Xu Wenlan turned his head to look, and saw that next to the chief, Bai Yingfu was holding a wine glass, half-bent over, not knowing what to say, beside him, Bai Lixin lowered his head, looking both tame and humble, facing Bai Shengwen with an indifferent smile.

And it was none other who applauded, it was County Lieutenant Wang: "I think this is a good thing!" It's rare that I, a martial artist, can also be a witness to you literati! I'm looking at it! ”

He turned his face sideways and smiled: "Lord Bai, you see, this little scholar is like you, Si Swenwen, at first glance, he is a person who can read, and when the time comes, your apprentice will also become a jinshi, then you are the one, ah, Confucian!" This is good, peach and plum are all over the world, but it is very good! We martial artists pay attention to this, one day as a teacher and a father for life, and in the future, adults will have an extra boost......"

County Lieutenant Wang said lively, but the smile on Bai Shengwen's face did not have any warmth, it was still only faint.

It's also a shame that County Lieutenant Wang spoke so loudly that even Xu Wenlan, who was far away, understood what was going on.

This Bai Yingfu really thinks about his stepson, not only to let him recognize his ancestors and change his surname to Bai, but also wants Bai Shengwen to accept him as a disciple.

As long as Bai Shengwen accepts this disciple, then Bai Lixin will be a disciple of the county order, not only will he be instructed by Bai Shengwen in terms of knowledge, but it will also be much more convenient to act in Heishui County in the future.

The status of master and apprentice is much stronger than the inexplicable so-called brotherhood.

In the end, it is Uncle Bai, this abacus is really strong.

What's more, Qiao Shi and Bai Yingfu have already made an agreement, so that Bai Yingfu will do his best to say something for his stepson.

Xu Wenlan was thinking about it, and Qiao's voice came from behind him: "Sister-in-law, Wen Lan, my family Lixin is a good boy who recognizes learning, and has long admired Shengwen's talent, if he can worship under Shengwen's door, he will definitely benefit a lot in his studies, and he also begs his sister-in-law and Wen Lan to help the child intercede, let Shengwen accept him as a disciple!" ”

Looking at Qiao's sincere expression, Xu Wenlan smiled and said calmly: "My eldest brother is just a Jinshi, he himself often says that his talent is still shallow, but he is a branch of Kunshan Pianyu and Guilin, and he is nothing in front of the Great Confucian, but I am afraid that he will not dare to accept disciples." ”

Xu Wenlan just said this, and Bai Shengwen was really modest: "The knowledge is still shallow, how dare you mislead people's children?" What's more, the students in this county are all disciples of the county's teachings, and Shengwen himself is taught by Meng's teachings, how dare he be beautiful? ”

County Lieutenant Wang raised his eyebrows: "You scholars, you are so exquisite, it's just a matter of watching the excitement." Brother Zhu, it's better for us to drink! ”

Old Man Zhu laughed and took a glass: "Drink, drink......"

Sun Xiancheng said the wrong thing just now, but he didn't interject, just laughed.

Lu Xian Ling stroked his beard and shook his head slightly, not knowing whether he was tasting the aftertaste of the wine or making an article in his stomach again.

Cheng Yu turned sideways to look at Bai Shengwen, and whispered a few words in his ear, although he couldn't hear what he said, but looking at Bai Shengwen's smile, it was clear that he had said something interesting.

Bai Shengwen didn't find it funny.

What do you mean by "this is just the beginning"? Do you mean all this mess in his family? Or is he going to have to be after being watched by these treacherous officials?

Either way, he didn't really like it.

Thinking about prevarication, Bai Shengwen was thinking about how to speak, but he didn't want Old Man Bai to suddenly say: "Shengwen, I see that your third uncle also sincerely wants to let Lixin apprentice, why don't you just respond!" Lixin is your cousin, not another outsider, and I don't think that Meng Dao Zhao will be annoyed by you because of this. ”

As he spoke, Old Man Bai pushed Bai Yingkui again, which meant to let Bai Yingkui also persuade.

Bai Yingkui also frowned and didn't make a sound.

He is not reluctant to do his son's business, if he wants to say smart, which daughter-in-law and son are not smarter than him? Since his son wants to refuse, he can't hold back no matter what.

But Bai Yingfu has the support of Old Man Bai, how can he not strike while the iron is hot?

"Shengwen, what your father said couldn't be more right, you see, Lixin is your cousin, and then he becomes your apprentice, that is, he will serve you like a father for the rest of his life, accept such a disciple, and you will be blessed in the future." Besides, we are all members of the Lao Bai family, don't we have to help each other? ”

Still a father?

Bai Shengwen's eyes swept away, revealing a little coldness in his eyes.

If he hadn't been the one who liked to scare people, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to help but speak ill of people at this time.

"Third Uncle ......"

Before he called, Bai Yingfu had already shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Big guy, did you say it?" It's not all like this in our tunzi, if you are brothers, you have to help each other, so that the family can prosper! This man is like the tree, a lonely tree, which will break when the wind comes, and if it becomes a forest, he will not be afraid of the wind. ”

The one who was sitting far away was patronizing the food just now, and they didn't even notice what was going on in the chief. There are also those who sit close to each other, knowing what is going on, but not taking it too seriously.

Just like Bai Yingfu said, it's normal for brothers to help, the countryside is like this, and there are those who have a good relationship with Bai Yingfu, and then coax: "It's this reason......"

For a while, many people shouted along.

Bai Shengwen was annoyed, but he couldn't show it.

The third uncle asked his stepson to worship him as a teacher, I am afraid that learning is still secondary, mainly to use his reputation to act conveniently. For a person like the third uncle, how can he rest assured, and how dare he rest assured that he will accept any apprentices?

But if he gets angry at this time and refuses to agree, what will these folks think?

was embarrassed about how to answer, Bai Shengwen suddenly heard a chuckle, but it was Xu Wenlan who walked over with a smile and said crisply: "The third uncle said it so well, isn't this the reason?" It's also a good thing to say that my eldest brother has taken in a new apprentice. However, third uncle, you also said just now, you can't make a forest alone, these brothers help each other, the more people, the better! I don't think it's as good as this, since my eldest brother wants to accept apprentices, then take a few more, Lixin is a good boy in their life, and they can't just accept him and leave other brothers behind. Boshan! ”

first shouted Zhu Boshan, although he saw Zhu Boshan's reluctance, Xu Wenlan didn't take it to heart at all, and waved at Zhu Ping'an: "Xiao Ping'an is also here!" Ah, by the way, there is also Bai An of the second uncle's family, who is also a smart child, and he is good at studying, so he should be accepted with him. It's just that he's not here at this time...... Third uncle, it's better to be like this, when even Xiao An is flat another day, the four of them will get together together, and then let them apprentice together! In this way, it is good to be a companion. ”
