Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 229 Departure
The night light touches the window and the sound of water boils.

Tea is brewing on the small red clay stove, and there are faint wisps of tea fragrance wafting around.

Bai Mingwei sat in front of Bai Jing, reaching out to the small stove to warm up the fire: "Fifth brother, while I am away, the Bai family army will be left to you."

Bai Jing took a sip of hot tea, and when he felt the warmth on his palms and body, he spoke: "Mingwei, I know you believe me, but I still need your instructions in every detail, because only in this way can I Keep in mind."

Bai Ming smiled knowingly: "What you need is not my advice, but you want to spend more time with me."

When Bai Jing was exposed, he admitted frankly: "Now we have to cherish our family even more. Naturally, I want to spend more time with my cherished sister."

Bai Mingwei's eyes reflected the light of the charcoal fire: "Fifth brother, I know you are worried about me, I will take care of myself, don't worry."

Bai Jing poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her: "Actually, I'm more worried about myself. It's because I'm useless. When you leave, I feel like I'm about to lose my backbone, and I feel unsure."

Bai Ming raised the cup slightly and drank the tea bit by bit, then exhaled a breath of hot breath.

With her face covered in white mist, she opened and closed the corners of her lips: "Brother Wei is a man of brute force, brave and good at fighting. It was only through his chivalrous spirit that Jin Ming Mountain was built."

"But he is illiterate, which is his shortcoming. And although he has keen intuition in using soldiers, he is so generous that he ignores the dangers of people's hearts."

"Although Seventh Sister-in-law is by my side, there are many things that may not be convenient for Seventh Sister-in-law and require Fifth Brother's attention."

Bai Jing understood: "I have already seen this."

The lights fluttering in the wind illuminate the snow in the courtyard.

The light came in from the window, and the slight fluctuations in Bai Mingwei's eyes became calmer as he drank a cup of tea: "Chuanyi is the youngest child in this family, the flesh and blood of the eldest brother, and the eldest sister-in-law who has been invulnerable to this day. The pillar of the White House, I ask Fifth Brother to protect him first."

Bai Jing nodded solemnly: "I will."

Bai Mingwei pondered for a moment, then revealed her hidden worries: "Fifth brother, what I'm most worried about are the people coming from the capital. Although my grandfather will try his best to deal with us, I can't trust the people sent by the superiors."

"If he is from Jinshang and Qin Fengye, it will be detrimental to the Bai family army; if he is from the prince or the other princes, it will probably be detrimental to His Highness the Ninth Prince."

"But be afraid. If you don't know who he is, you can't judge his purpose and means. So, Fifth Brother, don't trust anyone."

Bai Jing raised his eyes to look at her, the light and shadow in his eyes intertwined: "Mingwei, you seem to be leaving for a long time. It will take more than ten days for people from the capital to get here at the fastest speed."

The corners of Bai Mingwei's lips slowly opened in a cold arc, with a hint of excitement: "Fifth brother, do you know that carpentry is just Mr. Gongsun's hobby. He himself is a learned scholar."

"Even if it's not for the chariot that can defeat Beiyan's brave cavalry, I still want to ask him to come out for the sake of spreading justice."

Bai Jing understood her thoughts and agreed very much: "Even if war is raging and the world is in chaos, as long as we have the ability to create opportunities, we should not let our children miss the opportunity to study."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "It's not that we corrupt scholars are particular about it, but it's the importance of reading. My grandfather told us a long time ago."

Bai Jing thought for a while and said: "But just teaching him to read is not enough. He should learn the skills of a warrior. If one day in the future, when we cannot protect him, he can survive with these skills."

The brother and sister talked for a while before Bai Mingwei returned to his residence.

It's a small courtyard, and several people live not far from each other. It's just a short walk away.

When they came to the door of the house, their second sister-in-law, Mrs. Ren, was standing there with a small bundle in her arms.

The cold wind was biting, and her hand stove seemed to be completely cold. She could only use her baggage to block some of the cold wind, but she was shivering from the cold after standing for a long time.

Mingwei quickly opened the door: "Second sister-in-law, it's not locked, why don't you go in and wait?

Ren responded with a smile, but her voice trembled from the cold: "Even if we are close people, we still have to abide by the rules, so that others will not think you are easy to talk to." "Girl, you need to maintain your authority at all times. I just Just stand there for a while, it’s nothing.”

"You just stood there for a while? You're so cold, you must have been standing for a long time." Bai Mingwei immediately pushed away the ashes on the charcoal, revealing the charcoal fire buried in the ashes, dispelling the chill all over Ren's body.

Ren put her hand next to the brazier and said nonchalantly: "I don't know when you will come back. I'm afraid I'll miss you. After thinking about it, I think it's better to wait for you."

Bai Mingwei's eyes fell on the little bundle: "Second sister-in-law, do you know everything?"

Ren nodded: "Don't get me wrong, young lady, I didn't leak the news. This was my own guess."

Bai Mingwei poured a cup of hot water and handed it over: "Second sister-in-law is as careful as a hair, and you actually saw the clues."

Ren held the water glass with both hands, brought it to his mouth and blew it a few times, then took a sip: "It's not hard to guess that since Military Master Feng is not here, I guess you have to do some things when you go out."

"Seeing you going to find your fifth brother late at night, I can guess a bit. Although I'm not sure, I still think I should make some preparations for you, lest you don't have it when you need it."

While talking, Mrs. Ren handed the small baggage to Bai Mingwei: "I thought it would be inconvenient for you to carry more, so I prepared an emergency package. There were broken silver, wound medicine, fire breakers, and a few pieces that I had just baked for the ice. Frozen cakes.”

"If you are injured, you must take medicine. When you are cold, make a fire to keep warm. If you are hungry, you can bake the cake and eat it. You must take good care of yourself. I and everyone are waiting for your return."

Bai Ming stared at Ren for a moment, her eyes seemed to be filled with tears, but she hid them well: "Second sister-in-law, thank you."

Ren lowered her eyelashes: "Thank you for nothing. If your second brother were here, he would definitely think more carefully and thoughtfully than me."

Bai Ming pursed his lips slightly, thinking of his second brother who was taciturn and cautious in everything he did.

In her memory, she and her second brother were rarely alone, but every time his second brother made her feel very attentive and considerate.

In fact, when she was very young, her second brother didn't have such a temperament.

However, with the passage of time, the Bai family gained an eldest son who was known as the "Biyu of the Capital". With the eldest brother Zhuyu in front of him, the brothers seemed to be overshadowed by the glory of the eldest brother.

They are very good, but they still chase after their eldest brother.

And the second aunt has a fierce temper, so how can she allow her son to not be the best?

So the second aunt placed great expectations on the second brother. Even though she knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not surpass the talented eldest brother, she still hoped that he would be a piece of jade and could make further progress.

It's just that the more hope you have, the more disappointment will follow.

The second brother, who was originally confident, endured the tremendous pressure from his mother and endured the disappointment again and again. Over time, he became inferior and a little timid.

He is always cautious, fearing that he will let others down again.

Over time, everyone got used to him like this and felt that he was this kind of person.

But Bai Mingwei knew that the second brother had a pure and kind heart. Compared with the overwhelming tenderness of the eldest brother, his care and tenderness were like a long stream of water, moistening things silently.

Perhaps it was because the second sister-in-law knew that the man she loved was such a person, so she took the place of the second brother and stayed with her wholeheartedly.

"Second sister-in-law..."

Thousands of words are transformed into this single call.

Ren held her hand and conveyed warmth in his palm: "Girl, be careful in everything."
