Chapter 64. Dumping
Jing Xin originally thought that Uncle Bai was looking for it so urgently because of his beloved eldest son.
So along the way, how Jingxin will persuade Uncle Bai and how to reduce the impact of Bai Jitong's pickled matter has been completed.
But when Uncle Bai poured out his worries, Jing Xin's instant reaction was speechless.
Unexpectedly, what Uncle Bai was worried about was actually the marriage of his six-year-old daughter, which said that his daughter was two years older than Bai Xianyu, but he never dared to think about marrying his daughter.
Secretly exhaled, Jing Xin said, "Uncle, why worry about this? Miss Twelve is just a child. ”
Uncle Bai was bored at this time, and there was a lot of resentment in his eyes when he looked at Jing Xin, "Why don't you even understand me".
"Jingxin, this matter is uncertain for a day, and I can't be at peace for a day in my heart......"
"Above the court, although most of them are still controlled by the family, the family circle is not as united as it was in the early years."
During the period of the previous dynasty, especially in the later period of the previous dynasty, the various families under the imperial power were monolithic.
But in the decades between the fall of the previous dynasty and the establishment of the Qi dynasty, the circle of the family has also been constantly changing, the decline of the old family, and the rise of the new family, which have happened from time to time.
Uncle Bai continued.
"And I see that the emperor has more and more weights in his hands, and under the long-term disappearance, the family is afraid that sooner or later there will be a big reshuffle......"
Speaking of this, Uncle Bai's eyes looking at Jing Xin were already filled with sadness.
"My Bai family has been the head of these four great families for too many, many years, and I can't break it in my hands...... Jingxin, do you understand?"
Uncle Bai's worries, Jing Xin naturally understood, but he felt that Uncle Bai was thinking a little too much.
The Qi dynasty followed various systems from the previous dynasties, the most important of which was the selection and appointment of officials.
The system of appointing officials has evolved and improved through the Qin, Han, Xin, and Qianqing dynasties, and the system of three divisions, three dukes, five provinces, three Taiwans, nine temples, and five prisons was basically determined in the previous dynasties. The system of electing officials has also changed from the probation system to the nine-product Zhongzheng system.
The two complement each other, and they have evolved to the present, and have long formed a system in which the scholars control the election of officials, and the Shangshu Province in the five provinces controls the court.
The nobles and the imperial power were constantly opposed, and under the constraints, they finally formed a strange balance.
It was precisely because the previous dynasty wanted to break this balance that it caused a backlash of the power of the Shi clan, and was finally forced to abdicate, allowing the Yang family, who was born in the Shi clan, to ascend the throne and establish the current Qi Dynasty.
Jing Xin was silent and did not answer immediately, but Uncle Bai, who had a worried face, spoke again to himself.
"Thirty years ago, after that big victory, all the families in the world were too comfortable......"
Obviously, Uncle Bai is immersed in his own worry-filled world for a while.
Jing Xin sighed, and had to interrupt Uncle Bai's self-talk, his tone was soft and slightly reassuring, but it was impossible to ignore.
"Uncle, don't worry too much, in twenty years, what you think about now will not happen."
"And at this stage, in order to consolidate the imperial power, the emperor will only focus on appeasing the family."
He paused and looked straight at Uncle Bai, who was also pulled out of his pessimistic world at this time, and looked at Jing Xin with obvious surprise and doubt in his eyes.
Looking at each other, Jingxin continued to speak gently.
“…… And isn't marriage the best way to appease? As for why it was kept secret, I don't think I want to pounce on the minds of those families who have the same idea as you so early...... well, after all, there is only one position for this crown princess. ”
"Is that what he wants?" , Uncle Bai subconsciously asked.
What he wants is to keep the Bai family safe and secure in the current treacherous situation.
The Bai family has achieved the top row of the family's forces, but this does not mean that he is willing to take the Bai family to become the vanguard in the battle between the family and the imperial power!
If you become in-laws with the Yang family, then you will naturally have a reason to watch from the wall.
This is why Uncle Bai attaches so much importance to the marriage contract between Bai Xianyu and the prince.
Jing Xin smiled indifferently and did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Isn't it always in this world, there is suffering if you have a request, and if you have no desire, you are strong?" ”
Hearing this, Uncle Bai felt that his body seemed to freeze for a moment, but in the next moment, clarity and suddenness swept through his body and mind.
Although the family and the imperial power now have the spearhead of mutual resistance, during the reign of Emperor Jingde, this contradiction could never break out.
As long as ten years, the position of the crown princess will definitely be decided.
"Whew", Uncle Bai exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, "It seems that I am obsessed, but I am actually enchanted, but I didn't expect that I was led by the nose and left......"
"My Bai family can use the position of a crown princess to pick out the entire Bai family, why doesn't his Yang family need a clan woman from a high-ranking family......"
I have to say that Bai Xianyu, as the daughter of the first family, is also riding on her grandson, the Zhong family. It can be called the most valuable one among the women of the family, except for being a little younger, for Emperor Jingde, Bai Xianyu is the best candidate.
Compared to Emperor Jingde, he should be the one with the high Diaoyu Tai!
Uncle Bai, who suddenly became cheerful, suddenly disappeared the depression of the previous months.
He teased Jing Xin in a brisk tone, "I didn't expect you to dabble in Confucianism?" ”
Jing Xin's expression was still faint, "There are hundreds of schools, no matter which one of them, there must be a reason for what can survive." ”
At this time, Uncle Bai, who untied the knot, was completely no longer gloomy just now, and even a little fluttering.
Although the current atmosphere is mostly to respect Lao Zhuang's theory, but Uncle Bai was very involved in a wide range when he was young, and he also read some Confucian ideas and knowledge, and Uncle Bai, who was in a good mood, even if he wanted to communicate with Jing Xin.
But Jing Xin's next sentence directly destroyed Uncle Bai's mood that had just improved.
"Uncle, the third young master told me a few days ago that he wanted to transfer a few skilled cooks from the big kitchen to his yard, do you see this?"
Uncle Bai frowned, and the corners of his mouth that were covered by his beard were now there again, and he drooped again.
"Didn't he always eat from the big kitchen? Why bother. ”
"Aunt Luo has moved to the courtyard of the third young master a few days ago." Jingxin prompted.
It's a pity that Uncle Bai obviously didn't pay too much attention to his son's absurdity, he didn't understand Jingxin's prompt at once, but followed Jingxin's prompt, and subconsciously asked, "Where did Aunt Luo come from?" ”
But Uncle Bai is also good, listening to Jigu's general Bai Jiyuan's matter, I heard a rough idea.
He reacted, "What are you talking about, it turns out that the maid in Bixi Pavilion?" ”
Seeing Jing Xin nodded, Uncle Bai felt that the anger in his heart was a little uncontrollable.
All his thoughts were pinned down on Bai Xianyu's marriage before, and he just had a general understanding of the cause and effect of Bai Jitong's bastard.
Bai Jitong is eighteen years old, and there are naturally maids around him who are waiting, which is the practice of the sons of the family.
And although there are various contraceptive methods at the moment, accidents are inevitable after all, if they are encountered, each family will pinch their noses and admit it, after all, the heirs are innocent.
However, the aunt, as half of the master, has always been determined only after the wife enters the door and the wife agrees.
Bai Jitong's behavior of causing human life, to put it mildly, is that young people are indifferent and absurd, but it can also be understood.
But bypassing the wife who has not entered the door and lifting the aunt, this is simply abandoning the face of the family!
With a "snap", Uncle Bai's hand slapped heavily on Nanmu's desk, and the sharp pain from his palm made Uncle Bai couldn't help frowning again.
But the pain couldn't withstand the anger in his heart at all.
"How dare you do this? Doesn't he understand the rules? Different from the previous depression and boredom, Uncle Bai felt a little dizzy and panicked at this moment, if the matter of lifting his aunt continued to make a big deal and spread out, he was not sure if he would quit his family.
If the two families are at odds because of this, combined with the current treacherous situation, he doesn't dare to think about it.
"Cook, don't dial it, this 'Aunt Luo' is also embarrassed to be called out, I haven't communicated with my parents, I haven't reported to the government, and I'm embarrassed to say that it's my aunt?"
"The Fang family didn't discipline her maid well, let her dispose of it herself, the Bai family doesn't need such a lowly grandchild!"
Fang's bed climbed as a maid back then, but she didn't expect her maid to be as virtuous as her!
What kind of master is it, what kind of slave is brought out! It's shameless!
Jing Xin didn't expect Uncle Bai to make up his mind in three or two moments, although it hurt Yin Virtue a little, but it had little to do with him, he just went out of this door and found someone to send a message to Aunt Fang at random.
He didn't bother to discuss some remedial measures with Uncle Bai about Bai Jitong's matter.
immediately quit Uncle Bai and left the study.
