Zhili Province·Tuocheng.

The wind roared by, kicking up a cloud of dust and making the clothes on my body rustle.

The scenery in front of us is very different from the beauty of the land south of the Yangtze River. The vague mountains, the vast land, the sparse trees on the plains, and the vaguely visible fortress villages, as far as the eye can see, always give people a sense of desolation and vastness.

.

This is the scene outside the entrance. At this time, a group of thirty-six riders are galloping, and the leader is Jin Yanxi, the patrol director.

Jin Yanxi is wearing a floral blue satin mandarin jacket and a sapphire blue filament camel velvet robe underneath. She slightly rolls up the sleeves of the shirt, revealing a pea green spring silk short jacket. She is holding the horse's reins in her right hand.

He held a Xiangzhuhu silk snow-sprinkling whip in his left hand. With two patent leather riding boots, he stepped on the stirrups, clamped the horse's belly, raised the whip, and the jade dragon white horse he was riding off spread its four hooves on the road.

, galloping towards the west like flying.

Jin Dehai, who was behind, rode up on his horse, and the thirty or so riders behind him also caught up. The dust on the road was lifted up by the horses' hooves, and rolled over people's heads.

Jin Yanxi had been galloping for a long time, and she felt it was a bit difficult, so she reined in the horse, took out a snowflake silk handkerchief from under her camel hair robe, and wiped the sweat from her face. This handkerchief was embroidered by Tian Xiao'e herself.

The thirty or so knights behind Jin Yanxi had already jumped over the horse's head, turned around, and blocked the way. When one of the knights saw Jin Yanxi dismounting, he also jumped off the horse, waiting for instructions.

This person's name is Li Yunhe, nicknamed Jiutianhe. He is a close disciple of Yanzi Li San and Li Yao. He served as an adjutant in the Fengjun Army in his early years. After the Siberian Incident, he left the Fengjun Army due to the war, but he has files in the police system.

Therefore, at the invitation of Jin Yanxi, he served as the communications adjutant of the 10th Mixed Brigade and became the liaison between Jin Yanxi and Tan Wenjiang.

On this business trip, Jin Yanxi took Li Yunhe with him as a bodyguard. He was also accompanied by a platoon from the Rangers. The entire platoon was equipped with war horses, pistols, and sabers. They were very elite.

Jin Yanxi looked around and said: "Look, that's the Tuocheng wall, we're here."

Jin Dehai asked: "Master Qi, shall we enter the city now?"

Li Yunhe suggested: "We came too fast. The day after tomorrow is the wedding day of the eldest young master of the Gao family. Master Qi, would you like to go to the city and rent an inn and stay there."

Jin Yanxi agreed: "Okay, let's do it like this, enter the city."

The group of people led the horses slowly into Tuocheng, but what Jin Yanxi didn't know because she was far away in Tuocheng was that a farce closely related to Jin Yanxi was taking place in the capital.

……

Beijing·Jin Mansion·Main Hall.

Jin Yanxi is not at home, but this does not prevent Bai Xiuzhu from having fun. The former storyteller Fan Xiaofeng has a good reputation in the circle of women's families, so he has attracted many wives, aunts, and ladies who have friendships with Bai Xiuzhu.

Among them are Bai Xiuzhu's sister-in-law Mrs. Bai, Liu Yunfei's wife Mrs. Liu, Liu Chunjiang's wife Lin Jiani, Xu Shenyi's wife Mrs. Xu, and Zeng Muhan's wife Mrs. Zeng.

Fortunately, Bai Xiuzhu held a tea party. She set up a desk in the living room downstairs and arranged many seats in front of the table. In addition, she prepared a lot of refreshments for the female guests to drink.

The orioles and swallows are flying, and the flowers are in bloom. It goes without saying that this excitement is a big treat.

Of course, according to the rules, it is not convenient for male guests to join women's activities, so the young masters will not participate in such a good thing. And in this kind of meeting with foreign guests, the aunts and wives cannot show up without being invited separately, so Xiao Lian

In order to watch the show, she put on her maid's clothes again and served Wu Peifang. However, Tian Xiao'e didn't come because her three-inch golden lotus was not suitable for standing for a long time.

Jin Meili, who was watching the show during the period, saw Bai Xiuzhu and Jin Minzhi whispering, so she sat over.

Jin Meili asked: "What are you talking about? Are you talking about my seventh brother?"

Bai Xiuzhu replied: "Little thing, when you talk about what Yanxi does, we are talking about the United States."

Lin Jiani asked: "Xiuzhu, do you know what happened on my wedding day?"

Bai Xiuzhu replied: "Yanxi told me that I can't attend the wedding with my stomach. I'm sorry."

Lin Jiani expressed her thanks: "Jin Qiye's words touched Chun Jiang very much. It's only I who should thank you."

Bai Xiuzhu said: "There is no need to be polite between our two families."

Mrs. Bai gossiped: "Sister Xiuzhu, have you heard? That Wan Xiaoju who sang Pi Huang made big news a few days ago."

Bai Xiuzhu shook her head and said: "How could I know if I don't even leave the door now?"

Wu Peifang smiled and said: "As for the Liyuan business, just ask Yufen, she will definitely know."

Wang Yufen showed off: "I really know, but my mouth is a little dry."

Seeing that Wang Yufen was trying to show off her words, Wu Peifang stood up and picked up an empty tea bowl without any tea.

Wu Peifang said: "We are listening to a book right now. According to the rules in the Tianqiao Teahouse, let's chip in and give Yufen some money for tea."

As Wu Peifang spoke, she took out a large sum of money. Everyone also followed the example of the tea patrons who carried caged birds and happily took out a dollar. What is this? This is payment for knowledge.

Wang Yufen cleared her throat and said: "Everyone must have read about this in the newspaper, but it is a private matter, and the newspaper only knows a little about it. I also got the news from Yu Zilong's boss Yongsheng Club."

Mrs. Bai urged: "Yufen, there's no need to be so detailed, just tell me what happened."

Wang Yufen recounted: "Listen to me, it all started when Bai Yuting, the old lady of the Bai family, fell in love with Wan Xiaoju. As long as this old aunt was involved in Wan Xiaoju's scenes, she would always sit in the front row, holding her hand.

Holding the jewelry box in her hand, she shed tears while watching. When the play reached its climax, she was so excited that she threw jewelry on the stage to reward her. Later, she became more and more obsessed with Wan Xiaoju, even every time

After Wan Xiaoju finished singing, she went home and closed the door. She lingered in front of Wan Xiaoju's house for a long time alone. But she knew that Wan Xiaoju would not dare to make a mistake and marry an eldest lady as a concubine, so she spent the past few days

While Wan Xiaoju was going to perform in Tianjin and Hong Kong, she put on a wedding dress, sat in a sedan chair, and played and played along the way, making everyone know that Wan Xiaoju wanted to accept her as her fourth house star. Finally, when she arrived at Wan's house, guess what?

”

Cheng Huichang said anxiously: "Yufen, don't show off."

Bai Xiuzhu said anxiously: "Cousin, please tell me quickly."

Wang Yufen said: "When Wan Xiaoju accepted the Meng family, the second wife of the Wan family, she strongly opposed it. As soon as Bai Yuting came in, the Wan family immediately exploded, but no matter how much the three sisters wanted to object,

There was nothing I could do about it. Bai Yuting was so amazing. As soon as she entered the door, she lowered her profile and said that she was willing to be a concubine. She let the eldest sister beat and scolded her. She knelt on the ground with a thud and threatened that she would be a member of the Wan family in life and a member of the Wan family in death.

If the ghosts of the Wan family drive her away, she will be killed in the Wan family. In the end, there is no other way. Wang, the eldest wife of the Wan family, sees that the situation is over and is afraid that someone will be killed, so she accepts her as the little star."<

/p>

Cheng Huichang smiled and said: "It's so interesting. When Wan Xiaoju comes home and sees this, I don't know why she will be upset."

Wu Peifang sneered and said: "Huichang, you are wrong. Men, they will be reluctant to do such a good thing on the surface, but they are secretly happy in their hearts."

Bai Xiuzhu said arrogantly: "Humph, that Mrs. Wang is also a lackluster person. If this happens to me, I will let the waiter beat her mouth to pieces first, and then blast her out."

Bai Jiali pretended to be afraid and said: "Sister-in-law Qi, you are too cruel. I'd better stay away from you."

Seeing this little thing sitting several feet away in disgust, Bai Xiuzhu really wanted to rush up and hit her, but with her big belly, she had no choice but to do anything to her little bestie who was making faces.

Just when Bai Xiuzhu shook her head and smiled bitterly, thinking about how to complain to the second concubine He, a commotion occurred at the gate, interrupting the storyteller, and saw a woman in a wedding dress using a group of sedan bearers and the patrolman standing at the gate of the house.

Taking advantage of the stalemate, the woman rushed through the courtyard gate, bypassed the fountain pool in front of the gate, and entered the hall of Jin Mansion.

It seems that this woman has been planning for a long time. She understands the architectural layout of Jin Mansion, but that's all. This is no better than Wanzhai. Although Jin Quan has gone to the countryside and Jin Mansion has no military guards, he is not an ordinary person.

The only person who could get in easily was someone with Qinggong skills like Li Yunlong, so this woman was quickly stopped by the footmen.

It turned out that this woman was also Bai Jiali, the oldest daughter of the Bai family. When she saw that she was stopped by the footman, she knelt at the door of the hall and yelled that she wanted to see the seventh young lady.

Wu Peifang asked loudly: "What's going on?"

Jin Rong came forward and replied: "First Young Madam, a woman broke in outside the door and asked to see the Seventh Young Madam. She was kneeling at the door."

Wang Yufen said angrily: "Don't you see there are so many guests here? Why don't you drag me to the room and ask what's going on?"

Bai Xiuzhu said: "Don't deal with it in private. Tell people everything you have to say. Just bring her here and deal with it openly."

Wu Peifang agreed: "Okay."

Jin Rong obeyed: "Yes."

After a while, two footmen, Li Sheng and Jin Gui, brought Bai Jiali in. When she saw the only pregnant woman, she immediately confirmed who it was Bai Xiuzhu, and knelt down in the middle of the hall with a thud, and fell to the ground.

Seeing her clothes, Bai Xiuzhu had a premonition in her heart. After all, she was just gossiping about the old name of the Bai family. However, Bai Xiuzhu could understand her obsession with Jin Yanxi. This was really a mistake for her life once she saw Yanxi.

Bai Xiuzhu ordered: "Raise your head."

Bai Jiali raised her head and said, "Greetings to the seventh young lady. My name is Bai Jiali, and I am the second-room lady of the Bai family."

Bai Xiuzhu asked doubtfully: "You want to see me?"

Bai Jiali pleaded: "Thanks to the seventh young master of your house for saving my life, this little girl has no way to repay her, so she is willing to join the house as a concubine. I beg the seventh young master to grant her permission."

The words were so shocking that there was an immediate uproar. This was much more interesting than Fan Xiaofeng's storytelling, and even Bai Xiuzhu laughed angrily.

Bai Xiuzhu asked: "Look, this is still an infatuated woman, so why don't you go to Qi Ye first."

Bai Jiali replied: "Master Qi has already sternly rejected me, so I thought that Mistress Seven would be virtuous and kind, so I came to ask Mistress Seven."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was talking about it. This old woman from the Bai family was too shameless, but this was not a bad reputation for the Jin family. At least it was much better than the reputation of Jin Fengju who married the kiln sister.
