Chapter 504 Reunion
What Emperor Ren likes most is knowledgeable and knowledgeable old ministers like Bai Xiang.
At that time, he was new to the position. Although he was not young, and his descendants and subordinates were well established, his wings were not yet full.
So having Bai Xiang supporting him in the middle of the court protected him from a lot of wind and rain.
In the past two years, the affairs of the court have been considered stable, and he has gradually become more comfortable in handling them. What he was afraid of was that someone would hinder him, so when he was thinking about how to divide and disintegrate the old ministers in a reasonable way, Prime Minister Bai gave him a note on his resignation and retirement. .
Although anyone with a clear eye can see that he is making way for his grandson, a veteran of the Four Dynasties, compared with a young boy who is just starting out, is a smart person who knows what choice to make.
Therefore, although Emperor Ren did not approve it according to the instructions, he had already ordered people to start building the plaque.
In any case, with Prime Minister Bai's current status, even if he is not in the court, he must be treated with respect, otherwise it will affect his whole body.
Not to mention that there are still descendants in his family who are in the court, even the scholars in the world are watching with wide eyes.
The new emperor's approach to his old ministers has always been a double-edged sword.
If it is done well, everyone will be happy; if it is not done well, it will be mean and unkind.
No one in power wants to leave such a bad mark on their reputation, so Emperor Ren paid special attention to this matter.
In the small courtyard, everything is the same as before, but everything is new.
Mrs. Lin was afraid that her son would be uncomfortable, so she added things to the house.
When Bai Shan came home, he was almost overwhelmed by her enthusiasm.
Mom, thats enough. If we add more, the house wont be able to fit in. How can I ask my son to study?
Yes, yes, my son is right. What about the mother asking them to move away again?
"Don't worry about it, it's fine as it is. Mother, please sit down and have a rest, and let your son kowtow to you and your father."
After hearing what he said, Mrs. Lin realized that her master was still there, so she looked back at him and saw that he was fine, so she could sit down.
Bai Shan has been doing this for three years and is now about seventeen years old.
Waiting for the imperial examination, if you pass the exam, you will be an official in the court, so the days when you can be a son to the two of you are not many.
There were so many people present just now that Bai Shanwei couldn't say many words, but now he spoke sincerely.
"Mother, when Mr. and Mrs. Qiao passed away, their son was not at home. You took the trouble to deal with it. Before coming back, my son took a detour to see it. The repairs were very good. They took care of their son for most of his life. How can he have such good feng shui after leaving? The place to rest is all the mother's good deeds. The son thanked the mother for them."
After speaking, he kowtowed and then continued.
"My mother's longevity tablet has also been moved to Fahua Temple. My son heard from his cousin that it is being worshiped every day. I think my mother can feel at ease underground. This is also the mother's contribution. My son must also thank his mother."
After saying this, she kowtowed again. Mrs. Lin was anxious to help him up, but Bai Dalang told her not to be anxious and to listen carefully to what her son said.
"People outside say that my son only became your heir when he was nearly fourteen years old. No matter how close we are in the future, there will always be a layer of separation. At first, my son thought so too, thinking that if I were not the only male in the family, my father, mother, and even Will my grandfather still have high hopes for me? He always has other thoughts in his mind."
These are his true feelings, and a few words brought him back to the time when Brother Dou was just born.
"When Xiaodouzi was born, I knew that I had a younger brother. I was more than happy but also afraid that this serious legitimate son would surpass me and replace me. I was afraid that my father and mother would never be together again. If you value me and care about me, then the home I have finally found will become a dream again. At that time, I couldnt sleep for a long time, and I was so angry that I had to make more achievements so that you would not be disappointed. , you can still remember me..." "Si Ming..."
Mrs. Lin burst into tears when she heard this. She thought that her son was careless and would not think about such things, but she didn't expect that he would be so caring.
"Later I realized how confused my thoughts were. Even though I had a younger brother, my mother still treated me as if she were one of her own. My grandfather and father would send me letters home every half a month, reminding me how to behave and do things every day, even if I haven't been able to do anything in the past three years. Cheng Huan is at my knees, but your care and love for me have never been less. My son feels guilty for mistaking you with such thoughts. In the future, even if there is a knife from the sky, my son will not doubt you one bit again. Please rest assured, father and mother, that my son will definitely respect you two elders, take care of his brothers and sisters, and bring glory to the Bai family."
After saying this, he kowtowed three times. When he got up again, his eyes were full of clarity.
"Okay, okay, you can express your feelings to us so frankly, you treat us as a family. As a father, I can rest assured. My father is about to get old. When you win the exam, this court will be yours and mine again. In the war situation, the Bai family shares weal and woe."
Yes, my son understands.
After the conversation started, the relationship between the family of three became even stronger than before.
In the evening, when Bai Sihan took her husband home for a reunion dinner, the scene when the two brothers and sister met again was a bit like a world away.
Bai Sihan's husband now has a small official position in the Ministry of Rites. Although he is not comparable to those high-ranking officials in Dongdu City, her life now is really satisfactory.
There are no constraints from parents-in-law above, and no ties from sisters-in-law below. However, in the court, with the help of the princess's palace and the care of the Bai family and Prince Kang's palace, life goes smoothly and peacefully.
Her husband is also very competitive, and he agrees with her very well.
After so many years, I have become more and more confused.
No, the child has just turned one year old and there is something in the belly again.
If she hadn't heard the news about Bai Shanwei's return today, she probably wouldn't have planned to go out.
"elder brother."
Second sister.
The two of them were not that familiar when they were at home, and there were also grievances between their elders. If you want to say that they are close, they are not very close.
On the other hand, Bai Sihans husband-in-law was sweet-tongued. When he came up, he saluted respectfully and called out, Brother, just like in the opera.
It made everyone laugh.
The whole family had a happy reunion dinner, and Princess Wen Yi even expressed emotion at the dinner.
When Siruo and the others come back with their children, that will be a real family reunion.
Lin calculated the days and comforted her.
Its almost time. They left at the end of May and agreed to come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Dont worry.
When Brother Dou heard this, he didn't care about anything else. He only cared that his nephew, who was a few months younger, was coming back. He clapped his hands with joy and wanted to leave some of his favorite pastries for him.
