Once magnificent, now brilliant

Bai Guanyou sat drinking tea in the living room, accompanied by Mrs. Bai.She didn't agree with what the uncle did, but she was the daughter-in-law of the second house, so she really had no control over the affairs of the eldest house's family, and the two families had already separated, so it was even more inconvenient for her to talk.But also because the family has been separated, the matter of the eldest family has nothing to do with them, but now that the eldest family is going to marry the eldest prince, even if their second wife is not involved, will others think so?Others will only feel that they have already leaned on the side of the First Prince.In addition, the old lady is still there, even if the family is separated, it will not be completely separated.

Mrs. Bai sighed softly, "Don't worry, there is no room for turning this matter around. You might as well go to the fourth prince's mansion and explain the situation of our family clearly, so that the fourth prince will be less suspicious."

Bai Guanyou frowned, "I have supported the fourth prince for these years, I can trust the fourth prince's character, even if I don't explain the fourth prince, I will not be suspicious. It's just that according to the previous situation, if the first prince or the third prince sits in that position, it will be a disaster." Maybe it’s only our room, and the mother’s side has a way to survive. Now it seems that it’s not necessarily the case, the eldest brother insists on getting involved, and Ruowei is just a concubine, and no one will get involved if she grabs my business and implicates the whole family Objection. And if the fourth prince ascends the throne, we can still live well, but with the relationship between the elder brother and the eldest prince, it is not an exaggeration to be convicted and exiled. When the time comes, the mother will be exiled with her. Fate?"

Zuo Zuo and their family are all traps, and Bai Shangli has trapped the whole family in by himself.

Madam Bai didn't think that far at first, but now it seems that it is true.Even if it's lucky that the fourth prince doesn't exile the eldest brother's family, Bai Ruowei will definitely follow the eldest prince.Even if the eldest prince dies, Bai Ruowei will be sent to the border areas in the name of her family members.At that time, the uncle's family will definitely come to ask them to ask for help. Is this kind of request or not?Seeking to lose the heart of the emperor, not seeking to lose the heart of the emperor.

The butler came in with a smile on his face, "Master, Madam, the young master and young master are back."

Bai Guanyou and Mrs. Bai quickly cheered up and said, "Let them go directly to the master's study, where there is a charcoal basin burning to keep it warm."

"Yes." The butler responded and went.

Mrs. Bai laughed and said, "It came back suddenly, and I didn't ask the kitchen to prepare Wen Jing's favorite dishes."

Bai Guanyou gathered his clothes, "It's such a coincidence to come back, I'm afraid I heard something."

"That's why I came back because of worry."

"That's right, let's go, don't keep the two children waiting."

Bai Guanyou's study is the same as a normal general's study, you are not allowed to enter casually. In the past, only Mrs. Bai and Bai Junyu could come in and out at will, but now there is Qi Xiang.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?" After entering the door, Mrs. Bai pulled Qi Xiang to look at her, "That's right, you look better than when we saw you last time."

Qi Xiang didn't want to make the atmosphere so serious as soon as he came back, so he also responded with a smile, "Uncle's armor is ready to be strung together, and when the weather is fine today, bring it to Uncle to try."

Bai Guanyou regained his energy and wanted to watch it right away.

Bai Ru brought the box in, Madam Bai helped Bai Guanyou to try it on, and it fit very well.

"Not bad, not bad. I'll go to the barracks to make gestures tomorrow." Bai Guanyou said happily.

Mrs. Bai reminded: "It's not easy for a child to do this, don't let it slip, it will be difficult to deal with later."

"Don't worry, I still know this in my heart." Things that shouldn't be shown off are too ignorant, and they will cause trouble for the upper body.

The servant girl served tea, and Bai Guanyou took off the armor and put it away carefully, without any trace of the previous sadness.

Bai Junyu asked, "I heard that uncle has come?"

Speaking of this, Bai Guanyou's interest dropped again, "Who talked so much to you?"

"You must tell me about the family affairs. What's your father's plan?" Bai Junyu asked.

Bai Guanyou sighed, and told them what he had just analyzed with Mrs. Bai.

"Uncle dug a sinkhole for our Bai family. He will fall down no matter how he walks. We step on the square inch between the two pits, just to see which one we fall into." Bai Junyu didn't understand, did he climb up? Gao Zhi must be a good thing, don't you need to think about other things?

?To the extent that a person can be short-sighted, it doesn't matter if he cheats himself, but also hurts others.

"Since the date has been set, the emperor must know it. We have no reason to stop it. Your uncle obviously wants to publicize the matter by opening the door for a banquet. To him, it is to give himself face, but to the eldest prince , but it is a good time to embarrass our position to the outside world." Bai Guanyou really hates this kind of brainless thing, but his mother is still there, and he can't tear himself apart with his elder brother, otherwise people will only spread him as unfilial , it is not good for Bai Junyu.

The study fell silent, and Mrs. Bai was also worried - what should I do about the makeup?

In Dachuan, when a woman is a regular wife, she can open the door to invite her relatives and acquaintances to add make-up, which is a festive event.Even if a woman is a side concubine, although it is not easy to open the door like a regular wife, relatives will choose a day when the family eats and add a dowry as a congratulation.But for concubines, there is no such saying. At most, close relatives will add some pictures to make a good fortune, and most of them will not give them away.

The question now is whether she will add it or not, and how to give this gift?

As Bai Ruowei is a concubine, she shouldn't have to send too much.But the old lady is still here, and she is obviously satisfied with this marriage. The uncle's family is so high-profile, and she is not polite. Don't tell others, the old lady must have annoyed her first.But if this gift is generous, doesn't it mean that they were approved by the North General's Mansion and pushed them directly to the First Prince's faction?

After drinking a cup of tea, Qi Xiang's body warmed up, and then he said: "Uncle and aunt don't have to be too difficult, this marriage will definitely not be stopped, the best result is with the emperor, you still don't stand in line, with the ministers , you also have an attitude that has nothing to do with the matter. No matter how partial the emperor is to the eldest prince, he may not be willing to see him forming a clique. As long as the emperor is the emperor for a day, he naturally hopes that everyone's hearts will be towards him. The position, we will all suffer, so there is no need to say more. But if the fourth prince sits in that position, a group of ministers must not make a fuss about this matter, pick your faults, and embarrass you. The next step is to lose the emperor Heart."

Qi Xiang's meaning is very simple, that is, General Fengbei draws a clear line with the White Mansion, you don't need to say it clearly, but if others can see that this marriage has nothing to do with General Fengbei's mansion, they are just outsiders.Only in this way can it be prevented to the greatest extent that someone will use this matter to provoke in the future, which will be detrimental to General Fengbei.

Bai Guanyou immediately asked: "What good idea do you have?"

"It's not a good way, I have to make my wife work harder, but this is the best way at the moment." Qi Xiang said.

Mrs. Bai hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if I work harder, the long-term plan is more important."

"What's the way, just tell me." Bai Junyu felt that he should have expected that since Qi Xiang said he would come, there was a way.

Seeing that Bai Junyu didn't touch the cup of tea, Qi Xiang took it over and warmed his hands, "Madam Bai is still here, so I have to continue to show the Bai family face, otherwise no one can bear the unfilial hat. But if uncle The aunt is not in the capital, so there is no way to attend the banquet. Others can understand that the two of you have serious business to do, or that you don't agree with this marriage at all. Either way, you must make it impossible for others to be here Make a fuss about this matter and take the initiative in our own hands."

Bai Guanyou leaned forward, "How can it be justified that you are not in Beijing, not attending a banquet?"

Qi Xiang relaxed just like at home, and didn't talk so much about etiquette. After drinking half a cup of tea, he said, "The winter tour is coming soon. I wonder if the court has started a discussion? Uncle can take the initiative to ask for the winter tour, for the emperor. Share your worries."

The winter patrol is every winter, Beijing will send a team to various military camps to understand the situation after winter, and make records.According to the needs of each army, materials can be delivered in a targeted manner in the spring of next year.

There is no danger in this matter, but the journey is far away, and those who walk slowly will not even be able to return to Beijing for the New Year, and it is not a bit of credit, so most generals are unwilling to take this trip, and the candidates for the winter patrol every year are not very easy to decide. .

Bai Guanyou patted his thigh, "That's right! It was mentioned in the □□ hall today, but no one took the initiative to stand up. The emperor also knows that everyone wants to celebrate the New Year in Beijing, and he didn't force it. If I take the initiative to invite you, the emperor will definitely agree. "

This matter is not considered military merit, so the emperor naturally has no worries.Moreover, the team set off with light clothes, and the preparation time was only three to five days, and they could also take their wife with them, which was also tacitly accepted.In this way, he and his wife can leave Beijing in a legitimate manner without going to the banquet, and neither mother nor elder brother can find fault with him.And he was doing business for the imperial court, and no one else dared to talk nonsense.

"It's just that the journey is long and it's winter, so my aunt may not be used to it." This is Qi Xiang's only worry.

Mrs. Bai patted his hand, "What is this? If other wives can go, so can I. This way is good, we don't go, and the gifts are just as usual. My mother didn't tell me , This is leaving in a hurry, it's normal to be not well-prepared, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law can't say anything. But we have no problem here, what should we do? He still has to come when he stays in Beijing."

It is impossible for her husband and son to go together, and the emperor will not agree.

Qi Xiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. Jun Yu and I went to see you off when you set off. When you came back, you pretended to be sick and said you wanted to rest somewhere else. Please ask Jun Yu to take me there and pick out those who won't come back in about ten days. I happened to miss the banquet. Even if the Bai family was dissatisfied, at most they thought I had no winks, and I couldn't say anything else. It is more important for Miss Bai to be married, and the presence of Third Young Master Bai is more important. Jun Yu is a cousin, and the family has already been separated. It's also a banquet, and the main table can't even make it, so others won't care."

Madam Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and said with guilt and heartache: "It's hard for you after all. You have to run so far for family matters, can you bear it in your body?"

Qi Xiang smiled and nodded, "You don't have to worry, I feel better recently. Master has a hot spring village, the place is a little remote, but it's good to live for a few days in winter. I also take it as a relaxation, but I'm just asking for leave If it's been too long, the emperor may have to say a few words about Jun Yu."

Bai Guanyou waved his hand, "It's all trivial matters, there are no major issues in the court recently, so it doesn't matter if you ask for a few more days."

"Then let's decide like this." Madam Bai said with a smile: "I was still worried about the importance of the gift, but now I don't have to think about it. I will have someone pack my luggage later, and when the emperor agrees, we will leave Beijing immediately and avoid Avoid it last time."

Of course, Bai Junyu had no objection, it would not be a beautiful day to be able to stay together with Qi Xiang without being disturbed by anyone.
