257. You Should Be Called Bai Xingjian (Please Order the Whole Set)
"Miwa, you said you don't know how to do it."
"This sentence has damaged the face of our brothers."
Jin Pengzhen, the third young master of the Jin family, chuckled lightly.
Relieved the embarrassment.
He certainly understood the implication of Bai Gui's words.
But these jokes are no big deal, and they won't cause trouble because of these words. On the contrary, they were talking and laughing, which proved that Bai Gui was sincerely dealing with them.
"Miwa, cough...it's really interesting."
Wang Yufen helped with the scene.
It's just that a group of ladies looked at Bai Gui with profound meaning.
I didn’t expect you to be such a beautiful Bai Meihe!
Driving the car so hard!
But they didn't think it was strange. Literati have been romantic since ancient times. Bai Gui talked in a romantic way, and he didn't look like a moral defender at first glance.
The famous Su Dongpo wrote a driving limerick like "Eighteen-year-old bride and eighty-year-old man, with pale hair and red makeup. Mandarin ducks are twined in quilts at night, and a pear tree presses a begonia."
Compared with Su Dongpo's directness and fierceness, Bai Guike is much more reserved.
Bai Gui shook his head and didn't care much.
In the early years of the Republic of China, it was really not uncommon to drive. If you really thought that these literati were old masters who had not changed their ways, you would be wrong.
For example, Dr. Hu, one time Yun Zhonghe ran to Dr. Hu's house, holding a hardcover German version of the book "Feng Yue" in his arms. People came to criticize, but Dr. Hu was indifferent and said: "This kind of thing, Including the paintings of Gai Qixiang and Qiu Shizhou, they are all visible and not interesting enough. I have seen a painting, but I don’t remember whose hand it was. A bed with a hibiscus curtain hanging down, a pair of men’s shoes on the ground, and a pair of red embroidered shoes. , a cat squatted in front of the window and looked up at the tent hook, which was quite subtle. "
Gai Qixiang was a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty and was famous for his illustrations of Dream of Red Mansions.
Qiu Shizhou was a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty.
Mr. Ji also wrote in his diary: "To be honest, when I watch women playing basketball... I just look at their thighs. The female classmates from the attached middle school have very dark thighs, and they only watch half the game and then leave."
So occasionally making jokes will not affect your reputation.
"Meihe...Meihe, he chose the wrong word."
"It should be called Xing Jian. The word "Gui" is also an excellent word for "Xing Jian", such as "Han Yu" and "Han Tuizhi".
Jin Fengju, the eldest young master of the Jin Mansion, said abruptly.
Some older people couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Bai Xingjian guessed that some people were unfamiliar, but his brother was Bai Juyi. Bai Xingjian was also a famous literati in the Tang Dynasty and was good at poetry.
The most talked about thing about Bai Xingjian is the poem "The Comparison between Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth丨丨Huan Da Le Fu".
He is no longer shy.
"Meihe, what did he mean? Why did he call you Bai Xingjian?"
"I know Bai Xingjian, he is Bai Letian's younger brother..."
Bai Xiuzhu was stunned.
She asked Bai Gui to help her win the battle, but she still didn't understand what Bai Gui meant. Then Jin Fengju, the eldest young master of Jin Mansion, said that Bai Gui should be called Xingjian instead of Bai Xingjian. She didn't understand this sentence very well.
This poem by Bai Xingjian is basically the same as The West Chamber. It is almost classified as a banned book. Most people cannot read it, especially ladies from wealthy families, who will not even touch it.
But this time is different from the explosion of information in later generations. Some things are like an information cocoon and cannot be heard at all.
"Ahem...brother Fengju is making fun of me, hiding what he says, so he says I can keep it simple..."
Bai Gui explained casually.
In fact, he had only recently read this poem by Bai Xingjian. He has been cultivating Taoism. Although sleeping with Bai Xiuzhu will not damage his skills much, it would be better if they can promote each other, and Bai Xingjian's gift is the Fangzhongshu.
It's just that he just got involved for the first time and doesn't plan to tell Bai Xiuzhu yet.
Men all like the original Qiuxiang.
When Bai Xiuzhu saw this, her eyes showed suspicion.
But she didn't ask any more questions. At this juncture, she still had to give Zubaigui some face.
If you have any questions, it would be more convenient for the couple to go back to the room and ask them.
…
A few days later.
White house, early morning.
Bai Gui had just finished practicing and wiped away his sweat.
"My boss, the lady and the lady from the cold house next door went to school together again."
"This is already the third time."
Lao Li approached and said.
"Leng Qingqiu..."
Bai Gui pondered slightly, "Forget it, let's forget about it for now. Bao'er and she are both students of Beiman Girls' School. Now Leng Qingqiu has also started to attend the university department. It's close to home. It's normal for us to go to school together and leave school together. Too much control is abnormal.”
He had almost forgotten about Leng Zhai, Mrs. Leng and Leng Qingqiu next door.
But...unexpectedly, he asked Liu Baoer to go to Beiman Girls' School, and inadvertently connected with Leng Zha next door.
"Then are you still going to pick me up?"
"Liu's Car Shop has sent a new rickshaw driver named Xiangzi. I heard he is the son-in-law of the owner of the car shop..."
Lao Li said.
"No need, Yanjing's tabloids have published several times recently about my pick-up and drop-off at a girls' school."
"It's too controversial and inappropriate."
"I have already said hello to the second young mistress of the Jin Mansion. The second young mistress of the Jin Mansion teaches at Beiman Girls' School and asked her to help take care of Bao'er. By the way, I asked Ma Chen and Ma Han from Lengzhai to pick her up and drop her off every day... …”
Bai Gui put down the sweat towel, exhaled a breath and said.
Mother Chen is an old woman who was recently recruited. She has big shoulders and a thick waist, and looks similar to a strong man. She is responsible for taking care of Liu Baoer. And Mother Han is the old lady from the cold house next door.
It's enough for two old ladies to take care of two young ladies.
Yanjing is the best place, and it is not yet a time of chaos.
"Remember to send your suit to the dry cleaner for ironing!"
He said.
Today he and Bai Xiuzhu went to listen to an opera together.
After listening to the opera, he will prepare to go to Japan and start studying abroad at the University of Tokyo.
It can be delayed for a while...,
It is a while!
Bai Xiuzhu is unwilling to stay alone in China, and after Bai Gui goes to Japan, he will go to Ameiken. He is also worried about Bai Xiuzhu going to Ameiken alone. It is not reasonable to leave Bai Xiuzhu...whether she stays in Yanjing or Shanghai, so he can only agree to go to Japan together.
Anyway, Bai Xiuzhu knows about Xunzi's matter..., and knew it before the engagement.
"Boss, the suit has been sent to the dry cleaner, and it will probably be ready in a day or two."
Old Li replied.
Bai Gui nodded.
He has always been used to wearing long gowns in China, so the suits have been pressed at the bottom of the box. After a long time, they have to be ironed again. When he goes abroad, it is not appropriate to wear long gowns.
After a while, he went out.
"Xiangzi, let's go to Tianhe Tea Garden..."
He sat on the back seat of the rickshaw and shouted.
"Okay, Mr. Bai!"
Xiangzi responded and immediately pulled the rickshaw to run, his steps were flying, but very steady.
For a rickshaw driver like Xiangzi who subscribed monthly, he lived and ate at Bai's house, which could save a lot of money a month, and the monthly salary was not bad, and the work was not very tiring. If it weren't for Huniu, the daughter of the boss of Liu's rickshaw company, who liked him, Xiangzi would not have gotten this job.
If Er Qiangzi hadn't met Bai Gui for the first time, he would not have gotten this job.
