Listening to the tone of the concierge, Baiyunxi was not surprised. The management of the college during this period was very strict. For the common people, this was a solemn and solemn place that could only be viewed from a distance.
"I'm here to pick up Bai Ansheng. He is going to Fucheng to take the college examination with his wife from the college this time. I guess it's time to come back."
As soon as Bai Yunxi said these words, the concierge was stunned. Before he could speak, he heard a soft greeting behind him.
"Uncle Chang."
While he was talking, a girl in goose-yellow clothes lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage, and walked up to Baiyunxi. While looking her up and down, she smiled gently.
"Who is this lady from Bai Ansheng?"
Seeing the girl who suddenly appeared, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment. The girl was not afraid of being looked at and stood in front of her with a smile.
The girl in front of me looks to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She is wearing a goose-yellow dress that makes her face as white as snow. Her big almond-shaped eyes are like a pool of clear water. She has a crooked smile that makes her look brisk and bright.
I have to say that this girl's appearance is extremely beautiful, and there is a faint bookish atmosphere between her eyebrows.
"What a pretty girl. I'm really lovable."
"Aunt Liao Zan, who are you?"
Bai Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "Look, I forgot about business after seeing such a beautiful girl. My surname is Bai, and I am Bai Ansheng's mother. I came to the county today just to see if he has returned from Fucheng? I will pick him up by the way.
Home."
"So you are Bai Xiucai's mother. How disrespectful. Uncle Chang, please open the door quickly and let Aunt Bai in so that mother and son can be reunited. What are you blocking the door for?"
Uncle Chang glanced helplessly at the girl in front of him and chuckled.
"You girl, this is what Uncle Chang does. Naturally, you have to ask questions before letting people in. Otherwise, anyone can enter the academy. Wouldn't it be chaos?"
After saying that, Uncle Chang raised his hand towards Baiyun River.
"It turns out to be Bai Xiucai's mother. How disrespectful. You have raised a good son. Not only is he a scholar, but he is also the first in the case. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."
"Thank you for your praise. It's An Sheng's own fault."
Bai Yunxi smiled gently and looked at the girl in yellow clothes.
"Who is this girl?"
"This is our dean's daughter." Uncle Chang put the pipe and pot behind his waist and said with a smile.
"It turns out she is the dean's daughter. No wonder she has a bookish aura about her. Miss Zhang is polite."
"Yishan has met Aunt Bai," Zhang Yishan said with a slight blessing, and gave Bai Yunxi a junior salute.
Seeing the little girl's smiling face, Baiyunxi moved his eyebrows almost imperceptibly, and quickly helped her up.
"You're welcome, Miss Yishan. I'm just a country woman and don't have much knowledge. Thanks to Dean Zhang for taking care of my little five, I feel very grateful. Oh, by the way, my little five is An Sheng. He is the fifth in the family.
, we call it habitual."
Listening to Bai Yunxi's explanation, Zhang Yishan pursed her lips and smiled,
"My father said that he and Bai Juren are old acquaintances..."
As soon as she said this, Zhang Yishan suddenly paused and glanced at Bai Yunxi with a slightly red face, "Aunt Bai, I'm really sorry. It was a slip of the tongue."
Listening to the little girl's apologetic tone, Bai Yunxi waved her hand,
"It doesn't matter. It's been four years since Xiaowu's father passed away. This is a fact. I once heard Xiaowu's father mention Qingyu Academy, but he has never been there. Today I am lucky enough to see the conditions of the academy."
"Then I'll take Aunt Bai in to have a look and give Bai Xiucai a surprise."
"What a white scholar, Miss Zhang can just call him Xiao Wu. That kid has a sullen face every day and pretends to be an adult. I think he should have more contact with his peers and change his cold temperament."
"Pfft~, I really want to listen to what Aunt Bai has to say, but I'm afraid Bai Xiucai won't agree. My father also said that his personality is a bit dull... He also said that his personality is too different from his father's, and that he looks like a grandfather."
"Haha... Dean Zhang's description is quite fresh, and he's right. Xiao Wu is indeed a bit bored. Anyone who wants to be friends with him must spend more time talking."
Bai Yunxi looked at Zhang Yishan, "Miss Zhang has a smart and charming personality. At first glance, she looks like a girl who has been pampered and raised."
"It makes Madam Bai laugh. I am the only daughter in the family. I don't have many friends. I always forget to go to the academy and talk too much to the seniors in the academy. I am a bit boyish."
Zhang Yishan smiled and explained sheepishly,
"Because of this, my parents often talked about me, saying that I lacked the gentleness of a girl, had a carefree personality, and was easily laughed at."
"It's great that you are like this. Everyone is willing to make friends with people who have a cheerful personality."
Bai Yunxi looked at the little girl's bright smile and spoke sincerely.
At first glance, this girl doesn't have that coy personality. She is cheerful and cheerful, with clear eyebrows. She can only be like this if she has a good tutor.
"Grandma, this sister is so pretty." Yaya raised her head, looked at Zhang Yishan, and said with a smile.
"Hey, you little girl, do you also like this sister?" Bai Yunxi reached out and tapped her nose, and explained with a smile,
"This is my granddaughter Yaya."
As soon as these words came out, Yaya raised her chest and corrected, "Grandma, my name is Bai Hefu. You should introduce my name to your sister."
With that said, the little girl broke away from Bai Yunxi's hand, walked up to Zhang Yishan, and nodded slightly.
"Sister, my name is Bai Hefu. Grandma hopes that I will have good luck in my life, so I gave me this name."
Listening to her solemn introduction, Zhang Yishan suppressed a smile and knelt down to look at her level.
"The name is really nice, and Hefu is also very cute. The autumn dew is heavy, and the pearls fall off the sleeves with lingering fragrance. What a good name."
"Hey, my sister also knows this poem. Grandma also read it to me and said that my word "Fu" was taken from this poem."
Yaya opened her big eyes, blinked and stared at Zhang Yishan, and spoke cutely, which directly made Zhang Yishan laugh.
Bai Yunxi looked at her and couldn't help but twitch her lips. This girl was not afraid of life.
"Yishan, why are you here? Who is this little girl?"
While he was talking, a master in Confucian robes walked over with his hands behind his back, followed by a young student, who else could it be if it wasn't Xiao Wu?
"Uncle," Yaya saw Xiao Wu and rushed towards him.
"Run slowly, be careful not to fall."
Xiaowu caught Yaya who was coming towards her, reached out and pinched her cheek to help her stand firm, then quickly walked to Baiyunxi and bowed deeply.
"I met my mother."
"Well, after receiving the news from Manager Mu, I guessed that it's time for you to come back. I just wanted to visit the county town, so I came to pick you up."
Bai Yunxi looked at Xiao Wu and spoke gently.
I don’t know whether it’s because of being a scholar or because of external reasons, but after not seeing her for a month, Xiao Wu has become much more mature and stable.
"Let mother worry."
Xiao Wu straightened up and immediately introduced to Bai Yunxi, "This is Dean Zhang of the academy. Thanks to Dean Zhang for taking care of my son during this trip."
