Once magnificent, now brilliant

Ms. He called herself "Miss", so it must be someone with status.Even if a plaque was knocked down in Beijing, and nine of the ten people hit were young ladies, it didn't mean that Miss He's identity was difficult to find out among the crowd.The easiest way is to ask the owner of the jewelry store.

So soon, word spread that He Yuen, the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, had a street dispute with Qi Xiang, the handsome son of the year.Although it was true that Qi Xiang was wrong at the beginning, and the horses frightened He Yuen, but later He Yuen's words made everyone more inclined that she was bullying others.Horses are animals, and if they get out of control occasionally, no one can control them.He Yuen's jewelry was not broken, it just fell on the ground and made people kowtow and kneel, which is really too much.

What's more, the maid beside her has already pointed out Qi Xiang's identity, and she has to look at the Buddha's face instead of the monk's face. Her sentence "the grand master is here, don't dare to touch me in the slightest" is even more heartbreaking.Master Xian is a good man in the hearts of the common people, he has no airs of being an official, and is very kind to everyone.He is also famous for his cleanliness and integrity.It's not good to catch up with the solar terms, and Xianfu's porridge is also the most active.It can be said that he is a good official in the hearts of the people. If such a person is used by a minister's daughter to speak disrespectfully, he can already see who the people want.

Qi Xiang didn't mention this matter to Butler Pan when he came back, but Butler Pan heard about it when he went out to buy vegetables the next day.

In fact, when he "bumped" He Yuen, Qi Xiang just wanted to find an opportunity to get to know this Miss He and see what kind of person she was.And his initial prediction was that the other party would be angry, but he would not speak arrogantly and maliciously.If the other party recognizes him, he will be able to force himself to let Bai Junyu go if he uses the name of Bai Junyu's classmate again.If Bai Junyu married Miss He in the future, he would not feel too abrupt whether he came to visit or asked Bai Junyu to drink with this predestined relationship.

But looking at it this time, Miss He was far from what he expected, and she also stepped on his pain point, so now——he doesn't want to let it go!

Since Ms. He likes to publicize her "Miss" status, then he will do her best to help her, and save him the trouble of finding someone else.

Qi Xiang had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he found a scripture to copy, and wanted to burn it when he went to pay a memorial service next time.

Before he finished copying one sheet, Steward Pan knocked on the door and entered the room, saying, "My lord, General Bai is here."

Qi Xiang paused, then said, "Please come in and have a cup of tea."

"Yes."

As soon as Steward Pan left, Bai Junyu came in.

Qi Xiang didn't look at him, and said calmly: "Wait a minute, when I finish copying this scripture, it will be soon."

Sure enough, Bai Junyu didn't speak, and sat down on a chair beside her to drink tea, and the tense atmosphere suddenly faded a lot.

Qi Xiang guessed why he came by seeing his aura when he entered the door, so she copied the scriptures to calm him down and calm down herself, so as not to be so angry that everything that should be said and should not be said should be completely wiped out.

Putting down the brush and taking a sip of the cold tea, Qi Xiang asked, "What's the matter with you here?"

Bai Junyu's heart has calmed down a lot, but the matter still needs to be discussed, "Are you arguing with En'er in the street?"

This kind of attitude of provoking the teacher made Qi Xiang feel anxious again, and pretended not to know anything, asking: "En'er? Who is that?"

Since Ms. He didn't declare her family name, of course he couldn't say that she recognized her, otherwise it would mean that he did everything on purpose.

Bai Junyu took a deep breath, with displeasure on his face, "Did your carriage hit a girl? Then you quarreled with her?"

This already biased attitude also made Qi Xiang's face stained with frost. He had learned about Miss He from Bai Ru before, but he didn't know if Bai Ru had told Bai Junyu, so he could only treat it as he said, "It turns out that she is He Miss, I have known you for a long time, and this has not yet passed. General Bai is so protective, and I am afraid that he will be spoiled to the bone in the future. But I have to correct you, the loss of control of the horse was an accident, it was my fault, but it did not hit the horse. She, she didn't lose a single hair."

Bai Junyu frowned, and said in a cold voice, "Don't speak eccentrically, just talk about things."

"There's nothing to say." He doesn't just tolerate someone he likes, and no one is worthy of his dignity.He endured it, but those people died in the end, "It hit your heart, it's really an accident. The general wants to argue with this statement, just say it. As for Ms. He, I apologize that she doesn't accept it, and she doesn't need to settle the claim." , sorry I don’t know what else I can do.”

Qi Xiang lowered his eyelids and didn't look at him. Bai Junyu was even more upset by his alienated attitude, and he had to argue with He Yuen: "En'er is not that kind of person, she's just scared."

"So? Do you want me to kneel down and apologize to her or something?" Qi Xiang didn't budge.

"That's not what I meant. En'er is a daughter's family. You should give her some credit."

Qi Xiang raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Bai Junyu affectionately: "Do you want to know why I hate her?"

Bai Junyu was taken aback for a moment, her throat unconsciously moved, "Why?"

Although Qi Xiang's face was ruined, Bai Junyu really felt that it was not affected much compared to before. Qi Xiang's eyes were so beautiful, like amber placed on fine white sand, moist and bright, even the folds of the eyelids were just right, Like talking, the corners of his eyes turn pink when he is angry, so that people can ignore others and drown in it.

Qi Xiang's smile deepened, but her eyes didn't bend, "Because I hate her arguing with me."

Bai Junyu's agitation just now was shattered, and he said angrily, "Nonsense! You haven't seen her before, so why talk about this? If you want to be angry with me, then be angry with me, don't spoil yourself."

Qi Xiang laughed loudly, but her heart was full of sadness, she shouted towards the door: "Uncle Pan, send General Bai out!"

As soon as Steward Pan heard Qi Xiang's name, he knew that he was really angry, so he hurried in and sent Bai Junyu off respectfully.

It was impossible for Bai Junyu to refuse to leave. After looking at Qi Xiang for a moment, he left without saying a word.

Qi Xiang slumped on the chair. Bai Junyu is a somewhat rigid person, and he doesn't know how he was taught at home, so when something like this happened, it was normal for Bai Junyu to come to ask and ask the girl he liked.It was because he didn't suppress his emotions that he made such an ugly scene.And Bai Junyu was sure that he was just a son who pardoned his sins and returned to Beijing. He had no connections. He must have never met Ms. He. That's why he felt that his most sincere words were lies. He really didn't know whether he should be helpless or should sad.

The conflict between Ms. He and Qi Xiang did not show signs of disappearing, but it has intensified in the past few days.And Qi Xiang has also changed from a person who made mistakes first to a complete victim. The rumors that He Yuen scolded Qi Xiang became more and more ugly. For example, Qi Xiang is a slave who is not worthy of carrying her shoes; another example The young master Fenghua back then had already been disfigured, so ugly that he looked like a ghost.Of course, there are also rumors that are not so harsh and sound reasonable, such as the Qi family's crimes are unforgivable, and Qi Xiang still has the face to stay in Beijing, so he should be expelled from the city and die on his own.

None of these words were said by He Yu'en at the time, but they spread to many people, and everyone's words were convincing, and those who didn't know the truth heard it enthusiastically, so they believed it.As for how Qi Xiang is, whether he is handsome or ugly, he has no shame in staying in the capital, the common people don't care, the emperor pardoned the people who came back, why should they say more?

The matter spread widely, and it naturally reached the emperor's ears.

Eunuch Li told the emperor vividly from the sidelines, without any subjective emotions, just to make fun for the emperor.

The emperor didn't say anything, Eunuch Li stopped talking after talking for a while, a slave must try to figure out what the master thinks at any time, the emperor obviously didn't like to listen, so he didn't talk too much.As for the affairs of He Yuen and Qi Xiang, they are not people in the court, so the common people can pass it on if they like.

It was getting dark, butler Pan came in with today's medicine, and said with a sad face, "My lord, those rumors outside are getting worse and worse, don't you want to think of a way?"

Qi Xiang drank the medicine in one gulp, stuffed himself with a piece of maltose, leaned back on the couch leisurely, and asked lazily, "What can I do?"

"I don't care about Miss He, but what she said did affect the reputation of the young master."

Qi Xiang smiled, "Uncle Pan, the only one who can affect my reputation is myself."

Butler Pan hurriedly said: "But the young master didn't do anything, it's still a bad word..."

"How do you know I didn't do anything?" Qi Xiang chewed the sugar into pieces, the sweet taste made him feel good,

Butler Pan was stunned for a while, and then he realized, "Those words... Could it be that you asked me to pass them on?"

Qi Xiang had nothing to shy away from, nodded and said, "Yes, Master, please ask someone to do it."

But Butler Pan still couldn't figure it out, "You're hurting one thousand enemies and eight hundred harms to yourself. Even if the rumors are not true, people who haven't met you may believe those insults."

Qi Xiang said indifferently: "I have my plan, you can rest assured."

Compared with Qi Xiang's idleness and leisure, Bai Junyu is really busy. He is a person with official duties. He wants to recruit soldiers in the court. Many things need to be prepared in advance. He also leaves early and returns late every day.

He didn't have time to take care of the matter of He Yuen and Qi Xiang, and He Yuen didn't cry to him. He thought that perhaps the Minister of the Household Department had his own arrangements. He and He Yuen had no marriage contract, nor did they meet formally, so it was inconvenient for him to come forward for many things , so as not to spoil He Yuen's reputation.

"Are you back? Have you eaten yet?" Mrs. Bai came out with a maid and asked with concern.

Mrs. Bai is elegant and dignified, she looks kind, and she is dressed plainly, even with a pair of begonia and jade hairpins on her head.

The Bai family studied for generations, but it was not until Bai Junyu's father, Bai Guanyou, that he really became an official. He was not a literary career, but a military officer.

In the past, the Bai family had a mediocre family, with a large number of scholars, but there were one or two businessmen who had some family background, but there were no big rules.After Bai Guanyou became promising, Grandmother Bai also took up the pomp and put on all kinds of rules, trying to raise her status.

Mrs. Bai is also the daughter of a scholar family.The two met by chance on Shangxiang Road, and Bai Guanyou fell in love with her at first sight. At that time, Bai Guanyou had already improved a little, and there was no reason why he came to ask Mrs. Bai to marry her. It's done.

In the years before the separation, Mrs. Bai followed many rules from Grandmother Bai. Even with a generous dowry, in Grandmother Bai's eyes, she still outshone her son.It wasn't until the separation that Mrs. Bai really relaxed, but she was used to being simple in front of Grandmother Bai, and even though she had been separated for many years, her attire was still unpretentious.

Outsiders don't know, but Bai Junyu knows very well in his heart that the reason why his father didn't want anything and didn't bother him when the government was divided was because he wanted to separate earlier so that his mother could live a comfortable life.Because of these pasts, their family does not set any big rules. Parents are loving and their sons are filial. These are the biggest rules in their family.

"Mother, my son hasn't eaten yet." Bai Junyu replied with a smile.

Madam Bai quickly ordered someone to heat up the meal, and sat down with him, chatting while eating.

"Mother didn't go out today?" Now that the weather is fine, Bai Junyu feels that her mother should go out more.

Mrs. Bai said helplessly: "At first I wanted to check the materials and add two summer clothes for your father, but your aunt suddenly came, and she didn't bother to go out after greeting her."

Bai Junyu asked, "What's the matter with Auntie?"

Mrs. Bai said: "Come to ask me about Xianxuan. It seems that I intend to marry your cousin."
