Tong Rang took a group of people and respectfully kowtowed to Bai Yanyu three times, "The old slave kowtows to the county, you are the new master designated by His Royal Highness, it is an honor for the old slave to serve you for a few days, I hope the county lord will treat this mansion well." ”

Bai Yanyu also nodded solemnly, nodded and asked, "Father-in-law Tong really can't help but go?" ”

Tong Rang smiled, "You have to go, the master has to use a newcomer, this is the rule, and it also means a new beginning." The old slave also bought a field outside the city, not far away, and he will often come to visit the third lady in the future. ”

Everyone kowtowed to Bai Yan again, and then left one by one with their burdens.

It wasn't until everyone was clean that King Ling's mansion ushered in extreme silence.

The three masters sat in the front hall, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, it was the Hong clan who spoke first. She told Bai Yanyu: "Do you see it, this is a slave cultivated in the serious palace, who understands the rules, knows how to advance and retreat, and has always thought about the master, as long as the master is good, they can leave here." Yan Yu, if one day you can also cultivate all the people in your house like this, it will be a success. This is also another great gift from the Fifth Highness, from now on, this palace will be completely yours. I will send someone to call Bai Shun back from the princess's mansion, someone must help with the affairs of the house, Bai Shun is a person who is used to it, he knows the roots, and he will talk about it when you find a suitable housekeeper in the future. Ming'er hung up the plaque, put on the court clothes sent over yesterday, and after hanging the plaque, he entered the palace to thank him, from now on you will be the lord of Ling'an, and you will no longer be the third lady of the Wenguo Mansion. ”

Bai Yanyu took a deep breath, and it wasn't until this moment that she really realized that from now on, life was really different.

The next day, a plaque was hung in the Ling'an County Lord's Mansion, attracting many onlookers. Bai Yanyu was wearing the court dress of the county lord, graceful and luxurious, and the little maid in the Wenguo Mansion had already been judged to be like two people.

There are many dignitaries who send people to send congratulatory gifts, some send people to come, that is, Bai Shun reception, and if there is a lady and a young lady who come to the door in person, Bai Yanyu will accompany them to say a few words. However, the Hong family didn't let her say more, she is now the county lord, and her status is already higher than theirs.

The plaque was finally hung high, and many people knelt down and chanted "Ling'an County Lord Chitose Chitose". Bai Yanyu shouted and flattened out, and what she saw was the sincere blessing in the eyes of the people.

Finally, the people dispersed, and Bai Yanyu entered the palace accompanied by Bai Zhenzhen to thank her, and the emperor and queen both had heavy rewards. The two entered the palace empty-handed, and when they left the palace again, they were followed by six large rewards, and they also carried a lot of silver tickets in their arms.

Bai Zhenzhen said: "The emperor and queen have used all the thoughts of the Fifth Highness on you, third sister, we must live well, and we must be worthy of all this that brother has fought for us." ”

Bai Yanyu nodded, "Yes, we have to live well, he is watching us from the sky!" ”

She lifted the curtain of the palace car and looked up, it was daytime, and there were no stars in sight. Regretfully lowered the curtain, and then said to Bai Zhenzhen: "Second sister told me that every person who dies will turn into a star in the sky, guarding the person he wants to protect. I want him to be a star too, so that when I look up and see him, I feel like he's always there for me. ”

Bai Zhenzhen took her hand, "Yes, third sister, your wishes will come true, and God will treat you very well from now on, so you have to fight for yourself, and live a life to show God and that brother." ”

Bai Yanyu nodded, but one hand kept groping for the palace car.

This was left by Jun Mufeng, who had sat once when Bai Heran returned to Tianci Town before, and then gave it to her. She said to Bai Zhenzhen: "My mother has always persuaded me to fight again in the palace car, don't take this car, I'm afraid that I can't get over this hurdle in my heart when I see things and think about people." But she didn't know that if I didn't have anything around me, I would go crazy. So sometimes you don't have to forget a person, it's better to keep him in your heart, so that you can miss a place to settle down. I don't want to be completely without him in my life, I still have to live by his influence and his breath. Can you get it? ”

Bai Zhenzhen smiled bitterly, "I'm all engaged people, why don't I understand?" His Royal Highness the Ninth has not returned to Beijing until now, and I have never asked anyone where he is. It's not that I want to ask, but I'm afraid to ask, and instead of asking about a bad outcome, it's better for me to live with my own fantasies. As long as the faith remains, he will always be there for me. ”

The person who drove the car was Ma Pingchuan, who left him with Bai Yanyu after Bai Heran left Beijing. The palace car traveled very smoothly all the way, and there was no trace of avoiding it in crowded places, Bai Yanyu had to sigh: "There are so many capable people around the second sister, and even the coachman is a master." In the past year, we have relied on our second sister to live, and now that we have opened our doors, we can't always rely on our sister, we have to grow our own skills. ”

Xiao'e lifted the curtains of the car to look out, and said softly: "I have arrived at the former Wenguo Mansion." ”

The people in the car were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked out the window, and sure enough, it was a familiar place for them from childhood to adulthood.

It's just that the current Wenguo Mansion can only look at the street scene, the mansion has burned down, and even the gate and the two pillars at the door are burned black and broken. Things are not people, and the former prosperity is now just a ruins, which is also embarrassing.

Bai Zhenzhen said: "Put down the curtain, there is nothing to see, there are almost no good memories in that mansion, at least what I can imagine now is all bad things and bad things, nothing worth remembering." ”

Xiao'e said: "Not necessarily, at least there are a few refreshing things after the second miss returns to Beijing." ”

Bai Yanyu also remembered her previous life, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I didn't know what I thought before, but I tossed myself into that way, now I think about it, what is the difference between me and my mother at that time and the girl who stood at the door of the flower building and waved a handkerchief?" It's just a station street, a station house. I even once thought about Bai Haochen, hoping that he could inherit the title in the future, and if I followed him, I would be able to have a solid life for the rest of my life. ”

Bai Zhenzhen patted her, "It's just forced by the situation, otherwise who wants to live like that?" If it weren't for the fact that the Hong family was rich, I am afraid that I would have been sold by that father. In his eyes, we are just chess pieces in his chess game, thrown wherever we are needed, he doesn't care whether we are happy or not, and he doesn't care if we live or die. ”

Gong Che finally returned to the Ling'an County Lord's Mansion, the Hong family was still busy in the mansion, she was teaching the Lin family how to help Bai Yanyu take care of the county lord's mansion, and at the same time told the Lin family that everything should not be too much, although she was a mother, but her daughter was already the county lord, not the same.

The Lin family has been following the Hong family almost every inch these days, and he has really learned a lot of things, and even some rules and interests are more familiar. So she agrees with the words of the Hong family one hundred and twenty, and she can also put herself in the right position, she is now the old lady of the county lord's mansion, although she is a little younger, but the meaning is still the same. She can help Bai Yanyu take care of the lock affairs in the house, but all the big things and all the ideas have to be taken by Bai Yanyu, and once Bai Yanyu decides something, she will not refute it.

After Bai Yanyu returned home, he went to the Hong family and said to the Hong family, "Can you let Bai Shun stay?" The second sister asked me if I wanted to be in vain before, but I didn't agree because there was still Gonggong Tong in King Ling's mansion. But now Aunt Hong has also seen that there is not only a shortage of manpower in the house, but also no manpower at all. It's better to let Bai Shun stay and help me take care of it, he is also doing the matter of buying slaves, I can save a lot of worry. Otherwise, I won't be at ease if I go out and find a housekeeper. ”

The Hong clan immediately nodded, "I understand, don't worry, I will go and tell Bai Shun, and the princess mansion will also ask someone to bring a message to Ji Bo and tell him that Bai Shun will not go back." In addition, there are some old people in the princess's mansion from the former Wenguo Mansion, and I suggest you don't want these people. The father-in-law is right, the new master wants to use new slaves, this is the rule, and it is also a good implication. We can't find new people for housekeepers, so the others have to be as particular as possible. Let Bai Shun buy you new people from the outside, although there are good and bad newcomers, but this is a process, you have to learn to argue and use people. ”

This matter was settled, and Bai Shun was also very happy to stay and take care of the third lady.

On the second day, news came out from the palace that the Queen Mother was in mourning.

The white flags were hung up again in the upper capital city, which had just been restored for a few days, and the people said, "This year is not good." ”

It was indeed not good, it was only the eleventh day of the first month, and there were two funerals, not to mention the corpses outside the city on Chinese New Year's Eve.

The Queen Mother's funeral was very grand, but at the same time it was also very official, everything was done in accordance with the Queen Mother's regulations, not a little bit, but no more than half a point. The emperor gave the Empress Dowager Ye all the honor she should have after her death, but it was without a trace of emotion, including the name given to the Empress Dowager, there was not a single word of mercy, nor a word of righteousness.

Clear-eyed people can see that the relationship between the royal family and the Empress Dowager Ye is not good, and it is already good to be able to do a big funeral.

The funeral of the Queen Mother was originally intended to be held for five days, but some courtiers said that the fifth day happened to be the Shangyuan Festival, this big year has not been good, Chinese New Year's Eve is used to fight, if the Shangyuan Festival is to give the Queen Mother a funeral, this year's year is really worrying!

The ancients were very particular about this matter, why the New Year had to be lively and grand, and we had to pay attention to smooth and smooth, that is, to have a good start in the coming year, and the wind and rain were smooth.

Therefore, the courtiers mentioned this, and the Emperor of Heaven and Emperor also felt that it was so reasonable, so the original five days of stopping the spirit were changed to three days, and on the thirteenth day of the first month, he carried the spirit out of the city and went to the imperial tomb.

In this way, the common people finally passed the first lunar fifteenth Shangyuan Festival, although the street is not as lively as in previous years, but finally saw Cai'er, no longer the street full of white cloth and white flags.

On this night, the passenger ship to Lancheng was also much more lively than the previous days......
