On the carriage, Bai Jinghao kept looking at Bai Yan. Bai Yan's behavior just now subverted his three views.
He even doubted that those words just now were really spoken by a person who often did all kinds of evil?
After a long time, Bai Jinghao asked: "Yan'er, are you really not going to enter the officialdom? That old guy Qin Mu is ungrateful, but I don't have any other options."
"Father, do you want to request His Highness Prince Yan?" Bai Yan asked with a smile.
Bai Jinghao was stunned for a moment: "How did you know?"
Although he left the palace, he still had contact with Prince Yan. To be precise, the bank was able to develop so rapidly because of Prince Yan's shares.
But he never told anyone this secret.
"Father, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. It is better to beg others than to become stronger yourself." Bai Yan said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jinghao was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears of excitement.
"Yan'er, have you finally thought about it? Father has always been optimistic about you. As long as you are willing to study hard and pass the Jinshi examination, your future achievements will definitely surpass that old guy Qin Mu. After I go back, I will hire the best gentleman for you immediately.
, I’d like to invite ten.”
Bai Yan twitched his lips and asked ten gentlemen. Wouldn't that be more terrifying than the hell of high school life?
"Father, success is not the only way to become an official. In my eyes, father, you are a successful person. I want to learn from my father, take care of the family business, and become a free and easy rich man." Bai Yan said from the bottom of his heart.
said.
He didn't want to get involved in the darkness of officialdom.
Since God has given him such an identity, wouldn't it be happy to be a free and easy rich man?
"Yan'er, if you want to take care of the family business, of course it's best. It's just necessary to study. Father will invite the best teachers for you." Bai Jinghao was full of joy.
Although Bai Yan doesn't like studying, Bai Yan is willing to take care of the family, and he is very satisfied.
Looking at Bai Yan, he felt more and more that Bai Yan had changed. Ever since he had a serious illness some time ago, he was different and getting better and better.
"Father, let's put the study aside for now. I want to go to the surrounding areas to inspect the bank, and I ask my father to agree." Bai Yan requested.
"That's fine. Since Sankou left, I haven't had time to patrol. You just want to go and have a look around to understand the situation."
Bai Jinghao just thought that Bai Yan wanted to avoid the Qin family, so he agreed without thinking. As for studying, he just said that and didn't hold out much hope.
He didn't expect Bai Yan to learn anything, as long as he was willing to do it.
After chatting all the way, we finally returned home.
From a distance, I saw a young woman and a fat boy standing at the door.
This woman is the mistress of the Bai family, the Bai Han family.
Bai Jinghao, like an ordinary rich man, has many wives and concubines, including one wife and four concubines at home.
Bai Hanshi was originally just a bought concubine, belonging to the lowest level of existence.
After Bai Yan's mother passed away, the Bai Han family should not have been raised up, but she gave birth to two sons for Bai Jinghao, and she was raised up and became the mistress of the house and took care of the inner house.
But she was not satisfied, and she focused on Bai Yan, hoping that her son Bai Xu could take his place.
Outside, many relatives were arranged to take care of business at the bank.
Originally, Bai Jinghao would protect Bai Yan, but Bai Yan's reputation became worse and worse, making Bai Jinghao gradually disgusted.
Seeing the two of them, Bai Han stepped forward with a smile: "Master, have you gone to the Qin Mansion? Has the date been set?"
Without waiting for Bai Jinghao to respond, a fast horse came quickly.
A boy handed an invitation to Bai Jinghao and left in a hurry.
"Invitation from Qin Mansion? Didn't I just come back from there? Why didn't I give it to you just now?" Bai Han asked in surprise.
"This is not an invitation. This is forcing our father and son to break off the engagement." Bai Jinghao wrote the invitation tightly and snorted coldly.
Bai Hanshi sneered and said faintly: "Sir, the Qin family broke off the engagement because of Bai Yan, right? Mr. Qin has just been promoted to prefect, how could he let his daughter marry a dandy?"
Bai Xu, a young man on the side, also complained: "Father, I heard that my eldest brother refused to kneel down and worship the God of Fire at the foot of the Gushan Mountain, and even offended the God of Fire in public, which made people angry. This matter has been made known to the whole city.
I think Master Qin's desire to regret his marriage has something to do with this matter."
"The matter of breaking off the engagement has nothing to do with Yan'er. It's because the old man is ungrateful. It's okay not to mention it."
Bai Jinghao waved his hand and didn't want to talk any more.
"Master, how could it be possible that he has nothing to do with Bai Yan? You don't know his reputation outside. What's more, Mr. Qin is also a person who pays attention to reputation. How could he do something unethical at this time? Mr. Qin sent
When people come to send invitations, they must be expressing their dissatisfaction, and there is no room for relaxation." Bai Hanshi said.
"Oh? Then tell me, what should we do now?" Bai Jinghao asked.
"First, beat Bai Yan fifty times, then tie him up and give him to Mr. Qin, at his disposal. Then, the master will personally speak to Mr. Qin and cancel the engagement between Bai Yan and Miss Qin." Bai Han said solemnly.
said.
"You want me to take the initiative and cancel the engagement?" Bai Jinghao frowned.
"Yes, cancel the engagement between Miss Qin and Bai Yan and change it to the engagement between Miss Qin and Bai Xu. My son is talented and intelligent, and he is good at reading. He will be able to obtain fame in a short time. Letting Miss Qin marry Bai Xu will not be an insult to her.
.The most important thing is that this does not violate the intention of getting married, and everyone is happy." Bai Han suggested.
"The Second Madam is so scheming. If you get rid of me, not only will Bai Xu inherit the family, but you will also have Qin Mu as your backer. This is really killing two birds with one stone." Bai Yan couldn't help but speak.
"Bai Yan, Master Qin looks down on you, what does it have to do with us? I did this not to offend Master Qin, but also for the sake of the family. Do you know that if you offend the God of Flame, you are committing a serious crime. Once you are questioned, it is
You will harm the whole family. Rather than letting you harm the family, it would be better to hand you over to buy peace for the family."
"Whether it's offensive or not depends on the heart, not the lips." Bai Yan retorted: "Master Qin can't look down on me, a direct descendant, how can he look down on the child of a cheap concubine who was bought with money?"
After saying that, Bai Yan was too lazy to pay attention to Bai Hanshi anymore, said hello to Bai Jinghao, turned around and left.
"You, you..."
Bai Hanshi was so angry that her face turned red, she pointed at Bai Yan and was speechless.
"Master, did you hear what that little brat said about me? Master, you can't ignore it." Bai Hanshi cried to Bai Jinghao.
"Have you noticed that Yan'er has changed?" Bai Jinghao smiled happily: "Bai Yan stopped cursing, at least he didn't go down the road to call the elders. Han, don't provoke Bai Yan in the future, and be nice to him.
