Chapter 1739 Sing a line and never see him again in this life
Bai Pingfu's funeral was not grand.
Langya City is not covered in white.
They only hung plain banners in Bai's old house, and did not entertain relatives or friends, nor did they welcome guests, so they kept an unusually low profile.
Of course, many people understand the reason for this low profile - the pillars are broken and the situation is irreversible. The famous family that was once famous in Yue Kingdom has to keep a low profile.
Without the power of a moment of overwhelming power, how can we match the momentum of a moment of overwhelming power?
Wen Juanying, the mistress of the Bai family, was sitting in the study room where her husband was alive and on the chair where her husband died... She was covered in linen and her face looked sad, but she did not shed any tears.
All the tears that should be shed have been shed in the past days.
After her husband Bai Pingfu died and before her son Bai Yuxia came back, she had to support the family. She did everything well.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with more worry.
Her son has changed a lot, and she doesn't know whether it is for good or bad.
From childhood to adulthood, Bai Yuxia was always one of those 'other people's children'. He was good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was also good at everything with swords, guns and sticks. His morality and etiquette were praised by everyone. He could be said to be an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs and was flawless.
As he himself said in court, Bai Pingfu had asked him to be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and diligent since he was a child, and he had indeed never slacked off.
At the Battle of the Yellow River, he was defeated by Xiang Bei with his fists. After the Battle of the Mountains and Seas, the gap between him and Ge Fei became wider and wider.
She saw her son's efforts that were almost masochistic, and her son's anxiety that he couldn't sit still. She saw it in her eyes and felt anxious in her heart.
That little letter about traveling far away made Pingfu furious and made many people laugh, but she was relieved in her heart.
My son has good looks, talents, and abilities, but at an age when he should be dressed up and angry, he doesn’t have much youthful vigor. His words and deeds are dignified and polite, and he has integrity. He has always been troubled by the "Bai family's beautiful son"
"Within the framework of my husband's writing, my life became as outlined in my husband's pen. Every day was very hard.
Although she adores her husband, she loves her son even more.
In fact, she knew that her husband didn't feel sorry for his son, and why didn't he miss him? He had quarreled with her several times, hoping that she would write a letter to persuade her son to come back, but she couldn't help but say it straight...and she pretended not to understand.
.
In the eyes of the husband, what he sees is the long-term future of the Bai family, which spans thousands of years of the Yue Kingdom. What he sees is the dangerous undercurrent in the peaceful situation. It is the so-called responsibility and the so-called commitment. Therefore, he will continue to put pressure on his son, hoping that Yuxia will become
A better person.
But she just hopes that her son can live an easier life. If it's not that severe, it doesn't matter.
But after the husband died, the son could no longer relax...
The first thing my son did when he returned to China was to pay filial piety and go to court.
The first thing his son did when he came to court was to officially start Pingfu's funeral.
Many people in the clan feel that at this time, the Bai family needs a grand funeral to maintain the Bai family's dignity.
It was Bai Yuxia who stood up to all odds and demanded that everything should be simple and low-key.
She didn't quite understand her son's decision, but she supported it unreservedly. Letting Bai Yuxia take charge of the family was exactly what Pingfu had hoped for during his lifetime. No matter what the outcome, she was willing to bear it with her son.
However, at this moment, her son knelt in front of her and slowly said to her: "I want to leave here."
Wen Juanying couldn't understand.
Although her husband Bai Pingfu died and the Bai family suffered a heavy blow, the Langya Bai family could not be said to have been in ruins ever since.
As a famous family in the Yue Kingdom, the Bai family's accumulation over the years will not be erased overnight.
There is still one clan elder in the family who has the power of divine presence.
Bai's old friends are all over the world, and she, Wen Juanying, also has blood from the Yue royal family.
It should be said that this family can still survive. It has enough foundation to survive until the next person to support the family appears. It can support Bai Yuxia's growth.
But Bai Yuxia wants to give up all this.
"Tell your mother," Wen Juanying said slowly, "Is it because you were wronged in the court? It is normal for the world to be cold... When your father failed in the Meteor Fairy Forest, there was no one there.
Have you been asking about it for a long time?"
Bai Yuxia's unfinished accountability in the court has already spread among the upper echelons of the Yue Kingdom. Many people regard it as a manifestation of the political naivety of the Bai family's legitimate son. Of course she, Wen Juanying, also knew about it, but believed that her son was naturally smart and only needed a little training.
After being in charge of the family for a period of time, you will naturally be able to understand the political game.
"The mother still regards her son as her child, but since the father is dead, the son is the father, how can the son still have any innocence?" Bai Yuxia shook his head: "Who can live in this world without being wronged? There are still Duke Huai of Chu
On a day when he endures humiliation behind closed doors, when the Marquis of Qi Wu'an is still wanted by the whole world, is his son a great person? How can he not bear the slightest grievance?"
"My son returned to China this time to give his father an explanation and to support the family."
He put his hands on his knees, like a jade statue: "But staying here... there is no hope."
Wen Juanying said sadly: "Although the Bai family is still in decline, my son is extremely talented. How can you say there is no hope here?"
Bai Yuxia said solemnly: "From the perspective of the Bai family, there is certainly no problem with what mother said. From the Bai family alone... No matter how treacherous and powerful Zhang Linchuan is, there is no reason for his father to die. The country of Yue is not Wei.
It is a country, not a Dan country, we have made preparations in advance."
"You mean..." Wen Juanying frowned: "Then Ge Fei deliberately sat back and watched his father in danger, and the Ge family wanted to swallow up my Bai family?"
Bai Yuxia said: "This matter is of great importance. There is no evidence, so we can't talk nonsense. But I think smart people in the world will have some guesses."
There was no surprised expression on Wen Juanying's face. She was obviously one of those 'smart people', but she just lowered her eyes and said: "If this is really the case, my son must be more cautious and forbearing, and should not alert the snake to the grass.
yes."
Bai Yuxia shook her head: "That's not right."
Although he was kneeling, he still had a sense of excellence and said seriously: "Ge Fei's current official official position is that of the censor of the right capital, the second-ranking figure in the imperial court. The censor of the left capital always obeys the emperor's orders.
, and will not interfere with his power. However, his son has been concentrating on spiritual practice and has not officially entered the officialdom. This is because he is not as powerful as him."
"Ge Fei took Yin Xiang as his teacher, and I have inherited the Bai family's education since I was a child. The Ge family is at the top of the sky, and the Bai family is about to have a storm...the situation is so great."
"Since his journey to the Mountain and Sea Realm, Ge Fei's cultivation speed has been rapid. Now he has become a god. He can even fight with Zhang Linchuan without dying... My son is far incomparable. What he loses is his strength and the foreseeable future."
He said that he was not good at everything, but there was no despair in his eyes. He just looked at the reality objectively and faced the cruelty calmly: "If I want to fight against Ge Fei, I will hit the stone with an egg, and there is no chance of winning. If Ge Fei
If you want to swallow up my Bai family, only Bai family has no power to fight back. My mother looks at today's Bai family, she still has a wealth of wealth, a warehouse full of grain, and luxuriant leaves and branches... My son looks at it, but it's just a bubble, the glimmer of a candle.
."
Wen Juanying originally wanted to say, if that day comes, I can go to the palace to beg the emperor, and the royal family will not ignore the Bai family. But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them again. Because she suddenly figured out why Bai Yuxia
The first thing I did when I returned home was to submit my filial piety to the court. Why was I so ignorant in the court?
If the Bai family has any value today, it is nothing more than a check and balance on the Ge family. It is the future of Bai Yuxia, who was once the pride of Ge Fei.
And Bai Yuxia has already shown it all.
Bai Yuxia has already given up everything at the first time, and has already stepped onto the gambling table as soon as possible. With the image of a fledgling and reckless family member, so angry and so ignorant in the court of Yue Kingdom - if the emperor is willing to support
He checks and balances, he is willing to be the one standing in front of the stage. He is willing to rush forward and bump forward without thinking.
But the emperor has fallen silent.
If her blood relationship could affect the emperor, why would she need to enter the palace?
Now that the emperor already has an attitude, what's the use of her entering the palace?
She had to admit that her son thought further than she did and was more mature than she imagined. But this kind of maturity makes a mother heartbroken.
Bai Yuxia continued: "When Gong Zhiliang said he was not close to me, he meant that he would not stand on our side no matter what. Even Gong Zhiliang was like this. No civil and military officials in the dynasty could rely on him. If he continues to fight, he would only get his own way.
Humiliation. As for Your Majesty... Of course he will give me some sweetness, coax me, give my father, and give the Bai family a little glory, so that we can continue to hold on. This is the so-called emperor's art, but for the Bai family, there is nothing
significance.
Without real support, no matter how hard I struggle, I can't escape from Ge Fei's suppression. No matter how hard I try, it can only delay the time of failure... I can't be Ge Fei's opponent now, and Bai can no longer compete with Ge Fei.
At the same time, I have no choice but to jump out of here."
At this moment, the entire Bai family's old house is trapped in a funeral atmosphere. People are sad, crying, and people are coming and going in a hurry. But in the study of the head of the Bai family, the most talented person in the contemporary Bai family, Bai family law
The next head of the family has already made up his mind to leave.
Facing the Langya Bai clan, which once represented endless glory, he just waved his hand.
When there are still quite a few chips in hand, not everyone can see the result clearly, and not everyone has the courage to give up this round.
Wen Juanying looked at her son, but she didn't say many words. In the end, she just said: "How are you going to leave?"
Bai Yuxia said: "The friend who accompanied me back to Yue State has left. Therefore, Marquis Wu'an of Qi State wrote a letter to me, asking me to go to Nanxia to relax and learn Taoism. This letter contains hidden information and
Ge Fei should have seen it. I went and will not come back."
"My son has made good friends outside." Wen Juanying said sadly: "It seems you were right to run away from home."
Bai Yuxia slowly lowered her body and put her forehead to the ground: "I can't take my mother away, because Ge Fei may not trust me. I can't leave with you."
"Silly boy." Wen Juanying brushed the account book on the desk and smiled: "I can't even leave with you. This is my country, this is my home. My mother has to protect it for your father.
This family property is waiting for you to come back."
Bai Yuxia raised her head: "After I leave, the Bai family has no way out, and there is no possibility of fighting against the Ge family. On the contrary, all the relatives and elders will be safe. Even though life will be more tense and money will be tighter. This Langya City will not be able to fight again.
It’s up to the Bai family to make the decision...it’s a pain for my mother.”
Wen Juanying looked at Bai Yuxia across the desk, feeling that the child was still very close, yet seemed to be far away.
But when the children grow up, there will always be this day, right?
She said with some sourness: "No matter how bad the Bai family is, they are still getting better and better. No matter how bad the family business is, the blood of the Wen family is still flowing in my mother's body. She has to have good clothes and food at home, why do you suffer? What is suffering is that you are out there.
Living in the open air, fighting through thorns and thorns outside. No matter how good your friends are, it’s uncomfortable to live under someone else’s roof..."
Bai Yuxia didn't say this. He rushed back to Yue State all night. So far, he has not shed a tear. He only said slowly: "The emperor thought he could control the Ge family and manipulate Ge Fei arbitrarily, so he didn't care and even condoned it. Or maybe
His old man has more plans and higher-level thinking... But 'Fei' is the evil in the world, and it is not easy. Ge Fei is no longer the same as before, and I am not the innocent Bai Yuxia who can continue. Let's wait and see.
."
Requiem laments were still being sung outside.
That song sings——
"Three souls are gone, seven souls are gone.
Who in the world has no relatives?
A cry, a cry of pain.
Come naked and go naked.
The fate of this life is over, and I can see the road ahead of the mountain.
The mountains don't turn, but the water does, and the tears in my eyes sing for those who are leaving.
Singing about the mountains, the mountains are too high. Singing about the water, the water is too far away.
Sing a line that I won’t see you in this life!
The living or the dead, who is more regretful..."
In the study room with elegant furnishings, Wen Juanying quietly listened to a Vietnamese lament. The son who had always made her proud and worried about her had disappeared.
Not long after, footsteps approaching quickly were heard outside the study, and the housekeeper's voice rang out: "Mistress, there is a funeral ceremony sent from the palace, as well as a posthumous title for the master."
Wen Juanying only said: "I know."
I had no intention of welcoming him in person.
After a while, another servant came to report: "Yin Xiangfeng sent a piece of writing, which was written by Yin Xiang himself, saying 'safety at home'..."
Wen Juanying in the study asked: "Do you have anything else to say?"
The servant replied: "I didn't say anything."
Wen Juanying was silent for a moment, but still only said: "I understand!"
…
…
The growth and decline of vegetation is the natural principle.
Birth, old age, illness and death are normal human events.
Someone also passed away in Linzi City, and they were also members of a famous family, and the funeral was also low-key... No, the funeral of the Bao family was almost silent. It can be described as low-key. It seems that they hope that no one will know about it. .
Of course, given Bao's family status, no matter how low-key the prince's death was, people who should know would never ignore it.
Bao Zhongqing, the second son of the Bao family, died in Zhang Linchuan's disaster.
As for why Zhang Linchuan's replacement, Lei Zhanqian, had been dead for a long time before Bao Zhongqing died. It was naturally the treacherous Zhang Linchuan who gave Bao Zhongqing a chronic and highly toxic poison.
The whole world knows that Jiang Wang, the Marquis of Wu'an, is investigating the disappearance of Lin Youxie, the Qingpai captor. What people don't know is that Bao Zhongqing, because of his comradeship and classmate friendship with Jiang Wang, worked tirelessly to get involved and find out the truth. I went to Lushuang County in person for the first time to investigate many doubtful points. As a result, Zhang Linchuan saw the opportunity and secretly carried out a murderous attack.
It's really a pity that God is jealous of talents and a famous family.
"In other words, Bao Zhongqing died because of me, and died in Linchuan to exterminate the evil cult?"
In the house of Marquis Wu'an, Marquis Wu An, who had just returned home, was half-leaning on his desk, covering the corners of his eyes with one hand seemingly inadvertently, supporting the face that had been selected into the list of Linzi's most beautiful men...
How superficial!
He, Jiang Wang, is just a little younger, a little stronger in cultivation, a little higher in title, and a little more famous.
Based on looks alone, how can one be considered a handsome man?
Unexpectedly, he is only ranked among the top five beauties in Linzi after Li Zhengshu, Zhong Xuanzun, Jiang Wuxie and Ji Zhaonan.
These girls and wives in Linzi are so superficial!
Jiang Wuxie was on the list because of his status as a prince, let alone him.
Ji Zhaonan was just the first one to sell, and Chong Xuanzun was especially flirtatious. Especially Li Zhengshu, how old is he! How come he is ranked first? Yulangjun is almost like Grandpa Yu, he is so old.
The aesthetics of women in Qi State is really open to question!
Zhongxuansheng was very unhappy with the newly released list of Lao Shizi’s most beautiful men, and felt very sorry that the world had not been able to appreciate his fatness, so it was difficult for him to speak in a good tone: “Yes, Bao Zhongqing treats you like this, loves you so deeply, and even You died. If you don’t participate in his funeral, you, Jiang Qingyang, will definitely get a reputation as unkind and unjust!"
Thanks to the book friend "Huainan Youzhi" for becoming the leader of this book, it is the 362nd alliance!
I was so dizzy when I wrote "He Soars to the Sky" that I forgot to thank Huai Meng, which I really shouldn't have done.
Come on, give me a hug.
…
…
I estimate that the normal update schedule will be restored the day after tomorrow.
