Chapter 961 Burden
Mrs. Tang asked knowingly. Although the loss of the legitimate son of the Tang family caused a sensation at the time, after all, it has been a long time and people are forgetful. As long as it has nothing to do with them, they will just forget it.
This happened before she entered the Tang family. As a girl in the boudoir, it is understandable that she didn't know.
Censor Tang put down the teacup, stroked his beard, and sighed softly,
"You also know that my mother is the second wife, and I have an elder brother named Tang Qinghui, which was given by my grandfather himself, 'If the bad ends, it will be followed by good, and if the dark ends, the clear light will shine in the morning'. It means that the bad ends and the good ends, and the dark ends and the light comes."
In the blink of an eye, they haven't seen each other for more than 30 years.
Listening to the thoughtful tone of the master, Mrs. Tang suppressed the look in her eyes,
"Now that the eldest uncle has returned, what should the master do?"
If the eldest uncle is fine, he will definitely be the heir of the Tang Mansion and the head of the Tang family.
But he happened to go wrong and disappeared for decades. When she and the master were discussing marriage, she never heard anyone mention that there was a missing master in the mansion. After the elders passed away, the master naturally accepted everything in the mansion. As the mistress of the Tang family over the years, she has also worked hard. When she encountered bad circumstances, she privately supplemented a lot of dowry.
To this day, the hard work involved cannot be blamed on outsiders.
Since she married the master, she has given birth to two sons and two daughters. Now they have started their own families and careers. The whole mansion is her own children and grandchildren.
What happened in the Tang family before was not something she could control, but now it is not possible.
She is the old lady of the Tang family, surrounded by children and grandchildren, and suddenly an uncle appears. No matter how she arranges, it is embarrassing.
According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, the original wife's legitimate son inherits more than half of the ancestral property, and the rest is the share that the brothers below deserve. Now these things are in their hands, and it is naturally impossible for her to take them out and give them to her uncle again.
The purpose of Bai Shuren revealing this matter to her today was nothing more than to let them come up with a set of rules, but how to arrange the whole family really needs to be carefully considered.
What she could think of, Tang Yushi could also think of, and he pondered for a moment.
"You can send a note to the Bai Mansion later. Although the matter is roughly clear, it is related to the bloodline of the Tang family, and it is still necessary to confirm it. I will send a note to my brother later..."
At this point, Tang Yushi suddenly stopped talking.
"I neglected it. Bai Hanlin's past has long been investigated. His resume is marked as his father's death. It is really not easy for the eldest sister-in-law to raise several children. We should help more in the future."
He squinted at his old wife. After Bai Hanlin came to Beijing, everyone talked about it privately, and the situation of the Bai family was also inquired about. Bai Hanlin lost his father at a young age, and the Bai family raised the whole family.
Thinking of this, Tang Yushi silently breathed a sigh of relief. He was so shocked by the news about his brother that he forgot about it.
Listening to the master's narration, Mrs. Tang's irritable mood also calmed down inexplicably.
"Don't say that the master neglected it. I was too surprised by this matter and neglected to ask. In this way, the Bai family is really not easy, but they can go all the way to Kyoto and enter the Hanlin Academy, which is also a dragon and phoenix among people."
She is old now, and she wants to live a stable life.
"It must be the earnest teachings of my brother... My brother has been smart since he was a child, especially in reading, he is very talented. Grandfather has praised my brother more than once as the unicorn of the Tang family, and his children will naturally not be too bad."
My brother is the eldest grandson valued by his grandparents. When his father mentioned him, his eyes were full of regret. These eyes have always been with him during his growing years.
When he was young and ignorant, he complained a lot, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must study hard and win back the eyes of his grandfather and father.
Now in the blink of an eye, he and his brother have been separated for more than 30 years.
Censor Tang stroked his gray beard with a calm look. He was used to the identity of the head of the Tang family. Even if his brother returned, he could only find a way to settle him down, but he did not intend to give up the head of the family and the family property.
Although God treated his brother unfairly, the times had changed and things had changed.
The relationship between them was thinner without his brother, but he would check those nephews and recognize them as his own if they were of good character.
Especially Bai Hanlin, although he was a favorite of the officials, it would be difficult for him to stay for long with his courage alone.
If he was supported by the Tang family, he would have a firm foothold and a support behind him. With such a kindness, if the Tang family encountered any difficulties, Bai Hanlin would not be able to stand idly by, which could be regarded as earning a guarantee for the children of the Tang family.
"It's fate that my brother has been living in a foreign land for decades, marrying and having children, which must have been very hard. Now that he is gone, as brothers, we really have to help each other. But before that, you should see what the Bai family thinks before making any plans."
"Don't worry, sir, I will send someone to deliver the invitation tomorrow morning." Mrs. Tang got the confirmation and nodded in agreement.
They are a lifelong couple and understand each other. Naturally, they can handle this matter properly.
"By the way, bring some medicinal herbs when you come to the door. I heard that Bai Hanlin was attacked in the street today and was seriously injured. You should go to visit him." People from Jingzhao Prefecture came out in waves, almost turning over the East City.
Seeing his old wife confused, Censor Tang narrated the news on the street to her, and then sighed faintly.
"You are still too young."
The knife in the hands of the official is not so easy to be. If you are not careful, it is easy to backfire.
Old Madam Tang listened, sighed, and immediately asked people to prepare, "I will have someone pass the note over now. No matter what happens in the future, it is okay to visit."
Censor Tang did not interfere with the affairs of the harem. After giving instructions, he got up and went to the study.
Bai Yunxi leaned on the Luohan bed, Shi Liu dutifully massaged her shoulders. Just when she was drowsy, Qiu Kui came in with a note.
"Master, the note from the Tang family."
Bai Yunxi opened her eyes, so fast?
After reading the note, Bai Yunxi curved the corners of her mouth, "Tell the person who sent the note that I will wait for the old lady of the Tang family tomorrow."
The Tang family is a second-rate clan in Kyoto, and it is also a family with a solid foundation. The head of the Tang family is the Imperial Envoy Doctor, a second-rank official of the court, and the two legitimate sons of the family are also officials in the court, which is considered good.
But the identity of the Tang family is just contrary to the responsibilities that Xiaowu is currently responsible for.
Fortunately, Xiaowu has expressed his attitude that he can get to know him, but he will not recognize his ancestors.
Regardless of the situation back then, the loss of the family's offspring is a mistake that cannot be ignored.
There must be secrets within the Tang family that outsiders cannot tell.
Now they are all old, and what happened back then is no longer important.
Finding out the old scholar's background can also be considered an explanation to him. In the future, when setting up a memorial tablet and writing about his life, there will be a reason.
