Bai Qiao didn't stay long, and soon went back with Xia Shuang.

There was chaos in the city, and no one paid attention to where Bai Qiao had gone. Bai Qiao did not go back to Bai's house directly, but went to Pearl Xuan.

Since Xue Zhong died, the Manjiangling Mansion has been very heavily guarded, and the ladies in the mansions have hardly gone out, only some buddies have come out for a walk. There were more than half the people on the streets.

There were far fewer people in the Pearl Pavilion than before, and more ladies sent messages asking the men to come with their jewelry. The guy with the box stacked several layers of jewelry in the box, closed the box, and the guy hurried out to the mansions. When Bai Qiao came in, two men greeted him politely and slipped out the door.

The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and said politely: "Girl, do you want to see some new styles of pearl hairpins?" I just arrived. ”

"Okay." Bai Qiao nodded.

Xia Shuang reminded with a smile: "The shopkeeper has more styles, and our young lady will buy two more if she likes." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded quickly, while arranging for the guy to welcome the two upstairs: "Okay~ You go upstairs first, and the small one will be served to you." Ah Yin, take this young lady to Yushuxuan! ”

The man trotted over happily and showed Pacho the way.

After going up to the second floor and entering Yushuxuan, the guy went out and closed the door.

As soon as the guy went out, the tea cabinet in the house was removed, revealing the secret passage behind him.

Xia Shuang helped Bai Qiao into the dark passage.

As soon as the two entered, the tea cabinet moved back to its original position, and there was a light in the dark passage, and the guidance was clearly extinguished.

Song Yu was waiting after receiving the letter from the shopkeeper.

As soon as Bai Qiao came out of the secret passage, Song Yu saluted first.

"How's it going to the capital?" As soon as he saw Song Yu, Bai Qiao went straight to the point.

Song Yu said respectfully: "The right phase is commensurate with the disease, and those who support the left phase temporarily overwhelm the right phase." The emperor sent the imperial doctor three times to treat the right prime minister, and invited the right minister to the court. ”

Yes, one is dominant, which is a scene that the emperor does not want to see. Although he didn't like anyone, in order not to dominate the family, the emperor had to let the two restrain each other. The two fight each other and lose both, so it's good for him to benefit.

Alas, all these thoughts have been put into this.

"Has Xue Zhong's matter been passed back?"

"I haven't heard it yet. Our people can only get the general news. Back then, Empress Dowager Xue cleaned up all the people related to the master, demoted the official and killed the head, and there was no one in the cabinet anymore. ”

As soon as the prince died, all the people who were with the prince's party were dealt with, and they only contacted several adults after being demoted.

The flying pigeons in the capital are not diligent, and only have two letters when there is something to do. Gangneung Mansion is strict, and it is not a trivial matter to be caught.

A fellow brought a cup of tea, placed it on the table next to Bai Qiao, and quickly withdrew.

Bai Qiao drank tea, took a deep breath, and his voice was deeper than usual: "Can you hear the news of my mother?" ”

Song Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Qiao, and shook his head: "Empress Dowager Xue only said to the outside world that the Empress Dowager worships the Buddha and does not ask about court affairs. ”

I just don't know how it is.

Anyway, it's still alive. The dignified Queen Mother of the East Palace, if it is a, it must be a major event that cannot be hidden.

It's good that the queen mother is still there.

"Qin Chi went to Shangjing?" The people in the state capital blocked Qinchi on the way to western Zhejiang, which was wrong. So far, how can this little prince of Qin return to western Zhejiang? The biggest game in Shangjing has not been stirred up yet, and it must have gone to Shangjing in a vain attempt to stir up a bigger game.

Song Yu still shook his head: "My subordinates don't know, Jiangling Mansion is under martial law, and we won't be able to hear about it for the past two days." ”

"There's no need to listen, I must have gone to Shangjing."

"Then how many adults do we want to intercept people on the road?" Song Yu's face was ruthless, and his one-eyed eyes were quite yin.

"That person is like a loach, he can't catch it, he's going to mess up the situation in Shangjing, you just have to ask people to add a few more to him." Qin Chi is very measured, and adding a few things that are out of proportion to him makes him annoyed. There is no reason why he can still get out of the situation of Jiangling Mansion if he stirs up the situation in Jiangling Mansion. It is only fair to treat others the way they would be.

"Yes! I'll send a letter to Shangjing in a moment. ”

"By the way, on the day of the steward, I went to send gold and silver to the state capital, and the prefect had a very good attitude towards us, but I intend to solicit it?"

Bai Qiao shook his head, the state capital would not recruit a group of pirates. It's hard to say whether you can take it for your own use, how can you have this idea? The imperial court has not yet moved, and the state government will not be in a hurry to accept anyone.

Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief, isn't it. The master is now a person from Baifu and a person from Jiangling Mansion, if the state government really has this meaning, Song Yu really doesn't know whether to agree or not.

After drinking tea, Bai Qiao returned to Yushuxuan from the secret passage, picked out two pieces of jewelry and packed them and left.

When I returned home, I happened to catch up with Shang Ning waiting in Lanshan Juli, and when he saw Bai Qiao coming back, You Ning hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "The eldest lady is back, the old lady called you over." ”

"You're here a long time ago?"

"The maid has just come for a while, the eldest lady will change her clothes and go with the maid."

"Okay." Bai Qiao nodded.

Changing into light blue clothes, Bai Qiao went with Youning. The school yard was guarded, and when I passed by the garden, I saw that the brothers in the house were practicing knives.

Youning explained as he walked: "The school field can't be used, so the old lady will let the sons practice here, no matter whether they can be used in the future or not, they can always strengthen their bodies." ”

Among the teenagers, Bi Shui was particularly conspicuous, holding a bow in her hand, aiming at a distant target.

Seeing Bai Qiao, Bi Shui smiled excitedly, released the bowstring, and nailed the arrow to the edge of the target.

Well, I've been practicing well lately, and at least six or seven out of ten arrows can hit the target.

"Eldest sister." When Brother Yu passed by Bai Qiao, he hurriedly put down his knife and saluted.

Bai Qiao smiled and nodded. Let Brother Zhu take the knife, it's really embarrassing for him.

Bai Song was listless in practicing knives, and he didn't look at Bai Qiao, and Bai Qiao naturally didn't look at them.

After passing through the garden and entering the porch, we went straight to the old lady.

There were many people in the old lady's courtyard.

The second lady and the third lady are all here, and there are a few sisters.

Bai Qiao first saluted the old lady and the second lady and the third lady one by one. The sisters said hello to Bai Qiao again.

The old lady sat upright, her face was more serious, and said, "This time I called you over about the new house, and I will give Sister Qiao a copy of the drawings." ”

Yourong hurriedly took another one and handed it to Bai Qiao.

Bai Qiao opened the drawing, and the courtyard of the new house was marked with whom.

"What do you think?"

"Grandmother is in charge."

"Mother, my courtyard is too small. In the future, Brother Song and Brother Yan will not look good. I see that Brother Zhang'er's yard is good, although Brother Zhang is about to get married, but the young couple can't use such a big yard. Seeing that Bai Qiao and the old lady were in the same group, the second lady twisted her sleeves and hurriedly said.

This is the idea of hitting my brother's yard.

Bai Qiao looked at the second lady and shook his head: "The second aunt is wrong. ”
