Bai Hongyan hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute and said, "I went to the market to dispense medicine for my father, and I came back late." Since the old gentleman came early, why didn't he enter the house to talk? The father of the house shall be hospitable. ”

The butler bowed down and said, "Lord Lingzun, how are you doing?" I don't know what my current job is? My lord was afraid of being rash, and told the old man not to beg for mercy. You are not at home, so I will wait here, not daring to be alarmed. ”

Bai Hongyan shook his head and said: "My father has long stopped asking about the government and politics, and he is idle at home, which is not as good as before. ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he raised his body and said, "It's okay or not, the master of the Bai family has worked hard for the court for half his life, and it's time to enjoy the blessings." ”

Bai Hongyan asked, "I don't know what happened to the old gentleman?" ”

The housekeeper paused and said, "My lord admires scholars the most, and he has always admired Ling Zun. The old man Rong Ma has gone through vicissitudes of life and finally earned this family business, although it is not as big as the prince's noble family, it is also a corner of the rich family. However, the fate of the sky is unfortunate, the old man is half a hundred years old, and there is only one daughter under his knees, so love is like a treasure. The young lady is not the eldest lady, her own mother died in an early age, there is no maternal upbringing, no siblings to support, no education. Although she is a woman, the old lady hopes that she can read more books, listen to the words of the sages and govern, understand the reason, and share the worries of her family business in the future. ”

Bai Hongyan listened, didn't know why, and was a little unhappy in his heart, so he said: "If the old gentleman has something to say, please speak directly." ”

The housekeeper said: "My young lady is different from other young ladies, the old man is extremely doting, so he has been stubborn and abnormal since he was a child, and he is very disgusted with reading. The old man searched for the teachers who were all here, but the young lady said that those people were all blind exaggerations, deception and fame, and had no real talents. The young lady also said that looking at the foggy city, only Baifu is a real famous family of poetry and books, and has won the way of ancient and modern sages, if someone in Baifu is willing to come, she must pursue the way of the teacher. Speaking of this, the housekeeper picked up a post in both hands and said, "The old man has repaired a letter of appointment without authorization, and wants to invite Young Master Bai to teach in our mansion." ”

Bai Hongyan understood, it turned out that this person wanted to ask him to be a teacher. I saw Xiao Yue take a step forward and said: "My young master is a talent who has helped the country in the world, how can he have the kung fu to teach other young ladies to read and write." ”

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his eyes, he saw Bai Hongyan holding a silver bag in his hand, and his face showed hesitation. His heart moved, and he said: "Actually, this errand is also very simple, it is nothing more than teaching the young lady to know a few more words and read some "Analects". Young Master Bai was born in a famous family and has a deep ancestral style, and he is very knowledgeable, how can he not be caught for this little thing? If you are willing to come to our house, my lord will be rewarded with a lot of money. ”

Bai Hongyan hesitated for a long time and did not reply. Since his father was dismissed, he has been depressed all day long, contracted a serious illness, and dispensed medicine for him every day, spending money like water. As soon as his father's fortune stopped, his life plummeted, and there was no such ancestral compound, but his father was unwilling to sell it, and the family's daily expenses were often stretched. He thought to himself that although this matter was not a matter of the court, it would not insult the glory of the ancestors, but it could supplement the family and solve the urgent need. He said, "Good! I answered the matter. ”

The housekeeper was overjoyed, made a gesture, and said with a smile: "On the first day of the first month of next month, the old man is waiting for Young Master Bai to come in our mansion. Oh, yes, I'm going to have to change my name to Mr. Bai from now on. ”

After speaking, the two saluted. After Bai Hongyan sent the housekeeper away, he walked into the house with Xiaoyue, just wanting to find a room for him and settle down. Walk into the main gate, all the way through three gates, to the main courtyard, but see that on both sides are verandah wings, everywhere are carved beams and painted buildings. Greeted by a moist breath, look around, pavilions, trees, mountains and stones, elegant and good.

Xiao Yue was dizzying, and couldn't help but praise: "What a magnificent house!" I can imagine how glorious the Bai family was back then! ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone chanting not far away: "Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming." The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star. Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brush off your clothes and go to hide deep with your name ......"

Bai Hongyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said with a smile: "Brother Jin is here!" He took Xiaoyue through the verandah quickly, walked to the back garden, looked up, and when the moon was bent, he saw a young man in a green shirt, holding a cup in his left hand, holding a sword in his right hand, and a red hairband tied on his head.

I only heard Bai Hongyan smile and said: "I said that Li Taibai came to our mansion, and when I got closer, it turned out to be Brother Jin." ”

When the young man in the green shirt saw Bai Hongyan, he smiled and said, "Idiot, you're back!" I've been waiting for you for two hours, come and compete! ”

As soon as the young man turned his head, he saw Xiao Yue, let out a "huh", stepped on his feet, and jumped down. He approached Xiao Yue's side and smiled, "Who is this little brother?" ”

Xiao Yue saw that this person was extraordinary, as if he had practiced martial arts, and when she looked at it again, she couldn't help but be taken aback. This person is handsome and eyebrows, looking forward to Shenfei, his eyes are black and white, blazing, although he is smiling, but he exudes a majesty, which makes people awe-inspiring and dare not force his eyes.

Bai Hongyan took Xiao Yue's hand and said, "This brother's name is Xiao Yue. When there was a sudden change in his family, I took him home, settled down first, and then thought about it in the long run. ”

The young man took a closer look at Xiao Yue, but saw that although Xiao Yue was covered with mud, her sideburns were low, her body was graceful, and under the moonlight, she had a pair of beautiful affectionate eyes, charming and gorgeous. After he saw it, he grinned, and couldn't help but admire: "Your name is Xiaoyue?" This is the name of the daughter's house. You are born like water, better than those little ladies who are like flowers and jade! ”

Xiao Yue lowered her head, and although she heard him praise herself, she couldn't help but feel weird. She sniffed slightly, and actually smelled a strange fragrance, like a woman's incense, and like burning sandalwood, which made the mundane disappear. She secretly said to herself: "Curious special aroma! I have been on earth for thousands of years, and I have never smelled this fragrance. She breathed a sigh of truth and wanted to cast a spell to see this person clearly. For a moment, she stared straight at the boy's cheek, then at his neck, and finally at his chest. She suddenly sneered, looked at Bai Hongyan with a smile, and whispered, "Brother Bai, why do you call him a brother?" ”

Bai Hongyan hurriedly introduced him and said with a smile: "This brother Jin is a good friend, a naughty young man. ”

I only heard the young man laugh and said: "No, no, no, I am the flying real person of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and this idiot is an apprentice of mine." I saw that he was dumbfounded, although he was talentless, but he was still filial, so I passed on some of his methods of cultivating immortals. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Hongyan touched his eyebrows and said angrily: "Real person, my eyebrows are a little red, but thanks to you?" ”

When the young man heard this, he laughed: "I made you close your eyes, nodded at your eyebrows, and helped you open the Tongtian Spirit Treasure, why don't you appreciate it?" ”
