Chapter 62
When the two women heard Bai Zi's faint words, they couldn't answer for a while, and the other women also looked over here, and the two women were suddenly a little embarrassed, so they could only look at each other. And Bai Zi finally relieved their encirclement and said:
"I rarely see people, and the two sisters are not strange." After a pause, he said, "Why don't the two sisters appreciate the plum?" Or, it's good to talk to other people. ”
The round-faced woman said, "It's rare for us to come to the Taiwei Mansion, so we want to make friends with Miss Bai."
"Yes, yes." The slightly darkened woman immediately chimed in.
Bai Zi smiled faintly and said, "Then thank you two sisters." She looked at the two absent-minded women with some teasingness, and said, "The two sisters haven't introduced me yet, the two sisters and the two sisters call it like this, it's weird."
"Oh~" The swarthy woman suddenly realized, and immediately said: "My name is Wang Yan, and my father is Wang Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry."
When Bai Zizi heard this, he smiled and paused, and said, "It turned out to be Sister Wang."
And the round-faced woman also spoke, "My name is Jiang Yushuang, and I am the daughter of Jiang Changfeng of the Hanlin Academy."
Wang Yan immediately opened her mouth to answer this: "Yes, Sister Jiang was born on September 9, so Master Jiang named Sister Jiang according to Cui Shanwei's poem "September 9th".
Bai Zi heard this, and looked at Jiang Yushuang with his glasses, and sure enough, he saw that her eyes were a little uneasy. Bai Zi smiled and greeted Jiang Yushuang affectionately:
"Sister Jiang is the style of the forest, and she has the temperament of a child of a scholarly family."
When Jiang Yushuang heard this, she immediately smiled and said to Bai Zi: "Thank you, Sister Bai."
Bai Zi, who listened to her words, was stunned for a moment, and was a little uncomfortable with this title, so he said quietly: "Sister Jiang call me on my own, be more intimate."
Jiang Yushuang smiled and nodded: "Okay."
And Wang Yan also spoke: "Can I also call you myself?"
Bai Zi looked at her, nodded with a smile, and said, "Of course you can."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan smiled.
Bai said to himself: "It's good to know Sister Wang and Sister Jiang, it's just that my throat is uncomfortable today, I'm sorry." As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yushuang understood, smiled at Bai Zi, and said:
"That way, I won't bother myself."
Seeing this, Wang Yan also said: "Then take care of your throat by yourself, and we will talk about it in the future."
When Bai heard this, he smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Yushuang and Wang Yan returned to their positions and sat on the jade to talk and laugh.
Bai Zi smiled, and it can be seen from this that Jiang Yushuang has a good literary talent, and she also knows how to advance and retreat. And Wang Yan, perhaps, has a gentle temperament, but she lacks some eyes.
All the ladies who came today have brought their own women, and when they see it, they will know what it means. It's just that Bai Jue has reached his age, and he has appearance, knowledge, and background, which has attracted all families to compete for marriage.
Bai Jugao sat on the chair and was silent for a long time, and he didn't know whether Bai Zi and Bai Jue's words were listened to or not.
After a long time, he spoke, and said: "Even if you cut off contact with Queensland, you can't protect the Bai family's ...... in Yuanjing."
Bai Zi smiled and said, "Father, since you have listened to it, listen to Xing'er's thoughts."
When Bai Jugao and Bai Jue heard this, they all looked at her.
Bai Zi said: "What happened before naturally can't be changed. However, it has been a long time since we have returned to Queensland to visit our grandfather, so we can say that we are unaware of this matter. She paused, and then added:
"Now, my brother will soon have a spring break. According to my brother's talent, it is inevitable that he will be in the middle, and besides, my Taiwei Mansion has a big business, and his official position is not small. Therefore, the elder brother will inevitably become the sought after among all the middle students. In this way, the elder brother will be able to gain a foothold among the younger generation. Of course, perhaps some people are more happy to see the Taiwei Mansion fall, and they will have more opportunities. However, Xing'er has checked, among the students who are going to participate in the Spring Festival in Yuanjing, in addition to the elder brother and Ma Dao, then there are two other people who may be in the first place. And those two people have a good temperament and knowledge, so it is safe for my brother to make friends. She said this in one breath, afraid that the two of them would not understand, so she paused for a moment before saying:
"And father, the emperor trusts his father, as long as his father works harder, he will be more able to get the favor of the Son of Heaven, then it is not impossible to get a pardon. In the future, if what his grandfather did is exposed, then this pardon will be given to his brother and leave a trace of incense for the Bai family. ”
"Aunt Yuan, what did you say?!" Bai Jue hurriedly frowned and said, wanting to object to her words.
"Brother, listen to me." Bai admonished him by himself, they were all people who cared about chaos.
When Bai Jue heard this, he glanced at Bai Jugao, Bai Jugao sat quietly on the chair and listened to Bai Jugao's speech, and he also calmed down the restlessness in his heart and regained some of his usual looks.
Bai said to himself: "There will be some people coming over there in Queensland in spring and February, and my father can't stop it." But my father wanted to look at a house outside, and when he came to Yuanjing, he let them live there, and prepare enough food, supplies, and money for them, in case they intended to come to the Taiwei Mansion. If they asked, they said that the Taiwei Mansion was not at peace now, so they let them live outside. The children in Queensland can be seen from the fact that they are greedy and afraid of death, so when they hear this, they will no longer insist on living in the Taiwei Mansion in order to have a face. She pursed the corners of her lips and continued:
"If there is a matter of asking for help from your father in Queensland at that time, don't refuse on the surface, and secretly let people help them, but you can't solve the problem completely, let them know that now the Taiwei Mansion is also in danger, and make the Taiwei Mansion look precarious, after a few more times, presumably Queensland will not trouble my father to do anything for a period of time." When she said this, she smiled suddenly, trying to ease their anxiety a little, before she continued:
"Now because of the incident of Han Zhong in Tongping Zhang, many officials have been dismissed and given to death. Then, there will be many vacancies in official positions. With the emperor's practice of not recruiting officials now, it shows that he wants to remove the students who are awarded this time. If my guess is correct, then my brother will probably become a servant of the ministry. If the elder brother has merit, then the elder brother will probably become the secretary of the ministry. In this way, the elder brother can become a admirer among many new officials. Brother, you will not live up to this opportunity! ”
When Bai Jue heard this, he nodded a little sadly, and suddenly realized that the burden on his body was much heavier.
Bai Jugao said: "Aunt Yuan is reasonable. Now, our grandfather and his wife have actually relied on Aunt Yuan's advice. He was a little self-deprecating, Bai Xi betrayed the holy decree, which had already made him confused and unable to find a direction.
