The sound got closer and closer, and not long after, a pretty girl walked into the yard, followed by an anxious middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was the steward of the Bai family, a close confidant of Bai Haichao, and an old man in the Bai family's intelligence network. He knew about Bai Shuyu's affairs. Bai Haichao had previously told him to try not to let his family have contact with Bai Shuyu, and to show off to people in the world.
Unexpectedly, my own lady ignored this problem. She heard about it the day Bai Shuyu arrived. She only knew that the visitor was evil, but she had no chance to meet him. Her character has always been unruly. When a stranger entered her home, her father and grandfather were so angry that she, Bai Shuang'er, couldn't swallow it. Ignoring the housekeeper's dissuasion, he resolutely entered the courtyard.
Bai Shuyu looked at the pretty woman with an angry face in front of him, stood up and saluted calmly: "Shuyu has met cousin Shuang'er."
"Who is your sister?" Bai Shuang'er didn't appreciate it, "Does she still have anything to do with your Luoyang Bai family?"
Bai Shuyu smiled and said nothing. The housekeeper on the side was still trying to persuade his lady.
Bai Shuang'er said to the housekeeper: "Uncle He, please step back first, he can't eat me."
Butler He had no choice but to wink at Bai Shuyu, meaning: Please be patient. Then he left the yard.
Bai Shuang'er circled around Bai Shuyu, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "She is pretty. I'm afraid she wasn't nourished by the girls in Fireworks Willow Alley, right?"
Bai Shuyu smiled and replied: "I'm just born with a good skin."
"You have a smooth tongue and you are not a good person at first glance."
Bai Shuyu said, "Cousin, Shuyu is just here to stay for a few days, why should he be so angry?"
"How many days will you stay?" Bai Shuang'er was furious. "Our family has nothing to do with you for a long time. Now we are doing serious business. You have to come and let us get involved in this world. It's obvious that you are here." Harm us!"
"Don't say it so harshly, we are all family members," Bai Shuyu smiled. "It's true that your family is doing serious business, but we are indeed relatives, and that's right. There is nothing wrong with Shuyu visiting relatives. Bar?"
"You are very eloquent. Let me ask you, what if someone hates our family and knocks on our door because of this?"
"Doing business can offend people, so why aren't you afraid of others knocking on your door?"
"When doing business, you will get the most lawsuits! If you offend the charlatans, you will lose your head!"
"Cousin, are you afraid of death?"
"Not afraid."
"Isn't that enough? Just hit us."
"You!" Bai Shuang'er was so angry that she couldn't speak, "Here comes someone!"
The two servants trotted into the yard. Bai Shuyu was a little puzzled: Are you going to beat me?
Bai Shuang'er said to the two servants: "From now on, you two will stare at him with me! I will stare during the day, and you will stare at night and when I go to the toilet!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Bai Shuyu slapped his fan and said, "Very good!"
"What's good?"
"Isn't it a good thing that my cousin is so beautiful and beautiful that she is willing to stay with me all day? I have been away from Luoyang for so many days and just rushing on my way. I really feel bored."
Bai Shuang'er smiled and said, "Keep pretending, and I'll see how long you can last."
Bai Shuyu smiled bitterly in his heart: I'm almost acting like a hooligan. Cousin, please leave quickly and really don't get involved.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting angrily outside the small courtyard.
"Nonsense! Shuang'er!"
Not long after, Bai Linju walked in angrily. He pulled Bai Shuang'er to his side and lectured: "Lawless! How many times have I told you! Don't let anyone disturb the Third Young Master! You just don't listen!"
"Brother!" Bai Shuang'er was not afraid at all, "You and dad are afraid of him! I'm not afraid!"
Bai Linju apologized to Bai Shuyu: "Brother Yu, I made you laugh. Your sister Shuang'er has been spoiled by us. Don't be offended."
Bai Shuyu said with a smile: "Brother Lin Ju, my cousin is really good-natured, and she is here to teach you a lesson."
Bai Linju turned around and scolded Bai Shuang'er: "Apologise to the Third Young Master!"
"Apologise?!" Bai Shuang'er found it unbelievable that she didn't know the word "apology" when she was so old.
What to write.
Bai Linju asked back, "Don't you understand?!"
Bai Shuang'er suddenly felt aggrieved. Ever since she was a child, when had her brother spoken to her like this? Why is it that when Bai Shuyu comes, his father and brother seem to have changed? Grandpa is such a serious person. When she was a child, she dared to prick his beard, and she never saw him angry.
Bai Shuang'er was furious and ran out of the yard in tears.
Bai Linju shouted back two more servants.
Bai Shuyu whispered: "Brother Lin Ju, isn't it a bit too much?"
Bai Linju said: "It's not too much, just enough to kill her. Her arrogance has been there since she was a child."
Bai Shuyu smiled bitterly: "Brother Lin Ju, I am the younger one."
Bai Lin raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, just stay calm."
Bai Shuyu fanned twice and said, "I'm going to take a walk around Chuzhou. I've been here for a few days and I haven't seen the scenery of Chuzhou yet."
"I'll arrange for someone to take you there."
"No need, I'll just do it myself... I don't have any snobbish manners, and I don't take anyone with me when I go out in Luoyang."
"That's fine. It's really boring to stay at home all the time. I'll ask the accountant to prepare some silver for you."
"Don't worry, I have enough money when I go out."
Bai Shuyu left Bai's house in Chuzhou. After walking a few steps, he felt someone following him, two groups of people. One group of people had been following him since he left Luoyang, and the other group of people...Miss Bai Shuang'er had someone carry a sedan to follow Bai Shuyu, and they followed him openly.
Bai Shuyu didn't reveal it, and kept wandering around the streets and alleys of the city for more than an hour, with Bai Shuang'er still following him. She was not tired from sitting in the sedan chair, but the two bearers could not stand firmly. He walked like this for more than an hour without taking a break. Bai Shuyu was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. It was too torturous.
Walking to a secluded alley, Bai Shuyu sighed and stopped. The sedan behind him also stopped.
Bai Shuyu walked to the sedan and said helplessly: "Cousin, come out."
Bai Shuang'er opened the sedan curtain and said angrily: "What? Chuzhou belongs to your family? If you leave, I won't let you leave?"
"Of course not... something will happen if you two bearers leave."
Bai Shuang'er looked at the sedan bearer in front of her. His face was pale and he was sweating profusely. If he walked for a while, he would really collapse.
Bai Shuyu said: "Shuyu has practiced at least. Let alone an hour, he will not be tired after walking for two days and two nights. If you really want to follow me, I won't stop you. You can just get off the sedan and walk with me." Just take me to see Chuzhou."
Bai Shuang'er bit her lower lip and said, "Who is afraid of whom?"
After saying that, he got off the sedan and said to the two bearers, "You go back first."
"Miss..." The two bearers did not dare to leave their young lady behind.
"What are you afraid of? I can see the road clearly in Chuzhou with my eyes closed. Let's go back."
The two bearers had no choice but to carry the empty sedan home.
Bai Shuang'er stared at Bai Shuyu and said, "Let's go, I'll follow you."
Bai Shuyu had his hands behind his back and the fan in his hand was swaying casually, looking contented. Bai Shuang'er was behind him, staring at Bai Shuyu, fearing that he would slip away.
Walking on the street, Bai Shuyu suddenly said: "You have been staring at my fan."
Bai Shuang'er hurriedly moved her eyes away, and then wondered: How did he know? Eyes on your back?
Bai Shuyu said: "My cousin is not a dedicated person."
"How do you know I'm not paying attention?"
"I swayed the fan on purpose, and erratically, and my back is not pretty. What can my cousin see if he doesn't look at the fan? Those who are really following me won't pay attention to my small movements, such as the gray man in the street behind me. people."
Bai Shuang'er frowned and was about to look back, but at this moment Bai Shuyu suddenly said: "Don't look back, don't be discovered. They followed me all the way and I didn't expose them."
"Why don't you expose it?"
"What about after the revelation? Have a fight?"
"Kill them."
"Hehe," Bai Shuyu suddenly laughed, "How can killing someone be so simple?"
"Aren't all you people in the world like this?"
Bai Shuyu shook his head: "The arena is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships... I said, cousin, can you stay behind me? Can you follow me?"
"Why?"
"Those who don't know better think you are the maid I brought out."
Compared with being scolded by her brother, she could not accept being treated as a maid. She quickly took two steps and followed Bai Shuyu.
Bai Shuyu walked slowly and leisurely, seemingly taking care of Bai Shuang'er's pace, so the two of them walked for a long time, and Bai Shuang'er didn't feel tired...but she felt bored.
"You just keep walking aimlessly?"
"yes."
"Don't you want to see the scenery? There are some scenic spots in Chuzhou."
"What? My cousin wants to watch it with me so much."
Bai Shuang'er blushed and said, "Who wants to watch it with you?"
"I'm not interested in scenery. Seeing the scenery is worse than listening to the scenery. I just know there is such a place."
"Humph, I'm afraid the scenery won't be pretty without a girl by my side, right?"
Bai Shuyu was surprised: "Isn't my cousin a woman?"
"You! You compare me to those women!"
"Cousin, don't be angry, Shu Yu didn't take the girl to enjoy the scenery very often."
"So, you still brought it?"
Bai Shuyu thought for a moment: "That's true."
"I heard that you brought a brothel girl home just after the August Festival. Then you left the beauty at home and ran away from home alone."
"Hey...my biological sister was even more vicious than your cousin. She beat me all night long."
"When am I cruel..." Bai Shuang'er felt guilty even as she said this.
Then neither of them spoke. Bai Shuyu suddenly remembered that the last time he went shopping with the girl, he went to Luoyang City with Feicui. Compared to last time, his cousin was much more interesting... However, if there was a chance, he still wanted to go shopping with Jade and see if he could get the Jade girl to talk more.
They walked around until it got dark and the lanterns started to light up. Unknowingly, the two of them had arrived at the gate of Chuzhou City.
Bai Shuyu said: "It's getting late, let's go back..."
Bai Shuyu suddenly felt something was wrong. Although the surrounding shops had hung up lanterns, they were very quiet. You couldn't even hear the laughter and curses of the customers in the restaurant.
Bai Shuyu asked: "Cousin, is Chuzhou always so deserted at night?"
Bai Shuang'er looked around and felt a little puzzled: "No, it's usually very lively."
"Let's go quickly!"
Realizing that something was wrong, these people followed him. Sure enough, they were not just following him. In the surrounding shadows, figures and sword lights seemed to be flashing, and before they knew it, they were surrounded.
