Chapter 30: Rumors Rise
In the early morning of the next day, Qianqian was still asleep in the wooden house under the mountain outside Gusu City, and it was quiet everywhere.
Standing on the top of the mountain he had stepped on yesterday, Lan Ji looked to the east, and the inky mountains stretched in the distance, blending with the early white sky.
"Gu Master, the mansion has been cleaned up" Behind him, a man in black knelt on one knee, his hands clenched into fists, although he couldn't see his appearance clearly with his face covered, there was a mole under his left eye, which looked very familiar.
"Good"
Lan Ji didn't have much expression on his face, and a murmur came out of his mouth, and the voice was very soft, like a murmur in his sleep. He had been standing there quietly, slowly the sky was dyed golden by the sun, and suddenly he smiled, and then the figure of the white-haired boy on the top of the mountain disappeared.
The scholar under the mountain carried a simple burden, rode a little donkey, and slowly embarked on a path to the north.
In Gusu City, in front of the gate of Zhang's Mansion, Bai Yanfei was supported by the little guy, holding the head that was about to blow up after a hangover and got into the carriage, and the little guy whispered to the little stone who was driving the car
"The young master is dizzy, drive slower"
The sound of horses' hooves sounded very crisp on the silent street, and a few vendors who were doing morning business on the road recognized the Bai family's carriage.
"This is the carriage of the eldest young master of the Bai family again, right?"
"Yes, it is the small stone of Baifu who drives the car, and he is the one who comes to the Zhang family to pick up the young master of the Bai family every time."
"These two are not too young, and they are still messing around like this all day long......"
Those few people didn't speak loudly, but when it was so quiet, it sounded really clear, the little guy who was holding Bai Yanfei in the carriage secretly looked at his expression, only to see that his eyes were closed and his brows were deeply locked, and he looked like he hadn't woken up yet, and the little guy took out a free hand, opened the curtain, and glared at the people who were staring at the carriage all the way, and those people closed their mouths knowingly.
The little trick at the gate of Baifu was waiting at the door early, and the sound of horses' hooves came, and the carriage stopped.
"Be careful" Xiao Zhao helped Bai Yanfei under the car and slowly got out of the carriage, and Xiao Shi drove the carriage away.
"Big Young Master" Xiao Zhao whispered in his ear when he helped him, he looked at him sideways, Xiao Zhao nodded slightly, and then several people hurried into the backyard.
On the third pole of the day, Bai Shao went to the nearby villagers to buy some rice, and made a bowl of fish porridge with the fish that Lan Ji had just caught in the morning
"It's so fragrant, white peony?" She called softly, but Bai Shao, who was cooking porridge outside, didn't hear it, and after waiting for a while and didn't hear a response, she got up by herself and came out wearing only her underwear
Bai Shao stared at the fire intently, and Qian Qian walked to her side only to realize that she listened to the footsteps and did not look back, and said with a chuckle
"Miss is hungry, isn't she? This porridge will be fine for a while, Miss wait a minute" Qianqian was not too conscious, the whole person was a little confused, she nodded, pouted and walked to the fence, sat down on the spot, her legs swinging outside, her head against the crossbar of the fence, and her eyes fell on the flowing river in a daze.
After a while, the porridge was boiled, Bai Shao hurriedly filled a bowl, turned around and wanted to serve it to Qianqian but didn't see her, and when she looked at the river, she saw that she was sitting on the ground without her clothes dressed, she exclaimed
"My young lady, this is so damp, you can't just sit on the ground," she put down the porridge, and hurriedly ran over to help her up and take her back to the house, and get dressed. After washing, Qianqian finally came to her senses, she looked around, but she didn't see Lan Ji
"Where's the master?"
"Mr. caught a fish and asked me to make porridge for Miss, and then I didn't see him, oh! He seems to be going up the mountain again."
"Up the mountain?" Qianqian was a little puzzled by this answer, early in the morning? Sure enough, the master's actions are not something that mortals like me can understand. She nunu mouthed, took the porridge handed by Bai Shao, and took a sip
"Well, it's delicious"
