When Qiu Yunping first came to Caogang, he looked down and out. He was raised by the Bai family's rice and white noodles for a few years, and he finally looked like a man. people.
Bai Shiqi looked at him as he walked, causing Qiu Yunping, who was unaware, to feel uneasy in his heart: "Seventeen, why are you looking at me with that kind of eyes?"
"Which?"
Qiu Yunping felt that it was not appropriate enough, and finally managed to find a word: "eyes with bad intentions." He was quite good at self-reflection: "This time, the cargo account book for the transportation back and forth is correct, don't look at me and drink it. Two, I was very awake when I was doing the billing."
Bai Shiqi said in his heart: I want you to know the plan of Gang Leader Bai, and I'm afraid to scare you to death!
She also felt that she had a compassionate heart, patted Qiu Yunping on the shoulder and told him: "Recently stay away from Gang Master Bai, he is in a bad mood, don't come to me crying if you get beaten up!"
Qiu Yunping had seen the lethality of the leader of the Bai gang, and he was as stubborn as Bai Shiqi couldn't stand it, let alone him.
He shrank his neck and asked in advance: "Is it because there is something in the gang that makes the gang leader unhappy? Or... Seventeen, you're making the gang leader unhappy again?" The first four concubines of Bai Shiqi's whereabouts are unknown, showing a worried look, and hesitantly said: "Seventeen, in fact... In fact, Song Si Niang is really a poor person, can you see it as a friendship with everyone? Come on, ask for mercy in front of the gang leader Bai, and give her a shelter, don't send her away casually?"
Bai Shiqi approached him and joked, "Are you worried about the fourth lady of Song?"
Qiu Yunping's facial features are not deviated, with shallow eyebrows and narrow eyes, and his eyes have a little inner double, which can only be called handsome and upright. Seventeen said without boasting that with her current appearance in men's clothes, the two of them stood together, and the little ladies would only choose her and ignore Qiu Yunping.
Qiu Yunping blushed at her teasing, and stammered, "Everyone knows each other, why can't you bear to let her go where she shouldn't?"
Bai **le: "Tell the gang leader Bai about this, I can't control him!"
Bai Zhenting didn't know what to think. He heard from the servant at home that it was Bai Shiqi who went to Zhao Wu Jiu's residence and made an excuse to send Qiu Yunping to call him back. He thought that thanks to the fact that he and the Su Clan had already picked someone for Bai Shiqi recently, they would have a suitable excuse at that time.
The two walked into the study side by side, and he was not without regret to discover that, in terms of appearance, Qiu Yunping was really bleak in front of his own cub, and even the two of them would be equal in height.
There were two thick stacks of account books on the table in the study. He pointed to them and said, "The two of you have checked all the accounts that have been sent from various places in the gang in the past few months." You Qi warned Bai Shiqi: "No Don't think about running around like crazy when you're done."
When Bai Shiqi came back to Suzhou, it was as if a thorn had been stabbed under his butt, he couldn't sit still, he wished he would take Zhao Wu Jiu out for a while. Besides, Bai Zhenting's move was too obvious. He was probably very proud of keeping her and Qiu Yunping in the same room for checking accounts, right
"Dad, if you have anything to do, go first, and I will send someone to tell you when the check is over." She pushed Bai Zhenting out of the room, closed the door neatly, lay down on the couch behind the screen, and instructed Qiu Yunping: "You are familiar with the accounting, do it slowly, my father values you very much."
Since Qiu Yunping became Bo Shiqi's valet, he only worked on Bo Shiqi's private accounts or the accounts of escorting Caoliang to the north to sell goods, but he had never been in contact with the accounts within the Cao Gang. The accounts belonged to the confidant of the gang leader Bai, and the emotions were a little excited for a while. If Bai Shiqi said, did the gang leader Bai discover his talent and was ready to entrust him with important tasks
He took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves and sat in front of the round table to prepare for a big fight to repay the attention of the gang leader Bai.
At the same time, Bai Zhenting proudly returned to the backyard to announce the good news to Su's family: "I made an excuse to lock the two of them in the study and let them have more contact."
Su Shi is a woman after all, and the consideration is more delicate: "...You locked Shi Qi and Qiu Yunping in the study? Isn't it good for Shi Shi?" After all, she is a daughter. Be careful, right
Bai Zhenting: "My wife is worried about the wrong thing. What's wrong with Seventeen? I'm also afraid of what she will do to Qiu Yunping! What you should be worried about is Qiu Yunping!"
Su Shi suddenly remembered what Bo Shiqi had to frighten her, and she felt her heart skip a beat, as if she had seen Bo Shiqi pinching Qiu Yunping's neck to commit murder, and she would go over to take a look at it every hour and three: "Hu Lai! Although I was ventilated here, she didn't agree to come down, and even threatened to kill Qiu Yunping and throw him into the canal, so as not to kill anyone."
"She dares?!" Bai Zhenting raised his eyebrows, but he was also afraid that Bai Shiqi would catch Qiu Yunping and beat him up, which would frighten him and ruin the marriage. Still in a hurry: "Go, go, go!"
The couple hurried over and listened carefully. The study room seemed to be very quiet, and they kept muttering in their hearts. When they opened the door, they found that Qiu Yunping was sitting at the table checking the tent, but Bai Shiqi was nowhere to be seen.
Bai Zhenting was furious: "What about that little brat?"
Qiu Yunping saw that he was in a hurry to get angry, and his wife, who was usually responsible for putting out the fire, did not persuade him, so he quickly explained: "Young gang is resting behind the main screen. It is said that the wound on his body hurts badly."
Bai Zhenting clearly didn't believe it: "Don't she run out to play again?" After walking around the screen, he found that Bai Shiqi had taken a quilt from the inner room and hugged his neck tightly. Sleep, such a big movement did not wake anyone up.
Su Shi took a look and complained to her husband again: "You are too, when can't check the account, if you have to close the account as soon as you get back at Seventeen, she can't let the child rest after going out for a few months and tired all the way?" The high bed in the room was too soft to sleep, and he shrunk his legs to doze on the small couch, looking a bit pitiful.
Bai Zhenting: "..."
Su Shi pushed her in the past: "Wake up at Seventeen, go back to the room to sleep?"
In fact, the door of the study was pushed open and Bai Shiqi heard it. She didn't sleep at all, but she was just pretending. She also blamed her eyes for being able to deceive people. With a bit of confusion, he asked in surprise, "Mother, why are you here?"
Mrs Su scolded the evil and felt distressed that she had been working hard for several months when she went out, and she couldn't sleep peacefully when she came back: "It's your father who doesn't know anything, so why did you come back to check the account? There's no accountant in the gang? I'll get up soon. Go back to sleep?"
Bai Shiqi hugged the quilt and didn't move, and was very considerate of the gang leader Bai: "Father may not be too worried about the accounts made by outsiders, so he wants me to help verify it, I'm just a little tired, you two go back first, Let the kitchen bring some wine, vegetables and snacks, tonight we have to stay up all night to do the billing, and no one will come to disturb us."
Su Shi complained to her husband with her eyes, "Even if you let Qiu Yunping come in, you don't have to rush for a while." Bai Zhenting's full of pain has nowhere to say. He grabbed the two of them to get married in three minutes, and dragged Su Shi to go back to the room, and said stubbornly: "What's wrong with the young man? I'm tired of crying? Besides, I'm also old, why don't my wife feel distressed and distressed? Me? Hurry up and ask the kitchen to bring snacks and drinks, and I'll come and see you tomorrow."
Su Shi was reluctant to be taken away by Bai Zhenting, and Bai Shiqi said proudly, "I knew that the gang leader Bai was seriously ill, always suspected that I ran away, and would definitely kill a carbine, so I really guessed it right! "
Qiu Yunping: "..." As expected of father and son.
After a while, the kitchen brought over wine, vegetables and snacks, and there was a small red clay stove on which tea was boiled. After everything was prepared, the butler asked carefully, "Master, what else do you need to prepare?"
Bai Shiqi waved the person back, closed the door and said with a smile, "Mr. Yunping, am I being funny? The food and drinks are ready for you, please enjoy it slowly!" She opened the back window and jumped out.
Before Qiu Yunping could say her words of thanks, she was startled by her escaping gesture: "Seventeen, where are you going?"
Bai Shiqi: "Ziheng and I haven't seen each other for a long time. My good brother came to Suzhou. If I didn't say hello, it would be too boring." She patted the shoulder of Qiu Yunping, who was chasing after him: "I'll leave it to you here. In case... I mean if someone comes in to add tea and pour water, if you ask, you can say that I'm resting on the couch in the back." She jumped up the window and said to herself, "I'm the one who climbs the wall and slips through the window. It's a pity not to be a flower thief!"
Qiu Yunping watched in shock as she jumped out of the window. There was a dense bamboo forest behind, and soon disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest. At this moment, the sun was setting, the bamboo leaves were swirling, and there were no guards everywhere. Although the shelf of the study was full of books , but they were all the tomes in the bookstore outside. Bai Zhenting didn't know much, so he just put it up as a facade. He looked around at the surroundings and could only sigh resignedly. He closed the window and drank two glasses of wine first. After some dishes went down, Gu Ying didn't have time to feel sorry for himself and sighed alone to write a sour poem, so he went into the busy work of checking accounts.
The candles in the study were lit all night.
Two flowers bloomed, and Bo Shiqi managed to escape, dodging the servants and guards in the courtyard, reaching into Zhao Ziheng's courtyard, leaning on the window and shouting in a low voice, "Ziheng—your painkiller is here!"
Zhao Ziheng opened the window, she rushed in from outside the window, and closed the window with her backhand, looking left and right in the inner room, he was the only one wearing a middle shirt, and he easily sat on the table.
"What about painkillers?"
Zhao Ziheng thought she had brought wine again, and looked at her, but there was nothing, quite disappointed: "Didn't you say you brought me painkillers?"
Bai Shiqi said mysteriously: "The painkiller is not at home, if you want to take it, you have to go over the wall."
Zhao Ziheng said indignantly, "Come on? You're here to lie to me again! Throwing a mouse into my cousin's cabin, I was the one who got beaten up. Did you think of a way to punish me again?" He kept saying a few words about his good brother, and the real person couldn't help it even more in front of him.
Bai Shiqi held back a smile and said, "Isn't this story already turned over? A manly man still cares about such a trivial matter? I came to you today to make up for you!" She winked her eyes: "Understand? "
The two of them were in a good mood, and Zhao Ziheng raised his eyebrows with joy: "Jiang Xiaoxian?"
Bai Shiqi clasped his hands and said, "Otherwise, how can we say that we are brothers?" He looked around in his room: "Do you have any clothes here, do I need to change them? Play as your entourage and walk out the front door struttingly."
Zhao Ziheng tidied up, and first set aside the guards who were guarding outside the yard: "Go tell my cousin, it's still early, I'll go to my grandfather's house, and I'll be back tomorrow morning, so I won't delay things."
That personal guard went to report to Zhao Wu Jiu, and thought he was waiting for him to go out with him, but when he returned to the yard where he lived, he found that the building was already empty. He went out with a guard, and thought he was bringing a servant of the Bai family, and went back to report to Zhao Wu Jiu.
Zhao Wu Jiu: "A servant of the Bai family?"
Shu Changfeng: "Thirteenth Lang is on good terms with Young Master Bai. Maybe he borrowed someone from her. Besides, our people are not familiar with Suzhou City, but people from the Bai family are always more familiar with Suzhou City."
Zhao Wu Jiu asked the guard again, "Is Thirteenth Lang intending to go to his grandparents' house on a temporary basis, or did he send someone to look for Young Master Bo?"
Guard: "Thirteenth Lang has been resting since he returned to the room. He didn't send the younger one to find the gang leader Bai Shao. It seems that he only wanted to go out after he woke up and remembered."
Zhao Wu Jiu: "Have you prepared the ceremony yet?"
Guard: "There are no valuables in the guest room, so there should be no preparations. Originally, my subordinates wanted to accompany Thirteenth Lang to the street to buy gifts after reporting to the master."
Zhao Wu Jiu: "Go and see if Young Master Bai is still in the mansion?"
The personal guard went and returned: "Master Bo and Mr. Yun Ping checked the accounts in the Bo family's study."
Zhao Wu Jiu: "Have you seen the leader of the gang master Bai Shao?"
Guard: "There are two guards left by Gang Master Bai at the entrance of the study. They say that the Young Gang Master has an order to check the account all night, and it is forbidden for idlers to disturb them."
*********
Zhao Ziheng led Bai Shiqi, who was stooping and bowing his head, out of the gate of Bai's house unimpeded. In addition, as the night fell, lights were lit everywhere in Bai's house, and the light was dim. out of the house.
Both of them had stick wounds on their legs. Although it was unnecessary to walk, they hired a carriage at the intersection and went straight to Jiang Xiaoxian's residence.
Jiang Xiaoxian has been listed for one year, because of her excellent color and art, especially her graceful singing voice, she has become popular all over Suzhou City.
Today is also the luck of the two of them. Jiang Xiaoxian was a little uncomfortable with the cold wind blowing on the painting boat on the river two days ago. It only got better today, so he did not dare to go to the river to blow the cold wind, so he did not go to the painting boat and only entertained guests at home.
