Later, the servants of Dingyonghou Mansion protected the housekeeper of Dingyonghou Mansion and squeezed out from the crowd. The housekeeper saluted and said: "Madam, eldest lady, this old slave is the housekeeper of Dingyonghou Mansion. My Lord Hou asked me to take him
The prepared coffin was pulled over by a horse-drawn carriage. The prince and the generals have made great contributions to the coffin, so it will not be out of order when used."
"Thank you Marquis Dingyong for me!" Mrs. Dong saluted with Bai Qingyan.
"My Marquis and the Duke of Zhen have known each other since they were young, and that's right! Madam, my condolences, eldest lady." The housekeeper bowed.
Seeing that their coffins were within the regulations and that the Bai family could use them, almost all the families sent their coffins over.
Dong took the people to personally select the available ones and had them carried into the Duke's Mansion. He ordered Butler Hao and the stewards of the White Mansion to come to the door one by one to thank them. The remaining ones that were no longer needed were thanked and sent back politely.
Madam Dong originally wanted to watch setting up the canopy and decorating the mourning hall in the yard, but Bai Qingyan persuaded her to go back and rest. There were still a lot of things waiting for Madam Dong. Anyone in the Bai family could fall, except the eldest princess and Madam Dong.
Can't fall down.
She stood in the courtyard and stared at the people working together to put up the canopy. She looked at the more than 20 coffins, feeling a mixture of sorrow and hatred in her heart, and pain in her heart and eyes.
In the last life, only her grandfather, fifth uncle and her cousin Bai Qingming came back. Xiaoqi's body was left, while the other male members of her Bai family stayed in southern Xinjiang.
I don’t know if this life will have the same ending.
When Chen Qingsheng came back from outside the mansion, he happened to see Bai Qingyan standing on the porch and walked over quickly.
Chuntao saw her cousin and whispered to Bai Qingyan: "Girl...my cousin is here!"
"Big girl!" Chen Qingsheng saluted with a white face.
Bai Qingyan turned around and saw Chen Qingsheng saluting, and said, "No need to be polite."
"Sister, when I returned home just now, I met the waiter who was left by Manjianglou to look after the store. The waiter said... someone asked him about my identity. After thinking about it, I went to find someone who had been asked to deliver a message to Xiao Mansion.
As expected, the beggar said that someone found him, cut off one of his thumbs and asked him where the letter came from, and he told the truth... I saw the shopkeeper of Manjiang Tower greeting the little boy that day!" Chen Qingsheng looked up with sweat.
He rolled his eyes at Qingyan, then lowered his head hurriedly, "This is a small oversight, please punish me, girl!"
Bai Qingyan tightened her palms. She knew how powerful Xiao Rongyan was in her last life. After all, Chen Qingsheng was still young and lacked experience. It was already good to be able to do this.
"Get up!" Bai Qingyan pursed her lips, "We may not necessarily find you here. If someone asks you, just say that someone also gave you money to do this. Are you afraid of giving it to the Duke?
The government is in trouble, so you ask a beggar for help. It doesn’t matter! You are from the Duke’s government, so those people must not dare to use any thunderous means to force you to question you."
Chen Qingchang breathed a long sigh of relief: "I understand, little one! From now on, little one will be more cautious in doing things, so as not to cause trouble to the older girl."
Chen Qingsheng is a smart man, and he knows that Bai Qingyan promoted him because of his abilities. If he can't handle small things well, then he is not worthy of staying with the eldest girl and doing his bidding.
She held the hand stove tightly, called Chen Qingsheng's name, and walked a few steps towards a remote place. Chen Qingsheng understood and quickly followed.
Just listen to Bai Qingyan speak slowly: "After the affairs at the Duke's residence are settled, my grandmother will take the three girls to the temple to pray for blessings for the Kingdom of Jin. The blessing... is a cover, and the three girls want to dress up as women.
The man wears anonymity and goes out to do business to show off her talents. I plan to let you go out with the third girl to practice for a few years."
After hearing this, Chen Qingsheng was slightly shocked for a moment. Since the eldest princess supported such an unorthodox thing as a woman disguising herself as a man and going out to do business, it was a big deal. If she wasn't a close confidant, how could she dare to admit it?!
Chen Qingsheng, who has always been keen, understands that the eldest daughter treats her heart to heart, and he is already regarded by the eldest daughter as one of his own. Otherwise, how could such a secret be easily told to him?
Chen Qingsheng was filled with excitement. He calmed down and knelt down to express his loyalty: "You can trust me if you are a big girl. I will be ashamed of myself if you are a little girl."
She turned her head and looked at Chen Qingsheng and warned: "Be more cautious in doing things in the future, I can trust you!"
"I understand, little one! Thank you, Miss, for promoting me!" Chen Qingsheng kowtowed.
"Go back and get ready! You should know what to tell your parents!" she said.
"I understand, little one!"
Early in the morning, Dong Changyuan, who had been up all night, heard that his uncle Dong Qingping and his father Dong Qingyue had returned to the house. He hurried over to inquire about the situation. He learned that all the men in the Zhenguo Palace had sacrificed their lives for the country. Dong Changyuan was filled with fear and thought of the Bai family again.
The cousin, who was as gentle as jade, couldn't sit still.
He was full of lawsuits, guessing how panicked Bai Qingyan must be? Her body was already weak and weak, and when the Bai family was in such a catastrophe, how much suffering must she have suffered? Was she so frightened, so grief-stricken that she shed tears?!
The uneasy Dong Changyuan came over immediately. Before he stepped into the main entrance of Bai Mansion, he saw Bai Qingyan standing in the corridor wearing plain white mourning clothes and talking to Chen Qingsheng. Dong Changyuan stood on a white silk lantern with the word "Dian" on it.
Get off, wait and watch quietly.
Bai Qingyan did not shed tears as he had expected, and was so sad that she was bedridden. Although her face looked tired and her eyes were red, her eyebrows were clear, and she even ordered her servants to act in a clear and logical manner, which shows her tenacity.
As the clouds broke through at dawn, the morning light filtered through the mist and gradually fell on the strong-spirited woman. The Bai family suddenly encountered a catastrophic disaster. She was sad but not sad. The pain was hidden in her heart without any hesitation. The obviously weak woman was
She is as tough as Bisi and has strong inner strength. It seems that no amount of damage can break her or knock her down.
Before Dong Changyuan came, all the comforting words he had filled with him dissipated in his chest.
He has forgotten that even though his cousin looks weak, she has been on the battlefield and defeated the enemy! Her courage, iron bones, and firm will are hard to match for the men in the splendid bookshelf like them.
.
From the corner of her eye, Chunyan saw Dong Changyuan standing at the front door of Bai's house. She hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Bai Qing: "Miss, the young master is here!"
She turned around and saw Dong Changyuan bowing to her to the end and returning the favor with a slight blessing.
Dong Changyuan stood in front of Bai Qingyan, his lips pursed for a long time and he said: "If... there is something that Changyuan can do with his little power, please don't let my cousin see it."
She looked at the canopy that had been erected in the courtyard and said: "Cousin Changyuan, please spend more time with my grandmother on behalf of my mother and me! She finally came to Dadu to celebrate the New Year, but my mother and I can't be with her."
Dong Changyuan nodded and looked at the silent woman in front of him again: "Cousin, my condolences!"
"Eldest sister!" The fourth girl, Bai Jinzhi, rushed over with the wind at her feet. After bowing her hands to Dong Changyuan in a hasty manner, she lowered her voice and whispered in Bai Qingyan's ear, "Eldest sister, grandma is vomiting blood!"
