Entering mid-April, the climate in the Imperial City has also begun to warm with spring and flowers are blooming. The severe cold has gone away and everything is awakening.
Many of the big families in the Imperial City in Tea Villa are preparing to move back to the city.
The same goes for the Xu family on the west side of the villa.
The Xu family is not from Huangcheng. Their family business is in the Jingxi area, and they came here hoping to get some "nobility" in Tea Villa. Now that spring has begun, the nobles in the villa are already preparing to return to the city to live, and the Xu family is also about to return to Jingxi.
But that day, the Xu family received an invitation, which read: Yours sincerely, Bai Changqing.
Who is Bai Changqing? Everyone who lives in Chashan Villa knows this, and the Xu family has long known that this person is a high official in the temple. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and is one of the top people in the old Jing Dynasty. He is a real person. Big boss figure.
In the past, let alone receiving an invitation from such a big shot, being able to say hello to someone they met on the road was a matter of great honor to the Xu family.
Not to mention that the invitation was written by Bai Changqing himself, and he used the polite word "yours sincerely" to show respect.
Why is this happening? Is Bai Changqing stupid?
Of course Bai Changqing is not stupid. A fool cannot be the Minister of Household Affairs.
To use the private words of other people in Tea Villa: The Xu family was lucky to have brought two young ladies into the house, which just touched Bai Changqing's heart.
How do you say that? You can't stop luck when it comes!
To talk about this matter, there is no way to finish it in just a few words. At the beginning, every household in Zhuangzi did not associate the Xu family with Bai Changqing. The difference is too far, not on the same level at all.
On the other hand, the two new ladies in the Xu family are lively and cute, and they can always be seen in the village.
But then, somehow, the sisters from the Xu family met Bai Changqing, and they seemed to see each other right. No, it was Bai Changqing who fell in love with her sister.
They went fishing and went hiking together, and some people even saw Bai Changqing making a snowman and having a snowball fight with the Xu sisters. There is a psychological change of rejuvenation.
Those who were thoughtful realized that something was wrong at that time, because Bai Changqing seemed to be getting closer and closer to the two sisters of the Xu family.
At the beginning, someone threatened the Xu family, saying that the Xu family was just a businessman. How could he not know how much he was worth when he had two filthy rich people? How dare you deliberately put a woman next to the dignified Minister of Household Affairs? This is flattery and seeking death!
The Xu family was frightened at that time. They really only had a little money and no big backer. After being warned by the people around them with harsh words, they gave in and wanted to run away. It seemed that they no longer had any dreams.
But I don't know how Bai Changqing got the news. He rushed back to Chashan Villa from the Imperial City without leaving the business, and hosted a banquet for the Xu family on the pretext of walking among neighbors. And he hinted during the dinner: If anyone dares to challenge you, just come and tell me, and I will support you!
The next day, those who had threatened the Xu family came to apologize with generous gifts.
By this time, anyone who is not blind or stupid can see what Bai Changqing is planning, and this matter is not just "joking", it is completely serious.
So from that day on, the Xu family always received invitations that they couldn't even ask for in the past, and they were all from high-ranking families in Tea Villa.
However, the servants of the Xu family heard that the Xu sisters didn't seem to have that intention yet, because Bai Changqing was much older than them. It would be too false to say that they were sincerely willing to live with an old man. And although the Xu family was anxious, they had no intention of forcing the two girls, and they had never confirmed some of the rumors outside.
Things seemed to have stagnated a bit after that. No one in Zhuangzi had ever seen the Xu sisters playing around with Bai Changqing. They all thought to themselves: It seems that Bai Changqing can't enjoy the beauty of sisters. That's right, it's not appropriate for an old cow to eat tender grass, and it's normal to be disliked. As a little girl, it doesn't matter whether you are a high official or not, people like you for your pretty husband.
In addition, it is said that Bai Changqing became very unhappy after learning that day that Miss Xu had no thoughts about him and only regarded him as a playmate or "interesting uncle". Anyone with eyesight can see what is going on.
I can’t figure it out!
If you were Bai Changqing, you wouldn't be able to figure it out. On weekdays, a lot of people come over to kneel and lick each other after saying a word, and women come and go as soon as they are called upon. When have you ever hit a wall?
Do you still have "unrequited love" when you get old?
Not to mention, Bai Changqing really felt like she had unrequited love. I felt extremely sad and felt funny at the same time. He was obviously too old to be distracted by two little girls. The key is that they were so frightened that they didn't even show their faces.
There were many people who saw the joke, and some even burst out laughing. After all, it was rare to see the dignified Minister of Tobe humbled in front of two girls.
Even the rumor that Bai Changqing wanted an old cow to eat young grass but was rejected by him spread outside the tea villa.
To be honest, Bai Changqing's face was a bit hurt. Even some angry children of the Bai family wanted to come and smash the Xu family who didn't know how to praise them, but they were stopped and scolded by Bai Changqing. It would be a shame to really offend the Xu family.
Therefore, Bai Changqing could only be depressed and unhappy, drinking wine every day to soothe his sorrows. He often sighed and regretted that his years were gone and he was not blessed enough to enjoy the grace of beauty.
But God has eyes, and he will never bear to let the infatuated person wait.
Not long after, a scary thing happened at Tea Villa: the Xu family's business rivals hired a few casual cultivators to kill the Xu family's backbone, and then took the opportunity to attack the Xu family's business in various places. In the end, many people in the Xu family died. If it weren't for the support of several defensive formations in the family, they would not have been able to survive the rescue.
Who saved him? Bai Changqing, who happened to be halfway home and walked to Tea Villa, learned the news and personally rescued her from danger.
Of course, the guards around Bai Changqing contributed more, but Bai Changqing was the most eye-catching one. How dare the bodyguards compete with their own lord for the rare chance of a "hero saving a beauty"?
The timing was clever, the opportunity was rare, and the performance was outstanding.
So, what other reasons are there to organize passionate love?
No! Even the age gap several times can no longer be an obstacle! Because the rescued Xu sisters both cried and threw themselves into the arms of the hero Bai Changqing. Bai Changqing's heart almost broke when she saw the two little faces with pear blossoms and rain. After competing with others for most of his life, Bai Changqing thought he was old, but now he really feels young again.
"I won't let you get hurt in the slightest!" Bai Changqing said this decisively, and at the same time, the arms around the two women subconsciously tightened.
It was a joke before, but now it's a joke.
A hero saves a beauty, white hair and beauty, this is a literary romance, something that can make a song. Some familiar colleagues even joked with Bai Changqing about it on the way to court.
