Chapter 1368 Regret

"I've seen you!" Bai Qingping responded and nodded quickly to express his thanks when he saw the snacks brought by Chuntao.

Chuntao bowed and respectfully stepped down.

"By the way, sister, this time... I also brought Gu Gu, who has been staying at the Bai family's old house in Shuoyang. Gu Gu is old. Before, Sister got married and gave birth to a child. Gu Gu was ill and couldn't come in time. This time, He said..." Bai Qingping paused, "He said he wanted to meet the eldest lady and the two young masters, which fulfilled his old man's wish, but he couldn't hold on due to the fatigue of traveling and traveling, and his body was very weak. , I asked my father to send Gu Gu back to Bai Mansion first."

The old original saying is that he felt that he didn't have much time left before he had to go down to serve the king of the town, so he wanted to come back to see the eldest girl and the two young masters, so that he could have a good talk with the king of the town when he went back underground. The eldest girl has two mistresses, which is a regret for the king.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work..." Bai Qingyan responded with a slight smile.

Gu is the oldest loyal servant of the Bai family. He has followed his grandfather since he was a child. Bai Qingyan also respects him very much. He regards him as half his elder, just like Doctor Hong.

And Gu Gu has always been an old man who is not very willing to cause trouble to others. This time he wants to follow Bai Qingping to the capital city. Come to think of it... his body and bones may not be in good shape.

Bai Qingyan was thinking about taking some time today to quietly return to the Bai Mansion to see the ancient times first. When she saw Wei Zhong walking into the palace from the side door with small steps, he walked around to her and whispered: "Your Majesty, Dingyong News came from the Marquis Mansion that Marquis Dingyong died an hour ago."

She was startled when she heard the words, and after a while she responded: "You go and get ready, and pack lightly in a while. I will go and burn incense myself."

"Chuntao, bring me some plain clothes." Bai Qingyan turned around and ordered.

Bai Qingping stood up when he heard this: "Sister, what happened?"

"Marquis Dingyong is dead. Marquis Dingyong once helped the Bai family when they were in trouble. I have to go and have a look." Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Qingping, "It turns out that you just arrived in Dadu City. You should be here at noon today. I’ll leave you to eat…”

"Sister, if you have something to do, just go and get busy. Now that Qingping has come to Dadu City, we, brother and sister, have plenty of time to get together." Bai Qingping bowed and said goodbye.

Bai Qingyan has not forgotten that when the Bai family was in trouble, Marquis Dingyong sent his son to inquire about the Bai family on New Year's Eve. Later, he asked the housekeeper to bring the coffin he had prepared and lend it to the Bai family. Everyone else was afraid The Emperor of Jin did not dare to come to the Bai Mansion to offer condolences. His mentor and Mr. Cui arrived first, and Marquis Dingyong also came to the Bai Mansion to offer incense.

Bai Qingyan will always remember those who did not add insult to injury when the Bai family was in trouble, or even helped the Bai family, and will never forget them.

Bai Qingyan changed into plain clothes and took only Wei Zhong, Chuntao and Chunzhi out of the palace.

Although Bai Qingyan is now the emperor, he is not completely incapable of restraining the chicken, and Wei Zhong is even more skilled. It is not noticeable that the four of them quietly left the palace.

After all, Marquis Dingyong has a title, and all the nobles in the capital know that when the Bai family was in trouble, Marquis Dingyong sent his coffin to the Bai family. It can be said that he helped the emperor when he was in decline. A handful, so I knew that Dingyong Hou died, and nobles came to express their condolences one after another.

When Bai Qingyan arrived, the whole house of Dingyong Hou was already covered in white silk, and white lanterns were hung high in front of the house.

As soon as she got off the carriage, she heard the heartbreaking cries of the female family members inside.

"Eldest girl..." Chuntao reached out to Bai Qingyan to help their eldest girl get off the carriage.

Bai Qingyan looked at Dingyong Hou's mansion, which was filled with white silk, and remembered the scene when the Bai family held a funeral that year...

The servants of Dingyong Hou Mansion had already changed their clothes and were standing at the door with their hands down. When they saw another carriage approaching, the steward came down from the high steps with red eyes and the hem of his plain clothes. Wei Zhong stepped forward and listened to the steward's ear. After whispering something, the steward's legs were so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed. He quickly sent someone to report to the master. He did not dare to call out Bai Qingyan's identity, so he had to treat Bai Qingyan's words with great respect. Invite people in.

In the mourning hall, upon hearing that the emperor of the dynasty had arrived, Prince Dingyong stood up in shock. He and his wife hurriedly supported Mrs. Hou on the left and right, and hurriedly went out to welcome him with their second and third bedrooms and their grandchildren. , followed by a group of relatives who came to express their condolences.

Seeing that Bai Qingyan was already holding Chuntao's hand and carrying the hem of her skirt as she stepped into the main entrance of Dingyonghou's mansion, Mrs. Dingyonghou quickly put down her crutches and immediately led her children and grandchildren to kneel down and kowtow in salute: "I have met Your Majesty!"

The nobles behind him also knelt down and kowtowed. They noticed that Bai Qingyan was wearing plain clothes, and they couldn't help but begin to estimate the importance of the Dingyong Marquis Mansion in Bai Qingyan's heart.

"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, but my subordinates were far away to greet you!" Prince Dingyong said hurriedly.

"Mrs. Hou, please get up quickly!" Bai Qingyan stepped forward and helped Mrs. Hou up. Looking at Mrs. Hou whose eyes were red and full of tears, she asked Prince Dingyong and others to get up and whispered to comfort the old Mrs. Hou. "My condolences, old lady!"

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she burst into tears again: "Actually, the old Hou has lived to this age, which can be considered a happy death! My body... is not uncomfortable. The old Hou did not suffer when he left! If the old Hou knew that he After he left, His Majesty actually came to see him off in person... He must have shed tears of gratitude!"

"How can I not be grateful? When the Bai family was in trouble... Fortunately, Dingyong Hou Dayi lent his coffin to the Bai family. This feeling... I have never forgotten it!" Bai Qingyan supported Mrs. Hou slowly. Walking towards the mourning hall, "Now that the old Marquis is gone, the younger generation will come to see the old Marquis off no matter what!"

When Mrs. Hou heard the words of the current emperor, how could she feel dissatisfied?

Today's emperor is nostalgic for old friendships. The old Marquis insisted on sending his coffin to the Bai family. This decision was the right one.

A group of people accompanied Bai Qingyan into the mourning hall. Bai Qingyan burned incense in person, and then someone came outside to report that the Ninth Prince of Yan Kingdom had arrived...

Mrs. Prince Dingyong was excited and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Bai Qingyan. She was slightly relieved when she saw that Bai Qingyan didn't seem to care.

The ninth prince of Yan Kingdom is a guest, but this guest... has no contact with Dingyong Hou Mansion!

This is again at the juncture when the two countries are discussing about gambling. The ninth prince of the Yan Kingdom has come to express his condolences after the death of his father-in-law. If Your Majesty thinks that their Dingyong Marquis has contacts with the Yan Kingdom, it is unreasonable for their Dingyong Marquis Mansion to take the lead. I’m afraid that my career will be cut off in the future!

After gathering her thoughts, Mrs. Dingyong Hou Shizi deliberately turned her head and asked Mrs. Hou: "Mother, this ninth prince of the Yan Kingdom... has never had any contact with our family! Why do you come to express condolences?"
