129 Entering the palace
"Don't worry, what is there to worry about when he is old?" Although the memory of Xiao You's self-confessed identity was erased by external forces, on the way back from Bai Poria to Xia's house to participate in the poetry meeting, Xiao You once mentioned the sea pumice stone, and the words showed that the sea pumice stone should not be worried about her life, so she didn't take it to heart.
"Poor ......," Lin Pingzi sighed, but there was obvious schadenfreude in this sympathy. I thought that the master of the Haida Alliance had touched the heart of his young lady, but it turned out that there was still a big difference. This mood is very entangled, he not only hopes that the young lady can find a good match, but also has a panic that other men will rob his baby sister.
"In addition, the two prisoner female dependents you asked Bai Ah Shi to buy from the Jiaofang Division have already arrived, and sure enough, as you expected, someone deliberately wanted to trample them, Bai Ah Shi pretended to be that obscene and virtuous, and the people from the Jiaofang Division sold the two women to him without saying a word, and I heard that someone secretly offered a high price of three hundred taels, and the people of the Jiaofang Division refused to sell them." Lin Pingzi changed the topic and got down to business.
They have always been careful to buy official slaves, these are mainly the families of prisoners in the capital and some large towns, mainly women and children, Bai Qian has a very good relationship with Fengluan, who manages the sect department, as long as there is a new goods, they will give priority to notifying him.
Some wealthy businessmen in Beijing like to buy these official slaves and maids back the most, originally the official wife's daughter, the little young master, ravaging and enslaving them can make these rich businessmen with rich but low status get a kind of perverted pleasure, these official slaves and maids are bought back, most of the days are very miserable.
There are also some lucky ones who meet buyers who just look at their excellent upbringing, and feel that they have face with such slaves, but they will inevitably be displayed in front of guests as something new, although they will not suffer from flesh and skin, and it is also very humiliating for these decent people.
This time, Bai Poria got the news that the two daughters of the water director of the Ministry of Industry were sold into the Jiaofang Division, and their father's surname was Xu, who was convicted because of the flooding of the Ning'an River half a month ago, which is another unjust case.
The elder sister of these two daughters, and the son of Li Langzhong in the household department is a pair of lovers of childhood sweethearts, and the two sides already have a marriage contract, but the twelfth princess fell in love with this Li Gongzi, the twelfth princess is from the queen, she and the five princesses rely on the power of their respective mothers, and they have always been domineering.
This household Li Langzhong was used to being honest, and the palace sent an attendant to his house to reveal that the twelve princesses intended to recruit his son as a concubine, but he politely refused even on the grounds that his son had a marriage contract.
Originally, this matter had not been made public, so it was nothing to stop here, but the news was leaked for some reason. The twelfth princess quit, and she felt that she was a noble princess from a queen, and she couldn't even have a man?! It's unreasonable, grinding the queen and claiming that this Li Gongzi will not marry.
The queen was silent, but immediately an official who was bent on currying favor with the Xia family secretly took advantage of the flooding of the Ning'an River to slander the director of the Ministry of Works, Xu, who was greedy for the money of the Mohe River project, and severely sentenced him to exile, and his family members were sold into official slaves. Now, Li Gongzi can't marry an official slave, right?!
The Xu family is not wealthy, and the two Miss Xu have secretly done some needlework for the nylon embroidery workshop, Bai Wei has a very high evaluation of their handiwork, and when she learned the news of their family's disaster, she immediately reported to Bai Qian, who was in the capital, and asked him to come forward to buy people back, but the teacher refused to let go of them after paying a lot of money.
Bai Poria happened to hear about this, and after thinking about it, he asked Bai Ashi to pretend to be a lame merchant from the countryside, ugly and rude to buy people, and sure enough, he only spent fifty taels of silver to buy people.
"Those two sisters weren't scared by Bai Ashi, were they?" Bai Poria wanted to laugh when she remembered Bai Ashi's disgusting appearance. The two sisters of the Xu family saw that it was such a lewd man who bought them, and they probably had the heart to hang themselves.
"Hehe, although the two sisters were scared enough, they didn't cry, they looked more sad than dead, and they looked pitiful. Bai Ashi took them out of the Teaching Workshop Division when they were stopped by someone, willing to pay five hundred taels, and wanted to buy the two sisters back, but two people dressed as the Imperial Forest Army suddenly rushed out of the Teaching Workshop Division, drove the people who blocked the way, and threatened Bai Ashi that the two sisters could not be resold to others, otherwise be careful of their heads or something. Lin Pingzi said.
"Those princesses, they're really hateful, huh! One day, I will sell them to the teaching department and let them suffer. "I also want to know who will be the ones who sincerely practice the Xu family sisters.
Lin Pingzi scratched his head and said, "Unless there is a change of dynasty, ...... There is difficulty. ”
The two of them are definitely enough to talk against each other, Bai Poria is needless to say, Lin Pingzi lives in the border city most of the time, and Bai Poria is opposite day and night, and he has long been brainwashed unconsciously, there are only the two of them here, so he thought about it.
Bai Poria stretched her waist and said, "Where did Bai Ah Shi take people now?" Are you being followed? ”
"Bai Ashi, that guy is clever, he took those two sisters out of the city a long time ago, and when he sent me the message, the people who followed him had already retreated with confidence." Picking Bai Ah Shi is to see that he is full of opportunities, and he will definitely be able to get things done, otherwise Bai Thirteen looks like a bandit, and he can buy people without makeup, and he doesn't have to be so troublesome as Bai Ah Shi.
"It's a pity that in this way, the two sisters can't stay in the capital, otherwise they will be found by the twelve princesses, and they will be unlucky." The Xu sisters on Bai Wei's side can't go, so they can only transfer them to another place first. I don't know what that Li Gongzi is going to do, if he still insists on not marrying Miss Xu, maybe he can also be abducted to work, it is said that this Li Gongzi is quite famous in the capital.
Bai Poria thought about it and said to Lin Pingzi: "You have time to contact that Li Gongzi and see what his plans are." You have to be careful, don't let any princess target you, otherwise...... Hey! ”
Lin Pingzi shuddered and said: "It's a big deal, I don't deserve to be the grandfather of this country, that kind of woman, I don't want to kill her!" ”
"It's okay, you can tie up your 'Wang Ba' a lot and let him lean on you!" Bai Poria asked Lin Pingzi to be the loyal prince, which originally made him more close to Yang Heng, and there were people "above" who would be easy to do in the future, especially Yang Heng is very likely to be the king of a country in the future, hugging his thigh, there is no need to worry.
The two talked and discussed their future plans, and suddenly Yang Mei hurriedly walked in from outside and said: "There is a palace attendant who has come to pass the decree, and I want the old lady to go to the front with you to receive the decree!" ”
Bai Poria and Lin Pingzi glanced at each other, and the decree was passed on in the palace? Which one is this singing?
The one who came to deliver the message was a white and chubby old eunuch, as soon as he saw Mu Peilan, he squinted his eyes and laughed, calling him "Six Girls", Bai Poria's heart moved, her mother is an only daughter, how can she be a "Six Girls", yes! Because these six girls refer to their mothers, who were the sixth in charge of Tsing Yi Wei back then!
This old eunuch and his mother are old acquaintances, and the heads of Tsing Yiwei report directly to the emperor, and the mother and the current emperor are not only distant cousins and sisters, but also have a subordinate relationship with their superiors, presumably this old eunuch is the emperor's cronies, so he knows these things.
Bai Chou's expression was indifferent, but Bai Poria, who was next to him, obviously felt that his body was stiff, and he didn't know whether to guard against this old eunuch or the emperor in the palace...... Well, it is said that the emperor is widowed and sick, and he is quite lustful, so he can't think about his mother or mother...... Bai Poria was full of bloody plots, and secretly glanced at her father again and again.
The old eunuch's surname is Lei, and he came to pass on the message, saying that he had not seen Princess Antai for many days, and had called her to live in the palace, and at the same time let Bai Poria's mother and daughter enter the palace to accompany her.
If you are afraid that Princess Antai will be lonely, it should be to let her two daughters enter the palace to accompany her, what does it mean to let the two of them "outsiders" go in to accompany her?
Lei Gonggong passed the message, smiled and came up to talk to Mu Peilan, Mu Peilan knew that there was a difference, gently held her husband's hand and silently comforted, and said to Lei Gonggong with a smile: "Princess, didn't she leave Beijing for something?" The two county lords came to play with my Ling'er just now. ”
"Hehe, the princess has just returned to Beijing, and she didn't even have time to enter the princess's mansion, so she was taken to the palace by the emperor. It just so happened that the emperor talked about General Lu, saying that he lost his father at a young age, and he was taken care of by the family of the six girls, and now he is serving the country, and the family of the six girls has also made a lot of contributions, and he should personally reward him. Father-in-law Lei smiled amiably, and deliberately mentioned Lu Ying in his words, Mu Peilan's heart turned, and she vaguely understood that the emperor probably wanted Lu Ying to perform some important task, so it was an old rule to take care of their mother and daughter, and there was nothing to make a fuss about.
"There are many affairs in the house, and when I explain to my family, I will go to the palace with my father-in-law." Mu Peilan stuffed a silver ticket to Father-in-law Lei without a trace, which was regarded as thanking him for his prompt. Lei Gonggong and his faction naturally put it in his sleeve, and the people next to him didn't even see the specific actions of giving and accepting bribes.
Mu Peilan confessed and pulled Bai Poria and Bai Chou and Lin Pingzi to the back, and seeing that there were no outsiders around, Bai Chou's face sank and said, "What does the emperor mean by this?!" You are a lady, and he is embarrassed to call you into the palace for no reason! ”
This tone is really jealous.
Mu Peilan said: "Probably because he wants Lu Ying to do something, so he wants to detain our mother and daughter in the palace as hostages, don't eat this kind of dry vinegar for no reason......"
"Humph! If it weren't for the Gu poison of the Ghost Face Gu, God knows if he would have let you go so easily, and now that you have finally recovered, he ...... again" The more Bai Chou said, the more ugly his face became.
Mu Peilan pulled him aside and whispered comfortingly: "My daughter is so old, do you think I'm still a little girl and everyone is rushing to ask for it?" And the emperor is not really a womanizer, he likes it...... There are other people, you eat this kind of vinegar for no reason, and you are not afraid of your daughter's jokes. ”
Bai Chou snorted coldly, obviously still very uneasy about the imaginary enemy in the palace.
