As soon as Xiaoyue opened her eyes, the sun was shining, the flowers were floating, the birds were chirping, and when she turned her head again, she saw Bai Hongyan sitting at the desk reading a book. Satsuki thought about being tired last night, and she didn't know how long she had been asleep, so she felt very embarrassed.

Bai Hongyan saw Xiaoyue wake up, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoyue, you are awake." Satsuki hurriedly got up and made him tea. After the two finished breakfast, Bai Hongyan took Xiaoyue to visit his father.

walked into the main hall, but saw a thin old man sitting above, dressed in a green robe, with a lofty atmosphere, just looking at his haggard face and gray face, it was the master of the Bai family. Xiao Yue raised her eyes and couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that this person only had a year to live. She is a thousand-year-old white fox, and a pair of fox eyes can not only see the ghosts lurking in the world, but also see the three souls and seven spirits of people. If this person is seriously ill, she can cast a spell to make him recover, but Yangshou is the number of qi that people are born in, and they have their own destiny, Yangshou should end, even if Daluo Immortal is powerless to return to heaven.

Next to the old man sat a dignified woman, who knew at a glance that it was Bai Hongyan's mother.

Bai Hongyan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Xiao Yue also followed him to salute. Bai Hongyan's parents were slightly startled when they saw Xiaoyue and nodded to her. Bai Hongyan talked to his parents, then introduced Xiao Yue to him, and recounted the story made up by Xiao Yue in its original form.

When they heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads, and their faces showed pity.

His mother wiped her tears and said pitifully, "This girl is really pitiful! Now that you've met a wild goose, stay at home. Although the Bai family is not as good as before, and the maids in the past have gone to other families on errands, it is also a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Besides, Yan'er needs a hearty child by her side, and you don't have to divide a master and servant, just be commensurate with brother and sister. She looked at Xiaoyue carefully, only to feel charming and delicate, beautiful and beautiful, she liked it very much, and said: "I asked Mama to clean up a side room next to Yan'er's house, and you can live there." The geese are not in trouble, and you can also take care of each other's food and daily life...... My lord and I hope that he will focus on his studies first, and one day he will gain fame in the exam, and he will not lose you. ”

Xiao Yue has been in the world for thousands of years, and she is proficient in personnel, but she didn't feel that her face was flushed, but she just nodded, and she didn't dare to reply in shame. She turned her head to look at Bai Hongyan, but he was at a loss.

I only heard his father sigh uncontrollably, patted the table and said angrily: "The salt tea and grain road in Wucheng is called the official road, but it is actually controlled by the horse gang. These mountain bandits and road tyrants made a fortune by blocking the road and robbing the caravans passing through here, and the imperial court should have exterminated them, who would have thought that in recent years, the rebellious ministers and thieves have made official salt freight rates, and some people have taken risks to traffic smuggled salt, and secretly colluded with the horse gang, these profiteers and mountain bandits and road tyrants have joined forces, and the government has become their protective charm! Salt is a daily necessity for the people, related to the people's livelihood, and now it is good, the court is about to become a word of the salt party! If this continues, the country will not be a country, and the world will be in chaos! I want to write another book to the Holy One! ”

His mother frowned and said gently: "Master, don't think I'm verbose, now that the court is in charge, our family should protect itself!" When I thought that the lord was an official in the court, although the man who begged our family to do things knew that the lord was honest and did not accept cash, but at that time there was never a shortage of rice jars and refreshments at home. Now the lord is no longer an official, it is just an empty shelf of the old days, but this firewood, rice, oil and salt is a long stream, and the rice jar at home is empty when it is used. No, let Mama go to the market to prepare some, but now the price of salt is surprisingly expensive, and I can't afford it. Ay! What does the court do? The most important thing right now is your body, sir! ”

Xiao Yue listened silently, and knew that it was the gray fairy who did it, and she was angry and ashamed, and secretly planned to order the gray fairy to steal a few gold ingots for the white mansion as compensation.

His father shook his head and said, "Don't mention taking medicine again, asking a doctor to take medicine for this disease, I don't know how much money was spent in vain." With your famous medicine, it never has any effect. Don't drink it! Save some money to supplement your family. I only hope that Yan'er can succeed in her studies, go to Beijing to take the exam as soon as possible, and fulfill her long-cherished wish for her father! ”

When Bai Hongyan heard this, he hesitated for a while, and he didn't know whether he should report to his father that he had agreed to go to the Song Mansion to teach. After some hesitation, I decided not to mention it for the time being.

In this way, Xiaoyue lived in the Bai family, and her life was leisurely.

Bai Hongyan studied hard day and night, except in the study, he went to the market to dispense medicine for his father. Xiao Yue also took care of him wholeheartedly, and accompanied him every day until the moon rose from behind the mountain, and then went back to the house to sleep. It's just that every late at night, I always see Bai Hongyan sneaking to the back garden, looking at the roof in a daze for a while, and then sighing, muttering to himself: "Why didn't he come to me?" Xiao Yue looked at him secretly through the door and window, and also sighed faintly.

Xiaoyue likes the fragrance of flowers, so she planted some peonies, yueji, orchids and other fragrant flowers in front of her house, but Bai Hongyan likes to be elegant, and there are only wild grasses in front of his house.

On the third watch of this night, faintly, I suddenly heard a rustling sound, as if someone had sneaked into Baifu again. Xiao Yue was startled, thinking to herself, could it be a gray fairy again? She hurried out the door, but the courtyard was empty. She cast an illusion, her eyes shooting two faint red lights, and she looked around, only to notice a wild cat running on the roof. She shook her head slightly, didn't care, and went back to her room to rest.

After a few days like this, Xiaoyue was a little bored, and when she woke up one day, she shouted that she wanted to go out with Bai Hongyan. Bai Hongyan knew that she couldn't help herself and couldn't bear to rebel, so he took her to the market together.

The two of them left the house, and after a while, they came to Pingkang Street, the most prosperous street in Fog City.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, there are teahouses, wine shops, pawnshops, workshops, and many small vendors with large umbrellas.

At noon, I suddenly saw a little old man with a white beard, wearing a yellow leather shirt, a small hat, and a feather fan, sitting on the side of the road and telling stories. When Xiao Yue saw this little old man, she couldn't help but smile, hurriedly stepped forward, sat quietly on the side of the road, and listened to what he said. I only heard the little old man telling the story of a nine-tailed white fox turning into a human form.

Satsuki listened to it and coughed dryly. As soon as the little old man looked up and saw Xiao Yue, he also smiled, gave her a deep look, and said with a smile: "Sister Bai, little brother is so polite!" What do you think I look like? ”

Xiao Yue returned the salute and smiled: "Like a Buddha, like a Tao, more like a learned gentleman!" ”

Mr. Huang's face was full of joy, he giggled, and said, "Auspicious and auspicious!" Sister Bai really listens to what she says! ”

Xiaoyue said: "Mr. Huang is so Yaxing, it's a pleasure to tell a story here, but why do you want to tell the story of the fox spirit?" ”

Mr. Huang said: "This is not entrusted by my brother Mouse, I am here to help my sister!" As he spoke, his gaze fell on Bai Hongyan, and he said: "If you ask how many gold ingots are hidden in these people in the city, the gray fairy knows everything about it, but if you want to inquire about this door-to-door personnel, whether it is on the table or under the table, brother, I know everything." In this world, a good person like Bai Gongzi is like a rare treasure, and my sister has a good vision! The little lady who disguised herself as a man and haunted the White Mansion, I know the roots. ”

As soon as Xiaoyue was happy, she wanted to ask for an understanding. While he was talking, two noble sons walked in front of him, followed by a dozen or so maids wearing red and green.

The boy at the head was about 20 years old, wearing a purple brocade robe, a jade longevity lock hanging on his neck, embroidered brocade around his waist, hairpin flowers on his head, two thick eyebrows slightly upturned, born like a butterfly and a wild bee, and he was very domineering in his gestures.

The boy who followed behind, wearing a blue silk shirt, holding a white jade folding fan, with a face like a crown of jade, with a graceful demeanor, and a string of pearls hanging around his neck, emitting a faint halo, looking very valuable.

Xiao Yue glanced at it, tilted her head and asked, "What a big show, who are these two?" ”

Mr. Huang smiled and said, "The two sons of the Jin family. The eldest son, Jin Shuliang, the second son, Jin Shutian. ”
