Qin Mansion, Qin Mo Sheng has been restless these days.
She didn't wait for the Flame God to appear, and kept sending people to keep an eye on the Bai Mansion, but there was no movement at all.
Even Bai Yan never came back, which made her very angry.
"Miss, Bai Yan is back." The maid ran in happily.
"Coming back at this time, it seems that you are determined to compromise." Qin Mosheng showed a smile.
"Miss, the people I sent came back and told me that as soon as Bai Yan came back, the whole mansion was in turmoil." The maid told all the news she got.
Qin Mo Sheng was stunned for a while: "You said Bai Yan knocked out Bai Sheng, drove away the housekeeper, and divorced his stepmother? Is he crazy?"
The first two things were not too surprising to her. Who said that Bai Yan was a dandy? But stepmother Xiu, this was the first time in the Daqian Dynasty. Only a madman could do such a thing.
"Yes, Bai Yan is becoming more and more lawless. Miss, you must not marry her." The maid nodded repeatedly.
Dowry maids like her usually have to marry each other. She still wants to be the woman of the God of Fire, but she doesn't want to be ruined by a dandy.
"Even if Your Majesty doesn't grant marriage, I will not marry him. I am now a married woman, Shui Qin!" Qin Mo Sheng snorted coldly.
"Miss, there is no news about Yan Shen right now. And your engagement with Bai Yan has not been canceled after all..." the maid said hesitantly.
"The Flame God will definitely come to me. He must be entangled in something. As for the engagement, even if he doesn't want to take the initiative, it's not up to him. He openly threatened to divorce his stepmother. This is unfaithful and unfilial. This is the best excuse. Tomorrow, I will find a way to terminate my engagement with him in public." Qin Mosheng gritted his teeth and said.
"Miss, what if he doesn't come?" the maid worried.
"Then you send him a special invitation, in my own name, inviting all the young ladies to come. He loves fun so much, he will not fail to come," Qin Mo Sheng said.
"Miss is smart."
The maid's eyes lit up, and she hurried to prepare the invitation, and then sent it to the Bai Mansion in person.
"A special invitation for me? You're worried that I won't go." Bai Yan looked at the invitation and sneered.
"The eldest young master is so good, but Miss Qin really has no vision. She actually listened to the rumors outside, despised the eldest young master, and even broke off the engagement. It's really abominable. Young master, please don't go tomorrow. Let's see what she can do!" Xiao Cui fumed angrily. said.
"If I don't go, she won't give up. Now that she's back, I'll go for a walk tomorrow," Bai Yan said.
He didn't want to go at first, but since Qin Mosheng was like this, he went for a walk.
In the early morning, Bai Yan got up early, took a shower, put on a brand new dress, and walked out of the house.
"Young Master, Madam, she left the ancestral hall in the name of the Qin Mansion's invitation and was going to the Qin Mansion to attend a banquet. I dare not stop her."
The newly appointed housekeeper hurried over to report.
"The child is still lying on the bed, and this woman wants to make trouble, so let her do it." Bai Yan sneered.
The butler breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left and ran to the main hall.
"The young master has gone out? Have you told him?" Bai Jinghao asked.
The invitation from the Qin Mansion would not be justified on the surface if he didn't bring his wife. But he was worried that Bai Yan would cause trouble, so he sent the housekeeper to ask.
"The eldest young master said that he doesn't care. Master, the eldest young master is much more sensible than before." The housekeeper responded quickly.
"When did the young master become ignorant?" Bai Jinghao's smiling eyes narrowed into slits.
He had already thought about it. At worst, he would compromise with the Qin family and propose to break off the engagement.
He couldn't pave the way for Bai Yan, but he couldn't avenge Bai Yan either. With the strength of the Bai family, they couldn't afford to offend a prefect.
Bai Yan has changed so much. It's not a big deal for him to suffer some grievances for Bai Yan. In his study, there is also an account book submitted by Lucheng Bank, and it is marked that it was produced under the leadership of Bai Yan.
In the Qin Mansion, all the servants are busy, decorating with lights and cleaning the manor.
Qin Mo Sheng was wearing a light red Suzhou embroidered dress and a golden phoenix walking wave on her head. Her face was covered in makeup and her red lips were like blazing flames. She was dressed more delicately than in the past.
It's just that her hair is pulled up in a bun, which makes her look less like a girl and more like a newly married young woman.
"Sheng'er, what are you dressed up like?" Qin Zhifu frowned slightly.
"Father, I am already a married woman, so there is nothing wrong with dressing up like this. But father, if the Bai family still refuses to compromise today, what are you going to do?" Qin Mosheng asked.
Magistrate Qin laughed: "Do you know why the banquet is scheduled for today? My father has carefully calculated it. If nothing happens, the imperial edict will arrive today, and the marriage will most likely be granted."
"Marriage? That's great." Qin Mosheng almost jumped up with joy, ran forward and gave his father a hug.
"You are already getting married, how can you behave like this if you are so crazy? Guests will come soon, but you have to pay attention to your appearance." Qin Zhifu warned.
"Don't worry, father, my daughter will definitely be the most beautiful today. I am the woman of the God of Fire now, so I can't lose the face of the God of Fire." Qin Mosheng smiled proudly.
Magistrate Qin shook his head and said nothing.
"Admiral Zhao Tianhao is here to give you a famous painting!"
"Master Chu Jian, the censor of Yanzhou Dao, has arrived and sent a congratulatory gift."
...
At this moment, a servant's shout came from outside the door.
Magistrate Qin quickly straightened his clothes and stood up to greet him.
Today I congratulated him on his promotion and sent out many invitations.
In addition to Yanzhou City, some nearby prefectures, magistrates, and wealthy businessmen will also come.
The admiral is in charge of the troops and horses, and the censor is in charge of the entire Yanzhou Road, and Yanzhou City is just a main city under the Yanzhou Road.
In terms of rank, the imperial censor is one level higher than the prefect. How dare he neglect him?
Afterwards, people arrived one after another, and the originally empty mansion suddenly became lively.
The carriages at the door formed a long queue, and the county magistrate and merchants were not even qualified to enter the main hall.
A group of common people were looking around. Except for the last time the Ming Emperor went on a personal expedition, Yanzhou City had rarely seen so many big figures gather together.
When Bai Yan arrived, he was drowned in the crowd, and there was no one to greet him.
"The people in the Qin Mansion are too powerful. The eldest young master is engaged to Miss Qin, but he doesn't even receive her." Acheng was indignant and dissatisfied.
"There are so many big names today, who am I? It's best if no one cares about us." Bai Yan said nonchalantly.
"Brother Bai Yan, you came so early?"
A shout came, and Bai Yan turned around to look. It was his former friend and a famous playboy in Yanzhou City, Xu Sang.
