Bai Shan stopped in his tracks, looked sideways at Man Bao, and said with a smile, "Naturally."
He also lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "First, we have to have two children..."
Man Bao put away the curiosity on his face, stepped on his instep and walked over. Bai Shan let out a "hiss", took two steps to catch up, stretched out his hand to hold her hand and said with a smile: "I'm serious." Yes, you have to wait until you have an heir before thinking about the next step."
He lowered his voice and said: "When our children grow up, we will branch out with our family, or form a branch alone, or go to Mianzhou to form a branch with my cousin."
Man Bao: "Can Longzhou be willing?"
Bai Shan said with a smile: "It's common sense to have big branches. As long as I tell the truth, they will naturally be willing."
This is not an easy matter. In times of non-war chaos, the general family will not easily branch off.
At that time, Master Bai's grandfather and father were able to branch out because of the war in the previous dynasty, and uprisings continued in various places. Their relationship with the main family was already far away, and they were somewhat at odds. It was difficult to live in Longzhou, so they followed the refugees slowly. Slowly arrived in Mianzhou.
Later, I wrote a letter back to report to my family, and opened a single branch in Mianzhou directly.
Because of the war, the tribe scattered and lived in various places, so it is naturally impossible to ask them to return to their hometown.
It’s okay for those who haven’t been contacted, and those who have been contacted, they want to branch, and the main family basically agrees without any opinions.
But now the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and Bai Shan is a new Jinshi. He is considered the most promising of the Bai family's younger brothers. It may not be easy for him to branch out.
But Bai Shan felt that it was man-made, as long as he had enough power to speak and had enough reasons, he could always persuade the elders of the patriarch to agree.
And after the branch, "At that time, we will teach our children and grandchildren well, so that the Bai family's reputation will spread far and wide, and it will not be just a small family in Longzhou that has declined like it is now."
Man Bao: "You're quite ambitious, you want to be among the aristocratic families by yourself, don't you?"
"At least I can't be too bad, I said I want to honor my ancestors," Bai Shan said with a smile: "But this is not the main goal of life, it's just a plan for the future of the family, I think the Zhou family also needs a plan for the future of the family .”
"Even if a good marriage cannot change the family, it will have a great impact on the family. You and I have been friends since we were young, childhood sweethearts, and the kindness of our parents. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, it is natural for us to get married, but if we immediately If you can also get married with the Liu family, in the eyes of the world, your Zhou family has already been able to marry the nobles, and it will be much easier to marry them next time."
Man Bao said: "I'm afraid of Qi Dafei."
"We all know Liu Huan's character, and Mrs. Liu Shangshu has also expressed her point of view, so let's look at Liu Shangshu." Bai Shan looked at her and said, "Actually, you come to discuss this marriage with the Liu family. , is better than father-in-law and mother-in-law, because you and Liu Shangshu are officials in the same dynasty, and there is not much difference in official rank."
Man Bao thought it was true.
Liu Shangshu is a third rank, but she is also a fourth rank editor, okay
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "I'll ask Liru."
Always ask her what she means.
Zhou Liru thought for a quarter of an hour before saying: "Sister, Liu's family is too high. Even if I can't be an imperial physician, I will still be a doctor. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of my study of medical books all these years? And I like it." Treat people."
"What if the Liu family doesn't mind like the Bai family and doesn't stop it?"
Zhou Liru's eyes lit up, and he said with some uncertainty: "Is their family willing?"
Man Bao knew Zhou Liru's attitude, so he waved his hand and said, "What's the problem? I'll ask Liu Shangshu later."
Zhou Liru stared, blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "There's nothing wrong with it, why don't you ask Liu Shangshu?"
"The most basic question lies here. If you don't ask clearly, your horoscope will never have that one stroke. That one stroke is the problem," Man Bao said: "When you ask clearly, with that one stroke, you The two of you will then decide whether to add something to it."
Zhou Liru: ...
Then Man Bao was waiting to go to the Dachaohui.
As soon as the court meeting was over, she immediately chased Liu Shangshu out, and stopped Liu Shangshu who was talking to the two ministers from the Ministry of Industry and War, "Liu Shangshu, shall we talk?"
The three elders turned to look at her together.
Liu Shangshu was a little wary, and Han Shangshu squinted at her with Zhao Guogong, the newly promoted Minister of the Ministry of War, and was also a little wary, "Master Zhou, aren't you just a doctor in the Imperial Medical Office?"
Still care about money
Seeing that the new year is about to start, all the departments that rob them of money are enemies.
Man Bao glanced at them and said, "I'm not doing business, it's private."
Han Shangshu and Zhao Guogong breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Shangshu cheered up almost immediately, and immediately said: "Okay, let's take a step to talk."
Han Shangshu came to his senses, grabbed him and said, "Liu Shangshu, you can't go back on what you promised. I will write a letter to His Majesty at the next court meeting."
Liu Shangshu pulled out his sleeves vigorously, "I promise you anything, aren't we discussing it, and I am not the only one who has the final say on the money in the national treasury, it has to be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Education and Menxia, do you know? If you have the ability, go to Master Wei."
Wei Zhi was in charge of the provincial government, and specially reviewed the excerpts for the six volumes of the Shangshu.
"You...you just let the mouth loose. The mouth of the Yellow River must be dredged. There is little snow this year. Qin Tianjian said that there may be drought in the Central Plains this year. There will be more rain in two years. You..."
Liu Shangshu had already pulled his sleeves and left sideways, and even greeted Zhou Man, "Come, come, Mr. Zhou, let's talk over there."
Man Bao glanced at Han Shangshu sympathetically, and gave him a suggestion, "You might as well go to Mr. Wei with the brochure, and if you agree to it, the matter is half settled."
The remaining half has to be agreed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, um, that's Liu Shangshu's job.
Han Shangshu just glanced at Zhou Man lightly, could he not know
It was because Wei Zhi couldn't make sense of it, so he came to Liu Shangshu. Similarly, as long as Liu Shangshu agrees here, then the matter will be half done, and it will be much easier to report to the subordinate province.
Man Bao met Shang Han Shangshu's eyes and slipped away.
Zhao Guogong stopped Han Shangshu, "Okay, okay, Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, and I will mention it when I go to him for a drink during the Chinese New Year. It is not very useful to mention it now."
Han Shangshu could only give up, and then frowned, "Why is Zhou Man looking for Lao Liu?"
Zhao Guogong walked away with his hands behind his back, "Who knows, it's not an official business anyway."
Liu Shangshu also thinks so, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, that is to say, the beginning of spring is approaching, and when the new year comes to an end, the treasury's money will be divided again. There are too many people who come to him recently, so that he only needs to see a The chief officer subconsciously tensed his back, all came to him to ask for money.
Liu Shangshu and Zhou Man hid under a white marble bridge, leaning on the bridge and whispering, "Master Zhou, thank you for saving me."
Man Bao: "Not so, not so..."
"As for, as for," Liu Shangshu said with a smile: "Han Shangshu is difficult to deal with, and Zhao Guogong doesn't like to reason. There are not many people who can rescue me from them."
