Chapter 125 Arriving in Yangcheng
Bai Song did not ride in the same car with Bai Xunnanchun.
"Young Master, is this really suitable for you?" Meng Wu said in embarrassment.
"You... I told you guys to fix the car a long time ago. If it doesn't work, just sell it and buy a new one. I've already given you the money, right? How dare you bastards try to disobey me?" Bai Song was furious as he looked at the car in front of him with air leaks on all sides and seven holes in the seats.
"Master, it's not that I don't want to change it! That bastard Wen Shisan from the car dealership found a bunch of excuses, saying that everything is in turmoil, that transportation costs have increased, and that the scarce goods are hard to get... He just raised the price by 30%. How can I bear this loss? I was just about to drive it to the repair shop, but you asked us to come to Jincheng." Meng Wu explained with a wry smile.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Seeing that Bai Song didn't get in the car, Nanchun stuck his head out of the car in front to see.
Bo Song put on a smile and waved at him: "It's okay, there's just a minor problem with the car."
"Why don't you come and take one with us?" Nanchun said hurriedly.
"No, no! Let's sit separately, there's more space and it's faster. We'll be on the road for a day or two." Bai Song said with a smile.
He was really afraid of the two great immortals, Bai Xun and Nan Chun!
Squeezing into a car with the two of them, facing them day and night for two days, isn't that torture?
It's the kind of death by slow slicing.
"Okay!" Nanchun nodded and sat back.
Bo Song kicked Meng Wu, got into the car with a look of disgust, and said with gritted teeth, "I'll deal with you when we get back! Have you arranged for the others?"
Meng Wu nodded and said, "Yes, they will stay for a few more days and return to Yangcheng after they have thoroughly investigated the matter."
"Well, do you think it's suspicious?" Bo Song asked.
"Although it sounds suspicious at first, I really didn't notice anything unusual. I also went to the teahouse, but didn't see anything.
The shopkeeper was Shi Lei, the rebellious, rebellious young master of the Shi family in Yangcheng. He had been a longtime friend of the Sheng family's fourth master. The steward was Cheng Hu, a chef they had poached from Yuqingzhai in Yangcheng.
"The Second Young Lady stayed in the teahouse for two or three days. After Mr. Chunxiao finished his performance, he went to stay at the theater. "The Second Young Lady didn't deliberately hide her whereabouts, so it was easy to track her down," said Meng Wu.
"Be careful."
"Yes."
"Xu Fei, let's go. Don't drive too fast, be steady, we are not in a hurry." Bai Xun looked back and said when he saw Bai Song got into the car.
"Yes, Second Young Master."
"Is this okay? The car the young master is riding in looks like it's about to fall apart." Nan Chun said worriedly.
"He's happy to do it, don't worry about him." Bai Xun said, "Here, this is a snack I bought for you to pass the time on the way."
"Wow, what's there?"
Nanchun couldn't wait to open it and see a variety of things inside, including melon seeds, peanuts, crispy candies, preserved fruits, candied fruits, and beef jerky.
"So many? Ah Fu, here's some for you." Nan Chun said as he grabbed a handful and handed it to Ah Fu who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"Thank you, Second Young Madam." Ah Fu took it with a smile on his face.
"Xu Fei, I'll give it to you when you take a rest." Nan Chun said to Xu Fei.
"Oh, thank you, Second Young Madam." Xu Fei was flattered.
"I went to the theater to watch a play before and was thinking about peanuts." Nanchun peeled a peanut and stuffed it into Bai Xun's mouth.
"There are no peanuts in the theater here?"
"Yes, but for some reason, I feel that the taste is not as good as the one in Qing'an Garden." Nanchun said.
"Really? I'll go ask them later and see how they did it."
Xu Fei listened to the two people talking.
If you tell those brothers about this, they definitely won’t believe it.
The second young master, who has always been old-fashioned, serious and stern, actually has such a warm side.
Bai Song deeply felt Bai Xun's partiality.
The journey was leisurely, with good food, good fun and good sleep.
Afraid of tiring his Nanchun.
It took three and a half days to reach Yangcheng, which was supposed to be a two-day journey.
Poor him, he was sitting in a broken car, was filled with cold wind, and was shaken to the point of feeling like his whole body was falling apart.
It was already evening when we arrived in Yangcheng.
The night falls and the lanterns come on.
The car drove slowly forward and passed by a beautifully decorated restaurant. The huge sign and colorful lights suddenly lit up.
Suddenly, my eyes were filled with bright colors and dazzling brilliance.
Nanchun was startled and shrank back unconsciously.
Bai Xun hugged him from behind and chuckled, "This is the neon light described in the book."
The book says that the lights are flickering, as if the Milky Way has fallen into the world.
Sure enough.
The car had already left, but Nanchun was still leaning against the window, tilting his head to look. Only when he could no longer see the car did he sit up straight with some regret.
"There are many more beautiful things ahead." Bai Xun said with a smile.
"Really?" Nanchun's eyes lit up with joy, and a smile appeared on his face again.
Bai Xun looked at him and felt that no matter how beautiful the lights were, they could not compare to Nanchun's bright and lively eyes.
"Second Young Madam, there are so many beautiful lights up there! Our Bai Family Commercial Bank's is even prettier than that! I was also surprised when I first came to Yangcheng. How come with just one button, the room becomes as bright as day?
"In the middle of the night, while everyone was asleep, I sneaked into the living room and turned the lights on and off repeatedly. Not long after, when I turned on the lights again, a spooky old face suddenly appeared before me. It scared me so much I almost peed my pants, thinking I'd seen a ghost!" Ah Fu recounted the scene vividly.
"If it's not a ghost, then who is it?" Nanchun asked curiously.
"It was Old Man Yan, the head steward of Baiyuan... He grabbed my ear and sternly asked, 'What are you doing so mad at this time of night?' The next morning, he insisted I was possessed and wanted to take me to a witch to exorcise the evil spirit. I didn't dare to say anything, I was just curious why the light came on as soon as I pressed it..."
"Why don't you say it?" Nanchun asked in confusion.
"The servants in Baiyuan always say behind our backs that the servants in the old house are country bumpkins who have never seen the world! I can't let them look down on me!" Ah Fu said, patting his chest.
"No wonder Butler Yan always says that the servants around the second young master are mentally abnormal and asks us to stay away from you!" Xu Fei, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said.
"He farted!" Ah Fu's face turned red with anger.
"Hahahaha..." Nanchun laughed so hard that she fell back and forth, and finally fell into Bai Xun's arms, laughing so hard that tears came out.
Bai Xun looked at him with a smile.
Yangcheng is indeed as prosperous and bustling as Mr. Wang described.
Tall buildings stand tall, lights are bright, and traffic is bustling.
When night falls, Baijiazhai falls into silence, it is pitch black everywhere, and people fall asleep.
But the place is just as lively at night as it is during the day, with people wearing all kinds of fashionable and beautiful clothes, walking in groups of three or five or alone.
In the windows of roadside shops, the lights reflected a wide variety of goods, attracting Nanchun's attention.
"Interested?" Bai Xun asked.
"Yeah." Nanchun nodded with a smile.
"I'll take you here for a walk tomorrow."
