As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Bai became a little anxious and opened her mouth to object, but seeing so many people there, she still held back.
Mrs. Bai doesn't like to go out, let alone travel far away. Besides, Mr. Bai is not in good health anymore. Is it enough to travel such a long distance?
Although the two of them were still angry, the old lady still cared about his health.
"Dad, the capital is too far away, and your body can't bear it." Bai Shan advised.
Bai Shengming also said: "Yes, grandpa, the road to Beijing is long and bumpy. It is too hard. We really don't feel relieved."
Bai Banxia didn't say anything. Originally, she didn't plan to bring too many people with her when she came to Beijing this time. The capital was not as simple as a small place. The forces were complex and she didn't know what they were going to face. After all, they had no background and could easily suffer.
If her parents had not also been granted the title and had to go to express gratitude, she would not have planned to let her parents and younger siblings go to Beijing together.
The old man was probably so addicted to these vanities that he even asked to go to the capital to see off his bride. Even if nobles sent their daughters to the capital to get married, it was rare for the old man to do it himself.
"I'm fine, I'm not old, I'm living quite well. Besides, isn't Pinellia a doctor?" Mr. Bai said.
Grandma's face drooped. She was very unhappy now. Why is this old man getting more and more troubled? He can't even walk a few steps. If he gets sick along the way, it's still Pinellia that has the hard work. If anything happens, outsiders will still
It must be said that Pinellia ternata is unfilial.
If she dies again, Banxia will not be able to get married because she has to keep her filial piety, and she will have the bad reputation of having her grandfather killed.
"Brother Bai, I advise you not to go. You think we won't go to Beijing to cause trouble for our children." Mr. Zhang advised.
"Ban Xia's surname is Bai and not Zhang, so my old Bai family will naturally go there." Mr. Bai said.
Seeing his persistence, the atmosphere in the room was a little tense.
Bai Banxia said slowly: "I didn't know clearly when I came to Beijing this time. I heard that there are many rules in the palace. As a country person, I naturally don't know any rules. If I make a mistake, I don't think your Majesty will blame me. At most, I will
If you blame the elders in the family for neglecting to teach, I'm afraid grandpa will take the blame and be punished."
Mr. Bai's expression changed, "You should learn more along the way."
"Who should I learn from? Does anyone here know the rules in the palace? Even the county magistrate doesn't know." Bai Banxia smiled, "My parents are the same, but you can't say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, otherwise you will be in trouble.
That’s big.”
She shook her head as she said, "We farmers have no background and no money, so we have to be careful in everything."
"Daughter, can we not go then?" Bai Tian asked pretending to be frightened.
Bai Banxia suppressed a smile and said, "You and your mother have been granted a title, so you have to go and thank us. Otherwise, I really don't want you to go."
The old lady was frightened when she heard that she couldn't care about the old man's face anymore, so she hurriedly said: "I won't go. Don't let me die of exhaustion after all this long journey. If I say something wrong again, our second son will be killed."
How can we still rely on lifting people up in the future?”
Now the old man hesitated a little, then looked at Bai Tian and asked: "Then you don't understand the rules, so you can't say or do wrong things that will affect Erlang?"
"Dad, you are wrong. We have separated our families. If we do something wrong, it will affect Banxia at most. How can it affect the eldest brother's room? But you are the elder in the family, but it is different." Bai Tian replied.
road.
Bai Banxia secretly winked at her father and said it beautifully, 100%!
Now Mr. Bai was deep in thought. Seeing that he didn't insist anymore, Bai Banxia said that he would send his grandpa and others back after dinner.
So, she said hello to her uncle and the others, and took Ma Xiaoyu to Maple Tree Village again.
I said I was sending it to my grandpa's family, but actually I just didn't want to stay in the Bai family for the time being.
On the way there, Bai Banxia told Ma Xiaoyu about Du Hui's situation and asked Ma Xiaoyu to stay with Du Hui. She had too many things to do, so she couldn't keep an eye on Du Hui.
Ma Xiaoyu felt a little emotional and said: "Xiaohui's father is so kind to her. Look at my father, he is worse than a pig or a dog."
"So you still have me, am I not your good sister?" Bai Banxia said and pinched her cheek. She applied ointment yesterday and the swelling has subsided today.
When she returned to Zhang's house, Du Hui was in a daze in the yard. When she saw Bai Banxia coming up to him, he asked: "Bai Banxia, is there any news about my father?"
Bai Banxia made a shushing gesture to her, pulled her aside and whispered: "I heard that she is going to be escorted to Beijing. I have already sent someone to send a message to the governor, asking him to treat Mr. Du as kindly as possible.
Take more care of me."
Du Hui's eyes turned red, "Banxia, thank you."
Last night, Bai Banxia asked Sihai to send someone to deliver a message to Yin Shan. Yin Shan was not responsible for the interrogation, but only arranged for the escort, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to take more care of him.
During the earthquake, Du Kang did a lot as a common man and minimized the damage. For this reason, Yin Shan would also take some care of him.
As for what will happen after returning to Beijing, we can only see what the current emperor thinks about it.
Your heart is unpredictable and no one can tell for sure.
Just after persuading Du Hui, the third cousin came back to announce the good news.
"Uncle, you were commended by the government!" Zhang Tonglin still ran fast, bringing up a cloud of dust.
The aunt pinched his ears angrily, "I told you not to run away when you go home. Look, all you're doing is dirt!"
"Hey, mother, I'm wearing official uniform, please give me some face." The third cousin shouted.
The aunt let go and asked, "What good news can you tell me?"
"The government ordered to commend this donation to the epidemic area. It not only commended the villages that donated, but also the sponsors." The third cousin took out the official document, opened it and read it with a proud face.
After reading, he added: "Originally, I ran to Baoshan Village to announce the good news, but they said that my uncle was at our house, so I ran back quickly."
Bai Banxia suppressed a smile. Well, Mr. Bai was feeling depressed again. The good news was not reported to the Bai family again.
But who is to blame?
"Oh, this is such a happy event, Bai Tian, you did a good job!" Grandpa patted Bai Tian on the shoulder and praised.
Nowadays, the Zhang family is becoming more and more satisfied with their son-in-law. He treats his wife and daughter well, and he is smart and responsible. He is really different from before.
Bai Tian scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I don't have many high-level ideas. I just want to help my daughter."
"No matter how you say it, you have done a great thing and helped many people." My uncle also praised.
The Zhang family had two happy events in succession. Mr. Zhang smiled and asked everyone, why don't they serve wine and invite some familiar neighbors over?
This is different from Mr. Bai. He seeks everyone's opinions instead of directly making a decision.
"I think it will work, as long as we are close to each other, just set up seven or eight tables," said the uncle.
"I can help with cooking and making snacks," Li Luer said.
Ma Xiaoyu also said: "I can light the fire and chop wood, and I can also help!"
Everyone started laughing. Now the family is lively and life is becoming more and more prosperous.
