Five days later in the morning, Rong Le put the breakfast on the table, Bai Lanshi came out from the bedroom with steam, saw the human hair with water droplets, Rong Le hurriedly closed the door and took the towel for Bai Lan stone wipe.
"Young master, why didn't you dry your hair before coming out? It's windy and you'll get sick again." Bai Lanshi's hair volume was a little less than normal due to lack of energy and blood, and his hair was quickly dried.
Bai Lanshi picked up the meat porridge in his bowl and sipped it, only to see Rong Le staring at him in a daze and sighing and asking, "Just say what you want."
"Slave is nothing."
Putting down the bowl and looking at Rong Le, Bai Lanshi snorted out of his nose with a smile, "Huh?"
"My lord, you can't enter the palace alone. In case something happens, there is no one to take care of you." The little girl frowned and yelled out, which made Bai Lanshi startled.
"I know your worry, but not anyone in the palace can enter if they want, if you don't feel at ease, just wait for me at the gate of the city." Bai Lanshi said softly, Rongle's love for Bai Lanshi made Bai Lanshi soft-hearted.
But dignified and dignified, although the door is open to all races, the emperor's palace is strictly guarded. If there is no invitation from the people inside, even mice will not be allowed to enter.
There was a knock on the door, "Young master's carriage is ready, when will we leave?" As soon as Lu Yan finished speaking, the door opened. Bai Lanshi was wearing a dark gray robe, with a high bun fixed with jade hairpins, wearing a Thin cape.
Today is a fine day, the warm sun was shining on Bai Lanshi's face in the morning, Bai Lanshi slightly narrowed his uncomfortable eyes.
"Let's go now."
Bai Lanshi then walked towards the outer courtyard, Lu Yan looked at Rong who was still pouting at the same place, and greeted: "Don't go help the young master."
Lu Yan watched the young master's carriage leave, and went into the mansion to think about purchasing medicinal materials, when he realized that the corner of his clothes was being pulled, and he was clenched tightly with a dirty hand.
It was a little beggar with disheveled hair, only as small as Lu Yan's waist. There were several scabbed wounds on the little beggar's face, his hair was sticking wet to his face, and he was looking up at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan pulled the corner of the clothes out of the little beggar's hand, took out some broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the little beggar, "These are enough for you for a few days, hurry up and go." He stretched out his hand and rushed away.
The little beggar didn't accept the money handed over, and said stubbornly, "I'm not here to beg for food." Tears welled up in his eyes as he spoke, and he stretched out his hand to grab Lu Yan's sleeve, and heard that the little beggar was a boy.
Lu Yan squatted down with a good temper and looked at the little beggar. He wanted to pull back his sleeves but was held tighter by the little beggar. He asked helplessly, "What's the matter with you?"
The little beggar didn't say a word, but just stared at Lu Yan stubbornly, and unexpectedly made the latter look flustered, and said impatiently: "If you don't speak again, I will ask the servant to drive you out."
"Don't...don't drive me away, I'm not here to beg for food." The little beggar said with wide-eyed eyes.
"You don't want to eat, why are you here?" Lu Yan thought that he still had a lot of things to deal with, but he was dragged so hard that he inadvertently added a sense of irritability.
Seeing the little beggar hesitated for a moment, he put his free hand into his bosom, and brought out a dusty handkerchief, "I'm here to return something." Lu Yan stared at the dirty handkerchief that looked like a rag for a long time. Yes, I realized that it was the one I lost a few days ago.
"This is something I don't want. You can either throw it away or pawn it. There are gold threads on it and it is worth some silver." After saying that, he pulled back his sleeve with all his strength, got up and left.
The stunned little beggar suddenly wailed loudly and attracted the attention of passers-by. Lu Yan gritted his back molars and carried the man into the mansion like a chicken. After entering the mansion, the little beggar kept crying, and the people who listened were upset.
Many servants from the Changqing House were attracted to coax and amuse the little beggars, those who walked upside down, those who carried cakes, and those who carried little tiger puppets, it can be said that the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and each showed their magical powers.
But the protagonist was still unmoved, Lu Yan only felt that his ears had been greatly damaged, and shouted: "I stripped you naked at the gate of the Diao Mansion when you were crying!!!"
Everyone: "??!"
Seeing the little beggar, he didn't cry anymore, but just looked at Lu Yan aggrievedly with runny nose and watery eyes, so pitiful.
The woman sitting next to the little beggar scolded: "Why are you so grown up talking to a child? It scares the child." She wiped the tears on the little beggar's face with a handkerchief dipped in water.
"Aunt Hong is crying and my head is about to explode. I didn't do anything today, I just made a fuss with this little ancestor." Lu Yan rubbed his ears.
Aunt Hong saw that the little beggar looked very energetic, and she inadvertently thought of her own child who died young, and asked softly: "My child, are your parents still alive?"
The little beggar stopped crying and reached for the dim sum on the table to eat in small bites. Hearing this, he shook his head blankly. This obedient appearance is really heart-wrenching, "Poor child, Lu Yan might as well leave the child temporarily and come back on behalf of the son..."
Before finishing speaking, don't interrupt, "Aunt Hong's place is not the Salesian Bureau."
With a wow sound, the little beggar cried even harder, sobbing: "I...I...don't go to the Salesian Bureau, I'm leaving now, please." Lu Yan felt countless begging eyes falling on him, and his temples bulged. Jumping, it took a long time before he was forced to nod in compromise.
…
Gao Wei had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, and when he saw the carriage approaching, he hurried up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Mr. is still in good health."
Bai Lanshi was helped out of the car, and nodded to Gao Wei: "There is no serious problem, and I have to worry about you, Father-in-law."
Gao Wei led Bai Lanshi towards the inner palace, "Don't worry about the miscellaneous family. The lady heard that the husband was sick and was very anxious. She grabbed the slave and asked her all the time. She knew that the husband was just caught with the cold unfortunately, so it's embarrassing." rest assured."
"Thank you for your trouble." All the way, Bai Lanshi lowered his eyes and only looked at the road under his feet. Gao Wei said something and Bai Lanshi replied. Gao Wei was concerned that Bai Lanshi's body did not walk too fast, and arrived at the Tai Chi Palace as if on a tour.
The Tai Chi Palace is like the Heavenly Palace, with the spicy smell of prickly ash oozing from the dark red walls, one can imagine how favored the owner is.
Sitting on the main seat is the current empress Tong Yuwan, wearing a horse bun and adorning it with jade bead hairpins, her eyebrows are like stars and moons, her eyes are like flowing water, the red corners of her mouth are a popular facial mask in Beijing, and her hands are like Avalokitesvara , Slightly fat looks full of charm and charm.
Bai Lanshi knelt down to salute, Tong Yuwan saw Bai Lanshi smiling like a flower, and the red dot just hit the dimple, "Why are you so polite with me, please sit down quickly."
"Thank you ma'am."
"Is the teacher okay?" Tong Yuwan asked after retreating from the crowd.
"Go back to my mother's family, everything is fine." Bai Lanshi lowered his eyes slightly and replied respectfully.
Tong Yuwan looked at Bai Lanshi with some emptiness in her eyes, while the latter lowered her eyes and said nothing, and after a while she withdrew her eyes and said embarrassingly: "How many years have passed in a flash." With a bit of desolation.
Hearing this, Bai Lanshi raised his eyes to look at the high-ranking woman, and clearly remembered when his master and master met Tong Yuwan for the first time in the palace, with bright eyes, bright teeth, radiant vision, and slender waist, everything revealed the agility of a young girl. The years have stripped away a woman's brilliance and gifted it with maturity and gentleness, as well as the grace and luxury piled up with money and power.
Tong Yuwan realized that she lost her composure, and changed the subject with a smile, "Mr. still likes the things I gave to Mr."
"Thank you for your love." Bai Lanshi stood up and bowed, "I also hope that your relationship with the grass people will be low-key in the future, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Tong Yuwan was stunned for a while and said with a smile: "It's my negligence."
At this time, a young man came in from outside the door, with a childish expression on his face, tall and slender, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, wearing a black uniform, glanced at Bai Lanshi, and then saluted the queen respectfully: "My son, please see the queen mother." .”
"Why did you come so late?" Tong Yuwan asked with reproach but also with affection.
"I was summoned by my father on the way here, and I was delayed for a while at will, and I asked my mother to punish me."
"My child, your father must have something to discuss with you when he asked you to go, so what's wrong with your mother?" Tong Yuwan pursed her lips and smiled lightly.
"Thank you, Empress." The young man turned to look at Bai Lanshi and made a bow, "This must be the gentleman that Empress Mother mentioned."
Tong Yuwan smiled and stepped down, took the boy's hand and said with a smile: "Does Huan'er remember this old friend?"
Qi Huan was thinking quickly, the face of the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind, he was startled and quickly denied it, shaking his head apologetically: "My child is stupid."
"Back then you followed others and called you brother, your father never even coaxed or lied to you." Tong Yuwan said with a smile.
Qi Huan's heart sank, how could the heroic young man in his memory who was pointing at foreign enemies turn into the weak and cowardly look in front of him, and immediately froze in place.
Bai Lanshi caught the astonishment in Qi Huan's eyes, laughed at himself before raising his eyes, and said with a smile like a spring breeze: "I think this is His Royal Highness King Rui, and he is indeed as imposing as the rumors say."
Qi Huan hadn't escaped from the complicated emotions, he stared at Bai Lanshi's face closely, and said thoughtfully, "Ten years..." After a pause, "Mr. has changed a lot."
Bai Lanshi lowered his eyes and smiled without saying a word.
The three chatted a lot, basically Tong Yuwan asked, Bai Lanshi answered, Qi Huan made noises from time to time, but it was unexpectedly harmonious. It wasn't until Qi Huan reminded Tong Yuwan that they were about to come to the corner. I couldn't stop asking a few more questions, sir, you can go back after lunch in Tai Chi Palace."
Bai Lanshi got up and said: "Thanks to your mother's love, the servants are still waiting outside the city, which may make them worry."
It must be someone brought from Xuanji Pavilion, Tong Yuwan immediately understood, "Let Huan'er send Mr. out of the palace because the road to the palace is tortuous."
"Thank you, Ma'am, His Royal Highness King Laurie is here." Bai Lanshi did not refuse, but Qi Huan who was beside him showed embarrassment.
The two walked one after the other, Qi Huan walked fast, Bai Lanshi had to speed up the pace behind, and remained silent all the way.
Rong Le, who was guarding the gate of the palace, looked at Bai Lanshi's pale lips, thin sweat oozing from his forehead, his chest heaving slightly and gasping for breath, he quickly wiped off the sweat with a handkerchief, and said worriedly: "Why are there so many things?" Khan." Bai Lanshi waved his hand to indicate that nothing happened, and introduced: "This is His Royal Highness King Rui."
Only then did Rong Le notice the person standing beside the young master, and saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Rui."
Bai Lanshi smiled at Qi Huan: "Rong Le stayed in the pavilion since he was a child, the first time he went down the mountain with me and invited Rui Wang Haihan." Qi Huan looked at Rong Le and then at Bai Lanshi and frowned, Bai Lanshi was taken aback by this aboveboard look.
Qi Huan asked puzzled, "Why are you so weak?"
Bai Lanshi squeezed the hands hidden in the sleeves without any trace, and said with a smile on his face: "If you don't exercise, you will become weaker and weaker." Rong Le's eyes were red, and Bai Lanshi knew what she was thinking , Pat the girl on the head.
Qi Huan obviously couldn't accept this explanation, but he couldn't say anything. Seeing Bai Lanshi pat the girl's head, his face suddenly sank. Make a door visit.
…
Seeing Qi Huan, Bai Lanshi felt a lot of emotion. The little tail who was following him at that time is now looking handsome. If Qi Huan hadn't said that he hadn't realized that ten years had passed, there was no time in the mountains. You can know the world affairs without leaving home, but it is not as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.
A day in the middle of the cave is a thousand years in the world.
The carriage staggered to the Changqing Mansion, Bai Lanshi had told the Queen a lot today that he was very tired, and wanted to go back to rest after lunch, but Aunt Hong led a child with a face like white jade in. The child is a little beggar, after being groomed by Aunt Hong, he looks very fresh, and Lu Yan followed slowly with his arms folded.
"Slave pays tribute to the young master." Aunt Hong bowed her body, Bai Lanshi hurriedly helped him up, and said softly, "Aunt Hong doesn't have to be like this."
No one in the house knew Aunt Hong's real name, so they called Aunt Hong along with Bai Lanshi. In fact, Bai Lanshi didn't know Aunt Hong's real name, but his master told him to call him that, and he never changed his name.
Aunt Hong is also from Xuanji Pavilion, and Bai Lanshi is an orphan who was brought back by Bian Yujing and was entrusted to Aunt Hong to be raised. It is said that Aunt Hong had a child who died in her womb before the fifth month. It is also known.
When Aunt Hong was young, her appearance was astonishing. Many people wanted to enter the Xuanji Pavilion to see her beauty, but they were all confused by the mountains and forests. Not one year after Aunt Hong lost her son, Bian Yujing brought the little Bai Lanshi back to Xuanji Pavilion and entrusted Aunt Hong to raise him. Aunt Hong saw the small and thin boy, and she couldn't stop crying.
When he was young, Bai Lanshi doubted whether his master was happy with Aunt Hong, so he picked him up on the street to appease the beauty's heart. When Bian Yujing heard this, he wanted to beat Bai Lanshi to death with a stick. It was only by coming forward that this farce was stopped. Aunt Hong really treats Bai Lanshi as her own son, and Bai Lanshi respects Aunt Hong as her biological mother.
"I came here this time to ask for your son. This child is a poor child. His parents are gone and he lives alone. He is still so young." Aunt Hong was supported by Bai Lanshi to sit down, her eyes were red, and she pulled The child patted the child's hand distressedly.
Bai Lanshi looked at the child knowingly, but the child was not afraid to look straight back, that appearance reminded Bai Lanshi of Qi Huan when he was a child, and chuckled, Aunt Hong didn't seem disgusted when she saw Bai Lanshi, Said: "This child is kind-hearted. He picked up Lu Yan's handkerchief and returned it to others. He is very sincere."
Bai Lanshi nodded warmly, "Do you have a name, child?"
Seeing the person with a gentle temperament in front of him, the child was not afraid anymore, shook his head as if making up his mind and said: "Please have mercy, my lord, I can do anything, and I can endure hardships for one or two."
Seeing the child like this, Aunt Hong felt even more distressed, while Bai Lanshi shook her head and said, "School is still the most important thing at such a young age. I will find you a teacher to teach you calligraphy someday."
The child opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and looked at Bai Lanshi in disbelief. Bai Lanshi thought for a moment and said, "How about calling you to write?"
Aunt Hong smiled and patted the child on the back, "Thank you, Young Master."
Shuyan hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, afraid that it would not be loud enough, and it would make Aunt Hong's heart hurt again. Bai Lanshi looked at Lu Yan, who was at the side with a look of disgust, and said: "I saw that this child has a lot of injuries. You have to take responsibility for the people you recruited." .”
Lu Yan was about to refute, but saw that Bai Lanshi couldn't hide the tiredness between his brows and eyes even though he was smiling, so he reluctantly said, "Got it, let's go to rest."
However, Bai Lanshi's energy was not good, he fell into a coma after touching the bed for a while, and he rubbed his eyes until dawn the next day and asked someone to wash up, and it passed like this for a few days.
Bai Lanshi was drinking tea and reading in the room, and when he saw someone coming, he asked without raising his eyes: "What's the matter?" Lu Yan knelt on the cushion and said: "The pavilion master sent people to send some nourishing medicinal materials, and let people Here is a sentence for you, the rain is about to come, and the wind is all over the building, I hope you will have a good time."
Bai Lanshi covered his thin lips with a book, laughed out loud, and said, "Master is still such a bad taste." Lu Yan nodded and said, "How can you deal with it, my lord?"
"Since we know it's going to rain, we should close the doors and windows in advance. Some people are anxious."
"Does the young master know something?" Lu Yan.
"It's time for King Kang to leave and return to Beijing." Bai Lanshi looked at the magnolias that had begun to wither in the yard, and smiled slightly.
Lu Yan suddenly remembered one more thing, "By the way, my lord, I still remember the words of the book." Bai Lanshi looked back at him, beckoning him to continue. "Recently, I checked his homework and found that there is something wrong with this kid. The article is extremely hostile, and it doesn't seem like a ten-year-old kid can write it."
After finishing speaking, he handed the manuscript to Bai Lanshi, and Bai Lanshi looked at the childish words on the paper, "I guess this child is not from an ordinary family, go and find out which families have exterminated the family in the past three years. .”
"Yes, but I'm afraid an ordinary gentleman can't teach this child." Lu Yan looked at Bai Lanshi with some embarrassment.
"How can you ask for me?" Bai Lanshi joked.
Lu Yanhuo went out, gritted his teeth and said: "After all, I brought this child into the mansion. I always have to be responsible, but you know me, my lord. When I see a child, my head hurts."
"Let me teach him, there is one condition." Seeing Bai Lanshi stretching his body proudly, he said slowly with a little cunning: "In the future, no bitter herbs are allowed in my soup."
Lu Yan looked at Bai Lanshi in front of him, and suddenly felt a little dazed. The young master seemed to be in a good mood, then shook his head and smiled, "No."
Although it was rejected, Bai Lanshi still taught Shuyan himself from that day on. After Shuyan knew that Lu Yan had taken away one of his articles, he was taken by Bai Lanshi's side to teach him. At first, Shuyan obviously rejected Bai Lanshi, but no matter how amazing the words in the book were, Bai Lanshi didn't blame him. This person relaxed a lot in the words.
