Chapter 277 Big Brother

  Bai Jingyuan frowned, as if thinking of something bad.

  He raised his head and glanced at Bai Jinyan who was looking at him, "It's not good."

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Who is this 'he'?" Bai Jinyan became even more curious as he watched them play charades. In the water, comfortable and lazy.

  Bai Mohuai paused and sighed inexplicably.

  Bai Tanshen seemed to know the answer, so he didn't ask any more, "If that's the case, what can I do."

  The voice seemed to be sighing softly.

  Bai Jingyuan showed a rare confused look, a few strands of hair cut through the warm water, disturbing the calm of the pool, "Perhaps, it is the most suitable choice for Xiao Yuer to marry him."

Bai Jinyan didn't taste the first few sentences, but this sentence was a cat whose tail was stepped on. He pawed and pulled a few times in the hot spring pool, propped his elbows on the shore, and said in disbelief: "Why is it the best choice? Fifth sister is so young, maybe someone better will show up in the future, tsk, I don't know what you guys think, but Xie Xingyun wants to get married as soon as possible and you actually agree..."

  Bai Tan flicked his long and deep fingers, and the water splashed all the way onto the face of the chattering young man, "Shut up and soak in your hot spring."

  Bai Jinyan showed a meaningless expression on his face, "Okay, okay, you are the big brother, the elder brother is like a father, I will listen to you."

   Several people soaked for about half an hour, then changed their clothes and came out.

  Guo Ying has already left, only Bai Xianyu is sitting on the chair outside, taking a nap on the desk.

  The midday sun made me dizzy, and my eyelids were fighting.

  In the dimness, she saw a few people approaching, slowly opened her eyes and smiled, "Brother."

  Bai Tan's deep eyes flashed a trace of deepness, but it was covered up in an instant, and he raised his lips, "Did it bother you?"

   "No, I'm just a little sleepy, and I didn't fall asleep at first. Are you comfortable in the bath?"

"It must be comfortable." Bai Jinyan said with a smile: "Princess, the hot springs in the Princess's mansion are very famous. I wanted to come here before, but I never had the chance, and now it's a wish. "

  Bai Xianyu smiled helplessly: "There are so many things that fourth brother wants to do."

  The existence of the Princess’s Mansion is special. Except for the direct relatives of the royal family, the general male family members are not allowed to enter, so only he dares to come to this hot spring...

  Bai Jinyan straightened his clothes and said modestly, "It's okay, okay."

  Bai Mohuai knocked his head with a fan, "It's alright, I'm here today to see Xiao Yu'er, not to listen to you being silly."

   "Alright, second brother, younger sister, I heard that Li Changning is also here, did she bother you?"

  When this question was mentioned, the faces of several people were serious, even Bai Jinyan's expression was much more serious.

  Bai Xianyu: "No."

  Bai Tan smiled coldly, "Lying?"

Bai Xianyu was defeated, and said in a low voice: "I tried, but she didn't succeed, big brother and second brother, don't worry, I'm safe here, Li Changning has been grounded, if there are no special circumstances, the two of us I can't even see each other."

  …

  Changqiu Hall.

  Li Changning lost his temper the first day he was grounded and wanted to rush out.

   But every time she walked to the gate of the yard, guards immediately blocked her way.

  No matter how intimidating she is, they will not let her out!

   "Your Highness, please calm down. This bodyguard is the personal guard or the descendant of His Highness the Princess. It was given by the late Emperor. He is extremely loyal and protects the Lord. He must not be injured. If he is injured, His Royal Highness will be angry."

  Although people cannot go out here, outsiders can come in. Qiaoer stood aside and poured water for Li Changning.

  Of course Li Changning knew, she just knew, that's why she was so angry, she snatched the teacup, she took two sips, then dropped the teacup gloomily, "Did anyone notice when you came?"

   "No, no one saw the servant when he came. The servant came here as soon as Bai Xianyu finished his work."

   "What is Bai Xianyu doing?"

   "She has been making robes for the young master. It seems that the style is quite complicated."

"Robe?" Li Changning let out a chuckle, with contempt in his eyes undisguised, "She doesn't think that this will make her look more virtuous and virtuous, does she? Without diamonds to do porcelain work, she sewed it without embarrassment in wearing it." ?"

   "Exactly." Qiao'er echoed, feeling a little happy in her heart.

  The robe is clearly designed with exquisite threading, but Qiaoer doesn't want to admit it. She used to be famous for her excellent embroidery work in the Hou Mansion, but Bai Xianyu's craftsmanship is not bad, she can't accept it!

  Why would a pampered young lady do such a thing!

   She has practiced so hard for so many years, no one should be able to compare with her!

   "Anything else?"

   "No more... Ah no, before this servant came, I heard that several young masters of the Bai family had come to see Bai Xianyu. This servant thought that Bai Xianyu might have filed a complaint, so she came to support her."

  Li Changning thought of the faces of those men in his mind, and the jealousy in his eyes deepened.

  She obviously has several older brothers, but apart from her direct brother, the others are not close. Why is Bai Xianyu's older brother protecting her like this?

  Everyone is protecting her!

  But Qiaoer continued: "I brought a lot of things, piled up all over the floor, as if I don't need money, it's good to have a brother."

   Li Changning stared at her coldly.

  Qiaoer shuddered, "I didn't mean to praise her! My servant, my servant actually envies your highness even more. Your highness also has several older brothers, and they are all noble princes. Your highness must also spoil your highness."

If it wasn't for Qiaoer's body shaking like a sieve, Li Changning would have thought she was mocking her, but she couldn't swallow her breath when she heard what Qiaoer said, and said through gritted teeth: "Deliberately sue, let her brother come here." Support her, right? Who doesn't have a brother?"

   "Come on!"

   "Your Highness, the servant girl is here!" A servant girl knelt down at the door immediately.

   "You go and send invitations to my royal brother and the others, invite them to come to see me at the princess mansion, and tell my aunt by the way."

   "Your Highness, what if His Royal Highness Eldest Princess refuses?"

  Li Changning said viciously: "Bai Xianyu's older brothers can come in, why can't my emperor come to see me? If you mess up this matter, just find a rope and hang yourself!"

   "Yes, yes!" The servant girl was too busy to promise, so she quickly sent the message.

  Qiaoer didn't know what she said wrong, she stood aside tremblingly, not daring to speak.

On the other side, after Bai Xianyu finished explaining the ins and outs of the matter, Bai Jinyan was very angry, "Li Changning is a lunatic, she used to do some secret poking moves in the academy, as long as a girl approached Xie Xingyun, the next day, she would kill him." She will send someone to warn you, and now she still wants to touch you!"

  Bai Xianyu didn't want to tell the truth because she didn't want to worry them. Even though she knew in her heart that she wouldn't suffer, they probably wouldn't believe her.

  Bai Jingyuan pondered for a moment, "I will talk to the emperor about this matter tomorrow morning. If there are not enough guards around you, third brother will send more people later."

   "Don't let her go." Bai Tanshen spoke even more bluntly, with a cold expression on his face, "The emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. If she provokes you, you can fight back. If anything happens, brother will take care of it for you."

  His eyes were very serious, "Never let yourself be wronged, understand?"

  Bai Xianyu's heart seemed to have been roasted by warm charcoal fire, and he nodded slightly, "Understood, I will not wrong myself."

Bai Mohuai rubbed the top of her hair, like when she was a child, with gentle eyes, "Brothers work so hard to make your life more comfortable, if your life is not good, what's the use of having a high official position and wealth? It’s better not to live with you, it might be better to go back to the countryside.”

"Second brother." Bai Xianyu's eyes were already hot, she hesitated, and her tone was light, afraid that they would hear the deep meaning behind these words, "If one day, our family doesn't have so much money, and we don't With such great power, do you feel unwilling?"

  Bai Jinyan raised an eyebrow, "Is that person still there?"

  Bai Xianyu said: "Yes."

  While waiting, the warm wind caressed the girl's youthful but beautiful face, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.

   I don't know who laughed first, and then there were laughter one after another.

  Bai Xianyu raised his head in a daze, and looked at the few people puzzled.

  Bai Jingyuan couldn't help curling his lips, "What stupid things are you talking about?"

Bai Tan patted her on the head deeply, "Let's put it this way, my brother has actually lived long enough. Many brothers have fallen in front of me, but I have lived until today. Sometimes I also wonder when I will Die, I've been thinking about it since the moment I picked up the spear."

"I used to be young, and felt that it would be somewhat regrettable if I died in battle, but now," his tone suddenly became serious, "my brother's only concern in this world is you. As long as you are well, why not my brother?" Willingly."

  The only thing he is not reconciled to now is that if he... leaves, the sister he holds in his hand will be bullied.

  She is so well-behaved, she looks so small, and looks like anyone can bully her, which is really worrying.

  Bai Jingyuan nodded approvingly, with searching eyes, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

  Bai Xianyu blinked, "It's nothing, I'm just curious."

   "Don't be curious, the second brother can tell you right now." Bai Mohuai said with a smile: "Money is something outside of the body, you can earn it again if you lose it, and the most important thing is being with your family. There is nothing to be reluctant about."

   "Is that so." Bai Xianyu gradually showed a smile, and asked tentatively, "Can we leave the capital after that day?"

  Bai Tanshen and Bai Jingyuan looked at each other, and said slowly: "You want to leave the capital?"

   "I think," Bai Xianyu nodded, paused for two seconds, shook his head again, and corrected: "It's us, can we leave Kyoto?"

  No one spoke first, Bai Jinyan seemed to have sensed something, and remained silent.

  Bai Jingyuan wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Bai Tanshen, who fixedly looked at Bai Xianyu, "Yes."

  Bai Jingyuan stopped talking, and stood quietly aside, looking at the layers of red walls.

  Bai Xianyu glanced at Bai Jingyuan, then at Bai Tanshen, something flashed in his eyes, "Big brother, third brother, do you have something to hide from me?"

  Bai Tanshen replied calmly: "What's the matter? Now that your elder brother is a Marquis, it's the time when the spring breeze is in full swing. How can there be any troubles?"

  His voice has a convincing sense of calm, as if the sky is falling and he is holding it up.

   "Oh." Bai Xianyu replied twice, smiling with some anticipation, "That's good, if we can leave the capital, that would be great."

   Staying away from these disputes only needs an excuse.

  Walking out of the princess mansion, Bai Tanshen and Bai Jingyuan walked last, got into a carriage on Baimohuai Road, and went to discuss business, but Bai Jinyan didn't know where he went as soon as he left the mansion.

"I conveyed your meaning to the emperor, brother, but he refused to let go." Bai Jingyuan slowed down on the road, and this was the reason why he didn't go to see the eldest princess with Bai Tanshen and Bai Jinyan, "Not only that, he also asked me directly. , why are you resigning?"

  Bai Tan said lightly: "Does he really not understand?"

  Bai Jingyuan snorted softly, and his confused look reappeared.

   "Da Kui has regained all his lost land, his father's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, and I have nothing else to desire. If I continue to occupy this position, I'm afraid it will hurt you."

  Power gradually reaches its peak, which means that something will inevitably be lost. The Bai family is too strong and will be backlashed.

   It's like Xiao Yuer's dream.

  Bai Jingyuan said: "If he doesn't criticize you, what should you do?"

   "Then... let's continue for a while, wait for an opportunity." Bai Tan murmured deeply.

  Bai Jingyuan didn't ask any more questions either. Ever since Bai Xianyu told him about the precognitive dream, he didn't hesitate for long, and started to make arrangements for retreat.

   Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, such a price is unbearable for him.

  Don’t say it’s the eldest brother, even he is unwilling to go to the point of tit-for-tat with that person. If he can avoid confrontation, it’s better to keep the face of the monarch and ministers. If it’s really a step where there is no way out...

   Who knows what will happen.

  The air is extraordinarily heavy, making people breathless. Under the feet of the emperor in Kyoto, the surface is prosperous, but many bones are buried behind it.

  One general is successful and ten thousand bones are exhausted. In times of war, there are more fierce generals, but generals have never seen peace.

  It would be great if there was an excuse to get away quietly.

  They can take Yaomei to settle in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

   But now that she and Xie Xingyun are married, and the marriage is imminent, and the situation is getting more urgent, the best choice is to send her out of the capital first.

  Nanzhao was cold and clammy, and I don't know if her body could bear it.

  Bai Jingyuan sighed deeply, feeling helpless, "It's not impossible if he remembers his old love."

  Bai Tanshen smiled indifferently, and said lazily, "It's easy to say."

   Throughout the ages, there are countless people who have made great military exploits, but very few have retired.

  "Instead of pinning your hopes on the illusory old love, it is better to think of other ways."

   "Easier said than done?" Bai Jingyuan also replied four words.

  Those heroes and generals who tried to retire were not stupid, and they pulled out in time, and there were only a handful of them who successfully figured out a way to retreat.

   Ask for a monthly pass~

   Yuyu thought of a solution, it was there before, and the answer will be revealed soon.
