Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

It really snowed that night.

Because the burning charcoal pot in the room was too hot, it always made people feel that their breathing was full of hot air, and it was very stuffy. On the contrary, Bo Yang couldn't sleep well, so he got up in the middle of the night and opened the window to breathe.

The feeling of the cold wind blowing against his face did reduce the heat in his body a lot, but the final result was that when Bo Yang woke up the next day, he felt dizzy and his nose was not breathing well.After all, he still caught a cold, Bo Yang was a little helpless, and secretly blamed himself for being careless.

Because he was still living in Xue's house, he was afraid of alarming people, so he asked Xuan'er to go out and quietly buy medicine and decoct it.For the next two days, Bo Yang didn't go out except to go to Aunt Xue's place.Xue Pan probably still had a grudge in his heart, and if he didn't come over, it would save Bo Yang a lot of trouble.

When it was almost healed, he pretended to be delivering a letter and formally bid farewell to Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue kept a few more words, then packed a lot of things and asked him to bring them back, but Bo Yang declined, saying that there are many days to come and go, and it seems strange to take things back and forth, Aunt Xue Nodding in agreement, he didn't try to persuade him any more, but told him to come here after finishing his work.

It was only when I went out that I met Xue Pan.

He came here in a hurry when he got the news.

Originally Bo Yang continued to live at home, although it was not his yard, but Xue Pan was relieved, thinking that although he was angry, he didn't intend to stop communicating with each other.It's just that he was afraid that Bo Yang would be unhappy seeing him at this moment, so he dared not go to see him, so he only asked people to secretly inquire about the news.

Unexpectedly, I heard that Bo Yang was going to pack up his things and leave early this morning, so he hurried over, barely bumping into the front of the door, and if he was a little later, he might not even be able to see him.

Thinking of this, Xue Pan felt extremely wronged.If he didn't come, did Bo Yang really not even think about sending him a message?

"Brother Yang." He was aggrieved in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he called out a little embarrassedly.

Bo Yang nodded at him, because he was still in Aunt Xue's yard, so he didn't want to be seen as something wrong, and said with a smile, "You're here? Just take me out, so you won't have to worry about your wife."

Aunt Xue sent him out, and said after hearing the words, "That's right, Pan'er, you go see Brother Yang off. He has something to do outside, we can help, so we can't just watch."

The two agreed, went out, and walked quietly for a while, the atmosphere was a bit stagnant, Bo Yang stopped and said, "That was just for my wife, it's actually not a big deal. I'm leaving now. You go back too."

His tone was so calm, Xue Pan's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and he quickly stopped him, "Brother Yang!"

Bo Yang turned to look at him.Xue Pan was speechless for a moment, seeing that Bo Yang wanted to turn around again, he blurted out, "Brother Yang, listen to me!"

He yelled quite terribly, Bo Yang's heart trembled, he lowered his head and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I've already thought about what Brother Yang said yesterday. It's my fault that Brother Yang can't believe it. I will work hard in the future. It's just that before I figure it out, can Brother Yang wait for me? Or... ...or Brother Yang, you tell me how to do it, and I will listen to what you say."

Where is this sentence?And although these words meant to be low-key, they still couldn't bear it. Bo Yang felt a little disappointed, and didn't want to talk, so he waved his hands and wanted to leave.

Xue Pan rushed to stop him, "Brother Yang, did I say something wrong?"

"This kind of thing, no one can help you except you do it yourself." Bo Yang looked at him and said.His eyes were very beautiful, and their eyes were bright, Xue Pan shrank in his heart when he saw him like this, and couldn't help but withdraw his hand that was grabbing his sleeve.

He could feel that Bo Yang's connivance towards him in the past seemed to have been withdrawn.But he knew it clearly, but he couldn't do anything, he could only stand where he was, watching Bo Yang walk away step by step.The cold winter wind blew by, and Xue Pan felt as if he was getting cold from the heart to the outside.

……

Just before the Chinese New Year, Liu Xianglian came to Jinling.

He has been exchanging letters with Bo Yang, knowing that he has moved here, it is not difficult to find a place.

For Bo Yang's current small courtyard, Liu Xianglian is extremely envious.

"You can be regarded as settled down now." After looking inside and out, he praised, "Although this place is not a high courtyard or a luxurious house, it is really likable. Kung fu?"

"What are you afraid of when you spend time?" Bo Yang said, "It's just that you have nothing to do."

"Are you free too?" Liu Xianglian teased him.

Although he and Bo Yang hadn't been in contact for a long time, they hit it off right away, and they exchanged letters and exchanged a lot of things, so it was natural that Bo Yang valued his business.But Liu Xianglian didn't think there was anything wrong with being born in the world and starting a career of his own accord.

Bo Yang didn't want to talk about this question, so he said, "If you want to settle down, it's very cheap to find such a place."

Liu Xianglian shook her head, leaned back in the chair, and said, "I'm different from you. Even if I know about business matters, I don't have the patience to manage him. Let's do it for now, and when I want to settle down, Naturally, I can't avoid disturbing you."

Bo Yang knew that he had such an erratic temperament, if he forced to stay in one place, he might feel uncomfortable, so he didn't persuade him.

Everyone in this world has their own way of life, even if they are close friends, they don't need to let others do what they want.Besides, in fact, Bo Yang didn't say anything, but he yearned for Liu Xianglian's free and easy mentality.

Just thinking about how in the original book, after Third Sister You committed suicide, Liu Xianglian became a monk in a trance and finally became a monk. It can be seen that he also has a story in his heart, and it may not be so indifferent on the surface.But if he didn't say anything, Bo Yang didn't ask.

But when he mentioned this, he also thought of Liu Xianglian's marriage, and asked with a smile, "I heard people say that Liu Erlang's ambition in life is to marry a first-class beauty, isn't it?"

"It's not bad." Liu Xianglian glanced at him and said, "Why, do you have a sister in your family, why don't you agree with me? If your sister has your appearance..."

Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Bo Yang, knowing that his words were out of place, he quickly shut up, and blamed himself, "I'm talking nonsense, Brother Yang, don't take it to heart."

"That's all." Bo Yang waved his hand, and then asked about the business, "Although there is no one in your family, but this year, you should go back to Beijing to worship your ancestors. It's not a special trip to come here at this time Will you see mine?"

Liu Xianglian said, "There are only those things in the capital, which are very boring. As for the ancestors of the Liu family, it is natural that there are people offering sacrifices, and there are not many people like me. Besides, the sacrifices are done with sincerity, even if they are thousands of miles away. , ghosts and gods can also sense it. If the heart is not sincere, what is the benefit of offering it every day?"

After he finished speaking his point of view, he said, "Although I didn't make a special trip to see you this time, it has something to do with you."

"Oh?"

"The person you wrote to trust me to inquire last time has been found." Liu Xianglian said.

Bo Yang's face turned cold, "Where did you find it?"

"Ping'an Prefecture. Speaking of which, he ran far enough. If it wasn't for a coincidence, he wouldn't be caught by me. I've brought him here. You can figure out what to do with him," Liu Xianglian said.

Bo Yang waved his hand, "I'm afraid I have to trouble Brother Liu to go over this matter."

Liu Xianglian looked at him in surprise, "You put so much effort into finding him, why don't you just get up now?"

When Xue Pan was in the capital last year, Wu Xin, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop, cheated him. Not to mention the valuables in the shop, he even set a fire and burned down the whole shop.He also took over business from the palace, causing Xue Pan to almost go to prison.Although this incident is over, Bo Yang is not reconciled to Wu Xin not being found for a day.So he wrote a letter to drag Liu Xianglian to help investigate.

Liu Xianglian walks around and has a very wide network of contacts. This kind of thing is indeed his strong point.But if that's the case, it took such a long time to talk to finally find the person.So this time around, it is mainly to send this person to him.

It's just that he doesn't know that the relationship between Bo Yang and Xue Pan is very rigid now, and they haven't seen each other since they came back last time.Bo Yang hopes that Xue Pan can handle the problems he faces independently and grow up, so it is not easy to come forward at this time.

He mentioned the matter vaguely, but Liu Xianglian is such a person, he has seen many things in his experience, besides, Xue Pan's methods of pestering people were first-class in the past, and Bo Yang specially asked himself for his matter, plus now The vagueness of the words, he has already guessed five or six points.

"Forget it, since you want to do good deeds without leaving your name, I have to take this benefit." Liu Xianglian accepted the matter with a smile.

Bo Yang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling grateful in his heart, although Liu Xianglian guessed it, but this non-questioning attitude made Bo Yang feel uncomfortable.Otherwise, he really doesn't know how to explain this matter.

Because even he himself sometimes has difficulty sorting out the thoughts in the letter.

He smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you were busy from the beginning to the end of this matter. How could it be my credit? It is most appropriate for you to talk about it now."

Liu Xianglian said, "I just ran a few more steps. I don't know where the hundreds of taels of silver that have been put in up and down come from?"

Bo Yang stopped talking.

Afterwards, Liu Xianglian didn't stay there either, and turned around and went directly to Jinling City, sent Wu Xin to Xue's house, and explained the whole story to Xue Pan.It's just that the part about Bo Yang begging himself is hidden in it, and he only said that Rizhaoji left in a hurry that day, but later he remembered that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't open his mouth.Later, when I heard the news, I simply asked someone to look for it, and I simply fulfilled my mission.
