Another World Baixin

For Lin Feng's banquet, Bai Xin took Chang Liushui to a cutscene.Master Lin intends to let Bai Xin show his face in front of the rich and powerful families in Xijiang City, so as to prevent those short-sighted people from attacking him again.

Sure enough, after the banquet, several families that had been in contact with the elder family in the early years sent their servants to the door respectively, presenting etiquette and greeting cards, saying that many years ago, they would not have time to repay the favor of the elder family in the future, and this time they will only repay the elder family with generous gifts. Ri can find them if necessary, and invite Bai Xin's family to visit.

"hypocritical."

After Bai Xin confirmed it with Qin, he accepted the gifts one by one, but he still ignored the greetings.It has been almost a year since he settled down in Xijiang City to buy property, and he has never seen these people come to say hello.Now seeing that it is profitable, Fang popped up to curry favor again.

Chang Liushui was registering these things. Hearing this, he glanced at him, smiled lightly, and handed out two contracts.

"This is...?" Bai Xin leaned over and squeezed cheek to cheek with him on a chair.

"A prosperous shop and a farm. Uncle Tong gave it." Chang Liushui answered while paying attention to Bai Xin's expression.

It is said that Lao Tong gave it to them, but of course it is impossible that Lao Tong paid them for nothing.In fact, Tianzhuang comes from Lin Xun.He thought that since he had indirectly arranged for someone to come over, he would subsidize a well-produced Zhuangzi to his son, so that others would think that he didn't love his son and wronged his own child.

As for the Bailaiping-sized shop located in a busy part of the city, it was Lin Shaoqi who gave Bai Xin an apology and apology from Lin Shaoqi.

But it turned out that with the help of General Pan, Lao Tong investigated Zuo Tong's judgment and contacted the Lin family in Kyoto, and found that Bai Xin's identity was exposed because Lin Shaoqi's attendant leaked the word, which was learned by the Zuo family.Bai Xin had been in Xijiang City for so long, but Zuo Tongpan didn't make any moves.It was the Zuo family who thought that Lin Xun didn't care about this bastard living outside.It wasn't until Zuo Tongpan found out about Lao Tong's appearance that Fu had bad thoughts again.

Lin Da retired to take care of Lin Da because he was injured in protecting Lin Xun on the battlefield in his early years.In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Da was no longer useful, and was thrown into the countryside by the Lin family for retirement.On the contrary, Lao Tong is in charge of many business dealings of the Lin family abroad.Old Tong is one of the big stewards of the Lin family. He can be by Bai Xin's side, which shows Bai Xin's status in Lin Xun's place.For this reason, Zuo Tong judge just started to attack Bai Xin.

Therefore, the cause of this incident was that under Lin Shaoqi's discipline, he failed to leak the secret, and the trigger point was Lao Tong's appearance.Lin Shaoqi sent people to bring things of apology and a letter of apology.But Old Tong feels guilty, and has been avoiding Bai Xin recently, and only devotes his energy to taking care of Bai Xin's property and human relations.

"Let's talk to Uncle Tong sometime," Chang Liushui stroked Bai Xin's head and smoothed his hair.

Bai Xin nodded, "It's time to talk about it, I won't eat him again." Grabbing the smooth haired hand on his head, he said with a serious face: "Ah Shui, if you touch it again, what if I don't grow up?" ? You can only put your legs on me."

"??" Chang Liushui was stunned, and it took him a while to realize that Bai Xin was playing hooliganism. Suddenly, a cloud of fire burst out from Yubai's face, and he choked out two words with trembling lips: "Shut up!"

Seeing Bai Xin so rare, the thief shamelessly leaned in and kissed him.

After all, Chang Liushui is not that thick-skinned, so shy, he grabbed a sticker and pasted it on Bai Xin's face.

"Hey," Bai Xin opened it happily, "Hey, brother Zhongying invited us to go horse racing? ——No, the Beizhuang racecourse should belong to brother Gongliang's family."

"Let me see," Chang Liushui took the invitation from Bai Xin, his handsome brows raised slightly, "It's Master Gongliang who wants to really host a banquet, but Second Young Master Huang was able to go beyond the master's house to invite, it's obvious that they have a relationship Close. From this point of view, it is true that the Huang family and the Gongliang family are married."

"Huh? How do you talk about getting married? Who and whom?" Bai Xin was busy dealing with the Zuo family's affairs and dealing with the impact of Lin Feng afterwards, but did not pay attention to other things.

"At Master Lin's banquet that day, I listened to it in the backyard. Second Young Master Huang reckoned that he was going to be engaged to Young Master Gongliang's sister. The two seniors talked very happily and were quite close."

Gongliang Zixuan's maternal grandfather was Zhou Tai, the commander-in-chief of Guzhou, and his younger sister, Gongliang Zifang, was deeply loved by his grandfather.Based on Huang's family background, the spouse of Gongliang's family is already a high-ranking candidate. Coupled with the background of Zhou's family, Huang Zhongying was not among the candidates for Gongliang's son-in-law at first.

With the resignation of Zuo Tongpan this time, Master Huang was promoted from the ninth rank to the governor of the eighth rank in a row, and Huang Zhonghua made up a sixth rank governor.Suddenly, the status of the Huang family rose, and Huang Zhongying got closer to Bai Xin again, hoping to gain access to the influence of the Lin family in the capital—no matter what the truth is, it is feasible in the eyes of outsiders.In this way, his worth cannot be compared in the same breath, and the elder sister-in-law Xu's vision is high, so she dared to propose marriage to Gongliang Mansion for him.The Gongliang family was familiar with Huang Zhongying's character and talent, and with the blessing of his wealth and background, he agreed to the marriage.

Power seems to bring many possibilities to people.No wonder, the world is dedicated to studying this way.Even if you lose your life for this, you will not hesitate.

Faced with all these situations, Bai Xin strengthened his determination to work hard and prepare for the exam.Mencius said: "The way of the people is the way. Those who have permanent property have perseverance, those who have no permanent property have no perseverance, and those who have no permanent property have no perseverance. They can do anything extravagant to ward off evil." Those who have a fixed property have a stable mind and have more space to think about it. Far-reaching; people without a fixed property are unstable in their thinking, and they can do anything in order to survive.Obtaining fame is the fastest and safest way to maintain one's own property and protect one's family.Of course, Bai Xin will not do anything for this.If so, it is against my heart.

The Qin family supports Bai Xin's study with practical actions, finds Ju Langjun and Bai Jiang's family to collect various medicinal recipes, and cooks health-preserving soup every day thinking of ways.

"Ah Shui! -- Hurry up, bring it to Ah Xin while it's hot." Qin happily stopped the long flowing water that wanted to avoid it.

"Father (Qin's)..." Chang Liushui lingered and didn't want to go, and entered the study, but Qin couldn't see it, and the soup was finally poured into his stomach.

"Hurry up! Ah Xin has been reading for more than an hour, and it's time to take a break." Qin waved impatiently, then turned around and went back to the kitchen to get busy.

An embroidered picture of auspicious clouds flashed around the corner, and Chang Liushui chased after him, blocking Lao Tong who was about to sneak away. "Uncle Tong!"

Old Tong pretended to be surprised, "Huh? It's Ah Shui, I have something else to do, let's go first."

"It's okay if you want to leave, I'll let Ah Xin talk to you in person later." Chang Liushui said with a smile, "Or, don't bother, help me bring the soup to Ah Xin?"

Old Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Aren't your two choices the same for me?" Every time the Qin family cooks soup, it's impossible for them to make just such a bowl, and they will eliminate all the excess.Bai Xin was tired of drinking, and so were they.But I have to say that recently, the big guy's face is flushed from drinking, his physical condition has improved a lot, and some of Lin Da's old problems are less common.

"I just received a letter from the master. I originally wanted you to hand it to Xin. Forget it, I'll take it along."

Chang Liushui breathed a sigh of relief, the new health-preserving soup recipe that my grandfather got this time is still in the experimental stage, and the taste is really not very good. "Thank you, Uncle Tong!" This thank you can be said to be full of emotion, and Old Tong couldn't help but shuddered when he heard it.

"Dong dong."

"Come in." Bai Xin leaned over his desk and continued to study the test questions without looking up.The desk is full of exam question booklets such as "Three-year scientific examination, two-year simulation", "Ten years of sharpening a sword", etc., which are provided free of charge from Huang Zhongying's enthusiasm.Huang Ershao patted Bai Xin on the shoulder in relief, "Tell me when you're done, there's still a box in the library."

At that time, Gongliang Zixuan was present, and he heard the righteous words to stop his future brother-in-law: "I will keep Ah Ying's collection of questions for now, and my box of booklets annotated by Mr. Shan Chang of Xijiang Academy is just right for Ah Xin. That's all. It's settled, I'll order all my servants to move here immediately!"

Huang Zhongying wondered if the two of us were taught by the same teacher, and the learning materials were roughly the same, so what was the difference? Seeing this, she only thought that Gongliang Zixuan was so enthusiastic about making friends with Bai Xin because of her sincerity, so she didn't think otherwise.

Bai Xin: "Hehe." Don't think he can't see that Gongliang Zixuan doesn't like to study essays. He is looking for an opportunity to clear up the materials for preparing for the scientific examination.But these are exactly what he needs at the moment, and most people can't get what they want.He is still very grateful to Gongliang Zixuan.

There is a round table in the middle of the study of the Bai family, and on the left and right is an embroidered screen with a picture of Shoushan Mountain—from Bai Baoxi and Bai Baoqian.Bai Xin was very pleasantly surprised when he received this gift, probably because it was the best gift he had received from the juniors in his two lifetimes, so he specially placed the screen in the study for a bit of showing off.

Behind the screen on the right is a low couch, which can be used for sitting and lying down for leisure and for making tea to entertain guests.In the space separated on the left, Bai Xin was sitting behind a long desk, thinking hard about solving problems, and the low table next to him was full of books and papers.

The soup cup was placed on the round table, and Lao Tong took out a stack of envelopes from the hidden pocket of his clothes—it was really hard for him to get in, and motioned Bai Xin to look over.

Maybe it was because he had been reading for a long time, or maybe he was shocked by the number of envelopes, Bai Xin's eyes were slightly dull, "What?"

"Cough," Old Tong cleared his throat, read one by one and handed each other, "This is the master's letter, the thickest. The second one is from the young master; oh, this one is from the old man; huh? Why does the old lady have it too? Are you still quarreling with the old man?" ...Oh, the last one is the condolence letter from your step-wife. Wait, the young lady also participated in it?!" With a sound at the end, Old Tong dumbfoundedly held the only pink envelope.

"No, what are they writing to me for?" Bai Xin hadn't turned his head around yet, and he had never met the last four before, and it could even be said that this was the first time he heard of their existence.Earlier, Bai Xin passively accepted Lin Xun's existence, and even avoided it.Lin Xun knew about it, so he didn't mention the family situation to him, and only arranged for Lin Da and Lao Tong to be by his side.

Thinking to himself, Bai Xin opened the letters from Lin Xun and Lin Shaoqi respectively.The former rambled about a bunch of important and unimportant things, covering ten pages. From the text alone, it is hard to imagine that this is a brave and wise Lin who defends against the enemy thousands of miles away, and is rumored to be ruthless in the world. General.The latter was obviously much more normal than his father, and he simply apologized for the previous incident again, and was satisfied that Bai Xin could realize the importance of learning. The follow-up learning materials (from the township examination to the palace examination) were contracted by him, and he would They were sent over one after another.

The care from his elder brother made Bai Xin feel terrified for a moment, and wondered for a moment whether his decision to take the scientific research path was correct.

Old Tong's explanation came from my ear, "The old man is taking care of his life, and occasionally he has sex with cats and dogs, which makes the old man lose his temper and move the old man to live in a village in the suburbs. I think the two old men had a dispute again recently. There are two separate letters." Although Old Tong has tried his best to beautify the old man's behavior, Bai Xin can still get a glimpse of the true temperament of one or two old men. It's just a child's temper, which may be more tempered than ordinary children. There is an old lady who can control him.

"My wife passed away many years ago. For the convenience of communication, the master married Xiao Shi, the daughter of the minister of rites, as his successor, and gave birth to a young lady the next year. The young lady's boudoir name is Shao Ning, and she is five years old. The old man loves her very much. I carry it with me, so I am very active." From the tone and expression of Lao Tong's words, it can be seen that Lin Shaoning is not usually lively, but he is not annoying.

The population of the Lin family is simple, with six masters and quite a few servants. The main reason is that after the old man and Lin Xun's entourage retired in the early years, the Lin family is grateful to them.

Before Lin Xun kept the existence of Bai Xin from his family, except for Lin Shaoqi who accidentally found out about it, no one else knew about it.Now I know that although it was a concubine, it was purely accidental, and the two elders of the Lin family don't mind, not to mention that Bai Xin's character is good, the old lady jumped at home and called Lin Xun to take Bai Xin back quickly.

The old man's letter repeatedly emphasized that if Bai Xin were to return to the Lin family, he would be easily bullied outside.On the contrary, the old lady calmly expressed her love for her grandson whom she had never met, Bai Xin decided everything else by herself, just don't forget the backing of the Lin family, of course it would be better to go back.

"The step-wife is gentle, not impatient, and her means are good. The point is to take good care of her family, and she doesn't treat the young master and the young lady differently. I'm more curious about what the young lady said in the letter." Old Tong She raised the pink envelope with a look of interest.

Bai Xin nodded, "Then take a look."

"!——" Old Tong took out the letter paper twice, then paused, and suddenly burst out: "Hahahahahahahahaha~"

Inside the envelope was a piece of white paper, on which were drawn seven stick figures of different sizes, with thin arms, thin legs and round heads; the ones without headgear were men, and two of them had sideburns; they wrote "My Family and I".

So cute it's heart-warmingly sweet.Bai Xin immediately fell in love with this five-year-old little sister. "Uncle Tong, help me frame it and hang it in the study, let's hang it on the wall in the middle hall."

"Okay, I'll do it later." Old Tong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Bai Xin glanced at it casually, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and became more and more excited: "Why is Uncle Ah's handkerchief here?"

"..." Old Tong pretended not to care and quickly put it away, "Master and the others are still on their way, and another team of skilled craftsmen is coming, and the master said to renovate the house."

Even if Old Tong didn't want to talk about his relationship with Lin Da, Bai Xin knew a thing or two.The two uncles treated him better than his own uncles, and naturally hoped that the two of them could be happy separately, and if there was a destiny, they would get together, and if they didn't, they could become brothers, which is the best result.

Bai Xin thought for a while, and said: "He mentioned in his letter that he bought a three-entry yard in the city, and let us move there when the old house is being renovated. I mean, isn't there a Zhuangzi he gave me outside the city? Going to live in Zhuangzi for a while, one is to avoid these people who come to make connections, and two is to go up the mountain."

Old Tong was stunned, and asked doubtfully, "What are you doing up the mountain?"

"It's the red mushroom picking season soon, and I suspect that there are a lot of unpicked red mushrooms on the mountain behind the house. Brother, brother, cough," Bai Xin didn't like to call Lin Shaoqi like this, but Lao Tong was very happy. "I discussed with Ah Shui before that we want to open a dry goods store—a retail and wholesale distribution of mountain goods and sea goods. I have the impression that the shop he gave away is a big place and an excellent location. It’s not bad to do this business. If, as I think, there is a supply of red mushrooms every year, this alone will be enough to make a lot of money.”

"However, with such benefits, how could the villagers of Jucuo let it go for nothing? It can be seen that there are dangers that we don't know about, and some of them can threaten their lives." Old Tong had to pour cold water on it.

"I have already inquired about the relevant matters. It is said that there is a big snake blocking the way. But the big snake can stop others, but it can't stop me. You can ask Uncle A privately about the secrets here. Next, I will trouble you to find someone to clean up Go to Zhuangzi so that we can go and live there."

"Okay, I'll take care of it." Bai Xin said it mysteriously, but Old Tong was dubious, took the opportunity to put the warm soup in front of him, and quickly walked away.

Old Tong secretly said: I walked so fast, not because I was afraid of drinking soup, but because I was in a hurry to ask Lin Da about something.
