Chapter 794 Different Identity
The family suddenly received good news, which attracted the whole village. It would be strange not to make a fuss. Bai Jingjing knew that what her mother didn't like the most was noise. Being suddenly surrounded by these people, her black face was already the limit without getting angry.
Before she could open her mouth to comfort her, the door curtain rang and Ms. Zhang walked in carrying a basket.
"You, you have been so worried all these years. Fortunately, you can finally watch the bright moon. It's all worth it."
After Xiao Wu's good news arrived, the whole village was in a state of excitement. Everyone was envious of the Bai family's honor, and now everyone was trying their best to get involved with the Bai family. I hope I can get some light and some benefits.
That’s all for people of the same clan. Even people with foreign surnames want to be relatives, which is a bit ridiculous.
She has not forgotten how those people laughed when her aunt was in trouble. Now that she is seeing her life getting better, she wants to lick her face and pick her over. Even if Yunxi doesn't say anything, she can't look past him.
Therefore, the head of the family asked her to remind her, and to comfort her aunt and keep her steady. No matter how many people from the village came to the door, just ignore it.
Tonight, the head of the family will summon the Bai family members to vent their anger. Before Xiao Wu comes back, they are not allowed to lick their faces and cause trouble to the Bai family.
As the clan leader and Li Zheng, the clan members did not prevent the villagers from participating in the clan meetings, and they just happened to beat them together.
Seeing Ms. Zhang come in and listening to her thoughts, Bai Yunxi quickly asked people to sit down.
"Everything you said is correct. Xiao Wu is indeed up to date. My hanging heart has finally settled."
Having said that, Xiaowu's difficulties still lie ahead. It can only be said that when Xiao Wu walked out of the village, he often climbed rocks, and the higher he climbed, the harder it became.
"Xiao Wu won the first prize and entered an official career. He is also a member of a poor family. In a family like ours, if he wants to help, it will be up to him. Xiao Wu is a low-income student who is not deeply involved in the world. I don't know. Can you adapt to the complicated rules of officialdom? "
In the eyes of the villagers, it was a great honor for Xiaowu to pass the first prize. From now on, they no longer belong to ordinary people, but how easy is it for people from poor families to integrate into the ranks of officials?
Xiaowu's start was considered the first generation of his family to pioneer, and it was also the most difficult.
Just like those century-old clans, which one doesn't have the strength and heritage accumulated over several generations? No one can reach the sky in one step. For a champion who has no backing and a weak family, he must be careful every step he takes to prevent falling into a pit dug by others and falling into a trap.
Those people in the officialdom all have Qiqiao exquisite hearts. When you come into contact with them, you must always be vigilant. Even they, the family members of the back house, will have to learn to socialize in the back house in the future, and they still have to be cautious when dealing with the official family members.
Hearing Bai Yunxi's worries, Ms. Zhang was stunned. She imagined those high-ranking officials in official robes in her mind, and her heart trembled subconsciously.
"Your cousin is also worried about this. Sister-in-law, I don't know much about that. I just think that if our Xiaowu can get the number one scholar, he will be a great official, and no one can be higher than him. But I hear that you and the head of the family are worried, I I don’t feel confident anymore.”
On the happy day, the head of the family actually said that Xiao Wu could only walk on his own in the future, and only he could understand the difficulties. Although she doesn't understand, one or two people think so, so they should be inseparable.
"Sister-in-law, I am just an ordinary woman. I seldom go out and don't understand big things. Since you brothers and sisters are so worried, it must not be easy. If nothing else, if something happens in the future and I need to help, Yunxi You can be polite to me."
Listening to Zhang's tone, Bai Yunxi looked at her with gentle eyes,
"How much have my sister-in-law and cousin helped my family over the years? My sister remembers it all in her heart. We are relatives who have not yet served. Naturally, I will not be polite to my sister-in-law when something happens. Besides, there is only one person I can talk to in the whole village. You and Sister Song, I wish you could come over and chat with me every day."
"It's a pity. Every family has a lot of things to do. I can't be too greedy."
Hearing Bai Yunxi's teasing tone, Mrs. Zhang felt relieved and smiled briskly.
"You can still be poor now, which means you have a good attitude. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to control the situation today."
From now on, this Bai family's aunt will belong to the official family. No matter how close she is, her status will be different. She estimated that it wouldn't be long before her aunt and her family would have to follow Xiao Wu to take office.
Hearing Zhang's voice, Bai Yunxi was stunned. Xiao Wu was the top scholar in the new department. After returning home to visit relatives, he would definitely go to work. As for where he would be sent, it was not known yet. As for whether she would go with Xiao Wu. , I really didn’t think about it.
I heard that the imperial court had already standardized the dispatch management of talents with Jinshi qualifications and Jinshi origins. The top three are staying in Beijing, while the rest are waiting to be dispatched abroad.
But it is not absolute. If there are no vacancies in the court, or the officials want to train talents, even the new champion will be sent to the local area as a county magistrate. After three years, he will be transferred back to Beijing if he excels in the assessment.
These all depend on the official's thoughts and current situation, and are not something she can guess.
Mrs. Zhang came over to convey Baiyuntang's thoughts. The two talked for a while and then left. Baiyunxi also took the opportunity to rest for a while.
Ever since the good news of the No. 1 pick in Primary 5 Middle School was given, the area around their home has become a gathering place for people. In the gossip center, there is a group of people from morning to night. Although they are not too close... But if there is any trouble in her home, these people will People can straighten their ears immediately.
Mrs. Li walked in with her child in her arms, looking unhappy, and snorted softly,
"Mom, the front of our house has become a place for the villagers to have fun after dinner. You can't get angry when they greet you with a joking face, otherwise it will make you look petty. Some people even dare to be sour, saying that it is a great joy for my fifth brother to pass the imperial examination, but you must not look down on poor relatives. It's uncomfortable to hear."
Listening to Li's complaints, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and shook the rattle in front of his grandson,
"You are angry about such a small thing, just don't bother with them. If you want to watch it, go ahead. After all, Xiaowu's success in the imperial examination is a big sensation in the village. It's no wonder that everyone is curious. As for those sour words, just listen to them. Anyway, no one dares to say them in front of us. "
"That's right. Since my fifth brother passed the imperial examination, the attitude of the village towards our family has changed. No matter where I go, people greet me with smiles and are very polite. It's completely different from before."
Li curled her lips. Her father had told her a long time ago that human hearts are the hardest to estimate.
When you are good, everyone surrounds you and praises you as beautiful as a flower. When you are not good, they stay away from you. If they can't step on you, they are considered good people.
