Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Bai Yitang squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan. After sizing him up for a long time, he cupped his fists and said with a light smile, "So it's Brother Chen. I haven't seen you in eighteen years, and you've changed a lot. If you hadn't opened your mouth, maybe I wouldn't recognize you, haha." Haha..." He looked at the two little girls behind Chen Yuan with a smile, and said with a smile, "The children have grown up, and we have grown up too."

Chen Yuan calmed down a little, looked at Bai Yitang with a complicated face and said, "I thought Brother Bai forgot his old friends after he got rich."

Even Bai Yitang, who had already decided not to argue with him, couldn't help being slightly angry when he heard the words, looking at the resentful Chen Yuan, he was speechless.

Bai Yitang didn't want to argue with others, but Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu would not let him suffer. Li Baolu countered: "So you are the Uncle Chen that Master mentioned? My Master often told me about his adventures in Qiongzhou, and also said that Chen Uncle and him are the best. He never allows me to move any packages sent from the Central Plains, and I don’t know what good things are inside, Uncle Chen, what good things have you sent my master before?"

Chen Yuan looked at Bai Yitang with some embarrassment.

Bai Yitang smiled but said nothing, just looked at Li Baolu tolerantly.

Gu Jingyun was even more ruthless, and asked directly: "Chen Daxia seems to have been following behind the convoy. Since he is a good friend with my master, why doesn't he come up to meet him? My wife hunted a deer at noon today. If Chen Daxia comes, I can drink with the venison with my master." It's fun. Could it be that Chen Daxia is thinking about it, so he doesn't want to come up to find my master?"

Chen Yuan glared at Bai Yitang angrily, "If Brother Bai doesn't welcome me, just say so, why let the disciples mock me?"

Bai Yitang explained lightly: "Brother Chen is overthinking. The two children are young and like to break the casserole and ask the bottom line. Please forgive me."

Chen Yuan's face turned blue, he opened his mouth, and seeing Bai Yitang's cold eyes, he closed his mouth.

Only then did Bai Yitang smile and said: "It's a pleasure to meet old acquaintances in a foreign land. It just so happens that there is still a lot of venison left from my apprentice's lunch. Why don't Brother Chen come and have a drink with us in the evening, how about it?"

Chen Yuan nodded with a sullen face, "Brother Bai invites you, you dare not refuse."

Li Baolu curled her lips, and as soon as she raised her head, her eyes met Chen Zhu who was behind Chen Yuan.

Chen Zhu was looking at her with wide eyes, obviously recognizing her.

Every time she met Ling Bi, Li Baolu was either wearing makeup or wearing a veiled hat, so she couldn't recognize her, but Chen Zhu was different, Chen Zhu had seen her true face.

Li Baolu stood behind Bai Yitang and made faces at her, Chen Zhu's eyes widened even further.

Gu Jingyun held her hand helplessly, and led her to the backyard. They decided to live in the backyard.

"Master, since you don't like him, why are you still talking to him in a soft voice?" Li Baolu felt aggrieved by her master.

"Because I want to sell the art of war to him," Bai Yitang said with a chuckle, "Although Chen Yuan is pedantic, his father and his wife are good at business, and the family has a lot of money. If you don't like him, then Coax him to spend a lot of money to buy a set of military books and take it back as an offering."

Bai Yitang was a little sad when he said this, "I was just thinking about taking advantage of the emperor, and printed a lot of books. I thought that everyone would praise this set of military books so much that there would be a lot of people rushing to buy them. Who knew that these two days would come secretly There are only a few people looking for me, and they still think that my asking price is too high..."

Bai Yitang snorted and said, "They don't even think it's a book of war. It's a book of war that the Zhang family collected slowly over hundreds of years. Many of them were written by the ancestors of the Zhang family. It's hard to buy if you have money." Just ask them for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they will cry and call you poor..."

Li Baolu was shocked, and only then did she know the price of this set of books. She smashed her lips, and finally said with her thumb up: "Master, you are cruel, you want tens of thousands of taels of silver for a set of books. Excuse me, but didn’t you print a lot?”

Rare things are precious, if there are only one or a few sets of this book, it will naturally be precious, but according to Bai Yitang's meaning, he has made the Royal Bookstore print a lot, how can he still charge such a high price?

But Bai Yitang said confidently: "Yes, there are quite a few prints, but they don't know about it, do they?"

No matter who it is, to anyone who comes to ask him for news, he will always reveal that there are only a few sets left, and if you don't buy it, there will be no more.

Anyway, everyone came to him secretly, no one knew who, even if he sold hundreds of sets, they didn't know each other.

Bai Yitang doesn't always sell tens of thousands of taels of silver, as long as the price is right and the other party's character is not too bad, he will sell most of them, even if he has no money and needs something to pay for it.

But there are many good things in the hands of Jianghu people, Bai Yitang called his apprentice to the room, took out a long box for her, and said with a smile: "I'll let you play for a few days."

Li Baolu opened the box, her eyes widened slightly. Inside was a pure white mutton jade Ruyi. She couldn't put it down and touched it again and again, drooling and asked, "Master, where did this come from?"

"The two filial sons of Zhengjiabao exchanged it for military books, and I handed over the others to sell. This jade ruyi is so beautiful, I guess you will like it, so I will keep it for you to play for a few days."

"How many days are there?"

"When we get to Chengdu, we'll hand it over to someone else." Bai Yitang looked at Ruyi and said, "Don't break it, it's worth a lot of money."

Li Baolu calculated the money on her body, it was impossible to buy this Yu Ruyi, it seemed that she could only look at it and drool for a few days.

Li Baolu hugged the box tightly and ran back to the room, carefully placing it on the table to admire.

She likes jade, especially suet white and emerald green.

"Put it away, I'll go to the kitchen with you to have a look, everyone has driven for a day, chop some deer bones and make soup to keep out the cold." Bai Yitang looked at the sky outside and said, "I'm afraid it will snow in two days, we Use deer bones and venison to make a soup base, which is good for serving, and it is also good for making soup on the road to drive away the cold."

Only then did Li Baolu put away the things.

It takes a long time to cook the soup base. Normally, it takes two or three days to boil the soup base to be good. But they don't have much time, so they can only cook it from now until tomorrow morning.

Fortunately, there is enough firewood in the inn, so you can cook it by giving the inn some money.

Because it was too cold, everyone still got together to eat hot pot at night. Li Baolu helped everyone boil the bottom ingredients. The guards had a table, Yuan Shanting's subordinates had a table, and Li Baolu and the others had a table. There were only venison, pork, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms and bean sprouts on the table, and there were no other dishes, but everyone still Have fun eating.

Even Chen Yuan, who had always been sullen, looked much better after taking two sips of hot soup.

Both Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian didn't like him. Seeing that Bai Yitang's attitude towards him was average, they only maintained superficial friendliness. After all, they only knew him and were not familiar with him.

But obviously Chen Yuan didn't think so. He felt that he and Bai Yitang were really good friends, so he looked at Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu without hesitation, and asked, "Brother Bai, have you taken in two apprentices?"

"No, Baolu is the only one, and Jing Yun is my son-in-law."

Li Baolu immediately toasted and smiled, "Junior toast to Senior Chen."

Chen Yuan drank the wine in his glass, frowned and said, "I think my niece is still very young, why did she get married? I don't know who my niece and son-in-law studied under."

Bai Yitang said indifferently: "The two of them are a married couple, my son-in-law is not from the Jianghu, he can only do superficial kung fu."

It was only then that Chen Yuan looked at Gu Jingyun seriously, and said hesitantly after a while, "It looks like a scholar."

Bai Yitang laughed loudly and said: "Brother Chen has good eyesight, he is the number one scholar in this discipline, he just got an official position, this time he brought his apprentice and me back home to pay respects to the patriarch."

Chen Yuan was startled, this young man won the first prize at such a young age?

Looking at the respectful appearance of the chief guard, Chen Yuan restrained himself a little, and treated Gu Jingyun more solemnly.

Gu Jingyun noticed that the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he felt a little mocking in his heart. He had already guessed the reason why Chen Yuan caught up this time.

Hearing the lively voices from the lobby, he thought to himself: These Jianghu people are also interesting. Some people rush to court and power, but they want to show disdain; Lively, it is obviously so cold, and dangerous things are also happy to suffer.

"When did Brother Bai return to the Central Plains?"

"I came back after receiving the pardon," Bai Yitang said with a smile, "I just went for a stroll to the north to see the old places and look for the old people."

"Then why didn't you come to Kaifeng sooner?" Chen Yuan said regretfully, "Zheng Jiabao held a banquet, many heroes and heroes went there, I made an appointment with a few friends to make an appointment for you, who knows that you won't come after waiting, They couldn't wait to leave first, and I stayed for a few more days because I was afraid that you would find someone after you came."

Chen Yuan sighed, "Who knows that you are protected when you go in and out, but you can't get close. When you enter the inn to look for you, you will no longer know me."

The wine in Bai Yitang's hand almost spilled out, and he could hardly control the expression on Chen Yuan who shook his head and sighed, he knew that people would change, for example, he became more mature, handsome and attractive, with a wider heart, Not as jealous as before, a little more indifferent.

He believes that with the growth of age and experience, people's personality changes radiatively, so there are bad aspects that breed, and naturally there are good aspects that grow. But he feels that unless he suffers a major blow, people should change in a good direction rather than bad.

In the past, when he and Chen Yuan were both young, Chen Yuan was very jealous, very polite, with a stubborn and pedantic temper.

At that time, he was free and undisciplined, but he was very similar to him in terms of jealousy and hatred, so the two of them played with several friends for three or two months, but it has only been eighteen years.

The serious and stubborn young man back then has become the current down-and-out middle-aged man who is poor at communication, clearly revealing his thoughts, but still thinks that everyone doesn't know.

Bai Yitang drank the wine, feeling rather uncomfortable.

Ling Bi also didn't know what to eat. Before going out, her mistress had repeatedly told her to keep a close eye on her master and not to embarrass him, but now, she was ashamed of her trust in her mistress.

Chen Zhu didn't pay attention to her father, but secretly moved to Li Baolu's side and whispered to her, "You are Chunxi!"

Li Baolu nodded, lowered her voice and said, "Chunxi is my character, and Qinghe is my husband's character."

Chen Zhu felt better, at least they didn't lie to her about their names, she pouted and said, "You are obviously Bai Daxia's apprentice, why didn't you tell me?"

"So many people want to arrest my master, so of course I dare not say it out. If it is leaked, Qinghe and I will become Weng Zhong's turtles?"
