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

At this time, a servant's voice came from outside the door: "Master, the lady is here and said she has something important to tell you."

"Oh?" Lord Zhong said hurriedly, "Please ask Madam to come in."

Mrs. Zhong came in and asked directly, "Does the master intend to marry into the Bai family?"

"Yes, but I need to think about it again. What do you think, Madam?"

"No, there is currently no suitable woman in the Bai family's direct branch. Bai Zhaozhao was originally a good choice, but now she is absolutely not possible." Mrs. Zhong said in a deep voice.

"Why?"

"Master, I just received a message from Princess An, please take a look!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Zhong handed Lord Zhong a letter.

Lord Zhong took the letter in surprise. How did it involve Prince An's wife?

The letter was very concise. The main point was that the princess liked Bai Zhaozhao very much and wanted to trouble Madam Zhong to take good care of her in Linyang County.

The Zhong Jingchen brothers were also surprised. What was going on?

Mr. Zhong smiled and said, "It seems that Chen'er is right. This Miss Bai is a great treasure. In this case, I will trouble Madam to go and find out what the Zhang family is saying."

Mrs. Zhong nodded: "Okay."

half a month later.

Bai Zhaozhao deeply understood what it means when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit.

The first thing they did was to worship their ancestors. Hundreds of Bai clan members came in a grand ceremony, cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle to worship their ancestors. They also solemnly took out the family tree, which recorded that Bai Lin and two other people passed the imperial examinations and became Juren on a certain day of a certain year.

What followed was a three-day banquet, all paid for by the three legitimate families, especially the people from the fourth house. They had been doing business for many years and now had a backer, so things would definitely be much smoother in the future.

The last step was to erect the memorial archway. The Bai family had three memorial archways, and the blueprints needed to be revised more than a dozen times just to hire craftsmen to draw them. Patriarch Bai simply and domineeringly used the clan's surplus money, and no one objected.

Only after finishing these things did the Bai family calm down, but what followed was the attempt to make friends with local gentry from all sides and inquire about their marriage plans.

Many of the Bai family's children have found good marriages.

It is worth mentioning that the magistrate of Hexi County came personally to congratulate and said that he was about to leave office and had already reported to the prefect, hoping that Bai Lin’s second uncle would take over the position of county magistrate. As long as the prefect agrees, I believe there will be a transfer order soon.

Lord Zhong is very likely to agree to this transfer order, which means that the second uncle of the third room will soon become a seventh-rank county magistrate.

In addition, the Baiji Workshop has expanded a lot, and the clan has enough money. In addition to using it for clan schools and clan land, each Bai clan member can also receive a subsidy every month.

Every household in the surrounding villages has someone working in Baiji Workshop. Many people build houses when their lives get better. Not to mention anything else, the number of houses in Hexi Village alone has doubled, and it has become a real big village.

The villagers' purchasing power has increased a lot, there are more and more peddlers and stalls, and even several ox carts travel to and from the town every day. Now everyone is discussing repairing several roads.

Bai Zhaozhao thought, maybe this is the meaning of economic development! A workshop can revitalize several villages, and the basic needs of the people are just so ordinary.

So Bai Zhaozhao found the second son of the Bai clan leader.

"Ten thousand taels?" Uncle Bai was so shocked that he spilled his tea. "Zhao Zhao, say it again!"

"I said, I want to ask my uncle to use this ten thousand taels of silver to expand workshops in several surrounding villages."

"But I have already built it in the city..."

Bai Zhaozhao nodded and said, "I know, but the capital city is fine. This village is the root of our Bai family!"

Uncle Bai just walked into the house and heard this: "Yes, Zhao Zhao is right, everyone in this village is ours, we must protect them well."

Bai Erbo laughed at him: "You know what Zhao Zhao said and you just agreed with it?"

Uncle Bai smiled and said he didn't care, but when he found out that Bai Zhaozhao took out 10,000 taels, he was completely stunned: "Zhaozhao, you are so rich!"

Bai Zhaozhao could only whisper, "I won it by betting that Brother Bai Lin would win the first prize."

Uncle Bai took a deep breath and pointed at Bai Zhaozhao with a trembling hand: "You...you actually placed a bet!"

Uncle Bai was also surprised, but he still said, "Don't worry, Third Brother. Zhao Zhao is still young and doesn't understand..."

"You didn't even take me with you!" Uncle Bai said distressedly.

Bai Zhaozhao said helplessly: "If I take you with me, you don't have any money!"

Uncle Bai: ...

Uncle Bai: ...

At this time, Chief Bai and Bai Shihong also walked in.

Chief Bai said to Bai Zhaozhao with a smile: "Zhaozhao, you are not a child anymore, and you are so capable. I should discuss something with you."

Bai Zhaozhao was stunned: "Sixth Grandpa, if you have something to say, just tell me directly."

Chief Bai said slowly, "It's like this. Your grandfather came to me before he died. He said that if you have no one to rely on after you reach adulthood, you should be adopted into my family and I will at least give you food to eat.

Who knew you were so capable, so you were naturally not helpless, so I thought of waiting until you came of age, and then discussing with you whether you were willing to be adopted by my eldest son.

Now that Bai Linzhong has met Jie Yuan, he will go to the capital with you. If you are still an orphan and go to the princess to recognize your relatives, it may not be appropriate, so I thought of adopting you to Shihong. Then you can go to the palace as Jie Yuan's biological sister, which will be more decent. "

"Yes, Zhaozhao." Bai Shihong said, "The other thing is your marriage. If you are still an orphan, the princess can make the decision alone. If you are the sister of Jie Yuan, even if the princess wants to make the decision, she must inform the Bai family and leave some room for you."

Bai Zhaozhao understood. It turned out that her grandfather had thought very carefully about her, but in the original plot, she had wasted all this kindness.

Before Bai Zhaozhao could answer, Third Uncle Bai said sourly, "She has been with me for the longest time, but she ended up being my cousin's child. I don't accept that. Even if she is adopted by me, isn't she still Bai Lin's sister?"

Bai Shihong said with pride: "You can't say that, my sister-in-law is already pregnant, so maybe Bai Hao will have a sister. My family is different, after giving birth to Bai Lin, his mother has been in poor health and can no longer have children!

So after having a daughter like Zhao Zhao, I will love her with all my heart and prepare a lot of dowry for her!"

Bai Zhaozhao asked: "So are our family of four going to the capital together?"

A family of four?

Bai Shihong said happily: "Yes, yes, our family of four will go together! Hahaha!"

Uncle Bai was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "What about me?"

Bai Zhaozhao blinked and smiled, "Of course I'll stay with Third Aunt. She's in a heavy body and can't be left alone. But you can let cousin Hao go with her!"

Uncle Bai asked in confusion: "What is he going to do?"

"Participate in the Spring Examination!" Bai Zhaozhao said jokingly, "What if I pass the exam and become a Jinshi?"

Uncle Bai looked strange: "Him? He passed the imperial examination? Haha, unless he cheated!"

"Nonsense!" Bai Shihong scolded, "The fact that he passed the imperial examination shows that he has potential. What's wrong with trying?"
