This was also his first glass of wine today, which was enough to show his concern about Bai Jiujiu.

Chen Tanhua admired it even more, seeing Xu Huaiqing like this, it seemed that he cared a lot about his wife, but when he thought of the scene he saw on the street today, he couldn't help but be a little worried, "That Miss Zhao ......"

"It's not about me." Xu Huaiqing said indifferently, it really has nothing to do with him, he has never provoked Zhao Feihuai, and he doesn't want to provoke her.

Chen Tanhua shook her head, feeling that Xu Huaiqing was thinking about things too simply, "The Zhao family is very powerful in the capital, I heard that Miss Zhao is rude, and if she sees something she likes, she must keep it for herself, if it doesn't work, she will destroy it." ”

"I am the champion appointed by the emperor, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, she has the ability to destroy me, so come on." Xu Huaiqing snorted lightly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"I'm afraid that her father and brother will hinder it." Chen Tanhua was sincerely worried about Xu Huaiqing.

"It's okay, Brother Chen."

Chen Tanhua saw him like this, so he stopped mentioning this topic, originally drinking was a happy thing, but it didn't affect his mood, and he talked about Bai Jiujiu instead.

When Xu Huaiqing mentioned his wife, his expression suddenly became much gentler, and Chen Tanhua was a little envious, and he secretly wanted to find such a confidante in his heart.

"Brother Xu doesn't need to worry, Mrs. Ling is such a big person, and she will not get lost." Chen Tanhua patted Xu Huaiqing's shoulder comfortingly.

"Well, she's just a little bit playful." Xu Huaiqing nodded, his tone was full of pampering, which made Chen Tanhua's teeth sore, and he felt that he had suffered 10,000 critical hits. Hurry up and leave this table to find someone else to drink.

The other Jinshi who were waiting next to him immediately made up for it, Xu Huaiqing is now the champion, and when his official position falls, I am afraid that he will not be able to invite him out easily, and if he does not make friends at this time, he will have no chance in the future.

Adhering to this idea, those jinshi can be said to have squeezed their heads for the position next to Xu Huaiqing, and after a banquet, Xu Huaiqing never stopped to rest, and they kept answering other people's questions. However, he is very knowledgeable, and he is also easy to answer in the face of everyone's questions, and he has a good conversation for a while.

After everyone saw Xu Huaiqing's insight and eloquence, those who were still a little unconvinced also quietly suppressed the anger in their chests, after all, they were really not comparable to the other party, and they were really convinced if they lost to him.

On the other side, Baili Su helped Bai Jiujiu to a secluded courtyard, bowed his head and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Bai Jiujiu had many large and small wounds on his body, some of which were still bleeding, and he looked a little miserable.

Taking a breath, Bai Jiujiu bowed his head slightly, and said weakly, "It's okay, thank you today." ”

Baili Su admired her, her brows were wrinkled in pain, but she still pretended to be fine, this character did not match her weak appearance at all.

was surrounded by those beggars in the corner, even if Bai Jiujiu was good, he would inevitably take a few beats, and the original delicate clothes became dirty, stained with I don't know whose blood it was. Bai Jiujiu couldn't stand it and pulled the hem of his clothes, and asked politely, "Is there any water, I want to clean it." ”

Baili Su came back to his senses and nodded busily, "Yes, yes, you wait here, I'll have someone call." ”

This is a courtyard he has set up outside, and sometimes he will bring his friends over to eat, drink, tea, or do some other things, which is definitely his territory. There were only two servants left in the courtyard to guard them, an old couple, one to guard the door, and the other to take care of food and other chores.

At this moment, Baili Su greeted, and an old woman came over with a basin of water.

Bai Jiujiu wrung out the cloth towel and carefully wiped the blood and dust on his body, Bai Lisu watched from the side, wanting to help, but felt that it was not appropriate.

"Alright." Bai Jiujiu finally wiped it clean, revealing a beautiful face, Bai Lisu was a little stunned after looking at it, this girl looks really good-looking.

Born in the capital, he has naturally seen many beauties, but Bai Jiujiu has a temperament that belongs to her, which is not available to those ladies.

Baili Su calmed down, asked people to take out the water and poured it, and took out a bottle of ointment, and in Bai Jiujiu's puzzled eyes, he said softly, "The wound on your body needs to be medicated." ”

"I'll just do it myself." Because men and women are not kissed, Bai Jiujiu raised his hand and wanted to take the ointment in Bailisu's hand, but he didn't expect to be avoided by the other party.

"There are some places that you can't get into, and it will be faster if someone helps." Pretending to be calm, Baili Su's hand tightened slightly, and the coldness of the porcelain vase spread all the way to his heart.

He didn't know why he had just subconsciously avoided Bai Jiujiu's movements, but the gradually accelerating heartbeat seemed to tell him the answer.

Fortunately, Bai Jiujiu was not such a cowardly person, and he didn't notice Bai Lisu's unease, "Okay, then thank you Gongzi." ”

In the process of taking the medicine, Bai Jiujiu frowned in pain several times, but he didn't say a word.

"You can scream if it hurts." Baili Su's movements couldn't help but lighten up a little.

Bai Jiujiu shook his head indifferently, "It's okay, I can bear this pain." ”

Baili Su looked at her deeply, this girl, once again impressed him, his eyes rolled slightly, but it was a mischievous aggravation of the movements in his hands.

"Sss

"Hurts, right? It's right to hurt, a girl's family, there's no need to be so forbearing. Although there was disgust in and out of his words, Baili Su's actions on the medicine were extremely careful.

What Bai Jiujiu didn't know was that the medicine she was using at this time was the jade mark paste that was paid tribute by the palace, which Baili Su specially found out in order to prevent him from leaving a scar. Even if he is the son-in-law of the Baili family, he only has such a small bottle.

"Thank you Baili Gongzi for rescuing, if you need anything in the future, just ask, I will definitely help if I can." This Baili Su looked cynical, but Bai Jiujiu also knew that the other party was kind, not to mention that he also saved himself, so he didn't resent the other party because of this pain.

"Heh-" Baili Su chuckled and shook his head noncommittally.

Bai Jiujiu felt inexplicable, looked down at what she was wearing, and suddenly blushed a little, the material of her clothes was okay, but she was beaten a little badly, and she couldn't see her true face for a long time.

It is estimated that this Baili Gongzi treats her as the kind of poor person who can't repay the favor and can only talk about it.

Well, she is indeed poor.

"That...... I know you may not lack money, and I don't have anything else. Bai Jiujiu said distressedly, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Do you have any sisters at home?" ”
