Chapter 67: What a book
Since Bai Muchen listened to what Bai Mujin said, he became more and more interested, and he used twelve points of spirit to read and practice calligraphy every day, and even the masters in the school were full of praise, saying that the eldest young master of Ning Guogong had the style of his grandfather.
These words fell on Bai Gaoxuan's ears, but they became so unpleasant, and he hated Bai Muchen more and more, and found fault everywhere.
"Big brother, do you think that you are going to be Mr. Dongfang's apprentice, and you look down on us classmates?" Bai Gaoxuan deliberately raised his voice so that the other students could hear it.
Sure enough, these words attracted the attention of many people, and they all looked at Bai Muchen with a look of envy and jealousy, and one of them had always been good friends with Bai Gaoxuan, so he said: "Do you think anyone can become Mr. Dongfang's apprentice?
The one who spoke was the concubine of the Ministry of Rites Wailang, Hu Lincheng, speaking of which Hu Lincheng and Bai Gaoxuan were still relatives. The Hu family is the maiden family of Lu Zhaoan's wife, the Hu family, and Hu Lincheng is the nephew of the Hu family, so it is normal for him to be friendly with Bai Gaoxuan.
Bai Muchen's face was a little ugly when the two of them said, he never doubted his sister's words, his sister said that he would let him apprentice, and there would be no mistake, these people were just red-eyed.
I didn't want to deal with them, but obviously Bai Gaoxuan was unwilling to give up, so he just blocked his way, and said with a smile: "Where is the eldest brother going? You can also tell us, how can we worship under Mr. Dongfang, if Mr. Dongfang even accepts you, we may have a chance!"
As soon as these words came out, those children who were still watching the play also echoed and said, "Yes, yes, how did you climb Mr. Dongfang? The masters all said that Mr. Dongfang has rarely taken in apprentices in recent years!"
Although these children are all in their teens, they were born in the family of the official eunuchs, they are too precocious, and they have not learned other skills, but they have learned a lot of intrigues, and they have long known that the two brothers of the Bai family are not in harmony, so they are often willing to watch the jokes of the two of them.
Bai Muchen glared at Bai Gaoxuan, and then said tepidly: "Brother Xuan, this is our family matter, although my grandmother didn't explain it specially, but before it was done, you made a lot of trouble, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Bai Muchen still knows this, so he usually keeps a low profile as much as possible in the school, so as not to make himself look too dazzling, and accidentally provoke jealousy, and he is weak, and his father doesn't like him, so he is the only one who can protect himself.
Now that it is revealed, it is also so that when I see Mr. Dongfang, I can get his old man's blue eyes and accept myself, I don't want to rely on my sister's help, I don't have real skills, and I will be gossiped about in the end.
Bai Gaoxuan saw him say this, but he didn't mean to give up at all, sneered, and said, "Why do you have to say this, with the relationship of your grandfather, how could Mr. Dongfang not accept you! Isn't the eldest cousin a disciple of Mr. Dongfang?"
Everyone was stunned, and Hu Lin said with a look of disdain: "I see, with the relationship of your grandfather, you can climb to Mr. Dongfang, I will say, you are not much better than us, why can you be a disciple of Mr. Dongfang!"
The other students also had some angry expressions, people's jealousy is like this, when they can't get it, others get it, they will not accept it, not to mention that they get it by "improper" means.
Bai Muchen coughed lightly, and then said: "Brother Xuan, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to say this, although my grandfather has an old relationship with Mr. Dongfang, he will not be partial in the end, if I don't perform well, I won't be accepted!
"Bai Gaoxuan, aren't you the same grandfather as Bai Muchen? Why didn't Lu Xiang recommend you to Mr. Dongfang as well? It's so strange...... someone asked strangely.
The others also looked at Bai Gaoxuan with puzzled expressions, they are also grandsons, the difference is a bit big, right?
"I don't understand this, Bai Gaoxuan's mother is a concubine, where is there a concubine who is favored, Prime Minister Lu Cheng naturally won't help a concubine's grandson!"
"Oh......" Everyone made a clear voice in unison, and their eyes looked at Bai Gaoxuan with a little unkindness, the difference between Tianyuan and the concubine is still very clear, and the concubine will never want to go out of the concubine. Therefore, even if Bai Gaoxuan is also Ning Guogong's sister-in-law, his mother is a concubine, and his son is still not as tall as Bai Muchen in the end.
Bai Gaoxuan was exposed, his face was blue and red, and he shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? My mother said that I will also worship under Mr. Dongfang, hum!"
As soon as the words came out, Bai Gaoxuan regretted it, his mother clearly told him not to tell him about it, otherwise it would destroy his mother's deployment, but he forgot to control his mouth when he was excited, and looked at Bai Muchen's puzzled eyes, and secretly annoyed.
The classmate who had just exposed his shortcomings was obviously a little unconvinced, and asked, "You can't be talking big, are you? Just because you are both the grandsons of Prime Minister Lu, you can all worship under Mr. Dongfang?"
Bai Gaoxuan didn't want to mention it again, so he didn't want to answer him, but he didn't expect this attitude of not admitting it, which made people even more suspicious of him saying big things, and they all snickered, and said, "It turns out that bragging, Bai Muchen is also bragging, haha!"
"Yo yo yo...... The braggart king ...... "The children are so playful that they all shout wildly."
Bai Muchen didn't care, anyway, when the time came, he really worshiped Mr. Dongfang's door, and the rumors would naturally disperse, and now let them think that it was better to brag about it, and it would not attract jealous people to find fault with it.
But Bai Gaoxuan couldn't hold his breath, and retorted loudly in shame: "I didn't brag, you wait and see, I will definitely be Mr. Dongfang's apprentice, my mother promised me!"
Bai Gaoxuan's words, others didn't believe it, but only Bai Muchen felt a little wrong, although Bai Gaoxuan was a little vain, but he wouldn't lie in front of so many people, if his mother really agreed to Bai Gaoxuan's matter, it would mean that his stepmother had some bad ideas.
Bai Muchen secretly remembered it in his heart, and planned to tell his sister after school, so that her sister could pay attention to it, and she must not let the Lu family harm her again.
Bai Muchen planned to go out to breathe, but unexpectedly, Bai Gaoxuan blocked his way again, and said, "Big brother, I want to borrow your homework to see, can I?"
Bai Muchen didn't know what his idea was, but in front of so many people, he couldn't refuse, so he said, "If you want to see it, go and see it, it's in my bookbag!"
Bai Gaoxuan didn't expect Bai Muchen to be so refreshing, he was overjoyed, thinking that when he opened Bai Muchen's bookbag later, what would fall out, he was faintly excited, his mother was so smart, as long as Bai Muchen's reputation was bad, Mr. Dongfang would not accept him, then the opportunity was his Bai Gaoxuan's.
Thinking like this, Bai Gaoxuan pretended to go over and rummage through Bai Muchen's bookbag unintentionally, but after rummaging for a while, he didn't find anything bad that his mother said.
"Brother Xuan, isn't your homework here? What are you still rummaging around, my things are all messed up for you!" Bai Muchen said unhappily, this younger brother is getting more and more excessive.
Bai Gaoxuan glanced at Bai Muchen with a strange face and asked, "Has anyone else turned over your bookbag?"
"What are you talking about, we just came in a carriage, and you stopped me to say a lot of things as soon as I came, has anyone turned it over, don't you know?" Bai Muchen replied with a frown, but he was thinking in his heart, what Bai Gaoxuan meant by this, could it be that something should appear in his bookbag?
Thinking like this, Bai Muchen took the opportunity to organize the bookbag and secretly checked the bookbag, and found that there was nothing more or less before he was relieved.
Bai Gaoxuan thought about it carefully and found that it seemed that except for their two scholars, no one would touch the bookbag, but the scholar was only responsible for helping to carry the bookbag, where would he touch the contents inside?
So I thought that maybe it was just that Xiao Lu had encountered some unexpected situation, so he didn't have a chance to put things in Bai Muchen's bookbag today, and he would find a chance to expose him when he was tomorrow.
While he was talking, the Master walked in, and it was time for class.
"Okay, everyone go back to their seats, take out the homework I gave you yesterday, put it on the table, and check it for the teacher!" Master Li is a man in his thirties, and he is very serious, so the students are afraid of him.
After listening to the master's words, everyone immediately obediently returned to their seats and began to flip through the book bag, Bai Muchen didn't move because he had just turned out his homework, and Bai Gaoxuan, who was in front of him, accidentally dropped a book when he was taking out his homework, and strange things seemed to be drawn on the cover of the book.
Bai Muchen didn't know why, but Hu Lincheng, who was sitting next to Bai Gaoxuan, called out in surprise: "Gao Xuan, what are you?"
It's okay not to scream, but even the eyes of the master were attracted by the shouting, Bai Gaoxuan looked at the things that were accidentally brought out on the ground, and his face immediately burned like a fire, and his ears were red.
He panicked and was about to pick up the book, but Hu Lincheng picked it up first, he didn't seem to know what kind of book it was, but he just saw that there were two people drawn on the cover, entangled with each other, and the state was extremely weird. He was so curious that he opened the pages of the book, and saw that there were naked men and women, hugging each other in a distorted posture, so frightened that he immediately threw the book aside.
The book smashed at the master's feet impartially, and when Master Li looked at the pattern on the book, his face was also red, and he quickly picked it up, covered it, and put it aside, and then asked sternly, "Whose is this?"
Bai Gaoxuan naturally wouldn't admit it, but Hu Lincheng saw that Bai Gaoxuan lowered his head, and he didn't want to say anything, so he kept silent, but just now, many people saw that the book was picked up from under Bai Gaoxuan's desk.
"Master, it's Bai Gaoxuan's, we all saw Hu Lincheng pick it up under his desk!" Some people didn't see what kind of book it was, but a few got closer, but they saw that there were strange pictures drawn in it, like naked and exposed men and women. I don't know what it is, but I know it's not a good thing.
Li Fuzi glared at Bai Gaoxuan coldly, and said very angrily: "At such a young age, you have such obscene and evil thoughts, insulting Sven and insulting Sven!"
Bai Gaoxuan looked at Li Fuzi, and cried as soon as he cried, and said while crying: "It's not mine, it's not mine, someone must have framed me, it must be!"
As he spoke, he turned his head and glared at Bai Muchen viciously, what should have appeared in Bai Muchen's bookbag, why did it appear in him, it must have been Bai Muchen's ghost.
"Master, it must be my eldest brother, he wants to frame me!" Bai Gaoxuan angrily accused.
Bai Muchen's face turned pale, he looked at Bai Gaoxuan, and said with a sad face: "Brother Xuan, you are talking nonsense, you must not be so ignorant, how have I ever framed you? What kind of book are you, I don't know, how can I frame you?"
