Chapter 15: No Name
The two of them looked at him, and immediately felt that it was inappropriate, first, they were not familiar with others, and secondly, not everyone was willing to eat this meal, so they couldn't help but object, and they saw a stalemate...
Bai Meixue hurriedly withdrew from the table and got up to round the field: "Li Gongzi Lan Gongzi don't be polite, the second brother has a monthly account here, let the second brother tie it this time, and the two of you will invite you next time." ”
This meal is not much, if it is reluctant, it will not be good to refute people's face, not to mention that a girl's family has spoken, if it is a stalemate, everyone will be displeased, and it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of slippery, so it has to be stopped.
The two thanked him, and Lan Tian smiled politely: "Thank you for your hospitality, if he comes to Chongning in the future, Lan sincerely invites a few people to come over." ”
Bai Shaojie also smiled at Lantian.
The group went down to the first floor, and when they arrived at the door, the shopkeeper prepared a carriage for Bai Shaojie and the three of them with a very good eye.
Bai Meixue walked in front of Li Tang: "Miss Li, we have an appointment, and when I go back, I will tell my mother, then on the fifteenth day of the new year, after lunch, you and I will meet at the foot of Yanfeng Mountain at half of noon and go up the mountain together, okay?" ”
Li Tang finally had a chance to talk to her, so naturally he didn't agree, and nodded heavily: "Well, okay, I will definitely go to the appointment on time." ”
Bai Shaojie greeted everyone, led Bai Meixue into the carriage, and the coachman drove away. In the car, Bai Shaojie asked her:
"Why did Mei Xue ask that little... Plum... Miss go with you, even if it is inconvenient for your mother to go up the mountain in the future, won't I accompany you? ”
"It's good, but the second brother is going to the city to help the eldest brother take care of the business in the future, and he is often not in the town, if you always want to run back and forth, I don't want to!"
"Silly boy, the second brother is willing, it's okay."
Bai Meixue smiled sweetly, took Bai Shaojie's arm and leaned it on his shoulder: "As long as the second brother is free, accompany me, I will be satisfied." ”
At the door of the inn, Lu Yezhen said hello and walked home alone.
Lantian bowed his hand to Li Yu: "Brother Li, then I will leave, it's not early, you and Tang'er should go back quickly!" ”
Li Yu was surprised: "Brother Lan, it's this hour, let's stay at home for one night for the time being, and then go back to the city tomorrow!" ”
Li Tang also left him: "Yes, Lan Gongzi, my father and mother are also going home at this time, they must also want to see you, there is a guest room at home, you can go back tomorrow!" ”
Lantian smiled at the two: "No, when I went out to talk about things today, I didn't tell my family that I would not return, and I needed to go back, so it would take half an hour, so I might as well go back next time, and then I will go to Brother Li's house to disturb me next time I explain it to my family." ”
Even so, it is not good to force it to stay, Li Tang was silent, Li Yu had to speak: "Then Brother Lan is careful on the road, if you have the opportunity to go to Chongning in the future, you will definitely visit the house, and Brother Lan will come to the town again one day, and you and I will drink a few more cups together." ”
Lantian looked at Li Tang and smiled: Drink two glasses, this brother doesn't know how much he drinks, this sister...
"Okay, that's it, maybe I'll be here in two days, and then Brother Li won't dislike me for running too hard."
Li Yu said sincerely: "Brother Lan, I can't ask for it." ”
"Okay, then I'll go, you guys go back quickly!"
After waving his hand and turning to get into the carriage, Li Yu gave his hand, Li Tang waved goodbye, Lantian lowered the curtain, and the groom and his subordinates drove the car and began to gallop on the road, carrying the fine dust, and rushed towards Chongning City.

It's night, in the Kashiwa Hall.
Bai Meixue helped Mrs. Bai to sit on the side seat: "Mother, I cooked this red date and wolfberry soup, you can drink some!" ”
Mrs. Bai still has the warmth of the motherly all the year round, but today she is a little more tired: "Okay." ”
"Mother, don't go to the mountains in the future, I made an appointment with Miss Li of Dr. Li's family on South Street in the town, and we will go to Shangxiang together on the fifteenth day of the new year, if you want to send something to Mrs. Shi, call two people to accompany us."
Hearing this, Mrs. Bai raised her head: "Miss of Dr. Li's family on South Street, do you know each other?" The Dust Moon Nunnery, which is usually almost unattended, suddenly made an appointment to go with it? ”
Bai Meixue chose the key points to tell Mrs. Bai about her experience of knowing Li Tang, praising her for her talent, literacy and law, sincerity, and the daughter of a doctor, and a person who can be friends.
Mrs. Bai was still hesitating, Bai Meixue said again: "Mother, I was worried about the last time you went back to the mountain, it has been many years, it is inconvenient for you to go up the mountain again, Mrs. Shi is also reasonable, and the second brother can accompany me when he is free in the future, and then there will be Xia'er and the next person to accompany him, and there is nothing to do." ”
Although Bai Meixue didn't know what the relationship between her mother and Mrs. Jingchen was, she kept going to incense all year round and sent some daily necessities from time to time, but now that Mrs. Bai is old, she can't bear to go up the mountain, and she has to rest for a day or two every time she comes back.
Mrs. Bai smiled: "I know you have a heart, so be it!" If Miss Li is free, you can bring her to sit at home. ”
"Mother, I know!"
————
At this time, at Dr. Li's house on South Street in the town, the family was chatting around the charcoal basin! Li Yu got up and went to the room to take out the glass vase that Lantian had given him during the day, and told Dr. Li what had happened.
After listening to Dr. Li, he asked, "Have you ever invited this Lan Gongzi to come to your house?" ”
Li Yu hurriedly said: "This is natural, but he was busy rushing back to the city and did not stay in the town. ”
Dr. Li understood and said to Mrs. Li, "Put away the things first!" Mrs. Li got up and took the brocade box to the room.
Doctor Li told Li Yu: "Now you are not young, make friends, for my father believes that you have your own vision, the Lan family and my family, since there is little intersection, this Lan Gongzi is young, come to the door to give such a generous gift, today is you can not refuse, in the future should be cautious." ”
"Dad, I made a note of it."
Seeing that his face was not good, Dr. Li smiled:
"You don't have to think about it, I know you're sensible, but just a few more words! Although we received this gift, we are not good at visiting the door, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of high climbing, and you will be tongued, you treat people sincerely, if there is any change in the future, and then return the things back. ”
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "I know my father, I met Lan Gongzi earlier, although he is a rich and noble family, but he is not a gentleman, the child has always been sincere to each other, if there is a difference in the future, let's talk about it again!" ”
Dr. Li nodded: "That's it!" ”
Li Tang Buddha spent a long time in the torment, never looked forward to the fifteenth day of the new year, since the last time the restaurant parted, it has been more than ten days, in addition to fiddling with a bunch of new nectar milk at home, she can only go to the old man of the academy to listen to the piano, these days, she is not even a pharmacy!
Today, on the first day of the new year, Li Tang simply felt that these ten days were more difficult than a whole winter! But no matter how hard it is, I have survived.
Li Tang got up early in the morning today, and the whole person looked energetic and energetic!
When he had finished washing, he jumped around the yard, looked at the flower beds, poked at the branches; Suddenly, she ran into the study to flip through the classics, she didn't look serious, leaned on the shelf, this book touched, that book flipped!
Watching Li Tang shuttling back and forth between the courtyard and the study room, Li Yu couldn't bear to be disturbed, got up from the bookcase, walked to Li Tang's side in front of the bookshelf, and said as if he suddenly realized: "Ah, by the way, today is the first day of junior high school!" ”
Li Tang glanced at him, ignored it, and continued to flip through the book.
Li Yu didn't give up, and leaned close to her ear: "Ah, it seems that the fifteenth day of the new year is the day of incense, eh, Tang'er, do you say I want to tell my mother that there is a nunnery on this Yanfeng Mountain, and you can also go to incense in the future?" ”
Li Tang finally raised his eyes to face him, didn't go around the bend with him, and hit the nail on the head: "Go and say, what's so strange about my daughter's family making an appointment to go to Shangxiang together?" ”
Li Yu felt that he was really stunned, thinking about it, Tang'er is his daughter's family, and it is common for him to ask his female companion to go to Shangxiang, why does he think that he can use this to blackmail? Li Yu held the book and knocked on his head: "Ha, too!" ”
The brother and sister chatted happily, and Mrs. Li's voice came from the door: "Yu'er, Tang'er, come out for breakfast quickly, Daddy still has to go to the pharmacy!" ”
Hearing this, the two put down their books and went out of the study to the hall to have breakfast.
—————
Bai Shaojie was at home today, and after breakfast, Bai Meixue began to sort out the things to be used on the mountain, and Mrs. Bai also helped prepare some items. Bai Shaojie was wandering in the front yard, he didn't go to the city today, so he must have accompanied Bai Meixue up the mountain.
————
Because Mrs. Li has to go to the pharmacy every day to deliver food, the Li family has to have lunch earlier, and the same is true today.
Li Tang picked out a blue-gray shirt in the room and changed it into, combed his hair meticulously together, tied a lotus leaf scarf, carefully checked whether his hair was messy, and then went out of the room after tidying up.
Today's weather is very good, although it is winter, the noon sun is sprinkled in the yard, which makes people's hearts warm.
Li Yu moved a rattan chair to read the Buddhist scriptures next to the laurel tree on the courtyard wall, and saw Li Tang running out with a small box in his hand, not knowing what it contained; Looking up and down, although it was the usual clothes, it looked very neat today: "Yo, it's packed up so soon?" Are you going to go in such a hurry? ”
Li Tang didn't bother to take care of him, but now he had a request for help, so he could only greet him with a smile: "Brother, you can wait for me at the foot of the mountain later, let's come back together?" ”
Li Yu squeezed her eyebrows and smiled, shook her head helplessly, and said, "You dare to climb the mountain with people to incense, how can you be afraid of the one mile back?" ”
Li Tang wanted to jump to his feet and scold angrily, but after all, he couldn't help it, and stepped forward to pull his sleeve with one hand: "Oh, brother, brother..."
Li Yu slapped her hand away and glanced at her: "Okay, okay, hurry up, don't let Miss Nabai wait." "That's what she did.
The next moment, Li Tang had already run out of the hospital gate with joy and ran towards the south gate...
-----------------
The Bai family had just started to eat lunch at this time, and Bai Meixue saw that Mrs. Bai was still not in good spirits: "Mother, after eating, you go to the room to rest for a while, I cooked soup, I have already instructed Dongmei, you serve it to you, you have to remember to drink." ”
Mrs. Bai smiled: "I know, you should be careful when you go up the mountain." He turned his head and told Bai Shaojie: "The road on the mountain is not easy to walk, you are optimistic about Meixue." ”
Bai Shaojie sat up straight and raised his head, pretending to be serious: "Yes, take the order, my mother." ”
Bai Meixue, who was standing on the side, was close to Xia'er, who was secretly covering her mouth and laughing.
Mrs. Bai glared at him helplessly: "Look at you, you are in your twenties, and you still look like a child; By the way, when I went to the city a few days ago, I went to Yang's house for a walk, the youngest daughter of Yang Zhizhou, your father and he had plans a few years ago, and now Miss Yang is also fourteen. ”
