Chapter 2213 Time Flies
Damn, my daughter-in-law, you let him work at such a young age? Believe it or not, a lightning bolt struck your church? This little girl is none other than Bai Jingqi's wife-in-law Huang Chun. Huang Chun is the daughter of Lord Belle Guiwu and Lord Zhan Da Gege who had an affair. Lord Zhan sent the child to a farmhouse in the countryside for adoption.
Most people don't know about this, but it was known by Bai Yingyu, the third master of Baicao Hall. He had a grudge against Wu Beile, so he thought of using the child to take revenge on him, so he went to the countryside to find the farm that adopted Huang Chun. She brought her to the church. Because Sanye Bai believed in a foreign religion, Father Rong Huashi couldn't refuse, so he first asked Huang Chun to do some odd jobs in the Yuyingtang.
Seriously speaking, Father Rong Huashi's work is also a good deed, but Shen Long must not be able to bear seeing his future wife suffer, but he is still young, so it is not convenient for him to take in Huang Chun for the time being. It's not easy to say this, so I can only continue to ask Father Rong Huashi to help.
Shen Long gave him a sum of money, telling him not to let Huang Chun do these chores, and find someone to teach Huang Chun how to read and write. Hey, if you want to educate children well, the quality of the mother is very important, and education must start with the mother. Get up.
Although Father Rong Huashi thought it was a bit strange, but Shen Long gave the money without the extra expenses of the church. In addition, it was rare to meet such a German-speaking child in the capital. Rong Huashi still wanted to communicate with Shen Long more, so He agreed to this matter, relieved Huang Chun of her job in the Yuyingtang, and started looking for someone to teach her how to read and write.
Shen Long also used learning German as an excuse. He often came to church to chat with Rong Huashi, and visited Huang Chun by the way. He didn't have to work, and he ate well and slept well every day. It's getting more and more juicy.
Father Rong Huashi also helped hide it from Bai Yingyu, but fortunately, Bai Yingyu is not very reliable, so it's fine if he leaves Huang Chun in the church, as long as she doesn't run away, he won't bother to care about how Huang Chun is doing, so instead Nothing happened.
In the blink of an eye, it was Bai Wenshi's 40th birthday. Under her leadership, the Baicao Hall has gradually come out of the crisis and regained its vigor back then. The head of the Baicao Hall celebrated his birthday, so naturally he had to do something big. This is not just the old lady alone. As for people's affairs, the key is to let everyone in the capital see it, and our Baicao Hall is shaking again.
Therefore, the Baicao Hall became extremely lively, and the next generation of the Bai family was also busy. A dozen children: Shen Long, Bai Jingyi, Bai Jingwu, Bai Jinglu, Bai Jingshuang, Bai Jingsi, etc. were all at their desks drawing and writing. An invigilator said, "Today is the 40th birthday of my second grandma! Write it down carefully for me. Later, my second grandma will see your real skills. Whoever learns well will be rewarded. Don't sign the money yet!"
Bai Jingyi was painting a peony, and Shen Long was writing the Chinese characters of longevity on the fan. A dozen male and female congratulatory guests from the Baiwen family, Mr. Shen and Mr. Wei from the Imperial Hospital walked down the hill slowly. Bai Yingxuan followed silently, and Mr. Shen I'm in a good mood, "This year is also the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager Lafayette, and the Emperor and Lord Rong are planning to celebrate Lafayette's birthday.
I heard that the whole world will celebrate together! "
Everyone was talking about Lafayette's 60th birthday and the Sino-Japanese War, and they arrived at the door without knowing it. Bai Wenshi and others walked in. Looking at their works, Bai Wenshi said with a smile, "Mr. Comment, here we belong to your knowledge."
Lord Shen smiled, "Then I'll be rude to the old." Immediately, he began to walk slowly, looking at and commenting, "As far as painting is concerned, this painting of peonies is the best."
When he walked in front of Shen Long's "Bai Shou" fan, Master Shen took a breath and pulled off a few beards, "This is a good writing! Who wrote it?"
"Jing Qi wrote it." Bai Jingyi replied.
Lord Shen admired the fan written by Jing Qi, his eyeballs almost stuck to the fan, "How old is this kid? I can't match this handwriting. There are successors in your Bai family, who did you learn this from? "
"Jing Qi is only fourteen this year, and he studies with Ji Zongbu on weekdays." Bai Yingxuan stretched her neck and looked at it while answering. Is this word really so good?
"I know this guy, he is capable. I heard that he is going to enter the military department, but Ji Zongbu's ability is not in his words. His words can only be spoken, but he can't teach such a good student?" Lord Shen Wondering.
Bai Wenshi wanted to ask Bai Jingqi to ask, but who knew that Shen Long had already left, so the matter had to be abandoned. The next day, before Bai Wenshi had time to thank Ji Zongbu, Ji Zongbu was about to resign and leave, "Now Japan People are fighting hard against North Korea. When we arrived at the Yalu River, Lord Gong came back and transferred me to the military plane. I understand foreign language. Master Li Hongzhang went to Japan for peace talks. There will be no good results. The fortune of the country is declining. That’s all for Jing, if I can, I won’t be able to teach Jing Qi any more.”
Bai Wenshi couldn't help saying: "What are you talking about? Jing Qi has just grown a little bit, and it's all thanks to Mr. Ji's cultivation, but since you left..."
Ji Zongbu sighed, "Hey, these years it is said that I taught Jing Qi, but in fact we are both teachers and friends. Sometimes I have to think carefully about what Jing Qi said; If you want to ask anything, you can still go to me. I will also keep my heart, and I will recommend a suitable husband to Second Mistress in the future!"
"Then there will be Mr. Lao Ji!" When things were like this, Bai Wenshi had nothing to say, and gave Ji Zongbu another generous gift, and asked Shen Long to send him out.
Walking on the street, Ji Zongbu discussed the current situation with Shen Long as before. He no longer regards Shen Long as an ordinary child, and besides, fourteen or fifteen years old is not too young now, "now Lafayette took a step back for the time being and asked Prince Gong to come out and take care of things. Prince Gong has always supported the establishment of Westernization, do you think our Qing Dynasty can take this opportunity to get better?"
Because Prince Gong likes Westernization and ranks sixth, he was given the title of Devil Six. He supported Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and others to carry out the Westernization Movement, focusing on the establishment of military industry and the establishment of private industry as a supplement. , At the same time set up new schools and send overseas students to train talents.
But because of this, he offended the diehards headed by Wo Ren, who had ups and downs in the court. This time should be his last comeback.
So Shen Long shook his head, "I'm afraid it's hanging."
"Why? You don't believe in my ability?" Ji Zongbu asked.
"That's not true. I'm thinking about it. This court is similar to ours. As long as my mother is still there, others will not be able to find flowers." Shen Long's answer stunned Ji Zongbu.
