Chapter Ninety-Eight: Picking Up People
"Thank you, miss, the slave is illiterate, and she doesn't know what to say. But the slave and maid will be loyal to their master. As she spoke, Xiao Zi kowtowed to Bai Zhen'er.
"Alright, alright, you two get up. Is Miss Ben's words not good? After hearing Bai Zhen'er say this, the two stood up.
"Since that's the case, then I'll go straight to the arrangement this time, and I will only take one of you with me when I enter the palace this time, because I need someone to do things for me in the courtyard. This person has to be my person, someone I trust. Bai Zhen'er emphasized the last few words, she looked at the two people in front of her, but neither of them spoke.
"There's still time, you can go back and discuss it, and give me an answer in a few days." Bai Zhen'er didn't directly decide who to take into the palace, because in the eyes of outsiders, it was a very glorious thing, but she didn't think so.
Things have to be dealt with slowly, she is just worried that it will not be good if there is an estrangement between the two because of this incident.
The three days passed quickly, and soon the appointed time arrived.
Bai Zhen'er had already found a reason, and said to the public that she was not satisfied with the things sent by the Fugui Store before, and she wanted to go to the Fugui Store PΓΉ to pick things in person.
Bai Zhen'er arranged the time, finished the homework assigned by her aunt, and drove the carriage to the Fugui store early.
But the time has passed the agreed time, and the people of Jin San have not yet arrived at the rich store. Bai Zhen'er was a little anxious, could it be that something went wrong on the way. I don't want to be okay, but when I think about it, I feel like a cat's paw worried.
In fact, Bai Zhen'er's worries are true, since that day of farewell. Jin San personally went to the academy. They didn't expect that the squire actually sent a lot of people to guard this academy for Qin Hao, and he was completely like he would not give up without handing over anyone.
It has been a creed since ancient times that the people do not fight with the officials. Jin San has some roots in the capital, but in the eyes of those nobles, he is just a gangster.
The squire has King Jin as the backstage, and his power is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and he looks so arrogant that even the county prince doesn't dare to brush his beard.
Jin San finally got in touch with Bai Jing, but how to get people out is still a problem. With the help of arresting fugitives, the squire has sent people from the government to surround the perimeter of the academy. Openly and covertly, they are monitoring the entry and exit of the people in this academy.
The longer the time drags on, the worse it is. simply didn't do anything, they came and attacked, and then took advantage of the chaos to pick people out. But the squire was still in hot pursuit, and when he arrived in the capital, he was still holding Qin Hao's portrait. Said to be a fugitive. In order to chase people everywhere.
After Jin San took people to the capital. To avoid the sound of the wind. Directly hid the person. I didn't send anyone to the rich shop.
Bai Zhen'er waited until the sun was about to set in the afternoon, and she didn't wait for any news. Bai Zhen'er had no choice but to ask the steward to send a letter over there, and tell her to be notified as soon as there was news.
Back to Fuchu. Bai Zhen'er felt her heart beat for a while, could it be that something really happened?
ββ
But soon, after the second day, Fuguidian pΓΉ sent a letter saying that the person had been received, but someone in the capital was still looking for it, and it was inconvenient to send the person over for the time being.
As long as the person is safe and okay, Bai Zhen'er breathed a sigh of relief. Only, why is that squire so powerful? In order to accept a concubine, it took so much effort. Still chasing after you in the capital?
Could it be that the person behind it is not the squire, but the master behind him.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility. What they are doing is nothing more than Qin Hao's life. People in the royal family, sometimes believe this, and believe in it foolishly and ridiculously.
Now that the princes have reached adulthood, everyone wants a piece of the pie for the position above. Besides, the most promising ones are the four princes and the three princes.
If that's the case, then things are getting harder. Maybe the fourth prince didn't particularly believe in this, but if that person didn't know what to do, then it was a different matter. What you can't get, the more precious it is.
What's more, Qin Hao is just an orphan girl, and she has no background in life. The fourth prince accepted her as a concubine, and there was no conflict with himself, and in the eyes of outsiders, this could only be Qin Hao's blessing.
Bai Zhen'er thought so, but her mind was thinking quickly, where was the turning point in this matter? Perhaps, this time it will take advantage of the momentum of the Anyang Palace.
Bai Zhen'er thought for a moment, and after having a general context in her heart, she didn't think about it anymore. This kind of thing, the specific needs to be discussed by the eldest brother of the Bai family.
Letting go of the things in front of her, Bai Zhen'er remembered the previous selection of the maid, she looked at Xiao Zi and said to Xiao Tao, "By the way, have you discussed it?" β
Xiao Tao and Xiao Zi looked at each other for a while, and then Xiao Zi stood up and said, "Miss, we have discussed, let Xiao Tao follow Miss into the palace, and the slave maid will guard Miss's courtyard." β
"Well, since you've discussed it, then it's decided." This answer is actually in her expectation, after all, the injury on Xiao Zi's brain is not completely healed, and in the future, if something happens after entering the palace, it will not be good to catch a cold.
That place is sometimes the most people-watching, if she is not favored, I am afraid that she will not even be able to invite a doctor.
ββ
In the days that followed, Bai Zhen'er stayed in the mansion all the time. Halfway through, the eldest brother of the Bai family came to a letter, saying that the situation had changed now, and asked her not to pick up people first. On the day he returned, he would make another noise to lure the squire's people away, and then Bai Zhen'er would pick up people from Fuguidian.
Seeing Bai Jing's close arrangement, Bai Zhen'er became more and more sure that the master behind the squire must be the fourth prince Jin Wang. Otherwise, with a squire, how dare he go to the capital to search for people with great fanfare.
At the end of the month, it is time for Bai Jing to return home. Bai Zhen'er got ready here, took a carriage and left Baifu, ready to go to Fuguidian to pick up people.
I was waiting in the rich shop again, but I was still anxious.
The time of the three incense sticks has passed, but there is still no one to be seen.
At this time, the steward walked into the inner hall, "Little Miss, the young master sent a message, they were surrounded, but people sent it out, but they couldn't be sent here." β
"Do you have any opinions, steward?" The matter was urgent, and Bai Zhen'er didn't think about how the steward knew about it.
"The little lady is polite, according to the old man, this matter is not difficult. The old man will let a few boys follow him later, and they will bring people over, but the little lady needs to go to East Street and wait. Although the steward was a little worried, he did not panic, but spoke fluently.
"Then we'll go at once." Bai Zhen'er followed out of the gate, East Street? She thought of a place where she might be able to borrow this disguise. (To be continued......)
