"The slave and maid understood. Does the county lord have any other arrangements? ”

"Not for the time being, let's go down!"

"Yes."

Dian Hai and a few maids were still busy going back and forth, moving things to the house. And the naughty Xiaobao wears it in the middle from time to time, wanting to help, but it is always adding to the chaos, making an easy thing become flustered because of Xiaobao's existence. Looking at Xiaobao's serious appearance, Bai Lilan couldn't help laughing, wondering if every child had such a headache for a while when they were growing up.

When Xiaobao tried to help again and was denied, he crouched down by the wall in frustration, scratching the dirt with a tree branch, and deserved to vent his anger. Sensing that someone was approaching, Xiaobao looked up angrily, but found that it was Baili Lan standing next to him.

"Eldest sister, do you need me to help!"

Looking at his excited look, Bai Lilan shook her head with a smile and said, "You are like this, where is the little boy, you are clearly a child who works hard." Get up quickly, come in with me, I have something to tell you. ”

For some reason, no matter how anxious Xiaobao was, when he saw Baili Lan, he magically calmed down, as if facing a wave of quiet lake, unconsciously, calming your mind. In Bai Lilan's eyes, it seems that nothing is worth making a fuss about, no matter what happens, she can face it calmly.

This old mansion in the heart of the capital, although it is old, is as good as new because of its proper preservation. The courtyard is small and chic, and the flowers are full of flowers, so that people in it feel like they are in Jiangnan.

The people, one big and one small, stood in the middle of the garden, and no one spoke.

Xiaobao felt that today's Baili Lan was very strange, as if an important decision had been made in his heart, which could change the trajectory of a person's life. But the others didn't notice it, and they didn't know if Bai Lilan's plan in his heart would be calculated on him. I know that the person opposite is the eldest sister who loves me, but sometimes, Xiaobao will involuntarily feel cold from the soles of his feet, especially in the eyes of the world in the two holes, Xiaobao feels that all his thoughts are hidden.

"What are you thinking?" Just when Xiaobao was in a daze, Bai Lilan suddenly turned around, looked at him with a smile, and asked.

With his hands behind his back, Xiaobao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I didn't think about anything." After saying this, I saw Bai Lilan showing a look of "I know everything". You see, in front of the eldest sister, there is really no secret, "Okay, I admit it, I was thinking just now, today's eldest sister is very strange." ”

"What's so strange?"

"Hmm...... I can't say it, I always feel that the eldest sister is planning something, and it has something to do with us. ”

Seemingly satisfied with Xiaobao's sensitivity, Baili Lan said approvingly, "It's good for you to have a pair of observant eyes." So you're thinking about it, what am I planning? ”

"It's too difficult, I'm not a worm in your stomach, how can I know." Xiaobao pursed his mouth and said a little tricky, "Eldest sister, give me some hints." ”

"If you meet a political enemy in the future, and he wants to calculate you and remove you from power, do you want to ask someone to give you some hints?"

Baili Lan is always very quiet and beautiful in the last moment, and strict and serious in the next moment, and there is no room for a little joke. Even after following Baili Lan for a while, Xiaobao still had a hard time adapting.

With his chin lowered, Xiaobao stood there stubbornly and said, "Since the eldest sister will ask Xiaobao, it must be someone or something related to us." In the whole courtyard, related to you and me are the senior brother, the spring breeze, the summer rain, the autumn frost, the winter snow, and the fourth sister. Of course, the maids are not worth your trouble, and the senior brother is not from Laoshan to help, and it will not make you worried. Then the rest is the fourth sister. After Xiaobao finished speaking, he didn't hear Baililan's voice for a long time, and he couldn't help but look up, and saw that there was a look of approval in his eyes, "Eldest sister, it won't be me who said it, it's really the fourth sister!?" Because he guessed the answer, Xiaobao couldn't help but laugh happily, but before this smile could hang on his cheeks, he paused again, "Eldest sister, why do you want to calculate the fourth sister?" ”

"Who said that I want to calculate her, it's just to help your fourth sister get rid of the weeds around her, so that she won't be used by bad people. You also know that your fourth sister is kind, if someone happens to take advantage of this to hurt her, will you sit idly by? ”

"Of course not, I'm going to beat that bad guy all over the ground!" As he spoke, Xiaobao also waved his fist, gestured, and was full of resentment, "It's just, who is the bad guy that the eldest sister is talking about?" I'll knock him out of Nanzhao right now!" ”

"Have you forgotten how you were educated before? Always shouting and shouting to kill, it's the way of a reckless man! Baili Lan frowned. It was such a simple action that Xiaobao was immediately silenced, and he didn't dare to say more, "Listen to your master, Senior Brother Dianhai is not only superb in martial arts, but also familiar with military books." Anyway, the date of our departure has not yet been decided, so from tomorrow onwards, let him teach you to read. ”

When it came to reading, Xiaobao's face wrinkled together, and he wanted to bargain, but when he saw Baili Lan's cold face, he swallowed all the words into his stomach.

"What, are you very unwilling?"

"No, Xiaobao didn't think so. It's just that after I learned the art of war, didn't I learn martial arts? ”

"The two have nothing to do with each other. As long as you understand the art of war that Senior Brother Dianhai has given you, you can use your time at will. ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

The smile climbed up the little boy's cheek again, and Xiaobao swore and said, "Sister, don't worry, when I grow up, I will definitely become a civil and military all-rounder!" ”

Looking at Xiao Bao's appearance of being determined to win, Baili Lan couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth slightly.

***

After nightfall, a gray carrier pigeon stopped at the window of Baililan. Baili Lan was meditating intently, and when she heard the sound, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the cooing pigeon.

Her eyes gradually brightened, and Bai Lilan got up and grabbed the pigeon in her palm. And the pigeon was also well-behaved, and did not resist, allowing Baili Lan to take the note from his body.

Standing on the note carefully, there were two lines of words written on it in small block letters, which were concise and to the point, but it made Baili Lan smile.

"County Lord!" At this moment, Dongxue knocked on the door of the house, and after getting Baililan's permission, pushed the door in.

"But what do you want to report?"

"Yes. As soon as I arrived in Dadu today, the slave maid saw that the fourth lady looked panicked, and after packing up her things, she went to the outer street alone, as if she was waiting for someone there. After about half an hour, I saw a carriage parked there, and the fourth lady got into the carriage, and after another half an hour, she came down. ”

"You didn't see anyone in the carriage the whole time?"

"No, but the slave and maid followed the carriage and wanted to track it down. The carriage finally drove into the Governor's Palace. So the slave maid thought that he should be a member of the governor's house. ”

Bai Lilan sneered, and said in a cold voice, "Silly Dongxue, I was obviously deceived, and I thought I had found a clue." ”

Suddenly looking up at Baili Lan, Dongxue looked puzzled.

Turning his head leisurely, looking at the bewildered winter snow, Baili Lan said, "Is the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion accessible to ordinary people?" Not to mention driving a horse-drawn carriage. That person clearly wanted to shift our attention to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, because there was no way to investigate, and the matter could only be closed. ”

"This man is really cunning!" Dongxue squinted dangerously and said, "However, as the county lord said, being able to drive a carriage into the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion should also be extraordinary. ”

"I don't care if he's a mortal or not, but if I dare to make up my mind about the Nanwang Mansion, I can't tolerate him!" Although his tone was light, no one dared to doubt that Bai Lilan at this moment had really moved to kill, "Let Xia Yu go out to inquire about who is in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and whether there are any young heirs." Also, in order to confuse us, that man must have been in and out of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion many times, so you should remember the sign of that carriage and see if you can find any clues in other places. After a pause, Bai Lilan seemed to think for a while, and then said, "If my guess is correct, the person in the carriage should be Shangguan Yan." He hid his background from us, he will definitely not be from the capital, with this clue, quickly go to find out about this matter. ”

Feeling the Xiao Kill in Baili Lan's tone, Dong Xue also held her breath, clasped her fists with both hands and said, "Yes!" ”

After Dongxue left, Baili Lan unfolded the note again, and looking at the content on it, Bai Li Lan showed a playful smile.

***

In this small courtyard, the Baili family sisters and brothers settled down temporarily. Every day, Baili Lan is busy going out of the house, Baili Jun prepares food and clothing for the people in the house, and Baili Qingbao learns the art of war, dancing knives and guns. The family seems to be harmonious, but there is already an undercurrent behind it.

A sword had just been danced in the courtyard, and Baili Qingbao was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and he was about to drink the well water. Dian Hai, who had been taking care of him, hurriedly took the water scoop away and said, "The water is cold and hurts your body, you have just practiced martial arts, it will damage your spirit." ”

Constantly fanning the wind with his hands, Xiaobao said eagerly, "But people are very hot!" Good brother, give me water, I'm dying of thirst! ”

Although Xiaobao begged pitifully, Dian Hai was unmoved, still looking righteous and righteous, and said, "The Fire Yang Heart Method you practiced is pure Yang Internal Strength, and you will feel that heat is normal." If a normal adult man practices this skill, he is afraid that it will be like a burning fire, and it will be even more unbearable. You are still young, and you are just feeling hot and thirsty, and you are not so sinful. ”

"Who said it, I'm like roasting on the stove now, give it to me, give it to me!" Xiaobao jumped up and asked for enough water to drink, but it ended in failure over and over again.

"Xiaobao, come on, there is a freshly cut watermelon, it's not so cold, and it quenches your thirst!" Just when Xiaobao was angry, Bailijun and Chunfeng came over with a plate of watermelons and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiaobao ran over as if he had seen a savior, and said with a smile, "It's still the fourth sister who is good to Xiaobao!" Come and give me a piece! ”

Before the watermelon plate was placed on the stone table, Xiaobao couldn't wait to grab a piece and eat it. Soon, there was a lot of watermelon juice on the side of his mouth, and there were also seeds on his lips.
