Chapter 959 Don’t Expect a Good Year
Baiyunxi didn't feel anxious anymore after hearing Xiao Wu's calm breath.
"Yishan is right. There is a madman assassinating you at the emperor's feet. If you suffer today, someone else will suffer tomorrow. Jingzhao Mansion cannot escape its responsibility."
Saying that, Bai Yunxi looked at Xiao Wu and reminded softly,
"Even if the Jingzhao Mansion can't catch the rioters, they still have to find something to do for them. Who will let chaos happen in Kyoto under his jurisdiction? If the Chinese New Year won't let us have a good time, then let's all make trouble together."
Xiaowu is a third-grade official. Who dares to take the risk to attack him?
Maybe it was the guy with sperm on his brain, but his brain was suspended before giving the order. Otherwise, a normal person would not attack Xiao Wu at this moment.
Especially in broad daylight.
Xiao Wu was lying on the bed, listening to my mother's tone, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Don't worry, Jingzhao Mansion will definitely give me an explanation for today's matter."
It's also his fault for being careless, thinking that no one would be so bored during the Chinese New Year. Sure enough, people can't take chances and fall into trouble easily.
"Then you should have a good rest. I have asked Xiaosi to call Wenyou back." Bai Yunxi looked at his annoyed expression and curled her lips.
It doesn't matter how Jingzhao Mansion investigates her, as long as she doesn't sit idle. But she believed in the results of Wenyou's investigation more.
Listening to his mother's plan, Xiao Wu thought about it and didn't object. In fact, he could make a rough guess even without Sister Wen.
Ever since the official family relied on him, he had an idea of how many people looked at him as an eyesore. But matters in the court should not be discussed at home, nor should the family be worried.
His mother had told him a long time ago that men have ambitions all over the world, and their brothers should take care of things outside the family.
"It's okay, we can rest assured that Sister Wen is with mother."
After listening to Xiao Wu's reminder, Bai Yunxi did not refuse.
Seeing the whole family surrounding Xiaowu, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, he waved his hands directly,
"Okay, let's all go back and let Xiao Wu have a good rest."
Waiting for people to go out one after another, Bai Yunxi looked at her daughter-in-law and sighed. This person was sitting on the edge of the bed for a while, without even changing his position. He just stared at the person, as if the person could fly away in the blink of an eye.
"Yishan, you should go and rest too. The girl and the mother-in-law are taking care of you. Why are you worried? Xiaowu's injury is not serious. He will recover after a few days of rest."
After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Zhang Yishan raised her head and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Don't worry, Mom, I know that I won't let myself get tired."
Since getting married, this was the first time such a big thing happened to Guanren. It was when she was pregnant, and she couldn't accept it for a while.
But I also know deep down that these things are simply out of my control. Her father once mentioned to her that officials will encounter many obstacles in their career, so she should be mentally prepared and be a good wife.
After encouraging herself, Zhang Yishan took a deep breath and felt that she was doing well again.
Bai Yunxi looked at her and thought to herself that there were still several months before the birth. If not, it would be better to invite her mother-in-law to come and live with her daughter for more than half a year.
Before leaving, Bai Yunxi thought of the chance encounter at Putuo Temple and couldn't help but look back.
"I should have discovered your father's life experience."
"What?"
Xiao Wu was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to get up, pulling at the wound, hissing, and was immediately supported by Zhang Yishan.
"Officials, be careful of your wounds."
Baiyunxi: "..."
What are you so excited for?
"Mom, how is your father's life experience?"
Xiaowu asked Gingko to put a soft pillow behind him, and looked at his mother anxiously. He had known what happened to his father. He was picked up by his grandfather, gave him his surname, and raised him as an adopted son. It is for this reason that after my father and mother got married, everyone in the village said that my father was the son-in-law who came to live with them, and my father never explained.
Now my father is lying with his grandparents at the foot of the mountain behind Willow Bay. It would be great to find out his father's life experience.
My father left his hometown for so many years and stayed with his mother in Willow Bay. His final departure was so outrageous, and he must have felt a lot of unwillingness in his heart.
Listening to Xiao Wu's voice, Bai Yunxi was stunned. In his memory, Lao Juren was so angry that he couldn't take a breath.
After being stabbed in the back by a friend, I felt aggrieved, furious, and had a heart attack.
...It does not rule out that Lao Juren did all this and worked hard just to prove to his family that he could live well even without the family's blessing.
It's just that the person is a little out of touch, which doesn't make him feel proud.
"It's the begonia flower jade pendant your father left behind. I met the Tang family by chance at Putuo Temple today, that is, the imperial censor Tang family. The jade pendant hanging on the young man of the Tang family is exactly the same as the jade pendant left by your father."
Bai Yunxi said, looking at Xiao Wu's surprised look,
"To confirm, I also asked. Mrs. Tang said that each husband of the Tang family has a jade plaque. The words engraved on the jade plaque represent a person's identity, and the girls have jade pendants made of Begonia flowers."
"I've seen your father's jade plaque. The word "Hui" was engraved under the branch of Begonia. Your grandfather gave him a temporary name using this word."
Bai Yunxi said, using the cover of her sleeve pocket to take out a flawless white jade pendant from the locker, but the blue tassels on it were a little worn.
Xiao Wu took the jade sign, looked over it several times, and then fell silent.
He had never seen this jade pendant belonging to his father, and he had never seen his mother take it out after that. It turned out that it had always been kept close to her body.
Mom has always been thinking about dad's life experience, so she is so concerned about him.
It was also because he was so incompetent as a son. Although he had inquired secretly, he had no clue at all.
He had met Imperial Envoy Tang several times in private, and they were just nodding acquaintances. He had also seen the jade pendant on his waist. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed a pattern of crabapple flowers.
Hearing Xiaowu's thoughts, Bai Yunxi was stunned. What do you mean by keeping it close to her? Is she afraid of losing it?
At the very least, this piece of white jade is worth a lot of money.
You little brat, don't accuse her of anything.
Your parents have reunited in the underworld, and who knows how they will be watching you jumping around with dog food.
"What is mother going to do?"
Hearing Xiaowu's question, Bai Yunxi raised her eyebrows, "This mother wants to hear your opinion."
She didn't really care whether the old scholar could recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestral home.
A person who has lived away from home for decades and has not explained anything to the original owner after he became seriously ill, proves that the old scholar is probably not very eager to return home.
People in this period valued bloodline and family. Xiaowu and his friends were the sons of the old scholar. She could understand their desire to fight for their father, but she did not encourage them.
They are all gone, right?
Xiaowu pondered for a moment,
"Dad has been away from their family for decades. Even if he is the bloodline of the Tang family, things have changed a lot. When Dad died, he did not mention the family. There must be some secrets that we don't know."
