Although he knew about the relationship between the Kong family and the old lady, Bai Cangdong still felt that the Kong family's statement was a bit too big.
After all, you are asking for help. It doesn't matter if you don't give gifts or talk. At least you have to send someone to take the person there. But the Kong family has no such intention at all. They don't even show their faces. That means Bai Cang.
Dong himself came to the door and begged for help.
If it had been anyone else, Bai Cangdong would never have gone. But this time, after all, it was for the old lady. Bai Cangdong had no choice but to make this trip. How could he untie the Kong family's sacred object order and replace the old lady?
People repay this favor.
Bai Candong came to the door of the Kong family by himself. Bai Candong didn't believe that the Kong family didn't know that he was coming, but the door of the Kong family was tightly closed, and there was not even a gatekeeper.
"I have to endure this time no matter what." Bai Cangdong also looked away at this time. After all, he was here to pay off the debt for the old lady, so if he is angry, he should be angry.
Bai Cangdong walked to the door and knocked on it, knocking more than ten times, and waited for another ten minutes before the door creaked open.
However, the door was only opened a crack, and a young man who looked like a servant stood inside. He glanced at Bai Cangdong coldly and asked expressionlessly: "Who are you?"
Bai Cangdong was almost angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas were born in heaven. He didn't believe that the big Kong family didn't know who he was, Bai Cangdong.
"My descendant, Bai Cangdong, has been ordered by the old lady to come and interpret the sacred object order for the Kong family." Bai Cangdong said expressionlessly.
He really couldn't figure it out. It was obviously your Kong family who asked for the interpretation of the sacred object order, but you staged it like this. He didn't know if those people in the Kong family were mentally ill.
After announcing his name and purpose of visit, Bai Cangdong thought that he should be able to go in this time. Who knew that after listening to Bai Cangdong's words, the servant just said, "Wait, wait," and closed the door again with a bang.
, and almost knocked Bai Cangdong's nose into the air as he was about to go in.
"Kong family, you are awesome, I can't bear it." Bai Cangdong was already a little impatient, but for the sake of the old lady, he had to untie the sacred object order before leaving.
Bai Cangdong waited outside for half an hour before the door of the Kong family finally opened. It was the same servant who just said to Bai Cangdong indifferently: "Come with me, the master of the house is waiting to see you in the hall.
"
Bai Cangdong was used to it and was too lazy to get angry again. He followed the servant through the door and walked to the hall of the Kong family.
Ordinarily, with Bai Cangdong's status, he is also the head disciple. Even if the Kong family is not the head of the family, they still have to find someone with weight to entertain him. However, the Kong family sent Bai Cangdong away with just one servant.
Bai Cangdong didn't care about this, so he followed the servant to the Kong family hall. There were many people in the Kong family hall. The head of the Kong family sat high up in the hall, with many elders of the Kong family sitting on both sides, and standing on both sides.
Looking at Kong Chuan and other young people of this generation, all of whom had cold faces, they felt that the Kong family hall was no different from the ancient yamen. The head of the Kong family was sitting directly above him like a county magistrate, while Bai Cangdong was standing there.
It's like a prisoner in the middle.
"Bai Cangdong came to the Kong family to untie the sacred object order on the order of the old lady." Bai Cangdong was too lazy to care about anything now. He directly explained his purpose and just wanted to untie the sacred object order and leave quickly.
"The sacred object order left by my ancestors of the Kong family cannot be solved casually. If you want to solve it, you must first prove your ability to unlock the sacred object order." The head of the Kong family said coldly.
Bai Cangdong looked at the head of the Kong family and felt extremely funny. If he hadn't come here for the old lady, he would have turned around and left without saying a word. In the future, even if the Kong family cried, knelt and begged him, he would never step in again.
Half a step into Confucius' house.
But now Bai Cangdong can't leave, but a sneer appears on the corner of his mouth: "Elder Kong, how do you think I can prove that I am qualified to unlock your family's sacred object order?"
"I will give you three questions. If you can answer them all, then let you try to solve my Kong family's sacred object order. If you can't answer it, go back and forth from where you are." The head of the Kong family has a condescending attitude.
attitude of contempt.
Bai Cangdong felt funny and angry. These wealthy nobles really made people feel helpless. He never wanted to deal with such people in his life.
Even if both parties are enemies, when you ask someone to do something, you don’t need to be humble or ask for much respect. At least you can do things in a way that makes people happy. Unfortunately, the Kong family obviously doesn’t even have such a small request.
I plan to make Bai Candong live a comfortable life.
"Okay, let's ask Elder Kong to come up with the question." Bai Cangdong no longer wants to say another word of nonsense.
But the head of the Kong family, now the third elder of Yuxu Palace, had no intention of letting Bai Cangdong go. He just pondered for a moment, looked at the Kong family members on both sides and asked: "Which of you will give him three questions? Look at him."
Are you qualified to interpret the Kong family's sacred object order?"
"Head of the family, if we elders come up with questions, it will make people think that the Kong family is bullying him by bullying the younger ones. It is better to let the young people come up with the questions for him, so that others will not think that our Kong family is unkind." A member of the Kong family said.
people said.
"What Lao Liu said is reasonable. Don't let people think that our Kong family has no grace. Forget it, we elders, just randomly call three boys from the younger generation and give him a question each." Another one.
The great master of the Kong family said.
"Then let's do it like this." The head of the Kong family nodded slightly and seemed to casually point the three young people out: "Just you three."
Bai Cangdong looked at the Kong family singing and drinking there, and felt pitiful and ridiculous. Just seeing that the last three people they selected included Kong Chuan, Bai Cangdong knew that these were definitely not just three people chosen at random.
Simple.
It is even very possible that even the questions that Kong Chuan and the three of them asked were already discussed before, and they just wanted to use this to humiliate Bai Candong.
"Bai Candong, what do you think of these three people? If you feel dissatisfied, we can replace them with three others." The head of the Kong family looked at Bai Candong and said with some contempt.
"No need, just them." Bai Cangdong's eyes flashed slightly with coldness. Since the Kong family deliberately wanted to humiliate him, there was no need for him to stick to his cold face with a warm face.
Anyway, as long as the sacred object order is solved, it will be regarded as repaying the old lady's favor. As for the process in the middle, Bai Cangdong feels that there is no need to care about these details, so he does not save any face for the Kong family.
"You want to play, then I will play with you." Bai Cangdong looked at Kong Chuan and the other three people standing in front of him indifferently.
"If you don't object, let me ask the question first." One of the young men of the sage class took two steps forward and walked to Bai Candong and said.
Bai Cangdong was right. These three people were not randomly selected. Apart from Kong Chuan, the other two were also sons of the Kong family who were very talented in literature and art. They were the best of their generation in the Kong family.
Moreover, the topic they came up with was indeed not their own idea, but was discussed in advance by everyone in the Kong family.
