When Big Brother Bai and Bai Ye left, they left all the servants behind besides Huanxi, and Bai Ye specially dispatched a dozen clever servants from the branch hall.

Except for the unbearable longing, everything else is fine for Bai Ye.He was also used to running around, and in his carriage because he needed to travel around for many years, there were many small things that could relieve boredom.Brother Bai's carriage was quite standard, not as refined and considerate as Bai Ye's, so within a few days, Brother Bai climbed into Bai Ye's carriage with a cheeky face ignoring Bai Ye's stinky face of being disturbed in meditation.Two people are better than being bored by one person to pass the time, not to mention Brother Bai is the master of everything that the second brother said, Bai Ye is in a daze today if he wants to be in a daze, play chess if he wants to play chess, and play chess if he wants to play Brother Dice Bai also rolled up his sleeves and indulged.I thought that I would deliberately set off a few days earlier due to the heavy snow blocking the road. I didn’t expect that the heavy snow in the north this year came early, and the snow on the official road had already been cleared. It was more than a day earlier than originally estimated at Xuantianmen.

When they were not far from Xuantianmen, Bai Zhengqing had already sent someone to rush back to the gate to report, and when the two people's carriage arrived at the gate, several chief managers were waiting at the gate.

After entering the door, they each went back to their rooms. After Bai Ye washed up a bit, a girl came to invite Bai Ye to the Buddhist hall.Sitting on a chair with a string of sandalwood beads in her hand, Lu watched the girl lead Bai Ye in, watched Bai Ye salute, served him fragrant tea, and then let the servants go out.

As soon as Bai Ye heard the door was closed, he immediately took three steps back, narrowly avoiding the body of the aunt who rushed forward.After all, Lu Shi was getting old, and he stopped chasing after a single blow. He wrapped the prayer beads around his wrist and stretched out his hand to signal Bai Ye to help her back to her original position.

"If I hadn't asked the eldest son to pick you up, would you have planned not to go home during the Chinese New Year?"

"No, it was agreed at the time that I would come back, so I will definitely come back."

Lu Shi nodded, the winter solstice is already a pity, and it would be a pity if anyone in the family could not be there during the Chinese New Year.Especially since I am getting old, no one knows if this will be the last Spring Festival for my family to reunite. It is always good to be able to watch the whole family celebrate the lively festival one more time without any regrets.

"I heard that the south is cold and cold. You have been staying in Wuzhou this year, but have you ever felt uncomfortable?"

"Fortunately, I'm used to walking around, and it's easier to adapt. And I also have inner body protection, so this kind of coldness is nothing to me."

Mrs. Lu responded, tapped two beads between his fingers, and asked again: "But your Mr. Xiao, is he a frail scholar? Can he stand the cold?"

Bai Ye had heard from Bai Zhengqing a long time ago that the aunt already knew about his affairs with Xiao Ran, so she was not surprised to hear Shi Lu mention Xiao Ran, but she also knew that this would be the time for Shi Lu to get down to business, so she held her hand He got a chair and sat beside Lu Shi. "Although Xiao Ran is not in good health, he has been living in Wuzhou City for many years, and he has long been used to the southern weather, so you should worry about it, ma'am."

"Hey, I've always felt that the south is not good, it's not straightforward, and even the people it raises are like that, greasy and crooked..." Lu closed her eyes slightly, as if complaining casually, the Buddhist beads in her hand were still loose Turn slowly.

"Yeah, it's a bit... But Xiao Ran is okay, he's still a straightforward person. If he is also such a grumpy person, I can't stand it."

"I heard that people in the south are all juicy, and even men are unique?"

"Haha, where is it... Xiao Ran is just a bit more handsome, so I really can't see it anywhere. But the two of them have been together for a long time, and they are used to seeing it. It's really hard to judge whether it looks good or not. It's..."

"Nonsense, I've seen you for so many years, and I still think my second son is the most beautiful!" Lu Shi retorted with staring eyes when he heard that, Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh out of his serious appearance, and he was unconsciously restrained just now. Scattered a lot.

"Xiao Ran and I... He didn't get my attention by his face, please don't worry, ma'am."

"Hey, your elder brother should have talked to you about this, right? He and I have the same idea, as long as you are happy. You are not a child anymore. I believe your vision. Since you are here now saying that the person is not It's the best thing to seduce you with beauty."

"Thank you aunt and brother for your understanding. I really appreciate your understanding and tolerance."

"We're all a family. Why are you saying such polite words? It's strange!" Lu Shi stretched out his hand and patted Bai Ye's shoulder affectionately. "But don't blame the aunt for talking too much. If the two of you want to be together, even if we all understand, but other people's eyes and gossip, are you ready to take on everything? Your elder brother wrote a letter before. When I came back, I also praised that young master Xiao, praised him for being knowledgeable, rational, advance and retreat, humble, and able to control your bad temper... Although I haven't seen that child yet, but the eldest son can praise a person like this, I believe that he must be a good boy. Second son, life is very long. If this time is just because of your whim, Madam advises you to end it earlier. Since you still like that child, think about it. Can you bear that he will be wronged because of you? Maybe, you say you can rely on each other now, but what if you separate one day in the future? Moreover, he is still a literati, even if he has opened a small bookstore now, but He will never be a Jiang Hu person. Now that there has been an incident in Nine Dragons, there is no guarantee that there will be no more Seven Dragons and Eight Dragons in the future. Can you keep him safe for the rest of his life?"

Bai Ye was silent for a moment, and twitched the corners of his mouth as if he wanted to laugh, but he didn't force himself after all.He turned his head sideways to consider his words, then raised his head and said seriously to Lu Shi: "Mother, thank you for worrying about the second son, but I have identified this person, and I have chosen the person I want to spend my whole life with. Many things are my first I didn't think too much about it, but aunt, if you like it, the second son must get it. No matter if others say that I am selfish or shameless, I don't mind, as long as Xiao Ran is by my side. It is really impossible for the second son to think I have to take care of everything, but the second son has sworn to himself that he will do his best to protect Xiao Ran comprehensively. Whether it is now or in the future, we have a lifetime for me to slowly fulfill this vow. Whether he is from the rivers and lakes or a businessman, Even if he still decides to go back to be a little teacher one day, I am willing to accompany him. If I cause trouble to him because I insist on being with him, I will feel guilty, but I will never let go. Auntie, I miss Once, I will not let myself be wrong again. I was ignorant in the past, so it is no wonder that you and your eldest brother worry about it, but I have thought about this matter for a long time. Since I made the decision to spend my life with him At the beginning, I was always thinking about how to do better, aunt, the second son has grown up, this time, it's not fooling around."

Lu Shi quietly listened to Bai Ye talking about his decision calmly, and the corners of her eyes gradually became moist.In her heart, her second son has always been a child. Even though he is old, even if his martial arts are invincible, he always has a childish waywardness and arrogance.That's what she and the eldest son doted on. They may have doted on them, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with such a second son.However, it's been a long time since we saw each other. Their second son has matured and stabilized... He has something he wants to protect... The determination and unyielding in his eyes made her, a mother, feel unspeakably sour.Maybe the second son is willing to keep his willfulness all the time, but it is gratifying to see the grown-up child.

"If you have already made up your mind, the aunt will not say anything. No matter what, you are the second master of Xuantianmen, the world will not tolerate you, and we are here waiting for you and that child to go home."

Bai Ye stood up and bowed to the aunt, expressing his gratitude without saying a word.

With great difficulty, Lu Shi pulled Bai Ye to sit down again, and patted his hand. "That child also thinks a lot... I've already heard from the eldest son why he didn't want to come with him this time. Hey, think about it for him, Xiao Ran is also a distressed child."

"It's okay, ma'am, I've thought about it. Some things always need to be dealt with. After the new year, I will come one by one. Maybe when the spring equinox comes, I can bring him back to see you."
