The New Year Festival is approaching, and it is the time when relatives and friends of all families come and go, and there is an endless stream of cars, horses, and sedan chairs. Among the Bai family, most of Wang's relatives are in other provinces, even if someone occasionally visits the door, they are also entertained in the garden, and they rarely invite people to the Taoxiang Courtyard. Bai Anyu was inconvenient to go out, so he simply took root in the study at the back of the hospital, and did not go out every day, but it was very quiet.

Bai Anheng returned to Beijing the first day, and went to the palace the next day, and the emperor said that he had worked hard in Hexian County and did a good job, and after returning to Beijing, he stayed in the household department and served as the household servant, and there was no need to go out again.

This news broke the Gan family, the first two years were so frightened, and now it has finally been exchanged for three years of stable life in Beijing, if it weren't for the matter of the eldest prince and the fifth prince later, now she can be satisfied with Sun Don't ask about the world.

After getting this news, more people came to the door to say goodbye, and at the end of the year, relatives and friends came and went, and it was very lively.

On the second day of the first lunar month, every family was busy visiting friends, and suddenly, news came from the palace that the emperor was sick. So, hulala, the official eunuchs who were originally moving around in Beijing suddenly became deserted, even those who were originally going to invite a banquet were all silent, only the salutes that should be left were gone, and the rest were all cautiously waiting for the news in the palace, not daring to have the slightest loud voice.

"Haven't found Zhuang Ru yet?!" Song Yuci was shocked and wanted to get up from the chair, but before he could stand up straight, his face stiffened, and his hand was pushed to the back of his waist.

The guard who reported the news hung his head, but he was clearly seeing the movements of his hands, and the corners of his mouth pursed disdainfully, and only said: "That's right, Master Song, His Royal Highness told the little ones to have something to do, so they will retire first." ”

Song Yuci nodded with a cold face, let the guard retreat, and he carefully sat back on the chair, and when he sat down, he took a light breath of "sizzle".

These guards, those hidden stakes earlier, still have some respect for themselves when they still have official positions on their bodies. But now that his filial piety is not over, he can only live in the mansion of the great prince, and he doesn't even dare to go out of the gate easily.

If it had been before, it would have been a big deal to ignore such villains. However, I am now unable to move, and I am afraid that I will meet acquaintances again when I go out, and my career will be over. Now, all the news from outside depends on these people to inquire about it. The eldest prince is the most impatient, and if he asks about something, he is impatient. The news outside is secret, and not every time I can see it. As a result, some news is not working.

Just like Zhuang Ru's matter, although he knew that he had gone to Hexian County, he didn't get in touch for a while, but the eldest prince was busy there, and he only cared about fighting with the five princes, so he put this matter aside. If he hadn't mentioned it a few times vaguely, he wouldn't have asked someone to inquire - anyway, the Turks had already beaten Hexian, and he was beaten out by Wu Qiran at this time, so whether Zhuang Ru was dead or alive, the eldest prince didn't bother to pay attention. Even if he is still alive and asks the eldest prince to find someone, maybe he will simply give him a knife!

"Zhuang Ru can't find it...... Are you hiding? Or is it dead? Or ......" Song Yuci frowned and thought, such an impermanent villain, no matter what the result was, he was not surprised. But if he dies and hides, it's easy to do, but I'm afraid that if he is in the middle of the chaos, he will ask someone to take it? Or maybe he simply reported these things to the five princes...... No, no, his treason with the enemy is the crime of punishing the nine clans, he is not so stupid.

"What about Your Highness?" This matter has to be investigated carefully, and some of the things that have been laid down before must be discussed with the eldest prince before they can be carried out. Thinking about it, Song Yuci called a little servant who usually waits by the eldest prince's side and asked.

The little guy grinned: "Didn't His Highness enter the palace early in the morning?" Long live the poor health these days, our Royal Highness has to serve in front of the bed. Master Song, it's not dark yet, and you can't be in a hurry, why don't you come in a hurry, why don't you get water for the small one, and you bathe and change your clothes first? When our highness comes down, is it convenient? ”

Song Yuci's face changed, and he was about to have a seizure, so he endured it, so he flicked his sleeves and turned back to the house.

When the little guy saw him enter, he secretly took a sip: "What is it?" is still an official, the same ass seller, His Royal Highness who hooks all night and all night is not out of the house! After that, he glared at the door where Song Yuci entered, and went to find someone to touch the cards for recreation.

The filth of this house!

Standing quietly in front of the window, Song Yuci secretly lucked his luck, and his face was blue for a while and white for a while.

If he had run for half a minute, he would have abandoned that straw bale long ago! However, he is too deeply involved with the eldest prince, and he wants to withdraw now, but I am afraid that it will not be easy.

No, it's naturally easy to withdraw, but all the hard work I've put into it over the years has been wasted!

took two more deep breaths, and then suppressed the anger in his chest, now he wants to be an official or not, and he has no position, Zhao Rulan, who was originally relied on, can't even see him now, and his son doesn't even remember what he looks like.

Since there is nothing, then you can only hold on to the only one you can!

Stand quietly in front of the window until it turns dark outside, and a voice comes from the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing that the eldest prince led people into the courtyard, Song Yuci put a sneer on the corner of his mouth, straightened his clothes, and subconsciously helped his waist with his hand, before he returned to greet Lu with an indifferent smile.

"Your Highness." His eyes swept over the cloaked woman who was not far behind the eldest prince, but he didn't see it.

Seeing him, the eldest prince threw the person behind him aside, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards him: "How is the mansion today?" ”

"It's business as usual." There are many people in the courtyard, and it is not a place to talk. Turning around, half a step back, he followed the eldest prince towards the main room.

The eldest prince waved his hand backwards without looking back: "Bring it to the back and settle it." After that, he took Song Yuci's hand and walked inside.

A few of the subordinates who came back looked at it, and they all sighed secretly in their hearts, and hurriedly said to the woman in the cloak: "You come with the little one, and you have to go to the backyard to greet the princess." "Anyway, it's also given by the palace, if you like it or not, you can't just ignore it and treat it slowly.

The woman looked in the direction where the eldest prince was going, and nodded shyly with a little reluctance in her heart, and walked behind with her subordinates.

————————

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor fell ill. The original liveliness of the Bai family also came to an abrupt end, and men and women, all of whom had grades on their bodies, entered the palace to ask for help. Whether it is hoping that the emperor will get well soon, or hoping that the emperor will die soon, they all have to make a grief-stricken appearance at this time, and they can't replace him with their bodies.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Chi, who had just returned home from the palace, went to the study first, and talked to a few subordinates who were doing business, and then returned to the main house and found Gan's.

"Ansi, they're back from Yule County."

Gan was stunned, and then remembered what was going on: "But there is news about Miss Yang's affairs?" "You can't blame her for not thinking about the woman. Who told that first his two sons went home, and then there was the news that the second son was promoted to stay in Beijing, and then there was the communication of relatives and friends, and then the New Year's Affair, and now there is the emperor in the palace who is slightly ill. And since Miss Yang came to live in the house, she hasn't caused any trouble, and she hasn't been picky about anything at all, which is a rare peace.

Even the girl next to her, except for the first day of her arrival, she had to talk back a lot, but someone else took her out of the city these days, and she didn't move around. Although whenever he meets someone, he will want to inquire about the affairs of the house, but he is very honest in action. After Gan cared about them for two days, he ordered them to be watched, and then they were left behind.

"Check it back." Bai Chi nodded, and threw a stack of papers on the table: "The place where the family lives, the names of the parents, when they didn't have it, how many acres of the original land, how many silver taels were sold, and what is the surname of the uncle in Jingzhong, and even the birthday of their family has been found out." ”

Gan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went over and flipped through it, as Bai Chi said, all of them were clearly written and substantiated.

"So, it's really a white family?" Even the families to whom the fields were sold and how much money they spent to buy them were clearly marked.

"People are innocent." Bai Chi nodded, and suddenly sneered, "It's too innocent!" ”

Gan was taken aback: "How do you say this?!" ”

Bai Chi sat on the kang, tilted to it, closed his eyes to soothe and soothe, and Gan hurriedly pinched his forehead, the sun, etc. "Usually, if you want to find out who you are, no matter how innocent your net worth is, you will inevitably have one or two places where you can't find out. But when it came to her, even the name of the uncle her family who had not been in contact for many years, the family child, the eight characters of his birthday, and how many years he had not contacted Yunyun after entering Beijing were all clear and clear. ”

"That'...... Is it true or false, isn't it easy to understand it at a check? Gan said busily.

Bai Chi shook his head: "You don't have to check, if you do, you will definitely be able to really check such a person-I'm afraid that he is already dead." ”

"What the hell does the lord mean by that?!" The more Gan listened, the more shocked he became, why didn't he hear it now, it didn't look like he had been worried about it earlier?

Bai Chi opened his eyes and sneered: "I'm afraid that this family is true, and these things are also true, but whether that Miss Yang is really is two words." After that, he looked at the Gan family, "As I said that day, I asked them to inquire, and the village even knew how many taels of silver the land that Miss Yang sold was!" An Si and the others had a little more heart, and after inquiring, they left two people who had not shown up earlier and stayed in the village for a few more days.

"What they inquired about was the scoundrels in the village, and they didn't ask the Yang family anything about it—the village was not a place that had been instructed by a master, let alone a saint, and there were many things about cheating, abduction, and bullying. The Yang family is not a big family, why are the orphans and widows of other people's families being blamed and bullied by the villagers, and they have changed when they come to her house? Other people's widows and orphans want to sell their fields, and they can't take half an acre of land, but when they come to her house, they give them enough silver. Saying that, Bai Chi smiled contemptuously, "Is it true that my Bai family is easy to bully?" Such shameless tricks have been used on my white chisel! ”
