I didn't go to bed until the fourth watch last night, and it was noon when Xue Bai got up.

Talking to Du Wulang woke up the slave in the ear room, and her face was very ugly when she came out, so scared that Du Wulang couldn't speak.

"I, my grandfather wants to see Xue Bai, I'll take him over, you can sleep for a while."

"What does Du Youlin want to say, even the people of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion can't listen to it?" The slave asked, "If I have to avoid even this matter, what will the right minister send me to do?" ”

Du Wulang only felt that she was so unreasonable, she was a person on the right, and she couldn't ask to listen to someone talk so openly.

But he didn't dare to say more, and led them to the study with a bitter face.

When I passed through the Sanjin Courtyard and passed by the front hall, I saw Lu Fengniang sitting there talking with the Du family sisters.

Lu Fengniang held the account book in her hand and sighed.

Xue Bai only glanced at it, and knew what she was worried about.

Now that Du Youlin has lost his official position and has lost his income, the usual expenses of this Du house are large, and it is quite difficult to deal with a case up and down.

Lu Fengniang didn't even have to speak, the sadness on her face could make people feel a kind of tiredness just by looking at it.

"Alas, mother."

When Du Wulang saw her, he even sighed first.

"How can you persuade your grandfather." Lu Fengniang opened her mouth and said: "Now is not the time to sell the high price, since the uncle has come over, Lang Jun should ask him to help intercede and reinstate." ”

"Me? I persuade Grandpa? Du Wulang wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Mother, I'll take Xue Bai to see Grandpa." ”

"Go ahead."

Lu Fengniang looked at Xue Bai, smiled gently, looked at the Kyauknu behind him, and subconsciously stood up, looking a little respectful.

She respects the power of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

But I couldn't help muttering in my heart, and the right minister didn't arrange a way for the Du family, which made people want to cling to it but didn't know how to cling.

However, the Du family sisters still sat still, and Du Yan glanced at Kyauknu lightly, and did not even hide the disgust in her eyes.

~~

The study is still the most elegant place in the Du Mansion.

After Du Youlin woke up, his body was still weak and he couldn't bear to be disturbed, so his family and subordinates didn't dare to bother him with mundane things.

Xue Bai bypassed the small bamboo garden, climbed the stairs, and smelled a faint sandalwood fragrance outside the door, which made people's hearts calm.

"Grandpa." Du Wulang stepped forward and knocked on the door and said, "Xue Bai has arrived." ”

"Come in."

Xue Bai is now familiar with most of the people in Du Zhai, and he is Hu Sanniang in the back kitchen, and he can also chat with him on the topic of steamed dishes.

Counting up, among the Du Mansion, he is the least familiar with Du Youlin, the head of the family.

When I entered the study at this time, I saw that Du Youlin had lost some weight, and he was leaning on the couch, holding a scroll, which was a little more free and easy than sitting upright before.

"Here, the old man is injured, and it is inconvenient to greet him, so don't be surprised."

Du Youlin didn't wait for Xue Bai to salute, he waved his hand, exchanged a few words of greeting, and said: "You don't have to see outside, you can be friends with Wulang, and call the old man 'uncle'." ”

"Yes, uncle."

"Okay, since I have received your call, the old man will say two words to you." Du Youlin's face sank, and he said: "The lights of the third watch and the fifth watch of the chicken are when the boy is studying." You are a good boy, you don't get up until noon, what kind of system do you become? ”

Xue Bai didn't explain, and honestly suffered.

Du Youlin inevitably wanted to scold him a few words, although he didn't explicitly say "It's not appropriate for you to defect to the right minister", which not only quoted Yan Zhenqing's poem, but also scolded him for running all night for the right minister and not getting out of bed during the day...... Anyway, it's scolded.

But no matter what, Li Linfu is still the prime minister of today's sage, and his name is justified, as long as Du Youlin does not rebel, he still has to admit it in the end, which is nothing more than knocking down the younger generations and maintaining a little decency.

Xue Bai was not disgusted by his official authority at this level, but felt a little kind and smiled politely.

"Ahem."

Du Youlin coughed dryly twice and said, "The old man has something to talk to Xue Bai." ”

Du Wulang wanted to go down, turned his head to look, and saw that the Kyauknu pestle was motionless there, and couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to look at Du Youlin again, he saw that Grandpa had put down the scroll in his hand as if he was nothing, got up and paced, and talked deeply.

Otherwise, can you offend the people of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?

Besides, the five-grade official and a maidservant are-for-tat, and they are not in a proper manner.

"Xue Bai, you suffered misfortune at a young age, lost your memory, and lived abroad, the old man deeply regretted it." Du Youlin said slowly: "For this reason, the old man asked someone to inquire, or he may have found your family background." ”

"Ahh

Du Wulang was greatly surprised, and couldn't help but exclaim, turning his head to look at Xue Bai, he had a lot to say.

"You're going to find a home?!"

But when his eyes fell, he saw Xue Bai's face calm, and even a little unexpected.

Du Wulang then looked at Du Youlin.

"Grandpa is so powerful, he found a family background for Xue Bai without making a sound."

Du Youlin paced two steps, Yun Danfeng waved his hand lightly, and said, "Jingzhao Du Clan, there is a little connection after all." ”

He waited for a while, but didn't see Xue Bai reacting, turned his head to look at Xue Bai, and his tone gradually became solemn.

"Xue Bai, you are from the Xue clan in Hedong. Your great-ancestor is a courtesy, the word is benevolent, and he is my famous general of the Tang Dynasty; Your grandfather, Xue Shenfu, was once the official and the chief bookkeeper; Your grandfather's name is Xue Ling, and he now lives in Changshoufang...... He really wants to see you, and your mother, who is waiting for you to go back. ”

Xue Bai was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, and did not answer immediately.

Du Youlin's eyes were eager, and he stepped forward and patted Xue Bai on the shoulder.

"Let's meet, right? Maybe you can think of something. ”

"Okay." Xue Bai responded: "It's good to see it." ”

Du Youlin was quite happy, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he instructed Du Wulang: "Go and call Quan Rui to bring someone over." ”

After a while, Quan Rui brought an old servant, who was the steward of Xue Ling's family, named Xue Gengbo.

Xue Gengbo was wearing an old jacket, hunched over, and leaned over when he walked, as if he was rushing forward slowly.

When he crossed the threshold, he almost stumbled to the ground, which made people tremble, but he held on to the door frame and stabilized, in short, Liao Liao's two movements can make people feel excited.

"Rokuro? It's really Rokuro. Xue Gengbo's eyes were not good, and after entering the study, he first looked around with difficulty, but he didn't recognize the wrong person, so he went directly to Xue Bai and called enthusiastically: "The old slave has finally found Liulang!" ”

Xue Bai stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "Slow down, can you be sure that I am your Liulang?" ”

Xue Gengbo saw that this young man Lang Jun looked determined, but he became puzzled, subconsciously glanced at Du Wulang, stabilized his mind, and then nodded his head and said to Xue Bai: "I didn't admit my mistake, it's Liulang in person!" ”

"It's a pity I can't remember."

"The old slave is old, and he is confused, but Rokuro is Rokuro, and it won't be wrong." Xue Gengbo swayed, looked excited, and said: "That year, Ah Lang went from Fanyang to Chang'an, and when he passed through Weinan, Liulang was lost...... Now I've found it! ”

Xue Bai couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked, "At what age did Liulang get lost?" ”

"Rokuro, you don't remember?" Xue Gengbo was surprised: "You were lost at the age of five." ”

"Then can the old man recognize me as Rokuro?"

"When you hear the name, don't you know it?" Xue Gengbo leaned over, could pat his knee with a single pat, and said, "There is a birthmark on the back of Liulang's neck, right?" ”

Xue Bai turned his back, squatted down, glanced at him, and said, "There should be a burn, I can't see it, can my uncle take a look?" ”

"Hey, such a beautiful birthmark, burn it off." Xue Gengbo lamented and said: "The dealer who sells his lover a little, he should be hanged, hanged!" ”

As he spoke, he became more and more bitter, and after howling twice, he burst into tears.

"Rokuro, you've suffered all these years!"

Seeing the trembling old man crying, Du Wulang's nose was sore, he turned his back, wiped his eyes, and it took a while to clean up his emotions, and when he raised his eyes again, he caught a glimpse of the young slave with his arms around him, his willow eyebrows upside down, and his face full of vigilance and suspicion.

"Are you not moved?" Du Wulang muttered quietly, and he didn't know who he was talking to.

Xue Bai was calm and said in a rather polite tone: "Don't be excited, I don't know if I'm the Liulang from my father-in-law." ”

"How could it not be?" Xue Gengbo was stunned, and said with an affirmative attitude: "You are Liulang." ”

"Then the old man can tell me more about the details of the Xue family's lost children?"

"This ...... The old slave knew little, and when he saw Ah Lang, Ah Lang and Rokuro said. ”

Xue Gengbo collected the old tears, and he wanted to lead Xue Bai to Xue's house.

"It's fine."

Du Wulang said, "Grandpa, I'll go too, right?" ”

Du Youlin stroked his long beard, smiled slightly, and waved his hand calmly and chicly.

"Go ahead."

Xue Bai heard that the people from the Jingzhao Du clan had come today, and he thought that the Jingzhao Du clan would take the lead in finding relatives for himself, but he didn't see anyone at this time, so he must have left.

The reason is reasonable, after all, he is still sleeping in the morning.

But after thinking about it, since the other party didn't wake him up, it can be seen that the main purpose of this trip is to have a detailed discussion with Du Youlin.

He could probably guess the content of the conversation.

~~

Xue Gengbo looked like he was about to fall down at any time, but he could still ride a donkey, and after a stumble, he turned over on the donkey, and his movements even revealed a bit of the vigor of his youth.

Xue Bai saw it and asked, "My uncle has ever been in the army?" ”

"Not really." Xue Gengbo said with a smile: "My grandfather once went to the battlefield with the old general. ”

"Oh, it's Old General Xue of the Three Arrows Dingtian Mountain?"

"Wait for the old slave to talk to Rokuro slowly in the future......"

The Kyauknu took the reins and followed Xue Bai, looking at this scene, his face was so solemn that he seemed to be dripping water.

When I went out of the side door, I saw the Tian brothers of the right Xiaowei coming from North Street to fight horses, nibbling on Hu Biscuits in their mouths, looking happy.

She beckoned.

"Girl." Tian Shenyu immediately stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Where are you going to investigate the case today?" ”

"Check? Do you think he still has the heart to do things for the right minister? "I don't know what the use of raising you is, you go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to report to the steward, only to say that the Jingzhao Du clan looked for relatives for Xue Bai, and found the descendants of the second house of the Pingyang County Gong of the Xue clan in Hedong." ”

Tian Shenyu listened to such a long string of words, and when he was bitter, he scratched his head and said, "Girl, say it again?" ”

When he looked at it, he found that the man's head was so dirty that it was oozing oil, and he leaned back in disgust.

Tian Shengong hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "I have written down what I want to pass on, and I will go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"Hmm." Kyauknu nodded, and when he saw that the two brothers had turned around and were about to leave, he scolded: "Fool, leave one, remember why the right minister brought you along?!" ”

"Take the thief." Tian Shenyu answered, suddenly understood something, and hurriedly leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Have a clue?" Aren't those traitors who tricked Xue Langjun into going and wanted to do it? ”

"Fuck off."

The young slave frowned and rode his horse to follow Xue Bai.

Although she hasn't seen the evidence yet, she knows that Donggong made a move and secretly wanted to guard against the right phase.
