[mouse cat] special way

After the thunderstorm that day, Bianliang had a few more drizzles. Fortunately, when the two of them set off on the road, the sky had already cleared up, which saved Gongsun Ce a lot of worry.After going out of Dongshuimen to the outskirts of the city, the population gradually thinned out.The air after the rain is extraordinarily fresh. Under the bright spring light, all you can see are pink willows and green, butterflies flying and warblers singing.

In fact, if there is no such thing as the princess being robbed, outings are still very good.

Bai Yutang rode leisurely on the horse, looking at the azure figure on the black horse not far in front of him, the tenderness in his eyes overflowed with spring water.That person's waist is straight, and he looks so clean and thorough at all times.I was deeply attracted by such purity.

Going to Jiangning now, I can take a trip back to Xingkong Island and find Dasou to show Zhan Zhao.Mr. Gongsun is always secretive, making it difficult for people to figure out the person's physical condition.However, Bai Yutang is not blind, so how could he fail to see that Zhan Zhao was hiding something from him.

If it's a sister-in-law, she should tell the truth to herself. The sister-in-law has always understood him best.

Speaking of which, it's also thanks to the sister-in-law, otherwise the sister-in-law might arrange a troublesome marriage for him, wouldn't that be bad.

Sigh, I don't know if my sister-in-law mentioned the matter between him and Zhan Zhao. If my sister-in-law saw Mao'er, how would she react?Bai Yutang let his thoughts run wild, completely unaware that he was unknowingly immersed in the fantasy of bringing his wife home to meet his parents.

"Yutang, what are you thinking?" Zhan Zhao, who was walking in front, saw that the person who should have followed was still far behind, and he looked like he was wandering away, so he pulled the rein of the horse and turned back.

"Uh, it's nothing..." Bai Yutang shook his head and straightened his body, "Cat, why are you running back again?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at him suspiciously, then let go of the reins, and walked slowly with the man.

"You... Could it be that you didn't sleep well last night?" Zhan Zhao thought for a long time but could only come up with one reason.The matter of Lingling has already been figured out, and Chunni has also received a reply from Ouyang's elder brother, and even Yunsheng's ritual examination has been entrusted to Mr. Gongsun to take care of it.Other than that, there shouldn't be anything else that could distract Bai Yutang so much.

"I slept well." Bai Yutang raised the corners of his mouth and showed a bright smile, "Don't worry about it, cat, take care of yourself~"

"Isn't it because I saw Fifth Master that you were so distracted that you almost fell off the horse, otherwise no one would pay attention to you." Zhan Zhao gave him an annoyed look, then turned his head and whispered, "Well...is there anything difficult to solve? ? It would be good if multiple people take a closer look. You and I are one, I am worried that you are just cherishing yourself..."

"So that's it, worrying about me is just taking care of myself..." Bai Yutang moved his ears, his eyes sparkled, "Cat, say it again~"

Seeing him approaching inexplicably, Zhan Zhao turned his face away, pursed his lips, and spit out two words: "Childish." Then he accelerated his pace and ignored that person.

"Hey, cat, just say it one more time~" Bai Yutang rode his horse to catch up and followed Zhan Zhao with a smile on his face.

"Bai Yutang, sometimes I really want to know, who is the uncle and who is the nephew between you and Yunsheng?" Zhan Zhao glanced at him with a smile on his lips, "Yunsheng looks much more stable than you. "

"Tch, what's so good about that kid looking old-fashioned at such a young age." Bai Yutang shook his head disapprovingly, "Fifth Lord, I've always been free and easy..."

"Yes, Zhan knows, Fifth Master Bai, you are 'I'm the only one who laughs at the world'." Zhan Zhao teased with a smile.

Bai Yutang frowned, and replied, "Then Mr. Zhan, you are 'a gentleman as gentle as jade'."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Zhan Zhao waved his hands and said, "Come on, let's not talk about it, Zhan's teeth are very sore."

"Mao'er, you deserve it so much. There's nothing to be ashamed of." Bai Yutang leaned closer, but there was always some distance between two horses running side by side, no matter how close they were, it was no different than usual.He couldn't help feeling remorseful, it would be great if he followed Mr. Gongsun's suggestion of letting them drive on the road.

"Okay, stop joking." Zhan Zhao walked away from the man calmly, and said slowly, "You're thinking about the Bai family's affairs, right?" Bai Yutang thought to himself, this cat can't be so shrewd, right? Even Grandpa knows what he thinks...

Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhan Zhao continued, "Before I came out, Yunsheng... told me everything."

Bai Yutang was shocked, what? !Did that brat tell the cat? !How can this work!He hurriedly said, "Well, Mao'er, it's actually my sister-in-law..."

"Business is based on one's ability. If your cousin lost his shop, it can only show that he is not suitable for this business."

Zhan Zhao said to himself, "Even if your cousin marries a famous nobleman, don't take the opportunity to do anything wrong and make things difficult for you. Yutang, I believe in your ability."

Bai Yutang was stunned, it turned out that Yunsheng was talking about this...

Well, although he never took the provocations of those from the Bai family's offshoots to heart, it was too much, and he had his own way to deal with it.However, since this matter can make the cat fight for him, let them go.At that moment, he followed Zhan Zhao's words and nodded, "I understand, cat, don't worry."

"In that case, let's hurry up and try to find Lingling as soon as possible. But, you have to remember, I will always be by your side." Zhan Zhao smiled heartily, and whipped his whip on the horse's buttocks, and he was already far away.

Bai Yutang secretly sighed, forget it, the cat is right, it's better to find Zhao Ling as soon as possible.When we got to Jinhua, we should look for another opportunity to take the cat to see his sister-in-law, so he rushed after her.

After crossing the river by boat, the Wu land in the south of the Yangtze River is basically the sphere of influence of the Bai family.Along the way, there are stores of the Bai family in the large and small towns that pass by, but these stores are very low-key. If Bai Yutang did not intend to give pointers, Zhan Zhao would not be able to see which properties belong to the Bai family.The Bai family bought so many properties, in addition to earning money, it is also for the purpose of passing on news. You must know that besides the disciples of the Beggar Gang, the news of the second child in the Bai family shop is the most timely and accurate.

Zhan Zhao sighed softly on the horse, the last time he came to Xingkong Island to retrieve the three treasures, Bai Yutang had his whereabouts so quickly, so it turned out that it was the shopkeeper who tipped off the news.

"Here, take it, cat." Bai Yutang threw a small black jade token over, "This is a token of my shop, you can use it to ask the shopkeeper for information, which can make up for the lack of government information. In addition, it is more convenient to eat and stay in the hotel.”

Zhan Zhao took the plaque and looked at it over and over for quite a while. The token was moist and delicate in jade, with a seal character "Ze" engraved on one side and a mouse pattern lightly drawn on the other.

Putting the token in his arms, he said to Bai Yutang with a smile, "Why isn't the word 'white' engraved on your Bai family token? And the mouse pattern, could it be related to Brother Lu and the others?"

"A large part of the current property of the Bai family is supported by the empty island." Bai Yutang slowed down, his expression a little cold, "You also know that my eldest brother Bai Jintang originally had a seat in the 'Five Rats'. Kung fu is taught by him."

Zhan Zhao let go of the rein in his hand, and quietly approached Bai Yutang.This was the first time he had heard Bai Yutang talk about his biological brother. When chatting with Jiang Ping before, Fourth Brother Jiang would sigh every time he mentioned Bai Jintang.It stands to reason that according to the age of the four elder brothers, they should indeed be on better terms with Bai Jintang, why are they never mentioned him.

It is rumored that Bai Jintang is a kind-hearted person with a wide range of friends, but... Zhan Zhao can't imagine why that person would send his young relatives away from his side and hand them over to Xingkong Island to be raised. You can count them on one hand.

"When the Bai family was in the hands of my father, it was just an ordinary local rich family. Although it was well-known in the Jiangning area, it was not as powerful as it is now. 20 years ago, my father and mother passed away together, and my elder brother went down the mountain to take over the Bai family. After that, he took care of the business with his elder brother and the others, and gradually gained his current status." Bai Yutang turned his head and looked at an inn that was celebrating its opening beside the bustling street.

Zhan Zhao followed his gaze and found the secret mark of the Bai family on the plaque of the inn, which seemed to be his family's new property.

Bai Yutang grinned, and cursed with a smile: "This kid Yunsheng still talks about me, didn't he swallow Bai Xiuru's shop himself?"

"This is?" Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes curiously, he really couldn't tell the secrets of the Bai family.

"Oh, this shop originally belonged to my cousin, now~" Bai Yutang smiled contemptuously, "It should belong to Yunsheng now."

"Don't you guys avoid people from your own family when you do business?" Zhan Zhao frowned slightly. Why did he think that Yutang and Yunsheng didn't have a good relationship with the rest of the Bai family? This is not a very good thing .

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and wiped it between the man's eyebrows, and he knew at a glance that the cat was worrying again.

"In my opinion, my family members are my sister-in-law and Yunsheng. Other people can't get into the eyes of the fifth master." Bai Yutang said coldly, "Back then, my elder brother was not bad to those people. He treated the elders of the clan I have always been respectful, and the annual bonuses of the side branches are far more than myself. But what about those people? My elder brother was seriously ill in bed, and they never thought of coming to see him. After the elder brother passed away, they even bullied his sister-in-law. , in the mourning hall, there was a clamor to separate the family. At that time, Yunsheng was only 14 years old, and my youngest nephew was only a little over a year old..."

"Yutang..." Zhan Zhao couldn't bear to listen any longer.He is an orphan. Since he was sensible, his only relatives are Master and Chunni. He has never thought that the struggle for power and profit among rich families would be so disregarding of family affection.Between relatives, shouldn't they help and support when they are in trouble, and give them warmth when they are cold?He understood that there was a reason for Bai Yutang's indifference to the Bai family, and Yunsheng's young and old age, they were chilled...

"Cat, it's okay. It's been so many years. Yunsheng and I don't care anymore. Besides, they have tasted the bitter fruit." Bai Yutang smiled and muttered to himself, "Even though they helped The Bai family does business, but they have never separated their account books. If they do not separate the family, they are afraid that the empty island will be dragged down. Therefore, the fifth master simply fulfilled them and made the accounts of the empty island independent. My eldest brother has been doing this for so many years His hard work is not in vain, he is the head of the Bai family after all. Yunsheng inherited [-]% of the elder brother’s property, and later, I put all the [-]% in my hands under the name of Xingkong Island. These years, they have been sitting and eating, and our side It's so prosperous, and now they have less than [-]% of the property they had back then..." What a retribution...

"Yutang..." Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to grab the man's reins, led him away from the bustling inn, walked forward slowly, turned around and smiled softly, "Bai Mouse, you don't have to tell me about your family business." Is it so clear?"

"Uh..." Bai Yutang came back to his senses, with some sunshine on his face, "Mao'er, I'm just telling you that in the future, even if you choose a good hotel to live in, you don't need to think about saving money for your own business... "

"Hehe, thank you Fifth Master for your kindness. Although Zhan is not as rich and powerful as you, he has little assets. You should keep the money and spend it yourself~" Zhan Zhao shook his head with a smile. He was not joking. His salary is quite a lot.Although every time he receives his salary, he will allocate part of it to subsidize the Yizhuang outside the city, but everyone in Kaifeng Prefecture has a share in this matter, and the cost of sharing it on the individual is not much, so he still has a lot of money in his hands .

"Didn't you also say that? You and I are one, what's mine isn't yours..." Bai Yutang stroked the horse's mane, raised his eyebrows with a smile.

"..." Zhan Zhao was speechless, he returned the rein and threw it back into Bai Yutang's hands, and said seriously, "Okay, don't think so much, we should find a place to rest."

"I've made up my mind about this. There happens to be a villa for me not far ahead, and the time will come soon." Bai Yutang stepped forward on his horse and said to Zhan Zhao, "Let's go!"

"it is good!"

Behind him, one stared at the blue and white figures going away, and quickly disappeared into the alley.
