Chapter 67 More and more unknowns
Those who are familiar with Bai Zhishui, know the events of the year, and gloat, but still envy, fortunately Bai Zhishui does not have that luck, otherwise......
However, what Bai Zhishui didn't get, the saint gave it to Qin Wan with interest, which made them jealous again, the people of the Bai family are all so good!
Bai Zhishui has always been her own character, this kind of entertainment, she used to disdain, but now she will not take it to heart, chatted with the people present, and took the Li family and the Yang family to the back with Princess Duan, leaving Mrs. Qin and several aunts in the flower hall to chat with the housekeepers of various houses.
After seeing Qin Wan's arrogance, Rong Ting and Su Mengzhi put away their thoughts of wanting to provoke, Qin Wan's limelight is not comparable to them, rather than looking at Qin Wan's face at that time, it is better not to provoke from the beginning.
As a result, the atmosphere of Qin Wan's birthday banquet was strange, but the people in the Xiangfu had long been accustomed to this atmosphere, and they were comfortable entertaining their friends.
Just when Qin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this year's birthday banquet would end like this, five carriages stopped outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Qin Wan frowned, this was a scene that had not been seen in his previous life.
followed Bai Zhishui and Qin Dongshan to the front yard, where they were already waiting, and the middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper said respectfully: "Xiangye, madam, miss." The small one is the housekeeper in General Bai's mansion, and on Miss's birthday today, these are all congratulatory gifts specially sent by the head of the family, which were collected by the head of the family at the border gate, and I don't know if Miss will like it. This is the list, please take it, Madame. ”
The butler handed the list with both hands.
The crowd gasped.
If nothing else, this posture is enough to make them envious, jealous and hateful.
Not to mention a child, even when they have a birthday feast, no one will give five carriages of birthday gifts at one time, and those who dare to give it like this must be good things, otherwise what would they do with such fanfare?
The border gate seems desolate, but the border trade there is developed, and many licensed goods enter the customs from there.
So everyone's eyes widened with excitement, except for Qin Wan, whose little face was wrinkled.
General White?
Who is it?
Her two uncles are indeed generals, but the gifts have been delivered, who is this white general?
Turning around, she looked at Bai Zhishui suspiciously.
Bai Zhishui's face was the same, but the Li family beside her raised her eyebrows slightly.
"General Bai? Which White General? Qin Dongshan asked.
The housekeeper replied: "The head of the family is the protector of the capital, Bai Yong. ”
"Bai Yong, General Bai?" Qin Dongshan's scheming eyes tightened slightly, "General Bai has been guarding the border for many years, and the Holy Lord only made a decree a year ago, after the first month, General Bai will return to Shengjing to stay permanently, these are all sent by General Bai?" ”
"Exactly." The butler replied succinctly.
Seeing that he didn't seem to want to say more, or even explain it, Qin Dongshan didn't ask much, only glanced at Qin Wan deeply, "Jiaojiao, do you know General Bai?" ”
Qin Dongshan's logic is simple.
Qin Wan has always been by the prince's side, and it is easy to know one or two ministers of the court, although he doesn't know when Bai Yong became the prince's person, but this does not affect Bai Yong's stammering with Qin Wan.
Thinking of this, Qin Dongshan looked disdainful.
It is rumored that the upright iron-masked general actually has a time when he stammers with the prime minister.
What about his pride?
What about his high spirits?
Qin Dongshan laughed.
The more you stand taller, the more you want, no matter how upright and indifferent to fame and fortune are, as long as you taste the benefits of power, which one will not indulge in it?
Qin Dongshan wishfully believed that Bai Yong took a fancy to Qin Wan's identity, so he showed favor to the Prime Minister's Mansion and relied on Qin Wan's identity to surrender to the prince.
Think about it, the crown prince is the future emperor, and he is the person who will be the supreme power in the future of Longdu, who doesn't want to become a hero who assists him before he succeeds, and when he becomes famous, they all have the merit of the dragon!
"General Bai is polite, it's just a child's birthday, and he still cares about it." Qin Dongshan said politely.
Steward Bai smiled slightly, he knew that Qin Dongshan had misunderstood, but he had no intention of explaining.
Qin Dongshan said without words: "I heard that the one who came back with General Bai this time also has the ninth princess of Kekesu?" ”
The white butler nodded, "The Holy One also knows about this." ”
Qin Wan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the Li family.
I don't know why, she felt that Li was a little anxious.
Qin Dongshan said again: "General Bai and the Ninth Princess ......"
"Back to Xiangye, the matter of the head of the family, the little one is not clear, the head of the family just happened to save the ninth princess, this time the ninth princess came to Shengjing, it is also a symbol of friendship between the two countries, there is no other meaning."
Qin Dongshan nodded, not to discuss too much on this matter.
The white housekeeper looked at Qin Wan and said with a smile: "Miss, these gifts are just the first batch, and there are other things that will return to Beijing with the head of the family." ”
The implication is that there will be something else that will be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future?
Qin Wan, who was confused, smiled slightly, "Trouble Steward Bai to thank General Bai for me." ”
Whatever this Bai Yong meant, at least for now, it seems that he is not her enemy.
She was just a little curious, why did Bai Yong suddenly stammer?
There were too many accidents at Qin Wan's birthday banquet, but too many things happened during a meal, and everyone didn't have time to sort out the relationship, let alone speculate on the intentions of all parties, so they had to desperately remember everything that happened, and ponder it after going back.
Qin Wan didn't know that her small birthday banquet had caused such a big movement, and after the banquet, she asked people to count the things she received today, and after registering them, she went to Bai Zhishui's courtyard.
Bai Zhishui is also a fiery character, since Qin Wan said that she would take back all the things that she had "sent" before, she naturally had to fully support her.
So before the banquet ended, she asked people to take out the booklet and began to "clean up" one yard after another.
These things, because they are all in the palace, so those people can only hold the support scene, watch and play, and be careful to bump and touch, like a pampered Buddha. But these things are treasures, even if they can only be carefully served, they are willing.
At first glance, Qin Wan wanted to take these things back, but the gap in his heart was too big to accept.
Qin Mingrou returned to the house, pushed it away, and was about to hand over the hot towel to her maid, walked straight to the window, waved her hand in disbelief, and swept the vase to the ground.
The maid standing on the side shuddered, and squatted on the ground to pick up the broken ceramics.
"What do you do?" Qin Mingrou stepped on the maid's hand and crushed it twice.
The palm of the hand was cut by the porcelain piece, and even pierced into the flesh, and the maid bit her lip, but she didn't dare to make any sound.
But Qin Mingrou was not relieved, she stomped a few feet on the maid's palm viciously, "One or two of you are bold, you dare to call the shots without my orders, did I let you pick up these things?" ”
"Miss, it's the slave's fault!" The maid sobbed.
"Of course it's your fault, is it mine!" Qin Mingrou exploded instantly, the soles of her feet became more forceful, and more blood spread out from the soles of her shoes.
The red under her feet deeply stimulated Qin Mingrou, and her breathing also became excited, "Hurt, right?" The pain is right, without my orders in the future, if you make your own decisions, you will not be kicked a few times. ”
"Yes, miss, slave and maid remember!" The maid didn't dare to beg for mercy, she knew that the more she begged for mercy, the more Qin Mingrou would not let her go, only if she survived hard, Qin Mingrou would give up, otherwise, she would only have a dead end.
The maid's "hardness" flattered Qin Mingrou, she squinted her eyes in satisfaction and slowly raised her feet.
"Pack up everything, do you know what to say?"
"Yes, miss, the slave knows." The maid responded with a "young lady".
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, only Qin Wan can be called "Miss", and everyone else is called according to their respective rankings, like Qin Mingrou, who can only be called "Third Miss", but she requires the maids in her yard to call her "Miss" when there are no outsiders.
Qin Mingrou held the maid's hand, sat on the chair by the window, took the hot tea and drank two sips.
"Auntie."
With the sound of the maid outside the door, Aunt Lu came.
"This is ......" Looking at the mess that had not yet been cleaned up, Aunt Lu frowned disapprovingly, "Hurry up, clean up quickly." ”
"What are you afraid of," Qin Mingrou blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, and took a sip of tea, "This is my yard, is it possible, I don't even have this right in my own yard?" ”
"You ......" Aunt Lu said hatefully, "Today's incident, you have also seen it, the mother and daughter are clearly going to take us under the knife, we have gained a lot of benefits from Qin Wan over the years, and they will not come back the money they spent, but these things can be taken back at any time." ”
Aunt Lu said as she glanced around, all the things that could be seen in this room belonged to Qin Wan's girl, and she really wanted to hand them over at once......
Her heart was bleeding.
Although some things were given by Qin Dongshan when she was favored, Qin Dongshan also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and used Qin Wan's things to support face.
"Smack!"
Qin Mingrou threw the tea cup in her hand on the ground, and the ground that had just been cleaned was immediately soaked in tea, and the tea stains even splashed on Aunt Lu's white skirt.
"What's wrong with you?" Aunt Lu was also angry in her heart.
"What's wrong with me?" Qin Mingrou sneered, "You like Qin Wan so much, why don't you let Qin Wan be your daughter?" Yes, I don't have Qin Wan's favor, I don't have her identity, I can't give you benefits, you are so capable, let my father give you a flat wife to do, when the time comes, maybe I can still become the crown princess! ”
"You...... These words are also nonsense that you can say! Aunt Lu hurriedly covered Qin Mingrou's mouth, and glanced out of the door in fear.
Qin Mingrou turned her head away and dodged Aunt Lu's hand.
