395. Start with Emotion and End with Etiquette (Seeking Full Order)
She became more energetic.
She seemed to be twenty years younger.
"This crabapple flower... could it really be a magical herb?"
Li Qingzhao looked at the broken petals in the tea and said with regret.
Such a good thing should be planted.
But she wasted it.
"It's getting late."
"I... will take my leave."
Bai Gui stood up and said.
Then he rolled up the manuscript of Ru Meng Ling hanging in the living room.
He walked out the door. .
…
“Master Bai…”
“My young lady has been feeling unwell since she came home from the Qingming Festival. I asked a doctor yesterday, and he said she had caught a cold, which should be caused by the sex that day.”
“Now…my young lady still has a high fever and keeps calling Master Bai in a daze.”
“I know it’s wrong to disturb you rashly.”
“But I’m at a loss. Master Bai is the only person I can get familiar with in Lin’an Prefecture. If I find someone else, we two weak women will inevitably encounter unexpected events. Family wealth is a small matter. What if…”
At the entrance of Qinghe Street, the maid in green who followed Lady Bai last time wandered around, looking around, as if she was looking for someone. She looked anxious, and when she saw Bai Gui coming from the street entrance, her face suddenly lit up, stopped Bai Gui, and chattered a lot of words.
"Mrs. Bai is seriously ill?"
Bai Gui was "startled".
After returning home on Qingming Festival, he guessed that Mrs. Bai and Xiaoqing would find a reason to meet him again. But he didn't expect that they would come so quickly and the plan was so complete.
Bai Suzhen's family is in Gusu. Now she only has Xiaoqing by her side. She can't trust others. She is seriously ill again. It is reasonable for Xiaoqing to come to him, a man who is generous and generous. As for other people, it is difficult to judge their character. Mrs. Bai and Xiaoqing are rich and beautiful... and they are gentlemen. Who knows what evil thoughts they will have.
"But I...will get married in a few days. It's late at night now. Going to see Mrs. Bai again..."
"I don't know any medical skills."
Bai Gui hesitated.
Even if he intends to go, it would be bad if he is too decisive.
Xiaoqing didn't say anything, but just cried softly.
"Forget it, forget it."
"Saving people is more important. I'll go to Shuangchafang with you. You lead the way."
Bai Gui finally made up his mind and made a choice.
Xiao Qing showed a happy expression, bowed and said "Thank you, Mr. Bai", then turned around and led the way for Bai Gui.
The entrance of Shuangchafang Lane is next to the Arrow Bridge.
There is a winding stream under the bridge.
Along the river bank, you can see a two-story quaint building.
In front of the door are two drum stones, and the vermilion gate is painted with tung oil.
Go in.
It is a three-entry courtyard.
When you arrive at the East Garden, a wing room next to the courtyard wall should be a boudoir.
There is a fine glazed curtain hanging at the door, and the carved beams are inlaid with brocade clouds and cranes.
Lift the pearl curtain.
In the eye, there are four beauties hanging, which are the four beauties. In the middle was a statue of a deity, with towering mountains painted on it and Mount Li inscribed on it, and a copper incense burner and vase on the altar below.
On the incense couch, the beauty fell asleep, covered with a thin quilt, supported by her two jade arms, and the sweat from her elbows wet the quilt. Her black hair was not tied up in a bun, and her black hair was scattered on her exquisite body, stuck together by the dense sweat.
At this moment, the young lady murmured in her mouth, as if she was calling out the four words "Mr. Bai".
"Ms. Bai."
Bai Gui half-sat on the incense couch, holding Bai Suzhen's soft hands with both hands, and called softly.
At this time, the beauty on the bed blinked her long eyelashes, breathed quickly, opened her eyes with difficulty, and saw this scene, tenderness gradually emerged in her eyes, "I am destined to work hard, I am a widow, it is very good for God to take my life as soon as possible, so that I can reunite with my parents..."
"I am just a minor illness, it is not worth it for Mr. Bai to come to see me."
She blamed herself.
"Since you are in love with me..."
"Xiaoqing called me to come, I saw you were sleeping soundly, and called my name..., how can I really ignore it."
Bai Gui pretended to be affectionate.
Bai Niangzi was so delicate, even a fool could see the meaning. If he didn't express his attitude, it would arouse Bai Niangzi's suspicion. He didn't look like a blockhead no matter how you looked at him.
The two held hands and choked.
"I heard that you are going to get married soon, so I should not bother you anymore. Unfortunately, I am sick and have delayed your good deeds."
Lady Bai sighed.
"I am going to join the army and serve my country. My mother is worried that something might go wrong on the battlefield, so she ordered me to get married as soon as possible to leave a bloodline."
"I will leave home for the military camp this autumn..."
"I am lonely in the camp, and I am afraid I will not see you again, Miss Bai."
Bai Gui pointed out.
It is inconvenient for him to use Taoism in the camp, but Lady Bai has no such restrictions. If Taoism helps, he will have a smooth road after joining the army.
This is why he is willing to pretend to be submissive.
When the time, place and people are right, he will do it.
"Sir..."
Lady Bai sighed softly, but remembered what Bai Gui said in her heart.
"It's getting late today."
"I came to see you. My parents must be worried because they haven't heard from me for a long time. I'm leaving for now. If anything happens, just ask Xiaoqing to call me at my house."
Bai Gui pulled his hand away from Bai Niangzi's tender hands, then looked out the window at the sky and said.
He was not lying.
It would be fine if it was a normal day, but in recent days, Bai Li was worried about his marriage, and he would definitely notice it when he came home late.
"Since..."
"Since the master wants to join the army and leave a bloodline, why not consider me?"
"I agree too."
Bai Niangzi asked softly.
The scene was a little silent.
As soon as Bai Gui walked to the threshold, he lifted the bead curtain and paused, "Please don't say this, Miss Bai. I already have a family, and you don't need to worry about the matter of prolonging the heir."
"You and I are just acquaintances. Although there is affection, it starts from emotion and ends with etiquette!"
He looked like a moralist.
Bai Suzhen was willing to continue his bloodline, but Bai Gui was not willing. He was cultivating the Golden Elixir Dao, so it was fine if he was with ordinary people, as his True Yang would not leak out. But if he was with Bai Suzhen..., although he could not be seen as a cultivator, some mistakes were inevitable.
Besides, he did not want to be Xu Xian.
Bai Suzhen was stunned, silently watching Bai Gui's back as he walked away.
With her fairy-like appearance, almost any man in the world could be fascinated by her. But her benefactor, although he was in love with her, restrained his inner desires.
Some people would laugh at a gentleman. But some people would respect him.
Seeing Bai Gui walking away, Bai Suzhen simply stopped pretending to be sick. She walked to the dressing table in the boudoir, sat on the round table, looked at her face at the moment, and asked: "Xiaoqing, why do you say Bai Lang doesn't like me, but am I ugly?"
"Sister has a face that can shame the moon and flowers, and a figure that can make fish sink and geese fall."
"Brother-in-law... is a gentleman, he is still young, and he doesn't know the beauty of sister."
Xiaoqing chuckled and replied.
"Really?"
Bai Suzhen murmured softly, she looked back at the four beauties hanging on the wall, then picked up the bronze mirror and silently examined herself.
She felt that her appearance could be compared with the four beauties.
But this kind of appearance... can make Bai Gui moved, but not too much.
It can be seen that Bai Gui is an upright gentleman.
"Starting from love, ending with etiquette..."
"It's hard to overcome the calamity of love."
Bai Suzhen rolled up her hair and dressed up again.
