Although she didn't understand the meaning of Bai Yutang's words, Ye Shulan saw that the so-called Mr. Bao San was about to walk over, so she hurriedly pulled Bai Yutang behind her, tried to block him, and then greeted with a smile: "Ding Sister, Brother Zhan, long time no see!"

Ding Yuehua stepped forward, pinched Ye Shulan's face, and while pulling her into the Kaifeng mansion, said: "Little Ye Zi, I haven't seen you for a few days, why do you look so thin..."

Ye Shulan looked at Mr. Bao San who was looking over curiously, then turned her head and glanced at Bai Yutang behind her, but still refused: "Sister Ding, I just came back from Shaoshi Mountain, let's go back to Baifu first..."

At this time, Zhan Zhao went over to pull Bai Yutang: "Brother Bai came down from Shaoshi Mountain with Miss Ye, right? Why are you going back to the Bai Mansion? Because the third son came over, Mrs. Bao personally cooked a large table of banquets. Let’s all come and taste it. It’s just a matter of time to introduce you to Mr. Bao, who is worthy of Master Bao’s nephew..."

Hearing Zhan Zhao's introduction, Ye Shulan felt bad, and was about to throw Ding Yuehua away, and when she was about to drag Bai Yutang to run away, she suddenly heard that Mr. Bao San said, "I'm Bao Shirong. The demeanor of the fifth master, seeing him today, really lives up to his reputation."

Turning her head to look, she saw that Mr. Bao San behind Zhan Zhao was bowing to Bai Yutang, and Bai Yutang also bowed his hands in return. Ye Shulan couldn't help wondering: "This is..."

Then he kept looking at Mr. Bao San - this guy is so calm when he sees Tangtang, it's unscientific...

Ding Yuehua finally found out that Ye Shulan was wrong: "Ye Zi, is there any problem with Mr. Bao?"

"This..." Ye Shulan hesitated and didn't know what to say.But Bai Yutang interjected: "Bai once offended Mr. Bao San on the way to Beijing."

As soon as these words came out, Third Young Master Bao was at a loss, Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua looked at each other, and Ye Shulan looked at the sky.

Hearing the announcement from the servants that "Princess Wu Guo" was coming, Bao Zheng hurried out of the mansion to greet him, but just as he got closer, before he could salute, he heard Bai Yutang say so, his already dark face turned even darker. If it wasn't in front of everyone, I'm afraid I'm going to step forward and pull my ears, and I'll be clubbed directly. At this time, I can only stare and yell loudly: "Shirong, what bad thing did you do to provoke Bai Shaoxia to do something?" ? Isn’t it true?! Have you read all the books of sages into the pig’s stomach?”

Bao Shirong was very aggrieved: "Uncle, don't you know how my nephew is? How could he do something bad? What's more, this is the first time my nephew sees Fifth Master Bai, let alone offend him in any way."

Lu Fang and Ding Zhaohui, who were following Bao Zheng and walking with Gongsun Ce, looked at each other and said nothing—maybe it was Bai Wu's choice.

At this time, Bai Yutang added with some doubts: "However... the third young master Bai saw last time is not exactly the same as this one, but only slightly similar."

Now everyone's eyes turned to Bao Zheng: Master Bao, how many good nephews do you have?

After everyone entered the mansion and chatted with each other over tea, they finally realized that the so-called Mr. Bao San that Bai Yutang met earlier must have been impersonated.

When Bao Zheng heard that his child had made no mistake, Bao Zheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Gongsun Ce was very worried: "But my lord, only we know that the third son Bao is not the real one, and the others don't. Name, you have done so many stupid things, and in the end, you still discredited the young master?"

"Indeed, my lord." Zhan Zhao also said, "This man must be caught as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will not only bring the name of the son, but just like Brother Bai said, I don't know how many people have been harmed along the way."

Bao Zheng immediately looked at Bai Yutang: "I wonder if Young Master Bai still remembers the specific appearance of the person pretending to be my nephew?"

Bai Yutang pondered for a moment, asked for a pen and paper, and outlined a person with a few simple strokes.

Bai Yutang finished the painting and just dried it. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ye Shulan propping his chin and looking at him intently. He couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, and first showed her the painting: "Does it look like it?"

"I didn't see that person clearly." Ye Shulan shook her head, but she was a little surprised. Bai Yutang's paintings are not like traditional ink paintings that do not pay attention to dimensions. They are three-dimensional and resemble real people, rather like modern sketches—of course , with different pens, the similarity is still slightly close.So after a while, he nodded: "But the painting looks like a real person!"

Bai Yutang patted her head and put the painting aside.

Seeing the two people's way of getting along, which seemed to be the same as in the past, but slightly different, Lu Fang frowned slightly, Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua were discussing something in a low voice, while Ding Zhaohui stood beside him with folded arms and a muffled smile.

So the second person who ran over to look at the painting was Bao Shirong. He was very curious about who was pretending to be him, but after seeing it, his face became a little strange, and then he asked the servants to go to the courtyard to call his two elder brothers over.

"What does Shirong have in mind?" Bao Zheng asked after seeing his nephew's movements.

"My nephew thinks this person looks familiar, but I'm not sure, so I'd better wait until the two elder brothers come to make a fuss."

Bao Zheng and Gongsun felt relieved when they heard Bao Shirong's answer, and couldn't stop nodding.Soon the eldest son, Bao Shien, and the second son, Bao Shixun, arrived. The second son was shocked when he saw the painting: "Third brother, isn't this Wu Jixiang? Who draws it so similar?"

"Second brother also thinks it's Wu Jixiang, right? The younger brother looks like him, too. Where's the eldest brother?"

Mr. Bao was a little dull, but he nodded firmly after seeing the painting: "It is Wu Jixiang."

Bao Zheng twirled his beard and said nothing, Gongsun then asked, "Who is Wu Jixiang?"

Bao Shirong replied: "I used to be a servant in my hometown, but I made a mistake and was kicked out. I didn't expect to pretend to be me and cheat everywhere..."

When Bao Shirong said this, he sincerely bowed to Bai Yutang again: "Thanks to Fifth Master for teaching him a lesson, otherwise I would have ruined my reputation long ago if I didn't say that I couldn't swallow my breath."

——Reputation is as important to a literati, especially a literati who intends to become an official, as knowledge. If the reputation is ruined, even having a good uncle is useless.

Now that the identity of the impostor has been determined, Bao Zheng took Gongsun to the front to issue arrest documents, and left a few younger ones here to chat.

As soon as Bao Zheng left, Lu Fang originally wanted to call Bai Yutang to ask about recent events, but Zhan Zhao didn't expect Zhan Zhao to directly drag him and Ding Zhaohui to find Bao Zheng's three nephews.However, seeing that Bai Yutang, who had always been indifferent and unreasonable, could get along well with his peers, he was also very happy, so he let him go.And Ye Shulan ran to Ding Yuehua's side: "Sister Ding, Tangtang and I will go south to the empty island in two days. You are also going back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival? Let's go together!"

Originally on the way, Ding Yuehua nodded naturally, then looked at Ye Shulan's really thinned cheeks, and asked with concern: "What's the matter recently, isn't Fifth Brother Bai giving you food? You really lost a lot of weight."

Ye Shulan shook her head first, seeing the worry in Ding Yuehua's eyes, she still briefly talked about her past few days.

Although Ye Shulan finished with a few words in an understatement, Ding Yuehua was still very emotional-after all, it has been almost 300 years, things are different, and it is really the people who stay behind that suffer the most.

However, Ye Shulan is very cheerful after all, and her depressed mood quickly subsided. Hearing that Mrs. Bao was still busy in the kitchen, and seeing the boys chatting happily over there, she took Ding Yuehua to the kitchen to make trouble... No, it was to help .

After having a happy dinner in Kaifeng Mansion, Ye Shulan and Bai Yutang followed Lu to bid farewell to Bao Zheng and went back to Bai Mansion together.

I haven't been back for many days, and I still have a lot of affection for Ye Shulan, the mansion that I have lived in for the longest time since I came to this world. First I looked around, and finally ran to my own yard - looking for Ji Xiaomeng.

Bai Yutang was originally standing in the yard with his arms folded, but seeing the other party running like a flopping chicken, running here and there for a while, was quite amusing, and he almost couldn't help laughing.When Lu Fang went back to the room and changed his clothes, he happened to see this scene. He couldn't help calling someone into the study, and went straight in: "Xiaobai, tell the elder brother, what do you do to Miss Ye and Princess Wu?" thinking?"

Hearing the question, Bai Yutang was taken aback: "Brother..."

"Don't fool me." Lu Fang waved his hand, "When your elder brother entrusted you to me, I have to be responsible for you. This responsibility is not only about basic necessities of life, but also about your future marriage and childbirth. It doesn't matter, at least the person you Bai Yutang has a crush on, I have to palm my eyes, and your sister-in-law has to go through it too, we have passed both of these tests, and then we can succeed."

Every year after reaching the crown, her parents would urge her to get married or something... Bai Yutang raised his forehead and said, "Brother... I'm still 21, so it's early."

"It's getting late!" Lu Fang shook his head, "Don't think Brother Zhan got married late. He lost his parents five years ago, so he kept his filial piety for three years. After that, no one urged him, so he dragged it until now. You want Look at me, your eldest brother, I will be called Uncle when I am 21. What's more, you will be 22 next year, which is not too early. Besides, you are still early, what about Miss Ye?"

At first, Bai Yutang was full of helplessness, but he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it later. At the same time, he felt a strange and inexplicable joy in his heart, and said, "What does this have to do with Shu Lan?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Lu Fang stared, "She is young, are you still young? You talk about all these years, you and... Let alone girls, who have you been so close to? I heard that you A few days ago, I asked people from all corners of the world to help me inquire about the hidden sword villa and the rumors of the Tang Dynasty. They all said, they never thought that Chinchilla Baiyutang was still so polite, and they still thought they would never get a thank you from you for the rest of their lives Well——I have also heard a little bit about Miss Ye’s origin. You said, this is the first time you entrust so many friends to help, isn’t it because of her? And I heard that you lived in Shaolin Temple in the past three days? I remember because you seem to be a child I don’t really like places like temples, so why have you changed your temper and stayed here for three days?”

"That's just...that's just..." Bai Yutang wanted to say that it was because of his friends, but his Bai Yutang's friends had always been running around for him, but Bai Yutang had never worked hard to do anything for anyone. He admits that many people are his friends, but rarely gets too close to these friends.So even if he thinks Ye Shulan is a friend, it is the most special friend, so special that he has no way to say "just a friend" confidently.

Just as Bai Yutang was hesitating, Ye Shulan suddenly slammed into the door with a sound of "Tangtang is not good——".

As soon as he saw the bright yellow, Bai Yutang's face turned red—why did he feel so ashamed...
