20 years later, I watched "The Gate of the Mansion" to understand the true secret of Bai Yingyuan's mansion until his death
Bai Mengtang's eldest son, Bai Yingyuan, is the one with the best medical skills among the three sons of the Bai family.
As the eldest son, he inherited the medical skills of the ancestors of the Bai family, and also became the only inheritor in Bai Mengtang's mind.
He practiced medicine at a young age, and often entered the palace to see the concubines in the palace, and it was because he treated his concubine master, which led to him being wrongfully imprisoned.
Originally, someone borrowed a knife to kill someone, and finally let Bai Yingyuan carry the black pot, which directly led to him being sentenced to prison.
An honest man with superb medical skills and kindness, even if the poor on the street fall ill, he will stop to see a doctor for free and get medicine, how can he kill people?
Fortunately, Zhu Shun managed to steal beams and change columns to save him and transfer him to live in Xi'an.
When the eight-nation coalition army attacked Beijing, all the Bai family moved to Xi'an, and the second grandmother met Bai Yingyuan under the matchmaking of the Bai family.
At this time, Bai Yingyuan lived in a peasant family, living an ordinary life, eating coarse tea and light rice, and the second grandmother saw this and hoped that Bai Yingyuan would return to Beijing to live, so that the Bai family could also help him all the time.
But Bai Yingyuan didn't want to go back.
Since then, Bai Yingyuan has never returned to Beijing.
Why was he so afraid to return to Beijing?
Medical experience
From the perspective of medical experience, although Bai Yingyuan is a famous doctor in Beijing, it is precisely because of his fame that he often goes to see those dignitaries.
He was a common doctor in the palace and the royal palace, and those dignitaries often used their power to oppress him and calculate him.
He treated the concubine master in the palace because Guiwu borrowed his hands and feet, in fact, the real murderer was the Empress Dowager Xi in the palace, and Bai Yingyuan carried the black pot for them precisely because of his honest duty.
He was eventually sentenced to death, and his wife hanged herself after hearing the news, leaving behind four young children.
Bai Yingyuan's room was torn apart because of this matter.
He was a doctor and a kind duty, but in the end, he ended up like this.
The events in the capital disappointed Bai Yingyuan and caused him great pain.
Childhood shadows
From the perspective of family, Bai Yingyuan is a child who longs for his mother's approval, he is honest and filial, and when he returns home from practicing medicine, he always likes to buy snacks for his mother.
However, his mother did not eat the dim sum he bought until her death, and her mother preferred the third child and did not put Bai Yingyuan in her eyes.
Because in the eyes of her mother, Bai Yingyuan is most like Bai Mengtang, and she is also valued by Bai Mengtang, and Bai Mengtang has never paid attention to the old lady of the Bai family in her life, and even when talking to the second grandmother, she does not let the old lady stay around.
In the old lady's opinion, Bai Yingyuan is as annoying as Bai Mengtang, so Bai Yingyuan has never been recognized by her mother in her life.
Childhood trauma has a huge impact on a person's life, it is a shadow in Bai Yingyuan's heart, and he does not want to return to the sad place of the Bai family.
Life aspirations
Bai Yingyuan is an ambitious person who hopes to inherit his ancestral business, cure diseases and save people, and hang the pot for the world.
But his medical experience in Beijing has already caused his family to be destroyed, and with the death of his parents one after another, the second grandmother has become the head of the Bai family, and he does not want to go back and intervene.
This makes it difficult for the second grandmother to be a person.
Moreover, there are still descendants in King Zhan's Mansion, and if he goes back, maybe the people of King Zhan's Mansion will make trouble for the people of the Bai family, and he can't add chaos to the Bai family anymore.
For Bai Yingyuan, Beijing is no longer the place where his life ambitions can be realized.
Since he arrived in Xi'an, his life has been far away from the trivial matters in the family, and his work has been far away from the calculations of those who are dignitaries, and he has lived a peaceful life.
This is the life that Bai Yingyuan has always longed for.
Without the shackles of family affairs, he can treat and save people with peace of mind and realize his ambition as a doctor.
Bai Yingyuan knew that she was more suitable for living in Xi'an.
Coupled with the fact that Baicaotang later opened a branch in Xi'an, he naturally became the head of a new generation, which is more meaningful than returning to Beijing.
Compared with the shrewdness and ability of the second grandmother, in fact, Bai Yingyuan is the most sober person in the Bai family.
He knows what path he is suitable for and what kind of path will make him happy.
In the face of changes in life, some people feel self-pity, some people are negative and decadent, but Bai Yingyuan has learned to grow and learn to create a world from a place that suits him.
