Chapter 270: Old Lady Bai's Good Intentions
Yu Xiaoting threw the sword on the table casually, and said in a suppressed voice: "I think those people know that I didn't know kung fu before anyway, and they won't be too critical of me." As long as I practice decently, they should have nothing to say. ”
Old Lady Bai's face froze, and she said, "Do you know how many people there are in the Bai Clan's Mountain Gate?" Without waiting for the young master to speak, she asked herself, "There are more than 20,000 people, and this is only in the mountain gate, not including the people outside the mountain gate and all over the country." ”
Yu Xiaoting's expression was cool, and her eyes looked at her toes.
Old Lady Bai continued: "Do you know, how many of these people want to be the head of the door? You look me in the eye, do you have the confidence to do your job as a doorman? She doesn't care how good her kung fu is, but she can't watch her get by without thinking about it.
"I know that you earned my position for me, and I am grateful to you. I will work hard to practice, fulfill my duties as the master of the sect, and carry forward the Bai family. Yu Xiaoting stared directly into the eyes of the old lady Bai, "When I knew that I was the daughter of the head of the Bai family, I thought about taking over my father's mission, I was determined to take over the Bai family and carry the Bai family forward!" ”
Mrs. Bai's mood eased a little: "I can rest assured with your attitude, everyone knows that your martial arts foundation is poor, but what you want to show everyone is your attainments in martial arts, let them know that although you can't do it now, you will definitely be able to do it in the future, so that everyone can rest assured that you can manage the Bai clan and truly surrender to your orders." ”
Yu Xiaoting saw that her breath was uneven, and hurriedly helped her sit down and pour her tea.
The old lady drank the tea and evened out her breath before continuing: "Do you know that at the beginning of last year, that is, when your father died, the Bai Jinting family was going to take over the Bai Mountain Gate. The first one to be promoted was Bai Ruh, and at that time there was no one at the mountain gate, and he almost succeeded. ”
"What went wrong, Bai Ruli failed to take over the Bai family? Is his martial arts not good enough, or is there something wrong with his character? Yu Xiaoting asked suspiciously.
"Neither of these things, Bai Ruli and the three of their brothers and sisters are all children's skills, and they have been taught by your father himself, and their martial arts are all counted in the Bai Mountain Gate. Although Bai Ruli loves to be in the limelight, this is not a fatal flaw. Mrs. Bai said, "The reason why he can't get the support of the disciples is because he is arrogant, and he hasn't practiced hard since he won the first place in the competition in the mountain gate six years ago." Just ask a person who does not want to forge ahead, how can he lead Shanmen to develop in a better direction. ”
"If you want to convince your subordinates that you are willing to follow you, you have to let them see hope, even if you are not good at martial arts, you must leave them with the impression that you are working hard and will succeed soon."
Old Lady Bai's words woke up Yu Xiaoting, and she picked up the wooden sword again: "I will practice hard and show a wholehearted me to the doorman tomorrow." ”
"Good." Old Madam Bai just wanted to see this momentum, turned the cheats to the front, and said, "But I still think you don't need to practice too much, pick a place to practice the essence, and let them see that you are a seedling of martial arts and a Bai family."
Just look like a person. ”
"Hmm!" Yu Xiaoting nodded heavily, and suddenly frowned again, "I still don't understand something, since it is the successor of the Bai family, just hold a ceremony in the mountain gate, why do you have to invite the other three sect masters?" ”
Old Lady Bai smiled slightly, revealing shrewdness: "You haven't asked, I thought you thought you had it." Although your succession to the throne is justified, your martial arts skills are not very complete. If there are other three sect masters to witness, it can also help you establish a position in the mountain gate to a certain extent, and you are the recognized Bai clan master of the four gates. Standing upright, it will be much easier to do things in the future. ”
Yu Xiaoting suddenly realized: "It turns out that you have thought so much for me, thank you for taking so much trouble to plan for me." I will not disappoint you! After that, start practicing again, follow the method taught by Mrs. Bai, and try to make the movements sharp and light.
Old Lady Bai nodded with satisfaction and turned to go out.
Leaving the young master's room, the old lady Bai instructed the doorman guarding the door: "Don't let anyone disturb the young master, especially the Bai Jinting family." ”
"Yes." The doorman agreed.
After turning a corner, the old lady Bai returned to her room, pinching her eyebrows tiredly and sighing heavily. As soon as I squinted my eyes for a while, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and immediately cheered up and asked, "Who?" ”
"Auntie, I brought Ruzhu over to make amends for you." Bai Jinting pushed the door in, still taking Bai Ruzhu with him.
Although Bai Ruzhu had a bitter face, her attitude was much better, and she greeted her as soon as she came in: "Grandma." ”
Old lady Bai looked suspicious: "You're not making trouble?" ”
"No more trouble." Bai Jinting hurriedly replied, "I persuaded her mother for a while just now, Ruzhu has already figured it out, anyway, we are all a family, who is the master of the door is not the one." Besides, the person the old lady thinks will definitely not be bad, we will all listen to you. ”
Old Lady Bai didn't listen to him, but just asked Bai Ruzhu: "Are you still clamoring for a new master?" ”
Bai Ruzhu looked at his father Bai Jinting and shook his head: "Don't make any noise, it's useless to quarrel anyway, it will make you upset." ”
Mrs. Bai took a deep breath, asked the father and daughter to sit down, and said earnestly: "It's not that I bother you, although I am not your own grandmother, but your own grandparents died early, and your father followed me when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, it can be said that I grew up watching, and your mother was also married to me, how can I not hurt you." ”
"What my aunt said is that we are all a family." Bai Jinting said, "As long as the Bai clan is good, as long as the new gate master can take us to manage the mountain gate well, we will listen to her." ”
Old Lady Bai nodded: "Okay, it's good to know that you are wrong, tomorrow at the succession ceremony of the new master, you all be clever and guard against those who may make trouble." Tomorrow, the four gates will gather, and if anything happens, it will be our Bai family's face, but if there is any trouble, no matter who it is, I will never spare it. ”
Bai Ruzhu quietly glanced at his father Bai Jinting, and the two of them nodded to indicate that they knew.
"Alright, you all go out and go and see what is returned
Something that wasn't done. Old lady Bai leaned back in the chair, supporting her head with one hand, she was getting older and her body was getting worse and worse, she only hoped that she would see Bai Shun when she left.
Bai Jinting went out with Bai Ruzhu, and met the person who came to deliver the decoction to the old lady, and the one who walked in front was a man with a beard, and he saw Bai Jinting bowing his hand. But in the end, his eyes fell on Bai Ruzhu, his eyes were straight in an instant, and he couldn't move away.
Bai Ruzhu also looked back at the man, his watery eyes were pitiful with a coquettishness, his cheeks were red and his skin was white and tender, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, which was charming and charming.
