CHAPTER XLII
On the morning of the second day, a burst of firecrackers came and woke up the sleeping Bai Zi, she turned over and opened her eyes, still a little stunned, this early morning ...... What for?
At this time, Zhu'er walked in and called to Bai Zi, who was facing away from her in the bead curtain: "Miss? Got up. ”
Bai smothered his head into the quilt, and made a muffled "um" and then fell silent, leaving Zhu'er standing in place.
Halfway through, Zhu'er was about to continue to call her, but she heard Bai Zi muttering and asked, "What time is it?"
Zhu'er: "It's time for Shen."
Bai turned over on his own, facing the beam above his head, but his eyes still didn't open, and he muttered, "...... so early"
Zhu'er: "Zhu'er heard that today is the day when adults give out copper coins."
Bai Zi, who heard this, opened her eyes suddenly, but she forgot that Bai Jue had hit Tanhualang, and it was time to scatter copper coins.
She reached out and rubbed her temples that were a little swollen, and said slowly, "Zhu'er, come and help me get up."
"Yes."
Yes, the person who came was Bai Zi, she looked at the few people in front of her with a sneer, in addition to Bai Chuncai and Bai Wanli, there was also a woman, called Bai Chaoge, and Bai Wanli's whip was snatched by Leshui, and Dequan saw Bai Zi, and hurriedly ran over and stood next to her. The three of them all looked at her with frowns, wanting to take her under control.
Bai Zi sneered: "The upbringing of the children of Queensland is so low?"
As soon as these words came out, the three people on the other side all glared at her angrily, and Bai Chaoge said, "Do you know what you're talking about?!" We're relatives of Lord Taiwei! ”
Bai raised his chin and said lightly: "I naturally know who you are, but, is it possible that you are so stupid that you don't know who I am?"
Bai Zi's rhetorical question made the three people on the opposite side suddenly look at each other, and their hearts suddenly lost their foundations, and Bai Chun asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Bai Zi sneered, and Dequan next to him immediately said: "This is Miss Yan of the Taiwei Mansion, Bai Zi."
When the three people on the opposite side heard this, their momentum suddenly collapsed, and Bai Chuncai immediately made a fool of himself and apologized: "Chuncai really doesn't know that it's a cousin, please don't blame my cousin." After speaking, he stabbed Bai Wanli and Bai Chaoge, who were still standing stupidly next to him. The two came back to their senses and bent down to apologize to her, but there was some anger on that face.
Bai Zi squinted his eyes, didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "It is my father's intention to let you live in this house, if you don't want to live, you can move to another place."
When the three of them heard this, they were all incredulous, what she said, could it be that a few of them moved out to find a house by themselves? !
Bai Wanli couldn't help it, and said, "What do you mean by this?!"
Bai Zi was calm: "That's what you heard."
But the three people on the other side didn't want to listen to this, so Bai Chun said, "Grandfather ordered us to live in the Taiwei Mansion."
Bai Zi: "That's my grandfather's words, not the words of the Taiwei Mansion." Now that the Taiwei Mansion is in danger, how can I protect you? If it weren't for the sake of the same clan and clan, how could he still buy a house for you? ”
Bai Chun listened to her words, but he was shocked by what she said, "The Taiwei Mansion is not in danger", he was stunned and asked, "What do you say about the Taiwei Mansion?"
Bai raised his eyebrows: "Officials need to do things with trepidation, not to use the power in their hands to seek wealth and power for the children of the clan. The Taiwei Mansion has a clean breeze on both sleeves, and naturally there is no extra spare money to squander the clan's side branches, so he made this decision. It can not only make the Taiwei Mansion less gossip, but also allow you to show your ability. In other words, the rumors that the Bai family has loved money like life for generations and that money makes money are not false. She smiled and said, "Well, it's up to you." ”
She deliberately spoke for example, that is, she was on guard, afraid that if they were not careful, they would leak out of her mouth. Now, even if it is said that it is leaked, there is still room for explanation.
Hearing her words, Bai Wanli immediately said: "But this is in Yuanjing, if there is no one to protect us, how can we survive as we want?!"
Bai Zi: "You really dare to say this, the Taiwei Mansion doesn't dare to say that you can do whatever you want, just rely on you, I'm afraid that with the blessing of the Son of Heaven, you can't do it."
Bai Wanli listened to her words, and was depressed, Bai Chaoge said: "Are you looking down on us?!"
Bai Zi smiled faintly and said: "If you want others to look at it, you don't rely on lip service, but really down-to-earth."
But Bai Chun, who heard this, wanted to struggle again: "But grandfather's life ......"
Bai Zizi smiled suddenly, and said, "Grandfather's order is just to let the Taiwei Mansion help you." However, there are countless officials and nobles in Yuanjing, not to mention that this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even if the Taiwei Mansion helps you, don't say what you want, and it will be impeached by the imperial history. For the sake of everyone's lives, it's better to settle down. "She deliberately exaggerated things to make them settle down.
It's a pity that everything she did before ruined this good feeling.
Bai Zhan spoke: "There is nothing to argue about in this matter. Jue'er has done her best, and when the list is posted, she will naturally know. ”
At this time, Bai Ji interjected: "I think Brother Jue must be the eye of the example!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed, and it was rare for her to look extremely well-behaved, but it was likable.
Bai Zi said: "My brother's strength is obvious to everyone. This year's Zhigongju is an old gentleman again, so naturally he will not bury his brother, a great talent who lives up to his reputation. ”
Bai Jue was terrible when he heard this, and accused Bai of raising him up and talking nonsense, but his face was full of smiles, full of pride.
Bai Zi had already seen through his appearance, but fortunately, he was just secretly complacent, and it was okay to listen to her good words.
Bai Jugao, who was sitting at the top, glanced at everyone and said, "It's rare today's day, let's have lunch together."
This is a good feeling, but none of the people who have just come have had lunch, and now they are feeling hungry, and when it comes to eating, they get a happy response.
Bai Jue smiled and said in a calm tone: "What about Bai Ke, why don't you come?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was pale, and Bai Jugao scolded him directly: "Jue'er, pay attention to words!"
Bai Jue was stunned, bowed his head and said, "Yes."
Originally, she thought that she would break off from the Bai family in Queensland, but now she knows that there may be someone behind Bai Xi, who has great power and a lot of people in his hands, and maybe the Taiwei Mansion can't be provoked, so maybe the Taiwei Mansion can't be separated from the Queensland side.
