Chapter 7: I Regret It
Zhou Xiwan threw up her sleeves and left, and stayed here, she didn't know what she would say, and it would only be her mother who would be embarrassed at that time.
"Wan'er...... Look at this child, I'll go see her. Bai hurriedly chased out.
Zhou Xiwan returned to the house, the porcelain in the house was damaged, the exquisite porcelain was shattered, and the maids hid at the door and did not dare to enter, for fear that Zhou Xiwan's anger would be on them.
Seeing that Bai Shi was coming, he quickly stood up, Bai Shi walked into the house, grabbed his daughter's hand, grabbed the vase in her hand and put it aside, "Enough, Wan'er"
"Mother...... I'm unwilling, why do they humiliate us so much, why, just because I'm not a concubine, you are not the wife of the Zhou family? Zhou Xiwan shouted at Bai in pain, why did she have to go through such humiliation after two lifetimes, she hated herself so much, nothing could not change this situation.
"Wan'er, Wan'er, you calm down, it's not good for your mother, it's all your mother's fault, let you go through this, but things won't be like this forever, as long as we endure it for the time being, there will definitely be a day when you come out, you believe in your mother." Bai hugged her daughter hard, how could she not hate herself, and hate why she couldn't let go of Zhou Jianxiong.
"Will there ever be a day?" Zhou Xiwan looked at the Bai family.
"There will definitely be," Bai nodded vigorously.
Early the next morning, Zhou Jianxiong changed into court clothes and went to the court, and greeted the newly appointed military secretary, and the officials of the imperial court greeted him warmly
After the Great Dynasty, Zhou Jianxiong came to the imperial study with the emperor.
"Come on, give a seat" The emperor sat behind the imperial table, his face majestic.
"Your Majesty Xie" Zhou Jianxiong sat respectfully.
"General Zhou, do you know why I am in a hurry to summon you back?" The emperor looked at Zhou Jianxiong.
"I don't know."
"I have been the emperor for thirty years, the princes have grown up, although the prince is not very good, but it is not too mediocre, it is still possible to be a king, but the prince below is not stable, I need someone around me who can be trusted to help me stabilize the capital, you have been stationed in the north for these years, the Turks have been afraid of you, there will be no war for the time being, you help me train in the capital by the way, some soldiers in the capital have become young master soldiers, how can such soldiers have combat effectiveness."
After too long of stability in the country, all aspects of the problems have been exposed, the officials are extravagant, and the soldiers have no morale.
He left the throne to his son, and he also left him a stable country, not a country full of holes.
The deeper reason is that now the power of the Hou Ye in various places is getting bigger and bigger, and some people even privately deploy troops to expand their territorial forces, how can he not guard against it.
Transferring Zhou Jianxiong back is also to startle the snake and change the situation in the DPRK and China. He wanted to spend these last years in peace, and he didn't want to make a lifetime of heroic and bad luck, so that his tragedy would be recorded in the history books.
"Yes, the minister obeys the order" Zhou Jianxiong got up.
Young Master Soldier? Isn't it? The barracks stationed in the capital are all the children of the eunuchs, and when they go there, they are gilded, mixed with an official and a half-post, pointing at them? If you really go to the battlefield, it would be good not to run away.
It is not easy to train them, and this is still a matter of offending people, what is the emperor's mind when he puts him in this position?
Zhou Jianxiong came out of the palace with a lot of thoughts, rode back to the house, Zhou Xiya was ready, this time not only Zhou Xiwan followed, but Bai also followed, Zhou Xiya didn't say anything, and several people got into the carriage and drove to the Bai family.
The Bai family is a famous family, many people in the clan are officials, and some of them are in business, and their influence in the court is not small, but Bai Ruichuan's reputation is not so prominent, which is also related to Bai Ruichuan's personality.
When Bai Ruichuan was young, he did not follow his father's arrangement to enter the hospital, but went to the battlefield to treat the doctor, when he saved Zhou Jianxiong's father on the battlefield, the two married Jinlan, the two Yemen were right, when Bai Ruichuan's wife was pregnant with a child, the two families made a marriage contract.
At the gate of the Bai Mansion, there were many people standing, the old lady of the Bai family stood anxiously at the door and watched, and there were two sons and daughters-in-law beside her, except for the head of the family, they all came out to greet them.
The eldest daughter-in-law on the side grabbed Mrs. Bai's arm and persuaded: "Mother, it's windy outside, you better go back first, so as not to suffer from the cold, your body is just right, and we are waiting here?" ”
"Yes, mother, we have it," the second daughter-in-law on the side also echoed.
"I can't sit still at home, I look forward to seeing Ya'er for the first time, the child was taken to the border by your brother-in-law at such a young age, this walk is more than ten years, although the child often writes to say hello, but the mother is still worried, I don't know what the child has grown up to now, is it like your sister, I am sorry for your sister, I didn't take care of her daughter, it's my body that is not angry." When it comes to her daughter who died early, Mrs. Bai is heartbroken, and if she is better, she will take her granddaughter over and raise her by herself.
"Mother, isn't there no way? My sister will be considerate of you, Ya'er is back today, it's a happy thing, don't be sad, let's laugh today, my brother-in-law won't leave in the future, you have a chance to see Ya'er, and let the child accompany you when the time comes. The eldest daughter-in-law was busy persuading.
Originally, they said that they wanted to help take care of the sister-in-law's child, and the mother-in-law was not in good health, but there were still her and the second brother and sister and the third brother and sister at home, and it was a big deal that they took the child, and they had a good relationship with the sister-in-law, so it was naturally an unshirkable thing, but the child had to follow the brother-in-law, not follow them, and he couldn't cheat him, so he had no choice but to let his brother-in-law take him to the border pass, and this trip was thirteen years.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm not sad, I want to laugh, your sister would be happy if she knew that the child was back, after all these years, their father and daughter have suffered, alas, what is this, I made a mistake in my decision back then." Old Madam Bai's eyes were full of remorse.
When the concubine climbed into her son-in-law's bed, or after her daughter's death, she wanted to kill the shameless girl, but her husband persuaded her that for the sake of her granddaughter, she also persuaded her son-in-law to admit it.
I didn't expect the son-in-law to care so much about his daughter, and would rather go away to the border than marry that girl, which made it to such an embarrassing situation now, she regretted it, and hoped that there would be a chance to redeem it.
The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law of the Bai family glanced at each other, knowing what her mother-in-law was talking about, she could only sigh helplessly, who can be blamed for this, it can only be said that it is a trick of fate.
