The history of the Bai family’s rise to wealth?
Bai Ruoxue was slightly stunned.
As a member of the Bai family, how could I not know the development history of the Bai family.
The Bai family genealogy can be traced back to more than two hundred years ago.
He has no distinguished status, and has never served any high-ranking official or wealthy person.
From generation to generation, the Bai family has always been a struggling common people struggling to survive in the tide of history.
The incident happened during the generation of Bai Ruoxue's grandfather in the previous dynasty.
By the time of Grandpa Taiye's generation, the Bai family had become extremely poor, and the family members were struggling to survive.
However, the domestic history was turbulent, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Eight-Nation Alliance... In the face of the huge historical process, the insignificance of human beings seems so insignificant.
The Bai family's grandfather spent most of his life doing nothing, but when he was over fifty, he almost died of a serious illness.
Finally, he was rescued by a wandering Taoist priest who happened to pass by his home.
From then on, Grandpa suddenly became enlightened.
All the family savings started from small business, then buying and selling cloth, selling private salt... step by step, the Bai family gradually became a large family in the local area.
Just as his health was about to improve, Taiyeye suddenly made a decision to abandon all businesses in the capital, taking only all his valuable belongings and family members, and settled down south.
After that, the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Xinhai Revolution, and the warlord melee...
The Bai family has gone through many ups and downs for more than a century, but has never encountered any major disasters.
The Grandfather is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea. He has made all the plans for the Bai family. With his forward-looking vision and perspective, he can always help the Bai family avoid all disasters in advance...
In addition, the grandfather, with his strong vision, business acumen and strong courage, led the Bai family to attack everywhere and lay out various industries in advance.
After a hundred years, a century, and four generations of hard work.
The Bai family became the most mysterious wealthy family in the country.
Even after the grandfather passed away, the plan he made still ensured peace for the Bai family for decades.
In the eyes of the Bai family, Grandpa Taiye is like a god.
Even now, the Bai Family Ancestral Hall still enshrines the tablet of this legendary shopkeeper, with a perpetual lamp burning continuously.
Bai Ruoxue can question the decision of her father and second uncle.
But you must never question your grandfather.
"But... when Grandpa passed away, he was still with me."
Bai Ruoxue seemed to have found a reason to betray her parents and second uncle.
However, the second uncle smiled and said, "Do you know who helped find this?"
"It's a crazy Taoist priest."
Bai Ruoxue was slightly stunned.
She understood what her second uncle meant.
Who is the crazy Taoist priest?
She is the descendant of the Taoist priest who cured Grandpa and saved his life.
The entire Bai family has no information or clues about the Taoist priest from that year.
According to legend, only Grandpa Taiye had contact with 놛, but even after searching through all the relics left by Grandpa Taiye, no trace of the Taoist priest was found.
This crazy Taoist priest was found by Master Bai Er five years ago.
At that time, the condition of the Bai family's younger sister was already very critical. The Bai family took a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, they used various high-tech medical methods to treat her. On the other hand, the second master of the Bai family mobilized all his strength and began to look for a famous wild man across the country.
The crazy Taoist was discovered at that time.
After the Taoist priest diagnosed my sister, he said some mysterious words.
It means that my younger sister was born with a bad destiny and should have died a long time ago.
But if I could find a chosen one with a strong enough destiny and marry him, it would balance the heavens and make up for my younger sister's shortcomings.
What is the so-called heaven's choice?
The foolish Taoist priest also gave an explanation.
That is the fate that was precarious but survived the heavenly thunder tribulation and changed the fate against the will of heaven.
Only with this kind of fate can one escape the five elements and not be controlled by the destiny of heaven.
Bai Ruoxue still couldn't believe it.
She was an educated adult of the new century and never believed in such mysterious things.
It's just that I've never shown it in front of my uncle before.
However, this time it involved her younger sister, so she had to explain it to the two elders.
"Uncle, what does it mean to be chosen by heaven? What does it mean to defy fate and change one's destiny?"
"Do you think such a thing really exists in the world?"
"What era is this? The emperor is long gone, so what's the point of being an emperor?"
Uncle Bai shook his head with a smile.
"The so-called heaven-chosen one, defying heaven to change one's fate, does not refer to the fate of an emperor."
"The person the crazy Taoist priest found this time, according to his birth date, is a typical person who has a bad fate. All his relatives and friends who come into contact with him will be affected and die one by one, and he himself will live in pain and loneliness for the rest of his life..."
Bai Ruoxue's eyes widened instantly.
"A fate that is cursed by the heavens? Isn't that the legendary unlucky star?"
"You're going to introduce this kind of thing to my little sister?"
Uncle Bai waved his hand and interrupted her.
"According to the idiot Taoist priest, this person's birth date and eight characters are indeed destined to be unlucky, but do you know what the idiot Taoist priest saw in his face?"
"what?"
"The foolish Taoist said that your fate is a rare pattern of crouching blue dragon."
"This is a very noble destiny. Its characteristics are that the stem is Jia and Yi wood, and the branch is metal, forming a pattern of wood lying on metal."
"People with this kind of fate are blessed with good fortune and luck, and their lives are smooth and prosperous. They are blessed by heaven and earth for their wealth. This is an extremely rare and noble fate."
Seeing Bai Ruoxue's doubts, Mr. Bai continued to speak.
"Do you hear any contradictions?"
"It is clear that his birth date and time indicate that he is in conflict with the Heavenly Evil Spirit and his Five Elements belong to Fire. However, he has the extremely rare Blue Dragon Hiding Formation."
"These two things are obviously contradictory, but they happen to appear in the same person."
"What does this mean?"
Bai Ruoxue widened her eyes and moved her mouth slightly.
She had already guessed what her second uncle meant.
"Yes. This means that this person is definitely the chosen one."
"The crazy Taoist has seen countless people in his life, but he has only found one person like this chosen one in his life."
"And the idiot Taoist said that you can't see through the other party's fate, because this kid's fate is a mess, no matter how you calculate it, it's impossible to figure it out."
Bai Ruoxue sat on the sofa as if her body had collapsed, and remained silent for a long time.
"Where is the crazy Taoist priest? I want to see him and ask him questions in person."
Master Bai shook his head.
"You can't see 놛 anymore."
"Why?"
"I came to the capital the day before yesterday and met your father and mother."
"The foolish Taoist said that he had revealed the secret of heaven and should be punished by heaven. So he personally blinded himself in front of the two of them and returned to the mountains and forests."
Bai Ruoxue widened her eyes again, her face full of disbelief.
"Uncle, are you sure what you said is true?"
The father-in-law at the side said in a deep voice: "What you said is true."
"The foolish Taoist priest has indeed gone into seclusion."
