Under night, inside the Bai family's mansion.
Shui Yan sat by the window in the guest room, staring at the stars in the sky, listening to the chirping of insects in his ears. He had been traveling for more than two months, and only at this moment could he sit down quietly and take a rest.
"Dad, Mom, have you had dinner?"
"Grandma, has your cold been better? Yan'er is fine!"
Feel the night breeze blowing from the window and brushing your face. Shui Yan thought of the home he had lived in since he was a child. I remember when I was a child, my parents were working in the fields and my brother was helping, but he was always unable to help.
Now that he is away, his parents should be preparing to save some money for their eldest brother and prepare to arrange a marriage.
That future eldest sister-in-law! But that family?
Grandma's cold weather has gotten better, but she's not used to living in her hometown anymore.
Waiting for "Feng Qing to pay homage to the general". When I go back, I must give my grandmother a prestige in the village. It makes those old men who laugh at their grandmothers unable to laugh.
The mountains and rivers are in foreign lands, but the wind and moon are in the same sky.
The moonlight that Yan'er sees here in Qin State can definitely be seen by you in Linzi, Qi State!
"In a while, Yan'er will go to the battlefield to gain fame!"
Shui Yan looked at the stars in the sky and whispered softly to the moonlight.
In this strange place, Shui Yan could only use this method to tell his parents and grandmother in his distant hometown. everything is fine!
He won't stay in Bai's for long.
Now he just has to wait for the Bai family to make arrangements so that he can join the army in Qin.
The path of enlisting as a soldier is certainly dangerous.
But it is the path that suits him best.
His innate soul allows him to see the souls of the dead, so there is no place more suitable for him than the battlefield.
Moreover, things are different now. The attacks and killings by Qin and the Six Kingdoms in the future are destined to happen, and are also his best opportunities!
He wanted to use his own hands to win the title of minister and general during the process of Qin's attack on the six kingdoms!
He will never let his grandmother’s words become the laughing matter of others!
...
In the study room of Bai's mansion.
Under more than a dozen candlelights, the entire study was illuminated by bright lights.
Originally, Bai Zhong just asked Bai Yan and others to discuss matters, but the younger members of the Nai He clan seemed to be unable to sleep.
Bai Zhong saw this.
He didn't bother to drive them away. After all, these descendants of the Bai family would one day grow up.
The Bai family will also be handed over to their hands.
"What, he actually took the initiative to cancel the engagement?"
"Is there something wrong with his mind? He doesn't want a marriage contract, he wants my surname of Bai. Could it be that he wants to become a member of our Bai clan?"
"The problem is with your brain. If he wants to become a member of our Bai family, why bother canceling the engagement!"
In the study room. The boys and girls of the Bai family started talking one after another.
In their eyes, the young man named Yan was probably not a fool.
Although the Bai family is indeed unwilling to marry Junzhu to the young man, if the young man insists on the marriage, the Bai family has nothing to do at the moment.
Who would have thought that before the Bai family could speak, the young man would take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
The reason is not for a huge sum of money, nor for asking the Bai family to give him fame and fortune.
As long as the Bai family gives him the surname Bai, he will be arranged to enlist in the army.
Why is this?
Is the surname Bai that important? Why can't they feel it?
Among the descendants of the Bai family, Bai Yingxue was also full of doubts. She didn't know how to describe the eldest sister's speechless look with her beautiful eyes in a daze.
Strange!
Very strange! !
This was Bai Yingxue's first feeling.
She didn't want to see her eldest sister marry that man, but she always felt something was strange. There was even a flash of doubt for a moment.
The man gave up his engagement with the eldest sister without any hesitation. He didn't even look at the eldest sister in a trance like other nobles.
Could it be...
Can't the eldest sister get into his eyes?
The moment this idea emerged, it was rejected by Bai Yingxue. This is absolutely impossible. Her eldest sister is a stunning beauty. With that person's appearance and status, none of them are worthy of her eldest sister.
"Father, this son is different from others!"
Uncle Bai looked at his father, Bai Zhong, and he didn't know what to say at this moment.
This was really the first time he saw such an 'understanding' person in the world. It's too direct.
Although they, the Bai family, were happy to see the young man so cheerful, it did sound too uncomfortable.
"Um!"
Bai Zhong responded, and then looked at Bai Yan lightly.
At this moment, Bai Yan was sitting on his knees in front of the tea table, saying nothing, and his face was ashen.
Obviously, the young man's words of not being too forceful made Bai Yan unable to let go until now.
"Zhong Yan, what do you think of him?"
Bai Zhong looked at Bai Yan and asked.
Among the four sons, the third has the highest official position and is now serving in the army.
But among the four sons, Bai Yan, the second in mind and businessman, is the first of the four.
Because he has been doing business for many years, he has met countless people and experienced the most things. Therefore, when thinking about things, he is better than the other three sons.
still. This incident originally started because of Bai Yan.
at the moment.
He wanted to ask Bai Yan what he thought of that boy.
"You think you are noble and self-righteous, huh."
Bai Yan said with resentment that only he could hear his voice.
Obviously at this moment, Bai Yan still couldn't calm down in his heart.
This kind of benefactor's heir cannot force others to tell him face to face. It's really uncomfortable.
Looking at his father's eyes, Bai Yan sighed before answering.
"This man's mind is indeed superior to his peers, and his temperament is introverted. Just now I saw that his hands are full of calluses. He must have practiced martial arts hard. And... he knows the Chinese character Qin!"
Bai Yan kept talking about the scene in the guest room that came to his mind.
As he spoke, Bai Yan's brows furrowed quietly, obviously he knew that the young man was not an ordinary nobleman.
At least in terms of ability and effort, it far exceeded expectations.
In the study room.
Listen to Bai Yan's words.
Uncle Bai and Bai Ji couldn't help but frown. This one thing seems inconspicuous, so it’s not surprising. But if you add it all up, put it on a boy who is under the age of fifteen.
Uncle Bai and Bai Ji both knew what this meant.
"this......"
"What?"
In the study room, the juniors of the Bai family, who were about the same size as Shui Yan, all looked at each other. You looked at me, I looked at you, with astonishment in their eyes.
If it were anyone else who said this, they would still be suspicious. But if it was what Zhong's father said, they all knew that it was definitely not false.
At this moment, they did not expect that there would be so many of the young man from the declining clan dressed in rags.
Among them, some have been smart since childhood, some have practiced martial arts, and some have studied talents from other countries (Bai Junzhu). But there is no one person who is equal to everyone.
Bai Yingxue looked at her father with widened beautiful eyes. Bai Junzhu on the side was also very surprised.
Bai Junzhu thought of the young man's appearance in the guest room that he broke off the engagement without hesitation. For some reason, it always made her feel a little uncomfortable.
After growing up, more and more people pursued her, and countless nobles came to propose marriage.
The young man just now was the first person who didn't care about her at all.
He was also the first person to break off the engagement with her without hesitation when everyone else wanted to marry her.
She didn't want to marry the young man, but she also didn't expect that the young man would terminate the engagement with her so decisively.
"Father, I, the Bai family, will definitely withdraw from this engagement. If the young man wants to join the army in my name, I, the Bai family, will give it to him. For Junzhu, the Meng family and the Li family are good matches."
At this time, Bai Ji spoke.
Bai Ji's words made the study become quiet again.
Everyone knows that Meng Tian and Meng Yi of the Meng family, and Li Xin of the Longxi Li family are indeed good matches for Junzhu.
In other words, for the Bai family, the Meng family and the Li family are the best choices for the Bai family.
After a while.
"Father, as Zi Ji said, he brought it up on his own now, not forced by me, the Bai family. I, the Bai family, just have to make up for it."
Uncle Bai also spoke to his father, Bai Zhong.
No matter what happened to the boy.
In public and private matters, when Bai Junzhu comes of age, betrothing to the Meng family or the Li family is the best choice.
As for this young man.
Just make up for it!
Bai Zhong listened to the words of his eldest son and fourth son, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Yes! I will meet him in person tomorrow."
