The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

"Mr. Zhu?"

Xunzi murmured softly.

During the more than four months since she came to Qin Province and taught at Yage Women's School, it was impossible not to hear Mr. Zhu's name. It would be fine if it were anyone else, but Mr. Zhu is Bai Gui's master. With this relationship, it would be strange if she didn't hear about it for so long.

After knowing the origin of this jade cicada, she was so moved that she could not attach anything to it.

Even though this jade cicada was just a small gift casually given to Bai Gui by Mr. Zhu, but it involved the teacher's sect, the jade cicada gave it another layer of meaning.

a long time.

The bedroom door opens.

Bai Gui and Xunzi walked out with a rosy face.

Little Chiyo is in the courtyard, playing with the two dogs Wangcai and Laifu.

When she was in Kyoto, she often encountered Hatsumomo having sex with guests at Tatsudai House, not just once, so she was already used to this kind of thing.

Two dogs gathered around Bai Gui and barked affectionately.

Xiaochiyo also walked over in small steps. She began to talk to Bai Gui about her recent experiences and memories of the scenes when they were together in Tokyo. Her eyes were full of happiness.

Several people were sitting on the railing of the corridor in the courtyard, basking in the afternoon light.

The atmosphere is harmonious and warm.

"I'm going to cook."

Xunzi felt that the company was almost done, so he stood up and said softly.

Dinner is ready quickly.

It was sukiyaki and a bowl of hand-made noodles.

There are Chinese and Japanese dishes.

"Mr. Bai, there is news about the sale of our two-story building in Bunkyo District, Tokyo. A few days ago, it was handed over from Tokyo..."

"Now that house has been sold for more than 5,000 yen, and the price is still rising steadily. Many people want to buy this house."

While eating, Xunzi suddenly mentioned something.

It's about selling a mansion in Tokyo.

After Bai Gui brought Xunzi and Xiaoqianyo to Qin Province, the mansion naturally became vacant, so he planned to sell it.

It's not that he lacks the money, he just wants to put some thoughts away.

From now on, there will basically be no time to go to Japan again.

Even if I go..., I won't stay in Tokyo for long.

So the mansion he bought while studying abroad was sold.

"I remember when I bought that house, it was... one thousand three hundred yen. Now it has increased to more than five thousand yen. It has doubled so many times."

When Bai Gui heard this, he laughed dumbly.

Sure enough, his original decision was right. It is better to rent than to buy. When the time comes, you can sell it and make a fortune.

"Mr. Bai is a national-level writer, literary giant, and historian. If you say you want to sell your old residence, there will definitely be a large group of people rushing to buy it."

"I heard that the Bunkyo District government wants to turn this place into a tourist attraction."

Xunzi replied with a smile.

Although in the past ten years, Bunkyo Ward has been a cultural and educational center in Tokyo, with various colleges and universities concentrated here, and house prices have risen steadily, it has not yet doubled or doubled. When I bought it, it cost 1,300 yen. Now, The fact that it can be sold for five to six thousand yen is entirely due to Bai Gui's celebrity effect.

"You should put an end to the matter of selling the house..."

"After the sale, you can keep the original thirteen hundred yen for yourself, and donate the remaining excess to the education of Qin Province. After all, when I stayed in Japan, it was Qin Province that funded my study abroad. , now is the time to repay my hometown."

Bai Gui pondered for a while and said.

He studied abroad in Japan, and he took the path of studying abroad in five special schools, and was sent by the government to study abroad. Although it is said that they are competing with students from all over the country to obtain the qualification to study abroad, in terms of funding, Qin Province actually also contributes a considerable amount of money, which is then distributed uniformly by the embassy.

Over the years, he has donated a lot of money to Qin Province and even the whole country.

The current treatment is just following the old practice.

It is reasonable to leave 1,300 yen to Xunzi and Xiaoqianyo. Xunzi is his wife and Xiaoqianyo is his god-sister, and he supports them. The three of them have lived in that mansion for a long time, and they have already developed a certain relationship. He is not short of the money, so the money is left to Xunzi and Xiaoqianyo to use it to make their lives better in the future.

"Onisan, you...when will you come to see us again next time?"

Xiaochiyo suddenly realized something and asked hurriedly.

One thousand three hundred yen, for a literary giant like Bai Gui, is only a fraction or a tenth of the royalties. But for ordinary people, it is a lot of money.

It is difficult for a wealthy family in the countryside to come up with so much money at once.

Although Bai Gui usually leaves money for them and gives quite a lot of money, the amount is usually only a few hundred yen. One thousand three hundred yen, this is the first time.

"Don't worry."

"I will make time to come back and see you."

Bai Gui walked up to Xiao Chiyo, knelt down, rubbed Xiao Chiyo's head, and smiled gently.

He didn't know when he would see Xunzi and Xiaochiyo next.

It could be months, a year, or years.

Or even longer.

If you have weak feelings for him, this little time is enough to wash away all memories.

If... you have deep feelings for him, it is better to leave some thoughts behind than to leave nothing at all.

…

After learning that Bai Gui had returned to Chang'an, Wu Huaiyuan and Liu Mingda came to invite him to a banquet to talk about their old friendship.

Bai Gui helps Bai Huaigu with the enrollment in the nursing home, which inevitably requires the use of connections. The Wu family is a very knowledgeable person in Qin Province. If you pay a little attention, you can know the news about Bai Gui in Chang'an.

Restaurant.

Chang'an Restaurant.

A sky-high box.

"I am very happy to see Brother Mingda and Brother Huaixian again after not seeing each other for many years."

Bai Gui held the wine, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile.

Although he and Wu Huaixian and Liu Mingda had not seen each other for many years after he went to study in the United States, the three of them had a very deep relationship as they slept together in Normal School, First High School, and Dongda University. Even though we are a little stranger now, we still have feelings from the past.

But inevitably, speaking is no longer as casual as before.

The three of them talked about everything.

But when it comes to some immediate matters, there is some ambiguity and empty talk.

After a full meal.

"I don't know when Brother Meihe will bring his brothers and sisters out. We will also take our respective inner rooms to get together and get to know each other."

Wu Huai first put down his wine cup, took a mouthful of Songhua fish meat, and asked.

Although he and Bai Gui held their weddings on the same day, afterward, they both had just gotten married and were inseparable with the bride. They couldn't care less about their brotherhood, so they didn't visit their respective homes after the wedding. .

Furthermore, he had just returned to China at that time and was very busy with various affairs and could not spare any time.

In addition to him, there is Liu Mingda. Liu Mingda got married later than him and Bai Gui. They got married last year.

Therefore, the wives of the three of them have not met yet.

As for Xunzi, the two of them have met before, but this is an outer room, different from a real wife's room.

"This matter... is easy to talk about."

"I have been in Qin Province for the past month. You two can decide on a specific time and I will take Xiuzhu there."

Bai Gui nodded and agreed.

These are just small things, there is no reason not to agree.

However, he could see a hint of insincerity in the expressions of Wu Huaixian and Liu Mingda.

Maybe they really just want to meet each other and maintain friendship as friends, but according to Bai Gui's guess, Wu Huaixian and Liu Mingda's purpose should be more than that. They may want to use Bai Xiuzhu's line to climb up to Bai Xiongqi's center Senior officials….

This is not something difficult to understand.

Mrs. Wu Zhou Ying of the Wu Mansion is the goddaughter of the Queen Mother of the West, but now in the early Republic of China, the backstage backers of the Wu Mansion have long since collapsed. Although the Wu Mansion later found a new backer, it was not the same as before. Compared with the Qing Dynasty, it is inevitably inferior.

Since ancient times, businessmen who only talk about business cannot go far, and they can only make a small fortune. When you reach a certain level, such as Wu Mansion, a giant businessman in Qin Province, you must get involved in officialdom, otherwise you will not be able to do business. Giving to others is also done, why should I give it to you?

"Then...Brother Meihe has agreed that in three days, I will still hold a banquet here, and we will get together."

Wu Huaixian's tense expression softened and he put on a smile again.

"The three of us have a feeling of being classmates, it's just a matter of little things."

Bai Gui smiled.

The gourd chicken business in Bailu Village owed the Wu Mansion a lot of favors. This was also the case when he stayed in Japan. After returning to China, he caused a lot of trouble for the Wu Mansion.

The favor you owe must be repaid!

Although the Wu Mansion did not force him to do this, it is reasonable to reciprocate kindness.

"Brother Huaixian, brother Mingda..."

"You know that I am a very restless person. I plan to go abroad again in a few days to study history. I hope to get more research results. So, I leave the affairs at home to you two."

Bai Gui said after drinking a few glasses of wine.

International students who can stay in Japan and come back do well.

Moreover, his vision and knowledge are basically much ahead of those in China.

The time in China when we open our eyes to see the world is not long.

Now that he has used his personal connections to help Wu Huaixian and Liu Mingda. It makes sense to let the two of them help take care of their own home.

Taking care of you with benefits will last longer.

As for going abroad to other countries, it was just an excuse that Bai Gui made after careful consideration.

This reason is extremely appropriate.

He is a scholar of history, so it is extremely normal to go to other countries to conduct scientific research, and no one will doubt it too much.

At this time, it is reasonable that the carriages and horses are slow and there are not many letters.

There won’t be too much doubt.

"Brother Meihe, you and I are brothers. Since you choose to trust us, we will not let you down. I will help take care of your family affairs..."

Wu Huaixian patted his chest and promised.

It doesn’t look like Bai Gui is begging them to help take care of him, but with Bai Gui’s current fame, identity, status, and connections, there are so many people who want to help take care of Bai Zhai that they can fill up a whole street, but Bai Gui doesn’t He didn't trust these people, but he believed in the character of Wu Huaixian and Liu Mingda.

Besides, how much effort can be put into taking care of a white house?

"me too!"

Liu Mingda also replied solemnly.
