Under the flickering candlelight, Bai Mengwan sat at the table with her hands on her cheeks and thought about her thoughts, Bang'er, who lived in the same room with her, had already fallen asleep, after all, everyone was tired after climbing Xiangshan all day today, so after coming back for dinner, Bang'er also went to bed early.

However, Bai Mengwan couldn't sleep, because when she was on Xiangshan today, she saw a person, and she also saw that this person chatted a lot with Wu Shan, who was a Jinyi guard, and looked at her from time to time during the period, it seemed that the other party also recognized her, and asked Wu Shan about herself. Although Wu Shan obeyed Zhou Chong's orders, the identity of that person was not simple, and he should have known Wu Shan a long time ago, so Wu Shan was afraid that he would tell all the things about her and her sister Bai Junwan.

Thinking of this, Bai Mengwan couldn't help frowning, if that person knew that he was with Zhou Gongzi, and through the conversation with Wu Shan, he would definitely also know that Sister Lu Dao was in Shuangyu Port, if he coerced Zhou Gongzi to hand over their sisters, what should he do? Although Zhou Gongzi seems to be very valued by the Great Tomorrow, that person is also doing things for the Great Tomorrow, and he is powerful in the capital, even if Zhou Gongzi is valued by the Great Tomorrow, but he is only a grass people, how can he be compared with the power of the other party?

Just when Bai Mengwan was worried about the person she met today, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, which made her wake up immediately, and immediately dressed up and came to the door and asked, "It's so late, who is outside?" ”

"It's me, Mengwan, haven't you slept yet?" There was a sound from outside, which made Bai Mengwan feel a lot more at ease, and immediately opened the door. I just saw Zhou Zhong standing there with a warm smile on his face.

"Zhou Gongzi, please come in. The bracelet has fallen asleep. I can't sleep for a while! Bai Mengwan invited Zhou Zhong to come in and sit down, and poured him a cup of tea.

Zhou Chong originally discussed with Wu Shan about Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, but he didn't expect that Wu Shan, the most embarrassed queen, would tell him something about Bai Mengwan, and it also involved an important person in the court, so Zhou Chong came to Bai Mengwan to find out the inside story despite the fact that it was getting late.

I saw that Zhou Chong also invited Bai Mengwan to sit down, and after chatting with the other party casually, he suddenly asked, "Mengwan." When I was in Shuangyu Port before, your sister once mentioned to my aunt that I would take you as a concubine, and you yourself agreed, and then Jinxuan also agreed, but now I want to confirm again, are you really willing to be my concubine? ”

Hearing Zhou Chong suddenly ask about this, Bai Mengwan's face couldn't help but blush, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhou Chong anymore, and after a while. Only then did I hear her say with an imperceptible "um", which was regarded as answering Zhou Chong's most oblivious question.

got Bai Mengwan's affirmative answer. I saw that Zhou Chong said with a serious expression: "Okay, since Mengwan is infatuated with me, then I, Zhou Chong, swear here, that I will treat you like Jinxuan in the future, and I will never let you suffer half a grievance!" ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's sudden vow, Bai Mengwan also raised her head in shock, looking at Zhou Chong in surprise and puzzlement, she didn't know why Zhou Chong suddenly made such an oath?

But just after Zhou Chong made an oath, he immediately said: "Since Mengwan you are willing to be my Zhou Chong's woman, then we will be a family in the future, and we must be honest with each other, I used to know that you and your sister must have an unforgettable encounter, you don't want to say it, I won't force you, but today Wu Shan told me that there is a very powerful person who is inquiring about your sisters, I guess this person should be related to your previous experience, Mengwan, can you tell me?" ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Bai Mengwan finally understood the reason for his oath, but she could also tell that Zhou Chong did tell the truth when he swore it, so she was still very moved and sweet in her heart, but she was still a little hesitant for Zhou Chong to know what happened to their sisters before.

Seeing that Bai Mengwan still didn't open his mouth after listening to his words, Zhou Chong couldn't help but be a little anxious, and immediately spoke again: "Mengwan, the person who asked Wu Shan for news today is named Zhang Rui, although this person is young and a eunuch, but he is deeply favored by His Majesty today, and I heard that Gu Dayong, one of the Eight Tigers, is also closely related, so he has already achieved the position of the eunuch of the East Factory at a young age, although since Liu Jin's death, the power of the East Factory has plummeted, but it is still not to be underestimated, If you really have a grudge against him, then tell me frankly, no matter how bad the situation is, I will not hand you over! ”

Zhou Chong's words finally worked, and when Bai Mengwan heard this, she finally raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Gongzi has rescued our sisters several times, Mengwan has nothing to repay in this life, I only wish to be able to serve Gongzi for the rest of my life, in order to repay Gongzi's great kindness, as for the grievances between our sisters and Zhang Rui, it is also a great shame for our Bai family, and it is also a knot that my sister has never been able to untie......"

Bai Mengwan said, and finally told the grievances between their sisters and the eunuch Zhang Rui, but what Zhou Chong didn't expect was that the experience of the Bai sisters was bizarre and cruel, which was beyond imagination.

It turns out that the Bai sisters are indeed like they said before, born in Nanjing's scholarly family, their father is a famous local Confucian, has a high reputation in Shilin, and the Bai family is also a rich family, with a large field outside the city, and dozens of shops in the city, it can be said that the Bai family is also a number of wealthy people in the entire Nanjing city.

However, as the so-called family has a scripture that is difficult to read, the prestige and wealth of the Bai family are there, but there is also one unsatisfactory place, that is, Master Bai has no sons, only two daughters, Bai Junwan and Bai Mengwan, although Master Bai likes the two daughters very much, but no matter how good the daughter is, sooner or later she will marry out, and then there will be no one in the Bai family to inherit the family business.

In fact, Master Bai has not always had a son, but he doesn't know what debts their Bai family owed in their last life, and they couldn't support two sons in a row.

But no matter how disheartened you are, the incense of the Bai family cannot be cut off, and the huge family business also needs to be inherited, if you want to solve this problem, there are only two ways, the first is to succeed a son, and the second is to recruit the Bai Mengwan sisters, and give birth to a child in the future with the mother's nature, so that you can inherit the incense of the Bai family.

Speaking of which, the Bai sisters are also famous in Nanjing, first, their Bai family is a famous scholarly family, and their father is also a well-known Confucian, plus the Bai family has no heirs, which naturally makes the Bai sisters particularly attention-grabbing.

Second, the Bai sisters themselves are also very talented, Bai Junwan loves to read, no matter what kind of book, almost never forget, literary talent is naturally extraordinary, it can be said that among the readers in Nanjing, almost no one can surpass Bai Junwan in literary talent. And Bai Mengwan likes to play the piano, and her first-hand piano skills have entered the room, and those who are fortunate enough to hear it are full of praise, and some people even call it the first master of Nanjing piano art.

The superior family background and their own talents make Bai Junwan and Bai Mengwan have a large number of suitors, many of whom are famous scholars among the young generation in Nanjing, and there is an endless stream of people who come to ask for relatives, almost flattening the threshold of the Bai family.

However, Bai Junwan, as the eldest daughter in the family, is also more mature, she knows that she has no brothers, and her father is also old, so she naturally needs someone to inherit the family business, so she rejected all the people who proposed marriage, and took the initiative to ask for help. Master Bai was also extremely relieved to see his daughter so sensible, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to recruit Bai Junwan.

Speaking of Bai Junwan's son-in-law news came out, the whole city of Nanjing was a sensation, some young people with good family backgrounds are a pity, after all, it is impossible for them to be sons-in-law, but some family backgrounds are not very good, but those who are not well-born, but there are some young people who are very excited, if they can enter the Bai Mansion as a son-in-law, not only can they marry a beautiful girl, but also can sit on a huge family business, although the family business is surnamed Bai, but when the white master dies, the family still needs a man to be in charge, At that time, what is the surname of this huge family business, it depends on your own talent.

In order to recruit a satisfactory husband for his daughter, Master Bai also took great pains, not only posted a list of articles throughout the city, but also mobilized his friends and students to help him find suitable candidates, and after more than a year of selection, he finally selected a young scholar named Wang Rui among hundreds of outstanding young people.

Wang Rui was born in poverty, but because of his talent, he emerged among the scholars in Nanjing at a young age, and he is also a little famous, it is said that with his talent, there is a great possibility of participating in the imperial examination.

It is said that with Wang Rui's identity, it is impossible to take the initiative to be a son-in-law, but the world is very wonderful, Wang Rui had met Bai Junwan once by chance at a poetry meeting before, and there were many famous ladies in Nanjing City at that time, but Wang Rui saw the beautiful and incomprehensible Bai Junwan at a glance, and since then it has been love at first sight for her, and she is haunted by her dreams every day, and even her studies are a little wasted.

Originally, Wang Rui felt that with his own identity, it was impossible to match Bai Junwan, but he didn't expect that Baifu had no heirs, and he actually recruited a son-in-law for Bai Junwan, which made him very surprised, so he took the initiative to go to Baifu to recommend himself, and finally won among everyone with his own talent and learning, and was selected by Master Bai as Bai Junwan's future husband, but no one thought that it was this Wang Rui who brought Baifu into the abyss of no return.
