Bai Jinxiu saw that the scabbard was all white and the sword was engraved with the Bai family's totem. She stood up suddenly and walked quickly to the brocade box. She carefully took out the sword and held it in her hand. Her heartbeat was very fast: "Qingfeng Sword?!"
This is the heirloom sword of the Bai family!
When the eldest sister returned from the battlefield injured and lost her marriage to the Zhongyong Marquis, my grandfather was worried that the eldest sister would be in trouble and never marry, and he was also afraid that his sister-in-law would not be able to tolerate the eldest sister, so he specially passed on the heirloom sword to the eldest sister.
Bai Qingyan tucked Bai Jinxiu's broken hair behind her ears and whispered softly: "Mrs. Hou of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion is the stepmother of the prince. It is inevitable that there will be bumps in the relationship. Remember, you don't have to compromise in everything. Behind you is the Duke of Zhenguo.
Mansion."
In the previous life, Bai Jinxiu died on the day of her wedding and was unable to marry into the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. Later, Qin Lang, the prince of Zhongyong Hou, married the soft-tempered second daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs. She was bullied by her mother-in-law and her aunt Ling Shumo and died of illness before she was thirty.
Listening to Bai Qingyan's thoughtful words, Bai Jinxiu, who was originally worried about marrying into a strange environment, burst into tears.
Bai Qingyan took out the handkerchief to wipe Bai Jinxiu's tears, but Bai Jinxiu held her hand. She took a step closer to Bai Qingyan, lowered her voice and said seriously: "His Royal Highness, Prince Liang, is deeply devoted to the eldest sister, and he will definitely cherish her."
My sister protects my eldest sister, and eldest sister must not miss out on a good marriage!"
Bai Qingyan thought of her previous life, Bai Jinxiu, who asked Prince Liang to protect her and not betray her in this life. Thousands of emotions surged into her heart, and her eyes turned red: "Hurry up and put on your makeup!"
At this time, the sound of firecrackers came from the door of the mansion.
Bai Qingyan raised her head and glanced outside the partition, stroking the teacup with her fingers.
"Oh, what can we do? The second girl hasn't finished dressing up yet!"
"The young master of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion is too anxious. How come he is half an hour earlier than the originally scheduled wedding time?"
"Ah! I can't find the earring..."
"Where's the hijab?! The hijab can't be found either!"
In the boudoir, the maids and nuns were in a mess, pushing and shoving around looking for things.
Sure enough, just like in the previous life, Zhongyong Hou arrived half an hour early to welcome his bride. The cousins who had originally been arranged by the elders to stop the door were probably gambling money in a remote place.
But it doesn't matter, Bai Qingyan has arranged for his fourth sister Bai Jinzhi to lay out the chessboard and wait at the main entrance. Today, they can't let Bai Jinxiu go out an hour early... and lose his life.
At this time, the groom, Qin Lang, the eldest son of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, dismounted at the front door of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. The young and handsome young man was very handsome, and he must have been beaming with joy at a happy event.
The marriage of a daughter to the Duke of Zhenguo and the marriage of Zhongyong to the Marquis of Zhongyong have been the most popular events in the capital city in recent years. The famous dandies in the capital city all followed Qin Lang to welcome the bride and join in the fun.
"Seventeen men from the Duke's Mansion in this town have gone to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang. It's so easy for us, Erlang Qin, to get married!" Lu Yuanpeng, the youngest grandson of the Right Prime Minister Lu Mansion, shouted.
Because Bai Qingyan's grandfather Zhen Guo Gong and grandmother eldest princess are still alive, and the eldest princess does not live in the princess's palace but in Zhen Guo Gong's palace, out of filial piety, the Bai family has not divided their families and mansions, so the Bai family has grandchildren.
The title of a seventeen-year-old son.
Lu Yuanpeng was usually close to the Seventeenth Lang of the Bai family, and he was not shy about joking. He shouted: "Everyone! Everyone... they all say that the Bai family army of Zhen Guogong is invincible. Entering and leaving enemy territory is like entering an uninhabited land. We are here today to suppress the enemy."
Welcoming a bride in the Duke's Mansion, I also experience what it's like to be in a deserted place... Everyone, rush forward! We're trying to steal the bride!"
People outside the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion burst into laughter, and then followed Lu Yuanpeng's command to rush in.
Unexpectedly, before anyone could rush in, they saw the well-trained maids and servants of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion blocking the main entrance of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion like private soldiers. This formation shocked all the young masters.
"Is the Duke's Mansion planning to send a maid to stop me from waiting?" Lu Yuanpeng looked at the formation and said blankly.
After a moment, the four girls from the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, who were dressed in horseback riding attire and looked heroic, came out from behind a group of maids with riding whips in hand. Their hands were full of charm and pride behind their backs.
"Everyone in the Zhenguo Palace, listen to the order!" Bai Jinzhi raised the whip in his hand.
"Listen to the order of the fourth girl!" The maids and nurses of the Zhenguo Palace responded in unison, as neatly and orderly as an army, which shocked all the dandy boys who came to welcome the bride.
"Sister, you have your destiny. There is no need to show mercy to those who force their way into the Duke's Mansion. Don't let anyone bully me that there are no men in the Duke's Mansion!" Bai Jinzhi waved his whip to scare away a group of dandies who were about to rush forward to welcome the bride. His long whip broke through the air.
The inexplicable sound makes people awe-inspiring.
The Duke's Mansion is indeed the backbone of the country, and even the daughter's family has a strong and heroic attitude.
Qin Lang, the prince of Zhongyong Hou, stepped forward and bowed to Bai Jinzhi, the fourth girl, and saluted: "The four girls misunderstood that the Duke of Zhen Guo is the pillar of our country. We are singing and dancing in the capital city and it is all because of the Duke Zhen Guo who went to the frontier to bathe in blood. Even if we wait no longer
You bastard, you dare not lie to me that there are no men in the Duke's palace! I hope the fourth girl will raise her hand and let us in!"
"That's good!" Bai Jinzhi still looked so arrogant and flamboyant. She put away her whip and said, "Someone bring out the chessboard!"
The servant of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion carefully carried out a chess game and placed it with the chess pieces at the door.
The fourth girl, Bai Jinzhicai, said: "My eldest sister said that in the home of the Bai family, which has been home to military commanders for generations, the chessboard is like a battlefield... Only if Prince Qin's wedding team can break the chessboard can they be qualified to marry my second sister!"
Outside the door, Bai Jinzhi blocked the door forcefully. In the boudoir, Bai Qingyan leaned over to put on Bai Jinxiu's earrings and said, "Don't worry, even if my grandfather and second uncle are not here, our Zhenguo Palace will not let Zhongyong Hou Mansion be our Bai family."
No one has looked down upon you."
"Eldest sister! Eldest sister!" Bai Jinzhi hurried in, gasped and dropped a piece on the chessboard, fanning the wind with his hand, "Eldest sister, Qin Lang made a move here, everyone cheered, is it broken?
"
Calculating that the time had not passed the time when King Liang was assassinated, Bai Qingyan handed the teacup in her hand to Bai Jinzhi, wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, and then stood in front of the chessboard and looked at the position of Qin Lang's white stone.
Bai Jinzhi drank the tea like a cow and stretched his neck to get close to Bai Qingyan, wanting to see where Bai Qingyan made his move.
Qin Lang placed the white stone in this position, not only avoiding many traps on the chessboard, but also not rushing in blindly. It can not only stabilize the white stone's advantage, but also help the overall situation of the white stone. At first glance, the whole chess game... The next move of the black stone will not matter.
Nowhere can the situation of defeat be restored.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Qingyan pressed his sleeve with his left hand, leaned over and picked up a black piece from the chess box, and dropped it...
When Bai Jinzhi saw the position of Bai Qingyan's placement, he turned around and rushed to the gate of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, where he placed a black stone on the chessboard according to Bai Qingyan's position.
Everyone outside was screaming... As the sunspot fell, the situation changed drastically. The sunspot came with such force that it swallowed up the mountains and rivers, and killed half of the white ones in an instant.
"Wonderful!" Lu Yuanpeng exclaimed, "This sunspot is like a surprise weapon descended from heaven. It is so cunning! The killing trend is reversed in an instant. It is so cruel and horrifying! May I ask who is holding the sunspot in the Zhenguo Palace?"
"My eldest sister." Bai Jinzhi looked proud.
For a moment, everyone thought of the young lady from the Zhenguo Palace...the only girl whose name had the same character as "Qing" as the man in the palace.
When Qin Lang heard that it was Bai Qingyan holding Heizi, he was in a daze.
