After saying goodbye to the strange old man, Shui Yan didn't meet any strange people again.

Shui Yan didn't pay attention to the strange old man who was called the 'old man on the wall', after all, he just happened to pass by, and he and the old man only had a one-sided relationship.

Aside from the old man's insistence on accepting him as a disciple, there was no other relationship between the two of them.

And after crossing the Turbid River.

After Shui Yan left Qi on horseback, he did not choose to go to Zhao, but entered Han from Wei, and then entered Qin from Korea.

Between Qin and Zhao, there was friction from time to time. It is undoubtedly safer to go from Wei and Han to Qin. This is also a route that businessmen between Qin and Qi will choose at present.

However, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it takes longer.

Even if Shui Yan had a horse, it took nearly two months to enter the border of the Qin State.

When Shui Yan arrived in Pingyang, the whole person had changed! Not to mention, his hair was a little messy, and his clothes were dusty and had several holes.

The two packages that left the Qi Kingdom are now only one, and they have almost no weight.

Shui Yan looked at Pingyang City in front of him.

If it weren't for a horse, he wouldn't know what year or month he would have been able to get here.

No wonder the ancients didn't like to travel.

Where is this travel, this is clearly a life!

Although in Qi, Wei, and Han, there are post stations called Yan and Zhi, and in the Qin State, there are also post stations called 'post' and 'post'.

But the former asks for money. The latter is not given at all.

With no money, he could only sleep on the side of the road all the way, and when it rained, he rubbed the eaves of other people's houses for one night.

"I hope I don't run in vain!"

After muttering a word, Shui Yan strode towards the gate of Pingyang City.

Binh Duong City. A small city in the hinterland of the Qin State, between Yongcheng and Xianyang.

Xianyang is the capital of Qin and the most prosperous place in Qin, with countless rich armor, powerful people, and clans.

And Yongcheng is where the temple of the Qin king's clan is located, and the Empress Dowager Huayang, who supported the succession of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, lives in the Yongcheng Qinian Palace.

Therefore, Pingyang City between the two is particularly inconspicuous, and there are even few nobles.

The reason why Binh Duong is famous is nothing more than because in Binh Duong City, there is a Bai clan.

Shui Yan led the horses that followed him all the way and walked on the streets of Pingyang City.

Fortunately, Pingyang City is not big, so after inquiring, I soon came to the gate of the Bai Mansion.

Looking at the mansion in front of him, he thought that the Zou family had declined, and he looked cold.

While smiling bitterly, Shui Yan couldn't help but have a thought.

He won't be kicked out!

But since they all came to Pingyang Bai's place, it was naturally impossible to return at this time.

"Stop!"

Seeing Shui Yan step forward, the two subordinates who had been guarding the door of the mansion stepped forward, their eyes constantly looking at Shui Yan.

If it weren't for the fact that the young man looked shabby, he was leading a horse.

The two guards probably didn't bother to ask, and directly drove Shui Yan away.

It was also that horse that made them suspicious and stepped forward to stop them, and they didn't dare to drive people away directly.

And under the gaze of the two subordinates, Shui Yan took out Zou Xing's jade pendant from his arms.

A moment later.

Bai's Mansion.

"What? This! ”

A middle-aged man who was slightly blessed looked at the jade pendant in his hand at the moment and his eyes widened. Then he looked at the jade pendant carefully.

But after looking up and down, the middle-aged man had already determined that this jade pendant was indeed his.

The middle-aged man is Bai Yan.

Looking at Yu Pei at this moment, not to mention Bai Yan, even the woman with a graceful figure on the side, she was very surprised.

"How's that for good? Father is afraid that he will reprimand again! ”

Bai Yan covered his forehead, his face was big.

Fifteen years ago, he was rescued from his cell by Lord Zou of Qi State. After the catastrophe, plus the beauty in his arms, he proposed marriage on a whim.

After that, I didn't take this matter to heart.

After all, it's just a marriage.

And Zou has a life-saving grace for him.

However, at the moment, things are slightly different from what he imagined.

His father, Bai Zhong, had already planned to marry the Bai family with the Mengshi and the Li family in Longxi.

This made him either lose his trust, or be scolded by his father.

How good is that!

"Now, please bring people into the house first, you immediately tell your father about this matter, and I will inform Junzhu and Yingxue. Meet before you decide. ”

The woman looked at her man and whispered.

"In the past, it was you and I who owed a favor, but now if we don't even see each other, I'm afraid that if it spreads, you and I may not be afraid, but Bai's reputation may be ruined."

When the woman had finished speaking, she commanded her servants to invite them into the house.

"That's all there is to it."

Bai Yan sighed.

A moment later.

didn't surprise Bai Yan, Bai Zhong, who was over half a hundred years old and had an old complexion, was so angry that he was almost speechless when he heard Bai Yan's words.

"You, you, you !!"

Bai Zhong was so angry that he couldn't finish his words right now.

Don't look at Bai Yan is middle-aged and rich, but in front of his father Bai Zhong, he still bows his head and doesn't dare to say anything. Send your face to scold.

In the courtyard of the White Mansion on the other side, the two girls also looked at their mothers in surprise.

"What, my father was once married to my eldest sister? Now that man is outside the house? ”

The younger girl, her beautiful eyes looked at her mother in shock, and her small mouth was stunned.

Then the girl turned to look at her eldest sister, her eyes full of worry.

However, the girl is not only beautiful in appearance, but also in terms of her talent and learning, she is a step higher than those scholars in Yongcheng and Xianyang.

There are countless men of the scholar clan who pursue the eldest sister.

Even his grandfather once vaguely mentioned that he wanted his eldest sister to marry Montessori and Lee.

Why did a 'fiancé' from Qi suddenly appear now.

"We'll talk about that later. Junzhu, let's go with my mother to see that person first, after all, it is about your father, and it will affect the reputation of the Bai family. ”

The woman ignored the younger daughter, but looked at the eldest daughter, whose pretty face was not revealed, although her eyes were also uneasy.

"Hmm."

The older girl, listening to her mother's words, nodded slightly, although her breathing was a little short.

When Shui Yan followed his subordinates into the mansion.

The people of the Bai family in the entire mansion heard the news and went to the lobby.

And when Shui Yan walked through several corridors and courtyards, he finally came to the lobby.

In the Bai clan's hall, the Bai clan people in Pingyang City had already gathered together.

Kneeling at the head were Bai Zhong and two old women over half a hundred years old.

In turn, there were Bai Yan and two middle-aged men.

The rest of the eight or nine young descendants of the Bai family, men and women, all followed their mothers and stood on both sides.

When Shui Yan entered the lobby.

"Hiss~!"

"This!!"

At this moment, those Bai juniors who were about the same size as Shui Yan saw Shui Yan's eyes, and they looked at their uncle Bai Yan who was kneeling with a puzzled expression.

Seems confused.

Bai Junzhu's fiancé, is this person?

Didn't the mother and relatives all say that the grandfather was planning to marry Junzhu Xu to the Mengshi or the Li family in Longxi?

If you marry this man, wouldn't it ......

At this moment, it is no wonder that these Bai juniors are a little noisy, that is, Bai Zhong, Bai Yan and others, looking at the young man who walked into the lobby, they were all dumbfounded.

I saw that the young man was wearing a tattered cloth coat and his hair was untidy. If it weren't for the jade pendant, they wouldn't have believed that the person in front of them was actually a descendant of the Zou family.

Bai Yan, as Bai Junzhu's father, looked at the young man at the moment, thinking that if he really married his daughter to this young man, he almost didn't breathe.

In fact, even if he didn't see his wife's worried gaze, Bai Yan had already made up his mind in his heart.

No way!

Death could not betroth his daughter to this young man.

We must find a way to block the young man's tongue and prevent the Bai family's reputation from being damaged.

"Eldest sister!"

Bai Yingxue looked at the young man at the moment, and then looked at her eldest sister with red eyes, full of worry.

"Father is here, don't worry."

Bai Junzhu whispered to the little sister, but the slightly tightened eyebrows and the beautiful eyes full of worry had already exposed her uneasy heart.
