Chapter 285
Chapter 285
The Bai family is already a top-ranking family in Nan'an City, and now it has expanded its influence to the Western Sui Dynasty, and it is not weak in the entire Jin Kingdom, but when a group of people came to the gate of the city, they obviously felt that the people coming and going here were much more luxurious than them. Looking at the rich clothes they wore and the extravagant decorations on their carriages, it was so dazzling that one's eyes were almost blinded.
However, seeing Bai Yi and Xiao Ruiyang's calm posture, the accompanying people calmed down and accepted the scrutiny from all parties calmly.Wu Xiao was the one who didn't take these gazes seriously. No matter how ordinary the clothes he was wearing, he was the most eye-catching one standing in the crowd, so those gazes who looked at him were both contemptuous and couldn't help but stare at Wu Xiao. Xiao glanced at him.
"Where did this come from the imperial city? Every year at this time, the number of people entering and exiting the imperial city explodes, causing a lot of trouble for us who live here. Huh? Why is there a wheelchair in this group of people? Really? It’s true, it’s not convenient to come out, so why join in the fun?”
"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't look at that man in a wheelchair, but there are two people around him who are not weak, be careful to offend others, and before you look, someone will look down on you and be taught a lesson."
There was a slight humming sound from a passing carriage, and the curtain was lifted to take a look here, and then it was lowered again.
"What? Do you know people outside?"
"Heh, you don't know. No one in the imperial city knew about them more than ten years ago. After being silent for more than ten years, they have come back again. There is no one in the Jin Kingdom except the Bai family who has them." luck."
"The Bai family? Are you talking about the Bai family in Nan'an City? I heard that there is a Bai family who cooperates with the First Prince and the An family?"
"Who else is there besides them? Don't underestimate the Bai family. The person who is in charge of the family is still a bad pair. But in just one year, three martial kings emerged from the Bai family. The prince and An's reliance, do you think anyone in the imperial city can underestimate them? Especially the grand event of the Five Kingdoms is just around the corner. I heard that Xiao Ruiyang was also called by Chen Guowutang. If he really gets the right to go to the Central Empire Qualification, even if His Majesty sees him in the future, he must be polite and respectful."
Another person in the carriage took a deep breath, and specially picked up the curtain to see the Bai family and his party waiting to enter the city outside, especially Shuang'er in the wheelchair. He couldn't tell whether it was envy or jealousy: "Then shall we give it to you when we go back?" Bai's backup gift?"
The man was silent for a moment and said: "Send it, don't be too heavy, just treat it as an ordinary family, it's better not to offend such a family, it's not our family who want to come to the imperial city and have the same idea as us."
Bai Yi and his party traveled together with the alchemy guild, and when they entered the city, because of the special status of the alchemy guild, they also walked through another passage with He Zheng and the others. When they saw the badge on He Zheng's body, they were about to intercept their people His expression immediately became respectful, even after verifying the identities of Bai Shi and his party, his attitude was not perfunctory at all, and he even looked at Xiao Ruiyang and Wu Xiao with admiration and eagerness.
"It turns out to be Guild Master He. I wonder if we need us to escort all alchemists to the alchemist guild?" He Zheng's reputation has been heard by others even if he is not in the imperial city. Accidentally offend someone who cannot be offended.
He Zheng said politely: "Thank you, little general. Patriarch Bai, everyone, we will live in the place arranged by the general guild. If there is something to do, ask someone to send a letter."
Bai Yi cupped his hands and said, "Okay, Ah Wen still needs Guild Master Lao He to give him a lot of advice. Several alchemists from Nan'an City can also go to Bai's other courtyard and have more companions in the imperial city."
On the way, Bai Yi told the alchemist of Bai's whereabouts in the imperial city, so Di Ming and the others had no objection at this time, so the two sides said goodbye and separated at the gate of the city. He Zao saw Bai's group, and after Bai Yi bid farewell to Chairman He and the others, he rushed over with them.
After the two parties met and exchanged pleasantries, they got on the vehicle and went to Bai's other courtyard here.
Along the way, Bai Yi looked at the familiar scene outside and the noisy crowd with complicated expressions in his eyes, and met the eyes of Xiao Ruiyang who was riding on a horse beside the carriage and looking over with concern, Bai Yi showed a relieved smile.
No matter what the past was, it already belonged to the past, and now that Bai Yi had returned to the imperial city, the Bai clan was no longer an existence to be underestimated.
"The imperial city is really extraordinary. It has a completely different atmosphere from our Nan'an city, but there is a bit of extravagance in the bustling style." Wu Xiao was not interested in riding a horse for people to visit, so he pulled Lin Wen into one of them In the carriage, Lin Wen happily leaned on the window to look at the scenery outside, and even turned his head to communicate with Wu Xiao.
Wu Xiao lazily leaned on the chair cushion and said, "This is a place to live, not a good place to practice, but it's also a good place to practice your mind." The more such a place is, the more tempting it is. Walking in the middle is also a kind of experience for the state of mind. Lin Wen rolled his eyes speechlessly. Everything else is related to the practice, okay? I came to the imperial city just to have fun. When it’s time to relax, I still have to relax. So he still looked at the pedestrians, shops and magnificent buildings outside with relish, and retorted: "Your mentality of being out of the world doesn't meet the requirements of mind training. Be part of it."
Lin Wen thought of the Taoist-Buddhist dispute about entering the world and leaving the world. In his opinion, if he hadn't been involved in it, how could he jump out of it to see through the world and be truly untouched.
Wu Xiao simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, and didn't care about Lin Wen.
No matter what they said, the other people who came with them still showed great interest in the bustling imperial city. Apart from watching the annual grand event, visiting the imperial city is also in their plan, discussing with each other what is in the imperial city The best place to play is the one that is very famous, and the atmosphere is so lively all the way to Bai's other courtyard.
Jin He introduced to Bai Yi who got off the car: "Thanks to the help of the An family, otherwise we would not be able to buy this other courtyard in this location. It is surrounded by either royal courtyards or other big aristocratic families. Being able to enter the yard is a status symbol, so there are very few properties for sale.”
According to Jin He's idea, he really wants to take back the property that originally belonged to the Bai family. The Bai family used to have another courtyard here, but after asking Bai Yi, Bai Yi rejected this approach, just like him In my own mind, the Bai family does not need to linger in the past but to start over. He would rather re-establish a property than live in the old place and miss the past.
"It's very nice here, thank you for your hard work." Bai Yi was very happy to see this quiet and not magnificent courtyard. Although Bai Shi came back, he didn't need to show off in a high-profile way, nor did he need a mansion to show himself It is fundamental that the Bai family can cultivate more and more spiritual masters and warriors.
Jin He's hard work was affirmed, and his eyes were so happy that he smiled. There had been servants waiting here, and the arrival of the master immediately brought the whole yard to life.
The arrival of the Bai family and his party has also attracted the attention of several forces. Among them, the Zhou family and the Fan family are the most concerned and involved. Other forces who are familiar with the grievances of these parties have all turned their attention to them. What kind of entanglements and conflicts will arise? When the Bai family left the imperial city, no one probably expected to come back so soon, especially in the hands of a Shuang'er Patriarch. Yu Xing's twins, what kind of charm is there to make one or two King Wu voluntarily stay in the Bai family, rather than accept the solicitation of other forces.
Since the closure of the secret realm, Xiao Ruiyang and Lou Jing have both become Wu Wangs. In fact, people have been in contact with them secretly. If Xiao Ruiyang is unwilling to accept solicitation because of Bai Yi, what about Lou Jing?It is said that he is the commander of the guards of the Bai Mansion, but his identity is actually the same as that of the general of the Bai family. Such an identity is a bit humiliating for a king of Wu. The past cannot be erased.
Some people took advantage of this point and wanted to poach Lou Jing, and offered generous treatment, and some even wanted to marry the daughter of a direct descendant as a condition for recruiting him, but Lou Jing turned them all away. I couldn't see it. These people underestimated Lou Jing's loyalty to Bai Yi. Rather than saying that he was loyal to the Bai family, it would be better to say that he was loyal to Bai Yi alone. What's more, no one knew better than him and Xiao Ruiyang why he was able to successfully break through and become King Wu .
This time he stayed in Nan'an City and did not travel together. After Xiao Ruiyang, he also became the second person to draw a totem on himself. In addition to training his subordinates to improve the defense of the White Mansion, he also trained himself hard. With his example, not many people in the White House would dare to be lazy in martial arts training.
Different from the other courtyard of the Bai family, the Zhou Mansion has a luxurious mansion in the imperial city. It is located in the inner city of the imperial city, where it is really a symbol of status. The other courtyard is only used for entertaining guests or leisure. place to have fun.
As soon as the people from the Bai family entered the city, some people hurried back to the Zhou mansion. Someone reported from both Zhou Jingqing and Bai Fengshu. I don’t even send a single letter to my sister.”
The letter she sent to Nan'an City didn't get a single reply, and the people who went to Nan'an City didn't even see Bai Yi's face, "Is he going to draw a line with my sister?"
The mother who was waiting on the side hurriedly asked people to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, poured another cup of tea and persuaded: "Madam's health is important, I think it is because Master Yi has always misunderstood Madam, since Master Yi has also come to the imperial city, Why don't you go to Mrs. Yi personally to persuade Young Master Yi?"
From mother's point of view, Young Master Yi really shouldn't be wrestling with his wife like this. Even if the Bai family has recovered, in her eyes, it is far from the Zhou family. The Bai family has King Wu, and the Zhou family has an old man The ancestor is alive, not to mention that there is also King Wu below. If you really want to annoy the Zhou family, the Bai family will be overthrown in an instant. The current Bai family is not the former Bai family. Zhou?
Bai Fengshu's eyes gradually calmed down, and she ordered people to prepare paper and pens: "I will write another letter, and my mother will send it to me, and hand it to A Yi in person. By the way, let Ting Kai bring his brother to visit uncle." He said I don't believe that Bai Yi will be indifferent when he sees Ruier, especially after Lin Wen and Ruier meet.
"Okay, the old slave will take care of the matter for Madam and take good care of the two young masters." Mom assured, patted her chest.
As soon as Zhou Jingqing received the news, he heard his wife ask the two young masters to visit his uncle in the Bai family's other courtyard. After waving his servants, he greeted Zhou Tingkai who was beside him: "What do you think, Kai'er? Would you like to meet the head of the Bai family?" ?”
Zhou Tingkai frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with his father's words: "Uncle has come to the imperial city, and Ruier and I are going to visit now, and Ruier has not seen uncle yet, but a group of people from the Baifu just arrived today. It's not good to come to disturb me rashly, I'd better send someone to send a greeting card to see if it's convenient for uncle tomorrow."
He thought that this was also a respect for the Bai family. If uncle really didn't want to see them, then he would find another chance in the future. There would naturally be a chance to meet after they arrived in the imperial city.
"Yeah, Rui'er hasn't met his uncle yet, so let's take him to meet him this time. The blood relationship can't be erased. As for how to go, it's up to you, Kai'er, as my eldest son. , doing things outside represents the face of the Zhou family. You must not lose your status or lose your etiquette. By the way, I mentioned to your mother that I want your mother to propose marriage to your uncle for you. Didn’t you also say you The Shuanger named Bai Sheng next to my uncle is very nice." Zhou Jingqing said with a smile while looking at the expression of the eldest son while playing with the wrench of his thumb.
However, Zhou Tingkai subconsciously frowned even tighter. For some reason, he heard his father say this and his heart beat violently. He had admiration and gratitude for Lin Wen, but he never thought about getting married. It seemed that the two of them should not have such a relationship. relationship, I wanted to refuse without even thinking about it, but when I opened my mouth, I realized that I needed to find a reasonable reason, and after thinking about it, I said: "Father, uncle will not agree. Uncle doesn't care about our Zhou family... the relationship with mother is not good. Mu, my child has already experienced it personally in Nan'an City."
He didn't think that Bai Yi would be willing to accept the remarriage between the Bai family and the Zhou family. He also knew the conflict between the Zhou family and the Bai family this time. From a standpoint, it cannot be said that they did something wrong, and some of them were just winners and losers, and the Zhou family was just missing a move this time.
Zhou Jingqing got up and patted his son on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are my son, although I don't want you to let Yuanyang influence your martial arts practice prematurely, but how can you be so unconfident as the eldest son of the Zhou family? Who can Zhou Jingqing's son want to marry?
Even a princess in the palace is not considered married. As for the relationship between your uncle and your mother, that is something your mother should worry about. Go ask your mother, and let your mother do it if you want. "
