73. Lin Gongzi visits the Bai family
Today was the day when Lin Xi went to the Bai Family Academy, so he got up early in the morning.
Zhao Yuanrong insisted on advancing and retreating with his cousin, so he naturally let the maid change his clothes and wash himself, and when the two of them finished preparing and had breakfast, Lin Xi took him to Zizhu Courtyard.
Since you are going to the Bai Family Academy, you naturally have to visit the Bai family first.
Xiao Yuheng had already asked for leave from the Hanlin Academy, and he also took advantage of this day to take the Bai family back to his parents' house for a small gathering.
"The eldest young master, the young grandmother, the cousin and the prince are here."
The maid said, and the couple looked up and saw a young man in a green shirt leading a pink-carved child walking unhurriedly, one older and one young wearing the same clothes, both with a shallow smile, relieved, looking like father and son.
Xiao Yuheng looked at it and said to the Bai family in a low voice: "Xi'er is becoming more and more handsome, and in the future, I don't know how many peach blossoms I will provoke when I go out to study." ”
Bai glanced at her husband with disgust and said, "It's all fathers, it's not right, I think this calm bearing is stronger than others." Lord Rui is also a good eye, and only his cousin has the patience and ability to raise a young man of such a big age. ”
"Madame is very right."
As soon as Xiao Yuheng and his wife were talking, Lin Xi had already arrived, raised his hand and said, "Lin Xi is not talented, bother my cousin and sister-in-law to go." ”
Zhao Yuanrong also stood at Lin Xi's feet and called: "Uncle and aunt An." ”
"Xi'er is polite again, your cousin-in-law hasn't been back for a long time, and it's just the same today." Xiao Yuheng said, Bai also nodded, his eyes fell on Zhao Yuanrong, and said, "It's also hard for the little world." ”
Zhao Yuanrong shook his head, "It's not hard, where my cousin goes, I will go too." ”
The hand that was holding Lin Xi was tightly pulled.
Lin Xi touched his head, feeling quite helpless, since that day, Zhao Yuanrong looked at him tightly, of course, he was more well-behaved than usual.
It's very cute.
Xiao Yuheng and Bai smiled lowly, seeing that Lin Xi's appearance was clearly eaten to death.
Xiao Yuheng said poorly: "Tsk, my cousin will definitely be a good father in the future, and I have to study hard." ”
Lin Xi directly gave him an unsightly white eye.
Zhao Yuanrong was a little unhappy, his cousin wanted to be his father, but others couldn't.
After a few words of greeting, everyone went to Chongjin Hall to ask for peace, and after Mrs. Tai carefully instructed, they left the Hou Mansion and went to the Bai family.
Lin Xi originally intended to put Zhao Yuanrong in Chongjin Hall and be taken care of by Mrs. Tai for a few days, but in the end, he couldn't resist Zhao Xiaoshizi's urgency and stickiness, and with the Bai family, Zhao Yuanrong repeatedly promised to wait for him obediently with his eldest aunt, Lin Xi relented and agreed to go together.
It was not too late to arrive at the Bai family, there were already servants waiting at the door, and as soon as they saw the carriage of the Hou Mansion, they immediately stepped forward to pull it, and someone else rushed in to pay their respects.
"Sister, brother-in-law." Bai Shujin and Bai Shuyan had already received the news and immediately came out to greet each other.
Xiao Yuheng helped Bai Shi get out of the carriage, and then looked at Lin Xi behind him, but in addition to Lin Xi, there was also a child, dressed similarly to Lin Xi, and they were stunned for a moment when they saw this.
Bai Shuyan blurted out, "When did Lin Xi have such a big child?" ”
"That's the prince of Rui." Bai Shujin really had a headache at his brother's open-mouthedness, "You've seen it on your nephew's full moon wine." "Although it does look a bit like father and son.
As soon as I said this, I remembered.
So the brothers stepped forward to greet Zhao Yuanrong, there was no way, the prince was just born, and his status was superior.
Zhao Yuanrong pretended to stretch out his hand to help him, and Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's go in now, Mother is afraid she will be in a hurry."
The old lady of the Bai family entered the cabinet, because of her age, if there is no major event, she doesn't have to order it every day, but she was appointed as the chief examiner of the Spring Festival, so she is not at home.
The old man of the Bai family, Bai Rubai, is the son of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, and he follows his father. And the eldest young master of the Bai family just left the Hanlin Academy a few years ago, and the evaluation was excellent, and now he has been promoted to the Shaoqing of Wupin Taichang Temple, which is the busy time for the new appointment, so he is not at home.
In short, the men of the Bai family, except for the scholars who have not yet reached the crown, are all Jinshi and first, and they all have official positions, of course, these two brothers will be the same if nothing happens in the future.
There is a five-jin scholar, and there is no longer one in the entire Great Xia.
With such a lintel, the Liu family was able to marry the Bai family for Xiao Yuheng, which is indeed lucky.
In comparison, the Yongning Marquis Mansion, which has stood for a hundred years, is just a second-rate family that relies on the shadow of their ancestors.
And along the way, pavilions and pavilions, all have rules, distant and near scenery, faintly into the painting, there is no image of great wealth and nobility, but there is an open and open meaning.
Lin Xi secretly admired to himself, this mansion is not big, but it is very well cultivated.
Seeing Lin Xi's happy expression, Bai Shuyan leaned over and said, "My family is okay, why don't you just live here, let's study together in the future, it's also cheap?" The book is boring to death, I was thinking of having someone to talk to, we live in that water pavilion, the scenery is better. ”
Is it okay to just say bad things about your brother like this? The white book is just ahead.
Lin Xi couldn't help but smile and nodded, "It's really good, it makes people open-minded." But his eyes fell on Zhao Yuanrong next to him, and it was self-evident.
Bai Shuyan and Zhao Yuanrong glanced at each other, and Bai Shuyan was puzzled: "The entire Yongning Marquis Mansion, how can Prince Rui let you take the child?" ”
yes, that's a good question, everybody asks.
When Xiao Shizi arrived at Baifu, he didn't say a word except holding Lin Xi's hand, and his reserved and arrogant appearance seemed to be unable to catch anything.
However, he looked at Lin Xi closely, and when he heard this, he said very unhappily: "Why can't my cousin take me?" ”
Bai Shuyan is also a child, so he couldn't help but tease him, "He is as old as me, and he will be very busy studying and studying in the future, how can he have time to take care of you." ”
Zhao Yuanrong looked at Lin Xi, couldn't help but hold his hand more firmly, and said seriously: "I will be obedient and will not disturb my cousin's study." ”
This look is really pitiful, Bai Shuyan opened his mouth, a little dumbfounded, and said with emotion: "Lin Xi, you are so powerful, you will marry your own children in the future and raise them like this, you will definitely not be wrong." ”
"No, Rong'er is not allowed to marry his cousin." Zhao Yuanrong retorted nervously, "Father doesn't allow it...... Hmmm......"
Covering his mouth with one hand, Lin Xi smiled and said, "We're down, let's keep up." ”
While talking, he glanced at Bai Shuyan, what is not good, he has to mention the sensitive topic of marriage, I don't know how much time it will take him to coax back?
"Does the prince still care if you marry or not?" Bai Shuyan was extremely puzzled.
Lin Xi didn't care about him anymore, and walked forward, Zhao Yuanrong was led by Lin Xi and glared at Bai Shuyan fiercely, which only made him confused.
The lady of the Bai family and the eldest young lady have been waiting for a long time, and they can't see Xiao Yuheng and the Bai family even more affectionately.
"You should bring the child too, my mother thinks about it every day." The eldest young lady said.
Bai leaned in front of Mrs. Bai and hugged his mother and said with a smile: "It's still too young, I was sick the day before yesterday, and I was afraid of tossing back and forth, so I didn't hug it." When the weather is warmer, I will bring it to my mother. ”
Mrs. Bai hugged her daughter and nodded yes, "That's the reason, children are most afraid of running around, and I'll go to see him in person after a while." ”
Xiao Yuheng immediately said: "When does my mother-in-law want to come, send someone over to say that my son-in-law will come to pick you up in person." Then stay in the Hou Mansion for a few days, Ah Xiu has been chattering for a long time, and our old lady and lady are also looking forward to you. ”
Bai Shi bent his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at her husband with a very gentle gaze.
When the Bai family saw it, they covered their mouths and laughed.
Madam Bai was quite satisfied with Xiao Yuheng, and then looked at Lin Xi, "This is the son of the Lin family." ”
The Bai family was about to speak, and the eldest young lady immediately said happily: "No, this is a famous little miracle doctor, and my sister's danger that day is thanks to the cousin of the Lin family." ”
Lin Xi hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Hello madam, good young lady, Lin Xi is polite." ”
Zhao Yuanrong also learned from him and arched his hand, "Madame, young lady is good, Yuanrong is polite." "After that, look at his cousin.
Everyone was stunned before they covered their handkerchiefs and laughed, and Madame Bai immediately replied, "The prince has tormented us." ”
It's really distressing to the bones, if it weren't for so many people, Lin Xi would definitely hug Zhao Yuanrong in his arms and kiss him twice.
Seeing that Lin Xi's expression was soft, Zhao Yuanrong felt happy in his heart, and said happily: "I'm following my cousin." ”
Today, Bai Shujin and Bai Shu did not go to the school hall early, so they were waiting for Lin Xi to go together.
Most of the children of the Bai family are in the Bai family school, and occasionally there are those who come in with a relationship, and they are also relatives and deceased generations, and most of the Kyoto nobles are still the choice of the country's eunuchs.
It is because Lin Xi has but not much, but in order to show his attention, he is led by the direct descendants of the Bai family, and he will not be despised when he arrives at the school.
Lin Xi followed the Bai brothers to say goodbye to everyone and left.
Although Zhao Yuanrong was very reluctant, he had already said it before, so he just said, "Rong'er will obediently wait for my cousin to come back." He stopped talking and watched Lin Xi leave.
In this way, no matter how hard his heart was, Lin Xi couldn't help but squat down, kissed Zhao Yuanrong's forehead, and whispered, "I will come back as much as I can." He rubbed his hair again and said with a smile: "You can't forget your homework, calm down and write well, I'll check it when I come back." ”
Zhao Yuanrong nodded vigorously, leaned in and kissed Lin Xi's cheek, and laughed with two small dimples, "I like my cousin the most." ”
"I also like Rong'er the most."
Bai Shuyan looked sour, "This is really a son." ”
