Bai Yanqing rolled her eyes and turned sideways to face Bai Junzhi.
"Brother Junzhi, are you bored staying in the mansion these days? If you don't mind, how about Sister Bizhi and I taking you out of the mansion and walking around?"
Bai Yanqing walked up to Bai Shiheng, picked up Bai Junzhi who had been silent for a long time, and spoke enthusiastically.
Bai Junzhi was shy by nature. He had never talked to a girl so close to him. At this moment, when Bai Yanqing stared at him, he immediately blushed and hid behind Bai Shiheng. Those cute ears could even be red.
Drops of blood!
"Don't be surprised, Yan Qing. Junzhi has been introverted since he was a child and doesn't like talking to others."
Bai Shiheng was afraid that Bai Yanqing might misunderstand his son, so he hurriedly explained.
Bai Yanqing shook her head at Bai Shiheng indifferently, indicating that she didn't care.
From the few days Bai Shiheng and his son entered the house, it can be seen that Bai Junzhi is indeed a very introverted child.
Bai Yanqing only met him briefly a few times, but never once saw him take the initiative to speak. Every time, it was Bai Shiheng who talked to them. Bai Yanqing always wondered whether this cousin was unable to interact with others.
Communicate normally.
"I see, brother Junzhi's character is quite cute!"
Bai Yanqing reached out affectionately and pulled Bai Junzhi out from behind Bai Shiheng. She praised him again and again, which made Bai Junzhi even more shy. He retracted his arms shyly and took several steps back nervously.
Fearful again.
Bai Shiheng on the side looked like he hated iron.
"Now that the matter is over, we...it's time to go back to Huzhou!"
Bai Shiheng raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Ren's house with a complicated expression.
"Uncle, are you anxious to go back and see your aunt?"
Of course Bai Yanqing knew what Bai Shiheng was thinking, she joked to Bai Shiheng in a relaxed tone with a smile.
"You girl! You're talking nonsense! You're such a big man and you don't know what to say. You're about to enter the palace, and you still don't know what's important!"
Bai Jingxuan walked out of the house, reproaching Bai Yanqing, but with a smile on his face.
Yes, it's already the beginning of the eighth lunar month. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's time for Bai Yanqing to enter the palace to run for office!
"Uncle and Junzhi, it's rare for us to come back. If there is no urgent matter, we can stay at home for a few more days. It won't be too late to go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival? What do you think?"
In her words, Bai Yanqing regarded Bai Shiheng and his son as a family.
The phrase "come back, home" is intended to tell Bai Shiheng and his son that the place where they are standing now is their own home. They are wanderers who have not been home for a long time, not relatives visiting relatives and friends.
"If my little uncle is worried about my little aunt, I can also send someone to bring her back. Our family will be reunited and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together!"
Seeing that Bai Shiheng remained silent, Bai Yanqing spoke again.
"But...can it?"
Although Bai Shiheng was speaking to Bai Yanqing, he could not help but glance at Bai Jingxuan.
"Of course! What Yan Qing said is exactly what I want to say!"
Bai Jingxuan stepped forward and affirmed.
Seeing that Bai Jingxuan had opened his mouth, Bai Shiheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face was full of gratitude to Bai Yanqing! After so many years, their family finally had the opportunity to return to the Bai family openly!
"The weather is nice today, and my father is free at home. My uncle and father must have a lot to say! As juniors, we won't bother you too much! I will take you with me, sister Bizhi,
To my brother, go out for a walk!"
Bai Yanqing didn't care whether Bai Junzhi resisted or not, she just took him and Lai Bizhi to go out for fun together!
Although Bai Junzhi is only twelve years old, he is not much shorter than Bai Yanqing. When the three of them walk together, they look very harmonious!
"Miss, run slower! Cai Xing can't even keep up!"
Cai Xing walked behind the three of them, running out of breath.
It was rare for Bai Yanqing to have a free day without having to face Mrs. Ren. How could she not speed up her pace in excitement? She was walking too slowly!
Although Bai Yanqing didn't want to take Cai Xing with her, she was afraid that she would keep nagging in her ears and frighten Bai Junzhi again! But this girl was worried! She had to put down what she was doing and hurry up.
It's hard to catch up with Bai Yanqing and the others!
As soon as they left the house, they were like birds escaping from their cages, laughing and laughing. Even Bai Junzhi, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but open his heart when they followed them!
"Junzhi, come quickly and take a look!"
Bai Yanqing mysteriously pulled Bai Junzhi aside, and then quietly took out a small wooden box from behind!
"Now, this is a meeting gift from my sister! There are a lot of things going on in the house these days, and I haven't had time to give you and my uncle a chance to clean up their affairs! This, consider it a meeting gift from my sister! Don't dislike it!"
Bai Yanqing handed the wooden box to Bai Junzhi and looked at him with squinted eyes, her face full of expectation.
"Open it and see if you like it!"
When Bai Junzhi heard this, he lowered his head and carefully opened the wooden box. It was a dagger!
"This dagger, named 'Dragon Scale', was obtained from an expert by my trustee! The blade is sharp and cuts iron like clay. It is a rare treasure in the world! When I first saw it, I felt like I was your brother.
Perfectly matched!”
It took Bai Yanqing a lot of effort to get this dagger. Originally, she wanted to keep it for herself for self-defense, but then she met Bai Junzhi and decided to give this dagger to him!
Although Bai Junzhi has a reserved personality and is not good at words, Bai Yanqing saw that he had thin calluses on his fingertips and that there was wind under his feet when he walked. He thought that he must have practiced martial arts! Giving this treasure to him was regarded as a meeting gift for his cousin.
Secondly, Bai Yanqing felt that martial arts practitioners should be equipped with a good sword! It’s just that swords are too eye-catching, and daggers are smaller and easier to hide.
"Such an expensive gift! Junzhi can't bear it!"
The moment Bai Junzhi opened the wooden box, he knew that the dagger in front of him was extraordinary! The back of the knife was like a dragon's spine, and the lines on the surface of the blade were like the scales on the dragon's body, shining brightly under the sunlight! The knife guard
At the junction with the blade is a pure gold blade, shaped like a dragon's claw! The black handle is inlaid with a gemstone, which is priceless at first sight!
"Does Junzhi treat his sister as an outsider?"
Seeing that Bai Junzhi refused to accept it, Bai Yanqing pretended to be angry. As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
"Sister...Junzhi didn't mean that!"
Bai Junzhi had never seen a girl cry before? He suddenly panicked. He hurriedly put away the dagger and wanted to wipe the corners of Bai Yanqing's eyes, but he thought about the lack of intimacy between men and women, and was afraid that he would be too abrupt, so he
He quickly took his hand back, looking at a loss!
"Pfft!"
Seeing Bai Junzhi sweating all over his head, Bai Yanqing burst out laughing! Her cousin is really interesting!
"Let's go, let's go find Sister Bizhi and the others!"
Bai Yanqing saw that Bai Junzhi was very restrained, so she stepped forward, took his arm, and walked towards Lai Bizhi and the others! At that time, Lai Bizhi and Cai Xing were in the rouge shop, and they were dazzled by the look!
"Brother Junzhi, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future? Will you go into business with your uncle, or do you have other ambitions?"
While Bai Yanqing was chatting with Junzhi, she pulled him and walked slowly.
"I...I want to join the army!"
Bai Junzhi said in a low voice, obviously lacking in confidence. With his character, everyone in his family is worried about him. If he really wants to join the army, it will be difficult!
"Joining the army? That's great! If Junzhi really has this ambition, my sister can show you a clear path!"
Although Bai Yanqing was a little surprised, she knew that Bai Junzhi had practiced martial arts, so she was not too shocked!
"Sister, please tell me!"
Bai Junzhi plucked up the courage and said to Bai Yanqing, "I think he really wants to join the army. It's really good to have such an ambition!"
"Sister, let me ask you first, have you ever practiced martial arts? Who did you study under?"
Bai Yanqing understood very well that with Bai Junzhi's personality, it was obvious that Bai Shiheng would not find anyone to teach him martial arts, so there was only one possibility, that is, he learned it secretly himself!
"I... didn't dare to hide it from my sister. I learned it secretly on my own! When I was young, I met an expert by chance. He said that my bones were extraordinary and that I was a good material for martial arts. He volunteered to teach me all his skills... It's a pity that my brain
You're stupid, you haven't learned one ten thousandth of what you learned from your master!"
Bai Junzhi saw that Bai Yanqing had never looked down on him, so he took the initiative to inform her about his martial arts practice.
"Then where is your master now?"
While Bai Yanqing watched Lai Bizhi and the others picking things, she chatted with Bai Junzhi.
"Master, he is an old man with no fixed abode. He has always been like a dragon that never sees its end. When he wants to see me, he will naturally appear!"
Bai Junzhi replied seriously.
"Then it seems that I gave the dagger to the right person!"
Bai Yanqing smiled and patted Bai Junzhi on the shoulder, with a bit of pride in her eyes.
"If Jun Zhi really wants to join the army, he might as well go to the Ji family military camp and give it a try!"
Looking at Bai Junzhi's childish face, Bai Yanqing felt that she looked very much like Ji Nanjing back then.
Seeing Bai Junzhi's firm gaze, Bai Yanqing was a little stunned. If Ji Nanjing had not given up the opportunity and chosen to join the army instead of following Ji Jinxiu in business, would everything be different from now?
"If Jun Zhi really wants to join the army, after we return home, I will write a handwritten letter as a proof of admission to the Ji family's military camp!"
Bai Yanqing really wanted to help Bai Junzhi. She could see that her cousin, although he didn't talk much, was a good boy with an honest mind. She didn't mind helping him!
"Really?"
Bai Junzhi obviously didn't expect that Bai Yanqing would really help him!
Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between concubines and concubines. This is also Bai Junzhi's inferiority complex that has been engraved in his bones since he was a child.
Bai Shiheng has always taught Bai Junzhi that they are branches of the Bai family, not direct descendants. When meeting the Bai family, they must be respectful and treat them as their masters! Before coming to the capital this time, Bai Shiheng even talked to Bai Junzhi again and again.
Said, let him never go beyond it! It is precisely because of this that when Bai Junzhi first arrived at Bai Mansion, he was cautious and cautious for fear that he would say the wrong thing, so he spoke little to avoid making mistakes if he spoke too much!
"but……"
Bai Yanqing spoke for a moment.
Bai Junzhi suddenly became extremely nervous, as if he was afraid that Bai Yanqing would regret it!
"But what?"
"But... you still need to go back and discuss this matter with your uncle. If he doesn't agree, then I can't be his master!"
Bai Yanqing patted Bai Junzhi on the head, smiled and joked, "This little guy, this expression is shown on his face, it's really interesting!"
Hearing this, Bai Junzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little worried. Will his father allow him to join the army?
Although Bai Junzhi and Bai Shiheng are father and son, their personalities and temperaments are very different! Bai Junzhi has lofty ambitions, but due to the majesty of his father, he dare not reveal them too much!
In Bai Junzhi's concept, he believed that a good man should be dressed in military uniform, galloping on the battlefield, relying on his martial arts, going into battle to kill the enemy, and protect his family and country. But in Bai Shiheng's concept, a man should guard his own family.
Protect your family, shelter them from wind and rain, stay by their side all your life, and let them have food and clothing without worries!
It is precisely because Bai Junzhi knows his father's thoughts very well that he does not dare to tell him his thoughts! Now, because of Bai Yanqing's few words, Bai Junzhi has rekindled his hope! He is eager to go to school.
On the battlefield, I long to rely on my own abilities to protect the country and the people!
"Don't worry, I will help you convince your uncle!"
Bai Yanqing saw Bai Junzhi's worried eyes and spoke quickly to bring him back from his thoughts.
Bai Yanqing is a good person, how could she not know what Bai Junzhi is worried about at this moment?
