Two days later, Han Su successfully returned to Beijing from Lingnan to report on his duties. After meeting the emperor in court, he was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple and was given many rewards.
The news soon spread back to the Bai family in Wuhou Mansion.
In the Bai family, under the leadership and arrangements of Mrs. Bai, the entire Wuhou Mansion was in full preparedness, waiting for Han Su's arrival.
Mrs. Bai also attaches great importance to this. After all, Han Su's promotion after returning to Beijing is not small. He was directly promoted to Marble Shaoqing. This is a fourth-grade official with real power. His rank is the same as that of Bai Zheng's Minister of Rites, and he has the power of Dali Temple. His influence is much greater than that of the Ministry of Rites, and he is directly in charge of criminal law.
To put it bluntly, now that Han Su has returned to Beijing and been promoted to the rank of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, his influence in the court will be no less than that of Bai Zhengdu, the head of the Bai family in Wuhou Mansion.
In addition, Han Su himself is the uncle of the Bai family. With this relationship, Han Shiyin has been staying with the Bai family when Han Su was demoted to Lingnan. With this relationship, it is naturally easier for Han Su to get close to him.
Therefore, Mrs. Bai paid great attention to Han Su's next visit, and directly called everyone in the inner palace to prepare to welcome Han Su with everyone when he arrived.
This time Bai Yuxian also came to the team. After all, he didn't care who else Mrs. Bai and others wanted to welcome, but Han Su couldn't. This was his future father-in-law.
Zhen also came to the scene with Xiang Ling and the maid.
Naturally, Han Shiyin was also there, but at this moment, Han Shiyin was not with Bai Yuxian and the others, but was pulled to his side by Old Lady Bai.
Obviously Mrs. Bai wanted to use this to draw Han Su's favor towards her and the entire Bai family.
Bai Yuxian could naturally see Old Taijun Bai's intention, but he didn't care.
As the saying goes, if you don't burn incense on a regular basis, you can't find anything about Han Shiyin's living conditions in the Bai family these years after Han Su arrives.
Han Shiyin was also smart and realized her grandmother's intentions. She felt a little disgusted and uncomfortable in her heart. However, when she thought about the years she had lived in the Bai family, she had suffered a lot because of her grandmother's pampering and preference for Bai Yusheng. In addition, his grandmother also cares about him.
As the saying goes, kindness is kindness and resentment is resentment. I cannot completely reject the other party's kindness to me just because I am wronged by my grandmother's doting and preference for Bai Yusheng.
In addition, it is also a great joy for my father to come back and be promoted today, so although I feel a little disgusted and uncomfortable with my grandmother's behavior, I do not choose to have an attack, but the scale in my heart is clear.
Mrs. Wang and Bai Yusheng's mother and son also followed closely beside Mrs. Bai.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang looked at Han Shiyin and Bai Yuxian with extremely regretful eyes.
She didn't expect that Han Su would make a comeback after being demoted. He could still return to Beijing and be promoted to Marble Shaoqing.
If she had known this earlier, she would have asked her son Bai Yusheng to take the initiative against Han Shiyin and take down Han Shiyin before Bai Yuxian's rise came to the fore. In this case, Han Su, the marble young minister, would become her son Bai Yusheng's in the future. Help in the court.
But now, everything is cheaper for Bai Yuxian.
Bai Yuxian was already at the top of his game, and now that he has Han Su as his father-in-law, the young minister of Dali Temple, his career as an official will only become smoother and smoother.
Seeing how Bai Yuxian was doing well, Mrs. Wang felt even worse than when she was not doing well.
pain!
It hurts so much!
Mrs. Wang was so heartbroken and regretful.
Bai Yusheng, who was beside Mrs. Wang, also felt unhappy at the moment. Looking at the increasingly beautiful Han Shiyin in his sight, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
Sister Shiyin is getting more and more beautiful, and now she has become the daughter of the young minister of Dali Temple.
But sister Shiyin has become someone else's woman.
The more Bai Yusheng thought about it, the more his heart ached, and the more he looked at Han Shiyin in front of him, the more uncomfortable he became.
But immediately, Bai Yusheng shifted his gaze and looked at Liu Yiren who was also as beautiful as Han Shiyin behind her.
Thought no.
Without sister Shiyin, I still have sister Yiren.
In half a month, the autumn exam will begin. As long as I take the high school exam in the autumn and win the championship, I will definitely win the heart of my sister Yiren.
Looking at the equally beautiful Liu Yiren beside him, Bai Yusheng's fighting spirit suddenly rekindled in his heart.
Especially when I think that if I can surpass Bai Yuxian in this autumn test, it will be even more shameful and proud.
After waiting for about half an hour, Han Su finally arrived. Along with Han Su was Bai Zheng, who came back from the court together.
"Old lady, here we come. Master Han and Master Zheng are back from the next court."
The boy quickly ran in from outside to report.
"Here we come." Mrs. Bai's face instantly showed joy, and then she took Han Shiyin's hand and said, "Let's go, Shiyin, let's go to the door to pick up your father. Over the years, I think he has also suffered a lot in Lingnan. , but fortunately everything is fine now."
Under the leadership of Mrs. Bai, the group quickly arrived at the gate. At this time, the carriages riding in Han Su and Bai Zheng also slowly arrived at the gate.
The two stepped out of the carriage.
Bai Yuxian couldn't help but look at Han Su. Han Su looked like he was in his forties and was thin, but his face was quite handsome. He had a goatee and a strong literati atmosphere, like He is a handsome middle-aged scribe.
"Han Su pays homage to the old lady. I haven't seen him for many years. The old lady is still in good health. You are well."
Han Su got off the carriage and immediately saluted Mrs. Bai.
"Okay, okay, everything is fine. You are worried." When Mrs. Bai saw Han Su getting out of the car, she saluted and said hello to her as soon as possible. The vanity in her heart was instantly greatly satisfied, and her face suddenly smiled like a woman. Like Maitreya Buddha.
"Daddy." Han Shiyin couldn't help but walked out and looked at Han Su and shouted, with an excited look on her face.
"Shiyin." Han Su's eyes immediately fell on Han Shiyin. Looking at such a graceful daughter who was now born, his face couldn't help showing excitement and joy.
When he demoted her to Lingnan, Han Shiyin was less than twelve years old. Lingnan was difficult and the journey was long, so for safety, he left Han Shiyin in the Bai family.
Now, after several years of separation, the father and daughter finally meet again. Looking at such a graceful daughter who has fully grown up and matured in front of him, Han Su can't help but feel a little moist in his eyes.
Then Han Su looked at the crowd again, immediately locked on Bai Yuxian, and took the initiative to say with a smile.
"You must be Jade Immortal."
"Yu Xian has met his uncle and congratulates him on his return."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuxian immediately stepped forward and bowed to Han Su.
Han Su looked at Bai Yuxian carefully and saw that Bai Yuxian was not only a jade tree facing the wind, but also had an extraordinary demeanor as if he were a banished immortal. She also behaved like a humble gentleman in every word and deed. He couldn't help but become more and more satisfied as he looked at her. In addition, in addition to previous communications, He had already learned about Bai Yuxian from his letter, and knew that this was his future son-in-law, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed immediately.
"Okay, okay, indeed, you are the best among people, and you are a talented person. I am completely relieved that Shiyin can be with you from now on."
"Uncle, don't worry. In this life, Yuxian will definitely take good care of sister Shiyin and will not let sister Shiyin suffer any injustice."
Bai Yuxian also promised.
Han Su immediately nodded with satisfaction.
Regardless of whether Bai Yuxian can do what he said, at least he is very happy to say so now.
Then a group of people entered the mansion.
Mrs. Bai also arranged a big banquet to welcome Han Su and wash away his dust.
——
Three days later, Dali Temple Shaoqing Mansion, Han family.
Bai Yuxian and her future father-in-law Han Su were sitting in a garden pavilion, leisurely sipping herbal tea and playing chess.
"I didn't expect that Yuxian is not only good at civil and military skills, but also has such attainments in chess."
Han Su couldn't help but sigh. He had been busy in the past three days because he had just returned to Beijing. Today, he had some free time, so he brought Bai Yuxian over to prepare for a good chat with Bai Yuxian and his son-in-law.
Knowing that Bai Yuxian likes to play chess, and he happens to like it on weekdays, he pulled Bai Yuxian to play. He has always been confident in his chess skills. After all, after decades of chess skills, he thought that he would make many mistakes in dealing with Bai Yuxian. But he didn't expect that Bai Yuxian's chess skills were far superior to his own.
If Bai Yuxian hadn't kept secretly letting him go, he would have lost long ago.
"Uncle, you are overly complimentary." Bai Yuxian smiled, talking to Han Su while making his move.
"The Autumn Examination is coming soon. I wonder if Yuxian has any plans for her next step, as well as the Wuhou Mansion. They should start their own business and start a family as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will end up relying on others." Han Su added.
In the past three days since he came back, he had secretly investigated the specific information about Bai Yuxian and the situation of the Bai family in Wuhou Mansion, so he said this.
In his opinion, if Bai Yuxian wants to make a difference in the future, it is necessary to leave Wuhou Mansion to establish his own family. Otherwise, unless Bai Yuxian can take over Wuhou Mansion, he will always be dependent on others.
And how can those who do great things be left to others?
"What my father-in-law said is true, and Yuxian has already had this intention. After the autumn examination in September, there will be the martial arts examination in October. For this imperial examination, Yuxian is planning to participate in the martial arts examination in addition to the autumn examination. In this way, the civil and military examination In parallel, for this martial arts examination, Yuxian’s current cultivation level has also reached the martial arts Xuangang, and he should be able to compete for the top spot in this martial arts examination.”
"If he can win the top prize in martial arts, then Yuxian should be able to take advantage of it to enter the officialdom first. At that time, Yuxian will also move out of Wuhou Mansion and set up his own business, so that it will be convenient for him to marry Shiyin."
Bai Yuxian also told the general plan in his heart.
Han Su immediately nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
"Since Yuxian has a plan, my father-in-law won't say much. I believe that with Yuxian's ability, everything can be arranged properly. If there is anything you need my father-in-law's help with, just ask."
