Outside Deyue Tower, Shao An sent away "Bai Yutang" who had "restored" his male attire, and walked slowly towards the backyard.

"Hey, shopkeeper, don't you think our boss is a little strange these days?" A clerk put the rag aside and gossiped on the counter.

"Oh?" The old shopkeeper checked the account book with his abacus, turned a page without raising his head, and said calmly, "Where did you see it?"

"Hey, haven't you noticed it? Every time that Mr. Bai comes, the boss's eyes are crooked with a smile. Once Mr. Bai leaves, he is like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, with no energy. The boss must have something in mind!" The little boy said quietly.

The abacus in the hands of the old shopkeeper stopped for a moment, and with a "snap", he gave the boy a shudder: "You have time to think about the boss's mind, but you don't have time to work, you're going to be lazy again! Go to work!" !"

"Oh, I'm just curious, why do you always react so strongly..." The boy rubbed his forehead and pulled off the rag from the counter, and walked away sullenly.

"Stinky boy, you will be lazy." The old shopkeeper was muttering, but his eyes drifted to the backyard.Anyway, he is such an old man, how can he not see that the boss is hurting lovesickness?But that "Master Bai" might not be someone the boss should approach...

"You look in a bad mood."

Just as Shao An walked into the backyard, he heard a low voice. He turned his head and saw a bearded man in a black robe leaning on a pillar in the corridor, looking at him with a half-smile.

"you……"

"Why, can't you recognize it?" The big man laughed, strode up to him, turned around for a while, and then looked at him with folded arms, "Why, still can't recognize him?"

Shao An stared at his neck for a long time, shook his head and smiled and said, "It turns out to be senior brother, I thought you had left Bianliang a long time ago. Why did you change your face like this? It's so far from your previous taste. gone."

"It's a change of taste once in a while." The big man in black smiled, "Since when have you seen me? I just came back from the Liao Kingdom."

Shao An waved his hand, and said disapprovingly: "Thousand-faced fox Lu Qi's disguise technique is unrivaled, and even experts may not be able to see the flaws. But when it comes to kung fu, senior brother, your knowledge is not as good as younger brother, and others only know you It uses the Eight Spring and Autumn Techniques, but I can see the Yang family's spear technique mixed in it. Senior brother, there is still a big difference between the sword technique and the spear technique."

"Hahahaha! I knew I couldn't hide it from you!" Lu Qi looked very happy, he hooked his junior brother's shoulders, and the two walked towards the room together.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Why did you come to my place? I have a small business, and I can't stand the joint encirclement and suppression of Xia and Song. Don't make trouble for me." Although Shao An said so, the smile on his face became even bigger. "Brother, since when did you become a flower picker?"

"Your serious attitude hasn't changed for so many years." Lu Qi raised her eyebrows, "I'm just pretending to be He Huan. You really don't know this, do you?"

"I know, what about He Huan?" Curious.

"I wasted my time, ruined my face, and chopped off my hands and feet. I guess it's already rotted in some corner now. Whatever he does~" Touched his chin.

"Senior brother is really good at tricks. It's just that we cut the weeds but not the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates. That's all, I will leave the rest to my younger brother." Shao An curled his lips, and his face showed a dazed look again.

"Are you still thinking about that girl?" Lu Qi tilted her head and looked at her junior brother. "If there is anything you can't figure out, tell your senior brother that the master is not here. As a senior brother, I have an obligation to take care of you."

"Brother leaving Bianjing as soon as possible is the greatest help to my little brother." Shao An laughed.

"What a ruthless person. When Xiaosi came, you entertained me so attentively. When you met me, you drove me away before you even said a word." The big man in black actually hooked Shao An's neck like a little girl and acted like a spoiled child. It's chilling.

"Uh, senior brother, let go... I'm getting goosebumps." Shao An stretched out two fingers, pinched the collar of the big man and pulled him off his body.

"Hey, I'll just say it." Shao An felt a little helpless when he saw the aggrieved look in his eyes, alas, senior brother is such a wicked person.

"I...do have...a crush on her..." Shao An picked up the fallen flowers on his shoulders, and said a little lonely, "It's just that she already has a home, and I..."

"What's wrong with you? You also know that the 'home' is not a good place." Lu Qi looked at him with folded arms, "If you really like her, how can you bear to see her fall into the fire pit?"

"You..." Shao An clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, and the juice in the petals was a little sticky.

"What me? You can tell, how could I not know that she is the Princess Sheng who wants to get married." Lu Qi smiled provocatively, "Li Yuanhao is not a good person, she will not be able to achieve that stupid goal by marrying her. You have never been a person who sticks to etiquette, don't tell me you are infected by her so-called dedication."

"I..." Shao An was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and said with a smile, "Yes, I don't stick to etiquette, and I'm not a good person either. I just care about her..."

Lu Qi patted his junior brother on the shoulder: "A person will always commit a fool once or twice in his life. Do you really want her to marry Xia Guo?"

Shao An shook his head silently.

Lu Qi laughed, and said loudly: "So, just do what you want. Don't tell me that sacrifice for the country and sacrifice for righteousness are valuable. If it were me, as long as I can be with the people I care about, Regardless of the flood behind him."

He stuffed a kit into the hands of his younger brother, and said: "There is a person in the wing room, please help take care of it, and leave it to the Kaifeng mansion when the Xia people leave. In addition, there are some medicinal materials in the room, which I got in Mobei." Yes, help me take it to Master. I'm leaving, you should think about it yourself."

"Brother!" Shao An stretched out his hand, and the man smiled and shook his hand and left.He opened the kit in doubt, only to feel his blood rushing and his face burning hot.Brother, really, he actually stuffed himself with high-quality drugs and spring...

In the Kaifeng mansion, Bai Yutang pushed the door into the house with a bowl of medicine.The moment he opened the door, he really hoped to hear that person's gentle "good morning" and see that person smiling at him.

But, no, Zhan Zhao still hasn't woken up.He slept there peacefully, the blush on his face had receded, his face was extremely pale, his long eyelashes drooped down, covering his eyes that were always bright like stars.

Bai Yutang walked over lightly, put the soup beside the bed, leaned over to Zhan Zhao's ear and whispered, "Cat, it's time to get up and drink the medicine. If you don't get up again, I will feed you the fifth master." It's medicine. Don't blame me for taking advantage of others and eating your tofu..."

"Cat..." Bai Yutang called again softly, but the person on the bed still didn't move, his nose was slightly sour and his throat was a little choked, "Okay, lazy cat, this time it's Fifth Master who will feed you, and next time I will feed you by myself." Get up and drink, you know?"

He slowly sat on the edge of the bed, gently turned Zhan Zhao over, and hugged him with the quilt in his arms.He embraced Zhan Zhao in one hand, and held the medicine bowl in the other.Looking at the pitch-black concoction in the bowl, he sighed: "You cat is really black-bellied, and you don't forget to let Fifth Lord 'share weal and woe' with you at this time, you know? Mr. Gongsun got angry and went to You have added a lot of Coptis chinensis to your medicine. He said, if you don’t wake up again, he will put two more in. If you don’t want to drink the bitter medicine, wake up quickly, do you hear me?”

The man in his arms leaned softly on his shoulders, the rise and fall of his chest was still so weak.

Bai Yutang closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and drank the concoction, then lowered his head and fed the concoction into Zhan Zhao's mouth.The flexible tongue pried open the slightly closed articulations, and the bowl of medicine was fed mouthful by mouthful.He took a clean kerchief and wiped Lazy Cat's mouth, put him on the bed and checked the wound on his back.

After covering Zhan Zhao with a quilt, Bai Yutang took a copper basin and went out, intending to fetch some hot water from the kitchen.

"Master Bai, you are here." A servant saw Bai Yutang and rushed forward, "Someone is looking for you in the front yard."

"I'm not free." Holding a copper basin, Bai Yutang walked around the man without looking sideways.

"Hey, Lord Bai, he said he was your nephew." The boy shouted behind him as he still couldn't catch up with the man in white after two steps.

"Who? My nephew?" Bai Yutang stopped and looked back at the person who had finally caught up, "Where are my fourth brother and the others?"

"Fourth Master Jiang and the others don't seem to be in the mansion, I don't know anything else." The servant replied honestly.

"Okay, I'll go ahead and have a look." Bai Yutang stuffed the copper basin into the boy's arms, "Excuse me, send it to the kitchen."

"Yes, hey, Mr. Bai, why are you being polite..." Before the boy could finish his sentence, the person in front of him had disappeared.That's great work, he exclaimed.

In the living room of Kaifeng Mansion, a young man in his twenties was sitting on a chair drinking tea.He was wearing a blue scarf and a white broad brocade robe. He had a handsome face, sharp brows and tiger eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, and he looked quite stable.

When Bai Yutang floated into the hall like a breeze, the young man hurriedly put down his tea bowl, stood up and pulled up his robe, about to kneel down and say: "Nephew Bai Yunsheng pays respects to Second Uncle."

Bai Yutang waved his robe sleeves, and helped him up without waiting for anyone to kneel down: "You don't need to be too polite. How is the sister-in-law at home? How about Yunrui Yunxiang and the others?"

"Mother is in good health, and my younger brothers are very sensible. My second uncle is worried!" Bai Yunsheng replied seriously.

"Hey, isn't this Yunsheng? When did you come?" Jiang Pingping came in from the outside, and Xu Qing was the first to shout.

"Yunsheng has met Second Uncle Han, Third Uncle Xu, and Fourth Uncle Jiang." Bai Yunsheng saluted again.

"It's all a family, Yunsheng, why are you so polite. Get up, get up!" Jiang Ping hurriedly reached out to help him, "Why are you coming to Bianjing at this time?"

"I came to take part in the 'Ministry of Etiquette Examination', and I came to visit my second uncle when I first arrived." Bai Yunsheng smiled, then turned to the haggard Bai Yutang and said, "Second uncle, you look not in good spirits, yes It's not that the injury hasn't healed yet? The news about the skyrocketing tower before spread to the Bai family, which frightened the mother."

Bai Yutang smiled unnaturally: "Don't worry my sister-in-law, my injury is no longer serious."

"Yeah, your second uncle's injury is almost healed." Xu Qing walked to the table and poured a bowl of tea into his mouth, "He looks like this, he is tired of taking care of a wounded cat."

"Third Brother!" Jiang Ping glared at Xu Qing.

"Cat? But Master Zhan Zhaozhan?" Bai Yunsheng said, "I heard about the competition between Xia Guo and Song Guo on the way here, but Master Zhan was injured because of this?"

"That's not true." Jiang Ping shook his feather fan, his eyes couldn't hide his worry, "He's hurt badly, and he hasn't woken up yet."

"This..." Bai Yunsheng also showed concern, "When I went to Beijing this time, my mother asked me to bring some medicinal herbs to my second uncle. Why don't you ask the doctor to see if there are any herbs that can be used by Mr. Zhan?"

"I don't need it for the time being, please keep it." Bai Yutang shook his head, "There are a lot of things sent from the palace, the cat will be fine. Yunsheng, I don't have anything else to do, I will go in first, the cat can't leave People. Fourth brother, I’m sorry to trouble you.” After he finished speaking, he quickly disappeared outside the door.

Bai Yunsheng was dumbfounded, and then said after a long while: "Well...Second Uncle and Mr. Zhan seem to have a good relationship..." Otherwise, with Second Uncle's previous temper, how could he not settle himself before leaving.

The relationship between the two of them was more than average, and the other three did not speak.

"By the way, Yunsheng, where do you live in Bianjing?" said Han Zhang who hadn't spoken yet.It was Han Erye who was more meticulous.

"Of course I live in my own property. However, I don't want to live in an inn, so I asked Mo Yu and Uncle Fu to clean up Juxian Building." Bai Yunsheng replied respectfully, "Your uncles are busy with business, and there are not many Yunsheng. Excuse me, please leave first."

Bai Yunsheng said goodbye to everyone in Kaifeng Mansion one by one. It's a pity that Lord Bao hasn't come back yet, but even if he does, he won't bother him.Han Zhang was worried, so he sent them all the way back.

The yamen servants in the Kaifeng mansion gossip a lot, Mr. Bai is very skilled in martial arts, but his nephew doesn't even know a little bit of martial arts.However, this time he came to prepare for the Ministry of Rites examination, and he might be an adult in the future.

When Bai Yunsheng arrived at Juxianlou, he invited all the shopkeepers of the local Baijia shop to check the accounts one by one.

When the lights came on, all the shopkeepers of the Bai family left Juxian Tower and went back to their own shop.Bai Yunsheng closed the door, walked to the table and sat down, and said to the person standing beside him, "I haven't left for a long time, what happened in Beijing?"

"Master, listen to me..." The person in the dark recounted the events during this time.
