Chapter 3308 Can bend and stretch

Bai Shan lowered his eyes and said after being silent for a while: "Your Majesty, this minister is an only son, and his father died young, so he would have grown up in the palm of his hand, but in my memory, my grandmother never condone me, When I was young, I would grow ginger and sell it for money, and I would go to work in the fields."

Bai Shan leaves the palace on the front foot, and the reward from the emperor and the queen on the back foot arrives.

Because Zhou Man had done a good job in seeing a doctor for Mrs. Yin, the empress rewarded her with something. He heard that her eldest son Xia Mu had just washed three times, so the empress gave him a longevity lock.

Xia Mu's name appeared on the imperial edict, and his name was set. If it was a big family like Wang Cui, maybe they could still fight for reasons and not let the emperor interfere in their own affairs, Bai clan...

The Bai family didn't have this confidence, so after the imperial decree came down, no clan members would quarrel with Mrs. Liu and Bai Shan, but they were so angry that it made life difficult for those who stayed in Longzhou to take care of the family business.

Mrs. Liu thought for a while before looking for Bai Shan and said, "Since you gave them a blow to the head, then you have to stuff them with a sweet date. It's better to break up with each other than to get married, and we're still from the same clan, so we can't split up for a while. "

Bai Shan: "What dates does grandma want to give them?"

Mrs. Liu said: "Because of the opening of the women's school in Beijing, the academy has also prospered. Many teachers came to Beijing to teach this year, and more students came to study. I want to say that there are still not enough students from the family who come to Beijing to study. Duo, you write a letter and go back and choose some young people from the clan to come and study."

She said: "It's just about character and knowledge, regardless of family background, we will provide them with room and board and repairs in the capital. Besides, you can sort out your reading notes in previous years, send them to the Hui family, and let someone who wants to transcribe them."

Bai Shan opened his mouth wide, "Grandma..."

Madam Liu raised her chin slightly, her face was kind, but her eyes were full of arrogance: "Since you can't split the clan in a short time, you and Ziqian will have to face the clan in the remaining decades. The two of you, one is arrogant, the other is stubborn, and your character is too rigid."

"But a man, when you can bend and stretch, you have grown up, and you are a father. It's time to learn to surrender." Mrs. Liu said: "You should handle this matter yourself, and you should not leave it to others."

Bai Shan stood for a while unconvinced, and finally bowed his head and said "yes".

Leaning on the couch at night, separated from Zhou Man by a screen, the more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became. He couldn't help but ask, "Manbao, am I proud?"

Zhou Man yawned, pulled up the quilt to cover himself, closed his eyes and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Bai Shan: "I think I'm a person who can bend and stretch, but my grandmother still says I'm too arrogant. In the officialdom, I've also pretended to be my grandson to show weakness over the years, okay?"

Zhou Man thought for a while and said, "Ao! Lord Wei once told me that if one day I can kneel on the ground under the circumstance of being reasonable, everyone in the world will think that I am sincere and kneeling. When you're on the ground, you can bend and stretch."

Bai Shan murmured, "Think?"

"Yeah, I think it's just what the world thinks, it's not that you give in from the bottom of your heart," Zhou Man said, "I've thought about it, I think that bit of arrogance in my heart is Shen, and the world thinks it's yielding."

Bai Shan sat up from the couch, crossed his legs to face the screen, and asked, "Can you do it?"

"No." Zhou Mandao said, "I once imagined that one day, the King Gong I hate arrogantly scolds me as a quack doctor, poor medical skills, etc. I definitely can't kneel down and admit my fault."

She said "oh": "So I have to practice it again. Knowing in my heart is one thing, but being able to do it is another."

Zhou Man talked himself up, opened his eyes, and propped himself up to look at the screen, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

Bai Shandao: "My grandmother asked me to have a good relationship with the clan. This time my grandmother won't help me, and let me come forward. She said that I was too arrogant, and a man should be able to bend and stretch."

"How to make a good relationship? You just put them together, and they must be angry at this moment. They have small stomachs, and maybe they will hate you to death."

Bai Shan stretched out his arms and legs and lay down on the couch, saying, "My grandmother asked me to select some teenagers from the clan to study in Beijing, and we will be responsible for the board, lodging, and repairs; and then send my notes back to the people in the clan who are studying. copy."

Of these two, the former does not say, the latter also pays a lot.

The most rare thing for readers to read is resources, the resources of books and materials.

But Zhou Man is the one who sits in the entire encyclopedia, and Mr. Mo's manuscripts are casually flipped through, so she doesn't think it's a big effort, but instead focuses on the first item, "Grandma, this is for you to cultivate yourself in the clan. power?"

Because Bai Shan always had the idea of ​​dividing the clan, and he had a bad impression of the clan since he was a child, he basically did not interact with the clan.

Their family and clan are all maintained by Mrs. Liu, and the two of them only need to work hard to support their family.

At this time, the children of Bai Shan's support clan are admitted to school, obviously it is not just to make a good relationship.

Bai Shan nodded and said: "I am the most promising one in the clan now, and it is because of Bai's status in the aristocratic family, they will not let me split the sect, so they want to split the sect, and it has not been for decades. possible."

"Grandmother means that there are still several decades. I have to live a good life and have a bad relationship with the clan. It's okay to have my grandmother now, wait for the future..." Bai Shan said after a pause: "Only I'm afraid we will suffer."

Zhou Man immediately said, "Then go quickly and do as grandma's arrangement."

Bai Shan clicked his tongue and said, "I think with my toes and thumbs, how many people will laugh at me when I return this letter."

"See if you're arrogant," Zhou Man said. "You don't even mind people laughing at you. Can you bear it when they humiliate you in words and actions?"

Across a screen, she shook her head and said, "My lord, be able to bend and stretch!"

Bai Shan pulled the quilt up to cover himself, "I fell asleep."

Zhou Man snorted twice and closed his eyes to sleep.

The next day, Bai Shan wrote to Longzhou and started to organize his notes.

He was reluctant to give out some particularly important and special notes, so he kept them well and planned to leave them to the children when they grew up.

So his notes were a bit broken, so he flipped through Zhou Man's notes and found some to put together.

But in the study, what came up the most was Bai Erlang's notes.

I just don't remember well.

Bai Shan flipped it in disgust, put it aside, and called the servant: "Go to the princess's mansion and ask the young master. I have a lot of notes and books he left behind. Ask him if he wants it."

The next person walked away.

There are only two changes today, I will make up for it tomorrow, good night
