Chapter 219: Surveillance
Bai Jinyu nodded sullenly, tried the tears in the corners of her eyes, then took a step back and looked at the four elders: "Old lady, are they the other elders in this mansion?" ”
Scold......
She doesn't know any of these elders, and it seems that the people in Baifu have all been replaced!
The old lady of the Bai family nodded lightly, and the four elders walked in front of Bai Jinyu, hugged their fists towards Bai Jinyu, and said casually: "Nine elders! ”
Although the four elders looked respectful, there was a hint of arrogance and hostility in their eyes.
After he hugged his fist with Bai Jinyu, he flicked his sleeves, turned his head and left here, and the other elders glanced at each other, then said goodbye to the old lady of the Bai family, and followed behind the four elders!
As long as they were not blind, they could see the contempt and hostility in the eyes of these elders.
The old lady of the Bai family rolled her eyes and smiled lightly: "After all, the age difference between you is too big, and it will be good to get acquainted with it in the future." ”
"What the old lady said is that those soldiers ......"
"These gatekeepers don't have eyes, even the Nine Elders who are personally sealed by the old body dare to be lazy, if they kill them, they don't have to take them to heart. I still have some things to deal with now, Mrs. Bai, you take her around the Bai family first, and then bring her to see me. ”
The old lady of the Bai family said, patted Bai Jinyu on the shoulder, and then turned her head and left here.
Her eyes, too, were full of shrewd calculations in an instant.
Bai Jinyu looked at the back of the old lady of the Bai family, and a sneer appeared on her face.
"Ninth Elder, you can come with me."
Bai Pozi took a deep breath, saluted Bai Jinyu, and walked towards the direction of the Hall of Elders with her.
Even though Bai Pozi is well-informed, Bai Jinyu killed so many people, which still scared her a lot, and when she walked in front of Bai Jinyu, even her spine was stiff.
Within this Bai family, the location of the palace where the elder lives also represents his status in the Bai family, and the location of Bai Jinyu's elder hall is in the center of the Bai family, which also represents the attitude of the old lady of the Bai family towards her.
Of course, this made the four elders even more jealous!
Not long after Bai Jinyu entered the Bai family, the news that she was killing at the door of the hundred houses today has spread throughout the Bai family! Even in the Imperial City, there were more or less rumors about this Ninth Elder of the Bai Family!
"I heard that the Ninth Elder that the old lady focused on supporting is just a young woman!"
"I see that he must be not young, but he is just good-looking, otherwise how can he win hundreds of great warriors with his own strength?"
"This Ninth Elder of the Bai Family is not simple, and he may not want to stir up any trouble in the imperial city in the future! If you have the chance, be sure to visit her! ”
Mrs. Bai led Bai Jinyu around the Bai family, and then took Bai Jinyu to the old lady's room of the Bai family.
At this moment, the old lady of the Bai family was lying on the soft collapse, closing her eyes and recuperating, with a cup of hot tea beside her, billowing white smoke.
"Coming?"
The old lady of the Bai family didn't even open her eyes, she only said slowly.
"I've seen the old lady."
Bai Jinyu saluted the old lady of the Bai family, and the old lady stretched out her hand and patted the chair beside her gently: "Sit here, I have something to tell you." ”
Bai Jinyu nodded, and sat beside the old lady of the Bai family.
"Do you know that an agreement has been signed between the Yuan Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom to build a Grand Canal between the two countries, from the Great Yuan Imperial City to the Ming Imperial Capital?"
The old lady of the Bai family lowered her eyes, her right hand tapped the wooden table, and the dim light reflected on her body, reflecting her a little terrifying.
"I've heard it from the people, but I don't know if it's true or not."
"Oh, of course it's true, and it'...... Do you know who His Majesty has assigned to be solely responsible for the construction of the Grand Canal? ”
The old lady of the Bai family opened her cloudy eyes violently, her eyes were deep and complex, with a touch of excitement.
"Dare to ask the old lady, who is it?"
"Zhao family, Zhao Shinan, Bai family, white night! One of them is responsible for building the upstream, and the other is responsible for the downstream! ”
"What does the old lady mean?"
"Your Majesty's meaning this time is already very clear, where the upstream and downstream are built first, whoever will be the marquis will be reused, and your Majesty will be reused in the future, since you are the ninth elder of the Bai family, your heart will be towards the Bai family."
The old lady took a key from her bosom and slapped it on the table.
"This is the key in the suburban tower, and the materials used to build the Grand Canal are all in the suburban tower, you can take it for the time being, and when the eldest prince returns home, you will give him the key."
The old lady's eyes flashed with a touch of deep meaning, and her cloudy eyes looked directly at Bai Jinyu, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Dare to ask the old lady, why don't you send it yourself?"
There was a hint of respect in Bai Jinyu's eyes.
"I'm going out of the house tomorrow."
The old lady lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, sighed, stretched out her hand, patted Bai Jinyu's shoulder, and her eyes were cloudy: "In this entire Bai family, there are few credible people in the old body." ”
After the old lady said that, she slowly stood up and walked towards the inner room, with an indifferent expression between her eyebrows, and said with a wry smile: "When you are old, when you are old, you are easy to be sleepy." ”
The old lady's voice was old and weak, with a hint of hoarseness.
As soon as Bai Jinyu heard this, she knew that the old lady wanted her to go, her eyes turned, she put the key in her arms, and slowly stood up: "Old lady, I still have something to deal with, so I will retire first!" ”
"Yes." 118
The old lady of the Bai family nodded faintly.
Bai Jinyu's eyes flashed a little blank, then turned around and walked towards the door of the main hall, Bai Pozi bent her knees slightly, and bowed to Bai Jinyu: "Ninth Elder go." ”
After Bai Jinyu walked out of the main hall, the old lady paused, her expression was complicated, and she said leisurely: "Keep an eye on her to see if she will do anything on the key." ”
"What does the old lady mean?"
"The old body is not worried about her, in case this girl still has her heart to Zhao Shinan and gives him the key, won't she live up to the cultivation of the old body?"
"If she really does something, the slave and maid will immediately go back and forth to the old lady!"
"No need, summon the Bai family's military soldiers and correct the law on the spot."
The old lady's voice was quiet, and there was no trace of emotion in her cloudy and cold eyes.
————
After Bai Jinyu left the main hall, he found a remote corner, clapped his hands, and soon, a black shadow passed through the air, and the man in black appeared in front of Bai Jinyu and knelt on one knee!
"See the master!"
"Do me something."
"Door master, please speak!"
"Make an identical key with subtle differences in size."
Bai Jinyu threw the key given to her by the old lady of the Bai family towards the man in black.
The man in black took the key in his hand, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned it over and over to look at it. Because he had an excellent memory, he quickly memorized the outline of the key.
He handed the key to Bai Jinyu and said solemnly: "Before the sun sets tomorrow, my subordinates will bring the key to the master!" ”
"Be careful, when you leave, don't be discovered by the soldiers in this white mansion."
"Yes."
The man in black spoke, and his figure flashed and disappeared.
Bai Jinyu lowered her eyes and looked at the key in her hand, and a touch of coldness flashed in her eyes: "Heh, build the Grand Canal." ”
Want to build it smoothly? Let's go in the next life!
At this moment, Bai Jinyu's ears moved, as if she sensed something, she sneered, and slowly walked in the direction of the Hall of Elders.
When Bai Jinyu walked around the corner, she slowly squatted down, patted the dirt on her clothes, pretended to be inadvertent, glanced behind her, and really saw that Bai Pozi was following behind her.
With a hint of ridicule on her face, Bai Jinyu stood up and went directly into the Hall of Elders to rest. At this time, the name of her Nine Elders had spread throughout the Bai family, and as soon as the maids saw Bai Jinyu, they immediately knelt down and saluted, with great respect!
They had heard that the Ninth Elder was a veiled young woman, and that they had been right to salute the veiled girl when they saw her.
After Bai Jinyu closed the door of the Hall of Elders, Bai Pozi's eyes swept over a little, and she sat in the pavilion closer to the entrance of the Hall of Elders, pretending to look at the scenery, but she was actually monitoring Bai Jinyu.
Bai Jinyu knew that Bai Pozi had not left, but she was not annoyed, she just lay on the bed, and she really fell asleep, she woke up from a big dream, the sky was dark, she looked through the window, and looked towards the pavilion outside the hall, Bai Pozi was still guarding here, and never left.
At this time, Bai Jinyu slowly pushed open the door of the hall and glanced around: "Is there anyone?" ”
The white lady was excited, stood up carefully, and quietly left here, took a bag of snacks, turned a corner, and walked in the direction of the elders' hall along the path.
Some maids heard Bai Jinyu's shout and wanted to come to the Hall of Elders to wait for Bai Jinyu, but they were all stopped by Bai Pozi.
The white lady walked to the door of the Hall of Elders, then stretched out her hand and knocked lightly on the door of the Hall of Elders, her eyes were shrewd: "Elder Nine, the kitchen just made a snack for the old lady, and the old lady asked me to take some and give you a taste, in the middle of the night, no bother?" ”
A sneer flashed through Bai Jinyu's eyes, gently pushed open the door, and looked at Bai Pozi: "No trouble, I haven't fallen asleep yet, thank you Bai Pozi." ”
"You are the Ninth Elder, you don't need to thank my mother-in-law, just now I was on the road, as if I heard the Ninth Elder shouting people, but what is the order?"
"I'm about to break through, and I need to find a pure place to retreat for a while. I wanted to ask someone from Baifu to help find a place. ”
Bai Pozi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Bai Jinyu more, and said with a light smile: "This is easy to do, the most important thing in the Bai Mansion is the cultivation room, when the elder wants to retreat, I will lead the elder over." ”
"Now."
"This ...... It's getting so late, not to mention that the elder still needs to wait for the eldest young master in the Bai family, why don't you wait a few more days? The old lady just ordered that there is no one waiting for the Nine Elders here, so let me bring some maids and wives over tomorrow to wait for the Nine Elders! Just wait a few more days! ”
"The time for the breakthrough is not set by me, if I don't have the past to cultivate now, and break through again, I may have to wait another year."
Bai Jinyu's expression was cold and indifferent, quite strong.
"This ......"
"Please also ask Mrs. Bai to make it convenient, when the eldest young master returns home, Mrs. Bai only needs to go to the cultivation room to call me, and I will come out to meet the eldest young master immediately!"
Bai Jinyu finished speaking, and seeing that Bai Pozi was still hesitating, she took out a silver ticket of two thousand taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to Bai Pozi's hand: "A little heart, I'm tired." ”
A faint glint flashed in the bottom of the white woman's eyes, and she put the silver ticket in her arms: "Since the Ninth Elder is so anxious, then come with me!" Remember, don't delay the matter of the eldest young master! ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Bai."
After about half a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Bai took Bai Jinyu to a palace with a lantern, and pointed towards a room: "Ninth Elder go in, after entering, unless you take the initiative to open the door, even if it is an old lady, you will not be able to open the door of this cultivation room again!"
The Nine Elders are cultivating here, and when the eldest young master comes, I will come here to summon the Nine Elders out of the customs! ”
Bai Jinyu thanked Bai Pozi, then gently pushed open the door of the cultivation room, entered inside, and closed the door.
