Chapter 28 Sympathy
After Yun Yuhong and the others returned to the inn, Mr. Ning took the initiative to talk about the affairs in the Yasukuni Mansion.
It turned out that this Yasukuni Hou Bai Hongen married his wife Ning in his early years and gave birth to his eldest son Bai Jiasheng, but unfortunately this good time did not last long, and Ning passed away in two years. Yasukuni Hou married the daughter of the scholar Zhou family, that is, the sister-in-law of the current scholar Zhou Ningbo. This year, the Zhou family gave birth to the second son Bai Jiaming within a year of entering the government, and gave birth to the eldest daughter Bai Jiayan in the third year. Zhou is a powerful person, in the upbringing of several children, she has always been very strict with her children, reading and literacy, learning and practicing martial arts, can not be relaxed, rain or shine. But Bai Jiasheng, the child who was left behind by the original match, was in a thousand pains, spoiled in every way, gave whatever she wanted, and did whatever she wanted, it was really afraid of falling off in her hand, and she was afraid of melting in her mouth, and she looked more precious than her own children, which gave her a lot of fame. But after a few years, people were ashamed to see the problem. Bai Jiasheng is lazy and lazy, and he doesn't learn and has no skills, and the children of the martial arts family can't practice a complete set of kung fu. And as I get older, I also develop a problem of liking beauty and sleeping flowers and willows. But Bai Jiaming is different, he is not even ten years old, he is already quite a general, he is good at all kinds of literary and martial arts, and he is praised everywhere he goes. The smart one has seen it at this time, what kind of idea did the Zhou family play, kill the eldest son who was left behind by the original partner, and cultivate the second son born to him, needless to say, the century-old foundation of the Houfu Mansion will fall into the hands of whom, she began to plan for her child as soon as she entered the door.
Bai Houye has the intention of cultivating his eldest son, after all, he was born to the original match, and it stands to reason that he will inherit Houfu. So he saw that something was wrong, and took his two sons to the military camp to hone when they were teenagers. The second son has adapted well, arranging troops, training soldiers and horses, and interacting with generals and soldiers in the army. The eldest son is not good, he often causes trouble and violates military discipline, not to mention, he still drinks and has fun in the army, and after repeated teachings, Bai Houye can't, so he has to send him back to the capital.
Bai Houye was also interested in this eldest son, and personally came forward to marry him to marry Yu, the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, who was a well-known talented woman in Beijing at that time, and hoped that he could take care of it, at least some success. It's a pity that the idea is good, the reality is cruel. In the three months after Bai Jiasheng newcomers entered the door, they took ten concubines in a row, and one of them was born in a Qinglou, so this Yu clan was not light, and if he was not pregnant, he would be separated. And Yu's health has been bad since he gave birth to Bai Ziyu. Bai Houye learned a lesson this time, and he didn't dare to raise his eldest grandson in the hands of a woman, let alone give it to the eldest son who was not angry, so he had to take the child to the military camp from an early age and raise him by his side.
There are two concubines in the Zhou family's big house who were born to their aunts, called Bai Zishu and Bai Ziqi, five years ago, Yu died after giving birth to his second son Bai Ziren. The Zhou family also planned to marry his uncle Bai Jiasheng again, but unfortunately he had a very bad reputation, and no one was willing to marry him.
Bai Jiaming married the second daughter of the Zhou family, the sister of Concubine Hui, his cousin as his wife, and had two sons, Bai Ziqi and Bai Zilin. Because Bai Jiaming has always been in the army, he took his wife and son with him, settled down at the border, and helped take care of Bai Ziyu.
And this Bai Ziyu lives up to Bai Houye's expectations, he has been very smart since he was a child, I heard that he has the ability to never forget, and his comprehension of military books and war strategies is also very strong, and he has been known as a prodigy since he was a child. It's a pity that when he was learning to ride a horse at the age of five, he had an accident and fell down, hurting his muscles and bones, and couldn't learn martial arts. Bai Houye was very disappointed, but this Bai Ziyu was very competitive, although he couldn't practice martial arts, he concentrated on learning literature, and his literary skills were very outstanding, and he began to assist in the governance of Chu City a few years ago. This frontier was originally very empty and sparsely populated, but under his rule, it was faintly prosperous. If it weren't for the fact that Shi Chiyan often disturbed the border this summer, and most of the people left, this would undoubtedly be another prosperous big city.
"And this Bai Ziyu is handsome and graceful, and the name of Yulang is also very loud in the border cities of the two countries." Speaking of which, Mr. Ning deliberately glanced at Yun Yuhong, Yun Yuhong raised her eyebrows, don't tease me there, I just fell in love with him, what can you do?
You don't look at how old you are, it's too precocious, Mr. Ning touched his nose and stopped talking.
"What is Yasukuni Hou doing to Bai Ziyu?" Yun Yuhong said with concern, in this family, her mother died early, her father was unreliable, and there was no support from her elders, so I am afraid that Bai Ziyu's life would not be easy.
Mr. Ning sighed, "I heard that it was originally good, but I heard that since he was injured and couldn't practice martial arts, Hou Ye treated him a little worse, Hou Mansion is a military mansion, and children who can't lead troops to fight have no status in this family." Coupled with his father's example, this Houfu can only fall into the hands of the second room. Now, in the third generation of the Bai family, the eldest Bai Ziyu is in charge of a camp at the border gate, but he is mainly responsible for military reserves. The second Bai Ziqi and the third Bai Zilin have always been in the army, and now the old Hou Ye is on an errand and is personally taught by the Hou Ye. The fourth white book and the fifth white chess were corrected by the concubine later, and they were not treated by the old waiter, but they were raised in the house. Is this sixth Bai Ziren, I only know that he is also raised in the house, but I don't know how it is. ”
"What about his grandfather Ning's family?"
"The Ning family has a close relationship with the Zhou family, and it is the same as the Yasukuni Houfu, as for these two children... Ignore it. Mr. Ning only sighed in his heart, these two brothers, Bai Ziyu and Bai Ziren, are also poor people, victims of the struggle in the mansion. However, it is not to be underestimated that this Bai Ziyu can grow into such a talent under such circumstances.
Yun Yuhong's thoughts in her heart are different, this Bai Ziyu and her situation are similar, both of their fathers are suppressed and persecuted by their stepmothers, he has a father but no mother, his father is useless, although she has the love of her parents, her parents are weak. Even my grandfather's family is the same, it can't be trusted. Speaking of which, the two of them have the same disease, and they can only work their own since they were children, but they are still competitive, at least they have achieved something. For a while, I felt closer to Bai Ziyu again, and I felt a sense of sympathy.
Mr. Ning saw that Yun Yuhong was in a daze again, knowing that this person was afraid that his brain was open again, and he was thinking about some strange things, and he felt some sympathy for this Bai Ziyu in his heart, and when he met this little ancestor, was he blessed or ...... Blessed.
Not far from the city of Chucheng is the military camp, and not far from the outside of this camp, at a glance, thousands of acres of land are crops cultivated by the soldiers and horses under Bai Ziyu. Every year, part of the grain and grass of the army comes from here. It's just that the land is barren, and the same area grows two or three percent less food than the fertile land in other places.
Yun Yuhong led a few people to a small hillside nearby. Looking down, many people in the endless fields were busy harvesting, and many eyes suddenly looked at them.
Yun Yuhong saw Bai Ziyu's figure from a distance, even if he was wearing the same clothes and standing in the middle of countless people, Yun Yuhong could still recognize him at a glance. Bai Ziyu was standing on the edge of the ground, watching his subordinates plow, and there were a few people standing next to him talking to him. Seeing that everyone was looking at the hillside, he also took advantage of the situation and saw several masters he had met in the restaurant yesterday.
He left his group and walked slowly towards the hillside. With her back to the sun, with a hint of a smile, elegant and calm, the whole person is like being in a painting, and Yun Yuhong's face is a little red again.
Bai Ziyu came to a few people and saluted: "Under Bai Ziyu, there is a fate to meet a few people here." If you don't see the outside, you can also go to the inside to take a look. ”
Yun Yuhong nodded, "Thank you Bai Gongzi for the invitation, we are interested in taking a look at the land here." ”
Bai Ziyu raised his hand to lead the way, and stood on Yun Yuhong's left hand side, only half an arm's length away from her, and the two walked side by side.
"I haven't asked the group for your last name yet."
"You can call me Sister Hong." Yun Yuhong said with a smile, she didn't want to reveal her identity yet, for fear that Bai Ziyu would not be close to her.
"......" Is this too intimate, Bai Ziyu didn't know how to answer.
"Can you tell us where you're coming from and where you're going?"
"We are from Guiwang Mountain, people in the rivers and lakes, there is no certain place to go, just walk around."
"Ghost King Mountain! What is the relationship between those and the ghost king? Bai Ziyu was surprised, he knew that these people were not bad, but he didn't expect them to have a relationship with the famous ghost king.
"If you don't want to call me Sister Hong, you can also call me the Ghost King." Yun Yuhong smiled again, I don't know if she is flirting with a beautiful man like this, but she likes it very much.
"......" What is it like to be molested by a little girl Bai Ziyu tasted it for the first time, crying and laughing, but also with some admiration, this girl is also straightforward, dare to say anything, the ghost king is a descendant, and it is indeed very human.
Everyone behind Bai Quhong was red-faced when they heard it, and they all automatically left a little distance, wanting to show that I didn't know her.
The two walked and stopped, often talking for a few sentences, Yun Yuhong's mouth was extremely strict, except for telling herself that she was the ghost king, everything else diverted from the topic, Bai Ziyu was also an interesting person, seeing that she didn't want to talk deeply, she didn't ask any more questions, only talked about some customs, and the two talked very happily.
In the distance, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, only to see the dust flying, the voices of the people were boiling, and a soldier ran over and said: "The cavalry of the Chiyan Army is coming to grab grain and grass, and Deputy General Liu has led people to meet the enemy, the number of enemy troops is relatively large, no less than 20,000, our side is almost unable to support it, and the eldest prince quickly thinks of a way." ”
Bai Ziyu exclaimed: "Why did it come so suddenly, didn't the sentry post in front of you find it?" "It's too sudden, I went to the big camp to transfer troops back and forth for at least two hours, but there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses here, and they are not strong soldiers, so I am afraid that they will not be able to hold it.
Although Bai Ziyu asked, he didn't expect this little soldier to answer, so he turned around and hurriedly ran forward.
