General's Good Friday

Chapter 30

It's better to face him.

Why did he suddenly become obsessed with sex, such a frivolous young man is not counted, but he even said something stupid like "tomorrow's consummation"!

The general felt remorseful, but he put on his official uniform under the service of Xiaobai expressionlessly, and was about to lift his feet to go out, but was suddenly stopped by Xiaobai.

"What's the matter?" The general looked serious, trying to make his voice sound normal, so as not to reveal the tension in his heart.

"Well, Mr. Baili won't come to class today..." Xiaobai blushed and didn't have the nerve to look at him, and whispered with his hands behind his back, "I...I want to take Xiaozhu home to see my sister today, is that okay?"

Unexpectedly, what he mentioned was such an irrelevant matter, the general breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay," the general said, "Let Uncle Chen send some servants to take you there, be careful on the way."

"Oh, oh," Xiaobai pursed his lips and nodded, "Thank you General."

"Ahem, what's the matter..." The general felt a little uncomfortable, "You can handle this kind of thing by yourself, you...you didn't come here to work, if you want to go home, just go directly. You don’t need to tell me about this kind of thing in the future.”

"En." Xiaobai looked happy, raised his head, and looked at the general with bright eyes.

The general had a ghost in his heart and didn't dare to look him in the eyes. After coughing twice, he said "I...I'm going to court" and went out.

However, after the general left, Xiaobai took Xiaozhu, followed by several servants, out of the general's mansion, and went to the current residence of the elder sister Xiaolan.

Because her sister's home is cramped, Xiaobai asked his followers to stay outside. When he and Xiaozhu went into her sister's house, Xiaolan happened to be cooking in the kitchen and was too busy to take care of her. Her one-year-old son Bao Shengzui Sitting on the wooden bed and playing alone.

Seeing her younger siblings coming home, Xiaolan was overjoyed, she put down her work and came out to greet her relatives, seeing Xiaobai dressed neatly, Xiaozhu's face rosy and healthy, she was even happier in her heart.

As soon as Xiaozhu saw Baosheng, he went over to hold him and sat down, then took out the monthly money saved by himself and Xiaobai from his bosom and stuffed it into his bosom.

Xiaolan hurriedly stopped her: "What is this doing? Xiaobai was like this last time. You are in the general's mansion. After all, you should have some money with you for emergencies. You can save these monthly money by yourself. My sister is here too." Nothing is missing."

Xiaobai said: "We have food and clothing in the general's mansion, and we have nothing to spend..."

Xiaozhu also chimed in: "That's right, it's useless for us to hold money, and it's inconvenient. Sister, you don't know, the general treats us very well, he doesn't need me to work, and he even asks the doctor to buy medicine for me, you see Am I better?"

Speaking of the general, Xiaolan was full of gratitude: "The general is a good man, and his kindness to our family is as great as a mountain. Xiaobai, you must serve the general well in the general's mansion, so that you can repay the general's great kindness!"

"Ah," Xiaobai was taken aback, then subconsciously glanced at Xiaozhu, and said with a guilty conscience, "I...I know, definitely, definitely..."

Xiao Zhu pursed his mouth and did not speak, but smiled until his eyes narrowed into a line.

Xiaobai sat in the room for a while, his eyes rolled around and began to think about something, Xiaolan finished talking with his younger siblings, wiped his hands and was about to cook, Xiaobai stood up.

"I... I'm going to the street to do some shopping, that... Xiaozhu, you sit at home for a while, I'll be back later."

Xiaolan said: "It's time for dinner, where are you going?"

Xiaobai hesitated for a moment: "I...I'm going to buy something for the general..."

"So it's for the general, so go quickly, my sister will save food for you." Xiaolan smiled and waved her hand.

"Ah, ah, good." Xiaobai nodded repeatedly, turned around and went out, sticking out his tongue.

When he got outside the house and saw the attendants guarding the door, Xiaobai said hello, said he was going to do some shopping, and brought the two of them to the street.

Xiaobai was followed closely by two followers behind him, feeling a little guilty, walked to the door of a bookstore, turned around with a smile and said to them: "I want to buy some books...well, please wait at the door, OK?"

"Yes, ma'am." Naturally, the two young men could not resist.

Xiaobai laughed along with him, and went in silently.

Xiaobai used to come to this bookstore often, and when he could save some spare money, he would come to buy a few male-style novels or picture books, and secretly read them away from his family when he returned home.

Because of his handsome appearance and frequent visits, the old storekeepers of the bookstore know him. Sometimes Xiaobai is shy and blushes and reads books in the bookstore, but he doesn't say anything. Now when he sees him coming, he just smiles Said: "Hey, isn't this Brother Bai? I haven't seen you for a long time, what have you been doing?"

Xiaobai had something hidden in his heart, so he smiled embarrassedly: "That...something at home..."

The old shopkeeper showed a clear expression on his face: "Hey, look at you... Not to mention, a new batch of engraved editions just arrived yesterday, you must like it! Come, let me find it for you!"

"Hey, shopkeeper," Xiaobai hurriedly stopped him, "Well, I don't want those..."

"Huh?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised.

Xiaobai blushed, looked around, leaned over and muttered, "I...I want the one with... the color..."

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly, pointing at him and laughing repeatedly: "Oh! I was negligent, Brother Bai is also missing a man now! Haha..."

Seeing his blunt words, Xiaobai was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly looked around, but seeing no one was paying attention, he frowned and said urgently: "You...don't say it out loud!"

"Okay, okay, I know, I know," the shopkeeper nodded with a smile, "There is this too!"

Xiaobai blushed and turned around: "Then...then please go and look for it."

The shopkeeper smiled and was going to look for the book, but suddenly thought of something, and turned back to ask: "Then... do you want to brush the edge, or do you want the whole set?"

It took Xiaobai a while to realize what he meant, his face was flushed red.

"I want...the whole set..."

51

"Here, here, the new engraved editions are here."

The old shopkeeper laid out a stack of books one by one on the table behind the screen, and laughed.

"These here are all in a full set of colors... Let's see which ones you like."

Xiaobai blushed, and lowered his head to flip through the books whose covers looked plain and serious.

The old shopkeeper smiled from the side: "Oh, this book is very popular, this is the fourth book, tsk tsk, it is full of pictures and texts, look, many young masters who are not good at it like to read it what about this!"

Xiaobai had just turned a few pages, and saw that the first few pages were very explicit, not as many foreshadowing statements as he saw in the past, so he closed it very embarrassed, and muttered: "This... ...This is too...why...how come there are several people in one place..."

"Hey," the old shopkeeper said with a smile, "that's the brilliance of it. It's called, it has a complete range of categories! There's everything you want to see here. I heard it's very detailed, alas. , I dare not look at the shopkeeper!"

Xiaobai originally thought this book was too explicit and was about to put it down, but when the shopkeeper said it was "very detailed", he hesitated and put it back into his arms.

Seeing the old shopkeeper, he smiled all over his face and squeezed the creases tighter.

"Brother Bai, if you read this book and think you like it, we still have spare parts for the first three volumes. Hehe, I'll buy it again when the time comes..."

"Well, I... let me see again..."

Xiaobai tried his best to ignore the shopkeeper's blushing gaze, lowered his head and picked out a few more "detailed" books, and asked the old shopkeeper to take them, wrap them tightly in paper, hold them in his arms, pay money.

When he turned around and was about to go out, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Xiaobai widened his eyes.

"Bai... Mr. Baili?!"

As soon as Mr. Baili entered the bookstore, he heard Xiaobai's surprised voice, followed the sound and looked over, Xiaobai was dressed in common clothes, holding a big paper bag in his arms, looking at him with a red face.

He smiled: "Husband...hehe, Mr. Ruan, why are you here?"

Xiaobai blushed and walked forward: "I...I brought Xiaozhu to visit my sister, so I stopped by to buy some... some books."

Mr. Baili looked at the big paper bag that was tightly wrapped, and said with a smile: "Oh? Just let the servants buy some books, and you have to work for Mr. Ruan to buy them yourself?"

Xiaobai sneered: "Hehe...hehe, it's just on the way, hehe..."

The two walked to the door, Xiaobai asked: "Sir, what are you here for?"

Mr. Baili said: "I have nothing to do today. I originally wanted to go to the teahouse and pass by the bookstore. I just wanted to take a look around. I didn't expect to meet you."

Xiaobai was about to ask Mr. Baili for some advice, secretly calculated the money left on his body, and said with a smile: "Then why don't I invite Mr. Baili to have a cup of tea?"

"Hey, I should be the one who invited you." Mr. Baili said.

"How can there be a reason why Mr. invites students?" Xiaobai hurriedly said, "I call it 'respecting teachers'."

Mr. Baili laughed: "Then should I say 'disrespectful'?"

The two of them "hehe" all the way to the door of the teahouse, Xiaobai sent an entourage home to tell Xiaolan that there is no need to save food for herself, and went upstairs with Mr. Baili to the teahouse, where they sat on the small table in the corner sat down.

A group of people in the tea house are surrounding a middle-aged scribe in the middle, listening to him talk about recent experiences.

The beginning of spring next year will be Chunwei. Many scholars who are waiting for the exam have gathered in Jianyang City. They all like to come to the tea house, drink tea, or recite poems to be arty.
