If different people do the same thing, the results will naturally be different.
When Bai Ling took someone out to beat someone up, he would only praise her for protecting her sisters, and the county boss was different from ordinary ladies and knew the laws of the court.
If Bai Wei did this today, she would only have a reputation as a shrewd person, which is why Bai Ling didn't let her follow her out.
"I am going to the capital this time. I may not be able to come back until the New Year. You can stay here. If I come back late, you can go home with your younger brother and cousin to celebrate the New Year."
After Bai Ling finished handling the matters at hand, he sat down with Bai Wei and talked.
"It's not your fault for what happened before, and you shouldn't have any psychological burden. Our family is not the farmer we used to be that anyone could trample on. I dare not say that about other places. In the boundaries of Zixiao City, especially in Zidong City, as long as you
If you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, the second sister will take care of you if anything happens. When I'm not around, you can also go to the prefect for help. At worst, you can wait until the second sister comes back to make up for the favor."
Bai Wei thought she was going to be punished, but she didn't expect Bai Ling to say such words.
When Bai Ling was attracted by the county magistrate, although Bai Wei was on the second sister's side, she still blamed her for bringing trouble to the family.
Even if this thought just passed through my mind, I still feel guilty now.
"Second sister, don't you blame me? I almost caused trouble for the family. If you hadn't had a relationship with the prefect's backyard, our family would have been implicated by me." Bai Wei has always been stubborn, but this is
I feel really sad.
But what’s more, it’s the grievances that I only dare to express after being defended by my relatives.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, but you have learned to cry, and you are stronger than my little sister."
After pinching the tip of Bai Wei's nose hard, Bai Ling warned seriously:
"Second sister, let me tell you one last time, as long as the prefect of Zidong City does not change, you can do what you want to do. The daughters of our Bai family are not the ladies of the world. They do not need to be raised in the backyard. The worst is
No one comes to ask for marriage, it’s just a son-in-law, my parents are mentally prepared, what are you afraid of?"
"Second sister!" Bai Wei threw herself into Bai Ling's arms and cried loudly for a while, feeling relieved.
What happened this time was not Bai Wei's fault, but the first time I experienced it, I was always scared, angry, and helpless.
It was also this incident that made Bai Wei realize how difficult it was for Bai Ling to support herself outside. She was really inferior to her second sister, even though their age difference was only less than an hour.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I heard that eldest sister is getting engaged? To whom? Do I know him? How is he?" Bai Ling deliberately changed the topic, fearing that Bai Wei would finish crying and not come back to the stage.
But Bai Ling is really concerned about this matter, but he can't go home for the time being, so it would be better to ask Bai Wei.
In addition, Shangguan Yu wanted to ask someone to propose marriage, so he couldn't go past his eldest sister. It was best to let Baicao get engaged first.
"Even Brother Yang Fan, I don't know how they see each other. But when Brother Yang Fan proposes marriage, my parents are both happy and afraid that the eldest sister is not good enough for him. The eldest sister has not even nodded now. These are all the things my father did last time
I told you when I came here to deliver the things, but I didn’t see any signs of it when I was at home..."
When Bai Wei said this, her eyes immediately brightened, and she forgot all about the unhappy things.
And Bai Ling also tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember anything unusual, but he didn't think there was anything unexpected about the two of them being together.
I just thought to myself, write a letter to my eldest sister before leaving.
For the sake of her sister's happiness, I think the eldest sister will definitely sacrifice her life for righteousness. After the two become husband and wife, she won't be afraid of being unable to untie the knot.
It's not that Bai Ling has to force Baicao to marry, but her intuition is that Yang Fan is a responsible man, and Baicao will be happy if she really marries him, which is better than marrying blindly and dumbly.
After all, Baicao is still young, so he can't stay for the Wang family for the rest of his life, right?
And Yang Fan is Shangguan Yu's subordinate. With this relationship, Baicao's happiness is not guaranteed.
Bai Wei didn't know Bai Ling's thoughts, let alone Bai Ling's engagement, otherwise she wouldn't gossip about Bai Cao, but would ask about Bai Ling's feelings.
After settling things in Zidong City and taking away the necessary things, Bai Ling was going to the capital with the imperial envoy.
As for the gift of thanks from the magistrate, Bai Shao will arrange for someone to send it to them after they leave. It is not good to send gifts when the imperial envoy is there, as that will lead to enmity.
"Don't be upset. The second sister will definitely take you with me next time I go to the capital." Before Bai Ling left, he promised Bai Wei, thinking that she also wanted to have fun.
"Second sister must keep her word." Bai Wei was very happy, but in her heart she thought of a certain Yushu Linfeng figure.
It's impossible to marry him in this life. It would be nice to see the place where he lived, or have a chance encounter. That's not too much to ask for, right?
Not knowing what Bai Wei was thinking, Bai Ling got on the carriage and embarked on a boring journey. He was somewhat interested in going to Beijing, but not very interested in the other side.
In the ancient imperial power system, you had to kneel in various ways when entering the palace. Just thinking about it makes me feel how pitiful my knees are.
The team didn't move very fast. It took nearly a month to reach the capital. Bai Ling felt tired even though he didn't get motion sick.
According to the rules, Bai Ling should live in the inn, but unfortunately there was no room in the inn.
Bai Ling, who was not short of money, said that she could just take her people to stay in an inn and wait for the emperor's call at any time.
On the occasion of parting, Bai Ling gave a generous gift to the imperial envoy and the two accompanying imperial doctors to express his gratitude for taking care of her along the way. It was purely for the sake of forming a good relationship.
After settling in, Bai Ling ordered a table of good food, never treating herself or the people she brought ill.
"Haitang, after a day's rest, you guys will go around the streets and get familiar with the capital. I will wait for summons at the inn these two days. If you encounter good things and rare things, you can just buy them.
.”
After eating, Bai Ling ordered Haitang.
The capital is a strange place, and Bai Ling will naturally not come alone. Only by bringing along a few subordinates with good skills can he ensure his safety.
And Haitang is good at gathering information, so Bai Ling naturally wants to take her with her, and she can also be used as a personal bodyguard.
"Yes, Master." Haitang untied the banknote and exited the room.
What Bai Ling said about getting familiar with the capital is naturally not only the terrain, but also the commercial modules here and some things about the high-profile households.
As for asking Haitang to buy things, that includes houses, shops, and really good and rare items.
Anyway, the master is not short of money, so he is very aware of the fact that Haitang is half overgrown.
"Jingcheng, I'm here." Bai Ling half-opened the window and whispered with a faint smile on his lips.
After confirming Bai Ling's whereabouts, the imperial envoy went to the palace to report back to the emperor. Naturally, he wanted to report the cause and effect of the incident, as well as everything he saw in the Han Dynasty.
Naturally, the emperor sent people there not just for the sake of the plague.
"The Prince of Han is really capable." After hearing the imperial envoy's report, the emperor said with a half-smile.
The wars continued for years, and the imperial court hardly provided any military supplies, but the Zixiao Army was always strong.
Even the resettlement of disaster victims has been done better than other places, and the epidemic can be solved without the help of the court.
Is Zixiao City really a part of the Han Palace, or even a small court of its own? (To be continued)
