Chapter 16: The Dragon and Phoenix Fetus

In a blink of an eye, it was September 15th, and the lights were lit up in front of the Baifu Gate in Liangzhou, and the surrounding people came to congratulate them with congratulatory gifts.

Bai Yitian has always been an honest official, although he has not been in Liangzhou for a long time, his reputation has already spread.

The congratulatory gifts sent by the people are nothing more than eggs laid by some old hens, fresh vegetables and fruits picked at home, and so on.

All matters related to marriage were handled by Bai Suxin, so she took the initiative and invited the people who gave congratulatory gifts to the mansion to drink the wedding wine together.

Where do ordinary people have any chance to enter the official's mansion on weekdays? This time really made them feel that this Lord Bai was unusual.

In addition, there was a lot of food at the wedding banquet in Baifu that they had never seen before, and the people who came with vegetables and fruits couldn't help but muttered in their hearts.

Why did Lord Bai treat them so well?

Bai Suxin specially instructed his subordinates to explain to them, saying that the congratulatory gift is not about whether the gift itself is valuable, but about the heart of the person who gave the gift.

The things sent by the surrounding people seem ordinary, but they are a rare affection for the Bai family, so the Bai family naturally wants to entertain you.

After listening to what the Bai family said, the people were able to eat the wine with peace of mind.

As for the details of the marriage, Bai Suxin didn't care much, so he gave it to his subordinates to do, just knowing that there was no chaos.

However, I heard that Qi Rong, the eldest son of Qi, went out with the third sister on his back, and he cried a handful of snot and tears on the spot, and almost dyed the third sister's snow-white wedding dress with variegation.

Everyone said that Prince Qi was reluctant to give up his sister, so he did such a seemingly outrageous thing.

Bai Suxin just smiled faintly after hearing this, what she thought of was that on the day of the eldest sister's marriage, would the second brother cry as much as the eldest prince of Qi?

Of course, she had no way of knowing, because the letter about the eldest sister's marriage was written by the second brother, and even if the second brother really wiped his tears at that time, it would not have been written.

Thinking about it, the eldest son of Qi is not young, and he can still cry like that because of his sister's marriage.

Her second brother is just a fourteen-year-old boy, so won't he really cry bitterly?

For a period of time after his father's marriage, the Bai family has been filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Even though Yulan and Bai Suru were a little unhappy in their hearts, they never showed it.

After Qi Tong got married, he still came to teach Bai Suxin martial arts as before.

Bai Suxin was already very satisfied with such a stepmother, and was naturally happy to be close to her stepmother.

It's just that about the title of this stepmother, Bai Suxin seems to have a headache.

If you call her "mother", you don't know how to call Bai Suxin's own mother.

In the end, Bai Suxin finally decided to call her stepmother "eldest mother".

Although this title seems a bit old-fashioned, it can always distinguish the mother from the stepmother.

Three months after Qi Tong got married, Bai Yitian took leave from her third daughter on the grounds that she was unwell.

Bai Suxin naturally understood the reason why the eldest mother did not come to teach her to practice martial arts, the eldest mother was a married person after all, and she was still young, I was afraid that there would be happy events soon.

Sure enough, as Bai Suxin expected, after Gu Yu in the second year, his father really sent someone to spread the word, saying that the eldest mother is now pregnant, and all the affairs in the house are handled by Bai Suxin.

Because of the psychological preparation before, Bai Suxin didn't feel anything, but it was Yulan's side, and it was said that she fell seriously ill after getting the news.

Yulan has not given birth since her daughter Bai Suru was born, and in addition to Bai Yitian's rarely going to her place to stay overnight, her body is also a big problem.

She is only one year younger than Bai Yitian, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't be like this, but she has already asked the doctor for a pulse in private, and she learned that there is little hope of having another child in the future.

Yulan originally lived in the same courtyard with Bai Yitian, but since Qi Tong passed the house, Bai Yitian ordered Yulan to move to the West Courtyard and live with Bai Suru.

In addition, Bai Yitian covered it up well, so Yulan did not know in advance that Qi Tong was pregnant.

In the blink of an eye, in August, Qi Tong gave birth to a pair of lovely dragon and phoenix fetuses.

Bai Yitian named his son Bai Haozi and his daughter Bai Suruo, both of whom were spoiled to the tip of their hearts.

Bai Yitian, who was immersed in the joy of family, did not forget to find a good match for his second and third daughters, so he specially called his two daughters to the study to talk.

Bai Yitian sat at the desk, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip lightly, before slowly asking, "Ru'er and Xin'er, what are your plans for your future marriage?" ”

Bai Suru has always been introverted, and when she suddenly heard her father ask this, she had already blushed, where did she still have the courage to speak.

Bai Suxin is naturally different from the second sister, so she said bluntly: "My daughter thinks that now is not a good time to get married. ”

"Oh? When do you think it's a good time? Bai Yitian put down the teacup in his hand and asked curiously.

I only heard Bai Suxin say slowly: "If the father marries his daughter or second sister to Liangzhou, and you return to Beijing to be an official one day, how should this be?" ”

Bai Yitian's eyes were a little hesitant at first, but he quickly regained his clarity.

The third daughter has always been able to see the situation clearly, but last year, because he listened to the advice of the third daughter, he stayed away from the dispute between the princes.

The Master Hu who took his place had already cut off the news, and estimated that something had happened to him.

As for the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, Guo Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is also temporarily acting as the agent for the time being.

There is no one in the DPRK to take over the position of the secretary of the military department, and the third daughter is right, he may return to Beijing as an official sooner or later.

"If your father doesn't return to Beijing for many years, won't you and your second sister get married?"

Bai Yitian's doubts are not difficult to understand, he is not like Bai Suxin who has the ability of a prophet, so he always has more concerns.

Bai Suxin just said lightly: "The day when my father returns to Beijing will not be too far away." ”

Bai Yitian nodded secretly, constantly recalling what the third daughter said in his mind.

What the third daughter meant by it, Bai Yitian didn't figure it out for a while.

Bai Suru has always been like a transparent person, so she didn't speak at this time.

Regarding the marriage of this second sister, Bai Suxin is also unclear about how to arrange it.

In her previous life, Bai Suru was not married, nor was she married.

After raiding the house, it is said that Bai Suru entered the palace with her, but only Bai Suxin met Emperor Pingwu that day.

At that time, Bai Suxin didn't understand, why did Emperor Pingwu summon her alone?

It wasn't until many years later that Bai Suxin learned that when her mother Lin Tianhe followed her grandfather to the rivers and lakes, she had rescued a teenager.

That young man is Emperor Pingwu who left the palace in micro-clothes.

Emperor Pingwu had not yet found a chance to repay Lin Tilting for his rescue, and he heard the news of Lin Tilting's death.

Therefore, Emperor Pingwu returned this kindness to Bai Suxin.

For Emperor Pingwu, who is the Emperor of the Ninety-Five, preserving Bai Suxin's life in the palace is a reward for saving his life.
