In the private room, Brother Bai has been sitting here for a while, but the two people on the opposite side have no intention of taking the initiative to speak.

He didn't understand a little, didn't these two people call him here? Why did he come, but the two didn't speak.

Finally, just when he was about to take the initiative to ask the other party, the other party said, "Are you Brother Bai?"

The other party's opening made Zhao Chengnan who was outside the door terrified. Why was his aunt inside? He was so frightened that he almost lost his footing and fell directly into the door.

Then came the voice of Brother Bai: "Yes, I am Brother Bai."

"Then do you know why the two of us asked you to come here?" Mother Xiao said.

"do not know.".Brother Bai shook his head. In fact, he had some guesses about the other party's intentions, but at this time, he couldn't say that he knew it!

"Okay, I won't spare you any more. The two of us are here to tell you to retreat. You and my Zimo are not suitable." Mother Xiao said directly.

Wu Bai chuckled and said, "Mrs. Xiao, I don't know if the two of you came to see me today, does Xiao Zimo know?"

Hearing Wu Bai's rhetorical question, Mrs. Xiao patted the table next to her in a hurry.

With a loud bang, the door opened from the outside, and a person rolled in.

It turned out that Mrs. Xiao slapped the table hard, and was startled by Zhao Chengnan, who was leaning against the door. He didn't stand up straight. He didn't stabilize his body for a while and fell in.

.Zhao Chengnan quickly got up from the ground, he smiled embarrassingly at the three of them, and also called out to Xiao's husband, and then said: "Uncle and aunt, I just passed by, haha, passing by, I didn't expect to be here. It was such a coincidence to meet you."

Then he turned to Wu Bai and said, "Brother, I happened to be looking for you for something, but I didn't expect to meet you here. There is news about the person you asked me to help investigate last time, but I gave the information. Stay in the mansion, do you want to come and have a look with me?" Then he kept giving Wu Bai a look to signal him to escape with him.

"Wait, what did you call him just now?" Father Xiao asked again as if he didn't hear clearly.

Wu Bai: "..."

Zhao Chengnan: "...It's not called anything, it's called Bai Geer, right? Bai Geer, I really have something to look for you, you can go and see with me first!" .After speaking, he was worried about what the husband of Xiao would ask again, and left the restaurant with Wu Bai.

After leaving the restaurant, Zhao Chengnan asked, "Brother, why did you meet my uncle and the others?"

"What about you? Didn't you leave the restaurant? Why did you come back and eavesdrop on our conversation." Wu Bai looked at the other side narrowly.

Zhao Chengnan said angrily: "I'm not worried about you. You are mysterious. If something happens to you, it's not my cousin who is worried. I have to watch for him."

Wu Bai didn't argue with him, and instead asked, "Is it true that you said you found out who the Hanlin Academy was?"

"of course it's true."

"That's fine, let's go to your house now." Wu Bai suggested.

."You don't need to go to my house. I just made an excuse. In fact, I have written down the information of that person." Zhao Chengnan replied.

"Then speak up."

"The other party's name is Ji Wen, 20 years old this year, and he is a reviewer of the Hanlin Academy. From a seventh-rank official, there is really only one old man in the family. His family background is innocent, and it's easy to handle." Zhao Chengnan said.

"Then do you know where his family lives now?"

"I know, living in Changning Street, that street is full of people with low official positions like him who have no other income except for their salary, because the housing prices there are moderate, and the next main street is the gate of the patrol department. The location is fairly peaceful." Zhao Chengnan introduced them one by one.

.The two were talking while walking, and their attention was all on Ji Wen, so they didn't notice the malicious gaze from a carriage that was passing slowly beside them.

"Brother, are you going to see Ji Wen's house?" Zhao Chengnan asked.

Wu Bai thought for a while, shook his head, and then said to Zhao Chengnan: "I won't go, you can find someone to remind Ji Wen that he'd better not marry within this year, that's all."

Although Zhao Chengnan didn't understand why Wu Bai asked him to do this, he thought that he would have nothing to do anyway, so he walked towards Yongning Street and wanted to remind Ji Wen in person.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

Ji Wen in the door heard someone knocking on the door. He walked over and opened the door. He found a boy he didn't know standing outside the door, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Jiwen."

"I am."

."That's it, someone asked me to tell you something."

"What?"

"It's best not to get married this year." As soon as Zhao Chengnan finished speaking, Ji Wen slammed the door shut.

Zhao Chengnan touched his nose, which was almost hit, and was a little confused. He just reminded the other party not to marry within this year, why is he so angry?

As everyone knows, Ji Wen in the door is angry. His family background is not good, and his mother and father are sick. Even if he is an official now, the salary of the Hanlin Academy is only enough for the family to live and for his mother and father. If there is any money left to get married, even the matchmaker is reluctant to introduce him to him when he hears about the situation of his family, otherwise he will not be married until he is 20 years old.

.So in the face of Zhao Chengnan's reminder, he only thought it was a kind of irony. If it weren't for Zhao Chengnan's expensive clothes and his identity is not simple, he would want to beat the other party, and he would be angry.

Zhao Chengnan, who was outside the door, saw that the other party didn't take what he said seriously at all, and let himself be closed. After the government, he sent his subordinates to watch Ji Wen's every move and asked his subordinates to report to him in time.

So his subordinates began to pay attention to Ji Wen, and reported Ji Wen's actions to him on time every day, what he did today, and what he did tomorrow. After a long time, Zhao Chengnan found that Ji Wen was actually a capable person. The people who are just buried and not reused.

.A few years later, when Zhao Chengnan became the emperor, he dealt with a large number of officials and vacated a lot of positions. He found a position that was particularly suitable for Jiwen, so he transferred Jiwen to that position.

At that time, Ji Wen received the imperial decree and accidentally looked up when he entered the palace to thank him. The shocked whole person was dizzy. Of course, this is another story.

Time has passed, Wu Bai and the others have been in the capital for a month and a half, and there is only half a month left before Wu Kangan will participate in the autumn festival.

But this time, they didn't panic, because Xiao Zimo had already asked Wu Kangan to teach him his knowledge.

.From Wu Kang'an's own point of view, he definitely didn't want to accept Xiao Zimo's flattery, but when he thought of his own efforts, it would be very difficult to be selected in this autumn season, and then the gap between the Wu family and the Xiao family would be reduced. The bigger the pull, if Xiao Zimo bullies Wu Bai in the future, he will be even more powerless, so he still accepts Xiao Zimo's flattery.

It is because of this that Wu Bai followed Xiao Zimo out these days, and he couldn't say anything against it.

On this day, Wu Bai received a letter again, in which he invited him to a private room in a certain restaurant, and had something important to tell him.

Wu Bai thought it was another letter sent to him by the husband of the Xiao family, thinking that it was not a problem for him to hide from the other party, so he went out to the restaurant and entered the private room mentioned in the letter.

.But this time maybe he came earlier. The husband of the Xiao family didn't arrive. He sat on the stool and waited for a while, feeling a little thirsty. It was nice that there was a pot of tea on the table, so he poured himself a cup. , Just as he was about to drink, Xiao Zimo came in.

"Brother Bai, are you okay?" Xiao Zimo asked as soon as he came in.

He went to the small courtyard of the inn today and was about to find Brother Bai when he heard Wu Kangan say that Brother Bai had already gone out. He asked Wu Kangan for the restaurant's address and rushed over because his parents had come to Wu Bai to come to the restaurant. He also heard Zhao Chengnan talk about the matter, so this time he was worried that his parents would continue to find trouble for Bai Ge'er, so he hurried over.

He glanced around and didn't see his parents, so he felt a little strange, so he asked, "Why are you alone, my parents and others?"

."I don't know, I've been waiting here for a while, but no one came. No, I'm a little thirsty. I'm about to drink tea, so you're here." Wu Bai raised the teacup in his hand.

Xiao Zimo grew up with all kinds of calculations since he was a child, so he naturally noticed that things were different. He took the teacup in Wu Bai's hand, lowered his head and smelled it, and said coldly, "This tea doesn't taste right, it's in it. Lost in love. Lost in love."

"What?" Wu Bai looked scared.

"I didn't expect my husband to be getting more and more extreme, to actually use such a rude method against you." Xiao Zimo said angrily.

"Uh... Actually, it's not necessarily their hand. The letter I received this time was not signed. It was just because of the previous incident, so I guessed it was them." Wu Bai persuaded.

."Wait, I seem to hear footsteps coming towards us, so let's hide behind the screen first, I pretend to drink this thing and faint, let's see who wants to shoot me. "Wu Bai arranged.

"Well." Xiao Zimo stepped back behind the screen to the side. The screen was made of dark cloth, and the color was somewhat similar to the color of Xiao Zimo's clothes.

Seeing that Xiao Zimo had hidden it, Wu Bai also made the tea cup in the cup overturned on the table, and then patted his face twice to make it look red, and then fainted beside the table.

At this moment, the footsteps at the door also stopped.

The other party stopped at the door for a while and didn't hear any movement in the house, so he quietly opened the door and walked in.

.Seeing Wu Bai, whose face was flushed and fainted by the table, he smiled with satisfaction.
