Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Today is the full moon ceremony of the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Yongning.

Good relatives and friends have arrived, and the Bai family has arrived early in the morning.

Bai Shi, who was out of confinement, finally appeared in front of people for the first time, although he still looked a little haggard, but he was in good spirits.

When Lin Xi and the other children of the Xiao family went to Zizhu Courtyard to congratulate accompanied by Xiao Yuheng, the uncle and wife of the Bai family sat beside the Bai family, looking at the child in Bai's arms affectionately, while Mrs. Yongning Hou sat opposite, talking affectionately with the other noblewomen of the Bai family.

"My brother said hello to my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Lin Xi and Xiao Yuqi, Xiao Yusheng and the little children of the third master's family stood together to congratulate.

Bai smiled reservedly, handed over the child to his sister-in-law, and got up to return the salute.

"The younger brothers have a heart, and I will start first, and I will wait for the good things of the younger brothers when I go back." Xiao Yuheng was full of smiles, the leader of the third generation of the Hou Mansion was extremely happy today.

Xiao Yuqi said with a smile: "Big brother, wait, at the end of the year, my younger brother will have to marry, everything else is easy to say, and the etiquette can't be light." ”

Xiao Yuqi is seventeen this year, and after Xiao Yuheng married the Bai family, he began to look for relatives. However, he is neither a concubine, nor a serious errand, he was born in the country to study, so far he is just a showman, he has not won the exam a few times, and he is just an ordinary person who is willing to exchange Geng posts. Mrs. Hou told Yongning Hou a few, but they were all withdrawn by Mei.

Either the girl's family background is not rich enough, the dowry is not abundant, or she thinks that the girl is from a concubine and is not popular enough. There is a wealthy family, that is, the business of Xiao Yuqi has been slow to study, and he will be a joke for his colleagues in the future.

Mrs. Hou was so angry that she simply stroked her hand and stopped meddling in the matter.

Xiao Yuqi's marriage has been delayed until now, and I heard that it has been decided now. But it was Mrs. Tai who came out of the horse, and it was the granddaughter of the handkerchief in the boudoir.

The girl's surname is Jiang, and she is also a young lady from a large family, and her father is now the prefect of Taihang Mansion in Shanxi, and she is the descendant of the Jiang family in Yuyang, so it is not Xiao Yuqi's turn to be such a person.

However, Miss Jiang has no mother since she was a child, and after Lord Jiang remarried, she had younger siblings, and it is estimated that the new Mrs. Jiang is not a good match, otherwise how could Miss Jiang live alone with her grandmother in the capital?

Now that Mrs. Jiang is old, she has handed over her handkerchief.

Originally, such a girl, Mrs. Tai wanted to tell Lin Xi, but Lin Xi was in filial piety, and it would take at least three years to get married, but Mrs. Jiang's body couldn't wait.

Yes, as soon as Mrs. Tai told Yongning Hou, she decided on Xiao Yuqi.

Mei Shi is naturally unwilling, she has already inquired, Miss Jiang has a bad relationship with her father and stepmother, and there is no one in her mother's family for a long time, so she can rely on Mrs. Jiang to be stable so far, just such an orphan girl, what can she bring to Xiao Yuqi in the future? Even if it is a dowry, it is estimated that it is not very rich.

However, no matter how much trouble she makes, it will be useless, she can make Yongning Hou push it if the Liu family chooses someone, but Mrs. Tai doesn't take her seriously at all, she takes Xiao Yuqi's Geng post and directly exchanges Miss Jiang's, and on the second day, she will let Yongning Hou come to the door to propose marriage, and welcome the newcomer into the door at the end of the year.

The matter is so decided, but Xiao Yuqi is not dissatisfied.

Lin Xi guessed that this cousin was also tired of watching it, and it was naturally good to settle down.

Xiao Yuheng naturally smiled and said, "This is certain." ”

Bai also said, "My sister-in-law is looking forward to having a sister to talk to." ”

Seeing Lin Xi here, the uncle and sister-in-law saluted each other, and when Lin Xi looked down, he heard the Bai family whisper: "My cousin's kindness, my sister-in-law will remember it all her life." ”

Lying in bed and powerless, the fear and fear that could only wait for death Bai will never forget for the rest of his life. Her husband was crying outside, but her mother-in-law stopped her but didn't let her see her for the last time, at that time she not only hated Liu but also hated Xiao Yuheng. From hope to unwillingness, and then slowly to despair, and gradually a voice around her left her, she thought that her life was like a mirror and a moon was about to pass, and her child was about to lose her mother.

If it weren't for Lin Xi, how could there be this day of gathering together.

Lin Xi was slightly relieved in his heart, as long as he didn't have a mustard in his heart, it didn't matter if he didn't remember it.

On the second day of that day, Mrs. Tai scolded him fiercely, and repeatedly warned him to use his brain before doing things, so that he didn't dare to come to Zizhu Courtyard to take a look, and he didn't even dare to send follow-up medicine.

"Yo, what a chic little golden pig."

Yuan Yuan gave Lin Xi a congratulatory gift, a golden lock, but it looked like a little golden pig painted by himself.

Mrs. Bai held it in her hand and couldn't put it down, "This style is rare." "The attitude towards Lin Xi is extremely kind," Young Master Lin has a heart. ”

She was deeply impressed by Lin Xi, and her sister-in-law was able to survive thanks to this, although it was shocking, but she was still extremely grateful in her heart.

Especially the old lady in the family, before she came, she wanted to thank Lin Xi a lot.

Lin Xi smiled silently.

At this time, several young ladies also came over, Xiao Jinxin and Xiao Jinlan were all dressed up, slim and slim, and Ying Ying was happy with Xiao Yuheng and Bai's Daoxi.

A few girls didn't have to shy away from anything, and they all walked into the Bai family to watch the children.

The house was full of children and dependents, Lin Xi and they didn't have a good time, so Xiao Yuheng took them all to the courtyard, where he met the two young men of the Bai family, and when he saw Xiao Yuheng coming, he kowtowed.

"Uncle."

One in blue and one in white, both of them are scholar's robes, and they still look the same.

"Shujin, Shuyan, but have you seen the old lady?"

The young man in blue said, "I just came from the old lady, and she said that she wouldn't let us stay longer, and she came out to see my uncle and say hello." ”

Xiao Yuheng laughed, then pointed at Xiao Yuqi and them, and said to the two brothers of the Bai family: "You all know my brothers, so I won't introduce them much." "The two families have been moving around since they got married, and Xiao Yuqi and the Bai brothers are no strangers, and they are quite familiar with each other's smiles.

After that, Xiao Yuheng pointed at Lin Xi again, and his smile was more kind, "You don't recognize this ......"

"Uncle Lin, I know." The young man in blue immediately said, and walked in to look at Lin Xi, "I heard from my mother that you saved your aunt and the prince of Rui, you are so powerful, you look younger than me." ”

"Shuyan, don't be so rude." The young man in white walked over, said a word to the young man in blue, and then kowtowed to Lin Xi and said, "Uncle Lin, forgive me, Shuyan has always been straightforward, don't be surprised." ”

Lin Xi hadn't figured out the relationship between the generations, and when he heard this, he immediately replied: "Don't dare." ”

The blue-clothed young man snorted, "It's old-fashioned, it's boring." ”

"Shuyan!"

"Okay, you're just one step ahead of me, don't always care about everything, I feel a few years older."

Lin Xi clearly saw that Bai Shujin's forehead was bruised, and he endured it silently, it was not easy to have such a jumping younger brother.

Xiao Yuheng said to Lin Xi: "Xi'er, you don't need to say more for your brother, this is the second child of the Bai family, Bai Shuyan; The one who is cautious in his words and deeds is the boss of the Bai family, Bai Shu is cautious, and it is easy to distinguish very well. ”

Shuyan was curious about Lin Xi, and asked again: "Uncle Lin Family, I heard that you are coming to the academy soon, do you want to be an official in the future?" Your medical skills are so good, why don't you continue to practice medicine? What does it mean to be an official. ”

That's too straightforward, isn't it? Lin Xi twitched the corners of his mouth almost invisibly.

Shujin almost wanted to close his brother's mouth, and asked such an embarrassing question as soon as they met.

Xiao Yuheng was about to play a round when he heard Lin Xi ask, "Do you read books?" ”

"Naturally, I read it."

"Do you want to be an official in the future?"

Bai Shuyan was stunned for a moment, and then heard Lin Xi ask again: "Then why are you studying?" ”

But there is no one in the Bai family who doesn't study!

As soon as the Bai brothers turned three years old, Master Bai began to enlighten, and until now, the brothers have been smart, and they have successfully passed the Xiucai examination all the way. This year's Spring Festival could have ended, but Master Bai considered that his sons were still young and did not need to be in a hurry, so he did not participate in the event. But in this way, it seems that it will also go to officialdom in the future.

It's a path that has been cleared of obstacles, just go ahead and don't need to ask why.

"Has anyone ever asked Shuyan why he became an official? Is it for the country? Or for the people? Is it for the eternal fame, or for the glory of the ancestors? ”

Bai Shu replied: "I am here to benefit the people. ”

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Then so should I." ”

The Bai family brothers all smiled, because listening to Lin Xi's tone, they knew that this was just a perfunctory sentence, and they actually had an answer to what it was really for.

But what about yourself? Is it like Lin Xi?

Bai Shuyan arched his hand to Lin Xi and said, "Uncle Lin, I am biased, please forgive Shuyan's unscrupulous words." ”

"I don't take it personally." Lin Xi looked at Xiao Yuheng, winked at Bai Shuyan again, and joked, "I'm still younger than you, don't call me old, call me Lin Xi in private?" ”

Bai Shuyan showed a big smile on his face when he heard this, "It's good, in the future, you and I will study together in the academy, so it's better." ”

It's a group of teenagers, and they quickly blend in.

Xiao Yuheng saw that the Bai family brothers were friendly with Lin Xi, and he was also relieved, and Lin Xi didn't have to worry about going to the Bai Family Academy in the future.

Soon after, the housekeeper came to report: "Young Master, the guests are almost here, the master asked the young master to hurry over to entertain, and asked the young grandmother if she is ready here?" ”

Xiao Yuheng said: "It's all right, let's go to the front." ”

The Yongning Marquis Mansion is thriving, and the full moon ceremony of the eldest grandson is for the relatives and friends of both men and women, and there are more than 100 tables, occupying a full front yard, and some subordinates only give gifts but do not have seats.

Yongning Hou and Xiao Siye were busy entertaining Shangfeng and his colleagues, as well as some of the Hou Mansion, the Guogong Mansion, and the General's Mansion, which were also old families.

The younger generation was entertained by Xiao Yuheng with his younger brothers, and it was not lively to go in and out.

At this time, it can be seen how extensive the connections of an old family are, and how many people have risen and fallen.

Lin Xi followed Xiao Yuheng, but he saw a lot of young talents, including many colleagues from the Hanlin Academy, who seemed to be classmates, of course, such as the Bai family brothers, and there were many official families.

These people sit together and talk about the most important things in the DPRK and China, such as the Hunu issue, which has been disputed recently.

However, they are not like the scholars in the restaurant who are waiting for the price to sell, they are more familiar with the news and are more well-informed.

The eldest grandson of one of the pavilion elders said: "It's almost time, the emperor is running out of patience. ”

"Fighting back and forth, it's just for profit, the emperor has already judged in his heart, don't those two squeak on this issue?" Someone drew a fictional Shu character and Liang character.

So they all smiled tacitly, and someone said to Xiao Yuheng, "Speaking of which, I really want to ...... I guess it's the same one. ”

Xiao Yuheng smiled, "It's not easy to judge, it's still in filial piety." ”

Lin Xi moved when he heard this, this should be Zhao Jingyi.

"Lin Xi, you said that someone from King Rui's Mansion would come today?" Shuyan, who was sitting next to Lin Xi, asked quietly.

Lin Xi shook his head, "I don't know." ”

Zhao Jingyi has always acted decisively, but it seems a little strange lately, and it is not easy to guess.

"Have you ever seen him?" Shuyan asked, but he felt that he was asking ridiculously, "Of course you have seen him, how is it, is it very majestic?" ”

Lin Xi nodded seriously.

As soon as he saw him majestically, he had to think about whether he was going to be tossed with half his life again.

At this time, the waiter ran in panting, "Young Master, Lord Rui is here." ”

The people in the room looked at each other a few times before standing up.

Really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, Lin Xi trembled his eyelids, saw the enthusiastic Shuyan and the Shujin who hid his expectations, and prayed silently, this time it shouldn't be to come to him.
