Little People of Cultivation

Bai Ling, the seventh young master of the Bai family, the second son of the current head of the Bai family, twelve years old, was born at the age of 40 by the current head of the Bai family, so he loves him like a treasure.

Because the eldest son has already invited him to be crowned son, he is 17 years older than him, so the favored status of the seventh young master is unshakable, and it really hurts to be held in the hands of the whole family.

It is natural that Bai Ling is spoiled arrogantly and recklessly, but because of his good appearance and not having the bad habits of most dandies, he is deeply favored by the queen mother and the present, so he has a good reputation.He was admitted to Baichuan Academy at a young age, and last year the royal hunt even personally hunted a tiger, so these days in the capital are very beautiful.

Maybe it's because Bai's father got married and had children relatively late, but Bai Moran and this seventh young master of the Bai family are actually in the same generation, and they can be regarded as cousins ​​who are not too far away.

But even if Bai Moran and Bai Ling are close relatives, the status of the two is very different. As the son of a country gentleman, even with the surname Bai, if there is no great opportunity, Bai Moran will always be a small person , he would never have any interaction with the children of a family like Bai Ling, so Bai Moran, who was very self-aware, threw that handsome young man behind him, and focused on his little brother.

After finally coming to the capital, how can we not have a good time?

While calling his younger brother to eat with concern, Bai Moran began to recall the information he had read about the capital and its vicinity, and began to design his own travel plan. Anyway, no matter how busy the ancestor worship was, he would not let a seven-year-old The child stepped in to help.

On the other hand, Bai Ling has already returned to his own mansion. The Patriarch of the Bai family has the title of Duke of Zhen Guo. On the black plaque directly above, there are only two simple gold characters of Baijia.

Returning home from the side door, Bai Ling did not return to his yard, nor did he go to the inner house to greet his mother, but directly broke into the study of his father, Bai Lin, the head of the Bai family. Even if this behavior was not in line with etiquette, the guards guarding the gate only symbolically stopped him, and the seventh young master gave him two lashes before letting him go.

Bai Lin was discussing something in a low voice with his son and his confidants when the door was pushed open and a person barged in arrogantly. Lin laughed.

"Ling'er, why did you come back so soon? Why don't you go wash up first? Such a dusty appearance is not in line with the etiquette of the family?" Although Bai Lin gave such instructions, the doting eyes in his eyes were deceitful. Inhuman.

Bai Ling raised his head, his eyes were full of pride and displeasure. "Why did my father call me back so early? It's just for ancestor worship. I can come back the same day. Why so many days earlier? It made me miss Mr. Baichuan's seminar."

Mr. Baichuan is the founder and head of the Baichuan Academy. He is a famous Confucianist all over the world, and the skills of his first disciples are even more impressive. Not to mention that several of Mr. Baichuan's personal disciples are all amazing and beautiful. The great talents in the world are those who have graduated from Baichuan Academy for more than 20 years, and even the number of Sanding Jia is admirable.This is also the reason why Baikan Academy is admired by people.

"It's just a seminar, if you miss this one, there will be another one." Bai Lin's eyes flashed disapproval, even if Baichuan Academy has been highly respected in recent years, even if Mr. Baichuan is also a respected Confucian, but in the eyes of their big family patriarch It's just that in their eyes, and it's not worth their attention. Only the patriarch of a real aristocratic family can understand what is truly powerful and what is the real foundation.

"Besides, if you are lucky, Mr. Baichuan may not be seen by you again."

Bai Ling narrowed his eyes, and felt that his father had something to say. Although it sounded arrogant to others, he, who knew his father well, could hear the strong confidence.

The eldest son couldn't help but smile, the deep meaning of his father's words, besides his father present, I am afraid that only he, the heir of the family who has experienced ancestor worship once, can understand it, but it is a pity that he does not have this luck, and I am afraid that he will be like his father in the future. Inherit this small Bai family, but cannot touch the wider sky.Thinking of this, I can see the indescribable envy in my younger brother who is smart since childhood and has visions. People are different.

Bai Ling seemed to have sensed it, and turned to look at his eldest brother, and immediately trembled unbearably, "Brother, why are you looking at me like this? Could it be that second brother provoked you again?"

The second elder brother that Bai Ling said was named Bai Huilan, and it was a rule of the Bai family to use single characters to show their preciousness.

Bai Dan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "It's useless for him to provoke you any more. Although you are a descendant, you won't have the chance to inherit the family from the moment you were born."

There was a hint of envy in his tone, and a trace of resentment was added to the look in his eyes when he looked at Bai Ling, which made Bai Ling shiver again.

I don't know about other families, but this Bai family has very strange family rules.

The position of Patriarch of the Bai family can only be inherited by the patriarch's descendants, and the patriarch's wife can only marry the descendants of the Murong, Nangong, Li or Lin families, and the parents of these descendants must also be descendants of the four major families.

Once the wife is not the direct descendant of these four families, the children born will not have the right to inherit the family.

If the family does not have a son born by a descendant, even if there are many sons born by a concubine, if there is a daughter born by a descendant, he can only recruit the descendants of the four families for this daughter, and the son born has the right to inherit the family.

If there is no direct son, then the family can only adopt the direct son of its own direct brother, and the mother of the direct son must also be the direct daughter of those four families.

If the Patriarch has no direct brothers or the direct brothers have no direct children, then the Patriarch can only adopt the direct descendants who are closest to them, and the person's mother must also be the direct daughters of those four families.

Such strange family rules made the sons of the Bai family's concubines become treasures, and the sons of the concubines became grass on the ground. Even if they would not be treated harshly materially, they would have no status in the eyes of the patriarch as the father.

This made Bai Ling's second elder brother resentful, and since Bai Ling was sensible, he began to provoke the relationship between him and his elder brother.But because of reasons he didn't know, his elder brother never had any doubts about him.
