Chapter 217 Chapter 218 Came to Jiangjing, Ji Mulan received a call (second update
)
The national champion appeared in a small town outside Beicheng, and the Education Bureau of Beicheng received the news immediately.
Although the media dared not hype it too much, colleagues were quick to get the news, and congratulatory calls came one after another.
Not to mention Xiangcheng, even Beicheng has never had such a highlight moment. Among the four major cities, the education in Xicheng is much better than that in Beicheng. This time, Beicheng is superior to Jiangjing.
Director Li received a notice from the Jiangjing Education Bureau early this morning that education funding has soared.
Both the Beicheng Education Bureau and the Xiangcheng Education Bureau are going to be promoted, and Director Li will be transferred to Jiangjing soon.
This is the performance brought by the national champion.
Director Li immediately retrieved the news of the champion of the college entrance examination, but even as the director of the Education Bureau, he could not find any news about this Baisui classmate.
No matter how he checked her data, it was blank. He only knew that she graduated from Xiangcheng No. 1 Middle School. Her news was blocked, which was not surprising. The higher-ups always protected special talents very well. Therefore, Director Li felt that she was not simple.
Just when Director Li was about to go to Xiangcheng No. 1 Middle School to discuss this dark horse with the principal of Beicheng, he found out that she was originally from Beicheng.
Her father was in Beicheng.
Then he and the principal hurried over.
Director Li was polite, but Bai Qiming was confused. "...Bai Xi?"
Chief Bai was also surprised. He knew that Bai Xi was the daughter of Bai Qiming who was removed from the family tree.
Butler Bai had already made tea for Director Li and the principal.
"Yes, Bai Shi got the top score in the national exam this time, Jiangjing University attaches great importance to her," Director Li sat on the sofa, his arm still draped over his coat, and smiled to Bai Qiming, "I guess the people from Jiangjing Admissions Office will be here soon. Isn't Bai Shi going back to Beicheng?"
The college entrance examination results were released the day before yesterday, and Xiangcheng and major universities were spreading the news like wildfire. Director Li thought that the admissions office of Jiangjing University would go, and didn't know that the president went in person.
Bai Qiming has been planning many matters for Bai Shaoqi to go to Jiangjing University, and he has not been distracted.
He has always been behind in information in this regard, and he has not paid attention to other people. As long as Bai Shaoqi does well in the exam, it's fine. The Song family didn't contact him, and he always thought that Song Min was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, so he didn't pay much attention.
As for Bai Shi...
If someone hadn't mentioned her today, he would have forgotten that she was also taking the college entrance examination this year.
"You said she is the provincial champion?" Bai Qiming's hands involuntarily rested on the armrests, raised his head, and his dark pupils trembled violently, "My daughter Bai Shi?"
Next to him, the chief of the Bai clan also put down his teacup with a "pop" after hearing "provincial champion".
He looked up in shock.
Guo Yueqing, who was sitting next to Bai Qiming, was dignified and still had a gentle smile on her face.
But her slightly white fingers still betrayed her mood.
When Principal Beicheng heard that Xiangcheng No. 1 High School had a top-ranked student named Bai Shi, he knew he had lost the bet. "Boss Bai, Bai Shi is not the top-ranked student in the province, but the top-ranked student in the country."
"Top-ranked student in the country?" The always calm Bai clan leader suddenly stood up, shocked and speechless: "Are you sure it's Bai Shi, from our Bai family?"
This reaction...
Director Li was confused. He put down his teacup and felt that things were not what he imagined: "You... don't know yet?"
Bai Qiming sat on the sofa, shocked and distraught. Director Li felt something was wrong and stood up to say goodbye.
Principal Beicheng didn't know that Bai Shi had severed ties with the Bai family.
He came today for Bai Shi, after all, Bai Shi is a member of the Bai family. He didn't want to have a grudge with Bai Shi because of Bai Shaoke's matter. He felt something was wrong at this moment, and left with Director Li nervously .
After everyone left, the Bai family's living room was still quiet.
The always tactful Bai housekeeper also held the tray and stood there in a daze.
Upstairs, Bai Shaoqi changed his clothes and walked down the stairs, with a slightly surprised expression: "Dad, clan leader, what's wrong with you?"
This sentence was like a stone thrown into the calm water. The Bai clan leader covered his chest and looked at Bai Qiming, "Qiming, take me to Xiangcheng to find her. No matter what, we must let her return to our Bai family to recognize her ancestors!"
When Bai Shaoke was the top scholar in the province, the Bai family ignored the fact that he was an illegitimate child and only visited him three times.
Now that Bai Shi is the national champion, even the head of the Bai clan is willing to humble himself and go to Xiangcheng in person to invite Bai Shi back.
The Bai family has never had a national champion.
Of course, the Bai family only knows that Bai Shi is the national champion, but they don't know how important this is.
Even so, it is enough for them to rush to Xiangcheng overnight. As for tomorrow's celebration banquet?
How can they care about it now?
**
28th, early morning.
The airport is close to the vast grassland on the border.
The wheels of the plane rolled on the concrete ground, and the wings on both sides swept across the sides, and finally slowly stopped.
The airport staff put down the stairs in an orderly manner and waited for the people on it to come down.
Bai Shi stepped down on the carpet and raised her head slightly. This was her first time here.
At the bottom of the stairs, a person in ethnic costume saw the two people coming down, walked up and respectfully handed over a manual, "Master Jiang, this is the scenic spot arrangement we have planned for you."
Jiang Fuli held a document in his right hand. Hearing this, he changed the document to his other hand and took the manual.
"Take a look and tell me where to go first." He lowered his eyebrows lightly, glanced at it, and casually handed the manual to Bai Shi.
The person in ethnic style raised his head cautiously.
His eyes fell on the girl standing next to him. She was wearing a long skirt, and the hem of her skirt was slightly raised, reflecting the blue sky behind her. The sky-blue pattern on the hem of her skirt was just right, and it was extremely elaborate.
Bai Shi glanced at the manual, which had several routes planned on it.
Tomb of the Tibetan King...
Her bony fingers stopped at the last route, and she paused slightly: "Here."
Jiang Fuli handed the manual over, "Let's go here."
It was obvious that neither of them was serious about traveling.
After the two left, someone looked at the route that Bai Mi pointed out and asked in surprise, "Didn't we close this place and prohibit it from being shown to outside tourists?"
"Banned?" The middle-aged man in ethnic style looked up and said softly, "It depends on who you are talking to."
The young man scratched his head.
I don't understand.
The middle-aged man held the manual and made a phone call with his other hand. "It's their family. Our boss doesn't even know which way the door of his mansion faces."
**
It's not summer vacation yet.
Not many people come here to travel.
Bai Mi stood at the foot of a hill with a bottle of water.
The gravekeeper next to him introduced to Jiang Fuli, "Go up this mountain road and you will reach the Tomb of the Tibetan King."
"Do you still have a gravekeeper now?" Jiang Fuli looked towards the cemetery he was talking about.
The old man had a head full of white hair. "I should be the last generation."
He led the way and walked into a "no-passing" path. "We rarely let people in to disturb them now. Occasionally, reporters come to interview... Look, it's in front."
Bai Shi followed the old man and listened quietly.
She followed the old man's gaze and saw a very old cemetery.
The name of the cemetery was printed on the side of the gate.
"Princess Huai'an is not here?" Bai Shi looked at the name over and over again, tapping the mineral water bottle with his fingertips.
"Princess Huai'an?" The old man was stunned, then remembered this person, and casually pointed to the mountain next door, "She is not qualified to come here, she should be on that hill..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Shi walked towards that direction.
The old man was surprised. He was stunned for a moment and followed and talked to Jiang Fuli, "Master Jiang, that is not a scenic spot, and it has not been repaired. The road is not easy to walk..."
"It's okay," Jiang Fuli stopped halfway up the mountain. He looked down at the time on his watch and said calmly, "Let her go and have a look."
The old man didn't dare to say anything.
**
On the mountain.
The hill was built very casually.
Bai Xi read the words on it, and it took her a while to find the four words "Princess Huai'an" on the tombstone that had never been repaired.
She stood in front of the tomb, looked at the surrounding environment, and then sat on the ground casually.
Bai Xi, wearing a plain dress, reached out to wipe off the yellow mud on the tombstone, and then picked up her mobile phone to take a picture of the tombstone. After
she took the picture, her index finger just tapped the phone unconsciously.
As luck would have it, her phone rang. It was Lu Xiaohan.
"Sister Bai, are you out?" In the video, there was a crowd behind Lu Xiaohan, and she was holding a camera. "Is this... the prairie?"
"Yes," Bai Bai rested her elbows on her knees and said lazily, "Are you fleeing?"
"Hey, these college people are looking for you and the God of Learning, but I don't know why they are looking for me," Lu Xiaohan was helpless. She carried the camera, "When are you going to Jiangjing?"
Lu Xiaohan's grades were not good enough to go to Jiangjing University.
But Communication University was good enough.
She planned to go to Communication University first.
Hearing this, Bai Di raised his eyebrows, with the youthful vigor in his brows, "Today." "
In such a hurry?" Lu Xiaohan calculated the time, "Then I have to wait for two days. My parents will take me home to worship the ancestors. Oh, they will also visit grandpa. You should ask grandpa to pay attention. As far as I know, the uncle of the god of learning will also go to visit your grandpa. I won't talk about the other people in Class 15. They all know where your home is."
Ning Xiao and others know who got such achievements from.
Class 15 also knows.
Bai Di changed his hand to hold the phone: "...It's too exaggerated. Tell them not to go."
Lu Xiaohan looked at the camera dimly: "I haven't finished yet. The principal and others will also go to visit your grandpa, as well as people from the Xiangcheng Education Bureau."
Bai Di: "..."
She hung up the phone and silently said "sorry" to Ji Heng in her heart.
As soon as the call was hung up, Bai Shi saw the photo of the tombstone taken on her phone.
The tomb had not been repaired, it was old and dilapidated. She sighed and murmured, "No, Third Princess, how can I show it to my brother if you are like this?"
A few steps away.
Jiang Fuli did not come closer.
He stood by the path and answered the phone. A female voice came from the other end of the phone: "I heard that you are going back to Jiangjing?"
"Yes, I will be back in the evening." He stood in the sun, his profile was cold, he only looked in the direction of Bai Shi, his tone nonchalant.
Bai Shi was still sitting in front of the tombstone. She was wearing loose plain clothes, and the whole person looked extremely thin. In the light, the whole person was shrouded in a layer of light.
At this time, she was sitting there casually, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but she looked like a depressed cat who couldn't find the way.
"I thought you were going to stay in Xiangcheng for five or six years." The other side's tone was surprised.
"That was originally the plan," Jiang Fuli saw Bai Xi standing up, so he retracted his gaze and said slowly: "Aunt, if there is nothing else, I'll hang up."
**
Jiangjing.
Ji Shaojun's residence.
After a day of classes, he looked at the housekeeper, wanting to say something but stopping.
The housekeeper held a cane and raised his head, "If you have something to say, just say it directly."
"A Xi will arrive in Jiangjing this afternoon," Ji Shaojun paused slightly, "I want her to come here for dinner."
Bai Xi did very well in the college entrance examination. Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing were originally going to return to Xiangcheng, but they didn't expect Bai Xi to come directly to Jiangjing after the exam. The two didn't understand why, but they didn't run back and forth.
Shen Qing and Ji Shaojun wanted to cook for themselves, but since this was the residence arranged by the Mu family for Ji Shaojun, they had to ask the housekeeper.
Bai Xi?
The housekeeper was stunned, remembering that Ji Shaojun had returned to Xiangcheng for Bai Xi's college entrance examination some time ago: "She came to Jiangjing so early?"
"Yes, A Xi..." Shen Qing opened her mouth and was about to speak.
The housekeeper nodded and interrupted her, "Is it just her?"
"Not only that," Ji Shaojun thought for a while, "Xiao Jiang should come too."
The housekeeper stood up with his cane and nodded, "Even if you want to entertain her, don't forget to study."
**
The news of Bai Zhiyue's coming to Jiangjing was not told to others. She was afraid of receiving phone calls recently. Dean Jian and Academician Ma didn't know yet.
But Ji Heng had already notified Ji Shaojun and Xu En in advance. After all, he didn't catch up with Bai Zhiyue's visit to Jiangjing this time, and he was worried.
Xu's house.
Old lady Xu was preparing for the banquet for the guests. Although Xu Zhiyue didn't rank second in the country this time, he was third after all.
The location was set at the old house of the Xu family.
Old lady Xu still held the Buddhist beads in her left hand and talked to housekeeper Bai, "Has the news of Zhiyue's third place been passed on to the family?"
The Xu family is a big family with countless younger generations. How could they pay attention to the college entrance examination in one year?
If someone hadn't specifically passed the message, the Xu family would never have known the news.
"Don't worry," Butler Xu nodded, "It has been told to the clan members, and several people have explicitly said they want to come."
Old Mrs. Xu turned the dark Buddhist beads, and looked at Xu En again, with a smile on her face, "Bai Xi and the others have also arrived in Jiangjing, right? Invite them to come as well. You should also take a few days off, and don't be busy with business all day. Yueyue, this is also a big happy event for the Xu family."
"By the way," Old Mrs. Xu thought of Bai Xi, she looked at Xu En and Ji Mulan, "How did Bai Xi do in the exam this year? Does she have a chance to enter Jiangjing University?"
Ji Mulan's expression froze, she didn't know.
Xu En picked up the teacup, "She did very well."
Xu Zhiyue did very well in the exam, but Xu En didn't specifically mention Xu Zhiyue's grades when he called Ji Heng.
It would be too much of a show to tell Ji Heng that Xu Zhiyue ranked third in the country. Xu En only told Ji Heng that Xu Zhiyue did well in the exam
. Ji Heng also only said that Bai Zhiyue did very well in the exam.
Both of them were very polite and did not show off too much.
Ji Mulan stood up. No matter how well she did in the exam, it was still incomparable to Xu Zhiyue.
Ji Mulan prepared to go outside to get some fresh air.
As soon as she walked out the door, her cell phone rang. It was Beicheng's number. She paused and picked up the phone.
"Mulan," a slightly old voice came from the other end, "I am the patriarch of the Bai family, you should have seen me."
"Patriarch Bai?" Ji Mulan walked to a flower, she held the mobile phone in one hand and stroked her belly with the other hand, her eyes narrowed, and her tone was not very good, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The other end was not surprised by her attitude, and her tone was slightly flattering, "Mulan, it's like this, do you know where Ah Xu lives? We have arrived in Xiangcheng, but her phone is unreachable and we can't find her. After all, she has the blood of our Bai family in her body. I hope you can tell her that as long as she is willing to return to the Bai family, the ancestral hall will open the middle door to welcome her. No matter what she asks, our Bai family will agree."
When I was sleeping, I dreamed that my former physics teacher kept talking to me about superstring theory. I woke up in shock and got up to type... See you tomorrow.
