With the imperial edict of pardon and conferment, Bai Yuxian was appointed as Tiance Zhonglang General, and the news that he was pardoned and consecrated to the fourth rank of General Tiance and then fully responsible for the preparation and preparation of the Tiance Army also spread thoroughly.
This news was astonishing. It spread like a hurricane throughout Chang'an City in less than half an hour, causing huge shock and heated discussion, and countless people were envious of it.
But few people are jealous, because although Bai Yuxian's pardon is enviable, Bai Yuxian's own talent and strength are also there. He won the first place in the autumn examination. The high school Jieyuan was the best among his peers in the capital. The martial arts examination was also completely outstanding. With a sweeping and invincible posture, he suppressed Li Guangbi, Nangong Yu and others with his sword.
This is a real combination of civil and military skills, and they are all invincible in front of you. It makes people feel jealous even if they want to, because they are really incomparable. It makes people feel unconvinced even if they want to. That kind of thing.
At the same time, it was inevitable that Nanguo Duke's Mansion became a joke again, especially for Nangong Xue who looked down on Bai Yuxian at the beginning.
In the past, the Nanguo Duke's Mansion saw Bai Yuxian admitted to the Imperial Academy and showed his talent. They wanted to marry him again and recruited Bai Yuxian as the son-in-law of the Nanguo Duke's Mansion. However, Nangong Xuexin was arrogant and looked down on Bai Yuxian's status as a descendant of the Wuhou Mansion, and even sent Nangong Qing went to the Imperial Academy and told Bai Yuxian not to have such wishful thinking.
As a result, Nangong Qing was directly humiliated by Bai Yuxian in the Imperial College. Now Bai Yuxian has completely soared into the sky and became General Tiance. The chief general of the new Forbidden Army can be said to have completely spread its wings and soared to the nine heavens.
It is undoubtedly a big joke to look back at Nan Guo Gongfu, especially Nangong Xue who looked down on Bai Yuxian at the beginning.
I have to say that this kind of slap-in-the-face plot of Thirty Years in Hedong and Thirty Years in Hexi is cliche, but it is really interesting to watch, especially for most people, this kind of plot is what they like to watch.
At the same time, there was silence in Duke Nanguo's mansion.
Especially Nangong Xue, who was in a trance.
At this time, Nangong Xue's heart towards Bai Yuxian had long since lost the thought of 'watching Bai Yuxian build a tall building, and then watching when Bai Yuxian collapses'.
Because she does regret it in her heart now, and she also regrets it in her intestines.
——
"Is this the mansion your Majesty gave Brother Xian? It's really impressive."
At this time, Bai Yuxian came to the mansion given to him by Li Longji.
Behind Bai Yuxian, his mother, Xiang Ling, Han Shiyin, Liu Yiren, Qin Shi and others followed.
In addition, Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Wang and other female relatives from the Wuhou Mansion also came, and they were all curious about the mansion given to Bai Yuxian by the Emperor.
I don't know whether Li Longji intended it or not, but the mansion given to Bai Yuxian by the emperor is next to Wuhou Mansion, especially the left part of the wall of the inner palace of the mansion is only separated by an alley from the right part of the inner palace of Wuhou Mansion.
However, the mansion is quite large. The total area is probably dozens of acres. It is not even smaller than Wuhou Mansion. It has a large family, red tiles and red walls. It can be seen that it was once a prominent and powerful mansion.
Looking at the mansion in front of them, everyone couldn't help but marvel.
"This mansion used to be the residence of the Marquis, but His Majesty gave it to Brother Xian. It seems that His Majesty really has high hopes for Brother Xian. This must be such a holy family."
Before and after Mrs. Bai arrived at the mansion, she couldn't help but look at Bai Yuxian with an envious and complicated expression.
As the old lady of Wuhou Mansion, after living for so many years, Old Lady Bai naturally knew about the mansion in front of her which was close to Wuhou Mansion. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this mansion was also the residence of the Hou Men. But because of the passage of time and the demise of the Hou family, this mansion became empty.
Now that Emperor Li Longji has given such a former Houmen mansion to Bai Yuxian, it is hard for Mrs. Bai not to suspect that there is no deep meaning in it.
After all, this kind of duke's mansion is not given casually.
"It turns out to be the former Hou Men's mansion, no wonder."
"It seems that His Majesty really loves Brother Xian very much."
Everyone was suddenly enlightened upon hearing this. No wonder it was so impressive. It felt as if it was no worse than Wuhou Mansion. Then they looked at Bai Yuxian and couldn't help but become more envious.
The three girls Han Shiyin, Xiang Ling, Liu Yiren and the maid behind Bai Yuxian couldn't help but show excitement.
Even Mrs. Zhen couldn't help but show joy and excitement on her face at this moment.
This is the former Hou Men's mansion.
The most important thing is that it belongs to them from now on.
Bai Yuxian was also happy in his heart. Originally, he had thought that after becoming an official this time, he would find a mansion in the city and buy it so that he could move out of Wuhou Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Li Longji directly gave him such a mansion.
Presumably, Li Longji had figured out his situation a long time ago. Knowing that he was still living in Wuhou's mansion, he simply rewarded himself with such a mansion, so that he could gather more of his loyalty.
"Let's go in and take a look together."
After watching at the door for a while, Bai Yuxian said, and a group of people walked through the door and entered the mansion.
The overall layout of the mansion is similar to that of Wuhou Mansion, mainly divided into outer mansion and inner mansion.
The outer mansion is generally where the servants and servants of the mansion live. There is a main courtyard at the entrance and a dozen other courtyards of various sizes. In addition, there are warehouses, firewood sheds, dining rooms, bathhouses, gardens, etc. The total area occupies approximately one-third of the entire mansion.
A huge moon door serves as the connection between the outer palace and the inner palace.
The area of the inner palace is much larger than that of the outer palace, almost twice the size of the outer palace. The layout of the various buildings inside is much more exquisite than that of the outer palace, including various pavilions, pavilions, waterside pavilions, lotus ponds, and rockery gardens. The courtyard is also beautifully decorated, and the inner palace is also where the owner and some important maids and grandmothers live.
In the innermost part of the inner palace, there is a vast bamboo forest of about two or three acres. There is a stream in the bamboo forest, a pavilion beside the stream, a small bridge and a small pavilion in front of the pavilion.
The entire bamboo forest and pavilions and small bridges give people a sense of tranquility and elegance like small bridges and flowing water. Because of the bamboo forest and the stream, the air in the bamboo forest is also very fresh, and there are even fish swimming in the stream.
"Good place!"
Bai Yuxian's eyes lit up instantly.
There is such a place, whether he is reading or practicing in the future, it is more than enough here. There is enough space and the environment is quiet and elegant. When he moves in, he will not have to worry about being disturbed as the head of the family. At the same time, he will not have to go out of the city every day. Ran.
"Brother Yuxian likes it here." Xiangling noticed Bai Yuxian's expression.
"Well, the environment here is quiet, elegant and spacious enough. From now on, whether you are reading or practicing, this place will be good."
"Since my son likes it here, then I will find someone to clean it up and repair it, so that it can be reserved for my son to study and practice on weekdays."
Zhen said after hearing this.
Bai Yuxian also nodded, and then said.
"When a man is born in the world, he should get married as soon as possible to establish a career. Now that the child has become an official, he should get married as soon as possible. Besides, sisters Shiyin and Xiangling have been waiting for a child for a long time."
"Next, my mother will have to worry about finding someone to clean and repair the mansion as soon as possible, so that she can move here as soon as possible to prepare for the marriage of the child, sister Shiyin and sister Xiangling."
A man should start a family and build a career.
Bai Yuxian has always agreed with this concept.
Get married as soon as possible, have a completely independent home of your own, and become the true head of the family. This will make it easier for you to focus on your career later on.
Bai Yuxian has also had this idea for a long time, to move out of Wuhou Mansion as soon as possible and completely establish a new family and own his own home.
Although no one in Wuhou Mansion dares to give him a look, after all, Wuhou Mansion is not his own, and it is not his own home. Living there always feels like being dependent on someone else, which is not as comfortable as his own home.
"My son has entered the official service and is already a general. It is indeed time for him to start a family and start a career as soon as possible."
When Zhen heard this, she nodded with a smile on her face.
Zhen naturally agreed with Bai Yuxian's thoughts.
Although they now have status and status living in Wuhou Mansion, how can it compare to their own home.
Listening to the conversation between mother and son, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Qin and other mothers nearby could not help but feel envious.
Even Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel envious at this moment. Looking at the scenery of Bai Yuxian and Zhen's mother and son, she suddenly felt that even if her son was the future heir of Wuhou Mansion, it seemed uncomfortable. After all, this kind of Relying on inheritance from elders and relying on one's own efforts are undoubtedly completely different feelings.
When Han Shiyin and Xiangling heard Bai Yuxian and Zhen talking about their marriage, their pretty faces turned red, feeling shy and happy at the same time.
Bai Feifeng, Bai Qian, Bai Qian, Bai Yue, Bai Xue, Bai Lan, and Liu Yiren could not help but look at the two women with envy.
Even Liu Yiren is no exception, because although she has a confirmed relationship with Bai Yuxian now, due to her own relationship, if she wants to truly marry Bai Yuxian, she must at least be behind Han Shiyin and Xiangling.
Mrs. Bai suddenly felt a little complicated in her heart.
In the past, when Bai Yuxian first rose to prominence, the limelight overshadowed her precious grandson Bai Yusheng. She disliked Bai Yuxian very much, but now that Bai Yuxian has completely risen to prominence and is about to move out of Wuhou Mansion, she suddenly feels a little empty in her heart. Even a little worried.
I am worried that after Bai Yuxian moves out of Wuhou Mansion, if he completely distances himself from Wuhou Mansion and alienates them, what will Wuhou Mansion do in the future.
Although Mrs. Bai loves Bai Yusheng, she is not completely ignorant of the situation in Wuhou Mansion.
Mrs. Bai also knew that their Wuhou Mansion had long since declined and was in danger, and could not even withstand bigger storms. But now that Bai Yuxian has risen to the sky and won the emperor's heart, then if someone like Bai Yuxian has grown up If the rising pillars help support their Wuhou Mansion, then Wuhou Mansion will undoubtedly be more stable, and its status will even be improved.
Wuhou Mansion cannot lose Brother Xian.
Mrs. Bai realized this instantly.
