In the living room of the front yard, Wu Qi had already been waiting for a cup of tea here with the guests invited by the eldest young master. I heard the young master say that this man is Lou Zhan, the one who has been in the limelight recently, a unique person in the imperial city. Wu Yu only dared to stand by the door and take a sneak peek, and when she got closer, she was a little frightened.

In front of the hall, the families in the Taishi's Mansion have swept the snow on both sides of the road, making way for people to walk, a few lonely sycamores stand in the empty courtyard, and farther away, there is a pavilion, two or three small pavilions, behind the pavilion, there are some evergreen trees with branches and leaves covered with layers of snow.

The sky was gray, the cold wind was cold, Wu Yu shrank his hand and paced under the eaves of the porch, suddenly heard the sound of someone approaching, turned around and looked, but it was a little maid with a pot of charcoal fire, the little girl's cheeks and the tip of her nose were frozen red, when she saw Wu Qi, put down the charcoal brazier, rubbed her hands, and grinned: "Wu Qi, I heard that an important guest came to the Taishi Mansion, so I want to go and take a few looks from afar, is it okay?" ”

Wuyu squatted down, put her hands on the charcoal brazier and roasted, Wen Yan looked up at her, and said with a smile: "For the sake of your dedication, I will let you look at it like that, just one glance, no more." ”

The little maid frowned: "Ah, this charcoal brazier is the ...... I prepared for my uncle"

"Hey, that's what's wrong with you, you all know that it's our aunt from the Taishi Mansion who came, and you ran to see it, you think you're our girl, and your uncle can let you watch it casually?"

"You ......" The little girl blushed, pouted, looked at Wuyu's proud appearance, a little angry, and protected the end of the charcoal brazier on the ground in her arms, "You know, this is what I prepared for our uncle, and I am cheeky to roast the fire, do you think you are our aunt, can your uncle's brazier let you use?" The little maid held her chin high and walked away.

Wu Yu froze in place, her face was red and white for a while.

After a while, Wu Qi saw his master and eldest young master coming from the direction of Peach Blossom Pavilion, and hurriedly greeted him, saying, "Master, eldest young master, my uncle is still waiting in the hall." ”

Bai Fengyi bowed his head and said, "Well, let him wait a little longer, let's go slowly." ”

"Yes, he should wait a little longer, if it weren't for him, Yirong wouldn't be sick." Bai Yiyun said angrily.

This building is really harmful, his own sister has never seen him, he actually has the ability to hook the soul, so that a simple girl like De Yirong has a heart disease for him, and his heart is sick...... After all, isn't it lovesickness? People haven't seen each other once, how can they get lovesickness?

The three of them entered the pavilion to take shelter for a while, deliberately dragging out the time not to see Lou Zhan. The housekeeper Bai Sheng was coming back from outside, and when he passed by the pavilion, he caught a glimpse of his master and young master standing in the pavilion, and the young master's little servant also followed, so he didn't feel puzzled, so he ran in diligently to ask.

Bai Fengyi stroked his gray beard and said, "The old man has recently discovered that the scenery here is even better than other places, so I came to take a look." ”

Bai Yiyun: "My father likes it here, I should be filial as a son, and I should accompany my father more." ”

Wu Zhen: "Where the young master is, I will be there." ”

Bai Sheng took out a letter from his arms and said to Bai Yiyun: "Young master, the people in the palace have sent you a letter, saying that they want you to open it in person. ”

As he spoke, he handed the letter to Bai Yiyun.

Bai Yiyun frowned slightly, and asked casually, "Is it the eldest princess?" ”

"The people from the palace didn't say it clearly, but the eldest young master knew it himself."

Bai Yiyun first looked at the letter a few times, only to see that the envelope was made of kraft paper, sealed with wax oil, and there was no word on the outside; Opened up, there is only a piece of letter paper inside, the handwriting is not very pleasing to the eye, but it is better in neatness, you can see the seriousness of the person who wrote the letter, the number of words is not much, only "look forward to the king, think for a long time" six words.

Bai Fengyi stretched his neck and glanced at it, but Bai Yiyun's whole face turned red. These days, he is busy with the business of the cloth village and tea house he has run, and the emperor's marriage to his little sister has distracted him, so how can he have any extra time to visit the princess who has been married to him since he was a child.

I still remember that when he was seventeen years old, he entered the palace for the first time and met the princess, but he didn't have any thoughts about the princess, but the princess fell in love with him at first sight. At first, every few days, the palace sent someone to deliver a letter, Bai Yiyun could also write a few replies to show respect, and then developed to a daily one, he was really lazy to deal with it, and simply never received the letter again, later, the princess actually came to the Taishi's Mansion in person, asking him why he ignored her, Bai Yiyun naturally did not tell the truth, so he had to shirk the matter and perfunctory past, but the princess was very infatuated, and still sent a letter every once in a while, and the letter was nothing more than some meaty words such as missing, which simply gave people goosebumps.

Bai Yiyun refolded the letter, still put it in a brown paper envelope, put it in his sleeve, turned his head, and saw his father looking at him inexplicably.

"Celestia sent it?"

"Yes, but it's all useless words......"

"You don't like it?"

"I can't say whether I like it or not, my son really doesn't feel like her."

"Oh, that's okay, in the future, the princess will fall in love with someone else, and you will be free."

"If the princess is still so infatuated, I have no other way."

"Well, you can still get out of the marriage, as long as you marry a wife quickly, in the future, unless she is willing to be a concubine......"

"Dad, brother-in-law should have waited for a long time, shouldn't we go back?"

"It's almost, wait any longer, but it will be our sin, but let him sit in the hall very comfortably."

After discussing, the two immediately left Xiao Xuan. Wuyu and the housekeeper were stunned when they listened.

Seeing that his master was gone, Wuqi hurriedly followed. The housekeeper went on his own.

In the hall, the young general sat up straight, the hot tea in the teapot had already cooled, but he drank it vigorously, poured himself a drink, and did not need to be accompanied by anyone, looking at the snow scene in front of the hall and came back to his senses.

After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the broken snow outside, like the scene of two people.

When Lou Zhan looked at it, he saw the Taishi walking over with Bai Yiyun. Bai Yiyun has a crown of hair tied on the top of his head, his forehead is smooth, his facial features are handsome, his eyes are particularly bright, he is wearing a dark robe, and he is wearing black boots on his feet, in short, his appearance and temperament are eight or nine points similar to Bai Fengyi.

As soon as the two arrived, a person hurriedly ran in at the door, wearing a gray wide hat on his head, a short slanted jacket of the same color on his upper body, and wide waisted trousers of the same color on his lower body, tied with a leg belt, and his face was not outstanding.

As soon as this person came in, he followed behind Bai Yiyun, and it turned out to be his little servant.

When he was in the General's Mansion before, Bai Yiyun personally came to invite him, and the two had already met, but this time they met only slightly.

Although the master's family was late, as a prospective son-in-law, Lou Zhan couldn't say anything, so when his father-in-law and brother-in-law sat down, he bowed his hand and said, "My son-in-law has seen my father-in-law." ”

Yuezhang is the prince of the dynasty, although there is no real power, but the reputation is not low, once taught the former prince to read, the knowledge and knowledge is extremely deep and extensive, there is no doubt in this regard. He himself is a military general, but in terms of literature, it is also worth mentioning, and the other party is also his predecessor in this regard.

Therefore, in any case, this father-in-law should be respected.

Bai Fengyi stroked his gray beard, and finally had the opportunity to look at this prospective son-in-law carefully, up and down.

Lou Zhan silently lowered his head and looked at himself. Today, because he heard the news that Bai Yirong was sick, he hurriedly followed his brother-in-law over, and before he had time to change his clothes, he was only wearing the colored robe he wore when he was at home in his spare time, and his hair was still neatly tied, so he should still be able to enter the eyes of his father-in-law.
