"Forget it, let's stop talking about these things." Bai Gui wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Fortunately, my little young master is angry, since he officially took over part of the family's business a year ago, he has taken care of the family business in an orderly manner, and the young master and the young lady will definitely be very pleased in the spirit of heaven." Let's continue to eat, I wonder if this dish is suitable for the mouths of the two gentlemen? ”

Seeing that the two of them were busy nodding and praising each other, Bai Gui was also very happy, "It would be great to be able to meet the tastes of the two gentlemen, Bai didn't know where the two gentlemen lived, and he was worried that the two would not be used to eating before entering the table, so he had to try to take into account the flavors of the Eastern Continent and the Southern Wilderness in the preparation of dishes." ”

"Butler Bai bothered, Heavenly Master, I am a native of the Eastern Continent, and I have to say that this dish is really authentic, and even reminds me of the taste made by the old chef in the sect who often frowned at my master when I was a child." Wu Tianshi said with a grin, but there was a bit of trance in his eyes.

"Uh...... In short, it's good if the Heavenly Master likes it. Bai Gui looked a little crying and laughing, and Bai Xuan, who was red-eyed on the side, couldn't help laughing.

"This kid is quite good at finding a time to liven up the atmosphere." Shi Cheng thought to himself.

Bai Gui saw that Shi Cheng didn't speak, and couldn't help asking: "By the way, seeing that Mr. Shi's official language is so fluent, I think Mr. Shi should be of Western Continental descent who was born in Great Wei, right?" I don't know which state Mr. Shi is from? Is there a sect teacher? I think that the sect that can cultivate a person like Mr. Shi must not be an ordinary sect, Mr. is kind to my Bai family, and we will come to the door in the future to thank Mr. Shi's master. ”

"There is no sect and no sect in the lower realm, and my master also likes to be alone. As for who my master is, if I say his name, you will definitely think that I am joking. Shi Cheng smiled, picked up a piece of chicken, and continued: "As for where my hometown is, to be honest, I am not of Western Continent descent who was born in the Eastern Continent, nor am I a person from the Southern Wilderness. ”

As soon as these words came out, the pavilion suddenly fell silent, and the other three people in the banquet looked at Shi Cheng in more or less surprise. Shi Cheng's official words were correct and round, and they were very smooth, so these three people never thought that Shi Cheng was not from the Eastern Continent.

Bai Gui slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, his eyes were full of vigilance, "Mr. was actually born in the Western Continent?" I don't know if Mr. Luo is from Linyue City? Or is it from the mountains and rivers, the cold desert continent, the West Sea continent or the peninsula continent? Or ...... From the Union Khanate? ”

Shi Cheng swallowed the meat in his mouth, raised his head, and saw the surprised or wary expressions of the three people in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, "Why is Steward Bai so nervous, you don't think I'm a spy sent from Xilu." If I were a spy, would I be stupid enough to report myself? Don't worry, I'm here through the pass, and I still have the customs clearance documents on my body. ”

After saying this, Shi Cheng paused and continued: "I said that I don't know my hometown, that's not a lie, since I can remember, I have been practicing in the mountains with Master. All I know is that my father was killed by the Lu tribe, and my master happened to be passing by at that time, so he rescued me and adopted me. But when I grew up, the country I became a naturalized citizen in was the Union Khanate. ”

Bai Gui looked at Shi Cheng quietly for a long time before nodding, but the original respect for Shi Cheng on his face was obviously a lot less. The pavilion was a little embarrassed, Wu Tianshi deliberately wanted to divert the topic and ease the atmosphere, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Fortunately, at this time, a family member hurriedly ran to the pavilion, and after entering the pavilion, the family member leaned into Bai Gui's ear and whispered something, Bai Gui immediately stood up, arched his hand to Shi Cheng and Wu Tianshi, and said, "Two gentlemen, I'm really sorry, Bai has lost his company." There is a letter from outside, my son-in-law may come back an hour earlier in the afternoon, there are still many things to arrange in the house, and I have to hurry up and supervise it. The two gentlemen can continue to eat here, and if there is anything they need to talk to the people. ”

"Uncle Gui, I'm going to help too, I heard that the guests my brother brought back this time seem to be very important." Bai Xuan stood up and said to Bai Gui.

Bai Gui knew that Bai Xuan was a girl's family, her face was relatively thin, and it was impossible for an eldest lady who was still in the boudoir to stay alone with two men, so he nodded, "Then Miss, come with me." ”

Bai Xuan walked to Bai Gui's side, glanced at Wu Tianshi reluctantly, blessed Shi and Wu, and wanted to leave with Bai Gui.

"Wait a minute, Butler White." The person who spoke was Shi Cheng, "Butler Bai, please don't forget Shi's previous request, if your prince is free tonight, I don't know if you can appreciate the light and talk about it in the next step." ”

"What is Mr. Shi looking for my brother?" Bai Xuan asked with some confusion.

"It's just a private matter." Shi Cheng replied, "This matter has been reported by Steward Lao Bai." ”

"That's natural, Mr. Shi, please rest assured, Bai will definitely bring the words to my son-in-law in time, if my son-in-law agrees, Bai will immediately send someone to inform Mr." After speaking, Bai Gui left in a hurry with Bai Xuan.

In a moment, the luncheon, which was still a staggered meal, suddenly became deserted, leaving only Shi Cheng and Wu Tianshi staring at each other. Shi Cheng didn't want to stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Wu Tianshi and left alone.

Time flies quickly, the sun sets, the sun is sinking in the west, and the clouds in the sky are burning one after another, setting off this desert lonely city. There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, but the front of the White House, which has been closed for many days, is lively.

The gate of the Bai family opened, and two rows of family members stood solemnly on both sides of the main gate, respectfully looking at a white-clothed man who walked in the door, the boy was slightly thin and had a handsome face, although he was not as handsome as Wu Tianshi, but he was also dignified and talented. It turned out to be the eldest son of the Bai family, the number one talent in Redwood City, Bai Qingming is back.

"Brother! You're finally back. Bai Xuan hurriedly ran to the door, smiling like a flower.

Bai Xuan has lost her parents since she was a child, her eldest brother is like a father, and many times it is her brother Bai Qingming who takes care of her, and the relationship between the brother and sister is also very deep.

Bai Qingming looked at his sister who was coquettish to him in front of him, touched Bai Xuan's little head dotingly, and said with a smile: "Xuan'er is a big girl, why is she still like a child in front of my brother?" Have you done all the homework assigned by the female gentleman recently, have you caused trouble for your uncle? The weather is cold during this time, why are you still wearing so thin? ”

"Brother, you are really, as soon as you come back, you will ask this and that, your uncle is not as good as your brother."

Bai Qingming looked at his sister and smiled without saying a word. At this time, Bai Gui also came over, and when he saw the young master who had not been seen for many days, the old housekeeper was also extremely happy, and hurriedly said: "Young master, you are finally back, is this journey safe?" ”

"I've been away from home for a long time, and things at home have been hard for my uncle. I already know about the recent events at home from the letter, I wonder if grandpa is okay now? ”

"The master is all right now, the young master can rest assured. As for other things, now that you're back, young master, we have the backbone. ”

Bai Qingming nodded and said, "Grandpa is fine, I'll go and see him." The guest I invited had some personal chores in the city, and he would arrive later, and the person who had arranged to greet him at the door would continue to wait here. ”

"Okay young master, our dinner here is almost ready."

However, before Bai Gui's words fell, he saw Bai Tao suddenly running over in a hurry.

"Butler, butler, no, no, no!"

Bai Gui turned to look at his panicked cronies, and wanted to be angry: "What kind of system is it that is panicked!" Didn't you see the young master come back! ”

When Bai Tao saw Bai Qingming, he immediately bowed his head and apologized in a panic: "The little one collided with the young master, please forgive the young master, please forgive the young master." ”

"Okay, okay, what's going on to make you panic like this." Bai Qingming asked a little nervously.

"That's right, just now I went to the back kitchen and was about to urge my subordinates to put the desserts I recently bought from Da Wei on the plate, but suddenly found that the desserts in the back kitchen warehouse were stolen by someone who didn't know who stole most of them. Now the dessert of the dinner party is gone. Bai Tao said with a sad face.

"What!" Bai Gui was furious, "That was specially bought from Dawei in order to entertain the distinguished guests who came to the door this time, and the price of these desserts is more expensive than the ingredients for this dinner!" I've told you to take good care of it, look at what you've done! ”

"There's no way about the little ones, because of the things at home recently, a lot of people have either resigned or quietly run away, and the staff in the nursing home is really not enough. As you know, two days ago something was stolen from the courtyard on the west side of the house. ”

"Needless to say," it was Bai Qingming who spoke, he watched Bai Gui's face become more and more gloomy, and hurriedly came out to make a round, "Uncle Gui, don't be angry." Bai Tao, you will go to the official mansion tomorrow to say hello, and ask the brothers on duty to take care of the vicinity of Baifu during the night patrol. In addition, the people who patrol the house at night also keep their eyes bright, especially around the storeroom, where they are all important things in the house, and they cannot be missed. The current dessert matter, Bai Tao, you hurry up and send someone to buy some emergency from the city first, and the banquet is more about the heart. ”

Bai Tao was like being amnestied, and hurriedly got up and said, "Please rest assured, young master and housekeeper, I will arrange it." After speaking, Bai Tao left in a hurry.

"Xuan'er, you go back to your room to rest first, don't forget to add more clothes when it's cold, I have some important things to discuss with your uncle, I'll go to grandpa to have a look later."

After seeing his sister nodding, Bai Qingming turned around and walked towards the small building where the head of the Bai family lived with Bai Gui, who was still angry.
