Chapter 377
Entering mid-April, the weather in the imperial city has also been warm and spring is blooming, and everything is awakened after the severe cold is gone.
Many big households in the imperial city in Chashanzhuang are about to move back to the city.
The same goes for the Xu family on the west side of the villa.
The Xu family is not from the roots of Huangcheng, their family business is in the Jingxi area, and they came here hoping to enjoy the "nobility" in the Chashanzhuang. Now that it's spring, the nobles in the villa are ready to go back to live in the city, and the Xu family will also set off to return to Jingxi.
But this day, the Xu family received an invitation card, which seemed to read: Sincerely, Bai Changqing.
Who is Bai Changqing? Everyone who lives in Chashanzhuang knows this, and the Xu family has known for a long time that this is a high official in the temple. The boss-level figure.
In the past, not to mention receiving invitations from such important people, it was a matter of embarrassment for the whole Xu family to be able to say hello when they met on the road.
Not to mention that this invitation was written by Bai Changqing himself, and he used polite words like "Sincerely" to show respect.
why? Is Bai Changqing stupid?
Of course Bai Changqing is not stupid, a fool cannot be the Minister of the Household Department.
In the private words of other families in Chashanzhuang, it is: the Xu family was lucky, and they took two young ladies into the house, which happened to touch Bai Changqing's heart.
How do you say it? When luck comes, you can't stop it!
If you want to talk about this matter, you can't finish it in a few words. At the very beginning, every household in Zhuangzi did not associate the Xu family with Bai Changqing. The difference is too far, not at the same level at all.
On the contrary, the two young ladies from the Xu family are lively and lovely, and they can always be seen in the Zhuangzi.
But later, for some reason, the sisters of the Xu family met Bai Changqing, and they seemed to be right. No, it was Bai Changqing who fell in love with her sister Hua.
They went fishing together, climbed high for fun, and some people even saw Bai Changqing put down his face to build a snowman and have a snowball fight with the Xu family sisters. There is a psychological change of rejuvenation.
Those who were interested realized that something was wrong at that time, because Bai Changqing seemed to be getting closer and closer to the two sisters of the Xu family.
In the beginning, someone threatened Xu's family, saying that he was just a mere businessman in Xu's family, and he didn't know how much he was worth if he had two bad money? How dare you intentionally put a woman next to the dignified Hubu Shangshu? This is Meishang, she is looking for death!
The Xu family was terrified at the time. They really only had a few dollars and no big backing. After being warned by the people around them, they were persuaded and wanted to run away. It seemed that they didn't have any dreams anymore.
But I don't know how Bai Changqing got the news, and rushed back from the imperial city to Chashanzhuang without a business trip, and entertained the elders and children of the Xu family on the pretext of walking around the neighborhood. And hinted during the dinner: Whoever dares to force you to leave, come and tell me, and I will support you!
The next day, those households who threatened Xu's family before came to the door with generous gifts and apologized.
At this time, as long as you are not blind or stupid, you can see what Bai Changqing's plan is, and this matter is not "just for fun", it is completely a posture of wanting to play for real.
So from that day on, the Xu family could always receive some invitations that they couldn't ask for in the past, all from the great families of Chashanzhuang.
It's just that the Xu family servants heard that the Xu family sisters didn't seem to have that kind of thought, because Bai Changqing was much older than them, and it would be too fake to say that he was sincerely willing to live with an old man. Moreover, although the Xu family was in a hurry, they did not intend to force the two girls, and they never confirmed some rumors outside.
Things seemed to freeze a bit after that. People in Zhuangzi have never seen the Xu family sisters playing with Bai Changqing. I was thinking to myself: It seems that Bai Changqing can't get sisters. That's right, it's inappropriate for an old cow to eat tender herbs, and it's normal to be disgusted. Little girl, it doesn't matter if you are a high-ranking official or not, what people like is Qiao Langjun.
In addition, Bai Changqing is said to have had a bad face after learning that Miss Xu's family didn't have that kind of thought for him and only regarded him as a playmate or "interesting uncle". Anyone with eyes can see what's going on.
I can't figure it out!
If you were Bai Changqing, you wouldn't be able to figure it out. On weekdays, a lot of people come and kneel and lick when they say a word, and women come and go as soon as they are called. When have you ever hit a wall?
Do you still have "unrequited love" when you are old?
Not to mention, Bai Changqing really felt unrequited love inside. I was so worried, but also thought it was funny. Even though he was old enough, he actually lost his mind to the two little girls. The key is that they were scared by the distraction, and now they don't show their faces.
There were quite a few people who saw the jokes, and some even laughed out loud. After all, it is rare to see the dignified Hubu Shangshu shrunken in front of the two girls.
Even the gossip that Bai Changqing wanted the old cow to eat tender grass and was rejected has spread outside the tea villa.
To be honest, Bai Changqing's face was hurt a bit. Even some furious children of the Bai family wanted to come and smash the ignorant Xu family, but they were stopped by Bai Changqing and scolded. It would be embarrassing if you really want to blame the Xu family.
Therefore, Bai Changqing can only be depressed and unhappy, drinking away his sorrows every day, often sighing and regretting that he is not in his prime, and he has no blessings to enjoy the beauty's favor again.
But God has eyes, and he never has the heart to let the infatuated people wait.
It didn't take long for a scary thing to happen in Chashanzhuang: the Xu family's business rivals recruited a few casual practitioners to kill the Xu family's backbone, and then took the opportunity to attack the Xu family's business in various places. In the end, a lot of people died in the Xu family. If it weren't for the support of the family's several defensive circles, they would not be able to survive the rescue.
Who saved it? Bai Changqing, who happened to get home and walked halfway to Chashanzhuang, got the news and rescued him in person.
Of course, the guards around Bai Changqing contributed more, but Bai Changqing was the one who attracted the most attention. How dare the guards compete with their own adults for the rare turning point of "hero saving the beauty"?
The timing was brilliant, the opportunity was rare, and the performance was outstanding.
So, what's the reason to hold back hot love?
No! Even the age difference of several times can no longer be an obstacle! Because the Xu family sisters who were rescued cried and threw themselves into the arms of the hero Bai Changqing. Seeing the pear blossoms with rain on the two small faces made Bai Changqing's heart almost break. After competing with others for most of her life, Bai Changqing thought she was old, but now she really feels young again.
"I won't let you suffer any more harm!" Bai Changqing said this firmly, and at the same time, the arms around the two women subconsciously tightened.
It was a joke before, it was a joke, but now it is a good talk.
The hero saves the beauty, with white hair and a beautiful face, this is the literati's brilliance, and it is something that can make a song. Some colleagues who are familiar with him have even joked with Bai Changqing on the way to court.
