Chapter Twenty-Nine: Coming Out on Top

The horse farm in Princess Heshun's Mansion is not something that ordinary children can go to, this kind of amusement project for noble sons and brothers, the young masters in the mansion usually don't get invitations, and the old lady rarely cares.

Seeing that Chen was so interested, she thought about it for a while, and asked curiously and expectantly: "Look at you so happy, is it Shikai?" ”

"No, just the brother in our house, guess who the old lady is?"

The old lady was surprised and confused, "Our house?" ”

Chen's jaw head.

"Brother Qi?"

Chen waved his hand, stepped forward and said directly: "You must not believe it, it is Brother Heng." ”

The old lady was incredulous: "He? After a pause, he asked uncertainly: "You are not mistaken?" ”

"Naturally, I won't look bad, this aunt and nephew under the same roof, can the daughter-in-law even admit her own family mistake?"

Chen stood next to her and said in a smug tone: "Brother Heng went to the princess's mansion horse farm with his nephew, so many sons of princes and clansmen were present, and he won the first place. ”

The old lady's face was complicated, and she still couldn't believe it. Her impression of Bai Heng has always been that she is unlearned and unskilled, and she is a civil and military worker.

Chen looked excited, and said: "The competition organized by Princess Heshun and the only son of Grandpa Chengguo, Wei Ling Shizi, also set up a golden bow given by the emperor as a lottery head, and many people have ended, but Brother Heng stood out and took the first place.

Now Wei Shizi is inviting everyone to Tianmanlou to drink, it is really lively, just for the demeanor of Brother Heng, several sisters in our house are beautiful at the banquet, and many people have come to make friends, Brother Heng is really for our white family. ”

Seeing that she said so eloquently, the old lady was also happy in her heart, "He only knows how to play on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be the first to play." In the field of Weiling Shizi, the people who went there must have a good identity, and this Heng Ge'er really has a face. This kid can't study since he was a child, and if he can make progress in riding and shooting, it would be good. ”

"Not really! In the past, I only knew that Brother Heng'er was promising, but I didn't expect Brother Heng'er to be inferior, and now the old lady has a proud grandson. ”

The old lady smiled, and ordered someone to send a lot of things to Bai Heng's Yanque Tower.

In the evening, when Bai Jing was in the Hanyu Hall, he saw the old lady talking to Bai Heng who came to thank him, and his ancestors and grandchildren were harmonious and happy.

She entered the house and saluted, "I have seen my grandmother and my second brother. ”

Bai Heng wore a refreshing embroidered bamboo leaf brocade robe, looking a gentleman and humble, and also said to her: "Be a good sister." ”

"It's all my own brother and sister, don't be formal."

The old lady's words fell, and she looked at Bai Jinghao kindly and said: "Your second brother won the first place in the racecourse today, and the prince of Wei Ling gave the color head and invited them to drink, so your second brother invited them to come to the house tomorrow to have a drink." Just in time for your birthday party, everyone is lively. ”

Bai Jing looked at Bai Heng puzzled, and stopped talking a little, and then said, "It's all up to grandmother's arrangement." ”

Bai Heng saw that she was restrained, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be nervous, we are all eating and drinking in the outer courtyard, at most come in to give gifts and congratulations, you just have to accept the gifts." ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "That's it, let's have a good time." Brother Heng, you are so good, make friends with everyone's children and walk around, neither your father nor I will talk about you, and you are not allowed to go to the market in the future! ”

Bai Heng said obediently: "In the past, my grandson was confused, and I asked my grandmother to forgive me." ”

There was a lot of laughter in the hall.

After a while, the maid said outside: "Old lady, the eldest young master is here." ”

"Come in, please."

Bai Qi is the son-in-law of Bai Sheng and Qin Rou, although he is only sixteen, he has already won the Jinshi the year before last, and he is valued by the house.

The old lady had an opinion on the eldest daughter-in-law, but she loved Bai Qi very much, and when she saw him enter the house, she beckoned him to come along.

Bai Xuan glanced at Bai Heng next to him lightly, and his tone was inexplicable: "The second brother is very beautiful today, not to mention the victory over Cousin Shikai and Wei Shizi, even the prince of Yunxi Wangfu, who is good at riding and shooting, is not your opponent." ”

Bai Heng said modestly: "The eldest brother has a good reputation, they all conceded it, and I was just lucky." ”

Bai Qian looked at him and seemed to be smiling: "It's really a person who can't be seen, I didn't find out when I was a brother in the past." ”

The old lady heard the sourness in the eldest grandson's words, and was slightly displeased, isn't it good to have many outstanding people in the family?

She asked seriously: "Brother Qi came over so late, but is there something?" ”

Bai Qian rubbed his hands together and said respectfully: "My grandson is here to ask my grandmother about going to the Zongyu Marquis Mansion tomorrow to celebrate my sister's birthday." After speaking, he looked at Bai Jinghao meaningfully.

"There will be a banquet at home tomorrow, and your sister Jinyao's banquet will be arranged with the help of your grandmother and aunts, so I won't go, stay at home with your sister, she just passed her birthday two days ago."

"Since it's all over, why celebrate your birthday? Grandmother didn't forget that when she sent invitations out of the house, she invited guests to celebrate Jin Yao's birthday. Bai Qi's face was serious and unsmiling.

The old lady frowned.

Bai Heng spoke: "Big brother, I have read the invitation, it only says the birthday of our young lady, but it does not emphasize whether it is Sister Jinyao or Sister Jinghao." Besides, Sister Jin Yao has gone to the Hou Mansion here, so she can't let the family lose her word to the guests, right? Moreover, I just talked to Wei Shizi and them, tomorrow my family will be happy with my sister's birthday, and I invite them to bring their sisters over to play. ”

Bai Xuan looked over with sharp eyes, and examined it carefully, as if he didn't know the brother in front of him.

The old lady was very surprised and asked, "Brother Heng, what you said is true?" Are they going to bring their ladies to the door? ”

Bai Heng replied seriously: "Grandson doesn't dare to lie, Wei Shizi's sister Qinglong County Lord is the first to come over." ”

The old lady smiled, although the lintel of the Bai family is not low, there is still a gap between it and those royal relatives and hereditary meritorious titles in Beijing. Over the years, there have been many big and small banquets in Baifu, and it is rare to invite these nobles, but I didn't expect that the small birthday banquet could actually invite a pair of children of Princess Heshun.

But she became anxious and complained, "Why didn't you just say it? Since the county lord of Qinglong is coming, she must be the only one, and the banquet has to be prepared again. Ah, go back and rest early, and take care of your spirits and entertain your guests tomorrow. ”

After she finished speaking, she went to call the maid again, "Cuizhi, quickly bring me tomorrow's menu again." ”

Seeing this, Bai Qi was dissatisfied, and was about to speak, but Mama Su preemptively said, "Two young masters, go back." ”

Without waiting for Bai Xuan to react, Bai Heng said goodbye: "Then let's go first, Mama remembers to serve her grandmother to rest earlier." ”

Bai Qi came, but before he could say anything serious, he was kicked out.

He was in a very bad mood, and when he walked outside the hospital, he couldn't help it, "Second brother, you really impress me." ”

Bai Heng arched his hand at him very politely, and grinned: "Big brother refers to when he is on the horse farm today?" I saw that everyone was in high spirits, and I played two games with the world, but I didn't expect Wei Shizi to hold me and let me leave. ”

She shook her head as she spoke, and sighed: "It's really not that I deliberately want to rob you of your prestige, the eldest brother is open-minded, and he will definitely not worry about the younger brother, right?" ”

Bai Qian ignored it, raised his feet and strode away.

Bai Jinghao walked over, "Second brother, are you talking to your eldest brother like this?" ”

"I've endured him for many years, I don't show my hands, he still thinks that he is powerful in the whole house!"

Bai Heng was rarely unstable, raised his eyebrows and asked her with a smile: "Ah Hao, is the second brother very beautiful today?" It's a pity that you didn't go, I also went to the Shen family to find Shikai and asked him to take me with me. ”

Bai Jing knew that he had the ability, but he didn't expect that he would be so powerful, and he would have a reputation among the children of your family, and gradually he could be valued in the house.

She nodded, "It's amazing." ”

Bai Heng smiled indulgently: "Okay, there are a lot of things tomorrow, go back and rest, Ming'er will appear in front of the guests beautifully." ”

"Second brother, thank you."

Bai Heng said "um" and looked at her inquiringly.

Bai Jinghao blinked, and explained his intentions, "I know, you are worried that Jin Yao will suddenly come back from the Marquis Zongyu Mansion tomorrow, and you are afraid that I will be embarrassed by then, so you specially invited those people with status to come over, and they all said that it was my birthday banquet, so Jin Yao would not be able to snatch it back." ”

Bai Heng was stared at by her so seriously, her ears were slightly red, and she looked away unnaturally, "You're smart." ”
