Chapter 42: Trouble at the door

Early in the morning, Xie Jiu hurriedly returned to the white mansion from outside, and reported with a smile: "Master, Lu Shangshu of the household department asks you to go to work tomorrow." ”

Bai Zhansong, who was lying lifeless on the rocking chair, suddenly had a look, sat up straight suddenly, and asked uncertainly, "Really?" ”

"Such a big thing, where would a slave dare to deceive the master." As he spoke, Xie Jiu respectfully handed over the documents with both hands.

Bai Zhanjun carefully inspected the two large seals on the household on the document, and was overjoyed: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Prince's anger has disappeared." ”

These days, he is not restless, and it doesn't matter how many days later he goes to work, the key is that he has offended the prince, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a good life as an official in the court in the future.

Xie Jiu pondered and said: "Your Highness is mostly angry because you deliberately poured wine on the second miss that day, but the second lady's surname is Bai, and her heart is naturally towards the Bai family." With a few kind words from her in front of His Highness, His Highness will be discouraged. ”

Needless to say, the second lady in his mouth naturally refers to Bai Muguan.

"The child is strong on the outside, but in fact soft-hearted, most like her father." At this time, Bai Zhanchun was in a good mood, "You hurry up and go to the East Palace, invite her to come over again today, and we will talk about the friendship between uncle and nephew." ”

Xie Jiu hurriedly retired.

At this time, the Kim family happened to come over, and obviously heard what he had just said.

"Yo, my uncle and nephew are different, breaking bones and tendons. You scolded her a few days ago for being worthless, and now you praise her again. Jin stood with his hands on his chest, and his yin and yang weird tone was quite disdainful.

Bai Zhansong was poked in the sore spot, and his face became gloomy and he scolded: "Shut up, what do you know about a woman!" ”

Jin snorted coldly, chattering more and more: "I'm a woman, it seems that Bai Muguan's girl is not a woman?" You and I are her own uncle and aunt, but she doesn't take us seriously, and she is simply disrespectful! ”

It's really hateful that this Bai Muguan is not like Li Lan's biological daughter at all, not only does she look bad, but her temperament is also very different. If she was as amiable and gentle as Li Lan when she was young, the Jin family might as well be patient and coax her, but unfortunately she is a tough master, and there is still the support of the prince behind the oil and salt.

"Mu Wan is already at the same level as me at a young age, and his future is immeasurable, can he be compared to an inner house woman like you? She is proud and willful and has capital, and we as elders take care of one or two more. With that, Bai Zhan swept away.

I didn't know that these private words of their husband and wife were passed on to the outside of the mansion, and a delicate carriage was parked not far from the Bai family's mansion. There were two maids guarding outside the carriage, and only after a little maid slipped out of the back door of the house and whispered to the two maids in front of the carriage did the two maids return to the carriage.

The carriage is delicate on the outside, but even more luxurious on the inside. Shangguan Xiyue, who was wearing silver and white soft armor and shaping her body, showed a smug smile after listening to the report of the two maids: "Yao Xilin said quite a little, it is not easy to deal with Bai Muguan, it is much easier to start with her poor relatives!" ”

A few days ago, Yao Xilin sent someone to invite her to Weiyuan Hou's Mansion as a guest, Shangguan Xiyue went to enjoy the light when she had nothing to do, and the two inadvertently chatted about Bai Muguan. Yao Xilin quietly told her that the Bai family had recently returned to the capital to be an official, and it was better to find another way than to fall to Bai Muguan every time.

"Their Bai family is not in harmony, and a little provocation by Miss can make Bai Muguan faceless." The one who echoed the words was Cui'er, who was cleaned up by Bai Muguan in the Wei Mansion last time.

Thinking of that bright and dazzling face, Shangguan Xiyue was angry and angry: "Don't let her have no face, hmph, I want her to never turn over!" ”

The other maid, Lian'er, was also sixteen or seventeen years old, looking delicate, and said with sharp teeth: "Miss, it's time for the Fang family to arrive, should we go to the front to watch the play?" ”

Without waiting for Shangguan Xiyue to speak, Cui'er preemptively said: "Our young lady is so noble, how can she condescend to stand in front of others?" The slave maid had already ordered someone to book a private room in the teahouse opposite, and the young lady just looked down at everything condescendingly. ”

Shangguan Xiyue nodded when she heard this, and glanced at Cui'er approvingly. Although she is not afraid of anyone, she is still more perfect without knowing it.

At the same time, there were indeed people making a fuss at the main gate of the Bai family's house.

"Bai Zhanzhu, you have no way to teach your son, your family style is not right, how can a person like you deserve to be in the fourth-grade official position!"

"Bai Qi, you shameless person, you deceive people too much, you dare to bully my daughter, I will fight with you today!"

"The father and son of the Bai family are in vain, you guys get out of here quickly! Don't be a shrunken turtle anymore! ”

At this time, a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing a seven-grade court uniform, stood in front of the door hoarsely, and cursed the Bai family father and son thousands of times in his words. When several family members saw that he had an official status, they didn't dare to drag him out at will, so they could only try their best to persuade him to shut up.

Beside him stood two women, both weeping, one of whom was slightly shorter than his age, presumably his wife. The other one is at a young age, born with bright eyes and bright teeth, and is slender and slender.

No matter when and where, there are always many good deeds around, for example, at this time, people and traders have gathered around, and there are almost dozens of people as far as the eye can see. There is no shortage of "enthusiastic" long-tongued women who are indiscriminately accompanied by scolding, or discussing and commenting on the Bai family.

"Isn't this the mansion of Hakurochu? I heard that Bai Langzhong is the brother of General Mobei, as the saying goes, if a person ascends to heaven, it is inevitable that his son-in-law will bully others. ”

"What is inevitable, it is clearly a corrupt family style!"

"Although Lord Fang's official position is low, he is a scholar, Miss Fang is also a serious girl who was pampered and raised, and Bai Gongzi was too debauched when he first arrived in the capital."

"We've got a good show today."

At this time, Xie Jiu, the big housekeeper, was not there, and a few little people could only report to the master inside. Bai Zhanjun and his wife were shocked and angry when they got the news, and they couldn't believe it.

Bai Qi is their son-in-law, although he is mediocre in his studies and martial arts, he has a good character, and he is by no means a prodigal son who lingers in the flowers.

"Master, don't be angry first, let's ask him when Qi'er comes back later, I believe there must be a misunderstanding here." While persuading and appeasing Bai Zhanjun, who was black-faced, the Kim family sent the little servant to hurry up and get Bai Qi back.

When they first arrived in the capital with their family, Bai Zhanchun was in a bad mood and depressed in the past few days, Bai Qi and the three brothers did not dare to pestle in front of them, so they each found an excuse to go out and hang out. In the past, when they were in Fuzhou, they were restrained from studying and practicing martial arts, but now that they have just arrived, they have never seen the prosperity and wealth of the capital, and Bai Zhanjun did not bother to ask too much. How could I have thought that such a ridiculous thing would happen today, it is simply unheard of!

Bai Zhanjun almost trembled with anger: "Everyone is making trouble, you are not allowed to protect him." I'm going to break his legs, this bastard! ”

"There have been more liars who have come to the door to make trouble and blackmail these years, Qi'er is not a frivolous child, let's not wronged him." Saying that the Jin family shed tears, Bai Qi is her own son from her belly, and she treats it as an eyeball on weekdays. No matter what the truth of the matter is today, most of the reputation has been ruined, and it will be even more difficult to say that it is good for family affairs in the future.

Suddenly, another little guy stumbled in and replied: "Master, Steward Xie invites the second lady over." As a result, they were stopped at the door, and under the dispute between the two parties, the second lady slapped them hard and scraped their ears. ”

Kim blurted out: "Well played!" ”

Perhaps this is the only time in her life that she admires Bai Muguan so much. Dare to ruin her son's reputation and provoke to the door, she should really have a few more ear scrapers.

On the contrary, Bai Zhansong's brows furrowed even tighter, and he hurriedly walked towards the gate.

It turned out that the family who was making trouble at the door became more and more arrogant, and even scolded Bai Zhanyi. also blamed them for being unlucky, and when they scolded Bai Zhanyi, they happened to be heard by Bai Muguan.

People have rebellious scales, and dare to humiliate and slander her father like this, she didn't think about giving him an ear scraper directly. The other party was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The man covered his hot right cheek, surprised by the strength of the girl in front of him, and asked in shame, "You dare to hit me, who are you?" ”

Bai Muguan raised his chin and replied coldly: "My father is Bai Zhanyi." ”

The man suddenly trembled, quite surprised that she was actually Bai Zhanyi's daughter.

"You're not going to be beaten stupid, are you? Open your eyes and see, our second miss's father is the god of war, General Bai, why don't you hurry up and kneel down and admit your mistake! Beware of the second lady going to His Majesty to sue the royal court, accusing you of slandering the general. Xie Jiu, who was standing next to Bai Muguan, was clever, and he also taught a lesson with a straight face.

"The general is indeed the god of war, defending the family and the country, and making great achievements. But his nephew Bai Qi is not a good person, and insults my daughter's innocence. Before she could finish speaking, the woman in her forties began to weep again, and although the crying of age did not arouse pity, it was broken.

"Regardless of the truth of your words, if Cousin Qi really insults Ling Yan, you should also go to the mansion first and come again. How can a biological father and mother not care about their daughter's reputation and openly make trouble in front of others? You are acting like you are seeking money. Bai Muguan had a sneer on his face and shot back disdainfully.

When the young woman, who had never spoken, heard the last two sentences, her eyes flashed with sadness, and her father and mother loved money more than her. And she had no choice but to follow their arrangement. Moreover, if this matter is successful, she will be able to marry into the Bai family as she wishes, and forever get rid of this pair of fathers and mothers who love money as much as their lives.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhanjun finally came out of it, and when he saw the face of the troublesome man, he was greatly surprised: "Fang Huaiyuan, why are you?" ”

The man known as Fang Huaiyuan regained his interest, and mocked loudly: "I thought that Lord Bai had a smooth career all the way to the promotion, and he didn't remember me!" Your son Bai Qi is bold and dares to despise my daughter, if it weren't for the fact that the two families have a marriage contract, I would have abolished him a long time ago. ”

Engagement?

What a marriage contract!

Not to mention others, even the Kim family is dumbfounded now. She has been married to Bai Zhanchun for 20 years, how can she not know who the Bai family has a marriage contract with?

Bai Zhansong's expression also changed subtly at this moment, and he was no longer blindly angry, but eased slightly: "Let's talk about it when we go in." ”

It seems that it is indeed true, but Jin only feels that his eyes are black, and his heart is finished, it is all over!
