Chapter 16 Chinese New Year

When he woke up in the afternoon, Wei listened to Mama Zhao talk about the movement of Fanghuayuan.

Mama Zhao said that after Wei left with Bailian in the morning, Aunt Liu took Baihe Bairong to Fanghuayuan, Wei's was not there, and the people were not easy to stop, after all, she was the biological mother of the twins, and she didn't have to worry that Aunt Liu would be bad for the twins.

Just before Wei and Bai Mingwen came back, Aunt Liu sent the twins back, and then someone saw Aunt Liu hurriedly go to the Dafang Xu.

It was about Bai Mingxin who had just come back, and the Xu family didn't have time to see her, so Aunt Liu went back to Fanghuayuan, and just before Wei's woke up, Dafang sent someone to Fanghuayuan to call Aunt Liu over.

Mama Zhao said Aunt Liu's whereabouts, and couldn't help but snort coldly:

"I don't know what the hell is going to happen again, every time I go there, nothing good happens."

Wei didn't speak, thinking of the scene in the morning, as well as Bai Rong's various abnormal performances, plus Aunt Liu sent the twins back and went straight to the big house, didn't Bai Rong say something?

Then Wei thought again, a female doll, no matter how early she is, is limited, and she is really a little suspicious.

He only told Mama Zhao to continue to pay attention to Aunt Liu's movements, and she didn't take it to heart.

This year, because the old lady Bai is at home, it is particularly lively. In the capital, the second-rank officials of the household department are already regarded as important ministers of the imperial court, let alone a place like Yongzhou.

There was an endless stream of people visiting a year ago, and many of them were going for Bai Mingxin.

Bai Lian was very curious about the fact that Old Lady Bai had been an official in Beijing for so many years, but Old Lady Bai did not follow, including the children and grandchildren of the family who also stayed in Yongzhou.

Because of curiosity, Bai Lian asked about Wei, Wei knew some old things about the second elder of the Bai family, but Bai Lian was a junior, and she was so young, so she fooled her and said:

"The decision of the elders, how can my mother know, I think it is because the foundation of the Bai family is in Yongzhou, and the old lady is not worried about outsiders taking care of it."

After that, Bai Lian didn't ask much, in a blink of an eye it was Chinese New Year's Eve, when the ancestral hall was opened to worship the ancestors, Old Mrs. Bai inevitably looked a little depressed, and the Bai family Xifu looked at it one by one, comparing to their own side, always a diaphragm.

When the New Year's Eve was kept, the East Mansion and the West Mansion were all gathered together, and the second old lady of the West Mansion was a concubine, and he had been following the old lady Bai since he was a child.

Although there are no outstanding children and nephews like Bai Mingxin in Xifu, there are also outstanding children, such as Bai Minghai, the third child, although he did not take the imperial examination route, but since he inherited the family business, he has taken care of the Xifu side in an orderly manner, and the Dongfu side can be said to be on a par with the Dongfu side, you know, if it is not for the Dongfu side There are still some ancestral industries that cannot be separated, but I am afraid that the family business will be liquidated, and it is not as good as the Xifu side.

There is also the seventh Bai Mingshu, who is the same age as the sixth Bai Minglin, and is also the same year, but Bai Mingshu is the head of the case in Yongzhou, although Bai Minglin's ranking is not bad, but under the comparison of Bai Mingshu's case, it is much overshadowed.

Because in this matter, Mrs. Bai did not scold Bai Minghao's brothers for not being angry.

The imperial examination can't be compared, and even the birth of a son is suppressed by the Xifu side.

However, at this time, the old lady Bai was probably the only one who was unhappy, and looking at the old lady Bai listening to the compliments of her children and grandchildren, she could smile a flower on her face.

According to the eldest and youngest, they gave the two old ladies a New Year's greeting, and after receiving the red envelopes, the old lady Bai did not detain them anymore and let them go to the yard to play.

Bai Lian sat at the table and watched the children gathered in the yard to light fireworks, most of them were from Xifu, after all, they were boys, and it was normal to be more active, even the six girls Bai Shuang, the seventh girl Bai Ning, and the white lotus in the twins were all gathered around to watch the excitement.

Seeing Bai Lotus, Bai Lian couldn't help but think of Bai Rong sitting beside her. I think she, like herself, is not interested in having fun with these children, although the two of them are not as big as the people in the yard, but the ghost in it is not small, and these children's things can no longer arouse their interest.

The concubines of the Wei family and the Bai family served around the two old ladies, and Bai Lian sat at the table, stretching out her hand to peel the oranges, and listened to the movements of the old lady Bai's table by the way.

Bai Lian didn't pay much attention to the old lady Bai when he told others, but when she heard the old lady Bai talk about Bai Mingxin, Bai Lian couldn't help but pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

I only heard the old lady Bai say:

"You have been excellent in the past three years, I thought that when my term of office expires next year, I can be promoted to Beijing, but now I can't, it is because my father has burdened you."

Bai Mingxin hurriedly said:

"Father's words are serious, the household department is protected by Lord Cui, they are helpless even if they want to clean, father Zhishi is just to protect the future of our brothers, these sons know in their hearts, what is the fate of the Zheng family in the Ministry of Industry, if he proposed to His Majesty at the beginning, they will not be wiped out in the end, what they want to do is only six, not to make enemies in the court."

Then the old lady Bai let out a long sigh and said with emotion:

"It's a pity that Your Majesty was bewitched by adulterers"

Old lady Bai could only sigh, and the children and nephews of the Bai family were also sensitive and heavy because of this topic, and no one answered for a while.

Bai Lian heard it clearly on the side, it turned out that the old lady Bai Zhishi in Bai Inscription's mouth had another reason because of this.

I just don't know who the political/enemy opposite Old Lady Bai is? can have so much power to purge the six departments of the imperial court.

Later, thinking of Old Lady Bai's sigh, the current saint is also a dumb and incompetent person, who controls the six departments of the imperial court, which is equivalent to monopolizing the key veins of the entire imperial court.

The Ministry of Household is in charge of the grain and silver of the imperial court, which is equivalent to the emperor's money bag, the Ministry of War is in charge of the deployment of the army, and the record of the national generals, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is in charge of justice, and the Ministry of Officials has a close relationship with local officials because of the performance appraisal of officials.

If the saint is holding the six parts in his hands today, he can only be a frog at the bottom of the well, and those people draw the size of the well.

I couldn't help but think of before I was reincarnated, the power of the court collapsed, the Son of Heaven had no way, wolf smoke was everywhere, and corpses were everywhere.

Bai Lian's heart was a little heavy, and even the sweet orange she had just eaten was only full of sourness at the moment.

What was the old lady Bai talking about again, Bai Lian didn't pay attention anymore, and she was immersed in her own memories, until a terrible cry recalled her thoughts.

Small Theatre:

Official: Tell me about your past life.

White Lotus: A sad story, don't mention it.

Official: Say it, let's be happy and happy to say it!

White Lotus: !

Then, both of us were criticized by the teacher~
