I didn't tell Xu Xuanhang about the change in my mood, and he didn't take the initiative to ask me. I don't know if he felt that my mood was starting to become unstable.
I once asked Zixue about this question, and she said to me: "Even if the mood is destroyed, it is only temporary. As long as you pay attention to the cultivation of habits, you will come back sooner or later, and it will not be gone forever."
With Zixue's words, I feel relieved.
Due to my unstable mood that day, I basically couldn't do anything. In the evening, I simply asked Ah Wu to take me to the airport to wait for Bai Lixia and her daughter, just in time to relax.
When I wanted to go out, Xu Xuanhang asked me to bring the white fox with me as well, saying that he could protect me to some extent, and Zixue naturally didn’t want to stay at the hotel alone to accompany Xu Xuanhang, so he suggested to come with us. went.
It just so happened that I could also take Zixue to see something like an airplane. I only told her before that she had never seen it up close.
As for Xu Xuanhang staying in the hotel alone, it makes me think that he deliberately took us all away, and he seems to have some secret things to do. Even if I guess so, I don't dare to stay and monitor him. , with his ability, he can discover all my actions in minutes.
When we got to the airport, we ate something nearby and chatted in the car while waiting for Bai Lixia and her daughter to show up.
And when the plane fell from the sky, I pointed it to Zixue to briefly tell her, Zixue was also full of curiosity and surprise, and asked me what technique made the plane fly, I could only tell her two words: "science."
The chats between us were almost all small talk. In the middle, Ah Wu was still confused for a while, and he was yawning when he made a wish, and I was also infected by it.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost eleven o'clock. Bai Lixia called us after getting off the plane, so we left Zixue and Bai Fox in the car, and A Wu and I went to the exit to pick up Bai Lixia. and her daughter.
Bai Lixia was wearing a black coat with a slim cheongsam inside, very similar to the attire of an old Shanghai movie. Her daughter was seventeen or eighteen years old, with short hair and a pale complexion. She seemed to be in a very bad state of mind. The most important thing is that Her expression, her face was distressed, as if she was owed how much money.
Even when we introduced each other, she just said "oh" and said two words in English that I didn't understand, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
Bai Lixia's daughter is not bad, but she is a little fat. She wears a very loose down jacket, which makes her already fat body look even more bloated, but she seems to care.
This is in stark contrast to her mother's appearance-oriented attire. A girl who doesn't look like a mother, she should be in a period of rebellion now, and her relationship with Bai Lixia is not too good.
Seeing that her daughter's attitude was not good, Bai Lixia said to me: "Master Shi, don't be surprised, our family Jiaqi has been in a bad mental state recently. She couldn't sleep or eat because of that strange dream. Don't be surprised. "
I shook my head and said it was okay.
Bai Lixia's daughter is called Song Jiaqi. At first, I thought that her family's situation might be the same as that of Jin Xiaoying's family. The daughter would take her mother's surname.
After picking up Bai Lixia and Song Jiaqi's mother and daughter, we sent them directly back to their residences. Their residences are located in the southwest suburbs of Zhengzhou, far away from the urban area. As soon as you enter the yard for business, there are four golden characters written on the plaque at the entrance, "No Name House". When you enter the yard, you can see the Chinese-style tile-roofed house that is higher in the east than the west. The houses on both sides of the yard are written separately. Inking paper room and account room.
The room in the center was the main hall, where Bai Lixia used to negotiate business with important customers.
On the left side of the main hall, there is an aisle leading to the second entrance. The second entrance is where the residents and the kitchen are located. The chores who live here are all connoisseurs who know the rules of the road.
Passing through the second yard, to the third yard is where Bai Lixia usually lives. There is a modern garage behind it, where Bai Lixia's luxury car is parked, and we will live in the third yard of Bai Lixia's house tonight. .
And the three-entry yard also has a back door, which was specially designed for Bai Lixia's car.
We stayed at Bai's house. This was also when we sent Bai Lixia home. We received a call from Xu Xuanhang and he arranged it. He said that he had already vacated all the rooms at the hotel, and he would come to see us when he was busy at night.
It was very late when we arrived at the Bai's house, so we didn't alarm the Bai family's guys, but listened to Bai Lixia's brief introduction to the building, and entered directly from the back door.
The room was arranged, so I couldn't wait to go to Bai Lixia's room to ask some questions. I knew it was very late and they should rest first, but I was so irritable that I could not control my emotions. So although I knew it was inappropriate to ask now, I went anyway.
When I explained my intentions, Bai Lixia's daughter Song Jiaqi also looked impatient and said, "You are really impatient. You don't give others a chance to breathe, and you don't know the least etiquette."
I knew I was wrong, and I didn't argue.
Bai Lixia smiled and said: "Master Shi, don't be angry, Jiaqi may be tired, let her go back to the room first, what do you want to know, I will tell you slowly, as for Jiaqi If you want to know more about it, just ask her tomorrow."
I said "um" and watched Bai Lixia go to send Song Jiaqi to a room first.
On our side, I also asked Ah Wu to rest in the room arranged for him. As for Zixue, she refused to rest. She wanted to learn about the "case" with me. Does the white fox make a wish? Now as Zixue's pet/animal, Now I can't go to sleep when I'm in my arms.
It's just that it doesn't seem to be interested in the story, and looks at Wu to sleep, looking very envious.
Looking at the wish-making look, I couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Stupid fox, you don't know how many people envy you, Zixue is considered a little beauty anyway."
Zixue and I didn't say a few words. After a while, I heard Song Jiaqi say a few words to Bai Lixia very rudely, probably meaning to leave her alone and let Bai Lixia leave the room or something.
Bai Lixia said a few words in a soft voice, then retreated to the yard, adjusted her clothes, adjusted her breathing, and went back to the room.
Bai Lixia asked me what I wanted to know. After thinking about it, I asked a question that Xu Xuanhang could not tell me: "Can you tell me some stories about your great-grandfather and my master, my master said that their actions that time If you provoked a man named Huandou, it may be that Huandou came back to take revenge for your daughter's accident this time."
"Huandou!" Bai Lixia glanced at me, and then confirmed to me: "You are talking about one of the four sins, Huandou?"
I nodded. It seems that anyone with a slightly bookish scent knows the four sins, so there is no need for me to be so vague.
Bai Lixia thought for a while and said, "I know my great-grandfather and Xu Xianren know each other, but I don't know the specific friendship and affairs between them, but I heard my great-grandfather talk about some happy things. Son, it's very different from what I've seen in the history books, and if you want to hear it, I can tell you about it."
I nodded quickly and said, "That's fine. Anyway, this time is about Huandou. It's always good to know more about him."
Before telling the story, Bai Lixia asked me: "Have you heard about Huandou and the Four Sins? Can you briefly talk about it first, so that I can understand how much you know about history, and it is also convenient for me to grasp which part of the story should be detailed? , which part I will tell you roughly."
On this day, I also checked the information of Huandou.
It is said that Huandou was the leader of Sanmiao. Sanmiao was originally a tribe in the southern part of the Central Plains. Later, because of rebellion, they rebelled against the rule of the Huaxia tribe and fought with the Huaxia tribe. Under the leadership of Emperor Shun, the Huaxia tribe achieved the final victory victory, and the leader of the captured Sanmiao Huandou.
After that, the Sanmiao tribe was expelled to the land of Sanwei and Xirong, which is now the southwest and northwest. As for Huandou, they were exiled to Songshan, and here Songshan is not Songshan in Henan, but Songshan in Zhangjiajie, Hunan. This is where Huandou Tomb and Huandou Temple appear.
Legend has it that Emperor Shun expelled Sanmiao in order to make atonement for Sanmiao, change the customs and customs of Sanwei and Xirong, and make it closer to the Huaxia people, while Huandou was exiled in Songshan Mountain in the south to atone for his sins, and was responsible for educating the southern barbarians.
Emperor Shun's kindness also earned him the name of the Five Emperors.
I told Bai Lixia everything I knew, and she shook her head and said, "The story left by my great-grandfather is another version. Although I was still young when I heard that story, I have been proficient in various ancient books since I was a child. I still remember very clearly the feeling of being subverted for the first time.”
I asked Bai Lixia what the story was, but she didn't start telling the story, but instead asked me: "Do you think that after the Sanmiao rebellion is quelled, how many people in Sanmiao will listen to Emperor Shun and pass on folk customs for him? , to educate the southern barbarians? Especially Huandou, a tribal leader, would it be so easy to be released by Emperor Shun, or to be influenced by Emperor Shun? Moreover, Songshan Mountain in Hunan is also a place in the southwest, close to the place where Sanmiao was exiled. Would you be stupid enough to let the tiger return to the mountain?"
can you
I dare not answer, because Emperor Shun is one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and his sages are widely circulated. He may really be able to teach Sanmiao and Huandou...
Seeing that I didn't speak, Bai Lixia said, "This is a lie, but I don't think this lie affects the name of Emperor Shun's five emperors, because this lie is also benevolent."
What a lie!
