Day 062
The old lady sitting in the main seat is different from Bai Minghe’s imagination. She is not the kind of person who makes people look very kind. She looks like a peasant woman who has worked hard all her life. In fact, Bai Minghe’s grandmother is not over 60 years old and is only fifty-nine years old. But she looks like an old lady in the later generations of 70 years old.
The man sitting next to him was like a rural teacher in the 1970s and had no majesty.
Even though he looks serious, he still feels very friendly, and he belongs to the kind of good-looking guy who is very popular and accepts.
But judging from the clothes, Bai Minghe knew that his father also had the fame of a scholar.
When it comes to kowtowing, it’s not the turn of Baiminghe to come first.
First, Bai Chongyuan, who returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, kowtowed three times: "Son, I'm back. Good luck to my mother!"
"Okay, get up quickly!" The old lady wiped her tears. This was the most promising person among her four sons. She passed the Jinshi and was an official in the capital.
Bai Chongyuan became more and Bai Minghe's father Bai Chongxi stood up and bowed: "Second brother has worked hard all the way." The two brothers bowed to each other, and Bai Chongyuan came aside, and it was Bai Minghe's turn.
"Grandson Bai Minghe kowtowed to his grandmother, how can he be!" Bai Minghe kowtowed three times, and the old lady couldn't stop crying. The two daughters-in-law persuaded her. Bai Minghe couldn't get up yet, so she knelt down and turned around. He kowtowed heavily in front of Bai Chongxi: "Son kowtow to his father, how can he be!"
"Unfilial son, do you know how many nights your grandmother has been crying in tears? Do you know how many times your mother has cried?" Bai Chongxi raised his hand and slapped Bai Minghe.
The slap in the face made Bai Minghe swollen half of his face.
It doesn't hurt, but it feels warm in my heart.
"You rebellious son, you will be angry to death!" A vine fell on Bai Chongxi, and the old lady scolded: "He'er returned home in glory. You hit him as soon as you meet him, and you hit me!" Bai Chongxi dared to resist, and was beaten by his mother with his head in his arms. Bai Minghe felt extremely happy in his heart. He knelt on the ground and smiled foolishly, crying and laughing. Such a warm scene had been dreamt of, and had only dreamed of it in his previous life.
Outside the door, Bai Minghe and his uncles were all secretly having fun.
And further apart, Jin Jie and Du Shuangyu were making a trap for County Magistrate Li. Du Shuangyu was holding some evidence that County Magistrate Li received gifts. This was the threat of Hong Guoguo. Jin Jie said to County Magistrate Li: "My adoptive father is the chief seal of the Sili Supervisor. If you have a wink, you will be promoted to Xi'an Prefecture in the next assessment!"
"Yes, yes, the lower officials naturally have a wink!" County Magistrate Li had no roots and no support. To him, this was not a threat, but a thigh was sent to him and hugged him.
In the main hall, Bai family 4, Bai Chongming asked in a low voice: "Second brother, who is that child?"
"This... is very big!" Bai Chongyuan naturally knew who Zhu Jianshen was, but he knew how big his nephew had done in the capital.
Just as I was about to explain, I heard a scream coming from the front yard: "The prince is gone, the little prince is gone."
This shout made Bai Mansion explode.
One hundred Jinyiwei quickly surrounded the entire Bai family courtyard. Wu Bin rushed into the mansion with fifty people, and immediately put the knife around the necks of the two maids: "Say..."
"Stop!" Bai Fu shouted loudly, and all the panicked people stopped.
Wu Bin quickly walked to Bai Fu and followed respectfully. Bai Fu said again: "There are people guarding you around. A four-year-old child can run there. Put away the knife and let the maids look for him in the mansion. Don't scare His Highness the King of Yi. Go quickly!" Bai Fu's instructions, the maids brought by Bai Minghe immediately started looking for children with the women in the Bai family compound.
There is no need to explain this, and I also know that the child is a prince.
The old lady didn't care about beating Bai Chongxi anymore. A prince had something to do at his own home. That would be a serious crime to exterminate the clan.
On the contrary, Bai Minghe was not nervous at all. He stood at the door and shouted: "Huaiyu, go and pull that kid out."
Many people went out together and soon found the little guy. At this time, Zhu Jianshen was stealing his mouth in the Bai Family Ancestral Hall, and he was not alone. He was being accompanied by a girl with two pigtails, wearing a red jacket, and like a doll.
Being captured alive scared Zhu Jianshen.
When the adults came, the little girl blocked Zhu Jianshen: "I did this. I, Bai Yinglan, Guanzhong, is well-educated and etiquette, and is very righteous. The most important thing is to be a person. One person does things, is it a man to do it? Or is it a punishment for copying the three-character classic? I, Bai Yinglan, took it alone."
Most of the people present were petrified.
Bai Minghe's rhetoric turned out to be traditional. The tone of this four-year-old girl from the Bai family was exactly the same as that of Bai Minghe at that time.
Zhu Jianshen looked at the person blocking him, his eyes full of stars. Worship! When he saw the teacher in the capital, there were such outstanding people here, and she was still protecting me. Zhu Jianshen was moved, worshiped and moved. He was so proud of his heart that he had been marching and strode forward: "The teacher said that men should stand tall and stand tall. I ate this fruit. I would be punished. I just have to bear it. I have to pay for the fruit. The teacher has money."
The first half of the sentence is still full of momentum. When the teacher later had money, many people couldn't help laughing.
"Come here, wash the black on your face first." Bai Minghe waved his hand and ran over immediately as Zhu Jianshen did before. But now hesitated: "Teacher, don't punish her."
"You go wash your face and hands together, let you eat your snacks today!"
After receiving Bai Minghe's reply, Zhu Jianshen stretched out his hand and pulled Bai Yinglan: "Let's go have a snack, the teacher's snack is the best."
"Let's go!" Bai Yinglan knew that she had escaped, so she ran away quickly.
"The miscellaneous family will arrange the imperial chef!" Jin Jie also responded and ran away quickly. It is not a big deal for Jin Jie to be so tired. No eunuchs assigned to the Yi Prince's Mansion are really responsible for the affairs and can take care of everyone.
Du Shuangyu winked at Wu Bin, Yang Xin, Yang Yi and others, and the four of them kowtowed to Bai Minghe's grandmother: "I've greeted you with my wife."
"Hurry, get up!" The old lady quickly helped her up herself.
These dolls seem to be not old, but the old lady also knows that these four people are real sixth-rank military positions. They are more important than the county magistrate in Mei County.
"You should arrange for the servants to set up a stove and start the fire. Then come to the mansion to taste the delicious food in Guanzhong." Bai Minghe drove the four people out, and the four people responded happily: "Then we're going."
"Are you more than them?" Bai Chongxi asked afterwards.
"I was convinced by virtue. I followed Bai Minghe to eat meat and drink wine in big bowls. So they listened..." Before Bai Minghe finished speaking, he was patted on his head, and Bai Chongxi had a dark face: "There are all elders here. Are you talking like this? Why don't you apologize!"
Bai Chongyuan smiled and waved his hand: "No, Minghe is even more crazy in the capital, just be respectful."
Bai Chongxiu beat Bai Minghe because he was afraid that his brothers would be unhappy. Bai Chongyuan didn't care about it anymore, and he was considered a step behind.
Back in the main hall, Bai Chongyuan asked, "My mother, has the enthronement of the court been here?"
"It's because of this, the clan elders of the clan proposed to build a ancestral hall and build a archway. Our Bai family in Guanzhong has a long face this time. He'er's plaque with a long pen pen has to be hung alone. I'm afraid that it's not enough to just expand the ancestral hall." The old lady said.
The Bai Family Master Hall is naturally divided into generations and seats.
Bai Minghe sat in the second seat of the third generation because he was already a seventh-rank official, and the first one was Bai Mingqi, the eldest grandson of the Bai family.
Several old clans sitting in the head were speaking, just that whether it was the clan or the other family, the Bai family had money and strength to contribute. It would be at least 50% larger than the current scale. In addition, the house must be built with blue bricks and a primary school must be built to borrow the Bai family to study.
The white-known crane sat without moving.
The first time that Bai Minghe participated in the clan meeting of the Ming Dynasty, he was able to have a seat, which also represented his identity.
Among the peers, many people are still standing in the head of the main hall. At least they have the qualifications of scholars and talent.
Finally, Bai Chongyuan spoke: "Minghe, what do you want to say?"
"I don't know how much land our Bai family has and how big the land used to build ancestral halls is?" Bai Minghe asked. Bai Chongshan replied: "The government also has rules for the land for ancestral halls. However, the prominent family is more relaxed, but the construction is too large and the silver required is also needed."
"I have brought the craftsmen to the statue in the middle of the palace. The red pillars in front of the door have been given the red paint in the palace. At present, I have purchased a hundred-foot red silk. The only ones are left are only eighteen filial sons who carry the beams. This is what the county has to prepare for the case."
The white-known crane said to himself.
"What are you talking about? You can't understand a word for being a father!" Bai Chongxi asked.
He wasn't asking randomly, 87 feet a square foot, and there was no official in his family, who would dare to build such a large ancestral hall? Any disrespect is enough for you to destroy the clan. And if you think a hundred feet of red silk is red, you think it's a red thread, and these red silks cost at least twenty taels of silver.
"Sun Hu!" Bai Minghe shouted softly.
When Sun Hu came in, Bai Minghe ordered: "Go to the wife's place to get the imperial edict."
"Son-in-law, that imperial edict?" Sun Hu had to ask. Sun Yuanjun had several imperial edicts in his box.
Bai Minghe thought about it and said that Sun Hu might not know the name, so he said: "Sandalwood shaft, Cangyun crane brocade!"
Sun Hu responded, turned around and was about to run to get it.
Chapter completed!
