He saved money in ancient times to marry

Now that he and Zhu Bi had finished talking, Bai Li also spoke freely. He asked, "Father, do you know Master Ye's background? There seems to be no one in his family anymore,? I always find it strange."

Zhu Bi thought for a while and said: "I'm just a small magistrate, how can I know about the court officials? But Mr. Ye came from a noble family. He was originally a general. His father was a first-class uncle Ye Fengxing. Later, because of In some cases, when there was a change in the family, the entire family of the Ye family was copied and executed, and only Mr. Ye was the second prince's companion at the time, and the late emperor graciously escaped the catastrophe."

Bai Li was terrified, and quickly asked, "What happened?"

Zhu Bi said: "It seems to be more than ten years ago,? I was still a small county magistrate in a remote place at that time, and I only heard about it later. Lord Ye is famous,? With his current status, who Dare to mention the events of the past again,? So I just know these things."

Bai Li sat down on the futon. He never expected that there would be such a horrifying inside story. Ye Tinglan's light words "I don't have any family anymore"? There was such deep pain behind it.

how so?His sweetheart always had a calm and cynical look, but there was an unspeakable pain hidden under the surface.

He never said it to himself, always...

Bai Li was out of his mind, so he went straight to the clubhouse after leaving Zhu Bi's house.

Bai Shun and Bai Sheng had been waiting for him in the clubhouse, seeing his appearance, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, young master?"

Bai Li waved his hand: "I'm fine, tell me what you found?"

Bai Shun and Bai Sheng exchanged glances, and said with a complicated expression: "Almost nothing was found, all I know is that Lord Ye's ancestors were from Fenzhou, and the ancestral graves are there, but he never went to Fenzhou. It is said that His Majesty will Happy or something."

The two said in shame: "I'm negligent, please punish me."

Bai Li pondered for a moment, and said: "It's normal if you can't find it. What the foster father said is right. With his current reputation and status, who dares to mention what happened back then. Fenzhou, Fenzhou, it seems that I have to go there personally. gone."

Bai Xing said in surprise, "Master, I heard that Fenzhou has high mountains and long roads. The terrain is steep and the weather is bad. It's still far away from us. You can't go there!"

Bai Shun also said: "Yes, young master, other places are fine, Fenzhou is too far away, if you want to know something, we can go find out."

Bai Li shook his head and said: "That's his hometown, I should go and see it, besides, I feel uncomfortable staying at home now, it's better to go out and relax."

Bai Shun persuaded: "But it's too far away. If you go, at least it will take three to two months. By then, Master Ye will ask if he can't see you when he returns to the capital. If you let him know that you are going After leaving Fenzhou, it's hard to guarantee that you won't be angry!"

Bai Sheng also followed suit.

When Bai Li heard that Ye Tinglan was angry, he shrank his neck. What Bai Shun said was not unreasonable. Ye Tinglan probably didn't want to bring up the past. If he knew that he went to Fenzhou, he might be really angry.

He thought for a while and said: "He will go out to investigate the case for a few months before returning to Beijing. Let's hurry up and get ahead of him. If you don't make it in time, you can say that I went to the south to collect fresh fruits for him."

Bai Shun and Bai Xing couldn't hold back him, so he could only obey. Bai Shun went to prepare things for the trip, while Bai Xing continued to stay in Chengzhou to take care of business matters.

Bai Shun had been busy for two days before arranging the trip. When he came to report to Bai Li, Bai Li was sitting at the door lost in thought.

"Master, everything is ready. Dry food, water, dried fruits, candied fruit, clothes and bedding are also brought. Everyone has brought some money. I have also prepared a general ticket for the silver number. I have hidden it. I have brought a lot of maps. , each accompanying person has a copy, the route is the closest one, let’s take the water route first, then change to the land route when we reach Yangzhou, and then..."

He talked on and on, thinking about everything inside and out, Bai Li listened quietly, asked a few questions from time to time, took the map to observe carefully, put down the map after confirming some things, and silently Looking into the distance, he finally opened his mouth softly and asked, "Bai Shun, do you think it's inappropriate for me to do this?"

Bai Shun said: "I will obey whatever decision I make, I'm just worried that I will suffer hardships on the road."

Bai Li: "I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about him."

Bai Shun was puzzled, and Bai Li slowly said: "It was his dusty and secret pain, and he didn't want to let me know, but I went behind his back to find out the root cause, which is disrespectful to him."

Bai Shun didn't know how to answer, Bai Li smiled and shook his head: "Actually, I don't really want to know something. That day, I knew that he couldn't even pay homage to his ancestor's grave for some reason. I felt very uncomfortable. This trip to find out the truth is the first time. In fact, I just thought about going to see his ancestors' tomb, if possible, repair it a little, and send a bouquet of flowers, if... If he is not allowed to go, it should be fine for someone else to go. "

Bai Shun was stunned, and after a while he said with emotion: "I didn't expect the young master to think like this, so thoughtful, I really envy this old bachelor!"

Bai Li smiled and said: "Speaking of it, it's true. When are you going to add something happy to the family? It's impossible for me to put on the big red robe. You can still do it."

Bai Shun smiled innocently: "How dare I let the young master worry about it."

After Bai Shun left, it was already half dark, Bai Li stood up and was about to go back to his room, when he glanced outside the door inadvertently, saw a trace of blue clothes, sighed lightly, and called out: "Sister."

The people outside the door hesitated for a moment, but they still walked in. Bai Qing looked at her younger brother with a complicated expression, and said after a long time, "I heard that you are going to Fenzhou?"

"Ah."

"You, are you so worried about him?"

"Yes."

"But you don't know what's in Fenzhou, even..."

"Go and have a look and you'll find out, sister, if you have anything to say, you may as well speak up." Bai Li said.

Bai Qing's face was full of sorrow, she turned her eyes away and said softly, "Can't it be broken?"

Bai Li was silent for a moment, and said, "Sister, Fenzhou has high mountains and long roads, and the environment is difficult. There are always bumps along the way. Don't you worry about me?"

Bai Qing said, "Why don't you worry!"

Bai Li: "But you know that I have been traveling for two days, and you only came to see me this evening. The first thing you said was to let me break up with him. You didn't even give me a word of advice."

Bai Qing: "I..."

Bai Li lowered his eyelashes and said, "Sister, my parents died young, and you can see everything I have experienced from the age of 15 to 20."

"Sister knows you've worked hard, but..."

"Sister, I'm only 20 years old. I haven't been crowned yet, but I have experienced hardships. There are too many hardships in my life, but there is only a little bit of sweetness."

Bai Qing was speechless.

Bai Li said softly: "It's just that little bit of sweetness, don't take it away."

Bai Qing felt a sharp pain in her heart, and suddenly she seemed to have returned to that small village. They were bullied by Liu's tricky couple in every possible way. Relying on herself step by step, step by step, to start from scratch, to expand the family business, she saw every pain Bai Li swallowed, so why did she forget that he was actually just a young boy.

It's not hard to carry everything at such a young age, but Bai Li never said anything, always yearning for a certain future to carry everything silently. Today, now that I think about all kinds of things, five years of trials and hardships, what right do I have to dictate the future he finally got.

What right does not let him eat that sweet.

She lowered her arms weakly, and murmured: "You can leave it as you like. Although my sister can't understand, she doesn't object any more."

Bai Li raised his eyes and looked at Bai Qing with a little surprise: "Sister——"

Bai Qing turned her back and said in a low voice: "It's just that no matter what, don't make yourself suffer."

After speaking, he left, Bai Li let out a sigh of relief, this trip was finally considered worry-free.

He set off early the next morning. This time he went in a low-key way. The only people who saw him off were his family and Zhu Bi. Besides Bai Shun, he brought four servants with him. They set off from the pier, took a boat down, and arrived at Yangzhou. For the land route, I hired three carriages, and it was already a month and a half after I arrived in Fenzhou. At this time, everyone was very tired. Fortunately, the journey was safe. The troubles of class are still there, and the money is enough.

Fenzhou is different from any place Bai Li has ever been to. It is close to the border, the vegetation is sparse, the air is dry and windy and sandy, and the folk customs are relatively simpler and tougher.

For the sake of safety, Bai Li found the largest inn, rested for half a day, and took Bai Shun and others out for dinner in the evening.

There are not many restaurants here, but they are lively enough. Almost every larger restaurant has a storyteller singing a song. A large plate of mutton is served with pepper and salt, and a bowl of steamed buns. The servant ordered a pot of Nurhong, and the atmosphere rose. After the storyteller spoke for a while, they entered the heroic state of the locals, eating meat and laughing loudly.

The storyteller was telling a heroic story about a certain general in the previous dynasty. After he finished speaking, he stepped down from the stage. Did the guests who had listened enough take a few copper coins and prepare a bowl of hot broth to let the storyteller come to his table? Open a small stove and talk about a special session.

Bai Li kept it in his heart when he saw it, and when the gentleman finished talking about the table, he asked Bai Shun to yell, and the storyteller ran over happily.

Bai Lirang gave a bowl full of broth and said, "This gentleman is good at telling heroic stories?"

The storyteller replied with a smile on his face: "My lord, what do you want to hear? General Huang Mian fought against the barbarians, or Di Qiu went deep into the enemy camp alone..."

Bai Li showed a bored look, and said, "I can read all the things you said in the book. Are there any stories with local characteristics to tell?"

The storyteller said with a smile: "This master is from another place, do you want to hear our local stories?"

Bai Li nodded: "I didn't know anything when I first came to Fenzhou. Sir, are there any heroes in your local history?"

The storyteller thought for a while and said, "Our Fenzhou is close to the border. Naturally, there are many heroes, especially the generals. There are many of them. I know seven or eight of them. What type do you want to hear?"

Bai Li smiled slightly, and put twenty coins on the table: "Let's talk about it, there will be a reward if you agree."

The author has something to say: I caught up!It's not easy for me haha!
