After Bai Xiao saw his family, he led them to where he lived.
Along the way, Bai Qianshan looked around with a calm face and didn't say much.
Mrs. Bai kept looking at her son with tears in her eyes and excitement.
Bai Xiao's younger brothers and sisters are much more lively.
"Wow! The green tiles and red walls are so beautiful! This house is so big and luxurious! Brother, I want to live in this house!" Bai Yunyun pointed to the tall and spacious Ming Hall.
Bai Xiao's face was hot, "Shut up!"
"Mom, look at brother! He is so mean to me when we first meet him!" Bai Yunyun held Mrs. Bai's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Is it your turn to choose? You can live wherever eldest brother tells you!" Bai Yang said with a smile, "Don't worry, eldest brother is already a high official! Can I still lose you?"
When Bai Xiao heard this... his face became even hotter, "Don't say a few words! It's not what you think..."
"Brother, can't you call us a sedan to sit in?" Bai Yunyun stood there, refusing to move, "My legs are sore from walking!"
"The people who brought us here rode horses and sedans! Instead, they asked us to come on foot! Your mansion is so big! You didn't even arrange a sedan for us?"
Bai Yang also nodded and said, "That's right, it doesn't matter if we don't have a sedan chair to sit on, but you won't arrange a sedan chair for my parents? If you become a high official, can you look down on your parents?"
Bai Xiao lowered his head and looked for cracks in the ground...
From time to time, there could be heard muttering or snickering in surprise from servants passing by.
"Are these all your servants? Why do they disrespect you so much? They don't say hello when they see us, and they don't say hello when they see you, the great master?"
Bai Yang spat on the ground, "Not yet in our mountain..."
Mrs. Bai quickly covered his mouth, "Forgot? We are the Bai family of Nanyang!"
Bai Yang nodded repeatedly, "You haven't gained face among our Nanyang Bai clan yet!"
Bai Xiao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth... He was also a shameless person. When he left the village, he vowed not to become famous or go back to see his family.
Unexpectedly... now at such an embarrassing time, the family is gathered together again.
Not only did he fail to make a name for himself, he instead became a groom...
"Eh? Why don't you see those people who left with you?" Bai Yang suddenly asked, "Have you arranged work for them?"
Bai Xiao was about to scold his younger brother...
Suddenly, Dou Tou poured a basin of cold water on his question.
Bai Xiao looked at Bai Yang in shock, then looked at Bai Qianshan, "Weren't they... kidnapped by the people in the village?"
Bai Qianshan's family also looked at him in surprise, "When did it happen? Who robbed it back?"
"No... no?" Bai Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, "This is not the place to talk, go back and talk!"
Bai Xiao quickly led the family to the house where he lived.
He slept in a large bunk, and there were several other grooms' bunks in the room.
But at this moment, other grooms were either on duty or cleaning the carriages and serving the horses.
There was no one else in the room.
Bai Yang and Bai Yunyun pinched their noses and screamed as soon as they entered the house.
"Ah! It stinks! Such a small house!" Bai Yunyun said, "Brother, why do you live in this place? You don't live in the rich and gorgeous house in front of you, but you live here? This Datongpu! Whose does this belong to? Smelly shoes? Whose stinky socks are it?"
Bai Yunyun kicked the other grooms' shoes and socks into the corner.
"Don't move, don't move!" Bai Xiao shouted, "That's Brother Li's stuff. He doesn't let others touch his stuff!"
"Who is Brother Li? Brother, isn't this your mansion? Aren't you a high official in Kyoto?" Bai Yang asked in shock.
Bai Xiao's brows knitted into knots.
Bai Yunyun cried loudly, "Ugh, I don't live here! I want to live in the big house in front! It's big and bright! A big house with red bricks and green tiles!"
Bai Qianshan and Madam Bai already understood that things were not as simple as they thought.
"Bai Yang! Take your sister out to play for a while and keep an eye on some people. We have something to talk with your brother!" Bai Qianshan ordered in a deep voice.
Bai Yang is already a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old, and Bai Yunyun is only a child of seven or eight years old.
Bai Yunyun is not sensible, but Bai Yang can already distinguish the expressions and tone of his parents.
He didn't dare to complain anymore and had to drag his sister out of the room.
"What on earth is going on?" Bai Qianshan looked at Bai Xiao with a sullen face.
Bai Xiao took a deep breath and knelt down, "I didn't become a high official...I am now working as a groom here."
"Groomman?!" Madam Bai's voice rose a few degrees.
She stood up immediately to leave.
"Where are you going!?" Bai Qianshan yelled.
Madam Bai's face turned ugly, "I thought he was here to enjoy the blessings, but I didn't expect that he was just a groom. What blessings can we enjoy by following the groom?"
Bai Xiao's face was stiff.
Bai Qianshan's face didn't look good, "Then let's go! If you walk out of here, will you be arrested? Will you be thrown into jail? Ma Liu and the others were all arrested!"
Madam Bai paused... She suddenly remembered that there was no one else but her, the serious "Mrs. Yazhai".
All the concubines and children born by Bai Qianshan were taken away.
Now, I don’t know if they are in prison...or if they have been sent to some place of suffering.
Mrs. Bai immediately stopped talking. She went back and sat in front of her son.
"You said you are just a groom at the princess's palace?" Bai Qianshan squinted and touched his chin, "That's not right!"
"Did you know that there are only three people who picked our entire village? Not three thousand, not three hundred, not even thirty!"
"Only three! Moreover, except for the young man who dismounted when he asked me to do it... they didn't even need to dismount, and they gave us Walongzhai a great dismounting power!"
Bai Qianshan recounted bizarre experiences.
Bai Xiao immediately remembered that night, when the "Princess Princess" single-handedly tortured Ma Liu and the others.
He nodded heavily, "Yes, she is very powerful..."
"Why does such a powerful person give us the identity of 'Nanyang Bai'? Just to make you a groom? Impossible, right?" Bai Qianshan narrowed his eyes and stared at his son, "There must be other reasons! "
Bai Xiao's face suddenly turned red.
His eyes were evasive and his breathing was rapid.
Bai Qianshan said, "Now the whole family is a grasshopper tied to a rope. What else do you want to hide from your parents?"
Bai Xiao quickly shook his head, "No... no, I... I'm sorry for my parents' cultivation!"
His father sent him to study, and when he did, he looked down upon his father's way of making a living.
Unexpectedly, he became the male favorite of others...worse than his father.
He is shabby!
"Without you, we would all be prisoners now! Who would be able to sit here peacefully?"
Bai Qianshan said, "Although this house is not big, it is at least better than a prison, right? At least there is freedom? Come on, let's find a solution together as a family!"
Bai Xiao hesitated and said, "That princess...maybe, maybe, probably...is attracted to her son's face..."
After Bai Xiao finished speaking, he wanted to bury his face in his chest.
The room fell silent for a moment, and Bai Qianshan and Madam Bai didn't speak for a while.
Bai Xiao raised his head hesitantly and saw his parents looking at him with extremely burning eyes!
"What a good thing! Son!"
