Chapter 73: Ethnology
Bai Jiyuan's words did make sense, and Bai Xianyou, who was only six years old, was still a child at heart, and his temper came and went even faster.

Soon the scene turned into two brothers and sisters watching Jing Wu eating steamed buns.

Bai Xianyou is a gourmet lover, and Bai Ji is no exception.

"Gu" swallowed subtly, Bai Jiyuan stared at the steamed bun in Jing Wu's hand and smirked, and said, "Jing Wu, your steamed bun is not white at all, but it smells strange. "

"Brother Six, these steamed buns are delicious, but you don't want to think about Jing Wu's breakfast."

At this moment, Bai Xianyou has completely lost the emotion of being jealous of Jing Wu's clothes before.Afraid that her sixth brother would snatch the food, she hastily spoke out to stop Bai Jiyuan's possible next move.

"Brother Six, did you play truant today?" Bai Xianyou changed the subject and helped Jing Wu win time to eat steamed buns.

Seeing his younger sister's vigilant expression, Bai Jiyuan said gloomily, "Bai Xianyou, where are your ears? You asked me when I came here just now... Today's family school is on holiday."

Bai Xianyou's face turned pale. She had just been devoting herself to unpacking the gift boxes and being sad about her brother's eccentricity. How could she care to listen to what Bai Jiyuan had to say.

"Hmph, you're not old enough, I think you're Lai Xue." A pair of big eyes rolled around, and Bai Xianyou suddenly let out a "puchi", "Or, Sixth Brother, you were actually kicked out by the master." School? Haha, I think this is more likely."

Bai Jiyuan was almost laughed at by Bai Xianyou at this moment.

He really didn't like going to school, listening to his master nagging.

But how could he have the guts to play truant... If he had the guts, what would he do to skip school, pay the money, and just run away from home, just in time to find his eldest sister.

"If you don't believe me, go ahead and look for Third Brother, or Ji Yi, and see if they are in the mansion." Bai Jiyuan replied angrily.

"Why are you so angry? What kind of brother is Bai Jitong? I, Bai Xianyou, don't have such a scumbag brother."

Hearing Bai Jiyuan mention "Third Brother", Bai Xianyou's expression was full of disgust.

On the contrary, Bai Jiyuan looked puzzled. He knew that Bai Jitong had done some ridiculous things recently, but he couldn't reach the point of "scum".

Bai Jitong was scolded at Yanhe Hall this morning, but whether it was Uncle Bai, the old lady or the old man, they only focused on training. No one brought Bai Jitong's incident yesterday evening to the surface.

Therefore, at this time, Bai Jiyuan just thought that the elders in the family were angry at Bai Jitong for having a child before his wedding.

"What, don't you know... Thanks to you living in the front yard, the news is not as good as mine..."

When Bai Xianyou saw her sixth brother, she was stunned, and immediately recounted what she had told Jing Wu before, and shared it with Bai Jiyuan again.

Straight to what Bai Jiyuan said, he was taken aback for a while.

He really couldn't have imagined that the third brother, who is usually personable and has the image of a pure and noble young master, could do such an absurd thing, and everything else was fine.

"Does Second Aunt and Ji Yi know about this?" Bai Jiyuan suddenly frowned.

"Sooner or later, when Auntie Xie was talking about this yesterday, there were quite a lot of maids waiting on her."

Only one servant knows about gossip, and this servant may not dare to speak nonsense.

But if several servants know about a gossip, then it is only a matter of time before the gossip spreads throughout the entire mansion.

Bai Jiyuan rubbed his wrists and fell silent. It's true that Bai Jitong is his brother with the same father, but he values ​​Bai Jiyi's feelings more.

The time when the siblings chatted and gossiped.

Jing Wu ate two whole grain steamed buns with tea.

But she didn't just eat. She also kept paying attention to the conversation between the siblings.

"There are so many worries, why not go to the second lady and the eighth young master to find out the truth, the third young master is the young master of the big house."

Jing Wu gave a reminder, but it was mainly for Bai Jiyuan.

As for Bai Xianyou, she was still young after all, and she was a girl, no matter what happened, it was her turn not to come forward.

It was rare for Bai Jiyuan to understand Jing Wu's meaning, no matter how wrong Bai Jitong was, he was always a member of their big family, and he would lose everything.

So he said goodbye, planning to visit Bai Jiyi's first.

Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment, and let Zemu take back the box containing the satin clothes.

"Jing Wu, I'll give it to you next time."

"It's all right, no problem." Jing Wu replied with a smile, if it wasn't hard to refuse, she would really be insensitive to this kind of glittering clothes.

Bai Jiyuan left in a hurry, but Bai Xianyou still sat motionless.

Jing Wu said, "Miss Twelfth still not going back?".

Bai Xianyou blinked, still with some bloodshot eyes, puzzled, "Why should I go back?"

"What should I do if the eldest lady finds you later?"

Bai Xianyou looked sleepy.

"My mother, I'm gone again... After saying goodbye to my mother in the morning, I went back to the next room, and when I came out again, my mother disappeared."

"Jing Wu, why don't you give me some questions, and I can do arithmetic to pass the time."

Jing Wu felt suffocated.

The current situation of the Bai family is really strange.

Connected with the strange and missing eldest lady; the third young master who is obsessed with lust and desire; and the ethnology who is suddenly on vacation.

Looking at Bai Xianyou who was at a loss, Jing Wu asked subconsciously, "Do you want to go to ethnology together?"

As soon as she said it, Jing Wu regretted it. What is Bai Xianyou doing? She has a smaller goal by herself. If she brings Bai Xianyou, doesn't that mean that she also needs to bring Hanzi and Handi?
"Huh? Ethnology? What are you doing there?" Bai Xianyou asked suspiciously.

The clan of the Bai family is adjacent to the Bai family's mansion, and there is a connected corner door at the northeast corner of the front yard, which is for the convenience of the young master of the Bai family going to and from school.

It is said to be ethnology, but in fact, apart from the third, sixth, and eighth young masters of the Bai family, and the children of the collateral lines of the Bai family, more of the students who are studying are actually talented students from poor families funded by the Bai family.

Subsidizing the poor family is a way for the Bai family to develop and strengthen itself, just like the diners before.

"Jing Wu, I heard that there are a lot of people over there. Isn't it good in the past?" Seeing that Jing Wu didn't speak, Bai Xianyou hesitated to persuade again.

Jing Wu smiled awkwardly, "I almost forgot that many students live there on weekdays, so it's not easy to see."

Jing Wu looked restless, which made Bai Xianyou very worried.

"Jing Wu, are you okay?"

Jing Wu twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's okay, but Miss Twelve, I may have caught a cold, I'd better go back to sleep for a while, I have a headache..."

Bai Xianyou recalled Jing Wu's state when he just woke up, although he was a bit regretful, but he was not suspected.

"Then you, remember to have a good rest. I'll go back to Ning Yuan first. Jing Wu, after you rest, come to Zhi Ning Yuan to find me, okay?"

Jing Wu nodded absent-mindedly, and seeing Bai Xianyou's eyes, it seemed that Jing Wu was indeed trying to hold on.

After sending Jing Wu back to the room, Bai Xianyou finally left.

Jing Wu quickly removed most of the jewelry on his body, and changed into the inconspicuous clothes again.

For a while, she was no different from an ordinary little maid.

Two quarters of an hour later, she was already walking on the corridor leading to the ethnology in the front yard, and no one had noticed that she was "Miss Jing" along the way.

At that time, after hearing Bai Jiyuan mention ethnology, she had a strong feeling that her father and Luwu should be on the ethnology side.

Go through the corridor and through the corner door.

The deep path is hidden behind a patch of green bamboo.

Jing Wu walked quickly on the path, turned a corner, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

What appeared in front of her was a flat open space. There were many stone tables and benches placed in an orderly manner along the edge of the open space, which should be for students to communicate and rest after class.

But at this time, there was only a half-grown boy in Tsing Yi sitting on the numerous stone benches.

The boy, hearing footsteps, turned around.

A familiar face appeared in front of Jing Wu's eyes.

Jing Wu exclaimed, "Bai Jiyuan, didn't you go find the Eighth Young Master? Why are you here?"

When Bai Jiyuan saw Jing Wu, he was not surprised, but instead said helplessly, "Third brother's matter is a foregone conclusion. I'll act sooner, later, or simply pretend that I don't know about it. In fact, it won't affect much."

"However, Jing Wu, it seems that my feeling is quite accurate. When I said that the ethnology school was on vacation, your expression was a little bit wrong."

When Bai Jiyuan said this, he let out a long breath, and then continued.

"There are a lot of things going on at home recently, Jing Wu, you really don't need to get involved."

Jing Wu had regained her composure at this time. She walked to Bai Jiyuan, found a stone stool and sat down, looked at Bai Jiyuan and asked.

"Do you know something? I just want to know if my dad is in trouble."

Bai Jiyuan appeared too suddenly, as if he deliberately prevented her from discovering something.

Bai Jiyuan and Jing Wu looked at each other.

"I know some things, it's just a general idea. But don't worry about Jing Wu, the housekeeper can handle it. If you care about it, it will be messed up. You have to trust the housekeeper's ability."

Jing Wu lowered his gaze, stood up, said softly, "Thank you", and then continued to walk in the direction of ethnology.

Bai Jiyuan also got up and caught up with Jing Wu in a few steps.

Feeling Bai Jiyuan's approach.

Jing Wu turned his head angrily, and before he had time to take a closer look at Bai Jiyuan's expression, he couldn't help roaring, "There's no end to it, just pull it down if you don't want to talk, I can't see it by myself! You still want to drag me back." !"

Bai Jiyuan gritted his teeth, "Hey, Jing Wu, don't be like this, you don't know the way, I'll take you away, oops... Actually, I'm holding back too, I knew you, a clever little ghost, would understand my hints, You're here now..."

"Jing Wu, when the time comes when father and the others ask, you have to say, I came here again to study the family to stop you! Let me tell you, the big housekeeper specially came to notify me in the morning. Thought he knew I knocked on your window the night before."

"The butler's original words, waiting for his notice when classes will resume, how scary! What happened..."

"Jing Wu, I can't stop you anyway, I came here again for your safety, you have to protect me!"

Amid Bai Jiyuan's chatter, Jing Wu slowly calmed down.

Looking at Bai Jiyuan's sloppy face, he recalled his serious and serious look when he stopped him.

Is it because Bai Jiyuan's acting skills are too good, or is Bai Jiyuan just a schizophrenic?
