"Girl, have you brought those books?"
"Yes." Bai Xi took out the book directly from the wide sleeve, but she did not notice that while she was taking the book, Bai Chongyuan motioned a middle-aged man to step back with his eyes.
"Girl, this other one was given to you by that boy from the Feng family."
Bai Xi curled her lips. It seemed that she had found the right person. Maybe this old man was the one who could help her move the big stone. "Old man, it seems that I asked first."
"Girl, I didn't ask you just now, old man, and this book originally belonged to the Feng family. Now that it will appear in your hand, it is naturally given to you by the boy from the Feng family. Could it be that it is the old man and me? Is that wrong? You stole this? Girl, it’s not that the old man looks down on you. With your current ability, it’s probably difficult to get within three steps of that boy from the Feng family." Bai Chongyuan said bluntly, It's not that he underestimated this girl, but that was simply the truth.
"Have you ever flattered your own granddaughter like you? What a stinky old man." Although that is said, it is indeed good. If you want to get close to Feng Ming, she is still very weak compared to Feng Ming; however, She also knew one thing from the old man's words, that is, the book Feng Ming gave her originally belonged to the Feng family. If that was the case, why did he give it to her? And you have to memorize the contents by heart on the same day? Besides, how did he know that the other three books would be with her? Is it a coincidence? Or…
"Then what do you think you deserve to praise me, old man?" Bai Chongyuan was already used to Bai Xi's way of speaking, and he liked it very much.
Bai Xi moved her mouth. Indeed, she really had nothing to praise the old man now, "Smelly old man, I have been spared by you. Do you want to tell me the source of these books? And , how come they are related to the Feng family?"
Bai Chongyuan smiled and flipped through it casually, "Girl, do you understand the contents?"
"kindness."
"Also remember the contents?"
"Yes." What does the old man want to do
Bai Chongyuan suddenly stopped flipping through the books, "In this case, there is no need for them to stay in the world." After saying this, the four books suddenly flew out of his hand and were accurately thrown into the The returning middle-aged man held the copper basin in his hand.
"Old man, you..." Bai Xi didn't expect Bai Chongyuan to do this at all, and it was already too late for her to take back the book, because the moment the book was thrown into the copper basin, the middle-aged man had immediately lit a fire, and the copper basin was filled with fire. The book burned instantly, and the fire was not small.
"Smelly old man" Bai Xi did not immediately put out the fire, but just glared at Bai Chongyuan. Because she knew that the brazier had been poured with lamp oil, and there was a lot of it. Even if she put out the fire, the books inside would be almost burned. It was like this. Why should she bother to save what was impossible to save? thing.
The old man's move was clearly intentional. It could even be said that he was already preparing to do this the moment she took out the book. But, why
"Old man, I am doing this to save some space on the bookshelf for you. Anyway, you have already memorized the contents. If it is gone, it will be gone. Be good, don't be angry with the old man, okay?" Bai Chongyuan said with a very obedient smile. With.
save space? The corner of Bai Xi's mouth twitched. Fortunately, this smelly old man could come up with such an excuse.
"Well, in order to make up for my fault, old man, I will let you enter the palace to have some fun during this year's Mid-Autumn Festival. How about that?"
"It's not rare." After realizing that the old man would not tell the truth, Bai Xi said lightly, stood up and turned around to leave.
"Girl, why don't you ask Jie'er to accompany you to the palace?"
Unfortunately, his temptation was not successful, and someone continued to move forward.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace is very lively. There are delicious food, drinks, and fun things. The most important thing is that most of our outstanding men from Huashan will gather on that day."
It's a pity that his words still failed to stop Bai Xi.
"That boy from the Feng family will also return to Beijing that day and attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace." Finally, Bai Chongyuan used his trump card. Sure enough, his words did make Bai Xi pause for a moment as he just walked out of the threshold, but she was very disappointed. He quickly returned to normal and left Mo Xuanyuan directly.
Bai Chongyuan did not continue to speak loudly, but let Bai Xi leave, but the smile on his face was so bright!
"Why don't the old general tell the second lady the reason directly? I think the second lady must be angry with the old general." The middle-aged man said slowly.
"This girl's tolerance is not that small." After saying this, Bai Chongyuan looked at the ashes in the basin and became dazed.
On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival
Bai Xi looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. She was dressed in a snow-white robe, with a long white silk belt tied around her waist, and a jade pendant of mutton-fat white jade tied on it. Her smooth black hair was tied high. Lifting up, revealing the white neck, above are two pink lips like roses, a small and straight bridge of the nose, and above that, under the long eyelashes, are a pair of clear eyes like morning dew, with a complexion as crystal clear as jade , the whole face is impeccable, she is simply a typical beauty, oh, no, I should say a handsome man.
She decided to appear in the eyes of the world in this look today. She wanted to see how they would find her and take her into the palace for a "blind date"
The corners of Bai Xi's mouth turned up slightly, and her eyes were full of smiles. She remembered that after she came back from the old man that day, Xiao Qiuqiu told the eldest lady that they had just sent someone to deliver the skirt she wore to the palace and the jewelry she wore on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The speed of these people is really fast. This person just told her that in order to make up for burning her books, he decided to let himself go to the palace to have a big meal and play, but the other person had already given what he wanted. The outfit was ready, which was obviously something that had been arranged long ago. In addition, compared to the old man asking her to enter the palace to have fun, she believed that this so-called palace banquet was a blind date in disguise.
However, the old man seemed to have overestimated her. With her "ugly face", how could she catch the eyes of those "second and third generation rich".
Bai Xi took one satisfied look at herself in the glasses before leaving quietly. If she didn't leave, she would have no chance.
She had specially investigated and found that every corner of Xiyuan was guarded by hidden guards who were actually meant to prevent her from escaping from the house. And there was not just one, but several. Damn, how many people did it take to guard a corner? ? However, there is one place that is not only free of hidden guards, but also very safe, and that is the wall separated from Feng Ming's Yueluoxuan.
Anyway, that person was not there at this time, so she took the opportunity to leave there. After quickly climbing over the wall, Bai Xi glanced at the open space in front of her, and then subconsciously glanced at the closed door, almost At the same time, the closed door suddenly opened, and a white figure suddenly appeared at the door, a pair of golden eyes meeting her black ones.
