"Don't be angry, she is still young." Lin Jingtian shook Bai Zhi's hand and consoled her, "As brothers and sisters, we should be more tolerant."
Bai Zhi originally looked at the closed door, furious. After hearing Lin Jingtian's words, her expression froze for a moment.
Small?
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, Jingtian has always been like this, always defending her regardless of right or wrong. He is already in his twenties, but he is still talking about being young!
Bai Zhi lowered her eyes, covered her cold eyes, and said very calmly: "Well, I won't really be angry with her."
Hearing this, Lin Jingtian breathed a sigh of relief.
If Bai Zhi was just angry on the surface and couldn't control her temper for a while, and didn't really do anything but just had fun with her words, then now, she was really angry in her heart.
Lu Xixin's rebelliousness, Jingtian's preference for her, the importance attached to her by the big shots at the top of the pyramid, and the indelible traces of her that existed everywhere in the Gu family all made Bai Zhi feel uncomfortable.
If it was just uncomfortable, it would be fine, but Lu Xixin's presence was so strong that it affected Bai Zhi's control over the Gu family.
This is something Angelica dahurica cannot tolerate.
For a moment, Bai Zhi seemed to understand why the fourth master, Yongzheng, had ascended the throne as the emperor and why he would kill the eighth master.
If the Eight Wise Kings, who had huge influence and were loved by civil and military officials throughout the dynasty, were not overthrown and his power was not eradicated, who could really see the Fourth Master sitting high on the dragon throne?
If Bai Zhi wants to take over the Gu family, she must let everyone understand that she has the final say in the current Gu family. Lu Xixin is a thing of the past. Without her grandfather's favor, Lu Xixin is just a rootless duckweed. Now she cannot gain a foothold in the Gu family.
!
This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, and Bai Zhi needs time to study it carefully.
When she got home, she immediately shut herself into the study and began to rummage through the cabinets. Finally, she dug out a yellowed family tree from a hidden corner of the cabinet.
Bai Zhi's fingertips rested on the [Gu Family Genealogy] for a moment, and then quickly turned to a certain page.
She once heard her grandfather mention by chance that the Gu family had branched into three branches as early as 200 years ago.
The branch that remains in the country is actually not a direct branch, but a side branch. It was only moved to the direct branch because of the inheritance of the ancient magic needle. The real direct branch had already given up the magic needle, left the country, and developed abroad.
Another branch also stayed in the country, but they did not inherit the ancient family's magic needle. Instead, they changed their surname to Gu and became a family of craftsmen.
The white t-shirt that Lu Xixin wore close to her body was very well made and the gaps were almost invisible. It was sewn by a family of craftsmen.
The craftsman family has almost completely separated from the Gu family. Now it has a cooperative relationship with the Gu family. It provides the Gu family with clothes, shoes, hats and other well-made things, and the Gu family is obliged to give acupuncture and cure diseases to the members of the craftsman family.
Bai Zhi now wants to contact the direct branches of the ancient family abroad through the family of craftsmen.
Members of the Gu family abroad have long given up their medical skills and turned to business. I heard from my grandfather that the Gu family abroad are powerful and are big capitalists, and their wealth is so strong that they can influence local elections.
Bai Zhi wants to contact the direct branches of the Gu family abroad to cooperate in developing the secret recipe of the Gu family and promote the Gu family to the world.
Unfortunately, she did not have the contact information of the direct branch of the foreign Gu family, and the foreign Gu family had already changed their surnames and became completely foreigners. It was impossible to find a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, she must contact the direct branch of the ancient foreign family through the Gu family head of the craftsman family.
The Gu family and Grandpa have always had a close relationship. Until Grandpa passed out, they still provided him with fine clothes and rare and precious jewelry.
But after Grandpa passed out, the Gu family's attitude towards them was not as good as before. Although they still provided fine clothes, precious jewelry no longer came.
Bai Zhi knew what they were thinking, wasn't she just worried that she wouldn't be able to support the Gu family?
However, now is not the time to worry about this.
Bai Zhi packed up some things, went to the Gu family, and asked to see the head of the Gu family.
The old man of the Gu family is over eighty years old this year, almost ninety. He is older than Guze, but he is always strong, energetic and tough.
When Bai Zhi came over, he was studying the end game of a Go game with a frown on his face, holding a black stone in his hand, but he couldn't play it correctly.
Hearing that Bai Zhi was coming, she quickly waved: "Quickly, let that girl come in."
As soon as Bai Zhi stepped through the door, she was called over by the old man: "Bai Zhi, come here quickly. Where do you think I can hide as a black man?"
He has had a headache for several days, and he has asked countless people, but no one has found any help.
Bai Zhi also learned Go, and she was obsessed with everything Lu Xixin learned when she was young.
When she was a child, Guze wouldn't let her learn, so she figured out how to learn on her own. After junior high school, when she had more pocket money, she signed up for a Go class. After studying for a while, even Lu Xixin couldn't beat her. After going to college, she still
I participated in a college student Go competition and won a medium-sized prize.
Bai Zhi is still very confident about Go.
She strolled over and sat across from him, looking down at the outcome.
I thought it would be easy to solve, but after looking at it for more than ten minutes, my eyes were dazzled and my head hurt, but I couldn't see any flaws.
Black has no way to go and is bound to lose.
As soon as this idea was spoken, Mr. Gu categorically denied it: "Impossible, that's not what Xiao Xixin said. She said there is still a chance to fight back!"
Bai Zhi was startled, her face suddenly turned ugly, and her voice was vague: "Grandpa Gu, have you asked Lu Xixin?"
Mr. Gu shook his head: "No, this game of chess was played between me and Xiao Xixin. I went to look for her the day she returned to Linjiang. The little girl was still unwilling to play with me. I spent a long time trying to keep my mouth shut.
It was almost worn out, so that girl reluctantly played a game with me. She must have been in a bad mood, so she was merciless and chased her all the way. After just a few bets, it ended up like this."
Speaking of this matter, Mr. Gu really shed tears of bitterness.
Woohoo, cute, considerate and considerate little Xixin, she has changed!
In the past, she was patient and willing to play chess with him. She would neither let him lose too badly nor let him win too happily. She was like a smart girl who could instantly match his level and play chess happily.
It’s dripping, so enjoyable!
But now... no more whimpering, just tears.
Bai Zhi's eyes were no longer calm. She couldn't believe it. Since it was Lu Xixin's chess game, how could she not see it?
Is Lu Xixin's level not as good as hers? In the past, when the two of them played chess, Lu Xixin lost every time and never won. The best time was that the stalemate lasted only an hour, and in the end they lost a piece.
Lu Xixin's Go teacher, the national Go player Qi Lianze, also always criticized Lu Xixin for his low level. He couldn't last ten minutes in front of him. He was the worst student he had ever encountered in so many years.
.
Every time I see Lu Xixin, I feel angry and resentful, and I scold her for a long time.
How could this happen?
Bai Zhi stared at the mess and said nothing for a long time, her mind in a daze.
