Shao Xi finally accomplished half of what he had promised Bai Jinqing, but it was not easy anymore. What worries him right now is the old man from the Liu family. Let alone trying to persuade him, he doesn't even have a chance to see him now. How can he do this?
But speaking of it, Shao Xi is very similar to the fat baby holding a koi in the old New Year paintings. Every time he thinks about something, something will come to him.
At this time, Bai Dinggong said to Shao Xi: "Now that I have understood that governing the world and benefiting the people cannot be achieved by one family, it is time to put aside our prejudices, break the shackles, and pool the strengths of hundreds of families. So I plan to make an appointment. Let’s have a good talk with the old guy from the Liu family. Of course, it’s also for the happiness of my grandson. After all, he won’t agree to marry his granddaughter to my grandson unless we reconcile with this old guy.”
Shao Xi heard this and said: "Good guy! It was you who was opposing just now, and you are also the one who is making the move now. Is it because my persuasive ability is too strong, or because your own position is not firm?"
However, this is a good opportunity. Let these two learned old men discuss the art of governing the world together, so as to ease the relationship, and the matter between Bai Jinqing and Liu Ling will naturally fall into place.
"So when do you plan to meet Mr. Liu?"
Bai Dinggong stroked his beard and thought for a while and said: "Today and tomorrow are the days when families and relatives will visit each other during the New Year. It is really not appropriate to visit the door, so why not choose it on the third day of the lunar month! That is, the day after tomorrow, we can visit the door to celebrate the Spring Festival. I'll have a chance to talk to him, and you can tell Jin Qing for me later, asking him to prepare gifts and greeting cards, and we can go to Liu's house to visit him the next day."
Duke Bai Ding had just finished speaking, and then added, "You will go with me the day after tomorrow, and no matter what you are doing, please put it aside first."
Shao Xixin said: "Well, I knew they couldn't run away from me, so they planned to put me in front."
"Student understand, it seems that students also need to prepare a gift. It is not easy to go empty-handed when visiting someone's home for the first time. I just don't know what Mr. Liu's family likes?"
"He? He has always insisted that human nature is inherently evil and needs to be controlled by others. He has also always believed that everyone in the world is greedy for things outside of themselves, including himself. So what he likes most is all kinds of rare treasures in the world , and in my opinion this is simply tacky.”
Shao Xi said with a smile: "Life is short, and it is normal to have some things that you like. In this case, students will know it."
Bai Dinggong nodded and said: "Although I have only known each other since last night, I believe in your way of doing things. I guess you must have your own methods and standards. Naturally, I don't have to worry about it. You can just follow your own ideas." Just do it.”
"The student understands. Sir, please rest assured that the student will not let you and the academy lose face. After all, I am also a student of Bailu Academy."
What Shao Xi was thinking about at this time was the few glass beads and "fairy tears" left in his hand.
Last time at Taihe Trading Company, I sold out the poor-quality Sky Eye Stones and Glazed Beads. What I kept in my hands was intended to be used when necessary, and now is the time to use them.
After the teacher and student had discussed the matter, it was time for Shao Xi to leave, but Bai Dinggong patted Shao Xi on the shoulder and said with emotion: "I never expected that Changlin would have a son like you. You are better than your father." Excellent, from now on I will treat you like Jin Qing, you can come to me whenever you need something."
You know, there are only three people in Daliang City who can make Bai Dinggong say this. Now that he can say this to Shao Xi, it fully proves that he regards Shao Xi as his own and treats him as a relative. . With his current status and influence, this is something that many people can only dream of.
"Students understand their husband's wishes, and they will treat their husband as their own family members. From now on, whatever happens at Bailu Academy is my business, and my husband's business is my business."
Bai Dinggong nodded with satisfaction. He already had a very outstanding grandson, and now he had another disciple who was like a grandson, even better than his own grandson. He felt that he finally had a successor.
"I will definitely take what you asked me to do last night, including the Feng family's matter, to the bottom of my heart and make it clear. From now on, teachers and students, you and I, will work together to eliminate the injustice in this world and restore justice to the world." A joyful peace.”
Duke Bai Ding spoke with some excitement, which also moved Shao Xi deeply.
"The students should keep the words of the teacher in mind, and the students will live up to the expectations of the teacher. The day after tomorrow, the teacher will go to the Liu family. I think it is better for the husband to make some preparations in advance. I think the old man of the Liu family may not be easy to talk to. Here is the student. I also say goodbye to my husband and go back to prepare."
"Go, go! If you are prepared for everything, there will be no danger. I am afraid that you and I, the teacher and the student, will have to worry a lot in the future."
After saying that, Bai Dinggong laughed.
Shao Xi bowed and exited the study, breathing a long sigh of relief. In any case, the promise to Bai Jinqing has finally made progress.
As soon as they walked out of the study door, Bai Jinqing and others who were sitting in a pavilion not far away waiting for news came to Shao Xi in three steps at a time.
"What's going on? What did you say to my grandfather? You made him so angry. What's going on now?"
Before Shao Xi could answer, Zheng Yuanxiu interrupted and asked: "Does the old master want to kick you out of the academy and never be allowed to step in? Then you will be in misery. If you leave a black bottom in this Bailu Academy, you will be afraid of it in the future. There is no hope for the imperial examination!"
Hu Yushan, who was standing behind him, came up and slapped Zheng Yuanxiu on the back of the head.
"Can you please stop cursing Brother Shao? If you say such unlucky words on the first day of the new year, I will smash your mouth."
Han Shaoguang said carelessly: "It's really a waste of worry. With the old master's demeanor, the most he can do is scold him, how can he be kicked out of the academy?"
Shao Xi looked at several people talking to each other, and said with a wry smile: "You didn't even let me say anything, you just knew that you were just guessing! Nothing happened. Now the old master is very happy, you all Stop speculating."
Bai Jinqing put his hand on Shao Xi's shoulder and asked with concern: "What on earth did you say to my grandfather? What made him so angry? I have never seen him so angry since I was a child."
"Tell me about you and Miss Liu! I advise him not to interfere in your affairs and let you and Miss Liu interact freely without restriction."
"ah?"
Bai Jinqing's face turned green with fright. Only then did he understand why his grandfather had reprimanded Shao Xi so loudly just now. It turned out that this brother had nothing to do to poke a hornet's nest.
"Brother Shao, you are too bold. How can you mention this matter to your grandfather? This is going to be troublesome now. How should I explain it? Forget it, I will go and kowtow to my grandfather now to apologize!"
"What are you kowtowing to and asking for? Not only did your husband promise not to interfere in your dealings with Miss Liu, but he also intended to mediate the matter. What? Do you want to abandon Miss Liu from beginning to end?"
Bai Jinqing's face turned red when Shao Xi said it. After holding it in for a long time, he said: "Brother Shao, you can't talk nonsense. What started with chaos and ended up giving up? Although Miss Liu and I love each other, we are innocent. Where did the chaos come from?" ?Besides, I didn’t say I wanted to give up on Miss Liu.”
Just after saying this, Bai Jinqing seemed to react suddenly and asked hurriedly: "What did Brother Shao just say? My grandfather stopped interfering in my dealings with Miss Liu? You also said that my grandfather deliberately brokered this matter? Brother Shao, what are you talking about?" Are you serious?"
Shao Xi wanted to laugh when he saw the various changes in Bai Jinqing's face, but he held it back and said seriously: "At first, when I mentioned this, sir, he really lost his temper, but brother, I relied on my three-inch The love between you and Ms. Liu was so touching and moved with such eloquent words that it finally moved the husband. The husband asked me to tell you, prepare a greeting card and some gifts as soon as possible, and you will be with us the day after tomorrow. I’m going to visit the Liu family to resolve the grudges, and I’m probably going to propose marriage for your kid!”
Bai Jinqing was completely shocked. In just a short time, all he heard from Shao Xi's mouth was explosive news.
His grandfather actually had to visit the Liu family in person to resolve decades of conflicts and propose marriage to the Liu family on his behalf. This was something he had never dreamed of before.
"Brother Shao, don't joke about this. Do you really mean what you said?"
"It's so true! It couldn't be truer than Pearl! Now that I've done such a big thing for you, tell me! How do you plan to repay me?"
Bai Jinqing adjusted his robes, bowed to Shao Xi solemnly, and said: "Brother Shao is so kind that I will never forget it. From today on, you are my eldest brother. No matter what happens from now on, don't dare to give me orders." Don’t obey.”
Shao Xi smiled and held out the folding fan in his hand, "Brother, I promise you a thousand pieces of gold. I promised you last night that I, the old man of the two families, will find a way to make things happen between you and Miss Liu. Now I am just fulfilling my promise. You also There’s no need to be so exaggerated in your thanks.”
As he said that, he reached out and patted Bai Jinqing's shoulder.
Bai Jinqing also had a smile on his face at this time, and there was no need to express the joy in his heart.
Hu Yushan and the three people next to him jumped over at this time, and all kinds of teasing were surrounding Bai Jinqing, which made Bai Jinqing look as shy as a big girl. Shao Xi stood aside and watched, dumbfounded.
"Brother, you can't forget that we agreed to teach each other body skills. You must keep your word on this matter. I am very yearning for your "Flower Dance" body skills. You must teach me carefully. !”
"Brother, don't worry! After these two busy days, I will practice the body technique with my brother every day. I will do my best and never hide anything."
"This is not the most important thing at the moment. What you have to think about right now is what gifts to prepare. We can't be too shabby when we visit someone's house for the first time, right? Sir, I'll leave it to you to prepare the gifts. Yes, this matter is related to your own future and happiness, we don’t worry about it.”
Bai Jinqing was reminded like this and stood there stunned for a while before suddenly reacting.
"Oh! No! I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to prepare gifts. You can't be careless about such an important thing. I won't accompany you anymore. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he turned around and ran out the door, leaving only the sound of laughter behind him.
