Lin Gongzi medicine jar

Old Mr. Bai walked around this calm little apprentice with his hands behind his back, sizing him up from head to toe like a rare object. He really couldn't understand what was going on in this man's mind all day long. Can such a bad excuse be said casually?

He didn't want to interfere in the marriage with the Bai family, but he didn't expect that the marriage would be dissolved for such a reason.

"Are you planning to go out in the future? Are you not afraid of spreading the word?"

As long as he is a man, if he has a hidden disease, he can't wait to cover it up tightly. It's better for Lin Xi to tell the Bai family directly that he can't do it?

Can't do it?

Old Mr. Bai felt that he had really received a wonderful flower in the world, and Mrs. Hou Tai of Yongning was really strong and mentally able to survive.

"The Bai family won't talk nonsense, for the sake of Miss Bai's reputation, and for the friendship between the two families. Besides, one has not made a decision, two has not been hired, and three has no token. It is just intentional, even if the name card is changed, You can let it go if you don't match your horoscope."

After Lin Xi wrote the last stroke, she put it down, picked up the rice paper and blew it carefully, and then presented it to Mr. Bai, "Teacher, please comment."

Old Mr. Bai gave him an annoyed look, then couldn't help but said after receiving the policy theory: "Even the king of Liang knows, is this marriage still fake? Suddenly it was dissolved again, and those who are interested will always ask one or two, and they are not afraid of ten thousand. , just in case, if it accidentally gets out, Xi'er, I'm not joking for the teacher, it will hinder your future future."

Hearing this, Lin Xi laughed, "Who would be so boring to inquire about this?"

"Aren't you going to marry a wife from now on?"

"Teacher, didn't you agree? The great cause has not been accomplished, so why do you do it? You don't have to implicate the innocent."

With such a big heart, old Mr. Bai really didn't know how to admonish him. The elder apprentice was speechless, and the younger apprentice was also rebellious. It really broke the heart of a mentor.

So I can only look down at the policy theory. Lin Xi's policy theory is just like the usual debates. It always has novel ideas and pragmatic examples, which seem extremely convincing.Old Mr. Bai nodded, reluctantly putting aside the bad things just now.

It's just that I'm in a bad mood now, and I don't like everything. Even if this policy comes from Zhuangyuan Lang, he can find faults.

"Everything else is passable, but the literary talent is a little lacking. If you meet an examiner who likes Chinese and American languages, you will suffer. In addition..." He frowned, "Is it because you are usually accommodating for the teacher? You, why don’t you know how to avoid taboos when using words and sentences? If you say it so bluntly, even if the current emperor doesn’t care, it’s not a trivial matter to be caught by someone with a heart.”

This is completely out of anger, Lin Xi is not good at arguing as usual, and can only admonish everything to be taught with an open mind.

Maintaining this appearance, the old Mr. Bai was bored after picking a few thorns. He threw up his sleeves and said, "Forget it, you have your own ideas, so you don't want to talk too much as a teacher. Mrs. Tai went to the Bai family in person to withdraw from the marriage. It's justifiable, but after all, the faces of the two families are not honored. The news released by the Yongning Hou Mansion can never be self-satisfied. If the marriage is abandoned, there must be another justifiable reason. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Bai family will go to Jingfo Temple to offer incense , what should have been acquaintances continues."

Speaking of this, Mr. Bai saw the reluctance on Lin Xi's face, so he sneered and said: "It's a constant disturbance, and everyone knows it. Now you have the cheek to show it to Mrs. Bai, it doesn't fit. It's one thing to fool someone with this kind of reason, and the Bai family doesn't like it. Huh, can't it? Huh!"

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Xiben promised Zhao Yuanrong to accompany him to the temple fair, but now he can only go to Jingfo Temple first.

According to the original agreement, Lin Xi took this opportunity to greet Mrs. Bai, and naturally took a look at her. As long as there were no serious mistakes, the marriage could be settled.

Now it can only be canceled in the name of misfit, to save face for the Bai family. Although the two families know it well, after all, they only know one or two, and there are no rumors.

As soon as the sky was bright, Lin Xi went to the Yongning Hou Mansion, and accompanied the female family members of the Hou Mansion to Jingfo Temple. Because Mrs. Liu presided over the donation, her daughter-in-law Mrs. Bai came over.

As the intermediary between the two governments, although she didn't know that the parents of the two families had reached a consensus to cancel the marriage, she still keenly felt the strangeness of Mrs. Tai's fading enthusiasm, but she never knew the key point.

Xiao Yuheng was taking a rest today, so he went up the mountain with his family members, and when he saw Lin Xi, he couldn't let him go.

"I can't see you often during the Spring Festival, and it doesn't take a few days to study hard. It's rare to see someone today..." He looked Lin Xi up and down, "Tsk tsk, why are you dressed so plainly? I'm not afraid that you won't be able to get into white clothes." The eyes of the second lady?"

Lin Xi chuckled twice, "Big cousin is joking."

"Don't be nervous, it's like this for the first time." Xiao Yuheng patted Lin Xi's shoulder to encourage him.

Today, there are many people going up to the mountain to pay respects to the Buddha, but the official family members have been arranged in advance, and the idlers are not allowed to enter. The abbot sent a novice to lead the way to the clean courtyard.

After a short rest and the arrangement of female relatives, Xiao Yuheng invited Lin Xi to visit the temple together, "The forest of steles on the back mountain of Jingfo Temple is truly amazing. Last time, you and I only took a look around the periphery, but this time we might as well take a walk inside. "

It was still early, Lin Xi happily went with her, and told Mrs. Tai.

"Go, but don't go too far."

After they left, a mother in a dark jacket from the next yard came in under the guidance of the little girl, and wished Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Shan and Mrs. Bai a blessing: "May the old lady be well, please be well, madam, My home is the Bai Mansion in Dongcheng, today my wife happened to be offering incense at the Jingfo Temple, seeing your carriage, it is a predestined relationship and a relationship, if it is convenient for the old lady, my wife will come to pay a visit later."

Shan said with a smile: "This is really destined. The sisters of the Bai family are all kind people. I can't even hope for it. It's convenient."

Mrs. Tai also nodded.

Mrs. Bai looked at Mrs. Tai, she was no longer as enthusiastic as before, and her doubts grew. When the mother left, she asked, "Grandmother, do you want my cousin to come back?"

Mrs. Tai held up the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "Send someone there."

After a while, there was a report at the door, and Mrs. Bai led a lady with a clean complexion and an elegant demeanor into the room, followed by the young lady of the Bai family and a pretty girl in a yellow jacket and skirt.

Their eyes all fell on the strange lady and girl at the same time.

"Ann, old madam, your complexion is getting better and better. It can be seen that your body is strong." Mrs. Bai greeted Mrs. Tai with a smile, and then introduced, "This is my sister-in-law, from the Gu family in Jiangdong. I followed my second uncle in office and rushed back a few years ago."

With a faint smile on the corner of Gu's mouth, he greeted the old lady with a blessing.

Mrs. Shan greeted Mrs. Bai's family and greeted her.

Then Mrs. Bai turned around and called, "Shan'er."

The girl twisted the hem of her skirt, with a smile on her face, her eyes drooping and she bowed her knees, "Shan'er please greet Mrs. Madam, ladies and sisters."

At the end, she raised her head and smiled at Bai Shi, with an elegant and graceful look.

Immediately, Mrs. Bai stepped forward to put her arms around her, smiled at everyone, and said, "Sister Shan is the best friend of mine in my boudoir. She has a quiet personality. My aunt is the housekeeper, and whoever sees it won’t give me a compliment. I’ve been looking forward to it every day, and I’ve finally got someone to come. Grandmother and aunt met Sister Shan, and if she likes her in her heart, don’t compare me to me.”

"My elder sister loves to joke, my younger sister doesn't know what to do." Bai Shan blushed slightly, and gave Bai Shi an annoyance.

Mrs. Shan liked it immediately, and said to Second Madam Bai: "Just looking at such an outstanding person as Miss Bai, it can be seen that my sister is well-bred on weekdays. I don't know how to praise her. I just hope that we will have more contacts in the future and let my family That naughty girl should learn more."

He praised Mrs. Tai again: "I love this pair of sister flowers. One of them has fallen into our house, and the other one will be cheaper in the future, who knows which brat."

As soon as the words fell, the wives of the Bai family glanced at each other, and their expressions became a little complicated.

Mrs. Tai looked at Bai Shan calmly when she entered the door, sighed again and again in her heart, and waved: "Come, come to the old lady."

Bai Shan walked forward with a smile, slowly knelt down in front of Mrs. Tai, and raised her head slightly.

Mrs. Tai felt sore, it would be great if such a good child could be assigned to Lin Xi.

Mother Qi brought a brocade box, Mrs. Tai came back to her senses and took out a white jade bracelet from it, and put it on Bai Shan's hand. It was pure and crystal clear, and it made Bai Shan's complexion more radiant and fair. It looks good on it, and your sister and old woman would not give it up."

Bai Shan looked down at the bracelet, it was as pure and flawless as cream, and turned to look at the second Mrs. Bai.

I only heard the second wife say: "This is too precious."

The high-quality mutton fat white jade bracelet is flawless, if Bai Shan and Lin Xi's marriage can be achieved, it will be well deserved, but...

Mrs. Tai patted Bai Shan's hand, the regret flashed in her eyes, she smiled lovingly and said, "It's okay, it's just right for Shan'er."

Mrs. Bai frowned slightly, and finally said: "Thank you, old lady."

At this time, I only heard a report coming from the door, "The Eldest Young Master and the Biao Young Master greet the old lady."

Hearing this, Bai Shan got up, walked back behind her mother, lowered her sleeves to cover the piece of white jade.

Shan's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "Come in."

Then Xiao Yuheng entered with Lin Xi.

Xiao Yuheng was taller and older, and since he was acquainted with people, he was less cautious. After meeting his grandmother and fourth aunt, he called on his mother-in-law Mrs. Bai and his second aunt, Mrs. Bai.

Lin Xi followed Xiao Yuheng, and stood quietly to one side after saluting generously.

"Is it snowing outside?" Mrs. Tai asked with concern when she saw the snow on their shoulders.

Xiao Yuheng replied: "It went down intermittently, and it went down again when we came back."

Mrs. Bai said: "This winter is extremely cold, so you should be careful when walking outside."

"Follow your mother-in-law's instruction."

Lin Xi followed Xiao Yuheng, and felt scrutinizing eyes on him. He had seen everyone except Mrs. Bai and Miss Bai, so although he felt a little awkward, he still acted as if he had never heard of it.

Suddenly Second Madam Bai asked calmly, "I wonder what Mr. Lin's plan is for the next year's provincial examination?"

Lin Xi woke up and replied, "We should give it a try."

When Lin Xi came out, she didn't know why Second Madam Bai asked her, so she forgot about it in a blink of an eye, as long as she didn't like it anyway.

On the other side, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Tai retired and returned to their own yard. Mrs. Bai just sighed softly, "It's not easy for a child."

Second Madam Bai moved the corners of her lips, her eyes were clear, and she took her daughter back to the wing.

After closing the door, Bai Shan took back the mutton fat white jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on the table.

Mrs. Bai's expression turned cold, and she told the mother beside her, "Find a box and return it to Mrs. Xiao Jiatai."

The mother responded and came over to get the jade, but only heard Bai Shan say: "Wait a minute."

Second Madam Bai raised her eyelids and frowned, "Shan'er?"

Bai Shan hesitated and said: "Mother, it would be hurtful to go back like this... Why don't you find something else..."

The Second Madam Bai sneered, "Since it's open, it's normal to treat it, so why give such a valuable thing? Does Mrs. Xiao Jiatai still have hope that I will marry you over? It's ridiculous."

It is also the wish of a loving elder.

Bai Shan knew that her mother was already annoyed, this marriage was brought up by the grandfather, and her father agreed to it if he could not refute it. Although the Second Lady Bai was unwilling, she had to reluctantly agree.

But I don't want to have such a show!It's just that Mrs. Xiao Jiatai personally came to explain the reason, and she can only rejoice that the marriage has not yet been finalized, so she just pretended to be for the sake of the reputation of the two families.

But today Mrs. Tai's move obviously hasn't stopped, which makes Mrs. Bai very dissatisfied.

Bai Shan thought about it and persuaded: "Mother, don't be angry, it's up to us whether we agree or not."

"Your aunt still wants me to think about it. What's the point?" The second lady Bai took a sip of water, and seeing her daughter's sad face, she immediately realized that she was talking too much, and sighed, "You are a girl who has not left the cabinet. , what can I tell you, Shan'er is tired, so go and have a rest, mother knows it well."
