In the vast moonlight, a carriage left Huicheng, Xiaobai looked back at the solemn city gate, thinking that this may be the last time to be so relaxed, and when the new official of Miao Lingu takes office tomorrow, no one will ever think of her relationship with the Lin family before, and let her come and go freely regardless of the hour.
Changyu Youle stretched out his hand and pulled Xiaobai's hair, and said, "Don't look at it, this place... It's not worth your nostalgia. His movements were very light, and even his tone was unprecedentedly soft, for fear that his admonition would ignite the pain in Xiaobai's heart and make her more and more uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, Xiaobai listened to it, thinking that the entire Lin Mansion no longer exists, and the only thing that ties between him and here is those children, but after all, the future of the eighteen has nothing to do with him, nodded and said, "Why did you come?" ”
"I was going back, but there was an accident halfway, and the eighth master was too cumbersome to take me, so I went to Meishan first." Saying that, Changyu Youle laughed a few times, sighed a few more times, and then said: "After following the eighth master for so many years, it is the first time, he said that I am a burden, why am I a burden?" As soon as he encountered that incident, he was like crazy, regardless of ... ”
Xiaobai pursed his lips and looked at the shadow of the tree, it turned out that he was here to complain to her, what did the eighth master go crazy for? Xiaobai is also interested, and he is not ready to ask too much.
"Go for it! If you don't take me, you won't take me! Changyu Youle snorted, leaned back, and didn't move the reins, but the horses who were rushing away ate a lot of Xiaobai forage, no matter whether anyone was driving it or not, they could drive smoothly, and they didn't have a temper at all, "Anyway, the eighth master has a big ability, even if I arrive a few days late... No! Even if I'm not there! He'll be fine, too! And there are so many people waiting to die for him! Is there me ... It doesn't matter much... ”
Xiaobai thought about it, but felt that this was not the case, so he asked, "Does the eighth master have anything else to say?" ”
"Yes, let me go back to Xiyue City, Xiyue has now been stirred into a pot of porridge by Lao Wu, why should I go back? Look at his villain's ambition? I can't stand it! ”
"Five..." Xiaobai subconsciously blurted out the Fifth Highness, and remembered that the last time he called Feng Wu like this, Changyu Youle looked annoyed, so he changed his tone and said: "Is the eighth master worried that the fifth son of the emperor will do something worse, so he asked you to go back to Xiyue to watch, and he was afraid that you would not be happy, so he deliberately said that?" ”
"What's worse?" Changyu Youle turned his head to look at Xiaobai, and suddenly felt that this girl's feeling for people and things was not ordinary strange, thinking about the flattery of everyone in Shangshan Xiaoguan to Sang Jiarou, how could anyone think that it would be a bad thing for Mrs. Li beside Feng Wu to deign to come?
"I don't know." Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Changyu Youle: "It's just the feeling, those people... The relationship that can't be beaten by eight poles... They are in the Shangshan restaurant... Well... It's weird anyway. ”
"It's not surprising that Sang Jiarou has been sending greetings to the county king's mansion since a few months ago, but unfortunately the prince has never paid attention to it, Xiyue... Changyu Youle suddenly remembered that Xiaobai seemed to have some relationship with the Sang family, so he stopped talking about Xiyue anymore, and said instead: "Her life in Xiyue is not easy, I didn't expect that the fifth child would allow her to come out, and she encountered such a good thing, God really didn't open her eyes." ”
It seems that it should be related to Guo Zhaoyang, but unfortunately he was busy with the kitchen, and he didn't hear it at all, Xiaobai smiled: "Relationship with Shizila?" What good can be? ”
Changyu Youle was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, the anger that Guo Zhaoyang had generated when he handed over the port of Shaluo to outsiders without permission, just for a small favor, disappeared in an instant, since Feng Wu could let the officials take office casually without the permission of the middle secretary, why couldn't Guo Zhaoyang just throw a pie?
Anyway, Lao Wu doesn't know who the port of Salo Port really belongs to, and if something happens, who can protect him? Besides, it's all at this time, and everything that happened just now must have reached the heavens.
"You... What are you laughing at? "Xiaobai is a little hairy.
"That's right! The county king's mansion and you are two worlds, don't think about it. ”
Xiaobai gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "Nosy! ”
Changyu Youle didn't get angry, but smiled even more happily, and asked, "You can't be busy welcoming guests, why did you go to Shangshan Restaurant to help cook?" Is it true that they pay more? ”
"It's the ancient butler, please! The cook there is from the Gu family, and when he is sick these days, they can't find a suitable candidate, so they think of me. ”
"If the cook is sick, don't hold any reception! I really believe you, and I'm not afraid that you will smash their signboard. ”
"It's just that I borrowed a place for them, and I want some signboard." Xiaobai shook his head, thinking that the food in Shangshan Restaurant is so expensive, how many people in Huicheng can eat it every day? If Sang Jiarou hadn't seen herself, who would have known that she wasn't the cook there? It's not for the sake of a face for the whole Miao Forest Valley.
......
The two walked very slowly, and when the sky was bright, it was time to count, and Changyu Youle was drowsy, but he didn't see the carriage that welcomed the guests to the door, Xiaobai turned a corner and went around the back from the ground to the back, and didn't wake him up, let the horse bow his head to graze, and walked quickly to the front gate.
The sound of those small footsteps stepped on the shadow of the rising sun, and there was no abruptness in the quiet of the ground at this moment, as if she should have been the master of this forest in the first place, and everything was willing to be surrendered.
Steward Gu's slightly nervous body relaxed a little when he saw that only Xiao Bai appeared, his eyes couldn't help but look behind Xiao Bai, and his disappointment flashed, and he smiled: "I guess you definitely won't spend the night in Huicheng... ”
"Waited, huh?" Xiaobai opened the door and invited people in, but unfortunately it will take time to make a fire, and there is definitely no way to make hot tea.
The ancient housekeeper asked the people who followed him to bring in a pot of boiling water, looked at Xiaobai, who was a little at a loss, and said with a smile: "Take it to make tea." ”
Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly took out the tea from behind the counter, put the hot water into the pot, and the fragrant taste was instantly stimulated, she smiled: "I didn't know you would come so early, and I didn't prepare, I almost entertained you with cold wine." ”
"It doesn't matter." The ancient housekeeper motioned to Xiaobai to put down the teapot and said bluntly: "I can't stay for a long time, so I will make a long story short, and I won't delay your efforts." ”
"Steward Gu said bluntly, it's okay, for so many years, you have been secretly taking care of me, I remember this intention."
"I'm coming... Thank you for your help. The ancient housekeeper ordered the people outside to come in, put down some things, and without waiting for Xiaobai to ask, he pressed her and said: "I know, you could have refused, but you see the past relationship with the Gu family, even if you don't want to agree, I won't hide it from you, this reception banquet is not only a delicious building, even Shangshan Restaurant is not willing to go to this troubled water, you are willing to give me this face, this favor, not only me, even the shopkeeper of Shangshan Restaurant has also written it down." ”
Xiaobai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You look up to me, it's my honor to let me take charge of the spoon." ”
"What is the honor and not honor, I came this time for another purpose, I want to match you well, let you be wronged... Ay... But I didn't expect that to happen. "Steward Gu was also surprised, how could Xiao Bai have been involved with Mrs. Li, he could have just hid in the kitchen, but he didn't expect Xiao Bai to be humiliated, what happened at that time was really weird." OK... There is a prince who comes forward... ”
Speaking of the prince, the next thing to talk about is the young master of Changyu, right? Xiaobai silently took a sip of tea and did not answer.
The ancient housekeeper seemed to see through Xiaobai's thoughts, and said: "Yesterday, when I went to Haixing, I heard an interesting anecdote, saying that the county prince is old and wants the prince to take over the affairs of the county king's mansion, but unfortunately the prince is still that kind of fool, he doesn't care at all, and he explains everything at hand, but unfortunately he is not looking for his own steward, they are all people from outside, like the Yu family, the Rui family, and some can't even be named. ”
"It's not like he's an outsider, is it... Xiaobai muttered. The Yu family is now Yu Ke's family, and Yu Ke is Guo Zhaoyang's only friend. Not to mention the Rui family, Rui Ji has long wanted to cross the garrison mansion and climb the friendship with the county king's mansion.
Hearing this, the ancient housekeeper looked uncertain, "After all, he is a child, regardless of importance, it is good to have ideas, but he forgot one thing, Haixing does not have a chamber of commerce, and the more people around him, the more careful he must be, not to mention that he has a special identity, there is really an accident, the sky is high and the road is far away, and there are sufferings." ”
"Haixing doesn't have a chamber of commerce?" It's the first time Xiaobai has heard of it.
The ancient housekeeper smiled: "Of course not, from ancient times to the present, the blessed land of Haixing has been held by the emperor." Who dares to earn the emperor's silver? Xiaobai was thoughtful, but heard the ancient housekeeper laugh and said, "Maybe... There's only the Xia Shang Pavilion.,But.。。。。 ”
"But what?"
"Although the Xia Merchant Pavilion is an example of the world's businessmen, there is only one, I believe that the old man of the Changyu family must know in his heart that if Yulin, Wulian, Guangyuan, Dongming, the four major chambers of commerce join forces, whether they can compete with it, it is unknown."
On the carriage, Changyu Youle suddenly opened his eyes, it turned out that Feng Wu had this idea!
The ancient housekeeper sighed, and then said: "Huixian occupies the right time, place and people, I don't know if it's lucky?" Or unfortunate. ”
"Okay, after all..." Many people's fates have changed here.
"After all, the news is spread in all directions, and you can't hide anything, Xiaobai, you've been in Huicheng for seven or eight years, I believe you should be more aware of it, when one thing spreads, what will people care about? Only those who are out of place will be magnified, misinterpreted, and eventually destroyed, this small place in Huicheng is already like this, what about other places? I also can't bear to watch you grow up, but this time, only if you leave, it is the best result, don't think about others, don't think about being alone, it's useless, this is no longer a pure place, take this opportunity to think about your future destination. ”
Xiaobai understood that the ancient housekeeper was sorry for her, if she found another cook, then people's curiosity about the prince of the county king's mansion and the young master of the Xia Shang Pavilion would not be transferred to her, but she went, faced Guo Zhaoyang, and did not pretend not to know Changyu Youle, so everything about her will be divided into small parts in the near future, and those people will be involved, she is just an orphan girl, so easy to handle.
The Gu family could have chosen another way to talk to her, but unexpectedly, it was to persuade her to leave, no matter how sincere these words were, Xiaobai listened to them.
"If you have difficulties, go to Xinyu, which is the clan land of the Gu family, and when they see this jade plate, they will protect you." Steward Gu put a dark green jade plaque on the table, got up and said, "Don't think about anything, no matter what you are to them, you must live well first." ”
Xiao Bai held the cold piece of black jade, and his heart turned upside down. Changyu Youle appeared quietly, looking at Xiaobai's slightly trembling back, and suddenly regretted it, he shouldn't have appeared in Shangshan Restaurant, if Xiaobai was willing to stay by their side, naturally no one would have thoughts that they shouldn't have, but it's a pity...
