Chapter 30 The Ancestors of the Bai Family

No matter what dignitaries and dignitaries come to strike up a conversation, Bai Gui is always indifferent, polite, but full of distance.Only when Chen Zhaomei appeared, Bai Gui's smile became warmer.This made the ladies next to me both surprised and jealous.

A tall woman glanced at Chen Zhaomei and said, "I am the second daughter of Qinhou's family, Pan Di. Did you ask for advice?"

Most of the people here are nobles who communicate with each other. Seeing Chen Zhaomei's unfamiliar face, they asked more questions.Chen Zhaomei replied: "My mother is Qi Guogong, and I am the 27th sister."

Everyone was a little surprised: "When did Qi add a princess?"

Chen Zhaomei didn't answer in detail, but after a few pleasantries, she slipped to a secluded corner of the garden with Bai Gui.They were standing under a tree. The trunk was white and exuded a faint fragrance. Chen Zhaomei felt that this fragrance was a bit like that of Bai Gui, so he couldn't help sniffing, and said, "This tree smells so good."

Bai Gui said, "This is the holy sandalwood tree."

"Zhantan..." Chen Zhaomei asked, "Is Zhantan a spice like white sandalwood?"

"Yes." Bai Gui replied, "The first ancestor of the Bai family was named Bai Tanqing." Then, Bai Gui looked at the tree with soft eyes, and introduced: "This tree was specially designed by Bai Tanqing A tribute to the thousand-day saint who was in power at that time."

Chen Zhaomei asked in surprise, "Then isn't this tree a thousand years old?"

Bai Rose nodded and replied: "This tree is the first Sanzanzania tree in the world."

"The first one?" Chen Zhaomei looked up at this towering tree, feeling a little more in awe.

Bai Gui said again: "The Tamara sandalwood tree that grows in Winter City will die once it leaves the valley. In order to research a variant sandalwood tree that can grow in the temple garden, Bai Tanqing took great pains. After 50 years of hard work, the ancestors came This kind of sandalwood tree was cultivated, named the holy sandalwood tree, and sent here for the appreciation of the thousand-day saint, so as to express my heart for the thousand-day saint."

"The feelings towards the saint... your ancestors loved the saint?" Chen Zhaomei froze for a moment, "your ancestors...were lesbians?"

Bai Gui chuckled, "My family's ancestor was a man."

Chen Zhaomei was shocked.

But this also seems to explain why the Bai family is one of the few families willing to include men in the genealogy.

Realizing that she had made such a big oolong, Chen Zhaomei said very embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm really rude..."

"It's nothing." Bai Gui shook her head nonchalantly, "The Bai family will not announce that our ancestors are men on most occasions. In official records and various activities, when talking about ancestors, they usually refer to Bai Xianglan. She is woman."

"Who is Bai Xianglan?" Chen Zhaomei asked.

"She is Bai Tanqing's only daughter." Bai Gui replied slowly, "Although Bai Tanqing was the first creature born under the Tamara Sandalwood tree, Bai Xianglan was the one who established the Winter City family, multiplied and benefited one side. A legendary figure. Therefore, it is not surprising that our family recognizes her as the official ancestor."

Chen Zhaomei nodded, but he always felt that Bai Xianglan was recognized largely because of her gender.

The descendants of the Bai family probably felt that it was unseemly to recognize a loving-minded man as an ancestor, so they enshrined female ancestors.

The Thousand-day Saintess once prayed under the Tamara Sandalwood tree, and Bai Tanqing, who was still ignorant of life at the time, fell in love with her at first sight.After she left, Bai Tanqing practiced hard, and finally cultivated a human body, researched the holy sandalwood tree and dedicated it to the thousand-day saint.Although the Holy Maiden of Thousand Days accepted his holy tree, she rejected his love and asked him to return to Dongcheng Town to guard the lost valley full of Manju roses.

Bai Tanqing returned to Winterfell according to the order of the Thousand Days Saintess, but he couldn't forget her all day long. In front of her, kneeling at her feet, begging her to give her the meaning of life.

The compassionate Saintess of Thousand Days gave birth to a daughter for him.When the girl was born, the orchid outside the window bloomed, and she was born with a unique fragrance, so she was named Pandan.

The Holy Maiden of Thousand Days generously let Xianglan take her father's surname, and asked Bai Tanqing to bring her daughter back to Winter City.

Bai Tanqing, a man with a child in Winter City, guarded the Valley of Misfortune for a lifetime according to the oracle of the Holy Maiden of Thousand Days.At the end of his life, Bai Tanqing asked Xianglan to send his bones to the Holy Palace to make fertilizer for the holy sandalwood tree.

After hearing this story, Chen Zhaomei looked at the tree with more complicated eyes, and said, "So, this saint of a thousand days obviously doesn't like Bai Tanqing, but she actually gave birth to Bai Tanqing, and is willing to give the child a man's surname?"

This is a great philanthropist in the feminist society!And the saint!This is simply the Holy Mother!

Bai Gui explained: "The saint has the blood of the Creator God. As long as she wants to, it is easy to have a child. She does not need to conceive in October. If it is fast, it will be overnight, and if it is slow, it will be four or five months. She can give birth once. "

Chen Zhaomei was even more surprised: No wonder the big families here have so many children.It turns out that Wuxing women can give birth painlessly, and even order on the same day and have it delivered the next day!

Bai Gui said again: "The Holy Maiden of Thousand Days likes to have children, and sometimes she deliberately gives birth to multiple births. She has recorded almost a hundred children. There are countless unrecorded illegitimate children. If everyone They all have to be surnamed Saint, and the Saintess of Thousand Days is probably not willing."

"...One hundred children..." Chen Zhaomei said in a low voice, "How many fathers are there?"

Bai Gui said: "I'm afraid even the Holy Maiden of Thousand Days can't remember this clearly."

Chen Zhaomei: Who doesn't say awesome after hearing this?

Thinking of this, Chen Zhaomei couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Bai Tanqing, it seems that he really has no place in the heart of the Holy Maiden of Thousand Days.

Chen Zhaomei asked again: "Then Bai Tanqing's bones are here?" He looked down at the roots of the big tree.

"The Holy Maiden of Thousand Days has too many children. Even if she only allows a small number of children to inherit her surname, the competition for the succession is extremely bloody and fierce." Bai Gui told in a calm tone what happened in this area thousands of years ago. Stories from the soil, "There are simply not enough places to bury the bones."

After learning the lessons of the Holy Maiden of Thousand Days, the later saints all choose eugenics, and do not have so many births.

Xianglan brought her father's bones to the Holy Palace, when the battle for the succession of the Holy Palace had already started.Seeing Xianglan as an unexpected guest, the daughters of the prostitutes also knew that she also had the blood of a saint, and suspected that she was also here to seize the prostitute, so naturally they didn't like her.What's more, they directly humiliated Xianglan face to face, saying that she, a bastard living outside, dared to set foot in the Holy Palace, she had no shame at all.

Xianglan was furious when she heard the words, and split open Bai Tanqing's sealed coffin.However, Bai Tanqing's body had been turned into a piece of dead Tamara sandalwood.Using the dead wood as a sword, Xianglan fought bloody 26 prostitutes of the holy clan, entered the central garden, buried the dead wood under the holy sandalwood tree, and then walked away.

After returning to Winter City, Xianglan builds a city-state, recruits talents, protects the people, becomes a hero, and single-handedly builds the Bai family's millennium foundation.

The descendants of the Bai family also recognized Xianglan as their ancestor.

After hearing the origin story of the Bai family, Chen Zhaomei was filled with emotions, and asked curiously for a while, "Bai Tanqing, a gentle man, actually gave birth to such a strong daughter!"

"Bai Tanqing is the tree spirit of Tamara Zhan, who gathers the essence of heaven and earth, and his spiritual power is immeasurable." Bai Gui replied, "If he is not a strong person, the Thousand Sun Saintess would not entrust such an important task of guarding Migu Give it to him. If Xianglan didn't have Bai Tanqing's bones as a weapon, she wouldn't be able to break into the Holy Palace."

Chen Zhaomei was stunned: "Bai Tanqing is so powerful, why doesn't she want to be a hero?"

Bai Gui said: "Heroes are women's business. No matter how strong Bai Tanqing is, he is still just a man. How can he survive without love?"

"..." Chen Zhaomei, the earth boy, couldn't answer these words.

Chen Zhaomei remembered that she was bored at the station, so she watched dramas to pass the time.Considering that he is an earthly man, he chose dramas under the category of "big hero".The male protagonists in these novels are all dragons and phoenixes among human beings, either the beloved son of the eldest prince, or the last phoenix in the world, and their cultivation is like a rocket. The hero is stronger.Whenever the male protagonist enters a critical moment, it is the female protagonist who falls from the sky and saves him.

At the end, the one who dominates is the heroine, and the so-called "big hero" is happily being a queen, queen, queen...

After watching three or four popular dramas, Chen Zhaomei was speechless: maybe this is the cultural difference.

Chen Zhaomei looked at Bai Gui in front of her carefully, and asked for a while, "What about you? Do you also want to be a good husband despite your talent?"

Bai Gui replied, "I am a man."

Chen Zhaomei couldn't analyze the meaning of this sentence, but just looked at Bai Gui's face carefully.Under the shade of the holy sandalwood tree, Baigui's face is blurred, but her tall and straight figure still shows the demeanor of a family member.

At this moment, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, as if they were suddenly covered by a thick quilt and could not make a sound.

Chen Zhaomei looked curiously not far away.

It turned out that the saint appeared.

At that time, the saint was wearing a luxurious and heavy dark purple robe and a phoenix crown on her head, walking with a solemn face.Behind her were two maidservants.The maid also had a solemn face, wearing a high-grade cassock that ordinary daughters-in-law could not afford, and jewels that even a good mistress could not afford.

Chen Zhaomei was speechless inwardly: "It's really impressive."

Everyone's eyes lingered on the saint, but they didn't dare to look directly at the saint's face for a long time.Chen Zhaomei was different. He had no sense of awe after all, and looked at the face of the saint curiously.The saint's eyebrows are also curved, her eyes are also curved, and there are dimples at the corners of her mouth, she looks like a sweet girl.Therefore, she is wearing the most mature attire, still naturally exuding a sense of girlhood in line with her age and experience.

The saint also noticed Chen Zhaomei's gaze. She walked towards Chen Zhaomei and said, "I've never seen you."

The voice of the saint is also very sweet, like honey.

Chen Zhaomei took out her business card and showed it to the saint.

The saint took a look at the business card and said, "Are you a princess?"

Chen Zhaomei nodded: "Yes."

The saint looked at Bai Gui again, blinked her eyes: "You are Bai Gui." A very positive statement.

Bai Gui bowed slightly to the saint: "Yes, I am Bai Gui. I didn't expect His Highness to recognize me in such a humble body."

Chen Zhaomei also found it strange that Bai Gui didn't go out, and hadn't been anywhere except home and the Institute of Men's Morality.How did the saint know him?

The saint grinned, "I recognize the fragrance of Domara Sandalwood."

Chen Zhao's brows became clear: Indeed, Bai Gui's smell is too special.As the only surviving son of the Bai family in the world, he is also the only person in the world who has this kind of fragrance.

However, the smell of white roses is very faint, and you can't smell it unless you sniff it closely.

——Chen Zhaomei still doesn't quite understand.

Bai Gui also said: "The saint sees people in a subtle way, I admire you."

The saint said: "This smell is very prominent to me." It seemed to explain the doubts in Chen Zhaomei's heart.

As she spoke, the saint turned her head and said to the maid who followed her, "Give him a flower."

At the banquet, if a woman takes a fancy to a man, she will give him flowers to show her heart.

Every woman who comes here will bring a sufficient amount of peony and the only peony.Sending peonies means that you want to marry the other party as a husband. If you send peony, it is like accepting him as a young man.According to the regulations, the noble saint cannot have a husband, so she can only send peony.

However, although the Holy Maiden cannot marry anyone, there will always be a "God Attendant" in the Holy Palace.The god servant is the head of all the male servants in the Holy Palace, and he is the same as the assistant husband, and is a very prestigious role.

As a convention, the servant of the gods is the first person to get the holy maiden peony.

Therefore, when the maid took out the peony, the voices of the audience froze, as if all eyes were focused on Bai Gui's face.

The white rose once again became the focus of this social occasion.

The men were amazed:

Didn't expect Bai Gui to be favored by the saint without doing anything?

Are you beautiful? !

The same goes for women:

Didn't expect the saint to get such a beauty as Bai Gui without doing anything?

Are descendants of gods amazing? !

Chen Zhaomei, who was standing beside Bai Gui, was also shocked, and then became uneasy, watching the maid take out a peony from the basket and hand it to Bai Gui.

Seeing that Bai Gui was about to take it, Chen Zhaomei didn't care too much, and suddenly pulled out a gorgeous peony from his sleeve, and put it on Bai Gui's hair without authorization.

Bai Gui was probably really a boudoir boy, lacking in exercise and agility, as if he hadn't reacted and couldn't avoid it, so he was put on a peony.

I heard that in ancient times on the earth, men also wore hairpins.Chen Zhaomei had never seen it before, but when she saw the white rose hairpin today, she felt that the man's hairpin was pretty good, very pretty.

The white peony is gorgeous and not vulgar, and it is very moving when reflected in the white rose ears.

At this time, the four seats were in an uproar.

Forcibly inserting flowers on other people's heads like this is almost like a man on earth rushing to put a diamond ring on any woman he likes. It's really rude.

Chen Zhaomei didn't dare to think about Bai Gui's reaction now.

The maid's hand holding the peony also stopped, with a look of reproach on her face, as if she felt that Chen Zhaomei was very ignorant of the rules.

Of course, everyone was very surprised: would any woman dare to compete with the saint for a man?Is this eating the bear heart and leopard gall?

Now no one cares about socializing, and their eyes and minds are all focused on this triangle drama.

The saint also showed surprise, her eyes lingered between Chen Zhaomei and Bai Gui, as if she was exploring the relationship between the two of them.

Chen Zhaomei also knew that her behavior was inappropriate, so she bowed slightly and apologized: "Yes... I was reckless."

Bai Rose didn't speak.

Chen Zhaomei stared at Bai Gui: "I just..."

The maid couldn't help but said: "It seems that Mr. Bai and Princess Mei have known each other for a long time?"

Chen Zhaomei nodded.

The saint blinked her almond eyes, and said softly in her sweet girlish voice, "So, are you two in love?"

This question was straightforward, and Chen Zhaomei was a little shy, staring blankly at the saint, but did not dare to look at Bai Gui.

But he could vaguely feel that Bai Gui's gaze was as light as a spider's silk but firmly stuck to his face.
