Chapter Seventy-Four: Invitation to Merit

h2 > said that they came by royal order, can they still get up at will?

Everyone was scolding in their hearts, but the expressionless sword gaze fell on Bai Qingshuang's face.

Today, as soon as the servant heard that the Nine Emperor Princes took the initiative to ask for orders to come to Bai Daru to congratulate him on his birthday, the reason why he didn't want to come was probably the only little girl who saw the Nine Emperor Princes not visiting.

And he obviously understands the reason why the Nine Emperor Princes, who have always hated the master and the Taifu, are willing to meet with a group of Confucian scholars who only know how to talk on paper.

Feeling that he was being looked at, Bai Qingshuang also looked towards the sword without concealment, his lips moved slightly, although he didn't make a sound, he was obviously saying: What do you see? What's there to see!

The sword was surprised, it had always been a stone-like facial expression, and it actually twitched a few times uncontrollably!

Seeing the Nine Emperor Princes, although a group of scholars did not appreciate the Nine Emperors' freewheeling and enterprising learning attitude, they were the emperor's favorite princes, and even if they didn't think so, they had to hurry up and compliment a few times.

Just when Xu Jingxuan was absentmindedly dealing with everyone, in the open door of the mansion, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps kicking and stamping, and then Bai Zhigao, the uncle of the Bai family, took his son Bai Qinglin and the third master Bai Zhifei and Bai Qingyue hurriedly greeted him.

As today's host, he was greeted by his father (grandfather) again, and in the face of Xu Jingxuan, who represented the imperial order, the Bai family naturally greeted him with a great bow.

As soon as the master of the Bai family knelt down like this, the servants naturally bowed to the ground, and even the guests who originally belonged to the VIPs also fell to the ground on their knees.

Bai Qingshuang secretly rolled her eyes, and under Bai Yao's vigorous pulling, she squatted down reluctantly.

That's right, she just relied on the small person and squatted, so she was not happy to kneel that stinky boy!

Of course, Bai Qingfeng also knelt on the ground under his father's pull, but because of the suddenness of the matter, when he knelt down, he was too hard, so that his knees hurt, and he couldn't help but grin and scream: "It hurts~"

The originally quiet surroundings, just because of his pain, there was immediately an entourage eunuch from the palace who shouted angrily: "Bold! ”

The eunuch's voice was too high-pitched, and it immediately frightened Bai Qingfeng, seeing that the corners of his mouth were twitching, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry, Bai Yao immediately hugged his son, and quickly covered his mouth, pressing his body to the lowest, just not wanting to be discovered.

Seeing Bai Qingfeng moving uncomfortably, Bai Qingshuang suddenly felt distressed, and looked up and was about to say something, but saw Xu Jingxuan, who was standing tall, slightly frowning and slowly shaking his head at her, this is to make her patient.

Bai Qingshuang pursed her mouth, and she was really unconvinced and wanted to say a few words to the eunuch who had just spoken out, but after all, she calmed down in Xu Jingxuan's eyes.

Because the meaning in Xu Jingxuan's eyes is obvious: The arm can't twist the thigh! Let her not act rashly.

And it was precisely because of Bai Qingfeng's voice that Bai Zhigao and Bai Zhifei also saw Bai Zhihong's family of four in the crowd, the two brothers exchanged glances, and Bai Zhifei asked in a low voice: "Big brother, why are they here?" ”

"I don't know! The north and south cities are so far apart, and the old man is not high-profile this time, they shouldn't have heard any rumors! Bai Zhigao looked dazed.

The whispers of the two brothers, of course, did not escape Xu Jingxuan's sight. After he glanced at Bai Qingshuang again, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked, and a certain smile flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Bai, Third Master Bai, this prince is having a public case here, and he needs to break it!" ”

Public case?

As soon as these two words came out, the servants of the White Mansion trembled all over, and they couldn't help but peek in the direction of the housekeeper.

Although the housekeeper resented the Nine Emperors for meddling in their affairs, how dare he make a sound at this time, and only prayed that what the Nine Emperors said had nothing to do with him.

And the guests were naturally puzzled, what did this Nine Emperor Prince, who had a headache for everyone, want to do? Do you want to put a fly on the head of the owner to disgust people when they come to celebrate their birthdays?

I have long known that these Nine Emperor Princes have a perverse personality and are unruly, and they can be regarded as bad luck for Bai Da Confucian.

The Bai family brothers didn't know what was happening before, so they naturally didn't know what Xu Jingxuan meant, Bai Zhigao hurriedly said: "Please also ask the Nine Emperor Princes to teach!" ”

"I don't dare to teach you, but I dare to ask the two, if there is an evil servant in charge, regardless of dignity and inferiority, and there is no master of the family, what kind of crime should this be?" Xu Jingxuan asked lightly.

As soon as he said this, the butler was already sweating profusely, his face was pale, he fell to the ground with a puff, and fainted directly.

As soon as the two masters of the Bai family saw this formation, they knew that the matter was in their house, and they looked at each other and were about to find someone to ask.

Xu Jingxuan spoke again: "Actually, this is just a family matter of your mansion, and this prince should not participate in it at will." However, what my father revered the most was the Confucian way, etiquette and morality, filial piety and loyalty, and the most undesirable thing was the evil slave and the deceitful master, if this matter was transmitted to the palace......"

"The emperor is wise, I can't tolerate such a wicked slave in Baifu, come to someone, pull people down, punish them with a rod for thirty, and expel them from the mansion forever and can't be renewed!" Uncle Bai saw that Xu Jingxuan's expression was fierce, although he said it lightly, but the meaning in the language was that he felt that he could not allow them to secretly investigate in detail, and he had to give a decision, so he immediately obeyed Xu Jingxuan's meaning and sent someone to drag away the housekeeper who had passed out.

This housekeeper is a person from his father-in-law's family, and he actually can't see that his wife has been holding back to him with the money subsidized by his mother's family, so he happened to borrow the east wind of the Nine Emperor Princes to remove the eyeliner of a wife.

Xu Jingxuan was obviously very satisfied with Bai Zhigao's knowledge, looked at Bai Qingshuang's eyes and blinked mischievously, waiting for people to say thank you as if they were invited.

But Bai Qingshuang only thought that his eyes were cramping, and he didn't look back at him, and he was still holding a grudge.

Xu Jingxuan touched his chin helplessly, and then arrogantly said to the people who were still kneeling: "Get up!" ”

"Thank you for the Nine Emperors!" Everyone thanked them in unison and got up.

"Nine Emperor Princes, please!" Uncle Bai also immediately bowed down and made a gesture of please, inviting Xu Jingxuan to enter.

As for Bai Zhifei, under the signal of Bai Zhigao's eyes, he was about to walk towards Bai Zhihong's family.

Xu Jingxuan saw their interaction, suddenly covered her lips and coughed lowly, and suddenly said to Bai Qingshuang, who was supporting Bai Yao's family: "Hey, little girl over there, come here!" ”

The Bai family was stunned, and Bai Qingshuang replied angrily: "What are you doing?" ”

"The Nine Emperor Princes called you over because they can afford to lift you up, why are you so rude?" The sharp-tongued eunuch scolded dissatisfiedly.

But Xu Jingxuan just glanced at him lightly, and the eunuch was so frightened that he immediately bowed down and remained silent.

"Nine Emperor Princes, that is the adopted daughter of Xiaosheng's second brother picked up outside, she has been raised outside, she doesn't know etiquette and humility, Xiaosheng is afraid that he will offend the Nine Emperors, it is better to let the female relatives of the house accompany the Nine Emperors!" Bai Sanye Bai Zhifei had heard a lot about the romances and eccentric and perverse personalities of the Nine Emperor Princes in the Hanlin Academy, and when he saw that Xu Jingxuan actually asked Bai Qingshuang, who was like bean sprouts, to accompany him, he thought that he was bored without a beautiful woman by his side, and immediately came up with such an idea.

When Uncle Bai heard this, he rolled his eyes in anger, this third brother is really the most brainless, and in front of such a distinguished guest, he can't wait to directly reveal his heart of Sima Zhao, who wants to marry his daughter to the Nine Emperor Princes, to the public, isn't this a smear on his face?

He also had a smug expression on his good idea, and he couldn't see the snickering in the eyes of the distinguished guests.

It's no wonder that his father let him be a leader, he has a little cleverness, but he has always only held an idle position in the Hanlin Academy, and he has not achieved great success so far.

Moreover, he also spoke directly about Bai Qingshuang's voice in front of everyone like this, obviously slapping them in the face of Baifu himself.

"Oh? It turns out that this girl is not from your Baifu, no wonder she dares to act boldly, is reckless, and has the demeanor of everyone's ladies! Xu Jingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Bai Zhifei's gaze as if he was smiling, with an unfathomable look, which made people feel like they were in the clouds, and they couldn't figure out what he meant.

Bai Zhigao's face changed, and he heard that Xu Jingxuan was openly praising Bai Qingshuang, but secretly belittled their Bai Mansion.

However, not only is the person noble, but he also didn't make it clear, of course he can't pick a thorn, he can only suppress the disgust in his heart, and said to Bai Qingshuang kindly, "Shuang'er, although you didn't grow up in the house, but your parents still taught you all the Confucian spirit admired by the Bai family, you don't want to be petty and live up to the love of the Nine Emperors!" Come on! ”

In fact, according to Bai Zhigao's temperament, he should be more sleek than Bai Zhifei, and he is more suitable for mixing in officialdom, but unfortunately, the ancestor of the Bai family is to inherit the private school, and the second son and young son can become a leader. Otherwise, Bai Zhigao definitely wants to take the entrance examination.

His words definitely did not directly save Xu Jingxuan's face, but with a frost, a Confucian spirit admired by the Bai family pressed on Bai Qingshuang, and naturally won back the face of the Bai family that Xu Jingxuan belittled.

Bai Qingshuang ignored Bai Zhigao's hypocritical title, and just handed a small look to Xu Jingxuan, and the meaning of the warning in his eyes was obvious: Xiaoxiang, you talk to me again, be careful I want you to look good!

Oops! I'm so scared! Xu Jingxuan smiled back at her, and suddenly waved his hand and said, "That's it!" This prince originally just admired the recklessness of the white girl, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by the third master Bai! Let's go, let's go in, it's a big sin to keep the old birthday star waiting for a long time, let's hurry up and give the old birthday a birthday! ”

This Nine Emperors' hexagram change is really faster than turning a book, and the slower speed can't keep up with his rhythm.

Following Xu Jingxuan as the leader, Bai Zhigao's mind turned on Bai Qingshuang's body.

The Nine Emperors' gags, is it because of that family?

Just now, he personally called Bai Qingshuang "Shuang'er", and said that the Bai family, at this time, in front of everyone, naturally no one could stop that family from entering the door.

That's it, since they have come, let them in, and as for whether they will please their father or not, it depends on their creation.

The corners of Bai Zhigao's mouth were slightly hooked, and a sly smile flashed in his eyes. R1152
