"Girl, the old man hasn't finished speaking yet. Don't I do this for you, old man? Also, you should at least take a look at the candidate the old man has chosen for you." Bai Chongyuan seemed not to notice the anger on Bai Xi's face. He didn't even hear her complaint, but spoke hurriedly.
"Okay, you big-headed ghost, if you want to marry, you can marry yourself." Bai Xi did not stop when she spoke, but accelerated her pace. As soon as she finished speaking, she had already walked out of Mo Xuanyuan.
Bai Jinhang and Bai Yujie, who came from the other side, happened to see Bai Xi's back walking away quickly. Maybe Bai Xi was too angry, or maybe she didn't want to talk to anyone at this time, but Bai Jinhang called out from behind several times without getting an answer.
"Xi'er is angry with your grandfather again? Jie'er, go and have a look."
In fact, he didn't need to say anything. Bai Yujie had already taken steps to catch up. Bai Jinhang didn't say anything more and walked directly into Mo Xuanyuan. However, he just heard Bai Chongyuan complaining, "Damn girl, you don't know how to respect your elders at all. How dare you Show your shameful face to the old man, really."
"It's not because she inherited your father's bad temper." Bai Jinhang shook his head and smiled.
"That's right. Fortunately, you inherited your mother's tenderness and considerateness. Otherwise, the old man would definitely be mad at you guys now." As Bai Chongyuan spoke, his face looked much better, and he felt a little proud. .
"Then how did Xi'er make her father angry?" Bai Jinhang said with a gentle smile, as if the two people chatting at this time were not father and son, but a pair of old friends. In fact, Bai Jinhang felt that he was more like As a father, in the past few years, my father has really come back to life more and more, almost like a child. Especially when he was getting along with Xi'er, they were most similar at that time. They didn't have the majesty that an elder should have at all, but they still talked about respecting their elders all day long, just like he did just now, hey.
"Isn't it just to remind her that she is fifteen now and it's time to get married? It would be better for her to just leave. She won't even have a chance to speak to the old man. Tell me, is this the attitude a junior should have towards her elders? ?" Bai Chongyuan puffed his beard and said with a glare, but there was no hint of anger in his eyes.
After Bai Jinhang heard this, he sighed slightly, "Father, Xi'er is only fifteen, how can she not be angry if you let her get married? Xi'er's temper looks calm and well-behaved, but in fact she has a bullish temper. And "Does father want what happened back then to happen again?" Hey, this can't be blamed on Xi'er, but father is a little impatient. How many more years does he plan to keep Xi'er by his side? But my father...
Bai Chongyuan suddenly fell silent, his face suddenly became serious, a trace of sadness slipped through his eyes, and his tone became lower, "Don't I also want to find someone to protect Xi'er?"
"We at Baifu can also protect Xi'er."
"That's good, but there is someone who is more suitable." He didn't mean to push Xi'er out, but that person was indeed more suitable to protect Xi'er than Bai Fu.
"What father said is..." Bai Jinhang's eyes lit up.
"Well, that's him."
"But he may not be willing." Bai Jinhang said in a deep voice. Indeed, that person was more suitable than them, but how could that person be willing.
"There are no absolutes in this world."
Bai Jinhang looked at his confident father and seemed to be infected by him, and the sadness in his heart also dissipated a little.
"On the Mid-Autumn Festival, you take that girl into the palace to attend the palace banquet." Bai Chongyuan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked up at Bai Jinhang.
"Did father want to create opportunities for them?"
"No, in addition to being the Mid-Autumn Festival, that day is also the birthday of the current Queen Mother. It must be very lively that day. Let the girl join in the fun. It is best for her to learn how to respect the elderly." After saying this, a hint of cunning flashed in Bai Chongyuan's eyes. .
Bai Jinhang opened his mouth, but in the end he remained silent. He shook his head, sighed again, and finally nodded. He believed that his father must have done this for his reasons.
other end
It didn't take Bai Yujie long to catch up with Bai Xi. The latter only slowed down but didn't take the initiative to speak. It wasn't until they walked a certain distance that she slowly spoke, "That damn old man, before you I was looking for a woman for you some days, but now I am looking for a man. Isn’t he too laid-back? He has nothing to do all day long and his mind is filled with all kinds of messy things.”
After hearing this, Bai Yujie's eyes flickered. In the end, he didn't show much clarity. He just smiled warmly and patted Bai Xi's head lovingly, "Grandpa was just joking with you. How could Grandpa be willing to let you leave so early?" Beside him.”
"Hmph, I think he wishes he could get me out of his sight as soon as possible."
"Be good, don't be angry. Look, my brother has prepared a gift for you. Do you like it?" As Bai Yujie spoke, he took out a small wooden box as big as a palm from his sleeve.
Bai Xi glanced at Bai Yujie with confusion on her face. Could it be some kind of Zhu Chai? She really had no interest in those things. However, when she opened the wooden box and saw the silver needle inside, her eyes were filled with confusion. More confused.
"Compared with hairpins, silver needles are more accurate; and this is a silver needle made of thousands of years of ice. It will never melt easily, but when it dissolves in human blood, it can melt and disappear instantly." Bai Yujie said slightly He said with a smile that he specially sent someone to make this after Xi'er shot Xia Xue's throat instantly with a hairpin last time.
"Thank you, brother."
"You can carry it with you at ordinary times, and it can also help you beat the heat." As long as he can see her happy, he is willing to give anything.
"Brother is the best to Xi'er." Compared to the old man, this brother is simply too good.
Bai Yujie smiled fondly and said gently, "Go back to the yard quickly. It's time for my brother to go back to find grandpa."
Bai Xi nodded, but before leaving, he did not forget to say this warning to the old man, "Tell the old man that as long as I don't agree, never think of marrying me off, otherwise he will be responsible for the consequences." After saying this, Bai Xi He also walked away.
Bai Yujie's doting eyes darkened instantly after Bai Xi left, replaced by pain. Was he destined to be just her brother in this life
As soon as Bai Xi returned to Xiyuan, she saw that the whole yard was covered with books, and Mu Qiu and others kept moving stacks of books out of the house. Are they showing off their books? But isn’t their so-called Book Sharing Festival already over? Why are you still posting books now
"Dong dong", I saw a maid holding a high stack of books stepped in the air and accidentally fell. The books in her hand also flew out, and one of them flew to Bai Xi's feet. .
"I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong."
"Go on." Bai Xi said lightly and picked up the book at her feet. However, when she saw the content on it, she was startled and her black pupils shrank. This was...
