"Sir, please speak up! The younger one will die without mercy!" Chen Qingsheng said hurriedly.
She raised her eyes and looked at Chen Qingsheng, and spoke slowly: "There may be reports of battles from southern Xinjiang coming back tonight. Bring more people to guard the city gate. Once you see the reports of the battles coming back with the arrows inserted eight hundred miles away, be sure to
Let the people in the capital know about it, and find a way to attract them to the gate of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion."
Since ancient times in the Jin Dynasty, if there is a good news, the messenger will shout good news about the war situation when entering the capital city gate, so that the people know and celebrate.
If it is bad news, the messenger will submit the military report after entering the palace and being interviewed.
If the general dies, the palace will send someone to notify the general's family to prepare for the funeral.
After Bai Qing's words, the people in the entire metropolis are now extremely concerned about the Bai family and the war situation in southern Xinjiang. If the messenger enters the city without reporting it, and if anyone is willing to guide him... the people will come to the gate of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to wait for the palace.
Send someone to report the war situation to the town government.
When the news came that all the men in the Bai family had died, she wanted the people of the capital city to see with their own eyes how far the Bai family had gone to protect the Jin Dynasty. She wanted the people to see the tragedy of the Bai family... and share the sorrow with the Bai family!
In this way, as long as the emperor takes some action against the Bai family, it will definitely arouse public resentment.
The emperor always loved false reputations. As long as he was wary of the official writings of historians and feared the overwhelming resentment of the people, he would not dare to attack the widow of the Bai family even if he wanted to eradicate the roots.
Although Chen Qingsheng didn't know what Bai Qingyan was going to do, he still nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, young lady."
"There is another thing. You should try your best to check it out. It doesn't matter if you are not sure." She looked at the red plums in the snow not far away and said, "Two months ago, Marquis Zhongyong was responsible for preparing the grain and grass sent to southern Xinjiang.
Whose hands did it pass through? I want to know the name."
Chen Qingsheng was very surprised when the matter involved the court, but because he knew that this batch of grain and grass was probably related to the war in southern Xinjiang, he agreed without thinking: "Don't worry, I will live up to my mission!"
·
The sky is not yet completely dark on New Year's Eve, and bright fireworks are already blooming in the sky.
Bai Qingyan stood on the porch, quietly looking up at the sky, waiting for the news to come back.
Chuntao, whose eyes were red, took a thick cloak and walked behind Bai Qingyan, put it on for her and said: "Miss, my cousin has personally led people to guard the city gate according to your instructions, but at this time, the capital city
The city gates have been closed. I'm afraid there will be no news today. It's useless for you to think too much! It's better to go to the eldest princess's place for New Year's Eve dinner first..."
"Let's go!" Bai Qingyan gathered her cloak, held Chuntao's hand, and stepped out of the gate of Qinghui Courtyard surrounded by a group of low-brow girls.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he saw Bai Jintong standing alone at the entrance of Qinghui Courtyard, looking up at the fireworks in the sky in trance.
About time he heard the sound of the courtyard door opening, Bai Jintong came back to his senses, took two steps and walked up to Bai Qingyan, opening his mouth in a hoarse voice: "Sister..."
She raised her hand to brush away the fallen snow on Bai Jintong's shoulders, and smiled at Bai Jintong with her lips raised: "Wait for me here?"
Bai Jintong nodded, his red eyes almost unable to hold back tears, and he hurriedly lowered his head to cover it up.
She just remembered that last year, the town government palace was brightly lit and full of prosperity because of the large number of people and children. Servants, maids and servants were busy coming in and out of the corner gate, and there was noisy laughter everywhere.
The adults were drinking and chatting happily while she, Bai Jinzhi, Xiao Qi and a group of children carried lanterns and made noise in Bai Qingyan's Qinghui Courtyard. Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu sat on the porch, chatting and laughing, creating a prosperous and vibrant scene.
.
This year, the entire Town Government Mansion is still brightly lit, but... the maids and maids do not even dare to speak loudly because their master is in a bad mood. Without the noise of play, the Government Mansion is so quiet that it makes people feel deserted.
Knowing that Bai Jintong was feeling uncomfortable, she smiled and held Bai Jintong's cold hand: "Let's go..."
Looking at the calm and calm Bai Qingyan, Bai Jintong felt that the eldest sister seemed to be full of the power of not being scared or fearful, and her heart calmed down: "Okay..."
She and Bai Jintong had just taken two steps when they saw Bai Jinxiu and Bai Jinzhi who had arrived at Qinghui Courtyard by chance.
Bai Jinxiu and Bai Jinzhi also came to Bai Qingyan to find their backbone.
The four sisters stood facing each other. Bai Jinxiu, with red eyes, smiled softly under her handkerchief: "What a coincidence, we all came to look for the eldest sister."
The flaming red lanterns reflected the four girls' tearful and smiling faces in the snow, which was both heartwarming and uncomfortable.
"Let's go! Go to grandma's place..." Bai Qingyan's voice was heavier and more determined than usual.
Chuntao stepped forward to support Bai Qingyan and warned softly: "It's snowy and the road is slippery. Four girls, please be careful where you step."
Bai Jinxiu saw Bai Qingyan already raising her feet and moving forward, her eyes were dim with tears, and she whispered softly: "With the eldest sister leading the way, no matter how slippery it is... we are not afraid."
There is nothing to be afraid of in the wind and snow all the way, sisters just work together and move forward.
Bai Jintong nodded, grabbed Bai Jinxiu's outstretched hand, choked with sobs and could not speak.
"We sisters walk together, we have nothing to fear!" Bai Jinzhi wiped away her tears, quickly caught up with Bai Qingyan, and walked side by side with Bai Qingyan.
Her eyes were blurred by the mist. In her past life, she walked alone. With her sisters by her side in this life, what should she fear? No matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would have no fear! Bai Qingyan dared to go through mountains of swords, seas of fire, and lava and fire.
As soon as she entered the eldest princess' longevity courtyard, the little girl who was guarding the door of the upper room of the longevity courtyard suddenly pointed to the sky: "What is that?!"
She turned around and saw a bright light slowly rising in the sky, followed closely...the second light, the third light, the fourth light...
Under the splendid fireworks exploding all over the sky, countless bright lanterns rose into the sky, turning the entire night sky into a sea of warm fire. Written on the lanterns were "Return in triumph", "Return to court victorious", "Victory in every battle", "Return safely".
” and other words.
The Zhenguo Mansion, which had been dead silent just now, suddenly became lively. The girls and servants stopped what they were doing and crowded in the corridor and courtyard to watch the lights in the sky. The orange light made people feel warm in their hearts.
Bai Qingyan turned around and told Chun Xing beside him: "Go and ask what's going on?"
Before Chun Xing left, she saw the old lady at the door hurriedly coming. She saw several girls standing at the door. She smiled and said: "Big girl, second girl, third girl, fourth girl! The people are touched by the loyalty and bravery of our Bai family."
, I spontaneously put up lanterns in the long streets and courtyards to pray for the Bai family troops who are far away in southern Xinjiang."
Hearing this, her throat rolled up and she choked with sobs. She handed the stove to Chuntao and bowed her head solemnly to the end... to express her gratitude to the people in the capital city.
Who says heroes are not remembered? The people who have been protected by the Bai family for generations remember the Bai family!
In the previous life, the Bai family did too much and said too little, so they were forgotten...
Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jintong, and Bai Jinzhi followed closely behind with tears in their eyes, and they also bowed deeply to the bright lights in the sky.
The sudden noisy laughter of the servants of the Zhenguo Palace finally alerted the elders in the upper room of the longevity courtyard.
