Chapter 243 Are you still willing to join the Bai family tree?

Bai Ruozhu was shocked. How could a junior directly pull the elder's beard? This kid can't even sit down, he's so naughty.

"Dengdeng, let go, or else I'm going to get spanked!" Bai Ruozhu whispered, but it was obvious that the child didn't care about her at all, or he didn't understand what she meant.

Bai Ruozhu was worried. Isn't this kid usually pretty good? She would bite her even if she said she wanted to remarry, why couldn't she understand and let him let go?

Bai Lu smiled and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. This kid is bold and fun. He likes me as a grandfather at first sight."

Xiao Dengdeng let go of his hand at this moment, but chuckled at Bai Lu again.

"Grandpa Patriarch, I'm really sorry." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

"What do children know?" Bai Lu told Bai Ruozhu not to worry, and then asked: "Are you still willing to add this child to our Bai family's family tree?"

Bai Ruozhu had said before that she was not interested in joining the Bai family tree, and had also said that she would establish her own family, but that was not because she had any objection to the Bai family, but because the old man used this to threaten her and scare her, which made her very unhappy. But if she could be included in the family tree, why wouldn't she be happy?

Genealogy in ancient times was very important. For example, if you wanted to take part in the imperial examination in the future, you would not only have to be recommended by someone, but you would also have to submit your household registration and genealogy. Even if you want to become an official, you will need to check your genealogy, which is similar to modern archives. The Bai family is considered a big family in this area. If no one stops it, it will be a good thing to enter the Bai family tree.

Naturally, she didn't want to make it too troublesome if she could do something simple.

Seeing that she seemed a little worried, Bai Lu said with a smile: "I still have the final say on this matter. You don't have to worry about others."

This is what others refer to as Bai Fu. Outsiders can't understand it, but people in the Bai family understand it.

"Grandpa Patriarch, my son's surname is Bai. The name chosen by the county magistrate is Bai Chengtai. Naturally, he will be included in the Bai family tree. As long as no one objects, it will be fine." Bai Ruozhu said.

"Then come to my house on the 15th of this month, and I will organize a genealogy ceremony for your child. I will ask your grandfather to go to the branch meeting, and you don't have to worry." Bai Lu said and looked at Deng Deng again. "This kid is smart, you have to train him well."

Bai Ruozhu was very happy after hearing this. She hugged Deng Deng and blessed Bai Lu, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa Patriarch."

Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er also came over to express their thanks, saying they would never forget the patriarch's kindness.

"Don't thank me. You helped Zeji come up with such a good idea, and I haven't thanked you yet." Bai Lu said with a smile.

Bai Zeji echoed: "Yes, I never thought that I would go to see Mr. Wu later and beg him to accept me as his disciple."

"You can live in Houshan Village. If your parents are worried, they can live in my courtyard. Anyway, there are several rooms available." Bai Yihong smiled and patted Bai Zeji on the shoulder, "Study hard and be sure to give it to me." Your father, mother, and grandfather are fighting over each other."

Bai Zeji nodded seriously, "I will work hard and live up to my uncle's family's help."

Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and whispered to Bai Zeji: "Cousin Zeji, you can live in the main room, or my second brother's room is fine, but no one else lives in the new house. My eldest brother will welcome his bride there in a while." , for a new house.”

As soon as he said this, Bai Zehao's face turned red, but Bai Zeji laughed, "I understand, there will definitely be no one to live in. I will also sweep the dust every day to keep it clean for Brother Zehao."

Everyone laughed, and Bai Zehao also laughed, but he smiled shyly and a little sweetly. Thinking that he would soon marry a wife and start a family, and marry the person he likes, he was in a particularly good mood, feeling Everything seemed like a dream.

When Bai Lu and the two were about to leave, Bai Ruozhu had already wrapped some newly made hand cakes for the two of them and told them to take them home to taste for their families. Bai Lu wanted to pay Bai Yihong money, but Bai Yihong refused. If he refused, the two began to give in.

"Grandpa, the patriarch, we are entering the family tree in your family. Incense, candles, and fruit offerings all cost money. If you are polite to us now, we will definitely give you money when you are fifteen. There are so many points in a family." ?" Bai Ruozhu saw the two people arguing and said to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu thought about it and had no choice but to collect the money.

After the two people left, Lin Ping'er said with emotion: "Look at how reasonable the heads of the family are. Some of these people are more selfish and self-interested when they study. On the contrary, those who have not studied are hard-working and hard-working, and they are more humane." .”

Bai Yihong sighed slightly, and it was obvious that these words made him feel uncomfortable.

Bai Ruozhu bumped her mother with her elbow, which made Lin Ping'er feel uncomfortable, but she felt sorry for her husband and didn't say anything more.

Bai Zehao said thoughtfully: "I think this character has nothing to do with the amount of education, but a matter of education. In the future, our children, whether they are studying or not, will not be able to learn to be as selfish as the uncle."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, her eldest brother was right, the second brother was also a scholar, but the second brother was willing to endure hardships and never felt that he was special or superior to other people in the family. He always helped the family share the labor and was not shy about going to the fields, so he cultivated Today’s second brother. If her family dotes on the second brother who is studying like the old man does, I am afraid that the second brother will become the next Bai Yibo.

But Bai Fu couldn't have the same idea as them. Bai Fu himself was a scholar favored by his father, and even looked down on his mud-legged brother. Even though he had always been supported by his younger brother, he still felt that it was what his younger brother should do. , because he is a scholar, he always has this sense of superiority in his heart. So when it came to his eldest son, it was still the same. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Bai Yibo's selfishness at all.

Not long after, everything on the stall was sold out, and Bai Ruozhu's family closed the stall and returned to the west courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, Bai Ruozhu found Yu Hongxiu chatting with Fang Guizhi in the west courtyard. He stood up as soon as he saw her, obviously looking for her in an emergency.

Bai Ruozhu's eyelids twitched, it was Yu Hongxiu who came to ask.

Yu Hongxiu pulled Bai Ruozhu to talk alone, and asked: "What happened to you today? Something doesn't look right to me. You don't seem like someone who would get angry with Mrs. Li. Why don't you accept her consultation fee?" Don’t you want to eat together too?”

"Sister Hongxiu, please stop introducing doctors to Mrs. Li and stop interfering in this matter." Bai Ruozhu didn't want to talk to anyone, but she had to remind Yu Hongxiu that she didn't want to see Mr. Xie and his wife in danger.

After all, Yu Hongxiu was the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family. She looked at Bai Ruozhu in surprise and asked, "Is there something wrong with Mrs. Li's health?"

"She's not sick, but someone gave her chronic poison." Bai Ruozhu lowered his voice, "If you think about it, someone who could poison her for a long time without being able to detect it by the doctor must have an unusual identity. We may not be able to offend her. .”
