, and he is not bad for money." Thanks to Mrs. for all these years, the younger generation has been unable to repay him, and now that he has finally made a little money, you can use it to buy some elixir for Qing'er to make up for it. As long as Qing'er's realm can go up, no matter how much money it is, it's worth it. β
He remembered that he was shot by Cupid's little boy yesterday, and the second lady's shy and disgusted pretty face appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but swing in his heart......
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she felt that this was indeed the truth, so she didn't refuse. Just listening to Bai He's words, she couldn't help but choke up speechlessly.
Two hundred thousand little money? Still a good deal? As for his sesame mung bean official, I'm afraid that the income for ten lifetimes is not enough for 200,000, right?
But hearing him say this, Mrs. Lin was also very relieved: the amount of money is not the point, the focus is on this heart. It seems that the fourth master is right, after this kid opened his mind, he came as an understanding person, and he didn't complain at all because of yesterday's incident, and he was worried about whether he would think crookedly.
"By the way...... Bai He suddenly remembered something, and said, "Over there at the winery, Madame had better find someone trustworthy to take over." β
"Why?" Mrs. Lin was slightly surprised, "The winery was established by you, so naturally you will manage it." β
Bai He smiled, embarrassed to say that he just wanted to be a little gentleman who just wanted to eat and wait for death, so he found a reasonable reason and said: "Such a big business, the younger generation also came to this day by mistake." Now that the market has finally opened, it is really impossible to take care of it, so it is safer to let the people in the government take over. β
Mrs. Lin glanced at him with a smile, as if she could see through his careful thoughts, but she didn't expose it, she just smiled: "That's fine, you're busy during this time, right?" Then take a break! I'll send someone to handle the business of the winery. Speaking of which, Linglong's child should have arrived these days. β
"Linglong?" Bai He was stunned for a moment, and after asking a few words, it turned out that Mrs. Lin had already written to ask the big housekeeper Miss Linglong to come back, and according to the calculation of the footsteps, she should have returned in the next few days.
That's a coincidence! Bai He's heart was happy.
Don't look at the opening of Lan Kwai Fong, which has made a wave of blood, full of money, in fact, it is just the beginning, and the tail of the hand is still growing! For example, the management of franchise stores always needs to be supervised, right? The technique of steaming wine, the total score is for people to teach, right? And what about the recipe for liquor? Rear management, resource allocation, etc., all need professionals to take care of them.
It's easy to start a business and it's hard to keep a business, and it's a good thing to understand that he asks himself, but managing a business is really not this kind of material! If you are not careful, wouldn't it be worth the loss to mess up this great situation?
Besides, this is also contrary to your "ideal life"! It would be great if that Linglong came back to take care of it herself.
I heard that this Miss Linglong is a business wizard, when she was only thirteen years old, she single-handedly supported the economic lifeline of the Lin family, and under the oppression of the Yao family, she won a rare space for the development of the eldest lady and the second lady, which is really amazing.
With her here, coupled with the experienced Daddy Lan, no matter how much she drops, it is better than Bai He's own fooling.
At that moment, the two talked for a while, and Mrs. Lin said goodbye and left, and couldn't wait to prepare to "add food" to the second lady.
And Bai He, seeing that there was nothing to do, took the little Lori and the dog out for a walk, and officially began to enjoy the "squirrel" he dreamed of.
Days passed in such a hurry.
Bai He either goes to Lan Kwai Fong every day to sit and listen to Mr. Storyteller talk about his "beautiful deeds" and be ruthlessly vain, or he goes to the winery to "educate" Xiao Qi, and then brag and fart with the little hooligans...... In addition, there is nothing to do, and the words "idle" are vividly interpreted, and by the way, take a good look at the scenery of the Great Zhou Dynasty full of fantasy colors, and I don't know how much I can live a small life.
However, within a few days, someone quit.
"Young master, it's not a serious thing to go shopping every day, and it's too boring......"
On this day, the two of them went home until dark, and Xiao Lori began to rub her calves and complain, and her little mouth was so high that she could almost hang up the soy sauce bottle.
Bai He was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Jinling is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and there are many new things. You see, yesterday the tofu Shih Tzu in the west of the city gave birth to twins, the little nose and small eyes are actually like the old king next door, her husband said that this is a godsend, and the child wants to recognize the old king as a father-in-law! Isn't that interesting, where is the boredom? β
"It's all trivial, what's interesting...... little Lori said disgustedly.
"So what do you say is interesting?" Shirakawa asked amusedly.
"Like the young master, you used to make liquor, hold drinking parties, fight couplets, and fight poems, which are very interesting!" Little Lori's eyes are shining with starlight.
Dare to love your little girl just want to see the young master I pretend to be forced to slap the face to find it funny, Bai He secretly vanity, but also a little dumbfounded, and said in his heart: Please, you don't appreciate fatigue This young master still hates his hands.
"Those coquettish things that are against the poetry of the wind and snow are the patent of the literati. Although I live in the Lin family, I am a flat-headed common man, this life is originally a matter of fine water, every day is firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, where is there so much fresh and exciting? In my opinion, shopping and walking the dog every day is also a good day, at least much better than those who have eaten the last meal and the next meal. He said earnestly.
Little Lori flattened her mouth and didn't speak.
Therefore, once this person's vision is raised, it will be difficult to come down. Seeing her aggrieved little appearance, Bai He's mind changed for a moment, and he suddenly laughed: "If it's really boring, why don't I tell you a story?" β
"Storytelling?" Little Lori was stunned.
"Uh-huh, tell a story!" Bai He nodded, and suddenly smiled darkly, "Guaranteed fresh and exciting!" β
Isn't the little girl going to be fresh and exciting? It's getting dark, perfect for telling ghost stories, absolutely fresh, absolutely exciting! Huhha......
"......" Little Lori looked at him a little frightened, and suddenly had a bad premonition, but she couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, so she nodded.
"Very good...... "Shirakawa Ghost laughed, "Well, you go and put out the lights first." β
"Oh......" Little Lori shuddered and turned off the light.
"Now, I'll tell you a story about lanterns......" Shirakawa said as he closed the door, only to hear a creak, and the room suddenly fell into darkness. Little Lori suddenly exclaimed "ah".
Well...... The atmosphere came immediately.
"It is said that a long, long time ago, in a small mountain village, there lived a beautiful woman......"
With a ghost story like this, didn't Bai He come with his mouth open? Otherwise, wouldn't you be very sorry for Zhang Zhen who listened to it together that year?
When it's dark, it can increase people's imagination even more, and Bai He's weird and frustrating tone, in just a few words, completely presents the story of a skin lantern in front of Xiao Lori's eyes.
ββ¦β¦ I saw the woman holding a lantern made of human skin, and with a light touch, the lantern lit up, and I saw the bright red blood dripping from the wick, ticking...... Tick ......"
"Tick ......"
"Tick ......"
"Young, young master...... What kind of sound is that......" Little Lori's voice sounded faintly. Her little hands were about to twist into twists, trembling like sifting chaff, and she shrank into Bai He's arms.
Bai He laughed until he cramped, and the hand hidden behind the chair continued to drip with the teacup, but his mouth trembled and said: "It's difficult, is it ......?"
Gadagada ...... The room suddenly resounded with the sound of the little Lori's front teeth slamming.
At this moment, a faint light suddenly lit up outside the house, flickering and drifting around, accompanied by a voice that flickered far and near outside the door: "Uncle...... Uncle......"
"Uncle...... It's me......" The resentful female voice approached.
The dim yellow ghost fire was wafting outside the door, and the dripping sound in the room continued: tick-tick-tick-
The picture of the female ghost in the painting suddenly appeared in the minds of the two people in the room, and when they looked at the crack in the window, they seemed to be able to feel the cold wind blowing overcast.
"Ahh There's a ghostβ" Little Lori screamed.
"Where is the demon doing something here, and he won't show up quickly!" At this time, even Bai He was a little panicked, and rushed out of the door with a loud shout. As a result, as soon as I went out, I only heard a "bang", as if I had hit something, and then there was a scream of "ouch", and I quickly fixed my eyes and looked, Baihe was suddenly dumbfounded: "You ......"
I saw that three or four people came outside the house, both men and women, one of them was rolling on the ground with his nose covered, and a lantern was knocked over on the ground next to him, and the lamp oil inside was dripping on the ground: tick, tick......
"We ...... We saw that you were back, uncle, but ...... There was no light in the house, so I came to take a look...... As a result, I just heard ......" a little girl explained weakly, pursed her lips and smiled, as if to say: Surprised? Accident not?
Bai He: "......"
Lori: "......"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Ten minutes later.
"Young master, why don't you talk about one more?" Little Lori was obviously scared to death just now, but as soon as she turned her head, she begged for one more again......
Bai He couldn't cry or laugh: "Still talking? Aren't you afraid? β
"I'm afraid." Little Lori nodded seriously, and then said, "But I still want to hear ......"
Bai He: "......"
It turns out that there is no shortage of brave people in the world who are willing to die. It is precisely because of their existence that the world is more colorful, such as the little Lori in front of you.
However, since the listener of the story is not afraid, what is the storyteller afraid of? Bai He thought that he was idle anyway, and there was no pastime in these years, so he laughed and said, "Okay, just talk about it." You go and put out the lights first......"
"Wait!" Little Lori said suddenly, and then ran out. After half a ring, she ran back with a group of little maids and said to Bai Dao: "Okay, young master, you can talk now......
"Wow! There is a story to listen to...... "The eyes of the maids lit up."
Bai He: "......"
Looking at a group of maids with shiny eyes, plus little Lori, Bai He suddenly became serious, coughed lightly, and said, "Since there are so many people, then I will tell you one...... The story of mortal cultivation ......"
"Anyway, it's one night...... The second stunned man opened his eyes wide, staring straight at the black roof made of thatch and mud, and the old quilt covered with his body was already dark yellow, and he couldn't see his original appearance, and there was a faint musty smell as if it were nothing.
The other person next to him was the second brother Han Zhu, who was sleeping very sweetly, and there were bursts of snoring of different degrees from time to time from him.
About half a zhang away from the bed, there is a mud wall made of yellow mud, because of the time, the wall has cracked a few inconspicuous slender holes, from these cracks, there is a faint sound of Han's mother's nagging complaints, occasionally mixed with Han's father, the crackling and sucking sound of the dry tobacco stick.
The second stunned man slowly closed his eyes, which were already a little astringent, and forced himself to fall into a deep sleep as soon as possible. He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't fall asleep honestly, he wouldn't be able to get up early tomorrow, and he wouldn't be able to go into the mountains with the rest of his companions to collect dry firewood.
The second stunned son's surname is Han Mingli, such a decent name, his parents can't come up with it, this is his father's nest made of two coarse grains, begging the old Uncle Zhang in the village to give the name.
Han Li was called a second stunned person by the people in the village, but he was not really stunned or stupid, but he was the most intelligent child in the village, but just like the children in the village, except for the family members, he rarely heard anyone officially call him by his name Han Li, but the title of the second stunned and the second stunned person has been with him to this day......
