Who Said I Was a Coquettish Bitch

On the day I was the host and invited them to have a small gathering for dinner, and it happened that during the dinner, I could inquire about the background of Qilinfang. "

Xiao Lin said, "I'll do the job."

"Every time you are the host to treat guests, no, I will come this time." Bai Chen insisted, how could he let Xiao Lin treat guests every time, it's not like he doesn't have a salary.

Xiao Lin took a step back, "How about this, each of us will pay half, so it's like the two of us treat their brothers to dinner and drinks, how about that?"

Bai Chen thought for a while: "All right."

The next day, before dawn, Xiao Lin had just woken up, and the shadow guard came back to report that the man who entered the brothel had never come out, not only that, no one came out from the gate all night.Another brother has changed to continue to squat, and will report back as soon as there is a situation.

Xiao Lin told Bai Chen about this while practicing martial arts, and Bai Chen thought for a while and said, "Maybe he has already left, and there must be another hidden exit from that brothel."

Xiao Lin nodded: "I think so too, these people are very cunning."

"It looks like the water is quite deep there. Let's go and find out tonight." Bai Chen said, "As long as there is a clue, we can come up with a way to deal with it."

……

The moonlight is hazy, the breeze is blowing, and the night in early summer is comfortable and refreshing.

The lights in front of the Wangyue Tower are brilliant, people come and go, it is very lively.

The carriage stopped slowly, and four handsome young masters got off the carriage, very eye-catching.

"Master, please go upstairs." After booking the private room, Ruyi waited in front of the door, and when she saw the carriage stopped, she immediately stepped forward to greet her.

Xiao Lin nodded slightly, "Yes."

The four of them walked into the private room, and Ruyi and the servants of the Jiang family withdrew and stood guard at the door.

"Why did you think of inviting us to drink today?" Jiang Haoran sat down on the seat, put the folding fan on the table, and looked at Xiao Lin with a half-smile, "Did you take some wrong medicine?"

Xiao Lin: "It's not as good as you, you take the wrong medicine every day."

Jiang Haoran: ...

"Brother, you and the Shizi were enemies in your previous life, right?" Jiang Haochen said, "Every time we meet, we always bicker, and we can't even speak out against him."

Jiang Haoran knocked him on the head: "Who are you brother!"

"This life is also an enemy." Bai Chen smiled, "Brother Jiang, leave them alone, you can order."

"I want to eat spicy food!" Jiang Haochen rubbed his head, his eyes lit up, "Recently, I eat porridge and side dishes every day, and it doesn't taste good in my mouth."

"That's because you have a bad spleen and stomach recently. The doctor said that you can only eat light food." Jiang Haoran glanced at his younger brother, "Your body is just better, don't eat too spicy, I'll order."

Jiang Haochen pursed his mouth, showing a pitiful expression of despair and being unable to resist.Seeing that, Bai Chen wanted to stuff an extra-large lollipop in his hand to comfort him.

Jiang Haoran loves his younger brother, but he also considers other people, and he orders delicious dishes suitable for all ages.

Bai Chen ordered a pot of Wangyue Niang and filled it up for all three of them. Poor Jiang Haochen naturally replaced the wine with tea.

After drinking for three rounds, Bai Chen got down to business.

He cut to the chase and said, "Young Master Jiang, you have a wide network of contacts and are always well informed. I want to ask you something, which is very important to me, and I hope you can help."

"I knew this wine wasn't for nothing." Jiang Haoran put down his glass, "But I definitely want to help you, what do you want to know?"

"The Qilin Workshop in the south of the city..." Bai Chen paused and said, "A workshop where people from other races gather looks dirty on the outside, but there are hidden caves inside, and there are brothels and gambling halls privately set up. Mr. Jiang knows the owner behind it." Who is it? Why are you so bold?"

"Kirin Square?" Jiang Haoran thought for a while, "I have heard about the secret establishment of a brothel and casino there. Their business is done in secret, few people know about it on the surface, and the people do not prosecute, and the officials do not prosecute. It is said that the whole The real person in charge of Qilinfang is not Fangzheng, but a foreigner, maybe he is the owner of the brothel casino."

Bai Chen and Xiao Lin looked at each other, and Bai Chen said in surprise: "You mean, even Fang Zheng listens to him? What is his background?"

"This person is extremely secretive. It is said that he came to the capital three years ago, and he never showed his true face." Jiang Haoran said, "Even my friends in the martial arts have never seen his true face, so I don't Know what he's up to."

Xiao Lin asked: "Can I find information at the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"How is that possible." Jiang Haoran snorted coldly, "I'm afraid that there is no record of brothel gambling houses in the files. This thing doesn't exist under the sun, understand?"

Bai Chen said in a low voice: "This Qilinfang is very problematic, and the brothel is even more foggy. It's not just a problem of people's failure to raise officials, many court officials are guests in it, including Xiao Chuan who had visited before. And recently I found out that this brothel is also related to a case."

Jiang Haoran analyzed: "It should be that this foreigner relied on the brothel to win over some court officials. These people were afraid of being exposed, and they could not protect their black hats. In addition, they had a handle in the hands of others, and they became the protectors of Qilinfang in turn. Umbrella, under the entanglement of various interests, has formed the existence of Qilinfang, which is close to the existence of three independent workshops."

"But brothels are everywhere, beauties are everywhere, why do they go there secretly to have fun?" Xiao Lin said, "Or, what attracts them to the brothels in Qilinfang?"

"You ask this question well... unless you catch someone who has been to the brothel to torture or sneak in to investigate for yourself, otherwise you can't ask it at all." Jiang Haoran knocked on the table, "But I advise you if you don't have a perfect plan, don't Sneak into the brothel."

Bai Chen was curious: "Why?"

"Everyone in Qilinfang obeys the orders of that foreigner. Every commoner in Qilinfang is his eyeliner. Strangers will be followed all the way when they enter Qilinfang. You have been there before, so you know it. The brothel is their core. The area, the place where distinguished guests are entertained, must be more closely guarded, and there must be layers of traps inside." Jiang Haoran glanced at Xiao Lin, "Some people are good at martial arts, but they can't beat four legs with two fists, and it may be dangerous to enter rashly. "

"Who said he would enter rashly?" Xiao Lin said lightly, "You think I'm you?"

"you!"

Jiang Haoran wanted to scold people, but then thought of the shameful incident where he fell into the glacier at night and almost died on the spur of the moment, and was rescued by Xiao Lin in the end, so he could only shut his mouth depressedly, who made him feel wronged.

"Okay, you two don't say a word." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Bai Chen came out to smooth things over, "You two are obviously colleagues and have known each other for more than ten years, why do you still like to fight so much? Let's not talk about it, Mr. Jiang, I toast you."

After finishing speaking, he filled Jiang Haoran's glass and toasted him.

"I'm too lazy to talk to him, it's better to talk to you in a more cheerful mood." Jiang Haoran took advantage of the slope to get down the donkey and had a drink with Bai Chen.

"I also offer you a toast." Jiang Haoran raised his glass, "Thank you for the hospitality."

"This is my treat with brother Xiao." Bai Chen clinked his glasses and said, "He also has a share."

Jiang Haoran pretended not to hear, so he would not thank that egomaniac.

After finishing the second cup, Jiang Haoran wanted to have another drink with Bai Chen, but when Xiao Lin coughed, he could only put down the cup and turned to serve Jiang Haochen some food.

Bai Chen: ...

The movements are quite natural.

……

"Mr. Jiang, can you ask your friends from Jianghu about that mysterious alien in Qilinfang?" At the end of the dinner, Bai Chen got up and clasped his fists and said, "This matter may also be related to the previous cases, please. .”

Jiang Haoran replied: "Young Master Bai, you are being polite. I will ask my friends tomorrow. They have a way, and maybe they can find out something."

……

Not long after the two returned to Xiao Lin's courtyard, the shadow guard in charge of squatting also came back to answer his orders.

Xiao Lin asked: "How is it?"

The shadow guard said: "Reporting to the master, only people entered the brothel, but no one came out."

"Understood, you go down first." Xiao Lin said, "I'll call you again if something happens."

"Yes, Master."

……

"Sure enough, now we can confirm that there is another exit in the brothel." Bai Chen said, "It may be useless to continue to guard the outside, those people are too cunning."

Xiao Lin looked at him: "Do you want to sneak into the investigation?"

"..." Being seen through, why is there a trace of guilt in my heart?Bai Chen coughed, "This method is the most effective. But don't worry, I won't do it for the time being. At least I need to collect some more evidence to be more sure."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized why he had to guarantee this person, it was neither his father nor his boss nor his old bah bah bah.

Xiao Lin said: "When the time is right, I will help you."

"Really?" Bai Chen thought Xiao Lin would stop him, after all, it was a very dangerous thing.

"Really." Xiao Lin said, "You have always been calm and smart, and you will not take your own life as a joke. I believe in you, and I will support your decision and do everything I can to help you."

……

Bai Chen was suddenly at a loss for words.

He admitted that at this moment, his heart was really warm.The person in front of him unknowingly gained more weight in his heart.

☆、Chapter one hundred and seven

Jiang Haoran was very efficient, and visited the door in person on the evening of the third day.

Bai Chen invited Jiang Haoran into the inner hall, and it happened that Xiao Lin was also there, so there was no need to invite Jiang Haoran again.

After pouring tea, Bing'er voluntarily exited the house and closed the door.

"Young Master Jiang, please drink some tea." Bai Chen cupped his hands and said, "I'm supposed to come to visit, but I'm really embarrassed to trouble you to come in person."

Jiang Haoran picked up the teacup and took a symbolic sip before putting it down. He replied, "Mr. Bai, you are welcome. I met a friend just now. I just happened to drop by. It's not troublesome at all."

Xiao Lin glanced at him: "Speak the business."

"..." Jiang Haoran glared at Xiao Lin, "Young Master Bai is not in a hurry, so I don't know why you are in a hurry."

Bai Chen smiled and said, "Brother Xiao is more direct, don't blame Mr. Jiang."

"You just know how to speak for him." Jiang Haoran said, "I'm not going to be tricky. I went to see that friend earlier because of this incident. He told me that the manager of Qilinfang is a sudden man."

He knocked on the table and lowered his voice: "And he opened the brothel and gambling hall."

"Tujie people?" Now when he hears these three words, Bai Chen feels bad. The last time the imperial court found out the collaborators and traitors, it ended in a hurry, and the matter of the Tujie border has not been clarified yet. Now Another unicorn workshop came.

"That's right." Jiang Haoran said, "I'm afraid it will be troublesome if you involve those bastards of Tujie, and there are also a group of moths mixing the water, hey."

Although Jiang Haoran was at odds with Xiao Lin, he was actually a passionate and patriotic young man. Otherwise, he would not have given up literature and joined the military. It is a pity that Jiang Shangshu was worried about his safety and did not allow him to join the army. He could only retreat and enter the guard Team.

"Suddenly exhausted his wolfish ambition, he ran to the capital to open such a brothel, and I don't believe that he has no conspiracy." Xiao Lin snorted coldly, "Those officials who patronize Qilinfang brothel all have problems."

Bai Chen said in a low voice: "The problem now is that there is no evidence, and the court is deep, the emperor's thoughts are deep, and various complicated situations are intertwined. Without evidence, the emperor will not believe it, and those people can still beat him up. Saying that we framed them will be even more passive when the time comes to scare the snake away."

"Yes, you must not startle the enemy. Now you can only pay close attention to the movement in Qilin Workshop. You are secretly investigating the case, and I will find out more information through my own channels." Jiang Haoran said, "We have joined forces."

Xiao Lin glanced at him, "You also decided to participate?"

Jiang Haoran raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Can't you?"

"There will be danger." Xiao Lin did not mock him this time, but seriously reminded him.

"I'm just looking for information for you. As for dangerous things, I won't do them." Jiang Haoran was very straightforward.

Bai Chen said: "Then thank you Mr. Jiang."

It is a good thing to have Jiang Haoran who is well-informed to help. As for the fact that he is not willing to investigate, that is just as it should be, and he has no obligation to do so.

"It's just that there are no clues yet." Bai Chen rubbed his temples, "It's very cunning over there."

"Don't worry." Xiao Lin said, "Foxes will show their tails, and when they show their tails, it's their death."

The three exchanged pleasantries for a while, and as the sky was getting dark, Jiang Haoran got up to say goodbye.

When Bai Chen and Xiao Lin sent him to the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Haoran looked at Xiao Lin, hesitant to speak.

"Say what you have to say." Xiao Lin said, "Don't play this trick."

Bai Chen was amused in his heart, Jiang Haoran disliked the simple and rude attitude of the son of the world, no wonder they both disliked each other for so many years.

"That's what you asked me to say." Jiang Haoran coughed, looked at Bai Chen, then at Xiao Lin, "I heard that Mr. Liu is going to remarry."

This is great news, even Bai Chen couldn't help looking at Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin who was watched by two people: ...

"Understood," Xiao Lin said calmly, "And then?"

He really didn't feel anything when he heard that Liu Rufeng was remarried, but he was afraid that Bai Chen would misunderstand him.

Now that his relationship with Bai Chen has finally made some progress, he doesn't want to ruin their relationship because of a hypocrite.

"...There's nothing else to do." Originally, Jiang Haoran's announcement of this news was just a prank, to "provoke" the relationship between Xiao Lin and Bai Chen.

It seems that Xiao Lin really doesn't like Mr. Liu anymore, instead his eyes are flicking towards Bai Chen intentionally or unintentionally. If he didn't like someone, he wouldn't show such an expression.

Xiao Lin didn't care, but Bai Chen asked enthusiastically, "Who is Mr. Liu going to marry?"

Jiang Haoran shrugged: "I don't know about this matter, I heard it is still being kept secret." Jiang Haoran said, "I guess it will be announced soon, I will go back first."

Bai Chen: "Young Master Jiang, walk slowly."

"Farewell."

Jiang Haoran had just stepped over the threshold, turned around and was about to tell them not to see him off, but only had time to see Xiao Lin's dead face swaying in front of him, and then the courtyard door closed with a bang.

Jiang Haoran: ...

How stingy!

……

After sending Jiang Haoran away, Bai Chen and Xiao Lin simply enjoyed the cool in the courtyard.

"Jiang Haoran is not a serious person, he told us this on purpose just to make fun of me." Xiao Lin said, "Leave him alone."

Bai Chen nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Haoran's expression of fearing that the world will not be chaotic is simply too obvious.

"And, no matter what he is now, it has nothing to do with me." Xiao Lin added, "I don't want to be misunderstood by you."

His expression was serious as if he was taking an oath.

Bai Chen wanted to laugh, "I know."

If Xiao Lin was the kind of sticky and constant person, he would not have been with him as a friend so far, and he still trusts his character very much.

"But I have a question that I'm curious about." Bai Chen said, "Did he find you later?"

This question is purely his gossip, after all he also has a heart of gossip.

Xiao Lin: "I once sent me a letter to Fei Ge twice, and said some apologetic nonsense, but I ignored him."

... Bai Chen admired Liu Rufeng's thick skin, but his behavior completely destroyed the last image of himself in Xiao Lin's heart.

This guy is also quite frank, he just asked casually.

"Twitter!" Xiao Hua suddenly flew over from the next yard and landed on Bai Chen's shoulder.

"Why did you come here?" Xiao Lin said seriously, "We are talking about business."

Xiao Hua immediately shrank her neck, and complained to Bai Chen with an aggrieved face: "Chirp!"

"Don't blame it." Bai Chen spread out his palm, "Xiao Hua is here."

Xiao Hua flew to Bai Chen's palm, very well-behaved.

Bai Chen stroked its small head and said: "Anyway, the business is almost finished, let's play with Xiaohua for a while, you and I are not at home on weekdays, and the servants in your yard dare not touch it, and Ruyi Bing'er is busy. Get on it, it's boring too."

"Jijigugu!" Xiaohua nodded wildly, as if to say, "Yes, yes! Xiaohua is boring!"

Xiao Lin: ...

Seeing Bai Chen doting on Xiao Hua so much, a sentence popped up in his mind inexplicably - "A loving mother loses her lot"

Stop it, stop it, if Bai Chen finds out, he will be finished.

……

"Xiao Chen." Seeing that Bai Chen and Xiao Hua were having fun, Xiao Lin hesitated for a while before speaking.

"Huh?" Bai Chen looked up at him.

Xiao Lin said: "After we leave the office tomorrow, I'll pick you up to have dinner at the newly opened Yinggui Tower in the capital?"

"What day is tomorrow?" Bai Chen thought for a while, today is the sixth day of July, isn't tomorrow the seventh day of July?

The seventh day of July is the Qixi Festival.

Although in ancient times it was a day for daughters' families to beg for cleverness, but in the new dynasty it was also a day for unmarried young men and women to set off river lanterns and watch fireworks.

Wouldn't it be good to go out with Xiao Lin tomorrow?

After all, Bai Chen still doesn't have a clue, and his heart is a little confused.

He didn't want Xiao Lin to let him down after giving him hope.

"Tomorrow is the seventh day of the seventh month." Xiao Lin said, "An ordinary day."

Bai Chen: ...

Just keep talking!

"Tomorrow may be very busy..." Bai Chen subconsciously wanted to avoid it, he was a little scared, although he didn't know what he was afraid of.

Xiao Lin said: "It's nothing, I'll wait for you, as long as you can accompany me to eat."

The loneliness in his eyes did not escape Bai Chen's eyes, and he thought of the pitiful wet eyeballs of the big golden retriever in his dream, and Bai Chen actually felt a little bit sorry.

... No, why does he keep asking himself to eat with him?

"Aside from Qiqiao Festival, what day will it be tomorrow?" Bai Chen asked.

Xiao Lin lowered his eyelids: "It's nothing."

This expression is more innocent!No, there must be a problem.

When Bai Chen was very confused, Xiao Hua suddenly jumped up from him, jumped onto Xiao Lin's shoulder, and shouted: "Health! Life!"

born?What happened?have a baby?

After Bai Chen was stunned for a while, he suddenly realized, he asked Xiao Lin: "Tomorrow is your birthday?"

Xiao Lin nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Why didn't you say it earlier." Bai Chen said with some guilt, "I didn't even prepare a gift for you. You remember my birthday, but I forgot yours. I'm sorry."

It seems that Xiao Lin didn't celebrate his birthday last year, otherwise he would have been impressed when he stayed in the palace.

"It's not too late now." Xiao Lin said, "Dining with me tomorrow is the best gift."

The birthday person is the biggest, even if it is Qixi Festival, they have to have dinner with the birthday person.

"Okay, let's have dinner tomorrow." Bai Chen said, "You don't need to come to the Yamen to pick me up, let's meet at Yinggui Tower."

Xiao Lin smiled: "Okay."

This smile is a bit like a child who got candy.

I didn't expect this guy to be a Leo according to the modern saying. After thinking about it, his temper is quite suitable.

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

The author has something to say: Someone Xiao: God teammate!

Xiaohua: Hidden merit and fame.

Jiang Haoran: The father and son upstairs are black-bellied!shameful!

I wish you all a happy New Year's Day holiday╭（╯3╰）╮

☆、Chapter one hundred and eight

Bai Chen's previous excuse turned out to be a reality unexpectedly.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Bai Chen was particularly busy. Not to mention serious cases sent from all over the country for reconsideration of the death penalty, there were several serious cases in the counties under his jurisdiction that requested Dali Temple to review. My lord has gone to another place, and today I must review the case, so as not to fight unprepared.

The time for dispersing Yamen has passed, but he still can't leave.

Looking at the unfinished files on the desk and the already dark sky, Bai Chen sighed.

Fortunately, Xiao Lin was not allowed to pick him up, otherwise I would be too sorry.

Somehow he remembered the eyes of the big golden retriever in the dream and Xiao Lin's eyes yesterday, and he felt inexplicably guilty.

Today is his birthday, no matter what, we should try our best to have dinner with him.

He decided to speed up the pace and get it done sooner.

An hour later, Bai Chen finally finished the work.

He hurriedly got into the carriage and ordered Ruyi to drive to Yinggui Tower.

"Ruyi, did Mr. Xiao not celebrate his birthday last year?" On the carriage, he lifted the curtain and asked Ruyi who was sitting in front of the carriage.

"Returning to the son, the master did not celebrate last year." He twitched his buttocks lightly, "However, since I entered the palace, I have never seen him celebrate. The son should not think much about birthdays."

Bai Chen: ...

Why do I feel like I've been tricked by this guy again? !

Forget it, the birthday person is the biggest, so it should be a big golden retriever... no, the wish of the son of the world.

……

Ying Gui Lou is a newly opened high-end restaurant in the capital. It specializes in southern dishes. It is said that the taste is exquisite and delicious. Serve the rich.

Originally, the high-end restaurant in the north of the city was dominated by Wangyuelou, but Yingguilou suddenly emerged. It has only been open for two months, but there is a faint tendency to divide the world with Wangyuelou.

Today is the Qixi Festival. As soon as the carriage entered the downtown area in the north of the city, there was a sea of ​​lights all over the sky. Colorful lights were hung in front of every shop, shining like a rainbow in the dark night.

The annual Qiqiao Market, which was set up for the daughter's family to buy and sell Qiqiao items, also opened bustlingly. The gorgeously dressed rich ladies and daughters, accompanied by their maids, stopped and watched in front of the stall. They were full of smiles, and their faces were illuminated by the lights. Flushing red, Bai Chen's mood improved.

Soon the carriage arrived in front of the gate of Yinggui Tower. Before Bai Chen got out of the carriage, he saw Xiao Lin in a black shirt inlaid with gold thread standing at the door, tall and tall, heroic and extraordinary.

——In particular, there are a group of young servants waiting for the master to run errands, which makes Xiao Lin stand out even more.

...This guy won't be waiting here forever, right?

After getting out of the car, Xiao Lin came over, and after Ruyi greeted him, Xiao Lin sent him to drive back in the carriage, and it would be fine for Bai Chen to ride back with him later.

"Sorry, the yamen has something to delay." Bai Chen was a little embarrassed, "Have you waited long?"

"Soon." Xiao Lin said, "Let's go in."

"it is good."

……

The private rooms in Yinggui Tower also follow the beautiful route of Jiangnan water town, and each private room has its own theme.

Xiao Lin decided on "bamboo".

There are many ink paintings hanging inside, most of which are bamboos.

"Sure enough, it's a private room." Bai Chen looked around, "It's not as resplendent as Wangyue Tower, but it has a sense of poetry."

"I wanted to choose the loose one, but unfortunately someone preempted it." Xiao Lin said, "Sit down."

"You're a birthday star, I'll treat you to this meal." Bai Chen said, "Don't argue with me today, or I'll get angry."

Xiao Lin thought for a while: "Okay."

The guy brought the menu, and the two ordered together, and ordered a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

"I heard that the small river behind the Wangyue Tower is a place where river lanterns are set off to watch the fireworks. Let's take a look after dinner?" Although the dishes here are already shiny, Xiao Lin still wipes the dishes carefully before putting them away. In front of Bai Chen.

"Okay." Bai Chen said, "You have the final say today, you are the biggest."

Xiao Lin showed a slight smile, "Yes."

While talking, the food was served one after another, and Bai Chen held up his wine glass to respect him: "Brother Xiao, happy birthday. I hope you have today every year, and today every year."

"Thank you." Xiao Lin held a glass with him, and the two drank the glass of wine.

"Didn't river lanterns and Kongming lanterns be released every year during the Qixi Festival? Have you ever seen them?" After a few drinks, Bai Chen chatted casually with him.

Xiao Lin shook his head: "Never been."

"Yes, you don't like places with a lot of people." Bai Chen said, "There are a lot of people out on Qixi Festival, and there will be trouble."

"That was in the past." Xiao Lin took some food for Bai Chen, "It's different now."

Bai Chen: ...

Was speechless.

Xiao Lin didn't really seem to care much about whether it was a birthday or not, as if he was eating and drinking with Bai Chen in normal times.

He always added wine and vegetables to Bai Chen, and took good care of him, but he didn't eat much.

"You can eat too." Bai Chen was really sorry, and quickly picked up a few chopsticks for him, "Don't keep picking up food for me, I will do it myself."

Xiao Lin: "Okay."

After finishing speaking, he seriously started to eat the food that Bai Chen gave him.

Although Bingshan still had a calm expression, Bai Chen knew that he should be very happy.

The appearance of eating food seriously, especially like a good student.

It is completely different from the impression he gave people in the past, but there is no violation, as if this person should be so divided and changeable, and every Xiao Lin is the real him.

so amazing.

……

After eating, the two of them strolled to the Moon Tower.

Along the way, you can see young girls, young men and women who are out on a date, and parents who bring their children out to join in the fun.

——You can even see the gray-haired old man and the old woman enjoying the scenery.

In the new dynasty, apart from the Lunar New Year's Lantern Festival, which is also known as the Qixi Festival, the grand scene of participation by the whole people can be seen.

"That's great." Bai Chen sighed, "Everyone looks so happy."

Emotions are really contagious, and this pleasant atmosphere made Bai Chen very happy.

"Yes." Xiao Lin said, "The country's prosperity and people's safety are the greatest happiness."

……

The street was bustling with people, Bai Chen suddenly looked up and saw two people playing with masks on the side of the street.

One of them is Liu Rufeng, and the other man is wearing a ghost mask, but he doesn't know who it is.

The two talked and laughed, with an intimate attitude.

It seems that what Jiang Haoran said is true, Liu Rufeng may have a lover again.

Liu Rufeng was still dressed in white, elegant and handsome, attracting many eyes.

Regardless of men and women, they can't help but look back when they pass by.

There are even more obsessed men and women who turn their heads again and again, just to get a few more glimpses of this handsome man who looks like a fairy.

"Young Master Liu is in front." Bai Chen touched Xiao Lin with his elbow, "I don't know who is next to him."

Xiao Lin looked up, "I don't know."

……

Seeing his lack of interest, Bai Chen wanted to laugh.

This guy really treated the other party like a passerby, as if any further discussion would be a waste of his life.

There were many people on the street, Bai Chen, Xiao Lin and Liu Rufeng passed by a wall of people, even if they saw each other, they chose to turn a blind eye.

It wasn't until Bai Chen and Xiao Lin walked away that Liu Rufeng turned back.

Looking at their backs, Liu Rufeng showed a complicated look on his face.

"Rufeng?" the masked man called back to him.

"coming."

He returned to his usual gentle smile, walked to the side of the man, and the two walked forward cuddling.

……

Bai Chen and Xiao Lin came to the bustling embankment.

Legend has it that on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, people were afraid that the cowherd would not be able to see the direction of the magpie bridge, so they put lanterns on the human river and raised Kongming lanterns to let the cowherd know the way and walk quickly to meet the weaver girl.

At this time, many flashing river lights appeared on the river, and they moved forward slowly along the river, flickering like a galaxy.

On this day, the daughter's family will write the lover's name and blessings on the small lanterns, and then let the lanterns float away along the river, praying that the lovers will eventually get married, and sometimes write down their expectations for future life.

On the other side of the river, many young men and women lit Kongming lanterns, and the breeze sent the lanterns upward slowly into the night sky, forming a sea of ​​stars.

Both of them are men, and they are not very interested in putting on lanterns, but this does not prevent them from standing by the river to watch quietly.

"Does it look good?" Xiao Lin asked suddenly.

"It's beautiful." Bai Chen looked up at the sky and smiled, "I hope all kind people will be happy."

Just like in a fairy tale.

Even if it is not very realistic, but on a day like today, he still hopes so naively.

Seeing the person in front of him so real and so cute, Xiao Lin finally couldn't help but patted his head, "Yes."

Bai Chen: ...

This son, you are obviously a big golden retriever, I hope you don't make a mistake, okay...

"By the way, this is for you." Bai Chen took out a small bamboo carving with the thickness of two fingers from his waist, and handed it to Xiao Lin, "Happy birthday."

Xiao Lin showed a happy expression on his face, took it over and studied it, and his expression gradually became puzzled, "Is this a... dog?"

"That's right." Bai Chen said, "You just told me yesterday that I didn't have time to prepare a gift, so I had to carve this in a hurry. I hope you don't think it's too bad."

"How come." Xiao Lin looked at the bamboo carving in his hands like a baby, with a satisfied smile in his eyes, "I like it very much, but I have never seen such a dog with long hair, a pointed head, and a long tail. .”

"Cough, I dreamed of this in my dream." Bai Chen coughed, and naturally he would not tell him the allusion of the big golden retriever, "I thought it was beautiful, so I carved it for you."

"Thank you, Xiaochen." Xiao Lin said, "This is the happiest birthday I've ever had."

"Ah."

Bai Chen thought to himself that the son of the world is really easy to coax.However, this Qixi Festival, he also had a very happy time.

At this moment, just hearing a bang, the sky suddenly exploded with blossoming fireworks, fiery trees and silver flowers, gorgeous and beautiful.

The two raised their heads and admired quietly, hoping that there will be today every year, and the present every year.

☆、One hundred and nine chapters

On the night of Qixi Festival, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, the fireworks are gorgeous, and Bai Chen is happy in his heart.

But the next day he was going to go out with Mr. Lu and go back to pack his luggage, and he began to feel a little anxious, but today was Xiao Lin's birthday, so he couldn't disappoint, so he didn't mention it.

Unexpectedly, only halfway through the fireworks, Xiao Lin suggested that it was getting late and it was time to go home.

"It's your birthday today, but I can't enjoy it to the fullest. I'm really sorry." Bai Chen knew that Xiao Lin was thinking about his business trip tomorrow, and he felt a little bit sorry, as if he owed him for no reason.

"No need to be sorry, we'll go out to drink and have fun when we're not busy with business." Xiao Lin said, "You're going to travel early tomorrow, so you can't go back early to prepare, let's go."

Bai Chen was a little moved, nodded and said, "Okay."

……

The two rushed back in the carriage, very fast, and arrived in a short time.

Just after getting out of the car, Binger who came out to greet them greeted them and said mysteriously: "Young master, my son, the girl next door suddenly moved away today! The three of them, master and servant, have all left."

Bai Chen's heart skipped a beat, he and Xiao Lin looked at each other, what's going on?

There was also obvious surprise in Xiao Lin's eyes.

Bai Chen said in a low voice: "Go in first and then we'll talk."

After entering the courtyard gate, Bai Chen anxiously asked Binger what was going on.

When he went out this morning, he saw Aunt Zhang walking out of the alley with a basket on her shoulders, she was obviously going to buy vegetables and medicine, why did she move out when she came back at night?

Bing'er said: "About noon, I was working in the courtyard, and I heard the sound of a carriage outside, and the carriage left after a short stay. Afterwards, several more carriages came, and I thought something happened, so I opened the door I peeked around and saw a lot of men coming in and out carrying things."

"Do those men look like coolie porters or servants of rich families?" Xiao Lin asked. "Or is it a street thug?"

"They look like porters at the market dock." Bing'er said, "But they move things without saying a word, and they move very quickly."

Bai Chen asked: "Didn't you see Aunt Zhang and the three of them?"

"I see, the girl was helped into the car by Aunt Zhang and the maid." Bing'er lowered her head, a little unhappy, "Those people who moved looked very fierce, I dare not call Aunt Zhang and them too much."

"It's right not to call
