Bai Erlang ran over and looked at it, "Why are these notes of mine here with you?"
Bai Shan put a newly opened book into his arms and said, "I still want to ask you. Put any book into my study."
Bai Erlang opened the book and flipped through it, and he was happy, "I read this story book many years ago, why is it still there?"
Seeing Bai Shan flipping through old books, he asked, "What are you flipping through them for?"
"Compile the notes and send them to Longzhou."
Bai Erlang said "Huh", "When did you get so good with Longzhou that you were even willing to give me your notes?"
Bai Shan clapped the manuscript in his hand and said, "In order to prevent this from happening again, and in order for Zhou Man and I to live more comfortably in the future, we must seriously manage our relationship with the clan now..."
Bai Shan lowered his voice and said: "Only when I am in a high position or when I am down and out will I be able to think about the matter of dividing the sect."
Bai Erlang: "You haven't given up yet. I don't think they will let you separate the clan. It's not just you. Zhou Man alone is enough for the clan to brag about. By then, it will be a big chapter in the family tree."
.”
When Bai Shan thought about it, it was true that if the master didn't let him go, he couldn't betray the clan and ruin his good reputation. "So I still have to have a good relationship with the clan."
Bai Erlang flipped through a few of his notes and books, picked them up and was about to leave, but Bai Shan raised his hand to stop him, "You're all here, let's organize them together."
Bai Erlang: "...Caught me as a white laborer again."
Being suppressed by Bai Shan, he could only stay and help, and had dinner here in the evening before going home.
Bai Shan sent the compiled notes back to Longzhou.
Bai Clan Academy was pleasantly surprised to receive almost a box of books and notes.
According to Bai Shan's wishes, it was placed in the family history and copied by the descendants of the clan, and the original was returned after three years.
"Most of these notes and annotations were written by Bai Shan when he was studying, and some were written by the wife of the fourth room. Both of them were young and talented, and now they are successful, especially Bai Shan. He is your elder and has not yet reached the top.
Then you can pass the Jinshi examination, and his notes can be said to be worth a fortune, so you must cherish this opportunity."
Everyone responded.
Clan Xue accepted the books, and the elders in the clan were no longer so angry about Bai Shan giving his eldest son his surname.
"Bai Shan said that he will select seven children to study in the capital. He will send people to select them later. Do you have any candidates?" Several elders of the Bai family members took advantage of the opportunity of delivering books to get together and talk.
"What's the use of having a candidate if we have one?" One person said: "Since Bai Shan said he would select the candidate himself, he would choose one from the clan school. Anyone can go. With his temperament and character, do you think it is useful for us to select the candidate?"
?”
"I think this is a good opportunity to fight for," another person said: "Clan leader, Bai Shan left the clan when he was young and has a weak relationship with us. However, he is very close to Mianzhou. I have also vaguely heard some rumors.
He said he wanted to branch out to the Mianzhou branch."
"I asked the third brother and the fifth brother to take Sanlang and others to the capital to study and run business. They also wanted to get closer to him and mend the relationship between their four families and the clan. However, they rarely saw Bai Shan after arriving in the capital. They were always with him.
The aunt in the fourth room came and went, and later Bai Shan went out again, and they made no progress. They were so unfamiliar that even if they met on the street, he wouldn't recognize Sanlang."
As soon as these words came out, many people were angry, especially Bai Sanlang's father, who waved his sleeves and said, "Bai Shan is too arrogant."
"He has a tough temper. It's not the first time that my brothers have known about it. There is no need to be angry about it. I said this is an opportunity because he chose the person who went to study in the capital this time." The man said: "Since it is him.
If you pick someone over, he will be responsible, and the relationship will be cultivated and nurtured."
"Why do the two brothers from the Mianzhou clan have such a good relationship with him? Isn't it just a friendship since childhood?" He chuckled: "The fourth family wants to cultivate people in the clan and enhance their relationship, and our clan also wants to repair with him.
Guanxi, leveraging the power in his hands, this is a win-win situation, why not do it?"
"Then this candidate..."
"Let the children in the clan school get ready. Qilang from the second brother's family is very good. He is smart, lively and cheerful. He looks a bit like him when he was a child. Maybe we can get along with him."
"Okay, let the children who intend to study in the capital prepare to prepare."
Bai Shan was counting his days off, and Zhou Man came over to look at him, "Why do you have so many days off?"
"Shh, this is all accumulated by me," Bai Shan stopped her exclamation and hummed in a low voice: "The holidays are all accumulated through my usual hard work."
Zhou Man asked curiously, "Are you going to take a long vacation?"
Bai Shandao: "It's not too long. I haven't had much to do recently. I plan to take three days of vacation that I have accumulated in the past. Including two days of rest, it will be five days. I want to go back to Longzhou.
.”
"Um?"
Bai Shan smiled and said: "Our eldest sister is already four years old, and it's time to write down the family tree. Although Wu Yuan's surname is Xia, he is the son of the two of us. Naturally, we have to write down the whole family tree and write down the whole story clearly for a hundred years.
Thousands of years later, if future generations want to get to the bottom of it, there will be records."
"Is five days enough?"
"That's enough," Bai Shan said: "Longzhou is not far away. I'll work hard. Five days is enough. Ancestor worship is one thing. I also want to take the opportunity to select the students who come to Beijing." Bai Shan said: "I'll let you.
Liu Gui went back first and asked him to check out the situation first. Since I want to select them to come to the capital, I have to take care of them, but I can't select some with bad behavior."
Bai Shan is cultivating talents for the clan, but he does not intend to raise a group of ancestors, so among the students who come, the first thing is not to deliberately cause trouble for him.
Bai Shan had many days off, and the court was not very busy during this period. He asked for leave, and Mr. Old Tang quickly approved it.
That's right, his immediate boss at this time was Mr. Old Tang. Therefore, he saved up all the vacations he could and used to be on duty for his colleagues in exchange for vacations.
His diligence has almost caught up with Master Wei in his early years.
Considering that Zhou Man had just given birth and was still in confinement, some people speculated that the couple had a quarrel. In addition, his eldest son was named Xia Mu some time ago...
"Is this the couple getting divorced?"
Rumors spread so widely that even Mr. Tang couldn't help but care about his subordinates' family life.
Bai Shan said silently: "Sir, I want to save my vacation time and will go back to my hometown next year to pay homage to my ancestors and visit my relatives."
Mr. Old Tang, "Didn't you take three days off from the sixth to the eighth day of next month? Looking at your situation, you want to take a month or two off?"
Bai Shan said sheepishly: "Xiaguan did some calculations. From now on, by the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, Xiaguan can save at least sixty-seven days of vacation. Of course, Xiaguan does not have to take all these holidays.
Yes, I only need to take a break of fifty days. After all, the court will be busy by then, and I can’t leave for too long.”
Mr. Old Tang: "...You are quite thoughtful. Longzhou is not far away. Why did you take such a long leave?"
