The car was prepared with dry food and water, and everyone could pass the lunch hastily, but the bumps along the way really made everyone a little unbearable, and the lower half of their bodies were about to fall apart and they were unconscious.

Han Cong, who was driving the car, saw a small thatched house on the hillside in front of him, squinted his eyes, then turned his horse's head and drove down the dirt road, heading towards the thatched house, wanting everyone to get out of the car to rest for a while.

When they arrived in front of the thatched house, Han Cong and Jiang Xin jumped out of the carriage neatly and helped Bai Luo and Chai Hu down.

Only then did everyone take a closer look at the thatched house.

I saw that the thatched house was made of adobe bricks and wooden pillars, and the roof was a thatched roof, and the outside of the house was hastily surrounded by dead branches to make a courtyard, and a live opening was opened in the middle as a courtyard gate.

Chai Hu stepped forward and wanted to knock on the door to ask for a bowl of water to drink, looking at the courtyard door, but he really didn't know how to start.

This courtyard door made of dead branches and grass is low and loose, and the force of the firewood knock is light, I am afraid that the people in the house will not hear it, and I am really afraid that the courtyard door will be knocked down by myself.

After thinking about it, Chai Hu put down his hand and shouted directly into the house through the courtyard: "Is there anyone?" Is there anyone in the house? ”

After shouting a few times, an old voice came out of the room: "Yes, yes, who?" ”

After the voice came out, everyone stayed for a while, only to see an old man with a wrinkled face, holding a wooden cane, staggering slowly, and his movements were infinitely slow.

Everyone waited for a quarter of an hour, and then the old man slowly walked from the house to the gate of the courtyard, trembling and trembling his hands, and opened the courtyard door for everyone.

Chai Hu is the most clever, stepped forward into the courtyard, hugged the old man, and said with a smile: "Old man, we are passing by here, a little tired, borrow your treasure land, sit for a while, burn a bowl of hot tea and drink." ”

"Oh, okay, okay, I'm going to boil water for you." The old man was very generous, smiled and agreed, and then moved step by step towards the kitchen with a wooden cane.

As soon as Chai Hu saw it, he had to wait for the old man to finish boiling hot water in the kitchen, and it would be dark.

He simply walked towards the kitchen neatly, and said in his mouth: "Old man, don't dare to bother you, the kitchen is here, let the little one come, I'll come." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the man had already rushed into the kitchen, and after a while he heard the sound of a fire burning in a hurry.

At this time, the old man only moved four steps.

Bai Luo was not in a hurry, her grandfather also had a stroke in his early years, and his parents took care of him at home, and he was very tormented for a few years, and then he had a stroke and was directly paralyzed, and he went within a year.

So Bai Luo has long been used to how to get along with such an old man.

Bai Luo smiled at the old man kindly, and then asked Han Cong and Jiang Xin to go to the house to get a stool and come out.

She personally helped the old man sit down first, and then beckoned several people to take their seats.

The old man saw that Bai Luo's clothes were very noble, and saw that her entourage was all magnificent, so he was humble and fearful, and his speech and demeanor were very restrained, and when he saw Bai Luo's affinity to people, he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down tremblingly, and looked at a few people cautiously.

Bai Luo asked gently: "Old man, don't be afraid, we are all from Anning County, and we went to Yungai Xianting in Shanhai Village to play together, and the carriage on the road was really tired. ”

"Where, where, no, no." The old man hurriedly waved his hand.

After a while, the hot tea was served, the water was the water in the tank, but the tea set and tea were celadon thin tire dark pattern tea sets and superb bamboo leaf green taken from the carriage.

This was sent a few days after Han Fei left.

At that time, Bai Luo was startled when he saw things full of two large carriages.

There are not only all kinds of high-quality tea, Beijing snacks, but also precious Songjiang fine cloth, silk inlaid jade belt, all kinds of mutton fat jade small leaf red sandalwood and other precious hairpins, several large boxes of embroidery beautifully cut and fitted straight clothes, as well as tea sets, study, play pieces, and even the price of gold Chengxintang paper has a sandalwood box.

There are all kinds of details, and they are all things used by young men.

When Bai Luo received the things, he was very confused, until the escort guard respectfully presented a letter, and it was not clear.

The letter reads:

Hugh my brother, send some gifts, talk about the love of the cousin, hope that the brother cherishes, if there is a sending, just tell Han Cong.

Brother Hanfei

Bai Luo remembered that he had been stunned for a long time, but he didn't remember when he and Han Fei became brothers?

The gift came suddenly, and Bai Luo didn't have time to prepare any return gifts, so in a hurry, he had to hastily turn out the only calligraphy and painting that had not been sold from under the bed and let someone take it back.

It was a self-portrait painted by the original Bai Luo who didn't know who to find, and I saw Bai Luo on the painting, dressed in a red official uniform, standing on the lobby, elegant and upright, handsome, but there was a trace of unspeakable worry in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

When Bai Luo first turned to this self-portrait, on a whim, he found a piece of black charcoal and used modern sketching techniques to add his own self-portrait to the right side of this ink painting.

The sketch of Bai Luo and the ink of Bai Luo stand opposite each other, touch the same face, but the expression is completely different, the sketch of Bai Luo face not only does not have a trace of worry, but adds a little more smart and handsome color, although only a few strokes, but the current Bai Luo is painted with vigor and beauty.

Bai Luo didn't know what he was thinking at the time, so the ghost sent this painting as a return gift and handed it to someone to take to Han Fei.

A few people sipped tea, Jiang Xin remembered something, and opened his mouth to chat: "My lord, I heard that Cui Daoyuan, the prefect of Lanzhou, was demoted, and his official position was demoted to the end, and he was demoted to Gaotai as a county magistrate. ”

"Well, I know that the official notice sent by Lanzhou mentions this matter." Bai Luo leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, sipped his tea, and said lightly.

"I heard that it was because of greed for ink, hehe, he still wanted to run the young master on the charge of greedy ink, but I didn't expect that our young master is a serious clean official, but this Cui Daoyuan is a big corrupt official! Phew, you deserve it! The court is really happy this time! discovered the true face of a scum like Cui Daoyuan so quickly! Chai Hu also said with relief on the side.

Han Cong silently sipped the tea, lowered his eyes and thought in his heart, you guys are chatting here easily, but how do you know how much manpower and material resources the Metropolitan Procuratorate has spent, and how many nails have been hidden for many years, so that in just seven days, a Zhengsipin prefect who has such a hard backer in the court can be brought down!

Master Shi of the Academy, this can be regarded as a red face for the crown......

Thinking of this, Han Cong glanced at Bai Luo quietly, only to see that Bai Luo's beautiful peach cheeks were smoked red by the hot tea, and he shook his head in his heart and sighed secretly: Although this red face is a man......
