The next day, Xiang Nan and Bai Xiuzhu got up early and went to pay their respects to their father and mother.
"How about it? Do you want to make a pair of shoes to thank Duke Zhou?" Xiang Nan asked quietly.
"I hate you." Bai Xiuzhu said with a blush.
Xiang Nan laughed.
"Yan Xi, you are now married and can be considered an adult. From now on, you must act like an adult and be more diligent, responsible and hardworking." Jin Quan taught him a lesson.
“Yes, father.” Xiang Nan nodded.
"Xiuzhu, if you marry into our Jin family, you will be one of our own from now on." Mrs. Jin said to Bai Xiuzhu, "You also know the situation of our family. There are not so many rules and regulations. As long as the family is harmonious and beautiful, everything will be happy soon." Happiness is better than anything else.
?If you are wronged in the future, you must tell me. If Yan Xi does something wrong, I will help you teach him a lesson. "
“Yes, Mom.” Bai Xiuzhu nodded.
After meeting their parents, Xiang Nan and Bai Xiuzhu had dinner with Jin Quan and Mrs. Jin.
??The Jin family has a small dining table. You can just tell the kitchen what you want to eat. What and where you eat is also voluntary.
Earlier, Jin Yanxi could not sleep at night and could not get up during the day. I was tired from playing at night and came home late, so I often slept until the afternoon.
After Xiang Nan crossed over, his schedule became more regular. Go to bed early and get up early, and often have meals with your parents. Although he is married now, he still wants to stick to the old routine.
…
After dinner, the two went back to their room to take stock of the gains from their marriage.
The Bai family has been doing business for generations, and it was only in Bai Xiongqi’s generation that they began to engage in politics, so the family wealth is said to be greater than that of the Jin family.
??Bai Xiongqi did not have any children. Bai Xiuzhu was his only sister. She was doted on as a daughter since she was a child, so the dowry she brought was quite generous.
?The deposit alone is 300,000 yuan, and there are also some stocks, antiques, jewelry, houses, fields, etc. Taken together, there are all kinds of things, and I am afraid they are not worth 500,000 yuan.
“I didn’t expect that I would marry a rich young woman.” Xiang Nan pinched Bai Xiuzhu’s chin and teased.
"That''s natural. Our Bai family is not as powerful as your Jin family, but in terms of wealth, we are no worse." Bai Xiuzhu said proudly.
"Well, you have so much money, I don''t even give you a change, you can use your money to pressure others from now on." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"If you use money in the future, just tell me what you want to say about using money to pressure people." Bai Xiuzhu curled her lips and said.
“Then I’m not going to be a pretty boy who betrays the White Party and eats soft food?” Xiang Nan said with a smile, “I don’t want it anymore. Although I earn little, I still spend the money I earn most securely.”
"You don''t want to spend my money, so I have to spend it on you." Bai Xiuzhu said willfully, making Xiang Nan dumbfounded.
But no matter what, marrying a Bai Fumei would bring more advantages than disadvantages to Xiang Nan.
…
?Because Bai Xiuzhu has been dating Jin Yanxi for several years. She used to come to the Jin family as guests every now and then, and she has long been familiar with the Jin family. Therefore, her marriage into the Jin family was like a fish in water, seamlessly.
??In addition, the third sister-in-law Wang Yufen is her cousin, and she is too late to be happy about her marriage into the Jin family. Naturally, she will not add sand to the situation, sow discord everywhere, and disturb the whole family.
?Hence, Bai Xiuzhu integrated into the Jin family much faster and more naturally than Leng Qingqiu.
After marrying into the Jin family, she basically slept until midnight, and then got up, dressed, washed and had breakfast with the service of the maid. After breakfast, I would either play mahjong with my sisters-in-law, or go shopping, listen to operas, or watch movies. This kind of life is no different from her previous life, and she is not used to it at all.
Unlike Leng Qingqiu, because he grew up in a different environment and had different living habits from childhood to adulthood, he and his sister-in-law could hardly play together.
Not only was Wang Yufen full of hostility towards her, but Wu Peifang and Mrs. Jin originally had a very good impression of her, but in the end they also fell out with her.
As for Xiang Nan and Bai Xiuzhu, they are newly married, naturally harmonious and happy. Xiang Nan is also planning to officially take Xiao Lian as his concubine in a few days, which can be regarded as a status.
…
Three days after the wedding, my daughter returned home.
Xiang Nan also returned to the Bai family with Bai Xiuzhu.
??The Bai family naturally gave a grand reception, with plenty of wine and food.
After dinner, while chatting, Bai Xiongqi asked Xiang Nan about his future plans.
"Yanxi, with your talent, it''s a pity to write novels. If you enter politics, you will definitely be very successful." He smiled and said to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan nodded.
?With his ability, it is actually not difficult to rise rapidly in the officialdom.
Because he has lived for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, he has been a prince of the Golden Kingdom, a protector of the country, a martial arts leader, and a billionaire. He is not weak in terms of strategy, practical ability, and governance experience. to anyone.
??Moreover, he possesses peerless martial arts and can also use external moves to make people difficult to guard against. For example, if you create a little trouble for your colleagues, you can make them miserable.
Coupled with the resource support of the Bai family and the Jin family, becoming a high official will not be a problem, and it is guaranteed to be done well.
"Brother is right," Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Politics is indeed a way out. But now that the political situation is turbulent, even the president is in danger. If we choose to go into politics, if the president steps down, we will all be in trouble."
Emperor and courtiers in one dynasty. When the political situation is turbulent, it is actually not suitable to be an official.
Just like "Water Margin", Song Jiang finally recruited an official and was awarded an official title. In the end, he was used as a spearman by the court, conquering the Liao Kingdom, conquering Tianhu, conquering Wangqing, and conquering Fangla. He buried his brothers all the time, and ended up with a glass of poisoned wine. This remaining life.
In fact, even if he is not poisoned to death, the rise of the Jin Kingdom will soon come. When the time comes, the Northern Song Dynasty will be destroyed, and Song Jiang will also have a bad end.
For another example, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, civil unrest broke out and the Qing army came to the gate. Emperor Chongzhen went to the Huangji Hall on the first day of the first lunar month to receive congratulations from officials. As a result, only the commander of the Jinyi Guards was present, and all other civil and military officials did not come.
?The Beiyang government was in chaos, with presidents and prime ministers changing like a revolving lantern. The longest term was only four years, and the shortest was even less than one year, which was shorter than the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Xiang Nan naturally has no interest in becoming an official of the Beiyang government.
“What do you mean?” Bai Xiongqi asked curiously.
“I want to teach in a university and become a Qingliu student,” Xiang Nan suggested.
Being an official is too dangerous, the political arena is too chaotic, there are intrigues and intrigues, and there is no guarantee that you will suffer losses at some point. Even if Xiang Nan has unparalleled martial arts skills and extraordinary resourcefulness, he will still be restrained once he enters the system.
But the academic world is different. Although there are disputes over ideas in academia, there is no life-threatening danger after all. Moreover, no matter who is in power, intellectuals are always treated with courtesy.
In addition, Xiang Nan is considering that Leng Qingqiu will go to college this year. He is going to teach at the university and be her teacher. The so-called first-come-first-served approach to the building near the water is naturally more convenient.
