The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain
89. Widow Wang
"That's new learning!"
"Disciples of Guan Xue continue their unique learning for the saints. Unfortunately... when they come to my place, I am afraid that Guan Xue will decline or even die..."
Mr. Zhu said, chewing another mouthful of dry tea leaves.
Bai Gui listened.
The meal passed quickly, and Mr. Zhu behaved the same as before after the meal. There was nothing different.
The academy still teaches students.
He went to pay his respects to Senior Brother Wang Ruqin and several other senior fellow students with whom he was close friends. It usually costs a lot for Lin Sheng to act as a guarantee, but Senior Brother Wang only received a small part of it. It was all a favor.
Staying in the back house, another night passed.
"I thought that according to the time, you would leave soon. I am poor and have nothing to give you."
"This is a calligraphy I wrote years ago."
"I'll give it to you."
Mr. Zhu gave a calligraphy scroll to Bai Gui.
This time Bai Gui came to thank his teacher, just like he went to Xu Xiucai's home to express his gratitude, he also brought many gifts.
Giving back your own handwriting is the romance of a literati.
Mr. Zhu is his husband, and the gift of handwriting also has a warning meaning.
"Thank you sir!"
Bai Gui saluted.
He unfolded the handwriting and saw that there was a poem written on the yellowed scroll. The poem was called "Climbing the South Peak of Huayue Mountain".
"Step through thousands of white clouds, and look up to the melting water on the Tianchi Lake."
"The great air in the sky is overwhelming the mountains, but this peak is the mainstay of the human world!"
Seeing this calligraphy, Bai Gui was immediately shocked. This calligraphy was written by Mr. Zhu in the past and was widely circulated in Qin Province. Now, the original handwriting written in the past is given to him. The meaning is self-evident.
And the last sentence at the end of this poem, "The mainstay of the world is this peak" refers to Huashan Mountain. What does this scene in this scene refer to?
Orthodoxy!
The orthodoxy of Guanxue!
He seems to be just a scholar now, but in fact, the number of people in Qin Province who can go to study abroad is probably only a few dozen at most, and those who come from Mr. Zhu's disciples are even fewer...
It was justifiable to give him this calligraphy scroll.
Bai Gui bowed deeply, carefully put the scroll away, then turned around and rode away.
…
After thanking the two gentlemen and colleagues, as well as various connections, Bai Gui returned to Bailu Village and finally had time to rest.
In the past few days, he had eaten, read, and not gone out, so he finally had some time to spare.
I have developed the habit of reading, which is also a kind of enjoyment.
A middle-aged woman passed by outside the fence. She saw Bai Gui reading under the eaves and walked away quickly.
"Aunt Wang? What? Are you afraid your forehead will look like this?"
Bai Gui stood up and put down the book he was holding, smiled kindly at the woman outside the door, and invited her in. When speaking to villagers, there is no need to use any official language, otherwise it will inevitably appear artificial.
Outside the door was the Widow Wang whom Bai Youde had mentioned to him before.
"Don't go in, don't go in..."
Widow Wang declined quickly. She didn't dare to just walk away without replying, and froze in place with a red face.
Bai Gui welcomed her in.
Made a pot of hot tea.
In this era, anyone with a little wealth would have tea at home.
"Aunt Wang, I know what you are thinking."
Bai Gui glanced at Widow Wang. Widow Wang first arranged the marriage between him and her daughter. Although Bai Gui had the idea that if Bai Gui really achieved fame, he would be able to raise his family status and enjoy happiness, she did not think highly of him as a young man in the village.
On some days, eggs and other food were given as gifts.
He had only lived in the village for a short period of time, but he could also see that Widow Wang and his father seemed to have an eye on each other. Widow Wang helped to set up the running water mat for three days...
"What?" Widow Wang was a little embarrassed. Even though she could have sex with some women and run the family business with shame, she would not dare to be presumptuous in front of Bai Gui, her husband.
The identity is different!
"This matter, uh... uh..."
She was anxious to defend herself, but she couldn't say a few words.
"It's okay. I agreed to the marriage between you and E's dad. While I'm still here, you can get the wedding done!" Bai Gui took a sip of tea, neither showing closeness nor distance. .
Close?
If he really loosens his grip on a powerful woman like Widow Wang, Bai Youde will not be able to resist it. Then the relationship between father and son will inevitably become cold, so he must put up a high airs.
"Tian and Zhuangzi, the E family doesn't want it. It belongs to your family or your family. You and E's father live together. As for your daughter, E will be sent to a girls' school in the provincial capital by someone to study. The money will be paid by E. If your family pays for it, you can marry into a good husband’s family in the future.”
Bai Gui saw the hesitation in Widow Wang's eyes and couldn't help but say.
He was afraid that Widow Wang would be greedy, and Widow Wang was also afraid that he would take advantage of the marriage to take advantage of her family's property. This kind of thing doesn't happen often in the countryside, but it does happen, so be on guard.
"That Gui... Gui baby, is this settled like this?"
Widow Wang called out tentatively. As a widow, she was always braver than the average woman.
"Yeah! Aunt Wang!"
Bai Gui didn't call her mother, but still called Aunt Wang.
In his opinion, it is estimated that Bai Youde's affection for Widow Wang is not that real, but more that Widow Wang is trying hard.
In addition, girls from poor families in the countryside are really not worth much. A few stones of grain are used as betrothal gifts, and other families rush to marry girls at his house, even if the bride is Bai Youde...
Having a scholar as an in-law not only increases your reputation, but also increases your status, which also has real benefits.
When Widow Wang saw this, there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but she quickly put on a smile and agreed with Bai Gui. After saying a few words, she ran to the side room and pulled Bai You over.
"What? Did you agree to the marriage with your Aunt Wang?"
Bai Youde also had a surprised look on his face, and immediately burst out laughing in his heart, but he still didn't dare to show too much joy on his face. A father is more valuable than a son, and he didn't dare to ignore Bai Gui's feelings.
Once you rely on others, you have to consider the feelings of others in everything you do.
"Dad, well, now I'm going to Japan to study. It's not good for you to be the only one left at home."
"Aunt Wang is quite capable..."
"If you can keep your home well organized, you don't have to worry..."
Bai Gui smiled slightly, he really didn't care about this matter. Bai Youde has been a widower for so many years, and he can't just stay a bachelor. Widow Wang's reputation is also good, and it is reasonable to marry one after another.
Besides, he was raised by Bai Youde, and as for his biological mother, he had long forgotten all about her.
With Bai Gui's consent, Bai Youde can do anything.
Widow Wang is indeed a powerful woman. With Bai Gui's promise, she immediately spread the word to the whole village, hoping to make it an established fact. Once the Bai family goes back on their word, their reputation will be ruined.
After Bai Gui heard about it, he frowned slightly and didn't care anymore. As long as Widow Wang gets married, she just remembers to manage the Bai family. The more powerful she is, the better she is.
