Qin Shangzhi once said to the eldest girl of the Bai family that if he wanted to protect the Zhenguo Mansion and retreat, it was considerable that the words and deeds of the eldest girl of the Bai family in the past two days were like because the second girl of the Bai family was injured and carried away for a while.

Qin Shangzhi wanted to remind her that when the moon is full, it will be lost, and when the water is full, it will overflow. It can be seen that Bai Qingyan's eyebrows are clear, and he is afraid that he has other plans. He won't say anything more, I hope that this big girl Bai can really protect the loyalty of the Bai family.

"Eldest sister, that person is ......"

"It's a guest of our house!" She said.

Back in Qinghui Courtyard, she retreated left and right, stood in front of the brazier with her eyes closed, and recalled the words of the Marquis of Zhongyong's wife Jiang before leaving.

Mrs. Zhongyong Marquis, a woman in the back house, can't stir up any trouble, but what about Qin Dezhao, Marquis Zhongyong? Qin Dezhao is now in the household department, and later the news of southern Xinjiang came back, the Bai family was in trouble, the combined army of Nanyan and Xiliang approached Sanlengguan, and his grandfather's deputy general Liu Huanzhang asked for orders to fight, and Qin Dezhao was promoted to the head of the household department to be responsible for the grain and grass.

She opened her eyes suddenly, remembering the batch of military rations sent to the front line in southern Xinjiang two months ago, and her whole body suddenly became numb.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

Grain and grass are the basic of soldiers.

Marquis Zhongyong was in charge of the preparation of grain and grass, and he was afraid that he would know that there would be problems with this batch of grain and grass, and even if there was a problem with the grain and grass, it would be Qin Dezhao's hands and feet.

The second lady Liu heard that the Dong family had torn her face with Mrs. Zhongyong Hou for the sake of Bai Jinxiu today, and she was indescribably grateful in her heart, and now she remembered that the Dong family advised her to think about this marriage, it was really for the good of their family, but she didn't know what to do, and thought that Dong had some resentment in her heart and deliberately provoked it.

That night, the second lady Liu settled Bai Jinxiu and went to Dong's with a generous gift, and the two chatted until late at night, and the second lady Liu came out of Dong's place with red eyes. It was about to get Dong's suggestion, and the second lady Liu couldn't care about being angry now, and was already thinking about how to make the matter of Qin Lang's new house.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to the housekeeper Mama Luo beside her: "Mama Luo, you will tell Mama Pang to let her pick out some down-to-earth and honest girls and servants from the family birth, and send them to the new house given to her uncle by His Majesty to Zhang Luo first, and then let Mama Wan go to Wang Renyazi, and pick some good ones and send them to the new house!" ”

"Second lady, don't worry, the old slave will definitely do it!" Mama Luo helped the second lady Liu to walk into her courtyard.

"Mama Luo, there is something I have to discuss with you, I know that you have been by my side for many years, and your men and children are in the Zhenguo Mansion, but they are beautiful...... I'm really not at ease, you said that I, who is a mother-in-law, can't rush to my son-in-law's new house, so I want you to follow Jinxiu in the future and help that child! Except for you...... I can't believe anyone! Only you can handle the first-class housekeeping of the bride-in-law who gave Jinxiu before. The second lady Liu stopped and patted Mama Luo's hand.

Mama Luo's eyes were hot when the second lady Liu said it, and she nodded again and again: "Second lady, don't worry, the second sister grew up with me!" I will definitely guard the second sister for my wife! Besides, you see that the eldest princess, Mrs. Shizi, our eldest girl, and the third girl will all protect our second sister desperately! ”

The second lady Liu shook Mama Luo's hand hard, and the master and servant stepped on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The snow fell overnight, and dense snowflakes covered the quaint blue bricks and tiles of the Guogong Mansion.

Before dawn, the big kitchen was already full of smoke, and the servants and mothers-in-law were busy.

Farmers who came to deliver vegetables and meat to the Guogong Mansion gathered at the brightly lit back door of the Guogong Mansion to enter and exit, greet and laugh, and turn around the corner to inquire about the history of the Guogong Mansion and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

At midnight, the lights were turned on one by one in the lower rooms of each courtyard.

As soon as the mother-in-law came out of the house, she was blown by the cold wind in the middle of winter, and saw that Chun Tao accompanied the big girl Bai to take a horse step in the yard as usual, and the whole girl followed the hot water and the top of her head was steaming, and the mother-in-law was accustomed to saluting, and she didn't dare to disturb and took a broom to go out of the courtyard and sprinkle it.

Bai Qingyan finished breakfast, leaning against the window and reading on the auspicious cloud pillow embroidered with gold thread, and Tingzhu beside his mother Dong came to Qinghui Courtyard.

Hearing the mother-in-law outside smiling and greeting Tingzhu, Chun Tao hurriedly greeted her, and saw that Tingzhu was already standing under the eaves, and asked with a smile: "Sister Tingzhu has a happy face, but what's the good thing?!" ”

Tingzhu was really happy, rubbed his cold arms, and said with a smile: "This year, the old lady of the Dong family in Dengzhou came to the capital with the second master of the Dong family to celebrate the New Year, and entered the city last evening. The old lady was afraid that our lady was in a hurry and didn't send someone over, early this morning, the old lady asked the second master Dong and the second lady Dong to bring a generous gift to the eldest princess to say goodbye, and at this time I was talking in the longevity courtyard, and made a special trip to ask the eldest girl to come over. ”

"That's a good thing! Our wife hasn't seen Mrs. Dong for a few years, so she should be happy now! Chun Tao picked up a thick felt curtain for Tingzhu.

"Isn't it!" Tingzhu entered the door with a smile.

Hearing Zhu's words outside the door, Bai Qingyan closed the book and instructed Chunyan to change her clothes.

She remembered that her second uncle Dong Qingyue took her grandmother to the capital on the nineteenth day of the lunar month, but at that time, Bai Jinxiu was newly mourned, she was seriously ill, and she had never seen it on the day her second uncle came to the door.

Later, there was an accident in the Guogong Mansion, and the other aunts' mothers avoided it. Her second uncle Dengzhou assassinated Dong Qingyue, risking his life to seek justice for the Bai family. Her eldest uncle, Dong Qingping, the secretary of Honglu Temple, took the whole family and wore linen and filial piety to collect the corpses of the Bai family.

Countless pasts from his previous life came to mind, Bai Qingyan's eyes were hot, and the whole portrait was soaked in sourness, and he couldn't wait to go and meet the only uncle who had come out for his Bai family.

Through the brocade screen inlaid with mutton fat jade and jade, I heard that Zhu saw that Chunyan had already put on a fox fur for Bai Qingyan, and stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "Big girl, the second master of the Dong family in Dengzhou and the second grandmother of Dong came to greet the eldest princess, and Mrs. sent me to invite the eldest girl." ”

Bai Qingyan smiled and took the hand stove head that the maid had just filled with charcoal: "I heard it, let's go!" ”

As soon as she entered the Longevity Courtyard, Bai Qingyan didn't bother to go up to the warm pavilion to change her shoes and socks and went straight to the upper room, and the mother-in-law wearing a blue cotton jacket hurriedly opened the curtain for Bai Qingyan, and passed the news that the eldest girl was coming.

Bai Qingyan stood at the door, handed the stove to Chunyan with one hand, and went to solve the big fire with the other, Chun Tao just stepped forward to take off the white fox big hat for Bai Qingyan, and saw Bai Qingyan raise his feet and enter the upper room.

Chun Tao had never seen Bai Qingyan so anxious, so she hurriedly handed the big puff in her arms to Chunyan and followed in.

In the upper room, the eldest princess leaned on the auspicious cloud pillow embroidered with gold thread, and said with a smile: "Ah Bao came so quickly today, I think I think I missed my uncle and aunt!" ”
