Republic of China small businessman

Master Jiu had no shortage of good things at hand, Guo Yizhen sent them only a few old wild ginseng, as for the antiques, he added a few more and put them in the gift box, made up a box, and sent someone to send it to Bai Ming Yu.

Although Bai Mingyu was born in Qinghe, his family has always been rich since he was a child. After playing with these things, he became less concerned. Seeing that the hollowed-out brooch inlaid with diamonds and rubies was pretty good, he wanted to choose a few more to make a box, but the rest It was either a pearl or an emerald. It looked a little old-fashioned, so after thinking about it, I only took this, and asked someone to find a small box of golden nanmu.

Kou Peifeng brought the box over, and was about to hold the brooch and put it inside, when he heard Bai Mingyu's order: "Go get another white silk handkerchief, and put it inside carefully."

Kou Peifeng quickly agreed, put it away as he said, and showed it to him: "Master, is this okay? If you give it to someone, do you have to wrap it up again?"

Bai Mingyu blushed, glared at him and said, "What nonsense, who is going to give it away!" Although he said so, he reached out and snatched the small box, "I'm going out, no one is allowed to follow, hear without!"

It was drizzling outside, and the spring cold was still unresolved.

Bai Mingyu asked the driver to drive to the provincial government car dealership, got off the car early and waited at the door, thought for a while before raising his hand to knock on the door.

The door rang a few times, and the people inside came to open the door, but they were told that Bai Hongqi had gone out on business and hadn't returned yet.

Bai Mingyu didn't go in either, but he didn't want to leave easily. He stood outside and waited for a while, frowning and didn't know what he was thinking there. His clothes were soaked by the drizzle and he didn't respond.When Bai Hong came back, she saw such a stupid goose standing at the door of her car dealership with her sleeves in a daze. She couldn't help but smiled and called him: "Bai Er, you came to find me? Why? Don't go in and wait, stand outside in the rain, and don't worry about catching cold."

Bai Mingyu saw her stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and subconsciously said: "Who said I came to look for you, but I was just passing by..." After speaking, his voice gradually became weaker, Miss Bai walked in front, and he followed behind, moving forward. After leaving the small reception hall, there was only a little humming, and the mouth was still stubborn, "I just heard that you went back to Nanfang a few days ago, and you went back and forth on both sides. I don't know what happened, so I wanted to come and ask, and this ,for you."

The last few words were spoken quickly, and he took out the small box from his sleeve and handed it over.

Bai Hongqi was a little surprised, but still took it over to thank her, and said with a smile: "You still gave me something, I should give you a thank you gift."

Bai Er was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

"I've heard about the Yugang incident. You did a good job and handled it better than I did. I underestimated you before." Miss Bai looked at him and said softly, "I thank you on behalf of grandma, no matter what. , I owe you a favor."

Bai Mingyu didn't expect her to say that, he waved his hands in a panic, and said after a while, "I, I wanted to apologize with you, I don't know about your family, it was my fault for talking nonsense, I Why don't I accompany you." He bowed his hands and saluted, and made Bai Hongqi laugh. The girl sat there and looked at him for a while, with a smile on her lips, "So you are not a bad person, and I am also wrong when I say it. , I always targeted you before, and I will accompany you."

Bai Mingyu had never seen her so gentle and careless before, he was dazzled by that smile for a moment, he was bewildered, he just felt that his soul had been coaxed away, what would Miss Bai say now, he just nodded , barely said a few words to maintain the usual momentum.

Bai Hongqi drank a pot of green tea with him, chatted for a while, and said to him, "There are a few new cars in the dealership, I think they're pretty good, I'll let someone take you to have a look. If it’s fancy, go for it, I still have to go out beforehand.”

Bai Mingyu stood up and asked, "Where are you going?"

Miss Bai said: "I went to Yucheng Society. A few days ago, Boss Shang complained. Xiao Xie asked me to find some herbs. I just got them together. I plan to send them to Boss Shang."

Bai Mingyu became vigilant all of a sudden, he had heard of Shang Yulou's play before, and he didn't hear anything about his voice, but as soon as Shang Yulou made an appearance, there would be quite a few girl fans giving gifts, and flower baskets could be lined up along the wall for a long time .He said to Bai Hong: "You have a lot of things to do and are busier than me. These two days, Master Jiu just gave me a holiday. I have nothing to do. Let me run for you."

"This is too much trouble for you."

"No trouble, I just love to listen to operas. When I was studying, I used to climb over the wall and go out to listen."

"..."

If this person didn't take it for granted, Bai Hongqi would have thought she had misheard. How could someone say such a shameless thing without changing his face?

Bai Mingyu didn't care, after asking for the medicinal materials, he went to the troupe himself and delivered them to Shang Yulou.

Boss Shang's voice was a little hoarse. Seeing Bai Mingyu coming to deliver the medicine, he thanked him again and again. Bai Mingyu asked sideways. Hearing that Shang Yulou only wanted to thank Xie Jing, he was convinced that it was really something Xie Jing entrusted. The heart slowly let go.

Shang Yulou was very grateful for receiving the medicine, and said to him: "I originally wanted to go to the White Mansion to deliver some crabapple fruits to Xiao Xie, but since the Second Young Master is here, I will trouble you to bring them along with me, and next month I will accompany you Chai Xuehe and the others have a performance, here are some theater tickets, let’s express our gratitude, and invite the second young master and Xiao Xie to come and join us."

Boss Shang is rare and generous. He gave all the theater tickets with good seats in the front row, which are worth two rows. He thought he had prepared them originally and planned to give them to Xie Jing to give to friends.

Bai Mingyu accepted the theater tickets, and took a basket of crabapple fruits back to the East courtyard slowly.

He is still beautiful in his heart.

I thought to myself, it would be great if my aunt would be so gentle every day in the future, smiling at him, no, laughing like this once in a while, such trivial things as running errands are nothing.

Bai Mingyu returned to the East Courtyard. He knew him well in the courtyard, and he walked in without anyone notifying him.

After passing the arched door with hanging flowers, the inner courtyard is quiet, and there is no one waiting outside the study.

Bai Mingyu felt strange, but he didn't think much about it. He walked over with the basket in his hand, and when he passed by the window, he suddenly saw two figures inside. He stared at them, seeing them approaching, and slowly kissed each other.

In the study, Xie Jing felt that something was wrong, and looked out of the window, but saw nothing except the old tree in the courtyard that had just sprouted.

Jiu Ye pinched his earlobe with his fingers, only looked at him, and laughed in a low voice: "What's the matter, I wanted to sneak away just now, even if the rain stops outside, the ground is muddy and slippery, so I can't go riding a horse on the mountain."

Xie Jing looked away, sat on his lap, and wanted to look out the window.

Master Jiu squeezed his neck and turned around, bowed his head and kissed him for a while, Xie Jing wanted to say something at first with a "huh", but soon he was so absorbed in it that he forgot what he wanted to say.

Bai Mingyu stood outside against the wall, closed his eyes, and scolded himself in his heart.

He didn't know why, the people inside were not afraid, but he himself was afraid first, his body turned faster than his mind, and he immediately hid himself by the wall, not daring to move, and now his calves were soft.

Bai Er was in a panic.

I couldn't tell what it was like for a while, but I was jealous, so I tried to get an explanation awkwardly.

He didn't dare to look for Master Jiu, so he went to block Xie Jing.

It wasn't until noon that Bai Mingyu blocked Xie Jing at the small gate of the East courtyard. Xie Jing had already changed into a suit of clothes, and looked as if he was about to go out.

Bai Mingyu kicked on the door frame, stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xie Jing glanced at him and said, "Go home, what's the matter?"

Bai Mingyu stared at him carefully, saw that his cheek was blushing, stretched out his hand and sneered, "What's the matter?"

Xie Jing dodged a little, but the place was narrow and he didn't dodge completely. He was touched and frowned and said, "Bug bitten, what's wrong with you today?"

Bai Mingyu wanted to refute, but it felt like a small bulge. He looked at it suspiciously for a long time, and found that it was really bitten by insects. : "I delivered medicine to Boss Shang for my aunt today, and I came back a while ago."

Xie Jing didn't know, so she looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

Bai Mingyu was upset, looked at him for a long time, and gritted his teeth word by word: "I'm going to the opera troupe today, and I came back early."

Xie Jing misunderstood the theater troupe when he heard it. He thought Bai Er was talking about "White Ape Offers His Birthday" back then, so he paused for a moment and asked, "You know everything?"

Bai Mingyu said coldly: "I have seen it with my own eyes, I have heard it with my own ears, and I know it perfectly!"

Xie Jing considered it carefully and said: "Actually, I have already talked about this matter with my master."

Bai Mingyu was very surprised: "You agreed to this matter after you said it?!"

Xie Jing was inexplicable: "Why didn't you agree? Although I didn't tell you at first, it was actually for your own good."

Bai Mingyu laughed angrily. Xie Jing approached his ninth master for his own good?He would like to hear what this little Xie can tell.

Xie Jing said slowly: "Those eleven children were born too hard and suffered a lot. Although you received them in the mansion, you still have to give them a bowl of food so that they can stand on their own in the future. I made up the Monkey show, let them appear on the stage of Shangyu Tower, I originally thought they could only sing, so even if Boss Shang doesn't take him in, I can make a living for myself anyway, so it's your birthday..."

The more Bai Mingyu listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and his brows were furrowed: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about, monkey show?"

Xie Jing paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Why, you didn't mean 'White Ape Offers His Birthday'?"

Bai Mingyu: "...That's not my birthday, did you specially rehearse it for me?!"

Xie Jing pursed her lips and remained silent.

"You even kept the monkey show from me! Xie Jing, I don't know that you still have such scheming, how many things do you keep from me? You clearly said that it was for me to watch alone, How come my birthday banquet has become a place for you to save people again!" Bai Mingyu was anxious and angry, and rolled up his sleeves to grab his collar, but Xie Jing dodged one step ahead of him, watching Xie Jing standing in front of him Raising his hand to fight back, all the grievances turned into anger and burned away the last trace of reason. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, let's fight!"

Bai Er didn't choose the right place for the fight. Firstly, it was the East Courtyard, and secondly, it was very close to the guards. Usually there are guards patrolling the small gate, but he was stopped when he just started.Bai Er didn't let go, and Xie Jing didn't let him go. Although he didn't yell at the second young master, he didn't let the other party go at all. He took advantage of his strength and gained the upper hand.

When he was pulled away, Bai Er didn't give up, and shouted: "Don't call me out if you have the guts, fight with the young master for real, come on!"

Xie Jing wiped the corner of his mouth, looked at him and said in a low voice, "I thought you were inferior to me only in reading." He had been beaten by Bai Mingyu a lot before, and when it really happened, Bai Er was really no match for his brute force , but fortunately, he has experience and is very familiar with his tricks.

Bai Mingyu became angry from embarrassment: "Xie Jing, you are too deceitful! You just wait for me, sooner or later, my master——"

Behind him, Jiuye's angry voice came: "Sooner or later, what will you do!"

Bai Mingyu kept his mouth shut and looked away, still angrily.

Master Jiu came over, and before Bai Mingyu could speak, he saw the other party walking past him to look at Xie Jing, raised his hand and raised Xie Jing's chin to look carefully, then turned around and frowned angrily at him: "You did a good deed, I just praised you once, and acted recklessly today, why did you do it in the courtyard?"

Bai Mingyu opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say it in public. He swallowed the words, and said with red eyes, "I, I feel uncomfortable. Xiaoxie lied to me, and you only help him."

Master Jiu: "Why did he lie to you?"

Bai Mingyu: "... Lied to me that 'White Ape Offers Birthday' was reserved for me alone."

Master Jiu scolded: "It's ridiculous, Jing'er does good deeds and does her best for your life. What kind of nonsense are you talking, you dare to do anything!"

Xie Jing persuaded in a low voice: "Master, forget it."

Bai Mingyu's mentality collapsed: "Is he for me! It's for others at all, Xie Jing, you don't see me at all..." He looked at Xie Jing, his eyes were red, "Are you playing a monkey? kidding me!"

Xie Jing looked up at him: "What does the second young master want?"

Bai Mingyu: "No problem, I want you, you can turn it over for me!" He said angrily.

Xie Jing raised her hand and grabbed her sleeve.

Bai Mingyu took a step back subconsciously, the place where he was beaten just now was in pain, and Xie Jing beat him everywhere except his face.

Xie Jing really turned it over for him, the movements were beautiful, flowing, the toes almost fell on the spot, and the movements were as light as a cat.After he stopped, he looked at Bai Mingyu again: "Second young master, look, is it enough? If not, I can do some more somersaults."

Bai Mingyu: "...that's enough."

He was just having a temper tantrum, Xie Jing told him to stop, and his heart was not so sour.

Master Jiu looked at it coldly, and suddenly said, "The trouble is over? Sun Fu, go ask the family law."

Steward Sun Fu agreed, and hurried away, and took a long and thin whip in a moment, bowed and handed it to Master Jiu.

Bai Mingyu watched Master Jiu walking towards him, his skin tightened, he looked at Xie Jing and then at Master Jiu, obviously knowing that the beating would not escape him, he refused to accept it: "You can't just hit me, little one!" Xie also made a move just now, why is he all right!"

Master Jiu was furious and gave him three whips, which made Bai Er grin his teeth.

Master Jiu said in a deep voice, "Look at the wound on the corner of his mouth!"

Bai Mingyu glanced at it, and that point was not even a bruise, and if he took a little longer to see the faint trace of blood, it would probably heal.

Master Jiu threw down his whip and told the people around him, "Take him down, close the firewood room, and reflect on him for two days!"

The people below answered yes.

Bai Mingyu felt extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, it felt like his father who was far away in Qinghe stood in front of him and personally told him that he had begged for a house aunt, it was nothing more than that.

Master Jiu took Xie Jing back and asked the doctor to show him.The doctor was urged so hard that he almost trotted all the way after entering the mansion. When he arrived, he found that the patient's injury was very light. It will be fine in the last two days, I will prescribe some ointment, apply it, and it will get better faster."

The doctor left the ointment, Master Jiu sent someone to deliver the doctor, and sat there to apply the medicine to Xie Jing himself.

Seeing someone nearby, Xie Jing tilted her head to avoid it: "Master, I'll do it myself."

Master Jiu didn't give way, and frowned, "Don't move, be careful of scars."

Xie Jing grinned and wanted to laugh, but he hissed in pain, and said in a low voice: "It's just a little scratch, the second young master didn't hit hard, maybe there is some misunderstanding..."

Master Jiu looked at him for a moment, then finally sighed, let the people around go down, hugged Xie Jing in his arms and said to him: "Do you know why you were not allowed to go in Yugang? You handled it calmly, but you were too honest Some, there are some things that Bai Er is more ruthless than you."

Xie Jing sat on his lap and said nothing.

Master Jiu asked, "Aren't you happy again?"

Xie Jing shook his head, stretched out his hands to play with the buttons of his collar, and said after a while: "Master, I didn't know how to do it just now, I will send some medicine to the second young master later, shall I?"

"He's rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so he's fine."

Xie Jing was left in the room by Master Jiu to rest for an afternoon, and only after he had dinner did he let him go out.As for Xie Jing who took the medicine box and went to ask Manager Sun Fu about the key to the firewood room, Lord Jiu pretended he didn't hear it and let him go.

Xie Jing picked up the medicine box and opened the door of the firewood room to find Bai Mingyu.

Second Young Master Bai sat there with a slumped face, his clothes were still dirty, and he was grinning in pain, when he saw him, he immediately turned his head away.

Xie Jing gave him the medicine and asked him to apply it himself. Bai Mingyu wanted to save face, so he didn't say a word.Xie Jing laughed, lifted his sleeves, applied medicine to him, and said in a low voice, "It's my fault at noon, I acted harder."

Bai Mingyu was in severe pain. Hearing what Xie Jing said, he snorted and asked him to apply the medicine, but he was still a little unhappy and ignored Xie Jing.

Xie Jing asked, "Why did you suddenly go crazy?"

Bai Mingyu endured it, but he still couldn't hold it back. Taking advantage of the firewood room, he said in a low voice to the two of them: "I came back early in the morning and went to the east courtyard, which is just outside the door of the study."

Xie Jing thought about it for a while, and then remembered that he kissed Master Jiu for a while in the morning, which was nothing compared to others, and he didn't react much for a while.Bai Mingyu at the side blushed, disdainful for him: "In broad daylight, you are... so shameless!"

Xie Jing laughed.

Bai Mingyu blushed, pointed at him and said, "You're still laughing!"

Xie Jing pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Then why didn't you say anything about it at noon?"

Bai Mingyu stared at him with wide eyes: "Is that something that can be said in public? Are you crazy!"

Xie Jing looked at him with gentle eyes: "Are you worried about us?"

Bai Mingyu: "You don't have to be ashamed, who is worried about you, I am worried about my ninth master!"

Xie Jing nodded and smiled again.

He didn't speak, and Bai Mingyu couldn't say anything for a while, so the two sat there quietly for a while.Bai Mingyu didn't feel any pain after taking the medicine, but his stomach quickly grunted. He pressed his stomach and asked Xie Jing, "Why did you only bring medicine and no food?"

Xie Jing took out a paper bag from his arms and gave it to him, Bai Mingyu took it and opened it to take a look, there was only one steamed bun inside.

Bai Er said disdainfully: "It's just a steamed bun, who are you fooling!"

Xie Jing said: "Sun Fu is guarding outside, Master Jiu ordered, to give you a long memory, don't let people deliver meals, the steamed buns are all brought secretly."

Only then did Bai Er honestly eat the steamed buns. He was so hungry that the steamed buns were delicious.

Xie Jing looked around the firewood house, and saw that there were thick logs all around, even the wooden pier Bai Er was sitting on was emitting a subtle golden light, he looked carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but pat the thick log behind him , and said to Bai Mingyu, "Do you know what this is?"

Bai Er gnawed on the steamed bun and shook his head: "I don't know, what is it?"

"Golden silk nanmu, this house is full of it." Xie Jing whispered: "How much money do you think it will be worth if you ship it out?"

With a mouthful of steamed buns in his mouth, Bai Er stared at him dully, suddenly jumped up and said indignantly, "You're looking for my ninth master just to steal wood? Xie Jing, do you have any conscience at all?"

Xie Jing looked at him in astonishment, and suddenly lay down on the log beside him and laughed softly.

"stop laughing!!"

"I'm not stealing wood, but I think it should be worth some money. The second young master owns a pawn shop. Do you know how much the market price of golden nanmu is equivalent to silver dollars?"

"...How dare you say that you are not stealing wood!"
