Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 214 I need to feel more sorry for my eldest aunt

So, Bai Jing pushed Hu Fu back and called out earnestly: "Mingwei, in the education given to each of us by my grandfather, there was never any intention to look down on women."

"The reason why I didn't let you go to war with my father was not because I despised you as a woman, but because my grandfather taught us that men should cherish, respect and protect the women in the family."

"My father, uncle and brother are still alive, so why would you go to the battlefield? That's why no one agreed with you to join the army."

"But the situation is different now. The people who can protect you are killed one by one by the axes of the Beiyan thieves. You have to stand up and hold up this crumbling building."

"I am the man of this family, and I should protect you from the wind and rain at this time. It is my duty to hold the tiger talisman in my hand and bear the responsibility, but I know my own abilities. I am not a general."

"Leave this tiger talisman to me, the Bai family's army may not be in good hands. The person who is really suitable to hold this tiger talisman is you, the eldest girl of the Bai family who, although you are a woman, is not inferior to men."

Bai Mingwei said nothing, just listened silently.

No one interrupted, because they knew in their hearts that everything Bai Jing said was true.

After a pause, Bai Jing continued: "Mingwei, I'm not a good brother. I can't shoulder this important responsibility, let alone shoulder it for you."

"I broke my promise. I failed to recapture the city, and I failed to return home with the soldiers. But if it were you, I believe you can do it."

"So can you please continue to lead the Bai family army?"

In the eyes of outsiders, the tiger symbol represents power and the benefits that the Bai family army can bring.

But in Bai Jing's eyes, the tiger symbol represents responsibility, and he clearly knows that he cannot shoulder this responsibility.

Therefore, when he handed the tiger talisman to Bai Mingwei, he did not feel that he was giving up power, but felt guilty for his inability to shoulder this important task.

I feel even more guilty for letting my sister continue to carry the burden.

Bai Ming raised his eyes slightly and asked: "Fifth brother, you will accompany me on this road, right?"

Bai Jing took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "No matter how difficult this road is, I will accompany you on it."

"I don't have the ability to hold this tiger charm, but I will do my best to take care of my sister."

"When you need it, when you want someone to rely on, when you are exhausted, I will accompany you and support you as a family member and as an elder brother."

So, Bai Mingwei didn't hesitate anymore, picked up the tiger talisman and held it.

The tiger charm was small, not much bigger than a finger, but she felt heavy.

Finally, she solemnly put the tiger charm away.

Several sisters-in-law expressed their support for this without any doubts. It seemed that as long as Bai Mingwei and the others decided, it would be fine, and they were only responsible for following the arrangements.

Bai Mingwei and Xiao Chuanyi returned to the house.

Cheng Bi immediately pushed aside the ashes in the stove, and the red charcoal fire was revealed, exuding a warm warmth.

She put hot water into the heater and stuffed it into the quilt. When the quilt was warm, she respectfully took off Bai Mingwei's cloak and said, "Miss, go to sleep. I will guard you."

Bai Ming nodded slightly, and then looked at little Chuanyi: "Chuanyi, would you like to rest with your aunt?"

Xiao Chuanyi did not refuse. Several consecutive days of vigil had already made him very sleepy. The time he spent sleeping on the futon was not enough for him.

He had been driving for a long time today, and if it wasn't for his strong will, he would have fallen asleep by now.

Besides, he really wanted to spend time with his eldest aunt.

Military Master Feng, who was very good at taking care of people, was gone. He had to be considerate of his eldest aunt so that she wouldn't be too tired.

On the bed, Bai Mingwei hugged little Chuanyi into his arms: "Thank you for your hard work, Chuanyi."

Chuanyi smelled the faint fragrance of medicine on his eldest aunt, and he couldn't help but think of his mother, so he leaned into Bai Mingwei's arms and said, "Auntie, you have worked hard too."

Bai Mingwei patted his back gently and coaxed softly: "It's not hard, aunt. Don't worry about Chuanyi."

Xiao Chuanyi was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Auntie, the fifth uncle returned the tiger talisman to you, why did you accept it so easily?"

She patted Xiao Chuanyi's back gently and said calmly: "If your fifth uncle wants it and your aunt refuses to hand it over, then your aunt will steal it."

"If your fifth uncle doesn't want to take it and your aunt insists on giving it, then your aunt will force your fifth uncle."

"But now it's my aunt who gives it to my fifth uncle, and my fifth uncle doesn't accept it. He willingly gives it to my aunt. That's what you and I are willing to do."

"As long as your aunt and your fifth uncle trust and support each other, and nothing they do goes against the will of the Bai family." "Those who use the world's situation to slander, point fingers, and make irresponsible remarks will be fine. Come in, there is no chance of harming me, your fifth uncle, and this family."

"So Chuanyi doesn't have to worry about aunt. Even if there is a problem, aunt will solve it, you know?"

Little Chuanyi was thoughtful and said with certainty: "Chuanyi understands what my eldest aunt said. As long as this family is tightly knitted together, we will not be afraid of what others say!"

Bai Mingwei agreed: "As long as you are strong enough, you will not have any weaknesses for others to attack. There is a lot worth learning from your fifth uncle."

Xiao Chuanyi asked in a low voice: "Where are they?"

Bai Mingwei replied softly: "First, don't be greedy. Although holding the tiger talisman is a great responsibility, responsibility also means power. If your fifth uncle doesn't hold the tiger talisman, it means he is not greedy for power."

Xiao Chuanyi asked again: "Is there any more?"

Bai Mingwei replied patiently: "You also have self-knowledge. Your fifth uncle is very smart, but he is not good at marching and fighting. He knows his shortcomings, so he doesn't force it."

"Chuanyi, the weakest link of an iron chain determines its strength, and the shortest piece of a wooden barrel determines its capacity."

"There is no perfect person in this world, so you have to know how to face your shortcomings, so that you can make the weakest part strong and the shortest part long."

Little Chuanyi nodded seriously: "Auntie, Chuanyi should learn from the fifth uncle."

Bai Mingwei encouraged him gently: "Auntie believes that my little mission can be accomplished."

Little Chuanyi hid under the quilt, his eyes burning and threatening: "Auntie, Chuanyi only speaks these words to you."

"Chuanyi feels that this emperor is not good at all. Look at how ridiculous the Ninth Prince is. How can a man who can't even teach his son well manage the world?"

"No wonder Dongling is so weak and every country wants to bully him. It turns out there is something wrong at the root. I really don't understand why my grandfather wants to be loyal to such a person."

These questions made Bai Mingwei silent for a long time.

It wasn't that she didn't understand every issue Chuan Xiaoyi had, but she didn't know how far to explain it.

After careful consideration, she still explained seriously: "No one is perfect. If you want to do one thing well, you will neglect other areas. But if you don't do anything well, you are mediocre and incompetent."

"As for whether things are good or not, it doesn't matter if my eldest aunt alone says it, nor does everyone in the Bai family say it, but all the people in the world have to say, so Chuanyi can't judge by himself, he has to see what all the people think."

Bai Ming slightly opened the quilt, looked into his shining eyes, and continued to explain seriously and patiently.

"As for why my grandfather is loyal to the emperor, it is because my grandfather promised the two generations of emperors that he would assist the emperor in supporting the Dongling stall."

"But Chuanyi, you have to remember that from beginning to end, our Bai family is not loyal to one person or one family, but to the mountains and rivers we love and the people living in this land."

"The people are the foundation of a country, and the foundation of a country is solid. The secret of a country's long-term prosperity is the people. They do not exist for the superiors. On the contrary, the superiors should exist for them."

"So no matter what position Chuanyi holds in the future, you must remember, 'When the people call, I respond; when the people are in trouble, I help; when the people ask, I do something; when the people hope, I do something. Something can be done'."

"The people must be the foundation for the prosperity of a country. Why do we, the Bai family, fight to the death on the battlefield to protect them? Because the prosperous and peaceful age that our Bai family hopes for requires them to create together."

Little Chuanyi hugged Bai Mingwei's neck and pressed his face against hers: "Auntie, thank you for always explaining these things to Chuanyi."

"The words of the sage and the teachings of the Master have always seemed to Chuanyi to be both noble and illusory, but my aunt's words have always made Chuanyi suddenly enlightened and immersed in the situation."

"Chuanyi understands, what our Bai family wants is prosperity and peace, and prosperity and peace cannot be separated from the people, so we must protect the people and defend the territory."

"With people and land, we can have the future we expect..."

Bai Mingwei was sleepy, but he still patted Xiao Chuanyi's back gently: "There are no desperate situations in the world, only people who are desperate for them."

"Most heroes have to go through hardships, dangers, hardships, humiliations, troughs, excitement... to achieve the heroic pattern and spirit."

"If Chuanyi wants to be a hero, he must have the courage to walk through the mud. Auntie will always support you."

After saying this, she fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Chuanyi stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the wounds on her body that had not yet healed, but when he reached halfway, he retracted his hand.

The fifth uncle's injury was obvious, so he received everyone's concern, but the eldest aunt hid the injury so well that almost no one knew about it.

If the eldest aunt also wants to be cared for, who will care for her?
Why don't you cry and shout?
That’s why he has to feel sorry for his eldest aunt even more!
Finally, Xiao Chuanyi patted Bai Mingwei's cheek gently and fell asleep.
