The group pet prince is a full-scale boss

Chapter 41

Rumors are raging, saying everything.

Some say that Shi Erlang deserves what he deserves for doing all the bad things, and some say that Bai Qiniang has evil spirits in his life, and Shi Erlang will only become stupid when he bumps into Bai Qiniang.

Others said that Bai Qiniang was a spirit who didn't know where, and because she was annoyed by Shi Erlang, she did evil methods to harm people.

Anyway, in less than a day, all kinds of rumors in the whole Lin'an City were aroused.

When the Anyuan Hou's couple heard the news, they came to Baifu to visit Bai Mengjin and comfort their niece.

Even Empress Meng in the palace, after learning of the rumors outside, specially sent Zhang's servant beside her, and brought a lot of rewards to the White House, in this way to show her love and support for Bai Mengjin.

Regarding these, Bai Zongzheng and Bai Mengjin remained calm and unaffected at all.

Bai Mengjin had a good appetite for dinner, so she ate as much as she wanted, and went back to Yunxiang Pavilion to rest after dinner.

At the third watch, a strange whistle came from a distance, Bai Mengjin didn't go out when she heard it, and only asked Bai Wei to put a Kongming lantern in the yard.

After that, the strange whistle stopped, and Bai Mengjin fell asleep peacefully.

The next day is the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the day of worshiping ancestors during the Ghost Festival.

Since the imperial court crossed to the south, the ancestral graves are all in the north, and there is only a temporary burial place in the south, which is called Zangong.

Therefore, on the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, the palace will send people to Zangong to perform the ceremony of the court mausoleum, and the mausoleum of the kings and concubines will also have a sacrificial ceremony.

Some folks worship at home, eat fast and chant Buddha, burn incense, make offerings, and prostrate to ancestors, and some go to the graves to pay respects.

And the temples are the busiest on this day, because the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival is the day of liberation. All temples, large and small, have to set up fasting and liberation, hold sacrifices for the fallen soldiers, and set up dojos for lonely souls.

The homes of high-ranking officials and dignitaries will also invite monks to their homes, set up a funeral ceremony at their homes, and recommend the monks to mourn. Anyway, everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people is very busy on this day.

As soon as it dawned in the morning, there were sellers of glutinous rice, also known as broomcorn rice, on the street, selling them door-to-door.

In addition, there are Zhuan Mingcai, flower cakes, sour stuffing, sand stuffing, and cockscombs used to worship ancestors, etc.

The tombs of Bai Zongzheng's grandfather and father were both at the border, so naturally he couldn't visit the tombs to pay respects, so on this day, he worshiped the ancestors at the Songhe Hall in the mansion.

Since the worship is in the mansion, not the ancestral hall, both men and women must go to the Songhe Hall to worship the ancestors of the Bai family together.

Bai Mengjin was dressed in a moon-white shirt and skirt, with only a plain silver hairpin on her head. Led by the maids and servants, Bai Mengjin came to Songhe Hall.

"Daughter pays a visit to father, and Xiao Qi meets all sisters-in-law and brother Qi, but Xiao Qi is late."

The Yunxiang Pavilion where Bai Mengjin lives is far away from Songhe Hall, so when she arrived, Bai Zongzheng, father and son, and Lin's sister-in-law had already arrived.

Seeing his daughter coming, Bai Zongzheng hurriedly nodded, "It's not too late, there are others who are later than you."

Bai Zongzheng looked at the old Mrs. Bai and the second-bedroom family who had arrived late in the distance, with a bit of displeasure in his tone.

Bai Mengjin looked out following her father's gaze, and saw an old lady in her 50s, full of jewels and emerald clothes, walking slowly, surrounded by everyone.

Only then did Bai Mengjin remember something. It seemed that she hadn't seen this old lady since she returned to the White Mansion.

"Brother Six, is that the old lady in the mansion? Next to her is the second uncle and second aunt?" Bai Mengjin asked Bai Liulang softly.

"Yes, that is grandfather's step-wife, the old lady of our family.

On her left is her second uncle Bai Zongmin, on her right is her second aunt Wu Shi, followed by a woman and two men, the three children of the second room, according to the ranking in our house, they are Ba Niang, Jiu Lang, and Shi Lang. "

Brothers are sorted, most of them are only counted according to close relatives, at most they are ranked in order by cousins ​​in a mansion.

After Bai Siji, Bai Sihong, and Bai Siyao grew up and got married and had children, the next generation will have their own opinions.

As for the two sons of the second room, if they get married and have children, they will not be ranked with the big room.

"Bai Niang Bai Xiuyu, the same age as you and seventeen, born in the twelfth lunar month, almost a year younger than you.

Jiulang Bai Wenqi is fifteen this year, and Shilang Bai Wenxiu is twelve this year. Originally, the Bai family's generation should be ranked by words, and the six of us should also be like this.

Because Dad and A Niang have a very close relationship, when Dad named us, he used the word Meng. You are a girl, so we changed it to Meng. "

When mentioning the origin of the names of the six brothers of the Bai family, Bai Liulang felt sad again.

Parents have a deep relationship, love and harmony, but unfortunately, it will not last long. How good would it be if the mother was still there?Their family is neat and harmonious, how lively is that?

When Bai Mengjin heard this, she couldn't help but also sighed. Ever since the Meng family died of illness, Bai Zongzheng has been alone so far, and he doesn't even have a servant around him, let alone a concubine's room.

As far as Bai Zongzheng is concerned, not to mention that he wants to remarry, even if he takes a concubine, there will probably be many ladies rushing in, but Bai Zongzheng has never had such a thought.

In these years, Bai Zongzheng can really be regarded as a rare infatuated good man.

When the two brothers and sisters were sighing with emotion, Mrs. Bai had already led everyone from the second room into the Songhe Hall.

"Meet the old lady." "Greetings to the grandmother and great-grandmother." Bai Zongzheng led his daughter-in-law, son, daughter, and grandson, and went forward to salute the old lady.

With a sullen face, old lady Bai turned her eyes around the people in the big room, and finally landed on Bai Mengjin.

"Is this the Qiniang you found all the way from the countryside? Sure enough, she was born in the countryside, and she can't stand on the stage, and she doesn't even know the rules.

After returning home for so many days, she didn't even go to Ninghui Courtyard to meet her elders, so she was a vulgar and rude country girl. "

Old Madam Bai gave Bai Mengjin a deliberate look to hide her surprise at seeing Bai Mengjin's face, and then said in a contemptuous tone.

When Bai Zongzheng heard this, his face turned ugly. He held the little girl in his palm and cared for him. He couldn't even bear to say a serious word. When will it be others' turn to make irresponsible remarks?

"Hey, what the old lady said is wrong. Although Xiaoqi grew up in the countryside, he knows how to be educated and behave well, even if he is no worse than the ladies in Lin'an City." Bai Zongzheng didn't care about that, and directly spoke to protect his daughter.

"As soon as Xiaoqi returned to the mansion, he followed me to pay homage to the Meng family, and then encountered some things, so he had to delay a few days in Zhuangzi.

The day before yesterday, I was frightened again. After returning home to recuperate, I haven't had time to visit Ninghui Courtyard.Didn't you see this today?So what if it's early and late? "

Bai Zongzheng's words almost made Bai Wang's head fall in anger. What do you mean it doesn't matter whether it's early or late?

Bai Wangshi has been waiting for Bai Mengjin to come and see her, so that she can be embarrassing to her face to face, so that she will not be arrogant in the mansion from now on with her tail between her legs.

But Bai Wang waited for so many days without even seeing Bai Mengjin's shadow. The meeting today was just a few words, and Bai Zongzheng pushed him back. How could the old lady Bai, who was always used to domineering, bear it?
