Chapter 208 Ru Shu
The current head of the Bai family is Bai Chongguang.
It was not Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen who wanted to know her, but Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu who told her.
She was wondering at the time why she remembered the name of the current head of the Bai family. Anyway, she would pull down all the heads of the Bai family as quickly as possible until her elder sister Zhu Huaishu replaced them.
So, she reclined on a beauty couch surrounded by black lacquer and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings, fanning herself with a mahogany handle and a silk-covered fan embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies, moving her hand back and forth like a lazy Persian cat, listening to "Peach Blossom Fan".
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
"Zhen'er, do you want to go to the ceremony and change your surname?" Zhu Huaishu asked.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen yawned repeatedly and didn't want to go.
When I think about the fact that my elder sister won’t have the same surname as me in the future, there will be nothing good to remember her by.
"Zhen'er, go ahead." Zhu Huaishu gently pushed Zhu Huaizhen.
Then, Zhu Huaizhen woke up from all sleepiness and looked at Zhu Huaishu for a long time.
Is she overthinking it?
She felt that her elder sister had done something behind her back.
"Zhen'er, forget it if you don't want to go." Zhu Huaishu turned his face away.
"Okay, big sister, I'll support you when the time comes." Zhu Huaizhen yawned, tears in her eyes.
Alas, the weather in Nanchu is not suitable for her. It makes her always want to sleep but not get enough sleep.
If Tu Mi heard this, she would definitely say seriously, Your Highness, the weather in Southern Wu and Southern Yan is not suitable for you either.
Ahem, Zhu Huaizhen was just lazy. After all, she was Princess Ronghua, and she lived a life of wealth and glory.
Changing one's surname is a big deal, and one must build a clan temple.
Generally speaking, no outsiders are needed.
However, Zhu Huaizhen came with gifts, so even if Bai Chongguang wanted to drive him away, he had to consider other people's opinions.
Wow, Zhu Huaizhen has invested a lot of money in such things as coral peony bonsai in silver filigree crabapple flower pot, plum blossom bonsai in silver-gilt filigree rectangular pot, coral peach tree bonsai in silver filigree crabapple flower pot, green bamboo bonsai in wooden crabapple pot, wood-carved longevity god wonderland flower bonsai inlaid with gemstones, Penglai wonderland bonsai inlaid with malachite and jewels, pomegranate bonsai in cloisonné enamel rectangular pot, toad playing bonsai with beeswax stone, narcissus bonsai in green jade chrysanthemum petal pot, and jasper eight-treasure fairy bonsai.
Zhu Huaizhen also planned to invite his elder sister to have tea after the ceremony was over.
Tu Mi had already prepared tea, including rose-pickled melon seed tea, salted bamboo shoots, sesame and osmanthus tea, melon seed, chestnut, salted bamboo shoots, sesame and rose tea, salted cherry tea, osmanthus and green bean tea, walnut and pine nut tea, candied golden orange tea, osmanthus, sesame and smoked bamboo shoots tea, coriander and sesame tea, and so on.
As Zhu Huaizhen expected, the viewing ceremony was long, complicated and very boring.
Zhu Huaizhen yawned one after another and was so sleepy that he could hardly stand.
It was not until Bai Chongguang gave Zhu Huaishu the generation name "Ru" that Zhu Huaizhen suddenly came to his senses.
"Master Bai, can't we retain the original generational structure?" Zhu Huaizhen asked.
"No." Bai Chongguang replied.
After saying this, Zhu Huaizhen put his hands on his hips, furious.
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Zhu Huaizhen felt that the head of the Bai family could be replaced today!
