When Bai Shinian arrived at the Hou Mansion, his servants respectfully went to deliver the message. The Sixth Young Master is the pride of Shenjian Hou Mansion. Speaking of their sixth young master, no one knows.
When Marquis Shenjian saw Bai Shinian, his eyes were full of joy, "Shi Nian, you are here."
Bai Shinian¡¯s appearance is 80% like his mother and 20% like his father. Wen Wan had met Marquis Shenjian before, and because the two were not similar, she never doubted that the wretched boy was Bai Shinian.
Bai Shinian told his father about the post Luo Liu sent him. Marquis Shenjian also frowned: "Shi Nian, it's all my father's fault. I originally thought that if we could follow King Zhao, we, Marquis Shenjian, could also succeed to one more generation. King Zhao's situation was very good at the beginning. Who knew that we would end up where we are now? At this point. "It would be false to say that I regret being on the wrong team. I just regret that I was on the wrong team. The Shenjian Marquis has been hereditary for ten generations, and Brother Bai Shinian is the last generation. If you stand on the right side, King Zhao will definitely favor you and give you one more generation in the future.
Bai Shinian disagrees with his father's decision and believes that it is up to a man to make a successful career on his own. The inheritance of the family should also rely on the performance of descendants. If he doesn't express his disapproval, he will object. Things are already like this, and it is useless to say more: "Dad, I know you are thinking about the Bai family. It is useless to talk about the past. I am going to make a statement in two days and ask the emperor for permission to transfer me to the border. Going to the border is far away from the imperial city, so I can avoid some troubles. If there is any chance that I am at the border, the new emperor will be especially kind to the Bai family for my sake. If I stay in the capital again, he will definitely do so. Get involved in right and wrong, and you won¡¯t be able to get out at that time.¡±
For the sake of the future of the Bai family, not to mention taking sides, he will not be associated with the same lineage as King Zhao. Although no one can be sure of the outcome. King Zhao may be able to succeed. But staying away from this vortex of right and wrong is the safest thing. If you want to get away, there is only one way to go, go to the border. Only after going to the border pass did he make further military exploits. Even if King Zheng takes the throne in the future, for his sake, the punishment from the Bai family will not be too severe. What's more, he might be able to become a marquis in the future.
Marquis Shenjian¡¯s thoughts on Bai Shinian. From the long-term perspective of the family, I strongly agree. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to King Zhao. King Zheng's power was at its peak. The Bai family had been enemies of King Zheng for a long time. If King Zheng really ascends the throne as emperor, the Bai family must be among the purges.
????????????????????????????The Bai family will have to rely on Shi Nian to support it. Fortunately, his son is also a successful man. The olive branch thrown by Prince Zhao before was not picked up and he did not get involved with them. This is fine no matter what happens in the future. Every Bai family has a way out.
Marquis Shenjian thought about the bitter cold at the border and didn't know what it would be like to come back. "In the next century, the border is no better than the Jiangnan coastal area. The conditions there are difficult, and the Manchus are also extremely fierce. They kill without batting an eye. Before you go, first Get married and go!"
Bai Shinian listened. He pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. Men who go on an expedition usually marry a wife and leave children before leaving, in order to preserve their own flesh and blood.
Marquis Shenjian looked at his son with pride and guilt in his eyes. Because of my own mistakes. Now he has to hand over the important responsibility of the family's future to his son, "Go and see your grandmother! Your grandmother has been angry for several days because you moved out. These days, she is choosing a suitable woman for you every day."
Bai Shinian said, "Dad, you are being watched. The person you choose should not have anything to do with King Zhao. Do not choose a girl from a noble family. It is best to be from a family with a shallower foundation." Let grandma pass it by first, and then go there by yourself. Ask around.
Marquis Shenjian was very satisfied with his son's proposal: "Don't worry. Dad will watch it for you."
Bai Shinian went to the main hall and saw Mrs. Bai. The madam is already over sixty. Wearing an azure-colored trousers with golden melon and butterfly pattern. Dark red heddle skirt. Her hair was tied into a bun with silver threads, and she wore two cat-eye beeswax beaded flowers on her temples. Slightly plump body. He has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, his face has wrinkles early on, and his eyes look very, very gentle. When I see people coming in, I can't hide the love in my eyes.
Bai Shinian bowed his head and said, "Greetings to my grandmother."
Bai Shinian saw that his sisters-in-law were all in the house, and he greeted them all one by one. Several women returned the gift.
Bai Shihua, the Crown Prince of Shenjian Hou, is Bai Shinian's biological eldest brother. He is married to the Ping clan. Qing He, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Ping, is also Wen Wan's eldest cousin.
The second child died young. The third, fourth and fifth were all concubines. The third, Bai Shijie, was married to the Xi family; the fourth, Bai Shichao, was married to the Liu family; and the fifth, Bai Shiqing, was married to the Zhao family. Bai Shinian ranked sixth. There is also a concubine named Bai Shina, who is married to the Bao family.
Speaking of which, Marquis Shenjian had a deep relationship with his late wife. Mrs. Shenjianhou passed away when Bai Shinian was eight years old. But he always insisted not to marry again. The Madam forced her several times, but Marquis Shenjian refused to give in. Having said that, since I have two legitimate sons and six bastard sons, I don¡¯t have to worry about the issue of incense. This matter was hotly discussed in the capital at that time. The madam had no choice but to host the reception by herself. Until Qinghe came through the door and handed all the middle feed to Qinghe.
?Because of this, Bai Shinian respected his father very much. In a meritorious family, after the death of the first wife, as long as he is not 80 years old, the only one who will not marry a stepwife is his father. But because of Shenjian Hou's persistence, there was no scene of brotherly quarrel or legitimate son fighting with his stepmother. The reason is very simple. Bai Shihua's position as the heir apparent has long been determined, and Bai Shinian is promising. Even if those people want to take action, they still have to weigh the weight and consider whether they can benefit from it. If the prince dies, they will not be the ones to succeed him.
In the Bai family, all the sons of Marquis Shenjian, except Bai Shinian, married wives and had children. A family, lively and lively. This time I heard that my uncle would come to the Madam's place, so everyone came together. If nothing else, it would be a great thing if he could tell his brother-in-law (brother-in-law) about the girl he is related to.
Bai Shinian grew up in the Hou Mansion, so he doesn¡¯t understand the twists and turns in these women¡¯s bellies. He just ignored it.
The madam hurriedly called for a stool and asked Bai Shinian to sit down: "Shinian, the only thing that grandma has been worrying about these years is your marriage. What kind of woman do you prefer? Grandma will also do what you say. try to find."
If it¡¯s another grandson, she doesn¡¯t care what woman you prefer. As long as she likes it, it's her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. But Bai Shinian was special. Other men had started a family and started a business, but he had started a business but had not yet started a family. I can already stand alone. She wanted to go directly past him, but the madam was not that confused yet.
Bai Shinian saw the little fox's face flashing before his eyes, and his heart moved. It's time to go and see if the little fox is actually the gentle princess. : "A woman who doesn't care much about her grandson, as long as she's cool and sharp and strong-tempered, don't be coquettish and hide away when she sees her grandson. That's not just living a good life, but looking for bad luck." From the outside, this really isn't a problem. But in reality, there were a few noble ladies who were not afraid or flinched when they saw this man who was full of murderous intent and looked like the King of Hell.
Bai Shinian was thinking, what if Wen Wan was a little fox? If not, how could Wu imagine it that way? Thinking about it gave him a headache.
The wife thought for a while and said, "Okay, grandma will choose carefully for you."
Bai Shinian came to his senses, said a few words to the wife, and then left. After leaving the main hall, he saw Bai Shihua walking towards him: "Sixth brother, eldest brother has been waiting for you for a long time."
Bai Shinian looked annoyed when he saw his elder brother. People under thirty have pale complexions, blue eyes, and weak feet. At first glance, it seems that he is addicted to women. He has more than a dozen concubines, and he often follows some dandy boys to the Huaihe River.
Bai Shinian is upset because Bai Shihua is his biological eldest brother. He didn't bother to pay attention to the others. Although he was angry with his eldest brother, he still respected him very much. "Brother, what do you want from me?"
Bai Shihua smiled and said, "The sixth master of the Luo family invited me to have a drink, and I want you to go with him. It would be good to get acquainted with the dignitaries in the capital earlier."
When Bai Shinian heard about the sixth master of the Luo family, his face dropped. He is most jealous of the Luo family now. The Luo family's reputation outside the country couldn't be worse. He didn't want to get involved with the Luo family, let alone marry any of their daughters or granddaughters. He would never marry a commoner as his wife, and he would never marry a girl from the Luo family: "Brother, I still have a lot of things to deal with. I won't go to this kind of entertainment. When you are free, come to my mansion. , we brothers, let¡¯s have a good talk.¡±
Seeing his refusal, Bai Shihua was a little disappointed, but he still wanted to fight for it: "Sixth brother, you have been away from the capital for many years, so you should interact with the leading figures in the capital. It will be good for your future career."
Bai Shinian¡¯s eyebrows twitched after hearing this, and Bai Shihua took a step back in fright. Bai Shinian was very depressed and could only say calmly, "Brother, I have too many things to do. I'll do more when I have time in the future!"
Bai Shihua said sarcastically, he really meant well. But when he saw the sixth brother refused, he didn't care. But looking at Bai Shinian's tired expression, he said with a little worry, "Sixth brother, don't work too hard. Take care of yourself. I heard from the imperial doctor that if the injury you suffered there is not Take good care of yourself and the root of the disease will be left. Listen to the doctor and take good care of yourself to avoid the root of the disease."
No matter how many opinions Bai Shinian had about his eldest brother, he was moved after hearing these words. After all, he is a brother from the same mother: "Brother, don't worry, I will do it. Don't always go with those people outside. It's important to socialize, but drinking too much can be harmful to your health. On weekdays, take care of things at home and take care of things for your father. There's chaos outside, so don't hang out with those unnecessary people. The Sixth Master of the Luo Family. He has a very bad reputation in the capital."
Bai Shihua responded angrily: "Yes, yes."
Bai Shinian knew as soon as he looked at him that he was perfunctory. There was nothing I could do. The reminder is enough. If I say more, it means that his younger brother is arrogant and has no elder brother. Forget it, he is the big brother anyway.?If you are not a troublemaker, you will be fine if you can keep it.
