Sisi and Lao Hei weren't interested in the stones Lao Bai mentioned.
Old Hei doesn't like this.
Sisi's only dream in life is to live a carefree life with money and leisure. "Did Old Qi send you back?"
(The Old Qi that Sisi mentioned is Chief Steward Qi, who served the late emperor.)
Old Bai nodded. "Old Qi said that after they finish fighting, you should take that stone to the guy who won, and that guy will definitely give you a title. Once you have a title, he can brag to other ghosts, and he can say to other ghosts, 'Look, even though I don't have a son, I have people who worship me, and the people who worship me are people with titles.'"
"Is Old Qi still in the palace?"
"Hmm. Old Qi said that's where he should be. Thirteen? Have you talked to Thirteen about me?"
"I did say that."
"That's more like it. Is Thirteen a child or a little monster?"
"Child."
"Then I'm relieved. I couldn't handle another little monster. Where's Thirteen?"
"I went with my mother to gather herbs."
Old Bai shook his head and clicked his tongue twice. "Tsk tsk, how old is Thirteen? You're sending him to gather herbs? You're all so wicked, so wicked."
"He went there to have fun."
"Stop it, you two are just awful. Let go, let go, I'm going to part ways with you two."
Old Hei picked Old Bai up and threw him onto the rocking chair where he had just been lying. "You've traveled such a long way, aren't you tired?"
"Little monster, he bullied me."
"He's not bullying you, he's just worried about you."
"If you feel sorry for me, give me a leg massage."
"Aren't you afraid he'll just break your legs?"
"...You two are awful! I'm going to part ways with you."
Sisi poured Lao Bai a cup of tea. "Aren't you bored all by yourself now that we're separated? Here, have some tea."
Old Black glanced at Old White. "You know so much about us, and you still want to part ways with us?"
"Little monster, he threatened me."
"He can't bear to part with you. Here, have some grapes, they're quite sweet."
Old Hei went and got another rocking chair.
When Fengchan and the Lin family's young wives returned with their children, they saw Lao Bai ordering Sisi around like a lord, while Lao Bai kicked Lao Bai's rocking chair like a bully. Sisi, like a Maitreya Buddha, smiled as she peeled the apple while watching Lao Hei kick Lao Bai.
Feng Chan was very happy to see Lao Bai. "Lao Bai, you're back. Thirteen, this is your Uncle Bai. Mother told you about him, do you remember?"
The Lin family women were both afraid and curious about Lao Bai. They were afraid because Lao Bai seemed too sinister, and curious because they wondered if Lao Bai was as capable as Lao Hei.
The Lin family children all hid behind the adults.
Thirteen said loudly, "I remember, wife."
Feng Chan always worried that Lao Bai wouldn't be able to find a wife whenever she talked about him. So, whenever Shisan heard "Uncle Bai," he immediately thought of a wife. Although he didn't know what "wife" meant, his mother always put the two words together, and he felt he should do the same.
bump!
Old Bai was stunned for a moment before Old Hei kicked him over.
Old Bai stood up and dusted himself off. "You can't call your wife that, call her Uncle Bai."
"Okay, Uncle Bai, wife."
"...Just call me Uncle Bai." Old Bai pulled out a bunch of small silver locks from his body. "Here, this is a gift from Uncle Bai to you. You all have one too."
Old Bai was referring to you as the little ones from the Lin family.
Thirteen thuds passed quickly. His sister and his Uncle Hei were over there, so he wasn't afraid at all.
The Lin family's children were too afraid to go.
Feng Chan saw that Lao Bai still had money to buy gifts for Shisan and the others, and felt that Lao Bai was one step closer to getting a wife.
Feng Chan looked at the little ones of the Lin family and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. Uncle Bai and Uncle Hei are the same. They just look fierce, but they're not fierce at all."
The Lin family's little ones didn't believe it.
Seeing that they were still hesitant, Feng Chan went over and took a few small silver locks, hanging them around their necks. "Thank you, Uncle Bai."
The Lin family's little ones thanked Old Bai from afar.
Old Bai smiled. "It's alright, it's alright, go have some fun."
After Feng Chan and the others left, Lao Bai picked up Thirteen. "Are you afraid of me?"
"Don't be afraid, my wife."
“…You can’t call your wife that, call her Uncle Bai.”
"Uncle Bai, wife."
"..." The little monster is still the most fun. Old Bai shoved Thirteen into Old Hei's arms. "What did you call him?"
"Uncle Black".
"No, we need to add a wife."
"My mother, no."
Old Bai didn't understand. "Little monster, what does he mean by that?"
"He meant that my mother didn't mention his wife when she talked about Lao Hei."
"How could your mother do this? Old Hei isn't even married yet."
“My mother thinks that Lao Hei doesn’t want to get married, and that you can’t marry him.”
"Old Black is too hard to marry. Old Black is as cold as an ice cube."
Thirteen didn't know what "ice cube" meant, but Old Bai's tone and expression told him it wasn't a good word. "Uncle Black, okay, you, wife."
This time, Lao Bai understood. "Don't let your mother say to your brother that I can't find a wife. Look at your brother, he calls me 'wife, wife' all the time."
Sisi smiled. "It's no use me saying anything. My mother's biggest worry right now is your marriage. Whenever she thinks of you, she keeps saying, 'When are you going to get married?'"
Just as Sisi finished speaking, Yun Qingying and the others returned.
Yun Qingying was also quite happy to see Lao Bai. "Lao Bai, you're back? How's the capital?"
"It's all in chaos. Your father-in-law is dead, and your husband has gone blind in one eye."
