The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 22 22. Instructions

"Last time, the mother-in-law got a Persian cat as a tribute from a foreign vassal. She was very beautiful, and she has been raising her in the palace with delicious food. My sister-in-law went back last time, but she was greedy. I heard that this time there will be treasures sent as tribute. I don’t want to think about it anymore, if any merchants accompanying the team also bring it, I will have to pick a good one and give it to my sister-in-law."

Princess Wen Yi said with emotion.

Her sister-in-law loved raising cats most. There were three of them in her yard, and they were all treasures. However, they were a little less interesting than the Persian cat, so she had always wanted them.

"You two daughters-in-law care about each other, and I'm jealous when I see them. It's rare for my sisters-in-law to do what they do."

The madam, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said this, which made Princess Wen Yi laugh.

"Mrs. Tai, you are praising me again. No one in Mantung knows that the three sisters-in-law in your house are the most virtuous and polite. They manage the house well and raise their children well. Last time I heard my eldest brother say, There is another martial arts examiner. I think in the martial arts examination next year, the number one scholar will definitely be someone from your family."

The lady did not answer, but her smile reached her eyes.

There are three generations of military generals in General Hussar's mansion, especially her grandchildren, each one is more outstanding than the other, and they all look very good.

Suddenly, his eyes glanced at Bai Siruo and Feng Jinyao, and their eyes were a little more intimate than before.

"Grandma, let's talk to the mothers. I'll go look for my aunt and see if there's anything I can help with." After that, he pulled Feng Jinyao to salute and left.

After jogging a few steps and walking out of Shoukangyuan, he patted his chest with lingering fear.

"It's so scary. You don't know that the three eldest grandsons of the Madam's family are all like black bears in the forest. Every time I see them, I'm afraid that they can slap someone stupidly."

"Hahaha, are they as exaggerated as you said? I think the madam's grandchildren are pretty good, and they are on par with our Bai family."

Bai Siruo glared at her with a pair of phoenix eyes, "Laugh, laugh, be careful that grandma will give you a red string. Then I will see if you can laugh or not."

Feng Jinyao knew she was joking, but she gave him a step.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, aren't we going to find my aunt?"

"Yeah, but I still have to remind you, don't hang around in front of the Madam. Her three eldest grandsons are really... Wu Quxing descended to earth. It's better not to mess with those of us with small arms and legs."

Somehow, because of this impression, Bai Siruo was very afraid of anyone who wanted to enter the feudal world through martial arts examinations.

I always feel that they are just strong men with simple minds and well-developed limbs.

On the other side, Wei Lanxuan and others were also admiring the plum blossoms.

Red sandalwood plums are planted in the garden next to the waterside pavilion, and they are most beautiful in winter.

My aunt Lin tidied up the pavilion and put plenty of charcoal fire inside. It was not too cold to enjoy the plum blossoms in this cold weather.

Liang Luo picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip, but said something with disapproval.

"Let me tell you, the tea in the Imperial Concubine's Palace is the best. I heard that it is all rewarded by His Majesty himself. The tea outside always tastes boring."

Her words made it clear that she wanted to support Wei Lanxuan. Her aunt was the most favored concubine in the dynasty, so she was naturally very embarrassed.

After hearing her words, the little anger he felt just now disappeared.

"You are so sweet. Last time I saw you liked the Luo Xue cat in my aunt's palace. In a few days, another tribute will come. This time I asked my aunt to save one for you to save you from greed."

"real?"

Liang Luo's eyes lit up. She really liked cats, especially the Persian cats that were paid tribute by foreign vassals.

Not to mention the smooth coat color, he also has different eyes, one blue and one yellow, which is unparalleled in beauty.

"When have I ever told lies?"

"Sister Wei is still nice to me."

After saying this, he raised his head and glanced at Bai Sihan, the provocation in his eyes clearly revealed.

It seems to be saying, did you see it? I am the best sister beside her, you are just a pawn.

Bai Sihan was upset in her heart, but she looked like a carefree person. She had to bow her head under the eaves.

No wonder my mother tried her best to get into Dongdu City in order to stop relying on others, and she would do the same in the future.

Isn't it just a cat?

After she marries a noble husband, she must take out today's anger back on this bitch Liang Luo!

In Bai Mansion, the birthday banquet is coming to an end.

Su Cheng, who was drunk in the front yard, was really carried away. Feng Er was detained in Shoukangyuan, so the matter of sending the guests away fell on Bai Chaoan and Feng Jinxu, the elders of the Bai family.

After seeing off the guests, the uncle and nephew had time to talk for a while.

"You've got an excellent score in this test. Do you want to go out and practice for a few years, or do you want to take a step up in Dali Temple? Have you thought about it?"

My eldest uncle Bai Chaoan is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the official performance appraisal is also closely related to their Hanlin Academy, so the news about him should be extra early.

Feng Jinxu shook his head, "My nephew will just follow the arrangements. However, if it goes according to my wishes, I still want to go out and have a look. I will stay at the emperor's feet all day long and know nothing about the people outside. This official has done a good job. It’s boring.”

Bai Chaoan glanced at him appreciatively.

If you really want to talk about it, Feng Jinxu is the person who most resembles his father, not only in appearance, but also in his mind.

He is just in his early twenties and has already reached the sixth rank of the Dali Temple. His performance has been determined to be excellent this time. If he is sent out, he may be in the fifth rank of official position like him. It is really scary to be born next to him.

He had no children, so he cared most about his eldest nephew.

Bai Chaoan was naturally concerned about his future, so he spoke to him with sincerity.

"The Bai family is not prosperous. In your generation, you only have two daughters, Siruo Sihan, at home. When they go out, the family will be deserted. And there are no brothers from the mother's family to support them. Once we people leave, their We have to rely on you, my eldest cousin, to support them. Otherwise, if they are bullied by their husband’s family, they won’t know who to turn to to help them!”

The words were full of advice to him.

Feng Jinxu's face became more serious, "Don't worry, uncle, as long as I'm here, I will never let my cousins ​​be bullied."

"Okay, that's all I need from you."

After speaking, he patted his shoulder, sighed, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the inner courtyard.

In the study, Prime Minister Bai is sitting on the throne at the moment, and standing below him is Sanlang Bai Chaoke, with a respectful look, listening to his father's teachings.

"Come sit here and play chess with me."

"yes."

The game of chess that Bai Xiang talks about is not the game of Go with black and white pieces, but military chess.

If each side holds its own, winning is a matter of life and death. Compared with Go, which slowly encircles and annihilates everything, he prefers military chess, which cuts through the mess quickly and leaves no escape route.

Among the three sons, Bai Sanlang has the best chess skills, which may be related to his meticulous thinking, but unfortunately he is not Bai Xiang's opponent.

"You don't blame me for ruining your bright future, do you?"
