A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 57 Bai Ting
Baiguo, Baifu

Bai Yu walked quickly towards Bai Gong Bai Xu's room. When he saw Bai Xu, he was reading "Zhou Li".

"Father, the saint has appeared."

Bai Xu looked at Bai Yu with confusion, and Bai Yu said excitedly: "I passed by Qufu in the State of Lu this time and met a man named Kong Qiu. I chatted with him for three days and three nights.
I found that this person's thoughts are highly consistent with my own, Bai Shi's. He has profound insights into his views on the common people, his views on the world, and even how to pacify the world. "

Bai Xu said: "Oh? The talented people in this world are like crucian carp crossing the river. So many people have not changed the world. Why do you say that he can change?"

"Because I think he looks like Zhou Gongdan."

"So similar?"

"Yes."

Bai Xu said, "How about we invite him to my country, Bai?"

"Can this... such a saintly person be able to come and go as soon as we call him? I see that he is still very loyal to the state of Lu. I heard that Qi Jinggong tried to recruit him a few years ago, but he rejected it. Besides, our national strength is not as good as Qi’s, can we recruit them?”

"What's your opinion?"

"My opinion is, let Ting'er become a disciple and learn everything from him. Then won't it become our Bai family's?"

"Ting'er? Is he good? Let me tell you, this kid is very smart. Although he didn't make any big mistakes, he makes small mistakes every day and gives his mother, Ban Mo, a headache!"

Bai Yu also had a headache when he thought about his son who teased others every day and kept causing trouble in school. At most, the house would receive more than a dozen letters of condemnation in one day, either for stealing someone's chicken or taking someone's dog.

His mother Ban Mo went out to apologize every day, and almost everyone in Taiyuan got to know Ban Mo. This was Bai Ting's masterpiece.

The most disgusting thing is that the only puppy of the Quan family's ancestral dog was stolen last time, causing the entire Quan family to search for three days.

Later, when the boy saw that he was in serious trouble, he had no choice but to admit it. The head of the Quan clan saw that he was the master of the young master, and saw that the puppies were raised by Bai Ting to look black and shiny, so he didn't care much about it. However, several members of the Quan clan who looked after the family dogs didn't care. People were punished and sentenced to several days of confinement.

Seeing Bai Yu's livid face, Bai Xu knew that he was thinking of Bai Ting again, so he said:

"Why are you angry? It's not like you are out doing chivalry every day. You are comfortable. Have you ever thought about Bai Ting? Ban Mo has to take care of him every day and manage the entire Bai Mansion. Where do you get so many Time educates him.”

After hearing this, Bai Yu's face became a little shocked, and he said softly: "You were not like this back then!"

Bai Xu was a bit old and didn't hear what Bai Yu said clearly, so he asked: "What?"

Bai Yu immediately smiled and said: "It's nothing, it was my problem. It's okay now. I'm no longer a ranger and can discipline him properly."

Bai Xu said: "I heard you said that Confucius had hundreds of disciples?"

Bai Yu replied: "Exactly, judging from the disciples I saw, not all of them are very talented, but at least they all have good conduct, and none of them are rude or lacking in virtue."

Bai Xu thought for a moment and then said: "In this case, not to mention how talented Confucius is, at least he is a master who can teach others. Now that the court is like this, it is exactly the need for such a person to discipline him!"

Suddenly Bai Yu thought of something and said with a smile: "Yes, we need such a person. Father, you don't know that Confucius is not only knowledgeable and moral, but also powerful, with outstanding swordsmanship and shooting skills. He is simply a All-rounder, no matter what you ask him, it seems like there is nothing he doesn’t know.”

After hearing this, Bai Xu also smiled and said, "Really? That's just right!"

As he said this, both father and son laughed evilly.

Here, Bai Ting, who was shaving his ancestor's head in the Bai clan, suddenly sneezed, wiped his nose and continued to pull weeds.

"Gongsun! Gongsun!"

When Bai Ting heard someone calling him, he immediately looked up and saw Quan Ding running in front of him, sweating profusely.

Quan Ding was Bai Ting's little follower. He was the traitor when he stole the dog.

"Why are you running? Master, I am shaving my ancestor's head."

"Shave your ancestors' heads?" Quan Ding didn't know how to ask.

"Yes! You don't know, last night, my ancestors told me in a dream that it was too hot. When I saw all the people with disheveled hair, I thought, could it not be hot if the hair is so long?

So I immediately said: 'Ancestors, don't worry, as long as I wake up, I will let you cool down immediately! '

No, I came here to pull weeds early in the morning. Wait a minute, I have already reached Huanzu, Xiangzu and Wuzu. "

After that, he buried his head and continued working. Quan Ding was speechless for a while when he saw this, and then thought of his mission to find him and said:
"By the way, Gongsun, I forgot to mention it. I'm here to tell you that I heard that the young master is going to send you out to study. I heard that the master has a green face and fangs, a big body and a round waist, and he looks exactly like Chiyou."

"What?" Bai Ting straightened up after hearing this, and accidentally brought out a piece of soil from Huanzu's grave with grass and soil, and suddenly there was a hole in the grave.

After Bai Ting heard what Quan Ding said, he immediately dropped the grass and headed for his mother Ban Mo's courtyard.

When the two of them walked away, the officials who came to maintain the cemetery happened to arrive. Seeing the bare graves, they couldn't help shouting in despair: "Whoever has no conscience to harm me will not even spare the cemetery, you beast!"

White Mansion, young master's courtyard, young mistress's room.

Ban Mo was checking the accounts of this year's Baifu caravan when he heard "Mom! Help me!"

So he helplessly held his forehead and sighed. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Bai Ting, whose white shirt was soiled with mud, rushing towards him.

Unable to bear it anymore, he kicked Bai Ting aside. "Ouch!"

Ban Mo calmed down and asked, "Which family's items were damaged again?"

Bai Ting jumped up and said with a smile on his face: "Mom, look at what you said, Ting'er can still do bad things!"

Ban Mo looked at Bai Ting expressionlessly and said, "It's best this way! So what are you doing here?"

Bai Ting said aggrievedly: "I heard that my father wanted to send me to study with people like Chi You. Isn't this letting me fall into the tiger's mouth?"

When Ban Mo heard this, his expression changed: "Really?"

"Then it's still fake! It's absolutely reliable!"

Ban Mo turned around and walked towards Bai Yu's study. Bai Ting followed Ban Mo with a dog-legged look on his face. When they arrived at the study, Bai Ting stopped moving. Seeing this, Ban Mo said, "Aren't you going in?"

Bai Ting smiled awkwardly and said, "Mom, go ahead and speak. Your words will work."

Ban Mo snorted and pushed the door open.

"Bai Yu!"

When Bai Yu saw Ban Mo coming in, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Madam! What are you doing here, madam?"

"I heard that you want to send Ting'er to study abroad?"

"Exactly."

"I don't agree. With so many good teachers in the Bai Kingdom, there is no need to go abroad. Don't think that I don't know that the environment abroad is not as good as that in the Bai Kingdom."

"What did Madam hear?"

Ban Mo looked at Bai Yu and said, "I heard that Master, with his green face and fangs, is the same as Chi You?"

Bai Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained: "Where did the rumors come from? I have seen that master. He is polite, virtuous, knowledgeable, and has a very strong teaching ability. I only let him go for the sake of Ting'er!"

Ban Mo doubted: "Seriously?"

Bai Yu said seriously: "Have I ever lied to Madam?"

Ban Mo rolled his eyes at Bai Yu: "Didn't you lie to me? How did I get married? I was said to be a commoner of the Bai Kingdom at first, but who knew you were a young master! Otherwise, I would be so tired in a day?"

Bai Yu helped Ban Mo to the seat and sat down. He squeezed his shoulders and said, "Yes, yes, I lied to you. But, otherwise, would you have followed me? If I say that I am the heir apparent, why do you hate nobles?" Xin Qi Jin, can you agree to marry me?"

Ban Mo patted Bai Yu's hand and said a little shyly: "Look at you!"

Bai Yu smiled and said nothing, quietly experiencing the happy moment. Suddenly he saw a vague figure outside the door, and knowing that Bai Ting was outside, he said loudly: "You bastard, come in!"

When Bai Ting heard the call from outside, he gritted his teeth and stepped in. I saw my mother sitting on the seat and my father standing aside without saying a word.

Bai Yu said: "You don't need to think too much about it. Lu Guo, you just go and decide."

Bai Ting looked at Ban Mo for help, and Ban Mo said, "Listen to your father."

Bai Yu felt that the whole world was about to collapse in an instant. Bai Yu said:

"You don't have to be like this. This master is not what you think. You will know it when you see him. By the way, you are only allowed to bring two people with you this time, as long as you have enough money to live on. I have already booked one person for you. , another person, you choose."

Bai Ting had no choice but to fight for the best interests and said: "I want to take Quan Ding with me."

Bai Yu agreed, and then asked him to go down and clean up, ready to go at any time. Ban Mo also followed, saying that he would give Bai Ting a good lesson.

Bai Yu had just sat down and was about to continue reading, when a servant came to report and said: "The grass on the graves in the clan cemetery has been pulled out."

When Bai Yu heard this, he was very angry. He was about to order the whole city to search, but then he thought about the dirt on Bai Ting's clothes and suddenly understood something. He almost choked to death and said feebly:

"I know who it is. Those in charge of the cemetery don't want to be severely punished. They can just be imprisoned for a few days and teach them a lesson. I will punish the culprits."

The servants obeyed the orders and went. Bai Yu thought for a long time and then ordered: "Go and tell the people who prepared the luggage for Gongsun that they are not allowed to take any of Gongsun's gold and silver. They will only give him travel expenses. When he gets to Qufu, he will take care of his own life. Let Fang Xiang and Quan Ding supervise him. he."

Then he ordered that fifty white guards be sent to Qufu in disguise to protect Gongsun secretly and not to take action until the moment of life and death.

A few days later, Bai Ting was ready to set off. Ban Mo gave careful instructions beside him and shed tears as he spoke. Bai Ting had no choice but to comfort him, saying that he had been crowned and had the ability to take care of himself. After saying that, he boarded the carriage decisively and drove away with Fang Xiang and Quan Ding.

Bai Ting looked at his mother's figure getting farther and farther away, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little moist. At this time, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a white shadow on the hill next to him, but he couldn't see it clearly on the bumpy carriage. When he was trying to see clearly, Bai Ying disappeared again.

In this way, Bai Ting embarked on the road to study. He didn't know when he would return to Bai Kingdom next time.

I saw Bai Ting wearing a white shirt, with a blue cloth on his forehead to cover his eyebrows. On top of the blue cloth, there was a small piece of jade located between his eyebrows.
The sword hangs on the left and the jade hangs on the right. His movements have been polished by Bai, showing his elegant and handsome temperament. To the uninformed person, he looks like a humble young man at first glance. But as a person close to Bai Ting, Quan Ding knows that Bai Ting The true face of the court.
-
Before meeting his mentor, Yu was as muddy as a wild animal in the mountains and forests, and his words and actions were like a three-year-old child. When he first heard the name of his mentor, his green face and fangs were comparable to Chi You, and he was reluctant to see each other. When I first met my mentor, his face was gentle but serious, powerful but not fierce, his behavior was respectful and calm, slow but not hesitant.
