Chapter 296: Throwing bricks and attracting jade, and calling my cousin
Bai Lu has always been at odds with Bai Fu, but he is willing to see him suffer some losses, but he doesn't want to see the cheating in the imperial examination, because this matter is not only Bai Yibo's business alone, nor does it not only lose the face of the Bai clan, but also makes the Bai family fall into a situation where it is difficult to turn over.
It may take decades or even centuries for a family to thrive, but it only takes one thing to decline.
"Let's go, go to my house, let's make a good calculation. Bai Lu calmed down, and the top priority was not to settle accounts with Bai Fu, but to find a way to minimize the danger of the matter.
Bai Ruozhu's family followed Bai Lu to his house, and then called several sons of the family to gather in the hall to discuss.
"Uncle Patriarch, please take a look at this first, this is the book I wrote, I plan to ask the people in the village to sign it, and then present it to Lord Qincha for inspection. Bai Ruozhu said and took out the book she had written.
As soon as Bai Lu heard that it was written by Bai Ruozhu, he was a little surprised at first, and when he opened it and saw a thousand words sprinkled into it, he was even more surprised. When he looked at it, he was not surprised, because he was completely attracted by what was written on the paper.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Bai Ruozhu's gaze, which was not only approving, but also admiring.
"It turns out that among the juniors of our Bai family, in addition to Zepei, Ruozhu is the best writer. He said with emotion.
Bai Zeji saw that his grandfather was looking strong, and he didn't care about the elder and younger, so he leaned over and poked his head to look at it. He read more books, and he could better understand the excellence of Bai Ruozhu's book, and after reading it, he couldn't raise his head in shame, and said: "It's a pity that women can't participate in the imperial examination, otherwise Ruozhu will definitely be above me, no, much better than me." ”
Bai Lu's sons have also read, because Bai Lu is impartial, whoever wants to read will be sent to read, although they have not made any achievements, but their knowledge is definitely stronger than that of ordinary villagers, they have come over, and they also applauded together after reading it, and looked at Bai Ruozhu's eyes with reverence.
Bai Ruozhu touched her nose a little embarrassed, she didn't want this effect.
"Patriarch Grandpa, if Bai Yibo has been removed from the Bai clan, it won't have much impact on the clan at this moment, but the matter has already happened, and the fraud is definitely unreliable, and if it is found out, it will be a crime. So I think you might as well write a similar statement to show that you have drawn a clear line with Bai Yibo, and from now on he is not a member of the Bai clan, so that you can ask Lord Qincha to open up the net and avoid the punishment of the Bai clan. Bai Ruozhu hurriedly put away his entry book, and if he continued to read it, he couldn't talk about things.
Bai Lu came back to his senses at this time, and he also knew that he was not treating people now, and he must solve it as much as possible.
"Zeji, if you come to write, you will write a statement according to what Ruozhu said. Bai Lu said to Bai Zeji next to him.
Bai Zeji hurriedly spread out the paper, and his father hurriedly came over to polish the ink for him, but Bai Zeji couldn't put down the pen for a long time, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Zeji, don't rub it off, hurry up and write. Seeing him like this, Bai Lu couldn't help frowning and urging.
Bai Zeji looked embarrassed, "Grandpa, I ......"
"Don't say you can't even write this, where have you read all these books?" Bai Lu was angry when he heard it, because of Bai Yibo's matter, he felt that he should be strict with his children and grandchildren, and only by governing the family rigorously could he avoid things like Bai Yibo.
Bai Zeji's face turned red, as if he was about to drip blood, "It's not that I can't write, but after reading Ruozhu's article, I feel that I am too bad, and I don't know how to write." ”
Bai Ruozhu was a little embarrassed by his words, and everyone also looked at her, she thought about it, she couldn't be too showy, and it was not easy to embarrass Bai Zeji.
"Ruozhu, it's better for you to help the second grandfather write. Bai Lu shook his head in disappointment, and Bai Zeji's eyes darkened next to him, and he was very self-blaming.
In fact, Bai Ruozhu felt that Bai Zeji was not without literary talent, but she was a little overwhelmed when she saw her introductory words, and she also had the experience of writing more papers in her previous life, and at this time, literati paid more attention to poetry, but they didn't practice much in writing articles.
"Let's write it by Brother Zeji, I'll give you some ideas. Bai Ruozhu walked up to Bai Zeji as he spoke, and whispered to him how to write, what points to write, and then how to show his attitude, make a guarantee, and so on.
These methods of choosing arguments, and then explaining and arguing one by one, are the habits that Bai Ruozhu developed in writing essays in his previous life, once he thinks about a few points clearly, the organization will be clear, and it will be much easier to write again.
After all, Bai Zeji has been studying for a few years, and he has been studying with Mr. Wu recently, and at this moment, Bai Ruozhu can understand it a little, and soon the embarrassment on his face faded, and he began to put down his pen and write on the paper.
No one dared to disturb him, but he looked quietly in the back, and soon nodded incessantly, Bai Zeji wrote well, it seems that the book was not read in vain.
Soon, Bai Zeji put away the pen, he handed the paper to Bai Ruozhu, and said, "Ruozhu, you can help me see where it needs to be modified." ”
Bai Ruozhu read it, nodded and said, "You don't need to change anything, it's very well written." ”
Bai Zeji breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Thanks to your order, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of how to write at all." ”
"Brother Zeji is too modest, I'm just throwing bricks and bricks, or you have your own foundation, if you can't read, I can't write no matter how much I say. Bai Ruozhu smiled at him.
Everyone also praised Bai Zeji for writing well, Bai Zeji smiled embarrassedly, he knew in his heart that if Bai Ruozhu came to write, it would definitely be better than him, but Bai Ruozhu said what to throw bricks and lead jade in order to save his face, obviously she threw jade.
Thinking of this, Bai Zeji was not only full of gratitude to Bai Ruozhu's admiration for the five-body project, but also thought that he would repay Bai Ruozhu for his help if he had the opportunity in the future.
Bai Lu took the statement letter, signed his name on it and printed his handprint, and then passed it to the rest of the clan, and everyone signed and printed their handprints, which soon reached Bai Zehao and Bai Yihong.
At this moment, there was a call for the door outside: "Open the door, open the door for me, you can't make decisions quietly, you can't ignore Yibo's life and death in order to protect yourself, our Bai family can't be so selfish!"
As soon as everyone heard Bai Fu's voice, their faces showed disdain, Bai Yibo made such a big mistake, he should have been expelled from the clan, how could it be that everyone else was selfish in Bai Fu's mouth, so his son would not be selfish if he did such a thing that violated the law and affected the whole clan?
Bai Ruozhu laughed coldly, did Bai Fu think he still stopped her? They kept shouting that they wanted to expel her from the Bai clan, but in the end, Bai Yibo was going to get out, isn't this a kind of irony?"
