The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Bai Shihong held onto Bai Zhaozhao, seemingly unable to stand steadily: "Zhaozhao, did you hear that? Such a great man actually said that Brother Lin is extraordinary!"

"Yeah!" Bai Zhaozhao said hurriedly, "I heard it. Cousin Lin must have a bright future!"

That’s right, Zen Master Guiyuan said this to Bai Lin. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Bai Zhaozhao inadvertently, and then exchanged a few words with Prefect Zhong, saying that he was just passing by your house and was about to leave.

Prefect Zhong did not dare to keep the Zen master and politely sent him away.

For a time, Bai Lin once again received a lot of attention.

Bai Zhaozhao immediately looked at Cheng Jiayu, and sure enough, after losing such a great opportunity, a ball of purple air flew away!

Cheng Jiayu herself became increasingly irritated, as if this shouldn't be the case. Why was it like this? Why could Bai Lin receive such high praise, while she, who had a system, couldn't!

Is it just because of the position of Jie Yuan?

No, Bai Lin has a bright future, which only means that Bai Zhaozhao's status will also rise, and it will be even harder to get her in the future!

It seems that he has to go to the capital to try his luck no matter what!

After the Lu Ming Banquet, each candidate received two taels of silver for a candidate archway. When Bai Zhaozhao and others returned to the Bai Mansion, the head of the Bai clan even prepared the carriage, and the family set off immediately.

We have to hurry up. In just half a day, several groups of people have come to Uncle Bai's house to inquire about the marriage situation.

Zhong Mansion.

Mrs. Zhong paced back and forth, a little anxious.

After a maid hurried into the room, Mrs. Zhong immediately asked, "How is it, is the master back?"

"He's back, he's back!" the old woman said quickly, "The master gave Bai Jieyuan a name at the Lu Ming Banquet!"

"He has chosen a name!" Mrs. Zhong frowned. Does this mean that the master has chosen the Bai family?

After the results were announced yesterday, Lord Zhong told her that he wanted to choose two ordinary families to train as his future helpers. He had his eyes on the Zhang family and the Bai family, and the best way was to form an alliance through marriage, so he wanted to marry the second son, Zhong Jingfeng, to a daughter of the Zhang family or the Bai family.

Mrs. Zhong was very shocked when she heard this. Someone had indeed spread rumors before that she wanted to choose a daughter-in-law from the noble ladies in Linyang County, but she had already debunked the rumors!

She comes from a prestigious Duke's Mansion, and the Zhong family is a centuries-old family. Why should his son marry someone of such a low status!

But Lord Zhong told her that because his teacher was the Grand Tutor and his father was a cabinet minister, the Zhong family was now a truly powerful family. When the fire was boiling, the most taboo thing was to expand by marrying everywhere!

As long as their eldest son has a clan wife of high status in the future, the other sons of the Zhong family can marry women of lower status. What's more, the two families he chose can be supported and will definitely be closely connected in the future, so the status of their daughters-in-law will naturally rise.

The most important thing is, as long as the Zhang and Bai families can rise, he will have new wings when he returns to the court in the future, and it will be much easier to run the business. When his father retires, he will be able to smoothly take over the position in the cabinet, so as to continue the prosperity of the Zhong family.

After Mrs. Zhong understood what was going on, she sent people to investigate the situation of the Zhang and Bai families overnight. It was obvious that the Zhang family was much better than the Bai family. If she really had to choose, she would definitely choose the Zhang family!

What is the Bai family? There is only one sixth-rank official and one champion!

But the master actually gave Bai Jieyuan a name today!

The old woman took a breath and said, "Madam, you don't know that a big thing happened today!"

Mrs. Zhong looked surprised: "What's the big deal?"

"Master Guiyuan is here! He even praised Bai Jieyuan, saying that he is extraordinary!"

"Ah!" Mrs. Zhong was stunned. "You mean, Master Guiyuan predicted that Bai Jieyuan would be extraordinary?"

"That's right! Madam, everyone was silent at that time, even the master didn't dare to speak."

"This..." Mrs. Zhong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Go and find out for me if there are any girls of marriageable age in Bai Jieyuan's family or among his relatives?"

"Yes, old slave, go now!"

At the same time, Lord Zhong and his two sons were talking in the study.

"Bai Zhaozhao?" Lord Zhong asked, "Are you saying that she is an orphan from the Bai family's side branch?"

"Yes, father." Zhong Jingchen explained, "I would not mention ordinary side branches, but this orphan girl is special. I said she is the most suitable because the Baiji Workshop's golden wound medicine is her formula. She alone accounts for 10% of Baiji's profits, and the entire Bai family has become rich because of Baiji Workshop, so Bai Zhaozhao is the Bai family's great treasure."

Zhong Jingfeng was afraid that his father had made up his mind, so he quickly asked, "What about Bai Jieyuan's family?"

Zhong Jingchen said slowly: "The Bai family has three direct branches. Bai Jieyuan is from the third branch. He is an only child. He does have a second uncle who is said to be an eighth-rank official in Hexi County. He has two sons and one daughter, but the girl is only ten years old this year.

Then there are the people in the fourth house. The people in this house are mainly engaged in business, and they are considered merchants. There are two unmarried women, but they are not a good match. "

Zhong Jingfeng asked again: "What about Bai Jingli's room?"

"Bai Jingli is from the sixth branch of the family. His father is the patriarch of the Bai clan. The patriarch has three sons. The eldest is in charge of the clan's land and school, while the second is in charge of the Baiji workshop. Their children are all married.

As for the third son, Lord Bai, he also had only one son, who ranked last in the provincial examination.

So if we really want to form an alliance with the Bai family, we can either marry Bai Zhaozhao or marry a daughter of the Zhong family to Bai Jieyuan, but my father doesn't have a legitimate daughter, and a concubine's daughter is obviously not worthy of the current Bai Jieyuan."

After saying that, Zhong Jingchen paused again. He smiled and asked Zhong Jingfeng, "I still have some impression of Bai Zhaozhao. She is not only beautiful, but also very smart. She amazed everyone at the lotus viewing banquet! Why do you seem reluctant?"

After hearing this, Lord Zhong also became interested: "So you have all seen this Miss Bai? Jingfeng, what do you think of her?"

Zhong Jingfeng sighed and said truthfully: "Father, this Miss Bai is naturally excellent. She is not only proficient in medicine, but also good at observation. She told me that it might rain during the provincial examination, so she asked Jishiditang to prepare typhoid medicine."

"Oh?" Lord Zhong became interested. "So this woman is outstanding in appearance and character. Why are you dissatisfied?"

"Uh..." Zhong Jingfeng said with a bitter smile, "Actually, before Cousin He left, he asked me to take good care of Miss Bai!"

Lord Zhong and Zhong Jingchen were both stunned. They really didn't expect this answer.

Zhong Jingchen pressed on: "You mean, Cousin He is interested in her?"

Zhong Jingfeng had a blank expression on his face: "I didn't say that, but if you really want to choose her, you must tell cousin He first."

"..."

Master Zhong was silent for a while, and could only sigh and say, "Let's wait and see, this matter is not urgent."

Zhong Jingchen also said: "In fact, my father and I were optimistic about the Zhang family from the beginning. The eldest daughter, Zhang Ruolan, is kind-hearted, good-looking and has good character. She is qualified to be a good match for you.

Our concubine sister and Bai Jieyuan are a perfect match, but Zen Master Guiyuan happened to make such a prophecy today..."
