Chapter 343: Baijia Mixin (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone~)
Although Ye Anlan felt that Bai Qingzhi's concubine sister was probably bad and stupid, she still felt that she couldn't speak too bluntly.
and Ye Anlan have different understandings of the four words "too straightforward" Mrs. Bai:
After a long silence, Mrs. Bai finally spoke with great difficulty, "It's both bad and stupid."
After saying this, Mrs. Bai, who had always followed the rules, suddenly felt very miraculously happy and relaxed, as if something that had been restraining her had been snapped with a bang, making her so light that she could dance with the wind catkins.
Ye Anlan was also strangely silent for a while, she raised her head, met Mrs. Bai's eyes, and then the two women laughed very abruptly and knowingly face to face.
Enough of laughing, Ye Anlan coughed, "Master Hou didn't mention her, is it because if you tell her the news, she will most likely expose you by 'killing relatives'?"
Madam Bai, who had tasted the sweetness of letting herself go, nodded, and began to talk to Ye Anlan about a secret of the Bai family.
"This girl is actually not our old master's biological daughter."
"Her father is a seventh-rank military general under the command of our old Hou Ye. In a battle with the Hu people, he helped our old Hou Ye block a cold arrow shot by the Hu people."
"Later, he passed away due to his injuries. Before he died, he begged our old master to take care of the widow and weak girl. Our old master agreed and wrote to our old lady to take the mother and daughter to Beijing to take care of them. .”
"After our old lady took people to Beijing, she originally planned to place them in her dowry house, so that they could live a peaceful and prosperous life in peace, but that woman insisted on bringing her children to live in the house. Inside the Hou Mansion."
"She said that she was a widow who was unemployed and was afraid of being bullied. She really didn't dare to live outside with her children alone. Our old lady told her not to worry, saying that the Hou Mansion would provide her with domestic servants and guards, and she would be nonsensical. From time to time, she sent someone to see her, to support her, but she didn't listen to it at all, and just kept holding the baby there."
"Our old lady can't forcefully drive the wife and children of the old Hou Ye's savior out of the Hou Mansion, so we have no choice but to place them in the inner house of the Hou Mansion."
"Who would have thought that this arrangement would lead to other things. For the sake of the glory and wealth of the Hou Mansion, the woman listened to other people's instigation and insisted that her daughter belonged to our old Lord Marquis."
"Our old Marquis has never even met her, but in the end he was forced to be framed as an immoral person who meddled with his subordinates and got his wife."
"Originally, this matter could be easily resolved. After all, the Dingbei Army has countless soldiers who can testify for our old master, but the problem is that the late emperor who was able to provide our old master with a chance to defend himself was actually the man who hid behind his back. This farce."
"The day after the rumors spread, our Marquis of Weiping received an imperial decree, an imperial decree. The imperial decree was for the emperor to reprimand our old Lord for his immorality and punish him. The imperial decree was for the queen mother to make the decision. The woman pointed out to our old Hou Ye to be a concubine."
"At that time, our old lady understood that the most insignificant thing in this matter was the greed of the woman who caused all these consequences."
"For the sake of the overall situation, our old lady accepted this beating from the royal family, and left that woman in the back house of the Hou Mansion very obediently, and our old Marquis also endured the humiliation and accepted this basin of sewage poured from the royal family. "
Ye Anlan was very depressed when she heard that.
Keeping the family members of the border guards in the capital as hostages can barely be said to contain the generals who hold heavy troops, and to ensure the long-term stability of the country.
But the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was a majestic emperor who personally ended up framing the courtiers. This dog emperor deserved to be kicked off the dragon chair!
Yes, this self-proclaimed scheming emperor was kicked off the Dragon Throne by his little wife and his natal family.
The empress dowager, who is now behind the curtain, is the chief culprit who first made him a living dead, and then directly made him a real dead.
However, Weipinghou Mansion, which he guarded in every possible way and targeted in every possible way, has been stationed in the northern border wholeheartedly from generation to generation, guarding the pass to prevent the barbarians from invading.
In Mrs. Bai's next narration, Ye Anlan learned that although Old Master Bai had always regarded the nominal concubine in the family as someone who did not exist, she herself had never been peaceful until her death.
And her daughter was also misled by her. In a good girl's house, not only did Mrs. Bai choose for her a noble and promising young man not to marry, but she also insisted on helping her children grow up for the sake of climbing high branches. Middle-aged men with many concubines and concubines act as stepmothers.
The man happened to want to marry the Weipinghou Mansion, who had a lot of soldiers in his hand, so he half pushed and married the nominal concubine of Weipinghou Mansion.
For the sake of her biological father, not only did Mrs. Bai not embarrass her because of her various ricochets, but she also accompanied her with a generous dowry so that she could straighten up and marry into her husband's family.
But besides this, Mrs. Bai couldn't give her other things.
After all, the Bai family is actually not as beautiful as outsiders imagined. In order to be able to guard the northern border and resist the barbarians, they sacrificed far more than the lives of countless Bai family children.
Almost every Marquis of Wei Ping who once stood in a high position and held a heavy army once, together with their family members, sacrificed their dignity, arrogance, family affection, and love for the overall situation.
They also don't want to submit to the dog emperor who is full of suspicion of them, they don't want to be separated from their wives, children, and old mothers for a long time, and they don't want to watch the blood-stained battlefield one after another by the best sons of the Bai family.
They did all the things they didn't want to do, just because they wanted to guard the pass so that the Hu people could not set foot in the Central Plains.
This is a romantic dream forged by the Bai family with blood and iron, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
As the wife of the Weiping Hou Mansion who can understand her husband, son and all the ancestors of the Bai family, Mrs. Bai can even sacrifice herself and her children and grandchildren when necessary. Of course, such a person will not allow the nominal concubine of the Bai family to It ruined all that the Bai family had accumulated with great difficulty after several generations.
Not only did she bluntly refuse to seek a real job for the concubine's husband, but after learning that the other party was entrusting favors and making connections under the banner of the Bai family, she directly let the word out, saying that the Bai family would never use power for personal gain, and that no matter who In the name of giving the Bai family face, they help the husband and son-in-law of the concubine of the Bai family find a real job, and the Bai family will not recognize this favor or take this friendship.
Not only did he miss the chance, but he was mercilessly exposed by Mrs. Bai, making him a laughing stock in Beijing overnight. Bai Qingzhi's nominal son-in-law hated the Bai family because of this incident.
