Chapter 377

That night, everyone from the Yao family gathered together, called Xiao Wei, Yu Zhi, and some friends Lin Rong had met in the palace, and set up a few tables lively for Lin Rong to practice.

Considering that Lin Rong would be on his way the next day, they didn't try to persuade them to drink, they just went with their whims and drank happily.

Day two.

When the genius was dim, there was movement in Yao's residence.

Lin Rong set off today, Yao's father and Yao's mother got up early, the whole family sat around, had breakfast, and then sent Lin Rong out.

Yao Shu led Ah Si, and Ah Zhi hugged his younger brother, and together they sent Lin Rong outside the city gate.

In the air, there is especially the breath after the rain the night before. In summer, the willow trees are lined up along the riverside in the outskirts of the city.

Ten miles away from the outskirts of Beijing, there is a small pavilion, simple but clean.

Yao Shu took the children inside, and said a few words to Lin Rong.

Her moist eyes were shining, she followed Lin Roe's deep eyes, and said with a smile: "We have brought the children to the west of the city so many times before, but we have never noticed that there is a pavilion here. Look at this, if you want to come It was also specially set up for a farewell."

The meaning of this sentence is too sad.

The man gave a low "um", suppressing many emotions.

Ah Si raised his head and asked, "Father, when are you coming back?"

Lin Rong stroked his daughter's soft hair, and said, "Father will come back as soon as the battle in the northwest is over."

The little girl's dark almond eyes slowly gathered moisture, she bit her lower lip, and said nothing.

Ah Zhi comforted his younger sister and said, "Erbao, don't be sad, when Dad comes back, my brother will be able to speak! Let's teach my brother how to speak at home, how good it is, huh?"

The little girl gave a soft "hmm".

The family talked for a while, watching the sky gradually brighten.

Yao Shu sighed, knowing that it was time to say goodbye.

Lin Rong looked at his wife and children, feeling reluctance in his heart, raised his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Let's come here, it's time to start."

Yao Shu nodded lightly, stepped forward to hug Lin Rong, and watched the man stride away.

Ah Si sobbed and hugged his mother, and Ah Zhi whispered to comfort her...

At this moment, Sanbao is ignorant and can't understand the meaning of parting.

Over there, Lin Zhi got on the horse, looked back at his wife and children with nostalgia, and rode off west.

……

After sending Lin Zhi away, Yao Shu took the children back.

Along the way, Ah Si was not in a high mood, but it was Ah Zhi who coaxed his sister tirelessly.

Finally, the boy finally made her laugh.

Yao Shu looked at him coldly, and suddenly realized that Ah Zhi had grown a lot taller, and he looked like a big boy even with his style.

She remembered that when Ah Zhi changed his teeth before, he would take the fallen deciduous teeth for her to keep.

Now, it has been a long time since I saw him take teeth for me, so I couldn't help asking him: "Dabao, haven't you changed your teeth recently? Aniang hasn't seen your baby teeth that fell out for a long time."

Ah Zhi turned his head, his face seemed a bit unspeakable, and he still said: "I'm changing. When I was eating at Grandpa Xie's house last time, I accidentally swallowed one..."

Ah Si opened his eyes wide, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, did you swallow your teeth in your stomach? Doesn't your stomach hurt? Have you seen a doctor?"

Ah Zhi shook his head: "No... Sister Fuli said, it's nothing serious."

Yao Shu looked at Ah Si's nervous expression, he had completely lost the worry of parting from his father, and he just asked his brother to keep asking, feeling funny in his heart...

She listened to the two children talking all the way, checked Ah Zhixin's new teeth, and arrived home unknowingly.

As soon as Yao Shu entered the door, there were servants from the Xie Mansion guarding the front yard, saying that Your Excellency would like to invite Mr. A Zhi to come over.

Ah Zhi turned around and asked Yao Shu, "Aniang, should I take my brother with me?"

Xie Qian has been busy these few days, he didn't even have time to see Lin Rong off, so he sent someone to call Ah Zhi early this morning, presumably there was something urgent.

Yao Shu shook his head: "Grandpa thank you, haven't you been staying in the palace for the past few days? I must be looking for you today for something serious. What are you doing with Sanbao to make trouble?"

Ah Zhi said "hmm" and didn't say anything.

Yao Shu sent Ah Zhi to Xie's Mansion, played with Ah Si and Sanbao for a while, and then went to Buzhuang.

When Yao Shu came back at noon, he saw that all the family members were beaming.

The woman looked puzzled, grabbed a servant who was sweeping, and asked curiously: "What happened? Why do they all look like they are celebrating the New Year?"

The servant who cleaned the house smiled and said, "Miss, don't you know? It's a good thing for young master A Zhi. The old lady gave each of our servants two taels of silver, saying that everyone should be happy!"

Yao Shu chuckled, "He is a child, what kind of happy event can he have! Didn't he celebrate his admission to the Imperial College a few days ago?"

The servant hurriedly shook his head, the smile on his face didn't fade, he just said in a repeated voice: "Miss, go to the front and see!"

Yao Shu wanted to ask again, but was pushed into the front yard, so she had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and enter the house.

As soon as he entered the door, Yao Shu saw Yao's father and Yao's mother sitting upright, and Xie Qian and a middle-aged man who looked like a literati on the other side.

The two parties sat and drank tea, and occasionally whispered a few words, while Ah Zhi sat aside respectfully and listened.

The stranger had a clear face and a good demeanor. During the conversation with Xie Qian, he was open and frank, which made Yao Shu's perception of him rise to a higher level.

Yao's mother was the first to see her daughter coming in, and said, "Ashu is back?"

Yao Shu responded, and Father Yao introduced: "Come and meet Master Bai of the Imperial College, he will be A Zhi's future teacher."

Dayan respected his teacher, even though Ah Zhi hadn't officially worshiped his teacher and offered tea, he already regarded this "Master Bai" as his teacher, so it was not unusual for him to appear in Yao's house.

Yao Shu greeted Li with a smile: "I am Ah Zhi's mother, hello Master Bai."

The other party stood up, and also made a formal salute: "In Xiabaiboze, the current Imperial Academy sacrifices wine. It turned out that my father fell in love with Lin Zhi, a good young man, and refused to let him go. However, my father is old and lacks energy. I have to let me accept disciples for him and teach him a thing or two on weekdays."

Yao Shu said politely: "Your Excellency, you are self-effacing. I have long heard that the Bai family in the capital is a scholarly family that has been passed down for a hundred years. It is really a blessing for Ah Zhi to be taught by Mr. Bai."

Bai Boze laughed and said, "Speaking of learning, I feel ashamed to compare myself to my father and Lord Xie."

Xie Qian didn't express anything, Yao Shu could hear that although Bai Boze's words were self-effacing, he really valued and admired Xie Qian's knowledge.

Yao Shu smiled slightly and said politely, "Mr. Bai, please sit down."

After they were seated, Yao Shu slowly understood what they were talking about.

Yao's father and Yao's mother were originally discussing with Xie and Bai about Azhi's apprenticeship and serving tea, but the topic gradually shifted as they talked.

Bai Boze was the first to mention it, and smiled at Yao's father and Yao's mother: "Just now, the two elders kept saying that Lin Zhi's parents were not present, and refused to give the boy a correct answer. Now that Ah Zhi's mother is here, can we talk about it?" Talk about it?"

Yao's father and Yao's mother smiled, Ah Zhi's face turned red all of a sudden, but Xie Qian still looked calm.

Yao Shu was a little surprised, so he asked, "I don't know what Mr. Bai said?"

This Bai Boze looked quite old, but it was actually the face of being strictly disciplined by his father since he was a child, and staying up all night studying all year round.

His original age was not much older than Yao Shu and Lin Rong.

In recent years, his father has been in poor health, so he retired from the post of Jijiu in Guozijian.

Now, at the time when the Bai family was in the middle of nowhere, and Bai Boze was the only son, he had no choice but to shoulder the pressure and take over his father's responsibilities.

Now that he has only one daughter under his knees, he had no choice but to search for someone who could inherit the mantle of the Bai family. When he first saw this child, Ah Zhi, he paid attention to it.

Now that the words are on his lips, Bai Boze doesn't care about the rules and the lack of face. He smiled and boasted to Yao Shu: "This year, there are very few candidates who are in line with my wishes in the Imperial College Unified Examination, but it is Lin Zhi's short essay." The article directly hit my heart. I asked later, this child is the blood of the Xie family. Although he is not like the children of ordinary aristocratic families who urinate and study, he is exceptionally talented and intelligent, and has far surpassed everyone..."

Yao Shu smiled and listened to his uninterrupted praise words, he couldn't help yawning, and thought to himself: I didn't sleep well last night, and I went to send Lin Roe off again this morning, I really want to go back to the house to catch up on sleep ...

Until Bai Boze sincerely said this sentence: "Now the direct branch of the Bai family has only the next wife, and there is only a six-year-old daughter in the family. If Mrs. Lin can trust the family style of the Bai family, can you consider marrying Qin and Jin?"

The teacup Yao Shu was holding in his hand shook, and he was scared away when he fell asleep.

There was a moment of blankness in her mind, and she even suspected that she had heard it wrong: "Mr. Bai, what do you mean..."
