Sycamore leaves fall all over the city. Bai Yi followed his adoptive father Yu Wenxing, changed from water to land, and walked all the way into this strange city. Yu Wenxing held his daughter's small, soft and boneless hand, stood outside the gate, looked at his son Yuwen Changkong, who was screaming and jumping, and sighed. Changkong is thin and tall, only 9 years old, and he is already two heads taller than the white clothes. If it is said that it is a brother and sister, it is also the fate of his previous life, and his facial features have a bit of the shadow of white clothes: they are also apricot eyes, bigger than those in white clothes, black and bright, a small pointed face like white porcelain, a very beautiful nose, black bushes of sideburns, sharp sword eyebrows, lips that are raised without smiling, and some daughters. But his behavior is completely a muddy boy, and his mouth is verbose, which probably means "I have calculated that my father is coming back", "I have been waiting in the Hou Mansion for a few days", "Every time my father comes back, he goes to the Hou Mansion first", "Now I have returned home first", not only that, "I also have a little sister" ,—— little sister!

Changkong jumped for a long time like a monkey that had unlocked the lock, pounced on the white clothes, and was pushed by Yu Wenxing. "Stand still, don't scare your sister!"

"The one my dad brought back is really for me to be my sister? What is your name? Not leaving? Stay with me? Yuwen Changkong controlled his body, stood as orderly as possible, and smiled brightly. Bai Yi heard his question and looked up at his adoptive father. Yu Wenxing's gaze softened when he met this new daughter, and he nodded with a smile. "Tell your brother yourself."

"Well," Bai Yi looked at the sky again, "My name is Bai Yi, and I'm not leaving." ”

Changkong instigated his father with his eyes, feeling that the danger was not very great, so he tentatively approached, and finally took the little hand in white, "Call brother." ”

"Brother." Bai Yi said in a tender voice and shouted crisply. Changkong gently shook his sister's hand, for fear of hurting her, and agreed seriously: "Hey! Good sister, whatever you want, even if it's the moon in the sky, my brother will give it to you! ”

Bai Yi stayed in Yuwen Mansion. On the second floor of the house in the deepest part of the back garden of the house, is her boudoir, which her adoptive father repainted, and the wood carvings overlap the window lattices, large beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs, fine silk and satin and various colored utensils, and she is extremely spoiled. Yu Wenxing sent six proper middle-aged women to take care of Bai Yi, but he never arranged a close maid, just so that no one could find out Bai Yi's identity. Changkong gets up every day and runs to the back garden, and at night he doesn't leave, and eats, plays, and reads with Baiyi. Don't look at the naughty sky, the heart is very meticulous, and even my sister's winter clothes, cotton skirts, and small coats are personally seen, selected, and come up with ideas, which are quite effective.

Yuwen's family is a family of military generals, and Yuwenxing is now leading the position of the general of the right tunwei of the dynasty, following the general Hou Chong'an of the Great Pillar State, and is the confidant of General Hou. Every day, you have to go through the Hou Mansion or the Yamen to do business. Yuwen Changkong will also join the army in the future, so he invited the master to practice martial arts every day. Whether it is riding and shooting, reading, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Changkong's grades go up and down, Baiyi follows his brother, he learns everything, and he practices everything, but everything is much stronger than Changkong. Changkong was not only not angry, but became more and more proud. In the winter that day, Changkong stood at the mouth of the alley, crackling and blowing his own sister-in-law, provoking a few children who were kings and hegemons.

This alley is called Huaping Lane, 20 miles away from the south of the palace, the alley is as deep as the sea, and the north and south are densely lined up with the mansions of the nobles and nobles of the dynasty. None of the young masters are trouble-free, the north is still martial, as long as there is no major incident and it hurts the face of the adults, most of the family will let them make trouble, turn a blind eye. The children were fighting around, and gradually there were a few overlords, and the overlords were followed by a bunch of followers. Only Changkong didn't follow them, but he picked a good day, boasting that his sister was invincible all over the world, and by the way, he ridiculed the footwork and palm skills of several little overlords, and the more he talked, the happier he became, and more and more half-grown children gathered in front of him, one by one, blushing and rolling up his sleeves.

No one said a word, and these angry bear children suddenly attacked together and rushed to the sky. Changkong was suddenly stunned, and he was so frightened that he retreated back, just to retreat to Baiyi's side. Bai Yi was wearing a newly made bright purple brocade cotton robe, combing her bun, she was originally going out to eat with her brother, but when she encountered this scene, her eyes flashed, and she simply left the sky behind her, her right foot gently stepped back on the ground, and her left foot forward, posing in a posture ready to fight.

No one took her seriously.

A moment later, she and her brother lay beside a circle of crying and crying children from the Picture Screen Alley.

Changkong didn't stop in moderation, he laughed, kicked the foot of the little overlord leader, pulled Baiyi back, and deliberately said loudly: "Baiyi, you can jump, you win the fight, you have to jump when you go home, like this, you learn from me, okay?" ”

So, the injured people who went to the place watched the backs of the little brothers and sisters bounce away, and they were heartbroken.

Before dinner, Yu Wenxing's door was blocked by the child's elders, he quickly knew the truth, his left hand stretched out the air, his right hand pulled the white clothes, and there was a small guy behind him, respectfully holding the thanksgiving ceremony, and walked through the painting screen alley, and finally calmed down the situation. The attitudes of the parents were not all the same, but they all asked the same question: "General Yuwen, where did this young lady who suddenly appeared in your house come from?" ”

In the middle of the night, there was a heart-rending scream in Yuwen's house, Changkong was hung by Yuwenxing on the beam of the house with a whip and pumped to death, Baiyi didn't cry or make trouble, just knelt next to him and pleaded, until Yuwenxing's own hand was cramping with pain, and the beating was over.

Bai Yi personally guarded his brother's bedside, broke the snacks with his little hands and fed them to his brother, and blew him cold with the decoction. Changkong was completely crazy, proud for a while, smiling and counting the beatings of those children, and hating and hating for a while, blaming them for complaining. Bai Yi looked at his brother as if he was fine, and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

After the injury was healed, Changkong was forced to kneel in front of his father and swore that he would never take his sister out to cause trouble. Yu Wenxing frowned, and told his 9-year-old son about Baiyi's life experience. Changkong cried unspeakably when he heard it, it turned out that his sister was so pitiful. Although he was a bear, he also knew that his sister should not show up more, so he raised his hand and swore a curse to reassure his father that he would never take his sister out again.

And just like that, winter passed. One spring, one summer. Datong's autumn is coming, Baiyi is 9 years old, and she never goes out again. On the day of her family's death, her adoptive father and brother accompanied her to make sacrifices in the back garden. Bai Yi looked at the paper money floating in the autumn wind, and he couldn't remember the faces of his grandfather and mother. I just remember the feeling of stepping on moss under my feet when I walked out of death row. How can this be the case - obviously wearing shoes?

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuwenxing went to the court to receive and thanks, and returned home before the sun set. With a smile on his face, he instructed Changkong, white clothes to clean up, dress up, and go out together.

"Going out together? With a sister? "The sky is full of surprises. Yu Wenxing was full of interest, and nodded while taking the tea poured by the next person, "Hou Cong, the eldest grandson of the Hou Mansion, is 14 years old today." The emperor personally conferred the post of General Wuwei. It can be seen that the current imperial court attaches great importance to the Hou family. ”

The grandson of the old boss was rewarded, and even Yuwen's family had a light on his face, and Yuwenxing was naturally happy. "General Hou is going to hold a banquet in the mansion, and he told me to take you to the lively and lively. Be obedient and do not say much. ”

The mansion of the Hou family, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, is in Dongfeng Lane, 10 miles west of the palace. This alley is north-south, it is said to be an alley, in the middle is a bluestone road ten zhang wide, and there are many small alleys on both sides, and the nobles who are richer and more upper-class than the residents of Huaping Lane live here, which can be described as a crown like a cloud, and the power is overwhelming. Sitting in white clothes on a plain green sedan chair, Yu Wenxing was accompanied by Changkong on horseback, and the grandfather and son came to the Hou Mansion together.

That night was a family banquet, and all the people who came were Hou Chong's old subordinates, all of whom dragged their children and daughters. Hou Chong and his wife entertained the guests together, cordially holding each child's hand, giving red envelopes, taking snacks, and then inviting them in to take a seat. Next to General Hou and his wife, there was a young man standing awe-inspiringly, dressed in a black satin suit, standing tall, already catching up with Yu Wenxing, his right hand pressed on the saber, and the facial features of the axe and machete were like flowers and jade under the rising moon, like snow and ice, which made people's hearts flutter.

The boy followed his grandparents to welcome the guests into the table, and his every move was in line with etiquette, but he was drenched in cold. Yu Wenxing and his children are about to come to Hou Chong's family.

Changkong pinched the little hand in white and pouted, "You don't know, that is Hou Cong, who is as proud as a big fool, and never wants to look at me squarely, hum!" ”
