"By the way, will Sister Shuang'er be in the house now?" Liu Yueqi suddenly asked as he was about to enter.
"The eldest lady?" Sifu patted his head: "I remember that the eldest lady has not come back since she went out yesterday!"
"Oh...what strange things happened in the city today?"
"Something strange?" Sifu was stunned, thought for a moment, and shook his head.
"Okay then!" Liu Yueqi didn't ask any further questions: "Take the horse to the stable, and I'll take Sister Xiaobai to the guest room first..."
"Okay!" Sifu picked up the horse and walked to the palace, thinking in his heart: The young master is a decent man. He invited Miss Bai to the palace and let her stay in the guest room... Huh? What am I thinking? No
Where to stay in the guest room? Strange...
He took Bai Yeqing for two steps and then found that she was standing still.
Liu Yueqi turned around and saw Bai Yeqing standing there looking at him with an aggrieved face.
"Xiao Qi...I...I don't want to stay in the guest room...I want to sleep with you!"
"..." Liu Yue held her forehead together, and even felt Qing'er in her arms twitching, probably because she was angry.
"Um...Sister Xiao Bai, let's talk about this later, but now I want to see my father. Do you...want to go with me?" Liu Yueqi knew that Bai Yeqing didn't think much of the entire Liuyue Mansion.
Bai Yeqing seemed to blame part of his mother's death on Liu Yuelin...
In fact, Liu Yueqi is quite rational. He does not think that Liu Yuelin caused Madam Bai's death. His father does not look like that kind of... bad person. Instead, he often shows a sense of guilt towards Madam Bai and even Bai Yeqing.
, that kind of feeling doesn’t seem to be fake...
Maybe Liu Yueqi could understand what Bai Yeqing was thinking. She regarded Mrs. Bai as the closest person. Mrs. Bai died in an accident after marrying a man. It was common for resentment to spread to the people around her.
Therefore, even though the relationship between the two is relatively close now, the hurdle in Bai Ye Qing's heart still has to be considered.
Sure enough, when Bai Yeqing heard that he wanted to see Liu Yuelin, he also fell silent, with a few traces of confusion flashing across his face.
She was indeed reluctant to meet Liu Yuelin, her uncle... who would even become her father-in-law later. Because she believed that if Aunt Bai hadn't married him and stayed with her in the Bai Mansion, she would definitely not
dead!
She has regarded Aunt Bai as her only relative since she was a child. Aunt Bai's death was indeed a huge blow to her at that time, so she has always disliked Liuyue Mansion...except of course Xiao Qi now!
It's just that the hurdle in the heart has to be overcome. Bai Yeqing is not a person with particularly deep obsessions. After so many years, it really can't be justified for him to blame Liu Yuelin for Aunt Bai's death... Moreover, he
After all, he is Xiao Qi's father, and since he likes Xiao Qi so much, it is definitely impossible to think that he will never see him again...
So, let's meet.
After thinking about it clearly, Bai Yeqing sighed and said: "Xiao Qi, the last time I came to see you when you were injured, I met my uncle, but I didn't talk... this time..."
Liu Yueqi stroked the palm of her hand and comforted: "It's okay, little sister Bai, dad is always talking about you, you can have a good chat this time."
Bai Yeqing finally nodded.
Walking to a deserted place, Liu Yueqi released Qing'er from her sleeve.
Qing'er: "???"
Little Snake'er stared blankly at Liu Yueqi, what's the matter, why don't you take Qing'er with you when you go to see your father?
"Qing'er, something must have happened if Sister Shuang'er didn't come back. Coupled with the black dragon that appeared inexplicably that day, I suspect there are other monsters in Chu Jing... Qing'er, run fast and go help investigate Sister Shuang'er.
Let’s follow the trend so that we can feel more at ease.”
Qing'er was dissatisfied, wrapped around Liu Yueqi's hand, and didn't want to go down... She was obviously the young master's personal maid, why did she have to do this kind of work by herself? Let Xiao Wu... By the way, because the people from Kunlun are here, so is Xiao Wu.
I went out of the city to hide for the time being...but I didn't want to go! Now I can only look like this to avoid being discovered by Kunlun's magic weapon that illuminates demons. It's just right for me to stick to the young master every day, but the young master wants to drive me away, no!
"Qing'er, be obedient!" Liu Yueqi scolded lightly.
In fact, when the black dragon appeared, Liu Yueqi felt a little uneasy. After all, this was a world of cultivating immortals. Why didn't she want to lie at home playing with snakes and foxes every day? But if trouble came to her door, wouldn't it be a dead end?
...In the past, Sister Xiaobai was considered a third-level demon, and she really didn’t have to worry about anyone in Chujing. But it’s different now. There are both Black Dragon and Hall Master Chen in the city, and their targets still seem to be small ones.
Sister Bai, Bai Ye can hide her for a while, but not for a lifetime. Since the black dragon can appear on the roof of Bai Mansion for no reason at the beginning, it is naturally possible that it will come to the door again at any time!
It is also an emergency need to let Qing'er leave him to investigate. First of all, he must know what is happening in the city and be prepared for the upcoming changes. Secondly, Qing'er has the earth escape technique. When it comes to escaping, no matter whether it is Hall Master Chen
Even Sister Xiaobai can't catch up, so there won't be any safety issues...
Qing'er curled up into a small ball and buried her head, looking aggrieved...Young master is cruel to me...
Liu Yueqi shook her head helplessly, raised her hand to touch Qing'er's head, and slowly explained to her.
"That's it... Qing'er, now the city is full of dangers. The people in Kunlun are catching monsters in the open. This is definitely not groundless. There are probably monsters in the city. Moreover, what is the purpose of the black dragon suddenly appearing here? I
It doesn't feel like they are here specifically for Sister Xiaobai. If so, they wouldn't be so reckless as to drag Sister Xiaobai to fight outside the city. They must have other purposes... If we stay in the house all the time, nothing will happen.
If you don't know, what should we do if the black dragon comes to our door again... I can't really let you eat me and run away..."
"Young Master... I just have to be obedient..." Qing'er is usually a bit shady, but she is quite obedient to Liu Yueqi. She just wants to stay with the Young Master for a while longer...
"This is my good Qing'er!" Liu Yueqi came up and kissed her little snake head, then put her on the ground.
Qing'er was confused for a few seconds. After digesting the sudden intimacy from the young master, she turned around twice and disappeared to the ground.
Bai Yeqing looked at this scene thoughtfully.
After Qing'er disappeared, he stepped forward and said, "Xiao Qi, Qing'er seems to listen to you...why is that..."
Liu Yueqi smiled and asked, "Is Miss Xiaobai obedient?"
"Ah... me?" Bai Yeqing's face turned red... Why should I listen to Xiao Qi's words... Xiao Qi's words were right, so I listened..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Yue giggled twice, and without further words, she pulled Sister Xiaobai towards the small courtyard where Liu Yue Lin lived.
I heard from my servant that the second master is at home today and is currently in the study.
Liu Yueqi rubbed her head. In addition to checking the accounts, her father also liked to meet some business friends. Even if he stayed at the house, he would find a place to bask in the sun leisurely and rarely go back to the study... Apart from Liu Yueqi, his father also liked to meet some business friends.
There are no scholars other than Yueqi. Only the study in Liuyueqi’s courtyard has a large collection of books. The other masters’ study rooms basically have nothing. They are usually used for entertaining guests. Dad is in the study now.
What to do?
I took Sister Xiaobai to the study here. The door was open. Through the door, I saw my father sitting at the desk and reading a book. He looked quite serious.
Liu Yueqi knocked on the door with her backhand, interrupting Liu Yuelin who was concentrating on reading, and joked with a smile: "Dad! Do you think that I have no hope of going to Beijing to take the exam, so you want to go into battle yourself..."
Then you are too greasy compared to other scholars!"
"Go, go, go!" Liu Yuelin waved his hand and scolded: "You brat, you dare to make fun of your father, right? I'm reading the chess records over here! That boss Zhang from Qingbei Pavilion has been pulling us away lately.
A few people were playing chess, and they were all businessmen. They were just playing chess for fun. But if Boss Zhang’s son went to Beijing, wouldn’t it be possible?
I was playing chess, but he made it so formal. I just wanted to read the chess records, improve my skills, and kill his breeze... But this chess game is too difficult, and I couldn't understand it even after reading it for a long time!"
Liu Yueqi couldn't help but feel a little funny. His father used to train him as a scholar, but he had an accident and now he has lost his memory. The education he received here and the poems and scriptures he memorized were all returned to his husband.
Naturally, I won’t be able to participate in this year’s autumn exam...
Regarding the imperial examination system of Chen State, a large country in the Central Plains, Liu Yueqi did not take the time to study it carefully. He only heard that there would be an autumn examination in mid-August. It was already the end of May. Going from Chu Jing to the capital of Chen State, it would be a horse-drawn carriage.
It will take at least a month, so students who usually want to take the exam should have already left.
In fact, Liu Yueqi had wondered before, if there was no threshold to take the exam, wouldn't Chen Guo's capital be overcrowded by students from all over the world? Later, I heard that these students from other countries could study in the royal families of various countries.
Liu Yueqi didn't know what it was like to be eligible for an exam. After all, he really had no intention of taking the exam...
Seeing that Boss Zhang's son was rushing to take the exam, and he could only eat at home and wait to die, Liu Yuelin also looked helpless, but he was unwilling to lose face, so he came back to study the chess records, hoping to earn some face in playing chess.
.
"Dad! The art of Go is profound and profound. How can we make any progress in a short period of time... It's just that although I don't know how to play Go, I can play another kind of chess called chess. It's when I'm... bored.
The thing I came up with is quite interesting, how about I teach you?" Liu Yueqi suddenly had an idea and thought of chess. In fact, compared to Go, chess is somewhat simpler and faster to learn.
"I just think about fancy things every day! I don't do anything serious! I haven't talked about you yet. Where did you go last night? I heard from the concierge that you didn't come home all night?" Liu Yuelin said angrily.
"Dad, aren't you kidding? Even though Chu Jing is big, I can't sleep on the street for one night. Where else can I go?" Liu Yueqi began to guide, making everyone in the house think that he
It would be best to spend the night in Baifu.
When Liu Yuelin heard this, she was stunned and said with a happy face: "Xiao Qi, were you in Bai Mansion last night?"
