Just when Bai Jing was about to fight, someone spoke out to stop Murong Jing, the eighth prince.

"Eighth brother, what are you doing here, isn't the lesson from last time enough?" The fourth prince in civilian clothes walked over and glanced at Murong Hao with some reproach in his words.

After speaking, the fourth prince Murong Liancheng looked at Bai Jing and said with a calm expression: "The eighth brother's behavior just now was offended. ”

The princes of the people said this in person, and Bai Jing couldn't express himself even if he was unhappy in his heart, he waved towards Murong Liancheng, and replied with a faint face: "Thank you, Fourth Prince." ”

Murong Liancheng didn't have any special concern in the face of Bai Jing's cold and rudeness, his eyes looked at Bai Zhen'er on the side, and the corners of his mouth raised, "Is this the big pearl of the Bai family?" It's cute. ”

"Thank you, big brother." Bai Zhen'er leaned over slightly towards Murong Liancheng, her voice was cute and her smile was sweet, she was really cute for anyone who saw it.

Murong Liancheng hooked the corners of his mouth, looked at Bai Zhen'er in a good mood and said, "What a lovely girl, I just got a pearl from the East China Sea yesterday, and I will send it to Baifu another day, so I will regard it as making amends for today's eighth brother's faux pas." ”

"Thank you, big brother." Bai Zhen'er still had a sweet smile on her face, watching Murong Liancheng leave with the Eighth Prince.

Bai Zhen'er felt embarrassed because of her behavior just now, you must know that if this Murong Liancheng is really according to her seniority, she should be called her great-grandmother.

Today, for the sake of this turmoil, she is still coquettish and cute and calls her big brother, and she is really uncomfortable yelling all over her body.

After seeing people walking away, Bai Jing said in a non-yin and non-yang manner, "Do you like East China Sea pearls so much?" ”

After hearing Bai Jing's unhappy words, Bai Zhen'er stretched out her little hand and grabbed Bai Jing's sleeve, raised her head with wide eyes and said glutinously, "Am I not my brother's pearl?" “

This sentence successfully made Bai Jing's face cloudy and clear, and he stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, ghost elf, just now he didn't know what this girl came out to say those words for.

This Murong Liancheng is from Concubine De, although the Eighth Prince is not from Concubine De, but it is also raised under the name of Concubine De, the Eighth Prince He is fearless, but the Fourth Prince Murong Liancheng He can't underestimate it.

Although there are many heirs of the emperor today, there are very few who grow up in the end, the four princes are counted as one, and the third prince is counted as one.

His Bai family belongs to the Hanmen faction, although the Empress Dowager is gone, but the faction is still divided, and the prince's party will not blatantly befriend the Hanmen. Doesn't this make it clear that the emperor is in the corner, I believe that as long as the prince has a brain, he will not do it.

After thinking about it for a while, Uncle Bai was very happy to take his little sister to the night market, and heard that there would be a show of lights at the mouth of the river at night.

"Let's go back, I told my mother to be home before sunset." Bai Zhen'er doesn't care, but the rules can't be abided by, otherwise it won't be so easy to come out in the future.

Bai Jing thought about the consequences with a slight headache, and finally sighed helplessly, "Let's go, my brother will take you out next time." ”

Looking at Bai Jing's eyes, Bai Zhen'er always had a rush that she hadn't been out for more than ten years, okay, although she really hadn't been out much.

In the end, they packed up and walked out of the restaurant, and when the carriage walked back, Bai Zhen'er looked at the shops on the street through the curtains, watching the people coming in and out.

Suddenly, her eyes saw a familiar figure, it was him, the same person she had met in the reeds that day.

The carriage soon passed by the shop where pen, ink, paper and inkstone were purchased, and the sound of the stop was swallowed alive, and her eyes remained looking at it until she could no longer see it.

What if you call for a stop? How can she, a young lady, come forward to talk abruptly? What's more, he is not the person he remembers.

After sighing in her heart, she lowered the curtain, and she was born from her heart, after all, she was a demonic barrier.

The carriage returned to the White Mansion before sunset, and tomorrow was the rest day of the White Lord, and generally everyone would gather together for dinner today.

But Bai Zhen'er still noticed something wrong, such as the fact that there were only vegetarian dishes on the table today, and there were some dishes that she had never seen before.

She remembered that since she could remember, every time she got together to eat, she had almost always cooked to her liking, but today was different.

"Zhen'er try it, these are the master's hometown dishes." Mrs. Bai gave her a dish, which happened to relieve her doubts, she obediently moved her chopsticks to taste the hometown food, the taste is quite special, and it should be also medicated.

Bai Jing was very happy to eat, he didn't pay much attention to these foods, he said while eating: "Fortunately, I came back today, otherwise I would have missed it." ”

Madam Bai frowned, and looked at Bai Jing with some reproach on her face: "Jing'er, if you are still so out of tune in the future, you can't take your sister out alone." ”

"I know, I know, I'm not measured, isn't my sister measured? It's rare to have a show with lights in the estuary today. ”

Madame Bai just glared at Bai Jing, as if she had something on her mind, and she didn't have the heart to ask Bai Jing about her recklessness.

"It's going to be the Lantern Festival in a while, and it's the same when I go back to see it." At this time, Master Bai suddenly came out with such a sentence.

Bai Jing was stunned before looking at Bai Zhen'er and said, "You see that my father loves you so much, I doubt that I am my own." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Madame Bai suddenly interrupted Bai Jing's words sharply.

At this time, the atmosphere became a little awkward after Madame Bai roared.

Bai Zhen'er thought about it and finally put down the chopsticks, picked up the chopsticks and gave them to Mrs. Bai, Master Bai, and Bai Jing, and then attached a cute girl's smile.

The atmosphere finally became less awkward, and she picked up her chopsticks to eat again, always feeling that this meal was a little nervous, and she always felt that something was going to happen.

Sure enough, after this meal, Mrs. Bai left her behind, saying that she would go to the ancestral hall after changing her clothes later.

What are you doing in the ancestral hall? Is today the day to worship our ancestors?

Bai Jing walked up to her at this time and whispered: "There's nothing strange about it, this is our family's custom, that is, we will go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Bai family later." ”

"Then why did my brother say that he went to the estuary to put the lights on before?" "Oh, because I don't know it's tonight, because the days change every year, and I don't know the specifics, anyway, it's nothing special, I just don't know why my dad is so solemn every time." Bai Jing is very well understood, and he still remembers a few times when he missed the ancestral hall where he was punished for kneeling for a few days, but the previous days were shortly after the first lunar month, and I don't know why it was postponed so late this year.

After listening to Bai Jing's explanation, she nodded and said that there was nothing to worry about, and that worship or something was usually like that. "Is the dish on the table today my father's hometown? Isn't our hometown in Huainan? "But today's food shouldn't be the dishes from Huainan.

"Well, I don't know, maybe our family used to start by cooking?"

Whoever believes is a fool, Bai Zhen'er thought so, since Bai Jing was unwilling to sue her too much, there must be some secrets in it that could not be told outside, thinking that he was afraid that she would know too much and cause trouble.

In fact, she really didn't have much interest, generally this kind of secret may involve the family's previous secrets, after all, Taizu has only established the Ming Dynasty for a few hundred years. In the troubled times, how many wealthy families collapsed, and how many people remained incognito, these are not surprising things in her opinion.

After changing their clothes and waiting for a while, they followed Mrs. Bai and Master Bai to the ancestral hall in the backyard, and there was nothing special about the ancestral hall from the outside, but there were only four of them in the ancestral hall, and the rest of the slaves were sent out of the door.

First, Mrs. Bai, who was dressed in plain clothes, lit incense with her hands, and then gave them three sticks, and then Mrs. Bai withdrew from the ancestral hall.

What's going on? Why didn't Madame White get involved? Although there are many questions in my mind, this is obviously not a good time to ask.

Old Man Bai took out an inconspicuous small box, and when he opened it, there was a piece of jade inside, with white characters engraved on it, which seemed to be something like the family emblem.

After opening the box and taking out the family emblem, Bai Yuan took the incense in her hand and began to bow, and she also knelt on the ground with Bai Jing, holding the incense in her hand.

The worship ceremony was not so complicated, and it ended quickly, but the momentum announced in the middle still left a deep impression on her.

After the worship was over, Master Bai put away the family emblem again, and suddenly called her name: "Zhen'er, you come forward." ”

"Yes." Bai Zhen'er walked up to Master Bai obediently, not knowing what he was going to say.

"This is the emblem of my Bai clan, my clan has survived the war so far, and most of the clansmen have been scattered and withered, but you have to remember that this is the pride of my Bai clan, you must remember." At the end, Bai Yuan's tone was cold.

"Yes, daughters (sons) follow the teachings." Bai Zhen'er and Bai Jing replied at the same time.

"Well, you go down first." After Bai Yuan waved at them, they withdrew from the ancestral hall.

Madame Bai naturally waited outside, and when she saw them come out, she ordered, "You go back to rest first, your father will stay in the ancestral hall tonight." ”

After saying goodbye to Madame Bai, the two returned to their respective courtyards.

She washed up hastily and went to bed, the clan emblem, the clan emblem, she felt as if she had forgotten something, the Bai clan's family emblem she must have known before.

She probably guessed that the Bai clan's family emblem was related to the Bai nobleman, maybe this was the Bai family, or it was a side branch of the Bai family.
