During this period, the Bai family and Lu Heng were indeed deliberately distanced themselves.

Bai Jingqi went back to talk about the first day of the Lunar New Year - although he didn't know what was going on, he knew it was definitely not a good thing.

After Bai Erye and Bai Wenshi learned about it, they thought about it for a moment and thought of being alienated.

Lu Heng said that he had his own grudges and was unwilling to implicate the Bai family.

This hatred has something to do with Yuan Gongbao, who had just been promoted to Shandong Governor and valued by Li Zhongtang!

This is no trivial matter!

The Bai family once fought against the King Zhan’s mansion, but later suffered a great loss. Not to mention the shadow of the bow, it was also remembered in mind. King Zhan was just a idle prince.

He said he was the prince, but he had no real power in his hands.

However, even so, the Bai family was almost out of reach.

In comparison, the Shandong Governor is a real power figure, and behind it is the terrifying Li Hongzhang!

How could this be offended by the Bai family?

Where did the Bai family dare to get involved?

So he felt sorry for his feelings, and Bai Erye and Bai Wenshi decided to distance themselves from Lu Heng.

But they didn't tell Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai was a man who couldn't hide his words. If he could tell him that he would say it with a big mouth, one was that his face was not good, and the other was that if it was spread to some big man, it would be fine, but he would have to make trouble.

However, Mr. Bai San is not a fool after all, and gradually sees some clues.

After communicating with Lu Heng that day, he came back and had a fuss, but Mr. Bai Er and Mr. Bai Wen killed him and didn't say anything. Mr. Bai San has been angry these days.

It is related to so many people in the Bai family, so how could Bai Wenshi never compromise with Mr. Bai in this matter?

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

It turned out that a guest was here.

At noon the next day, Lu Heng took Jiuer to the Bai family.

Mr. Bai San welcomed the two of them into the door and said as he walked, "It's someone from my uncle's house in Jinlingtang."

As soon as this said, Lu Heng could not help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Almost forgot everything - he still has a marriage, which should be at the Bai family in Jinling!

I already knew it in my heart - it was probably because of this that he was invited to the banquet.

After entering the courtyard, Bai Wen was waiting in front of her. She and Lu Heng said, "Your second uncle is in the living room, you go and see him."

He waved to Jiuer again, looked at Jiuer with a sharp change in temperament, and smiled and said, "It's a bit like this. Let's talk to my aunt."

Lu Heng nodded and went straight to the living room.

Mr. Bai San was in front of him and shouted, "Second, our nephew is here."

When I entered the door, I saw Bai Yingxuan sitting on the upper head, and there was a young man in his twenties sitting beside him.

This young man looks like a new young man, with short hair and wearing a suit, vest, and leather shoes!

This is really amazing.

Although there are no braids in the capital, except for the foreigners in Dongjiao Minxiang, others are extremely rare.

In comparison, although he is also short, Lu Heng, wearing a long gown and cloth shoes, looks like a local bun.

When Mr. Bai saw Lu Heng coming in, he waved and smiled, "Come and sit down quickly."

Lu Heng bowed his hand, called his second uncle, and sat down.

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

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

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

He shook hands with him and said, "Hello Brother Bai."

Each sat down again.

Then, after careful consideration, Bai Xiongqi was from the Bai family in Jinling. He called Bai Erye, Bai Sanye was his uncle, and Lu Heng's generation was his generation.

Moreover, he is the biological brother of Bai Xiuzhu, who is engaged to Lu Heng!

After knowing this, Lu Heng didn't feel anything. This engagement seemed redundant. If it weren't for the old man Bai Mengtang and Lu Heng's mother Bai Yali, Lu Heng wouldn't have taken it seriously at all.

So he seemed very calm.

Bai Xiongqi said, "Uncle Xuan, I came to the capital this time, first to visit you and Uncle Yu, and second to go to the Capital University to study abroad."

He said: "It was really a bit presumptuous to send someone to him yesterday. I really couldn't get away yesterday."

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

Bai Yingxuan smiled and said, "Think about it, when your family moved out of the capital, you were only in your teens. Now you are a good guy."

Very sighing.

Bai Sanye said, "Xiongqi, are you going to study abroad?"

Bai Xiongqi nodded: "Yes, Uncle Yu."

Mr. Bai was surprised and said, "If you say you go abroad, why come to the capital?"

Lu Heng was interrupted at this time: "Brother Bai is going to take the official career?"

Mr. Bai showed a sudden enlightenment, while Bai Xiongqi smiled and nodded: "What my brother said is right. I really want to go on a career in the official career. That's why I run a study abroad through the Beijing University."

If you only go abroad, you don’t have to come to the capital. You have to follow the path of the capital university. In fact, you are going to take the path of being sent by the court, so that you can go directly to the government after returning from your studies.

Bai Yingxuan smiled and said, "Okay, ambitious."

Bai Xiongqi sighed, "I've been fed up with the anger in the officialdom... Since I moved to Jinling, my family has suffered a lot of difficulties. So what if I have money? If I don't have the power, I can only let it be slaughtered."

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

This year, it is called the three-year Qing Dynasty prefect, with 100,000 snowflakes and silver. The darkness of the Qing Dynasty does not mean that you can be safe if you have money and abide by the rules.

Then he smiled and said, "I was back yesterday and told Brother Lu about my story. This really surprised and happy. It has been seven or eight years since Brother Lu's engagement with Sister Lu. I still remember that it was decided by the two old men. Sure enough, fate is fate."

Bai Yingxuan nodded and said, "It's true that it's fate."

He asked Lu Heng here: "My good brother is already seventeen years old. I wonder what he has to do with the future?"

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

Mr. Bai hurriedly said, "You boy are so modest."

Then he turned to Bai Xiongqi and said, "He has just arrived in the capital for more than half a year and has made friends with many powerful people, whether it is the father-in-law in the palace, the ministers in the officialdom, or even the celebrity Gao Xianchang around the empress dowager, who has great friendship."

As soon as these words were said, Lu Heng suddenly felt helpless.

Lu Heng could see what kind of person Bai Xiongqi is in just a few words. This is a person who yearns for power and is extremely ambitious.

Although his words are gentle, he actually doesn't look down on Lu Heng very much.

Lu Hengben was also happy to see it.

But what Mr. Bai said was a bad thing!

Sure enough, Bai Xiongqi heard it and his eyes lit up slightly, and he praised: "My brother is a capable person."

Then he asked more carefully.

Lu Heng did not answer more, but Mr. Bai San cleaned Lu Heng's bottom.

Bai Xiongqi smiled and said, "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 my brother's property. Just in time, I have a few days left to spare, and I wonder if my brother welcomes me to visit Sifang Garden?"

What else can Lu Heng say?

I had to nod: "The radiance shines."

By the time of dinner, Bai Xiongqi was already familiar with Lu Heng. However, this person had a good grasp of his qualities and was not annoying.
