Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 47 When upset, the music under the moon at night
He brought a tiger charm and an imperial edict.

As said in front of Zhengyangmen, the effectiveness of the tiger talisman is limited to the troops sent by Emperor Yuan Zhen this time.

Just as Emperor Yuan Zhen said, don't have too much hope in food and military strength.

After seeing off the imperial chamberlain, Bai Weiyong held the imperial edict, his old face solemn and even more worried: "5000 people are still a group of old, weak, sick and disabled. The food and grass allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs are not enough to fill the gap between teeth, let alone survive the winter. Use the quilt."

He looked at Shen: "How much money is left in the mansion?"

Shen replied: "Grandpa, the last time we went to war, the Bai family took out 80 taels of silver. At this time, there was not much left in the warehouse. If we paid it ourselves, I'm afraid we would have to sell the antiques collected in the warehouse to raise a sum of money." silver."

Bai Weiyong sighed: "Antiques in the prosperous times were gold and silver in troubled times. In today's world, those antiques are not worth much."

The second sister-in-law said: "Grandpa, I have a sum of personal silver there, which was my dowry when I got married, and several sets of headgear, which total about 3 taels."

Several sisters-in-law then said: "I also have some cash here. I can make a small sum by pawning all the jewelry."

Yu Jiao said: "I have 8 taels here, as well as several sets of heads and faces awarded by the Queen Mother, which are also worth a lot of money."

Bai Ming opened her red lips slightly: "Sisters-in-law, you keep your own money and money yourself. I have my own plans for military pay and food."

Before setting off to Zhengyang Gate, Bai Mingwei expected that even if Emperor Yuan Zhen allowed the Bai family to go on an expedition, they would not be given sufficient troops and food, so she asked Cheng Bi to go to her master.

Bai Mingwei's master, Dongji Zhenren, is the master of Chengtian Temple. He has profound Taoism and is deeply respected by the world.

Moreover, Chengtian Temple is the largest Taoist temple in Dongling. In these troubled times when we can only seek blessings from God, Chengtian Temple is extremely popular, and the temple owner naturally has a lot of money in his treasury.

Bai Mingwei saluted everyone solemnly: "Thank you all, sisters-in-law. Your determination to share the joys and sorrows with the Bai family will be something Mingwei will never forget."

After everyone heard this, they no longer scrambled to take out the dowry.

Mrs. Shen helped her up: "Mingwei, we are one family and don't talk about two families."

Bai Ming nodded slightly and showed a smile.

Seeing that Bai Weiyong was so exhausted that he couldn't sit up straight, Mrs. Shen quickly said, "It's getting late. Everyone should go back and rest. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

After saying that, he left with everyone.

Bai Mingwei stepped forward to support his grandfather and sent him back to his room with Mrs. Lin.

On the way, Bai Weiyong said: "Mingwei, you have done very well these past two days. You calculated people's hearts very accurately and made a thorough plan. Grandpa has no worries about you."

"The person holding the chess pieces knows the advantages of each chess piece and allows them to play their maximum role. He also knows their weaknesses and controls them to death. This is the quality that every chess player should have. I believe You've learned it."

"But these are the effects that can be achieved based on the absence of emotions and interest entanglements. But people are not cold chess pieces. If they don't have emotions, they are no longer human."

"Grandpa wants to tell you that the human heart is complex. No one can completely grasp it. Things are changeable and no one can completely predict it. As long as a person has a heart, he is destined not to be perfect."

"No matter how powerful a person is, there are times when he is powerless. Don't force yourself to do everything perfectly, but you must go all out."

"Just like just now, my grandfather has been in the officialdom for decades, but he was also stumped by several mothers. Facing them, he had nothing to do."

"People must be able to accept their own failures and shortcomings before they can find ways to improve. So if you fail or make mistakes in the future, it doesn't matter. You must not be discouraged."

"Because you are an imperfect person, you are destined to have shortcomings. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and be a thoughtful person, you know?"

Bai Mingwei nodded: "My grandfather's teachings, Mingwei has memorized them." Bai Weiyong finally warned: "But you have to remember, controlling a gentleman depends on character, and controlling a villain depends on wisdom. You have to distinguish who is a villain and who is a villain. It is a gentleman who can decide when to use your character and when to use your wisdom.”

Bai Mingwei responded solemnly: "Grandpa, Mingwei has written down everything you said."

She didn't know what to say other than these words.

This old man, even at this moment, is still making all his plans for her.

He must have been worried that he was under too much pressure, so he tried his best to say these words of comfort, just to tell himself: No one is perfect, just try your best, and it doesn't matter even if you don't succeed.

It is precisely because of the love from the bottom of my heart that I truly believe that it doesn’t matter if I fail, as long as I try my best.

Bai Weiyong returned to the house, lay on the bed and never got up.

He was drowsy, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Bai Mingwei called the doctor to check his pulse and asked worriedly: "Doctor, grandfather, he..."

The doctor comforted him: "It's just that he's too weak. It's okay. Just let Mr. Xiang have a good rest."

Bai Ming breathed a sigh of relief and held Lin's hand: "Auntie, my grandfather will be left to you."

Mrs. Lin was flattered and said quickly: "Girl, don't be so polite to me. This is what I should do."

Bai Ming said slightly: "We all see my aunt's contribution to the Bai family. Thank you so much, aunt, for always."

Mrs. Lin wiped the corner of her eyes: "I should. This is what I should do."

Bai Mingwei gave the doctor a few more words before returning to his room.

She told herself that it was time to sleep, but she tossed and turned and still couldn't close her eyes.

It was a cold late autumn night, and the servants in the mansion took turns to stay on duty in the mourning hall. The exhausted masters returned to the house.

It's just that on this cold night, it's unknown how many people are as sleepless as Bai Mingwei.

Bai Mingwei forced himself to fall asleep, but the more he did this, the clearer his mind became.

The reason that kept her sleepless tonight was not the pitiful amount of money allocated by the Ministry of Finance, but the five thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people.

Who knew that the remnant soldiers were injured and returned from the border, and some of the soldiers were already old. With such a team, she didn't know how to compete with the 15-strong Northern Qi army, and she had no idea at all.

The lives of the entire White House family depend on this expedition, and the fate of five other cities is also in their hands.

If it fails, it will not be a pity to die, but it will only cause a large group of people to suffer.

She was almost exhausted.

Suddenly, a clear whistle sounded.

The melodious and melodious starting melody, the rustling sound suddenly changed, like breaking through clouds and cracking rocks, actually has a soul-stirring artistic conception.

Bai Ming opened the window slightly and saw a man in white clothes and black hair sitting on the roof. He was holding a jade flute and playing music under the moonlight.
