Bai Xuelan came out of the courtyard, pointed out the path as she walked, and gave some explanations to Xuan Huaifeng.

Xuan Huaifeng thought that when he first arrived today, he saw a gate guarded by soldiers and thought it was Bai Xuelan's house, so he almost got confused and wanted to jump off the horse on the spot.

After listening to Bai Xuelan's explanation, I realized that it was the home of Bai Xuelan's uncle.

It turned out that the five sons of the old man of the Bai family were divided into five houses, occupying the area of ​​two streets.Each household is a separate gate.If you want to go to another house, you have to go out of the gate of your own house, and then enter through the gate next door.

In this way, the family is separated on the surface, but the five-bedroom mansion is geographically connected.

There have never been many big families who have had many conflicts over the separation and non-separation of the family.

The Bai family's approach can be described as taking the middle route, dividing but not dividing.

As Xuan Huaifeng was walking, he suddenly remembered something, so he asked Bai Xuelan, "I remember when we were in the capital, you received a letter from your grandfather calling you back. Why aren't you busy visiting the old man?" ?”

Bai Xuelan said, "During the meal, I asked my mother. My mother said that the old man was not feeling well a while ago, so she called me back. Later, someone introduced me and invited a good doctor, and I was much better. Our family is chasing clouds. There is a villa on the mountain, and there is a hot spring nearby, which is the most suitable place for patients to recuperate in winter. The old man went to the villa the day before yesterday, and just missed my return. After two days, I have made all the arrangements, so I will naturally visit there .”

Bai Xuelan's fifth uncle's house is only half a street away, so he doesn't ride a horse, but just walks out of his own gate and along the street.

After walking for a while, he arrived in front of the gate of his fifth uncle's house. As usual, all guards with long guns stood upright.On the steps were two black-painted benches, on which three or four porters sat, rubbing their hands and warming themselves around a small charcoal stove.Seeing Bai Xuelan approaching, they hurriedly put down the charcoal stove, ran down the steps to greet her with a smile, and said hello.

Bai Xuelan casually took out a few banknotes from her pocket and rewarded them, pointing to the back and said, "They are all honoring Uncle Fifth, ask some people to carry them in."

The concierge smiled and said, "The gift that Master Xuelan brought back from the capital must be top-notch. We dare not call another person to come, so let's carry it in carefully so as not to bump into it."

Bai Xuelan let them carry it, and she was about to take Xuan Huaifeng to the gate, when suddenly a car drove up, creaked, and stopped right in front of Xuanbai and the others.

The car door opened, and two delicate young girls got out.

The girl walking in front, wearing a long soap-colored cheongsam, stopped when she saw Bai Xuelan, and called out, "Brother Xuelan, are you back?"

Seeing that it was her cousin, Bai Xuelan said with a smile, "It's Yuxiang. I just came back, so come and see Uncle Wu."

Sweeping his eyes to her side, he saw the other woman clearly. He was a little surprised in his heart, but his face was still graceful, and he nodded slightly at that woman.

Bai Yuxiang noticed that he was looking at him, smiled and shoved the woman next to her, "Why don't you talk? Last month when we were walking in the park, didn't you still mention Brother Xuelan and say that you never see him coming home? Now When people come to you, you will become a gourd instead."

The woman didn't know whether it was the cold weather or she was shy, her cheeks showed the lovely blush of a young woman, she cast a glance at Bai Yuxiang, then took a small step forward, and softly called, "Xue Brother Lan, long time no see."

Bai Xuelan also replied, "Long time no see."

He had a smile on his face, but he probably didn't want to talk to her more in his heart. He maintained his courtesy and made some basic greetings, then turned his head and asked Bai Yuxiang, "Why did you come back from outside with her? A letter from home said, You have been admitted to Shandong Women's Second Normal School, why don't you go to school today?"

Bai Yuxiang said, "Jingxuan's elder brother is gone, and the funeral is going on at home. I want to be her companion, and I will hand over the school's request for advice, and my husband has approved it."

Bai Xuelan asked in surprise, "Liao Hanfei is dead? No, I just met him in Dezhou City a few days ago, and he was very lively."

Xuan Huaifeng kept his duty as an adjutant, and stood upright behind Bai Xuelan, listening to orders.

He began to see Bai Xuelan calling Yuxiang, and knowing that this was one of the daughters of the Fifth Commander Bai Xuelan had mentioned, he thought that the other young woman was probably Bai Yuli, another daughter of the Fifth Commander.

Hearing Bai Xuelan's words, he suddenly came to his senses.

This is Liao Hanfei's younger sister!

No wonder Bai Xuelan's attitude was a little indifferent when she saw her.

Bai Yuxiang said, "It's not Brother Han Fei, it's her other brother who is gone. Liao Guoan is the adopted son that Uncle Liao brought with him since he was a child. His name was originally Zhang Guoan. It wasn't Uncle Liao who opened the ancestral hall and told his ancestors to officially change his surname to Liao. Is it? So, that is also Jingxuan's brother."

Bai Xuelan asked, "He is very strong, why did he die at such a young age?"

Liao Jingxuan saw that Bai Xuelan only exchanged a few words with her, and only talked to her cousin, knowing that he didn't mean to be close to her at all, so she couldn't help feeling wronged, and it would be meaningless to stand still, without waiting for Bai Yuxiang After talking with Bai Xuelan, she grabbed Bai Yuxiang's sleeve, shook her and said, "I'm leaving."

Bai Yuxiang asked, "Won't you go in and sit for a while?"

Liao Jingxuan said, "I'm doing white things at home. I took the car to take you home. If you don't hurry back to help, what are you doing here?"

Bai Yuxiang said, "You are the second young lady of the Liao family. Just shed a few tears in front of the coffin. What else can I do for you? You stay here for dinner, so you can talk to brother Xuelan..."

Before she finished speaking, Liao Jingxuan stomped her foot lightly, "I won't talk to you. I'm leaving."

He turned around, got short, and sat back in the car.

The driver went over and closed the door for her.

The car window suddenly opened again, revealing Liao Jingxuan's pretty face, and forced a smile, "I was in a hurry to leave, but I forgot to say goodbye to Brother Xuelan. Brother Xuelan, I'm leaving."

Bai Xuelan raised her eyebrows slightly, and replied with a faint smile, "Goodbye."

The car engine blared and drove away quickly.

Seeing that the car had gone far away, Bai Xuelan turned her head and asked Bai Yuxiang in a very relaxed tone, "Has everyone in the family reconnected with the Liao family?"

Bai Yuxiang said, "Didn't you sign some kind of peace agreement? Since there is no war, it is natural to deal with each other. Like everyone did when we were young, you, me, Brother Tianci, Brother Han Fei, and Jingxuan, how comfortable it is for everyone to play together. A few days ago I don't know why, you hit me, I hit you, and I became enemies when we met. Isn't it better now? Jingxuan is my good friend. Maybe in the future, I can go a step further and become my cousin. "

Bai Xuelan's last sentence to her cousin's ignorance made her want to punch someone with hatred. She felt Xuan Huaifeng's gaze shot over from the side, and slapped her in the face.

So, he was even more discreet, and smiled calmly, "Yuxiang, you probably didn't study in the Women's Normal School, but in the Political Science Academy. Did you hear what others said?"

Bai Yuxiang made a grimace, "I got it. Brother Tianci often said these things to his father, I heard them, why don't you just parrot me a few words?"

A servant came out from the gate and said to Bai Xuelan, "Master Xuelan, why are you standing outside the gate without moving your feet? The commander is listening to the opera inside, please come in."

Bai Xuelan said, "Let's go."

So he took Xuan Huaifeng and followed the servant to meet his fifth uncle.

Bai Yuxiang went back to her room by herself.
