"Brother Bai, don't panic. The roads in the backyard are complicated. Is Brother Bai confident that he can go out? If you accidentally get into a lady's boudoir, it would be a big problem." Su Xiangyun asked carefully.
Bai Qixin couldn't help but feel funny. Not to mention that it was your Zhou Mansion, when he was a thief, I had never encountered any complex terrain. Although it was the first time I came in just now, Bai Qi has always been remembering the terrain and roads. Not to mention that the sky has not completely darkened yet, even if it is completely black, Bai Qi can still come and go freely.
I thought so, but it was hard to say that. Bai Qi said unhappily: "If Miss Su doesn't bother, Bai Qi can do it himself." After that, Bai Qi bowed his hand, turned around and left.
Bai Qi was walking in front, Su Xiangyun suddenly changed her face and she whispered to Xue Feihong: "Follow him." As she said that, she quietly disappeared behind the rockery tower and followed Bai Qi from afar.
The thief is usually good premonition, Bai Qi is no exception. Without taking more than ten steps, Bai Qi felt that he was being followed behind. Bai Qi pretended to identify the road on a fork, but he stopped secretly and listened quietly. After that, two people made slight footsteps. Bai Qi used his toes to think about who was following him. He suddenly thought in his heart that he had almost made a big mistake. This week's backyard was huge, and ordinary people came in and went out on the right path that was difficult to find. He was just a scholar now, and he was knocked out by someone just now. If he just walked out like this, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of these two girls.
Bai Qi thought of this and stopped in place, pretending to be a little lost, looking around. Su Xiangyun and Xue Feihong, who followed Bai Qi, saw Bai Qi stop and looked around, and then decided that Bai Qi was lost. Su Xiangyun's doubts were also eliminated. It seemed that she was too concerned.
"Sister, this idiot must be lost. Let's not worry about him and let him turn around alone to see how he gets out." Xue Feihong whispered to Su Xiangyun, a standard gloating tone.
Su Xiangyun also whispered: "Nonsense, it's dark, you let her be alone in the backyard. What should I do if something goes wrong?"
"What do you think you should do? He doesn't want us to lead the way." Xue Feihong muttered.
Besides, Bai Qi is a bit difficult at this time. If you really go out like this, you will be afraid of being suspected. But the house in the backyard is too big and you are not familiar with the road. If you really hit a place you shouldn't go, it would be ugly.
At the critical moment, the savior appeared. There was a sudden burst of excitement at the birthday banquet outside, and there was constant singing. Bai Qi was very happy. I thought it was the troupe he invited to sing. Now, as long as you go out according to the sound, there should be no problem.
So Bai Qi was listening carefully and walked along the direction of the sound. Although there were still some forks along the way, Bai Qi's general direction was correct. Seeing that Bai Qi was like this, the two followers behind also understood a rough idea. They knew that Bai Qi would not get lost, so they looked at each other and turned around and left, and stopped following Bai Qi.
After leaving Zhou Mansion, it was completely dark. Bai Qi walked on the street. Only then did he feel hungry, so he casually found a restaurant, ordered some wine and food to sit down, and poured himself and drank it alone.
Having just finished eating, Bai Qi remembered the note Su Xiangyun gave him, and found it. When he opened it, his scalp became numb.
There was only one line of words on the note, and the wandering guest of the world was wandering around. Bai Qi secretly guessed it and wanted to figure out the meaning of Su Xiangyun's words. Soon Bai Qi figured out what the problem was. He slapped his thigh and secretly scolded himself for being careless.
The pine and crane longevity picture I gave to Zhou Ziyun was a problem. The problem was that I wanted to save money. The painting was painted by myself at noon, and the ink marks on the painting were still fresh. People who are skilled in this way should see it at a glance. Zhou Ziyun's old eyes were so blurred, but Liu Yuxin didn't rub the sand in her eyes. Su Xiangyun was Li Qing's disciple. It must be that Liu Yuxin saw something, and told Li Qing, and Li Qing told Su Xiangyun again.
It’s really better than the heavenly calculating. Liu Yuxin must have guessed that Bai Qi is a wanderer in the world. Su Xiangyun also understands what he meant. Didn’t Bai Qi want to live a restless life? Then come to Tianshangju to report to him honestly, otherwise you will expose the matter and make Bai Qi feel at ease.
Bai Qi, who figured out everything, kept sneering. In the past, he kept his low profile and did not show his strength because he was young and had no ability to protect himself. Now the martial arts technique has basically been achieved. Even compared to his previous life, his current martial arts cultivation is only high or low. With his rich practical experience and various martial arts he had come into contact with in his previous life, he may not be afraid of anyone in this world.
It would be best if Su Xiangyun exposed this matter, so that he would make himself famous. Bai Qi thought of this and became more determined not to live in heaven.
After drinking and eating, Bai Qi returned home only after he was full of wine.
In Bai Qi's opinion, except for his mother and the old housekeeper Bai Fu, others are no different from strangers. Bai Qi has been withdrawn since childhood and is not familiar with his brothers and sisters. The servants at home are even more sluggish and don't care much about Bai Qi's dialogue. Except for the elder brother Bai Yunfan who teaches him well, others basically ignore Bai Qi's existence.
Bai Qi returned to the small yard where he lived in the side yard and found that the lights were on in his house. Bai Qi hurried over and it turned out that his mother Xiaolian was sitting under the light, and she thought she was waiting for her to come back.
Bai Qi felt guilty when he saw a cup of soup on the table and knew that it was the soup stewed by his mother. Over the years, no matter how others treated him, his mother always did it and that for him, never asked him to do anything, and never complained about him, let alone beat Bai Qi. What Bai Qi got from his mother was always kind.
Bai Qi hurried into the house. When Xiao Lian saw Bai Qi coming back, she immediately stood up and said, "I'm back, why haven't I come home for dinner?"
Bai Qi quickly replied, "I ate something casually outside." Xiaolian didn't ask any more, took the cup of soup and said, "Come on, I'll stew some soup for you, you can drink it while it's hot."
Bai Qi took the soup and opened it and drank it. Although the soup stewed by Xiaolian didn't taste very good, Bai Qi always felt that it was the best soup. Xiaolian saw that Bai Qi was drinking it smelled fragrant and smiled happily. Bai Qi looked at Xiaolian under the light and saw that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes had quietly climbed up. Time left indelible traces on Xiaolian's face. Bai Qi couldn't help but feel sad. Her mother began to see her old age, but she couldn't give her a better living environment. On weekdays, no matter how angry Xiaolian was with others, no matter how bad she was, she would never see Bai Qi, and she would show her happiest smile. This might be the most selfless love of a mother? Bai Qi had never experienced her mother's love in her previous life, and she felt even more lucky in this life, with a good mother like Xiaolian.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi felt a little excited and told himself that everything should have changed. Nothing else, even for his mother, he should do something for his mother.
Bai Qi was thinking about it, Xiaolian looked at Bai Qi and said with a smile: "A Qi, the eldest lady came to me today and said she was looking for a marriage for you. It is said that the woman's father is still a county magistrate."
Bai Qi felt anxious when he heard this, and immediately choked by the soup. He sprayed all the soup. Fortunately, Bai Qi reacted quickly and turned his head suddenly, so he didn't spray it on the face of his mother opposite.
Seeing Bai Qi like this, Xiaolian quickly stood up and patted Bai Qi on the back and said, "I don't think you're in a hurry, why? Do you miss your wife? That's right, your sixth sister is only 17 years old and has been married for two years. It's time for you to get married."
Bai Qi, who has always hated arranged marriages, could he submit to the marriage arranged by others for him? He quickly shook his hand and said, "Mom, don't worry about this. Go back and tell the aunt, just say I don't want to."
"Why don't you want this kid?" Xiaolian muttered dissatisfied.
"A man is determined to be in all directions. It is not too late to talk about this when I succeed and become famous." Bai Qi quickly made an excuse.
"What do you mean? Start a family and start a career. What business do you do if you don't start a family and start a career?" Xiao Lian was obviously dissatisfied with Bai Qi's explanation.
"Mom, just let me make the decision on this matter and turn back to the aunt for me." Bai Qi had no tricks, so he had to use his usual tricks, stand behind Xiaolian, and lift Xiaolian up and pinch his shoulders.
Xiaolian didn't seem to force Bai Qi, but she sighed and said, "Why did I tell your aunt about this?" Then Xiaolian remembered the matter again and turned to Bai Qi and said, "Your elder brother has sent someone back from Jiezhou and brought you a gift. I'll put it on your bed."
"Is that right? Thank you brother."
‘Forget it, you should take care of this marriage yourself. I can’t take care of you. It’s getting late, I have to go back. Your father should have gone to the study room at this time. I won’t see me later, maybe I have to be verbose again.” Xiaolian got up and packed up her things before leaving.
Bai Qi found the gift brought by Bai Yunfan on the bed. When he opened it, he found that it was an exquisite dagger. Bai Qi was strange, how could Bai Yunfan give him such a gift?
The dagger looks like a top-grade one. When it is unsheathed, the cold light is so strong that Bai Qi likes it, so he just puts it on his waist.
After a busy day, Bai Qi was tired and fell asleep. Tomorrow he had to arrange the daily routines of the children, and there were still many things to do. As for the shitty living in heaven, whoever loves to go.
Bai Qi slept well that night. When he woke up, it was already sunny outside. Bai Qi looked at it and saw that it was not too early. He quickly washed it, found two of his old paintings, took them and left the door.
As soon as he arrived at this Luohuafang, Bai Qi saw Manager Yu and someone drinking morning tea in the teahouse on the street, so he stepped forward and said, "Boss Yu, it's such a coincidence that I met you here."
When Manager Yu saw that it was Bai Qi, he immediately smiled and said to Bai Qi: "Young Master Qi, don't say anything. I'm looking forward to you. I have something to ask you for it."
Bai Qi smiled and said, "Isn't it just a matter of calligraphy and painting? I brought it." Bai Qi patted the two calligraphy and paintings he brought.
