After the road from Zhuangzi to the mansion was opened, the road from Zhuangzi to the town also began to be dredged.

All the people on the Zhuangzi were dispatched, and the speed was very impressive, and by the evening when the sun set, they had already swept to the gate of the college.

Although there is relatively little contact between the college and Zhuangzi, this road must be cleared for the safety of the children in the college and the food and heating problems.

After the road was opened, the news of the academy was transmitted back to the Yang Mansion.

The college was fine, not a single house had collapsed under heavy snow, not a single child was frozen, not a single child was hungry, and even after spending the morning clearing the snow from the yard, classes had already started in the afternoon.

The damage in the town was also reported back to Fuchu. There was a family of three, an old couple and a five-year-old grandson, who slept too hard at night and forgot to add coal to the coal stove. Frozen to death. The little grandson has a big life, and when Yang Ling's people looked for it, there was still one breath left, and after treatment, his life had been saved, but he had too much frostbite on his body, and he was infected with lung disease, so he was bound to be well recuperated and treated.

The people under him checked and found that the child's father had died on the battlefield, and his mother remarried and left him.

Because the child was still injured and couldn't go to the academy, Qu Xiaobai let people take it to the house, and there was still a group of people in the Hengzhi Mansion who were recuperating from their injuries, so they simply let Xiao Dong and Lao Yun take care of it, which was more conducive to treating the frostbite and lung disease on the children.

Yang Ling had no opinion, but because he was afraid that lung disease would be contagious, he ordered Qu Xiaobai not to go to the patients' houses to tell stories and stories.

Qu Xiaobai considered that he was still pregnant with a child, so he agreed to Yang Ling's request. He also instructed Dong Lang and Lao Yun to take precautions and not let everyone be infected.

Lao Yun is more thoughtful and careful, it is recommended to let the child live in a room alone, there are a lot of side houses on Qingjun's side, this is easy to do, when the person came, Lao Yun picked up a side room and placed the child.

Even so, Yang Ling didn't allow Qu Xiaobai to go to the house where his subordinates were recuperating.

It is claimed that it is afraid of contagion, but who knows what the real reason is.

Anyway, after listening to the story told by the housemother about a scholar who stayed overnight in Lanruo Temple and met a female ghost, the guards knew that it was impossible to hear such an interesting book from the housemother again in this life.

The day after the road between Zhuangzi and the town was completely opened, Lin Pei came to the house.

After Lin Hutou sent a message to the main courtyard, Yang Ling originally wanted to refuse to see him, but Qu Xiaobai relented and persuaded: "It's far away, the sky is not good, it's strange to refuse him like this, let's see what happens to him." ”

"Then let him go to the flower hall." Yang Ling thought about it and said reluctantly.

Lin Hutou went to invite someone, but Qu Xiaobai said: "I don't want to see him, I'll wait for you in the study." Go to the flower hall yourself. ”

Yang Ling raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, "I'm not worried about you alone, so let's go with me." ”

Uncle Yang's words are beautiful, but in fact, the implication is just one sentence: Want to leave me behind? No way.

Qu Xiaobai knew that she couldn't escape, so she had to put down her pen and stand up, but she really didn't want to see Lin Pei, so she still made a final effort - she was tired of Yang Ling, and said in a snort: "Brother, I don't want to go, okay?" ”

The coquettish was sprinkled on this, but I didn't expect Yang Ling to buy it at all: "No." ”

"Then you are not allowed to sip dry vinegar."

Yang Ling raised his eyebrows, "Huh? Then I can't guarantee that. ”

It's so shameless. She was afraid that he would be jealous so she didn't want to see Lin Pei, but he just didn't let her go!

"Okay...... Go! Qu Xiaobai squeezed out two words from between his teeth, he was not afraid, she was very afraid!

Withdrawing from Yang Ling's body, she took the fox fur and put it on her body, Yang Ling helped her tie the strap casually, and smiled while tying it: "That's right." It's dangerous for you to stay here alone, or follow me, I can protect you. ”

Qu Xiaobai: "......" is shameless, and she is embarrassed to be so forceful, and it is him, she looked at Yang Ling, and said seriously: "Well, my husband loves me so much, pities me, and considers me, I am very moved." Let's go, then. ”

Yang Ling is also serious: "This is all for the husband to do, Mrs. doesn't have to say words of thanks." ”

It's too sour. Both of them were so sour that they were trembling with each other, and they were thinking in their hearts at the same time that if the husband and wife talked like this every day, life would be too boring.

Fortunately, neither of them is such a person.

Qu Xiaobai didn't hold on for a moment, and immediately revealed his true form, pointing at Yang Ling and laughing: "You sour Confucian, you are going to anger me!" Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait to see what this guy Lin Pei is going to do! ”

Qu Xiaobai pulled Yang Ling's arm and pulled it out.

"I'm by you, too!" Yang Ling suddenly got started, hugged Qu Xiaobai horizontally, laughed, and strode towards the flower hall.

Luoluo has been serving her master for so many days, and it is the first time she has seen the male master laugh so happily and so loudly. And...... Did he just hold his wife to see Lin Pei?

Luoluo felt a little pity for the master Lin who preached and taught and solved doubts.

Fortunately, Yang Ling was not as informal as Luoluo thought, and when he arrived at the door of the flower hall, he put Qu Xiaobai down, and the two entered the house side by side, Lin Pei stood up and arched his hand: "Young Master Yang, Mrs. Yang." ”

Yang Ling nodded: "Mr. Lin, please take a seat." ”

"Please."

The two sat down separately, and the little servant served tea, bowed, and stepped aside.

Qu Xiaobai was much more casual, took off the fox fur outside, sat on the soft stool in front of the charcoal cage, and said leisurely: "It's all so familiar, Mr. Gongzi, are you two sour?" ”

"Etiquette cannot be abolished, Mr. Lin is not only the champion appointed by the emperor, but also the master of the academy, it is not an exaggeration to call him a gentleman."

Qu Xiaobai couldn't help but raise his eyes and glanced at Yang Ling.

So polite? It's not like he's always done. When he saw Mu Nanyun, Lin and Pei Zhi, he had always been straightforward, and he hated that every word was pierced by a knife in the lungs of these two people.

What kind of crazy thing is this smoking today?

To her surprise, not only Yang Ling went crazy, but Lin Pei also went crazy.

He actually followed Yang Ling's words and said: "What Yang Gongzi said is very true, the friendship of a gentleman should be as indifferent as water, knowing etiquette and etiquette. ”

Qu Xiaobai: "......" The sun came out in the west. I knew what kind of gentleman's way you were going to talk about today, so I played with toffee.

"Mr. Lin is here today, I don't know what to do?" Yang Ling continued to speak softly with his gentlemanly demeanor.

Lin Pei also said the same tone as him: "I am here to thank Yang Gongzi for what he has done for the people." ”

"Mr. Lin misunderstood, I didn't do anything for the people."

"Yang Gongzi, don't be modest, I already know about those coal stones and coal stoves. Yang Gongzi's willingness to give to the people those life-saving things is very admirable. In the past, I misunderstood Yang Gongzi. Again, I apologize to Yang Gongzi. ”

Yang Ling took a sip of tea and said, "I don't think it's something to praise for giving people warmth, so there's nothing to be humble." As for what Mr. Lin said about thanking and apologizing for the people, I am curious, what is Mr. Lin's position? ”

Cough...... Sure enough, the wolf can't become a sheep when he puts on sheep's clothing, like Yang Ling, if he doesn't stab Lin Pei a few times, he will be regarded as seeing Lin Pei in vain today. Qu Xiaobai pricked up his ears. She also wondered, how would Lin Pei explain his position?

Lin Pei said: "I remember chatting with Mrs. Yang in the past, talking about the general trend of the world, Mrs. Yang sighed and said, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, I have been smacking this sentence for a long time, the more I touch, the more I feel, this is really right!" Although Yang Gongzi is gracious to the people, there is no difference between gracious to me, and I should thank you on behalf of the people. ”

Qu Xiaobai wanted to greet the eighteenth generation ancestors of his family in his heart.

Can't you talk to people? Pulling her as a shield, what kind of gentleman is it? She glanced at these two people, pouted, they were just wolves in sheep's clothing, and where was there really a true gentleman.

Yang Ling laughed falsely and said, "How can Mr. Lin take the woman's words seriously? Mr. Lin is the champion hand-picked by the Son of Heaven, so don't be bluffed by her little woman. ”

Well? Qu Xiaobai's eyebrows were raised. Did this guy take the wrong medicine today? She glared at Yang Ling angrily, but Yang Ling didn't seem to see her angry gaze, and the old god was still there.

Lin Pei smiled faintly and said, "Mrs. Venerable knows astronomy and geography, and she is amazingly talented, how can she be compared to other women?" Yang Gongzi is also too humble. ”

Is it really good for you to openly discuss her in front of a woman like this? One by one, pretending to be a gentleman, it's not like pretending to be like one!

Qu Xiaobai brushed his sleeves and said coldly: "This woman went to see, what kind of food is prepared in the kitchen at noon, Mr. Lin came from afar, and he is going to go this way for the people, what to say, our Yang Mansion can't treat Mr. Lin slowly, so please ask Mr. Lin to deign and eat in the mansion at noon." ”

This tone is not at all like the tone of wanting to leave food, Lin Pei is not stupid, how could he not hear it, and immediately got up and said: "Mrs. Yang doesn't have to be polite, just eat at the academy next time." ”

Qu Xiaobai was even more polite: "Mr. Lin really doesn't stay for lunch?" Lin Pei just wanted to say a few more kind words, but Qu Xiaobai took the lead and continued: "That's okay, Mr. Lin, please take care of yourself, and the little woman won't accompany you first." ”

Yang Ling didn't stop her, but his face was obviously not good-looking.

Lin Pei looked at the posture of the mountain rain coming, and got up very cleverly to say goodbye, "Young Master Yang, there are still classes in the academy in the afternoon, so I won't stay long." Leave. ”

Yang Ling got up and didn't stay long: "Mr. Lin walks slowly." There was not even a kind word, it seemed that he was really angry by Qu Xiaobai brushing his sleeves away.

Coming out of the flower hall with Lin Pei, Yang Ling ordered Lin Hutou to send off the guests, and he turned around and went straight to his courtyard.

Lin Pei had long been accustomed to Yang Ling like this, but he didn't care, now he looked at Yang Ling, it was pleasing to the eye inside and out, even if it was this cold style, he felt that it was cute edges and corners, not impolite.
