The Road to Dominance in All Worlds, Starting from Brother Qiang

Xiaoqing's suggestion was originally just casually, but Murong Bai opened his eyes after hearing it, and responded to Xiaoqing solemnly, "If Xu Xian really can't show the slightest bit of reading If he is talented, sending him to Zhu Yun as an apprentice is indeed a good choice."

Immediately, they discussed many details with Xiaoqing, such as asking Xu Xian to chop firewood or carry water, such as the monthly rules on how much money to give Xu Xian.

The more Xiao Qing talked, the more energetic she became, to the point that she didn't realize at all that what Murong Bai had said was just joking with her.

Or Bai Suzhen couldn't see it, raised her hand and patted Murong Bai's forehead lightly, and said angrily to him, "She's a child, so you are messing around with her too?"

"If it wasn't for my ignorance of those things, I would have just accepted him as a disciple. Why would I need to be called a teacher's wife?"

Bai Suzhen's rebuke forced Murong Bai and Xiao Qing to hold back their words.

Xiaoqing made a funny face at Murong Bai, and then directly snatched Bai Suzhen away from Murong Bai.

Hugging Bai Suzhen's arm, she just kept acting like a baby.

Murong Bai had no choice but to stand up and walk to the side of his guqin.

Then she turned around and asked Bai Suzhen, "I'll play a new song for you, okay?"

Chapter 1302 Examination

Chapter 1302

Murong Bai wanted to play a new piece, not to mention Bai Suzhen's place, even Xiao Qing would not have any objections.

The two of them turned their expectant eyes to Murong Bai, and after Murong Bai calmed down his mood a little, he smiled and said to Bai Suzhen, "It was just written two days ago, so it's not very subtle. , but it is full of the soft wind of the south of the Yangtze River, you should not hate it."

When Bai Suzhen heard this, she also responded with a smile, "I really like whatever music my husband plays."

On the other hand, Xiaoqing immediately made a nauseous and retched appearance, expressing that she couldn't eat such a big bowl of dog food.

"vomit!"

But her deliberate playfulness caused Murong Bai and Bai Suzhen to laugh together. Xiao Qing was so distressed that she could only throw an empty teacup towards Murong Bai first, and then hugged Bai Suzhen tightly. With one arm, she pursed her mouth and acted coquettishly.

Looking at the movement and stillness in front of him, each with their own merits, the two sisters Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing who are like twin sisters, Murong Bai first let out a laugh, and then lightly rested his ten fingers on the strings of the zither.

Twist your fingertips and play a series of beautiful notes, but in a short while, the ripples on the water surface of the West Lake caused by the wind spread far away, causing many passers-by to stop , cast his eyes on the small boat that Murong Bai and the others were in...

Seven days later, Xu Xian was led outside Murong Bai's house by Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong.

Shen had received Murong Bai's order long ago, now seeing that the Li family and his wife brought Xu Xian here in March, they arrived here on time, and immediately welcomed the three of them into the courtyard.

And because Li Gongfu and the others came here today to ask Murong Bai to examine the results of Xu Xian's hard study for the past three months, therefore, Elder Shen took them directly to a small garden in the backyard, and Murong Bai was just now. Holding a pair of scissors, together with Bai Suzhen, they were pruning the budding peony branches in the garden.

"Prince, Miss Bai."

Because coming here today is considered to be asking for something from others, so Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong can be regarded as observing the etiquette, and under their instructions, after Murong Bai and Bai Suzhen heard the movement, they turned to look at them Afterwards, Xu Xian immediately bowed down, bowed deeply towards Murong Bai, and lifted the Analects of Confucius that Murong Bai had given him in his hand.

"Oh? Are you here?"

Murong Bai smiled and nodded to Li Gongfu and his wife, and motioned Xu Xian to stand up first.

Immediately, he put down the scissors in his hand, first greeted them to sit down in the gazebo next to the garden, and waited for the elder Shen to bring tea and cakes, then smiled and put his eyes on Xu Xian, looking at him Asked, "Three months have passed now."

"Have you memorized all the contents of the book I gave you?"

Before today, Xu Jiaorong had already told Xu Xian more than once.

Therefore, he is very clear that today's trip will have an extremely critical impact on his future, whether he can fulfill his father's last wish, and whether he can fulfill the expectations of his sister and brother-in-law.

Therefore, after hearing Murong Bai's question at this time, he immediately replied respectfully, "Return to Prince, Xu Xian has written down all the contents in the book."

After hearing Xu Xian's words, Murong Bai nodded slightly towards him, and then asked again, "Can you recite it backwards?"

Murong Bai's questioning was really too fast, and in the questioning, he mentioned the word "reciprocal like fluent", which made Xu Xian's heart tense, and he suddenly became a little uneasy.

"This……"

He hesitated and didn't dare to answer, for fear that if he answered incorrectly, he would leave a bad impression on Murong Bai.

But after seeing Xu Xian's appearance like this, Murong Bai intensified the oppressive force of his words, and after a soft snort, he asked Xu Xian coldly, "Scholars of my generation, if you can, you can, and if you can't, you can't, The so-called preferring to take the middle is just like that.”

"I just ask you, can you or can't you?"

Murong asked questions like beads, which made Xu Xian feel uneasy, and his body, which was standing respectfully, shook a few times involuntarily.

Although he regained his composure quickly, when Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong saw him, he couldn't help but wiped off Xu Xian's cold sweat fiercely.

They knew very well that if Xu Xian wanted to go to school, fulfill Xu Xiucai's last wish before his death, and have a chance to go to the imperial examinations and come back, then today would be Xu Xian's last and only chance.

If today's opportunity is missed and the possibility of becoming a disciple under Murong Bai's sect is lost, then from now on, Xu Xian can only find another private school run by someone like Qian Laosan, and learn some words and counting in it. , and then after another three or two years, it's time to choose a professional career and send Xu Xian to be an apprentice to learn a craft that can survive.

Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong were both worried about Xu Xian, but because of Murong Bai's current appearance, Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong did not even dare to breathe, and could only fidget and watch the only one in the audience who remained standing. Xu Xian kept praying to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, hoping that Xu Xian could remember what the couple had told him earlier, and he must not lose the chain now.

Bai Suzhen is a careful person, she saw the nervousness of Li Gongfu and his wife at this moment.

So after personally pouring a cup of tea for the couple, he lowered his voice and said a few comforting words to them.

Bai Suzhen's series of actions relieved the tension of Li Gongfu and his wife.

But when they calmed down and looked at Xu Xian again, they saw that after Xu Xian had been silent for a long time, he finally showed a touch of determination on his face.

He gritted his teeth, raised his head abruptly, and said a firm word to Murong Bai, "Yes!"

Seeing that Xu Xian was not too cowardly today, Li Gongfu, Xu Jiaorong and his wife were all secretly relieved, and on Murong Bai's face, they couldn't help showing a slight smile.

"Please examine, sir."
