Aunt Hong felt sorry for Shuyan, and every day she made soup for Bai Lanshi with a copy of Shuyan. She fed the child with delicious food, and she finally looked better, and the scabs on her face fell off, making her look more delicate.

Shuyan wrote the articles arranged by Bai Lanshi on the table, while Bai Lanshi leaned on the tool and flipped through the letters written with anecdotes and anecdotes from all over the world. It was really interesting.

"Sir, the student finished writing." Shuyan put down his pen, and handed the paper with wet ink to Bai Lanshi. Bai Lanshi put the slip of paper on his knee, took the paper and read it. Bai Lanshi is always gentle and friendly to others President Yan is a little afraid of him, and now he is staring nervously at Bai Lanshi's face.

Bai Lanshi looked up at him, and the latter panicked, "The wording has improved, and the analysis of the article is not comprehensive enough, but you are already very good at your age and foundation here."

The book said, "Mr. is not angry."

"Why am I angry?" Bai Lanshi asked back.

Shu Yan curled his lips and said: "The previous masters were furious when they saw my articles, saying that I was cruel at a young age, so they punished me for copying many allusions about benevolence and virtue."

"They are them, I am me." Bai Lanshi dried the ink and folded it and put it in a small box beside it. Inside the small box was a finger-thick rice paper. These are all articles written by Shuyan, Bai Lanshi He is only allowed to write under his own eyes, and the articles must be kept by Bai Lanshi's side and are not allowed to be taken out.

Shuyan said happily: "Do you also agree with my point of view, sir?"

Bai Lanshi took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Skills are used to know traitors, and punishments are used to execute punishments. It's a good way to do it when the timing is right." Seeing stars appearing in Shuyan's eyes, Bai Lanshi said again: " There are many smart people, but they lost their lives by the tip of the horns. A gentleman must be talented and learn, but he should also know how to judge the situation."

Now this Daqi is a prosperous age, the people live and work in peace and contentment, are diligent and diligent, and when they are fed and clothed, they will not think about carelessness. If this is implemented, it will inevitably cause panic among the people, and everyone will be in danger, and it will inevitably explode in the backlog .

The words of the book were thoughtful, and Bai Lanshi knew that he had listened to it, so he stopped talking, and asked when he saw that the man's cuff was a little short, "Didn't Auntie Hong ask Lu Yan to take you to the tailor shop to add some clothes?" New clothes?"

Seeing that everyone in the house regards him as his own, Shuyan has taken care of the house early on, and from time to time he will act coquettishly to please others, so he is unhappy when he mentions this book, "He is always busy with this and that. , have no time for me at all.”

Extremely wronged, Bai Lanshi laughed lightly.

Bai Lanshi asked the servants to exchange for Lu Yan, and when Lu Yan came in, he caught a glimpse of the book on the side and jumped up, secretly thinking that something was wrong, the little beggar probably sued, and as expected, Bai Lanshi said: "You have worked hard recently, I will give you half a day off. Go out for a walk, and go out to make clothes along with the book."

Lu Yan waved his hands and hurriedly said: "My lord, you don't know that the child grows fast, and after a few days of making it, it becomes short again. It's better to wait for the clothes to be worn out before doing it."

Bai Lanshi smiled and said: "It's better not to take your wages, anyway, it's still useable, it's better to wait until you really can't get rid of the pot before sending it to you."

Lu Yan suddenly jumped up, "Cutting people's money is like killing their parents. My son, I sleep later than dogs and wake up earlier than chickens. Is it easy to work hard?"

In the end, Bai Lanshi coaxed and threatened Lu Yan to leave the house with the book, while he sat in front of the courtyard in a daze. The weather had warmed up, and Bai Lanshi could take off his heavy coat and put on a light spring dress. The cyan spring shirt looks fair and transparent, like a fairy in a painting.

The state of emptying his mind made Bai Lanshi extremely relaxed, squinting his eyes to feel the warm spring.

While he was in a daze, suddenly there was a bang, a person fell from the magnolia tree, and the startled petals fell from the branch one after another. Under the tree lay a person in a dark red dress, and it took him a long time to support himself. climb up.

Bai Lanshi sat on the spot in shock for a moment and didn't make a sound, when Rong Le who came with the peach blossom soup saw that outsiders entered the young master's yard, it doesn't matter whether it's three seven twenty one or five seven thirty five, Throwing away the tray in his hand, he went up to meet him. The fight between the two was in full swing, very intense.

Bai Lanshi looked for a while, there was such a bold assassin in the capital, it seemed that someone was impatient, the distance was a bit far, it was not real, Bai Lanshi rolled up his sleeves, got up and walked into the room.

"Brother...Brother is me." Bai Lanshi was taken aback when he heard Qi Huan's voice, then he pursed his lips and smiled. Naturally, Rong Le recognized His Royal Highness King Rui, and was surprised for a moment, but he didn't have any room to attack, he called out to the Gate of Fate, just in time to return the portion he had entered the palace with last time.

Bai Lanshi managed to suppress his smile, turned around and said, "Everyone stop."

The two immediately stopped and stood in line, Bai Lanshi looked at the Magnolia, which lost half of its flowers in an instant, and felt a little pity.

"Rong Le, you go down first, I have something important to discuss with His Royal Highness King Rui." Seeing Rong Le poking his neck and looking at himself, "Lu Yan took the book and made clothes, how much can you ask him for now?" A new style in Beijing." At the end, I added a sentence, "I have my own measure."

Rong Le glared at Qi Huan, and left with the peach blossom soup that had just been spilled, Bai Lanshi said with a light smile: "She is angry at me for protecting you, and she doesn't even leave me food."

Qi Huan patted the dust off his body, went into the room and sat down politely, Bai Lanshi poured a cup of tea for him to moisten his throat, and he drank it down in one gulp. "Why do you want to come here today, or in this way?" Bai Lanshi asked with a smile.

Qi Huan put down his cup, glanced at Bai Lanshi, then quickly turned his eyes away, pursed his lips and said, "I have been thinking about the relationship between us for the past few days, and now I finally figured it out, so I can't wait to come to see you." elder brother."

As he said that, he quietly glanced at Bai Lanshi, seeing that his expression was normal, he continued: "No matter what my brother becomes, he is still my brother, and he cannot become strange because of time or some external changes. Such feelings are too cheap. " Qi Huan still smiled as before, his eyes turned into the moon, revealing a looming little canine tooth, which is very cute.

Then he asked cautiously: "Can I still call you... brother... as before?"

Bai Lanshi was always afraid that Qi Huan would not want to associate with him due to the fact that he had left without saying goodbye in his heart, so he was unwilling to accept his plan. Hearing these words, his heart felt like a stone fell to the ground.

But now there is a problem again, this child smiles nicely and says he is innocent, but when he smiles badly, he looks like a child, no matter how he thinks about it, he is also being bullied, no wonder Tong Yuwan wants to ask Xuanji Pavilion for help.

When Qi Huan met the person in front of him and didn't answer for a long time, he secretly wondered where he said something wrong? Obviously, the deduction has been repeated in the past few days, so it shouldn't be wrong!

After a long time, Bai Lanshi finally said, "Yes, yes, but King Rui must not shout in front of others, it would be demeaning."

"All you have to do is listen to brother." His brows and eyes were curved, although he was good-looking, he was also silly. Bai Lanshi sighed slightly in his heart, it seemed that he had to worry more about his younger brother.

The two sat opposite each other, making tea, chatting and laughing. Bai Lanshi looked at Qi Huan, who had regular facial features and a youthful look in his eyes, gradually overlapping with the face of Xiao Tuanzi who was pouting and following him all day.

I thought Qi Huan would ask about his own affairs, or use past events to bring back memories and bring him closer.

But Qi Huan didn't. Instead, he babbled about what he had seen and heard and interesting things that happened in the past ten years all afternoon, which made Bai Lanshi laugh out frequently.

Lu Yan brought Shuyan to the tailor shop in a carriage, measured the size and made several clothes, and set a time to send them to the house. Shuyan followed closely beside Lu Yan, and did whatever the shopkeeper told him to do. He was very well-behaved and good-looking, which made the female shopkeeper praise her non-stop.

"Oh my goodness, this kid has really fair skin and a good figure." The female shopkeeper praised while measuring.

Lu Yan once again showed his talent of talking to people and talking nonsense when he sees people, and said with a smile: "Don't look at this kid as stupid, he can read this book very well, and his writing must be more charming than his peers. I can't teach this kid myself."

The female shopkeeper was surprised, she liked it even more in her eyes, she even grabbed several handfuls of caramel, wrapped them in paper bags, stuffed them to Shuyan, and sent them away with a smile.

The carriage drove towards the restaurant with the best reputation in Beijing.

"What you said is true." Shu Yan, who was holding maltose in the carriage, asked.

"What?" Lu Yan raised his head upon hearing this.

Shuyan said impatiently: "It's you and the shopkeeper who praised me."

Lu Yan sneered and said, "You believe it. You can read your words at most. If your words are not amazing, you will die endlessly. The teacher is not angry with you. Don't take it seriously when you praise you in front of outsiders."

Shuyan clutched the paper bag and didn't talk, Lu Yan knew it hurt the child's self-esteem but didn't care. The carriage stopped in front of a five-story house, and the smell of food wafted in. There were two red lanterns hanging on both sides of the plaque at the door, and the plaque was engraved with Zuixianglou, which was very impressive.

After getting out of the carriage, suddenly a few beggars as big as Shuyan rushed out from the corner, they were all dark, staring at Shuyan with disbelief, and said, "How can Gousheng climb a high branch and give it to the brothers?" Forgot." Looking at the clothes of the man beside Shuyan, he knew in his heart that he was either rich or noble, and they exchanged a look.

Seeing these people, Shu Yan's face instantly turned pale, he rubbed the hem of his clothes, his lips were tight, and he looked at the beggars with hatred. Lu Yan at the side saw Shuyan's shoulders and felt the tightness of the person. He smiled and said to the beggar who had just led the conversation: "Do you know each other?"

The man smiled and said: "I know you, sir, you don't know that this kid almost froze to death on the side of the road, or I dragged him back and gave him a stutter to survive." superior.

"Oh? It seems that I want to thank you for taking care of Shuyan." Lu Yan held the dark-faced Shuyan and led the beggar into the Zuixiang Building. The tourists around spurned him, but the waiter in the shop wanted to chase him away, but when he saw Lu Yan throwing out a heavy purse, he immediately burst into a smile, and led him into the private room without hesitation, where a table of big fish and meat was served, and a jar of vintage wine was opened.

The beggars have never seen this before! They immediately let go and ate, eating meat and wine, so happy.

Lu Yan was drinking tea at the side, seeing that Shuyan hadn't touched the bowls and chopsticks, he whispered in his ear, "But it's not to my taste." Shuyan stared at him and didn't speak, Lu Yan also smiled and continued to lean against the window in a daze, with an indifferent expression.

Seeing a few people stuffing the leftovers into their pockets after drinking and eating, they couldn't help laughing: "Someone will pack them later, some of the bags don't need your pockets."

Several beggars smiled awkwardly. The beggar who took the lead in talking just now was named Huzi. Huzi pressed Shuyan's shoulder with his greasy hand after catching the roast chicken. The latter frowned in disgust. Huzi glanced at Lu Yan who was leaning against the window. , and then he could barely suppress his anger, "God left, you have made a great success, don't forget me, a beggar benefactor, a bunch of brothers are counting on you."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said with a smirk, "Did you hear that, the kindness of a drop of water is quite repayable."

Seeing the nobleman facing him, Hu Zi became more confident, and straightened his back a lot, "I see you are dressed in extraordinary clothes, so you must have some of your own savings, so I will repay you with some."

The anger that had been suppressed in Shu Yan's heart for a long time finally erupted, he slapped the table and shouted: "There is no end, I still have little for you!" The mouth is only left and the chest rises and falls back and forth, showing the master's current anger.

Huzi got angry at such a roar, let alone in front of his younger brother and nobles, grabbed Shuyan by the collar and raised his fist towards his face, Shuyan clenched his back teeth and stared at him. On Huzi's face, the fist didn't fall down, and the beard, which was numb from Lu Yan's fan, couldn't lift his whole arm.

"Today, I have spent a lot of money to invite everyone to have a good meal. It is considered that Shuyan has officially repaid his kindness. In the future, everyone will go their own way. If you want to harass Shuyan again, you must make this meal Return the rice money to me, or spit out the food." The last sentence was extremely cold, and Lu Yan threw the fan on the table in disgust without even looking at it, and threw the man into the room with Shuyan by the back collar. got the carriage.

Seeing that Shuyan still had a gloomy face, Lu Yan smiled and said: "Doesn't the dog have a name? You have to tell us." Shuyan kept his face sullen and ignored Lu Yan all the way, until the gate of the house, he used a small voice that could not be heard. After saying thank you, Lu Yan would have thought it was an auditory hallucination if he hadn't seen the person's mouth move.

Everyone lowered their faces and thanked him, and Lu Yan didn't want to tease him anymore, he wanted to teach this silly boy like an old father, but before he could speak, he saw someone dragging the caramel bag and rushing out of the carriage.

Lu Yan passed by the yard and saw Aunt Hong and said: "Aunt Hong Shuyan hasn't eaten yet, I'll trouble you to get some for him later." Aunt Hong blamed, "Why didn't you take someone out to eat?"

"Aunt Hong, please be considerate and considerate of me!" Lu Yan was very wronged, "I have spent all my money to buy clothes for this kid, and I don't even know what to eat tomorrow!"

"Throw things away at every turn, no amount of money can stop you from making it like this." Then he said softly: "Auntie won't give you money, but come to Auntie if you don't have food, Auntie doesn't need your mouth."

"Aunt Hong, that's what you said. I'll go to your place tomorrow to grab a meal until the wages are paid next month." Lu Yan hugged Aunt Hong and sent him back to the courtyard where he lived before going to the main house around the corner.

Seeing the faces of the people in the room stunned for a moment, Bai Lanshi still had a smile on his face, and introduced: "This is His Royal Highness King Rui, and this is the person in charge of my mansion, named Lu Yan."

"Lv Yan see His Highness King Rui." Lu Yan bowed in a polite manner. Qi Huan glanced up and down with a smile, and said to Bai Lanshi with a smile: "This king looks familiar."

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "The villain has been a public face since I was a child, and when I was walking, I would meet a few people who came up to call me brother and brother. Once a woman regarded me as a heartless person, and chased the villain for several streets with a stick. , I was so scared by the villain that I didn't dare to go out for half a month."

Qi Huanlang smiled, nodded his hand and said: "My brother is surrounded by interesting people."

Hearing Qi Huan's address to the son, Lu Yan glanced at Bai Lanshi in surprise, then quickly lowered his head to cover up his emotions.
