Chapter 36: Professor Jiang


Although Yi Ba called me brother, who was in the first year of junior high school, he didn't regard me as his brother at all when we were fighting for seats. Before I could react, he took the co-pilot's seat with his green cloth bag.

“It’s pretty fast!” I glanced at Yi Ba and said, “Why don’t you, my first-year junior high school brother, and I sit a little closer to your sister-in-law?”

"Why are you sitting so close? Don't you know I'm single now? It's so cruel for you to sit so close together?" This guy Yi Ba didn't go down the mountain for long, but he learned a lot of fashionable words.

The co-pilot was robbed, so I had to sit in the trunk!

As soon as Z4 drove to the entrance of Sanheyuan, the familiar sound of the piano came out.

"Thump thump thump... thump thump thump..."

Bai Fuzi played "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" this time. Meeting a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers, could it be that Master Bai regarded Yi Ba as a bosom friend. The last time I came here, I didn't get this kind of treatment.

“Don’t you want to end your single life? Why don’t you hook up with Master Bai?” I pulled Yi Ba aside and said in a low voice: “Master Bai is a little older than you, though. , but she is definitely a great beauty, and she has great abilities.”

“I can’t stand such a great beauty.” Yi Ba quickly shook his head.

The sound of the piano disappeared, and Master Bai's voice came out.

"It's not a good habit to speak ill of people behind their backs."

This Mr. Bai, is she just a follower of the wind? When I said that to Yi Ba, I said it so quietly that Bai Mengting, who was standing next to us, didn't even hear it. Master Bai actually heard it?

"I didn't say anything bad about you! Master Chuyi said you were a great beauty, but his wife was nearby and didn't dare to say it, so he whispered to me." Is Yi Ba trying to help me out, or is he? Are you trying to trick me?

Master Bai sat quietly in the pavilion, and Bai Mengting took us over.

"I heard that you have a question to ask me?" Master Bai asked directly to Yi Ba.

"This Sanheyuan was built for the Bai family?" Yi Ba asked.

"Sanheyuan has been standing here for two or three hundred years. How could there be a Bai family at that time?" Master Bai said.

"So, this situation was set up by later generations?" Yi Ba glanced at Master Bai and said, "Sanheyuan is not for people to live in, right?"
< br>"Since you have already seen it, why bother asking more?" Master Bai said.

"I have nothing more to ask. I don't have the ability to solve the situation in Sanheyuan, so I won't waste your time. If you want Bai Chuchu to survive, you'd better hire someone else!" Yi Ba said straightforwardly. said.

"I know you don't have the ability to take over, but you can find someone who is able to take over, can't you?" After working on it for a long time, this is what Master Bai actually meant!

“I can’t find it.” Yi Ba’s tone was absolute.

"Whether he comes or not is his business. Whether you say it or not, the responsibility lies with you."

Mr. Bai gently plucked the strings with her jade fingers. The tune that popped up was still that of "Mountains and Flowing Water".

"I played this song for him. If he doesn't come, just give him your thoughts."

"Why should I bring it?" Yi Ba asked.

"As I said just now, it's up to you whether to take it or not." After finishing speaking, Master Bai continued to play the guqin there.

The mountains are as tall as Mount Tai, and the oceans are like rivers. Although I am not good at music, I can still hear this feeling from the sound of Bai Fuzi's piano. However, Master Bai is not playing the piano for me.

Coming out of Sanheyuan, I asked Yi Ba.

“Who is that person that Master Bai is talking about?”

"Don't ask any more questions about this matter. Let me think about it." This was the first time he rejected me so bluntly since I met Yi Ba.

At noon the next day, I wanted to have a meal with Yi Ba.

As soon as I reached Anqingguan, I was dumbfounded. The door to Anqingguan is actually closed? According to Yi Ba's habit, he never closes the door! Now the door is closed and a big lock is hung. This is a bit too abnormal!

I asked Uncle Liu nearby, and he said that Yi Ba went on a far journey and didn’t know when he would be back.

Yi Ba's leaving without saying goodbye is definitely related to what Master Bai said last night. Could it be that Yi Ba has decided to invite that person as Master Bai said.

The person that Master Bai asked Yi Ba to invite was definitely much more capable than Yi Ba, and he should be very familiar with Yi Ba, otherwise he would not be able to invite him. According to my guess, that person is probably Yi Ba's master.

Judging from the song "Mountains and Flowing Water" last night, there should not be hatred between Master Bai and Master Yi Ba, but affection. But I can't tell what kind of feeling it is, whether it's friendship or love.

The roar of the motor came from behind me. I turned my head and saw that it was a BMW Z4 coming.

“Where is Yi Ba?” Bai Mengting stuck her head out and asked me.

“I don’t know, it’s said that he went on a far journey.” I said.

"I thought he wouldn't be able to do what Master Bai asked him to do!" After hearing what I said, Bai Mengting immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"How do I feel that from the first time you entered the gate of Xinsheng Pavilion, to this day, everything that has happened, every step I have taken, has been planned by others? "I asked.

“When you talk about others, do you mean Master Bai?” Bai Mengting asked me.

"On the surface, it is indeed her, but I'm not sure." I'm telling the truth.

"Anyway, I didn't plot against you. I just wanted to save Chu Chu. I didn't have any other ideas." Bai Mengting said this with some helplessness, as if what she did was done out of necessity.

I believe what Bai Mengting said. At the same time, I have a very strong feeling in my heart, that is, Master Bai, is he just a figure on the stage? Behind her, there are other experts.

In the afternoon, the familiar Prado drove to the door of Xinsheng Pavilion.

"Is something wrong?"

Seeing that Song Xi was the only one sitting in the Prado, I asked her this.

"Come with me!" Song Xi pointed to the co-pilot and said to me.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Can I still sell you? Get in the car quickly!" Song Xi urged me.

Although I don't know what Song Xi wants to do, I can be sure from the serious look on her face that she definitely has something important that she wants me to do with her.

I locked the door of Xinsheng Pavilion and got into Song Xi’s car.

“Are we going to Chongqing?” I asked.

"Yeah!" Song Xi nodded and responded.

"Can you tell me? Why are you taking me there? No matter what, you must at least make me feel prepared!" I said.

“I’m asking you to see a fortune teller.” Song Xi paused and said, “With your ability to read fortune tellers, you don’t need to prepare in advance, just perform on the spot.”

“ The Yin hexagram doesn’t look at women, and the Yang hexagram doesn’t look at men. Don’t you know my rules?” I said.

"What can you see today?" Song Xi asked me.

"Today is the Yin hexagram, and I can only see men." I said.

“It just happened to be a man.” Song Xi said.

“If you don’t tell me clearly before you pull me into the car, what if I divine the Yang hexagram?” I asked.

"It's Yang Gua, can't you see a woman? I am a woman! So as soon as I go, you will definitely be able to tell what's wrong with me? And when I asked you to get in the car "You obviously didn't dare to look, so you were a little confused." Song Xi said.

“You are really smart and witty!” I sincerely expressed my appreciation to Song Xi.

"Thank you for the compliment." Song Xi replied to me with these four words calmly.

The Prado drove into Yudu, but did not enter the city. Instead, it entered a village on the outskirts and stopped at the gate of a small farmhouse.

“I thought you would take me into the city to see the world of flowers? I spent a long time just to have fun at a farmhouse!” I said.

“The owner of this small courtyard does not run a farmhouse.” Song Xi said.

A white-haired old man walked out of the house.

Song Xi introduced to me that this was the one he wanted me to look at and just call him Professor Jiang.

Confucius said that if you are good, you will know the destiny at fifty. Professor Jiang's age, not to mention many, is definitely in his 70s or 80s. For people of his age, the overall situation of life has been decided. They have reached seventy and can do whatever they want. What else is there to see?

"The eyes are like black lacquer with golden yellow, and the upper and lower ripples are as long. When you enter the prime minister, you are an official and respectful, and the branches are the same as the scent of life." I recited these few sentences pretending to be profound, and then said: "Professor Jiang's heart is in the Imperial Academy and he is in the officialdom!"

Professor Jiang did not express his position, which probably means that what I just said did not impress him, let alone win his trust.

People in the officialdom must have retired from the officialdom after reaching this age. Because I have been in that circle for decades, the city is naturally very deep. It is extremely difficult to read a person's face accurately for such a person.

"Professor Jiang, what do you want to do?" Reading faces is very laborious, especially for such uncooperative people, it will be even more laborious. I won't do anything thankless.

“Aren’t you a stranger?”

Professor Jiang looked at me with that joking look, as if he was waiting to see my joke.

“I only like people who are sincere and I only like people who are destined to be together.” I said.

"Why do you stop dating after half the time? Is it because you are not capable enough, or do you have the habit of giving up halfway?" Professor Jiang asked me.

"The sentence I sent you before was a greeting gift to the old man. A person should be polite and reciprocal. I showed my sincerity, but what I received in return was malice. Naturally, there is no need to continue the relationship!" I replied coldly. "Just say a few words and call it sincerity. Which one of those bluffing and deceiving magicians doesn't speak better than you?" Professor Jiang actually compared me with the magicians?

There is no need to prove anything to someone who sincerely looks down on you and disrespects you. I turned around neatly, and under Professor Jiang's surprised eyes, I left the farmyard with my head held high.
