Chapter 947 Wenquxing Descends to Earth
After the warning, Bai Yunxi felt relieved, and knew that Xiaowu was not the kind of person who would show off.
Mu Family,
Old Lady Mu leaned on the soft couch, holding her temple with one hand, frowning. Two little maids squatted below, each holding a beauty hammer, tapping the old lady's calves.
The nanny who was serving beside her looked at the master's expression, turned her head and looked at the maid who was attending the banquet with the old lady today.
The maid shook her head when she heard the nanny's question.
The nanny glared at her, walked softly to the master, and gently massaged her shoulders,
"Old Lady, is the Duan family's flower banquet this year not to your liking?"
"The Duan family's flower banquet is more luxurious every year, and they can always do something new every time. Otherwise, with the status of the Duan family, not many people would be willing to give them face."
Being served, Old Lady Mu sighed comfortably and spoke softly.
"Today at the Duan family, I met the family of Bai Hanlin."
When the old lady mentioned the Bai family, the nanny was stunned, "Could it be the Bai family mentioned in the letter of the eldest aunt?"
"That's them,"
Mrs. Mu narrowed her eyes, and her wrinkled face trembled. The master asked her daughter to pay attention to the boy of the Bai family. Not long after, her daughter wrote a letter to remind them to be careful of the boy of the Bai family. That person is extremely sharp and quite skillful.
At that time, I thought that no matter how powerful a poor scholar is, two fists can't beat four hands.
But the strange thing is that every time the son-in-law made a move, he was resolved by the other party. That's why the son-in-law didn't dare to act rashly again, and didn't let his daughter interfere in the affairs of the Bai family again.
The daughter would send letters back regularly to inform the Bai family of their movements, but the son-in-law was taboo and didn't dare to offend the Bai family.
I didn't expect that the official really transferred people back to Kyoto.
You can't judge a person by his appearance.
Just as she was thinking, the door curtain sounded, and Prime Minister Mu came back.
"The master is back, hurry up and serve him tea."
Mrs. Mu waved to the people around her, and the two maids retreated holding the beauty hammer. The nanny and the maids immediately stepped forward and helped the old prime minister change into his daily clothes and sit on the Luohan bed to rest.
Mrs. Mu walked over, sat opposite him, and narrated the story of the Duan family's encounter with the Bai family.
"Master, although the Bai family is of low origin, they are not bad in temperament. No wonder they can raise a figure like Bai Hanlin."
Listening to the tone of his old wife, the old prime minister took a sip of the teacup and pondered for a moment, "Now that the emperor favors him, his origin is no longer important."
In the morning court today, he recommended two students, but the emperor did not have a clear attitude.
After several perfunctory actions, everyone with a discerning eye knew that the emperor had other plans.
Mrs. Mu opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
"Will the emperor really recommend a person without background to sit in that position?"
Their Mu family is a prosperous family, and the master is also the pillar of the court. Doesn't the emperor have any feelings for the old times?
Prime Minister Mu narrowed his eyes and sighed faintly,
"The emperor's mind is still easy to figure out. He resists the clan and wants to use poor scholars to make the two sides have a check and balance. But I have been the prime minister for more than ten years. If I give it up easily, it will definitely not work."
"That Bai Hanlin, although he has good knowledge, is a little shallow in experience. He has a kind of reckless energy. It's hard for him to shake the foundation of the clan."
"Does the master have a corresponding solution?" There is no one in the Mu family who can take the lead, so it's no wonder that the master is anxious.
"Plan before taking action. I want to see how he can compete with the clan on his own?"
If Bai Yunxi were here, he would definitely complain.
Look, the war has been directed to Xiaowu, pushing him in front of everyone like a target, and it depends on who has the best shooting skills.
No one is better at playing power games than the royal family.
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and now the competition is about brains.
Madam Mu looked at her master and nodded, "I met that Bai today, she is a smart person."
Although she came from the countryside, she was very eloquent, and even when she talked to her, she was not humble, but had the posture of a government official's wife.
Prime Minister Mu agreed with this, saying that it was quite insightful for a farming family to cultivate a champion.
He is already sixty-seven this year, and he will retire at the age of seventy and return home. He still has two years to plan.
Historically, according to the laws of this dynasty, he has the right to recommend. He wanted to find a suitable opportunity to recommend his students to the government, but he didn't expect that the government had prepared first.
How could he accept this?
As the head of the Mu family, he was loyal to the court and dedicated to his work. In the end, he also wanted to relieve the worries of the emperor and recommend a virtuous and talented person to take his place, which was also a perfect deed.
Obviously, the emperor did not appreciate it, so he had to make other plans.
After all, he still had the support of the Mu family behind him.
Old Madam Mu sat opposite. After many years of marriage, she knew that as long as the master was silent, he had something to plan, and she just needed to accompany him quietly.
"Madam, do you believe in God's will? God will give great responsibilities to those who are capable... Wei Jin is one of the most outstanding students among my many disciples. He is well-informed and has traveled all over the country since he was sixteen. He is talented and has excellent political achievements when he was in office. He is an excellent choice for prime minister."
"The master values Wei Jin, and I also think that his talent is not inferior to Bai Hanlin. But the emperor insists on singing against the master, and he will definitely give you an explanation."
The Mu family is not one of those small families. They have to hold back when they are wronged. In front of the clan, the emperor has to be polite.
To be disrespectful, even if the dynasty changes, it will not affect the status of their clans.
"A few days ago, I met the director of the Imperial Observatory and invited him to sit in the wine shop. The director said that the Big Dipper is shining, and a talented person will come out... Wenquxing is in charge of literary luck, and the talent of the prime minister has come to the world. It all depends on the game."
Prime Minister Mu put down his teacup. Several people are rare talents. Who will be the winner in the end depends on God's will.
Hearing this, Mrs. Mu was surprised. Could the talented person mentioned by the master be Bai Hanlin?
He is the reincarnation of Wenquxing?
How is it possible?
It is said that Wenquxing comes to the world with a mission. If you stop it, you will be backfired.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Mu's heart skipped a beat, "Master, can the director calculate where Wenquxing comes from?"
All the stars have their directions when they come to the world. If it is really that person, just avoid it.
They are just ordinary people, they can't go against the will of heaven, right?
Hearing the uneasiness in his wife's tone, Prime Minister Mu smiled solemnly, "When a general or minister is born, he must suffer hardships if he wants to return to his original position. If he gets it easily, it is not in line with the will of heaven."
He wants to see who is the real Wenquxing who has come to earth?
In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Bai Yunxi finally waited for the news that Xie Yu had entered the capital, and finally arrived.
