Binh Duong City.

Late at night, the city is quiet, and in the dark and bright night, looking from the city walls, a large area of dimly lit houses looms in the night, which makes people feel quiet and uneasy.

Human beings have a fear of the unknown, just like this night, no one wants to walk in the dark without a candle.

And at this very moment.

Just outside the city, dozens of fires continued to dance slightly, as if they were rushing towards the city wall.

When the firelight came to the bottom of the city tower, what caught his eye was the iron cavalry soldiers holding torches and riding war horses, and the people at the head were none other than Bai Yan.

"General!"

"General!!"

At the entrance of the city gate, five or six Qin officials held Changge in their hands, and respectfully made way for Bai Yan and his party in the night.

"Late tonight, I'm tired of you, I hope you don't shirk this little bit of heart, buy some wine and meat tomorrow and eat it home!"

Bai Yan rode a war horse, and when he was about to enter the city gate, he took out a small half of the money from his arms and handed it to these Qin officials.

Don't look at these Qin officials who manage the city gate of Pingyang, their status is like ants in front of Bai Yan, very humble, but Bai Yan will not despise these people.

After all, if someone wants to move the Bai family, they will never tell the Bai family openly.

And when they know the news, Bai often learns very late.

Compared to the Bai family, these people are the most well-informed people.

Moreover, no matter how small the status of these Qin officials is, they are also responsible for guarding the gate of Pingyang City, and the Bai family is in Pingyang City.

"Thank you, General!"

The Qin officials led by him wanted to excuse himself, but when he saw Bai Yan's eyes, he glanced at the iron cavalry soldiers behind Bai Yan, and finally slowly reached out and took the small half of the money.

For Bai Yan, who is a general, this small half of the money is not much, and it is not even half of the money that goes to the restaurant for his cronies.

However, for the Qin officials guarding the city gate, this amount of money is very expensive, and it will soon be snowing in winter.

At the city gates.

Several Qin officials glanced at each other, and then stood inside the city gate, their eyes full of gratitude and flattery at the young man who rode away.

When the iron cavalry soldiers on war horses drove in front of them.

A few Qin officials closed the gate of Pingyang City.

Bai's.

At this moment, in the Bai Mansion, in a boudoir, accompanied by candle lights.

Next to the window, a moving woman was lying on the wooden table, and whenever there was the slightest movement outside the window, she couldn't help but beat her eyelids.

"Eldest sister!"

At this time, another girl quietly pushed open the door and walked in.

But before the two girls could open their mouths to chat, they suddenly heard that in the mansion, the captive dog began to bark.

Hear a dog barking.

Whether it was the girl who had just entered the room or the woman lying in front of the window, they were all stunned, especially the woman by the window, her eyes were full of nervousness.

In the middle of the night, my uncle Bai Yu was already in the mansion, so there was only one left. The man!

Outside the mansion.

As soon as Bai Yan got off the horse, he saw the servants and maids of the Bai Mansion coming forward with candles, the maids came to Bai Yan's side, and the servants took the soldiers to the small house that had been prepared in the city to rest.

After Bai Yan handed over the war horse to the servant, he asked the maid to lead the way in front.

Entering the mansion, listening to the sound of dogs barking, Bai Yan watched the maid holding a candlestick and candle lamp, lighting in front, and when he came to the main hall, he saw Bai Zhong, Bai Bo and others who had not yet rested.

It was not the first time Bai Yan had come to Bai's, so he didn't have any nervousness, and he was used to seeing life and death.

"Bai Yan has seen it."

Bai Yan came to the main hall and stood in place to salute Bai Zhongji.

Bai Yan originally wanted to follow the previous name, but when he saw the eyes of Bai Yan, Bai Yu and others, he finally slowly changed his words.

"Bai Yan, meet grandfather!"

Bai Yanjili said.

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yan couldn't help but think of the time when he first came to the Bai clan in the past.

At that time, pretending to be Zou Xing, Bai Yan thought of a person in the later generations, the person who was made a three-sex domestic slave.

Fortunately, this thought was only a moment, and Bai Yan left it behind.

Compared with that person, he is not the father of the three surnames, and this thing of pretending to be the surname Zou is a deception.

Therefore he did not speak the same way as the man.

Even if it is a bit immoral, but in this world, as long as you pretend to be a person like this, you can get a comfortable life and the support of the noble background.

Iron-clad people who would rather die than give in are fools.

Not to mention, when the family is in the Qi country, even he was kicked out of the Qi country.

"Hmm!"

In the main hall, the old man Bai Zhong looked at Bai Yan and nodded, whether it was the smile on the old man's face or the look in his eyes, he revealed a sense of satisfaction and relief.

Not only Bai Zhong, but then facing Bai Yan's salute, the two old women of Fan and Ji were extremely satisfied.

Then came the rest of the main hall.

For Bai Yan's gift, Bai Bo and others returned the salute one after another.

In the main hall.

After Bai Yan finished saluting, he didn't hear Bai Zhong and the others let him sit down.

Ben was a little puzzled, and then he saw a maid carrying a wooden plate with tea coming forward, and Bai Ping also poured a cup of tea with tea under the gaze of Bai Yan and everyone, and then held it with both hands, came to Bai Yan, and motioned for Bai Yan to drink tea while saluting.

"All the way!"

Bai Ping said.

Looked at.

Although Bai Yan had no experience and didn't know if this was Bai's custom, he still reached out and took the tea in Bai Ping's hand, and drank it all before returning the salute with both hands.

At this time, after the two of them finished saluting, Bai Yan and Bai Ping got up, only to hear Bai Zhong open his mouth and let him take a seat.

"I'm going to pick up my relatives tomorrow, Bai Yan, you and Bai Ping will go together, and I'll be in the Bai Mansion."

Bai Yu watched Bai Yan take a seat, and then said softly.

Now the iron cavalry is under the command of Bai Yan, directly led by Bai Yan, coupled with the appointment given to Bai Yan by the king, even if Bai Yan transfers the iron cavalry, there is a wording, so it is best to be accompanied by Bai Yan to welcome relatives.

The entire Bai clan now has two generals and generals, one is Bai Yu, and the other is Bai Yan.

There has to be someone here in the Bai Mansion.

"Indeed, your uncle Bai Yu's health is not as good as it was at the beginning, and Bai Yan is still young, and many scholars don't know each other, so it is more appropriate for your uncle to welcome guests in the mansion."

Among the Bai Bo brothers, Bai Ji, the youngest, also nodded in agreement.

Compared with the other three brothers, Bai Ji is the youngest, not as rich as Bai Bo and Bai Yan, and his physique is not as burly as Bai Yu, who was tempered on the battlefield.

Bai Ji gives people the feeling that he is a Confucian who is too traditional to be traditional, with a kind face and a swarthy beard on his mouth.

Previously, Bai Ji rarely took the initiative to speak in Bai Yan's presence.

Because in Bai Ji's heart, Bai Yan has always been very complicated, when Bai Yan first came to the Bai family, he saw that Bai Yan was just an orphan of the Zou family, so he minded very much in his heart, so he and his eldest brother Bai Bo were the most opposed to marriage in the clan.

Later, as time passed, the young man made many feats in the battlefield and continued to obtain knighthoods, and even after Bai Yu was poisoned, the entire Bai clan needed to rely on the young man to hold up the lintel during that time.

When the resistance disappears, there is regret.

But unlike the eldest brother Bai Bo, the eldest brother can smile at the past, but as a scholar, he always can't get past his face, and he is a little embarrassed in his heart, which is why he rarely speaks.

Until two days ago.

After learning that the three eldest brothers finally continued their marriage contract with the young man, Bai Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Inside the main hall.

Bai Yan heard Bai Yu and Bai Ji's words and nodded slightly.

"Good!"

Then Bai Yan turned his head and looked at Bai Ping, who had just made tea: "Then early tomorrow morning, Bai Yan will go to Fengfu with Ziyuan!" ”

Ziyuan is Bai Ping, Bai Ping has already performed the crown ceremony, so he has given the word, and Bai Ping's word is Yuan, which is exactly the same as the famous Qu Yuan of Chu State.

For Qu Yuan, the idol of his grandmother, Bai Yan has been familiar with it since he was a child.

Qu Yuan, Mi surname, Qu family, name Ping, the word Yuan.

It is very likely that when Bai Ping was born, and the reason for the continuous decline of the Bai family at that time, Bai Bo hoped that after his eldest son admitted it, he could also be like Qu Yuan of Chu State, talented and virtuous, serve Qin State, and light the lintel.

So he named his eldest son Bai Ping, not only with the same name as Qu Yuan, but also with the same word when he became an adult.

"There is labor!"

Bai Ping saw Bai Yan's gaze and heard Bai Yan's words, so he hurriedly raised his hand and saluted, and said with gratitude.

Bai Ping knew that Bai Yan was taking a break from his busy schedule to return to Pingyang, and now it was late at night when he arrived in Pingyang, and he had to get up early to pick up his relatives the next day.

Not to mention that Bai Yan had to keep an eye on the situation at all times and let the iron horse stand by.

It is false to say in my heart that I am not grateful.

Thinking of being able to marry tomorrow, Bai Ping was also very excited, although Feng Hui was not a famous beauty, her appearance was not bad, let alone the birth of Feng.

When he goes to Feng Hui as his wife, whether he wants to be in the battlefield barracks or in the local area in the future, his father-in-law Feng Zheng and Feng Qujian Feng Lao will definitely help him.

Enlisting in the army will be smooth sailing.

"Don't be polite!"

Bai Yan bowed to Bai Ping and saluted back.

In Bai Yan's heart, he was actually reluctant to welcome guests in the Bai family, after all, the relationship between the Bai family was very complicated, and many scholars and clans had to slack off.

Staying in Bai's is not tired of the body, but tired!

It's better to go to Feng's mansion.

Inside the main hall.

Because Bai Yan returned to the mansion, Bai Zhong arranged all the relevant matters for tomorrow, and after determining that Bai Yan and Bai Yan would go to greet the invitation, the matter of going to Duyou to worship naturally fell on Bai Yan.

Bai Bo went to the old temple ten miles away in Yixian County, and where to worship his ancestors with other Bai branches.

The joint venture between the Feng family and the Bai family is of great importance, and it is also a major event for the Bai family, so whether it is the ancestor Bai Qi or the old clan, they must worship their ancestors in order to seek the blessing of their ancestors.

Bai Yan took the bamboo slip from the maid's hand, and looked at the registrant inside who was going to send the Feng family's financial gift tomorrow.

However, what Bai Yan didn't expect was.

Late at night, because the matter had not yet been discussed, Bai Yan was still looking at the bamboo slips, and saw the other maids coming in with hot vegetable soups, Bai Yan didn't care at first, and continued to look at the bamboo slips.

However, when he felt that someone had brought hot soup to him, Bai Yan thought it was a maid, so he glanced at it casually, and raised his head without thinking.

I saw a girl I hadn't seen for a long time.

Bai Junzhu!

At this moment, Bai Yan looked at the young man, the bamboo slip in his hand moved slightly, and seeing that Bai Zhong and the others were not nervous, his heart jumped, full of restraint.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yan looked at the hot soup on the wooden table in front of him, which was steaming a little, and said softly.

This scene fell in the eyes of others.

"Hehehe!!"

"Haha!"

When Bai Bo and the others saw Bai Yan's appearance, they couldn't help laughing, especially Bai Yu, who laughed out loud directly.

Looking at Bai Yan's cramped and uneasy appearance, Bai Yu really couldn't stop smiling, not to mention how happy.

Seeing Bai Yan in the past, or hearing about his deeds on the battlefield, is completely opposite to the feeling that Bai Yan gives people now.

"Huh!"

Even the Ji family and the Fan family above the lobby couldn't help but laugh when they looked at Bai Yan, and Bai Zhong next to him stroked his long beard with a smile.

As for the person concerned, Bai Junzhuqiao's face was full of red, and the voice she heard in her ears made her dare not raise her head, nor dare she look at the young man in front of her, and turned to leave.

Looked at.

The other girl in front of Bai Yan hurriedly followed, but before leaving, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Bai Yan.

Inside the main hall.

With the two girls leaving, everyone's laughter slowly dissipated, and then looked at the young man who bowed his head and drank the soup silently, without saying a word.

Fortunately, the night was dark, and there were still many matters tomorrow, so everyone continued to explain tomorrow's events while drinking hot soup, until everything was explained clearly, and everyone went back to rest.

Day 2.

The sky was just getting bright, and in the Bai Clan's mansion, whether it was the servants, maids, or Bai clan people in the mansion, they were all busy, and red cloths and red ornaments were tied everywhere.

Bai Yan was in the room, yawning, and rubbing his eyes.

Listening to the footsteps coming and going from time to time outside the room, when Bai Yan got dressed and walked out of the room, he saw that in the courtyard, Ji took Xue and told Bai Ping something.

Seeing Bai Yan, in the courtyard, whether it was the Xue family or Bai Ping, they all turned their heads to look.

And along with it, there are two girls next to Xue.

Bai Yan came to the courtyard and saluted the Ji family and the Xue family.

"Junzhu, take Bai Yan to have some breakfast, and we'll leave later!"

Xue Shi turned his head to Bai Junzhu and said.

Bai Junzhu, who looked moving and had white and tender skin, nodded when he heard his mother's words, but at this moment Bai Junzhu still didn't dare to look directly at Bai Yan.

The change of identity and name always takes a little time to adapt before experiencing the actual relationship.

It's just two or three days.

Whether it was Bai Yan or Bai Junzhu, they obviously didn't get used to it.

However, the Xue family saw this, so he turned his head to look at Bai Yingxue, who was seven points similar to Bai Junzhu and was equally moving.

"Yingxue, you go with you!"

Xue commanded.

When Bai Yingxue heard this, her little head nodded hurriedly.

Then he turned his head, and the two little eyes looked at the eldest sister, and then at Bai Yan, who had competed with him at the beginning and knew that she and the eldest sister were in control, or the eldest brother-in-law in the future.

Bai Yingxue didn't know how to address Bai Yan for a while, so she could only touch the eldest sister's little hand and shouted in a low voice.

"Please!"

After Bai Yingxue finished speaking, she pursed her lips and hurriedly pulled her eldest sister to walk in front with her.

At this moment, Bai Yingxue also felt her heart pounding, and she didn't know how to get along with this 'brother-in-law' in the future.
