The sun is shining into the attic, and on the small stove, the water of sencha is boiling.

"Xue Ling's mansion was placed by Xue Rengui when he was a general of the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya, although it was not as good as the later general's mansion, but it was passed to the second room, and it was also the ancestral house. If you can't keep it, you have to be said to be unfilial, whether it is for grandpa or the ancestral house, Xue Bai should come to visit. ”

"Presumably he didn't understand these things yesterday, and he didn't want to work for his false father, and he will come if he understands it today......"

Da Xi Yingying was very patient, frying tea and waiting.

It wasn't long before she got a message.

"Lady, the scoundrel we arranged in the courtyard of the Xue family's house in Changshoufang was driven out by the officials of Chang'an County."

"Why?"

"The ...... has not yet been deed"

"Did Xue Ling show them the IOU of the debt?"

"Yes, but the county lieutenant of Chang'an said that the bitter lord refused to admit that he owed a huge debt overnight, and suspected that we were gambling and cheating, and wanted to investigate the matter."

Da Xi Yingying frowned, and said angrily: "My gambling house is located in Wannian County, what does it have to do with him in Chang'an County?" Have a finger in the pie. ”

She didn't care about that small mansion, it was just strange that it could be solved by just coming over and talking in two sentences, why did Xue Bai make it so complicated?

Soon, someone hurried over and said, "Lady, Xue Bai is here in Daozheng Fang." ”

Da Xi Yingying smiled slightly, and instantly understood.

Show your skills before you talk, and it's just an ordinary trick that she will do too.

"Bring Xue Ling a hard beating, and bring the debt book."

Get ready here, Xue Bai also arrived at the Daozheng Fang.

However, instead of coming to her, he went straight to Fengwei Building.

~~

The lobby was busy, and Qu Shui didn't know where to see Xue Bai and hurriedly greeted him.

"Xue Langjun is here, Wulang is in the back kitchen, the eldest mother is in the account room, and the second mother is in the attic of the backyard."

Xue Bai walked through the busy lobby, hesitated slightly, and went to the account room.

I heard the sound of "crackling" outside the door, pushed open the hidden door and went in, only to see a beautiful woman sitting at the table, picking up two pieces of gold cakes and weighing them, turning the abacus and taking notes.

"What?" Du Cheng didn't raise her head, and asked lightly.

Xue Bai found out for the first time that she was quite imposing when she was outside.

Du Cheng waited for a moment without answering, and when she looked up and saw that it was him, she hurriedly lowered her eyes, slightly flustered.

In the past two days, she has been staying with Du Yan at home, and the two sisters have never been alone with Xue Bai, and as soon as Xue Bai approached at this time, she immediately became unnatural.

She didn't even call him, her mouth opened twice, as if to say, "You're here," but her voice was so small that she suddenly couldn't speak.

"I'll come and have a look." Xue Bai stepped forward and glanced at the account book, "Last time I said that there was a bookkeeping method to teach you......"

"Been busy all this time, haven't you?" Du Cheng didn't seem to have the heart to learn.

Seeing that she was so uneasy, Xue Bai's heart moved.

Du Cheng and Du Yan use the same spices, but they are lighter. Xue Bai could smell subtle differences when he looked at them, but he couldn't smell them without looking at people.

When the woman came the night before, he had slept so deeply that it was so dark in the curtains that he did not recognize who it was. He had deliberately pulled the curtain open last night, but when he woke up, it was pulled back on.

The woman gritted her teeth and endured, not daring to make too much noise, as if she didn't want him to know who it was, so he didn't guess anymore and concentrated on enjoying it.

But at this time, looking at Du Cheng's figure and how she felt when she got along, it should be her......

"Are you okay?" Du Cheng asked, unconsciously turning to the side, "If it's okay, let's go find Erniang." ”

"It's okay, you get busy first."

Xue Bai saw that she was estranged, and became puzzled again.

He left the account room and went up to the attic in the backyard.

Standing against the railing, you can see the scenery of several neighboring courtyards.

"Over there is Qingliangzhai, which was originally a dark gambling house used in spring and summer, and I heard that its proprietor plans to build a new house near Qujiang Pond." Du Yan turned out from nowhere, and said leisurely: "Xue Ling just lost his family in Qingliangzhai. ”

"Who is the proprietor, do you know?"

"I don't know yet." Du Yan said: "He probably wants to befriend you, otherwise he should send someone to Fengwei Building to collect debts." ”

"Coming at me?"

Du Yan said: "The most important talent and prestige in the Tang Dynasty officialdom, prestige is the first to discuss filial piety, and the sage attaches great importance to the word 'filial piety', you must save Xue Ling." ”

Xue Bai said: "I am fighting hard to save Xue Ling. ”

"Huh?"

"In the morning, I went to Xue Hui for help; At noon, I went to Chang'an County to report the case and temporarily took back the ancestral home; In the afternoon, I went to Fengwei Building to pay the money. Tomorrow, I will also go to Yang Zhao to borrow money and bring it to the Chang'an County Ya to show my sincerity in repaying the debt and my determination to save Xue Ling. ”

Listening to this, Du Yan couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, already understanding what he meant.

"In this way, who can say that you are not filial? In case this matter reaches the ears of the saint, you can be said to be the greatest filial son in Chang'an City. ”

"Feasible?"

"Naturally, I'll try to get the word out." Du Yan liked his cleverness and praised: "It was a small accident, but it can make you filial piety and famous, and it will be of great benefit to your official career...... I'm just afraid that in case Xue Ling dies. ”

"No, whether the other party collects debts or has ulterior motives, killing him is useless, it will only cause trouble." Xue Bai said: "Let them raise him." ”

"You're such an old fox."

The two of them discussed this, and they felt embarrassed.

She smiled and approached, and there was a fragrance lingering in Xue Bai's nose, and she felt that the atmosphere was a little different.

He remembered that there was one more thing to say, and Yun Qingfeng said lightly: "By the way, I will go to Mrs. Qiu's Mansion tomorrow night for help, and it is also for Xue Ling's business." Maybe you will be absent for two or three days, and you will have to take care of many things......"

Before the words fell, Du Yan pulled him from the railing into the attic.

She tiptoed to her toes, leaned closer, and shut his mouth.

Xue Bai felt abrupt at first, but he instantly understood.

The carved wooden door at the pole was hooked by the boots and closed, and the curtains in the small pavilion shook slightly, and the sound of heavy breathing sounded.

"Is it you at night?"

"Hmmm......"

~~

In the backyard kitchen, the cook picked up a Luoyang Dongguan radish, put it in the basin and rubbed it vigorously, and rubbed it clean with the splashing water.

Then she picked up the basin and splashed it vigorously without reservation, and the water flowed into the ditch.

At the stove, the thatch burns at a point, making a "crackling" sound, and soon the firewood will be burned, and the dry firewood will burn fiercely.

Hu Sanniang washed her hands, rubbed it her lower abdomen, picked up the spatula, and prepared to do a lot of work.

A piece of white greasy white anointment oil melted in the hot iron pot in an instant......

~~

"Erniang."

Qu Shui hurriedly trotted outside the attic, saw that the door was closed, and said: "A guest came to find Xue Langjun, and the original words were to ask if Xue Ling's son was here...... Erniang? ”

"No, blast away."

Du Yan responded briefly, her voice a little strange.

Qu Shui was stunned, so he had to think that Erniang was angry, and hurriedly ran away.

Soon, the sound of a table shaking sounded inside the door.

Du Yan sat on the table, tilted her head, bit her lip stubbornly, heard the footsteps go away, and finally let out a long snort.

She stretched out a pair of jade hands to hold Xue Bai's belt, and pulled it awkwardly twice, but she couldn't pull it away.

It was given to him by her, a sheepskin belt, tightly fastened.

"I'll figure it out."

"Hmmm......"

Xue Bai relieved him for a while, but before she could untie it, she was dissatisfied and pulled him coquettishly.

The jammed belt was ripped open with a thud and fell to the ground.

……

The wind gradually became stronger, blowing the bells under the corners of the eaves, making a crisp sound.

Two clouds in the sky were blown together, intertwined and merged into one, and the water vapor was thick, and finally brewed into raindrops.

The spring rain falls, moisturizing things silently.

The willow trees in the distance resounded with the chirping of warblers, and Chang'an City was washed by the spring rain, as if it had a new color.

It is "the dream of the flower timidity, the wind and the cold butterfly, and the willow sorrow of the spring rain and the sound of the wet warbler".

~~

"Lady, Xue Bai said...... No visitors. ”

Da Xi Yingying frowned, her face gradually displeased, and ordered: "Find some scoundrels to go to Fengwei Building to ask for debts." ”

"Yes."

"I'm going to see for myself."

"Lady, it's raining, or ...... The villain went to prepare the car. ”

Although it was only a short journey, Da Xi Yingying had to take a carriage.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, and she lifted some curtains to look at Fengweilou, where the scoundrels had arrived and were shouting inside.

"The father's debt is repaid by the son, it is justified, Xue Ling owes us money, and Xue Bai should pay it back!"

Today is another powerful banquet, Da Xi Yingying didn't dare to offend them for a little thing, and let the scoundrels shout like this, just to make Xue Bai feel the pressure.

This is also her temptation, to observe this young man who has attracted the attention of Shouwang.

Soon, a teenager arrived with the hospital guards and shouted, "If you make trouble again, you will offend Mrs. Qiuguo, do you know?" This is the property of Mrs. Qiuguo. ”

"Xue Bai, why don't you pay back?!"

Da Xi Yingying frowned, knowing that this scoundrel had recognized the wrong person.

Du Wulang saw that he was mistaken, and shook his head, he didn't want to be regarded as the old-fashioned and boring Xue Bai.

But there was nothing to explain to this ignorant Lai Han, so he raised his hand and immediately shouted: "Pingyang County Gongzu Xun, descendants, those who dare to gamble, will be expelled from the house forever, regardless of parents and children." ”

Thinking of the way his grandfather scolded him for losing money that day, Du Wulang was full of momentum, and added: "Xue Bai abides by the ancestral teachings, if he pays off the debts of the gambler, wouldn't it be unfilial?" ”

The words fell on the carriage in the distance.

Da Xi Yingying saw it and asked Shi Zhong on the wheel, "Who do you think this Du Cheng is?" ”

"It looks stupid, but it's actually stupid, and occasionally there are some amazing words, and the background of the children of the family is somewhat there." Shi Zhong said, "In short, judging from the news given by King Shou, Xue Bai is more capable. As for Du Cheng, he should be a nerd with occasional inspiration. ”

"Nerd?" Da Xi Yingying smiled slightly, "Xue Pingzhao must have someone to raise him in ten years, did the Du family really happen to save him recently?" Look at the relationship between this nerd and Xue Bai. ”

"What does the lady mean?"

"The nerd is staring too." Da Xi Yingying said: "Did King Shou promise to see me?" ”

"This ...... The Ten Kings' Mansion is strictly managed, and King Shou said that it is better to wait for the lady to find a clue. ”

Shi Zhong said, peeked over, saw Da Xi Yingying's face was ugly, and said in a low voice: "The villain is going to find a beautiful boy for the lady......"

~~

After three days, the twilight drums of Chang'an City sounded again.

"Boom."

"Boom."

The guests in the Fengwei Building had gradually dispersed, and Du Wulang stretched his waist and walked to the backyard with Du Cheng.

"Eldest sister, have you been angry with Xue Bai lately? Because he's moving out. ”

"Nope." Du Cheng turned her head, and her voice was inexplicably gentle, "I'm not angry with him." ”

In the small attic, Xue Bai and Du Yan walked down.

"Hey, where did you just go? Someone came to make trouble. Xue Bai, if your grandfather's matter is not resolved, people will say that you are unfilial. ”

"It's settled."

Du Yan glanced up at the sky and muttered, "It's raining?" ”

"It's been a long time, doesn't the second sister know?"

"It's a hassle to ride home." Du Yan frowned.

Du Wulang shook his head and muttered, "I'm getting more and more squeamish." ”

The four of them had forgotten about the curfew, and rode back to Du's house, and although they were wearing robes, their hair was still wet.

In the stable, there are a few thin figures feeding the horses.

"Why are you here?"

"Sixth brother."

Xue Xian led his younger brothers and sisters to salute the Du family brothers and sisters, and then replied: "We help feed the horses, I am very good at raising horses." ”

"Well done." Xue Bai patted his head and asked, "Have you eaten it?" ”

"We were very full, and Sister Qinglan gave us a lot to eat. Sixth brother, is it okay for us to eat so much here? ”

"Haha, of course it doesn't matter." Du Wulang smiled: "You should be in your own home." ”

"Thank you Goro." After Xue Xian saluted, he looked at Xue Bai again.

"Well, don't be too inhibited, but don't get people in trouble either. Let's go back to Xue's house for a few days, and ask a gentleman to teach you to read, okay? ”

"Okay."

Xue Xian actually didn't want to study, he wanted to join the army, follow the example of his great-grandfather, and revitalize the lintel, but although the sixth brother in front of him had just returned, he was very willing to listen.

"Sixth brother is so powerful, can he really go home?" Xue Qiniang Xue asked, "Then Grandpa ......"

"Qi Niang."

Xue Xian hurriedly pulled away his sister, as if he was afraid that she would really be able to ask Xue Ling back.

~~

Night falls.

Qinglan wiped Xue Bai's hair, talked about getting along with the Xue family today, and promised to take care of them in the next few days when he was away, and then reluctantly left and went back to the back yard.

Xue Bai changed his spring shirt, hesitated, bolted the door of the house, and pushed the table to the door against it.

Although she was looking forward to Du Yan coming back tonight, they both knew very well that this relationship was unseemly, she was probably a little jealous of Yang Yuyao's power, and he still had to give back to Yang Yuyao.

……

This night he slept very deeply, Xue Bai woke up, moved the table, opened the door, and saw Qinglan standing there with breakfast with an unhappy face.

"Lang Jun wants to be lazy and prevent me from going in?"

"yes."

Qing Lancai was not afraid of him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Lang Jun himself said that he wanted to study and improve, but he can't do this next time...... Good no good? ”

She finished speaking before she remembered to ask if it was okay.

The Du sisters had already gone to Fengwei Building, and it seemed that everyone had slept well that night.

Xue Bai packed up and drove the horse out, thinking that it was enough for Xue Ling's thing to be done like this.

However, yesterday, Yan Zhenqing forgot to give a note because of the delay in handling the case. This is actually a good thing, and it is better to forget about it today so that you can have a chance to visit more.

With only one copybook, how can it be more beneficial than apprenticeship?

The talent and prestige that the Tang Dynasty officialdom wants, in these two aspects, Xue Bai thinks that Yan Zhenqing can help him a lot......
