"Okay, it's not early, let's go back to the bamboo garden quickly." Restraining her smile, Baili Lan said, "In the evening, this Baihuafang will open its doors to welcome guests, and it is inconvenient for us to enter and exit." ”

It turned out that in order to avoid suspicion, Baili Lan and the others did not meet Xin Xiang in Xiangkelai, but chose the location of the meeting in Baihuafang.

When Chunfeng heard Baili Lan's words, he hurriedly went out and called Liu Qingqing and asked him to take a few people to leave through the remote side door of Baihuafang.

"Now the carriage of the eldest grandson is parked at the east gate, it is inconvenient for several nobles to go in the past, it is better to walk from the west side door, where it is the only way for the girls to go back to the street on weekdays, and now no one is leaving, it is clear and quiet." Liu Qingqing led the way in front of her, and at the same time looked back frequently, and said to Baili Lan in a soft manner.

To say that this Liu Qingqing is also a stunning beauty, her singing and dancing talents are naturally superb, and what is even more commendable is that her literary attainments are not inferior to men, and her exports are chapters, and she even wrote a collection of poems, which is popular in Beining. But for some reason, this talented woman turned her back on Bac Ninh, and instead colluded with the people of Nanzhao and worked hard for her.

Looking at Liu Qingqing's eyes glowing with spring light, Baili Lan sank her eyes and said indifferently, "It's okay, I don't have anything to shy away from, it doesn't matter where I go." ”

Baili Lan's disdain made Liu Qingqing look sideways. According to common sense, noble women refuse to be contaminated with Qinglou women. Now, this one not only met with the national teacher in Baihuafang, but also agreed to enter and exit through the side door. If it were the aristocratic ladies of other families, I am afraid that they would have thrown their faces and were so angry. Liu Qingqing looked at Baili Lan carefully again, and found that this woman had a deceptive appearance, although she was extremely beautiful, her eyes were ruthless. She has seen countless men in her life, and even among men, there are few such decisive and decisive eyes. This Baili Lan is really extraordinary!

Sending the group out of Baihuafang, Liu Qingqing just wanted to be polite with Baili Lan, but when he saw the person behind Bai Lilan, his face changed.

"Heh, Qingqing didn't know that there were distinguished guests visiting, and he didn't prepare good wine and food, so he really neglected the distinguished guests!" Bowing softly to the person behind Baili Lan, Liu Qingqing's face turned a little pale, and at the same time, she was also worried about Bai Lilan.

Looking at Liu Qingqing's voice, Bai Lilan found that the person standing behind him at the moment was the Su Yichen who had not been seen for many days!

At this moment, Shu Yichen's face was pale, he looked at Baili Lan, then at Liu Qingqing, and said angrily, "You go down first!" ”

Liu Qingqing was self-aware, bowed and bowed, then turned around and disappeared behind the rockery.

Bai Lilan completely ignored the mountain rain that was coming, still with a thin smile, and said distantly, "Prince Chen also came here to have fun?" What a coincidence. ”

"Also?" Su Yichen's face was gloomy, he seized the loophole in Bai Lilan's words, and his voice was cold, "Bai Lilan, do you know shame!" It's been less than half a month since I left the palace, so I came to visit the kiln!? You don't want your reputation, this king still wants it! ”

"It's really strange, it's only natural for Prince Chen to come to visit the kiln, and I'm here, if I don't do anything, I'm going to be criticized and punished, it's really unfair!" Bai Lilan squinted at Su Yichen and said sarcastically, "Or are the rules of the world for women to follow, and men need to talk about it?" ”

"You ......" forced the evil words that came to his mouth, Shu Yichen took a deep breath and reluctantly calmed himself down, otherwise, he really wanted to strangle her! After all, she is also the princess of this king, you should also pay attention to your words and deeds, don't let this king become the laughing stock of Bac Ninh! ”

"If others want to laugh at the prince, no matter how careful you are, you will be caught. But those who don't have the courage to laugh at you still don't dare to say that you are half bad. In this way, it has nothing to do with me to laugh or not to laugh. ”

"Hundred, li, Lan! Sooner or later, you'll be planted on this sharp mouth! The fists clenched and clenched, Su Yichen couldn't think of any reason to arrange for this woman, her sharp teeth and mouth made her tired to deal with, but when she couldn't see her, she wanted to "meet" with her, but when she did, she would only make herself angry, what a headache for a woman!

Pulling the cloak idly, Baili Lan said lazily, "I don't regret it, it's my own business, and it has nothing to do with the prince." In the future, please don't worry too much, just take care of yourself, my own business, I will deal with it myself! After finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to Su Yichen, who was angry and became the color of pig liver, and left with a few maids with their heads held high.

Seeing Su Yichen's gloomy face, Liu Qingqing didn't dare to say more. While she was frightened, she also deeply admired Baili Lan, who could make the famous Prince of Beiningchen look like this, that Baili Lan was really enough!

Out of Baihuafang, Xia Yu turned around and looked at the door in the twilight, shook his head and said, "I used to hear the little servants in the palace say how this brothel makes people ecstatic, but today, but so, I really don't know what is here, let the men follow one after another here." ”

"What really makes men follow the crowd is women's wrists!" Holding Xia Yu's wrist, Baili Lan jumped into the carriage lightly, and after sitting firmly, she said, "It is said that men are like steel, women are like water, and what can turn the steel heart into a soft finger is a woman's spring water." Xia Yu has to learn this method well, and maybe he will be able to surrender a caring husband and come back in the future. ”

Xia Yu blushed, and said a little coquettishly, "What do you say about the county lord, what kind of husband and wife, slaves and maids have to serve by the county lord's side for a lifetime!" ”

Looking at Xia Yu, who looked shy, Bai Lilan hooked the corners of her lips and said, "A life is too long, and if you don't come to the end, no one dares to say what will happen in this life." If one day, you have a sweetheart and want to marry a wife and live an ordinary life, then tell me directly, I will set you free, and at the same time, I can also find the next personal maid so that I can replace it. ”

"County Lord, none of us will leave you!" Seeing Bai Lilan's serious look, Xia Yu panicked, squatted beside Bai Lilan, and said seriously, "The slave said that I will serve you for a lifetime, that is, for a lifetime!" ”

"The slave and maid too, since the day they followed the county lord, they decided not to marry in this life, and they will be the county lord's people for life!"

After the spring breeze finished speaking, Autumn Frost and Winter Snow also bent down and squatted beside Baili Lan with a solemn expression.

Seeing that the four maids were so serious, Bai Lilan couldn't help but smile and said, "Now no one said that they want you to leave, why do you all look like you are parting from life and death?" Come on, after returning to Zhuyuan, I will write to Baixiangmen, it's time to meet the owner of Baixiangmen! ”

Hearing that Baili Lan had something to do, the four girls hurriedly got up and boarded the carriage, each took their place, and rode back to the bamboo garden.

***

Now that the Panshan Stone has been obtained, there is no need for Bac Ninh to stay. After returning to Zhuyuan, Baili Lan planned to leave Bac Ninh and go to Nanzhao.

Nanzhao is vast and sparsely populated, with many plains and vast grasslands, which are suitable for animal husbandry. Nanzhao people have a lot of personality and are willing to make friends, and businessmen in the Kyushu mainland are more willing to talk about business with Nanzhao people, simply and neatly, and do not cheat. After the current Nanzhao King Nazi Mai ascended the throne, he vigorously implemented a new policy, encouraging the people to cultivate livestock and reduce or exempt harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. A series of policies were well received by the local people, and for a time, Nanzhao, who had just experienced the war of the vassal kings, rekindled its vitality.

Such a wasted Nanzhao is with Baililan's appetite. As long as he seizes the opportunity, Baili Lan has the confidence to create his own new world in Nanzhao and grow his power. In this world, only the right can protect oneself, so Baili Lan vowed to make herself stronger and stronger, until one day, no one dares to bully herself!

"County Lord, if we leave Bac Ninh, what about Xiangkelai and the tea house?" Chunfeng was cleaning up Baili Lan's room, and when he saw a contract, he thought of Xiang Kelai and asked.

"Isn't there Chang'an Wuhua, I see that he is doing very well, so I will entrust him with full authority."

"The county lord can trust him, but the slave can be trusted!" Xia Yu pouted and said unhappily, "That guy is flamboyant and always takes advantage of the county lord, if he knows that the county lord has left Bac Ninh, how can he stay in Xiangkelai honestly?" Maybe he will secretly follow the county lord and go to Nanzhao too! ”

"Let him go, he's an idler anyway, it doesn't matter where he wants to stay. It's just that Xiangkelai must find a suitable person, who can not only take care of the business, but also suppress the bullies who provoke trouble from all sides. Autumn frost, you should also pay attention to it these days to see if there are reliable people around you who can be entrusted with important tasks. ”

"Yes!" Qiu Shuang agreed, and a figure suddenly flashed in her mind, and she proposed, "County master, the slave knows a candidate, maybe it can be used!" ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"It was Steward Zhou when he was in Dingnan Palace. The county lord must have had an impression of him as well. Steward Zhou is an old man in Dingnan Palace, and he has been following the prince for more than 20 years, so his ability is naturally undoubted. Later, because of the dismissal of the Dingnan Palace, Steward Zhou went to Wulao Mountain with the little master in order to take care of the little master. Since the county master will take the little young master back, then just let Steward Zhou take over Xiangkelai. ”

Bai Lilan had no impression of Steward Zhou, and said with low eyebrows, "After so much time, I don't know how Steward Zhou's temperament has become, so let's see it first." By the way, you just said Wulao Mountain, what kind of place is that? ”

"It is a steep mountain peak at the junction of Bac Ninh and Nanzhao. One side of Wulao Mountain is extremely steep, but the other side is beautiful and charming. However, there are very few people who can climb Wulao Mountain, so the beauty of Wulao is mostly just a legend. ”

"According to you, Wulao Mountain is difficult to climb, and it is impossible for the housekeeper to climb the dangerous peak with his fifth brother that week, how can he find Mr. Wu Gu?"

"This ...... Since Mr. Wu Gu can cultivate his self-cultivation on Wulao Mountain, maybe there is a shortcut to climb up. ”

Bai Lilan frowned and said, "There are too many uncertainties in this matter, or when you pass through Wulao Mountain, you will directly find the fifth brother, and as for Steward Zhou, you will make a decision after observation." ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that the spring breeze had almost packed up the things, Bai Lilan remembered something and said, "Before leaving the palace, where did the jade pendant sent by Shu Yichen put it?" ”
