Chapter 43
Bai Wangshi is not stupid, she is just too eager to deal with Bai Mengjin, that's why she finds faults as soon as they meet.

In the end, it didn't embarrass Bai Mengjin, but Bai Zongzheng ridiculed and contradicted him so much that he couldn't step down.

After being reminded by his daughter-in-law Bai Wushi, Bai Wangshi also figured it out, and it's not just a moment to clean up Bai Mengjin, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Bai Zongzheng has to go to the Political Affairs Hall every day, and is not at home. Isn't it easy for Bai Wangshi to torment Bai Mengjin?
When the daughters-in-law of the big house came in, they were bothered by her, didn't they?
Thinking of this, Bai Wang calmed down, suppressed the anger in his heart, and opened his mouth to speak.

But before she could speak, Bai Zongzheng over there spoke first.

"The old lady likes to be quiet, she doesn't like to be disturbed by others, and you don't have to go to say hello every day, just go with your sisters-in-law every now and then, just chat with the old lady.

Besides, you are also very busy, and you still have a lot of things to do, so you just have to go and visit your elders when you are free. You are a junior, and no one cares about these things with you. "

Bai Zongzheng looked at Bai Mengjin lovingly, and said with a smile. "Our Xiaoqi is a good and filial child, as long as you have this kind of heart, how can the elders pick your reason?"

Everyone in the room reacted differently when they heard Bai Zongzheng's words, which was wonderful.

Lin's sister-in-law and the three were secretly happy, it's time for you to show off your grandmother's profile, isn't this a slap in the face?

It's just a stepmother, do you really think of yourself as the old lady of the Duke's Mansion?Putting on the airs of a grandmother all day long to manipulate the younger generation, hmph, you are an old lady if you give me face, what are you if you don't give me face?
Bai Mengjin also found it funny in her heart, this old lady really thinks too much of herself, does she really think that this Duke's mansion is her world?
A stepwife, her husband is gone, and she has to rely on her stepson to get a foothold in the mansion. According to common sense, shouldn't she behave cautiously with her tail between her legs?How arrogant?

I think it was because Bai Zongzheng was too kind and easy to talk in the past, that allowed Bai Wangshi and Erfang to be so presumptuous.This kind of person really can't be used to it, as soon as he gets used to it, he will go to heaven.

Speaking of which, in a situation like the White House, it is best to separate the family and let the second room move out to live separately, which can avoid many troubles.

However, the old lady Bai is still alive, and the second room has not done anything outrageous. If the family is separated now, it will not be good for Bai Zongzheng's reputation if it is spread.

Outsiders who don't know the inside, Bao Buqi will say that Bai Zongzheng bullied his late father's widow when he got promoted and made a fortune, and drove them out regardless of the life and death of his stepmother and younger brother, which is not tolerated.

Bai Zongzheng can now be regarded as the first rank of the Marquis and Prime Minister, and the most important thing is to cherish his feathers and care about his reputation.

This officialdom is like a battlefield, and those censors are looking for trouble if they have nothing to do. If Bai Zongzheng really proposes to separate the family and kick out the second room, it is unknown how many censors will join him.

Although it doesn't affect anything, but after all, it's annoying, the noise is too much, and the emperor's place is not good.

Bai Mengjin glanced at the people in the second room opposite, seeing Bai Wang's anger, Bai Wu's embarrassment, Bai Zongmin's secrecy, and Bai Xiuyu's jealousy.

Can't help but sigh, this second bedroom looks really worry-free, I have to remind my father to pay more attention to the second bedroom's movements in the future.

There are too many things about Sheng Mi's kindness and Mi's hatred. In the past, Bai Zongzheng didn't care about the second wife, and they had a lot of ambitions.

Now that the housekeeping power has been taken away, and the Bai Wang family has no right to speak in the mansion, I am afraid that the second room will hold a grudge because of this, and it will be bad if something happens again.

Bai Mengjin's face was calm and there was no fluctuation in expression, but Bai Wangshi who was opposite was so angry that he was about to explode.

What's the matter?Is there still a place for her in the White Mansion?

After all, she is also the majestic old lady of the Duke's Mansion, Bai Zongzheng's stepmother, how dare he treat her like this?

Isn't he afraid that the censor will refer to him and say that he is not filial?If the dignified Prime Minister is accused of being unfilial, would he still want to have a future?

Bai Wang couldn't hold back his breath, and opened his mouth to get angry at Bai Zongzheng, but at this moment his arm hurt.

Bai Wangshi opened her mouth to scold someone, but when she looked along her arm, it was her own son who was pinching her.

"Aniang, today is the Hungry Ghost Festival, a big day to worship ancestors, don't delay the time.

Xiao Qi has already returned to the mansion, if mother likes Xiao Qi, she can ask Xiao Qi to go to Ninghui Courtyard to talk at any time in the future, there is no rush at this moment. "Bai Zongmin said while winking at his mother.

"Brother, it's getting late, it's important to worship the ancestors." Bai Zongmin bowed to Bai Zongzheng with an apologetic face.

"Yes, yes, mother, there will be a long time to come, and worshiping the ancestors is a big matter, so we can't delay." The Bai Wu family next to him also smoothed things over.

With this husband and wife coming forward to persuade, what can Bai Wang do?I had no choice but to temporarily suppress the anger in my heart, and snorted at Bai Zongzheng, "Then let's start."

Naturally, Bai Zongzheng didn't want to argue with women like Bai Wang, it was indeed getting late, and the whole family hadn't had breakfast yet.

Hurry up to pay homage to the ancestors, and after breakfast, he still has to go to the political affairs hall, and the government affairs cannot be delayed for a day.

Today is a special case, the emperor gave the courtiers half a day off, and they have to deal with official business later.

"Let's get started." Bai Zongzheng coughed lightly, and the stewards over there hurriedly brought up the things needed to worship the ancestors.

According to the current custom, when worshiping ancestors during the Ghost Festival, new rice, new sauce, undergarments, seasonal fruits, colorful satin, noodle chess, etc. must be used. In addition, cockscombs, also known as hand-washing flowers, must be enshrined in front of the ancestors' spiritual tablets.

As the head of the family, Bai Zongzheng was naturally the one who took the lead, so he stepped forward and lit the incense, and after praying with the incense in his hand, he inserted it into the incense burner.

Bai Liulang, as the grandson of the head of the family, read out the sacrificial text aloud, and after the sacrificial text was read, most of the incense in the furnace burned.

So Bai Zongzheng took the lead and knelt down, and all the members of the Bai family knelt down together, kowtowed to the ancestors, and then they started.

It stands to reason that after the worship, they have to stay here for a while, and then they can leave each other and go back to have breakfast.

Bai Zongzheng led the crowd just to get up, before he could say anything, a servant hurried in from outside.

"Master Xiang, a monk has come outside, saying that he has a predestined relationship with the people in the house and wants to see Master Xiang." The visitor reported.

"The mansion invited monks?" Bai Zongzheng was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't seem to have ordered this matter, did he?

According to the customs of Lin'an City, on the day of the Ghost Festival, dignitaries and dignitaries can invite eminent monks to their homes to preach scriptures, mourn ancestors, and save the dead.

It is said that today Shi Xiang's mansion invited several eminent monks to practice exorcism. Bai Zongzheng didn't want to be talked about, so he didn't invite monks.

He thought that someone in the mansion invited him, so he asked.

Both Lin and Bai Liulang were taken aback for a moment, even Bai Zongmin and his wife were also taken aback, and then shook their heads. "No, we didn't invite you."

It was strange that the monks came uninvited, but since they came to the door, it was naturally not easy to refuse.

In these days, the common people respect the Buddha and the Tao, and they are very tolerant and respectful to the monks. It is a great honor for a monk to come uninvited, how can we take it lightly?

"Come in quickly."
