Chapter 227
Although Lin Wu was worried, he did not act impulsively, but obediently, because he knew that no matter what he did, he would not be able to help his uncle and his brother. Fortunately, he could receive news from outside here one after another, even if it was delayed for a few days. , at least know the situation in Nan'an City, and thus deduce the situation in Baifu.
In Nan'an City, a huge bird with snow-white feathers appeared in the sky above the city lord's mansion one day later, people who were far away could see it when they looked up, and then continued to do their own things calmly, didn't they just sit on it? Individuals, not to mention birds, they have even seen flying boats, what is so rare, no matter how capable they are, they all come to Nan'an City one by one, so many people can't compete with our own people in Nan'an City.
That's what they said, but when they walked out, they all held their heads high and held their chests high. Those who came from the big places outside Nan'an City were nothing more than that.
In the guest courtyard of the city lord's mansion, when they heard the chirping of birds in the sky, the people from the Zhou family came out immediately, and the family sent someone here. This is a specially trained bird of the family, which is only used at critical moments. It took less than a day to arrive in Nan'an City, so it can be seen that they have arranged for people to come as soon as they received the letter.
Zhou Tingkai raised his head and squinted his eyes, not knowing who it would be. When he saw a figure in a purple robe appearing in his field of vision, Zhou Tingkai quickly lowered his head to hide the turbulence in his eyes.
City Lord An was listening to reports on the progress of the auction, and his subordinates came down to report: "Mrs. Bai from the Zhou family in Lincheng has come in person."
City Lord An suddenly looked out in surprise, he could still see the falling figure of the birds, only a smear of purple, and then chuckled lightly: "Come here if you come, it's just that this is Nan'an City, not Lincheng, You have to follow our rules."
It's not that he, the owner of the City Lord's Mansion, would go to receive the lady in person, but the lady's choice is the same as before. Tsk tsk, City Lord An sighed a few words and then left it behind. Patriarch Bai has never been a soft persimmon. .
The wife of the Zhou family, Bai Fengshu, was helped down from the bird, and her hair and robes were not in any disorder.Feiqin's back was very broad, and several people came down one after another, respectfully waiting beside this Mrs. Bai, surrounding her and walking in the direction the Zhou family came from.Her expression is indifferent, she is naturally noble, but she is not lacking in gentleness, but no one dares to underestimate her. After more than ten years of management, even if the Bai family is in decline, she does not rely on her natal family, and her status in the Zhou family is also insignificant. People can be shaken.
"Madam, I didn't expect Madam to come here in person. It's been a hard journey." The clan elder took the lead to greet Bai Fengshu with a look of relief on his face.
"Where, it's not as hard as the elders. After receiving the letter from the elders, my husband and I discussed that I would come over in person. Ting Kai, aren't you happy to see your mother?" Seeing Zhou Tingkai's figure lagging behind others, Bai Fengshu stretched out her hand and called He came up to speak.
Zhou Tingkai stepped forward and called respectfully: "Mother."
Bai Fengshu's beautiful eyes lingered on Zhou Tingkai's body for a while. She paid close attention to Zhou Tingkai's growth all the time. Even though they had only been separated for more than a month, she could detect abnormalities in him just by meeting him, but she said calmly, "You guys go away first." , I had a conversation with Ting Kai, and sent a letter of worship to Lord An for me, and the Zhou family borrowed the site of Lord An, so they had to pay a visit to the owner's house to say thank you."
"Sure, then we will arrange it for Madam."
"Okay, Ting Kai come with me." Bai Fengshu ordered things methodically, and then led the way. Zhou Tingkai pursed his lips and followed. He couldn't resist his mother.
Walking into the room, the servants brought tea, and Bai Fengshu, who sat on the main seat, stretched out her hand and pointed to the seat next to her: "Sit down, don't be restrained by mother's side, how did you gain from entering the secret realm this time? Seeing that your breath is stronger than when you left. So long as you grow up, as long as you grow up, your mother and your father will be gratified, and you didn't let us down."
Zhou Tingkai would be very encouraged when he heard such words before, and wished to put in more energy to gain more affirmation from his parents, but this time he walked to the side and sat down with some uneasiness, and replied: "My son is ashamed. Compared with people, the growth of a son is insignificant."
For some reason, he subconsciously concealed the near-death incident in the secret realm, and he was unwilling to mention more about Lin Wen. A few short scenes of Lin Wen getting along with his uncle flashed before his eyes, and compared with his own situation, his heart surged. From a faint envy.
"It's very good not to be arrogant or discouraged. This is the demeanor of the Zhou family's son-in-law." Bai Fengshu encouraged, and then changed the subject, "I heard that you have had contact with the Bai family? How is your uncle now? How is your health? good?"
Zhou Tingkai raised his head and saw his mother carelessly flipping the floating green leaves with a tea lid, her movements were very elegant and noble, she opened her mouth and said, "My son went to the White House to visit his uncle according to his mother's order, but the uncle still doesn't get close to his son. It’s the same as before, not much has changed.”
Bai Fengshu suddenly raised her head, her gaze was very sharp, as if she could see through Zhou Tingkai's heart in an instant, but it seemed to be just an illusion, and she took a closer look, she was still the noble and graceful wife of the head of the Zhou family, she sighed and put down the tea bowl and said: " Your uncle, you seem to have a docile temperament, but he is actually the most stubborn person. It is not easy to let go of the past, not to mention that we only met you when we were young. After getting in touch with you more, feelings will naturally form. I heard that your uncle Bringing a Bai family back? Went to the secret realm with you?"
Zhou Tingkai is not surprised that his mother is far away in Lincheng, and she knows everything about him. It seems that she has been like this since she was a child, but she doesn't know why she doesn't want to mention it, just like she concealed Lin Wen's saving his life before: "Yes, That man's name is Bai Sheng, he is a second-grade alchemist, my uncle seems to take it very seriously, breaking through to become a high-level spiritual master in the secret realm, my son is not as good as him."
"Alright, after your mother meets City Lord An, you go to the White Mansion together with your mother, and meet Bai Sheng who is valued by your uncle. Mother hasn't heard that your uncle has valued anyone for a long time." Bai Fengshu smiled lightly, even if No matter how unwilling, Zhou Tingkai had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.
The servants from outside reported that Lord An happened to be free and welcomed Mrs. Bai of the Zhou family very much. Bai Fengshu didn't see the tiredness of traveling all the way, so she just asked someone to come in to refresh her and go to see Lord An. Zhou Tingkai was waiting outside. .
Bai Mansion, when Bai Yi saw the birds in the direction of the city lord's mansion, he knew that the Zhou family had sent someone over again. These aristocratic families have their own eye-catching signs, even if they domesticate birds, there will be no duplication between the aristocratic families, otherwise Then you will be looked down upon by other families, and you must be different to highlight your family background. This is called ostentation.
Bai Yi was even interested in teasing his nephew: "See, this bird named Yuxuediao is a ostentation for the important people of the Zhou family to travel. Anyone with a little vision in the Jin Kingdom will know that the Yuxuediao belongs to the Zhou family. In order to tame the jade snow sculptures, it can be said that all financial and material resources have been spent. It just so happens that uncle is interested today, so I will popularize the ostentation of these aristocratic families for you, so that you will not be able to recognize which family the other party is from when you are out walking in the future..."
Lin Wen was quite interested at first, but the more he listened to it, the more he became dizzy. Hearing about these so-called ostentation and the fight for wealth between aristocratic families, it would be better to sit down for a while, or ponder the inheritance of Shui Li's alchemy. It's just for show, it's not very practical, it's a waste of money and manpower, I don't know what's the use of this kind of ostentation, some ostentation is too cumbersome to travel.
Looking at Lin Wen's expression, he knew that he was not interested, and Bai Yi knocked on his forehead amusedly: "You, don't worry about these troubles, when you become the No. The ostentation made others look straight." Bai Yi had no doubts about the name, and he was very optimistic about Lin Wen in the past, not to mention that now he has the alchemy inheritance of senior Shui Li. Who has such good luck as his nephew? .
"No, please don't!" Lin Wen hurriedly begged for mercy, he must have escaped as far as possible, and he is not a mascot for people to visit, he does not enjoy such ostentation at all, and Lin Wen begged for mercy The appearance made him laugh, but at this moment someone sent a letter, and Bai Yi froze when he saw the smile on his face.
"Uncle, what's the matter?" Lin Wen also put away his smiling face and asked concerned.
Bai Yi looked at Lin Wen with a complicated expression. He was just laughing at the Zhou family's ostentation. Now that the retribution came, he sighed and said, "Who do you think is the Zhou family?"
Fuck!It couldn't be what he thought, otherwise my uncle wouldn't speak in such a tone. Lin Wenzheng sat down and asked tentatively: "Uncle, can we not see her?" What is the purpose of the Zhou family's visit now? speak?Lin Wen felt bored with this Mrs. Bai, what kind of uncle did she think the Bai family was?Is she allowed to design and use endlessly?
Bai Yi stretched out his hand and patted the back of Lin Wen's hand, and sighed: "If possible, I would also like to close the door of the White Mansion to her, but you don't know her well, she won't stop until she achieves her goal, some things are better than seeing her." Just make it clear, you have to be mentally prepared, I'm afraid she won't miss you when she comes this time."
Lin Wen frowned: "Why?" Does the Bai family see whoever she wants?
"She wants to assess your potential and future. She has ambition, ability and skill. Don't underestimate her. I don't think she wants to see the White House escape her control. Awen, your appearance and achievements are variables, especially Zhou Tingkai must have someone around her, so it is impossible not to report your situation to her, and she will naturally have to see it with her own eyes." Bai Yi knew that what he said was cruel, but this was the truth, even if he knew that Lin Wen didn't care about this biological mother. There is hope in my heart, but any possibility must be extinguished.
In other words, this is a woman with a strong desire to control. Lin Wen frowned for a while and then relaxed, and the bachelor said: "Everything is blocked by my uncle, no matter whether I am Lin Wen or Bai Sheng, I have nothing to do with you." She has nothing to do with it." The two identities have nothing to do with her, no matter how strong she is, then make yourself stronger
