Regarding her father's kindness, Bai Yuanyuan said indifferently:

"Dad, feel free to drink it! This wine was a gift to the commander-in-chief when Li Tuo was appointed as the dean of Yijing Medical College. There were many others sent with him...

········”

"Before, because the eldest lady was ill, my husband gave her two jars. After the eldest lady drank one jar, she gradually recovered, so there was only one jar left! I brought the eldest brother here before

I gave half of the wild ginseng to the eldest lady, so this time when I came home, she specially asked me to give you this jar of medicinal wine!"

At this point, Bai Yuanyuan continued with a hint of complaint in her tone:

"Dad, just tell me if you have anything. If the madam hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you were seeking medical treatment from Dr. Sun!"

Hearing that this was An Miaoyi's return gift, Bai Wanhao refused for a while and then accepted the bottle of medicinal wine without insisting.

After giving gifts to her father, Bai Yuanyuan did not forget her two sisters-in-law, and took out some silk brocades produced by the Second Manufacturing Bureau and gave them to them. Regarding Bai Yuanyuan's gift, Cui and Hu were also overjoyed.

Under the guidelines put forward by Marshal Ye that science and technology are the primary productive forces, the Second Manufacturing Bureau has greatly improved the enthusiasm of these craftsmen for innovation by improving the social status of skilled workers and providing substantial monetary rewards, allowing these craftsmen to innovate.

They worked hard to develop new processes. Under such conditions, the silk brocades produced by the Second Manufacturing Bureau were of better quality, more durable, and more colorful.

Therefore, even though the price is more than 50% higher than before, there is still a price but no market. Dadongsheng Company sells as much as it can, and many dignitaries in Yi Jing even began to appear, requesting money in advance through various relationships, even if

With the connections of the Bai family, the sisters-in-law Cui and Hu could only grab one horse each...

Cui and Hu, who were already very polite to Bai Yuanyuan, were undoubtedly much more enthusiastic towards Bai Yuanyuan after receiving the gifts. Bai Yuanyuan even started to feel a little embarrassed after having all kinds of greetings and greetings.

After a very pleasant lunch.

Bai Wanhao found his daughter in his study and said very seriously:

"Are you taking too many risks this time?"

Bai Yuanyuan caressed her belly and said confidently:

"How will you know if you don't try? Dad, don't worry, I know it well!"

Feeling his daughter's attitude, Bai Wanhao looked a little helpless. Regarding this precious daughter, he has been pampered since she was a child, making Bai Yuanyuan very willful and doing everything according to her temperament. If this is the case in ordinary people, that's it.

But now Bai Yuanyuan is serving Marshal Ye, which is related to the family's prosperity and honor in the next few decades!

Seeing her father and wanting to say something else, Bai Yuanyuan stepped forward and interrupted:

"Dad, Master Huiru from Baiyun Temple has already shown it to me and said that the child in my belly must be a boy. He also said that he will be able to become a general in charge of a country like his father, and even have the appearance of a true dragon!"

At the end of the speech, a smile appeared on Bai Yuanyuan's face unconsciously, and her eyes were full of longing...

Seeing this, Bai Wanhao frowned slightly and admonished:

"Hui Ru from Baiyun Temple is not a kind person. Yuanyuan, please don't get too involved with him. Now that the Zhou Dynasty is declining, people like the Murong family and others have come to Fengwu Army to place bets. It's enough to show that

How the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in decline!"

"The Fengwu Army is now at its peak and will soon capture Jiyu. Marshal Ye is so young that he may not be able to become a great treasure in the future. And in this harem, the most taboo thing is the matter of witchcraft.

, My dear daughter, please never let anyone take advantage of you!"

"What's more, judging from Marshal Ye's behavior, he has no interest in Buddhism and Taoism. The abbots of several temples in Yijing all want to use Ye Cui's relationship to

He expanded the temple and asked for more incense, but Marshal Ye refused them all.

"And your second brother came back last time and said that all of these temples are big landowners, and there are even many private properties that have evaded taxes and made a lot of money. The Chief Secretary has been quietly trying to find out their details recently.

Maybe Marshal Ye will attack them at some point. My daughter, you have always been smart, so don’t be confused at this time!"

Listening to her father's solemn tone, Bai Yuanyuan also nodded seriously and said:

"Dad, I understand! I will cut off contact with them!"

After getting Bai Yuanyuan's affirmative answer, Bai Wanhao felt a lot more relieved. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"Your eldest brother Changrong is currently serving as the commander-in-chief of Dongning. Yuanyuan, if you have a chance, mention it to the commander-in-chief and he will transfer your eldest brother to the front line!"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yuanyuan was shocked and said:

"Dad, do you want my eldest brother to go to the battlefield? This battlefield is full of swords and swords. What should I do if my eldest brother is injured? Isn't my eldest brother, the general soldier of Dongning, doing a very good job...

········”

Feeling his daughter's confusion, Bai Wanhao explained carefully:

"Your eldest brother is different from your second brother. Your second brother has been a civil servant for a long time and can work step by step in the rear. However, your eldest brother Changrong is a military general. As a military general, if you want to be promoted, there is no better choice than going to the battlefield. Hiding in Dongning to do it

What good can a general soldier do!"

Listening to what her father said, Bai Yuanyuan still had a deep brother-sister relationship and said very worriedly:

"But it's too dangerous to go to the battlefield!"

Bai Wanhao said helplessly after hearing this:

"Daughter, don't worry, dad knows this matter well. Your eldest brother's official rank in the Fengwu Army is not low. If he goes to the front line, he will be at least a deputy general of the first division. And now, all officials above the commander-level of the Fengwu Army

Not many people died, but unless your eldest brother is a lucky star, he won't die!"

"I know your eldest brother's ability best. He is not aggressive enough to be defensive. It is definitely not possible to take charge of a division alone. However, there is no problem in serving as a deputy general and attacking others. The Fengwu Army is doing very well in Jiyu. Gao

Zongchang will definitely be finished before the end of the year, and by then the Central Plains will be captured, and the expansion of the Fengwu Army will be inevitable!"

At this point, Bai Wanhao paused, and then Bai Yuanyuan said earnestly:

"Daughter, since ancient times, only those with military merit can be awarded a title. If our Bai family produces a knight, and I go down there and see all the ancestors of our Bai family, their faces will be bright. Even if I die immediately, I will be willing to...

················”

Listening to her father's serious look, Bai Yuanyuan hesitated but nodded and said:

"I will tell my husband!"

Seeing that his daughter agreed to this matter, Bai Wanhao's expression softened a lot. After thinking about it for a while, he warned again;

"You have to find a suitable opportunity. It's best to make insinuations. If there is no suitable opportunity, don't mention this matter. The commander is very disgusted with this kind of thing. If you do it forcefully, it will be counterproductive!"

"Yes!" Bai Yuanyuan nodded obediently.

Seeing that what was said was almost done, Bai Wanhao and Bai Yuanyuan returned to the crowd and continued to enjoy the short reunion with their families, because with the help of An Miaoyi, Mrs. Ye Cui specially approved Bai Yuanyuan to stay at Bai's house for one night, which also made

Bai Yuanyuan received a surprise. Although she had already joined the Ye family, Bai Wanhao still left a room for her in the Bai Mansion. The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as her boudoir. This undoubtedly moved Bai Yuanyuan deeply.

At night, when Bai Yuanyuan was about to review her boudoir, there was a gentle knock on the door. Bai Yuanyuan was somewhat surprised and asked the maid to open the door. The person who came turned out to be his second sister-in-law, Mrs. Cui.

"Third sister, I'm sorry to bother you so late!" Ms. Cui said apologetically to Bai Yuanyuan after entering the door:

Bai Yuanyuan shook her head and said:

"Second sister-in-law, we are a family. There is nothing to disturb us. Is there anything wrong with you coming so late?"

This second sister-in-law, Mrs. Cui, was not her second brother Bai Jiujiu's first wife. Bai Jiujiu's first wife, Mrs. Liu, died of dystocia during childbirth. At that time, Bai Jiujiu made some achievements under Ye Mingsheng's cultivation and gained the favor of the Cui family.

Give a collateral daughter to Bai Changjiang to continue his marriage...

Because her natal family is powerful, the second sister-in-law Cui has always been very aggressive in the Bai family. Even her father-in-law Bai Wanhao has to give face to this daughter-in-law. However, because of Cui's relationship, Bai Wanhao has been in the official career for a long time.

I also borrowed a lot of profit!

Under Bai Yuanyuan's gaze, Ms. Cui showed a trace of hesitation on her face, as if she was hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Bai Yuanyuan probably guessed what she wanted to say, and a hint of helplessness appeared in the depths of her eyes. Cui originally wanted to wait for Bai Yuanyuan to ask questions before speaking, but seeing that Bai Yuanyuan did not take the initiative to speak, she could only

Directly showing off his cards, he said:

"Yuanyuan, how has your second brother treated you over the years?"

"Second brother is naturally very good to me!" Bai Yuanyuan said softly:

Hearing Bai Yuanyuan's answer, Ms. Cui showed a smile and said seriously;

"You Yuanyuan, your words are enough! As you know, half a year ago, my third uncle transferred Jiu Jiu from Dongning to Yijing, and was promoted to the sixth rank to work in the Chief Secretary, in order to repay the commander-in-chief for his kindness.

, he has been working day and night for a long time, and he has lost more than ten pounds due to exhaustion. You see, when you come back today, he doesn’t have time to meet you. He just promotes fertilizers in the countryside and inspects agricultural conditions, just wanting to repay you.

The commander-in-chief showed his kindness to him and did some practical things for the people!"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yuanyuan understood what her second sister-in-law wanted to say, but she didn't want to expose it directly, so she could only follow Cui's words and said:

"My husband also knows the character and ability of the second brother! He has always admired the second brother..."

As soon as these words came out, Cui's face immediately showed a smile, and she said clearly:

"Yuanyuan, Chief Secretary Wang Qinghan was taken away by the Central Office for corruption half a month ago. Now the position of Chief Secretary is vacant. I went back to my parents' home to meet my third uncle a few days ago, and I got one through hard work.

It took a long time for him to agree to recommend your second brother to the position!"

"Originally, the old man San Bo came forward and the matter was almost settled. But who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway? That old bastard Gu Zhongshi also recommended a candidate. It was one of his students named Qian Dejiang.

Things are stuck here now. Third sister, can't you talk to the commander? This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for your second brother. If he gets the upper hand this time, he might be able to do it in a few years.

The party is in charge!"

After saying this, Cui looked at Bai Yuanyuan, waiting for Bai Yuanyuan's statement. Faced with Cui's expectant eyes, Bai Yuanyuan also felt very embarrassed. After all, Ye Mingsheng was very taboo about female family members intervening in politics.

The eldest brother's matter was handed down by her father, and it was related to the future and destiny of the Bai family. No matter how difficult it was, she had to give it a try. With the child in her belly, there was still a lot of possibility, but the eldest brother and the second son had to give it a try.

Putting all the things about her brother together, Bai Yuanyuan asked herself that she was not that important in Ye Mingsheng's heart.
