Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 106
In the early morning of the next day, two servants, Chang Xi and Chang Le, went to Bai Shu's room and knocked on the door, shouting: "Young master, it's already time of day, do you want to get up for breakfast?"
The door knocked for a long time, but there was no answer.Chang Xi and Chang Le looked at each other and were about to open the door to see.
But when someone pushed the door of the opposite room creaking, Xie Huaiyu came out wearing obscene clothes and said, "Don't knock, let him sleep for a while, and I will call him in person later. You go to the back kitchen, Prepare some light and easy-to-digest food."
That is what the young master said, Chang Xi Chang Le blushed, they all responded, exited the courtyard, and walked towards the rear window.
Only then did Bai Shu poke his head out from behind Xie Huaiyu and said, "Finally, I'm gone. How can I be so uncomfortable after getting Xie's family? It's better to relax when I was in Baiyu Villa."
When he got up early in the morning, the clothes on his body had already been thrown on the ground in a mess.
The silk material is the most wrinkle-prone, and it is contaminated with a lot of unknown liquids, so the clothes must not be worn today.
At this time, Bai Shu was only wearing a lingerie dress, her chest was wide open, revealing some mottled spots inside.
Xie Huaiyu's eyes darkened when he saw it, and he closed his neckline with his hands and said: "In a few days, after I have two weddings, I can be confident. Today I will take you to get a horoscope, and spend the day as soon as possible." Settle down."
Bai Shu nodded, sat at the table and waited for food.
Not long after, Chang Xi Chang Le came over again with breakfast, Xie Huaiyu asked them to wait before opening the door and letting them into the house.
After they left, Bai Shu quietly came out from behind the screen.
The breakfast is not greasy. There is a bowl of noodles with mushrooms, a bowl of porridge, and a few side dishes. The portion is not big.
Because Xie Huaiyu was the only one eating, there was only one pair of bowls and chopsticks.
But this is not a hindrance, the two of them share a set of tableware, you take a bite, it's sweet, but it's delicious.
Xie Huaiyu saw that he had almost eaten, so he said: "Eat less in the morning, I will take you out today, and taste all the specialties in Beijing by the way, just to save some stomach. The food in Beijing is similar to that in Fucheng or Xie's family." Different, there are some special dishes that you have never tasted before, and the taste is very delicious."
Originally, Bai Shu was only average about food, but after hearing Xie Huaiyu's introduction, he felt his lips and teeth were fragrant, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.
When Bai Shu went back, he didn't forget to take his clothes with him.He flipped out through the back window, and returned to his room without anyone noticing.Hearing someone knock on the door again, he knew it was Xie Huaiyu who came to knock on the door.
"Brother Bai, it's getting late, you have to get up and go out with Xie." Xie Huaiyu asked a bit hypocritically.
But Bai Shu naturally wanted to cooperate with him, so he shouted from inside the door: "I must go, Mr. Xie, wait a moment."
After finishing speaking, he opened the door, and two servants, Chang Xi Chang Le, came in and said, "Young master is up, you need to change your clothes and wash your hands."
Bai Shu nodded, only to realize that his bed was neat and tidy, without even a single wrinkle, it was obvious that no one had slept in it, so he quickly jumped on the bed and grabbed the quilt and beat him while the two servants were not paying attention. A few roll.
Chang Le saw that the sky-blue clothes on the ground were crumpled and out of shape.His face flushed, and he took another look at Bai Zhu, and suddenly saw that his neckline was looming, and there seemed to be a little bright red inside.
It's just that the scene flashed too quickly and disappeared from his eyes in an instant, so that he wondered if he had seen it wrong.
"Young Master, today we are going out with Eldest Young Master, but what kind of clothes do we want to wear?" Chang Le asked.
At this time, Chang Xi also filled up the water for washing up.Bai Shu washed up and said, "When you go out, choose something that is convenient and easy to wear."
So Chang Le chose a fine cotton dress with narrow sleeves, stone blue, with a few embroidered bamboos on the neckline.
After wearing Atractylodes macrocephala, I also feel very comfortable and convenient, quite satisfied.
After he cleaned up, he said that he didn't have breakfast, and went out with Xie Huaiyu.
Besides, Xie Qi was imprisoned in the courtyard, but the servants in the courtyard found out that Xie Huaiyu had brought a man-like brother back.
He heard that the elder brother was tall and had a dull mole between his eyebrows, so he was very pleased. He only felt that Xie Huaiyu married a villager now, and he was still a difficult farmer. He really lost his adulthood.
In comparison, although my cousin is a bit boring, she is the daughter of the Hou family anyway, and her status is considered a match.
Thinking of this, Xie Qi even ate two extra bowls for breakfast.He also sent someone to report to his mother Lou's courtyard. Now Lou's feet are grounded, and she can't even go out of the house.All kinds of news were also sent by Xie Qi.
When she heard that Xie Huaiyu brought back such a vulgar person, she looked up to the sky and laughed out loud.
It doesn't matter that Xie Huaiyu wins him, in the future, with such a wife, she will never be able to hold her head up in Beijing.It's not in vain that she is now hated by Sir Xie.
Xie Ling got angry at Bai Shu last night, and couldn't swallow it in her heart.
He didn't know that he had been sold to Bai Shu by his own brother without knowing it.
After he got up, he thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a good reason to sue, he must make the new brother look good.
In the end, he walked outside his brother's yard, and got a report from his brother's servant: "Master Ling, the young master has brought the new young master out."
Xie Ling felt suffocated in his heart, he didn't expect that he had prepared for a long time, but it was useless.
I hated myself for not coming earlier, so I had no choice but to turn around and go back angrily.
Xie Huaiyu took Baishu to the suburbs of Beijing, but went straight to a very famous Taoist temple nearby.
The Taoist temple has always been very popular, even the empress dowagers and concubines in the palace often invite the Taoist priests in the temple to come and preach for them.
The carriage drove until the Taoist temple was deep out before stopping.
The roads in this Taoist temple are wide, presumably for the convenience of people like Xie Huaiyu who don't want to reveal their identities.
Bai Shu followed Xie Huaiyu out of the carriage and was ushered into a tea room.
After a while, an old man with white beard and hair came into the house and saluted Xie Huaiyu.
"Daoist Zhang." Xie Huaiyu returned the salute to the old Taoist, and then introduced Bai Shu to him: "This is my betrothed person, surnamed Bai. I came here today to ask Daoist Zhang to combine our horoscope for us. Figure out when is the best time to have the wedding."
The Taoist priest narrowed his eyes when he saw Bai Shu.She looked him up and down and said: "This little brother Bai is really strange. He was born with a life-threatening catastrophe, but he will be helped by immortal fate. If it passes, the future will be smooth sailing, and he will be rich and powerful Mutually."
Bai Shu was taken aback by what he said, and felt that the old man had some skills in looking at his immortal demeanor.
The Daoist Zhang met his eyes, and then smiled slightly: "Young Master Xie is very lucky, but this little brother Bai has some celestial fate. With great blessings on his body, it can benefit his family. It is your catastrophe. With him by his side By your side, you can easily solve it.”
Xie Huaiyu thought that he was saved by Baishu when he was almost in an accident before, so he couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with the Taoist priest's words very much.
The Daoist Zhang praised the two of them a few more words, then asked them their horoscopes, and used them to make up divination.He just did some calculations, but he frowned slightly, changed his expression a few times and said, "This horoscope..."
He said, looked at Bai Shu and said: "The horoscope of this little brother Bai seems to be wrong, but the horoscope of a dead person. However, he is obviously rich and powerful, but he made a mistake?"
Xie Huaiyu was also a little nervous when he heard the words, he is not very superstitious.But for these things, it is better to believe that there is something than not to believe that there is nothing.The horoscope he took was clearly the horoscope that Bai Shu had registered with the officials, so how could it be that of a dead person?
But Bai Shu listened to that Taoist priest's words at this time, but a layer of cold sweat was secreting from his forehead, that Taoist priest really had some skills.
Xie Huaiyu's horoscope belonged to Bai Shu, isn't Bai Shu already a dead person?
Bai Shu thought for a while and said, "This horoscope may be wrong, Taoist priest, can you try this?"
After speaking, he reported his original birthday.
After hearing this, the Daoist Zhang took the newly obtained horoscope to calculate, and then smiled and said: "That's right, this is your horoscope, which matches yours. You and Mr. Xie are destined for three generations. The wedding dates are on June 26th, July [-]nd, August [-]th, August [-]th, September [-]th... are all very suitable."
Zhang Daochang reported more than ten auspicious days in a row, and wrote them all down on paper.Xie Huaiyu chose June [-], which was the closest among them, as the date of drawing up the marriage letter, and chose the second, July [-], as the date of the wedding banquet.
After the two calculated, they thanked Zhang Daochang.Xie Huaiyu also proposed to reshape the golden body of the statue of this Taoist temple to show his gratitude, but the Taoist priest was also disrespectful.
When he was about to leave, Xie Huaiyu couldn't help asking: "What is the horoscope..."
The horoscope given by Bai Shu is weird, it is not the year of Daxuan, and I don't know where he came up with it.
The corner of Baishu's mouth twitched, thought for a while, and said casually: "When I was young, a Taoist priest came to my house and told me that my life was in trouble, so he made up this horoscope for me, and asked me to live according to this horoscope in the future so that I can survive."
Xie Huaiyu remembered that Daoist Zhang had also said that Bai Shu's fate would be fatal, so he nodded, accepting Bai Shu's statement.
Bai Shu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't deliberately hide anything, but his own experience was too weird, even if he told Xie Huaiyu, he couldn't explain it clearly, and if he didn't do it, it would be in vain to misunderstand.Xie Huaiyu didn't ask too many questions, and he didn't want to talk too much, so that's fine.
After coming out of the tea room, Xie Huaiyu did not rush back, but took Bai Shu to eat the vegetarian food in the Taoist temple.
The vegetarian noodle in this Taoist temple is very famous, but it is a soup base made of shiitake mushrooms, fungus, straw mushrooms, dried winter bamboo shoots, etc.
In addition, there are toppings made of more than ten kinds of materials such as small gluten, potatoes, cabbage, green vegetables, small peas, cauliflower, dried shredded, day lily, etc.
These toppings are ten cents each, and the type is optional.Many honorable families in Beijing pay attention to coming to eat a bowl of vegetarian noodles on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.
Xie Huaiyu took Baishu to the place where vegetarian noodles were eaten, and saw many people already queuing up.
In places like Taoist temples, there is no reason why special services can be obtained without paying.Even if the nobles in Beijing arrive, they have to line up here with the poor.
Xie Huaiyu was no exception, and the two stood at the end of the line and moved up little by little.
Such an equal scene made Bai Shu feel very comfortable. The two of them ordered a bowl of Su Zhai noodles, and then sat down and ate cleanly.
After the Suzhai noodles were finished, Xie Huaiyu took Baizhu and left, then went to the Zhuangzi he bought for him in the suburbs of Beijing.
The Zhuangzi was a farm confiscated from the prisoner's family in the past. There were ready-made farm heads and tenants in it.
Of course, an income of several thousand taels is a lot for those who are not good at management, but for Bai Shu, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Such a piece of land is a suitable villa for opening Baiyu Mountain Villa.At that time, the income in only one month will be tens of thousands, so how could he see thousands of silver in his eyes.
Bai Shu carefully observed the terrain of Zhuangzi, and found that although there was no river near Zhuangzi, there was a forest.
The mountain forest is much larger than the back mountain of Baitang Village, and there is a small light blue lake sunken in the mountain forest.
When Bai Shu saw that lake, he was extremely satisfied with that place.
If we open up a place on the mountain here, build a real mountain villa, and then look down at the lake from halfway up the mountain, it must be an excellent view.
Seeing that Baishu was satisfied, Xie Huaiyu was naturally happy.
He also saw this lake at the beginning, and felt that the color was clear and very beautiful, so he immediately bought it.
He took Bai Shu to meet the Zhuangtou on the Zhuangzi, and said that the Zhuangzi was already owned by Baishu.
That Zhuangtou is a discerning person, when he saw Bai Shu, he knew that he was the fiancee of Young Master Xie's family, so he respectfully called him Master Bai.
After the two visited Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, Shen Shi passed, and they hurried back to Beijing.
There are still many shops in Beijing, Xie Huaiyu needs to take him to know them one by one.
Xie Huaiyu was not in a hurry to take him to a big shop like Laifulou, but visited the scattered small shops along the road one by one.
They first went to the street closest to the city gate and visited several medicinal and porcelain shops.Then he set off again and walked towards a larger commercial market nearby.
Over there is a more prosperous street in central Beijing, especially famous for the clothing, jewelry, rouge and gouache that women and brothers love to use.
Xie Huaiyu has a few shops over there, and they are doing very well, so I'm going to take Baizhu to see them one by one today.
It was almost Youshi at this time, but there were still many men and women coming and going on the street.
Xie Huaiyu hurried away from a tailor shop and a gouache shop with Bai Shu, and then came to a jewelry store.
The jewelry store is huge, there are two connected frontages on the whole street, it can be regarded as the most prosperous one on this street.
These shops are still in the hands of Xie Huaiyu and have not been transferred to Baishu.
It was because Xie Huaiyu needed money for his activities in Beijing, so he couldn't reach out to Baishu for it.
Furthermore, Xie Ling was about to get married, and Xie Huaiyu always owed him a little.
These few shops were all property left by his mother when she was still alive.Although it was sold by Lord Xie later, it was taken back by Xie Huaiyu.
He planned to leave these shops to Xie Ling as a dowry, so that he could have money.
When I came here today, Xie Huaiyu told Bai Shu about it.
Xie Huaiyu felt sorry for his younger brother, and Bai Shu was naturally very supportive, and he had some ideas in his mind.
It was the property that was to be given to Xie Ling as a dowry, so he needed to manage it.
It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish, Xie Ling should come out and experience it now.
Because of the shop's affairs, Bai Shu didn't want to participate. When Xie Huaiyu went in to ask the shopkeeper about his recent accounts, he didn't follow.
Instead, he casually looked around and played outside, waiting for Xie Huaiyu to come out.
Bai Shu was brought by Xie Huaiyu himself, and the news that Xie Huaiyu was going to marry a country boy also spread throughout the capital.
The clerk in this shop guessed Bai Shu's identity early on, and treated him very politely.
When the shopkeeper accompanied Xie Huaiyu into the backyard, a waiter led Bai Shu to inspect all kinds of gold and silver jewelry.
Hurrying to take out the precious and expensive ones one by one, he said: "Little brother, look at these hairpins, they are made with the method of emerald green."
This emerald craft is worth a thousand gold, because the craft is very complicated and requires kingfisher feathers to make.
Therefore, rarity is more expensive, and it has become the most sought-after jewelry by ladies and brothers from famous families in Beijing.
Bai Shu naturally didn't know about Diancui when he was in Zongxing, and he wasn't interested in Diancui's jewelry at this time.
It was interesting to hear the shop clerk patiently explaining to him, so he listened carefully for a while.
After listening like this for a while, a few ladies and elder brothers from rich families walked in outside the shop, surrounded by a group of maids and servants, very grand.
If Xie Huaiyu was here, he would recognize at a glance that it was none other than the ladies and elder brothers he had met when he attended the banquet with Zhong Li last month.
Two of them are Wei Ling, the second daughter of Lord Wei Hou's family, and Wei Yu, the older brother, and the other two are Wen Xiu'e and Wen Yaoguang from Wen Shang's family of calligraphers.
Marquis Wei and Master Wen were already quite close in the court hall, and the eldest daughter of the Wei family married into the Wen family as the eldest daughter-in-law, and the two families were still somewhat related by marriage.
The juniors often walk around, and today a few juniors who are of the right age are invited out to play.
That Wen Xiu'e and Wei Ling walked in front, playing fans, with graceful figures and extraordinary bearing.
Wen Yaoguang and Wei Yu followed behind. Wen Yaoguang was not too eye-catching, but he had a scholarly air about him. Wei Yu was better-looking, but because he was a bastard, his bearing was not as good as Wen Yaoguang's.
"Huh..." Wen Xiu'e walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, looked in one direction of the store and whispered, "Look over there."
Wei Ling and the others looked in that direction, but they didn't see anything strange, only a young man was standing sideways in front of the counter, holding a pair of the most popular Diancui jewelry in his hand.Take an eager recommendation from a fellow.
"This young man is quite handsome." Wei Ling shook her fan and said, "However, his clothes are rather plain, and he is not a member of a noble family. He should have nothing to do with us."
The two people behind him also nodded in agreement, although the young man is not bad.But it has nothing to do with them, and I don't know what to see.
"What young master, I'm afraid my sister didn't notice, he is clearly a brother." Wen Xiu'e covered her lips with a fan and smiled softly.
"Huh?" Wei Ling and the others opened their eyes wide and looked over there in surprise.
It turned out that Wen Xiu'e was standing a little closer to the front, so she saw the pregnancy mole on Bai Shu's forehead, but they didn't see it from their angle, so there was a misunderstanding.
"I heard that this jewelry store belongs to the Tang family." Seeing that they finally found out that Bai Shu was a brother, Wen Xiu'e said, "I don't know if you have heard of this Tang family shop, but it is the eldest son of the Xie family." of."
This news was also widely circulated in Beijing these days, and they all knew about it.
Wen Xiu'e said meaningfully at this time: "Look at what that brother is wearing, but he is someone who can afford that bit of emerald jewelry? But this shop assistant is so enthusiastic about him...why? I heard... Eldest son of the Xie family brought a brother back yesterday, there are rumors that that brother is tall and looks like a man..."
When she said this, everyone was not stupid, so they suddenly realized.
This was almost regarded as the young man's brother by them, and most likely it was the fiancée brought back by Mr. Xie.
Xie Huaiyu was originally a good candidate for the son-in-law among these aristocratic women.
Among the four people present, it can be said that Xie Huaiyu was once thought of in their hearts.
It's just that it's just a matter of thought, a noble woman like Wei Ling, when she hears that the other party has made a marriage, she will not force it.
With her status as a prostitute, it is impossible for her to be a concubine.
The marriages of these people are not completely up to themselves, so they also take the matter of marriage very lightly and are not attached.
Seeing Bai Shu at this moment, he only knew in his heart that there was such a person.In the future, due to the exchanges between the two families, there may be contacts, but there will be no deeper thoughts.
But Wei Ling thinks so, but not everyone else is like her.
Wen Xiu'e's talent and appearance are outstanding, and she is also quite sought after in the upper-class circles in Beijing.
She and Liu Fangfei have been competing secretly. The other party is determined to marry the prince, but she has no clear goal. She just wants to marry a good man who everyone envies, as if her status is more noble now.
Xie Huaiyu's appearance is so handsome that many women in Beijing admire him.In addition, he is now a firm successor to the title, and the Tang family's shop is behind him, which is one of her main goals.
It's just that Xie Huaiyu really doesn't understand the style, and he looks like he doesn't answer anyone.Her father went to the Xie Mansion to hint once, but Lord Xie also hesitated, as if he had no decision.
As a result, not long after, she heard that Xie Huaiyu had made a marriage, and she was still an ordinary countryman.
Wen Xiu'e was very unhappy at that time, she just felt that others took advantage of what she didn't get.
She inquired about the Xie family's affairs very diligently, and she knew yesterday that Xie Huaiyu had brought him back to Beijing, and he was still a brother.
As soon as she entered the shop today, she happened to see this brother.
She is a smart person, otherwise she would not be known as a talented woman. She only took one look and guessed who this brother was.
Wen Xiu'e's heart twitched for a moment, after a little thought, she said what she just said.
She fell behind, but Wei Ling didn't respond, instead Wei Yu suddenly took a few steps forward, walked up to Bai Shu and said, "Dare to ask this little brother, did you come here with Mr. Xie?"
When Bai Shu heard someone asking him, he turned his head to look, and saw a very delicate boy standing in front of him.
Wei Yu has a handsome appearance, a pair of slightly raised almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose bridge, and a narrow face.He doesn't have a completely feminine appearance, but his appearance has a kind of heroic beauty.
Hearing that the other party mentioned Mr. Xie, Bai Shu realized that it should be Xie Huaiyu.
He nodded and said: "I came here with him, but I don't know what's the matter with this little brother?"
After Bai Shu said this, Wei Yu, Wen Xiu'e and others confirmed Bai Shu's identity.
Wei Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and suppressed the sourness in his heart. He smiled and said, "As expected, she is Mr. Xie's fiancée according to the rumors. In Wei Yu, the Xie family also had a lot of contacts at home, and Mr. Xie... also knew each other. Today Seeing this little brother, I don’t know how to call him, so we can keep in touch more in the future.”
After finishing speaking, he introduced the two women and a brother in the back, both of whom were full of noble air at first glance.
Bai Shu didn't recognize these people, but since he came to Beijing and married Xie Huaiyu, it was inevitable that he would come into contact with the other party's circle.
At this time, since they took the initiative to show their kindness to him, he naturally stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, so he responded with a smile: "My name is Bai Shu, you can call me little brother Bai."
After Wei Yu got his name, he smiled and greeted him for a while, asking him what jewelry he likes and whether Xie Huaiyu wants to give it to him.
Bai Shu replied honestly: "I'm going to work, I'm not used to wearing these things, I'm just bored, just look at them casually."
When he said this, Wei Yu and others looked at his whole body.
Apart from a ring on his hand, Bai Shu did not have any jewelry.
Even the ring is not pure gold, apparently only a few thousand taels of silver, not considered a treasure.
In their eyes, Bai Shu's outfit seemed a bit shabby.
But those who come from these aristocratic families will not show it on their faces.Wei Yu pulled his arm with a smile and said: "You are so free and easy, I really envy you."
Bai Shu didn't have those twists and turns, so hearing his praise, he believed it was true.
Apart from feeling that he was too enthusiastic, my impression of this guy is not bad.
"When I met you today, I felt that I hit it off very well." Wei Yu said, "You didn't have any acquaintances when you first came to Beijing, why don't we make friends so that we can take care of each other."
Bai Shu has a self-sufficient personality, and in fact he can make friends without the help of others.But Wei Yu said so, and he couldn't refuse to slap him in the face.
With the mentality that it would be good to have one more friend, Bai Shu nodded and agreed.
Hearing this, Wei Yu smiled happily and said, "That's great. During the Qiqiao Festival, my family will hold a banquet. Then I will send you a post and invite you to come and play!"
Just as Wei Yu was talking, Xie Huaiyu had already walked out from the backyard.
He frowned, and at a glance he saw Bai Zhu surrounded by several people, and a brother was holding his arm intimately.
The author has something to say: Xie Huaiyu: Is someone coveting my wife again?
The door knocked for a long time, but there was no answer.Chang Xi and Chang Le looked at each other and were about to open the door to see.
But when someone pushed the door of the opposite room creaking, Xie Huaiyu came out wearing obscene clothes and said, "Don't knock, let him sleep for a while, and I will call him in person later. You go to the back kitchen, Prepare some light and easy-to-digest food."
That is what the young master said, Chang Xi Chang Le blushed, they all responded, exited the courtyard, and walked towards the rear window.
Only then did Bai Shu poke his head out from behind Xie Huaiyu and said, "Finally, I'm gone. How can I be so uncomfortable after getting Xie's family? It's better to relax when I was in Baiyu Villa."
When he got up early in the morning, the clothes on his body had already been thrown on the ground in a mess.
The silk material is the most wrinkle-prone, and it is contaminated with a lot of unknown liquids, so the clothes must not be worn today.
At this time, Bai Shu was only wearing a lingerie dress, her chest was wide open, revealing some mottled spots inside.
Xie Huaiyu's eyes darkened when he saw it, and he closed his neckline with his hands and said: "In a few days, after I have two weddings, I can be confident. Today I will take you to get a horoscope, and spend the day as soon as possible." Settle down."
Bai Shu nodded, sat at the table and waited for food.
Not long after, Chang Xi Chang Le came over again with breakfast, Xie Huaiyu asked them to wait before opening the door and letting them into the house.
After they left, Bai Shu quietly came out from behind the screen.
The breakfast is not greasy. There is a bowl of noodles with mushrooms, a bowl of porridge, and a few side dishes. The portion is not big.
Because Xie Huaiyu was the only one eating, there was only one pair of bowls and chopsticks.
But this is not a hindrance, the two of them share a set of tableware, you take a bite, it's sweet, but it's delicious.
Xie Huaiyu saw that he had almost eaten, so he said: "Eat less in the morning, I will take you out today, and taste all the specialties in Beijing by the way, just to save some stomach. The food in Beijing is similar to that in Fucheng or Xie's family." Different, there are some special dishes that you have never tasted before, and the taste is very delicious."
Originally, Bai Shu was only average about food, but after hearing Xie Huaiyu's introduction, he felt his lips and teeth were fragrant, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.
When Bai Shu went back, he didn't forget to take his clothes with him.He flipped out through the back window, and returned to his room without anyone noticing.Hearing someone knock on the door again, he knew it was Xie Huaiyu who came to knock on the door.
"Brother Bai, it's getting late, you have to get up and go out with Xie." Xie Huaiyu asked a bit hypocritically.
But Bai Shu naturally wanted to cooperate with him, so he shouted from inside the door: "I must go, Mr. Xie, wait a moment."
After finishing speaking, he opened the door, and two servants, Chang Xi Chang Le, came in and said, "Young master is up, you need to change your clothes and wash your hands."
Bai Shu nodded, only to realize that his bed was neat and tidy, without even a single wrinkle, it was obvious that no one had slept in it, so he quickly jumped on the bed and grabbed the quilt and beat him while the two servants were not paying attention. A few roll.
Chang Le saw that the sky-blue clothes on the ground were crumpled and out of shape.His face flushed, and he took another look at Bai Zhu, and suddenly saw that his neckline was looming, and there seemed to be a little bright red inside.
It's just that the scene flashed too quickly and disappeared from his eyes in an instant, so that he wondered if he had seen it wrong.
"Young Master, today we are going out with Eldest Young Master, but what kind of clothes do we want to wear?" Chang Le asked.
At this time, Chang Xi also filled up the water for washing up.Bai Shu washed up and said, "When you go out, choose something that is convenient and easy to wear."
So Chang Le chose a fine cotton dress with narrow sleeves, stone blue, with a few embroidered bamboos on the neckline.
After wearing Atractylodes macrocephala, I also feel very comfortable and convenient, quite satisfied.
After he cleaned up, he said that he didn't have breakfast, and went out with Xie Huaiyu.
Besides, Xie Qi was imprisoned in the courtyard, but the servants in the courtyard found out that Xie Huaiyu had brought a man-like brother back.
He heard that the elder brother was tall and had a dull mole between his eyebrows, so he was very pleased. He only felt that Xie Huaiyu married a villager now, and he was still a difficult farmer. He really lost his adulthood.
In comparison, although my cousin is a bit boring, she is the daughter of the Hou family anyway, and her status is considered a match.
Thinking of this, Xie Qi even ate two extra bowls for breakfast.He also sent someone to report to his mother Lou's courtyard. Now Lou's feet are grounded, and she can't even go out of the house.All kinds of news were also sent by Xie Qi.
When she heard that Xie Huaiyu brought back such a vulgar person, she looked up to the sky and laughed out loud.
It doesn't matter that Xie Huaiyu wins him, in the future, with such a wife, she will never be able to hold her head up in Beijing.It's not in vain that she is now hated by Sir Xie.
Xie Ling got angry at Bai Shu last night, and couldn't swallow it in her heart.
He didn't know that he had been sold to Bai Shu by his own brother without knowing it.
After he got up, he thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a good reason to sue, he must make the new brother look good.
In the end, he walked outside his brother's yard, and got a report from his brother's servant: "Master Ling, the young master has brought the new young master out."
Xie Ling felt suffocated in his heart, he didn't expect that he had prepared for a long time, but it was useless.
I hated myself for not coming earlier, so I had no choice but to turn around and go back angrily.
Xie Huaiyu took Baishu to the suburbs of Beijing, but went straight to a very famous Taoist temple nearby.
The Taoist temple has always been very popular, even the empress dowagers and concubines in the palace often invite the Taoist priests in the temple to come and preach for them.
The carriage drove until the Taoist temple was deep out before stopping.
The roads in this Taoist temple are wide, presumably for the convenience of people like Xie Huaiyu who don't want to reveal their identities.
Bai Shu followed Xie Huaiyu out of the carriage and was ushered into a tea room.
After a while, an old man with white beard and hair came into the house and saluted Xie Huaiyu.
"Daoist Zhang." Xie Huaiyu returned the salute to the old Taoist, and then introduced Bai Shu to him: "This is my betrothed person, surnamed Bai. I came here today to ask Daoist Zhang to combine our horoscope for us. Figure out when is the best time to have the wedding."
The Taoist priest narrowed his eyes when he saw Bai Shu.She looked him up and down and said: "This little brother Bai is really strange. He was born with a life-threatening catastrophe, but he will be helped by immortal fate. If it passes, the future will be smooth sailing, and he will be rich and powerful Mutually."
Bai Shu was taken aback by what he said, and felt that the old man had some skills in looking at his immortal demeanor.
The Daoist Zhang met his eyes, and then smiled slightly: "Young Master Xie is very lucky, but this little brother Bai has some celestial fate. With great blessings on his body, it can benefit his family. It is your catastrophe. With him by his side By your side, you can easily solve it.”
Xie Huaiyu thought that he was saved by Baishu when he was almost in an accident before, so he couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with the Taoist priest's words very much.
The Daoist Zhang praised the two of them a few more words, then asked them their horoscopes, and used them to make up divination.He just did some calculations, but he frowned slightly, changed his expression a few times and said, "This horoscope..."
He said, looked at Bai Shu and said: "The horoscope of this little brother Bai seems to be wrong, but the horoscope of a dead person. However, he is obviously rich and powerful, but he made a mistake?"
Xie Huaiyu was also a little nervous when he heard the words, he is not very superstitious.But for these things, it is better to believe that there is something than not to believe that there is nothing.The horoscope he took was clearly the horoscope that Bai Shu had registered with the officials, so how could it be that of a dead person?
But Bai Shu listened to that Taoist priest's words at this time, but a layer of cold sweat was secreting from his forehead, that Taoist priest really had some skills.
Xie Huaiyu's horoscope belonged to Bai Shu, isn't Bai Shu already a dead person?
Bai Shu thought for a while and said, "This horoscope may be wrong, Taoist priest, can you try this?"
After speaking, he reported his original birthday.
After hearing this, the Daoist Zhang took the newly obtained horoscope to calculate, and then smiled and said: "That's right, this is your horoscope, which matches yours. You and Mr. Xie are destined for three generations. The wedding dates are on June 26th, July [-]nd, August [-]th, August [-]th, September [-]th... are all very suitable."
Zhang Daochang reported more than ten auspicious days in a row, and wrote them all down on paper.Xie Huaiyu chose June [-], which was the closest among them, as the date of drawing up the marriage letter, and chose the second, July [-], as the date of the wedding banquet.
After the two calculated, they thanked Zhang Daochang.Xie Huaiyu also proposed to reshape the golden body of the statue of this Taoist temple to show his gratitude, but the Taoist priest was also disrespectful.
When he was about to leave, Xie Huaiyu couldn't help asking: "What is the horoscope..."
The horoscope given by Bai Shu is weird, it is not the year of Daxuan, and I don't know where he came up with it.
The corner of Baishu's mouth twitched, thought for a while, and said casually: "When I was young, a Taoist priest came to my house and told me that my life was in trouble, so he made up this horoscope for me, and asked me to live according to this horoscope in the future so that I can survive."
Xie Huaiyu remembered that Daoist Zhang had also said that Bai Shu's fate would be fatal, so he nodded, accepting Bai Shu's statement.
Bai Shu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't deliberately hide anything, but his own experience was too weird, even if he told Xie Huaiyu, he couldn't explain it clearly, and if he didn't do it, it would be in vain to misunderstand.Xie Huaiyu didn't ask too many questions, and he didn't want to talk too much, so that's fine.
After coming out of the tea room, Xie Huaiyu did not rush back, but took Bai Shu to eat the vegetarian food in the Taoist temple.
The vegetarian noodle in this Taoist temple is very famous, but it is a soup base made of shiitake mushrooms, fungus, straw mushrooms, dried winter bamboo shoots, etc.
In addition, there are toppings made of more than ten kinds of materials such as small gluten, potatoes, cabbage, green vegetables, small peas, cauliflower, dried shredded, day lily, etc.
These toppings are ten cents each, and the type is optional.Many honorable families in Beijing pay attention to coming to eat a bowl of vegetarian noodles on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.
Xie Huaiyu took Baishu to the place where vegetarian noodles were eaten, and saw many people already queuing up.
In places like Taoist temples, there is no reason why special services can be obtained without paying.Even if the nobles in Beijing arrive, they have to line up here with the poor.
Xie Huaiyu was no exception, and the two stood at the end of the line and moved up little by little.
Such an equal scene made Bai Shu feel very comfortable. The two of them ordered a bowl of Su Zhai noodles, and then sat down and ate cleanly.
After the Suzhai noodles were finished, Xie Huaiyu took Baizhu and left, then went to the Zhuangzi he bought for him in the suburbs of Beijing.
The Zhuangzi was a farm confiscated from the prisoner's family in the past. There were ready-made farm heads and tenants in it.
Of course, an income of several thousand taels is a lot for those who are not good at management, but for Bai Shu, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Such a piece of land is a suitable villa for opening Baiyu Mountain Villa.At that time, the income in only one month will be tens of thousands, so how could he see thousands of silver in his eyes.
Bai Shu carefully observed the terrain of Zhuangzi, and found that although there was no river near Zhuangzi, there was a forest.
The mountain forest is much larger than the back mountain of Baitang Village, and there is a small light blue lake sunken in the mountain forest.
When Bai Shu saw that lake, he was extremely satisfied with that place.
If we open up a place on the mountain here, build a real mountain villa, and then look down at the lake from halfway up the mountain, it must be an excellent view.
Seeing that Baishu was satisfied, Xie Huaiyu was naturally happy.
He also saw this lake at the beginning, and felt that the color was clear and very beautiful, so he immediately bought it.
He took Bai Shu to meet the Zhuangtou on the Zhuangzi, and said that the Zhuangzi was already owned by Baishu.
That Zhuangtou is a discerning person, when he saw Bai Shu, he knew that he was the fiancee of Young Master Xie's family, so he respectfully called him Master Bai.
After the two visited Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, Shen Shi passed, and they hurried back to Beijing.
There are still many shops in Beijing, Xie Huaiyu needs to take him to know them one by one.
Xie Huaiyu was not in a hurry to take him to a big shop like Laifulou, but visited the scattered small shops along the road one by one.
They first went to the street closest to the city gate and visited several medicinal and porcelain shops.Then he set off again and walked towards a larger commercial market nearby.
Over there is a more prosperous street in central Beijing, especially famous for the clothing, jewelry, rouge and gouache that women and brothers love to use.
Xie Huaiyu has a few shops over there, and they are doing very well, so I'm going to take Baizhu to see them one by one today.
It was almost Youshi at this time, but there were still many men and women coming and going on the street.
Xie Huaiyu hurried away from a tailor shop and a gouache shop with Bai Shu, and then came to a jewelry store.
The jewelry store is huge, there are two connected frontages on the whole street, it can be regarded as the most prosperous one on this street.
These shops are still in the hands of Xie Huaiyu and have not been transferred to Baishu.
It was because Xie Huaiyu needed money for his activities in Beijing, so he couldn't reach out to Baishu for it.
Furthermore, Xie Ling was about to get married, and Xie Huaiyu always owed him a little.
These few shops were all property left by his mother when she was still alive.Although it was sold by Lord Xie later, it was taken back by Xie Huaiyu.
He planned to leave these shops to Xie Ling as a dowry, so that he could have money.
When I came here today, Xie Huaiyu told Bai Shu about it.
Xie Huaiyu felt sorry for his younger brother, and Bai Shu was naturally very supportive, and he had some ideas in his mind.
It was the property that was to be given to Xie Ling as a dowry, so he needed to manage it.
It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish, Xie Ling should come out and experience it now.
Because of the shop's affairs, Bai Shu didn't want to participate. When Xie Huaiyu went in to ask the shopkeeper about his recent accounts, he didn't follow.
Instead, he casually looked around and played outside, waiting for Xie Huaiyu to come out.
Bai Shu was brought by Xie Huaiyu himself, and the news that Xie Huaiyu was going to marry a country boy also spread throughout the capital.
The clerk in this shop guessed Bai Shu's identity early on, and treated him very politely.
When the shopkeeper accompanied Xie Huaiyu into the backyard, a waiter led Bai Shu to inspect all kinds of gold and silver jewelry.
Hurrying to take out the precious and expensive ones one by one, he said: "Little brother, look at these hairpins, they are made with the method of emerald green."
This emerald craft is worth a thousand gold, because the craft is very complicated and requires kingfisher feathers to make.
Therefore, rarity is more expensive, and it has become the most sought-after jewelry by ladies and brothers from famous families in Beijing.
Bai Shu naturally didn't know about Diancui when he was in Zongxing, and he wasn't interested in Diancui's jewelry at this time.
It was interesting to hear the shop clerk patiently explaining to him, so he listened carefully for a while.
After listening like this for a while, a few ladies and elder brothers from rich families walked in outside the shop, surrounded by a group of maids and servants, very grand.
If Xie Huaiyu was here, he would recognize at a glance that it was none other than the ladies and elder brothers he had met when he attended the banquet with Zhong Li last month.
Two of them are Wei Ling, the second daughter of Lord Wei Hou's family, and Wei Yu, the older brother, and the other two are Wen Xiu'e and Wen Yaoguang from Wen Shang's family of calligraphers.
Marquis Wei and Master Wen were already quite close in the court hall, and the eldest daughter of the Wei family married into the Wen family as the eldest daughter-in-law, and the two families were still somewhat related by marriage.
The juniors often walk around, and today a few juniors who are of the right age are invited out to play.
That Wen Xiu'e and Wei Ling walked in front, playing fans, with graceful figures and extraordinary bearing.
Wen Yaoguang and Wei Yu followed behind. Wen Yaoguang was not too eye-catching, but he had a scholarly air about him. Wei Yu was better-looking, but because he was a bastard, his bearing was not as good as Wen Yaoguang's.
"Huh..." Wen Xiu'e walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, looked in one direction of the store and whispered, "Look over there."
Wei Ling and the others looked in that direction, but they didn't see anything strange, only a young man was standing sideways in front of the counter, holding a pair of the most popular Diancui jewelry in his hand.Take an eager recommendation from a fellow.
"This young man is quite handsome." Wei Ling shook her fan and said, "However, his clothes are rather plain, and he is not a member of a noble family. He should have nothing to do with us."
The two people behind him also nodded in agreement, although the young man is not bad.But it has nothing to do with them, and I don't know what to see.
"What young master, I'm afraid my sister didn't notice, he is clearly a brother." Wen Xiu'e covered her lips with a fan and smiled softly.
"Huh?" Wei Ling and the others opened their eyes wide and looked over there in surprise.
It turned out that Wen Xiu'e was standing a little closer to the front, so she saw the pregnancy mole on Bai Shu's forehead, but they didn't see it from their angle, so there was a misunderstanding.
"I heard that this jewelry store belongs to the Tang family." Seeing that they finally found out that Bai Shu was a brother, Wen Xiu'e said, "I don't know if you have heard of this Tang family shop, but it is the eldest son of the Xie family." of."
This news was also widely circulated in Beijing these days, and they all knew about it.
Wen Xiu'e said meaningfully at this time: "Look at what that brother is wearing, but he is someone who can afford that bit of emerald jewelry? But this shop assistant is so enthusiastic about him...why? I heard... Eldest son of the Xie family brought a brother back yesterday, there are rumors that that brother is tall and looks like a man..."
When she said this, everyone was not stupid, so they suddenly realized.
This was almost regarded as the young man's brother by them, and most likely it was the fiancée brought back by Mr. Xie.
Xie Huaiyu was originally a good candidate for the son-in-law among these aristocratic women.
Among the four people present, it can be said that Xie Huaiyu was once thought of in their hearts.
It's just that it's just a matter of thought, a noble woman like Wei Ling, when she hears that the other party has made a marriage, she will not force it.
With her status as a prostitute, it is impossible for her to be a concubine.
The marriages of these people are not completely up to themselves, so they also take the matter of marriage very lightly and are not attached.
Seeing Bai Shu at this moment, he only knew in his heart that there was such a person.In the future, due to the exchanges between the two families, there may be contacts, but there will be no deeper thoughts.
But Wei Ling thinks so, but not everyone else is like her.
Wen Xiu'e's talent and appearance are outstanding, and she is also quite sought after in the upper-class circles in Beijing.
She and Liu Fangfei have been competing secretly. The other party is determined to marry the prince, but she has no clear goal. She just wants to marry a good man who everyone envies, as if her status is more noble now.
Xie Huaiyu's appearance is so handsome that many women in Beijing admire him.In addition, he is now a firm successor to the title, and the Tang family's shop is behind him, which is one of her main goals.
It's just that Xie Huaiyu really doesn't understand the style, and he looks like he doesn't answer anyone.Her father went to the Xie Mansion to hint once, but Lord Xie also hesitated, as if he had no decision.
As a result, not long after, she heard that Xie Huaiyu had made a marriage, and she was still an ordinary countryman.
Wen Xiu'e was very unhappy at that time, she just felt that others took advantage of what she didn't get.
She inquired about the Xie family's affairs very diligently, and she knew yesterday that Xie Huaiyu had brought him back to Beijing, and he was still a brother.
As soon as she entered the shop today, she happened to see this brother.
She is a smart person, otherwise she would not be known as a talented woman. She only took one look and guessed who this brother was.
Wen Xiu'e's heart twitched for a moment, after a little thought, she said what she just said.
She fell behind, but Wei Ling didn't respond, instead Wei Yu suddenly took a few steps forward, walked up to Bai Shu and said, "Dare to ask this little brother, did you come here with Mr. Xie?"
When Bai Shu heard someone asking him, he turned his head to look, and saw a very delicate boy standing in front of him.
Wei Yu has a handsome appearance, a pair of slightly raised almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose bridge, and a narrow face.He doesn't have a completely feminine appearance, but his appearance has a kind of heroic beauty.
Hearing that the other party mentioned Mr. Xie, Bai Shu realized that it should be Xie Huaiyu.
He nodded and said: "I came here with him, but I don't know what's the matter with this little brother?"
After Bai Shu said this, Wei Yu, Wen Xiu'e and others confirmed Bai Shu's identity.
Wei Yu was taken aback when he heard this, and suppressed the sourness in his heart. He smiled and said, "As expected, she is Mr. Xie's fiancée according to the rumors. In Wei Yu, the Xie family also had a lot of contacts at home, and Mr. Xie... also knew each other. Today Seeing this little brother, I don’t know how to call him, so we can keep in touch more in the future.”
After finishing speaking, he introduced the two women and a brother in the back, both of whom were full of noble air at first glance.
Bai Shu didn't recognize these people, but since he came to Beijing and married Xie Huaiyu, it was inevitable that he would come into contact with the other party's circle.
At this time, since they took the initiative to show their kindness to him, he naturally stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, so he responded with a smile: "My name is Bai Shu, you can call me little brother Bai."
After Wei Yu got his name, he smiled and greeted him for a while, asking him what jewelry he likes and whether Xie Huaiyu wants to give it to him.
Bai Shu replied honestly: "I'm going to work, I'm not used to wearing these things, I'm just bored, just look at them casually."
When he said this, Wei Yu and others looked at his whole body.
Apart from a ring on his hand, Bai Shu did not have any jewelry.
Even the ring is not pure gold, apparently only a few thousand taels of silver, not considered a treasure.
In their eyes, Bai Shu's outfit seemed a bit shabby.
But those who come from these aristocratic families will not show it on their faces.Wei Yu pulled his arm with a smile and said: "You are so free and easy, I really envy you."
Bai Shu didn't have those twists and turns, so hearing his praise, he believed it was true.
Apart from feeling that he was too enthusiastic, my impression of this guy is not bad.
"When I met you today, I felt that I hit it off very well." Wei Yu said, "You didn't have any acquaintances when you first came to Beijing, why don't we make friends so that we can take care of each other."
Bai Shu has a self-sufficient personality, and in fact he can make friends without the help of others.But Wei Yu said so, and he couldn't refuse to slap him in the face.
With the mentality that it would be good to have one more friend, Bai Shu nodded and agreed.
Hearing this, Wei Yu smiled happily and said, "That's great. During the Qiqiao Festival, my family will hold a banquet. Then I will send you a post and invite you to come and play!"
Just as Wei Yu was talking, Xie Huaiyu had already walked out from the backyard.
He frowned, and at a glance he saw Bai Zhu surrounded by several people, and a brother was holding his arm intimately.
The author has something to say: Xie Huaiyu: Is someone coveting my wife again?
