When Bai Ling returned to the room, several people cast concerned glances - everyone was a little curious about Bai Ling's whereabouts.

Bai Ling slowly walked to his bed, and sat there in a daze.

"Yes...... Is it decided? Ai Songqing asked in a low voice.

Bai Ling shook his head, "No, it's something else." ”

"Something else?" Ai Songqing was a little surprised, so he wanted to ask, but he couldn't help it-Bai Ling's current appearance obviously didn't intend to continue.

……

In the evening, Boling's bed was empty again.

Everyone had come back from the dance hall together, and as usual, they rested in their rooms for a while, and then waited for Turtlepaw to come and take them to a new bathhouse nearby.

However, when everyone was ready, and as soon as they saw Turtlepaw enter the house, they were about to get up and go downstairs, Turtlepaw waved his hand and called Bai Ling out alone.

Everyone looked at Bai Ling in some surprise, but she didn't twist, she just got up and followed the turtle paw downstairs.

Ai Songqing couldn't understand it, and the others didn't understand it even more.

Bai Ling followed the turtle's paws, bypassing many street corners all the way, and actually came directly to the entrance of a high-rise building under the golden wire cage.

When she entered the house, Turtlepaw led her to sit down behind a screen as thin as a cicada's wing, and then retreated herself.

Bai Ling sat there on her knees, she waited in silence for a while, and the door on the other side of the room was pushed open, and Zeng Jiuyan walked in.

Zeng Jiuyan sat on the other side of the screen.

The silk tent screen in the middle is colorful and green, and the lines are complicated, and both of them can only vaguely see each other's outlines, but they can't see each other's expressions clearly.

This is also the rule of Baihuaya, before the sale, the two parties can meet through the screen, the main family can briefly chat with the object to be ransomed, and the right is Baihuaya to give them the bottom again, so that the main family can rest assured.

Although on the way here, both of them felt that there were many things to ask and many things to say, but when they really sat down, they felt that they could not speak.

Bai Ling was sitting precariously, she looked at the figure opposite, her heart was both grateful and worried, and after a moment of silence, she finally sighed first, "...... What the hell do you want to do, man. ”

Zeng Jiuyan calmed down, "Bustard Niang should have already told you?" ”

Bai Ling snorted and laughed, "Hasn't the little marquis always been reluctant to let people take care of it?" Why did you suddenly want to open it and buy me into the Hou Mansion? ”

"Don't get me wrong." Zeng Jiuyan said in a straight voice, "Redeem and buy, I won't touch you after I come out." At that time, you don't have to go into my Hou Mansion to be embarrassed, go to the other courtyard to live for three or five months, and when the rumor passes, I will find someone to send you to Jiangzhou. ”

Bai Ling lowered his eyes, "...... Can the wind really pass? ”

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Bai Ling was silent again, she looked at the tea bowl placed in front of her, and took a sip.

"Say whatever you want." Zeng Jiuyan said softly, "No one here listens to the corner. ”

"Is Hikuiwa so sure?"

"Yes." Zeng Jiuyan said in a low voice, "These rooms are almost my private residence in Baihuaya, and outsiders can't enter." ”

Bai Ling smiled - she heard from the bustard mother today, Zeng Jiuyan almost never returned to the Hou Mansion during this time, and lived directly in Baihuaya.

…… I don't know what the old marquis thinks about this.

"Well, I happen to have a few questions for you," Bai Ling thought as she put down her teacup and whispered, "Last month, on the night we met...... It was Chen Yicong who personally led people to attack Baihuaya at night, right? ”

"Yes." Zeng Jiuyan nodded.

"That night, after you met me, did you go straight to the palace?" Bai Ling said softly.

“…… It doesn't matter. ”

Bai Ling smiled, she lowered her head slightly, raised her hands, and rubbed the corners of her forehead.

Zeng Jiuyan asked, "What's wrong?" What is wrong with you? ”

"No," Bai Ling shook his head, "Kuiwa treats me like this...... I really, I don't know how to repay. ”

"You can stay here for another two months." Zeng Jiuyan replied in a deep voice, "I'll take care of the rest." ”

"......" Bai Ling looked at the silhouette of Zeng Jiuyan on the screen, and countless gratitude welled up in her heart, but she also understood that there were some words that could not be persuaded by persuasion.

Don't get caught up in this whirlpool.

Don't stand on the opposite side of Chen Yicong for this matter.

Even if these words are said, will Zeng Jiuyan listen to them?

"Some things are really too late." Zeng Jiuyan said softly, "Chen Yicong himself doesn't want to see something happen, I understand." ”

Bai Ling sighed when he heard this.

"Since he was willing to come that night, he must have been unable to let go and didn't want you to have an accident." Zeng Jiuyan paused for a moment, "I know him, he is not bad-hearted. ”

Bai Ling didn't comment, she looked up slightly, looking at the intricate patterns on the roof.

Sometimes people prefer to put life and death aside for the sake of a breath and certain beliefs...... She understands this mood too well.

Looking at the young man sitting across from him again, Bai Ling's gaze became a little complicated - it was really a rare luck to be able to make a friend like Zeng Jiuyan here.

"Don't talk about that." Bai Ling said softly, "Tell me about Jiuyan." ”

"Me?" Zeng Jiuyan was a little surprised, "What do I have to say?" ”

"I've heard Bai Yi mention a sentence or two before......" Bai Ling said slowly, "Has Jiuyan always wanted to go to the north to join the army?" ”

Zeng Jiuyan was stunned for a moment, "...... Didn't you, I thought this kid had a pretty strong mouth? Did he even tell you that? ”

Bai Ling laughed, "Occasionally, we talk." ”

Zeng Jiuyan scolded in a low voice.

"Okay, yes." He simply admitted, "But my father and mother don't agree, I don't know how many times I've made trouble about this matter - you see now, they would rather watch me go to the kiln all day than let me go to the army for training." ”

"How old is Hikuiwa this year," Bai Ling thought about his birthday, "eighteen ...... Nineteen? ”

"Nineteen." Zeng Jiuyan replied.

"What are you afraid of at home?"

Zeng Jiuyan said softly, "...... My mother is only one of my sons. ”

"Well, you're afraid of cutting off the incense?"

"I'm also afraid that the white-haired person will send the black-haired person." Zeng Jiuyan looked at Bai Ling, "I want to leave, but I can't bear to make them sad." ”

“…… It's really hard to have both," Bai Ling sighed, "but I always feel that the old marquis will probably be sad sooner or later." ”

Zeng Jiuyan was stunned for a moment, "Why?" ”

"Because you're still not obedient enough." Bai Ling said softly, "If you really don't want them to be sad, you should hurry up and get married and find a stable job." Like now, I am in the Hundred Flowers all day long...... Who is Jiu punishing? ”

Zeng Jiuyan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Bai Ling meant.

He snorted softly, suddenly, slightly self-deprecatingly. “…… What do you want to say, Boling? ”
