Bai Yitang squinted at Chen Yuan, looked at him for a long time before clasping his fists and smiling: "So it's Brother Chen, you've changed a lot since I haven't seen you in 18 years, if you didn't speak, maybe I wouldn't recognize you, ha. Haha..." He smiled and looked at the two little girls behind Chen Yuan, and said with a smile: "The children have grown up, and we have become old bark."

  Chen Yuan's expression softened a little, looked at Bai Yitang with a complex face, and said, "I thought Brother Bai would forget his old friends after he became rich."

   Even Bai Yitang, who had decided not to care about him, couldn't help but get slightly angry when he heard the words, and looked at Chen Yuan, who was somewhat resentful.

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

  Chen Yuan looked at Bai Yitang with some embarrassment.

  Bai Yitang smiled but did not say a word, just looked at Li Baolu tolerantly.

Gu Jingyun was even more ruthless and asked directly: "Chen Daxia seems to have been following behind the motorcade. Since I'm a good friend with my master, why don't you come up to meet? My wife hunted a deer at noon today. If Chen Daxia comes, he can drink venison with his master. Have fun. Could it be that Chen Daxia is in the middle of his heart, so he refuses to come up to my master?"

  Chen Yuan glared at Bai Yitang angrily, "If Brother Bai doesn't welcome me, just say it straight, why should the apprentice make fun of me?"

  Bai Yitang explained lightly: "Brother Chen is over-hearted. The two children are both young and like to break the casserole and ask to the end, please forgive me."

  Chen Yuan's face turned blue, he opened his mouth, and when he saw the coldness in Bai Yi's eyes, he closed his mouth.

   Bai Yitang smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet old friends in a foreign country. It just so happens that my disciples have a lot of venison left at noon. Brother Chen, why don't you come and have a drink with us in the evening?"

   Chen Yuan nodded solemnly, "Brother Bai invites you, don't dare to refuse."

  Li Baolu pouted, looking up at Chen Zhu behind Chen Yuan.

  Chen Zhu was staring at her, obviously recognizing her.

   Every time she meets Ling Bi, Li Baolu is either wearing makeup or wearing a hat, so she can't recognize her, but Chen Zhu is different, Chen Zhu has seen her true face.

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

  Gu Jingyun helplessly took her hand and dragged her to the backyard. They set the house in the backyard.

   "Master, since you don't like him, why are you talking to him in a soft voice?" Li Baolu was quite angry with her master.

"Because I want to sell the military book to him," Bai Yitang laughed and said, "Although Chen Yuan is pedantic, his father and his wife are good businessmen, and the family has a lot of money. Since they don't like him, then Coax him to spend a lot of money to buy a set of military books and give it back."

Bai Yitang was a little sad when he said this, "I was thinking about taking advantage of the emperor at the time, and I printed a lot of books. I thought that everyone would like this book of war so much, and there would be a lot of people rushing to buy it. Who knows that these two days are sneaking here. There are only a few people looking for me, and they think my price is too high..."

Bai Yitang hummed: "They don't even see what military book this is. This is the military book that the Zhang family has slowly collected over hundreds of years. Many of them are still handwritten by the ancestors of the Zhang family. Money is hard to buy. It's just that if you want tens of thousands of taels from them, they will cry their parents and call their mothers poor..."

Li Baolu slammed, and only then did she know the price of this set of books. She slammed her mouth and said with a thumbs up: "Master, you are cruel, you need tens of thousands of taels for a set of books. Excusable, but didn't you print a lot?"

  Things are rare and precious. If there are only one or a few sets of this book, it will naturally be precious. You can hear Bai Yitang's meaning. He asked the Royal Bookstore to print a lot of people, so how can they charge such a high price?

  Bai Yitang said confidently: "Yes, it is printed a lot, but they don't know about it, right?"

   No matter who it is, whoever comes to ask him about news, he always reveals 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 have to sell for tens of thousands of taels. As long as the price is right and the other party's character is not too bad, most of them will sell it.

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

  Li Baolu opened the box, her eyes widened slightly, and inside was a pure white suet jade Ruyi. She touched and touched it fondly, and asked with saliva, "Master, where did this come from?"

   "Zhengjiabao's two filial sons were exchanged for military books, and I gave the rest to others. This jade Ruyi is so beautiful, I guess you will like it, so I will stay and play with you for a few days."

   "How many days are days?"

   "When you get to Chengdu, give it to someone to use it," Bai Yitang looked at Ruyi and said, "Don't break it, it's worth a lot of money."

  Li Baolu calculated his own money, it was impossible to buy this jade Ruyi, it seemed that he could only drool for a few days.

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

   She likes jade, especially suet white and green.

"Put it away, I'll go to the kitchen with you, we've been on our way for a day, cut some deer bones and make soup to ward off the cold." Bai Yitang looked at the sky outside and said, "I'm afraid it will snow in two days. Deer bones and venison are boiled into a soup base, and it is also a good way to make soup to ward off the cold on the road.”

  Li Baolu put the things away.

  The time required to boil the soup base is not short. Generally, the soup base needs to be boiled for two or three days to be good, but they do not have much time, so they can only boil it from now to tomorrow morning.

   Fortunately, the inn is full of firewood, and 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 to boil the base. The guards had a table, Yuan Shanting’s subordinates had a table, Li Baolu and others had a table. There was only meat and venison, pork and cabbage, mushrooms and bean sprouts on the table. The rest of the dishes were empty, but everyone still Have fun.

   Even Chen Yuan, who had always been calm, looked much better after drinking two sips of the hot soup.

   Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian didn't like him either. Seeing that Bai Yitang had an average attitude towards him, they only maintained a friendly face. 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 accepted two apprentices?"

   "No, there is only one Baolu, and Jingyun is my apprentice and son-in-law."

  Li Baolu immediately raised her glass and smiled, "Junior respects Senior Chen."

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

  Bai Yitang said indifferently: "The two of them are married in Xiaoding, and my son-in-law is not from the rivers and lakes, and only has some superficial skills."

   Chen Yuan looked at Gu Jingyun seriously, and then hesitantly said: "It looks like a scholar."

  Bai Yitang laughed loudly and said, "Brother Chen has a good vision. He is the number one scholar in the current division. He has just taken up an official position. This time, he brought his disciples back with me to pay homage to the ancestors."

   Chen Yuan was taken aback, this young man was the champion at such a young age?

   Looking at the respectful appearance of the captain of the guard, Chen Yuan restrained himself a little, and was more solemn to Gu Jingyun.

   Gu Jingyun noticed that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he was a little sneered in his heart. He had already guessed the reason why Chen Yuan had caught up this time.

He listened to the lively voices coming from the lobby, and secretly said: These people from the rivers and lakes are also interesting. Some people are eager to court and power, but they want to make a dismissive attitude; some people are really dismissive, but they like to rush Lively, obviously it is so cold and bitter, and dangerous things are also happy to suffer the whole sin.

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

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

"Then why didn't you come to Kaifeng earlier?" Chen Yuan regretted: "Zhengjiabao is hosting a banquet, so many heroes and heroes have come, I and a few friends have made an appointment to open your eyes for you, who knows that you will not come when you are waiting for you. They couldn't wait to leave first, so I stayed for a few more days because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to 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 find you, you don't know me anymore."

The wine in Bai Yitang's hand almost spilled out. Looking at Chen Yuan, who shook his head and sighed, he almost couldn't control the expression on his face. He knew that people could change. Not as jealous as before, but a little more indifferent.

   He felt that with the growth of age and experience, people's personality changes in a radiative manner, so there are bad aspects to breed, and naturally there are also good aspects to grow. But he felt that unless he suffered a major blow, people should change in the direction of good and superfluous bad.

   In the past, when he and Chen Yuan roamed the world, they were both young. At that time, Chen Yuan was jealous of evil, very disciplined, and had a little stubborn to pedantic temper.

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

   The serious-faced, stubborn young man in those days has become the poor middle-aged man who is now a poor man, who clearly revealed his thoughts and thought that no one knew about it.

  Bai Yitang was drinking wine, feeling a little uncomfortable.

  Ling Bi also didn't know what to eat. Before going out, the mistress repeatedly asked her to keep a close eye on the master and not let him be ashamed, but now, she is ashamed of the trust of the mistress.

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

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

  Chen Zhu felt better. At least they didn't even lie to her with her name. 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, of course I dare not say it. If it leaks, Qinghe and I will not become Wengzhong's turtles?"
