I married my next cousin after being a scumbag
Chapter 101
"Brother Tang, there is a lantern festival in the capital today, do you want to go and see it together?" The person who came was Tang Shi'an, who came to the capital on the same road as an apprentice.
"I'm afraid it won't work. I still have homework assigned by the teacher today, and I don't know if I can finish it, so I won't go with you." Tang Shi'an politely declined. He still has time to play around with him on weekdays, but Today is really not good.
"Well, it's because the teacher values brother Tang, so we won't bother you." Then he walked out the door.
Tang Shi'an had been in this world for three years for no reason, and the person he possessed was a sick young man who couldn't catch his breath during the Chinese New Year, so he just left like this, which made Tang Shi'an cheaper.
Facing familiar strangers, even though he knew that it was his responsibility to take over the body of the victim, he still couldn't fully accept it in his heart.So after he got better, he went to the academy to study.
Although it seems to outsiders that his enlightenment is too late and he doesn't know where he went, but with the memories of his previous life, he can understand many things at a single point.
He has already passed the child's examination twice in three years, and now he is waiting for this year's Qiuwei with the title of scholar. The teacher who taught him thought that he should not waste his time, so he pushed him to study in the capital.And his family is also very wealthy, so he came to the capital with his classmates without worrying about money.
After finishing the strategy theory assigned by the teacher, the sky outside has already darkened. Perhaps he really has some talent in strategy theory, which has been praised by all the teachers who taught him. Floors.
Tang Shi'an rubbed his neck. Although it was already late outside, this would be the Lantern Festival, and the lantern festival would be open until very late. This is the most lively time for the lantern festival, so it's good to go out for a walk by yourself.
After all, he has been in this world for so long, and he still has no sense of belonging, just like if he returns to the world in the history textbook, he still has some familiarity, but this world is weird, and there are three genders, which made him think at first I am dreaming.
But as time went by, he gradually accepted it, because the owner who gave birth to this body was a brother, and the status of a brother was lower than that of a woman. Naturally, the father of this body would not marry as a regular wife, but took a concubine room.
Fortunately, this family probably lacks some children and grandchildren. He is the only kid in the family, and there are two younger sisters and younger brothers, but they were engaged early, and they will marry off in two or three years.So there was no fight in the inner house of the wealthy family, otherwise there would be no bones left because of his brother's father's temper.
Now that he's on the mend and his fame has passed the exam, his brother's father's status has naturally increased. His father promised him that when he passed the Jinshi exam, he would lift his father to the position of a flat wife.Only then did he have to go to Beijing, otherwise he would just be a juren.
The Lantern Festival held in the capital is no worse than other places, and it looks more lively and intense. Although Tang Shi'an has been in the capital for a while, there are not many times when it is so lively.
Since it is a lantern festival, the vendors along the street also sell lanterns. All kinds of lanterns are placed on the vendors, and some of them are lit with candles, which look very beautiful.
Of course, there are lantern riddles. Some vendors use this as a gimmick to attract people to their stalls. If they can’t guess the lantern riddles, they will have to buy them with money.
And the more correct guesses, the more beautiful the lantern will be. The most beautiful lantern not only has more correct answers, but also has to tell the most difficult lantern riddle to get it.
Regarding guessing riddles, Tang Shi'an's mind has always been relatively active, so most of them can't trouble him, but he doesn't like lanterns as much as his brothers and girls, so he just watches the excitement and doesn't participate in it.
Arriving at the busiest market, Tang Shi'an saw a group of people surrounded by people, everyone was curious, Tang Shi'an stopped the people next to him, "Brother, what happened here?"
The person who was caught was watching the excitement just now, and when someone asked about it, he said vividly, "There is a brother who is guessing lantern riddles, and he has guessed almost [-] riddles right. He was stumped by this last one, but I can’t bear to give up this lantern, and I don’t have any money with me, so I’m arguing with the shopkeeper.”
Tang Shi'an clicked his tongue when he heard this, are all brothers in the capital so unreasonable?But it's amazing for a brother to have so many lantern riddles at this lantern festival. I guess he is a young gentleman cultivated by some aristocratic family in the capital.
So Tang Shi'an found a place sideways and squeezed in, intending to see what the lantern looked like, so that a brother with such a noble status could be so haunted.
"Xiao Langjun, don't embarrass me. It's agreed. The lantern can either be won by guessing riddles or bought with money. If someone can solve the puzzle when you go back to get the money, I can't keep it for you. Ah." Although the peddler who bought the lamp said so, but with the gleam in his eyes, he knew that he wanted a lot of money.
Bai Ranxi was a little annoyed, he didn't know where the servant followed him, and he didn't have any money with him, this would be treated as a show, if he revealed his identity as the second son of the Bai family, he might lose his brother and father's face.
"Then make a price, and I'll go back and get the money right away." He didn't really want the lantern, but he just made a bet with people, if he didn't get it, he would have to be laughed at by those people for a long time.
"Here," the vendor thought for a while, "if Mr. Xiaolang is willing to buy it at three times the price, I can keep it for you for a while."
The lanterns at the Lantern Festival are already more expensive than the usual ones. Tang Shian looked at the lanterns at the top, at least a few tens of taels, three times the price is expensive, but I think this brother can still get it of.
"Why don't you go grab it?" Bai Ranxi was impatient. Even if he could get it out, he wouldn't be taken advantage of for nothing. If he was so good at raising prices, it can be seen that he has done some evil things on weekdays, so he can't encourage this person limelight.
"Xiao Lang-jun said the wrong thing. It's obviously a matter of your preference. You can see that Xiao Lang-jun is not a person who can't afford the money. If Xiao Lang-jun doesn't want to buy it, leave quickly. Don't block it." Follow me to do business." The vendor was not in a hurry at all, he just saw that the young man was bound to win the lantern, so he raised the price like this.
It's not right for Bai Ranxi to leave, nor to stay. If he leaves, he loses the bet. Originally, he was disliked in front of these brothers in the capital, and everyone will have the capital to laugh at him when they meet in the future.If you don't leave him, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of, that's what a fool would do.
If his brother knew about it, he would be lectured a lot, and he was in a dilemma. For the first time, Bai Ranxi felt that he was really alone and helpless, and his eyes slowly filled with tears. If he waited for a while, he would cry out.
"Shopkeeper, can I still guess this lantern riddle?" Tang Shi'an could see clearly from the side, thinking of his brother and dad at home, he still couldn't ignore it ruthlessly. Although he can also pay money, there is a simpler way, so why spend money? money.
The vendor didn't want someone to appear suddenly at this time and disrupt his plan, but he had told this little man earlier that someone would guess that he would naturally not stop him, and if he didn't let it, it would be a slap in the face.
"This young master has to ask the young gentleman next to him. If he doesn't want it, young master can guess." The vendor didn't directly agree, but dumped the blame on Bai Ranxi.
Tang Shi'an walked over and handed over a handkerchief. The handkerchief he carried with him was not as fine as the ones worn by brothers and girls, but now there is no better one around, so he can only make do with it, "Wipe it."
Bai Ranxi didn't say a word, didn't take the veil, and said angrily, "I don't want it anymore."
Tang Shi'an chuckled, this young man was really capricious, since he didn't pick up Tang Shi'an, he took it back, "Shopkeeper, can I guess now?"
"can."
You have to guess [-] lantern riddles to get the lanterns, which is embarrassing for ordinary people in the past. For scholars, as long as their brains are not too rigid, they can think of the source.
The previous lantern riddles were very simple. Tang Shi'an glanced at the first riddle, the upper and lower ones, and answered it without even needing time to think, "Cut."
Crested Tiger Tail, "How many."
Chaimen heard the dog barking, "Run."
……
"My lord, this is the last question. If you can answer it, this lantern will be yours." The merchant knew that he couldn't help this young man, because the lantern riddle was the one that the young man hadn't guessed just now.
"Yuan pointed out that the red building is my concubine's house, type one word." Tang Shi'an read it out. This lantern riddle is indeed more difficult than the previous one, because people who don't know the meaning of this poem may not be able to guess it, but they know that they need some brains to do it. , "Shu."
Seeing that someone guessed it, the merchant took down the top lantern without much difficulty, "My lord, this lantern is yours."
This lantern looked extremely gorgeous, but its shape was majestic, and it was precious just by looking at it. Tang Shi'an took the lead, and the crowd naturally cheered, but the excitement dispersed after watching it.
Tang Shi'an and the others came forward almost after they had dispersed. The little brother had been staring at Tang Shi'an just now. Seeing that Tang Shi'an guessed the lantern riddle and took down the lantern, he became frustrated. Tang Shi'an handed over the lantern, "Here is the lantern."
Bai Ranxi looked at the lantern in front of him, not quite understanding, "Why did you give it to me?"
"I don't like lanterns." What Tang Shi'an said was true, he couldn't say that he won for this brother, it would be bad if he misunderstood.
Bai Ranxi didn't believe it, since he didn't like it, why did he go to guess the crossword puzzle to win it, and after raising money for a while, he asked, "Why Shu?"
"The meaning of that poem is that it is my home, and when you take it apart, it means Yushe, and when you put it together, it means this is my home." Tang Shi'an explained that the meaning is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in how to think of Yushe.
"So that's how it is." Bai Ranxi thought it's normal for him not to be able to guess, but it's not too bad for his brother to guess.
Tang Shi'an was still holding the lantern in his hand, and he shook his brother who thought it was normal for him to be unable to guess, "Don't you want the lantern?"
"Yes." Bai Ranxi answered quickly, and felt embarrassed after she finished answering, her face flushed.
Tang Shi'an handed over the lantern, and planned to leave. Originally, he was bored and came out to relax, but now he should go back when his mind is over.
"Wait." Seeing Tang Shian turn around, Bai Ranxi hurried to stop Tang Shian, "You haven't told me your name yet?"
Tang Shi'an paused, and there was no reason to refuse after thinking about it, "My name is Tang Shi'an."
"My name is Bai Ranxi, thank you for the lantern." Bai Ranxi rolled his eyes and thought of a way to keep this person, "I got separated from my servant, can you take me home?"
When Tang Shi'an heard this, he coughed a few times. If he didn't understand what this brother meant, he would have lived such a long life in vain.
"Are you okay." Bai Ranxi hurried over and patted Tang Shi'an on the back. Is it so scary to send him home?
"It's okay." Tang Shi'an waved his hand, thinking how to decline politely.
"Then you don't want to send me home? Or do you think it's frivolous for my brother to invite a strange man to send me home." Bai Ranxi has always been bold, but it's not that he doesn't even want his reputation.
"No." The other party has said so, and he is not an ancient man who sticks to the rules. It is indeed dangerous to leave a brother at the lantern festival. After all, it is already late. "Don't you want to go home? Let's go."
Bai Ranxi smiled again, "But I haven't told you where my home is yet?"
Tang Shi'an was helpless, "I will never leave the capital."
"Then wait, I'll be right back." Bai Ranxi took the lantern and went to the nearby teahouse, and came out after a while, with a bigger smile on his face than before, presumably something good happened in this teahouse.
"I'm back." Seeing that Tang Shi'an hadn't left, Bai Ranxi was even more happy, "My home is on East Street."
The East Street is a bit far from here, and it will take half an hour to walk there. I guess Bai Ranxi came out in a carriage. I don't know if this brother can walk such a long way.However, there was no carriage to be found at this time, and there was no other way but to walk back.
"Where does your family live?" Bai Ranxi was walking on the road. Originally, the Lantern Festival was held on the Lantern Festival, but on this day, all those who were married also made appointments to go out together, and undecided relatives would also watch at the Lantern Festival. See if you can meet someone good.
"I live in the academy." Tang Shi'an didn't rent a house in the capital. First, it was too spacious to live alone in a house, and second, he didn't know how to cook. It was very convenient for the academy to provide meals.
"Academy? You're not from the capital?" Bai Ranxi was a little embarrassed. If he wasn't from the capital, his father would definitely not want him to marry so far away.
"Well, I came to the capital for my studies."
"Then do you want to take the scientific examination?" Bai Ranxi regained his energy when he heard the word "study". All the students in the world want to be famous. Since Tang Shi'an has come to the capital to study, is it because of this year's autumn?
"Hmm." Naturally, he would not miss the scientific examination held every three years, and he was already sixteen in this world, and he would be seventeen in the palace examination next year, which was considered appropriate.
Bai Ranxi calmed down a bit, but he couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he turned his head and looked around.Many people watching the Lantern Festival around focused their attention on the lantern in Bai Ranxi's hands, and Bai Ranxi's face became hot when he saw it. This lantern was given to him by Tang Shi'an.
Tang Shi'an was walking, when his sleeves were suddenly pulled, and he saw Bai Ranxi standing behind him with a flushed face, and then whispered, "I want to set off a river lantern."
I was going to set off the river lanterns when I came out today, but it was delayed because of this lantern. Now it is not far from the river in the city, and it will be far away if I go forward.
Tang Shi'an remembered that Bai Ranxi didn't have any money on him, so he understood, "Let's go."
I have been in this era for so long, and I haven’t participated in many activities except reading.There are many street vendors selling river lanterns by the river, and you don't have to worry about not being able to buy them.Tang Shi'an and Bai Ranxi each chose one and walked towards the river.
There are many people putting river lanterns on the riverside. The river in the inner city of the capital is full of dim river lanterns, which contrast with the buildings on the willow banks on the street, which is really beautiful.
Tang Shi'an picked a place with few people, and put the river lantern he bought into the water, which made the brother next to him burst into laughter.
"What's the matter?" Tang Shi'an was puzzled, whether there was anything special about setting off the river lantern.
"How can there be someone like you who releases river lanterns without writing anything before?" Bai Ranxi asked after snickering.
"But there is no pen and paper here."
"Then why didn't you write it in advance? Most of the people who come here to set off the river lanterns are here to seek marriage." When Bai Ranxi said this, he looked at Tang Shi'an, and Tang Shi'an also understood the code word.
But he doesn't like men, even men who can have children, Tang Shi'an thought about it, and said the words of rejection, "I don't like brother, I'm sorry."
When Bai Ranxi heard this, his face turned pale. Although my brother can have children and marry, he is naturally inferior to the gentle and soft girl's family.That's why many men don't like my brother, but I didn't expect this kind of person in front of me.
Tang Shi'an's words seemed to have touched Bai Ranxi's tear ducts. He didn't cry in front of the lantern vendor, but he kept crying in front of Tang Shi'an, crying, "Aren't you looking down on my brother? .”
A hat of discrimination was placed on Tang Shi'an's head, causing Tang Shi'an a headache, why do brothers like to cry?I remember that when he was at home, his elder brother and dad were too, and they couldn't stop crying.
"That's not what I meant." Tang Shi'an hurriedly explained, "It's just that you are still young, and I just did you a small favor, which may not be worth entrusting."
"I'm not young." Bai Ranxi yelled at Tang Shi'an fiercely, "You just look down on me."
Unable to argue, Tang Shi'an looked at the lantern in Bai Ranxi's hand, "Don't you want to put the river lantern? If you don't put it in the water, the candles inside will go out."
After being reminded by Tang Shi'an, Bai Ranxi remembered that his river lantern hadn't been put on yet, so he quickly wiped away his tears, put the things he wrote before into the river lantern, and then put it into the water.
Tang Shi'an was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know if what he just said was too blunt, this place is no different from modern times, so if everyone refuses, they will be well, if Bai Ranxi can't think about it, it will be bad.
"Bai, Brother Bai, do you still want to go back?" He promised that he would send him home, but he couldn't just ignore it just because of this.
Bai Ranxi was still angry at first, but when he heard Tang Shian's initiative to ask for peace, he nodded, thinking that he was Tang Shian's biggest loss.
On the way, Bai Ranxi kept silent, without the slightest bit of liveliness just now. Tang Shi'an looked at it and felt that he had really done something heinous.
"Why don't you like brother?" Bai Ranxi still wanted to try, but all the young heroes in the capital failed to catch his eyes. Now that he finally thought about it, he didn't expect this kind of result.
It can't be said that it was born, Tang Shi'an didn't want to make Bai Ranxi sad by answering this question, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"
Bai Ranxi blinked, "Bad people can become good people, and good people can also become bad people. You can't tell. Now that you help me, you are a good person."
Tang Shi'an chuckled, he was still too innocent, this kind of temperament must be well protected by his family, "If I am a bad person, because of your identity, I will embarrass you when I marry you, then you will marry me Wouldn't it be ruined forever?"
"You obviously don't know my identity." Bai Ranxi made a grimace, "You refused me just now, but you didn't show mercy at all. Even if, even if you want to marry you, my father and brother will definitely help me check and won't let me I foolishly married a bad guy."
It turned out that he was so unscrupulous because of the support of his father and brother. Tang Shi'an only thought that Bai Ranxi was a child who hadn't grown up, and his temperament was uncertain.
After arriving at East Street, Tang Shi'an followed Bai Ranxi to the outside of the White Mansion, "Thank you today, but I won't give up so easily."
Seeing his elder brother who hopped into the White Mansion after saying harsh words, Tang Shi'an just shook his head amusedly, and didn't take it seriously.
Since then, Tang Shi'an has been concentrating on studying in the academy, and even before meeting Bai Ranxi, he put this matter behind him. As a result, in April, someone from the academy came looking for him.
He didn't have any acquaintances in the capital, but when he heard that someone was looking for him, before he could react, he went out of the gate of the academy, and saw Bai Ranxi standing outside the gate looking around, and when he saw him coming out, he immediately ran to him.
"I said I would come to look for you." Bai Ranxi smiled. At that time, he only knew Tang Shi'an's name after he returned home. He sent someone to look for him, but there was no sign of him, and he even alarmed his elder brother.
As a result, he was grounded. Even though his father and brother were pampering him, he didn't let him behave like this. Afterwards, he encountered some things that delayed him for so long, and he didn't know if Tang Shi'an had forgotten him.
Tang Shi'an looked around, not many people came and went, so he was relieved. The news of this incident would have a great impact on Bai Ranxi. The undecided brother came to meet a strange man in private, and he would only talk about this brother when he talked about it. Even if Bai Ranxi has a high status, he can't suppress the gossip.
"Do you not want me to come?" Seeing Tang Shi'an frowning, Bai Ranxi thought that his arrival had disturbed Tang Shi'an, but he finally escaped from the house and wanted to see Tang Shi'an, but turned away from him.
"Come with me." Tang Shi'an took him to a clean place aside. If he stood so brightly on the street, he couldn't guarantee that Bai Ranxi wouldn't be recognized.
Bai Ranxi passed obediently, and whispered, "It's so fierce."
"Brother Bai, I"
"You don't like brother." Bai Ranxi interrupted before he finished speaking, "You don't like brother, but it doesn't mean you don't like me."
Tang Shi'an was shocked, how could a brother of this era still say such a thing, he took it easy, "Then it's not suitable for us to rule out brother's reason."
"Why is it inappropriate?" Bai Ranxi refused to let go.
"Marriage is about the right family, and our identities are not suitable." Although Tang Shi'an felt that the right family was not important to him, it was still useful to prevaricate Bai Ranxi.
"My father is not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich. Our ancestors also came from farming. This is not a problem." Bai Ranxi puffed up his cheeks and said dissatisfied.
"I want to marry someone who can wash my hands and make soup for me, not someone who was spoiled and raised." Tang Shi'an had no choice but to use his trump card, and of course this was not to lie to Bai Ranxi.If his wife wants to do it, she can do it if she doesn't want to. It doesn't have to be cooking for him every day.
Sure enough, Bai Ranxi's whole face wrinkled when he heard this request, looking very embarrassed, "If I can cook, can you marry me?"
"No, it's just that knowing how to cook is one of them." Tang Shi'an left a way out for himself, if Bai Ranxi couldn't think about it and really went to learn how to cook, then wouldn't he have to marry.
"You wait." Bai Ranxi ran away after finishing speaking. Seeing this turbulent temper, it is indeed possible to learn to cook, but is cooking so easy to learn?If he was eager to learn, he wouldn't be able to rely on takeaway food for his single days, and Bai Ranxi hadn't suffered since he was a child, so he definitely wouldn't be able to persevere.
Of course, what Tang Shi'an didn't consider was that there was also talent.
When Bai Ranxi came home, he pestered his nanny to teach him how to cook. This matter was a big deal, and it alarmed both Bai Jinshan and Luo Yunqian, but no matter how much he asked his brother, he didn't say anything, and just concentrated on learning. Cook.
August is Qiu Wei, and Tang Shi'an will return to his hometown to take the scientific examination at that time, that is to say, he will leave for Qingzhou at the end of June. Qingzhou is not too far from the capital, half a month's drive away.
Because of the request made last time, Tang Shi'an hadn't seen Bai Ranxi for a while, and when he saw Bai Ranxi again, he was looking for him outside the academy with a wooden box alone.
"I cooked the food." Bai Ranxi's eyes were shining brightly. He is still very talented in cooking. Mammy praised him. The food in this wooden box is what he has been learning recently, which has won Mammy's affirmation I was ready to sneak out and bring it to Tang Shi'an.
Tang Shi'an looked at Bai Ranxi with hope in his eyes, whether he accepted it or not, it was all his fault that he thought of such an excuse at the time, and now it is hard to get off.
"Hurry up and take it, the food will be cold in a while." Seeing that Tang Shi'an didn't pick it up, Bai Ranxi sent the box to Tang Shi'an's side.
"Thank you." Tang Shi'an still took it.
This time Bai Ranxi came wearing a veiled hat, and he only lifted the veil in front of Tang Shi'an. He is not stupid. Last time, Tang Shi'an Ji was afraid that his reputation would be damaged. He thought about him even if he didn't like it. He liked it so much. It will definitely be better after him.
"Eat slowly, I'll deliver it to you tomorrow." Seeing Tang Shi'an receiving it, Bai Ranxi felt that it was worth all the hardships he had suffered while learning how to cook.
"You don't need to deliver it tomorrow, the academy has food, it's too troublesome to come and go." Tang Shi'an politely refused, if it was really delivering him food every day, it would be no wonder he had to be stripped of his skin by Bai Ranxi's father and brother.
"No, you promised. I have to give you those who like to cook every day." Bai Ranxi was stubborn. He finally found a way so that he would not give up. "Anyway, I cook every day." Come at this time, if you don't come out, I will wait until you come out."
After finishing speaking, Bai Ranxi ran away again, and Tang Shian had no room to refute at the speed of each escape. Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Tang Shian went back to his bedroom, opened the lid, and the food inside was already cold Yes, but it's early summer, and it's okay to eat it cold.
Tang Shi'an just took a bite of this meal, with a strange look on his face, Bai Ranxi really did a good job, much better than the food in the academy, but it was cold and affected the taste a little.Is this the gap between people?
What Tang Shi'an didn't know was that Bai Ranxi had only learned these few dishes these days, and he didn't know how much food was wasted to make it like this.
In this way, Tang Shi'an received the meals from Bai Ranxi every day, and left after delivering them. He didn't let Tang Shi'an speak a word. One day he deliberately didn't go out, so he asked his classmates to help him go out, but Bai Ranxi really waited. On the outside, I am very persistent.
Early summer is when there is a lot of rain. Tang Shi'an was still listening to the teacher in class, and it began to rain outside, and soon it would be the time when Bai Ranxi came outside the academy.With such heavy rain, Bai Ranxi probably hasn't had time to go out yet.
But he was afraid that Bai Ranxi had already come out without an umbrella, what if he got caught in the rain outside and got a cold?
"Shi'an, since you like rain so much, go down today and write a poem about rain and bring it to me tomorrow." Seeing that Tang Shi'an was distracted, the gentleman in the hall reminded him.
The entire academy knew that Tang Shi'an was extremely biased, and he ranked first in policy discussions and last in poetry and prose.This assignment is easy for the beneficiary, but difficult for Tang Shi'an.
"Yes, sir." Tang Shi'an was forced to look away, and turned his attention back to the poems and prose that the husband said, but it was useless.Fortunately, after school soon, Tang Shi'an took the umbrella and went outside.
After arriving outside the gate of the academy, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was almost impossible to see people clearly. There was no sign of Bai Ranxi outside the academy. Tang Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief, saying that Bai Ranxi was still smart.Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the academy, he inadvertently caught sight of a shadow at the entrance of the alley.
There is an eave at the entrance of the alley, so it should be here to hide from the rain, but it is useless to hide under the eaves under such a heavy rain. Tang Shian was afraid that his guess would come true, so he took an umbrella and walked to the entrance of the alley. Bai Ranxi.
At this moment, Bai Ranxi was drenched all over, holding the wooden box in his hand in embarrassment, a veiled hat naturally couldn't stop the rain.
"You're here, today's meal." Seeing someone holding an umbrella for him, Bai Ranxi looked up. It was Tang Shi'an. Finally, when the person arrived, he hurriedly handed over the wooden box, "You didn't bring yesterday's wooden box out. ah."
Tang Shi'an didn't say anything, instead of taking the wooden box, he took Bai Ranxi's hand and entered the academy. At this time, everyone in the academy was eating and there was no one in sight, so he directly pulled Bai Ranxi into his Sleep in bed, close the door.
"Why did you drag me in?" Bai Ranxi was puzzled, he had to go back quickly, otherwise his mother would definitely lecture him if he found out.
"It's raining too much outside." Just now Tang Shi'an took an umbrella and was drenched in the cold, but at this moment, he couldn't let Bai Ranxi go back in the shower.
Tang Shi'an took a set of clothes and towels that he hadn't worn and handed them to Bai Ranxi, "Wipe them off and change into clothes. Wearing wet clothes like this on your body can easily catch the wind and cold."
"Ah." Even though Bai Ranxi was bold, he never thought about wearing other men's clothes and changing them here. Would it be too, too shameless.
"Don't worry, I haven't worn it." Tang Shi'an put the clothes by Bai Ranxi's hand, and went to close the window, "I'm going out now, you put the wooden bolt on the door and change your clothes."
Although the people in the academy are all polite students, Baobuqi has a few careless students who just push the door in without knocking. He is also a man, but Bai Ranxi is different because he is a brother.
Tang Shi'an went to the dining hall with his wet clothes on. It's going to rain, and there is boiled ginger soup in the dining hall. Thinking that Bai Ranxi might not have eaten, Tang Shi'an picked out a few light dishes and put them back in the wooden box .
Tang Shi'an knocked on the door, "It's me."
Hearing it was Tang Shi'an's voice, Bai Ranxi opened the door immediately. Tang Shi'an was taller than him, and the clothes were a bit too big for him. Fortunately, it was not winter, so he wouldn't be cold in this way.
"Drink the ginger soup." Tang Shi'an brought out the ginger soup and handed it to Bai Ranxi, seeing Bai Ranxi frowning, but still obediently drank it.
"Have you eaten yet?" The academy opened relatively early, and most people hadn't eaten yet.
Bai Ranxi shook his head, he now uses the excuse of learning to cook by himself, and eats in his yard every day at noon, and only the nanny knows that he sneaks out to deliver meals to Tang Shi'an every day, but if he doesn't go back today, his mother must know that he ran away home business.
Tang Shi'an opened the wooden box brought by Bai Ranxi and the wooden box brought by the dining hall. What Bai Ranxi brought was still warm, and the one Tang Shi'an brought was still warm, so Tang Shi'an handed the hot one to Bai. Ran Xi, he ate warmly by himself.
"You don't have to bring me food anymore."
Bai Ranxi was eating, when he heard what Tang Shian said, his heart jumped like ice, obviously he worked so hard to develop towards Tang Shian's favorite side, why did he still reject him.
Tang Shi'an didn't notice the change in Bai Ranxi's face, and he was a little embarrassed when he said the following words, "I promise you."
"Agreed, do you mean to marry me?" Bai Ranxi's sinking heart was raised again because of Tang Shi'an's later words.
"Well, I will marry you, but you are still young, so I will come to propose marriage first, and when I get the honor, I will come to marry you." Tang Shi'an just wanted to wait for him to get the honor before going to the White Mansion to propose marriage, but he was afraid that Bai Ran would marry you. What Xi Xi did during this period was discovered and criticized by others.
If they have a marriage contract, then even though Bai Ranxi did something out of line, it's hard for others to say anything.
Bai Ranxi didn't know why Tang Shi'an suddenly changed his mind, and he hasn't recovered yet.
Looking at the sluggish Bai Ranxi, Tang Shi'an chuckled, "You're already wearing my clothes. Your parents will definitely find out when you go home today. I'll go back with you when the time comes."
The clothes that Bai Ranxi changed out of were all soaked. Today's heavy rain did not dry out so quickly.At that time, I will definitely have to go back wearing a suit of clothes, so I can't hide it.
"But if you go back with me, my father and elder brother may break your leg." Bai Ranxi is not alarmist, as far as what he has done during this period, if he is found out, he will be taught a lesson, and Tang Shi'an is his courteous object , will be worse.If he came directly to propose marriage, he was afraid that he would confront Tang Shi'an, a desperate mandarin duck.
"I have to go sooner or later. This time it's just a door-to-door visit. After that, I will leave according to the etiquette." Proposing marriage requires a matchmaker. If he said that he came to propose marriage without preparing anything, it would be easy to break his leg.
"Alright then." Bai Ranxi was naturally afraid, and with Tang Shi'an accompanying him back, he would not be afraid anymore.
evening.
The Bai family found out that Bai Ranxi was not there, and it was raining so heavily outside, everyone was worried, and sent people out to look for it, but they couldn't find it. When Bai Jinshan and Bai Ranxing came back to find out, it would be even more serious.
At this time, Bai Ranxi walked home with Tang Shi'an slowly wearing a veiled hat. He also knew that he was afraid, thinking that he could delay for a while.But the distance between the academy and the Bai family is only two minutes, no matter how long it takes, it will be there soon.
When he arrived at the gate of the Bai Mansion, Tang Shi'an saw Bai Ranxi standing behind him, fearing that he would be discovered, he couldn't help laughing, and then came to the door to tell his intentions.
Seeing that his second young master had finally returned, the guard at the door did not dare to delay to report to the old lady.
Tang Shi'an was welcomed into the main hall, and Bai Ranxi also stayed here until Bai Jinshan, Luo Yunqian, and Bai Ranxing came over, and Bai Ranxi completely hid behind Tang Shi'an's back.
Luo Yunqian watched her brother go out and change his clothes, and for a moment, she thought of the worst possibility, and almost passed out.
"Xi'er, come here." Bai Jinshan's face also became serious, seeing Bai Ranxi's actions, he knew that he was in trouble again.
"Father, mother, brother." Bai Ranxi didn't dare to come out, so she could only call them in a low voice, hoping to reduce their anger.
Tang Shi'an had no choice but to look like a beast with such a human face, "Master Bai, Ran Xi was caught in the rain today, so I let him wear the clothes I bought for the time being, it's not what you think."
"Well, Brother Shi'an took me in, otherwise I would have been outside in the rain." Bai Ranxi poked his head out and explained.
Bai Jinshan and Bai Ranxing turned their attention to Tang Shi'an, "Then thank you for your help, Young Master. It's already late today, so we won't keep Young Master any longer."
This meant chasing Tang Shi'an away, Bai Ranxi hurriedly grabbed Tang Shi'an's clothes.Tell him not to go, he is afraid.
Tang Shi'an naturally didn't intend to leave, "Master Bai, although it's a bit abrupt, I hope Master Bai will give the students a chance. The students like Ran Xi."
After saying this, Bai Jinshan immediately turned dark, but looking at Bai Ranxi's appearance, he knew that he also fell in love with this kid.
"I'm afraid it won't work. I still have homework assigned by the teacher today, and I don't know if I can finish it, so I won't go with you." Tang Shi'an politely declined. He still has time to play around with him on weekdays, but Today is really not good.
"Well, it's because the teacher values brother Tang, so we won't bother you." Then he walked out the door.
Tang Shi'an had been in this world for three years for no reason, and the person he possessed was a sick young man who couldn't catch his breath during the Chinese New Year, so he just left like this, which made Tang Shi'an cheaper.
Facing familiar strangers, even though he knew that it was his responsibility to take over the body of the victim, he still couldn't fully accept it in his heart.So after he got better, he went to the academy to study.
Although it seems to outsiders that his enlightenment is too late and he doesn't know where he went, but with the memories of his previous life, he can understand many things at a single point.
He has already passed the child's examination twice in three years, and now he is waiting for this year's Qiuwei with the title of scholar. The teacher who taught him thought that he should not waste his time, so he pushed him to study in the capital.And his family is also very wealthy, so he came to the capital with his classmates without worrying about money.
After finishing the strategy theory assigned by the teacher, the sky outside has already darkened. Perhaps he really has some talent in strategy theory, which has been praised by all the teachers who taught him. Floors.
Tang Shi'an rubbed his neck. Although it was already late outside, this would be the Lantern Festival, and the lantern festival would be open until very late. This is the most lively time for the lantern festival, so it's good to go out for a walk by yourself.
After all, he has been in this world for so long, and he still has no sense of belonging, just like if he returns to the world in the history textbook, he still has some familiarity, but this world is weird, and there are three genders, which made him think at first I am dreaming.
But as time went by, he gradually accepted it, because the owner who gave birth to this body was a brother, and the status of a brother was lower than that of a woman. Naturally, the father of this body would not marry as a regular wife, but took a concubine room.
Fortunately, this family probably lacks some children and grandchildren. He is the only kid in the family, and there are two younger sisters and younger brothers, but they were engaged early, and they will marry off in two or three years.So there was no fight in the inner house of the wealthy family, otherwise there would be no bones left because of his brother's father's temper.
Now that he's on the mend and his fame has passed the exam, his brother's father's status has naturally increased. His father promised him that when he passed the Jinshi exam, he would lift his father to the position of a flat wife.Only then did he have to go to Beijing, otherwise he would just be a juren.
The Lantern Festival held in the capital is no worse than other places, and it looks more lively and intense. Although Tang Shi'an has been in the capital for a while, there are not many times when it is so lively.
Since it is a lantern festival, the vendors along the street also sell lanterns. All kinds of lanterns are placed on the vendors, and some of them are lit with candles, which look very beautiful.
Of course, there are lantern riddles. Some vendors use this as a gimmick to attract people to their stalls. If they can’t guess the lantern riddles, they will have to buy them with money.
And the more correct guesses, the more beautiful the lantern will be. The most beautiful lantern not only has more correct answers, but also has to tell the most difficult lantern riddle to get it.
Regarding guessing riddles, Tang Shi'an's mind has always been relatively active, so most of them can't trouble him, but he doesn't like lanterns as much as his brothers and girls, so he just watches the excitement and doesn't participate in it.
Arriving at the busiest market, Tang Shi'an saw a group of people surrounded by people, everyone was curious, Tang Shi'an stopped the people next to him, "Brother, what happened here?"
The person who was caught was watching the excitement just now, and when someone asked about it, he said vividly, "There is a brother who is guessing lantern riddles, and he has guessed almost [-] riddles right. He was stumped by this last one, but I can’t bear to give up this lantern, and I don’t have any money with me, so I’m arguing with the shopkeeper.”
Tang Shi'an clicked his tongue when he heard this, are all brothers in the capital so unreasonable?But it's amazing for a brother to have so many lantern riddles at this lantern festival. I guess he is a young gentleman cultivated by some aristocratic family in the capital.
So Tang Shi'an found a place sideways and squeezed in, intending to see what the lantern looked like, so that a brother with such a noble status could be so haunted.
"Xiao Langjun, don't embarrass me. It's agreed. The lantern can either be won by guessing riddles or bought with money. If someone can solve the puzzle when you go back to get the money, I can't keep it for you. Ah." Although the peddler who bought the lamp said so, but with the gleam in his eyes, he knew that he wanted a lot of money.
Bai Ranxi was a little annoyed, he didn't know where the servant followed him, and he didn't have any money with him, this would be treated as a show, if he revealed his identity as the second son of the Bai family, he might lose his brother and father's face.
"Then make a price, and I'll go back and get the money right away." He didn't really want the lantern, but he just made a bet with people, if he didn't get it, he would have to be laughed at by those people for a long time.
"Here," the vendor thought for a while, "if Mr. Xiaolang is willing to buy it at three times the price, I can keep it for you for a while."
The lanterns at the Lantern Festival are already more expensive than the usual ones. Tang Shian looked at the lanterns at the top, at least a few tens of taels, three times the price is expensive, but I think this brother can still get it of.
"Why don't you go grab it?" Bai Ranxi was impatient. Even if he could get it out, he wouldn't be taken advantage of for nothing. If he was so good at raising prices, it can be seen that he has done some evil things on weekdays, so he can't encourage this person limelight.
"Xiao Lang-jun said the wrong thing. It's obviously a matter of your preference. You can see that Xiao Lang-jun is not a person who can't afford the money. If Xiao Lang-jun doesn't want to buy it, leave quickly. Don't block it." Follow me to do business." The vendor was not in a hurry at all, he just saw that the young man was bound to win the lantern, so he raised the price like this.
It's not right for Bai Ranxi to leave, nor to stay. If he leaves, he loses the bet. Originally, he was disliked in front of these brothers in the capital, and everyone will have the capital to laugh at him when they meet in the future.If you don't leave him, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of, that's what a fool would do.
If his brother knew about it, he would be lectured a lot, and he was in a dilemma. For the first time, Bai Ranxi felt that he was really alone and helpless, and his eyes slowly filled with tears. If he waited for a while, he would cry out.
"Shopkeeper, can I still guess this lantern riddle?" Tang Shi'an could see clearly from the side, thinking of his brother and dad at home, he still couldn't ignore it ruthlessly. Although he can also pay money, there is a simpler way, so why spend money? money.
The vendor didn't want someone to appear suddenly at this time and disrupt his plan, but he had told this little man earlier that someone would guess that he would naturally not stop him, and if he didn't let it, it would be a slap in the face.
"This young master has to ask the young gentleman next to him. If he doesn't want it, young master can guess." The vendor didn't directly agree, but dumped the blame on Bai Ranxi.
Tang Shi'an walked over and handed over a handkerchief. The handkerchief he carried with him was not as fine as the ones worn by brothers and girls, but now there is no better one around, so he can only make do with it, "Wipe it."
Bai Ranxi didn't say a word, didn't take the veil, and said angrily, "I don't want it anymore."
Tang Shi'an chuckled, this young man was really capricious, since he didn't pick up Tang Shi'an, he took it back, "Shopkeeper, can I guess now?"
"can."
You have to guess [-] lantern riddles to get the lanterns, which is embarrassing for ordinary people in the past. For scholars, as long as their brains are not too rigid, they can think of the source.
The previous lantern riddles were very simple. Tang Shi'an glanced at the first riddle, the upper and lower ones, and answered it without even needing time to think, "Cut."
Crested Tiger Tail, "How many."
Chaimen heard the dog barking, "Run."
……
"My lord, this is the last question. If you can answer it, this lantern will be yours." The merchant knew that he couldn't help this young man, because the lantern riddle was the one that the young man hadn't guessed just now.
"Yuan pointed out that the red building is my concubine's house, type one word." Tang Shi'an read it out. This lantern riddle is indeed more difficult than the previous one, because people who don't know the meaning of this poem may not be able to guess it, but they know that they need some brains to do it. , "Shu."
Seeing that someone guessed it, the merchant took down the top lantern without much difficulty, "My lord, this lantern is yours."
This lantern looked extremely gorgeous, but its shape was majestic, and it was precious just by looking at it. Tang Shi'an took the lead, and the crowd naturally cheered, but the excitement dispersed after watching it.
Tang Shi'an and the others came forward almost after they had dispersed. The little brother had been staring at Tang Shi'an just now. Seeing that Tang Shi'an guessed the lantern riddle and took down the lantern, he became frustrated. Tang Shi'an handed over the lantern, "Here is the lantern."
Bai Ranxi looked at the lantern in front of him, not quite understanding, "Why did you give it to me?"
"I don't like lanterns." What Tang Shi'an said was true, he couldn't say that he won for this brother, it would be bad if he misunderstood.
Bai Ranxi didn't believe it, since he didn't like it, why did he go to guess the crossword puzzle to win it, and after raising money for a while, he asked, "Why Shu?"
"The meaning of that poem is that it is my home, and when you take it apart, it means Yushe, and when you put it together, it means this is my home." Tang Shi'an explained that the meaning is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in how to think of Yushe.
"So that's how it is." Bai Ranxi thought it's normal for him not to be able to guess, but it's not too bad for his brother to guess.
Tang Shi'an was still holding the lantern in his hand, and he shook his brother who thought it was normal for him to be unable to guess, "Don't you want the lantern?"
"Yes." Bai Ranxi answered quickly, and felt embarrassed after she finished answering, her face flushed.
Tang Shi'an handed over the lantern, and planned to leave. Originally, he was bored and came out to relax, but now he should go back when his mind is over.
"Wait." Seeing Tang Shian turn around, Bai Ranxi hurried to stop Tang Shian, "You haven't told me your name yet?"
Tang Shi'an paused, and there was no reason to refuse after thinking about it, "My name is Tang Shi'an."
"My name is Bai Ranxi, thank you for the lantern." Bai Ranxi rolled his eyes and thought of a way to keep this person, "I got separated from my servant, can you take me home?"
When Tang Shi'an heard this, he coughed a few times. If he didn't understand what this brother meant, he would have lived such a long life in vain.
"Are you okay." Bai Ranxi hurried over and patted Tang Shi'an on the back. Is it so scary to send him home?
"It's okay." Tang Shi'an waved his hand, thinking how to decline politely.
"Then you don't want to send me home? Or do you think it's frivolous for my brother to invite a strange man to send me home." Bai Ranxi has always been bold, but it's not that he doesn't even want his reputation.
"No." The other party has said so, and he is not an ancient man who sticks to the rules. It is indeed dangerous to leave a brother at the lantern festival. After all, it is already late. "Don't you want to go home? Let's go."
Bai Ranxi smiled again, "But I haven't told you where my home is yet?"
Tang Shi'an was helpless, "I will never leave the capital."
"Then wait, I'll be right back." Bai Ranxi took the lantern and went to the nearby teahouse, and came out after a while, with a bigger smile on his face than before, presumably something good happened in this teahouse.
"I'm back." Seeing that Tang Shi'an hadn't left, Bai Ranxi was even more happy, "My home is on East Street."
The East Street is a bit far from here, and it will take half an hour to walk there. I guess Bai Ranxi came out in a carriage. I don't know if this brother can walk such a long way.However, there was no carriage to be found at this time, and there was no other way but to walk back.
"Where does your family live?" Bai Ranxi was walking on the road. Originally, the Lantern Festival was held on the Lantern Festival, but on this day, all those who were married also made appointments to go out together, and undecided relatives would also watch at the Lantern Festival. See if you can meet someone good.
"I live in the academy." Tang Shi'an didn't rent a house in the capital. First, it was too spacious to live alone in a house, and second, he didn't know how to cook. It was very convenient for the academy to provide meals.
"Academy? You're not from the capital?" Bai Ranxi was a little embarrassed. If he wasn't from the capital, his father would definitely not want him to marry so far away.
"Well, I came to the capital for my studies."
"Then do you want to take the scientific examination?" Bai Ranxi regained his energy when he heard the word "study". All the students in the world want to be famous. Since Tang Shi'an has come to the capital to study, is it because of this year's autumn?
"Hmm." Naturally, he would not miss the scientific examination held every three years, and he was already sixteen in this world, and he would be seventeen in the palace examination next year, which was considered appropriate.
Bai Ranxi calmed down a bit, but he couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he turned his head and looked around.Many people watching the Lantern Festival around focused their attention on the lantern in Bai Ranxi's hands, and Bai Ranxi's face became hot when he saw it. This lantern was given to him by Tang Shi'an.
Tang Shi'an was walking, when his sleeves were suddenly pulled, and he saw Bai Ranxi standing behind him with a flushed face, and then whispered, "I want to set off a river lantern."
I was going to set off the river lanterns when I came out today, but it was delayed because of this lantern. Now it is not far from the river in the city, and it will be far away if I go forward.
Tang Shi'an remembered that Bai Ranxi didn't have any money on him, so he understood, "Let's go."
I have been in this era for so long, and I haven’t participated in many activities except reading.There are many street vendors selling river lanterns by the river, and you don't have to worry about not being able to buy them.Tang Shi'an and Bai Ranxi each chose one and walked towards the river.
There are many people putting river lanterns on the riverside. The river in the inner city of the capital is full of dim river lanterns, which contrast with the buildings on the willow banks on the street, which is really beautiful.
Tang Shi'an picked a place with few people, and put the river lantern he bought into the water, which made the brother next to him burst into laughter.
"What's the matter?" Tang Shi'an was puzzled, whether there was anything special about setting off the river lantern.
"How can there be someone like you who releases river lanterns without writing anything before?" Bai Ranxi asked after snickering.
"But there is no pen and paper here."
"Then why didn't you write it in advance? Most of the people who come here to set off the river lanterns are here to seek marriage." When Bai Ranxi said this, he looked at Tang Shi'an, and Tang Shi'an also understood the code word.
But he doesn't like men, even men who can have children, Tang Shi'an thought about it, and said the words of rejection, "I don't like brother, I'm sorry."
When Bai Ranxi heard this, his face turned pale. Although my brother can have children and marry, he is naturally inferior to the gentle and soft girl's family.That's why many men don't like my brother, but I didn't expect this kind of person in front of me.
Tang Shi'an's words seemed to have touched Bai Ranxi's tear ducts. He didn't cry in front of the lantern vendor, but he kept crying in front of Tang Shi'an, crying, "Aren't you looking down on my brother? .”
A hat of discrimination was placed on Tang Shi'an's head, causing Tang Shi'an a headache, why do brothers like to cry?I remember that when he was at home, his elder brother and dad were too, and they couldn't stop crying.
"That's not what I meant." Tang Shi'an hurriedly explained, "It's just that you are still young, and I just did you a small favor, which may not be worth entrusting."
"I'm not young." Bai Ranxi yelled at Tang Shi'an fiercely, "You just look down on me."
Unable to argue, Tang Shi'an looked at the lantern in Bai Ranxi's hand, "Don't you want to put the river lantern? If you don't put it in the water, the candles inside will go out."
After being reminded by Tang Shi'an, Bai Ranxi remembered that his river lantern hadn't been put on yet, so he quickly wiped away his tears, put the things he wrote before into the river lantern, and then put it into the water.
Tang Shi'an was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know if what he just said was too blunt, this place is no different from modern times, so if everyone refuses, they will be well, if Bai Ranxi can't think about it, it will be bad.
"Bai, Brother Bai, do you still want to go back?" He promised that he would send him home, but he couldn't just ignore it just because of this.
Bai Ranxi was still angry at first, but when he heard Tang Shian's initiative to ask for peace, he nodded, thinking that he was Tang Shian's biggest loss.
On the way, Bai Ranxi kept silent, without the slightest bit of liveliness just now. Tang Shi'an looked at it and felt that he had really done something heinous.
"Why don't you like brother?" Bai Ranxi still wanted to try, but all the young heroes in the capital failed to catch his eyes. Now that he finally thought about it, he didn't expect this kind of result.
It can't be said that it was born, Tang Shi'an didn't want to make Bai Ranxi sad by answering this question, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?"
Bai Ranxi blinked, "Bad people can become good people, and good people can also become bad people. You can't tell. Now that you help me, you are a good person."
Tang Shi'an chuckled, he was still too innocent, this kind of temperament must be well protected by his family, "If I am a bad person, because of your identity, I will embarrass you when I marry you, then you will marry me Wouldn't it be ruined forever?"
"You obviously don't know my identity." Bai Ranxi made a grimace, "You refused me just now, but you didn't show mercy at all. Even if, even if you want to marry you, my father and brother will definitely help me check and won't let me I foolishly married a bad guy."
It turned out that he was so unscrupulous because of the support of his father and brother. Tang Shi'an only thought that Bai Ranxi was a child who hadn't grown up, and his temperament was uncertain.
After arriving at East Street, Tang Shi'an followed Bai Ranxi to the outside of the White Mansion, "Thank you today, but I won't give up so easily."
Seeing his elder brother who hopped into the White Mansion after saying harsh words, Tang Shi'an just shook his head amusedly, and didn't take it seriously.
Since then, Tang Shi'an has been concentrating on studying in the academy, and even before meeting Bai Ranxi, he put this matter behind him. As a result, in April, someone from the academy came looking for him.
He didn't have any acquaintances in the capital, but when he heard that someone was looking for him, before he could react, he went out of the gate of the academy, and saw Bai Ranxi standing outside the gate looking around, and when he saw him coming out, he immediately ran to him.
"I said I would come to look for you." Bai Ranxi smiled. At that time, he only knew Tang Shi'an's name after he returned home. He sent someone to look for him, but there was no sign of him, and he even alarmed his elder brother.
As a result, he was grounded. Even though his father and brother were pampering him, he didn't let him behave like this. Afterwards, he encountered some things that delayed him for so long, and he didn't know if Tang Shi'an had forgotten him.
Tang Shi'an looked around, not many people came and went, so he was relieved. The news of this incident would have a great impact on Bai Ranxi. The undecided brother came to meet a strange man in private, and he would only talk about this brother when he talked about it. Even if Bai Ranxi has a high status, he can't suppress the gossip.
"Do you not want me to come?" Seeing Tang Shi'an frowning, Bai Ranxi thought that his arrival had disturbed Tang Shi'an, but he finally escaped from the house and wanted to see Tang Shi'an, but turned away from him.
"Come with me." Tang Shi'an took him to a clean place aside. If he stood so brightly on the street, he couldn't guarantee that Bai Ranxi wouldn't be recognized.
Bai Ranxi passed obediently, and whispered, "It's so fierce."
"Brother Bai, I"
"You don't like brother." Bai Ranxi interrupted before he finished speaking, "You don't like brother, but it doesn't mean you don't like me."
Tang Shi'an was shocked, how could a brother of this era still say such a thing, he took it easy, "Then it's not suitable for us to rule out brother's reason."
"Why is it inappropriate?" Bai Ranxi refused to let go.
"Marriage is about the right family, and our identities are not suitable." Although Tang Shi'an felt that the right family was not important to him, it was still useful to prevaricate Bai Ranxi.
"My father is not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich. Our ancestors also came from farming. This is not a problem." Bai Ranxi puffed up his cheeks and said dissatisfied.
"I want to marry someone who can wash my hands and make soup for me, not someone who was spoiled and raised." Tang Shi'an had no choice but to use his trump card, and of course this was not to lie to Bai Ranxi.If his wife wants to do it, she can do it if she doesn't want to. It doesn't have to be cooking for him every day.
Sure enough, Bai Ranxi's whole face wrinkled when he heard this request, looking very embarrassed, "If I can cook, can you marry me?"
"No, it's just that knowing how to cook is one of them." Tang Shi'an left a way out for himself, if Bai Ranxi couldn't think about it and really went to learn how to cook, then wouldn't he have to marry.
"You wait." Bai Ranxi ran away after finishing speaking. Seeing this turbulent temper, it is indeed possible to learn to cook, but is cooking so easy to learn?If he was eager to learn, he wouldn't be able to rely on takeaway food for his single days, and Bai Ranxi hadn't suffered since he was a child, so he definitely wouldn't be able to persevere.
Of course, what Tang Shi'an didn't consider was that there was also talent.
When Bai Ranxi came home, he pestered his nanny to teach him how to cook. This matter was a big deal, and it alarmed both Bai Jinshan and Luo Yunqian, but no matter how much he asked his brother, he didn't say anything, and just concentrated on learning. Cook.
August is Qiu Wei, and Tang Shi'an will return to his hometown to take the scientific examination at that time, that is to say, he will leave for Qingzhou at the end of June. Qingzhou is not too far from the capital, half a month's drive away.
Because of the request made last time, Tang Shi'an hadn't seen Bai Ranxi for a while, and when he saw Bai Ranxi again, he was looking for him outside the academy with a wooden box alone.
"I cooked the food." Bai Ranxi's eyes were shining brightly. He is still very talented in cooking. Mammy praised him. The food in this wooden box is what he has been learning recently, which has won Mammy's affirmation I was ready to sneak out and bring it to Tang Shi'an.
Tang Shi'an looked at Bai Ranxi with hope in his eyes, whether he accepted it or not, it was all his fault that he thought of such an excuse at the time, and now it is hard to get off.
"Hurry up and take it, the food will be cold in a while." Seeing that Tang Shi'an didn't pick it up, Bai Ranxi sent the box to Tang Shi'an's side.
"Thank you." Tang Shi'an still took it.
This time Bai Ranxi came wearing a veiled hat, and he only lifted the veil in front of Tang Shi'an. He is not stupid. Last time, Tang Shi'an Ji was afraid that his reputation would be damaged. He thought about him even if he didn't like it. He liked it so much. It will definitely be better after him.
"Eat slowly, I'll deliver it to you tomorrow." Seeing Tang Shi'an receiving it, Bai Ranxi felt that it was worth all the hardships he had suffered while learning how to cook.
"You don't need to deliver it tomorrow, the academy has food, it's too troublesome to come and go." Tang Shi'an politely refused, if it was really delivering him food every day, it would be no wonder he had to be stripped of his skin by Bai Ranxi's father and brother.
"No, you promised. I have to give you those who like to cook every day." Bai Ranxi was stubborn. He finally found a way so that he would not give up. "Anyway, I cook every day." Come at this time, if you don't come out, I will wait until you come out."
After finishing speaking, Bai Ranxi ran away again, and Tang Shian had no room to refute at the speed of each escape. Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Tang Shian went back to his bedroom, opened the lid, and the food inside was already cold Yes, but it's early summer, and it's okay to eat it cold.
Tang Shi'an just took a bite of this meal, with a strange look on his face, Bai Ranxi really did a good job, much better than the food in the academy, but it was cold and affected the taste a little.Is this the gap between people?
What Tang Shi'an didn't know was that Bai Ranxi had only learned these few dishes these days, and he didn't know how much food was wasted to make it like this.
In this way, Tang Shi'an received the meals from Bai Ranxi every day, and left after delivering them. He didn't let Tang Shi'an speak a word. One day he deliberately didn't go out, so he asked his classmates to help him go out, but Bai Ranxi really waited. On the outside, I am very persistent.
Early summer is when there is a lot of rain. Tang Shi'an was still listening to the teacher in class, and it began to rain outside, and soon it would be the time when Bai Ranxi came outside the academy.With such heavy rain, Bai Ranxi probably hasn't had time to go out yet.
But he was afraid that Bai Ranxi had already come out without an umbrella, what if he got caught in the rain outside and got a cold?
"Shi'an, since you like rain so much, go down today and write a poem about rain and bring it to me tomorrow." Seeing that Tang Shi'an was distracted, the gentleman in the hall reminded him.
The entire academy knew that Tang Shi'an was extremely biased, and he ranked first in policy discussions and last in poetry and prose.This assignment is easy for the beneficiary, but difficult for Tang Shi'an.
"Yes, sir." Tang Shi'an was forced to look away, and turned his attention back to the poems and prose that the husband said, but it was useless.Fortunately, after school soon, Tang Shi'an took the umbrella and went outside.
After arriving outside the gate of the academy, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was almost impossible to see people clearly. There was no sign of Bai Ranxi outside the academy. Tang Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief, saying that Bai Ranxi was still smart.Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the academy, he inadvertently caught sight of a shadow at the entrance of the alley.
There is an eave at the entrance of the alley, so it should be here to hide from the rain, but it is useless to hide under the eaves under such a heavy rain. Tang Shian was afraid that his guess would come true, so he took an umbrella and walked to the entrance of the alley. Bai Ranxi.
At this moment, Bai Ranxi was drenched all over, holding the wooden box in his hand in embarrassment, a veiled hat naturally couldn't stop the rain.
"You're here, today's meal." Seeing someone holding an umbrella for him, Bai Ranxi looked up. It was Tang Shi'an. Finally, when the person arrived, he hurriedly handed over the wooden box, "You didn't bring yesterday's wooden box out. ah."
Tang Shi'an didn't say anything, instead of taking the wooden box, he took Bai Ranxi's hand and entered the academy. At this time, everyone in the academy was eating and there was no one in sight, so he directly pulled Bai Ranxi into his Sleep in bed, close the door.
"Why did you drag me in?" Bai Ranxi was puzzled, he had to go back quickly, otherwise his mother would definitely lecture him if he found out.
"It's raining too much outside." Just now Tang Shi'an took an umbrella and was drenched in the cold, but at this moment, he couldn't let Bai Ranxi go back in the shower.
Tang Shi'an took a set of clothes and towels that he hadn't worn and handed them to Bai Ranxi, "Wipe them off and change into clothes. Wearing wet clothes like this on your body can easily catch the wind and cold."
"Ah." Even though Bai Ranxi was bold, he never thought about wearing other men's clothes and changing them here. Would it be too, too shameless.
"Don't worry, I haven't worn it." Tang Shi'an put the clothes by Bai Ranxi's hand, and went to close the window, "I'm going out now, you put the wooden bolt on the door and change your clothes."
Although the people in the academy are all polite students, Baobuqi has a few careless students who just push the door in without knocking. He is also a man, but Bai Ranxi is different because he is a brother.
Tang Shi'an went to the dining hall with his wet clothes on. It's going to rain, and there is boiled ginger soup in the dining hall. Thinking that Bai Ranxi might not have eaten, Tang Shi'an picked out a few light dishes and put them back in the wooden box .
Tang Shi'an knocked on the door, "It's me."
Hearing it was Tang Shi'an's voice, Bai Ranxi opened the door immediately. Tang Shi'an was taller than him, and the clothes were a bit too big for him. Fortunately, it was not winter, so he wouldn't be cold in this way.
"Drink the ginger soup." Tang Shi'an brought out the ginger soup and handed it to Bai Ranxi, seeing Bai Ranxi frowning, but still obediently drank it.
"Have you eaten yet?" The academy opened relatively early, and most people hadn't eaten yet.
Bai Ranxi shook his head, he now uses the excuse of learning to cook by himself, and eats in his yard every day at noon, and only the nanny knows that he sneaks out to deliver meals to Tang Shi'an every day, but if he doesn't go back today, his mother must know that he ran away home business.
Tang Shi'an opened the wooden box brought by Bai Ranxi and the wooden box brought by the dining hall. What Bai Ranxi brought was still warm, and the one Tang Shi'an brought was still warm, so Tang Shi'an handed the hot one to Bai. Ran Xi, he ate warmly by himself.
"You don't have to bring me food anymore."
Bai Ranxi was eating, when he heard what Tang Shian said, his heart jumped like ice, obviously he worked so hard to develop towards Tang Shian's favorite side, why did he still reject him.
Tang Shi'an didn't notice the change in Bai Ranxi's face, and he was a little embarrassed when he said the following words, "I promise you."
"Agreed, do you mean to marry me?" Bai Ranxi's sinking heart was raised again because of Tang Shi'an's later words.
"Well, I will marry you, but you are still young, so I will come to propose marriage first, and when I get the honor, I will come to marry you." Tang Shi'an just wanted to wait for him to get the honor before going to the White Mansion to propose marriage, but he was afraid that Bai Ran would marry you. What Xi Xi did during this period was discovered and criticized by others.
If they have a marriage contract, then even though Bai Ranxi did something out of line, it's hard for others to say anything.
Bai Ranxi didn't know why Tang Shi'an suddenly changed his mind, and he hasn't recovered yet.
Looking at the sluggish Bai Ranxi, Tang Shi'an chuckled, "You're already wearing my clothes. Your parents will definitely find out when you go home today. I'll go back with you when the time comes."
The clothes that Bai Ranxi changed out of were all soaked. Today's heavy rain did not dry out so quickly.At that time, I will definitely have to go back wearing a suit of clothes, so I can't hide it.
"But if you go back with me, my father and elder brother may break your leg." Bai Ranxi is not alarmist, as far as what he has done during this period, if he is found out, he will be taught a lesson, and Tang Shi'an is his courteous object , will be worse.If he came directly to propose marriage, he was afraid that he would confront Tang Shi'an, a desperate mandarin duck.
"I have to go sooner or later. This time it's just a door-to-door visit. After that, I will leave according to the etiquette." Proposing marriage requires a matchmaker. If he said that he came to propose marriage without preparing anything, it would be easy to break his leg.
"Alright then." Bai Ranxi was naturally afraid, and with Tang Shi'an accompanying him back, he would not be afraid anymore.
evening.
The Bai family found out that Bai Ranxi was not there, and it was raining so heavily outside, everyone was worried, and sent people out to look for it, but they couldn't find it. When Bai Jinshan and Bai Ranxing came back to find out, it would be even more serious.
At this time, Bai Ranxi walked home with Tang Shi'an slowly wearing a veiled hat. He also knew that he was afraid, thinking that he could delay for a while.But the distance between the academy and the Bai family is only two minutes, no matter how long it takes, it will be there soon.
When he arrived at the gate of the Bai Mansion, Tang Shi'an saw Bai Ranxi standing behind him, fearing that he would be discovered, he couldn't help laughing, and then came to the door to tell his intentions.
Seeing that his second young master had finally returned, the guard at the door did not dare to delay to report to the old lady.
Tang Shi'an was welcomed into the main hall, and Bai Ranxi also stayed here until Bai Jinshan, Luo Yunqian, and Bai Ranxing came over, and Bai Ranxi completely hid behind Tang Shi'an's back.
Luo Yunqian watched her brother go out and change his clothes, and for a moment, she thought of the worst possibility, and almost passed out.
"Xi'er, come here." Bai Jinshan's face also became serious, seeing Bai Ranxi's actions, he knew that he was in trouble again.
"Father, mother, brother." Bai Ranxi didn't dare to come out, so she could only call them in a low voice, hoping to reduce their anger.
Tang Shi'an had no choice but to look like a beast with such a human face, "Master Bai, Ran Xi was caught in the rain today, so I let him wear the clothes I bought for the time being, it's not what you think."
"Well, Brother Shi'an took me in, otherwise I would have been outside in the rain." Bai Ranxi poked his head out and explained.
Bai Jinshan and Bai Ranxing turned their attention to Tang Shi'an, "Then thank you for your help, Young Master. It's already late today, so we won't keep Young Master any longer."
This meant chasing Tang Shi'an away, Bai Ranxi hurriedly grabbed Tang Shi'an's clothes.Tell him not to go, he is afraid.
Tang Shi'an naturally didn't intend to leave, "Master Bai, although it's a bit abrupt, I hope Master Bai will give the students a chance. The students like Ran Xi."
After saying this, Bai Jinshan immediately turned dark, but looking at Bai Ranxi's appearance, he knew that he also fell in love with this kid.
