Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 668 The one who should come, has come

Bai Weiyong waved his hand: "Grandpa is fine, it's fine..."

After saying that, Bai Weiyong asked Lin and Qingbai to help him down, leaving this place completely to Bai Mingwei.

Seeing this, Bai Xiuying asked in a choked voice: "Grandpa looks so sad. Will he be okay, eldest sister?"

Bai Ming took a deep breath: "Grandpa will be fine."

She could understand her grandfather.

From the perspective of the country and the people, my grandfather did not regret his decision to let his children abandon their writing and join the army, and go away to fight the national crisis.

But from the perspective of kinship, the heart-breaking pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person to another person hits you every step of the way, or even more.

That's why my grandfather was so sad.

Bai Xiuying stretched out her hand to help Bai Ming slightly support the white flowers on her temples: "Sister, the flowers are crooked."

After a pause, she added, "We can get through this, right?"

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "We can do it."

The two sisters gave each other an encouraging look and then stopped talking and continued to entertain the guests who came in one after another.

Because of the arrival of Song Chengzhang and Shen Zian, civil and military officials no longer had any taboos, and many officials who were grateful for their spirit came to express their condolences.

These officials would all say a few words of remembrance, while Bai Mingwei listened quietly.

From the words of these people, another side of her father, uncle, and brother suddenly came to her mind.

It turns out that the unsmiling father is not strict, and he also has his carelessness in doing things.

It turns out that the eldest brother, who has the reputation of being the most famous person in the capital, lives in the dreams of countless people and is like an immortal. After getting drunk during socializing, he will also act drunkenly.

original……

It turns out that every one of her relatives has another side that she doesn't know about.

It is the memories of these people that enrich her memory of her relatives, and it is also the memories of these people that make the relatives in her memory more vivid and humane.

When the incense burner was filled with incense, Bai Mingwei's heart was filled with thoughts and feelings for his father, uncle, and brothers.

At this moment, in her heart, there was not only the pain of losing her father and brother, but also another kind of courage derived from her father, uncle and brother.

It is a kind of courage to inherit the last wishes of relatives and work hard to live.

Some relatives and friends also came to visit at this time. Although they had visited several times before, they came again on this day.

The steward outside announced their identities loudly:
"The second lady's father has arrived."

"The third lady's brother has arrived."

"The Fourth Madam's brother has arrived."

Several people from my aunt's family came to the door in person.

Except for Shen, the other sisters-in-law were a little anxious.

Because Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen’s grandfather, has already been here in person.

When the time came for the ceremony to begin, no one from their natal family came to the door.

Even the steward didn't send a word of condolences.

This is obviously an attempt to distance himself from the Bai family.

In this world, it is not easy for anyone, and there is a big family to protect, so it is normal to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and to protect oneself wisely.

But after all, there was an in-law relationship, and such a big thing happened to the Bai family, how could you not come to ask?
Even if he doesn't come, he should send someone over.

But unfortunately, they didn't have any news at all.

This made several sisters-in-law feel very uncomfortable.

Especially Yu Jiao, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Dingbeihou Mansion was a general, but what Dingbeihou Mansion did chilled her heart.

Where is the responsibility and courage that a general should have?

Bai Mingwei saw that her sisters-in-law were sad, so she naturally knew the reason, and she felt very uncomfortable.

It's not because these families who are related by marriage to the White House are afraid of avoiding the White House, but because they feel that they don't care about their daughters, so they feel sorry for these sisters-in-law.

But there was nothing she could do.

A funeral can actually reveal the distance between people, as well as the positions of all parties in this intricate network of relationships.

Anyone who comes to express condolences is seen by the superiors, and they may be expected by the superiors to be in the same party with the Bai family.

The choice of these sisters-in-law's natal families to sever ties with the Bai family was not her decision.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the mourning hall.

Immediately afterwards, there was deathly silence.

Bai Xiuying came in hurriedly to greet the guests: "Eldest sister, the Queen Mother has come to express her condolences in person. Feng Jia has arrived at the entrance of the mourning hall. Please go and greet her."

Bai Mingwei didn't waste any time and walked out quickly with Bai Xiuying.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the Queen Mother in formal uniform walked in.Wherever she passed, people were kneeling on the ground.

She was wearing the Queen Mother's official crown, and she was using her identity as Queen Mother of Dongling, not her personal identity.

Bai Mingwei immediately kowtowed and saluted: "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

Bai Xiuying also knelt down and said, "I have met the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother said with a kind expression: "General, get up."

Then, she looked at Bai Xiuying: "Is it Miss Six? You get up too."

After the two sisters got up, she walked straight to the mourning hall, personally picked up three sticks of incense, lit them next to the candle, and bowed respectfully three times.

Then insert the incense into the incense burner.

Because of her arrival, Bai Weiyong was also helped out, and he quickly saluted her: "Old minister, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother personally bowed and helped up the old Bai Weiyong: "Between you and me, there is no need for such a grand ceremony."

"Wei Yong, the Ai family left the palace today, firstly to see them off, and secondly to see you."

Bai Weiyong said: "Your Majesty, I'm very kind. Please don't worry, Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother looked at Bai Weiyong, who had a completely different temperament from her impression, and couldn't help but sigh: "So many things have happened, you..."

The Queen Mother did not say anything else.

How could it not be sad?

Although her son has no future, at least he is alive and well.

But those outstanding descendants of Wei Yong have already left one step ahead of these gray-haired people.

How could it not be sad?

Close relatives by blood, connected by flesh and blood.

Even if they keep their family, country and world in their hearts, they take the responsibility for the rise and fall of the world on their shoulders.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
Of course, Wei Yong will also experience the pain of losing children and grandchildren.

Otherwise, where has the energetic Bai Xiang gone?

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother sighed again. Those words she was prepared to say to praise them for their sacrifice for the country could not be uttered after all.

Finally, thousands of words are condensed into a short sentence:
"The Ai family knows how determined you were in sending them to the border. The Ai family also understands how they fought until the last moment."

"The Ai family knows better that they are upright and strong-willed. But Yong, they are the character of Dongling and the backbone of Dongling."

Bai Weiyong handed over his hand and said, "Thank you very much, Queen Mother. I believe that my children and grandchildren are still alive in heaven and they will definitely be proud of it."

The Queen Mother said: "Having such a minister in Dongling should be a source of pride for the Ai family."

After saying that, the Queen Mother left.

Because the funeral was in the afternoon, she didn't stay long.

But her arrival is of great significance.

This is not only her affirmation of the men of the Bai family as the queen mother of a country, but also her identity as the queen mother of a country, telling the world that she will bear in mind the sacrifices of the Bai family.

The most important thing is that her arrival added some comfort to Bai Weiyong's riddled heart.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."

Everyone knelt on the ground and watched the Queen Mother leave.

As soon as the Queen Mother left, the steward's voice sounded outside:
"His Majesty sent the Chief Steward Wang Eunuch to express his condolences."

Bai Mingwei heard the words but had no reaction.

He sent the eunuchs around him to express condolences, but how could he really come to express his condolences to the deceased?

Of course, it is to earn a good reputation as a pity for Zhongliang.

However, after the chief eunuch left, more and more respectable people began to send their close associates to express their condolences.

Registration for Steward Loud Voice:

"The steward of the eldest princess's mansion has arrived."

"The steward of the Prince's Mansion has arrived."

"The steward of the Second Prince's Mansion has arrived."

"The steward of the Third Prince's Mansion has arrived."

"..."

"The steward of the Ninth Prince's Mansion has arrived."

More than a dozen people in a row, including the eldest princess and all the princes who had moved to another residence, sent people to the door.

Whether it's because of the wind or because of true feelings, it's all here in the end.
