In the main hall of the Bai family compound, the sun has completely risen at this moment, and the blazing sunlight makes people feel not warm, but hot.

"Do your brothers know about this now?" Bai Hong sat back in the chair and asked his eldest son Bai Fanmou with an expressionless face.

looked at his father with some shame, but he still replied truthfully: "Father, they all have their own things to do, and the third and fifth are not in the capital yet, and they haven't had time to tell them yet." ”

Bai Hong nodded, these sons of his have their own abilities, although they are not very outstanding, but compared to most of the families in this court, they are already very outstanding, but this is far from enough in Bai Hong's opinion, their own abilities have reached their own limits, and it is difficult to break through further.

Especially this boss, although he is a military attaché, but now there is no chance of promotion, due to the policies of the previous emperors, so the Great Song Dynasty has not strengthened the strength of the army, but in order to prevent such a thing as "adding a yellow robe", it has been constantly weakening the military power, and if you want to make a breakthrough, it will take another twenty years.

But Bai Hong may not be able to see it, now that he is close to the age of sixteen, who knows how many more years he can live.

I saw Bai Hong sitting there, sighing heavily and shaking his head.

I have to say that the era they are in now is a very embarrassing era, the country's politics have reached the most corrupt time, civil officials are greedy for money, military attaches are greedy for life, all people are greedy for their own glory and wealth, people are still as officials as they were at the beginning, exploiting the people one by one, accepting bribes, this has become a phenomenon, and now this phenomenon is still deepening, if it is not well handled, then the Great Song Dynasty will really be over.

Bai Fanmou, who was standing below, had an unnatural expression, and said in a squeaky voice: "Father, I, I."

Seeing that his son had something unspeakable, Bai Hong looked at him quietly, "Just say anything directly, there are no outsiders here." ”

Although he will be criticized for saying this sentence himself, if he lets his father find out by himself, it will be even more miserable, "Father, he is missing." ”

Seeing that his father's expression was not so bad, but he still looked expressionless, Bai Fanmou was a little anxious, and said in a panic: "But don't worry, father!" I've sent someone to look for him, and I guess I'll be back soon. ”

Bai Hong looked at his son like this, how much he looked like he was very hungry when he was a child, and was caught stealing vegetables from other people's vegetable fields, and slowly said, "Let them all come back!" No need to look for it. ”

Maybe he hadn't changed his mind yet, Bai Fanmou was a little confused, "Let them come back?!" Father! Yun Yun is no longer looking for it! ”

"Alas, you kid, fortunately, you were just asked to take the martial arts examination, if you were to go to the imperial examination, it is estimated that now it is at most a prefect, how can you not grow at all after so many years." Looking at his son like this, Bai Hong said with some reproach.

Although it was just a reproach from his father, he was still very happy, for so many years, his father had never been just a greeting to his brothers, and he had never lectured himself like this, and he was the only one in the family, how could he be unhappy.

But after being happy, Bai Fanmou fell into deep thought, although he is not the smartest among the hundred schools, but he can mix into his current status, he can't get it by relying on his merits on the battlefield alone, after a small half-ring, he has an answer, but he is a little unsure, and said slowly: "Father means that the child is back?" ”

Bai Hong nodded, looked at his son and said slowly: "Yes, I met him on the way back to the house, and saw that his clothes were very dirty, and his face was covered with mud, I asked him what was wrong?" Yun Yun didn't answer, but kept saying to me, 'Grandpa, I'm sorry. Seeing that he was only in a trance, I brought him back, and I arranged for someone to bathe him. ”

After a pause, Bai Hong said with some anger: "Did Bai Sheng do it?" ”

Bai Fanmou wanted to say no, but who could do it if they didn't do it, in the entire Bai Mansion, except for them ignorant children, who else dared to bully the children brought back by their father into a trance, since they couldn't hide it, then admit it, and nodded, "Father, it's indeed them, but they are still young, I hope my father can"

Before Bai Fanmou could finish speaking, there was a "bang", and he saw the teacup in Bai Hong's hand being slammed on the table by him, "Bastard!" ”

Looking at his father like this, Bai Fanmou didn't know what to say, "Father, I, I"

Bai Fan pointed to the door and said angrily: "Go, call them for me!" ”

Bai Fanmou didn't know why his father attached so much importance to that child, this was in his impression, this was the first time his father was so angry, although he was a little overwhelmed, he still obediently went to the ancestral hall according to his father's instructions and called the children over

Several children stood in a row, kneeling on the ground slowly, because their buttocks had been seriously injured last night, although they also wanted to go up to Grandpa to be coquettish and beg Grandpa to forgive themselves, but when they saw Grandpa's angry face, they didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and obediently knelt in the center of the main hall.

Looking at these children below, Bai Hong shook his head, why don't there be any finished ones, do you have to use this way to make this family good.

Seriously, Bai Hong is used to seeing the deceit and intrigue in the officialdom, and he is used to seeing local officials oppressing the people and accepting bribes, so in addition to maintaining the righteous thought in his heart, Bai Hong chose to be at peace with what he encountered, and after so many years, he also sat firmly in this position, no matter who it was, as long as he was not dead, then no one would be able to pull him down from this position.

Glancing at the children present, Bai Hong nodded, "Okay, good!" I really didn't expect you six boys to arrive! ”

They could all hear their grandfather's sarcasm, and they all looked at the ground with some shame, not daring to make a sound.

Looking at them like this, Bai Hong didn't want to talk about them anymore, but this family should be rectified, even if his other children were not present, only the eldest was here, but their mothers were still here, Bai Hong looked out of the sky and said slowly: "Lao Wang!" ”

Steward Wang, who was standing on the side, heard the old man calling out to himself, and hurriedly replied, "Eh! What are your commands, sir? ”

Bai Hongyi looked at the scattered white clouds outside the door, sighed, and slowly spoke: "Go and call the mothers of these children to me!" ”

"Yes!" Agreed, the housekeeper hurriedly went to call someone, to be honest, here, he felt very uncomfortable, the first time he saw the old man make such a big fire, so he was a little confused, he didn't understand how he had such a mentality, but it really happened, so that he himself felt a little panicked.

Shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and quickened the pace of progress to call people, after all, it was better for him to do this kind of thing himself, although he might be scolded by the young grandmothers, but it was better than arranging for the next person to do something bad

After the housekeeper left, Bai Hong looked out the window, and for a moment, he remembered her wife who had long passed away, although he didn't care about his children on weekdays, but his wife was not like this, his wife had not gone to school for a day, nor had she read a day, but when her husband was lighting up the imperial examination night and night, she would sit aside, although she would not hear a saint, but she was also familiar.

And it is precisely because of his wife that his children have grown up one by one, and now they are all quite famous.

Everyone wants someone to be able to accompany them with white hair like snow, but who would have thought that when they were forty-three years old, he was just an observer of the fifth grade, and a serious illness swept her away.

Since then, he has ignored the things around him, and has been drinking all day to kill his sorrows, and he has stopped paying attention to the persuasion of friends and family, and suddenly one day, he came out of the room, and there was no deep gaze on his face, and there was no cold face, he stood there, a smooth smile appeared on his face, and a deep gaze was shown in his heart.

Think about it, who can understand the bitterness?

Soon, Steward Wang brought the mothers of the children, and saw that his son had become such a virtuous person, his face was full of tears, heavy dark circles under his eyes, and the blood stains on his buttocks, but they did not dare to step forward to comfort and care for their son, because their father-in-law was sitting at the head of the main hall at the moment, and they were all beautiful women, so naturally they should also know the general situation and understand politeness.

"See my father-in-law!" As soon as the five people came in, they saluted Bai Hong, and when their sons saw their mothers, a few of them couldn't stand it and cried loudly, crying and shouting for his mother to protect him, but her mothers could only cry secretly there, they really didn't dare to disobey their father-in-law's orders, but as mothers, who could not feel distressed when they saw their children suffering there.

Of course, Bai Hong knew what they meant, but he just didn't let his subordinates stay with the children to recuperate, he wanted to give these people a lesson, a lesson that was enough to warn them for a lifetime.

Bai Hong said slowly: "Tell me, who of the six of you took the lead in this operation?" ”

The child was already short-sighted, thinking that as long as he told his grandfather truthfully, he would be fine, so he said: "Grandfather Qiqi, it's Brother Sheng, he said that as long as we help him get rid of the child who robbed him of his position, he will give us benefits in the future!" ”

Bai Hong's face was expressionless, and he looked at Bai Sheng with a solemn face, "Sheng'er? Is there such a thing? ”

Bai Sheng had no way to dodge it, and nodded.

Seeing Bai Sheng nodding, Bai Hong's anger suddenly came up, and he slammed the table hard, "Ridiculous! He's just a child with a foreign surname, where is he qualified to compete for status with you, I just treat him as my own student, you are so snobbish now, so you can pay it back when you grow up? What's more, the people I brought home dare to move, and you are too bold! Do you still have your father in your eyes? And me? ”

The more Bai Hong spoke, the more excited he became, in the end, he was already blushing and his neck was thick, he did think that these children would bully Yun Yun, but he didn't expect that they would make Yun Yun in a trance, Yun Yun's matter had been reported to the saint by him, if Yun Yun didn't meet his predestination, then he would be guilty of bullying the king.

And all of a sudden, Yun Yun was in a trance, and this time, if he wanted to completely recover, it would be impossible for him to recover completely without two or three months, and he was very angry.

And the people below, the family members of the Bai family, didn't even dare to gasp, they knew that if they spoke out, it would be countless anger, after all, they hadn't lost their temper for so many years, and once they lost their temper, it would be like the flooding of the Yellow River, out of control.

Taking a breath, Bai Hong continued: "Alas, although you did make a mistake this time, but now that the Bai family has become like this, the first thing to blame me is, if I don't care about anything, how can this happen, from today onwards, I want to rectify this family, so I hope you can clamp your tail and be a man, don't be like before, okay, go down, take them back to apply medicine!" ”

Everyone saw that Bai Hong was just thundering and raining, and they were all relieved, knowing that Bai Hong still had them in their hearts, and everyone was also very relieved, but these ladies were unwilling, and they were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat, so they had to bathe again when they went back, although they didn't dare to complain about their father-in-law, but they were also mourning.

Bai Hong shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Alas, it seems that I still can't be ruthless with them!" ”

"Fanmou, come here!" As soon as he heard his father call him, Bai Fanmou hurriedly walked back, "Father, what's the matter?" ”

"Go and send a letter to your younger brothers, come back soon if it's okay, and come back if you have something, no matter how important it is!" Bai Hong stared at Bai Fanmou and said.

Bai Fanmou knew what his father was going to do, so he agreed and went to take care of Bai Sheng.

The chaos was not settled, and the chaos rose again, only to see the old woman who went to bathe Yunyun come over, Bai Hong looked at her, and asked curiously: "What's the matter?" Finished taking a shower? ”

The old woman didn't know what to say, as long as she went to the master's side and whispered to the master, "Master, that Yunyun is a girl!" ”

"What? Girl! At this moment, Bai Hong was completely stunned
