Bai Erlang ran over to look at it, "Why are these notes of mine here with you?"
Bai Shan patted a newly opened book into his arms, "I still want to ask you, stuff all the books in my study."
Bai Erlang opened the book and flipped through it, amused, "This is a script I read many years ago, why is it still there?"
Seeing Bai Shan flipping through old books, he asked, "What are you doing flipping through them?"
"Organize the notes and send them to Longzhou."
Bai Erlang said "Hey", "Since when did you get so close with Longzhou that you are willing to send notes?"
Bai Shan clapped the manuscript in his hand and said: "In order not to let this incident happen again, and for me and Zhou Man to live a more comfortable life in the future, now we must seriously manage the relationship with the clan."
Bai Shan lowered his voice and said: "I will be able to think about this matter of division in the future when I am in a high position or when I am down."
Bai Erlang: "You haven't given up yet. I don't think they will let you divide the clan. It's not just because of you. Just one full week is enough for the clan to brag about. By then, there will be a big chapter in the genealogy. .”
When Bai Shan thought about it, it was true, the master would not let people go, and he couldn't betray the clan, which ruined his good reputation, "So we still have to build a good relationship with the clan."
Bai Erlang flipped through a few of his own notes and books, picked them up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Bai Shan raising his hand, "It's all here, let's sort it out together."
Bai Erlang: "...and arrested me as a white worker."
Being suppressed by Bai Shan, he could only stay and help, and went home after having dinner here in the evening.
Bai Shan sent the sorted notes back to Longzhou.
The Bai clan learned to receive almost a box of books and notes, and was very pleasantly surprised.
According to Bai Shan's intention, put it in the ethnology and copy it with the descendants of the clan, and return it to the original after three years.
"Most of these notes and annotations were written by Bai Shan when he was studying, and some were written by the wife of the fourth house. Both of them have grown up to be talents at a young age, and now they have achieved great success, especially Bai Shan. He is your elder and has not reached the top. He can pass the Jinshi examination, his notes can be said to be hard to find, so you should cherish this opportunity."
Everyone agrees.
The clan studies accepted the books, and the elders in the clan were not so annoyed at Bai Shan giving his eldest son his surname.
"Bai Shan said that he would select seven children to study in the capital, and he would send someone over to select them later. Do you have any candidates?" The elders of several directors of the Bai family took advantage of the opportunity to deliver books to talk together.
"What's the use of us having someone to choose?" One person said: "Since Bai Shan said that he would choose by himself, he would choose from the ethnology. Anyone can go. With his temperament, do you think it is useful for us to choose a candidate? ?”
"I think this is a good opportunity to fight for it," another person said, "Patriarch, Bai Shan left the clan when he was young, and has little relationship with us, but he is very close to Mianzhou. I also vaguely heard some rumors. It is said that he wants to branch off to the branch in Mianzhou."
"Earlier, the third and fifth brothers brought Sanlang and the others to the capital to study and run business. They also wanted to get closer to him and mend the relationship between their four families and clans. But after they arrived in the capital, they rarely saw Bai Shan. They were all with him. The aunts in the fourth room went back and forth, and later Bai Shan was let out again, and they didn't make any progress, they were unfamiliar, and even if they met on the street, he wouldn't even recognize San Lang."
As soon as this remark came out, many people felt annoyed, especially Bai Sanlang's father, who shook his sleeves and said: "Bai Shan is too arrogant."
"He has a stubborn temper, and it's not the first day for the brothers to know about it, so don't be angry about it anymore. I said this is an opportunity, because he chose the person who went to the capital to study this time." The man said: "Since it is him If you pick someone over, he will be responsible, and the relationship will be cultivated and cultivated.”
"Why do the two brothers from the Mianzhou branch have such a good relationship with him? Isn't it a friendship from childhood?" He chuckled and said, "Sifang wants to cultivate manpower and strengthen the relationship in the clan, and our clan also wants to repair it with him." Relationship, borrowing the power in his hands, this is a win-win thing, why not do it?"
"Then this candidate..."
"Let the children in the ethnology school prepare. Qilang from the second brother's family is very good. He is smart, quick-witted, lively and cheerful. He is a bit like him when he was a child. Maybe he can hit it off."
"Okay, let the children who intend to study in the capital get ready."
Bai Shan was counting his holidays, Zhou Man leaned over to watch, "Why do you have so many holidays?"
"Shh, I've accumulated all of this," Bai Shan stopped her exclamation, and hummed softly: "The holidays are all accumulated by my usual diligence."
Zhou Man asked curiously, "Are you going to take a long vacation?"
Bai Shandao: "It's not too long. I don't have many things to do recently. I plan to choose three days from the vacation I accumulated before. Counting the two days of rest and bathing, that's five days. I want to go back to Longzhou .”
"Um?"
Bai Shan smiled and said: "Our eldest sister is already four years old, so it's time to go on the genealogy. Although Wu Yuan's surname is Xia, he was born between the two of us. Naturally, we have to make an entry in the genealogy, and write down the ins and outs clearly. Thousands of years later, if future generations want to get to the bottom of it, there will be records."
"Is five days enough?"
"That's enough," Bai Shan said, "Longzhou is not far away, I will hurry up, five days is enough, worshiping ancestors is one thing, and I will take this opportunity to select students who come to Beijing." Bai Shan said: "I will let Liu Gui went back first, let him check the situation first, since I want to pick them to come to the capital, I have to take care of them, I can't pick some people with bad conduct."
Bai Shan is cultivating talents for the clan, but he does not plan to raise a group of ancestors, so among the students who come here, it is the first rule not to make trouble for him on purpose.
Bai Shan had a lot of leave, and the court was not very busy during this time, so he asked for leave, and Master Tang quickly approved it.
That's right, his immediate boss at this time is Mr. Tang, that's why he saved up all the vacations he could, and even exchanged vacations for his colleagues on weekdays.
His diligence is almost as good as Master Wei's in the early years.
Considering that Zhou Man had just given birth and was still in confinement, some people speculated that their husband and wife had a quarrel, and some time ago his eldest son was named Xia Mu...
"Is this the couple's separation?"
The rumors were so loud that even Mr. Tang couldn't help but care about the family life of his subordinates.
Bai Shan said without a word: "My lord, I want to save my holidays, and I will go back to my hometown next year to worship my ancestors and visit my relatives."
Old Master Tang, "Didn't you take a three-day vacation from the sixth day to the eighth day of next month? Look at your situation, do you want to take a month or two off?"
Bai Shan said embarrassingly: "I have calculated it. From now on, I will save at least sixty-seven days of vacation before the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. Of course, I don't have to take so many vacations. Yes, just fifty days is enough, after all, the court must be busy at that time, and the lower officials can't leave for too long."
Old Master Tang: "...you are quite thoughtful, Longzhou is not far away, why are you taking such a long leave?"
