Here, Bai is talking to the two sisters-in-law, the sister-in-law is amiable and affectionate, and the second sister-in-law is sneering at the sister-in-law from time to time. Bai Shi listened with great interest while drinking tea. At the beginning, when she didn't leave the cabinet, although she had a general relationship with her second sister-in-law, she didn't have any bad friends. However, the sister-in-law is the daughter of the Wang family, and she has always bullied her as a concubine. Later, she got married, because she was married to a concubine, and her sister-in-law, as the head of the family, never looked at her in her eyes, and every year she only sent a housekeeper, or even just a mother-in-law, and never allowed her eldest brother to go.

Of course, her eldest brother is only the eldest brother of the same father, at that time, the eldest brother and the second brother were the sons in law of the Bai family, and their status could be proud of the prince, where could they look down on her as a sister-in-law.

Now, Shiyi time has passed, the eldest brother and the second brother have become ordinary clansmen of the Bai family, and she, Fujun is the elder of the Chen family, the second-grade member of the imperial court, and the eldest son is the first-grade city lord, and has a foundation overseas, so this time she went back to her parents' house, not only did the eldest brother pick it up in person, but the second brother and the second sister-in-law also rushed to the eldest brother's house to reunite with her. These did not make the Bai family proud, but she dealt with it calmly, so now she calmly drinks tea and watches the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law quarrel.

At that time, the sister-in-law was the daughter of the Wang family, relying on the power of the queen, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bai family, arrogant, not only did she treat her sister-in-law badly, but also treated her own concubine, as the daughter of the eldest princess, the county lord of Shuyuan was also unpretentious, at that time, the county lord of Shuyuan was under the suppression of the sister-in-law, and was not less angry, at this time, everyone was an ordinary person, and moved out of the mansion, but the county lord Shuyuan is the daughter of the eldest princess, the emperor's niece, and has her own county lord's mansion, so naturally you don't need to live in a private house like Mrs. Wang, so, As soon as she came, she quarreled with Mrs. Wang to relieve the anger she had suffered back then.

Mrs. Wang originally invited the Bai family over and wanted to take the opportunity to talk about things. But the county lord Shuyuan didn't give her a chance at all, just blindly sneered, she couldn't bear it, so she could only fight with the county lord Shuyuan. Until the daughter-in-law Xing Danfen came in and said, "Mother, aunt, second aunt, the meal is ready, are you going to move to eat?" ”

Bai Shi was still very satisfied with this nephew and daughter-in-law, and as soon as she saw Xing Danfen at this moment, she immediately said: "Junzhi family, you have worked hard, come and rest." Why didn't you see your little grandson, your little granddaughter? ”

Xing Danfen hurriedly smiled and said, "Those boys in my family. The girls were very naughty, pestering their uncle in the front yard just now, and only came to say hello to their aunt after a while. ”

As he was talking, several children came in, it was Xing Danfen's son and daughter, as well as the concubine and the concubine. As soon as they came in, they kowtowed and gave New Year's greetings to their aunts and grandmothers. Bai likes children very much, and hurriedly asked the red carp next to him to take out the prepared red envelopes and distribute them to them.

Mrs. Wang was also very happy to see these grandchildren, and said, "Let's go to dinner." The place at home is shallow and narrow, so I can only go to the big flower hall to eat. Don't be surprised, all of you. ”

Bai hurriedly beckoned Wen Hui and the three girls to go together.

In the front yard, Chen Yuanheng smiled and entered the study with his two eldest brothers. After greeting for a while, the eldest brother-in-law Bai Jiachuan couldn't hold his breath and said: "Yuanheng, you see that we are now ordinary people without official positions, and we could still have some luck with your eldest niece in the Prince's Mansion, but your eldest niece actually killed the slut of the Wang family in the Prince's Mansion." But. This is also the blessing of your eldest niece, and it is also the blessing of our Bai family. Of course, even if something happens to your eldest niece, the prince is also deposed, and we can't get any better. None of that is to be said. It's useless to say, now our family is sitting on a mountain empty, although some industries, some fields, daily chewing is enough, but you also know that the daughters of the Wang family are useless, the former queen made a mess of the harem, and your sister-in-law is not good at running the house, although it has not been to sell things in the past two years, the prospects are not good. So, I thought, please brother-in-law you find a way, I can't do it, or get your eldest nephew an errand to do. ”

Saying this, Bai Junzhi hurriedly grabbed the ground, and said very sincerely: "The little nephew knows that he is only a shallow learner, but he has a heart that is willing to learn, and I hope that my uncle can teach the little nephew and help the little nephew." ”

In fact, Chen Yuanheng was blinded by Bai Jiachuan countless times in his early years, and he had no good impression of Bai Jiachuan and his family, even his wife Bai was also incompatible with Bai Jiachuan's face. But Bai still loves his nephew and niece-in-law very much, thinking about it, his wife is worried about herself, although she also has complaints about her mother's family, but after all, she is a blood relative, and she still has to give some face. Therefore, he pondered for a while and said, "Nowadays, I am also the time to employ people, but I am all drudgery there, I remember, you have a meritorious name, right?" ”

Bai Junzhi said: "The little nephew is not talented, he was too squishy back then, and he was just a showman." ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Just show talent, you can be a low-level official, but the status is low, the position is low, there is a lot of work, and it is tedious, can you bear this hardship and do this kind of lowly work?" ”

As soon as he heard that it was a small official, Bai Jiachuan was a little unhappy, but Bai Junzhi took the first step and said: "Uncle, I'm not afraid of those, when my sister had an accident, I hated myself for being incompetent, I just knew cockfighting and lackeys all day long, if I had the ability, those women in the prince's mansion would definitely not dare to deal with my sister." Poor my sister is only sixteen years old. At that time, I made up my mind that I must learn my skills, be promising, and be able to protect my children, parents, and relatives. What's more, our family is now an ordinary rich man, and do we still find fault with the size of any official position? To put it mildly, didn't my uncle also start from Qipin? ”

Bai Jiachuan opened his mouth and didn't speak. Bai Jiamao on the side nodded, his nephew is still a bloody man, but his eldest brother is much worse.

Chen Yuanheng was also very satisfied, so he smiled and said: "After the festival, you can come to my Ministry of Industry, I will be very busy after the festival, because spring ploughing is the time to implement new seeds." Although we are working hard and cumbersome in this matter, if we do it well, we will be able to make a name for ourselves in history. ”

These words made Bai Junzhi overjoyed, and Bai Jiachuan also understood when he heard it, and thought in his heart, so it would be okay, although it was a bit embarrassing for the disciples of the Bai family to be a small official, but who let his family fall now. Not to mention, this is a good opportunity to be famous in the world, but it has been hard for a few years, but in the future, it will be able to make a lot of credit, and it will be famous all over the world, and at that time, it is estimated that the Bai side concubine of the Bai family will also be able to make a living, maybe she will use her son's reputation to recall herself back to the mansion and be worshiped by the Bai family again.

The more Bai Jiachuan thought about it, the happier he became, and he began to look at Chen Yuanheng more and more pleasing to the eye, this Chen Yuanheng was just a concubine of the Chen family, and he was a little reluctant to marry his sister-in-law who was like a flower and jade, but now it seems that it is still very correct. He also has his own sister-in-law, and he also has several sisters, one died in the battle of the harem, and several of them followed their husbands to serve abroad, and the husband's official position is not high, only this Chen Yuanheng has not only accumulated huge wealth in the past few years, but also upgraded continuously. In charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, this is a fat man, and he has won the trust of the emperor. I heard that the family started to grow cotton there, and it has already had a bumper harvest, and it is also a business with this brother-in-law, and it is possible to make all the money in the world in the future. The clan attaches great importance to it, I heard that Bai Jiayuan's one got the trust of his family because of his good relationship with Chen Yuanheng, on the contrary, this is his brother-in-law, but he didn't pay attention to it, he really has no eyes.

Thinking of this, Bai Jiachuan couldn't help but think of his wife. In fact, his mother treated Bai's concubine very well, and taught her to manage her finances, so Bai's treated her brotherhood well. However, since his wife, Mrs. Wang, entered the door, she did whatever she wanted because she was the queen's cousin, and she looked down on her sister at all, of course, she even looked down on her second brother and sister, the daughter of the eldest princess, Shuyuan. It was because she was arrogant and ignorant that after her daughter died, their family was abandoned by the Chen family.

Thinking of this, Bai Jiachuan was angry again. If he hadn't taken care of his son, he would have divorced Mrs. Wang a long time ago.

Thinking about this, Bai Jiamao talked to Chen Yuanheng, among which Bai Jiamao's sons, Bai Junda and Bai Junyi, surrounded Chen Yuanheng and asked Chen Yuanheng to talk about the customs and customs of the south of the Yangtze River.

Chen Yuanheng's witty words are like pearls, his speech is elegant and funny, and he is fascinating when he talks about it, Bai Junda and Bai Junyi are all listening.

Bai Jiamao thought to himself: No wonder this brother-in-law can get a high-ranking official, he is really talented and learned, and he is a rare talent, no wonder, his mother-in-law foresaw that Chen Yuanheng was not a thing in the pool, and he must befriend him as a husband and wife.

Chen Yuanheng naturally didn't know that he was favored by the eldest princess back then, but he was just talking to his brother-in-law and nephews.

After a while, the maid came to report that the meal was ready. Chen Yuanheng, surrounded by the Bai family brothers, father and son, went to the flower hall, and watched singing and dancing with his wife and daughter with the Bai family, and ate wine and food. Chen Wenhui found that although his uncle's family has declined, the standard of this kabuki is still very high, but the clothes and jewelry are not new, which shows that they are still affected.

After the meal, the Bai family was personally escorted home by the eldest Bai Jiachuan.

Chen Wenhui's family arrived home, and it happened that Bai Yuying was also escorted home by her eldest brother Bai Junfeng. Bai Junfeng met Bai Jiachuan at the door, and was busy saying hello to his uncle politely. Bai Jiachuan nodded and left with a cold face.

Chen Yuanheng shook his head, his brother-in-law is much inferior to his nephew in terms of bearing.
