Chapter Seventy-Six: The White Family's Draft (I)

The two holy decrees issued by the emperor made Yu's wishful thinking come to naught is only a small result, and it actually has a great impact on every household in the imperial capital.

The women participating in the draft are relaxed from the girls of the third rank official or above to the girls of the sixth grade of the official and above, this time the draft is tantamount to adding nearly a thousand people, although it is a change of the score of the big election and the small election, but this difference is that the girl selected in the general election can be registered, become the concubine of the Son of Heaven or as a matching clan, and the small election, the emperor will not show up in person, but the queen Chen presided, Qing Concubine Li assisted from the side, the queen mother will also take a proper look when necessary, show up to show the majesty of the royal family, these three can decide the fate of the little draft girl, and the future of the little draft girl, the best is to be assigned to the clan as a side concubine, some clans whose status is not enough to establish concubines are like Mrs. of others.

However, this is already a very good thing for most of the four, five or six officials, if the official to the fourth, fifth or sixth grade, if he does not really have a little ability, or the family background is extremely good, then he will not move his qualifications, and he will be higher than his official position, and it may be possible to be promoted to a level and a half, which must have a premise, be diligent and diligent, and the slightest sloppiness cannot be tolerated, and the slightest mistake cannot be made.

But if there is a side concubine or clan such as a lady in the family, even if it is a concubine for others, but the person who marries will always have a higher status, if the daughter can be favored by her husband and give birth to a man and half a woman, the noble son-in-law will naturally be promoted in the officialdom, which is much happier than staying up for ten or twenty years in his original position.

But there are always exceptions to everything, not every family wants their daughters to stand out from the small election, Liang Guogong just heard this edict in the court, and rushed back to the house after the court, and went to his mother to say goodbye.

The Yihua Hall of Liang Guogong's Mansion is the residence of the old lady of Liang Guogong, the old lady of Liang Guogong is now nearly sixty years old, but because of good maintenance, it doesn't look like an old woman who is about to go to the sixtieth armor, wearing a calyx green embroidered with a silver-edged peony jacket, and the bottom is just a plain skirt with the same calyx blue, which does not look luxurious, but the discerning person can see it at a glance, but the calyx green material used to cut clothes is the Lingyan brocade made in Suzhou for the court, and the emperor will reward several important ministers and relatives every year, but it is really rare to get this material。

It has been many years since the death of the old Liang Guogong, but the old lady Liang Guogong and the old Liang Guogong have been in love for a lifetime, and the old lady Liang Guogong was also the daughter of a general back then. You go and help the old woman invite the second master and the second lady over, just say that there is something important to discuss, and then go to clear the eldest lady, and say that the eldest master is also in Yihua Hall, and today's dinner will be placed in Yihua Hall, let her come over. ”

Xinru got the order to run out quickly and invite someone to go, in the huge main hall of Yihua Hall, only Liang Guogong and the old lady were left, and then there was Mama Jiang who followed the old lady to marry and served the old lady for fifty years, Liang Guogong was also raised by Mama Jiang, so if there was anything to say, the mother and son did not shy away from Mama Jiang.

Liang Guogong Bai Benting is still wearing a first-class official uniform, although he is in his early forties, but when he was very young, the old Liang Guogong could train him in order to carry forward the Bai family, plus he has been in an important position for many years, and now he looks more like a courtier, and he muttered for a while: "Mother, no matter what the final result of this matter is, I still have to tell the two younger sisters to know, after all, the two younger sisters' husband's family also have people participating in the draft this time." According to the son's meaning, the second girl and the third girl, this time it is better not to be selected in the small election, after all, ......"

"What you said is that our Bai family is now in your generation, it is already the third generation, it is in full swing, and it has not yet fallen to the time when it is necessary to contribute to the Bai family. ”

Bai Benting shook his head: "Mother doesn't know, this is a joke for nothing, but it is secondary, and more importantly, our Bai family has produced a Queen Herui, and now the situation of the second prince is not very good, so many people have a wait-and-see attitude towards our Bai family, if our Bai family really takes the lead in making any move to make it clear which side it is going to, I am afraid that it will be in dire straits." ”

When Lu Cheng was just established as the crown prince, the old Liang Guogong Bai Han was still alive, Bai Benting was still the son of Liang Guogong, and the old Liang Guogong Bai Han once said: "Since ancient times, the work of the dragon is to seek in danger, my Bai family is not the end of the road, and it is not from the dragon to achieve the Bai family, so as a last resort, the position of the Bai family will always be loyal to the monarch, and this article will be established as the Bai family motto, even if I die one day, the boss takes over the position of Liang Guogong, and there must be no change."

Because it was winter, the old lady of Liang Guogong was older and more afraid of cold, so there were a lot of charcoal basins lit in Yihuatang, and there were already some beads of sweat on Bai Benting's forehead, Mama Jiang stepped forward gently, wiped off the sweat beads on Bai Benting's forehead with a handkerchief, and said softly: " No matter how good the grandfather and the old lady think, I am afraid that the second master and the second lady may not be willing, and the grandfather is now sitting in Yihuatang, but I am afraid that the body will be a little hot, it is better to go to the sweat first, and the old slave will go and bring out the rock sugar pear soup stewed in the morning for 10,000. Knowing that Grandpa Guo doesn't like to use steaming soup in winter, the old slave has long put Grandpa Guo's share aside to cool down, and now it is just right to eat, so it will not hurt the spleen and stomach. ”

Bai Benting glanced at Mama Jiang gratefully, this mama who watched herself grow up since she was a child, she understood the old lady's mind the most, and her own mind was also transparent, at this time, she told herself that no matter what dispute the second brother and the second brother and sister came for a while, they had to try to stop it in front of the old lady.

The old lady of Liang Guogong's surname is Chen, and she is the aunt of today's Empress Chen, but because she has been in harmony with Bai Hanqin all her life, most of her thoughts are spent on the Bai family, and she is not very close to the Chen family. At the beginning, your father and I were a little sorry for your brother, but at that time, it was when the first emperor was suspicious of our Bai family, if you didn't abolish your brother, I was afraid that the first emperor would have taken away the title of our Bai family on a trumped-up charge. Your younger brother is now a fourth-grade official, whether he has any title on his body, he must be unwilling in his heart. I have been trying my best to compensate the second child and the second daughter-in-law for so many years, but this matter is related to the great future of our Bai family, but it can't be left to the second child's will. But boss, my mother has something to say first, no matter what, we can't wronged Sister You and Sister Ci. ”

Bai Benting understood his mother's guilt for his younger brother very well, and said with a fist: "Mother rest assured, the reason why my son wants to go to the eldest sister and third sister's house is that the two sisters' husbands have show girls, and secondly, it is for the marriage of the second sister and the third sister, to get rid of the two sisters looking at each other's sons, is there a suitable young man for our second sister and third sister, if you find the right one in advance, you can let the second sister and the third sister hide it in the draft." ”

The old lady Chen felt sorry for the sacrifice made by her youngest son for the Bai family, so she doubled the compensation for the two daughters born to the second daughter-in-law Du Shi, Bai You and Bai Ci, and the love for these two granddaughters was no less than that of the only daughter born to the eldest daughter-in-law Geng, Bai Hui, and heard that Bai Benting, who was an uncle, was so considerate of the two nieces, and her heart was also a lot relieved: "You are willing to carry your brother like this, and after a hundred years, I don't have to worry about your brother building a wall." Your third sister is now pregnant, and she is over thirty years old, but I am afraid that it will be very hard to conceive, and it would be better if Princess Zhaocheng was willing to help say a few words. When Sister Si'er Xu was ......"

Bai Si is the only concubine among the grandchildren of the Bai family, born to Bai Benting's aunt Zheng, although she is a concubine, she is also the eldest daughter, and she just got married last year. When Bai Si was picked for the first time, the Duchess of Liang Guo, Geng, as the mother-in-law, was afraid that people would say that she treated her concubine badly, so she specially asked Princess Zhaochang to come forward to help pick someone, which was a Guo surnamed Juzi who had taken the exam with Xu Linche, although his father was only a five-grade official, but Guo Juren was able to lift at a young age, and he was also a little talented, and the Guo family was innocent, and there was no concubine aunt, although Bai Si was a concubine, when she arrived at the Guo family, she became a serious lady, and Guo Juren raised her eyebrows, and she was pregnant in less than two months after marrying, and now she is about to give birth, and Guo Juren also plans to be admitted to the Jinshi within two or three years, is really young and promising.

The Chen family is not the kind of person who is greedy for wealth and nobility, what kind of family background the granddaughter marries is secondary, the key is to be a good person, and the family background must be innocent, so she is 10,000 satisfied with the family affairs that Princess Zhaochang picked for this granddaughter, and she is even more looking forward to these two granddaughters who grew up with a lot of pain.

Chen was thinking about what kind of family should be chosen for Bai You and Bai Ci to match, but he saw his second daughter-in-law Du Shi, who was wearing a rose-colored jacket and skirt, crying and breaking in: "Mother, how can you treat Sister You and Sister Ci like this, but the two of them were raised by your mother!"
