The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 76

"Brother Huaixian, you're just kidding. She's the daughter of a politician. How can I get so high?"

Bai Gui drank a sip of the red wine in the goblet, he woke up well and had a mellow taste.

The Cultural Salon of Wu Mansion is not only held in a venue that combines Chinese and Western styles, but also caters for different guests in terms of food. There are Chinese-style meals and Western-style meals, and the luxury of Wu Mansion is revealed everywhere.

Xuezheng, the full name is Admiral Xuezheng, commonly known as Xuetai, in charge of education and scientific examination in a province.There is no fixed grade, and they are all Jinshi's simple use. They must be two-ranked Jinshi. If you are taught by a servant, you will be from the second rank, and if you are taught by a doctor, you will be the fifth rank.

This official is not a local official, but an official appointed by the emperor himself, similar to an imperial envoy.

So the status is respected.

"Since ancient times, there has been a list to catch a son-in-law, and studying politics is also a love of heroes. With Brother Bai's knowledge and talent, it is enough..."

Wu Huai first spoke concisely and pointedly.

What he said is true, there is a big gap between a scholar and a scholar, such as Bai Gui, who is only one step away from becoming a scholar, has a bright future and the possibility of studying abroad, although it is a little bit different compared to the daughter of Xuezheng Family status is not enough.

But family status is not absolute...

Bai Gui smiled and didn't say anything. It's fine to listen to these words, it's true, it's possible, but the process is often unsatisfactory, and the end of forcibly climbing the family is definitely not good.

However, he also took a closer look at the girl standing next to the piano. She was dressed luxuriously and wore a blue dress. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old. It was raised by reading poetry and books.

While speaking, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the group of ladies came over.

In the feudal era, women often didn't have much free time, so activities such as outings, outings, or poetry clubs were often used to choose husbands and husbands. This cultural salon also has some meaning...

In the living room of the Wu Mansion, there are not only the three people sleeping with Bai Gui at this moment, but also other young people who were invited by the invitation, about 20 people, all of whom are the sons of politicians, businessmen, celebrities and gentry, in their youth and prime of life.

Sit on the corner counter, drink and chat.

Soon, when the daughter of a politician came over, her eyes lit up, she said a few words to the girls who were traveling with her, and then walked straight over.

"Brother Huaixian, this is your roommate, the head of this year's government?"

Xuezheng Qianjin gave a slight blessing, and then asked with a slightly shy face.

After finishing the Chinese etiquette, she stretched out her long-sleeved gloves made of lace gauze, signaling for a handshake.

Bai Gui was stunned for a moment, but he also came to his senses, stopped bowing his hands, and quickly stretched out his hand to shake it.Western etiquette must also be taught in women's schools. At the moment, they are all wearing suits in the salon, so the handshake ceremony is not so strange.

What surprised him a little was that he thought Xuezheng Qianjin was interested in him, but he didn't expect that after greeting him, he chatted with Wu Huaiyuan, looking very familiar.

After listening for a while, he also understood the general idea.

Xuezheng Qianjin and Wu Huaixian have known each other for several years, and Xuezhengqianjin also has a good impression of Wu Huaixian. After all, he can be adopted by Zhou Ying, and his appearance is not bad.

It's a pity that Lang is ruthless, but my concubine is interested.

Bai Gui secretly scolded Wu Huaixian for being dishonest, and even tried to match him up with Xuezheng Qianjin to avoid this matter. Fortunately, he didn't take the blame just now, otherwise...it would be embarrassing.

However, this incident was like pouring cold water on his forehead, which made him sober up a lot.

Seeing that Wu Huaixian was chatting with Xuezheng Qianjin, Bai Gui and Liu Mingda looked at each other, and felt that they were a bit of an eyesore here, so they nodded together, moved a little away, and came to the side where the piano was placed just now.

During the period, there were some noble girls who showed affection for him, but they were from lower families, and they were all daughters of rich families in the provincial capital. He declined them one by one without showing any emotion.

Everyone is very realistic!

Bai Gui sighed softly in his heart.

He calmed down and didn't care about these trivial matters. While talking with Liu Mingda, talking about some interesting things in history and life, or discussing the news published in the newspaper, he looked around.

At first, the boys and girls in the cultural salon were very restrained, but after a while, they talked freely, and it seemed that he and Liu Mingda were a little lonely.

As for Liu Mingda, his family has already engaged in a marriage. He is a young lady from the south, a Jiangnan woman, and they will get married after returning to China after staying in Japan.

"I find Goethe's poem very interesting, 'Is it a living object that is divided in two within itself, or are two lives joined together that we see as one.'"

Bai Gui sighed, reciting Goethe's famous "Ginkgo Biloba Leaf" softly, with amusement in his eyes.

Liu Mingda couldn't help laughing out loud. This poem has biological knowledge, which is mitosis in botany. It was discovered by Fleming in Germany in 1882 and taught by Shi Wuzhai of the Normal School a few days ago.

The atmosphere of the cultural salon in the living room is exactly in line with it.

"Brother Bai really doesn't utter dirty words when swearing!"

Wu Huai came over with a look of embarrassment on his face. He happened to hear the poems of this song sung by Bai Gui, and he smiled wryly.

"I'll be the host another day and make amends for Brother Bai."

He apologized.

"That's fine, don't go back on your word."

Bai Gui quickly agreed, raised his glass and touched Wu Huaiyuan.

However, at this moment, out of the corner of Bai Gui's eyes, through the mosaic glass window in the living room, he caught a glimpse of a figure passing by the moon gate. .

"It's Daoist Zhang..."

Thanks to his good memory, Bai Gui could recognize at a glance that the Taoist just now was Zhang Zhishun, Taoist Zhang, whom he had met in Bailu Academy before.

"What about him?"

Wu Huaixian also looked up and said: "He has been looking for my mother several times these days, but I don't know what to talk about, every time I can see him come out dejected..."

When Bai Gui heard this, his face showed surprise, and after thinking for a while, he cupped his hands, with a trace of solemnity on his face, "Brother Huaiyuan, please take me to meet Daoist Zhang, he has an old relationship with my husband..."

Daoist Zhang's moral character is obvious to all. To be able to come to the Wu Mansion, but to come out dejectedly, he must be asking for something. Otherwise, a Daoist priest will go to see a widow in private many times, which will inevitably affect Zhou Ying's reputation...

In addition, he has also benefited from Mr. Zhu's kindness many times, so he can't pretend not to see this kind of thing, because he doesn't know the kindness.Besides, he also wants to meet with Daoist Zhang now to learn something...

"Okay, I'll ask..." Wu Huai first heard this, and there was no reason to refuse. Although he didn't know what Bai Gui wanted to do, it was not difficult and it was not a request. He summoned A servant asked Daoist Zhang where he was waiting to meet his wife, and asked the servant to take Bai Gui to the small courtyard where he was waiting.

　Thank you for the 100 starting coins rewarded by Dao Kun, the 100 starting coins rewarded by Wenqin awi, the 1500 starting coins rewarded by Liuliubuer, the 100 starting coins rewarded by Moji, and the 100 starting coins rewarded by Soul Xiaocao
