Chapter Twenty-Four: He Asks for Pen and Ink?
Inside the Pak Lobby.
"Your name is Yan?"
Bai Yan looked at Shui Yan with a puzzled face.
"The surname of Zou, the name Xing, is now changed to Yan!"
Shui Yan replied.
Then he slowly told the story of being chased and killed by the enemy on the way. And in order to survive to the Qin State, he has now changed his name to Yan.
Inside the lobby.
The Bai clan listened to Shui Yan's words, and then they understood, no wonder this person was so down.
The next step is to ask.
According to his memory, Bai Yan asked about the Zou family, as well as some things from fifteen years ago.
During the whole process, Shui Yan only occasionally showed a look of thought, and the others were all answered, and even Bai Yan deliberately said some things that he didn't have, but Shui Yan saw through them.
See here.
Bai Yan looked at Bai Zhong and signaled Shui Yan's identity, there was no problem.
Next to Bai Yan, the two middle-aged men who were also kneeling also glanced at each other at this moment, their eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Apparently the identity of the teenager was confirmed, and it was not a good thing for them.
Above the lobby.
When Bai Zhong saw Bai Yan's gaze, he didn't have a good face.
After all, Bai Yan never told him about this matter.
But at this time, Bai Zhong also understood that the time was not the time to worry about that.
"Lord Zou now?"
Looking at the young man, Bai Zhong thought for a moment and asked.
Although he was very dissatisfied with this marriage, after all, he had already decided to marry his granddaughter Bai Junzhu to a famous family in the Qin State.
But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and the etiquette that should be there, as an elder, he naturally still has it.
"Falsely imprisoned by the enemy, deceased!"
Shui Yan looked at the old man and asked, and replied.
In fact, when he entered the lobby, not to mention that he was not Zou Xing, I was afraid that Zou Xing himself was here, and he could see at a glance that these people from the Bai family in front of him were not very welcome to his arrival.
But think about it.
Although he didn't know who Bai Yan's daughter was, he inadvertently glanced at it and found that most of the Bai women's daughters were very beautiful, and two of them were even more stunning. I'm afraid that if it is placed in Linzi, Qi State, it is rare.
Plus Bai's identity.
Presumably, ordinary scholars can't get into the eyes of the Bai clan at all, and it is even said that the Zou family has been in decline for a hundred years after Zou Ji, and it is not a famous family in the Qi country.
Yu Guang looked at the women.
This is Shui Yan's experience again, what is the Shi clan.
Because of his noble status, a man can marry a beautiful woman, and he can also set up a concubine if he is not even in the same place. Therefore, most of his children are handsome men and beautiful women.
In addition, the people of the Shi clan are powerful and do not need to be exposed to wind and rain, so the women of the Shi clan are much whiter than the common people's families. This is a natural advantage, and there are few women in ordinary people's families who can compare.
No wonder men all over the world want to marry a woman of the noble clan.
But this time.
He didn't come to marry a wife, no matter how beautiful the Bai woman was, it had nothing to do with him.
"In this way, isn't the Zou clan already in decline?"
"Obviously, it's more than that, even if it is hunted down, obviously the Zou clan of Qi State, I'm afraid it's already ......"
As Shui Yan's words fell, those people of the Bai clan who were watching the excitement shouted one after another. Didn't pay any attention to the water in the lobby.
It was Bai Zhong, who had just asked, who was also surprised when he heard Shui Yan's words at this moment.
On the other side, the two men beside Bai Yan looked at Shui Yan at the moment, and they were also dissatisfied.
So to speak.
You're the only one left in the Zou family?
If you want to have no identity like this, you want to have no background and no background, do you still want to marry my Bai woman?
"It's the old man who talks a lot!"
Bai Zhong shook his head and sighed.
However, Bai Zhong found that the young man did not show a pitiful appearance, and was still neither humble nor arrogant.
This made Bai Zhong very curious, if it was someone else, it was estimated that he would have already begun to cry miserably at this time.
The boy surprised him a little.
"It's been a long walk, why don't you go down and rest first? The house has prepared a room for you. ”
Bai Zhong thought for a moment and said to Shui Yan.
Accompanied by Bai Zhong's words.
Not to mention the two old women beside Bai Zhong, that is, the three Bai Yan brothers, they all held their breath and looked at Shui Yan with some uneasiness.
For they were afraid that the next moment, the young man would speak about the marriage.
"Thank you!"
Shui Yan arched his hand and said.
Until this moment, the people of the Bai clan who were worried about it breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
After all, the teenager appeared so suddenly, and they didn't have time to think about what to do.
Inside the lobby.
Watch the boy leave with his subordinates.
Bai Junzhu, who has been between his cousins and sisters, looks at his father and mother with beautiful eyes at this moment.
When Bai Yan and the woman saw this scene, they felt a little guilty in their eyes. But he signaled to reassure him.
Bai Yan has not yet spoken.
Voices from others rang out in the lobby.
"Father, this son is not worthy of my Bai clan, nor is he worthy of Junzhu!"
"Father, my Bai clan may be able to send him away with a thousand gold and let him leave the Qin Kingdom!"
The ones who spoke were the two men who were kneeling beside Bai Yan before, Bai Bo and Bai Ji.
Both of them are Bai Yan's half-brothers.
Listening to the words of the eldest brother and the fourth brother at this moment, Bai Yan regretted it, but also looked at his father Bai Zhong.
"Father, what's going on right now?"
Bai Yan asked, also ready to be reprimanded. In his heart, he would rather be reprimanded by his father than really let his eldest daughter Junzhu marry a talented young man.
However, the expected outrage and reprimand did not come. Bai Yan looked at his father with a puzzled expression, as if he was thinking about something.
Bai Junzhu and his sister Bai Yingxue came to their mother's side Xue at some point, and also looked at their grandfather Bai Zhong.
"You don't see that the young man's trip is not for marriage!"
Before Bai Zhong could speak, the old woman beside Bai Zhong spoke to Bai Yan and the others.
When Bai Zhong heard his wife's words, he couldn't help but turn his head.
Bai Zhong only realized at this time that not only he was aware of it, but even his two wives had already realized that the purpose of the young man coming to the Bai clan was probably not for marriage.
If it was really for marriage, I am afraid that I would have already been angry, or I would have opened my mouth to propose marriage.
"And why did he come here?"
"Not a marriage contract?"
The juniors of the Bai clan whispered one after another.
Even Bai Yan and his wife, Bai Junzhu, and Bai Yingxue looked at their grandmother with some doubts.
"The Bai family hasn't had a visitor for a long time, I'll go and see the next person, how about cleaning up the room!"
Under everyone's gaze, the old woman did not say anything, but got up to leave.
However, when she got up, the old woman looked at Bai Yan, Bai Yan's wife Xue, as well as Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue.
"You will come with me!"
......
Inside the room.
The next person has already prepared the bucket.
Shui Yan was not polite, took a bath, and changed into the clothes that Bai had prepared for him.
Then wash the changed clothes and dry them in the room.
Although the clothes are very torn, they were bought for him by his brother who was far away in Qi with his annual salary.
Now in the Qin Kingdom, I don't know what year and month the next time I see my brother, so no matter how worn out and old the clothes are, Shui Yan doesn't want to throw them away like this.
After drying the laundry.
Shui Yan asked for a piece of cloth and pen and ink.
In the past, when he was a child, Shui Yan always thought that pen and ink were the product of future generations.
When he grew up, he found that the craftsmanship, forging, and culture of this era were far beyond his imagination.
Just like the brush, in fact, it already existed in the Spring and Autumn period. At first, it was called 'many', and later it was called 'Fu' when it was introduced to Yan and 'Xing' when it was introduced to Chu.
In the Qin State, it is called 'pen'.
"He asked for pen and ink?"
In the corridor, the person who spoke was Bai Yan.
Hearing the words of the next person, not to mention Bai Yan, it was Xue and Bai Junzhu who both looked puzzled.
After the boy took a bath, he asked for pen and ink?
The old woman beside Bai Zhujun was also frowning slightly at this moment.
"Let's go see first."
Although she didn't understand it, the old woman didn't ask too much and continued to walk towards the guest room.
Seeing this, Bai Yan and the three of them also hurriedly followed behind.
