Chapter 169: The Prime Minister's Concierge Seven-Rank Official
"Excuse me. Is this the Bai family?"
Bai Quangang's drowsiness was disturbed by this sound, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but scold without opening his eyes:
"What are you shouting, you are unlucky, don't you see that Ye is taking a nap!"
After saying this, Bai Quancai reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at it, his face full of annoyance.
This is also what he preemptively thinks that the other party is a small character from the other party's words, so he dares to treat it so presumptuously, because who in Jiangzhou City doesn't know the Bai family, do you still need to ask.
Bai Quan finally saw clearly that the person who was talking in front of him was a twenty-one or twelve-year-old man, barely handsome, and a half-worn green shirt. From the inside out, a bookish atmosphere is revealed, and it is clearly a scholar with weak literature.
Seeing this, Bai Quan didn't dare to slack off.
In the eyes of ordinary people, scholars are naturally very status-oriented, but Bai Quan looks at his deeds, but he is arrogant. Although it is extremely clean and tidy, you can tell at first glance that it is old clothes, and I am afraid that there is no reason for it.
Seeing this situation, Bai Quan naturally became arrogant again, he glanced at the scholar, and seemed to remember the other party's question at the beginning, so he asked casually:
"What are you doing in our Bai family? We don't have to recruit an accountant here, so let's leave quickly! My Bai family's account office is not so easy to handle. It's not from anyone who doesn't know how to accept it, so let's go find a guarantor first. ”
Relying on his previous experience, Bai Quan immediately concluded that this shabby scholar must be a whimsical errand who wanted to get an account in the Bai family, and he had seen a lot of such people.
"I'm not looking for a job manager...... Bai Yingtian is my uncle, this is a letter that my family asked me to bring to my uncle!" After listening to Bai Quan's words, the scholar took out a letter from his bosom and explained to Bai Quan.
"What? The lord is an uncle!"
Bai Quanzheng felt that his mouth was dry, and when he wanted to pick up a large tea jar nearby and pour a few sips, he was suddenly frightened by the scholar's words and directly squirted the tea out of his mouth, and asked in shock.
"Yes...... My family asked me to call my uncle that. The scholar scratched his head, a little shy on his face.
But this time, Bai Quan didn't dare to laugh at the other party easily, in case this person really had something to worry about with his own family master, he wouldn't have any good fruit to eat.
So he hesitated, and then asked cautiously:
"Can you let the little one take a look at this letter? Childe, please rest assured, I just look at the cover below, and I will never dare to open it!"
The scholar listened to what Bai Quan said, but nodded in agreement unexpectedly, and handed him the letter.
Bai Quan took the neatly folded letter and hurriedly glanced at it.
Although there are few ordinary people who can read and write, Bai Quan went to private school for half a year when he was a child, and he can also read and write. Because of this, the job of concierge, which is the envy of countless subordinates, can fall on his head.
"Ying Tianxian's nephew inspired. ”
The big black characters on the envelope made Bai Quan's heart jump for a while. It seems that the tone is still the elder of the head of his own family.
Thinking of this, Bai Quan's face immediately changed, and he tried to squeeze out a few smiles, and said to the scholar:
"This young master, my lord is not here, but several ladies are in the house, do you want to transfer this letter to Mrs.?" Bai Quan couldn't help but change his attitude greatly, and even his title was immediately upgraded.
"This can't be done, this letter must be opened and read by the uncle himself!" the scholar shook his head and said.
"In this case, why don't I go back to the eldest lady first and see how the eldest lady will reply to the young master?"
Bai Quan didn't dare to let the scholar leave, in case there was really something important and he was delayed, then he would be unlucky. But if it is handed over to the eldest lady to deal with, it doesn't matter to him, Bai Quan has been a descendant in the world for such a long time. There is still a place for this scheming.
This time, the scholar agreed.
After Bai Quan breathed a sigh of relief, he hurriedly beckoned a passing subordinate to help him keep an eye on the scholar temporarily. And he ran to the house.
The other subordinates I met were a little surprised to see him burning his ass like this!
Bai Quan ran directly to the backyard, and after saying a few words to a maid beside a big lady in the inner courtyard, he returned to the gate with peace of mind and waited for a reply.
Bai Quangang, who returned to the door, smiled a few words with the scholar, and a handsome little maid came over at a trot.
Walking up to the two of them, she glanced at the bookish scholar with great interest, and then dictated the words of the eldest lady. Let this scholar go to a side room to rest first, and then come back to determine whether his identity is true or false, after all, there are indeed many people in the Bai family, maybe it is really the elder in the side room who has something to come to the door.
Now that the above has something to say to deal with this matter, Bai Quan is at ease and continues to guard the gate of his land.
And the little maid took the scholar to the room where the guests were temporarily entertained.
Halfway through, many people looked at him in surprise when they saw the shabby scholar, speculating about the origin of this scholar.
This made the little girl who saw this scene couldn't help laughing, and looked at the scholar again with a smile.
After placing the scholar in a wing room in the front yard, the little maid told the scholar a few words not to run around, and then went back to his life with a smile.
As soon as the little maid left the house, the young man who originally looked like a shabby scholar suddenly stood up, and the bookish aura in his eyes disappeared suddenly, and the whole person exuded a faint and dusty atmosphere, how could there be the slightest sour and rotten scholar.
"Hey, I've played the role of a scholar again. The young man looked in the direction of the room, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself.
He was flying at full speed, and after half a month of hard work, he finally arrived at Lu Xu in Jiangzhou City, and the Bai family was the object of the Bai Peak Lord of the Bihan Peak of the Sect who asked him to help.
However, as soon as Lu Xu remembered the identity that Lord Bai Feng had arranged for him, he couldn't help but be very depressed.
In the letter, he actually asked the head of the Bai family to arrange for him to be a descendant of the Bai family, and let Lu Xu pretend to be a shabby scholar who wanted to take the imperial examination, so that he could live in the Bai family under his deaf eyes. Lest others discover the relationship between the Bai family and the Bai Feng Lord, after all, they are now at war with the Seven Sects of the Demon Dao.
Although the identity of a poor scholar made Lu Xu a little unhappy, he had no trouble dressing up. After all, when Lu Xu was in his previous life, he had genuinely studied exam-oriented education for more than ten years, and he came without opening his hand. As for the shabby atmosphere, he was a ** young man in his previous life, and he can be said to have performed in his true colors.
After Lu Xu closed the door of the house, he meditated on the bed and practiced qi, after all, time waits for no one, although there can be two hundred years of longevity after the foundation is built, but time is not waiting, and it is extremely difficult to form a golden pill.
Unconsciously, Lu Xu meditated all afternoon, and it was not until late afternoon that someone finally knocked on the door.
Lu Xu's spirits perked up, and then the look on his face faded completely, and he immediately restored the image of a shabby scholar full of bookish air.
When the door was opened, there stood a servant dressed as a servant.
"My lord has returned home, and now Mrs. has called you over, come with me now!" said to Lu Xu unceremoniously, and then turned around and left, not seeming to put Lu Xu in his eyes.
It's no wonder that this position is different from Bai Quan, who is guarding the gatehouse.
As a confidant next to the eldest lady, he sees many poor relatives who come to the Bai family to fight the autumn breeze every year, so naturally he doesn't take it very seriously.
According to this position's idea, most of the family masters will take some silver taels to send him back after receiving this shabby scholar for a while, and they will not let him stay in the mansion for a while longer!
And Lu Xu honestly agreed, and followed this person out of the wing room and went straight to the living room of Baifu.
At this time, a graceful and luxurious woman in her thirties and forties in the living room was mentioning Lu Xu's matter to Bai Yingtian, the head of the Bai family who was sitting in the main seat.
"Since you dare to come to the door with a letter, most of them will not be fake! It seems that it is really some family elder who asked someone to come to the door. ”
"Let's see what is demanded? If it is not excessive, let it be satisfied as much as possible! Don't let our group have a bad reputation in the family for disliking poor relatives. ”
Bai Yingtian is about fifty years old, tall, not old at all, his temples are bulging, and he shows that he has a deep kung fu. It's just that there seems to be something annoying, and the frowning brows showed a hint of exhaustion, he took a sip of ginseng tea, moistened his throat, and said slowly.
"The lord clearly sees that our family does not lack this bit of silver, but the reputation can't be ruined" The woman opposite nodded and said, this lady is dignified and luxurious, but her face is a little haggard.
Seeing this, Bai Yingtian sighed.
This lady has been with him for so many years, but that thoughtful and exquisite mind has not diminished at all, which makes him like her more and more.
It's just that now that their daughter is sick in bed, the husband and wife are full of worries.
"Master, the concubine has already sent someone to summon this person, and after the master has met once, let the concubine deal with such a trivial matter!" the woman continued, and continued to say gently.
When Bai Yingtian heard this, he nodded, and just when he wanted to say something, there was a voice from outside the house.
"Master, the little one has brought a guest here, are you going to summon it now?"
"Well, bring people in. ”
After Bai Yingtian casually ordered, he took another sip of ginseng tea.
"Yes!"
The subordinate answered, and he was speechless.
Outside the living room, a subordinate walked in and behind him was a shabby scholar full of bookishness.
As he walked, the scholar looked left and right at everything in the living room, and seemed to be extremely interested in anything in the room, obviously looking like he had never seen the world.
When the two of them walked into the hall, the subordinate replied and automatically withdrew from the hall. Only the scholar was left, facing Bai Yingtian and his wife with some apprehension.
When Bai Yingtian and the eldest lady saw the scholar's shabby look, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and then Bai Yingtian coughed lightly, and said to the scholar with a pleasant face:
"I heard that the little brother has a letter from an elder Bai, I wonder if this matter is serious?
The scholar was naturally Lu Xu, and after glancing at the head of the Bai family, he handed the neatly folded letter to Bai Yingtian.
Bai Yingtian, who was careless, took the letter, but he did not immediately open the letter. Instead, he glanced at Lu Xu meaningfully, and suddenly placed the letter on the table. Slapped his palm twice.
After two "pop" and "pop" sounds, an old man with white hair and a thin man walked in from outside the hall.
Bai Yingtian pointed to the letter without saying a word, and the thin old man immediately stepped forward respectfully to pick up the letter, and then looked at the letter against the sunlight that was obliquely shining into the hall, asked about the smell, and finally put the letter back on the table with both hands on the ground.
"No problem?"
