I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

The Jianghu people who wanted to change rooms left, Huang Yaoshi went upstairs alone, and the innkeeper lowered his head to make calculations, making a crisp crashing sound.

When the number 30 beeped twice, Ouyang Zheng asked Pei Xiang:

"I haven't asked the young hero's name yet."

Seeing that Ouyang Zheng insisted on pretending not to know him, Pei Xiang had no choice but to cooperate:

"My surname is Bai and my name is Xiao. I just came out of the rivers and lakes and have little knowledge. I don't know how to address you, young master?"

Ouyang Zheng replied in a flat tone: "My surname is Ouyang, and the single name has the word Zheng..."

At this time, a baby's cry came from outside the door, interrupting Ouyang Zheng's self-introduction.

Pei Xiang looked outside the gate of the inn, and saw a young woman coming down from the second carriage in the White Camel Mountain team. The woman was holding a tightly wrapped swaddle in her arms, and the crying sound came from Out of swaddling.

Ouyang Zheng immediately showed concern, looked sideways, and after the guards escorted the young woman into the inn with umbrellas, he immediately asked:

"How is the child?"

The young woman bowed and saluted with the child in her arms, and replied respectfully:

"Back to the eldest son, the young master fell asleep in the carriage before, and was awakened by the thunder when he got off the carriage, so he couldn't stop crying."

Ouyang Zheng nodded, signaling to the young woman to concentrate on taking care of the child and not to stay downstairs.

The guard at the side quickly took a room key and led the woman upstairs to arrange accommodation.

The cries gradually weakened, and the door of the inn was finally closed again, blocking the invasion of the wind and rain, and making Pei Xiang's heart door close even more silently.

She was a little disappointed and relieved, since Xindao had already made a choice at the beginning and voluntarily gave up on the other party, this result should have been expected a long time ago.

Pei Xiang's mood changed only in an instant. She subconsciously opened the folding fan in her hand and shook it lightly. After that, the smile on her face was no longer a problem.

"Brother Ouyang has already married and had a son, congratulations, how old is your son?"

Ouyang Zheng stared at Pei Xiang deeply, and said slowly:

"I just celebrated my first birthday the day before yesterday. Bai Shaoxia is interested in children? Why don't you get married early and settle down?"

Pei Xiang shook his head and said, "I just like to tease once in a while, and I can't rush to start a family. Hey, children are soft and too fragile. If we really want to spend a long time together, I will definitely be in a hurry."

"When Young Master Bai has his own heir, these fears and worries will naturally disappear. At first, I also felt that young children were too fragile to hug or coax, but after getting along for a while, I realized that those worries before were unnecessary. It's gone."

With a smile on his face, Pei Xiang responded with a gentle and gentle voice, and then praised sincerely:

"Brother Ouyang is capable and understanding, with a deep chest. If you want to do something well, you will definitely succeed."

Ouyang Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes were dark and cold:

"Thanks to Young Master Bai's love, Zheng didn't expect that when we met Young Master Bai for the first time today, Young Master Bai had such a high opinion of Young Xia Bai. It's a pity that Young Master Bai couldn't praise Zheng. There are some things... Zheng also can't do it."

Pei Xiang was slightly surprised by the depression and anger in Ouyang Zheng's tone, and then a little worried and concerned, she couldn't help asking:

"Brother Ouyang's tone, it seems that there is something regretful?"

Ouyang Zheng shook his head, but did not answer Pei Xiang's question.He seemed to have lost interest in talking any further, he cupped his fists at Pei Xiang, turned around and left.

Looking at Ouyang Zheng's back, Pei Xiang slowly closed the folding fan in his hand.She knew in her heart that her question just now was a bit abrupt, neither "Bai Xiao" nor her real identity should pay more attention to Ouyang Zheng's affairs.

——The child is already one year old. Counting the time, sure enough, there have never been so many obsessions in this world.

—However, how did he recognize my identity?

——Forget it, since we met, we should prepare a meeting gift for that child later.Marrying a wife and having children... is always a good thing.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a bowl of plain noodles, a plate of stewed pork, two side dishes, a portion of candied fruit, and a pot of good pear blossom."

"Okay, Young Xia Bai, just wait a moment."

Pei Xiang found a corner in the lively hall and sat down, silently listening to the laughter of other people.After a while, the waiter brought her food and wine, and she began to eat seriously.

In any case, we must look forward, life is a long way, there is something to give and something to gain.

Full of wine and food, Pei Xiang went upstairs to rest.Passing by a certain guest room, she heard the cry of a baby and the whisper of a young woman coaxing the child, she paused, and then continued on her way.

"Brother Yao, are you resting?" Pei Xiang stopped in front of Huang Yaoshi's room.

The door of the room opened in response, and Huang Yaoshi was sitting by the window listening to the sound of the rain.

"What's the matter?"

"I borrowed a note from you the day before yesterday. There are a few things I don't understand, and I want to ask Brother Yao for advice."

Huang Yaoshi gestured to invite him in.

Pei Xiang closed the door casually, sat down in front of the desk, and took out a few pieces of draft paper full of handwriting from his sleeve.

Following Pei Xiang's question, Huang Yaoshi gradually became more focused.He left the seat by the window, went to sit next to Pei Xiang, and discussed one problem after another with her.

Later, the two extended several new problems due to an old problem, and after analyzing and solving them one by one, more differences arose.

Facing different directions, both insisted on their views while trying to persuade each other.When you come and go, you will inevitably be more immersed in the serious atmosphere of academic discussions, and gradually ignore the time.

In another room, Ouyang Zheng put down his brush and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Bai Liu, sort out these paperwork approvals and send them out tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Bai Liu put Ouyang Zheng's replies and orders written all night into different categories, and then carefully put them into a special wooden box and locked them up.

"Where is the second brother now?"

"Back to the eldest son, after the death of the young master's mother, it seems that there is trouble at the mother's side, and the second son has gone to deal with those trivial matters. It is expected to join us in the future."

"When he arrives, give the child to him to take care of, and his own son will raise it himself."

"Yes, the subordinate will tell the second son what the eldest son wants."

Ouyang Zheng was silent for a moment, then waved Bai Liu to leave.

Bai Liu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking:

"Eldest son, when we were downstairs earlier, Miss Da and Miss Pei seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that young master is your heir."

Ouyang Zheng got up and walked to the window, staring at the continuous rain in the night in a daze. After a while, he turned his back to Bai Liu and said:

"It's just a misunderstanding. It's no big deal. They are all descendants of the Ouyang family anyway."

Bai Liu lowered his head, not daring to persuade him any more.

However, when Bai Liu was about to leave, Ouyang Zheng who was standing by the window watching the rain suddenly asked again:

"Which room did Miss Pei live in?"

The voice was a little careless, but Bai Liu suddenly lifted his heart into his throat.

"Ok?"

"Reporting to the eldest son, Miss Pei accepted the key to the room, but, um, she hasn't checked in yet. She has been in another room after eating and hasn't come out yet."

"Another room?"

"That's, that's the room she and Island Master Huang booked before."

With a "click", the potted plants by the window fell apart.

Bai Bai watched his nose and mind with his six eyes, held his breath and concentrated, trying to minimize his sense of existence.

The room was very quiet, and it seemed that the sound of wind, rain and thunder outside was getting louder and louder.

Ouyang Zheng closed his eyes and said softly:

"Ker's child has been crying all the time recently. You can go to Miss Pei and ask her if it's convenient? Be sure... Ask her to take a look at the child tonight and check her body."

Bai Liu hurriedly agreed and was about to leave quickly.

"and many more."

"Please give orders, my lord."

"When you ask Miss Pei to see Kerr, don't forget to explain Kerr's previous physical condition. For example, when his mother was pregnant with him, she was depressed all the time because of a misunderstanding with her second brother. This twists and turns led to her almost dying during childbirth. Ke’er was born with difficulty, and I don’t know if it hurt the foundation of her body, please ask Miss Pei to check her pulse carefully, no matter what, I am very grateful.”

Bai Liuxin said, why bother?Just now when I was downstairs, I didn't explain clearly in person, but now I'm beating around the bush and letting others pass on the word.Besides, the young master cries loudly every day, can eat, sleep, and make trouble, and is very healthy, so where does Miss Pei need a pulse diagnosis?

However, even if he had ten guts, he didn't dare to reveal a trace of his true inner thoughts, so he immediately turned and left with a stern face, for fear that his eldest son would see the clue.

Bai Liu left, and Ouyang Zheng, who was alone, closed his eyes and rested for a moment, and a certain idea in his heart gradually became clear.

—Some relationships can no longer be stalemate like this.

——When necessary, one should use a pair of tiger and wolf heavy medicine to break the current stalemate and entanglement.

——What can't be broken can't be built.

Here, Pei Xiang and Huang Yaoshi also ended their discussion.

She poured herself a cup of tea to moisten her throat, and was sipping the warm tea for a while, when she heard Huang Yaoshi coldly ask:

"What provoked you? Have you started a rift with the eldest son of White Camel Mountain?"

Pei Xiang snorted in a shallow nasal voice, and looked a little far away.

Yaoshi Huang said softly:

"He knows that 'Bai Xiao' is you, and the reunion of the two of you may not be by accident, so he should have been following your whereabouts. I guess, since we showed up on the shore, someone has notified him .”

"I know," Pei Xiang sighed softly, "I also know that he should have recovered his memory now, which is earlier than I predicted."

Speaking of this, Pei Xiang's eyebrows suddenly revealed a look of deep thought.

——If this encounter is not accidental, that child...

"Both of you...haven't let go. Now that you're like this, is it hard to solve?"

Pei Xiang shook his head and said, "I can't talk about letting go or not. In fact, it would be a lie to say that I don't regret it, but if I do it all over again, I will still choose that way. Therefore, I will accept whatever result I get after making the choice. It's a very fair thing."

Huang Yaoshi stroked the jade flute in his hand, and squinted at Pei Xiang:

"Since you can see it, why do you stay in this room?"

Pei Xiang smiled and did not answer, but secretly sighed in his heart, accepting it is one thing, but whether it can really be calm and calm is another.

——On such a windy and stormy night, it is already desolate and desolate, and when encountering sour and sad things, of course I don’t want to be alone.Only then can you realize the importance of friends.

Just as she was thinking about something, Pei Xiang sat up straight suddenly. She made a small gesture of silence to Huang Yaoshi, and then listened to the sound outside the door.

When the sound of Bai Liu's footsteps got closer, a strange light flashed in Pei Xiang's eyes. It seemed that something good happened to her, and her whole body regained its brilliance.

Huang Yaoshi looked at it suspiciously.

Pei Xiang smiled and said in a low voice: "Brother Yao, thank you for your willingness to spend time with me. I have disturbed your pleasure of listening to the rain tonight. In the next day, my little sister will copy the formula of Shixiang Ruanjin Powder to you."

Huang Yaoshi raised his eyebrows.He didn't know what happened downstairs after he left, but based on his understanding of Pei Xiang, this friend couldn't suffer after all.Therefore, Huang Yaoshi, who has always been eccentric and protective, didn't ask any more questions, just nodded slightly and drank tea quietly.

Bai Liu knocked on the door, and Pei Xiang went to open it himself.

"Pei, Young Master Bai, please don't take offense if you take the liberty of interrupting me."

Pei Xiang curled the corner of his mouth, expressing that he didn't mind.

"Brother guard, feel free to speak up if you have something to do. If Bai can do it, he should do his best."

"It's like this," Bai Liu pretended to glance casually at Huang Yaoshi sitting in the room, then quickly looked away, and explained to Pei Xiang, "My young master has been crying. The eldest son said that Bai Shaoxia is a master of Xinglin. Please Young Master Bai go check it out for my young master to see if there is anything wrong."

Pei Xiang frowned and asked, "The young master of your mansion has been crying until now?"

Bai Liu bit the bullet and lied:

"Yes, the young master's nanny is about to cry. If it wasn't an emergency, the eldest son would never disturb Bai Shaoxia and Huang Island Master to rest."

Pei Xiang said without hesitation: "Then let's go, the child is important, don't waste time."

After speaking, she passed Bai Liu and walked towards the children's room.

Seeing this, Bai Liu hurriedly cupped his fists towards Huang Yaoshi, and then hurriedly followed.

When the two knocked on the door of Young Master Ouyang's room, they were greeted by the nanny's bewildered and surprised expression.

"Crying? Seeing a doctor?"

Bai Liu winked at the young woman, then said to Pei Xiang calmly:

"The young master should have just fallen asleep. Thank God, he finally stopped crying. However, just in case, I asked Young Master Bai to show the young master, so that the eldest son can feel at ease."

Pei Xiang still couldn't see the tricks in it, she squinted at Bai Liu, and didn't ask any more questions.

Passing over the nanny who was taking care of the child and entering the room, Pei Xiang began to check the body of the sleeping baby.

After a cup of tea, Pei Xiang withdrew his hand and said to Bai Liu:

"Forgive Bai for his poor academic skills, and no symptoms have been found. On the contrary, according to my diagnosis, young master Ouyang is very healthy, and there is no need to worry about anything."

Bai Liu avoided Pei Xiang's bright eyes, lowered his head and explained:

"Please don't be surprised, Young Master Bai. The main reason is that the young master has experienced many twists and turns before and after his birth, and his biological mother passed away recently. Therefore, the eldest son is very worried about the health of the young master, and he is afraid of leaving behind some undetectable problems. Hidden danger."

Now that Bai Liu has said so, out of the sense of responsibility of a doctor, how could Pei Xiang not ask, what twists and turns did this sturdy baby with a tiger head and a tiger brain go through?

As soon as she opened her mouth to ask, Bai Liu explained the child's life experience very simply and neatly, as if she had opened up a chatterbox.

"Bai Shaoxia, the young master is the second son's own flesh and blood. Two years ago, the second son was tired of family affairs and left home to relax, so he met the young master's biological mother. Well, the two had the young master because of an accident, but The second son didn't know about the existence of the young master at the time, and because of some misunderstandings, he left the child's mother..."

Then, Bai Liu told Pei Xiang how Ouyang Feng's enemies sought revenge and found the woman, and how the woman's family was so cold.

In short, when the child's biological mother reunited with Ouyang Feng, her physical condition was already extremely weak.

Ouyang Feng was naturally furious, he killed a bunch of enemies, but he couldn't save the child's mother's life.Even with the use of many rare medicinal materials and the life-saving pills left by Pei Xiang, the woman just struggled to live until the child was almost one year old, and then died.

"Ma'am, no, Young Master Bai, the Second Young Master is dealing with the child's mother's funeral at this time. He entrusted the Young Master to the Eldest Young Master to take care of him. After the Second Young Master comes back in two days, the Young Master has to live with his biological father." .”

Pei Xiang looked down at the sleeping fat baby, and lightly poked his face:

"It's the second son's heir, that, Bai Liu, what name did the second son give the child?"

"Reporting to Young Master Bai, the young master's single name is one word."

"Ke? Ouyang Ke," Pei Xiang's eyes shone with a hint of complexity and suddenness, "So it's you, Ouyang Ke from White Camel Mountain."
