Listening to Xiao Wu's answer, Emperor Cheng Xuan was very pleased. This is the attitude a minister should have!

"I am very pleased that you are a virtuous and talented person."

Feeling the pressure on his head disappear, Xiao Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had been driving for a short time, he had almost figured out the emperor's character.

Emperors have been suspicious since ancient times, but this one in front of him is particularly sensitive.

However, the mastery of the imperial arts comes from the emperor's family, especially when it comes to employing people, his methods are decisive.

As long as Fan Er's roots are softer, Prime Minister Mu's plan will definitely succeed, and there will be nothing wrong with him.

Xiao Wu walked out of the palace, looked at the blue sky, and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that as the youngest prime minister, many people wanted to see his jokes and were waiting for him to make a fool of himself in front of the officials.

Now that he had come this far and sat in this position, he just wanted to straighten his chest and move forward.

Xiaowu's identity has changed, and the family has also followed suit. However, after being beaten by Baiyunxi, everyone knew what to do, which gave those who wanted to take advantage of the loopholes no way out and avoided a lot of trouble.

Outsiders have been watching, but the Tang family can't sit still.

Early in the morning, several elders of the Tang family came to the door and asked the family to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan to comfort the ancestors of the Tang family.

"An Sheng, you are a descendant of the Tang family, and you should return to the Tang family. As long as you are willing, your father's tablet will be placed directly in the ancestral hall, and you will enjoy the incense of the Tang family for generations to come."

"Yes, you are an outstanding son of the Tang family. It is not easy to get to where you are today. If you return to the Tang family, the family's resources will be at your disposal. With your qualifications, you will definitely be the next generation head of the Tang family."

Bai Xiaowu looked at Mr. Tang's anxious tone and shook his head.

"I have long said that I am a descendant of the Bai family. Although I have found out my father's life experience, my father's surname was Bai when he died. As sons, we brothers naturally have no reason to change our surnames privately."

"I have already explained this matter to Yushi Tang. We have no intention of returning to the Tang family, and we don't want to create any estrangement among you, the Tang clan. Don't force us."

Several people listened to Xiao Wu's words and looked anxious.

"An Sheng, you are still young and there is no way to know what happened in the past. But now that your brothers are back, the Tang clan will definitely welcome you. As the elders of the Tang clan, how can we let you live outside?"

Listening to their self-righteous remarks, Xiao Wu's lips curled up with a trace of sarcasm.

"We don't want to investigate the right and wrong in the past, but we can't say that it's impossible to investigate. As long as you have the intention, there is nothing that can't be investigated. But my mother is kind and doesn't want to cause more trouble, so we'd better not mess with the river."

Several people:"……"

This is to blame them for being unfair.

But they can't be blamed. What happened was too sudden. By the time they got the news and sent people to investigate, it was already too late.

"We have indeed been negligent regarding your father's affairs. When your father's tablet returns to the ancestral hall, we clan elders will apologize to your father in person. Now that you are in a high position, if there is no family support behind you, the road ahead will be extremely difficult and dangerous."

"What your cousin said is very reasonable."

Listening to their remarks, Xiao Wu couldn't help but chuckle,

"I have walked all the way from the village, and I have never had any backer behind me, nor do I need one. Now my backer is the Holy Emperor. As long as I am loyal to the emperor and patriotic, that is enough. Don't try to persuade me anymore."

He suddenly became the prime minister, and the officials showed great trust, but he was self-aware. During these days, the officials would definitely send someone to keep an eye on him and understand his activities anytime and anywhere.

He could also imagine that the officials would do this, but these clan elders ignored it because of their eagerness.

When several people heard this, they fell into silence.

Sure enough, I am still too young to know that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

Just when a few people were still trying to persuade them, Bai Yunxi walked in.

Xiao Wu stood up directly and helped the person to sit down in the main seat.

Bai Yunxi sat in the main seat, with her back straight and her eyes sweeping over the elders of the Tang clan with gentle eyes.

"I heard that several clan elders came to visit us. You don't have to guess what happened? Our Bai family is a family of farming and studying. It is not easy for An Sheng, my family, to reach this day by his own ability. There is a saying that the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade. , how many of you want to let the descendants of the Tang family enjoy the shade without planting trees? My six-year-old grandson knows that he will not be rewarded for his merits, so your appearance is too ugly. "

Several people:"……"

"Don't blame me for being harsh. The fact that you are here shows that you are prepared for it. The Tang family has a huge business. My husband couldn't compete with us before, but now we don't need it. We just hope that the water in the well will not interfere with the water in the river."

Looking at their shocked eyes, Bai Yunxi smiled gently.

"To be honest, I have no intention of pursuing my late husband's background. After all, when we met, he took my surname of Bai. He has been through many hardships and hardships. My children are what they are today, all thanks to their own efforts, one step at a time. Footprints. Only through your own efforts can you live up to your youth."

Seeing the expressions of several people looking at each other, Baiyunxi picked up the tea cup and said,

"If we are like this, why should you bother with this?"

After understanding Bai Yunxi's reminder, several people's faces turned purple. If they couldn't understand this, then they were really stupid.

I came in high spirits, but came back disappointed, and was taught a lesson in front of my face. I really can't stand it.

You can't blame them for being greedy. There have been no such outstanding figures in the Tang family for several generations. Unexpectedly, a descendant who was living abroad would crush all the descendants of the Tang family. How could they sit still?

To put it bluntly, they were not impressed at all and thought they wanted to pick ready-made peaches. The Tang family is a clan after all, so how can they be humiliated like this?

After seeing off the Tang clan members, Xiao Wu looked at his mother,

"Mom, you don't need to argue with them. I don't think my father can remember the Tang family when he is dying. Since he didn't mention it, he naturally thinks that the Tang family is not a good place to go. Now we are a good family."

His mother stepped in to stop him and saved him from the embarrassment. In fact, he really didn't take the Tang family seriously.

"Now that you are in the officialdom, you have a lot of control over yourself. My mother doesn't like the Tang family, so she is happy to be the bad guy."

Of course, her selfishness is not excluded.

In my memory, the old scholar and his wife were really affectionate towards Bai Yunhui's son-in-law. Such true love should not be let down.

There is no way to get her to make a wedding dress for someone else.

It has been made clear from the beginning that she is not a person with great love, and can only pretend to be good to her in her heart.

Next, the daughter prepares the dowry.

In order to give her daughter some practical dowry, Bai Yunxi also went to North Street to see Cao Jian's new house.

A courtyard with two entrances is enough for the couple to live in. The front yard is for guests, and the back yard is for people, including the maid and mother-in-law, so it is also very spacious.

Knowing the size of the yard, Baiyun Xi felt confident and went straight to prepare. Everything from a washbasin to a camphor wood cabinet as large as a step-by-step bed, a carriage for travel, and not a single piece of the dowry was left behind.

It's not easy to find someone who meets my eyes, so I can't treat her badly no matter what.

In addition to these large items, Bai Yunxi also gave his daughter a package of five thousand taels.

"Mom, this is too much. I can't use so much. One thousand taels is enough."

She had never done anything. Apart from helping to take care of her nephew and doing some housework, she was not needed for anything else. She felt uneasy about taking the family's money for nothing.

"Just take what mother gave you. This is the dowry mother gave you. If you need it one day, you won't be in a hurry." Bai Yunxi patted her hand, "Mother only hopes that you will live well. nothing else needed."

Bai Jingjing's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but throw himself into Bai Yunxi's arms, "Mother, how could I be so virtuous and capable as to be reincarnated into your belly? I must have done good deeds in my previous life and moved the Bodhisattva, so I met such a kind mother. 's mother."

"You are right, God has destined us to have a mother-son relationship."

On a warm spring day, Bai Jingjing got married in a beautiful wedding dress amid the blessings of everyone.

There were many guests who came to see the bride off, and it was very lively. All the officials and family members from Kyoto were present. Some people sincerely gave their blessings, and some took the opportunity to make friends. But this time Baiyunxi did not refuse. Everyone who came was a guest, as long as they wanted to congratulate their daughter. Yes, she welcomed them warmly.

After sending away the last wave of guests, Bai Yunxi put on light home clothes and fell asleep on the Arhat bed.

The girl took the beauty mallet and gently tapped her calf.

Each of the five children has their own destiny, and her duties have been completed.

Now, their family has become the new rich in Kyoto, standing in a position of superiority, overlooking all living beings.

Looking back on the embarrassment and confusion when I first arrived at this era, and how comfortable I am now, I feel a lot of emotions in my heart.

The family grew up from scratch, the hardships along the way, the joy of having food and clothing, the harmony of brothers and sisters, the friendship of helping each other... She has no regrets in her heart.

From the moment Xiao Wu became the prime minister, she became the first-class lady and became an old lady that everyone envied.

After the daughter got married, the family's middle income was given to the fifth daughter-in-law. She completely became the hands-off shopkeeper and the most leisurely old lady.

Her salty fish life has completely begun.
