Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

"By the way, fourth child, your mother said that in your official position, you will draft an imperial edict for the emperor. You have to be extremely careful. The emperor came to our house on New Year's Eve last year and asked you to call me cousin. Please don't do it like a mallet."

The white wooden board warned the fourth son earnestly.

He hurriedly held the emperor's hand and called him his cousin. This was because he was a farmer and did not participate in any government affairs. The emperor, who was in a high position and had little family ties, found it very heartwarming to call him like this.

He is not stupid, he knows how to deal with the emperor.

But it's different when you become a minister. You will definitely have different opinions from the emperor.

The Emperor is one of the ten thousand people who will accompany you like a tiger. You can't let your future get in the way just because the Emperor is your cousin.

My fourth son has been studying abroad all the time, and he rarely has the opportunity to give advice.

Once caught, give it a good beating.

"Dad, don't worry, I know what's going on." Bai Panmei said.

Mrs. Zhen nodded aside, she believed in her son's sense of propriety.

It’s just that as a parent, you always want to give advice.

"Fourth, how much is your salary now?" Old Mrs. Bai asked a question directly to the soul.

Xiao Fuyuan not only sighed in his heart, there is no difference between ancient times and modern times.

Once a person becomes successful, he will always be asked about his job salary, and the next step is marriage.

She and Mom were back in her hometown, and her cousin, who had just graduated from college, was questioned repeatedly by everyone.

Bai Panmei smiled shyly and said: "The salary is not much, the annual salary is 40 taels, plus [-] hu of grain."

Things are expensive in the capital, and the Hanlin Academy is a Qingshui Yamen.

Bai Panmei originally vowed to rely on her salary to support her parents, grandmother, and younger sister, but when she actually joined the job, she found that she couldn't even afford a decent house.

No wonder those children of wealthy families rely on their family's full support for their expenses in the capital.

If it weren't for his third brother's business, I'm afraid he could only rent a small yard and live a tight life.

"It's quite a lot." Old Mrs. Bai said.

How old is the fourth child!

A young man of his age from Shenshu Village either farms or works as a long-term worker outside. It is good to be able to save two or three taels throughout the year.

Besides, now that the Bai family is rich, her expectation for Bai Panmei is not to get promoted and make a fortune, but to be a good and upright official.

"It's not enough to support you and it's not enough to support my sister." Bai Panmei felt even more ashamed after hearing what Mrs. Bai said.

Old Mrs. Bai said: "How much can I spend as an old woman? And your sister can't spend your money. If you go astray because you want to support me and your sister, you should be careful."

Mrs. Bai's tone was a little harsh at the end.

If the fourth child takes risks in the name of her and her granddaughter because of her low salary, don't blame her for taking extra care.

Bai Panmei was startled, knowing that her grandmother had misunderstood her meaning, and quickly apologized.

"Grandma, I didn't mean that."

"Fourth brother, grandma knows that you have no other thoughts. Grandma and I really don't need you to support us. Grandma means that you only need to be a good official." Xiao Fuyuan said to Bai Panmei.

Old Mrs. Bai nodded. After all, it was her granddaughter who understood her thoughts.

"Your sister is right. You don't have to worry about the money at home. You just have to be an official with no regrets." Mrs. Zhen said.

"Yes, fourth brother, you have to remember what your sister said." Bai Banban said and began to brainwash him. "But you can get the top prize this time because of your sister's good fortune. If you study hard in a cold window, you can get into the exam." Which student who is rushing to take the exam in Beijing is not studying hard, how come you can get the top prize? So you have to thank your sister." Xiao Fuyuan got a big headache when he heard this, but Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai were still crazy as an atmosphere team nod.

"Dad, the fourth brother's ability to win the top prize is his own fault and has nothing to do with me." Xiao Fuyuan defended the fourth brother.

"What has nothing to do with you? Look at how your second brother died after being admitted as a scholar. At that time, we didn't have you in our family. It was your fourth brother's turn to become the number one scholar in one go. Who else could be prosperous if it wasn't you? "

Bai Ban did not hesitate to drag his second son, who stayed behind in Shenshu Village, into the water, but also demanded that "the reason why the fourth son won the top prize is all due to his sister."

My little girl is too humble and always gives credit to her family members.

What's the matter?
Xiao Fuyuan looked at the fourth brother helplessly.

Fourth brother, I don’t take all the credit.

"Sister, you really contributed the most to my being able to get the top prize."

The fourth brother agreed very much with Bai Banban's statement. The reason why he won the top prize was indeed his sister's contribution.As early as after he won the first prize, he sighed in his heart immediately. After returning to Qingyun Lane, he discussed this issue with Bai Sanzhuang.

In order to prove that her sister had the greatest contribution, Bai Panmei started to give reasons. If her sister had not brought good luck to the family, the family would not have a good life. If they did not live a good life, the family would not have money for him to study... one by one. The source of this link lies in the good fortune that my sister brings to the family.

Xiao Fuyuan listened to Fourth Brother's impassioned statement and even believed it himself!

Bai Banban looked at his son with great satisfaction and said, "The fourth child deserves to be the number one scholar and has a high level of consciousness."

Bai Banpao paused and continued the brainwashing education: "In the future, you must not only support your sister, but more importantly, you must be a clean official and cannot be a traitor, so as not to ruin your sister's reputation."

Whatever concerns my sister, no matter how small it is, it is a big deal.

Bai Panmei had a solemn look on her face. She did not feel that her father's instructions were unnecessary at all. Instead, she solemnly assured Xiao Fuyuan: "Sister, I will be a good official and will not damage your reputation."

"Fourth brother, when can we arrive?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.

"It's just two more streets away." Bai Panmei said.

The carriage arrived at Zhuque Street, the busiest street in the entire capital.

Mrs. Zhen clenched her fingers. Back then, their Zhen Mansion was located in the middle of Zhuque Street.

I wonder who lived in the Zhen Mansion in the past?
Suddenly there was a noise from ahead, and then the carriage stopped moving.

"What's wrong?" Bai Panmei opened the curtain and asked.

"What else can we do? It's the old lady from the Zhenguo Palace who went to the suburbs to worship Buddha. It's such a big pomp. She hasn't come out yet. The whole street is blocked and no one can pass."

A young man carrying a hawking load outside said helplessly.

As soon as the boy carrying the burden finished speaking, he saw the servants of the Zhenguo Palace holding sticks to drive away the people who were passing by.

"It's so unreasonable. Zhuque Street does not belong to the Zhenguo Palace." Bai Panmei looked angrily and said that she was about to get off the carriage and go down to argue.

Mrs. Zhen grabbed Bai Panmei and said gently: "It's our first day in Beijing and we are already very tired, especially since your grandmother and sister want to go to Qingyun Lane to rest early. Don't worry about it today, let's take a detour. Bar."

Bai Panmei was about to retort, but was stopped by the white wooden eyes.

He had no choice but to obey his mother's advice and ordered the driver to take a detour.

"Everyone give way, everyone give way, the old lady is here." The servants of the Zhenguo Palace continued to drive away pedestrians.

Through the curtain of the carriage opened by Xiao Fuyuan, Mrs. Zhen saw from a distance a luxuriously decorated carriage parked at the entrance of the Zhenguo Palace, while the old lady of the Zhenguo Palace was being carried from the yard by an eight-carriage sedan. Go to the sedan chair.

Looking at the face of Zhen Guo Gongfu, Zhen couldn't help but shudder.
