The door of the White Mansion was closed, Fan Yu stepped forward and pulled up the knocker, and after knocking a few times, he saw that the door opened a crack, revealing the head of an old man, who was obviously a servant of the White Mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Fan Yu arched his hand and said, "This old man, please inform your lord that my son is visiting." ”

The old servant snorted, looked around, and asked, "Why didn't I see any son?" Hearing this, Fan Yu stepped aside and let Zhou Bian stand in the middle, while Zhou Bian hurriedly smiled at the old servant.

When the old servant saw Zhou Bian, he couldn't help but say angrily, "Whose child is this coming here to play, don't leave quickly, this is Baifu." ”

Fan Yu was suddenly furious, raised his leg and was about to kick it, but was pulled by Zhou Bian, only to see Zhou Bian smiling, throwing a look at himself, Fan Yu immediately understood in his heart, and hurriedly took out a few copper coins from his arms, stuffed them into the old servant's hand, and said with a smile, "Although my son-in-law is a little younger, he does recognize the head of your family, as long as the old man reports it." ”

The old man's face turned better, "Well, seeing that you are so polite, I will go and say it, but it is difficult for the head of the family to say it if he sees it." With that, he slammed the door shut, and was so angry that Fan Yu shook his fist at the closed door a few times before retreating.

After waiting for a while, I only heard the footsteps in the door, several people approached, and then boom, the two doors of the Baifu slowly opened, only to see several servants in the door hurriedly standing on both sides, let out the middle one, this person was dressed in white, long-sleeved and danced, smiling like a spring breeze, isn't it Bai Gui.

After the servant opened the door, Bai Gui strode out to greet him, "Xian Gongzi, Xian Gongzi, since the last goodbye, I often keep my son in mind, and I order the servants to clean the courtyard every day, just to wait for Gongzi, I haven't seen it for a few days, and I thought that Gongzi would forget about it. ”

This Bai Gui still spoke so politely, I don't know what he would think when he knew that Ben Gongzi was here to borrow money, Zhou Bian couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart.

However, since the other party is so polite, Zhou Bian can't be underestimated, and he also bowed down and said, "Don't say a few days, Bai Gongzi's demeanor is better than that day, it's really gratifying." Although he is young, he is troubled, and the head of the family has entrusted him with important tasks, but he is not as talented as Bai Gongzi, but he is young and ignorant, so he has to be busy every day and dare not relax. Prepare a little bow, and hope that Bai Gongzi will accept it with a smile. With a wave of his hand, Liu Yun brought a few jars of wine.

Bai Gui was overjoyed, ordered the servant to take it, and stretched out his hand to invite Zhou Bian and the others to the door, but just saw the old servant standing aside with his head bowed, but Bai Gui stretched out his hand and pointed at the old servant and said to Zhou Bian, "This old man is a little greedy for money, but he is an acquaintance of his father in the township, and he can't excuse himself. ”

As he spoke, he said to the old servant, "I must have received the copper money of the son of Xian again today, and I will not return the reparation." ”

Seeing that the old servant's body was trembling slightly, Zhou Bian naturally wouldn't embarrass other people's families, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, this is my son's reward." ”

After Bai Gui confessed again, he introduced Zhou Bian into the courtyard, only to see that the courtyard was neatly arranged, the road in front of the hall was paved with bluestone strips, and there were dwarf trees planted on both sides, it was spring at this time, the flowers were blooming, there were beautiful maids in the courtyard walking through, all of them were dressed in Luo clothes, and they saw Bai Gui and the two saluted one after another, it was a piece of spring, Zhou Bian couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was really a rich businessman, and the prosperity of this Baifu courtyard was far better than the palace.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bian couldn't help sighing, "Seeing your house, today a certain person knows what Fuhua is, and it can be seen that Bai Gongzi's talent is even more obvious. ”

Bai Gui smiled when he heard this, "This mansion is actually nothing, not to mention that it is not as good as the rich merchants of other countries, even in this Luoyang City, it is not the best." In fact, Bai does not accept others, but admires Childe, Childe should not be humble, Childe's future achievements will definitely be beyond the reach of everyone such as me. ”

This Bai Gui said a little too much, Zhou Bian suddenly got embarrassed, immediately humbled a few words, the two of them walked like this, through a few courtyards, only then stopped in a pavilion deep in the inner courtyard, after the guest and host sat down, Bai Gui explained, "Don't dislike the child, this is the place where my Bai Mansion entertains distinguished guests, and very people can't enter." Fan Yu naturally followed closely behind, but the three of them were led by the Baifu entourage to serve outside this door.

After sitting down, the maid brought the water, and took a sip of the slightly bitter taste, but it was undoubtedly tea, Zhou Bian couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of water is this, is this tea?" ”

Bai Gui smiled lightly, "Gongzi is really talented, legend has it that Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons every day, and got tea to solve it, and there is a legend that when King Wu of Zhou fell, there were people of Bashu who used tea and honey to win the joy of King Wu." But I don't know what Childe heard? ”

The history of tea is really long, but the first thing that Bai Gui said was that he had heard of it, but the second thing he had not heard of was that Zhou Bian shook his head hurriedly. Bai Gui smiled again, "This tea is obtained from Bashu, although the king of Chu is warlike, but it has also opened up the connection between Bashu and my Central Plains, so now it can be obtained with some effort, if it was a hundred years ago, even if there is a thousand gold, it will not be found." ”

Hearing Bai Gui's words, Zhou Bian couldn't help but take another sip, only to feel that the tea was very bitter at this time, presumably there was no way to copy tea in later generations, but unfortunately this tea copying was too professional, and he wouldn't be able to, otherwise he would make a lot of money.

After Zhou Bian put down the teacup, Bai Gui continued, "The first time Gongzi Xian came to our mansion, he was willing to make friends with Zaixia, and he couldn't lose his courtesy. The father is old and inconvenient to welcome guests, but he has a son and a daughter, who can be called to meet the son. Without waiting for Zhou Bian to agree, he waved his hand as he spoke, and the maid guarding the door turned around and went out. Zhou Bian couldn't help sweating profusely, this person was too particular.

After a while, the maid who had departed before turned back, followed by two children, one tall and one short, the elder brother and the younger sister. Zhou Bian didn't expect to come so soon, he hurriedly stood up, and Bai Gui followed and introduced, "This is a dog, named Bai Wuxi, who is ten years old this year, just because he was weak when he was born, he specially chose this name for auspiciousness." No disease, don't come to worship the son soon. ”

The boy was not happy when he saw Zhou Bian's appearance, he just arched his hand casually, pouted and muttered, "This boy is not as tall as me, why do you want me to salute him?" Bai Gui was immediately furious, and shouted, "Young Master Xian is a good friend of Er's father, although he is young, he is deeply respected by Er's father, how dare the kid treat Gongzi like this?" Bai Wuxi knelt down very reluctantly and saluted, so panicked that Zhou Bian hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, but although this Bai Wuxi was disrespectful, this ceremony was still very regular, Zhou Bian didn't hold it, which shows that Bai Gui's family education is strict.

After Bai Wuxi got up, Zhou Bian was also a little apprehensive in his heart, this kid was really older than himself, and seeing that Bai Wuxi did not have a sword on his waist, he untied the short sword hanging on his waist and handed it to Bai Wuxian, "The first time we met, I was not prepared, this short sword has been with a certain body for half a year, and I will give it to you today, as the saying goes, a gentleman can't do without a sword, and I hope that the little boy will not dislike it." ”

That Bai Wuxian then looked happy, squinted at his father on the side, only to see his father smile and nodded gently, then took the sword, and felt that the length of the hand was just right, and his heart was overjoyed. I think it's because this Bai Gui tutor is in charge, this kid has never touched a sword when he's so old, so it seems that although he wasn't prepared, he gave it to the right one this time.

After Bai Wuxi flashed aside, the little girl stepped forward lightly and saluted obediently, Bai Gui was very satisfied, and said with a smile, "This is the youngest daughter below, Bai Yuying, Fang is eight years old, but she is much more sensible than her brother." Zhou Bian wanted to reach out and help her up, but the little girl smiled, although she hadn't grown yet, but she could see that her eyebrows were delicate, her skin was like white jade, and her smile was like a flower. However, no one noticed that Bai Gui nodded lightly when he saw the appearance of the two teenagers.

As soon as his head turned, Zhou Bian had an idea in his heart, untied the jade ring around his waist, handed it to Bai Yuying, and said, "Yu, beautiful jade, Ying, jade color, just the so-called beautiful jade eyes, so I will send this beautiful jade." It's just that although this jade is good, it is still not as good as Miss's case, and I hope Miss will accept it with a smile. In ancient times, people were precocious, presumably this little girl also knew that Zhou Bian was praising her beauty, and her little face couldn't help but blush. Take a closer look at this jade ring, crystal clear, shining with dazzling light, gentle to the touch, the little girl likes it even more, in fact, although the royal family is broken, there is still a little hidden in the palace, not to mention the jade ring that the king carries with him. On the side, Bai Gui nodded thoughtfully when he saw this scene.

After the two children said goodbye and left, Zhou Bian and Bai Gui sat down again, Zhou Bian made up his mind in his heart, and said straight to the point, "Since the last time Bai Gongzi left, a certain is still conscientious, not daring to be careless, how to expect this business to be like a boat against the current, not to advance or retreat, and how to know that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, a small family is small, not as rich as the son, and there is no talent of the son, so unfortunately fell into a predicament, thinking about talking with the son very happily, and hearing the son's high righteousness, so this time it was specially to come to the door to ask for help, I hope the son is not to blame, do not blame." ”

When Zhou Bian said this, he kept looking at Bai Gui, only to see Bai Gui was stunned at first, and then his face relaxed, and when the words fell, he made a straight face, seeing this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but shout in his heart that it was not good, did he still see the wrong person and board the wrong door after all?

Unexpectedly, he heard Bai Gui say solemnly, "Who does the son think he is, and he ignores it when the business is prosperous, and only thinks of visiting when the treatment is difficult, but I don't know what the son is doing with it?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, he was not afraid of rejection, he was afraid of misunderstanding, and as soon as he sorted out his thoughts a little in his heart, he wanted to explain.
