In love with the richest man's wife
Chapter 27 Did you like me again?
001.
"Are you really not angry?" Dong Qingqing asked with a smile.
"Of course not, who would be angry with that follower!" Bai Kan was angry, why would he be angry with a follower.
Convincing himself like this, Bai Kan couldn't restrain the sour feeling in his heart.He was a little jealous, jealous of that follower.
But why is he jealous?
Because of Dong Qingqing?
Bai Kan tilted his head slightly on his pony, and looked at Dong Qingqing, who was riding a tall horse beside him.
Dong Qingqing didn't want to smile, his eyebrows were beaming, as if he wanted to jump up on the ground to celebrate, to express his joyful mood now.
Bai Kan withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and dispelled the scene of Dong Qingqing yelling and celebrating in his mind, it was too scary!
Bai Kan thought for a while, and he admitted that he was a little jealous. As for the reason, he attributed it to the fact that Dong Qingqing was his only friend.
Because of his health, he has been well protected by the Bai family since he was a child. It can be said that he can get what he wants, but also because of this protection, there are almost no people around him who can be called friends.
Although the Bai family also had some servants of his age, those people obviously never regarded him as a 'friend'.
Dong Qingqing is different in this point. Although there was some misunderstanding between them before, Dong Qingqing should regard him as a friend.
Thinking of this, Bai Kan, who had untied his knot, became more and more jealous, "I think that lunatic is quite interested in you."
After speaking sourly, Bai Kan's straight nose moved, and he even smelled sour.
Dong Qingqing couldn't help laughing out loud, he reached out to touch the tip of Bai Kan's nose, but Bai Kan rode the pony to avoid it.
Lu Qingye rode behind the two of them on horseback. Seeing this scene, he shook his shoulders unbearably, wanting to shake off all the goosebumps all over his body.
"I count him as the same generation." Dong Qingqing explained in a good mood.
"Ok?"
"The Nanjiang married family has existed for a while, and they have accumulated a certain amount of business contacts. His generation can be said to be a prosperous generation. The older generations have arranged everything for him, as long as he is on schedule. , will definitely be able to carry forward the Nanjiang Family."
"As for the Dong family, although they were originally in the medicinal material business, they were just a small merchant, with only fifteen or six medicinal herb shops under their name."
At the beginning, after explaining the situation, Dong Qingqing thought for a while before saying: "I am about the same age as him, but judging from the results, the Dong family has grown bigger and bigger after I took over, and even took half of the Nanjiang Cheng family's territory. "
"And he, although he has the accumulation of several generations of elders and the escort of a group of elders, he still suffers setbacks everywhere."
When Dong Qingqing said this, she paused, as if she was thinking about how to use words to make herself look less complacent and proud.
Bai Kan glanced at him with some contempt, huh!
"At first he was not convinced, so he targeted the Dong family and me in everything. Later, he probably got frustrated and learned a lot, so he started to imitate the Dong family."
Although Nanjiang Chengjia is not considered the richest man in the country, he can be regarded as the leader in the medicinal material business. With such accumulation, the lunatic is still no match for Dong Qingqing, and instead gets tricked everywhere.
Under such circumstances, not to mention the young master, any one would be out of breath.
In addition, Dong Qingqing is not a good person, her temper is comparable to that of the lunatic who has a family, and her methods are also known for being cruel and selfish.
Over the years, he has used Nanjiang to make a family, so Nanjiang's family must be even more unpopular with him.
Bai Kan wanted to understand the reason, nodded his head clearly, and then continued to despise, "Look at you, your tail is up to the sky."
This means that without him, if there is him, Dong Qingqing will definitely have nothing to do.
Dong Qingqing smiled without saying a word, he was jealous, but it wasn't about this matter, what he was embarrassed about was the fact that Bai Kan would be jealous.
Although he clearly knew that Bai Kan didn't like men, but he knew that he had a place in Bai Kan's heart, even if it was just an ordinary friend, it still made him happy.
"Tsk tsk." Lu Qingye smacked his lips.
He drove his horse across the gap between the two of them, and while walking forward, he was still covering the side of his face as if he couldn't bear it.
"Your toothache?" Bai Kan asked.
"Didn't you smell the sour smell in the air?" Lu Qingye slapped his nose with his hand as if he couldn't bear it.
Dong Qingqing smiled, not worried.
The three of them talked and laughed, and the journey back was slower than when they came. It was already mid-afternoon when they arrived in Baijia Town.
When they arrived, Lu Qingye followed Dong Qingqing to the Dong Mansion, while Bai Kan returned to the Bai Family.
Lu Qingye followed Dong Qingqing into the gate of the Dong Mansion, looked at the new house of the Dong family, and chose an empty house in a good mood, "Then I will live here."
The place he chose was another empty room away from Dong Qingqing's house. It was quiet there, with a small flower bed in front of it, and the environment was not bad.
Dong Qingqing didn't stop it, but the housekeeper beside him had already ordered someone to decorate the room.
At this moment, Lu Qingye had already seen the big stone sculpture in front of Dong Qingqing's gate from a distance.
Seeing the hideous and terrifying stone sculpture, Lu Qingye's handsome face twisted, "What are you doing?"
There is also a stone sculpture at the door of the place where Cheng Shao's family lives. Is this popular recently?
Lu Qingye couldn't make up his mind for a while, he wondered if he should also follow the trend and ask someone to find a stone carving to put at the door, after all, he couldn't be too behind.
Dong Qingqing glanced at the stone sculpture faintly, without any intention of explaining it.
"You don't provoke Bai Kan in the future." Dong Qingqing put away the smile on his face.
When he was not smiling, his eyes were sharp and cold, and his aura suddenly rose, causing Lu Qingye who was opposite him to also put away his smile.
"When did I provoke him?"
"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking." Dong Qingqing's tone was still cold, "I've already said that my tolerance has a limit. But you can't touch him."
Dong Qingqing made no secret of Bai Kan's importance to him, and looked at Lu Qingye with warning.
The relationship between him and Lu Qingye is nothing more than the relationship between Lu Qingye and Master Cheng.
If the person who was besieged before was replaced by Lu Qingye, if there is no benefit, he would choose to ignore it like Lu Qingye and would not make a move.
"Do you really think you can eat this sweet pastry from the Bai family?" Lu Qingye turned cold.
"No one can touch him without my consent."
Dong Qingqing put down these words, said no more, turned around and went back to her room.
Lu Qingye watched Dong Qingqing open the window and enter the door with gloomy eyes. In a gloomy mood, he seriously pondered whether he should also buy a stone sculpture?
On the other side, Bai Kan hugged the gadgets he bought, happily went back to the room, took out his bulging money bag from the bedside cabinet, and happily counted some pieces of silver from it .
His father, Bai Linyuan, gave him pocket money, but he hardly used it except to buy milk cakes and milk tofu, so he saved a lot.
Taking his private money, Bai Kan went to the door and called the servant of the Bai family, and ordered him to send the money to Dong's mansion and return it to Dong Qingqing.
When he went out before, he didn't expect to go shopping, so he didn't bring any money with him, and Dong Qingqing paid in advance when shopping.
"Remember to say thank you to him for me!"
"Okay, sir."
Bai Kan watched the servant go out, thought for a while and chased after him, and took the money back, "I'd better go by myself."
After making up his mind, Bai Kan went out. Instead of going directly to Dong's house, he made a detour to buy milk tofu first.
Holding a large can of milk tofu, he entered the gate of Dong's house, and Bai Kan went to the living room, and ordered the servants next to him to bring two bowls.
When Dong Qingqing came over, Bai Kan was already packing.
"I bought milk tofu, thank you for paying for me in the town before." Bai Kan pushed a full bowl towards Dong Qingqing.
The faint milky fragrance and the thin mist made Bai Kan's hand pushing the bowl whiter, making one feel the urge to take a bite.
Dong Qingqing's Adam's apple slipped uncontrollably, and she looked away.
"Come and eat, I asked the peddler to add a lot of sugar, it's really sweet." Bai Kan said.
He didn't spend a lot of money buying things in the town before, they were all small gadgets, which were not worth mentioning to people like Dong Qingqing.
It seemed unfamiliar to pay back the money directly, so Bai Kan simply bought a thank-you gift to thank him.
Dong Qingqing walked to the side and sat down, looking at Bai Kan who was already eating with a spoon, she couldn't laugh or cry for a while, Bai Kan was obviously greedy.
Dong Qingqing pushed the bowl towards Bai Kan's bowl, scooped half of the milk tofu in the bowl, and then took it to eat.
As soon as he took a spoonful of it, the cloyingly sweet taste hit him immediately, pouring into his nostrils, the sweetness made his heart feel greasy.
"If you want to learn how to grow medicinal herbs, I can ask a few masters to teach you." Dong Qingqing put down the spoon.
"Really?" Bai Kan looked up at him.
"Well, it's more systematic to learn this way, and there will be no mistakes."
Bai Kan thought for a while, "Then what do you want?"
They are friends, but a deal is a deal, and it can only be maintained if there is back and forth, but unilateral demands will not last long.
Dong Qingqing didn't intend to give alms, and Bai Kan didn't need him to give alms, all he needed was an opportunity.
"I can teach the people of the Bai family how to grow medicinal materials, but I also hope that after our cooperation is over, the medicinal materials grown by the Bai family will first choose the Dong family as the seller." Dong Qingqing made a condition.
It's not so fast for the Bai family to support themselves, and it will take at least a few years. During that period, the Bai family will continue to grow medicinal materials, which is not a small sum.
Bai Kan lowered his head and thought for a while, "Deal."
The growth of the Bai family is imperative, and Dong Qingqing can't stop it, so instead of going retrograde and stopping it, he chose to comply in order to gain greater benefits from it.
It has only been half a day since Bai Kan made it clear to Dong Qingqing, but in this half day, he has already made a choice.
He really has a quick brain and a big heart. He deserves his business to grow bigger and bigger.
While the two were talking, Lu Qingye walked in the door waving his fan.
Seeing Bai Kan, Lu Qingye frowned and laughed, "Why are you here again? Didn't you go home?"
"I come whenever I want." Bai Kan said, Dong Qingqing didn't say anything!
"This is almost becoming your home, come whenever you want." Lu Qingye stepped forward and looked at the jar containing milk tofu.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Bai Kan slapped his paw away, "I bought this for Dong Qingqing, if you want to eat it, you can buy it yourself."
Lu Qingye flattened his mouth, "Aren't you eating too?"
Bai Kan blushed, and stammered, saying: "I, I was helping him to taste it, to see if it was sweet or not."
"Is that sweet?" Lu Qingye teased.
"……sweet."
002.
After helping Dong Qingqing taste the milk tofu, Bai Kan returned home with his chubby belly.
During dinner at night, he learned about what happened in the afternoon from his father Bai Linyuan.
After they left in the afternoon, the lunatic was beaten up by the Bai family, and then directly dragged by a carriage to the family site outside the Bai family, and thrown on the side of the road.
When the family members found out, the lunatic was already unconscious with a bruised nose and swollen face.
Knowing that it was the Bai family who made the move, the Cheng family was very angry, but it was just a few words.
It's not like they don't know what kind of person the head of the family is. Over the years, he has offended hundreds if not dozens of people.
If everyone went to ask for an explanation, then they wouldn't have to start work all year round, and they would be too busy to ask for an explanation.
What's more, everyone knows what happened to the Bai family this time, and it would be considered polite for the Bai family not to beat people to death directly.
"Hmph, if you let me know it's him, he won't have to go back." Bai Linyuan snorted coldly with an ugly expression on his face.
Bai Linyuan didn't know when the incident happened, and the besiegers only heard that the lunatic was a married man, but they didn't know that he was the young man who was the head of the family, otherwise they would just find a hole and bury it and no one would know.
The Bai family's territory is so large, it's not easy to find people in it.
Bai Kan smiled and comforted him, and then told him the agreement with Dong Qingqing, "I have already agreed with him, starting tomorrow, I will go there to study for an hour every day. In addition, I will trouble you, Dad, to choose ten more people to come out with I will go to study together."
"I see, I will arrange it later." Bai Linyuan looked deeply at Bai Kan.
Bai Kan is smart, of course he knows this.
It is precisely because he is smart that Bai Linyuan can't help but feel guilty in his eyes at this time.
If Bai Kan didn't look so sick, then with his intelligence and ability, he would definitely not be inferior to Dong Qingqing, and the likes of Nanjiang married people must be far behind.
"Okay, Daddy, don't think about what you have and what you don't have." Bai Kan knew that Bai Linyuan was thinking about those past events again.
"I'm sorry for you, sorry for your mother." Bai Linyuan sighed, "I promised to take good care of you and your mother..."
Speaking of Bai Kan's mother, Bai Kan's eyes dimmed. He no longer had the memory of that gentle woman in his memory. He only had a vague outline based on what he had heard about her since he was a child.
His mother was originally a beauty, and people from all over the world said so.
When she married his father Bai Linyuan back then, it was also a good story about talented scholars and beautiful ladies from all over the world.
It's a pity that he was born later, a baby who was weak from birth and almost died several times.
Because of him, she became ill from anxiety before confinement, and before he was three years old, she passed away because of her weakness.
His father, Bai Linyuan, was a long-term lover. After that, he never thought about marrying again. He put all his energy on him and always wanted to heal his illness.
Later, he met Mr. Qing, and his condition was under control, but Bai Linyuan didn't feel at ease. He always wanted to cure him completely, and worried whether he would be able to live well without him in the future.
"Let's go to the mountain to see mother tomorrow!" Bai Kan suggested.
Bai Linyuan raised his head, his eyes were a little red, and a man would not flick his tears easily, but it doesn't mean that all men are hard-hearted and can't feel it.
"Aren't you going to Dong's house to learn how to grow medicinal materials tomorrow?"
"Let the others go first. It's okay to be late one day, and the days to come will be long." Bai Kan said softly.
Although no one had ever said that in front of him, and Bai Linyuan had never thought about it, Bai Kan understood that his mother was indirectly killed by him.
A lot of things would not have happened if it wasn't for him.
"Okay, let's go to the mountain tomorrow morning." Bai Linyuan nodded, "You go to bed earlier."
After explaining, Bai Linyuan walked towards the door. He was going to the study room, where there was a portrait of Bai Kan's mother, which was drawn by Bai Linyuan himself.
Before going out, Bai Linyuan turned around again, "Your mother has always regarded you as a treasure. She has never regretted anything, but regrets not being able to watch you grow up."
Bai Kan was surprised, and then laughed.
Although Bai Linyuan is not a good businessman, he is a good father.
From childhood to adulthood, Bai Linyuan has never shy away from his mother's affairs.
He knew that Bai Kan would definitely feel guilty, but he was more willing to tell Bai Kan that they never blamed Bai Kan, but treated him as a treasure, and he did.
"I know." Bai Kan smiled and nodded.
Bai Linyuan went to the study, and after Bai Kan sat for a while, he went to bed early to rest.
At night, he dreamed that he had turned into a child who could only babble, and a gentle woman was patting him gently, humming an out of tune tune, trying to coax him to sleep.
Bai Kan tried to look at her face, but couldn't see it clearly.
Listening to that gentle tune, feeling the strength of the gentle pat on his body, Bai Kan slept soundly.
Vaguely, he also heard a female voice calling his nickname, but his memory has been blurred for too long, and he couldn't tell what that voice was like.
In the early morning of the second day, the two father and son went to the nearby mountain in a carriage.
That mountain is not far from Baijia Town, the mountain is not outsourced, and there are many flowers and plants that his mother liked during her lifetime.The side of his mother's tomb was even more full of plants, all of which were planted by Bai Linyuan himself.
After the worship, Bai Kan followed his servants to sit down and rest in a pavilion beside him, while Bai Linyuan stayed where he was before talking.
After the sun rises to the top of the mountain, the fog in the air gradually dissipates, and the temperature also rises accordingly.
In Baijia Town, Dong Qingqing entered the side hall with a bunch of materials that he personally sorted out last night. There were already a dozen people waiting there, who were the ones who agreed yesterday to learn how to grow medicinal materials.
After entering the door, Dong Qingqing searched the crowd instinctively, but did not see the person he was looking for, so he immediately asked, "Where is Bai Kan?"
"Master, he and the master went to the mountain to pay homage to Madam, let me send you a message, he will come back tomorrow." A person stood out from the crowd.
The smile on Dong Qingqing's face faded, and he looked at the materials he had sorted out in his hands boredly, "You copy this, and someone will come over to give you a class later."
After explaining, Dong Qingqing went out without hesitation, found the butler, and asked him to find the master in the nearby thatched shed.
He originally planned to give lectures by himself first, and wait for the Dong family to find a suitable teacher to take over, but now he suddenly lost interest.
After explaining this, Dong Qingqing went to the study to deal with the Dong family's affairs, but this morning he was absent-minded and often made mistakes.
During lunch, Dong Qingqing called the housekeeper to ask about Bai Kan's affairs. He knew that Bai Kan would be back in the afternoon, so he felt better if he didn't go far.
"If the head of the family asks Young Master Bai for anything, why not send someone to the Bai's house now to ask him, he may have returned." The housekeeper suggested.
"no need."
The butler looked at Dong Qingqing, seeing that Dong Qingqing pretended not to care, but was restless all morning, after thinking about it, he said: "Speaking of which, this Young Master Bai is also pitiful."
"Why?" Dong Qingqing immediately looked over.
The housekeeper laughed and said, "Young Master Bai has been in poor health since he was born, and his mother couldn't afford it because of him. She left them and the two of them before three years..."
Dong Qingqing listened quietly, he had already inquired about the Bai family's affairs before.
At that time, he wanted to cooperate with the Bai family, and what he inquired about was mostly news that would be beneficial to the cooperation. He knew that Bai Kanniang had died long ago, but he didn't know the reason.
After listening to this, Dong Qingqing's heart felt a little sore, and she really couldn't tell from Bai Kan's character.
Bai Kan looks like he doesn't eat the fireworks in the world and doesn't know the sufferings in the world, and he can't feel any feeling of experiencing suffering at all from him.
Such a person makes people feel that he should be raised by the stars since he was a child, and then grow old carefree.
"I'm going out for a stroll." Dong Qingqing put down the chopsticks in her hand and went out.
The butler watched him leave and shook his head as if thinking of something.
He called for his servants to take away the dishes on the table. After finishing these, he was about to leave when he saw Lu Qingye hurried in.
"Where are you in charge?" Lu Qingye asked.
"The head of the family has gone to the Bai family."
"Bai's house?" Lu Qingye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "One of these two will go to Dong's house if he has nothing to do, and the other will go to Bai's house if he has nothing to do.
"What can you do?" asked the butler.
"Forget it, I'll go find him myself." Lu Qingye said as he was about to walk out the door.
"Master Lu, if you have something, you should tell this old slave, and this old slave will pass it on for you!" the butler stopped him, "I don't know if the head of the house will go out with Young Master Bai, and you may not be able to find someone after you pass by."
Lu Qingye thought for a while, and felt that this was the reason, so he told the housekeeper why he was looking for someone.
Lu Qingye got the news from his father that the two countries in the south were at war.
This is not their business, but it is also a way to make money.
Going to war means that someone will be injured, and it means that there will be military supplies, and medicinal materials are the most indispensable military supplies.
Lu Qingye's father has secretly contacted the people there, and they can provide a batch of medicinal materials at a good price.
Although it is a little immoral to rely on wars for profit, the people who are fighting are from other countries and not theirs, and if the medicinal materials cannot be bought, the death rate of those soldiers will be higher.
So this kind of thing is not unheard of before, and every time it can make many people's pockets bulge.
For such a good thing, Lu Qingye naturally wouldn't take advantage of others for nothing, so he first thought of Dong Qingqing, and of course, Nanjiang Chengjia.
The butler knew the importance of the matter and knew that it really couldn't be delayed, so he went out to Bai's house immediately after comforting Dong Qingqing.
In the Bai family, Bai Kan was very surprised by the arrival of Dong Qingqing.
After leading the man back to the small courtyard where he lived, Bai Kan was a little puzzled, "Why did you come here?"
"It's nothing, I just came over to have a look. You didn't come this morning." Dong Qingqing said vaguely, and he looked at the yard where Bai Kan lived.
This is not the first time he has come here, and he is no stranger to it.
Bai Kan's courtyard has a bit of the style of a small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is not big, it is extremely warmly furnished. There is a swing hanging under the big tree beside it, which has a bit of childlike charm.
Bai Kan led Dong Qingqing to the stone table next to the swing and sat down.
"I went to the mountain to worship my mother in the morning. Before I left, I ordered someone to send you a message. He may have forgotten it." Bai Kan explained.
"Well, it's good that you're fine." Dong Qingqing didn't say that the man did bring the conversation.
After looking around the yard, Dong Qingqing looked at Bai Kan.
Bai Kan's eye sockets were a little red, not the kind of redness and swelling that he had cried a lot, but his skin was fair, so the redness of his eyes was obvious.
Bai Kan didn't speak, and Dong Qingqing didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
In the silence, Dong Qingqing keenly noticed that Bai Kan seemed to be a little sad, and his comforting words flowed down his throat and swallowed back.
He can't say straight to the point that he found out about his mother, so don't let him feel sad.
As time passed, the silence intensified, and Dong Qingqing soon couldn't bear the quiet atmosphere, so he broke the silence.
"Your yard reminds me of my home." Dong Qingqing said.
"Huh?" Bai Kan's attention was immediately attracted.
"The place where I used to live was also a small yard like this. My mother took care of that yard. She likes flowers, so she planted a lot of them." Dong Qingqing said.
There are also flowers in Bai Kan's yard, but they were planted by Bai Linyuan, who said they were his mother's favorite flowers when she was alive.
Bai Kan was a little surprised and didn't understand why Dong Qingqing suddenly mentioned this.Then he also remembered what the housekeeper said before, Dong Qingqing was raised as a girl before.
"What kind of person is your mother?"
Dong Qingqing thought for a while, as if she didn't know how to describe it.
"I don't even remember what my mother looks like." Bai Kan's voice was a little hoarse, "She passed away when I was very young. Although I have seen her portrait, I still can't connect her with the portrait. .”
Maybe he is lacking in the recognition of people, there is a portrait of his mother in the study, he has seen it more than once, but his mother in his memory can't see the face clearly.
Dong Qingqing seemed to have finally found the words to describe it. He looked into Bai Kan's eyes and said, "My mother, she is a bit stupid."
Bai Kan was surprised, he had never seen anyone describe his mother like that, and Dong Qingqing didn't seem to complain about his mother.
"She's not very smart, I've always felt that way." Dong Qingqing recalled the past, but all she remembered were not happy memories.
"But thanks to her, I was able to grow up smoothly. Otherwise, in such an environment, I might have died without knowing how." Dong Qingqing said.
Bai Kan opened his mouth, wanting to ask, but couldn't.
The part Dong Qingqing didn't want to talk about was probably the fact that he was raised as a girl.
003.
"Then she is now?" Bai Kan didn't know what to say.
"Dead, some years ago."
"Feel sorry……"
"It's nothing, it's all over after all." Dong Qingqing couldn't see sadness or joy on his face.
Bai Kan didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became a little stiff for a while.
"Let the past be the past!" Dong Qingqing said.
Bai Kan nodded lightly, and after nodding he suddenly realized that Dong Qingqing suddenly mentioned this matter to comfort him?
The steward of the Dong family once said that Dong Qingqing hated other people mentioning his family's affairs the most, and he kept silent about what happened back then. Now he said so much himself, just to comfort him?
Bai Kan laughed. He put his hands on the table and looked at Dong Qingqing with his head propped up.
"What are you doing?" Dong Qingqing felt uncomfortable when he saw him.
"I suddenly discovered that you are really cute." Still a little clumsy.
Dong Qingqing raised her eyebrows, "Is this molesting?"
Bai Kan raised the corner of his mouth, showing an ambiguous expression of whether to smile or not, "You came here on purpose just to tell me this?"
Dong Qingqing neither denied nor admitted.
"It's a good thing that Lu Qingye is not here. If he knows, he will definitely ask you if you secretly like me again." Bai Kan laughed when he thought of that scene.
Bai Kan was in a good mood, and the slight sadness that had been lingering in his heart was swept away.
He doesn't know if other people get along with friends like this, but he likes Dong Qingqing's clumsy concern, which warms his heart.
Dong Qingqing didn't expect Bai Kan to say such a sentence, and was stunned for a while.
Bai Kan got up, stretched his hands above his head, twisted his buttocks, and looked back at Dong Qingqing, "I really think now, it's a good thing you're not a woman, otherwise I would definitely fall in love with you!"
This is not a joke, but serious.
Dong Qingqing's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, his eyes were deep, and it took a long while before he let out a long breath and returned to normal.
"I'm a man and you don't like it? Then it's too cheap for you to like me." Dong Qingqing said jokingly.
Bai Kan was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Dong Qingqing to take it seriously.
"And don't you have a beautiful woman who you dream of? Why, don't you like her and you like me instead if I become a woman?" Dong Qingqing also stood up.
Bai Kan blinked his eyes, tilted his head slightly, Dong Qingqing's words were all in his mind.
For a moment, he really felt that if Dong Qingqing turned into a woman, he would definitely fall in love with him immediately and hopelessly.
As for his dreamy beauty, when compared in front of Dong Qingqing, she suddenly became shorter.
This thought startled Bai Kan himself!
Bai Kan shook his head and patted his chest secretly. He must have thought about it, so he had to think again.
Dong Qingqing is a man, how could he become a woman?And Dong Qingqing is his friend, a friend's wife can't be bullied, and a friend can't be his wife!
But if it is really possible, if, if that kind, if it really becomes like that, he will probably really like Dong Qingqing, not the person who caught a glimpse.
"What?" Dong Qingqing felt a little flustered when Bai Kan looked straight at her.
Bai Kan took a deep look at Dong Qingqing, and said quietly, "Fortunately, you are a man, otherwise, I would have taken it as you to seduce me."
Dong Qingqing couldn't laugh or cry, but her heart beat faster for no reason, "You have to think clearly, I'm a man."
Bai Kan flat-mouthed, not fooled.
"By the way, why are you still not married?" Bai Kan suddenly thought of this question.
Dong Qingqing is two years older than him, and she is not young. Others have already married and children can make soy sauce.
When Dong Qingqing was asked, bitterness slipped down her throat, "I don't want to get married yet."
"Could it be that you have someone you like?" Bai Kan saw the bitterness in Dong Qingqing's eyes.
Dong Qingqing didn't speak.
Bai Kan opened his mouth slightly, but didn't close it for a while.
Does Dong Qingqing really have someone she likes?
"Who is it?" Bai Kan asked.
"Since you're fine, I'll go back first. Remember to report to Dong's mansion on time tomorrow, or I won't teach you." Dong Qingqing patted her clothes and was about to go out the door.
Bai Kan grabbed him, "Tell me, tell me, I promise not to tell anyone."
"Why do you know so much?" Dong Qingqing looked at Bai Kan.
"I'll help check it out." Bai Kan grabbed Dong Qingqing and wouldn't let go.
Hearing that Dong Qingqing has someone he likes, Bai Kan inexplicably feels a little uncomfortable. The feeling is so inexplicable that Bai Kan doesn't like it.
It's not surprising that Dong Qingqing has someone he likes, so does he. While persuading himself like this, Bai Kan felt a little angry at the same time.
He didn't know why he was angry, but his heart was stuffy.
"Then let me reveal a little bit, just a little bit." Bai Kan used his little finger to show a little bit of flesh, "I've already told you who I like."
Dong Qingqing was extremely helpless, he half-cursed: "You are an idiot!"
"Hey?"
"Be there on time tomorrow."
Dong Qingqing bypassed Bai Kan and walked towards the door.
After leaving Bai's house, Dong Qingqing only took two steps before meeting the housekeeper.
After hearing about Lu Qingye, Dong Qingqing walked towards Dong's house while making arrangements.
This is a big event, they must be fast, otherwise the news will spread later, and there will be more people who want to get a share.
Because the medicinal materials were to be transported to the battlefield, most of them were mainly medicinal materials for hemostasis and healing. The Dong family kept a lot of these medicinal materials, but they were far from enough.
Dong Qingqing arranged for people to go to the market to collect them, and the hands and feet must be fast. The Nanjiang family must have already taken action. If it is too late, it may be too late, and the market price will also increase.
When Dong Qingqing made these arrangements and looked up again, the sky had already darkened, and it was already midnight.
After collecting the things, Dong Qingqing fell asleep.
On the second day, when Dong Qingqing made follow-up arrangements and went to the side hall, Bai Kan came in with two dark circles under her eyes.
Seeing him again, Bai Kan immediately cast a resentful look at Dong Qingqing. Dong Qingqing half-spoken yesterday, causing him to think about it all night.
All the people in the side hall arrived, and not long after, Master Dong came.
The group of people recruited by the Bai family almost didn't know anything about planting herbs, and it was not easy to learn from scratch.
Bai Kan forced himself to concentrate on listening, but his eyes flicked to Dong Qingqing's side at every turn.
After finally staying up until noon to rest, Bai Kan immediately closed the file and ran over.
When he came to Dong Qingqing's side, he circled around Dong Qingqing in a white manner.
Seeing him like this, Lu Qingye who had nothing to do and came here to join in the fun, hooked his hands, and called Bai Kan over, "Why are you hanging around him?"
"none of your business."
"Tell me, maybe I can help you." Lu Qingye said, he is a master who doesn't think things are too big.
Bai Kan didn't want to talk to him at first, but after thinking about it, Lu Qingye knew Dong Qingqing earlier than him, so he might know something, so he said truthfully: "Dong Qingqing has someone he likes, do you know who it is?"
"A person you like?" Lu Qingye was surprised. He looked at Dong Qingqing, looked him up and down, and said seriously: "An inhuman guy like him, will there be someone he likes?"
Bai Kan also looked back at Dong Qingqing, nodded in agreement, "You have a point in saying that."
Dong Qingqing is so beautiful, even if he forbids others to tell, it doesn't mean that others can't see it.
Whoever wants to marry him will have to be compared with him every day?Maybe it will cause heart disease after a long time.
"Nine times out of ten I think he's playing tricks on you."
Bai Kan thought about it and felt it made sense.
Dong Qingqing had blue veins throbbing on his forehead, these two thought he had no ears?Just whispering bad things in his ear, without knowing how to lower your voice.
"A man like him deserves to die alone."
Bai Kan nodded again, it makes sense.
Dong Qingqing's face appeared in his mind, with fair and delicate skin, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and long eyelashes.Marry a husband who is prettier than you, so what's the point?
"It's so pitiful." Bai Kan looked at Dong Qingqing and expressed deep sympathy.
Lu Qingye also nodded, his sympathy was broken.
Our
"Are you really not angry?" Dong Qingqing asked with a smile.
"Of course not, who would be angry with that follower!" Bai Kan was angry, why would he be angry with a follower.
Convincing himself like this, Bai Kan couldn't restrain the sour feeling in his heart.He was a little jealous, jealous of that follower.
But why is he jealous?
Because of Dong Qingqing?
Bai Kan tilted his head slightly on his pony, and looked at Dong Qingqing, who was riding a tall horse beside him.
Dong Qingqing didn't want to smile, his eyebrows were beaming, as if he wanted to jump up on the ground to celebrate, to express his joyful mood now.
Bai Kan withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and dispelled the scene of Dong Qingqing yelling and celebrating in his mind, it was too scary!
Bai Kan thought for a while, and he admitted that he was a little jealous. As for the reason, he attributed it to the fact that Dong Qingqing was his only friend.
Because of his health, he has been well protected by the Bai family since he was a child. It can be said that he can get what he wants, but also because of this protection, there are almost no people around him who can be called friends.
Although the Bai family also had some servants of his age, those people obviously never regarded him as a 'friend'.
Dong Qingqing is different in this point. Although there was some misunderstanding between them before, Dong Qingqing should regard him as a friend.
Thinking of this, Bai Kan, who had untied his knot, became more and more jealous, "I think that lunatic is quite interested in you."
After speaking sourly, Bai Kan's straight nose moved, and he even smelled sour.
Dong Qingqing couldn't help laughing out loud, he reached out to touch the tip of Bai Kan's nose, but Bai Kan rode the pony to avoid it.
Lu Qingye rode behind the two of them on horseback. Seeing this scene, he shook his shoulders unbearably, wanting to shake off all the goosebumps all over his body.
"I count him as the same generation." Dong Qingqing explained in a good mood.
"Ok?"
"The Nanjiang married family has existed for a while, and they have accumulated a certain amount of business contacts. His generation can be said to be a prosperous generation. The older generations have arranged everything for him, as long as he is on schedule. , will definitely be able to carry forward the Nanjiang Family."
"As for the Dong family, although they were originally in the medicinal material business, they were just a small merchant, with only fifteen or six medicinal herb shops under their name."
At the beginning, after explaining the situation, Dong Qingqing thought for a while before saying: "I am about the same age as him, but judging from the results, the Dong family has grown bigger and bigger after I took over, and even took half of the Nanjiang Cheng family's territory. "
"And he, although he has the accumulation of several generations of elders and the escort of a group of elders, he still suffers setbacks everywhere."
When Dong Qingqing said this, she paused, as if she was thinking about how to use words to make herself look less complacent and proud.
Bai Kan glanced at him with some contempt, huh!
"At first he was not convinced, so he targeted the Dong family and me in everything. Later, he probably got frustrated and learned a lot, so he started to imitate the Dong family."
Although Nanjiang Chengjia is not considered the richest man in the country, he can be regarded as the leader in the medicinal material business. With such accumulation, the lunatic is still no match for Dong Qingqing, and instead gets tricked everywhere.
Under such circumstances, not to mention the young master, any one would be out of breath.
In addition, Dong Qingqing is not a good person, her temper is comparable to that of the lunatic who has a family, and her methods are also known for being cruel and selfish.
Over the years, he has used Nanjiang to make a family, so Nanjiang's family must be even more unpopular with him.
Bai Kan wanted to understand the reason, nodded his head clearly, and then continued to despise, "Look at you, your tail is up to the sky."
This means that without him, if there is him, Dong Qingqing will definitely have nothing to do.
Dong Qingqing smiled without saying a word, he was jealous, but it wasn't about this matter, what he was embarrassed about was the fact that Bai Kan would be jealous.
Although he clearly knew that Bai Kan didn't like men, but he knew that he had a place in Bai Kan's heart, even if it was just an ordinary friend, it still made him happy.
"Tsk tsk." Lu Qingye smacked his lips.
He drove his horse across the gap between the two of them, and while walking forward, he was still covering the side of his face as if he couldn't bear it.
"Your toothache?" Bai Kan asked.
"Didn't you smell the sour smell in the air?" Lu Qingye slapped his nose with his hand as if he couldn't bear it.
Dong Qingqing smiled, not worried.
The three of them talked and laughed, and the journey back was slower than when they came. It was already mid-afternoon when they arrived in Baijia Town.
When they arrived, Lu Qingye followed Dong Qingqing to the Dong Mansion, while Bai Kan returned to the Bai Family.
Lu Qingye followed Dong Qingqing into the gate of the Dong Mansion, looked at the new house of the Dong family, and chose an empty house in a good mood, "Then I will live here."
The place he chose was another empty room away from Dong Qingqing's house. It was quiet there, with a small flower bed in front of it, and the environment was not bad.
Dong Qingqing didn't stop it, but the housekeeper beside him had already ordered someone to decorate the room.
At this moment, Lu Qingye had already seen the big stone sculpture in front of Dong Qingqing's gate from a distance.
Seeing the hideous and terrifying stone sculpture, Lu Qingye's handsome face twisted, "What are you doing?"
There is also a stone sculpture at the door of the place where Cheng Shao's family lives. Is this popular recently?
Lu Qingye couldn't make up his mind for a while, he wondered if he should also follow the trend and ask someone to find a stone carving to put at the door, after all, he couldn't be too behind.
Dong Qingqing glanced at the stone sculpture faintly, without any intention of explaining it.
"You don't provoke Bai Kan in the future." Dong Qingqing put away the smile on his face.
When he was not smiling, his eyes were sharp and cold, and his aura suddenly rose, causing Lu Qingye who was opposite him to also put away his smile.
"When did I provoke him?"
"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking." Dong Qingqing's tone was still cold, "I've already said that my tolerance has a limit. But you can't touch him."
Dong Qingqing made no secret of Bai Kan's importance to him, and looked at Lu Qingye with warning.
The relationship between him and Lu Qingye is nothing more than the relationship between Lu Qingye and Master Cheng.
If the person who was besieged before was replaced by Lu Qingye, if there is no benefit, he would choose to ignore it like Lu Qingye and would not make a move.
"Do you really think you can eat this sweet pastry from the Bai family?" Lu Qingye turned cold.
"No one can touch him without my consent."
Dong Qingqing put down these words, said no more, turned around and went back to her room.
Lu Qingye watched Dong Qingqing open the window and enter the door with gloomy eyes. In a gloomy mood, he seriously pondered whether he should also buy a stone sculpture?
On the other side, Bai Kan hugged the gadgets he bought, happily went back to the room, took out his bulging money bag from the bedside cabinet, and happily counted some pieces of silver from it .
His father, Bai Linyuan, gave him pocket money, but he hardly used it except to buy milk cakes and milk tofu, so he saved a lot.
Taking his private money, Bai Kan went to the door and called the servant of the Bai family, and ordered him to send the money to Dong's mansion and return it to Dong Qingqing.
When he went out before, he didn't expect to go shopping, so he didn't bring any money with him, and Dong Qingqing paid in advance when shopping.
"Remember to say thank you to him for me!"
"Okay, sir."
Bai Kan watched the servant go out, thought for a while and chased after him, and took the money back, "I'd better go by myself."
After making up his mind, Bai Kan went out. Instead of going directly to Dong's house, he made a detour to buy milk tofu first.
Holding a large can of milk tofu, he entered the gate of Dong's house, and Bai Kan went to the living room, and ordered the servants next to him to bring two bowls.
When Dong Qingqing came over, Bai Kan was already packing.
"I bought milk tofu, thank you for paying for me in the town before." Bai Kan pushed a full bowl towards Dong Qingqing.
The faint milky fragrance and the thin mist made Bai Kan's hand pushing the bowl whiter, making one feel the urge to take a bite.
Dong Qingqing's Adam's apple slipped uncontrollably, and she looked away.
"Come and eat, I asked the peddler to add a lot of sugar, it's really sweet." Bai Kan said.
He didn't spend a lot of money buying things in the town before, they were all small gadgets, which were not worth mentioning to people like Dong Qingqing.
It seemed unfamiliar to pay back the money directly, so Bai Kan simply bought a thank-you gift to thank him.
Dong Qingqing walked to the side and sat down, looking at Bai Kan who was already eating with a spoon, she couldn't laugh or cry for a while, Bai Kan was obviously greedy.
Dong Qingqing pushed the bowl towards Bai Kan's bowl, scooped half of the milk tofu in the bowl, and then took it to eat.
As soon as he took a spoonful of it, the cloyingly sweet taste hit him immediately, pouring into his nostrils, the sweetness made his heart feel greasy.
"If you want to learn how to grow medicinal herbs, I can ask a few masters to teach you." Dong Qingqing put down the spoon.
"Really?" Bai Kan looked up at him.
"Well, it's more systematic to learn this way, and there will be no mistakes."
Bai Kan thought for a while, "Then what do you want?"
They are friends, but a deal is a deal, and it can only be maintained if there is back and forth, but unilateral demands will not last long.
Dong Qingqing didn't intend to give alms, and Bai Kan didn't need him to give alms, all he needed was an opportunity.
"I can teach the people of the Bai family how to grow medicinal materials, but I also hope that after our cooperation is over, the medicinal materials grown by the Bai family will first choose the Dong family as the seller." Dong Qingqing made a condition.
It's not so fast for the Bai family to support themselves, and it will take at least a few years. During that period, the Bai family will continue to grow medicinal materials, which is not a small sum.
Bai Kan lowered his head and thought for a while, "Deal."
The growth of the Bai family is imperative, and Dong Qingqing can't stop it, so instead of going retrograde and stopping it, he chose to comply in order to gain greater benefits from it.
It has only been half a day since Bai Kan made it clear to Dong Qingqing, but in this half day, he has already made a choice.
He really has a quick brain and a big heart. He deserves his business to grow bigger and bigger.
While the two were talking, Lu Qingye walked in the door waving his fan.
Seeing Bai Kan, Lu Qingye frowned and laughed, "Why are you here again? Didn't you go home?"
"I come whenever I want." Bai Kan said, Dong Qingqing didn't say anything!
"This is almost becoming your home, come whenever you want." Lu Qingye stepped forward and looked at the jar containing milk tofu.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Bai Kan slapped his paw away, "I bought this for Dong Qingqing, if you want to eat it, you can buy it yourself."
Lu Qingye flattened his mouth, "Aren't you eating too?"
Bai Kan blushed, and stammered, saying: "I, I was helping him to taste it, to see if it was sweet or not."
"Is that sweet?" Lu Qingye teased.
"……sweet."
002.
After helping Dong Qingqing taste the milk tofu, Bai Kan returned home with his chubby belly.
During dinner at night, he learned about what happened in the afternoon from his father Bai Linyuan.
After they left in the afternoon, the lunatic was beaten up by the Bai family, and then directly dragged by a carriage to the family site outside the Bai family, and thrown on the side of the road.
When the family members found out, the lunatic was already unconscious with a bruised nose and swollen face.
Knowing that it was the Bai family who made the move, the Cheng family was very angry, but it was just a few words.
It's not like they don't know what kind of person the head of the family is. Over the years, he has offended hundreds if not dozens of people.
If everyone went to ask for an explanation, then they wouldn't have to start work all year round, and they would be too busy to ask for an explanation.
What's more, everyone knows what happened to the Bai family this time, and it would be considered polite for the Bai family not to beat people to death directly.
"Hmph, if you let me know it's him, he won't have to go back." Bai Linyuan snorted coldly with an ugly expression on his face.
Bai Linyuan didn't know when the incident happened, and the besiegers only heard that the lunatic was a married man, but they didn't know that he was the young man who was the head of the family, otherwise they would just find a hole and bury it and no one would know.
The Bai family's territory is so large, it's not easy to find people in it.
Bai Kan smiled and comforted him, and then told him the agreement with Dong Qingqing, "I have already agreed with him, starting tomorrow, I will go there to study for an hour every day. In addition, I will trouble you, Dad, to choose ten more people to come out with I will go to study together."
"I see, I will arrange it later." Bai Linyuan looked deeply at Bai Kan.
Bai Kan is smart, of course he knows this.
It is precisely because he is smart that Bai Linyuan can't help but feel guilty in his eyes at this time.
If Bai Kan didn't look so sick, then with his intelligence and ability, he would definitely not be inferior to Dong Qingqing, and the likes of Nanjiang married people must be far behind.
"Okay, Daddy, don't think about what you have and what you don't have." Bai Kan knew that Bai Linyuan was thinking about those past events again.
"I'm sorry for you, sorry for your mother." Bai Linyuan sighed, "I promised to take good care of you and your mother..."
Speaking of Bai Kan's mother, Bai Kan's eyes dimmed. He no longer had the memory of that gentle woman in his memory. He only had a vague outline based on what he had heard about her since he was a child.
His mother was originally a beauty, and people from all over the world said so.
When she married his father Bai Linyuan back then, it was also a good story about talented scholars and beautiful ladies from all over the world.
It's a pity that he was born later, a baby who was weak from birth and almost died several times.
Because of him, she became ill from anxiety before confinement, and before he was three years old, she passed away because of her weakness.
His father, Bai Linyuan, was a long-term lover. After that, he never thought about marrying again. He put all his energy on him and always wanted to heal his illness.
Later, he met Mr. Qing, and his condition was under control, but Bai Linyuan didn't feel at ease. He always wanted to cure him completely, and worried whether he would be able to live well without him in the future.
"Let's go to the mountain to see mother tomorrow!" Bai Kan suggested.
Bai Linyuan raised his head, his eyes were a little red, and a man would not flick his tears easily, but it doesn't mean that all men are hard-hearted and can't feel it.
"Aren't you going to Dong's house to learn how to grow medicinal materials tomorrow?"
"Let the others go first. It's okay to be late one day, and the days to come will be long." Bai Kan said softly.
Although no one had ever said that in front of him, and Bai Linyuan had never thought about it, Bai Kan understood that his mother was indirectly killed by him.
A lot of things would not have happened if it wasn't for him.
"Okay, let's go to the mountain tomorrow morning." Bai Linyuan nodded, "You go to bed earlier."
After explaining, Bai Linyuan walked towards the door. He was going to the study room, where there was a portrait of Bai Kan's mother, which was drawn by Bai Linyuan himself.
Before going out, Bai Linyuan turned around again, "Your mother has always regarded you as a treasure. She has never regretted anything, but regrets not being able to watch you grow up."
Bai Kan was surprised, and then laughed.
Although Bai Linyuan is not a good businessman, he is a good father.
From childhood to adulthood, Bai Linyuan has never shy away from his mother's affairs.
He knew that Bai Kan would definitely feel guilty, but he was more willing to tell Bai Kan that they never blamed Bai Kan, but treated him as a treasure, and he did.
"I know." Bai Kan smiled and nodded.
Bai Linyuan went to the study, and after Bai Kan sat for a while, he went to bed early to rest.
At night, he dreamed that he had turned into a child who could only babble, and a gentle woman was patting him gently, humming an out of tune tune, trying to coax him to sleep.
Bai Kan tried to look at her face, but couldn't see it clearly.
Listening to that gentle tune, feeling the strength of the gentle pat on his body, Bai Kan slept soundly.
Vaguely, he also heard a female voice calling his nickname, but his memory has been blurred for too long, and he couldn't tell what that voice was like.
In the early morning of the second day, the two father and son went to the nearby mountain in a carriage.
That mountain is not far from Baijia Town, the mountain is not outsourced, and there are many flowers and plants that his mother liked during her lifetime.The side of his mother's tomb was even more full of plants, all of which were planted by Bai Linyuan himself.
After the worship, Bai Kan followed his servants to sit down and rest in a pavilion beside him, while Bai Linyuan stayed where he was before talking.
After the sun rises to the top of the mountain, the fog in the air gradually dissipates, and the temperature also rises accordingly.
In Baijia Town, Dong Qingqing entered the side hall with a bunch of materials that he personally sorted out last night. There were already a dozen people waiting there, who were the ones who agreed yesterday to learn how to grow medicinal materials.
After entering the door, Dong Qingqing searched the crowd instinctively, but did not see the person he was looking for, so he immediately asked, "Where is Bai Kan?"
"Master, he and the master went to the mountain to pay homage to Madam, let me send you a message, he will come back tomorrow." A person stood out from the crowd.
The smile on Dong Qingqing's face faded, and he looked at the materials he had sorted out in his hands boredly, "You copy this, and someone will come over to give you a class later."
After explaining, Dong Qingqing went out without hesitation, found the butler, and asked him to find the master in the nearby thatched shed.
He originally planned to give lectures by himself first, and wait for the Dong family to find a suitable teacher to take over, but now he suddenly lost interest.
After explaining this, Dong Qingqing went to the study to deal with the Dong family's affairs, but this morning he was absent-minded and often made mistakes.
During lunch, Dong Qingqing called the housekeeper to ask about Bai Kan's affairs. He knew that Bai Kan would be back in the afternoon, so he felt better if he didn't go far.
"If the head of the family asks Young Master Bai for anything, why not send someone to the Bai's house now to ask him, he may have returned." The housekeeper suggested.
"no need."
The butler looked at Dong Qingqing, seeing that Dong Qingqing pretended not to care, but was restless all morning, after thinking about it, he said: "Speaking of which, this Young Master Bai is also pitiful."
"Why?" Dong Qingqing immediately looked over.
The housekeeper laughed and said, "Young Master Bai has been in poor health since he was born, and his mother couldn't afford it because of him. She left them and the two of them before three years..."
Dong Qingqing listened quietly, he had already inquired about the Bai family's affairs before.
At that time, he wanted to cooperate with the Bai family, and what he inquired about was mostly news that would be beneficial to the cooperation. He knew that Bai Kanniang had died long ago, but he didn't know the reason.
After listening to this, Dong Qingqing's heart felt a little sore, and she really couldn't tell from Bai Kan's character.
Bai Kan looks like he doesn't eat the fireworks in the world and doesn't know the sufferings in the world, and he can't feel any feeling of experiencing suffering at all from him.
Such a person makes people feel that he should be raised by the stars since he was a child, and then grow old carefree.
"I'm going out for a stroll." Dong Qingqing put down the chopsticks in her hand and went out.
The butler watched him leave and shook his head as if thinking of something.
He called for his servants to take away the dishes on the table. After finishing these, he was about to leave when he saw Lu Qingye hurried in.
"Where are you in charge?" Lu Qingye asked.
"The head of the family has gone to the Bai family."
"Bai's house?" Lu Qingye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "One of these two will go to Dong's house if he has nothing to do, and the other will go to Bai's house if he has nothing to do.
"What can you do?" asked the butler.
"Forget it, I'll go find him myself." Lu Qingye said as he was about to walk out the door.
"Master Lu, if you have something, you should tell this old slave, and this old slave will pass it on for you!" the butler stopped him, "I don't know if the head of the house will go out with Young Master Bai, and you may not be able to find someone after you pass by."
Lu Qingye thought for a while, and felt that this was the reason, so he told the housekeeper why he was looking for someone.
Lu Qingye got the news from his father that the two countries in the south were at war.
This is not their business, but it is also a way to make money.
Going to war means that someone will be injured, and it means that there will be military supplies, and medicinal materials are the most indispensable military supplies.
Lu Qingye's father has secretly contacted the people there, and they can provide a batch of medicinal materials at a good price.
Although it is a little immoral to rely on wars for profit, the people who are fighting are from other countries and not theirs, and if the medicinal materials cannot be bought, the death rate of those soldiers will be higher.
So this kind of thing is not unheard of before, and every time it can make many people's pockets bulge.
For such a good thing, Lu Qingye naturally wouldn't take advantage of others for nothing, so he first thought of Dong Qingqing, and of course, Nanjiang Chengjia.
The butler knew the importance of the matter and knew that it really couldn't be delayed, so he went out to Bai's house immediately after comforting Dong Qingqing.
In the Bai family, Bai Kan was very surprised by the arrival of Dong Qingqing.
After leading the man back to the small courtyard where he lived, Bai Kan was a little puzzled, "Why did you come here?"
"It's nothing, I just came over to have a look. You didn't come this morning." Dong Qingqing said vaguely, and he looked at the yard where Bai Kan lived.
This is not the first time he has come here, and he is no stranger to it.
Bai Kan's courtyard has a bit of the style of a small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is not big, it is extremely warmly furnished. There is a swing hanging under the big tree beside it, which has a bit of childlike charm.
Bai Kan led Dong Qingqing to the stone table next to the swing and sat down.
"I went to the mountain to worship my mother in the morning. Before I left, I ordered someone to send you a message. He may have forgotten it." Bai Kan explained.
"Well, it's good that you're fine." Dong Qingqing didn't say that the man did bring the conversation.
After looking around the yard, Dong Qingqing looked at Bai Kan.
Bai Kan's eye sockets were a little red, not the kind of redness and swelling that he had cried a lot, but his skin was fair, so the redness of his eyes was obvious.
Bai Kan didn't speak, and Dong Qingqing didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
In the silence, Dong Qingqing keenly noticed that Bai Kan seemed to be a little sad, and his comforting words flowed down his throat and swallowed back.
He can't say straight to the point that he found out about his mother, so don't let him feel sad.
As time passed, the silence intensified, and Dong Qingqing soon couldn't bear the quiet atmosphere, so he broke the silence.
"Your yard reminds me of my home." Dong Qingqing said.
"Huh?" Bai Kan's attention was immediately attracted.
"The place where I used to live was also a small yard like this. My mother took care of that yard. She likes flowers, so she planted a lot of them." Dong Qingqing said.
There are also flowers in Bai Kan's yard, but they were planted by Bai Linyuan, who said they were his mother's favorite flowers when she was alive.
Bai Kan was a little surprised and didn't understand why Dong Qingqing suddenly mentioned this.Then he also remembered what the housekeeper said before, Dong Qingqing was raised as a girl before.
"What kind of person is your mother?"
Dong Qingqing thought for a while, as if she didn't know how to describe it.
"I don't even remember what my mother looks like." Bai Kan's voice was a little hoarse, "She passed away when I was very young. Although I have seen her portrait, I still can't connect her with the portrait. .”
Maybe he is lacking in the recognition of people, there is a portrait of his mother in the study, he has seen it more than once, but his mother in his memory can't see the face clearly.
Dong Qingqing seemed to have finally found the words to describe it. He looked into Bai Kan's eyes and said, "My mother, she is a bit stupid."
Bai Kan was surprised, he had never seen anyone describe his mother like that, and Dong Qingqing didn't seem to complain about his mother.
"She's not very smart, I've always felt that way." Dong Qingqing recalled the past, but all she remembered were not happy memories.
"But thanks to her, I was able to grow up smoothly. Otherwise, in such an environment, I might have died without knowing how." Dong Qingqing said.
Bai Kan opened his mouth, wanting to ask, but couldn't.
The part Dong Qingqing didn't want to talk about was probably the fact that he was raised as a girl.
003.
"Then she is now?" Bai Kan didn't know what to say.
"Dead, some years ago."
"Feel sorry……"
"It's nothing, it's all over after all." Dong Qingqing couldn't see sadness or joy on his face.
Bai Kan didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became a little stiff for a while.
"Let the past be the past!" Dong Qingqing said.
Bai Kan nodded lightly, and after nodding he suddenly realized that Dong Qingqing suddenly mentioned this matter to comfort him?
The steward of the Dong family once said that Dong Qingqing hated other people mentioning his family's affairs the most, and he kept silent about what happened back then. Now he said so much himself, just to comfort him?
Bai Kan laughed. He put his hands on the table and looked at Dong Qingqing with his head propped up.
"What are you doing?" Dong Qingqing felt uncomfortable when he saw him.
"I suddenly discovered that you are really cute." Still a little clumsy.
Dong Qingqing raised her eyebrows, "Is this molesting?"
Bai Kan raised the corner of his mouth, showing an ambiguous expression of whether to smile or not, "You came here on purpose just to tell me this?"
Dong Qingqing neither denied nor admitted.
"It's a good thing that Lu Qingye is not here. If he knows, he will definitely ask you if you secretly like me again." Bai Kan laughed when he thought of that scene.
Bai Kan was in a good mood, and the slight sadness that had been lingering in his heart was swept away.
He doesn't know if other people get along with friends like this, but he likes Dong Qingqing's clumsy concern, which warms his heart.
Dong Qingqing didn't expect Bai Kan to say such a sentence, and was stunned for a while.
Bai Kan got up, stretched his hands above his head, twisted his buttocks, and looked back at Dong Qingqing, "I really think now, it's a good thing you're not a woman, otherwise I would definitely fall in love with you!"
This is not a joke, but serious.
Dong Qingqing's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, his eyes were deep, and it took a long while before he let out a long breath and returned to normal.
"I'm a man and you don't like it? Then it's too cheap for you to like me." Dong Qingqing said jokingly.
Bai Kan was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Dong Qingqing to take it seriously.
"And don't you have a beautiful woman who you dream of? Why, don't you like her and you like me instead if I become a woman?" Dong Qingqing also stood up.
Bai Kan blinked his eyes, tilted his head slightly, Dong Qingqing's words were all in his mind.
For a moment, he really felt that if Dong Qingqing turned into a woman, he would definitely fall in love with him immediately and hopelessly.
As for his dreamy beauty, when compared in front of Dong Qingqing, she suddenly became shorter.
This thought startled Bai Kan himself!
Bai Kan shook his head and patted his chest secretly. He must have thought about it, so he had to think again.
Dong Qingqing is a man, how could he become a woman?And Dong Qingqing is his friend, a friend's wife can't be bullied, and a friend can't be his wife!
But if it is really possible, if, if that kind, if it really becomes like that, he will probably really like Dong Qingqing, not the person who caught a glimpse.
"What?" Dong Qingqing felt a little flustered when Bai Kan looked straight at her.
Bai Kan took a deep look at Dong Qingqing, and said quietly, "Fortunately, you are a man, otherwise, I would have taken it as you to seduce me."
Dong Qingqing couldn't laugh or cry, but her heart beat faster for no reason, "You have to think clearly, I'm a man."
Bai Kan flat-mouthed, not fooled.
"By the way, why are you still not married?" Bai Kan suddenly thought of this question.
Dong Qingqing is two years older than him, and she is not young. Others have already married and children can make soy sauce.
When Dong Qingqing was asked, bitterness slipped down her throat, "I don't want to get married yet."
"Could it be that you have someone you like?" Bai Kan saw the bitterness in Dong Qingqing's eyes.
Dong Qingqing didn't speak.
Bai Kan opened his mouth slightly, but didn't close it for a while.
Does Dong Qingqing really have someone she likes?
"Who is it?" Bai Kan asked.
"Since you're fine, I'll go back first. Remember to report to Dong's mansion on time tomorrow, or I won't teach you." Dong Qingqing patted her clothes and was about to go out the door.
Bai Kan grabbed him, "Tell me, tell me, I promise not to tell anyone."
"Why do you know so much?" Dong Qingqing looked at Bai Kan.
"I'll help check it out." Bai Kan grabbed Dong Qingqing and wouldn't let go.
Hearing that Dong Qingqing has someone he likes, Bai Kan inexplicably feels a little uncomfortable. The feeling is so inexplicable that Bai Kan doesn't like it.
It's not surprising that Dong Qingqing has someone he likes, so does he. While persuading himself like this, Bai Kan felt a little angry at the same time.
He didn't know why he was angry, but his heart was stuffy.
"Then let me reveal a little bit, just a little bit." Bai Kan used his little finger to show a little bit of flesh, "I've already told you who I like."
Dong Qingqing was extremely helpless, he half-cursed: "You are an idiot!"
"Hey?"
"Be there on time tomorrow."
Dong Qingqing bypassed Bai Kan and walked towards the door.
After leaving Bai's house, Dong Qingqing only took two steps before meeting the housekeeper.
After hearing about Lu Qingye, Dong Qingqing walked towards Dong's house while making arrangements.
This is a big event, they must be fast, otherwise the news will spread later, and there will be more people who want to get a share.
Because the medicinal materials were to be transported to the battlefield, most of them were mainly medicinal materials for hemostasis and healing. The Dong family kept a lot of these medicinal materials, but they were far from enough.
Dong Qingqing arranged for people to go to the market to collect them, and the hands and feet must be fast. The Nanjiang family must have already taken action. If it is too late, it may be too late, and the market price will also increase.
When Dong Qingqing made these arrangements and looked up again, the sky had already darkened, and it was already midnight.
After collecting the things, Dong Qingqing fell asleep.
On the second day, when Dong Qingqing made follow-up arrangements and went to the side hall, Bai Kan came in with two dark circles under her eyes.
Seeing him again, Bai Kan immediately cast a resentful look at Dong Qingqing. Dong Qingqing half-spoken yesterday, causing him to think about it all night.
All the people in the side hall arrived, and not long after, Master Dong came.
The group of people recruited by the Bai family almost didn't know anything about planting herbs, and it was not easy to learn from scratch.
Bai Kan forced himself to concentrate on listening, but his eyes flicked to Dong Qingqing's side at every turn.
After finally staying up until noon to rest, Bai Kan immediately closed the file and ran over.
When he came to Dong Qingqing's side, he circled around Dong Qingqing in a white manner.
Seeing him like this, Lu Qingye who had nothing to do and came here to join in the fun, hooked his hands, and called Bai Kan over, "Why are you hanging around him?"
"none of your business."
"Tell me, maybe I can help you." Lu Qingye said, he is a master who doesn't think things are too big.
Bai Kan didn't want to talk to him at first, but after thinking about it, Lu Qingye knew Dong Qingqing earlier than him, so he might know something, so he said truthfully: "Dong Qingqing has someone he likes, do you know who it is?"
"A person you like?" Lu Qingye was surprised. He looked at Dong Qingqing, looked him up and down, and said seriously: "An inhuman guy like him, will there be someone he likes?"
Bai Kan also looked back at Dong Qingqing, nodded in agreement, "You have a point in saying that."
Dong Qingqing is so beautiful, even if he forbids others to tell, it doesn't mean that others can't see it.
Whoever wants to marry him will have to be compared with him every day?Maybe it will cause heart disease after a long time.
"Nine times out of ten I think he's playing tricks on you."
Bai Kan thought about it and felt it made sense.
Dong Qingqing had blue veins throbbing on his forehead, these two thought he had no ears?Just whispering bad things in his ear, without knowing how to lower your voice.
"A man like him deserves to die alone."
Bai Kan nodded again, it makes sense.
Dong Qingqing's face appeared in his mind, with fair and delicate skin, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and long eyelashes.Marry a husband who is prettier than you, so what's the point?
"It's so pitiful." Bai Kan looked at Dong Qingqing and expressed deep sympathy.
Lu Qingye also nodded, his sympathy was broken.
