Glory all the way

Chapter 232 Secret
"Luo Niang, tell me, Bai Yi and I...will we be brothers?"

Seeing the starry night sky above his head suddenly covered with a layer of light mist, Du Xuan also seemed to be confused. Holding Bai Yingluo's hand, he asked in a depressed mood.

Bai Yingluo hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice: "If you say no, how can there be such a coincidence in the world? But if you say yes, there is no evidence to prove it, so don't be too impatient, let's wait for now Let's see what Bai Yi's master said. Maybe there will be some clues."

Du Xuan nodded and didn't make another sound, but sighed one after another, which made Bai Yingluo feel the loss in his heart.

Before today, Du Xuan must have thought that he was an orphan, so since he was a child, he had already given up the idea of ​​looking for relatives, but the sudden appearance of Bai Yi made Du Xuan look forward to it again.

Even if he is really an orphan, he still wants to know his life experience and his parents. If possible, how much he wants to ask them in person: why did they abandon me, why didn't they want me?

"I have to go to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow, let's rest early. Don't think too much, huh?"

Holding Du Xuan's arm tightly, Bai Yingluo dragged him towards the inner room.

The next day, Bai Yingluo received a letter from Tuoyang.

Knowing that it was written to Du Xuan, Bai Yingluo didn't open the envelope, but looking at the light letter, Bai Yingluo couldn't help feeling nervous.

Zhao Jing took his brothers from the Escort Bureau and Heizi to the deep mountains to sell medicines. Now, if all goes well, the first batch of medicines should have arrived in Tuoyang.

But what if it doesn't go well?
Bai Yingluo didn't dare to think about it.

1 taels of silver is not much money to Bai Yingluo, but to Du Xuan, it is a huge amount.

Bai Yingluo remembered clearly that every time Du Xuan mentioned Zhao Jing and the others, he used a cautious tone, and the worry in his tone was clearly audible, and every time we finished talking about this matter, Du Xuan must have tossed and turned that night.

Therefore, in the past few months, Bai Yingluo never took the initiative to bring up this matter, even if Du Xuan mentioned it, she also acted disapprovingly, and let him rest assured that Zhao Jing and others would deal with it, and it would be a loss. In other words, it's not a big deal to spend money to buy a lesson, so don't let Du Xuan take it to heart.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, not to mention, doing business is a risky thing, and if there is a profit, there will be a loss."

Bai Yingluo said so.

Du Xuan smiled and stopped mentioning it, but seeing his frown, Bai Yingluo knew that he definitely didn't take it to heart.

That letter lay quietly on the desk, and Bai Yingluo went to read it frequently, her heart was like a pot of water that was about to boil, bubbling and bubbling.

She didn't care about the 1 taels of silver, but she cared about Du Xuan's feelings.

Can wait until the evening, Du Xuan came back.

Xu heard the news of Tuoyang's letter from the housekeeper, Du Xuan's footsteps were hasty, and his face was full of excitement and anticipation.

Bai Yingluo smiled and said angrily: "Then the letter won't grow wings and fly by itself."

Du Xuan smiled embarrassedly, cleaned his hands and went to the study on the right.

It took a cup of tea, but before Du Xuan came out, Bai Yingluo's heart sank, she took the hot tea at hand and walked towards Shaojian.

Seeing that he was not depressed as expected, Bai Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief, and asked casually, "What did Duan Kai say? Brother Zhao and the others have arrived in Tuoyang?"

Nodding his head and shaking his head again, Du Xuan said in a deep voice, "The first batch of medicine was escorted by Heizi and Wenlin with a dozen brothers from the Escort Bureau. Brother Zhao still stayed in the deep mountains of Lingnan, saying that there was a batch The medicine is almost ready, so he was afraid that the best opportunity would be delayed, so he stayed by himself."

"Then, is there anything wrong with the medicine sent to Tuoyang?"

Bai Yingluo asked puzzledly.

Mentioning the batch of medicines, Du Xuan had a smile on his face, "The medicines are all excellent, much better than those bought by Duan Kai's father-in-law's family from the medicine market, and the price is also cheaper, it can be regarded as a good product." The price is cheap. Duan Kai said that his father-in-law promised to help lead the way in the pharmacy and medical center in Tuoyang, as for whether it can be done in the future, it all depends on Duan Kai and Zhao Jing's own abilities."

Then she became happy, Bai Yingluo looked at Du Xuan's face and said: "Then why do I see you not very happy, what's wrong?"

Du Xuan said apologetically: "The weather in South of the Five Ridges is much more humid than the other places. Every year in the twelfth lunar month, it snows heavily every day. I'm afraid that the mountain will be blocked by heavy snow. Brother Zhao and the other brothers will be trapped in the mountain. If they Staying in the mountains, I don’t worry anymore, I’m afraid, he wants to start the drug selling business as soon as possible, regardless of the heavy snow to transport the medicine out of the mountains, what happens on the way.”

Du Xuan's worry was not unreasonable.

They are the last group of people in Bengcheng, if any accident happens, no one will be able to bear it.

Making money is important, but safety is above everything else.

Bai Yingluo pushed the tea bowl in front of him, and comforted her, "People say that there is a priority in hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in art. Brother Zhao has been guarding the darts for so many years, and he must know what happened on the road. Don't you Don’t worry, it’s time to believe in his ability.”

"I also understand these principles, but it's just a little bit of concern."

Du Xuan smiled in relief.

In the evening, when Du Xuan came back, there was a layer of snow on his hair and eyebrows, and he ordered Liusu to come over with a towel. When Bai Yingluo turned her head, she saw Du Xuan looking out the door with a worried expression on her face.

Without pointing it out, Bai Yingluo jokingly said: "Once upon a time there was an old woman who gave birth to two sons. The eldest son sold fans and the younger son sold umbrellas..."

Before Bai Yingluo finished speaking, she received Du Xuan's annoyed and angry eyes, and Bai Yingluo hugged her stomach and laughed.

Du Xuan came over and said to the child in his belly: "Now, I know where you got your naughtiness from."

The husband and wife laughed and laughed, dispelling Du Xuan's worries about Zhao Jing and his party.

When it snowed, it got dark later than usual.

After dinner, there was already a thick layer of snow in the yard, Bai Yingluo yelled to go for a walk in the yard, Du Xuan asked Chen Xiang to serve her thick clothes, and the two went out hand in hand.

After walking around for a while and returning, the two of them had just entered the room and before they took off their thick fur coats, they heard a stone knock on the edge of the window, and Bai Yingluo even heard the sound of the stone falling on the stone steps.

His complexion changed slightly, Du Xuan made a silent gesture to Bai Yingluo, and walked out lightly.

After a while, he entered the room and whispered in Bai Yingluo's ear, "He's here."

After being stunned for a moment, Bai Yingluo realized that he was referring to Bai Yi.

The two of them went out again and entered the east wing room. The room had already been lit with candles, and Bai Yi, who was dressed in night clothes, sat in front of the brazier, and even started a fire with familiarity.

The light of the fire made his face red, which was a little softer than when we first met that day.

"I have nothing to do, so I came to talk to you."

There was a touch of embarrassment that was not easy to be noticed on his face, and Bai Yi explained his reason for coming.

"Welcome, it's an honor."

Not only did Du Xuan not feel abrupt about Bai Yi's uninvited visit, but he was very happy.

Supporting Bai Yingluo to sit down carefully, Du Xuan opened the door and called Suiyuan, asking him to bring his green bamboo tea set.

That set of green bamboo tea set was a gift from Old Master Bai when Du Xuan was inscribed on the gold list and made a solemn proposal in front of Old Master Bai. Du Xuan was never willing to use it.

It can be seen from this that Bai Yi has a lot of weight in his heart, even though the relationship between Bai Yi and him is still uncertain.

Bai Yingluo just glanced at Du Xuan one more time, and Bai Yi realized that the tea set must be of great significance to Du Xuan, but the second time the two met, Du Xuan took it out for his own use, Bai Yi's In my heart, I have the warm feeling from before.

Suddenly, Bai Yi had a vague understanding of the reason why he wanted to come here for no apparent reason.

The best Dahongpao is best for drinking in winter.

The tea soup is orange-yellow and bright, and it is a bit darker against the firelight. The rich and refreshing aroma and sweet and smooth taste make people feel a little more warm in this cold winter night.

It's like a family sitting together for a drink.

Such a feeling suddenly appeared in his heart, Bai Yi was taken aback by his own wild thoughts.

"Luo Niang said, you coughed up a lot of blood that day in the backyard, are you feeling better now?"

After entering the room and lighting the candles, Du Xuan kept looking at Bai Yi's face, seeing whether it looked pale that day, but still showing a morbid whiteness, Du Xuan asked with concern.

Bai Yi was a little uncomfortable with such a straightforward concern.

Startled for a moment, he thanked with a smile: "Please bear this in mind, it's much better now."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

While muttering, Du Xuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know if it's the heat from the brazier pouring in, or the hot tea pouring into his chest and abdomen to add some warmth to his body, Du Xuan's appearance fell in Bai Yi's eyes, and Bai Yi suddenly felt more comfortable than ever before.

Unable to help, he became less guarded against Du Xuan.

"Let me tell you a secret..."

Suddenly becoming naughty, Bai Yi blinked at Du Xuan, "I've been poisoned by two kinds of poison."

What kind of secret is this?Big bad luck, right?

For a moment, not only Du Xuan, but even Bai Yingluo looked incredible.

Bai Yi said with a smile: "One of them was planted on me by Princess Qingcheng, and it has a solution. Every few days, someone will put the antidote in tea for me to drink, so it's not a big problem. She thinks that her clothes are perfect, but she doesn't know that although my master has lived in the mountains for a long time, he is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, and these trivial skills can't be hidden from me."

"What about the other one?"

Du Xuan asked anxiously.

"Another kind..."

A wicked smile appeared on his face, and Bai Yi lowered his voice and said, "Of course I did it myself, but no one knew about it. Everyone in the Princess Mansion thought I had been poisoned, so why are you making such a big move now?" I have visited famous doctors all over the place."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yi winked at Du Xuan and Bai Yingluo slyly, "This is a means I use to protect myself, the world knows what I know, other than that, only you know, don't worry." You're going to betray me."

Bai Yi spoke lightly about the matter of his wealth and life, as if it wasn't a big deal.

Thinking of how many humiliations and hardships he had experienced in the Princess Mansion, Du Xuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
