Chapter 43: Xu Gongzi

"It's Xu Gongzi's kindness, and Muzi is grateful." When Lin Muzi saw him like this, he didn't dare to relax at all, for fear that if he didn't do a good job, he would bring something bad to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When the young man known as Xu Gongzi was about to say something, he was interrupted by Bai Lijin, "I said Muzi, you are not kind, you don't want to say a word to me, but Xu Gongzi's face is very good, I am sorry that I still told the prince about you that day!" Bai Li Jin interjected very naturally, making the people on the field feel that he did this as a matter of course, and at the same time, it also made the people on the field understand that the two knew each other, and the relationship between Bai Li Jin and Jun Wuchen was not ordinarily good.

"Why am I not kind, but you can tell me, who tricked me into coming to see the Genting competition today?" Lin Muzi looked at Bai Lijin pretending to be aggrieved, and secretly rolled his eyes at him.

The latter didn't care when he saw her white eyes, and directly took Jun Wuchen out as a shield, "Isn't it up to you to find the master, let you see if there is a suitable one, is this worthy of the matter that the prince confessed to me before leaving!" ”

When the people on the scene heard this, they thought that Jun Wuchen asked Bai Lijin to help and make a snack about Lin Muzi's search for his master, so Bai Lijin said that Lin Muzi came over, and they all secretly praised Jun Wuchen's meticulousness towards his princess and Bai Lijin's responsible attitude towards his friends, and Lin Muzi secretly slandered himself after hearing it: Jun Wuchen has explained you or something, he didn't look for you, you will make excuses, and you are not afraid that the main lord will come back to you to settle accounts after the autumn!

"What are you talking about? So lively! After Lin Cheng arranged everything, he saw the scene just now after he came back, and after looking at the time, he interrupted their chat, "You young people still have energy, you just came up to this Yunding and chatted hotly, unlike us, we are old and useless!" ”

When everyone saw that it was Prime Minister Lin, they all got up and saluted, "Prime Minister is too modest, who in this world doesn't know that Prime Minister Lin has been the winner of the first son for many years, and now it's just a place for us juniors to play, and it's our turn to compete in this Genting competition!" ”

"Hahahahaha, you guys can talk, I still know how many pounds and taels I have." Prime Minister Lin looked at these teenagers with a smile, if nothing goes wrong, many people here today will contribute to the Jun Dynasty in all aspects in the future, "It's not too early, everyone prepare, the competition is about to begin." ”

"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison, and then each began to make final preparations before the competition.

When everyone was preparing, Prime Minister Lin Cheng had already sat down beside Lin Muzi, and the eunuch who was responsible for reading out the entire competition process was also in place, just waiting for everyone to get ready and officially start the competition.

After a stick of incense.

"The competition has officially begun!" A eunuch stood on a high platform and loudly reported the piano skills of the first round of the competition. The sound of the piano can best reflect the quality of a person's heart, the real heart of the noble person, the sound of the piano is beautiful and pleasant, so that people will be happy when they listen to it, and please pay attention. ”

After listening to the eunuch's words, everyone also held their breath, for fear that their performance would be affected by emotional reasons, but Bai Lijin and the previous Xu Gongzi and a few sons of the family did not show nervous looks, and they looked happy on the field.

The competition officially began, and the four piano sounds all started, which seemed to sound very good, but no one was listening carefully at this time, and Prime Minister Lin Cheng, who was in charge of the competition, told Lin Muzi the identities of the more outstanding people on the field, after all, the real result can only be seen in the end, and it is just a waste of energy to forcibly distinguish it now.

After about a stick of incense, some people began to be unable to hold on, and soon, the intermittent sound of the piano also affected other people, and many people's faces showed anxious looks, and the music in their hands could not be talked about anymore... After the three pillars of incense, the sons of the family on the field also felt powerless, but they quickly stopped, not making themselves look so embarrassed, but Bai Lijin and Xu Gongzi continued to play, without the slightest tiredness.

"Brother Baili's piano skills are growing day by day, I admire and admire them!" Xu Gongzi looked at the calm Bai Lijin and slowly spoke.

Bai Lijin's subordinates also kept talking to him, "Xu Gongzi has won the award, and Xu Gongzi is better at piano skills, but what he is good at is just business!" ”

As soon as Bai Lijin's words fell, Xu Gongzi's face changed, but he recovered quickly, but even so, he still let the people on the field see it. Xu Gongzi's piano skills are the best in the world, and now only he and Bai Lijin are still insisting on the field, the latter still looks leisurely and complacent, saying that he is not good at piano skills, showing that he is just focusing on participation, doesn't he take Xu Gongzi's strength in his eyes!

"Brother Baili is too modest, he just knows a little bit about piano skills, where can he talk about being good at it." Xu Gongzi sorted out his emotions and pulled the song that played the wrong note before back to the correct score, "In the next, but suddenly remembered something!" A few days ago, I went out of the imperial city with my father to do some private business, and I happened to see Brother Baili and Miss Lin going out of the city together, during which they talked and laughed, but I didn't know that Brother Baili and Miss Lin had such a good relationship! ”

Bai Lijin naturally heard the idea of wanting to discredit himself and Lin Muzi in his words, and he was also very unhappy in his heart, but he still scrupled on the occasion and said, "Master Zhiyuan happened to be in the ancient temple outside the city a few days ago, and the prince knew that I was friends with the master, so he asked me to go over with Muzi and ask for a peace charm for Muzi." Why did I hear what Xu Gongzi meant, it seems to be a misunderstanding, isn't it? ”

Bai Li Jin's tone was light when he said this, but it was not the same thing when it fell into Xu Gongzi's ears, and he could hear the displeasure in Bai Li Jin's tone. In fact, Xu Gongzi is the Baili Dynasty installed in the eyes of the Jun Dynasty, since Baili Jin changed the name of the Du family firm to the Baili Dynasty and expanded the strength of the firm, the Baili Emperor asked Xu Gongzi to bring his orders to Baili Jin, so that Baili Jin became the most powerful assistant of the Baili Dynasty, he still remembered the first time he saw Bai Li Jin, when Bai Li Jin's face turned black after listening to his words, and it took a long time to recover, he originally thought that he would not be able to complete the task given to him by the Baili Emperor, But I didn't expect Bai Lijin to suddenly speak, "It's okay for me to help, but I have conditions: first, bury my mother's body in the ancestral grave of my grandfather's house, I don't care what method you use; Second, you are responsible for the place where you want to use the money, I will not help, and I will not listen to you all, you forced me out of the Baili Dynasty at the beginning, and now you want me to serve the Baili Dynasty wholeheartedly, I dare to respond to you and you dare not use it; Three, you can't meddle in anything related to Baili Firm, and don't think about investigating Hundred Miles Firm, otherwise I will make you regret it. You go and tell the Baili Emperor that if he can accept these conditions, I will help him, and he will not come to me again after the matter is completed. When Xu Gongzi heard this, he knew Baili Jin's attitude, he didn't like the Baili Dynasty, but he was able to seek more interest for himself with this dislike, which was not something ordinary people could do. Therefore, Xu Gongzi has always been jealous of this fifth prince who is far away from the Baili Dynasty. At this time, he noticed Bai Lijin's displeasure, and his heart was also extremely frightened.

Bai Lijin didn't know the twists and turns in Xu Gongzi's heart, he just looked at him with a smile, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

Xu Gongzi had already run far away when he was thinking nonsense, and there was no way to restrain his emotions when he saw Baili Jin's appearance, in this era of strong monarchs and ministers, even if Bai Li Jin was not in the Baili Dynasty, but his identity as the fifth prince was still there, no matter how Xu Gongzi was favored by Baili Huang, he would not dare to disobey Bai Li Jin... At this time, only the sound of "Zheng" was heard, Xu Gongzi's strings were broken, and Bai Lijin was still playing, and the winners and losers had already been distinguished.

Bai Lijin stopped his hand and said slowly to Xu Gongzi, "Playing the piano, the most taboo is cranky, how can Xu Gongzi play the piano well if he is uneven, and accept and concede!" ”

Xu Gongzi was already earth-colored at the moment, he just wanted to test Baili Jin's attitude towards Lin Muzi, but he didn't expect to end up now, it is estimated that this year's Genting competition will not have his own share" Brother Baili taught that he was thinking a lot, but he defiled the qin. That's it, this year's competition of Xu is over here, and I hope you will work harder! After Xu Gongzi said these words, he stepped down from the stage without any twist, sat in his previous seat, and no longer planned to participate in the next competition.

The first round of the competition was over here, and the eunuch told everyone to pay attention to the time of a stick of incense, and then continued to prepare for the next game.

"Bai Li Jin's belly black is really worthy of its name!" Lin Muzi, who had just heard all the conversations between the two at the main seat, looked at Bai Li Jin, who was resting in place, and thought silently: "Can break through the other party's psychological defense in a few words, Bai Li Jin should be very familiar with the other party or know the weakness of the other party, but how can Bai Li Jin, a businessman, be so familiar with the son of a high-ranking official like Xu Gongzi?" As for knowing Xu Gongzi's weakness, it is even more impossible. Lin Muzi looked at Bai Li Jin's direction, her eyes were full of inquiry, she knew that Bai Li Jin was hiding something very important from her, but she also said that she didn't ask about the past, only looked at the future, so even if she was wondering in her heart, she couldn't run over and ask Bai Li Jin what was going on.

Bai Lijin felt her gaze and raised her head and smiled at her. This time there was no going against the light, Lin Muzi saw the comfort on his face and the imperativeness.
