Chapter 615 ·Nanjing

"No wonder the old saying often says that the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. What good children can this unfair mother raise? A girl's family shows up in public and likes to show her so much that she should go to the stage to be an actor? If she is lucky, she may be kept by someone. At that time, she will be a concubine, and she will have food and drink. Isn't it much better than recognizing her relatives everywhere?"

...

Whenever Bai Rongxuan thinks of these words, she can think of Bai Linglong's beautiful, delicate but particularly mean face. The eyes in her eyes are so disdainful and contemptuous, as if she is standing in the clouds and looking at the mud bugs under her feet.

Bai Rongxuan became more and more excited as she thought about it, and her voice became louder and louder without being controlled. "Who likes to be evaluated by others? If someone slandered you like this in the dark, would you like to listen?"

Tang Xueru looked at her in surprise, "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, don't be angry now. I'm not talking about it, why are you doing so excited?"

Excited?

Bai Rongxuan came to her senses and looked at Tang Xueru apologetically.

Tang Xueru looked at her curiously, "Are you okay? Why do I always think you are a little weird recently? Are you sick? Should you ask the doctor to take a look?"

Bai Rongxuan shook her head quickly and said embarrassedly, "It's nothing...I just...I just...I don't like to listen to you talking about others with such words behind your back. This is not a good thing, you don't want to do it in the future."

Tang Xueru nodded, "I understand, I promise you."

Bai Rongxuan nodded and forced herself to drive Bai Linglong's beautiful and charming face out of her mind.

Tang Xueru didn't want to continue this topic, but instead asked casually, "After so many days, my brother and Wu Jie should have arrived in Nanjing, right?"

Water is faster than land, and there are not so many checkpoints. Since taking office, Zeng Shaoquan has encouraged the launch of a domestic demand economy and promoted the trading of trade between the north and the south, hoping to use this to accelerate the circulation of currency and create a prosperous scene.

Bai Rongxuan said, "If it goes well, it should be here."

She looked at the lush forest outside the car window, but her thoughts had already flown to Nanjing, looking forward to her brother's safety with great anxiety and anxiety.

Tang Xuehuan and Wu Jie, who were worried by the family, arrived in Nanjing yesterday afternoon. The boat was docked steadily, and the boatman began to carry goods. Many Nanjing merchants came to the dock to receive goods. They were very noisy and lively for a while. The two politely thanked the merchants and boatmen. The two young people along the way not only did not cause trouble, but also helped a lot. Especially the one named Wu Jie, who was quick-witted and very good at speaking and doing things. In just one day, they called the crew on the boat and got along very happily. Several people even discussed which restaurant to go to for dinner after returning to Hangzhou, and they almost wanted to be brothers.

Even the old shopkeeper who was a peer to Tang Songzhou was very satisfied with these two young people. He was low-key and restrained, and had a steady attitude. He had a very sweet mouth. He always picked people to like it, the atmosphere on the boat was very good.

Tang Xuexi asked about the time of the return journey and the location where the boat landed, and then bowed and said goodbye to everyone. When the two got ashore, the first thing they did was to go to Nanjing University to find Bai Xiuzhi.

The two of them inquired all the way and walked towards Nanjing University.

This is the first time in Wu Jie's life that he has come to such a faraway place, and the Nanjing City in front of him is much more spacious and lively than Hangzhou City. There are many shops facing the street, and the buzzers in front of the door are shouting. Small vendors doing business on the road can be seen everywhere, and there are all kinds of business, which makes people dazzled.

Moreover, the guests on the road dressed more generously than Hangzhou, most of them were idle people wearing silk gowns, jackets, small hats, and bird cages in their hands.

There are also waterways in Nanjing. Although the river is not wide, it is just enough for two small boats to row side by side. Occasionally, a melodious sound of pipa came from the tent, in conjunction with the soft tune of Wu Nong. Although Wu Jie couldn't understand the lyrics, his heart seemed to be moved away by the gentle singing.

He felt curious about everything he saw, and felt fresh everywhere he saw, and he couldn't help but slow down.

It was the first time Tang Xuehua went out alone. Whenever he came out with his father to do business, he always followed his father with his eyebrows down and walked forward quickly. He had no chance to look around the scenery, for fear of being disliked by his father. Now that he had no one to care about him, he stretched his neck and watched. The two young men walked along the way. The road that was not long had been completed, but it took twice as long.

Tang Xuehua muttered to Wu Jie in a low voice, "What do you think the people on the boat are singing? It's Yingying, I don't sound like a serious song."

Wu Jie said, "I don't understand either. I just think that tone is very captivating. After hearing a few words, I feel that my steps have become heavy and I don't want to move forward any more."

Tang Xuexi nodded and said alertly, "Then we should not listen, so as not to be plotted against others. When I was a child, I heard from my father that there were bad people who set traps for outsiders. Once they fell into the trap, they would not have the chance to resist. Maybe these people who sang music on the boat were accomplices, so let's go to Nanjing University to find Brother Zhi."

The two finally speeded up and arrived at the main entrance of Nanjing University before dark.

Many young people of similar age came in and out, and they hid by the door and kept looking at them, trying to find Bai Xiuzhi's figure from these people.

After a moment, Wu Jie, who reacted, said, "When do you have to find this? If Young Master Zhi doesn't come out, it will be useless even if we wait for a lifetime."

Tang Xuexi said, "You make sense, what do you think we should do?"

Although he is the eldest son of the Tang family, he has no social experience, especially when he first came to a strange place, he was even more cautious and cautious. He did not dare to let go of his hands and feet when he was at the door of his house. He didn't dare to speak too loudly at this moment, and deliberately lowered his voice, which seemed very uneasy.

However, Wu Jie was used to making trouble since childhood. Although he had never seen big scenes, he was brave. No matter what difficulties and obstacles he faced, the first thing he thought of was how to solve them instead of escape. This was also one of the reasons why he could not afford to eat in a cowshed and faced heavy work and beatings every day in those years in the countryside.

Wu Jie thought about it and finally plucked up the courage to call a young man passing by. The man with gentle glasses was born in a white and simple manner, looking easy to talk.

Wu Jie asked him about Bai Xiuzhi.

Unexpectedly, this person happened to know Bai Xiuzhi. He looked Wu Jie and Tang Xueqi up and down, "Who are you?"

Tang Xuehua and Wu Jie were on the boat for so many days and inevitably looked a little embarrassed and haggard. Wu Jie quickly explained, "We are from his home in Hangzhou, so we came to visit him."

"That's it..." the young man nodded and hesitated for a while before saying, "I'll go in and say something for you, but I don't know if he is on campus or not. He has never shown up recently, and I haven't seen him for many days."

Wu Jie thanked repeatedly, and the young man politely returned the courtesy, and then he slowly entered the school.

After a long time, I still couldn't see Bai Xiuzhi.

Tang Xuehua and Wu Jie discussed in a low voice, "Can that person be a liar? He didn't deliver a letter to us at all?"

"Wait for a while, if Young Master Zhi still doesn't come out, we'll ask someone else." As soon as Wu Jie finished speaking, a figure walked out of the school gate.
