A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 70: Become one with the world, a good wife

Bai Jiu was very excited when he saw his wife whom he had not seen for many years. After expressing his lovesickness, Bai Jiu introduced Mo Zhai to his family.

"Madam, this is my disciple Mo Zhai." Mo Zhai saluted to his master: "Hello, master!"

Madam Bai looked at Mo Zhai with a smile and said, "Thank you for serving your wife along the way and making us not so worried."

Mo Zhai said: "Master is laughing at me. Master is taking care of me. Besides, it is my duty to serve Master!"

Bai Jiu introduced his children to Mo Zhai again: "Zhai, this is my son named Bai Ren, my eldest daughter is named Bai Qin, and my younger daughter is named Bai Han."

Mo Zhai saluted them.

After introducing each other, everyone went into the room and started chatting. Bai Ren is two or three years younger than Mo Zhai, but Bai Qin is about the same age as Mo Zhai. The youngest is Bai Han, only five or six years old.

Bai Jiu was chatting with his wife, and Bai Ren pestered Mo Zhai to tell him about Bai Jiu's experience. Mo Zhai had to say, I don't know what happened before I met the master, but I can tell about what happened after that, so he talked about his experiences with Bai Jiu.

The excitement and ups and downs made Bai Ren and Bai Qin burst into applause, and Bai Qin's eyes gradually changed when she looked at Mo Zhai.

This time Bai Jiu returned to China. In addition to taking care of his wife and children, he also wanted to let Mo Zhai receive a better education. Bai Jiu called Mo Zhai to the study and said:
"Zhai, although there are some problems in the Bai Kingdom, its collection of books and education are definitely the best in the world. Even Confucius stayed here for a year without knowing what to eat, so I will stay in the Bai Kingdom for a long time this time. Do you want to Take this opportunity to gain more knowledge.

I will give you a pass to the library. You can come in and out at will, but you must pay attention to protecting the slips. You will know when you enter. In addition, there are many great talents and sages teaching in the academy. You can go and observe. There are definitely benefits.

The school also has a reasoning room, which is a place for students to debate and prove what they have learned. When you have sorted out what you have learned, you can go. I think back then, my debate skills were the best among the others. No one else Students can argue better than me.

In addition, if there is anything you can't figure out or understand, you must come to me in time to ask me. Especially when you encounter a bottleneck, you must come to me. I am afraid that you will be led astray by those academic Confucian scholars. "

After hearing this, Mo Zhai agreed one by one. After accepting the token given to him by Bai Jiu, he went out to rest and planned to visit the library tomorrow.

In this way, Mo Zhai began his study career in the library, the speculation field, the school, and Bai Jiu's residence.

One day, the Bai family gathered together, including the main members of the direct line and branch lines.

Bai Ting, who is eighty years old, sat in the main seat with his eyes closed and meditative. Master Bai presided over the meeting, and Bai Yi acted as the whip bearer to maintain order.

"Bang!" means the meeting begins.

Master Bai was the first to speak: "Dear members of the clan, we are all descended from the same ancestor. It is our common dream to realize the aspirations of our ancestors. We have no doubt about this. However, after hundreds of years of development, the number of descendants of my Bai clan has increased. That's a lot.

Some people still have Bai as their surname, and some have changed their surname, but as long as the family tree remains, our blood relationship will never be broken. I wonder if you agree with what I say? "

Everyone agreed, and then Master Bai continued: "After hundreds of years of development, we still use the division of direct veins and branch veins, and it is no longer possible to distinguish them, so we should distinguish them again.

I think it is still necessary to distinguish the difference between disciples with divine seals and those without divine seals, not only to distinguish direct concubines, but also to distinguish responsibilities. Nowadays, many people don’t know how to call me a member of the Bai family.

Some call them descendants of the Bai family, some call them descendants of the Bai family, and some call them descendants of the public clan, which makes us even confused. So I decided to make the following distinction:

Those with the divine seal belong to the main lineage of the Bai family, and are descendants of the public clan, and can be called sons of the Bai family; those without the divine seal are all branch lineages, and are descendants of the public clan, and are called sons of the Bai clan.

In addition, there are many people who change their surname, so except for the Bai clan, the Bai clan can decide whether to change their surname, but every thirty years, no matter where the clan moves, the family tree of the clan must be submitted to the Bai clan for update. Otherwise, the Bai family will not recognize him as a member of the Bai family.

I will set up a genealogy hall to specifically manage the entry of clan members’ names. Only those who exist in the genealogy hall can be called Bai clan members. Genealogy is divided into public genealogy and public genealogy, and public genealogy is divided into general genealogy and partial genealogy.

There is only one public family tree, but there are as many public family trees as there are clans. In addition, if you want to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan because of your family's decline, you need to go through the clan elders' meeting to discuss and approve it.

There are nine elders in the clan, four are in the office, and five are in the clan. If there is any important matter, it is decided by a show of hands. If there are more people in favor, it will be passed, and if there are less people, it will not be passed. "

A tribesman asked: "Will the previous treatment change?"

Master Bai replied: "It won't change. It's just to let everyone better distinguish the relationship, so that everyone won't be unable to find which ancestor is."

Everyone agreed. Master Bai also said: "Although it is divided into two clans, the family law will not change. Whether it is a descendant of the Bai clan or a descendant of the Bai clan, if he violates the family law, he will still be punished. Every clan that is separated must bring a family The law consists of a blank genealogy and a copy of the Bai family's ancestral teachings. Only with the approval of the clan elders can the family be separated and established."

Everyone stood up and said, "Follow the orders of the young master and the head of the family."

Later, Bai Guo discovered that the Bai family's children had undergone some changes. They no longer only cared about their own small family as before, but rarely considered the interests of the family. Now after the separation, the Bai clan members of the independent clan have all gathered together.

Master Bai also discovered this situation. He was trying to find a way out for the Bai family. He thought that if a clan wanted to move out of the Taihang Mountains and take root elsewhere, a clan should be able to easily take root there.

Nowadays, the Bai family encourages the Bai family members to go to the world to find a place to take root, as a tentacle of the Bai family. This is a way that Master Bai and his son Bai Ting came up with. Eggs cannot be put in one basket, and the Bai family must be integrated into the world. The world, rather than integrating into the Taihang Mountains.

However, the current strength of the Bai family is not enough to integrate into the world. The main direction is around the Taihang Mountains, such as Jin, Wei, Zheng, Song and other places. There are also other countries, but very few.

Three Hundred and One Years of the White Kingdom
Bai Ting died at the age of eighty-three
The young master Bai Shi succeeded the family master Bai Gong, Bai Yi succeeded the young master's crown prince, and Bai Yi's son Bai Chong was called Gongsun.
Three hundred and twelve years of the Bai Kingdom

Mo Zhai was twenty years old, and he had been studying in the Bai Kingdom for five years. Everyone in the Bai Kingdom knew that there was a Song Dynasty named Mo Zhai, who knew everything he asked, and he had never met an opponent in the field of speculation.

At that time, someone was so worried by what Mo Zhai said that he fought with Mo Zhai, but was defeated by Mo Zhai within three moves. So whenever Mo Zhai appeared on the speculation field, everyone pretended that Mo Zhai did not exist and refused to argue with him. This made Mo Zhai very depressed. I had no choice but to go find Bai Jiu.

Today, Bai Jiu is also in his fifties, with a head full of white hair. Because he has been a layman for many years, his face is full of grooves. Those who don't know think that Bai Jiu is already sixty.

Bai Jiu looked at Mo Zhai in front of him, his face was slightly dark, but his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people. Bai Jiu said: "Zhai! I have nothing to teach you anymore. Bai Guo has nothing for you to learn. You can use your talents at will!"

Mo Zhai bowed solemnly to Bai Jiu and said, "If Master hadn't taught me so wholeheartedly, I might still be a cowherd boy in the Song Dynasty!"

Bai Jiu smiled and said: "This is not all due to me, but also because you are a piece of jade! I can see your efforts. You are a good debater. There are few in the world who can compare with you. Even I can't help but be surprised by your fantastic ideas sometimes. I think you are a figure like Confucius."

Mo Zhai said: "I will not let the teacher down."

Bai Jiu added: "One more thing, when are you going to propose marriage for Qin'er! She has been waiting for you?"

Mo Zhai rarely blushed and said: "Master, Qin'er is a very outstanding and independent woman, and her husband should be an accomplished man, so I don't dare propose marriage easily."

Bai Jiu looked at Mo Zhai, who had a low self-esteem, and said: "Confused, you have studied with me for so long in vain, and the concept of status and hierarchy is still so important. How can you find a way out for the common people in the world? Stop saying these words, I have already sent you a letter Song Guo, take your mother over, and as soon as your mother arrives, you two will get married."

After that, he left. Upon seeing this, Mo Zhai was grateful and looked at Bai Jiu's back. From now on, the last bit of inferiority in Mo Zhai's heart no longer existed.

Three hundred and thirteen years of the Bai Kingdom

Mo Zhai and Bai Qin got married. Although the wedding was not very luxurious, it was very lively. Mo Zhai's friends, Bai Jiu's friends, and even Master Bai Gong attended the wedding in person. Mo Zhai felt that today was the happiest day besides becoming a disciple of Bai Jiu. time.

The drunk Mo Zhai pushed open the bridal chamber and saw the bride sitting on the mat. At that moment, he felt very unreal. It all seemed like a dream. Should he wake up? I still want to find a way out for the common people of the world!

"Husband!" Bai Qin looked at Mo Zhai who was staying on the spot and shouted softly. Mo Zhai came back to his senses, looked at Bai Qin and said sincerely:
"Madam, I am not a prince or aristocrat, I am just a common man, and my ideal is to find a way out for the common people in the world. This process is destined to be painful, and life is destined to be difficult. If you are not willing to live this life, we make a gentleman's agreement , when the time comes, let’s make peace so that you don’t suffer like this.”

After hearing this, Bai Qin took the initiative to hold Mo Zhai's hand and said: "Husband, since I have chosen to marry you, how can I not understand your ambition? Even if there is a cliff ahead, as long as we husband and wife work together, what can we overcome? What about the past?
As for the hardships of life you mentioned, don’t think that I am the kind of woman who only knows how to embroider and spin cloth. Even if you are not at home and travel far away, I can still support this family and educate our children. Don't worry, I won't be a burden to you, I will only be your best help.

Besides, isn’t it the meaning of marriage to support each other as husband and wife? "

Mo Zhai looked at the lady in front of him who was not only beautiful but also knowledgeable, and couldn't help but said: "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"

Bai Qin looked at Mo Zhai, who was moved to tears, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, it's been a tiring day today, let's take a good rest!"

Mo Zhai blushed when he heard this and said, "Okay!"

I saw only pink fragrance and sweat...
