Gu Tingye, alias Bai Ye, came to Yangzhou from Bianjing with the subordinate team of Zhongqin Bofu because he received a letter from his maternal grandfather, Mrs. Bai, who was ill.

Old lady Bai knew that time was running out, and in the letter she explained that she would pass on all the family property to Gu Tingye, hoping that he would return quickly, so that the family property would not fall into the hands of others.

This other person refers to the relatives of the Bai family, such as the second and third rooms.

When Gu Tingye received the letter, he hurriedly set off for Yangzhou, and it happened that Zhongqinbofu was going to Yangzhou to be hired, so Gu Tingye took the tailwind boat of the Yuan family.

When the ship was still three days away from Yangzhou, Gu Tingye received the news that his grandfather had already sailed west.

Gu Tingye was heartbroken when he heard the news of his grandfather's funeral, but Gu Tingye was Gu Tingye in the end, and while grieving, he was still able to calmly analyze the situation.

Gu Tingye understands that Old Man Bai is dead, and he is not familiar with life in Yangzhou, if he rushes to the Bai family, he will only fall into the trap of the enemy, not only will he not be able to get the inheritance, but he may also suffer accidents.

He needs to wait for a suitable moment.

This time is three days later, the day of Old Man Bai's funeral.

Before that, Gu Tingye needed to remain incognito, try not to attract the attention of the Bai family, and ensure his personal safety.

Let me ask, at this time in Yangzhou City, is there a safer place than the grand banquet where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather?

Therefore, after Gu Tingye arrived in Yangzhou, he did not rush to separate from the Yuan family and his party, but came to the Sheng family with them in the name of watching the excitement, mixed among the guests, and spent time with the pot throwing play.

Unexpectedly, on this pitching field, I met Wei Chen and Sheng Changfeng, two wonderful people.

Sheng Changfeng was extremely well-behaved in front of Wei Chen, but his eyes still glanced at the wood in Gu Tingye's hand from time to time, obviously not very convinced by Gu Tingye in his heart.

Seeing this, Gu Tingye couldn't help but sigh, and the gloom in his heart for days had dissipated a lot, and suddenly, he realized one thing again.

There were so many guests on the pitching field, why did Sheng Changfeng name him and challenge him?

Gu Tingye glanced at Tuomu in his hand, and if he realized, it must be because the pot throwing skills he had shown on the field before were too superb, which attracted the attention of others, and Sheng Changfeng was just one of them.

At the same time, he was a little lucky, fortunately he didn't really gamble with Sheng Changfeng, otherwise if he was in the limelight, he would definitely attract the attention of the Bai family.

"It seems that it may not be a good thing to throw the pot too well, I just want to kill time and have fun, or I almost got into trouble!"

As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Gu Tingye's mouth couldn't help but smile bitterly, he no longer had the interest in throwing pots, shook his head, and casually threw Mu Yu on the eucalyptus.

Gu Tingye arched his hand towards Wei Chen: "Brother Wei, Gu has other important things to do, so let's go first." ”

Gu Tingye looked at Wei Chen with a little gratitude in his eyes, after all, Wei Chen stopped him from gambling with Sheng Changfeng, and it could be regarded as indirectly helping him.

When Wei Chen heard that Gu Tingye was leaving, he was slightly stunned, and then returned the salute with a smile: "Brother Bai, please." ”

Although Wei Chen had a good impression of the cheerful and atmospheric Gu Tingye, he did not keep him.

At this time, Gu Tingye was a thorn in the side of the Bai family, and the Bai family might send someone to assassinate him at any time.

Gu Tingye's martial arts are strong, and he can turn evil into good fortune, Wei Chen doesn't have this kind of ability, he is mixed with Gu Tingye, in case he suffers from the pond fish, Wei Chen has nowhere to reason with his reasoning.

Therefore, it is better to keep a little distance from Gu Tingye for the time being, and get familiar with each other today, and there will be opportunities for deep friendship in the future.

After Gu Tingye left, only Wei Chen and Sheng Changfeng were left staring at each other.

Wei Chen drove Sheng Changfeng to his second brother's study to practice calligraphy, while he stayed in the pot throwing field, watched others throw pots for a while, and felt a little bored, so he turned around and went to Qinyun Courtyard.

At the gate of Qinyun Courtyard, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao, who were guarding the door, saw that Wei Chen was coming, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

When he walked to the edge of a secluded rockery, Wei Chen suddenly smelled a puff of fireworks, he stopped, focused his ears, and sure enough, he heard the crackling sound of burning grass and trees.

Wei Chen looked around, and then saw a wisp of green smoke rising from behind the rockery, and he could faintly smell the fragrance of grilled fish.

Yo, make a suona against the wind!

Today's Qinyun Academy, under the management of Bai Zhi, although the treatment is extremely generous, but the rules are also very strict, and the subordinates make mistakes, the first time they are disciplined, and the second time they have to hit the board.

Therefore, Wei Chen couldn't help but admire this little sister who secretly grilled fish in the yard in broad daylight.

He crept over and quietly walked around the rockery, but forgot to pay attention to his feet, and stepped on a dead branch carelessly.

"Smack!"

The sound of the dead branch breaking immediately alarmed the people inside, and only an exclamation of "ah" was heard, but it was two immature female voices.

Wei Chen walked over quickly, and sure enough, he saw two familiar little faces.

One had the timidity of being caught on his face, his eyes were full of mist, and his small mouth was tightly pursed, obviously frightened.

The other was distressed when he looked at the grilled fish that fell into the fire, and after the rescue was fruitless, he turned his head and glared at Wei Chen with a pair of big watery eyes.

It's Xiao Tao and Minglan.

The front yard was full of joy and excitement, but the two little ones hid in the courtyard and played picnic barbecue by themselves.

Wei Chen sighed and said, "Cousin, you can be naughty yourself, and you broke the little peach, do you want me to tell my aunt and lock you in the house and not come out?" ”

Hearing that Wei Chen was going to sue, Minglan had finally accumulated most of the momentum in an instant.

She looked back at the two grilled fish in the fire that had been burned to black, and glared at Wei Chen fiercely.

But after grinding for a while, he still made up his mind, took down the only grilled fish left on the shelf, and reluctantly handed it to Wei Chen: "Oh, let's eat this for you, don't go to sue after eating!" ”

"Woo woo~~"

Seeing that most of the hard work of the morning had come to naught, and only a pitiful little was left, and she had to give it to others, Xiao Tao finally shed sad tears.

"It's okay, it's just a fish, let's just bake it again." Minglan hurriedly went up to comfort her.

Wei Chen looked at this scene, and suddenly felt that he was simply guilty of a great crime, and he was ashamed of himself.

Wei Chen hurriedly tore off a piece of white tender meat from the fragrant grilled fish and sent it to Xiao Tao's mouth.

Xiao Tao subconsciously opened her mouth and held it, feeling the hot delicacy in her mouth, and while continuing to cry, she couldn't help but say that it was delicious.

"It's delicious, let's stop crying if it's delicious."

Minglan learned from the appearance of an adult and comforted softly on the side, and stretched out her hand to wipe Xiao Tao's tears, but she wiped several black lines on Xiao Tao's face, like a little cat.

Wei Chen was afraid that he would make Xiao Tao cry again, but he didn't see it, but Minglan who had done something bad cheered herself, and smeared herself into a little flower cat with her backhand, and even Xiao Tao smirked at this time.

The grilled fish is not big, and the two small ones Xiao Tao and Ming Lan ate it clean after a while.

Seeing Minglan sticking out her little tongue and looking unsatisfied, Wei Chen felt that he should compensate them a little.

"This time I caused you to roast the fish, so I will invite you to have a big meal as reparations, say, what do you want to eat?"
