Xia Houjie soon got tired of that Oiran, and he fell in love with another woman again, called Bai Qingqing. And this Bai Qingqing is not as easy to deal with as Oiran. Because she, like Zhao Changle, is also an official woman.

Although Bai Qingqing's father's official position is not high, and it is not even as good as Zhao Changle's father, he is just a seven-rank county commander. But Bai Qingqing has a particularly prominent relative, her cousin is the head of the household, and the famous Concubine De is also her cousin.

As for why they are both relatives, there is such a big gap between Bai Qingqing's father and Concubine De's father. In ancient times, the bloodline of the clan was so important, why didn't Concubine De's father, Bai Shangshu, help Bai Qingqing's father?

The main reason is that Bai Qingqing's father is too wasteful, and he is very stupid. Bai Qingqing's father, although he and Bai Shangshu are just cousins. But there are few people in their lineage, and they are already relatively close relatives.

Therefore, whether Bai Shangshu is simply looking at blood and family, or wanting to add more help to his daughter and grandson, he wants to help Bai Qingqing's father up.

But Bai Qingqing's father is really too angry. Bai Shangshu put a lot of effort into it, but he couldn't help him up, and finally had to give up.

But after all, it is a relative, although Bai Qingqing's father is no longer of much use, Bai Shangshu is willing to give him a little face without harming his own interests.

For so many years, these two have come quite close. Bai Qingqing's father is okay, although he is not capable, but he is also quite self-aware. Under Bai Shangshu, he was a petty official, supporting his family, and from time to time he was helped by Bai Shangshu, and he was also quite happy.

His two sons are just like him, mediocre in talent, but also honest and loyal. Although the three of them are not very smart, they all understand. The fact that his family can have a life like this is inseparable from Bai Shangshu's help.

These three people are very grateful to Bai Shangshu and are also very concerned about him. Bai Shangshu, an old fox, stirred up the wind and rain outside, and saw most of the scheming people.

Leng Buding was also very moved to see someone treating each other so sincerely. Because of this, Bai Shangshu is a little more sincere to this family. Although the two are very different, they have been moving around.

However, Bai Qingqing is different from her father and brother. Every time she followed her father to Shangshu Mansion, she was very envious of the life inside. The person she envies the most is Concubine De, and she also wants to enter the palace to be a master.

I have to say that Bai Qingqing is really bold. Concubine De would occasionally invite Madame Bai into the palace and occasionally bring her along. Once, just in time for the emperor to come to see Concubine De, Bai Qingqing actually pretended not to stand firm and fell into the emperor's arms. I want to seduce the emperor.

It's a pity that the emperor is not the kind of person who is in a hurry. Even if Bai Qingqing does have some color, but the emperor takes care of Concubine De, and he will not accept Bai Qingqing before she speaks.

After the emperor left, Bai Qingqing only said that he was too scared and accidentally didn't stand firm.

But Bai Shangshu and his wife are not stupid, and no one can see her little bit of caution. Moreover, Concubine De has children and daughters, her status is stable, and she is deeply favored, so she doesn't need to be favored at all, how could she let her enter the palace to block her daughter.

After so many years, Bai Shangshu has also had some feelings with Bai Qingqing's father. Therefore, he did not directly cut off contact with their family.

Bai Shangshu just asked Bai's father to quickly find a marriage for Bai Qingqing. And said that Bai Qingqing has also reached the grade, let her stay at home well, and don't always go out if she has nothing to do.

Although Father Bai didn't know the reason, he had always trusted Bai Shangshu unreservedly. Hearing Bai Shangshu say this, he did it very simply.

Bai Qingqing was coldly told that she couldn't go out for the time being, let alone go to Shangshu Mansion. At that time, she stopped doing it, crying and asked Father Bai why he treated her like this.

Father Bai told her what Bai Shangshu said directly, and said that he had already found a future husband's family for her. As soon as Bai Qingqing's mind turned, he understood that Bai Shangshu had discovered his mind and was beating himself.

But Bai Qingqing was really unwilling, so she accepted her fate. This kind of unwillingness, especially when Bai's father sent her a list of husbands, came to a climax.

Seeing that the list was either a flat-headed commoner, or a businessman's family, and the best was just the son of a county order, Bai Qingqing secretly hated in his heart.

Why, Bai Qingqing felt that she was no worse than Concubine De, whether it was her appearance or scheming. Why can she be a favorite concubine above 10,000 people under one person, and show her glory and wealth in the palace, but she has to choose among these lowly people.

Bai Qingqing didn't want to accept her fate, but Bai Shangshu didn't want to deal with Bai Qingqing for the sake of Bai's father's face, and planned to forgive her once. But Mrs. Bai couldn't tolerate a niece who was bold and tried to compete with her daughter for favor.

Mrs. Bai's mother's family is also quite powerful, she directly bypassed Bai Shangshu's mother's brother and released Bai's father. When Bai Shangshu knew, the matter was a foregone conclusion.

It's just that Mrs. Bai didn't do too much, just let Bai Qingqing's family leave the capital. The land arranged for Bai's father is not only simple and simple, but also very oily.

In addition, Mrs. Bai also has a reason, all out of a motherly heart. And Mrs. Bai has worked hard for so many years. Although Bai Shangshu has some feelings for Father Bai, he is no better than Mrs. Bai.

Therefore, Bai Shangshu couldn't say anything more, so he could only acquiesce to Father Bai's departure.

After all, Bai Qingqing is just a boudoir girl, and her thoughts are not very important at all. Even if she didn't want to, she could only follow her father to the post.

And Bai's father also set a marriage for Bai Qingqing, who was the son of the county order. Although Bai Qingqing can't look down on it, in fact, the conditions of this county commander's son are really good. This is already the best future husband that Father Bai has chosen for Bai Qingqing to the best of his ability.

The son of this county commander is young, but he has already been born as a child. And I was going to continue to take the exam that year, and I heard Mr. say that Zhongxiucai is absolutely no problem. Another point, this county magistrate's family style is very good, the county magistrate has no concubines, and he is very affectionate with his wife.

When the county order discussed with Bai's father, he promised to take a concubine only if he had no children for thirty. Father Bai was very satisfied with this son-in-law, and praised Bai Qingqing again and again. But Bai Qingqing was not happy at all, but was in pain because she failed to marry a powerful person.

Just when Bai Qingqing had nothing to love and thought that he was really going to marry a small son of the county order, a turning point appeared.

When Bai Mu took Bai Qingqing to incense, she met Zhao Changle. At that time, Zhao Changle had just married Xiahou Jie, and it was the time when the spring breeze was proud.
