Chapter 61: Forge ahead
"Big girl, please speak! The little one will never give up! Chen Qingsheng said busily.
She raised her eyes to look at Chen Qingsheng, and said slowly: "There will be a battle report from southern Xinjiang tonight, you bring more people to guard the city gate, once you see the war report of the arrow 800 miles rushed back, you must let the people of the capital know about it, and find a way to attract the people to the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion." โ
Since ancient times, if the Great Jin Kingdom has had a good news, the messenger will shout the good news when he enters the gate of the capital, so that the people will know about the celebration.
If it is murderous news, the messenger will only present the military report after entering the palace.
If the lord is about to die, the palace will send someone to inform the general's family to prepare for the funeral.
After Bai Qingyan's previous troubles, now the people of the entire capital are extremely concerned about the Bai family and the war situation in southern Xinjiang...... The people would come to the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion and wait for the palace to send someone to report the war situation to the Zhenguo Mansion.
When the news of the death of the Bai family's men came, she wanted the people of the capital to see with their own eyes how far their Bai family had done to protect the Great Jin, and let the people see the tragedy of the Bai family...... Grief with the Bai family!
In this way, as long as the emperor makes a slight move against the Bai family, it will definitely arouse public resentment and indignation.
The emperor has always loved false fame, as long as he is still afraid of the official pen of the historian, and he is still afraid of the people's grievances, even if he has the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, he will not dare to attack the widow of the Bai family.
Although Chen Qingsheng didn't know what Bai Qingyan was going to do, he nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, big girl." โ
"There's another thing, you try your best to find out, and it doesn't matter if it's not clear." She stared at the red plums in the snow not far away, and said, "Two months ago, the Marquis Zhongyong was in charge of preparing the grain and grass to be sent to southern Xinjiang, whose hands did it, I want to know the name." โ
The matter involved the court, Chen Qingsheng was very surprised at the moment, but because he knew that this batch of grain and grass was about to be related to the war in southern Xinjiang, he responded without thinking about it: "Don't worry, the little one will not be dishonored!" โ

On Chinese New Year's Eve, it was not yet dark, and the sky was already full of brilliant fireworks.
Bai Qingyan stood under the corridor, quietly looking up at the sky, waiting for the news to come back.
Chun Tao, whose eyes were red, walked behind Bai Qingyan with a thick coat in her arms, and said for her: "Big girl, my cousin has personally led people to guard the city gate according to your instructions, but now that the gates of the capital city have been closed at this hour, I am afraid that there will be no news today, it is useless for you to think too much!" Let's go to the eldest princess for Chinese New Year's Eve meal first......"
"Let's go!" Bai Qingyan gathered his big words, held Chun Tao's hand, and stepped out of the gate of Qinghui Courtyard surrounded by a group of low-eyed girls.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he saw Bai Jintong standing alone at the gate of Qinghui Courtyard, looking up at the fireworks in the sky.
Hearing the movement of the courtyard door opening, Bai Jintong came back to his senses and walked two steps to Bai Qingyan, opening his accent and saying hoarsely: "Eldest sister......"
She raised her hand to brush the falling snow off Bai Jintong's shoulder, hooked her lips and smiled at Bai Jintong: "Wait for me here?" โ
Bai Jintong nodded, his reddened eyes almost couldn't stop his tears, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide it.
She just remembered that when she was a child, the town was brightly lit, because there were many people and children, and the servants, maidservants, and servants were busy going in and out of the corner gate, and there was a lot of noise and laughter everywhere.
Adults drank and talked, she and Bai Jinzhi took Xiao Seventeen and a group of children with lanterns to make trouble in Bai Qingyan's Qinghui Courtyard, Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu sat under the corridor and chatted and laughed, a thriving and vibrant scene.
This year, the entire Zhenguo Mansion is still brightly lit, but ...... The servant woman and the servant girl watched the master's bad mood and didn't even dare to speak loudly, and there was no frolicking sound, and the quiet of the Guogong Mansion made people feel cold.
Knowing that Bai Jintong felt uncomfortable, she smiled and grabbed Bai Jintong's cold hand: "Let's go......"
Looking at Bai Qingyan, who was calm and peaceful, Bai Jintong only felt that the eldest sister seemed to be full of strength that was not frightened, and his heart also stabilized: "Good ......"
As soon as she and Bai Jintong took two steps, they saw Bai Jinxiu and Bai Jinzhi who had come to Qinghui Courtyard together.
Bai Jinxiu and Bai Jinzhi also came to Bai Qingyan to find the backbone.
The four sisters stood opposite each other, with white brocade red eyes, and laughed low with a handkerchief: "It's a coincidence that we all came to find the eldest sister." โ
The flaming red lanterns, with the four girls tearfully smiling in the snow, are particularly heartwarming and uncomfortable.
"Let's go! Go to my grandmother ......" Bai Qingyan's voice was heavier and firmer than usual.
Chun Tao stepped forward to support Bai Qingyan and told softly: "The road is slippery on a snowy day, the four girls are careful of their steps." โ
Bai Jinxiu saw that Bai Qingyan had already raised her feet and walked forward, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she whispered softly: "There is the eldest sister leading the way in front, and then slide...... We're not afraid. โ
What are you afraid of all the way to the wind and snow, the sisters just work together to forge ahead.
Bai Jintong bowed his head, grabbed Bai Jinxiu's outstretched hand, and choked up and couldn't speak.
"We sisters walk together, and we are not afraid of anything!" Bai Jinzhi wiped away his tears, quickly caught up with Bai Qingyan, and walked side by side with Bai Qingyan.
Her eyes were blurred by the fog, she walked alone in her previous life, and with her sisters in this life, what is she afraid of no matter how difficult the road ahead is?! Knife mountain, sea of fire, lava and magma fire, she Bai Qingyan also dared to go.
As soon as she entered the eldest princess's longevity courtyard, the little girl who was guarding the door of the upper room of the longevity courtyard suddenly pointed to the sky: "What is that?!" โ
When she turned around, she saw a bright light rising in the sky, following closely behind...... Second, third, fourth......
Under the brilliant fireworks that exploded in the sky, countless bright lights rose into the sky, reflecting the entire night sky into a sea of warm fire, and the lamps were full of words such as "triumphant return", "victorious return to the dynasty", "victory in a hundred battles", "safe return" and so on.
The Zhenguo Mansion, which had just been silent, suddenly became lively, and the maids and servants all stopped their work and crowded into the courtyard of the corridor to watch the lights in the sky. The orange light shines warmly in people's hearts.
Bai Qingyan turned around and instructed Chun Xing beside him: "Go and ask what's going on?" โ
Before Chun Xing left, she saw the mother-in-law coming at the door in a hurry, and saw several girls standing at the door, smiling and saying, "Big girl, second girl, third girl, fourth girl!" The people were touched by the loyalty and courage of our Bai family, and spontaneously put lights in the long streets and courtyards to pray for the blessing of the Bai family army in southern Xinjiang. โ
Hearing this, her throat rolled and choked, she handed the hand stove to Chun Tao, and solemnly shook it to the end...... to give thanks to the people of the capital.
Who said heroes are unremembered? The people who have been guarded by the Bai family for generations remember him Bai family!
In their previous life, their Bai family did too much and said too little, so they would be forgotten......
Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jintong, and Bai Jinzhi followed with tears in their eyes, and they also deeply worshiped this bright lantern in the sky.
The sudden noisy laughter of the servants of the Zhenguo Mansion alarmed the elders in the upper room of the Longevity Courtyard.
