Chapter 940
Bai Heran also found it funny. He didn't want to talk to Hong about this matter, but when he saw Bai Haoxuan's red face, he thought it was really fun, so he joined in the fun and said, "Aunt Hong is right at all. Xuan'er, you are really too naughty, and you have lost a lot of your studies. I will teach you pharmacology and medicine, but I didn't say that because of this, you won't let you go to school. You must be concerned about this matter. You can neither let me explain it in front of Aunt Hong, nor can you delay your future marriage by yourself."
"Oh, second sister, why do you say this like your mother! We have agreed that all the rules are in accordance with Tianci Town. Women need to be eighteen to get married, men need to be twenty to get married. I am less than ten years old, so it's still early!"
Bai Heran retorted: "I don't let you get married early, but you don't let go of early engagement. If you don't study hard, you can't even book a good marriage, let alone a good marriage. Anyway, according to what your mother said, you should focus on your studies in the first month of the year. I don't think you should hire a teacher. Xuan'er, you should go to school at your age. Let's do this. After the Lantern Festival, I will send your 10th prince to the Imperial College to study. Regardless of whether it is this material or not, you will study hard for a few years before talking about it."
Bai Haoxuan was stunned when he heard this, "Go to the Imperial College? That's Tianjia School. Although I can't go there, I really don't plan to take the scientific exam, and I don't want to make a big lottery in my studies. Do we need to be so grand? Otherwise, I'll ask a teacher to teach at home. I promise not to miss my studies. I'm sorry, I really don't plan to take the science exam. I just want to study medicine well. You think it's all for me to realize my dream. OK? Don't force me."
Hong was also afraid that Bai Heran would be serious, so she quickly said, "Yes, yes, I also looked at this child's face, so I just said casually, A Ran, don't take it to heart. I can really accept him studying medicine with you than going to school for a scientific exam, because when I think of the court, I... Oh, you know, I'm afraid of the careers in the court over the years."
Bai Heran could understand the Hong family and married Bai Xingyan. As a result, Bai Xingyan took the Ye family bus without hesitation in order to have a smooth career. Some of the sufferings suffered by their family over the years were on the surface, and some were able to live behind their backs, and no one could live a difficult life.
So she smiled, "I am also teasing Xuan'er. Xuan'er has some prospects in medical skills, and I can't bear to leave this apprentice. But Aunt Hong also reminded me that I should not let Xuan'er waste his studies too much. Let's do this. After the first month of the year, I will ask a good teacher to teach him how to study. I will arrange these things, and Aunt Hong will be assured."
Hong nodded, "Aran, I'm not sure if you do things. This child was originally handed over to you, so you can do whatever you say."
They were talking happily, but the old lady didn't understand something, so she took advantage of the time when the two of them spoke quickly: "A Ran, what are you saying? A woman in Tianci Town got married only after 18, and a man got married only after 20? What is this rule? Will it be too late? Wouldn't she become an old girl at the age of eighteen? Generally speaking, 20-year-old men are old and have big children, and those with wealthy families have taken concubines, and even two or three children. Will this rule in Tianci Town drag people down?"
Bai Heran knew that this rule was not so easy to accept, especially those who were older. But she was not worried about the people in Tianci Town. After all, she had the final say here, and the people in the town knew that no matter what decision she made, the lord of the fiefdom, was for their own good. As for other idle people, she didn't care whether she accepted it or not, it had nothing to do with those people anyway.
But since the old lady asked, she had the obligation to explain carefully.
Just as the group walked into the front hall and sat down one by one. The servants also served tea and fruits. Bai Heran pulled the old lady to the main seat and sat down. He then moved a chair to her hands and cleared his throat. Then he said, "Speaking of all, this rule was also proposed recently and has not been announced in the town. But since I thought about it, it must be implemented. My grandmother said that she believed in my medical skills before, so I told my grandmother that the reason for setting such a marriage age was also considered from the perspective of medicine. Whether boys or girls, teenagers are in the growth and development period of the body. At this stage, the organs and functions of the body have not matured completely. Getting married too early will not be of any benefit to both men and women, and may even damage the body."
She said as she looked at Bai Tongjian, "Actually, I wanted to tell my cousin this truth several times, but I didn't know about my cousin's marriage in advance, so I lost this opportunity. Now both of you have already discussed the marriage and put it on the agenda. If I say more, it will be bad. But I still want to advise my cousin, "It's okay to get married, but if you want a child, it's better to wait a few years." You are just in the forefront, and you are still a child, how can you raise another child? Besides, the child is born too early, which is not good for your health. I am your own sister, and the third uncle is also close to the tenth prince, so I won't harm you."
Bai Tongjian was the most convinced Bai Heran, and he couldn't help but regret it after hearing what she said. "If you told me earlier, I wouldn't have let the family discuss the marriage so early. But I remember the child's matter, I..." She wanted to say it down, but when she thought about her second uncle sitting in the room, she felt embarrassed to continue talking and told Bai Heran, "I'll talk to you later."
Bai Heran also laughed, and at the same time he quickly followed Guan Shi: "Aunt San, don't blame me. I won't stop my cousin from getting married now. At worst, I can give her a few pairs of medicine to regulate her body. I must take care of my own cousin, don't worry, Aunt San."
Bai Tongjian blushed again, "Oh, Aran, don't say anything more."
People laughed when they saw it, but the old lady still couldn't figure out the way. The woman was eighteen and the man was twenty. The rules for marriage were too outrageous. What can the people in the town do? What if they don't do this, what can they do if they unite to create her granddaughter?
Because the Bai family came out early, and it was still an hour before lunch, Bai Heran suggested that everyone go around the mansion, or rest in the living yard if they were tired. As a result, no one wanted to rest, and they all wanted to visit the princess's mansion.
Bai Haofeng and Bai Haoxuan volunteered to be guides, which made the second master Bai Xingwu laugh and kept praising Bai Haofeng: "You guy is much more happy. When I saw my second uncle, I always stood far away when I saw him. Now I can speak actively and I have to be guides for us. Yes, I am like a young man. Don't be so angry all day long, how old are you."
Although Bai Haofeng had only lived in the Princess' Mansion for two or three days, through contact with Bai Heran and Bai Haoxuan in the past two or three days, he had simply opened the door to a new world. So now, not only is he much happier than before, but he has also restored the nature that a young man should have. He should play and make trouble, and has lost some of his matureness and more innocent.
"Uncle II is right. Feng'er was too stuffy before, so I won't know how to do it in the future. Uncle II, come with me, I'll take you to see this princess mansion. This mansion is so beautiful. Every grass and every tree are designed by my future brother-in-law. There is also a small pond in the back house. It's all frozen into ice in winter. Xuan'er and I are sliding on it, which is very fun."
While talking, he went to pick Bai Xingwu. Bai Xingwu was so happy to be crazy with the children, so he turned around and said to Tan: "I'll go for a walk with the children, you can talk to your sisters-in-law!" After that, he said hello to Bai Heran: "Aran, I'll have two drinks with my second uncle in a while! Today is a New Year's Eve dinner, it's not okay if you don't drink."
Bai Heran also smiled, "Don't worry, Second Uncle, Aran will definitely accompany her second uncle today, just because she is afraid that Second Uncle won't be able to drink me."
"How is it possible? Little girl movies, wait, I will see Zhang'er while eating!" The words became farther and farther away, and soon the person was pulled and turned around by Bai Haofeng, and there was no sign of it.
Tan shook his head helplessly, "You are so old, you still look like a child. You said you can drink something with your niece!" After saying that, he turned around and asked Bai Heran, "What small pond that Feng'er mentioned is that can skate, is the water deep? Is it so cold? It's cold in winter, but it's very dangerous if it doesn't freeze."
Bai Heran quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, the small pond is frozen very firmly, not to mention that even if it is not firm, there is no danger, because the water ice in the pond melts and reaches its ankle, and it is put on the shallow frozen for the children to skate."
When Tan heard this, he felt relieved and said, "It's still A Ran, you are considerate."
Bai Heran smiled, "I am not considerate, there is a good butler in my mansion, but he is considerate." After saying that, he looked at Hong again, "My princess's mansion has received a lot of favors from the Hong family. The maids brought by Aunt Hong have asked me to borrow great strength. If it weren't for their help, my mansion wouldn't have been supported so quickly."
Hong waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm not relieved! It's because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are piles of things on the other side of the Duke's Mansion. Otherwise, I'll definitely come to help you for a few days. Well, you sit with the old lady for a while. I heard that Wang'er is here, take the old lady to see! I've been here before and I'm familiar with this princess's mansion. I'll take your second aunt and third aunt around." After that, he asked Bai Zhenzhen, "Are you going with me or staying with your second sister?"
Bai Zhenzhen took Bai Heran's arm, "Of course I'm accompanying my second sister. I've been here too. I've seen everything I should see. You guys go!" After that, he waved his hand, "I remember to go back to the flower hall for lunch later. I heard that the meat must be very fragrant if I kill the pig. I decided to take some back after eating and eat it as a midnight snack in the evening."
