Bai Jinxiu nodded: "I only hope that the fifth aunt can get a man at one stroke! At least she can support the Bai family!"
When Bai Jinxiu mentioned the word "getting a boy", she couldn't help but think of the bastard from Qingmingyuan, and it stuck in her throat: "That bastard from my father... I've heard about the incident on Long Street. He's such a bastard! I'm afraid I can't count on him!"
Bai Qingyan didn't want to mention the concubine again, but said: "You don't need to take that concubine seriously, he won't cause any big trouble! It's God's will for the fifth aunt to have a boy or a girl, we can't force it! We need to plan for the worst outcome."
"What will my Bai family do in the future?" Bai Jinxiu choked.
"When grandpa... they come back, grandma will ask the emperor for permission for our family to return to our ancestral home in Shuoyang. Grandma will freely live in Qing'an Temple to worship Buddha on the grounds that I prayed for blessings during the Jin Dynasty. I will keep your third sister, Jintong, by my side. Grandma ordered the third sister to
Women disguise themselves as men and go out on business to secretly accumulate wealth for my Bai family..."
When Bai Jinxiu heard Bai Qing's confession, she was immediately frightened.
She tightened her hand with Bai Qingyan, her heart was quite confused, and her words became rash: "Returning the family to Shuoyang? I want to go back too! Qin Lang has moved out of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion... Shuoyang has outstanding people and a good place for studying!
I……"
Compared to staying in Dadu, Bai Jinxiu always feels that the sisters are together, which makes people feel more stable and warm.
She patted Bai Jinxiu's hand, stabilized Bai Jinxiu, and then shook her head: "Let's not mention that you are married to Qin Lang. Let's just talk about whether our Bai family... can return to Shuoyang safely. If it can be done safely,
Go back, here in the capital city... we must not be completely blind, do you understand what I mean?"
Bai Jinxiu was startled and vaguely noticed that Bai Qingyan seemed to be planning something: "Elder sister..."
Bai Qingyan squeezed Bai Jinxiu's hand hard: "This time, if the entire Bai family can return to Shuoyang, we need someone to run it in Dadu. You have always been showy and steady. With you in Dadu... eldest sister
Only then can you rest assured.”
Bai Jinxiu pursed her lips and suddenly understood what Bai Qingyan meant. The eldest sister was planning for the future of the Bai family. The Bai family's... retreat to Shuoyang was only temporary. The eldest sister would bring the Bai family back in the future!
Now that she knew that Bai Qingyan had plans, Bai Jinxiu would never be the one holding her back. She raised her eyes with a steady look and nodded: "Eldest sister, don't worry, Jinxiu will live up to her expectations and is waiting for her in the capital city."
return."
"Girl, my cousin is here!" Chuntao whispered outside the door.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxiu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, straightened her appearance and sat beside the stove with a carved copper cover.
"Let Chen Qingsheng come in." Bai Qingyan said.
Chen Qingsheng entered the door and saw Bai Jinxiu also there. He quickly saluted, lowered his head and did not dare to raise it: "Goodbye, eldest lady, hello, second girl."
Bai Qingyan sat next to the soft couch and asked without avoiding Bai Jinxiu: "Have you heard about what happened in front of the Duke's Mansion today?"
Chen Qingsheng had a bright eye and a clear heart. Since the eldest girl called him over, he did not avoid the second girl, so he must not be afraid that the second girl would know about it. He responded honestly: "I heard that, eldest girl, just tell me!"
She lowered her eyes and opened the lid of the gilt incense burner, holding a plain silver stick in her hand to stir the ashes of the incense burner, restraining the terrifying murderous intent in her eyes: "The words "willful military use" were passed down by King Xin
!The people behind the scenes dare to take action against my Bai family. They just hope that King Xin, who returned to the capital after the defeat, will blame the Bai family and then accuse the Bai family of killing the soldiers and their families, adding fuel to the flames and destroying the reputation of my Bai family. Since
Their attempt was unsuccessful, so the Bai family should do something next to let them know that since they have stirred up the water, it is not easy to calm down the situation. "
"Don't worry, eldest girl, the younger one knows what to do! They want to use rumors to attack our Duke's Palace, and our Duke's Palace can retaliate with teeth. The younger ones are good at this kind of thing and are familiar with the business! They will not let the eldest daughter down...
..." Chen Qingsheng assured.
Bai Qingyan closed the lid of the incense burner and looked at Chen Qingsheng solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work! Go and do your work!"
·
Bai Jinzhi led the stick, and although Lu Ping's men were merciful, it was still inevitable that his skin and flesh would be bruised.
Bai Jinzhi was a stubborn person and knew his mistake in his heart. He gritted his teeth and took the stick without saying a word. He walked back to the courtyard without letting anyone lift him up.
When Bai Jintong, the third girl who went to see Bai Jinzhi for the golden sore medicine, came in, she saw Bai Jinzhi lying on the soft couch secretly shedding tears. When she heard the door ring, she hurriedly lowered her head and gently wiped away her tears with a pillow.
"Eldest sister, ask Uncle Ping to be merciful. Your injury is considered minor." Bai Jintong cleaned his hands and sat down by the bed. He moved the brazier closer and lifted the quilt to apply medicine to Bai Jinzhi.
"Eldest sister punished you today, are you convinced?" Bai Jintong asked, looking at Bai Jinzhi who was lying there secretly shedding tears.
I don't know if Bai Jintong's hand was too heavy when applying the medicine. Bai Jinzhi stiffened and said in a muffled voice: "Yes, I know! I will change this habit of acting impulsively! I will act after making a decision in the future."
"Do you understand, what does the eldest sister mean when she says... be willful on the outside and be calm on the inside?" Bai Jintong deliberately reminded Bai Jinzhi.
Bai Jinzhi propped one arm on the pillow and turned back to look at Bai Jintong.
Bai Jintong applied the medicine for Bai Jinzhi, covered her with a quilt and wiped her hands with a towel as she said, "Sister, I have no intention of letting you change your behavior! Others say that the outer circle is the way to live in the world, but you can do the opposite.
Go ahead! Everyone in the capital knows that you are chivalrous and impulsive. If you can use this to disguise yourself as a pig and eat a tiger, you will be able to do things that others cannot, and others will not be wary of a person who has no ambitions.
"
When Bai Jinzhi heard the words "Xinwuchengfu", he almost got angry and frowned.
"It doesn't matter what outsiders think of you, as long as you know who you are in your heart, and that you are the fourth girl of the Bai family of the Zhenguo Palace! Since we don't have the great wisdom of counselors, we need to be more cautious and steady internally, making decisions before we act.
.The outer square...the inner circle, if you know it well, you will be able to do a lot, just understand what you should do!"
"Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sunken boat, and thousands of trees grow in front of the diseased tree! Although the boys of the Bai family are gone, there is still the eldest sister...and us! Although we are women, we must hold up the lintel of the Bai family! I, the Bai family,
The body may die, but... the spirit cannot be destroyed, the bones cannot be broken, and the spirit cannot be suppressed!"
Bai Jintong's eyes, which were very similar to Bai Qingyan's, turned red. He raised his hand and pinched Bai Jinzhi's shoulders: "Third sister knows that none of the Bai family, from the grandfather to the seventeenth younger brother, can come back. You are scared and at a loss.
, I also hate those young people who intend to slander my grandfather! In fact, the third sister is just like you! But now my Bai family is in danger and crumbling. We cannot be afraid or chaotic, let alone vent our anger like a reckless man! We must give
My eldest aunt and elder sister help me and don’t cause any trouble.”
Bai Jinzhi's eyes filled with tears when her thoughts were exposed. Thinking about what happened today that almost caused a catastrophe to the Bai family, shame crept into her heart and she clenched the sheets tightly: "Third sister, don't worry! Jinzhi knows!"
