Qin Gong

Chapter 24 He asked for pen and ink?
Inside Bai's Hall.

"Your name is Yan?"

Bai Yan looked at Shui Yan with doubts on his face.

"Zou's surname, first name Xing, is now changed to Yan!"

Shui Yan replied.

Then he slowly told the story of being chased and killed by his enemies on the way.And in order to survive to Qin, he has changed his name to Yan.

in the lobby.

After listening to Shui Yan's words, the members of the Bai clan understood, no wonder this person is so down and out.

Next comes the questioning.

According to his memory, Bai Yan asked about Zou Shi and some things about fifteen years ago.

During the whole process, Shui Yan only occasionally showed the color of thinking, and answered everything else fluently, and even Bai Yan deliberately said some things that he didn't, but Shui Yan saw through them.

See here.

Bai Yan looked at Bai Zhong, indicating that there was no problem with Shui Yan's identity.

Next to Bai Yan, the two middle-aged men who were also kneeling and sitting also looked at each other at this moment, their brows slightly frowned.

Obviously, the identity of the teenager has been confirmed, which is not a good thing for them.

above the lobby.

When Bai Zhong saw Bai Yan's eyes, he didn't have a good face either.

After all, Bai Yan never told him about this matter.

But at this moment, Bai Zhong also understands that this is not the time to care about those things.

"Master Zou now?"

Looking at the boy, Bai Zhong thought for a while and asked.

Although he was very dissatisfied with this marriage, after all, he had already decided to betroth his granddaughter Bai Junzhu to a famous family in Qin.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction. As an elder, he naturally still has the etiquette he should have.

"Being framed by enemies and imprisoned, deceased!"

Shui Yan looked at the old man and asked, and replied.

In fact, when entering the hall, not to mention that he is not Zou Xing, even if Zou Xing himself is here, he can tell at a glance that the people from the Bai family in front of him do not welcome him very much.

But think about it.

Although he didn't know who the daughter of Bai Yan was, he took a casual glance just now and found that most of the women of the Bai family were beautiful and attractive, and two of the girls were even more stunning.I am afraid that it is rare in Linzi, Qi State.

Plus Bai's identity.

Presumably, the general gentry would not be able to catch the Bai family's eyes at all, and it was said that the Zou family had declined for a hundred years after Zou Ji, and they were not considered a famous family in Qi State.

He looked at those women from the corner of his eye.

This is the second time Shui Yan realized what a gentry is.

Because of his noble status, a man can marry a beautiful woman, and even the most uneven can have a concubine.Therefore, most of his offspring are handsome men and beautiful women.

In addition, the people of the gentry are powerful and do not need the wind and rain, so the women of the gentry are much more expensive than those of the common people.This is a natural advantage, and few women from ordinary families can compare.

No wonder men all over the world want to marry a woman from the noble family.

But this time.

He didn't come to marry a wife, he didn't care how beautiful Bai's woman was, it had nothing to do with him.

"So, isn't the Zou family already in decline?"

"Obviously more than that. Since he was hunted down, it's obvious that the Zou family of Qi State may have already..."

As Shui Yan's voice fell, those members of the Bai clan who were watching the excitement started to shout one after another.He didn't care about Shui Yan in the lobby at all.

Even Bai Zhong, who just asked the question, is also surprised when he hears Shui Yan's words.

On the other side, the two men beside Bai Yan looked at Shui Yan with dissatisfaction.

As it is said.

You, Zou, are the only ones left?
Just like this, if you want identity without identity, and background without background, you still want to marry me, a woman from the Bai family?
"It's the old man who talks too much!"

Bai Zhong shook his head and sighed.

However, Bai Zhong found that the boy did not show a pitiful appearance, he was still neither humble nor overbearing.

This made Bai Zhong very curious, if it was someone else, he would probably have started to cry bitterly by this time.

The boy surprised him a bit.

"It's a tiring journey, why don't you go down and rest first? The house has prepared a room for you."

Bai Zhong thought for a while and said to Shui Yan.

Accompanied by Bai Zhong's words.

Not to mention the two old women beside Bai Zhong, even the three brothers Bai Yan held their breath and looked at Shui Yan with some anxiety.

Because they were afraid that the next moment, the young man would mention the marriage contract.

"Thank you!"

Shui Yan cupped his hands and said.

Until this moment, those members of the Bai family who were worried just now breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the boy's appearance was too sudden, and they didn't have time to figure out how to deal with it.

in the lobby.

Watching the young man leave with his subordinates.

Bai Junzhu, who has always been between his cousins, now looks at his father and mother with beautiful eyes.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yan and Fu Fu felt a little guilty in their eyes.But he gestured to reassure him.

Bai Yan has not spoken yet.

Other voices sounded in the lobby.

"Father, this son is not worthy of my Bai family, nor is he worthy of Jun Zhu!"

"Father, maybe I, the Bai family, can send him a thousand gold and let him leave Qin!"

It was the two men who were kneeling beside Bai Yan who spoke, Bai Uncle and Bai Ji.

Both of them are Bai Yan's half brothers.

Listening to the elder brother and fourth younger brother's words at this moment, Bai Yan regretted it, but also looked at his father Bai Zhong.

"Father, what should we do now?"

Bai Yan asked, and was ready to be reprimanded.In his heart, he would rather be reprimanded by his father than let the eldest daughter Junzhu marry the young boy just now.

However, the expected fury and reprimand did not come.Bai Yan looked at his father with a puzzled expression, as if he was thinking about something.

Bai Junzhu and his younger sister Bai Yingxue had come to their mother Xue's side at some time, and they also looked at their grandfather Bai Zhong.

"You didn't realize that the young man's trip may not be for marriage!"

Before Bai Zhong could speak, the old woman beside Bai Zhong spoke to Bai Yan and the others.

Hearing what his wife said, Bai Zhong couldn't help turning his head.

It was only at this time that Bai Zhong realized that not only he was aware of it, but also his two wives had already noticed the purpose of the young man coming to the Bai family, probably not for marriage.

If he really came here for the marriage, he was afraid that he would have been angry already, or he would have proposed marriage.

"Then why did he come?"

"Isn't it a marriage contract?"

Those younger generations of the Bai clan whispered one after another.

Even the Bai Yan couple, Bai Junzhu, and Bai Yingxue looked at their grandmother with some doubts.

"Master Bai hasn't had any visitors for a long time, I'll go see the servants, how about tidying up the room!"

Under everyone's gaze, the old lady didn't explain anything, but got up and was about to leave.

But when she got up, the old woman looked at Bai Yan, Bai Yan's wife Xue Shi, Bai Junzhu and Bai Yingxue.

"You also go with me!"

in the room.

The servants have prepared buckets.

Shui Yan was not polite either, took a shower and changed into the clothes that Bai Shi had prepared for him.

Then wash the changed clothes at will and hang them in the room to dry.

Although the clothes are very torn, they were bought for him by his elder brother who lives far away in Qi.

Now in the state of Qin, I don't know when will be the next time I see my brother again, so no matter how old the clothes are, Shui Yan doesn't want to throw them away like this.

After drying the laundry.

Shui Yan asked the servants for a piece of cloth and pen and ink.

When he was a child, Shui Yan always thought that brush and ink were the product of his descendants.

It was only after he grew up that he discovered that the craftsmanship, forging, and culture of this era were far beyond his imagination.

Just like the writing brush, it actually existed in the Spring and Autumn Period.At first it was called 'Fan Duo', later it was called 'Fu' when it was introduced into Yan State, and it was called 'Xing' when it was introduced into Chu State.

In Qin State, it is called 'pen'.

"He asked for pen and ink?"

In the corridor, the person who spoke was Bai Yan.

Hearing what the servants said, not to mention Bai Yan, even Xue Shi and Bai Junzhu were puzzled.

After the boy took a shower, he asked for pen and ink?

The old woman beside Mr. Bai Zhu also frowned slightly at this moment.

"Go and see first."

Although she didn't understand, the old lady didn't ask too much and continued to walk towards the guest room.

Seeing this, the three of Bai Yan quickly followed behind.
