Chapter Twenty-One: The Book Pavilion

  "Be careful, Father." The young man got off the vehicle first and then went to help the older one.

  It turned out to be a father and son.

  Zhang Nai Chun was momentarily curious and took a closer look at the two of them.

  Both of them were dressed in plain clothes, not like they came from a wealthy family, but their behavior was very polite. When the young man helped his father pass by Zhang Nai Chun's side, his eyes inadvertently swept across Zhang Nai Chun's face. Zhang Nai Chun only felt that there was a layer of radiance on the young man's face, spreading a fragrance that was not orchid or musk, and when he saw the young man again, he was truly a rare beauty in the world, with jade as his bones, the moon as his soul, flowers as his emotions, and pearl-like luster as his spirit.

  Zhang Nai Chun was shocked and stared blankly. The young man's gaze, however, did not linger on Zhang Nai Chun's face, but instead focused intently on his father's teachings, only listening to him say: "Lu Ming, you are the only hope of the Wen family now, when you meet Old Man Bai, you must be respectful and courteous, follow the rules...".

  The young man listened attentively, nodding constantly, with a gentle and obedient appearance.

  "Lu Ming..." Chapter 4 was savoring these two words, originally this young man's name was Lu Ming, his father said he was the only hope of the Wen family, so this young man's full name should be Wen Lu Ming.

  "Master, let's go." Si'er reminded him from the side.

  Zhang Nai Chun thought, anyway, Bai Yu Shu had agreed to let him come again another day, so he wasn't worried about not running into that young man called Lu Ming, or the elegant and refined Miss Bai. He followed Si Er onto their own carriage and left.

  The current White House is the old mansion left over from the ancestors, covering an area of more than 20 mu, which is not a wealthy household in Luoxian County, but a library has raised the reputation of the White family.

  To the east of Baifu is Bao Fang Garden, where the Bai family lives their daily life. Bai Yushu and his wife live in Lan Ting, behind which is a large garden, followed by Bai Yunnuan's Ting Yu Xuan and Bai Zhenxuan's Mei Xiang Wa, and then the family members' residence Jing Yi Zhai.

  Bao Fang Garden used to be Shu Xiang Tang, and to the west is Zhi Lan Guan. The library is located inside Zhi Lan Guan.

  The Bai family's library building is a two-story wooden structure with a hard mountain-style roof, the first floor has six bays wide and deep, with corridors in front and back. The second floor, except for the staircase room, is one large open space, separated by bookshelves.

  A large pool was dug in front of the building, connected to the Luohu Lake outside the city, which can beautify the environment and store water for fire prevention.

  The ancestors of the Bai family, Bai Guangming, named the library and the pool in front of it Qiangjin Pavilion and Qiangjin Pool respectively, based on the principle of generating and controlling each other.

  Bai Yun warmed up and bid farewell to her parents and brother, returning to Ting Yu Xuan.

  From afar, I see Yuemu kneeling on the corridor.

  Xin Yan's eyebrows twisted into a big knot, she stole a glance at Bai Yunnuo's expression, Bai Yunnuo glanced at her and said: "You go and persuade her to leave, don't let her appear in front of me again. Out of sight, out of mind." As he spoke, he didn't even look at Yu Mo and went back to his own room.

  Green Lotus and Red Jade, two little maidservants, hurried up to attend to her.

  White Cloud gently helped them take off their cloak and clothes while asking: "What are you two doing here?"

  Green Lotus replied: "True Niang told us to come and serve Miss, saying it was Madame's intention."

  Hong Yu also smiled and said: "From now on, we will follow Miss's side, listen to Miss's instructions carefully. Is Miss hungry? Hong Yu will go get some snacks for you."

  Bai Yun waved her hand and said, "Go get a set of clean clothes from the closet for me to change into. I'm going to Zhi Lan Hall."

  Hongyu and Green Lotus went to the cabinet

  The Legend of Da Ming: The Fool's Journey - Biquge

  Zi Li picked out some clothes, but after picking a few, Bai Yunnuo looked at them and said, "Go call in your sister Xin'er."

  "Yes." Hong Yu and Lu Luo hurriedly went outside the house to look for Xin Yan.

  Bai Yunnu watched the silhouettes of Green Luo and Red Jade, secretly regretful. These two had been servants in the Lan courtyard for a while, but after all, they were still young, not even ten years old, and were not very satisfactory to order around. Or perhaps it was just that she had grown accustomed to relying on Xin Yu. In her past life, whether it was the few years spent in the Bai household or the five years spent in the Zhang household afterwards, she had become completely inseparable from Xin Yu, which is why after Zhang Siying and Yu Mo killed Xin Yu, her illness suddenly worsened like a raging beast.

  Xin Yan arrived quickly, although there were tear stains at the bottom of her eyes, but she soon helped Bai Yunnuo match a set of clothes. She wore a snow-white jacket with a cyan gold ring and a green jade belt, and on her feet was a pair of red agate boots made of sheepskin, with a large red fox fur cloak outside.

  Bai Yunnuo deliberately ignored the tears at the bottom of her eyes and said, "You accompany me to Zhi Lan Hall." As she spoke, she had already walked out.

  Xin Yan wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and quickly followed him.

  White clouds warm and sunny, the snow has melted, so I took off my snow hat, left the listening rain pavilion, walked through the corridor connecting Baofang Garden and Zhilan Hall, and soon arrived at Zhilan Hall.

  Only a six-bay, two-story library stood tall, with the three gilt characters "Qiang Jin Ge" on the plaque. Next to Qiang Jin Ge, Qiang Jin Chi surrounded by water, artificial hills piled up, pavilions and bridges built, bamboo and trees planted around, what a beautiful and elegant garden.

  White clouds warm the feet by the side of the strong golden pool, looking up at the hidden book building that emits a broken and defeated aura. The wood has been washed for hundreds of years, revealing lines like those on the face of an old man on the verge of death, which is quite startling.

  "Miss, you want to go up to the book loft again?" Xīn Yuè asked cautiously from beside her.

  Bai Yun warmly tilted his head and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

  "Miss, outsiders and women are not allowed to enter the Qiang Jin Pavilion, this is the White family's ancestral teachings. Miss, you won't be trying to challenge Master's bottom line again, will you? Don't be naughty, or you'll suffer physical punishment again."

  After being reminded by Jing Xin, Bai Yunnuo's memories of the past twelve years also flashed back quickly. In this life, she relied on her mother's love and doting to be very arrogant and unruly. Every time she saw her brother following their father to ascend to Qiang Jin Ge, she was very resentful. After several attempts to apply for ascent were rejected, she wanted to sneak up, but was caught by Bai Yushu and beaten with a few slaps.

  Xin Yan thought of those times he got beaten, still having a lingering fear, hastily opening his innocent eyes to stare at Bai Yun Nuan, pleading: "Miss, let's not do it anymore."

  White clouds warm and dimly smile, the current self's thirteen-year-old body wrapped in is actually the previous life's vicissitudes of life and silently endured soul, how could it still do such a thing that deserves to be ridiculed?

  Bai Yun's eyes gazed quietly at the strong Golden Pavilion in front of her, with infinite thoughts surging in her heart.

  Qiang Jin Ge, Qiang Jin Ge! Not only are outsiders not allowed to enter the building, but even women with the surname Bai cannot set foot in this tower. Do you know that your father sacrificed my happiness for a lifetime for you in our past life? The male chauvinism is really too cruel.

  White clouds warm the melancholy and sorrowful mood, with a hint of tears in her eyes. Qin Ai came to report: "Miss, Master wants you to go to Shu Xiang Tang for a visit."

  "What's up? Anything going on at Shuxiang Hall?"

  "Mr. Wen has returned after spending the Spring Festival holiday, and this time he is accompanied by his son."

  The deer cries! In the warm white clouds of his mind, a flash of inspiration suddenly brought out that name.
