Chapter 41: Yan An's Visit

Early the next morning, Xue Hu didn't sleep well last night, and after dealing with some business matters, he was going to sleep for a while, but he didn't want to be reported by someone to Yan An. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Withdrawing from his subordinates, Xue Hu beat his spirits, made a cup of tea for Yan An, and handed it over: "Brother Yan, why are you here, the adults have a reply so quickly?" ”

Yan An didn't take his tea, and his expression was a little cold: "No, my lord asked me to inform Master Xue that there is a change in our transaction." ”

As he spoke, he pulled a new list out of his bosom.

"Brother Yan, is there any misunderstanding?" Seeing him like this, Xue Hu's heart fluttered, and his head hurt even more, "The matter of the little girl, I also propose, if the adults think it is inappropriate, then give up." ”

"Master Xue, let's take a look at the list first." Yan An's middle finger tapped the bamboo slip on the table, "I haven't told the adults about the marriage yet." ”

"It's not a marriage thing?" Old Man Xue frowned, opened the bamboo slips, and found out the difference from the dense fly-headed small characters, "20,000 stone of grain, 1,000 stone of forage, and 200 Xiliang horses?" This ......"

"This transaction has to be completed before the winter." Yan An added again, his face expressionless, "We will provide five hundred short knives and five hundred spears, is it enough, Master Xue?" ”

Regarding Yan An's sudden change in attitude, Xue Hu realized that something must have happened, and his expression changed suddenly: "Brother Yan, what happened?" My Xue family has never done anything to be sorry for adults. ”

"Ha ......" Yan An's expression was a little loose, and he pointed to the bamboo slip in his hand, "Master Xue, it's still the same sentence, if your Xue family can't complete this transaction, we can go to the Zhang family and the Du family, if they don't finish it either, we don't mind looking for other families in Yanzhou, such as the Yuan family in Shanyang." ”

"Brother Yan, are you threatening me?"

"Threatening you?" The muscles of Yan An's cheeks squirmed for a while, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart, and leaned in front of Xue Hu, "Xue Hu, I think you are dizzy, and you forgot the pain of the scar?" Actually, if it weren't for the adults, I wouldn't have been the only one who came to Xue Mansion this morning. ”

After speaking, Yan An knocked his fingers on the table twice: "Master Xue, you are so self-conscious!" ”

"It's not...... Brother Yan. Xue Hu saw him turn around to leave, and hurriedly chased after him, "What happened?" You've got to give me a letter. ”

Glancing at Xue Hu, it seemed that he really didn't know, Yan An took a breath, his eyes softened slightly: "Master Xue, you better ask your precious son." ”

"Xue Ren?" Xue Hu was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed greatly, "Last night...... He went to Southside last night? ”

"Master Xue, take care of your son."

Respectfully sending Yan An out, Xue Hu returned to the study, his chest continued to rise and fall, and swept all the things on the table: "Someone!" Bring Xue Ren here for me! ”

"Wait." The frightened Xue Gui just stepped out of the threshold, and was called back by Xue Hu, "Go and call Bai Qi for me first." ”

"Yes." This time, Xue Gui waited at the door, and saw that Xue Hu did not regret it, so he trotted to the backyard.

Xue Hu closed his eyes, poured a bowl of herbal tea, and took a few deep breaths before his emotions gradually calmed down.

"Master, it's white."

When he opened his eyes, Bai Qi was escorted in, and several reddish-brown whip marks on his white clothes were particularly conspicuous.

"Smack!"

Angry, Xue Hu slapped the table hard and stood up: "What are you doing?" What does the Xue family do to you on weekdays? ”

"This ......" The few family members who escorted Bai Qi glanced at each other and hesitated, "It was the young master who asked us to do this." ”

"Young Master...... It's the young master again......"

The fierceness in Xue Hu's eyes flashed, and his mood calmed down at the moment: "Untie it, and then go out." ”

"Xue Gui, you stay and close the door."

"Yes......"

After a while, the family who came with him untied the rope of Bai Qi's wrist and walked out, leaving the three of them in the room.

"Bai Qi, you sit first."

Xue Hu smiled and gestured to Bai Qi, seeing that he shook his head and was still standing, he didn't care, turned his head to Xue Gui and asked, "These people are from Changyi?" ”

"Yes, sir." Xue Gui's head hung lower.

"How many people did Xue Ren bring back this time?"

"Five hundred and twenty-eight in all." Xue Gui didn't have to think about it, "Twenty-eight family members arranged to do things at home, and there were five hundred private soldiers left, so I bought a mansion and placed them outside." ”

"You go in a minute, bring some coils, and scatter them for me."

"Scattered?" Xue Gui was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw that Xue Hu's eyes contained murderous intent, and quickly lowered his head and responded, "Yes." "Will the one that comes to your mouth" Tell the young master to swallow it.

"The people in the family will stay, and Ren'er must have a few people who can call it." Xue Hu thought for a moment, and didn't kill all the men and horses that Xue Ren brought back, "Okay, you can go out." ”

After speaking, seeing that he didn't move, and his eyes were still drifting to Bai Qi, Xue Hu smiled: "It's okay, you go, I don't have to worry about Bai Qi." ”

When Xue Gui withdrew, Xue Hu moved his gaze to Bai Qi and said gently: "Bai Qi, is it your name?" ”

"Master Qiqi, Bai Qi is the name given to me by the young master."

"Don't be so restrained." Xue Hu waved his hand, motioning for him to relax, "Then what is your real name?" ”

However, Bai Qi still looks like a wooden one, and he is serious: "Master Qiqi, the little one's real name is Wang Ping." ”

"Where are you from?"

"The Trenchers of Brazil."

"Bashu? How did you come to Yanzhou, your parents? ”

"Master Qiyu, my young parents died early, and I heard that Yanzhou is easy to make a living, so I came."

"Hehe, I see." Xue Hu nodded, and at this time, he asked the purpose of calling him here, "Bai Qi, you went out with the young master last night, what happened, you tell me in detail." ”

"Yes, sir." Bai Qi lowered his hand and recalled, "Yesterday afternoon, I took the young master to Nancheng first, where a new restaurant was opened. After coming out, the young master was a little drunk, passed by a house, and saw a young lady standing at the door, so he asked me to stop. ”

"During the banquet, the young master heard that there was a kabuki standing on the street near Nancheng to solicit customers, maybe he thought that the young lady was also a kabuki, the two quarreled a few words, the young master wanted to grab each other's hands, but was slapped by the young lady."

"Then, when the young lady came back, the young master asked me to go up and teach them a lesson." Bai Qi told the process of Yang Yun easily snatching his iron whip at that time, and according to Xue Hu's meaning, he roughly described the appearance of Yang Yun and Li Manying.

Then, I saw Xue Hu sigh deeply, and the whole person seemed to be a few years older in an instant: "Bai Qi, this matter, Ren'er did something wrong, I apologize to you for him." ”

"Sir, no!"

Seeing that Xue Hu was about to bow down to himself, Bai Qi hurriedly rushed over, holding Xue Hu with both hands, and with a little effort, Xue Hu couldn't bow anymore: "The little one took the Xue family's food, and he should have relieved the young master's worries, but now his martial arts are not as good as the other party, and he should be punished." ”

"Besides, the small ones are born with thick skin, and they can withstand a few whips."

Xue Hu sat back under Bai Qi's support: "Bai Qi, I want to ask you something." ”

"The old man is serious, and if you have something to order, you just want it." Bai Qi arched his hands and stood solemnly.

"I think you have an excellent character and martial arts, I hope you can watch Xue Ren for me. If you see that pair of men and women again in the future, no matter what Xue Ren wants you to do, you must stop him and bring him back. ”

"If he refuses...... I will allow you to break his legs. ”

"Yes......" Bai Qi didn't ask the reason, and nodded in response.

"You go out and let Xue Gui call Xue Ren over."

"Yes, the little one."
