Chapter 52 This lady looks like a person
"It was me who harmed my elder brother!" After leaving the main courtyard, Li Suining couldn't help but blame himself.
"How could that be?" Bai Shian touched his sister's head. "Sister, be good and don't overthink it. This is not your fault. Even if there is a fault, we all made mistakes."
You Zhu curled his lips in disapproval, but he didn't do anything.
"We are not wrong." Bai Ruian said firmly, "Those who bully us are wrong!"
"Yes!" Bai Shian nodded in agreement.
"Then..." Li Suining asked cautiously, "Should I ask Xingxing if we can see Mr. Jiang tomorrow?"
The fourth and fifth brothers looked at each other.
Bai Shian and You Zhu found out Jiang Heci's address today, but they also heard a rumor that Jiang Heci had already closed his door to visitors and would not see anyone unless they were invited by him.
"Forget it." Bai Shi'an and Bai Ruian said almost in unison.
Bai Shian was afraid that the little girl would think too much, so he immediately explained, "Sister, we don't dislike you and Xingxing, we are just afraid..."
"We are afraid that after seeing the result, we will not dare to go." Bai Ruian continued.
"I understand." Li Suining smiled sweetly. "Actually... this time, I don't want to know the result in advance. I believe we will definitely see that old man tomorrow."
In an instant, she suddenly thought of the old man with white beard. If that old man was Mr. Jiang, then Mr. Jiang would definitely be willing to see her.
——
The next morning, the little ones had breakfast and hurried out.
The New Year has just passed, and the festive atmosphere is still strong outside. There are lights and decorations everywhere, and everyone’s face is full of smiles.
The driver stopped the car in front of Jiang's house and everyone got off the car one by one.
Bai Shian walked up and knocked on the door.
Soon, a servant opened the door and saw a group of half-grown children, including a little kid, standing outside. He frowned in confusion and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"We want to see Mr. Jiang!" Bai Shi'an said respectfully.
"To see Mr. Jiang?" The servant's brows furrowed even deeper. "What do you want? Where is your master?"
Bai Shian continued respectfully, "We have a few toasts and would like to show them to Mr. Jiang."
"Fourth brother!" Bai Ruian felt something was wrong, but it was too late.
Sure enough, the servant chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go, everyone, go back. Master Jiang is very busy and has no time to play with you. You can show your lyrics to the teacher at the academy, or send them to the Imperial College to try your luck."
Having said that, the man closed the door.
Bai Shian scratched his head helplessly, "What can I do? Not to mention meeting Elder Jiang, he won't even notify me."
The group of little guys were in trouble again and sat down on the stone steps together.
"How about I go and put it secretly on the old man's desk?" You Zhu said tentatively.
"No." Bai Ruian shook his head. "That's too rude. Mr. Jiang wouldn't like it even if he saw it."
"It's all my fault for what I said just now." Bai Shi'an couldn't help but blame himself, but he was a very honest person and said what he thought.
Li Suining asked in a baby voice, "Can't we just say someone from the General's Mansion wants to see us?"
Everyone looked at Bai Ruian.
Bai Ruian sighed, "It's difficult. Although Mr. Jiang doesn't have the same problems with our General's Mansion as the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mr. Jiang really doesn't have much contact with our General's Mansion."
"But..." Li Suining said seriously, "Dad is a good man and a good official. Don't you think that Mr. Jiang is also a good man?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up at the same time.
"What my sister said makes sense," Bai Ruian stood up first, "Let's give it a try. This is our only hope."
"Well, let's give it a try!" Bai Shi'an and You Zhu also stood up.
Bai Shian went forward and knocked on the door again. The same servant opened the door. He immediately said respectfully, "Young man, please tell them that someone from the General's Mansion wants to see you. We really have something very important to discuss with Mr. Jiang."
"Are you children from the General's Mansion?" The servant's expression became more serious. "Okay, wait a moment!"
The servant turned and ran away.
Bai Shian turned around and looked at Li Suining with praise, "Sister, your method worked!"
Several people stood in a row, quietly waiting for the servant to come back, depending on whether Mr. Jiang was willing to see them.
As time passed, they all became a little nervous.
Finally, the door opened again, and the servant said with a smile, "Young masters and young ladies, please come in. Mr. Jiang invites you."
"That's great!" Bai Shian and others couldn't help but cheer.
"Thanks to my sister," Bai Ruian was the first to say, "Can you buy some candied haws for me on the way back?"
"Okay, thank you, Fifth Brother!" Li Suining licked his lips greedily.
"Little greedy cat!" You Zhu couldn't help but pinch the little dumpling's little fat.
The group happily followed the servant into the Jiang residence. The house was not big, but it was elegant and exquisite everywhere. It could be seen that it was an old house with a history of a hundred years.
The servant seemed to be in a good mood and looked back at Li Suining from time to time.
Bai Shian noticed it and asked with a smile, "Brother, do you know my sister?"
"I don't know her." The servant replied respectfully, lowering his voice, "I just think... this lady looks like someone."
"Who does he look like?" Bai Ruian looked curious.
Li Suining also looked over curiously. She remembered that the old man also said that she looked like an old friend.
However, the servant shook his head, looking very secretive, "Nothing, nothing."
Obviously he doesn't want to say more, or it's inconvenient to say more.
Li Suining thought about it and asked curiously, "Little brother, do you know an old man with a white beard?"
"Hahaha..." The servant couldn't help laughing. Of course he knew him. Isn't his master the old man with white beard?
Soon, he led everyone into a room and said, "Young men and women, please wait here. Mr. Jiang will come over when he is done."
After the servant left, a maid soon brought in fruits and snacks, which were obviously very rich.
Li Suining and others ate while waiting.
However, half an hour later, the servant came back in a hurry.
"Gentlemen and ladies, please go back first. Mr. Jiang cannot see you today."
"Why?" Bai Shian was a little anxious, "We won't delay Mrs. Jiang for too long."
"It's really inconvenient. You guys should go back first and come back another day." The servant said as he was about to see the guests off and motioned them to leave.
Li Suining took the toasts from Bai Ruian and ran over to hand them to the servant. "Little brother, don't you think I look like an old friend? Then can you help me give these to Mr. Jiang?"
The servant hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, Miss, I will definitely give it to Mr. Jiang, but... I can't guarantee whether he will read it."
"Thank you, little brother!" Several people were happy again.
When the group left Jiang's house and saw the carriage at the door, their expressions changed.
Li Suining muttered to himself in frustration, "So, Mr. Jiang wants to meet the young master from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he won't meet us?"
