Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 79 Bai Xiongqi

During this time, the Bai family and Lu Heng were indeed trying to distance themselves from each other.

On the first day of the new year, Bai Jingqi went back and talked about it - although he didn't know what was going on, he knew it was not a good thing.

After Bai Erye and Bai Wenshi knew about it, they thought about it for a while, and the idea of ​​alienation came into their hearts.

Lu Heng said his own grudges and did not want to implicate the Bai family.

This hatred has something to do with Yuan Gongbao, who has just been promoted to governor of Shandong and is valued by Li Zhongtang!
This is no small matter!
The Bai family once had a hard time with the Zhan Wangfu, and later suffered a big loss.Not to mention the cup bow snake shadow, but also keep it in mind.And King Zhan is just an idle prince.

It is said that it is the prince, but there is no real power in his hands.

However, just like this, the entire Bai family was almost lost.

In comparison, the governor of Shandong is a figure with real power, with the terrifying Li Hongzhang standing behind him!
Where did the Bai family offend?
Where did the Bai family dare to contaminate it?
So they felt sorry for them, so Bai Erye and Bai Wenshi decided to distance themselves from Lu Heng.

But they didn't tell Bai Sanye about this.The third master Bai is a man who can't hide his words. If he is taught to know, and he speaks out with a big mouth, one is not good-looking in face, and the other is that if it spreads to the ears of some big person, it is all right, but something will happen.

However, Third Master Bai is not a fool after all, and he gradually sees some clues.

After communicating with Lu Heng that day, I came back to make a fuss, but Bai Erye and Bai Wenshi were killed and didn't say anything.Bai Sanye has been angry these days.

It's about so many people in the Bai family. It's impossible for Bai Wenshi to compromise with the third master Bai on this matter.

But this time, Lu Heng was invited to the banquet.

It was a guest.

At noon the next day, Lu Heng took Jiu'er to Bai's house.

Bai Sanye welcomed the two of them into the door, and said as he walked, "It's Uncle Jinlingtang's family."

When Lu Heng heard these words, he couldn't help but startled.

Almost forgot all - he still has a marriage, it should be in Jinling Bai's house!

I already knew it in my heart—mostly because of this, I invited him to the banquet.

After entering the courtyard, Bai Wenshi was waiting long ago. She and Lu Heng said, "Your second uncle is in the living room. Go see him."

He waved to Jiu'er again, looked at Jiu'er, whose temperament had changed drastically, and said with a smile, "It looks a little bit. Let's go, talk to my aunt."

Lu Heng nodded and went straight to the living room.

The third master Bai was in front and shouted: "Second brother, our nephew is here."

Entering the door, I saw Bai Yingxuan sitting at the top, and a young man in his twenties sat beside him.

This young man has the appearance of a new youth, with short hair and wearing a suit, vest, and leather shoes!
This is really surprising.

On the capital's side, although there are already no braids, but the foreigners in suits and leather shoes are extremely rare except for the foreigners in Minxiang in the east suburbs.

In comparison, although he was also short, Lu Heng, who was wearing a long shirt and cloth shoes, looked like a douchebag.

Seeing Lu Heng coming in, Second Master Bai waved and smiled, "Come and sit down."

Lu Heng cupped his hands, called his second uncle, and sat down.

Bai Yingxuan pointed at the young man and said to Lu Heng, "This is Bai Xiongqi."

Bai Xiongqi stretched out his hand: "Hello, Brother Lu Xian."

Lu Heng felt a little strange - is this a handshake?

Shaking hands with him, he said, "Hello, Brother Bai."

They sit down again.

Afterwards, it turned out that Bai Xiongqi was a member of the Bai family in Jinling.He called the second master Bai and the third master Bai as uncles, and he was the same generation as Lu Heng.

Moreover, he is the elder brother of Bai Xiuzhu, who is married to Lu Heng!
After knowing this, Lu Heng didn't think so.This marriage contract seemed superfluous.If it weren't for the presence of Mr. Bai Mengtang and Lu Heng's mother, Bai Yali, Lu Heng would not have taken it to heart.

So he seemed very indifferent.

Bai Xiong said: "Uncle Xuan, I came to the capital this time, firstly to visit you and Uncle Yu, and secondly to go to the Jingshi University to apply for study abroad."

Said: "It was a bit presumptuous to send someone here yesterday. I really couldn't get out of it yesterday."

He also came today.Maybe he just arrived, only one step faster than Lu Heng.

Bai Yingxuan smiled and said, "Recall that when your family moved out of the capital, you were only ten years old. Now you are a good boy."

Quite a sigh.

Third Master Bai said, "Xiong Qi, do you want to study abroad?"

Bai Xiong started his head: "Yes, Uncle Yu."

Bai Sanye said in surprise: "If you say go abroad, why come to the capital?"

Lu Heng interjected at this time: "Brother Bai is going to go to the official career?"

The third master Bai showed a sudden realization, and Bai Xiongqi nodded with a smile: "What my virtuous brother said is good. I really want to pursue a career. That's why I apply for studying abroad through the Beijing Normal University."

If you only go abroad, you don't have to come to the capital at all.He had to follow the path of the Imperial Academy, but in fact, he took the path sent by the imperial court, so that he could directly enter the official position after returning from his studies.

Bai Yingxuan smiled and said, "Okay, have ambition."

Bai Xiongqi sighed: "I'm really fed up with the anger in the officialdom. Since I moved to Jinling, my family has faced many difficulties. What if I have money? If I don't have power, I can only be slaughtered.

According to this, the Bai family in Jinling must have suffered a lot as an official.

This year, called the three-year Qing Dynasty prefect, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver.The darkness of the Qing Dynasty does not mean that if you have money, you can be safe by following the rules.

Then he smiled and said, "My companion came back yesterday and told me about Brother Lu Xian, which really made me both surprised and happy. Considering the marriage contract between Brother Lu and his sister, it's been seven or eight years. I still remember the two old ladies. It was personally decided. Sure enough, fate is fate."

Bai Yingxuan nodded and said, "It is indeed fate."

Here he asked Lu Heng: "My brother is seventeen years old. I don't know what to do with the future?"

Lu Heng smiled lightly and said, "Just go with the flow."

Third Master Bai hurriedly said, "you are modest."

Then he turned to Bai Xiongqi and said: "He has just come to the capital for more than half a year, and he has already made millions of businesses. He has also made friends with many powerful people, whether it is the father-in-law in the palace, the ministers in the official circle, or even the famous person Gao Xianchang next to the Queen Mother. , have a great friendship."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Heng felt helpless.

What kind of person Bai Xiongqi was, Lu Heng could already see it in just a few words.This is a man who yearns for power and is extremely ambitious.

Although his words were gentle, he actually did not look down on Lu Heng very much.

Lu Hengben is also happy to see it happen.

But what Bai Sanye said is a bad thing!

Sure enough, when Bai Xiong heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he praised, "Brother Xian is a capable person."

Then he asked in more detail.

Lu Heng didn't answer much, but Third Master Bai made Lu Heng's bottom clear.

Bai Xiong said with a smile: "Sifang Garden? I heard about it when I first arrived in the capital the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be the property of Xiandi. I just have a few days to spare. I wonder if Xiandi would welcome me to Sifang Garden as a guest? "

What else can Lu Heng say?
I had no choice but to nod: "Peng Dishenghui."

When it was time to eat, Bai Xiongqi was already familiar with Lu Heng.However, this person has a good grasp of the degree and is not annoying.
