A piece of Japanese incense

Bai Xun's figure swayed into my sight with the rhythm of the horse's hooves. The horse's steps were light and calm. He was in a leisurely posture, holding the reins loosely in his hands, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, giving people an uneasy and tense atmosphere.

He leaned forward on the horse's back, opened his big mouth, showing his row of uneven teeth, and a strange laugh came out of his throat:

"Hey~ Isn't this Yi and his sister~ Why did you come out to play by yourselves without asking me, your brother, to come with you!"

Yu Tuan and Yu Zhu stood in front of me, and Yu Yi held my arm tightly.

I responded to him calmly: "Who are you?"

"Oh! It's so sad! After just a few days of not seeing each other, my sister has forgotten the little bond we have?" Bai Xun stared at me with burning eyes and rubbed Yu Tuan's cheek lightly with the whip.

Yu Tuan's face flushed red and he rubbed his face vigorously with his sleeves. I didn't want to get too entangled with someone like him, so I ignored him and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Hey!" Bai Xuan waved his whip and stood in front of me: "I heard that my sister booked a firecracker shop last night and set off fireworks that filled the entire shop. Did my sister enjoy watching it?"

I looked up at him and replied coldly: "It's none of your business."

Bai Xuan covered his chest and looked dejected: "Brother, I am not happy. A house was burned down just like that. I am so heartbroken."

(It turned out to be his house? No wonder he reported it to the police with great fanfare.)

He thought so in his heart, but his face remained calm: "What does it have to do with me!"

"Oh my! Have you ever thought that it was your fireworks that splashed into my house and caused the fire?" Bai Xuan frowned and exclaimed: "Then, sister, you have to be responsible for me~"

"What nonsense are you talking about! We were clearly setting off a ..."

I was afraid that Yu Tuan might let the cat out of the bag, so I immediately interrupted and said, "Since the house is on fire, go put it out. There's no point in making a fuss here. It doesn't look like the fire is that big, so stop getting involved!"

Bai Xuan's lips curled up, with a hint of sinisterness hidden in his smile: "Sister is really unromantic, never mind, I have something important to deal with, I'll come play with you another day~"

After saying this, he turned his horse around and prepared to leave, but suddenly he tightened the reins, looked back and sneered: "I heard that your brother was frightened to death by a horse. Alas, he is really useless!"

His face was full of sarcasm: "Fortunately he is not my biological brother. I should kick this coward out of the house as soon as possible and let me, your brother, protect you! Hahaha!"

"Miss, it turned out that he was the one who harmed Young Master Nian!" Yu Tuan was indignant.

"By the way, my little beauty, how is your lover? I think you should stop following a useless man. Why don't you marry into my family with your master and serve me together!

Bai Xian rode on his horse, laughing wildly from a high position, as if he was the master standing on high and looking down at all living beings.

"You are such a person..." Yu Tuan couldn't help but stepped forward to argue.

I was so angry that I almost exploded. I walked around Yutuan, went to the street, and shouted, "Uncles, brothers, sisters, grandpas, and grandmas, come and see!"

I led the crowd to gather around Bai Xuan, raised my finger and pointed at him and shouted, "This man claims to want to marry me, and he also wants me and my sisters to marry him together! I am young and ignorant, and I don't quite understand. I hope my relatives and friends can judge for me. This way of asking for marriage is rare in the world!"

"Isn't this Dalang from the Bai family?"

"Propose in public? Let me see what's going on."

"The two of them had openly argued during the No. 1 Scholar's parade, and now they are talking about marriage?"

"This woman mentions marriage so frivolously. She has no shame at all."

……

For a moment, the place was filled with noise and bustle.

Bai Xuan, on the contrary, became even more proud, stroking his horse complacently: "Everyone! I am ashamed! I could have such a woman ask for my hand in marriage on the street! Although I have several beautiful concubines at home, I have never had a wife. Now that the marriage is imminent, I have no choice but to accept it reluctantly, hahaha!"

"Bah! You are so shameless!" Yu Tuan snorted at him and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

I was so upset that I almost vomited. It really proved what Zhuge Liang said: I have never seen such a shameless person!

I pretended to be panicked, looking him up and down from head to toe, shaking my head left and right, smiling and saying "tsk", "It's understandable that you have such thoughts!"

Bai Xuan waved his whip, and the horse neighed: "What did you just say?"

"Didn't you just ask to marry both of us? My father is a cabinet minister after all, and I was the princess's companion for a few days. Although the Bai family is a distinguished family, it is slightly inferior to me. Don't you want to cling to me?"

Bai Xuan smiled contemptuously: "You? Whose woman is divorced and still lives with her child in her parents' home? A mere cabinet scholar? You just want to gain a title!"

"Shut up! You are not allowed to talk about my daddy!" I pretended to be angry and pointed at him and scolded him rudely.

"Your father is nothing! What's wrong with me saying a few words? You are just a child born by a mother but not raised by a father! I am willing to marry you, it must be a blessing from your ancestors!"

"Hey, hey! Why do you have to praise yourself so much, as if the Bai family has a prominent background."

Bai Xian was so excited that he wanted to hang his head high in the sky: "My father is the Minister of War, and the eldest brother of the late wife of the Marquis of Wanning! Needless to say, the great military exploits that the old Marquis has made for Your Majesty. Even the famous prince cannot be separated from the power of the Marquisate behind my cousin Fang Sinian, so that he can be so prosperous!"

Seeing that he was already getting carried away, I continued to press on: "Haha! According to you, if this prince didn't have the help of the Marquis' Mansion, he would no longer be a prince?"

"Hey! Exactly! Not to mention the Crown Prince, even the current Prince Yun is looking forward to it every day, wishing that my cousin could marry into the palace as soon as possible and become the Crown Prince's consort!"

"So what? I am the companion of Princess Tingzhu! No matter how powerful Prince Yun is, he will only be a minister in the future!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince? Humph! Your Majesty doesn't even care about the Crown Prince. Do you think I would take the Crown Prince seriously? "

Finally I heard what I wanted to hear. I clapped my hands happily and walked to the front of the horse, motioning for everyone to make way for him: "This is hilarious, everyone, make way! This guy has a straight intestine connected to his brain, and his breath alone can suffocate people ten miles away!"

"You bitch! What did you say about me!" Bai Xuan asked gritting his teeth.

I walked to the back of the horse with disdain, pulled out one of my hairpins, and showed it to him: "Why would I say anything nice to someone as stupid as you? Girl, I'll give you a reward!"

As I was speaking, I forcefully inserted the hairpin into the horse's buttocks. The horse suddenly tensed up, let out a painful neigh, and raised its front hooves high. It leaped into the air in an instant as if launched by a spring, and then galloped forward at an astonishing speed, its mane fluttering in the wind. The whole street seemed to be shaking with its escape.
