Chapter Thirty-Six: The Visit
Carrying the blame for no reason, Hu Xi scolded and walked out of the door, his voice and smile were still there, and he suddenly remembered an agreement, while it was still early, let Yan Zhang go with him, go to the Bai family in the north of the city, and visit.
Gu Qianxu smiled happily, "Brother Ran, I'll go too!"
"Let's go. With a bright smile, he shouted to Gu Qianxu to keep up.
As soon as the silver black fox saw Gu Qianxu go out, he ran quickly like a meteor in small steps, hugged Gu Qianxu's thighs, stuck to him and didn't let him leave, and rolled around coquettishly.
Old man He smiled, "Take it with you, maybe it will be useful." ”
"Okay, Ling Xing, come!" Gu Qianxu called the silver black fox as he ran.
Half an hour later, I arrived in the north of Pingjing City in a carriage and saw the ancestral house where the Bai family had lived for generations.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate, and the man was an eight-foot middle-aged man, thinking that a big man was coming, and greeted him respectfully.
"The little Bai family caretaker, I don't know ...... noble person is here" The man nodded and asked the nobleman in the carriage, what is the important matter of coming to the Bai family.
"Seeing the third son of the Bai family, please report it. He got out of the carriage with a smile, holding the guest token in his hand.
The man looked at the man in front of him, his temperament was radiant, and he couldn't afford to offend the lord, but he had never seen such a nobleman, and the third son of the Bai family was not there, so he hurriedly went to the Li family with his subordinates, and said that he had something urgent to do when he left.
He shook his hand and said that it was okay, and smiled happily, "Then we will wait here." ”
"The little one, go and tell the head of the house. He said goodbye respectfully and strode away.
At this time, the head of the Bai family vented his anger in the back garden, and he was furious, and he really wanted to order Chen Tu to be drowned, and let him go to hell to reflect, and he would not be able to reach Tianquan for eternity.
"Report ...... Tell the master of the house, a distinguished guest is coming. "The man was terrified, for fear that the head of the house would be angry.
"What a distinguished guest, let him come tomorrow if he talks about business. Bai Qu kicked the flowers and plants, obviously a little impatient.
Both sides were embarrassed, and the man swallowed his saliva and whispered: "The master of the family, I'm afraid this won't work, he insists on seeing the third prince, and there is also a distinguished guest token." ”
"What?!" Bai Qu clapped his hands, straightened his clothes and went to greet him.
The gentleman hurriedly followed, introducing the appearance of the distinguished guest, Bai Qu couldn't remember it after listening to it, and he was not impressed by the distinguished guest in his mouth at all, and it was not very profound.
Coming to the gate, the magnificence of the carriage was particularly conspicuous, Bai Qu weighed it, a bit like going to Hengzong Town, the two sides talked about business cooperation, the luxury carriage sent by the Chen family, but he was not sure, because the Bai family had never given the Chen family a token of honor. The Chen family has a certain status in the medicinal materials market, and when it comes to the remote Hengzong Town, what comes to mind is the Chen family's medicinal wine to relieve tendons, specializing in the treatment of all kinds of bruises, and the medicinal effect is even praised by the holy dragon, and the foothold is not long, which is not enough to be called a big family.
Bai Qu walked to the carriage and said with a smile, "Your guest is here." ”
Everyone got out of the carriage when they heard the sound, and the middle-aged man in front of them was the owner of the Bai family who they saw in the auction house, and they hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands, took out the distinguished customer token, and briefly explained the ins and outs.
"Clan...... The Bai family is so honored!" Bai Qu was surprised, no wonder in the auction house, he didn't see the Qi family, it turned out that there was another person, listening to the music and reporting it, the Qi family set off a big wave, the person in front of him, the knowledge and cultivation are beyond ordinary people, it is very likely that the Qi family sent it.
He saluted abruptly and said in a low voice: "The master of the Bai family is polite, and he took the liberty to visit and disturb him. ”
"It's not easy for Mr. Yi to come! The small mansion is shining!" Bai Qu held his hands and invited everyone to gather in the house.
He nodded with a smile and said, "The head of the Xie family is kind, you invite first." ”
"Ah, oh, good, good!" Bai Qu knocked on the door of his head, laughing at himself for being old and not very useful, and he couldn't react.
The appearance of the Bai family's mansion looks old, and the location is relatively remote, in the old area in the north of Pingjing City, close to the city wall, the necessary place for officers and soldiers to patrol, the mansion covers a vast area, the ancestors settled down in this place, and enjoyed the protection of the ancestral house from generation to generation. The houses inside are evenly distributed, the flowers and trees are thick, the stream is murmuring, the spring swallows are flying, and the branches are green, adding a new beauty. Gu Qianxu looked around, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, as if he had never seen the world, he saw envy in his eyes, and saw the beautiful scenery of the ancestral house at a glance.
To the north of the ancestral house, there is a tiny mountain, the flowing water is non-stop, along the path into the bamboo forest, there is a room in the slender bamboo, which seems to be a little simple, but in fact the workmanship is exquisite, there is a kind of cheap luxury, like the place where the world's masters live. Baiqu answered to everyone that this place is the guest hall of the ancestral house, which increases the hospitality of the Bai family, and only those who hold the token of honor can come here. I was also taken aback, and kept praising the Bai family, which is worthy of the four major families in Pingjing, this ancestral house is extraordinary, and I really want to live here for a while. When everyone arrived in the guest hall, there were other people in the room, Bai Qu looked confused, it turned out that it was the daughter of the Qin family who came here to play, and was busy explaining to Yan Ran that Qin Yu was a frequent visitor, loved the environment here, and often came to play.
"That poor sour boy!" Qin Yu's maid Xiao Xin saw Gu Qianxu holding a black fox in her arms, her eyes were straight, and she muttered in a low voice, how could a poor sour boy enter the important land of the Bai family's distinguished guests.
"Hello. Gu Qianxu waved his little hand, touched the fluff of the silver black fox, and greeted Qin Yu.
"What a coincidence!" Qin Yu looked happy, asked the maid to follow, got up and walked to Gu Qianxu's side, looking up and down, making Gu Qianxu uncomfortable.
Gu Qianxu wiped his face with his hand and asked suspiciously, "Do I have anything on my face?" ”
"Hmph, no, I'll take a look, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Qin Yu smiled, teasing the silver black fox with a bright smile on his face.
"Cut, sneak in, poor sour. The maid sneered coldly.
He smiled abruptly and whispered, "The master didn't say anything, but the servant was picky." ”
"Cut, our young lady, not everyone can see it. The maid's words did not have a hint of kindness.
Bai Qu smiled and eased the atmosphere, "There may be some misunderstanding, they are the distinguished guests of the Bai family." ”
Hearing that it was a distinguished guest, Qin Yu said in a surprised tone: "Wow, you have a distinguished guest token, you can endure it for a long time!"
"Maybe it's fake, don't be deceived. The maid looked indifferent, the sour tone, and the disgust.
Qin Yu was a little annoyed, lowered his head and said softly, "Okay, if you disturb the Bai family's distinguished guests again, you will go out!"
The maid knelt on the ground and said in a crying tone: "Miss, how can you help outsiders speak, the slave and maid are also curious, in case the token of the guest is fake......
"That's enough! This is the Bai family! You are a subordinate who is rampant here, discussing the truth of the distinguished guests, are you questioning my blindness?!" Bai Qu was furious and yelled at the maid.
The maid was so frightened that she knelt down and said, "No, it's not......"
"What's wrong, if Mr. Qi blames, you can't escape the crime!" Bai Qu was angry, panting and apologizing to Qi Ran, accidentally letting them see the joke.
"Thirteen surnames, the ...... of the Gang clan" Qin Yu's face changed suddenly, but he didn't expect the man in front of him to be a member of the clan.
............Seeing that this was wrong, the maid hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, dragging Qin Yu's clothes with a frightened face.
The head of the Bai family is so respectful to the man in front of him, it seems that he must be a person from the Yan clan, in the entire Xuan Dynasty, no one wants to offend the wang clan of the thirteen clans, seeing that the maid already knows that he is wrong, Qin Yu is soft and kind for a while, please forgive the maid for her recklessness and ignorance.
"Probably not, you'll have to ask him. He looked at Gu Qianxu with a smile and asked the maid to apologize to him.
The maid said with a disgusted face: "What, that poor and sour ......"
Smack-
Before the words fell, Qin Yu was very angry, and slapped the maid in the face, asking the maid to apologize to Gu Qianxu.
"Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong, but the slave and the maid have been with you for twelve years, and you are dedicated to the Lord, but you treat it like this for an irrelevant person...... " The maid cried silently, and said with tears in her eyes.
The maid's real name is Yang Xin, she has no parents since she was a child, and she was raised by her grandmother, in the winter of that year, Yang Xin went out to pick vegetables on the hillside, and when she came back, the dilapidated tiled house was even more unsightly, and she found that things were not quite right, and she ran into the house in fear, and her grandfather and grandmother had been killed by bandits and were lying on the bed. Yang Xin cried bitterly, cheered up, and ran to Pingjing City alone to earn coffin money for her grandmother, and the officers and soldiers listened to her tell that she had no father and mother since she was a child, and now her grandmother was also murdered. The officers and soldiers saw that although Yang Xin was young, her face was as beautiful as a flower, and they detained her with a bad idea, and happened to be seen by the eldest lady of the Qin family, and after some questions and answers, they took Yang Xin in out of pity, took her back to the Qin Mansion, and asked her to accompany the second lady as a personal maid. Because of the maid's unfortunate experience, Qin Yu also loved her very much, and the two depended on each other as companions, inseparable, like sisters.
Qin Yu looked at the right hand of the maid, at a loss, a little guilty, and said slowly, "I, I ......"
"Judging by the following, it is better to change to a maid. Shaking his head and sighing, he walked over to the wooden bench and sat down.
Bai Qu really couldn't stand it, walked out a few steps and stood up, and said with an angry look, "It's really unreasonable to talk about things, and I have insulted distinguished guests again and again, and now I am wronged, it's really ridiculous!"
Qin Yu glanced at the maid, took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Uncle Bai is suddenly angry about this trivial matter, Yu'er will inform his father and let him decide." ”
Without paying attention, the silver black fox jumped from Gu Qianxu's arms, landed with steady steps, circled around the maid, stared at the maid viciously, and made a dissatisfied sound. The maid had no choice but to look at it, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, and then angering the head of the Bai family and the Yan family, it was nothing more than getting angry and asking for hardship.
"Ling Xing, don't make trouble, come on!" Gu Qianxu clapped his hands and called the silver black fox.
Qin Yu looked at the silver black fox and said with a smile: "What a nice name." ”
"No, it's not as good as yours, Ling Xing, I'm coming back soon. Gu Qianxu called a few times and didn't move, and the silver black fox lay on the ground and rolled, refusing to get up.
Qin Yu teased the silver black fox, his face was full of joyful smiles, and when he saw Gu Qianxu turn to leave, the silver black fox hurriedly got up and followed, causing everyone to laugh.
Bai Qu praised it for understanding human nature, clapped his hands and smiled, "Hahaha, this fox is so interesting." ”
The silver black fox ran in front of Bai Qu, sitting on the ground with its paws outstretched, gesturing in front of Bai Qu's eyes, as if threatening, very well-behaved and cute. Bai Qu squatted down, touched the head of the silver black fox, the sparkling eyes, the delicate and soft fluff, running around the room, and loved it very much.
