23 Gather in the front hall and stand on the dragon
As soon as these words came out, a thunderclap really exploded in the front hall of Bifu, and the already embarrassing atmosphere suddenly became even more embarrassing. Everyone present knew that Bi Wuzong's eldest son, Bi Changxiao, was in his thirties, and had been married for many years, but he had never had an heir. Just now Xie Yixiang heard that Ouyang Tea's master and apprentice were here to diagnose and treat Bi Changxiao's wife, and thought that there was something wrong with Mrs. Bi's body, but who knew that this Ouyang Tea was actually outspoken, and directly pointed out that the problem was with the vigorous Zheng Guogong, which really made people laugh and cry.
For a while, even Bi Yixiao couldn't help coughing dryly, and said with a forced smile: "My brother is indeed a little overworked for the future of the Bi family. I thought it was a lot of socializing outside, and I drank my body in a staggered manner. However, at present, since there is a 'Taishan Divine Needle' to visit the clinic in person, even if the body is a little loss, it is naturally 'the needle to the disease'. ”
Who knew that Ouyang Cha didn't leave any affection at all, and said: "Physical loss? Even if he is a dying person, I can hang him with a golden needle." But if he suffers from heart disease, even if Da Luo Tianxian descends to earth, he can't help him!"
Xie Yixiang couldn't help but secretly said in her heart: "If a husband and wife can't have children, how can they be sick with their hearts? Could it be that this son of the Bi family is unwilling to sleep with his wife?" I heard that Ouyang Cha suddenly let out a long sigh and said to Bi Yixiao: "He can't do it in this life." The continuation of the Bi family's incense will fall on the three of you brothers and sisters. Xiao'er, when do you plan to get married? No matter how much money you make, in the end there will be no children to inherit, and it will be in vain. ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but set their eyes on Bi Yixiao. Speaking of which, although this Miss Bi Er's ability is great, she is also a daughter after all, and now she is clearly twenty-six or seven, but Yunying has never married, thinking about it, it is indeed surprising. The Chang Master was afraid that Bi Yixiao would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly came out to play a round and said, "What a noble identity Miss Bi Er is, and she is a rare strange woman in the world. There is a way that it is better to lack than to abuse, if the other party can't get into her eyes, how can she easily entrust her for life?"
Who knew that Bi Yixiao didn't mind talking about it at all, and immediately smiled: "Master Chang said that I was joking, where I picked, but I didn't meet the right one." You must know that with the current situation of the Bi family, of course it is impossible for me to marry outside, and even if I want to get married, I can only recruit a son-in-law. However, those who are in charge of our Bi family are not willing to join the family, and the status of the Bi family who is willing to join the family is not very suitable. This has dragged on until now. ”
Xie Yixiang next to her couldn't help but interject and said: "The husband and wife accompany each other until they grow old, as long as it is what they like, why should Sister Xiao look forward to the future so much?
Bi Yixiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yixiang, you are talking like a child." In the final analysis, it is the marriage of two families, just like the alliance of the two major factions on your rivers and lakes. Ordinary people can't figure this out, so it's fine, but you and I are not ordinary people, how can we still not understand it? In order to make the Bi family have a good future, where can I care about whether I like it or not?"
Although her words were relaxed and cheerful, in the ears of everyone, there was a trace of inexplicable desolation. Coincidentally, at this moment, Bi Changxiao's voice suddenly came from outside the hall, and he said loudly: "It's really strange, I obviously asked my subordinates to invite everyone to go to the back hall, why did Mr. Ouyang come to the front hall?
You must know that everyone was still talking about Bi Changxiao's childlessness just now, and they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when they saw him suddenly appear at this moment; fortunately, seeing Bi Changxiao's expression, it was obvious that they hadn't heard Fang Cai's discussion, and everyone was slightly relieved. That Ouyang Cha slammed the dragon head crutch in his hand on the ground, and said loudly: "People are old, and their legs and feet are inconvenient. Since it's a gathering of all the people, where is the difference? You just call everyone else over. ”
Bi Changxiao also seemed to have great respect for this Ouyang tea, and after a little silence, he said: "Since this is the case, according to Mr. Ouyang's wishes, I will change it to the front hall." I'm going to let it go on. ”
At that moment, Bi Changxiao asked someone to invite Zhao Ruocheng and Tu Lingxiao of the Emei Sword Sect, and asked the maid next to Bi Yixiao to call Bi Changming and Bi Yixiang, the two brothers and sisters, as well as Bi Wufu, the official family of the entire Bi Mansion, and he sat in the master's position. After everyone chatted a few words, Bi Changxiao pulled Xie Yixiang and asked long and short questions, saying that he still wanted to get closer to the relationship between Bi Xie's two families.
In a few moments, a young man in his early twenties stepped into the front hall, not handsome, but heroic. Bi Changxiao immediately introduced to Xie Yixiang that this young man was Bi Wuzong's third son and Bi Changxiao's younger brother Bi Changming. I saw Bi Changming greeting everyone present one by one, but his words were extremely brief, compared to Bi Changxiao's self-righteousness and Bi Yixiao's eight-sided exquisiteness, this Bi Sangongzi seemed a little taciturn; even Xie Yixiang greeted him warmly, he just replied lukewarmly, "Hello sister of the Xie family", and then sat directly next to Lord Chang and General Song on the left, and said no more.
In the small talk, Xie Yixiang once heard Bi Changxiao talk about it, saying that this third son of Bi has been studying art abroad all the year round, and rarely lives in Bifu. Who knew that after living for less than half a month after coming back this time, this murder occurred in the house, and he couldn't leave because of the ban of the imperial court. Xie Yixiang couldn't help but secretly said in her heart: "If you put aside the identity of Bi Sangongzi, the current Bi Changming, like the other four guests, came to Bi Mansion half a month before the incident. And on the night of the murder, he was naturally in the house. But because Bi Changming was silent and didn't see any joy or anger on his face, Xie Yixiang couldn't guess for a while.
As soon as Bi Changming sat down, a thin black man in his forties walked in with a sleepy face. He just hugged his fist slightly to Bi Changxiao in the master's seat, and then found a place to sit down, and never spoke; judging from the look on his face, it was obvious that he was extremely sleepy. Xie Yixiang listened to Bi Yixiao's introduction beside her, and it turned out that this thin black man who didn't seem to have woken up was Zhao Ruoregret, the younger brother of the current head of the Emei Sword Sect and known as the "Carved Sword".
Unexpectedly, this master of the Emei Sword Sect's "reading" generation was so depressed, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Dai Qi, the No. 1 master of the Emei Sword Sect that he knew before, although he was born short and ugly, and his face was full of oil, he was always full of energy and radiance, which made people dare not underestimate him; I think it was also because of the three-month ban in Bifu, coupled with the many interrogations of the imperial court, that made him languishing.
You must know that among the people Xie Yixiang saw, even including Ouyang Cha's master and apprentice, Chang Da and Song Shenjiang, there was a hint of tiredness on their expressions. Even if Bi Yixiao is the only one who can laugh and scold, she can play and scold with ease, it seems that this second lady of Bifu is really extraordinary, and even a little unfathomable.
At that moment, someone brought tea to Bi Changming and Zhao Ruoregret, Xie Yixiang's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly found that behind the person who delivered the tea, there was clearly a middle-aged strong man in coarse linen clothes walking into the front hall. Judging by his dress, he is no different from the ordinary farmer in the countryside, and he is not even as good as the clothes of the people in Bifu, and he doesn't know why he will appear in this dignified mansion of Zheng Guogong.
When the strong man walked into the hall, he sat down on the last chair of the seat on the left. Xie Yixiang said secretly in her heart: "Since the 'Fuguan family' in the house is Uncle Bi's entourage back then, to say the least, he is in his early fifties, so naturally it can't be the middle-aged strong man in front of him." But if this person is the murderous demon Tu Lingxiao, who has been famous for decades, he shouldn't be so young. ”
Just when she was guessing, the monk Hai Niansong, who had been meditating and chanting, suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the middle-aged strong man, and shouted in a deep voice: "I have long heard that because of this murder, Bifu specially invited the 'Qingcheng Moke' to settle down in the town, but I didn't expect it to be you Moyin!"
