Another World Baixin

"Huang Zhongying, eighteen years old, a flower in Xijiang City; a young Han, talented, and will win laurel in the Toad Palace in the coming year." The two doggerels spoken by the teahouse idlers are referring to Huang Zhongying, the second young master of Huang's family in front of Bai Xin.

He lowered his eyebrows slightly, and his long legs easily crossed the one-foot-high threshold. When he raised his eyebrows, he immediately revealed his tall and straight figure, like a jade tree with distinct branches; It is as leisurely as a mountain spring that Bai Xin once saw on Shoushan Mountain, just like "the dew in the heart of a lotus is like a Lizhu, and it is not true and swaying", which makes people's hearts move when they see it.

"Are you Bai Xin?" The voice was no worse than the gurgling water or the collision of jade and stone, but it's a pity that Bai Xin already had the existence of long flowing water in his heart, so he only gave a secret praise and didn't think much about it.

"Exactly."

"Since you are married to the elder's family, you can call me elder brother when I am older than you. I heard from my father that you wanted to take the children's exam, but you delayed your studies because of an accident; Brother Yu studied for a few more years, you have a problem Come and find me." Huang Zhongying tilted her head and told the servants behind: "Ah Si, he will come again in the future, you carefully bring him to me."

Ah Si hastily responded: "I wrote it down, little one."

"Thank you, Brother Huang!" Bai Xin was really surprised to see that he was serious. Should he be said to be a kind person with a sincere heart or because of the kindness his elder family once gave him.

Huang Zhongying disapproved and corrected: "My name is Zhongying, and I don't have a name yet, so you can call me Brother Zhongying."

"Okay, Brother Zhongying." Bai Xin pointed to Shanli in his hand and said, "My family just moved here recently, the house is a mess, and I don't have any good things on hand, only the half Shanli I just got to express my heart Brother Zhongying, please accept it!"

Hearing this, Huang Zhongying happily took Shanli over, and asked with high spirits while looking at her, "You still know how to hunt?!"

Bai Xin nodded cautiously: "I grew up in a village under the mountain, and someone taught me hunting skills later."

Sure enough, Huang Zhongying was even more joyful, and patted him on the shoulder with one hand: "I am not as good as you in this point, you can come to me for academic matters, when will you take me hunting! "

"Ha ha."

It’s true that people can’t be judged by appearances. A handsome young man like Huang Zhongying, who is both outstanding in appearance and talent, is most interested in rough and violent hunting activities, rather than reciting poems and paintings, admiring flowers, amusing birds, and red sleeves. Is it cold but hot inside?The beautiful young man pestered Bai Xin to ask a lot of questions about hunting, so that Ah Si, the gatekeeper, almost poked him to death with his eyes—because he hooked up with his pure, kind and excellent second young master.

In the end, it was too late for Bai Xin, and he wanted to get home before the curfew as an excuse to escape.In fact, Bai Xin's footsteps are very fast. Even if there is a curfew at this moment, he can still go home without anyone noticing.

Huang Zhongying personally brought Shan Lirou to the kitchen, and met his sister-in-law Xu and his eldest niece Huang Lingwei on the way.The age difference between the two brothers of the Huang family is huge. Huang Lingwei was born only four years later than Huang Zhongying. Therefore, Huang Zhonghua and the Xu family treat their younger brothers just like their own children.

Mrs. Xu and Huang Lingwei were going to have dinner in the vestibule, when Mrs. Xu softened her face when she saw Huang Zhongying: "Ying'er, go eat with sister-in-law."

Huang Lingwei jumped forward a few steps, pointed at Shan Lirou and shouted: "What is this?!"

Huang Zhongying replied flatly: "Shan Li."

Mrs. Xu raised her brows lightly: "Ying'er, just hand over such a smelly item to the servants."

Huang Zhongying protested slightly: "Sister-in-law should call me Aying, after all I am old."

"Xiao Liu," Mrs. Xu ignored him, and ordered the servant who was a few steps behind to come over, "help the second young master take it and send it to the kitchen."

The maid named Xiaoliu took care of Huang Lingwei personally. After she took the meat away, Mrs. Xu came up and hugged Huang Zhongying affectionately, "Ying'er is gone, go a little late, your brother should have something to say."

Huang Zhongying's moon-white face flushed a little, he had never been able to withstand the love of his elders.Huang Lingwei was not jealous that her mother took her uncle away and left her behind. She ran to her uncle like a happy bird and chirped, "Uncle, where did that Shanli come from?"

"Bai Xin gave it to her. He is the husband of Chang Liushui."

"Hey? It's the Chang's family. How can anyone send half of it? Wouldn't they send the whole one? How stingy, but fortunately, uncle, you don't have to marry that Chang Liushui, otherwise—"

"Vill!"

Huang Lingwei suddenly realized that she had slipped her tongue. She glanced left and right for a while but didn't dare to look at Xu Shi who was staring at her angrily and Huang Zhongying who didn't know why.

"How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to hide outside your father's study and eavesdrop, you keep making mistakes again and again," Mrs. Xu was very annoyed, "You don't have to participate in Miss Chen's painting and calligraphy meeting, copy books obediently for me in the boudoir! "

This decision undoubtedly made Huang Lingwei jump in anger, but she couldn't beat Mrs. Xu, so she ran back to her room angrily, and went on a hunger strike to protest.

After solving the troubled child, Mrs. Xu turned her head and said to Huang Zhongying: "Don't take Wei'er's words to heart. It was just a naughty joke between your brother and Chang Jingxing more than ten years ago. People don't take it seriously, they don't count."

Huang Zhongying breathed a sigh of relief.

When Bai Xin arrived home, he saw Chang Liushui waiting outside the door, pretending that something happened, he rushed up, "Ah Shui, what's wrong?!"

"Ah?" Chang Liushui looked at him in surprise, and then avoided his sight with some embarrassment. It was hard to say that he was worried that he would make people embarrassed when he went to Huang's house, so he quickly changed the subject: "There is something you like to eat in the evening." Qing Suan, come in and wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Bai Xin was pleasantly surprised when he heard Qingsuan, "You can still buy vegetables at the market so late?"

Seeing that he was back, Mrs. Qin hurriedly brought out the food, while the others were busy filling the food and arranging the bowls and chopsticks.

"I didn't buy it." Ah Shui took a pot of hot water and poured it into a tub, mixed it with cold water for Bai Xin to wash his hair and face, and stood aside to pass a cloth towel. He sent a basket of vegetables grown by himself. It is said that his husband is Ju Cheng, who used to be a long-term worker here in his early years."

Bai Xin complained casually: "I am in good health, just wash my hands, no need to use hot water."

Immediately, Ah Shui stared at him with his mouth pursed.Bai Xin compromised helplessly, and quickly asked, "Does he have a son named Ju Fengmao?"

"Hey, you actually know?"

"At the west city gate during the day, Ju Fengmao is a soldier guarding the city. He took the initiative to tell me."

Qin came out to call for dinner, so the two quickly packed up and went into the front hall hand in hand.

In the middle of the hall is a patchwork table made of wooden boards, a masterpiece of Bai Xin.The conditions are insufficient and the staff is scarce, so there is no need to divide the table.The Qin family was older, so she was asked to sit on the main seat; the other two sat on one side.I saw Bai Baoshu staring at the food on the table, and could faintly hear him slobbering.Qin moved the chopsticks first, and then Bai Xin picked up a piece of meat for him, and the little guy squinted his eyes with joy.

A total of six and a half people——Bai Baoshu is only eight years old counts as half. They made a big pot of stewed Shanli meat with tea tree mushrooms, a bowl of stir-fried pork with green garlic, and a bowl of fried potatoes and rice with sauerkraut.The green garlic sauerkraut and potatoes were all sent by Ju Langjun.Peel the shelled potatoes and take out the granules, and then put them in water; heat the pan with the fat that oozes out when the Shanli meat is stewed, wash the sauerkraut and fry it together with the potato granules.Like Suizhou, Guzhou eats pickled cabbage pickled with shepherd's purse and salt.

Shanli meat and ginger tea tree mushroom have been stewed together for more than an hour. The meat is soft and tender and the soup is sweet.

Lao Tong, who was sitting opposite Bai Xin, had regained his former glory, his hair was straightened and tied up with a headscarf, and he was wearing Lin Da's clothes, which looked very loose.His body is extremely thin, as can be seen from the obvious sunken cheeks.Most of the pot of broth went into Lao Tong's stomach.After eating and drinking enough, he just briefly talked about his experience.

That day when the pirates landed, Lao Tong didn't have time to hide. Fortunately, the pirates saw him huddled in fear and didn't kill him, but arrested him and sent him to a big ship.The underside of the cabin was full of captured civilians, all of whom were middle-aged men with their clothes stripped off except for their underpants. The men had to lean close to each other to keep warm. Fortunately, the bottom of the boat was not ventilated, so the cold wind outside would not blow them easily. Come in.

It is hard to escape because of the strict defense above, and once found, they will be beaten to death before they come down.From time to time, pirates would come down and catch people out.

Old Tong was also caught once, and when he went up, he found that some pirate heads wanted to play, and they were the toys of these pirate heads.Old Tong was blindfolded with a black cloth, so he could only concentrate on listening to the movement around him.A man was shot through the eye with an arrow and died instantly before being thrown into the water.There was a sound of falling into the water, and Lao Tong noticed that the water was not deep, so it should be very close to the shore.When he was imprisoned at the bottom of the boat again, Lao Tong stole a small knife secretly.In the end, with this pocket knife, he poked a hole in the bottom of the boat.The boat was flooded, the pirates fled one after another, and the captured people fled in a panic, and then many people were squeezed to death to block the exit.Old Tong didn't do anything, he simply opened up the hole and swam out of the hole before the boat sank.

After wandering around for several days, Lao Tong first arrived near Yucheng, but Yucheng was surrounded by pirates.If he didn't run fast, I'm afraid he would be caught again or let the pirates kill him with a knife.He ran alone, was beaten by a gang of refugees, and walked to Xijiang City with great difficulty.

After Lao Tong finished speaking, the atmosphere on the table was tense.He just lamented a few times, and Lin Da had already quietly wiped away his tears.There are also Zhou's father who is worried about his children and Bai Baoshu who misses his parents and relatives. Zhou's father can't help but hug the treasure book in his arms.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there is not even a bed at home.Bai Xin went to several shops and asked about it. There was a lot of work at the end of the year, and a simple four-poster bed would have to wait two or three days before he was free to do it.However, the family needs at least four beds, each of which costs [-] yuan.

Sleeping on the floor for the past few nights, Qin had no choice but to light a charcoal brazier to keep warm.The charcoal is ordinary charcoal, and the smell of smoke is very choking. After a few nights of smoking, Qin has already coughed a bit.

Bai Xin simply bought wood and tools from the shop and made his own bed.It turned out that when he was in the village, he often made small wooden gadgets or utensils. In addition, he was strong and planed wood quickly, which saved a lot of time compared with other carpenters.

Go ahead and do it.With Lao Tong's reminder, Bai Xin bought a carriage.On weekdays, the horse is kept in the back yard, where there are many weeds, enough for it to gnaw.With the car, Bai Xin brought back a carload of wood in one go.If it wasn't for the lack of time, the trees cut down from the mountain needed to be dried, so he didn't have to buy so much wood.

Father Lin and Tong Zhou came over one after another to help move the wood in.At Bai Xin's request, Ah Shui tried to draw blueprints.

When everything was ready, a yamen servant suddenly came and stopped outside the door on a fast horse.

The author has something to say:

small theater--

Author: Hmph, stupid Ah Xin thought he would not change his mind and fell in love with the beautiful male supporting role, how could he know that this male supporting role was originally set up as his rival in love.

Bai Xin: Author, come out for a walk, I promise not to do anything.

The author begged for mercy: I was wrong!I will change it right away!

Ah Jin came out to despise the author: You are so unprincipled
