Chapter 389 The Bai Family and Bai Yuanyuan
Late at night, Ye Mingsheng lay on his side on the beauty's jade chair, while Bai Yuanyuan carefully picked Ye Mingsheng's ears.
Under Bai Yuanyuan's gentle service, the relaxed Ye Mingsheng's mind became increasingly heavy, and he was in a state of sleepiness. Just when Bai Yuanyuan thought that Ye Mingsheng was about to fall asleep, his movements became softer and softer.
, Ye Mingsheng seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly asked:
"Yuanyuan, do you have two brothers, one is named Bai Changrong and the other is named Bai Changrong?"
Bai Yuanyuan was stunned when she heard Ye Mingsheng's words. Although she didn't know why Ye Mingsheng asked this, Bai Yuanyuan nodded and said:
"Yes, Bai Changrong, Bai Changrong is indeed my biological brother from the same mother!"
Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly when he heard the words, and then said nothing more. Seeing that Ye Mingsheng stopped mid-sentence, Bai Yuanyuan was inevitably a little uneasy. She knew that the man in front of her had become the local emperor of Liaoyang and the emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
The overlord of one party, his two brothers, are now working under him...
When she thought of this, Bai Yuanyuan felt even more frightened. She was slightly worried that her two brothers had done something wrong to offend Ye Mingsheng. With a pair of beautiful eyes like water, she quietly looked at Ye Mingsheng's face and wanted to
Find some clues from it.
But what disappointed her was that at this time, Ye Mingsheng had his eyes slightly closed and his face was very calm. There was some snoring in his mouth, but he was already asleep. Seeing this, Bai Yuanyuan couldn't bear to disturb Ye Mingsheng's sleep, so she suppressed the doubts in her heart.
Instruct the maid outside the room to blow out the lamp.
Although the lights were turned off and the night was already deep, Bai Yuanyuan, who was asked by Ye Mingsheng, could not fall asleep no matter what. She was thinking about why Ye Mingsheng suddenly asked about her two brothers.
It has been a while since being occupied by Ye Mingsheng, and Bai Yuanyuan has gradually figured out Ye Mingsheng's temper.
In her eyes, Ye Mingsheng is a person who is both presumptuous and restrained. In order to completely dominate her, he can instruct his men to cause accidents and send Wang Jin and others back to the west. However, he obviously likes to serve him, but he only cares about her every time.
Stay here for one night and leave on time the next morning...
When she first got together with Ye Mingsheng, Bai Yuanyuan did not expect that Ye Mingsheng would climb up so fast. In less than a year, he would go from being the commander-in-chief of Fengzhou to becoming the master of the entire Liaoyang.
This made Bai Yuanyuan happy and proud, but also gave her a sense of crisis. Ever since Ye Mingsheng got rid of the Wang family, Bai Yuanyuan had no way out, and she could only rely on Ye Mingsheng in the future.
As a noblewoman born in an official family, Bai Yuanyuan could not tolerate her identity as Ye Mingsheng's mistress in the following days, living in the Shenmen compound with no name and status, waiting for Ye Mingsheng's death with resentment every day.
arrival.
And after learning that the two concubines beside Ye Mingsheng, one was a medical girl picked up from outside, and the other was a maid, and each had a lower status than the other, Bai Yuanyuan, who was born in an official family, became more and more unhappy, and even more eager to
She wanted a status with Ye Mingsheng. She didn't dare to tell her parents about her current situation for fear of embarrassing them.
Ye Mingsheng is now the local emperor of Liaoyang. Even if she stays with him as a concubine, it is not a shame. It is also a very helpful thing to her natal family...
Although she has such thoughts in her heart, Bai Yuanyuan is a very smart woman. She knows that Ye Mingsheng is not the kind of soft-hearted person. He will satisfy her demands as soon as she acts coquettishly. And her current status as a widow, for Ye Mingsheng
Marrying her is not a good thing either.
Ye Mingsheng is the kind of person who will give it to you if he is willing to give it. If he doesn’t want to give it to you and still has to ask for it, then not only will he not satisfy you, but he will even become disgusted with you. Ye Mingsheng is now an official
It's so big, you can't tell how many women want to recommend themselves to pillow mats at the touch of a finger.
And it is a man's nature to like the new and dislike the old, and to always abandon you. If you ask for your status rashly, there is a high probability that you will not get anything, but Ye Mingsheng may even be so cruel that he abandons you. That way
Bai Yuanyuan, who has given everything for Ye Mingsheng, is really on the verge of crying.
Therefore, Bai Yuanyuan, who is insecure, has never dared to make any demands to Ye Mingsheng, and she has never dared to use her relationship with Ye Mingsheng to benefit her family. She has always worked hard to maintain her obedient and sensible character in Ye Mingsheng's heart.
Imagine and wait for a suitable opportunity...
But now this opportunity has not come, but it is very likely that the danger signal of the two brothers has come. In Bai Yuanyuan's opinion, it must not be a good thing to hear the names of her two brothers from the mouth of a cruel and cruel person like Ye Mingsheng.
things.
Thinking of this, Bai Yuanyuan felt very aggrieved. Two lines of clear tears could not help but fall from her eyes, and she started sobbing softly.
Although Bai Yuanyuan's cry was not loud, Ye Mingsheng, who had relatively light sleep, was still awakened by her cry.
Looking at the crying pear blossoms and the pitiful Bai Yuanyuan, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but asked with concern:
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, the crying Bai Yuanyuan shook her head. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng, who was confused and didn't know what happened, asked in confusion:
"Since it's not a nightmare, Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you? What made you cry so sadly?"
Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Bai Yuanyuan thought of the safety of her two brothers, and ignored the others and cried to Ye Mingsheng:
"I am following the official. I don't dare to ask for anything else. I just hope that my natal family will be safe!"
"When I was in my natal family, my two brothers were the best to me and always took good care of me. I don't know what my brothers have done wrong, but I would like to ask the officials to please be considerate of me."
If I leave my two brothers with a miserable life, my whole family will be grateful to the officials..."
After saying this, Bai Yuanyuan, whose face was full of tears, stood up from the bed and knelt in front of Ye Mingsheng. Her behavior made Ye Mingsheng confused. She couldn't figure out what the situation was now and why Bai Yuanyuan suddenly begged for mercy. No.
He, who dared to make promises easily, pondered for a moment before tentatively asking:
"Bai Changrong, Bai Changrong, what did the two of them do?"
Hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, Bai Yuanyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, cried and said:
"Aren't you an official? Are you saying that my two brothers are guilty?"
Ye Mingsheng probably understood what was going on when he heard this. He shook his head and said with a bit of laughter and tears:
"When did I say that Bai Changrong, Bai Changrong and the two of them were guilty?"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng's expression didn't look fake, Bai Yuanyuan seemed to realize that she was overthinking. Her face turned slightly red and she pretended to wipe the tears from her eyes and cheeks to cover up her embarrassment...
At this time, Ye Mingsheng also helped her up from the cold floor tiles and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, your two brothers Bai Changrong and Bai Changrong have done quite well in office. The reason why I asked you about them is because I deliberately want to promote them!"
Maybe it was because happiness came too suddenly, and sadness and joy changed too quickly. Bai Yuanyuan was in a daze for a while. It took her a while to realize what Ye Mingsheng said. She grabbed Ye Mingsheng's arm and said expectantly:
"My lord, are you lying to me?"
After scratching Bai Yuanyuan's cheek, which could be broken by blows, Ye Mingsheng said with a smile:
"When did I lie to you?"
Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, Bai Yuanyuan seemed to recall certain scenes, and a shy blush suddenly appeared on her fair cheeks and she said softly:
"Officials are the most trustworthy..."
"By the way, have you told your family about us?" Ye Mingsheng looked at Bai Yuanyuan and asked:
Regarding Ye Mingsheng's question, Bai Yuanyuan lowered her head and said nothing, looking a little melancholy. She was originally the daughter-in-law of Fengzhou judge Wang Jin, and she was also a noblewoman in Liaoyang. She lived a life without touching the spring water.
Food life.
Now Ye Mingsheng has occupied her without fame or status. For Bai Yuanyuan, who has received the traditional education of three obediences and four virtues, she naturally knows that this is not a glorious thing, something worthy of showing off, so she did not dare to mention it to her parents.
What happened between her and Ye Mingsheng.
Although Bai Yuanyuan didn't speak, looking at her like this, Ye Mingsheng knew the answer and couldn't help but touch her pretty face with some pity.
Although at first he was just interested in Bai Yuanyuan because of lust and wanted to vent his love for her, but after getting along for a long time, Ye Mingsheng began to fall in love with her. She was considerate, knew both cold and hot, and she could tell him just by looking at her.
A young woman who knows what to do...
After a while, Bai Yuanyuan also came out of her depressed mood and looked at Ye Mingsheng with beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to express her gratitude to Ye Mingsheng.
Because there are still many important things to do tomorrow, including meetings with several key people, and he has just received An Miaoyi's Shimui Zhiwei during this period, which is already very presumptuous, so his life is at stake.
The young woman was so moved that she wanted to rectify the law on the spot, so she persuaded Bai Yuanyuan to go back to bed and sleep.
Looking at Bai Yuanyuan who never forgot to show a happy smile while sleeping next to him, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but shook his head and lamented the deep relationship between the Bai family siblings.
What he just said to Bai Yuanyuan was true or false. It was true that he wanted to promote the Bai brothers, but it was not as he said that the Bai brothers did very well in their respective positions.
The Bai family, where Bai Yuanyuan was born, is considered a large official family in Dongning Prefecture. People in the family have been officials for generations. Going back five generations, there was someone who served as the right assistant minister in the Ministry of Industry. Although the family has been in decline in recent years,
They need to rely on the Yun family among the three clans in Liaoyang to make a living.
However, the energy of the Bai family is not small. The eldest son of the family, Bai Changrong, serves as a commander in the army and commands thousands of soldiers. The second son, Bai Changrong, also serves as the magistrate of Yulong County, one of the few wealthy counties in Liaoyang, and manages
There are more than 100,000 people in one county,
The Bai family not only has members in the government and the army, but also in Yulong County and Sanyuan County of Dongning Prefecture. They have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, making them a typical big landowner family with considerable wealth.
Seriously speaking, Bai Yuanyuan's father, Bai Wanhao, is a serious figure. When the Bai family came to him, the family business was almost ruined. Although he had the reputation of being an official family, the whole family relied on him.
Living on the salary of Bai Wanhao and several other officials in the family, although they can afford to eat, the family members are not well off...
Under such circumstances, Bai Wanhao was determined to revitalize the family. He was still just a county clerk, and he actively ran around in the officialdom.
Due to his appreciation, he was promoted to a county magistrate in Lelang Prefecture.
After becoming the county magistrate, Bai Wanhao was still not satisfied. He tried every possible means to get into the circle of the big family, and became sworn friends with Yun Xiuwei, the fourth master of the Yun family. After catching up with the big and thick leg of the Yun family, Yun
Wanhao's career in the officialdom gradually went smoothly. He was transferred from a poor and poor county to a wealthy and prosperous county, and later even became the sixth-rank general judge of Xuantu Mansion.
In addition to having a prosperous career in the officialdom, Bai Wanhao also picked up a lot of leftovers from the Yun family along the way with the Bai family. Although it was just leftovers, it also made the Bai family make a lot of money and accumulated a lot of family property.
Later, when Bai Wanhao retired and returned to his hometown due to his old age, he also relied on the connections he had accumulated in Liaoyang official circles for many years to push his two sons with mediocre qualifications, one to the position of commander and the other to the position of county magistrate.
Generally speaking, looking at Bai Wanhao's life is like looking at the struggle and development history of a small family...
Looking at Bai Wanhao's fortune, in addition to Bai Wanhao having the help of the noble Yun family, Bai Wanhao's own efforts are also indispensable. His political sense is very keen and he can always stand in line at critical moments. And this time Bai Wanhao
Marriott just put the team on Ye Mingsheng’s side!
Three days ago, Gu Sansi came over to report to Ye Mingsheng that Bai Jiujiu, the magistrate of Yulong County, had come to him with a generous gift. The implication of his words was that the Bai family wanted to completely defect to the local faction, and hoped that Gu
Think twice if you can recommend him to meet Ye Mingsheng.
At first, when Ye Mingsheng heard the name Bai Jiujiu from Gu Sansi, he thought it was familiar and didn't think much about it. Later, after Ye Kui reminded him, he realized that Bai Jiujiu was Bai Yuanyuan's second brother.
At that time, he thought that it was Bai Yuanyuan who told her family about their relationship, so her family wanted to rely on the relationship between Bai Yuanyuan and him to gain some benefits for political speculation.
