Jianjia Chronicle

"You don't study hard, what are you doing here all the time?" Bo Ran frowned, and taught the boy in white clothes who was a lot taller than her in front of her.

The young boy looked helpless, but he still said patiently: "When the little uncle comes down, I will leave."

Following these words, and looking at Bo Ran's posture at this time, she is sitting on the railing of a hexagonal pavilion in the northwest corner of the garden, with her body facing outwards and her legs dangling in the air, shaking wildly.The foundation of the pavilion is quite high, there are five steps at the bottom, and the railing is as high as a person and a half from the ground.She was sitting like this, it was frightening to watch from a distance, and she was afraid that she would accidentally fall down.

Bai Ju originally wanted to take advantage of the beautiful spring to find a place with luxuriant trees and study hard for a while, but in the end, he ran into Uncle Bai who held on to the railing with one hand, raised her short legs high and Climb up the railing.He was startled, and blurted out: "Little uncle, what are you doing!"

The person who had climbed half way was shocked when he heard someone shouting behind him, and almost slipped down.Bai Ju made her break out in a cold sweat, and hurried forward, wanting to hug her down, not wanting to hear the footsteps approaching behind him, his little uncle seemed to have been stimulated to his potential, crawling with his hands and feet together Going up, turned over and sat up, looking at him very vigilantly.

It's not good to hug her.Bai Ju felt that although his seniority was lower than others, he was at least a few years older. It was not easy to ignore children climbing wildly, so he coaxed him very kindly: "Little uncle, it's not easy to climb like this here, I will hug you." come down."

As a result, after talking for a long time, people ignored him.He was dangling with short legs, as if he didn't exist at all.

Bai Ju was embarrassed, but when it happened, he couldn't just see her sitting in a dangerous place and leave as if nothing had happened, could he?I had to say a few more words.

So, Bo Ran finally paid attention to him, and said this very old-fashioned sentence, "You don't study hard, what are you doing here all the time?"

Being taught a lesson by a hairless kid, Bai Ju was really helpless, but he could only silently admit who made this kid's seniority higher than him, and had to answer with his hands down.

Bo Ran just wanted to be alone and quiet, so she finally got rid of a group of servants and found such a quiet place, but suddenly this nephew who didn't wink at all appeared to disturb her peace.

This Baiji is the son of the eldest grandson of Linzihou's concubine, and he came to the Houfu to study together with more than ten other side branch children a month ago.The age difference between the Marquis of Linzi and his elder brother is quite large. When he was appointed as the Duke, the third, fourth, and sixth got involved and wanted to compete with him.At that time, the fifth child stayed out of the matter, the two did not help each other, the seventh child died young, and only the brother-in-law stood on the side of the marquis of Linzi.Therefore, after the death of the concubine brother, the Marquis of Linzi took good care of his family.

Take care, take care, take care of people at home!Bo Ran glanced at Bai Ju, and said with a stern face, "What does your leaving have anything to do with my coming down? Just go if you are told to go, just do what your elders say, don't say anything more." Hurry up and go when you see me. Upset!

The intention to drive people away was so obvious, Bai Ju felt that if he didn't leave, the little guy would call him disobedient.The little uncle is Zaohui. He has seen it with his own eyes. When we first met, he was very kind and well-behaved.Why didn't I see you for a few days, and suddenly became arrogant.Bai Ju rubbed his nose, guessing that the little uncle would not be able to fall for a while, so he saluted hastily, stopped reading, and walked towards the path where the servants often come and go.

The annoying person is finally gone.Watching his back go away, Bo Ran felt a lot relieved.She is not an unreasonable person. Originally, children from these relatives were very welcome to come to school.

She understands the situation.

The family, the reason why it is a family, is not because of a certain person, its role is the entire clan, a clan with a surname is bound by the patriarchal law, the interests of the clan are the most important, and personal interests are the least important, to jointly maintain the prosperity of this surname.At the same time, the direct family head must also guarantee the development of the children in the clan.Under the joint action of the two parties, it is a very natural approach to ask the collateral descendants to study in the clan, to live in harmony with the direct descendant, and to fight for this surname together in the future.

The family has endowed them with a superior life and a broad horizon, and they will naturally have to work hard to repay all this.In addition to the Prime Minister of the Marquis of Linzi, the Bai family has dozens of clansmen both inside and outside the government and the field who are officials, large and small, and all clansmen must make progress.In order not to alienate the offspring and the direct line, but also to cultivate the next generation and prosper the family, the Marquis of Linzi ordered each family to send their eldest son to the mansion a few years ago. Bo Ran knew about this.

This is a thing with many benefits. She is not a child, so can she still have trouble with others for no reason?On the day they came, she received them with the Marquis of Linzi.

Bo Ran rested her chin sadly, her pink face revealed a sense of sadness, and because of her young age, the vicissitudes of life in this sadness seemed a little funny.

However, the bad thing is that she accidentally discovered another purpose of Marquis Linzi to find these people!

There is another big, unreasonable but real feature of this era-there is no imperial examination.To be an official depends on "recommendation", and the selection of talents depends on "recommendation" and "requisition".Under this system, some of the sons of aristocratic families with people at the top are well-known officials, but it is difficult for poor children. This is one of the reasons why aristocratic families are admired. They have accumulated wealth and resources for several generations, and their sons will have a future when they are born. ensure.

For example, Bo Ran, she was born with the vain position of the fourth grade due to her grandfather's shadow (this grandfather is the grandfather, and the shadow official is divided into the father's shadow and the ancestor's shadow).The fourth grade is normal, and most people may not be able to achieve it in a lifetime, but she was born with it.The starting point is higher than 90.00% of the [-] people in the world.A few years older, with the Marquis of Linzi paving the way, she will be able to enter the court smoothly and become an official.

Over the past few years, Bo Ran has clearly seen her own advantages, so she has relaxed a little bit from the initial painstaking determination to work hard—her family has a lot of power, and her life is absolutely smooth, so it is still urgent What?She can completely grow up as usual, and then walk on the already paved golden road.

Until one day the Marquis of Linzi took her to the family school to inspect the studies of the children of those relatives.The Marquis of Linzi ordered all the people accompanying him to be silent. He pointed at those people through the window and said to Bo Ran: "These people will depend on whether you can instruct them in the future." Only then did Bo Ran realize that this was not the case of.There is another set of scripts at the Marquis of Linzi.

The father's words didn't sound wrong at first, but when you think about it carefully, you can understand that there is a lot of meaning in it.She is a grandson, and she will definitely inherit the title in the future. These people are all descendants of the Bai family. At that time, as the head of the family at the helm, can she still control them?If there were no rules like this, each doing their own thing and not obeying orders, how could the Bai family be able to stand up like it is today, people would have already taken advantage of it.

Under what circumstances would she not be able to handle them?Bo Ran came to the conclusion very reluctantly, only when she could not be the patriarch or the next generation of Marquis of Linzi.At that time, she only felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet, piercing her whole body and heart.The extraordinarily warm sunlight outside shone on her body like ice and snow, both heavy and piercing.

If that day really comes, what will be waiting for her?Naturally, there will be no good results.She must disappear in this world. If the elder father takes pity on her and leaves her alone, she will hide her name;So, what happened after she disappeared?The Bai family needs an heir, and the best source of this heir is the best collateral descendant in this family.

Bo Ran couldn't help thinking, if she was a boy, would there be such twists and turns?Of course not.I'm really used to living a smooth life, and I almost forgot that she only concealed her identity to be this grandson. Once her identity may be exposed, or if she is not good enough, someone else will replace her.

After that day, Bo Ran was in a state of confusion and depression.Obviously she has always been unique, Linzi Marquis and even his descendants had asked to be established early, but now she suddenly came here, just like this, a bloody reality was poked in front of her.She is not as stable as she looks on the surface, the old man is already cultivating a spare tire.This bloody reality was discovered by her too keenly.

Really are…

Bo Ran sighed heavily.It's so annoying, she wants to live a good life, how can she be in danger of being replaced? !

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone approaching quickly in front of him.

Is it a luxury to even want to be alone?Bo Ran became even more irritable.When she raised her head, she saw that Xie Shi's usually calm face was full of restrained panic, and he was walking quickly with light steps. Beside her was Jin Niang, who was also light-footed, and there were crowds of people behind her. A group of maidservants arrived, all of them were nervous and frightened.

Seeing her looking over, Mrs. Xie hurriedly stopped, condensed her breath, tried to slow down her tone, and said: "Don't move, hold on to the railing, and wait for A Niang to come over." She supported Jin Niang's hand, and her voice continued Slow and trembling.

The moment Bo Ran saw Xie Shi, she knew that she was finished.Climbing and climbing without image will definitely be spanked by my mother...

Mrs. Xie paused for a while, seeing that Bo Ran didn't answer or move, she walked forward slowly, and when she got to the bottom of the pavilion, she didn't dare to scare Bo Ran, and seeing that Bo Ran was silent, she couldn't help but Worryingly called out: "Aran."

As soon as the servant came to report that Dalang had climbed up the railing of the gazebo in the northwest corner, she was terrified and rushed over in a hurry. The scene she saw with her own eyes was far more terrifying than what she heard.On the thin railing that was as tall as a person, Bo Ran sat there in a small group, shaking her legs constantly, making people feel that if she lost her balance, she would fall headfirst.Mrs. Xie didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of shocking her, she wanted to quietly go around to the pavilion and hug her down, but she didn't expect her to raise her head suddenly.

Bo Ran swallowed, squeezed out a smile that was said to be very innocent and cute, stretched out her arms, and said very childishly: "Aniang hug." She even leaned forward.

Xie's soul was about to scare her away, and said repeatedly: "Don't let go, don't let go."

Bo Ran hastily withdrew his hand, grabbed it back, retracted too quickly, his body swayed unsteadily, and Xie Shi was startled again so that his heart beat violently.

Seeing that she really caught her, Xie Shifang said: "You, don't move, I will come and carry you down."

Bo Ran nodded, be as obedient as possible, and strive for leniency.

Mrs. Xie whispered to Jinniang to protect her in front, and went around to the pavilion by herself.Jin Niang was also terrified, she stretched out her arms, and made a posture of picking up things on the ground.

Mrs. Xie went around behind Bo Ran, slowly encircled her small body, and when she was sure she was safe, she hugged her carefully and dragged her in.Bo Ran turned around and hugged Xie's neck affectionately, her small mouth was very sweet: "Mother, why are you here? I miss you so much~"

Mrs. Xie was just in shock, when she said this, she couldn't help but want to laugh again, her lips raised a little, and then drooped down again in a serious manner, saying that Bo Ran was holding on to him like a koala. Come down, put it on the ground, and said with a straight face: "Why did you climb up there?"

Bo Ran felt guilty.How should I answer? Could it be that because I found out that I was likely to be abandoned, I was so restless that I wanted to sit higher and enjoy the breeze?Certainly not.Bo Ran could only hang his head in silence, making a gesture of repentance.

Mrs. Xie originally wanted to teach her well, but from her appearance, she always felt that the child had something hidden in her heart, and it was not suitable to preach at this time, so she just said: "If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, there will be no next time." .”

Hearing the implication of these words was that he just let her go, Bo Ran couldn't help being surprised, and stared blankly at Mrs. Xie.This is not like her mother's style.Seeing her dumbfounded appearance, Mrs. Xie couldn't help worrying, is it because the schoolwork is too tight during this time, driving the child stupid?
