Chapter 31 Eldest sister? Isn’t she at mother’s place?
After Shui Yan returned to the guest room, he closed the door and came to the table again.
Just as he was about to sit down and continue writing the bamboo slips, he suddenly discovered that the bamboo slips on the table were in a different position than when he left them.
"Someone has been here!"
Shui Yan frowned. At this moment, he suddenly understood why Bai Yingxue was looking for him.
It turned out that I wanted him to leave the room.
"But to what purpose?"
Shui Yan was still a little confused. If it was Bai's idea, he could have ordered someone to enter the room when he went to see Bai Zhong.
Moreover, the bamboo slips in front of him were clearly in the wrong position at a glance. If Bai Zhong wanted to check his things, he would never let such an "inexperienced" person come.
Bai Zhong probably doesn't know who comes to the room!
Shui Yan got up and went to the package. Sure enough, he saw that the clothes and bamboo slips had been tampered with. After checking, he found that nothing was missing. Even the jade pendant he didn't want to take with him was inside.
"According to Bai's ability, I can get my identity right tomorrow! I will leave Bai's tomorrow."
Shui Yan said in his heart.
Now he is just waiting for his identity to be settled, and then he will leave the Bai family immediately. This feeling of being dependent on others is really uncomfortable sometimes.
No matter what he does, he must take the Bai family into consideration, but the people of the Bai family are unscrupulous.
It looks like nothing is missing.
Shui Yan returned to the table, knelt down, picked up the bamboo slips and carving knife, and started carving again.
When his identity is established tomorrow, he will leave the Bai family, so he must seize the time to write this volume. Then, together with other bamboo slips, let the people from Lu's shop take them to Qi State.
Shui Yan also felt a little lucky in his heart.
Fortunately, he had nothing to force the little Lolita to hand over to his grandmother, so he didn't write any letters home or anything like that. Otherwise, he might have been discovered by someone who entered the house just now.
In the guest room.
Shui Yan was sitting on his knees in front of the table, holding a carving knife and quietly writing a story.
In a corner, behind a curtain with exquisite patterns, Bai Junzhu's face was pale at the moment, and her beautiful eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness, and she was even panting for fear of being discovered.
After she put away the jade pendant just now, she was ready to leave.
But he accidentally saw the bamboo slips on the table, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart that the Zou family only had the blood of a young man. Now that Zou's father is deceased, the young man came to Pingyang, Qin State for the first time, so why did he suddenly write the bamboo slips.
With doubts, she stepped forward to take a look.
And it was just this glance that made her addicted to it.
A few dozen words, although not many, made her understand. The boy seemed to be writing a 'story', a story that people couldn't help but want to read.
She has been familiar with ancient books since she was a child, and she has read about celebrities who have been passed down through the ages. But it seems that she has never seen or heard the story written by the young man in the bamboo slips.
She wondered what celebrity the young man was writing about. When she looked at the package, she had a hunch that the answer might be in the bamboo slips inside the package.
Thinking that there was a young man who would not come back so soon, she finally couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to find out why she had never known about the celebrity the young man was writing about.
What happened after that was not beyond her expectations. The contents in those bamboo slips were not the military books or classics she had read before. They all recorded a story.
Although she couldn't find the first part, the content at the back made her look at it and couldn't help herself.
This was the first time since she was a child that she had seen such stories in the world, although there was no way to teach them, and they were not even remotely profound, and they could be understood by reading.
But it was so simple and unpretentious that she wanted to take a look at it, but as she looked at it, she became fascinated.
When she heard the footsteps outside, she came to her senses and suddenly woke up. She forgot that she was still in the boy's room.
I wanted to leave, but found it was too late!!
In the guest room, as the room remained quiet and Bai Junzhu, who had been tense, quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The young man did not seem to think that anyone was still in the room.
Behind the curtain.
Bai Junzhu raised his head, his beautiful eyes filled with despair at this moment.
Among the Bai family, whether in the eyes of the elders or in the eyes of her cousins, she was well-educated, talented and beautiful, and not only had a good reputation, she was also praised for her knowledge.
There were countless nobles who wanted to marry her.
at the moment.
She couldn't imagine how she would explain why she was here if she was discovered by the boy!
If her elders knew about it, how could she explain it to them?
Even though she was helping the little sister return the property to its original owner, this method was no different from the little sister's "stealing". If this matter spread, she would never be able to see anyone in her life.
Behind the curtain.
I don’t know how long it has been! Bai Junzhu feels a little numb in his little feet.
Hearing that there was no movement outside, Bai Junzhu finally raised her slender hand and carefully opened a small gap in the curtain. On her cold and beautiful face, her beautiful eyes peeked outside.
Looking into the quiet and empty room, Bai Junzhu quickly saw the young man behind the wooden frame, his back to her, sitting on his knees at the table, concentrating on carving bamboo slips.
Then Bai Junzhu secretly looked to the other side. When he saw the door was closed, a look of despair once again appeared in his cold and beautiful eyes.
Inside the Bai family's mansion.
"Eldest sister, eldest sister!"
Bai Yingxue ran all the way to the eldest sister's boudoir. After entering, she found that there was no sign of the eldest sister.
Seeing that there was no one in the eldest sister's room, Bai Yingxue frowned slightly, as if wondering where the eldest sister had gone. She had left with the boy for so long, so the eldest sister had already put away the jade pendant.
Even as expected, the eldest sister might have already left the guest room before she could compete with that person.
"Could it be that my mother has something to do with my eldest sister?"
Bai Yingxue murmured softly. The eldest sister did not inform her just now, and she was not in the room now. The most likely possibility is that her father, mother, or grandfather had something to ask her to leave.
Thinking about it, the eldest sister's engagement with that person was canceled yesterday, probably because of this incident. Her grandfather, father and mother didn't want to delay any longer, and were just as afraid of the man's regrets as she was. So they called the eldest sister over and asked her where she was at the Meng family.
, among the Li family. Which family does the eldest sister like more?
Get engaged to elder sister Rang, the Meng family, and the Li family as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
"That's how it should be!"
Bai Yingxue nodded, thinking that the eldest sister should be where her grandfather was. So she didn't think much, closed the door, turned and walked towards her boudoir.
In Bai Yingxue's boudoir.
As several maids poured water into the large wooden tray, Bai Yingxue also quietly took off her clothes outside the curtain.
As the clothes fell to the ground, a pair of slender white legs walked step by step on the wooden board on the ground.
There was a slight sound of water.
Soon, Bai Yingxue was lying in the wooden basin, with a look of ease on her charming and pretty face.
Bai Yingxue thought of the competition just now, stretched out her thin hand from the water, and looked at the red palm, her pretty face suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
She couldn't figure it out. Her father spent so much money to hire a swordsman for her. Why was she so miserable in front of that young man?
besides
"How dare you despise me!"
In Bai Yingxue's mind, she remembered that when she was in the guest room, she almost pressed against the man's abdomen because she was anxious. Before she could speak, the man actually took two steps back and distanced himself from her.
He looked as if he was afraid of getting too close to her!
When she thought of the young man's appearance in her mind, Bai Yingxue couldn't help but wonder whether he was really as charming as outsiders said, and as beautiful as his eldest sister.
After looking into the water for a long time, Bai Yingxue confirmed that she had not changed.
"Hmph, I want to see what kind of woman you can marry in the future."
With a hint of resentment, Bai Yingxue murmured, it seemed that only by thinking like this could she feel better.
While Bai Yingxue was taking a bath, the maid who had been waiting outside suddenly walked in with small steps.
"Miss! Mrs. Xue asked her servant to come and ask, where has the eldest lady gone?"
The maid came outside the curtain next to the wooden plate and whispered to Bai Yingxue.
"Eldest sister? Isn't eldest sister at my mother's place?"
Bai Yingxue blinked when she heard this, her beautiful eyes full of doubts.
