After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 18 Burning incense only when the time comes
"Well, I did it on purpose."
Finally, on the fourth trip, she met Bai Luochuan who was returning to the house, and her elder brother Bai Mulin whom she met for the first time.
Bai Mulin was wearing a light blue long coat and a jade crown to tie his hair. He looked 60% like Bai Yanlang, with sword-like eyebrows and big eyes. The remaining 40% was probably from the Qiao family, and he looked like a gentleman.
But this is just appearance, this person is very two-faced.
When Bai Mulin saw her and Zhao Qianqian, his eyes lit up. He took a few steps forward and smiled slightly, "It's windy today. Why don't you stay indoors with your guests, Fourth Sister? Be careful not to catch a cold."
Bai Luochuan had no time to care about Bai Youyou, as he looked at Zhao Qianqian with a fiery gaze.
Today, the owner of Huixian Tower announced that in half a month, Mr. Mo will give a three-day lecture at Huixian Tower.
As soon as the news came out, all the scholars were excited. Now, everyone was looking forward to getting an invitation from the great scholar Mo.
Many people in the capital city knew that the ancestor of the Zhao family and the great scholar Mo were close friends.
He controlled his inner excitement and nodded to her politely, "Ms. Zhao."
Zhao Qianqian responded politely, "Mr. Bai, Second Mr. Bai."
"It's cold, let's go back."
Bai Youyou achieved her goal and immediately pulled Zhao Qianqian away.
In the evening, Bai Yanlang came uninvited.
Lu was having dinner with Bai Youyou. When she saw him, she just glanced at him casually, as if there was no one in front of her, and continued eating.
Bai Yanlang was not annoyed. He sat down beside her with a smile and asked Cuizhu to add a set of bowls and chopsticks for him.
Anyone who shows kindness to others for no reason is either a traitor or a thief. Bai Youyou knew why.
"Youyou, is your wrist injury feeling better?"
The way he spoke so softly made Lu stunned, her straight-minded mind couldn't wrap its head around it.
She asked blankly, "Did you take the wrong medicine today?"
Bai Yanlang's cheerful face seemed to be split in half by an axe. After a pause, he continued to smile as he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Bai Youyou's bowl.
"You are still growing, so eat more."
Bai Youyou ate the piece of meat he picked up out of respect, then put down her bowl and chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "I'm full."
When she stood up, Bai Yanlang became anxious and quickly pulled her to sit down, "Sit for a while after you're full. Dad has something to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
Bai Yanlang saw that Bai Youyou looked cold and was not moved by his concern at all, and felt a little embarrassed.
He asked with a shameless face: "Do you have any relationship with the daughter of the Zhao family, the Minister of Justice?"
Bai Youyou nodded, "Yeah, there are some, but not many."
"Well, it's like this..."
Bai Yanlang never thought that one day he would have to beg his daughter. He smiled and said, "Did you know that the news came out in Huixian Tower that Master Mo was going to give a lecture today?"
Bai Youyou's tone was still indifferent, "I didn't go out today, I don't know."
Mrs. Lu held the chopsticks in her hand, looking at Bai Yanlang's pretentiousness, and glared at him unhappily, "Just tell me what you want to say, who are you trying to trick by beating around the bush!"
Bai Yanlang was already immune to his wife's way of speaking. Since Mrs. Lu had said so, he didn't hide it and said bluntly: "Youyou, you are good friends with Miss Zhao. Your father wants you to go to Miss Zhao to ask for a few invitations from Mr. Mo."
Bai Youyou widened her eyes, looking at Bai Yanlang with some disbelief as he opened his mouth. "Dad, you are still dreaming, right? It's so hard to get one invitation, but you get several just by asking. Do you really think that Mo Daru's invitation is as easy as pie in the sky, and you can get it just by asking?"
No matter how thick-skinned Bai Yanlang was, his face turned red with shame when his own daughter mercilessly laughed at him for daydreaming.
"If a few won't work, two will do."
"You must be joking, two?" Bai Youyou stood up. "If you want to make a wish, go to the Big Buddha Temple. I'm not a turtle in the wishing well. I can get something just by opening my mouth."
When Bai Yanlang raised her legs, he pulled her back and said, "My dear girl, if two are not enough, which one? Considering your friendship with Miss Zhao, one should be fine, right?"
"An invitation from Mr. Mo is worth a fortune. Dad, it's getting dark, let's go to bed. You can have whatever you want in your dreams."
Seeing that she was not interested, Bai Yanlang immediately turned cold and said, "The concierge said that Miss Zhao has been looking for you for two consecutive days. You two have such a good relationship, how could you not even get a letter?"
"Even if I can get it, why should I use my connections to ask for the post on your behalf?" Bai Youyou glanced at him and sneered, "Which one of you is worthy of me doing this?"
Before Bai Yanlang could speak, Bai Youyou raised his hand to stop him, "Don't say you are my father. You have favored Bai Yaoyao over the years and have not taken me, your legitimate daughter, to heart. If you want to make a request, why not let your beloved daughter do it instead of asking me."
Mrs. Lu understood. "You come to the Three Treasures Hall to ask for help, but you only burn incense when the time comes."
She sneered, "You think of my daughter when you have something to do. How come you don't think of my daughter when you get all those good things? You even want my daughter to lose face and beg for help. Don't you see how shameless you are?"
I knew that this black-hearted person coming uninvited would be up to no good.
She was so angry that she picked up the bowl and chopsticks in front of Bai Yanlang and put them aside, and said to Cuizhu: "Cuizhu, take the rice away and give it to pigs and dogs. Don't even give him any to eat!"
Bai Yanlang's face turned red due to her vulgar words. He felt so angry that he wanted to lose his temper, but he had to ask for help from others, so he had to hold back his anger.
"I want Youyou to ask for the post not only for Luochuan, but also for the imperial examination in the future. If I can listen to the lectures of Master Mo, I will definitely benefit a lot. Maybe I can pass the exam in the spring of next year."
The Lu family would never believe his lies.
All the benefits in the past were given to the one born to Qiao, so how could he give this opportunity to his own son now?
"Do you believe this nonsense?" Mrs. Lu said indifferently, "Anyway, that rebellious son is not with me, and I am too lazy to make plans for him. If you want a post, go and ask for it yourself. Don't embarrass my daughter."
Bai Yanlang felt a little guilty. He turned his head and looked at Bai Youyou, "Youyou, for your brother's sake, why don't you go and beg for mercy?"
Bai Youyou said nothing and waved her arm in front of him.
"He is your brother. You two are blood relatives from the same mother. Even if your bones are broken, your tendons are still connected."
Bai Yanlang looked helpless. He said kindly, "Just forgive him this time. Tomorrow, I will ask him to come and apologize to you. Is that okay?"
"No, you want to get a priceless invitation just by talking. You might as well dream about it. Dreams come true faster."
Bai Youyou remained indifferent and turned away.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Bai Yanlang stood up and stopped her, "Then tell me, how can we ask for an invitation for your brother?"
