"Tianbao has been in the past five years, and it is a mystery...... Is there Yang Guifei? ”

"Hey, you don't even remember your life experience, but you remember it clearly, concubine?"

"Is there an Lushan?"

"I seem to have heard my eldest brother-in-law say, remember that it was a certain festival envoy? came to Beijing to ask to be a concubine to raise a child, and there were many interesting anecdotes. ”

“……”

Xue Bai woke up from the couch in the ear room, still recalling last night's conversation in his mind.

Many things should have been prepared in advance, but even my body is still a little weak.

Shaking his head, he got up and put on the jacket that he had placed next to the bed, which was filled with cotton wool and was quite warm.

I have lived in Du Mansion for three days, two meals a day, not to mention the taste, at least the soup cakes or flax cakes are all-you-can-eat, and I also know a lot of customs.

Entering the wing room and bypassing the screen, Du Wulang was still snoring.

Xue Bai pushed him and said, "Get up, there is a Taoist priest who will come to exorcise evil spirits for you today." ”

"Sleep again." After Du Wulang turned over, he muttered, "It's time to get up and give Duan Yan the bridge today." ”

"Duqiao?"

"Nai He Bridge, drink Meng Po soup, cross Nai He Bridge, and reincarnate as a good family in the next life."

Du Wulang said, feeling a lot better and propping himself up.

Xue Bai was slightly stunned, and said to himself: "Meng Po soup." ”

"yes, or you'll be a lonely ghost." Du Wulang picked up a pair of fox fur and draped it, buttoned it carelessly, and said, "But if I can still remember the events of my previous life when I am reincarnated, it must be very interesting." ”

"It's really interesting."

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and Xue Bai went over and opened the door.

It was Qinglan again, her hair combed into a bun, tied with a hair tie, and a belt around her waist that raised the green and white striped Saima skirt to make it easier to walk...... Dressed up like a maid in the Tang Dynasty.

Well, they are the maidservants of the Tang Dynasty.

"Is Gorou up? The real person has arrived. ”

"Up."

Qinglan walked to the house, frowned when she saw Du Wulang's messy appearance, and blamed Xue Baidao: "You don't put Wulang on his clothes well." ”

She stepped forward to tie Du Goro's clothes.

"I'll do it myself." Du Wulang panicked instead, took two steps back, and didn't know where to put his hand, "I'll wear it myself, you're busy with you, I'll go over right away." ”

"Then Gorou will go to the second court to wash in a while." Qing Lan saluted, beckoned Xue Bai again, and said, "To set up an altar, you need someone to move things, you go with me first." ”

"Okay."

As soon as she came in, she arranged both of them in the house, and she had the style of a maid in the house.

Walking through the verandah with Xue Bai, she didn't forget to beat him twice.

"I know you're probably from a wealthy background, and you're not used to doing this. But compared to being an official slave, it is a great blessing to be able to work in the Du family, and you should be dedicated. ”

"Yes, it should be."

"Gorou, when you're a playmate." Qing Lanwan smiled, then took a serious tone and reminded: "But you must not lose the consciousness of your subordinates. ”

She felt that her words were soft and strict, and she could be called powerful.

Xue Bai still responded with a "yes", and his demeanor was normal.

Qinglan felt a little unable to control this little guy, and thought in a trance that it was Ah Lang, who was a high-ranking official of the fifth grade, who was walking beside her.

The two walked through the back door, and she stopped and walked behind, adjusting a little, reminding herself to maintain the demeanor of a big maid.

~~

The second court has already set up an altar, and a servant is following a Taoist boy to place the incense case.

There are many small bells hanging and making a crisp sound.

There is an old Taoist with gray hair standing proudly in the court, holding a dust whisk in his hand, carrying a peach wood sword, and the appearance of a fairy wind and bones.

Seeing Xue Bai and Qinglan coming, Lao Dao smiled slightly and stepped forward to meet him.

"The poor way is very polite, when I see it today, Du Wulang is really natural and beautiful, and he will not be idle in the future."

At the end of the words, Lao Dao waved the dust in his hand lightly, and his tone was firm.

Qing Lan was already on her waist with her hands and was about to salute, she was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and said, "The Taoist master misunderstood, Gorou hasn't come over yet, this is ......"

She glanced at Xue Bai and felt that saying that this was a scholar now seemed to embarrass Fang Daxu.

At this time, there was a sudden "clang" in the direction of the study.

Qinglan then nudged Xue Bai and said, "You go and see if there are any broken objects, sprinkle and sweep them clean." ”

"Okay."

Xue Bai bowed to Fang Daxu, who was still stroking his beard to hide his embarrassment, turned around and walked in the direction of the study.

Bypassing the small bamboo garden and climbing the stairs, the sound of quarrels can already be heard.

"If it weren't for you, how could Gorou suffer such a great misfortune?!"

"It was Gorou who spoke falsely, but fortunately, the son-in-law asked a friend to ask him, and Yoshidaro put Gorou back ......"

"Shut up, it's just a strong word, Hugh will mention your fox friends again!"

"The father-in-law is so angry, but what did the son-in-law do wrong? The son-in-law befriended a handsome man, isn't it for the good of the Du family? ! ”

There was another loud "bang".

The door of the study was not closed, Xue Bai stepped forward, and saw Du Youlin angrily pushing down a low table.

"For the good of the Du family? Ahem, can you say that? You are a soldier, how much do you think? You used your dowry to send extravagant things to those celebrities, brought disaster to the Du family, and dared to swear. ”

"The father-in-law is confused, An doesn't know how to give up to get it, now that they are enveloped, they will support the prince in the future......"

"Shut up! Shut up! ”

Du Youlin was so angry that he almost fainted, and was supported by Lu Fengniang and Quan Rui, one left and one right, touching his forehead with his hand, panting.

Standing opposite them was a handsome young man, wearing a brocade fur, with a dark blue soft curtain on his head, and holding a folding fan in this cold winter wax moon, hanging a jade fan pendant, and his appearance looked really good.

Presumably this is the eldest son-in-law of the Du family, Liu Tao.

Although Xue Bai had only been at Du's house for three days, he had often heard the name of this Liu Lang's son-in-law.

In Du Wulang's mouth, the eldest brother-in-law is crazy by nature, enthusiastic and informal, so he has a wide range of friends; In the mouths of the rest of the Du family, Liu Tao is arrogant and rude, flattering outsiders and indifferent to his family, and has a low eye for doing things, except for a pair of skins, he is simply useless.

At this time, Liu Tao turned a blind eye to Du Youlin's angry state, and said to himself: "It is precisely because the prince has no power in the court that he will be bullied. ”

"I'll shut you up! Hugh mentions the prince again! ”

Du Youlin's face turned red, and he wanted to break free and go to the willows.

"What can't you mention? The father-in-law will be the ruler of the country in the future, and he will be too timid and cowardly......"

Xue Bai suddenly realized at this time, no wonder he heard Du Wulang mention the "second sister" in awe these days, it turned out that the second lady of the Du family was actually married to the prince of the dynasty.

I saw Du Youlin's eyes glaring, and he really fainted.

"Alang!"

Over there, Liu Tao said, "I am the prince's brother-in-law", and suddenly seeing this situation, his face finally changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"You go away!" Lu Fengniang screamed and was in a hurry.

The steward Quan Rui hurriedly shouted, "Quick, please come to the doctor." ”

The maid Caiyun hurriedly ran out and bumped into Xue Bai.

Xue Bai rushed forward to help Du Youlin, with a calm expression.

"Let him lie on his side, untie his collar, and keep his breathing open."

"Alang! Alang! ”

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Du Youlin to wake up, and the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to raise his hand to Liu Tao with difficulty, smack his lips, and repeat a word.

"And the ...... And ...... away"

Xue Bai looked at Liu Tao, only to see that his eyelids had obviously jumped a few times, and his face was full of disbelief.

Looking back, I can see a calligraphy hanging on the wall of this study, with eight upright regular characters.

"Be cautious in your words and deeds, as if walking on thin ice."

~~

At noon on this day, the old Taoist priest in the courtyard was still shaking the soul bell in his hand, his mouth was buzzing, and he was chanting words.

"Please, the Nine Heavens Commander Guardian Mansion True Monarch will come and collect the shock......"

Liu Tao walked past the altar in despair, and when he bypassed the wall photo, the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground and he was still unconscious.

~~

It's late in the evening.

The ritual was finally done, and Lu Fengniang prayed for several words of "no disaster and no disease" for the incense case before instructing people to clean it up, and then asked the old Taoist chief to eat.

Xue Bai helped pack up all kinds of things and went to the front yard with the servants to eat.

Then someone asked him, "Have you seen that?" Ah Lang is really determined to let the eldest lady reconcile this time? ”

Xue Bai shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"But when I had lunch, Quan Fu said that you were also in the study at that time."

"I didn't understand."

The others were muttering about the quarrel in the morning, but Xue Bai never talked about it, focusing on gnawing on the hemp cake.

"Xue Bai."

Du Wulang put his hands behind his back, leaned out half of his body at the outer door, and said, "Come here." ”

The two of them then walked to the verandah and sat down by the railing.

"You eat."

Du Wulang glanced around, took out a chicken leg from his back, and took out an egg from his sleeve.

This is not the first time, Xue Bai calmly took it and ate it.

First of all, he doesn't feel ashamed of working part-time, and secondly, he thinks that it is human nature to help each other. He has a kind of confidence that he will be able to repay sooner or later if he is helped, so he is calm and generous, without intimidation.

"After standing all day, Fang Zhenren took the talisman and shook it in front of my eyes, so tired." Du Wulang stretched and said, "What about you?" ”

"Sweep the floor, clean up." Xue Bai said: "I secretly read your books when I was sorting out the bookshelves in the afternoon. ”

"The Four Books and the Five Classics are very beautiful."

"It's for use, not for fun."

"You're really different from ordinary people." Du Wulang couldn't help but sigh and asked, "My grandfather and eldest brother-in-law quarreled again?" Do you really want to reconcile? ”

Xue Bai asked rhetorically: "Isn't it good to be reconciled?" How does Liu Lang's son-in-law treat your eldest sister on weekdays? ”

"I don't know." Du Wulang thought about it, and finally scratched his head and sighed: "I just think that my eldest brother-in-law treats me very warmly." Like I didn't want to go to Pingkangfang, but ...... Alas! ”

"You want to repay his enthusiasm and do something you don't want to do?"

Du Wulang nodded, and thought of the dead Duan Yan again.

"How old is your eldest sister?"

Du Wulang counted his fingers and counted silently, and said, "Bingyin...... Twenty and six, what's wrong? ”

"It's not difficult to remarry."

Xue Baifang thought for a moment that it would be a good way out if he could become the prince's brother-in-law, but now the age difference is too much.

It's a pity.

"Remarry?" Du Wulang asked, "You don't like the eldest brother-in-law either?" ”

"There's one thing I've always thought was strange, did Liu Lang's son-in-law know Ji Dalang?"

"yes, they can talk."

Xue Bai asked: "Then Liu Lang's son-in-law took you to Pingkangfang, met Ji Dalang, and Ji Dalang made trouble for you, is this all a coincidence?" ”

Suddenly, shouting came from the front yard.

"This is the private residence of the imperial court!"

"Get out of here!"

The two turned their heads to see a team of officials kicking into the second court from the front yard like wolves, and retreating from the porter who followed behind, all of them fierce.

The first person was arrogant and shouted: "Jingzhao Mansion takes people!" Which is Du Youlin? ”

"Slow down." Quan Rui hurried out and politely shouted, "Please come to the hall to watch tea, okay?" ”

"Let Du Youlin come out!"

The official looked at the sky coldly and pulled Quan Rui's hand away.

A few pieces of silver fell to the ground.

"What's the noise?"

With this sentence, Du Youlin walked out of the study on the west side, with one hand behind his back, and a book in the other, and asked, "But Jingzhao Mansion is looking for an old man?" ”

"You are Du Youlin? Take! ”

A group of officials rushed straight up and held Du Youlin.

In the confusion, the scroll fell to the ground.

"Let go! Insulting Sven ...... Do you know who the old man is?! ”

Quan Rui didn't expect that they would dare to take the imperial court's officials, so they hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

"Don't make times, don't make times, can you know? The second lady of the Du family is the prince of the dynasty! ”

"It's the prince and father-in-law!"

Hearing only the sound of "Qiang", the official drew his knife and suppressed Du Youlin, who was still struggling.

"Listen to it, Du Youlin 'falsely pretended to be a plot, handed over the East Palace, and reprimanded the public opinion', and was arrested and interrogated by Jingzhao Mansion, and the rest of the people were temporarily detained in the house and were not allowed to leave without permission!"

As soon as they heard about this accusation, everyone was stunned.

Lu Fengniang rushed out of the hall, and when she saw this situation, she was so shocked that she sat down directly on the ground.

Du Youlin was like a mourner, his lips trembled, and he didn't dare to move again.

Jeon Seo's face turned pale and his eyes were full of distraction.

This family was originally a noble family, but they didn't do anything today, but they suddenly suffered a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

The big crime is covered, and no one in this mansion can escape.

"Grandpa!"

Seeing that Du Youlin was taken away, Du Wulang subconsciously chased two steps, and his feet were weak and almost fell to the ground.

Someone grabbed him.

When he looked up, he saw Xue Bai's still immature face and calm eyes......
