Rebirth: How to tease the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 15 Lover

In the early morning of the next day, Duan Yange was invited by friends in the capital to drink in Linjianglou.Although he stays in Tianxuan Mountain all the year round, he will be at home for a month every year, plus he has the ability to talk to people and talk nonsense to the devil.He also made a lot of friends, but Old Master Duan didn't care much about them. As a man, it doesn't hurt to make more friends.

Linjiang Tower is built along the Qujiang River, with excellent scenery and excellent dishes. It has always been the favorite place for dignitaries and dignitaries to gather friends.Duan Yange is also a frequent visitor here.

It's just that Duan Yange didn't expect that when everyone was drinking, he would see Bai Yu again.Bai Yu was standing on the grass beside the Qu River, surrounded by several people, all of them were dressed as scholars, presumably they came here for an outing.

Duan Yange immediately lost the intention to continue drinking, and seeing that he was not interested, those friends no longer insisted on staying, and they dispersed in a hurry. Duan Yange looked downstairs, and there was no sign of Bai Yu.

He got up and flew down from the window. After searching around, he saw Bai Yu in the pavilion in the distance. It turned out that several people were enjoying flowers and composing poems together.Duan Yange didn't understand these romantic literati affairs, so he could only find another place to observe Bai Yu secretly.

Not seen for more than a month, the white feather became more and more clear, presumably because of the rush on the road, but the white clothes were still spotless, making people feel elegant and comfortable at first glance.

After a stick of incense passed, Bai Yu finally turned around and saw Duan Yange, and hurriedly explained a few words to his companion, Bai Yu immediately came to find him.

"Why did you come to the capital?" Duan Yange asked as soon as Bai Yu came over.

Bai Yu smiled: "After my cousin's marriage ended, I received an invitation from a friend who took part in the examination at the same time as me, and now has won the gold list. That's why I came to the capital to attend the appointment."

"It's still a pity, isn't it?"

"Yes." Bai Yu sighed, looked up to the sky, the blue sky is the place where all birds want to fly, and the imperial court is where all the scholars want to make the best use of their talents and realize their ambitions: "After this time, it will be another three years. But how can there be so many three years in life. Now I have reached the crown for more than a year, and my aunt is also inquiring about marriage for me. After three years, I gave up the scientific examination and said indefinite."

Duan Yange's scalp tingled instinctively as soon as he heard the words about marriage, and then he thought of Old Man Duan and Qinghe, the house-filling girl whom he "worked hard" to recruit.

"Brother Duan?" Seeing Duan Yange distracted, Bai Yu reminded him aloud.

Duan Yange came back to his senses, and said to Bai Yu with a bitter face, "Xiao Bai, my father is already forcing me to marry you."

Bai Yu was puzzled, and Duan Yange narrated the matter from the beginning to the end. Of course, there were some embellishments, but Bai Yu still firmly believed.

"It's so simple," Duan Yange thought to himself, of course, he would not have thought that he would be slapped in the face by this sentence countless times in the future.

"So, in order to make my dad calm down, can you do me a favor?"

"What are you busy with?"

"Come home with me," Duan Yange said, "Then pretend to be intimate, but don't be too intimate, just let my father vaguely think that we are together."

Bai Yu opened his eyes wide, looking extremely innocent: "Then why don't you find a girl."

"Looking for a girl?" Duan Yange said helplessly: "Find a girl and my father will immediately find someone to make a living, decorate the house, and wait for me to give him a grandson."

In fact, Duan Yange did not expect that Dajing's folk customs would be so open.In his impression, the status of women in feudal society was extremely low.This phenomenon became more obvious especially after Cheng-Zhu Confucianism became the mainstream of Confucianism.Whether it is a folk girl or a lady of the big family, as long as they are not married, they cannot directly show up.

But the women here can actually go to the streets directly, and the people still allow free love and free marriage in their minds, as long as they don't go out of line.

In line with this is everyone's views on homosexuality. Here, many people think that this is a normal thing and that homosexuality is no different from a relationship between a man and a woman.Therefore, there are many same-sex marriages in Dajing, and the scale of marriages is no worse than heterosexual marriages.

The problem lies in the heirs. If there are several males in a family, it is reasonable for some of them to marry the same sex.But the three generations of the Duan family are single-handed, so no matter what they do, they have to stay behind.If old man Duan knew that he had the heart to break his sleeves, he would probably want him to find a woman to leave his blood before marrying the one he loves.

But doing so would be unfair to both Duan Yange and the woman, and it would be even more cruel to the child she gave birth to.Even though the Duan family can give him fine clothes and good food, they can give him great glory, but after all, they can't make up for the regret that his parents have no feelings.

"I just want to let my father know about it slowly, so as not to hit him too hard for a while."

Seeing that Duan Yange was really pitiful, Bai Yu finally nodded in agreement.The two discussed their arguments together, and Bai Yu bid farewell to several companions, and followed Duan Yange back to the Hou Mansion.

At this time, old man Duan was drinking tea in the gazebo, when he saw his son coming back, he quickly waved him over.

Duan Yange took Bai Yu to the gazebo, and Old Master Duan sized Bai Yu carefully.

Bai Yu smiled lightly and bent slightly: "Junior Bai Yu, I have met Jing Yuanhou."

Duan Yange immediately followed him after he finished speaking: "Father, this is a friend of mine who came to the capital to rush for the exam. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened and the exam was delayed. Now he is stranded in the capital, so I invited him to come to the house."

Old Man Duan nodded, and turned his gaze to Bai Yu: "Good temperament, presumably he must be the one who can be named on the gold list."

Although he knew that Mr. Duan was only superficially admiring, Bai Yu still shook his head with a smile: "Master Hou's ridiculous praise."

Duan Yange said: "Father, I will arrange Bai Yu in my yard."

Duan Laohou frowned: "There are so many guest rooms in the house, and your yard is small, why should you wrong the guests?"

Duan Yange winked at Bai Yu when he heard the words, Bai Yu reacted and said immediately: "The younger generation and Brother Duan have always had a very happy conversation, and there was a feeling of resentment when we met each other. It's a pity that the two of us have been separated for a while, and now we are destined to meet again When we meet each other, we must have a good drink and talk."

Old Master Duan nodded, which was his agreement. After Duan Yange and Bai Yu bid farewell to the old man, they left the pavilion hand in hand, leaving only Old Master Duan suspiciously looking at the direction of their departure, frowning constantly.

Waiting to get out of Duan Laohou's sight, Bai Yu immediately let go of Duan Yange's hand, and Duan Yange just smiled and didn't speak.

Duan Yange's courtyard was not far from the gazebo, and the two soon arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. Bai Yu looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the courtyard gate, which read "Xingge Bieyuan".

Bai Yu looked at the strong and powerful words on it, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Good words!"

Duan Yange patted the jade fan in his hand: "Guess who wrote it?"

Bai Yu tilted his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Duan Yange, with a look of disbelief: "You wrote it?"

Duan Yange didn't answer, "Do you know what Xingge means?"

Bai Yu bowed his head and thought for a while: "The water in the middle of Yan character is removed."

"It's very smart. My mother originally named me Xingge. Later, a gentleman said that I lacked water in the five elements, so I changed 'Xing' to 'Yan'. This word was written by my mother."

This time Bai Yu really opened his eyes wide in shock: "Such a character is actually written by a woman."

"My mother is a beautiful woman, and she is good at everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially books, which were unique in the capital back then." Duan Yange said proudly.

"The meaning of the word feasible song does not seem to be good?"

“How come you see?”

Bai Yu said: "'Every time a song is paid, the listener should not touch the towel'. The song has the meaning of crying while walking. What is good intentions?"

Duan Yange smiled softly: "Mom, she probably wants me to cry when I want to cry, and laugh when I want to laugh, so that I can be happy in the rivers and lakes, and be happy."

The two were still standing at the door discussing the words on the door plaque, but Qing He from the West Pavilion over there came out.After seeing Duan Yange, she bowed profusely, which was regarded as a salute.She couldn't ask Bai Yu's name directly, so she could only bless him.

Bai Yu nodded in return, and then entered the room with Duan Yange.

Duan Yange's bedroom is very large, divided into an inner room and an outer room, and there is a staircase leading upstairs from the outer room.Upstairs are two bedrooms and a tea room. Looking out of the window of the tea room, one can see the most beautiful scenery in the entire Hou Mansion.

I saw waterfalls cascading down from the green hills in the distance, and there are nine curved jade bridges connecting the nearby water, with koi swimming in the water and lotus leaves in fields.

"I didn't expect the scenery here," Bai Yu said with a smile, "Your yard is really full of surprises."

"It will be more beautiful when the moon is in the sky."

"Then we will wait and see." Bai Yu said with a smile.

Duan Yange nodded, and pointed to the bedroom on the side with a folding fan: "You will sleep in that room tonight."

Bai Yu frowned: "The guest room is enough, why go upstairs."

Duan Yange leaned closer to Bai Yu's ear and said softly, "Did you see that woman today?"

Bai Yu nodded: "That's the girl Duan Laohou found for you to fill in the house."

"Correct."

"It really has a good appearance, and it doesn't disgrace the appearance of Duan Xiaohou."

Duan Yange avoided answering, and changed the subject: "My father will definitely make people stare at me. If you live in the attic with me, it will naturally arouse his suspicion. Isn't this our purpose?"

After finishing the good deed, sending the Buddha to the west, Bai Yu nodded in agreement, and then sat in the tea room with Duan Yange to taste the tea and enjoy the scenery, it was leisurely and comfortable.

"You really enjoy such a comfortable life."

Duan Yange shook his fan and smiled casually: "I have money for recreation, why not?"

This is the first time Bai Yu heard Duan Yange speak like this. In the past, he was always humble, polite, kind and amiable. Unlike today's words, if people listen to them, wouldn't they want to say something to show off?But Bai Yu subconsciously felt that Duan Yange was originally like this.

All are disguises, just like myself now.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot of topics to talk about. In the blink of an eye, it was already You hour, and old man Duan sent his servants over to tell them to go to the side hall for dinner.

At the dinner table, Old Master Duan was almost blinded by the wonderful way the two got along.

The author has something to say: Good weekend! (●'?'●) A little angel guessed wrong, Qinghe is not the leader.

Let me know, the next update will be at two o'clock in the morning.

Well, I'm the night owl type.Now I am used to going to bed after two o'clock, and I can't fall asleep if I go to bed earlier.
