companion marriage

"Sometimes there is a hit, but there is no time to force it." The woman sitting on the soft couch folded her hands, a string of rosary coiled around her fingertips, and her sanctimonious appearance was a bit of a hypocrite.

"Oh, I get it, I get it. Fate is something you have to fight for. Everything I want to tell you is fate. Wouldn't the world have to miss too many marriages?" Picking up, those peach blossom eyes overflowing with spring water are full of circles. "Ah Chen, Ah Chen, sometimes I wonder if there is such a thing in your head, why have I never heard you say which son you like, even if it's not the son, the young lady is fine." Touching her chin, the woman narrowed her eyes with a smile. "Hey, it's like me. Didn't I know that my sweetheart was a man at the beginning? Didn't I also fall in love? This is love, but I really can't tell the gender." It seemed that she suddenly thought of something, and she would The teacup in his hand was placed on a small table beside him. "By the way, you are going to the capital, and I am too. It is also a help for you and me to go together, how about it?"

"As you wish." Bai Xiaochen slowly took back the rosary. "Are you sure? If I remember correctly, I remember that the time you and I went to the capital should be different."

"Oh, isn't it just that there is a time gap of more than a month between you and me? This high official can leave with you in advance, you can rest assured about this." Liu Nianxin raised her paw indifferently. "Hey, it seems easy for me to come here today, shouldn't you show it?" The sparkling autumn pupils were full of water, and Mr. Liu blinked.

"Show?" She raised her eyebrows, her face was white and frosty like a painting.

"That's that, that's that, you are the 'host', why don't you keep me for a while, and have a light meal." Liu Nianxin smiled warmly, God knows that she is quite a crab roe bun made by Uncle Qing~~~ "Hey, I Well, I’m actually not picky, Uncle Qing’s crab roe buns, peach blossom drunk in your cellar, if there is another drunk duck, it would be perfect.”

"It's kind of you." With a half-smile, he glanced at Mr. Liu, who had no sense of shame. Bai Xiaochen showed eight small white teeth, and his smile was as sharp as a sword.

"I'm overwhelmed and overwhelmed, which one of us is with the other, isn't it, Ah Chen?" With a light cough, Senior Officer Liu walked up to Bai Xiaochen, put one hand on the other's shoulder, and touched his chin with the other. "Hey, speaking of it, you probably haven't met my sweetheart, who is my fiancé."

"Isn't this just when you wanted to meet, but you suddenly confessed to 'drive away' the other party?" The words uttered with a smile are definitely not good words, Bai Xiaochen pursued the purpose of always wrangling with Liu Nianxin.

"What do you mean 'drive away'! My sweetheart is obviously blushing because of my enthusiastic and serious words, and she just went home. Now she is in the capital, waiting for me to appear in a situation where everyone is watching, wearing a golden armor. clothes, and step on the colorful clouds to marry him!" With his head held high, that surly look very much like the little Malfoy of the platinum aristocratic family in Harry Potter.

The gleeful smile on Dabing's wretched face makes one feel the desire to destroy it.

Bai Xiaochen thought so, and indeed did so.

"=_=..." In silence, Bai Xiaochen grabbed a handful of peanuts from the small plate next to him and threw them decisively and slowly onto the face of the high-spirited Liu Daguan who didn't pay attention for a moment.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Taking a step back, Liu Nianxin frowned and looked at the other party.It's okay, why put peanuts on her face!

"It's nothing, it's just a hand spasm." Bai Xiaochen pulled out a book from the bookshelf behind him with a paralyzed face. "Go back tonight and get ready, that is, in these two days, I will go to the capital." For Liu Nianxin who was still wondering and angry, Bai Xiaochen changed the subject expressionlessly.

"Don't worry about it, I've already made the arrangements." Liu Nianxin rolled her eyes at Bai Xiaochen, who was changing the subject clearly, and sat lazily on the seat with the heater in her hand, leaning against the cushion, looking lazy look.

The topic stopped there, and the two chatted about some things, or business matters.In the next two days, Bai Xiaochen gave orders to all the stewards to do and important matters in the mansion, then drove a few carriages and left Yecheng.

However, she didn't expect that Uncle Qing would go to the capital with her. It seemed that in her memory, Uncle Qing had always been repulsed by the place in the capital. As for why, she didn't know, and Uncle Qing never said anything about it.This time, most of them followed because they were really worried about Xiao Ran and her.

The distance between Yecheng and the capital is only four or five days away. The interior of the carriage is not worthy of being quite warm and exquisite. There are small heaters, soft couch and animal skins, etc., all of which are available for heating. The carved wooden carriage, The wheels rolled over the snow on the road and made a creaking sound. Just outside the gate of the capital city, there was already a maid from the Bai family of the capital waiting there. After walking through the busy streets, I arrived at the Bai family in the center of the capital city. Bai Xiaochen Get out of the carriage first, followed by Bai Xiaoran, and at this time, Bai Xiaoran put on gold and cloud red fragrant sheepskin boots, a crane cloak with a big red feather veil and white fox fur, and a pair of green and green double rings. He fits Ruyi, with a snow cap on his head, against his delicate little face, he is indescribably extravagant.It was Xiaosi Yu'er who helped him get out of the car.

When Yan Ya entered the mansion, he didn't know where he went. As for Liu Nianxin, who came to the capital with Bai Xiaochen, he also went to another place when he arrived at the city gate, leaving only one sentence, "I'll find you when I'm done." , and led her servants in the opposite direction.

Following the butler into the White Mansion, Bai Xiaoran and the other family members went to the ancestors in the White Mansion first, which was the backyard where the family members stayed.Bai Xiaoran went all the way to the current head of the Bai family, Bai Yilan's study.

It was a middle-aged woman, her slender body could be seen when she was in her prime, and it was not difficult to imagine the handsome demeanor when she was young from the outline of her appearance, but the woman kept a serious face from the beginning to the end, and her simple actions After the elder made some inquiries, he grabbed the pulse of the other party's wrist and remained silent for a while, and when he asked Bai Xiaoyan later, there was no ups and downs.

"The old lady just noticed your pulse, and you have a lot of spiritual power. How did you come up with this stagnant words?" Bai Yilan sat on the main seat, brushed the tea cover off the undulating surface of the tea, and said words that seemed to be understated. Among them is the hidden blade of displeasure.

Bowing to one side, Bai Xiaochen lowered his eyelids, extremely respectful. "Going home, Chen'er has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he should not be tired from driving and road work. My grandmother took pity on me when I was young and sick, and raised me by her side. Besides, the spiritual power in Chen'er's body is difficult to accomplish in Yin and Yang, so it is better to hide in Yecheng. Get up, investigate the movement of the Qin family, and report to the head of the family in time. Therefore, it is not easy for the Qin family to guess that Chen'er is a person with a stagnant spirit, so he will wait for the opportunity." The Qin family and Bai family of the capital are big families of Onmyoji. Since the founding of the country, there have been many Discord, Bai Xiaochen answered like this, quite conscious of the overall situation, God knows she is lying nonsense.

The Bai family in Yecheng where Bai Xiaochen lives, has been aware of the serious crimes hundreds of years ago, and retreated to the rear. Over time, it has become a "branch" that is active in the dark and few people know that only the head of the Bai family in the capital knows.Fortunately, as early as more than ten years ago, as a precautionary measure, Bai Xiaochen's grandmother would send information about the Qin family in Yecheng to the Bai family of the capital from time to time, just in case. After Bai Xiaochen took over, it would be the first time in a month Two month report.

It is also because the Bai family in Yecheng only has Bai Xiaochen, a concubine daughter, and no other daughters. It is also reasonable to say that the supervisor Qin's family cannot hide his spiritual power and cannot work in the Yinyang Division in the capital.

What's more. . . . . .Bai Yilan glanced lightly at Bai Xiaochen who was bowing to the side.What's more, although this Bai Xiaochen's spiritual power is mediocre, she is not as useless as she said, and it is indeed difficult for her to take on a high position in the capital. Even so, she is even inferior to Bai Yilan, a three-year-old girl. . . . . .

Bai Yilan's face softened a little as if thinking of her youngest daughter who showed yin and yang talents at the young age of three.

If it weren't for the current Crown Princess, how could he have thought of this branch of the Bai family in Yecheng.And what is the meaning of the princess?

The two chatted for a while and said something about offering sacrifices before Bai Yilan waved her hand and called the butler to lead Bai Xiaochen into the west wing.

Then he followed the housekeeper to visit the father of the Patriarch of the Bai family. What can I say about this old man?Well. . . . . .Very enthusiastic. . . . . .For example, up to now, she has been pinched and hugged by this legendary ancestor, and the old man is a little terrified of the younger generation's favor.Later, holding hands and looking at tears, saying "Look at how handsome girl Chen is" and some "hard-fated children", as for the rest of the patriarch's husband and wife, Bai Xiaochen also visited one by one.

The head of the Bai family, Bai Yilan.One husband, four side husbands, and some who were not able to come to the stage as servants, were not invited into the hall where the old ancestor was, four daughters and three sons.Among them, the eldest daughter and the youngest daughter were born by the official husband Wang, the third daughter was born by the side husband Ping, and the second daughter was born by a servant. Among the five sons, three sons are the rest. Several side husbands gave birth.

The eldest daughter of Bai Yilan, the eldest daughter of her husband.Bai Jinfei is twenty-seven this year and works in the Onmyoji Department. She already has a husband, a daughter, and a son.

Bai Yilan has a direct younger sister, Bai Yiwen, who works in the court and lives in the Bai Mansion with her elder brother.One husband and two servants, the number of servants is unknown, two daughters and one son.

Generally speaking, this is a big family. As far as he knows, Bai Qingling, the Patriarch of the Bai family in the previous generation, was a well-known husband and servant. A daughter, the other servants and side husbands are all gone, shouldn't we praise this old ancestor for his skills?

After eating at the old ancestor's place, Bai Xiaochen watched his little Ran leave with a group of male relatives with a smile, while he was dragged outside by the junior girls of this huge family, pretending to show it to the branches of the Bai family. Look at the appearance of this capital.

By the way, I forgot to explain, this time it is not only the "branch" of Bai Xiaochen who came to the Bai family, other people who work in the capital or from other regions also came to the Bai family of the capital at this time.

This night, I followed the huge crowd of women to the capital. Apart from looking at the capital, the purpose of going straight was the small government hall and other fireworks venues.

She really didn't want to go at all, she wanted to go back to sleep. . . . . .Bai Xiaochen smiled humbly and chatted with the woman from another branch of the Bai family beside him, but in his heart he talked a lot.

Not only was she physically tired, but she also had to deal with these people asking her over and over again about things like 'The Crown Princess is going to Yecheng'. . . . . .

"I heard that the Empress Dowager's face is like a fairy, and she looks like a fairy entering the world. I don't know if it is true or not?" This is what a woman from the side branch said.

It looks good, but it doesn't look like a fairy. . . . . .Bai Xiaochen smiled modestly, but complained seriously in his heart.

"I've heard that the empress dowager uses soldiers like gods and kills like ghosts and gods. She must be a god general." This is another one.

How does she know?Bai Xiaochen rolled his eyes, but his face showed clear reverence.

"Hey, I've also heard that Her Highness the Empress Dowager is really amazing. She can compose poems and lyrics at the age of three, and she can walk through Yang at the age of five." This is the third one.

Well. . . . . .She really doesn't know this. . . . . .

"That's right, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is really amazing. Yu was lucky enough to see her graceful back on the Fengcheng Pagoda back then, so I think she is a fairy." This is the first one that cannot be counted.

Hey, big sister, you are even more ridiculous. When you see the back, you say you are a fairy?

Based on the above questions, Bai Xiaochen didn't know what he was doing until the end.But the theme is not to leave the reverence and admiration for the immortality of the queen mother.

Her shoulders were sore and her feet were still tired. She wanted to sleep on the bed. . . . . .Bai Xiaochen had no choice but to smile warmly and talk about Chu Xi's affairs with others, while walking forward with his lead-filled legs.

Speaking of it, Chu Xi seemed to have never contacted her since returning to the capital. . . . . .I don't know how she is doing now?According to the words of the big puppet Kuidi, it seems that a solution should be found soon, but after nine years, Chu Xi didn't even send any news to him. . . . . .Bai Xiaochen lowered his eyes, his lips were pursed and his jaw was a little tight.

In the chest, it seemed that he could still feel the feeling of being penetrated at that time, the blood dried up, and the red spread.However, at that time, she could clearly feel the heat of the man's palm on her forehead, the worried expression, and the warm ironing made the originally pale face inexplicably inexplicably hot.

The one who really contradicted was herself.The corner of Bai Xiaochen's mouth curled up helplessly. When he was at home, on the one hand, he wanted to stay away from Chu Xi, but on the other hand, he was worried about him.

Chu Xi, you are truly a disaster.

Bai Xiaochen gave a wry smile, she didn't know what to do, maybe Chu Xi had already forgotten her.

After thinking about it like this, Bai Xiaochen followed a group of people to the largest brothel in the capital—Zuichen Pavilion.

It should be said that the Zuichen Pavilion is divided into Nanyuan and Beiyuan. Nanyuan is the place where male prostitutes live, while Beiyuan is where female prostitutes live.This is just for the convenience of the dignitaries.

It is better to follow the crowd and enter the private room on the third floor. The other women are free to let go. They want male prostitutes, and some want female prostitutes. Bai Xiaochen can't, and he can't stand out from the crowd. By the side.

The sound of silk and bamboo came from downstairs, and the clear tone was like the east wind blowing down the depths of a begonia, turning into bits and pieces of death, while the cloud pavilion outside the window, the heavy building, was prosperous and fell to the ground.The voice is slow, the smile is like a flower, but the makeup is picturesque, and the red tears flowed into vicissitudes several times.

Bai Xiaochen lowered her eyes calmly, even though she was talking loudly in her ears, she just laughed and said nothing, with a gentle and undeniable elegance.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and it was the bustard of the Zuichen Pavilion who pushed the door open. It turned out that the oiran below was about to take the stage, and invited all the high officials to watch.

It turned out that today was just in time for Nanyuan Beiyuan to choose the oiran.

Bustard led everyone to the third-floor stand. The tea, wine and food on the table had already been prepared. Everyone sat down at three tables and two tables. Bustard called several waiters before bowing and leaving.

Why do you think this scene is so familiar?Bai Xiaochen blinked, and poured a glass of wine, his drooping eyelids could not see clearly what was inside.

The sound of bells and drums suddenly sounded, and the tone of that sound was higher than that of the other, like the mighty battle of the battlefield, shocking every step of the way.Looking at the sound, I saw a group of women dancing with their sleeves holding swords and stepping onto the stage. With the sound of drumbeats, they drew exquisite sword flowers.Seeing this, Bai Xiaochen couldn't help cheering secretly, this is clearly a rare sword dance!

At this time, the drum beats gradually rose with the sound of the piano, presumably it has reached the high rhythm? ? ?Suddenly, a woman dressed in the costume of a barbarian riding and shooting stepped into it. She danced in different poses, gracefully like a dragon swimming on the dance floor. Her slender waist seemed to be able to be grasped and turned around, revealing her straight back. Facing the faces of everyone, eyebrows are like emerald feathers, muscles are like white snow, waist is like a bundle of plains, teeth are like shellfish, a pair of red phoenix eyes are quite intoxicating, especially the raised eyebrows, it is even more unique, it is really a beauty like The appearance of the jade allure can't be described enough.

Surprised gasping sounds came from around as expected, but at this moment, Bai Xiaochen's eyes widened in astonishment.

This person is none other than Liu Huakui who suddenly disappeared in Yecheng Yixiangyuan!
