Chapter 93: Bai Yuchen
As expected, Bai Xiao followed Bai Zhendong into Baixian Village not long after, he walked along the bluestone path to a pond and met an old man in his seventies and white bearded face.
The old man was wearing a white shirt and was sitting leisurely on the bridge not far from the entrance of the village and chatting with the elderly of the same age.
This old man is a uncle of Bai Xiao, who is of the same generation as Grandpa Bai Xiao. Strictly speaking, Bai Xiao's family is still Bai Xiao's family.
The family heritage of the Bai family has lasted for more than 600 years since the ancestor Bai Zixiao moved to Baixian Mountain. As the storyteller said, "The king lives in the Central Plains." Of course, there are capable people in the Bai family's position as the head of the family, and the actual situation is indeed the case. Over the past six hundred years, the position of the head of the family has been replaced several times in several branches.
Since Bai Xiao’s generation of Emperor Gaozu, also known as the “Madam Grandpa”, the head of the family has changed to the line where Bai Xiao is, and has been passed down. Therefore, since the generation of Emperor Grandpa, the same line may be called the family and belongs to a relatively close relative.
Of course, Bai Xiao recognized this old man. When she was a child, she often went to his house to eat for free. However, at this time, she remembered her father's request just now, so she just followed Bai Zhendong and did not say anything.
Of course, this uncle saw Bai Zhendong and started talking to Bai Zhendong in a healthy manner. Later, he saw Bai Xiao next to him and laughed: "Zhendong, why did he kidnap such a beautiful little girl back after not seeing her for a while? She wouldn't be your illegitimate daughter, right?"
Bai Zhendong looked back at Bai Xiao and smiled and said, "How can he be an illegitimate child? He must be his own child!"
"Okay, you've added more people to our Bai family." The uncle laughed. Although the so-called illegitimate child and his biological child are both their own seeds, there are differences in the inheritance of etiquette and law.
The Bai family is a big family and has its own ancestral property. Therefore, when each family member is over 22 years old, he can receive a inheritance separated from the ancestral property by the clan elders of the family based on actual conditions, which is considered as a gift when "dividing up the family". However, the ratio of illegitimate children and their biological children is different. After all, although it is recognized that illegitimate children are also children of the Bai family, the Bai family does not encourage illegitimate children to behave like this.
Speaking of which, Bai Xiao will be twenty-two years old in a few months, and then she will be able to obtain her own inheritance. So at this time, she should be recognized by her identity by the family, which is at least very important in terms of giving gifts from the family.
Seeing that Bai Zhendong was still chatting with his uncle, Bai Xiao was idle and walked to the edge of the bridge alone.
Below is a pond, with tender green lotus leaves floating on the surface, and a few beautiful lotus flowers blooming in the green, a poetic and picturesque feeling.
Bai Xiao even saw a few little ducks of color standing on the wide lotus leaves, putting their beaks into the water, rinsing their mouths, looking cute.
The flower ducks are free of mud and they always walk slowly before the steps.
Feathers know independence, black and white are too distinct.
I thought of these lines of poetry inexplicably in my mind. She smiled slightly, and her whole mood suddenly became clear with the beautiful scenery in front of me.
The environment of Baixian Village is handled very beautifully. After hundreds of years of precipitation, various layouts have become very particular, with various landscape potted plants and pond rockery everywhere. With the scattered courtyards and relatively unified ancient architectural style, it has a kind of imagination space that is slowly walking in the garden landscape. Living here gives people a feeling of relaxed and relaxed mood.
Bai Xiao was looking at the pond when he suddenly heard Bai Zhendong calling him over there, and walked over to her and said, "Dad, what's the matter?"
"Come on, let your uncle see it." Bai Zhendong said, showing off a show-off smile on his face.
"Uncle."
Bai Xiao screamed softly, but he felt a little suspicious. He didn't know how his father told his uncle about her and whether he had told him that he was Bai Xiao.
"Oh, it's such a beautiful little girl. I'll just say, your Xiaoxiao has been pretty since she was a child, but she didn't expect that she was such a beautiful female..."
His eyes stayed on Bai Xiao's body for a while, and his uncle nodded constantly, and then his big hand covered with old age gullies grabbed Bai Xiao's hand and looked at it.
"Well, it's pretty good, it's even more beautiful than my granddaughter!"
My uncle patted her hand intimately, "Xiaoxiao, be a girl in the future. My uncle told you that our Bai family is not in ancient times. I am not willing to favor boys over girls. Taizu said it well. It is the same for a boy or a girl. After a few years, how about uncle finding you a good husband?"
The bend turned a little fast, Bai Xiao coughed lightly, and declined gracefully without losing his composure: "Thank you uncle for your concern, I haven't thought so far yet."
The uncle was stunned for a moment, laughed loudly, and said to Bai Zhendong: "Hahaha, your child must be shy."
Bai Xiao glanced at her helpless look and shrugged her shoulders at Bai Zhendong.
In fact, she also knew that her uncle was full of care for her, but introducing Ruyi Langjun and other things would be too leaps and bounds.
The old man is always keen on being a matchmaker. He just saw Bai Xiao, his granddaughter, and he was thinking about this beautiful cabbage in the future.
Farewell to this uncle who is considered to be his own family, but his blood relationship is relatively estranged, Bai Xiao followed Bai Zhendong to the ancestral hall of the Bai family.
The Bai Family Ancestral Hall is located at the core of Baixian Village and is built along the mountain. There are buildings like bunkers guarding each other in front, back, left and right. However, you can see the very grand buildings of the main hall from a distance.
When he arrived at the ancestral hall, Bai Xiao saw the uncle who had been waiting there and the young man who came with him to greet him - the uncle's eldest son, Bai Xiao's cousin, Bai Yuchen!
"Zhendong, you are here. This is Xiaoxiao." Bai Zhenye greeted him and his eyes immediately moved to Bai Xiao.
He looked at the fresh and fashionable girl in front of him in surprise. A surprise flashed in Bai Zhenye's eyes. Although he had seen Bai Xiao's appearance in women's clothing in the photo, he saw the real person with his own eyes. The temperament revealed in reality is difficult to present in the photo.
What a girl with excellent temperament!
"Uncle."
Seeing that the uncle was looking at him, Bai Xiao shouted with a coy face.
"Hey, okay!" Bai Xiao's scream made him feel very happy, and a smile appeared on his face.
Then he turned to Bai Yuchen beside him, and Bai Xiao also called out: "Brother."
Bai Yuchen is a handsome young man. At the age of 25 today, he is already a master at the end of the Yuantai period. He is about to enter the Yuantai realm and is one of the few young talents in the Bai family.
Because he grew up with the halo for a long time, he was a very outstanding player in the third generation and one of the powerful competitors of the future head of the family. Bai Yuchen developed a gentle, humble, and unpretentious character since childhood. In the words of his younger sister-in-law Bai Xia, it was too dull, not funny at all, and had no meaning to play with him.
Of course, Bai Yuchen is not a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties after all. Because of his success in his youth, he is inevitable that he has a little aloofness in his heart, but it is not as dull as Bai Xia imagined.
Usually, Bai Xiao plays well with this cousin, knowing that although the family has devoted great efforts to cultivate it, such a generous external environment has not made Bai Yuchen proud of being superior. Instead, the more he knows the ups and downs of the Spirit Realm, the more he gives her cousin a more humble side. At least in terms of temperament, Bai Yuchen undoubtedly has the ability to become the leader.
