Chapter 14 I saw that I was tired
Bai Jian is very popular in the court, as long as there is no accident, after Cui Yuan Zhishi, it is very likely that Bai Jian will be promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, if the Ye family can climb this kind of marriage, the Mu family will definitely rise.
"It's up to you!" Bai Jian looked at her with a smile, and he really had a good impression of her in his heart.
Ye Yun behind the screen smiled faintly, Bai Jian was able to save her sister, it can be seen that he is a good person, if Ye Xi can marry him, it is not a bad thing, of course, the premise is that Ye Xi likes Bai Jian.
In Ye Yun's eyes, the most important condition for a woman to marry a man is that she likes each other, and her family background and appearance are secondary.
"What kind of chess does the girl play on weekdays?" Bai Jian asked,
"Backgammon, what do you think?" Ye Xi raised his big eyes and asked him,
Bai Jian bowed his head and said that according to her, he would naturally depend on her.
Ye Xi set up the chessboard, and said to Bai Jian with a smile: "Let's start, my lord, close your eyes!" ”
Bai Jian suddenly laughed, and Mu Xu and the others also laughed, "This girl is naughty, I hope you will forgive me!" ”
"Innocent!" Bai Jian had a smile on his face, and then closed his eyes.
These four words are definitely Bai Jian's high evaluation of a woman, and the Mu family secretly exchanged glances, and their hearts were overjoyed.
Ye Yun stood at the gap of the screen, his eyes fell on the chess game, and his fingers were close to the gap, so that Ye Xi could see her gestures.
Yes, let Bai Jian play chess with his eyes closed, just to facilitate Ye Yun to command Ye Xi.
Ye Xi began to play chess, and every time she made a move, she read it out, Bai Jian made a move according to her chess, and then Ye Xi looked at Ye Yun at the screen, and then played chess according to Ye Yun's gestures. The sisters were so secretive that no one found out.
In the entire flower hall, except for Bai Jian, everyone regarded this game as a child's play, as a game for Bai Jian to evaluate the Ye family's girl.
Only Bai Jian himself, every time he heard Ye Xi's son, the familiar feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He had only played chess with her three times, but he knew the chessboard when she played chess with others, and he knew her moves, her strategies, and her moves far better than others thought.
There was a strange wave churning in Bai Jian's heart, and his mind was difficult to calm down for a long time.
He closed his eyes, and instead felt like he was playing against her.
Why? Who is this Ye Xi? Why is it so much like Su Yuna?
To everyone's surprise, Bai Jian lost to Ye Xi. Only Bai Jian himself knows that in the middle of reason, how could he win the chess move of "Su Yun'er" when he was in a bad mood and his eyes were closed.
"Miss Ye, you won!" Bai Jian opened his eyes and showed a warm smile.
To his surprise, he saw Ye Xi visibly relieved, and then smiled sweetly.
He felt a little strange, and he couldn't say what was strange.
Mu Xu laughed, and said angrily at Ye Xi: "Look at your happy appearance, Bai Ge Lao is just playing with you at will, let you just do it, don't really think that you are good at chess!" ”
Bai Jian laughed and didn't refute, there was no point in arguing about this.
Ye Xi knew that Grandpa Tang deliberately gave Bai Jian the stairs, and pursed his lips to be embarrassed.
The Mu family inside and outside the screen didn't take winning or losing seriously, and Bai Jian let the little girl go, no matter what, it can be seen that Bai Jian is interested in Ye Xi.
"Lord Bai, since you lost, can you grant the little girl a request?" Ye Xi remembered Ye Yun's explanation.
Bai Jian was slightly stunned, this girl is so bold, his daughter is about the same age as her, and she is not as bold as she is to talk to him.
"Say, as long as I can agree, I will naturally promise you!" Bai Jian took the tea handed over by the maid, leaned on the back of the round chair, and looked at her leisurely.
Ye Xi got up and bowed generously, "Yesterday, the little girl couldn't find out the difference between the original work of "Autumn Forest Map" and the imitation, I regret it, since the little girl won Lord Bai today, can the adult give me the imitation of Miss Su Er!" ”
Her watery eyes were as moving as a cat's claws, but Bai Jian didn't see a familiar shadow there.
He put down the teacup, straightened his clothes, hooked the corners of his lips and said: "Miss Ye, there is only one chance, I didn't get it last time, I don't necessarily give it a chance, besides, before playing chess today, didn't you say that the painting was a colorful head?" ”
He had a playful smile.
Hearing this, Mu Xu hurriedly excused herself, "Elder Ge, she is a pampered little girl, and I hope you don't bother with her." ”
Everyone was completely impressed by Ye Xi, and they didn't expect her to be so out of character today, and she dared to argue with Bai Jian.
Ye Xi was frustrated, and couldn't help but glance at the screen uneasily, pinching the handkerchief at a loss.
My sister asked her to take the opportunity to make that request, but Bai Jian didn't agree, what should I do? My sister seems to want to get the painting, and last night she couldn't put it down when she held the painting of Mr. Lin.
Bai Jian glanced at the screen without a trace of her line of sight, and was surprised by Ye Xi's actions again.
The uneasiness and disappointment in her eyes just now did not escape his eyes, why did she want Su Yun'er's painting so much?
Bai Jian naturally didn't embarrass the little girl, and immediately added: "If you have any other wishes, I will try my best to help you achieve them!" ”
Mu Xu was shocked when he heard this, Bai Jian actually said such a thing, it was too much to give Ye Xi face, he completely loved her and couldn't bear her sadness. This Ye Xi is really lucky!
Almost everyone in the flower hall took a breath.
Ye Yun in the screen had already turned to the side at the end of the chess game, standing quietly in the bamboo forest that seemed to be outside the flower hall and did not speak.
Bai Jian is really, what's the point of him keeping that painting?
Ye Xi has opened his mouth to this point, but he still refuses, which shows that it is not easy to get it back in the future.
Ye Xi, who was outside, heard Bai Jian's words asking her to make a request, her eyes rolled for a moment, and what she said in her heart at that moment was naturally that she wanted him to help her father arrange a good errand.
It's just that she knows that once she makes this request, it will definitely appear frivolous and snobbish, but self-defeating.
She smiled obediently: "If the adults can't send the "Autumn Forest Map", the little girl has no other requirements, and it is a blessing for the little woman to be able to play against the adults today!" "She was blessed.
Bai Jian nodded again and again, appreciating it very much, this little girl knows how to advance and retreat, it can be seen that the Ye family has a good way to teach her daughter, and Ye Huai must be a good character.
He straightened his sleeves and got up, put his hands behind his back and replied: "Since I said this, I naturally want to honor it, don't worry, I will try my best to deal with the thing you are worried about!" ”
Mu Xu then stood up, his heart tightened, he had already heard what Bai Jian meant, and Mu Shi inside also covered his chest in surprise and held back his breath.
Bai Jian meant that he promised to arrange an errand for Ye Huai!
OMG, great!
The stone in Muhammad's heart fell. Mu Xu also bowed to Bai Jian, but did not speak.
Everyone is an old fox in officialdom, and it is clear at all.
Ye Xi also understood, and gave a gift again, bowing his head very embarrassed.
Bai Jian got up and was naturally ready to leave, but he remembered the purpose of his coming today, and said with a smile: "How did the congratulatory gift for my mother come from yesterday?" He asked Ye Xi.
Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, and just now he had compared the matter of solving the chess game with Ye Yun yesterday, but he didn't expect Bai Jian to ask about the Linglong box.
I have to ask Ye Yun about this, but obviously he can't answer like this at this moment, Ye Xi is really smart, and immediately blinked and replied: "It was my father who ordered people to look for it in Jiangnan!" ”
Bai Jian's eyes narrowed, paused for a moment, nodded and didn't ask more, that handicraft was very favored by him, in addition to the exquisite box itself, there was another reason, that is, he liked handicrafts very much, and there were very few people who knew this.
He himself is also very good at studying handicrafts, last night he played all night, and saw traces that others can't see, the handicrafts are freshly made, and not long after, Ye Xi said that Ye Huai sent people to look for them in Jiangnan, this answer is obviously not true.
This means that Ye Xi doesn't know the true origin of the gift at all.
He thought about it all night last night, and almost concluded that the Ye family knew about his preference temporarily, and then found someone to build it overnight.
So who gave the handicrafts as they liked, and sent a piece of the boutique of the door!
Bai Jian went on this trip, but he didn't get the answer he wanted, but became more and more confused.
"Thank you!" After Bai Jian finished saying these two words, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Mu Xu couldn't figure out his temper at all, Bai Jian looked obviously a little disappointed after asking this question, but Ye Xi's answer was actually a good answer, just right to push his father out, and let Bai Jian take the credit for the congratulatory gift to Ye Huai.
It's just that the Mu family obviously didn't know what Bai Jian's real purpose was, so Mu Xu had to say a few words of greeting and leave food or something, but Bai Jian refused.
Everyone sent off guests, but at this time, when Bai Jian was about to go out, a little light flashed in his mind, and an idea popped up.
Why not lure the snake out of the hole!
He paused, turned his head to look at Ye Xi, who was standing in the hall and watched him, and said: "Girl, in a month, there will be a Goose Lake poetry meeting on the Xunli Building by the Yudai River, imitating the talent competition of Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty, if you really want to get the imitation of Su Er's girl, you will have a chance to come that day!" ”
After saying this, Bai Jian smiled and left, leaving Ye Xi with a back as slender as pine and bamboo.
What do you mean, what do you call you!
Ye Yun in the screen shook his head and smiled.
Bai Jian really deserves to be an old fox, but Ye Xi still couldn't hide it from him.
Rao is like this, Bai Jian's behavior still surprised the Mu family.
Even Mu Xu and Mrs. Zhou almost decided that Bai Jian had taken a fancy to Ye Xi. But Ye Xi himself disagreed.
After sending Bai Jian away, Mrs. Zhou left Mu and Ye Xi to eat in the long room, and also explained a few words carefully. Listening to what they meant, it seemed that Ye Xi was going to be an old lady in the pavilion, and Ye Xi was so ashamed that he was about to drill into the cracks.
However, Mrs. Zhou was steady in the end, and she didn't reveal the slightest rumor about this, and only told people that Bai Jian asked Mrs. Ye Xilin about it, and she didn't have a word yet, and she didn't dare to say too much.
But it is a fact that Bai Jian is impressed with the Ye family. It's finally a matter of heart.
The Mu family and the Ye family were very happy, but Ye Yun was the only one who became bored. Bai Jian is equivalent to giving her a war letter.
What to do? Should or shouldn't?
She never bothered about such things in her previous life, but after being reborn, for the sake of the Su family, I am afraid that she will have to plan and calculate step by step.
