Chapter 53: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Bai Song was enthusiastic, and it was difficult to refuse the official errand.
Before nightfall, I returned to the Sanyuan Restaurant where I went at noon.
This time, there were six more officials, and the group called a full table.
This wine and food did not do much good in Bai Song's heart, but it made the officials covet it.
Although the restaurant is small, it is also upper-class in Pi County.
The price of wine and food is expensive, and the main way to walk the county is traders and tourists.
Very few local people can show their heads here.
It is Yatou, it is rare to drink wine and eat meat here, and when he saw a table of wine and food coming up, Yatou was no longer restrained, raised his wine glass and said to Bai Song: "Bai Gongzi is young, but he is so refreshing, it is really rare." is also a skill, it is a pity to stoop to the Lin family as a son-in-law. After drinking this glass of wine, we will be our own brothers in the future, Lao Xing, I am a few years old as Bai Gongzi, so I cheekily call Gongzi Bai Xian. ”
Bai Song couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, looked carefully at the stubble on Yatou's face and the wrinkles on his forehead, and said in his heart: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as how old you are, right?" ”
Bai Song thought in his heart, but his face was very refreshing, he bowed his hand very happily, drank the turbid wine in the cup, and then made an unbearable attitude, causing the officials to laugh.
"Brother Bai Xian, your amount of alcohol is too far from your medical skills."
Bai Song made a bitter face and explained in a low voice: "If I don't drink enough, in fact, this wine is clumsy and difficult to eat." ”
Lao Xing listened to it and didn't think about it: "Brother Bai Xian, this is biased." If the wine of these three restaurants is difficult to eat, don't you know what kind of wine can be imported in this world? ”
"This wine is turbid, with a lot of miscellaneous flavors, and the smell of wine is too great, which leads to a piercing throat. A real wine should be crystal clear, full of aroma, spicy and stimulating, but the aftertaste is full of fragrance. Good wine should go to the turbidity of the grains, take the essence of the grains, remove the turbidity, and leave the aroma. With just one glass, the building can be filled with the smell of wine, and just smell it can be intoxicating. ”
"Hahaha......" The officials laughed, although they did not say anything to refute, but they showed that there was a lot of disbelief in their hearts.
"Xing Zhutou, it's useless to talk more today, another day the little brother will make his own wine, and he will bring a pot for Xing Zhutou to taste and taste, and see if what I said is true or false."
This was stopped for the time being, and then Bai Rou poured wine for everyone on the side, full of sweet and greasy words of thanks.
The rest of the officials were still indifferent, but Liu Dabao was the only one who looked at Bai Rou's eyes and didn't move.
Among these officials, Liu Dabao is the youngest, and he has not yet married.
Everyone at the table was like a mirror, and they knew what this kid was thinking.
It's just that Liu Dabao had asked before, but he didn't want Bai Song to refuse very resolutely.
Now, even though the brothers have the heart to match, they don't know how to speak.
Xing Zhutou looked at it, sighed, and patted Liu Dabao's shoulder: "Hey, you have to work hard and do a great career in the future, so that the little sister of the Bai family can be impressed." ”
Xing Zhutou's voice was not small, and Bai Song and Bai Rou could understand it.
Bai Song frowned slightly and did not answer.
Bai Rou glanced at her brother, and thought about Liu Dabao's heroic protection before.
Xiao Nizi thought about it, but didn't know what to say, and finally whispered to Xing Zhutou: "Brother said, Bai Rou is still young, and she can't think about marriage before twenty." ”
Bai Rou is not the daughter of the boudoir, and there is not much cowardice when it comes to marriage.
Xing Zhutou listened to it, and only regarded it as Bai Song's excuse, how could a girl get married in her twenties.
immediately smiled bitterly and looked at Liu Dabao.
Liu Dabao was a little disappointed in his eyes, and smiled innocently: "Boss, you are still young, and you have no idea of marrying a wife for the time being, and you will ...... in two years." I'll talk about ...... in two years."
A table of people was discussing, and Bai Song's shoulder was suddenly gently patted.
When Bai Song turned around, he saw a kind old man, estimated to be in his seventies, his face was full of wrinkles, and his body was slightly thin.
Wearing a low-key gray jacket, there is no embroidery, but it is wrapped around a belt inlaid with jade, which looks more luxurious.
A gourd hangs from the belt, the lid opens, and the smell of wine wafts out of it.
Bai Song saw the old man, but he hadn't spoken yet, but after Xing Zhutou looked up and down, he asked softly: "Old man, your face is tight." ”
"Back to the old man, the old man has just moved here, and he lives in the corner of the street from the Sanyuan Restaurant."
Xing Zhutou nodded: "Oh, it turns out that your old man bought a house on Zhengyang Street?" I heard about it today, but I haven't had time to visit yet. ”
The old man smiled and bowed his hand: "In the future, I will ask you to take care of the old man." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
The old man once again set his gaze on Bai Song: "Little brother, I heard you say before, can you brew the really good wine you described in your mouth?" ”
Bai Song looked the old man up and down a few times, and then nodded: "That's right." ”
"Hiss......" the old man smacked his mouth, "I wonder if I can let the old man taste it?" ”
"Naturally, it's fine."
The old man's face was full of joy, but Bai Song's voice immediately changed.
"But we haven't started brewing yet!"
The old man's joy faded away, and he shook his head: "It's a pity." ”
The old man obviously didn't believe it, and an official couldn't help but say: "Old man, I'm afraid you don't know Brother Bai's ability, the epidemic ......"
"Ahem...... Xing Zhutou coughed dryly, planning the words of his subordinates.
Everyone here knows that Bai Song is the old way of blending fairy water.
Although I don't know what the reason is, Brother Bai is reluctant to reveal his identity, so naturally he doesn't want to be known.
The subordinates shut up and laughed dryly and ate the vegetables.
The old man also returned to his seat, and concentrated on drinking, looking intoxicated.
At this moment, another official went upstairs and whispered a few words in Xing Zhutou's ear with a serious expression.
Xing Zhutou's face gradually became gloomy.
After the official finished speaking, he was about to leave, and Bai Song got up: "Brother, drink a glass of wine and then leave......"
"Bai Gongzi, there is still something in the yamen, you drink slowly."
After speaking, he left in a hurry.
At this time, Xing Zhutou stepped forward: "Brother Bai Xian, the person in charge behind the back has already asked." It's just that...... It is estimated that it will be difficult for our brothers to help Brother Bai Xian. ”
"Who the hell is it?"
"Lin Xun, the young master of the Lin family."
"Lin Xun?"
Bai Song didn't have much impression of this person, so he was arrested by the family one night, as if it was Lin Xun who wanted to enforce the family law.
"Buying murder, such a crime, Xing Zhutou can't control it?"
Xing Zhutou smiled bitterly: "If you were someone else, Lao Xing, I would be able to take my brothers to arrest people immediately." If it was the young master of the Lin Mansion, things would be difficult. In this county, the most important thing to offend is the Lin family, not to mention us, even the Chai County Order will not rashly punish the young master of the Lin family. All ethnic groups in the counties of Youzhou are holding each other together, and they are deeply rooted in Youzhou......"
"Understood." Bai Song interrupted softly, "If Xing Zhutou moves the young master of the Lin family, not only Xing Zhutou's job will not be guaranteed, but the brothers' jobs will also not be saved." ”
Xing Zhutou looked embarrassed and sighed: "Brother Bai Xian, if it is really the young master of the Lin family who wants to deal with you, you should be more careful in the Lin Mansion." ”
"I have my own plans for this matter, so I don't have to worry about Xing Zhutou."
It was Lin Xun who secretly instructed!
Bai Song didn't expect it.
Since he knew that someone had made a stumbling block for him, Bai Song naturally would not pretend that nothing had happened.
This kid has to find a way to cure it.
……
When he returned home tonight, Bai Song first settled his sister to sleep.
Then he sneaked to the door of Xiang'er's room.
Xiang'er was about to sleep, when she heard someone knocking on the door, she opened a crack in the door to watch, but was pushed open by Bai Song and slipped in directly.
"You ......"
"Shh......h Xiang'er, you must help me this time. ”
"What the hell is going on? Can't talk about it tomorrow? ”
"No, it's about my sister and my life."
"Life!" Lin Xiang'er suddenly became nervous.
"Your brother Lin Xun, you want to kill me today!"
"How is that possible? Lin Xun has been studying at home all these days, how can he buy murderous ......?"
"Xiang'er, you don't believe me?"
"It's not ......" Lin Xiang'er saw that Bai Song was serious, her face was still a little afraid, and she also twisted her embroidered eyebrows, "It's just ......"
"If you don't believe me, let's go and confront him tomorrow and see what he answers."
Lin Xun is a well-known gentleman in Bi County, and his reputation is very poor.
It has always been Lin Tingzheng's heart disease.
Lin Tingzheng is in this vein, in addition to Lin Xianger and Lin Xun, there is also Lin Xun's sister Lin Zhi.
There is only one man, Lin Xun, and the Lin family's business will only be passed on to him in the future.
But Lin Xun didn't know how to make progress since he was a child, and he was greedy for fun.
At the moment, he is not very old, and he has little impact on the Lin family.
If it continues like this for a long time, it will affect the reputation of the Lin family.
Lin Tingzheng hopes that on this young age review, Lin Xun can show a little limelight among the young children of the family and win some reputation for the Lin family.
Therefore, I specially invited Mr. Luoyang to teach Lin Xun.
Now that the young age review is imminent, Lin Xun himself also feels the pressure.
I haven't wandered outside for half a month, and I honestly learned poetry at home.
Lin Xiang'er thought about it for a long time, but she didn't know whether it was true or not.
So he nodded: "Okay, I'll go to him early tomorrow morning to confront him, if he really dares to do such a bad thing, I will tell my father." ”
"In this way, I am relieved."
Bai Song patted his chest, looking overly frightened.
Lin Xiang'er looked at him and didn't speak for a long time, until her face was slightly red, and then she asked in a low voice: "You...... When are you leaving? ”
"Xiang'er, I almost died outside, you won't be so ruthless that you want to drive me away, right?"
"......" Lin Xiang'er's face turned red, "You...... You're just looking for an excuse to stay ......"
"Xiang'er...... People are scared! ”
Bai Song was full of tears, staring pitifully at Xiao Xiang'er's eyes, at this moment he was the little daughter-in-law who needed protection.
"Lin Xun is your younger brother, he has been afraid of you since he was a child, and with you, he dares to deal with me."
Lin Xiang'er looked embarrassed, looked at Xiao Cui who was sleeping next door, and then looked at her bed, and her voice gradually lowered: "Don't be like that day......"
Bai Song smiled: "Don't worry, I will be beneficial." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Xiang'er, he took off his clothes first and got into the quilt.
Lin Xiang'er frowned, and complained in a low voice: "I just said that I would wait for a while, how can it be like this tonight?" What a liar! ”
After all, people are also like last night, delicately undressed, and delicately burrowed into the quilt.
Tonight, Bai Song Weihou hurriedly took the beauty into his arms, carefully pulled out a silver needle, and gently pierced it somewhere in the back of Xiang'er's head.
