The one-day journey from Hangzhou to Qiantang sounds quite far. In fact, Qiantang is Fuguo County of Hangzhou. If we go from the West Lake, the distance in a straight line is only dozens of miles. However, from the land to Hangzhou, it is difficult to reach Hangzhou because of the West Lake.

, they could only go there from the north bank of the West Lake, but it was a long detour, so it would have taken them half a day at most to take the water route, but it would take them a whole day to take the land route.

When Xu Xuan returned to Qiantang, the shortest way was of course to leave the city directly from the west gate of Lin'an. Taking a boat to Qiantang was the closest. However, Xu Xuan thought of the assassins he had met in succession in the past few days. Halfway through the waterway, there was a section with few human traces.

If someone has evil intentions and kills people here to silence them, he can say that he is safe and sound with Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing protecting him, but other people are afraid of being killed when facing these evil people. This is not Xu Xuan's unfounded worry. Every year

From the bottom of the West Lake, there are dozens, if not a hundred, of corpses accidentally recovered.

Xu Xuanke didn't believe that these people who assassinated him would give up like this.

But from this land route, because Lin'an is the capital, the public security situation must be taken seriously. Therefore, there are many military camps along the official road, and there are an endless stream of pedestrians and caravans on the road. From time to time, there are patrols and patrols, so this land route

Although it was further away, it was much safer than the waterway. Therefore, Xu Xuan chose to go back by carriage.

It was precisely because of safety and the fact that the drivers driving the carriages were all old people who traveled all over the country that it was originally a one-day journey. With the hurry and slow driving of these drivers, we arrived at Qiantang County just after noon.

Xu Xuan thanked the driver and paid extra for the ride. Everyone gathered at the gate of Qiantang County and went back one after another. However, Xu Xuan did not return to Qingyutang. After all, he was married now, so he couldn't go back with him before.

Living like that in Qingyutang.

But there would be something wrong if he took Bai Suzhen back to Li Gongfu's place. In ancient times, one became an adult after getting married, so how could he still live in his brother-in-law's house? Although with Li Gongfu's temperament, he was the only one in his family, and he wished Xu Xuan could live in his house.

Of course, there won't be anything to say there, but the gossip of ordinary people can probably drown people. Therefore, if Xu Xuan wants to stand up and be a good man in the future, this is not advisable after all.

Fortunately, the Xu family's property was not taken away by the clan elders in this life, so when Xu Xuan came to Qiantang, he could finally settle down in the Xu family's old house. However, these days, Xu Jiaorong has integrated into the identity of the Li family's daughter-in-law, and for the old house

There was a lot less cleaning, and the old house had not been inhabited for a long time, so it seemed a bit spooky, so fewer people came.

When Xu Xuan proposed to live in the old house, Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong both opposed it. Although their respective excuses were that the old house had not been inhabited for a long time and was in a dilapidated state, Xu Xuan knew that the house had been in ruins since their sister.

The three younger brothers left. At first, the three of them would go back from time to time to take a look. However, as Xu Jiaorong and Xu Xian became accustomed to living in the Li family, Xu Xuan was too busy to go back. After all, no one visited this house.

There were overgrown weeds, and the trees in the yard began to grow wildly, looking gloomy. Not to mention others, Li Gongfu accompanied Xu Xian once in the evening when he had something to go back to the old house. Before he could reach the study, he was frightened by a few owl calls.

I had to crawl out of this yard.

In addition, Linglong was temporarily living in this house, and someone saw the lights on in the yard in the middle of the night, but the door was locked. As time passed, the rumors of the Xu family's old house being haunted gradually became confirmed, but Xu Xuan knew what was going on here.

Where can there be ghosts in this house? Even if there are ghosts, not to mention Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, even the five ghosts under their control, ordinary ghosts are not enough for them to deal with.

Although Xu Xuan insisted on returning to his old house, Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong firmly disagreed this time. They were in a stalemate. Seeing that the two siblings were about to quarrel, Bai Suzhen on the side quickly smiled.

He said, "My lord, my sister and brother-in-law are also kind-hearted. This house has not been inhabited for a long time. Not to mention the snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Even the bedding is probably damp and unusable. If the lord doesn't want to bother my brother-in-law and the others, they can stay here tonight."

I will find some people to help clean my place tomorrow, and I think it will be habitable."

Listening to Bai Suzhen's words, Xu Xuan thought about it. Although Linglong had lived in this house before, Xu Xuan had been away from here for a long time. God knows whether the quilt could still be used to cover him, so he nodded and said, "In that case

, sister and husband, I will temporarily stay at my wife’s place today,”

After Xu Xuan finished speaking, he saw that Xu Jiaorong seemed unhappy. Knowing that he did not go to live at Li Gongfu's house made his sister feel a little grudge, so he smiled and explained, "Sister, I don't want to get close to my sister and brother-in-law unless I get married. What do you think?"

The only rooms in my brother-in-law's house that can accommodate people are those. If I take my wife and Xiaoqing there, how can I accommodate them in my brother-in-law's house? Should I let my brother-in-law sleep on the street?"

Xu Jiaorong heard what Xu Xuan said, and when she thought about it, it was indeed true. She didn't look so insistent, but she still said, "Humph, if you really come to live with me, what will happen if you let your brother-in-law sleep on the street?"

When Li Gongfu heard what Xu Jiaorong said, he couldn't help but muttered, "Why should I go out to live? Can't Xu Xian still live in the school?"

When Xu Jiaorong heard this, she already grabbed Li Gongfu's ear with her right hand, "Li Gongfu, what did you just say?"

Li Gongfu was in pain and hurriedly said, "It hurts, it hurts, Xu Jiao, what are you going to do? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by your brothers and sisters?"

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing on the side covered their mouths and laughed when they saw the appearance of these two people. After hearing this, Xu Jiaorong let go of her hands bitterly, but when she saw Xu Xuan and Bai Suzhen laughing, she also started laughing.

.

However, Xu Jiaorong still felt uneasy, "Second brother, when you go to your sister's place, if you need anything, remember to come here to look for your sister and sew bedding and so on. You can come to me then."

Bai Suzhen on the side had already heard that Xu Jiaorong was looking at the dress of the lady from a wealthy family. She was afraid that she didn't understand this knitted red dress, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, if Suzhen really can't do it, she will definitely go."

Looking for help from my sister”

Xu Xuan also smiled and said, "Sister, I'm just going to Suzhen's place to stay for one night. It's not like I won't come back if I leave. Why should I worry, sister?"

Li Gongfu, who was beside him, had long been impatient and urged, "Let's go, let's go. You are not as clear as my second brother. You can only stay with your younger brother and sister for one night. You make it look like you are parting from life or death."

When Xu Jiaorong heard what Li Gongfu said, she quickly spat, "Bah, bah, you are a dog and can't spit out ivory. Unfortunately, you are still a head hunter. You don't know what to say. The second brother is getting married, and he is about to live a long life."

It’s a good day, why do you say these words?”

When Li Gongfu heard this, he knew that Xu Jiaorong was angry, so he quickly apologized and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong, isn't it? It's getting late, we'd better go back as soon as possible. Second brother, your sister and I will leave. You

Go to bed early too!"

After Li Gongfu finished speaking, he pulled Xu Jiaorong away who was still chattering. Xu Xuan turned around and smiled to talk to Bai Suzhen. He was stunned when he saw the woman in front of him. Bai Suzhen was still wearing white clothes today, looking soft and weak.

Standing in the sunshine, her cheeks were flushed. When the sunshine illuminated her face, her face shone brightly. However, Xu Xuan couldn't help but feel a slight jump in his heart. At this time, his mind was a little clearer. In the future, he
