Smuggling Daming

Chapter 224 The Past of the Bai Sisters

Under the flickering candlelight, Bai Mengwan sat at the table with her hands resting on her chin, thinking about her thoughts. Bracelet, who lived in the same room with her, had already fallen asleep. After all, everyone was tired after climbing Fragrant Hills all day today, so they came back to eat After dinner, Bracelet also went to bed early.

But Bai Mengwan couldn't sleep, because when she was on Fragrant Hills today, she saw a person, and she also saw that this person had a lot of conversations with Wu Shan, who was Jin Yiwei, and looked at her from time to time. He also recognized her, and asked Wu Shan about himself.Although Wu Shan obeyed Zhou Zhong's orders, the identity of that person was not simple, and he should have known Wu Shan a long time ago, so Wu Shan might tell all about her and her sister Bai Junwan.

Thinking of this, Bai Mengwan couldn't help but frowned. If that person knew that he was with Mr. Zhou, and through talking with Wu Shan, he would definitely know that his sister was in Shuangyu Port. If he threatened Mr. Zhou to hand over their sisters , so what should I do?Although Young Master Zhou seems to be highly valued by Son of Heaven, but that person is also doing things for Son of Heaven, and has great power in the capital. No matter how much Young Master Zhou is valued by Son of Heaven, he is still just a commoner. Compared with the opponent's power?

Just when Bai Mengwan was worried about the person she met today, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, which made her wake up immediately, and then she straightened her clothes and came to the door and asked: "It's so late, who is it?" outside?"

"It's me, Mengwan, are you still asleep?" Zhou Zhong's voice came from outside, which made Bai Mengwan feel much more at ease.Immediately opened the door, just in time to see Zhou Zhong standing there with a warm smile on his face.

"Master Zhou, please come in, Bracelet has already fallen asleep, but I can't sleep for the time being!" Bai Mengwan invited Zhou Zhong to come in and sit down, while pouring him a cup of tea.

Zhou Zhong had originally discussed with Wu Shan about Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, but he did not expect Wu Shan to tell him something about Bai Mengwan in the end, and it involved an important figure in the court, so Zhou Zhong ignored it was getting late and still Come to Bai Mengwan to understand the inside story.

Zhou Zhong also asked Bai Mengwan to sit down.And after casually chatting with the other party for a few words, she suddenly asked: "Mengwan, when you were in Shuangyu Port, your sister once mentioned to my aunt that I would take you as a concubine, and you agreed. Later Jin Xuan also agreed, but now I want to confirm again, are you really willing to be my concubine?"

Hearing Zhou Zhong suddenly asked about this matter, Bai Mengwan couldn't help blushing, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Zhou Zhong again, after a while.It was only then that she gave an imperceptible "hmm", answering Zhou Zhong's last question.

Bai Mengwan got an affirmative answer.I saw Zhou Zhong said with a serious expression: "Okay, since Meng Wan, you are infatuated with me, then I, Zhou Zhong, swear here that I will definitely treat you like I did to Jin Xuan in the future, and I will never let you suffer any grievances." !"

Hearing Zhou Zhong's sudden oath, Bai Mengwan raised her head in shock, and looked at Zhou Zhong in surprise and puzzlement.She didn't know why Zhou Zhong suddenly made such an oath?

However, just after Zhou Zhong made the oath, he continued: "Since Meng Wan, you are willing to be my Zhou Zhong's woman. Then we will be a family in the future, and we must treat each other honestly. I knew you and your sister before. There must be an unforgettable encounter, you don’t want to talk about it, and I won’t force you, but Wu Shan told me today that there is a very powerful person who is inquiring about your sisters, I guess this person should be related to your previous encounters , Meng Wan, can you tell me?"

After hearing Zhou Zhong's last words, Bai Mengwan finally understood the reason why he made the oath, but she could also tell that Zhou Zhong did speak the truth when he swore, so she was still very touched and sweet in her heart, but for Zhou Zhong's thought of She still hesitated to know what happened to their sisters in the past.

Seeing that Bai Mengwan still didn't speak after listening to her own words, Zhou Zhong couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and immediately said again: "Mengwan, the person who asked Wu Shan for news today is named Zhang Rui, although this person is young, and he is also an eunuch, But he is deeply favored by His Majesty today, and it is said that he has a close relationship with Gu Dayong, one of the Eight Tigers, so he has already taken the position of the eunuch of the East Factory at a young age. If you really have a grudge against him, then tell me frankly, no matter how bad the situation is, I will not hand you over!"

Zhou Zhong's words finally had an effect. When Bai Mengwan heard this, she finally raised her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Master has saved our sisters several times. Mengwan has nothing to repay in this life. She only wishes to serve you for the rest of her life. Just in case of repaying your son's great kindness, as for the grievance between our sisters and Zhang Rui, it is also a great shame to our Bai family, and it is also a knot that my sister has been unable to untie..."

Bai Mengwan said, and finally told about the grievances between their sisters and the eunuch Zhang Rui, but what Zhou Zhong never expected was that the experience of the Bai sisters was so bizarre and cruel, it was simply beyond imagination.

It turned out that the Bai sisters were indeed, as they said before, born in a scholarly family in Nanjing. Their father was a well-known local Confucian and had a high reputation among scholars. There are also dozens of shops in the city. It can be said that the Bai family is also one of the richest people in the entire Nanjing city.

But as the saying goes, every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and the Bai family has both prestige and wealth, but there is also one unsatisfactory place, that is, Master Bai has no sons, only two daughters, Bai Junwan and Bai Mengwan. I like two daughters, but no matter how good the daughter is, she will marry off sooner or later, and no one in the Bai family will inherit the family business.

In fact, it’s not that Master Bai has never had a son, but he doesn’t know what debts their Bai family owed in their previous life. After giving birth to two sons in a row, they couldn’t support them. In the end, even Master Bai was a little disheartened, and he gave up his son’s life. thought.

But no matter how disheartened, the incense of the Bai family cannot be cut off. The huge family business also needs someone to inherit it. There are only two ways to solve this problem. The first is to adopt a son, and the second is to adopt a son. It's to recruit sisters Bai Mengwan. In the future, when they give birth to a child, they will follow their motherhood, so that they can inherit the incense of the Bai family.

Speaking of which, the Bai sisters are also well-known in Nanjing City. First, their Bai family is a well-known scholarly family, and their father is also a well-known Confucianist. In addition, the Bai family has no children, which naturally makes the Bai sisters particularly attractive. .

Secondly, the Bai sisters themselves are also extremely talented. Bai Junwan loves to read, no matter what kind of book they are, they can almost never forget them in their memory, and their literary talent is naturally extremely extraordinary. It can be said that among the scholars in Nanjing, almost no one can surpass Bai Junwan in terms of literary talent.On the other hand, Bai Mengwan likes to play the piano, and her first-hand piano skills have already entered the classroom. Those who are lucky enough to listen to her are full of praise, and some even call her the number one master of Nanjing piano skills.

The superior family background and their own talents have made Bai Junwan and Bai Mengwan have a large number of suitors, many of whom are famous scholars among the younger generation in Nanjing City, and there is an endless stream of people who come to ask for marriage, almost leaving the Bai family gate. The threshold has been leveled.

However, as the eldest daughter of the family, Bai Junwan has a more mature mind. She knows that she has no brothers and her father is too old. Naturally, she needs someone to inherit the family business, so she rejected all the proposals and offered to recruit thing.Master Bai was very pleased to see his daughter so sensible, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to recruit Bai Jun gracefully.

Speaking of which, as soon as the news of Bai Junwan recruiting a son-in-law came out, the whole city of Nanjing became a sensation. Some young people with good family backgrounds kept saying it was a pity. After all, it was impossible for them to be husband-in-law. Not good, but young people with some talent and learning are very excited. If they can enter the White House as their son-in-law, not only can they marry a beautiful and beautiful woman, but they can also have a huge family business. The surname is Bai, but when Master Bai dies, the family will still need a man to take charge of the family. What will be the name of this huge family business at that time will depend on one's own talents.

In order to find a satisfactory husband-in-law for his daughter, Master Bai also took great pains. Not only did he post the list all over the city, but he also mobilized his friends and students to help him find suitable candidates. Among the outstanding young people, a young scholar named Wang Rui was selected.

Wang Rui was born in a poor family, but because of his talent, he made his mark among the scholars in Nanjing at a young age, and he is considered a little famous. It is said that with his talent, he has a high chance of winning the imperial examination. It will be very different immediately, so even though he comes from a poor background, no one dares to underestimate him, and many people are even willing to marry their daughters to him.

Ordinarily, with Wang Rui's status, it is impossible to take the initiative to be a son-in-law, but the world is very strange. Wang Rui met Bai Junwan by chance at a poetry meeting before. Rui, however, saw the indescribably beautiful Bai Junwan at a glance, and fell in love with her at first sight since then, obsessed with her every day, and even her studies were a bit neglected.

Originally, Wang Rui thought that with his own status, it might be possible to be worthy of Bai Junwan, but he didn't expect that Bai Junwan would recruit a son-in-law for Bai Junwan because he had no heirs. His talents and learning were the best among the crowd, and he was selected by Master Bai as Bai Junwan's future husband-in-law, but no one thought that it was this Wang Rui who brought the Bai Mansion into an abyss of eternal doom.
