Old Mr. Bai is an out-and-out learned man with a wide range of knowledge and experience. He felt sad about the past, so he changed the subject and talked about the customs and customs in this area of the capital.
Bai Fuling, Bai Guo and the others were really boring. Many of the things he said had been mentioned by people in the capital before, but when this old gentleman said it, it was very interesting. We chatted until Haishi before we broke up and went back to rest.
Bai Fuling pulled Bai Guo and Yang Mei and said: "You have heard a lot of gossip and anecdotes about the capital from Bai Qian and Bai Wei, can you guess who this old Mr. Bai is?"
Yang Mei tried her best to think back: "Bai is the surname of the Qi State, there are too many people with the surname Bai who serve in the court..."
Bai Guo also used his brain, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I remembered, it's Bai Changshan, the second assistant to the cabinet!"
Yang Mei hesitated for a moment and said: "Baige is about the same age as this old Mr. Bai, uh, yes! He has two sons, but they both died in battle!"
The age and having two sons are consistent, but Bai Changshan's position in the cabinet is second only to Xia Ge, and he is one of the leading figures in the Qi State court. Boring to tell them a few girls about the anecdote of the capital all night? This is too unbelievable!
Bai Fuling's mind, which has been baptized by the dog blood of the 8 o'clock TV series, immediately puts out Mr. Bai's possible identity, his strange behavior tonight, the old things he said, his inexplicable familiarity with his appearance, and his father's experience. After reaching a front line, they came to a conclusion—Mr. Bai is very likely to be her real grandfather!
Bai Fuling thought about the whole thing with a strange expression, the more she thought about it, the more she resembled it, she almost wanted to run back to the capital immediately and ask her mother if there was a star-shaped scarlet birthmark on the back of her father's waist
Seeing her frowning and gritting her teeth, Bai Guo couldn't help pushing her and said, "Miss? What's wrong with you?"
Bai Fuling shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing! You should wash up and go to bed early. You go and let Bai Ah Wu and the others get ready. I want to go back to the capital tomorrow."
Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you go back tomorrow and ask your parents. If it's true, tsk tsk, daddy's value will skyrocket...
Bai Fuling has synthesized several sources of information, and probably knows some things about her father when he was young. It can be said that he had a very, very bad time when he was a teenager. She didn't know if he would resent his parents who abandoned him, but now his father has passed away. At the age when she needs a father's love, she thinks it's better to insinuate things first, and then decide whether to tell her father about Bai Changshan.
Twenty years ago, Qiufeng Pavilion was the most famous killer organization in the world. They adopted a large number of orphans and trained them to be killers. Her father Bai Chou was one of these orphans. He was very talented in martial arts, meticulous and thoughtful. He is good at responding to changes, and is highly valued by the old pavilion owner. He is an important person in the Qiufeng Pavilion. If he had never met Mu Peilan, various accidents would not have happened one after another. Maybe today there is no businessman Bai Chou, and there is no Bai Fuling. Bai Chou, the master of the Qiufeng Pavilion who kills people like hemp.
With his knees, he knew how much his father had suffered, how much blood and tears he had shed, and how many hardships and dangers he had experienced in a place like Qiufeng Pavilion. Bai Fuling felt that she was not sure whether the father wanted father and son to recognize each other.
On the other side, the little girl lit up the lamp and sent Mr. Bai back to his room. Hot water and tea had been prepared in the room. After Mr. Bai sent the little girl away, he said to the two attendants, "How do you see my granddaughter?"
Bai Guo guessed right, this old man is Bai Changshan, the second assistant to the current cabinet!
A few days ago, he wanted to go out of the city to meet an old friend who was an official, but an accident happened on the road. The horse pulling the carriage went crazy for some reason, pulling the carriage on a rampage, and almost ran into the carriage of Bai Chou and his wife. He was surprised to see Bai Chou and his wife His wife had a very similar face, and immediately remembered his eldest son who had been lost for many years, and quickly sent someone to find out Bai Chou's identity.
Due to the rush of time, he could not find many things, but he firmly believed that Bai Chou was his long-lost son, regardless of his age and appearance. He was worried that his son would hate them for abandoning him back then, so he didn't dare to recognize each other rashly.
Knowing that Bai Chou and the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhongguo have a daughter who is recuperating in the other courtyard of Yunqueshan, so I want to try it out.
One of the two attendants who was about the same age as him heard his question and laughed and said: "My lord's granddaughter, what's wrong, Jingli is very famous, she is the number one beauty and the number one woman. She is a talented woman. When I saw her today, her real name is well-deserved. Among other things, none of the ladies and ladies in Beijing can compare to her looks and talents!"
"Old Ear, you know how to make this old man happy by saying good things." Old Mr. Bai stroked the gray beard on his chin, with a hint of complacency in his tone. The full name of the "old ear" in his mouth is Bai Chuer, and he is the second housekeeper of his mansion, and he has been with him for more than thirty years. From being a servant all the way to the second housekeeper's position, he knows everything about Bai's house like the back of his hand.
However, Mr. Bai laughed for a while and couldn't help frowning: "The little girl has a straightforward temper and is very assertive. She is not like an ordinary rich lady. It seems that the rumors are true. My son really treats her like a sweetheart. No wonder she has tried everything possible To remove her name from the candidate list of concubines, it is indeed inappropriate to marry some of His Majesty's sons with such a temper."
Another attendant who was relatively younger, probably in his thirties, suddenly said, "Unfortunately, it's a girl."
This entourage is Bai Suye, the son of the chief steward of the White Mansion. What he said has two meanings. One is that if Bai Fuling is a man, then with such a temperament and knowledge, he will surely be able to achieve something in the future, but it is a pity that he is a woman. Another meaning is to consider from the master's heirs.
Bai Changshan's eldest son was lost, and his second and third sons all died in battle, leaving no half of his heirs. It was hard to find the eldest son, but it's a pity that after the age, there is only one only daughter under his knees. It is indeed a great pity in this era when the heirs of incense and fire are regarded as big as the sky.
Mr. Bai shook his head silently and said: "It is the mercy of the heavens to find my son, so how can we expect too much?"
Bai Chuan glared at Bai Suye, blaming him for not opening which pot and carrying which pot, while praying secretly in his heart. I hope that Bai Chou is really the lost eldest son of the master, and that the two father and son can get to know each other as soon as possible.
The next morning, when the weather cleared up, Bai Changshan took two of his entourages to bid farewell and left. Bai Fuling asked Bai Ashi to follow them secretly to confirm their identities, and then brought Bai Guo, Bai Awu and others back to Beijing.
Bai Fuling didn't go back to Duke Zhong's Mansion openly, but went to Shibu Lane, and then asked someone to ask her parents to meet in the secret room of the two mansions in Unicom Duke's Mansion and Shibu Lane.
Bai Aliu and Yangmei went to the Duke's mansion to see Bai Chou and his wife. When Bai Pingzi heard that Bai Fuling had arrived, he rushed back to accompany him. Bai Fuling happened to be planning to tell him about changing his surname to Lin and inheriting the dukedom as an offshoot of the Lin family.
"Have you ever seen your own face and what will you do in the future?" Bai Fuling joked.
Bai Pingzi raised his eyebrows and said: "I've read it, but I can't see anything. According to the book, I can't see my own destiny. But I am such a wise and intelligent person. It must be too good to be good, you don’t need to look to know it!”
Bai Fuling couldn't help stretching out her hand to pull his face, angrily and amusedly said: "I can see your face, do you want to listen?"
Bai Pingzi leaned back to dodge her outstretched claws, and said with a smile: "Miss can also read faces? The little ones are all ears, and the little ones only have this face. If it is torn and disfigured, it will not be allowed!"
Bai Fuling wrinkled her nose and said, "My lady sees that you have the appearance of a public official. As long as you meet a noble person, you will be able to turn around and jump over the dragon's gate!"
"Hey, I just want to be the most powerful businessman in the Qi State. I have neither the ability to be the number one scholar nor plan to join the army. How can I become a public servant? The young lady thinks highly of me!" Bai Pingzi said in shock. I can still blow.
"In the past, you couldn't do it, but when you meet a noble person like me, if I say you can, you definitely can. Go back obediently and prepare to become a public servant. It just so happens that officials and businessmen can collude with each other. It's not a dream to be the biggest profiteer in the Qi Kingdom! Bai Fuling patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "encouraging".
Bai Pingzi laughed and didn't take this to heart. Seeing that he didn't believe it, Bai Fuling told him her plan, and said, "Anyway, you don't remember what your original surname is. It doesn't matter if your surname is Bai or Lin, as long as you change your surname, you can get the title of Duke for nothing. Why not do such a good thing?"
Bai Pingzi was taken aback, slowly frowned and said, "No!"
"What's wrong? If my grandfather is really from the Lin family, then that's fine, but he is not. Why should the title he earned through hard work be cheaper than those Zhongshan wolves of the Lin family? My grandmother has no objection. It's convenient for me to take care of my Bai family's business, and it just kills two birds with one stone!" Bai Fuling stared.
"Miss, is the title given to you by the emperor a toy? You can give it to whoever you want, this... If someone exposes it, I'll be fine. The master, wife, you, and the rest of the Bai family will all be implicated."
"The one you want to impersonate is already dead. If we don't tell you, who will know your identity? You are not such a timid person. What are you struggling with?!" Bai Fuling was upset. .
Bai Pingzi hesitated but refused to say the reason. In the end, Bai Fuling forced him to hold back a sentence: "I think my surname is Bai..."
That's right! He wanted to be surnamed Bai, wanted to be with this little girl in front of him, protect her and take care of her like a brother, and didn't want to be left alone in the capital as a loyal Duke! This is his greatest wish all along.
This is also the common wish of many people who did not leave the Bai family after the high price ransom, and continued to stay here to work for this little girl.
Bai Fuling was very powerless against his "non-progressiveness" and dead-headedness, and planned to wait for his parents to come and deal with him together. Anyway, he must have the title of Duke if he doesn't want it!
Unexpectedly, they waited and waited. They didn't wait for the Bai family, but only waited for an amazing news!
