"I don't know why Xiao Protector gave me that Lingshi card that day?"

Xiao Hufa Lang laughed twice and said, "If I say it, I will see that the girl is different from ordinary people that day, and one day, she will become the mainstay of my Baixiangmen, can you believe it?" ”

Looking at Xiao Protector's appearance that was both true and false, Baili Lan smiled lightly and said, "Whether it's true or not, today can be regarded as a word." Then I hope that we can cooperate seamlessly in the future, everyone, have a smooth journey! ”

"Baili girl, take care!" Everyone clenched their fists to Baili Lan and said, then turned around and rode away on horseback.

The morning sun in Luoxia Town is brilliant and bright, and the face is red, just like the sun in the sky at this moment, full of hope.

"Sister, where are we going next?"

Bai Lilan stretched out her hand to stroke Xiaobao's soft hair, and said slowly, "Now that someone has noticed our movements, Luoxia Town is no longer left, we need to rush to Nanzhao immediately." Xin Xiang should have already brought the news to Emperor Nanzhao, and the 100,000 taels of gold should also have a result. It's time to get our own stuff back! ”

Looking at Baili Lan with big eyes, Xiaobao asked, "Then should we bring the fourth sister back?" I heard from Steward Zhou that she went back to the countryside with the nurse, and her life may not be good. ”

Trying to recall, a delicate and pale shadow was faintly reflected in Baililan's mind. The face is not delicate, but it is like a lovely water lotus, cautious, revealing a stubbornness.

It seems that Baili Lan has a general relationship with this fourth sister, no hatred and no love, and the fourth sister's past in Bai Li Lan is more like a dispensable shadow, so that in her memories, there is not much about her past.

Bai Lilan pursed her lips and said, "Since the fourth sister is not doing well, then let's go and see her." If you want to follow me, take her to Nanzhao with you. Do you know where she lives now, though? ”

Xiaobao nodded and said, "The fourth sister and I left the palace together. The location of our separation is very close to Luoxia Town, and she herself said that her grandmother's house is in Tongxiang Town, next to Luoxia Town. ”

"Do you know what her grandmother's name is?"

"Hmm......" Raising his chin, Xiaobao thought for a while, and then said, "It seems to be surnamed Ma." ”

"Okay, let's go find the fourth sister first. Dianhai, do you know where Tongxiang Town is? ”

Since leaving Wulao Mountain, Dian Hai has rarely spoken, and only when everyone is laughing, he will laugh twice with Hehe. On weekdays, when he has nothing to do, he is always as quiet as a shadow. Hearing Bai Lilan call him, he turned his head from the carriage and nodded honestly and said, "Remember, go down from this road, and you will arrive after walking ten miles." ”

"It's not far off. Then I'm sorry for you, let's go there! ”

"You're welcome, girl." Dian Hai touched the back of his head, grinned, and said, "Everyone, please get into the carriage, before dark, we can rush to Tongxiang Town." ”

Dian Hai really did what he said, the sky was not dark, and a group of people came to the archway of Tongxiang Town, looking at the lively crowd, people coming and going.

"Wow, there are a lot of fruits here, and the liveliness is not lost to Luoxia Town." Xia Yu looked at the crowd of people coming and going, a little dizzy. When I saw the sweet fruits sold on a stall, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Although it is also lively here, it seems that the people are not rich when they look at what they are wearing." Qiushuang also looked at it secretly, and then said, "But everyone's face is full of smiles, they should be very satisfied with their current state of life." ”

"Those who are content are always happy, and the old saying is true." Chunfeng nodded and said approvingly.

A few maids checked their surroundings, and Xiaobao was already attracted by the colorful fruits. I sniffed and sniffed for a long time, but I was embarrassed to pester Baili Lan to buy it for myself, so I could only smell the aroma and drool.

This salivating appearance made everyone laugh, and Bai Lilan waved her hand helplessly in order to prevent the future King of Ningnan from drooling when he was eight years old, so he waved his hand and said helplessly, "Spring Breeze, you take Xiaobao to the shop over there to pick some fruits and come back." ”

"Eldest sister, I don't really want to eat!" Wiping the crystal at the corner of his mouth, Xiaobao said duciously.

After receiving the order, Chunfeng bent down funny and said, "Little boy, don't hide it, the saliva on your mouth is about to flow all over the ground!" You can rest assured that the slave and maid have been chosen, and none of us will tell anyone about this matter!"

"Really!" Baili Qingbao happily showed his little white teeth, and said excitedly, "Then let's go quickly, those sweet fruits will be picked up by others later!" Baili Qingbao rushed to the front of the shop, picking and choosing, and was very happy.

Looking at Xiaobao's happy appearance, Baili Lan's cold face couldn't help but show a smile.

"County Lord!" Dongxue quietly returned to Baili Lan's side and reported, "The slave maid just went to check, and there are six families surnamed Ma in Tongxiang. Three of them only have men, and one has moved to Heshan to do business, while the remaining two, one on South Street and one on North Street, are somewhat similar to those described by Xiao Gongzi. ”

"In that case, let's go and take a look at these two places." beckoned to Xiaobao in the distance, and Bai Lilan instructed lightly, "This little thing doesn't have to delay too much time, at the latest tomorrow morning, we will set off on the road." ”

Xiaobao excitedly held a bag of fruits, the number of samples was very rich, the little face was red, and he held up a big apple and handed it to Baili Lan, "Sister, you taste it first, it must be sweet and juicy!" ”

Signaling Chunfeng to throw all the fruits onto the carriage, Bai Lilan wiped the sweat on Xiaobao's forehead with a handkerchief, and said, "Let's go find the fourth sister first, these things will be eaten later." ”

"Ah, have you found the fourth sister? Then let's go! I just happened to see the fourth sister in a while, and I could give her some fruits! ”

Looking at Xiaobao's happy appearance, Baili Lan bent the corners of her mouth and asked, "Looking at your eager appearance, it seems that you have a good relationship with the fourth sister." Why didn't you find out when you were in the palace? ”

Speaking of this, Xiaobao touched the back of his head very embarrassedly, laughed twice, and then said, "At that time, I wasn't small, I was not sensible." The fourth sister is different from the eldest sister, she is always sullen, not fun at all, and rarely responds when she talks to her, just reading the book by herself, not knowing what she is thinking. So when I was in the palace, I rarely played with her, but occasionally used a green bug to scare her. The fourth sister is very timid, the first time I saw the green worm, I was scared to cry, for this, I was scolded by my father. At that time, I thought, it's just a worm, and I can still be scared to cry, it's really embarrassing, and it also makes me get involved, so when I see the fourth sister in the future, I always secretly tease her. But after that time, the fourth sister calmed down a lot, and no matter how much I tried to play tricks on her, I didn't let my father know about it again. Now that I think about it, it should be that the fourth sister deliberately forbears and can't bear to let me be scolded by my father. Later, when I left the palace, I traveled with her. I was very depressed at that time, so the fourth sister came over to comfort me, sang nursery rhymes to me, and put me to sleep, and it was at that time that my relationship with the fourth sister became close. ”

After recalling it carefully, some fragments emerged in Baililan's mind. Bailijun lost his mother since he was a child, and he was always brought up by his second aunt. But the second aunt put all her thoughts on Bai Liqian, and almost didn't pay much attention to the child who was fostered by her side. And his father was busy fighting in the south and the north, so he rarely had time to stay in the palace, and as for Baililan's mother, because she had a bad relationship with her second aunt, she couldn't take care of it. Without the protection of Bailijun, he can only survive in the cracks like a weed that is self-defeating. Such a growth environment has created Bailijun's cowardly and gentle temperament, even if he is wronged, he does not dare to resist, but constantly pleases others, in order to expect the other party to respond with a smile. It's just that if the cycle goes on like this, whether it is the young ladies and sons in the palace, or the servants of the subordinates, they no longer take her seriously, and they drink it around, as if it is not the blood of King Dingnan flowing in her body.

However, Bai Lilan believes that the more silent people are, the stronger their vitality will be, and they can surprise people.

Squinting her eyes, Bai Lilan said with joy and anger, "Since the fourth sister took more care of you that day, you should know how to be grateful." Look at the fourth sister for a while, if she lives well, then we will leave her some money, if the life is very boring, persuade her to go to Nanzhao with us. ”

Xiaobao nodded and said, "The fourth sister has listened to the eldest sister since she was a child, as long as you speak, she has nothing to disobey." ”

While he was talking, Dian Hai stopped the carriage in front of an inconspicuous farmer, turned around and said, "Girl, we are here." ”

Thinking that he would be able to see Baili Jun soon, Xiaobao looked very excited. As soon as the spring breeze lifted the curtain, he jumped down, ran to the door, and slapped it vigorously, "Fourth sister, fourth sister, we and the eldest sister are here to pick you up!" ”

The little hand slapped the wooden door, and there was a "pop" sound. After a while, there was a sound of broken footsteps in the wooden door, and in Xiaobao's full of anticipation, the wooden door "squeaked" and was pushed open from the inside.

"Who are you looking for, noisy, don't you know that there are children sleeping at home!" A gray-haired mother-in-law ajar the door open, revealing a gap, and said complainingly.

Xiaobao thought that this person was Bailijun's grandmother, so he smiled obediently, "Hello mother-in-law, we are here to find my fourth sister." Is she at home? ”

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, let alone a cute child like Baili Qingbao, even if he is angry, his anger is diluted. Looking at Baili Qingbao, the old woman said, "Ouch, where did you get such a cute doll." The mouth is quite sweet, but who is your sister? I only have an old woman and a four-year-old girl, so there should be no one you are looking for. ”

"Huh? Aren't you Granny Ma? My sister's name is Baili Jun, and she is the young lady who originally came to Dingnan Wangfu, doesn't she live here? ”
