Chapter 31 Get out of here

It was already dark when they returned to Duke Anguo's mansion. Beisheng was delighted by the carriage parked by the wall. It was Lang Zhuo's carriage.

Maybe after today, her father will agree to her going to Runing.

Bei Sheng and Lu Zhu walked in despite the cold frost, and happened to see Xu Zhaoting sending Lang out.

Just when he said he wanted to salute, Xu Zhaoting's face became angry, "What were you doing and came back so late?"

Xu Zhaoting was not there when he came back from the eldest princess's mansion at noon. Beisheng only told Mrs. Yun that he was going to buy a birthday gift for Zhao Shu and left the mansion.

She thought she would be back in an hour or two, but she lent the carriage to Wen. It was a snowy day and she had to walk on two legs until the end of Youshi.

She said honestly: "Replying to my father, it will be the birthday of the little Marquis in a few days. My daughter took advantage of the time today to choose a birthday gift for the little Marquis, so she wasted time."

What happened in the eldest princess's house today also reached Xu Zhaoting's ears. He thought that Bei Sheng and Xiao Xu had developed a friendship and went to have a private meeting on the pretext of it, so he looked very bad.

Xu Zhaoting said with a cold face: "I have been here for so long. I must have picked out good things and brought them out for my father to see."

Bei Sheng took out the Jiu Dao from his sleeve and offered it with both hands.

She took the opportunity to steal a glance at Lang Zhuo. His expression was the same as that of Xu Zhaoting. They were not very good-looking. Could it be that today's conversation did not go well and that Runing could not go?

The moment the knife sheath was opened, not only Xu Zhaoting's eyes lit up, but Lang Zhuo's expression also changed.

Beisheng wondered if they recognized this as something Tuoba Hu had used.

Xu Zhaoting was a little annoyed, "You are not willing to give such a good dagger to that ungrateful boy Zhao Shu, not to mention bringing one to your father. It cost a lot of money, right?"

Bei Sheng lowered his head and smiled slightly, "The shopkeeper saw that my daughter liked it, so he only asked for three hundred taels. Otherwise, I will leave this to my father, and the little Marquis will find another way to give his daughter a birthday gift."

Xu Zhaoting couldn't believe it, "You only received three hundred taels for such a good thing?"

Bei Sheng nodded and smiled again, "Maybe it's a fake, and it's only worth so much."

Lang Zhuo raised his eyebrows as he listened and wanted to say a few words, but finally held back.

Xu Zhaoting sheathed the knife and put it back into its holster, and gave it back to Bei Sheng, "Since it is a gift you prepared for Prince Zhao, I will not be greedy for your things as a father. Your mother is still waiting for you to eat, so go in quickly."

After he saw off Lang Zhuo, he came back to teach Bei Sheng a lesson.

"Yes, father."

Bei Sheng was about to run away when Lang Zhuo said, "It has been decided that the second girl will go to Runing. I still have something to explain to the second girl."

She lowered her eyes and listened, trying hard to hold back, but she still couldn't hold back the smile that overflowed from her lips.

Xu Zhaoting glared at her and said, "Father, I'm going back first. Come in quickly after Master Tonglang has finished speaking!"

"Yes, father." Xu Shi was too happy, and his tone of response was filled with excitement that could not be concealed.

Lang Zhuo, however, calmly walked out of the house first, and Bei Sheng followed him obediently. When he reached the carriage, Lang Zhuo turned around and said, "It's cold outside. I heard from the carriage."

Beisheng nodded, "Everything is up to you."

In fact, she wanted to say that if she had anything to say, she could talk in the conservatory in the mansion. It was always warmer than in a carriage, and the space inside the carriage was small. It didn't matter to her that a man and a woman alone would be seen together. She was about to leave Beijing anyway, so she was afraid. It would give Lang Zhuo a bad reputation.

But seeing that Lang Zhuo was in a bad mood, she said nothing more and followed the carriage.

There is a charcoal basin in the car, which is indeed very warm.

Beisheng had been freezing outside for half a day, and started to tremble when he was hit by the charcoal fire. Lang Zhuo took out the fire stick and lit the sheepskin wall lamp in the car. Seeing her scene, he threw a fleece blanket behind him to Bei Sheng with a straight face.

Lang Zhuo said angrily: "How can a gift be frozen like this?"

Bei Sheng wrapped the blanket around his body, then bent over and rubbed his hands on the brazier, only to feel that his fingertips were already numb with ice.

She said: "I only have Zhao Shu as my friend in Beijing, and he doesn't want to be close to me, so I can only bother to choose something unique as a gift for him. The blacksmith said that this knife was used by Tuoba Hu, and no one in the capital dared to ask for it. , I said I wasn’t afraid, so he gave it to me directly, but I saw that his shop was empty, so I gave him all the money I had.”

Bei Sheng didn't hear the sound for a long time, and suddenly raised his head to look at Lang Zhuo. He also looked at her blankly, with unknown emotions hidden in his eyes. Bei Sheng's heart suddenly thumped, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

It seemed like a sudden thread was holding her heart, and it seemed like it was roasted by a fierce fire, and there was a burning sensation in her heart. In short, it was an indescribable feeling.

"Sir?" Beisheng waved his frozen red hand in front of Lang Zhuo's face. Lang Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Although the Duke has promised to let you go to Runing, it has been snowing heavily these days. We can only wait until the snow passes. You can't go on the road until it clears up, so you don't have to be so anxious to choose a gift for Zhao Shu, you can come in a few days."

So, his displeasure was because he was anxious to choose a birthday gift for Zhao Shu? But what does it matter if it is sooner or later? Why should he be angry?

Bei Sheng suddenly thought of something and asked, "When is your birthday? Students should prepare birthday gifts for you in advance."

Lang Zhuo sat upright, with his eyes half closed like a statue in a temple, and said coldly: "I never celebrate my birthday."

Bei Sheng smiled and said, "I don't want to say it, sir. I will know after I return to Runing and ask my uncle. If I miss this year, there is still one next year. The student will definitely prepare a birthday gift for my husband."

Lang Zhuo finally grinned, then turned gloomy again. The change between gloomy and sunny only happened in an instant. Beisheng had never seen anyone change his face so quickly.

Lang Zhuo's face completely darkened and he began to reprimand Bei Sheng, "You are a woman. You rescued Xiao Xu from the siege at the eldest princess's mansion this morning, and then ran to choose a birthday gift for Zhao Shu in the afternoon. That's all for Zhao Shu. I have the feeling of being a classmate with you, what you said in public, how do you want others to see you and how do you want Xiao Xu to be seen?"

Bei Sheng felt sad, and then became calm: "Students have their own reasons for how to do things, but from what standpoint do adults say this to students? If it is the teacher's standpoint, adults can just teach and teach. After class, What students do has nothing to do with adults. If there is anything wrong, parents will reprimand them. If it is an elder brother's position... I am no better than my elder sister. I have been familiar with adults since I was a child, and I can call you cousin. You and I are really close to each other. We haven’t known each other for a long time, and adults really can’t control students!”

Lang Zhuo's frown became even tighter and his face became more serious. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said: "Get out of here!"

This was probably the most vulgar thing Lang Zhuo could say. Beisheng didn't waste any time. He took off the blanket and walked around the brazier and got out of the car, stepping on the crunching snow. He quickly entered the gate of the palace and disappeared from Lang Zhuo's sight.

Lang Zhuo felt a headache. Xu Beisheng was quite talented in reading and writing, but how could he be so unteachable in other matters? She just said one sentence, and she had ten sentences waiting for her.

There were still thousands of questions in my belly that I wanted to ask her, but she was so speechless that I couldn't even ask them out with her few words.
