Chapter 258
The sound of horseshoes in the early morning was getting closer, and Dong's tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her daughter's heroic appearance.
"It's good to be back! It's good to be back!" The third wife Li looked at her daughter who was following Bai Qingyan, crying and laughing, pressing her heart with a handkerchief, turning her head and saying to her sister-in-law, "It can be regarded as coming back. It's gone! My heart... I can finally let it go!"
The fifth, sixth and seventh girls of the Bai family had rushed down from the steps, waved to Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi in the distance with tears in their eyes, and shouted "Eldest Sister" and "Fourth Sister" without any ladylike etiquette.
As he got closer to the White House, the turbulent emotions in Bai Qingyan's heart became more and more sour.
She had never felt so eager to go home.
Seeing the three younger sisters who kept waving and Lu Ping smiling all over his face, Bai Qingyan grabbed the reins and quickly reined in the horse, turned over and got off the horse.
Bai Jinzhi got off the horse after him, looked at his mother who was covering her mouth with a handkerchief and was crying, her eyes seemed to be smiling, and called out with a sob: "Mother..."
Lu Ping hurried forward to hold the horse for Bai Qingyan, and said with red eyes: "Big girl! Just come back safely! Just come back safely!"
Bai Qingyan nodded, handed the red-tasseled spear to Lu Ping, brought Bai Jinzhi forward and stood at the door, looked up at her mother Dong and the elders of the Bai family, knelt down solemnly, and bowed heavily.
She raised her head with red eyes: "Mother, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Fifth Aunt! Bai Qing never insulted the reputation of the Bai family, won the victory in Southern Xinjiang, brought the fourth sister back to the capital safely!"
"Bai Jinzhi, the fourth daughter of the Bai family, return home safely!" Bai Jinzhi also burst into tears.
Looking at her daughter, who was bathed in the morning light and shining brightly, Dong burst into tears: "Good! Good!"
I don't know if her husband Bai Qishan has seen it, but today...their daughter returned victorious just like he once did!
I don't know if her husband has seen that their daughter is protecting the people on the frontier that he would risk his life to protect!
I don't know if the husband is... proud of their daughter?
Bai Qingyan, who was kneeling in front of the main gate of the White Mansion, looked at Dong Shi, choked up and said, "Mother, Ah Bao took daddy back, but because the war didn't know when it would end, he buried daddy at Tianmen Pass, and buried daddy in his father's house." A place that has been guarded for a lifetime!"
Dong Shi couldn't hold back her tears anymore, gritted her teeth and cried out, nodding vigorously.
Southern Xinjiang is indeed a place that Baiqi Mountain has guarded for a lifetime...
There is already a tomb of Baiqi Mountain in Dadu City. She believes that... rather than burying her husband back, her husband is more willing to guard the Tianmen Gate and guard the people on the frontier until the grand ambition of the Bai family for generations to unify the world is completed.
"Who said that my Bai family has no place to stand in the metropolis from now on! Although the son of the Bai family is dead, the daughter is still there!" The fifth wife Qi looked at Bai Qing with tears in her eyes, tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and raised her voice , "My Bai family...is still standing!"
Bai Jinxiu, who was staying beside Liu Shi, couldn't bear it any longer, trotted down from the high steps, knelt down and hugged Bai Qing and said, "Elder Sister!"
Qin Lang looked at Bai Qingyan in military uniform, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he sent Bai Qingyan to the expedition. The daughter of the Bai family, Lang...everyone was indomitable.
Although the son of the Bai family is gone now, Bai Qingyan is still there... She can still support the Bai family.
Bai Qingyan said that such an upright and proud woman is very good, but she is not a good match for him.
Qin Lang's eyes fell on Bai Jinxiu, how lucky he was to marry a woman like Bai Jinxiu, he should cherish it.
During these days, Bai Qingyan was in southern Xinjiang, and Bai Jinxiu was worried all the time. Now seeing her elder sister returning safely, Bai Jinxiu couldn't hold back her tears anymore, "Did elder sister ever get hurt?!"
"No... I wasn't injured, Xiaosi has been by my side to protect me!" Bai Qingyan raised her hand to wipe away the tears from Bai Jinxiu's face.
Bai Jinxiu put her arms around Bai Jinzhi again: "Just come back! Just come back!"
"Sister!"
"Sister!"
"Sister!"
The fifth, sixth and seventh girls of the Bai family all ran over.
Several sisters knelt in a ball, and several younger ones wept uncontrollably.
Obviously... very happy, but couldn't stop crying and tears.
"Okay, okay! How can anyone cry together at the door? Hurry up... Get up first, let your elder sister and younger sister go in to wash and change clothes! Let's sit down and talk properly!" Wiping away her tears, she walked down from the high steps and helped Bai Jinxiu and Bai Qingyan to their feet.
The loyal servants and maids of the Bai Mansion crowded inside the door, and they were all overjoyed to see the eldest and fourth girls coming back.
Bai Qingyan looked up in the direction of the fourth aunt, and saw that the fourth aunt Wang seemed to have aged a dozen years in two months, her eyes were not as bright as before, her back was slightly bent, her hands were wrapped with Buddhist beads, and her eyes were full of seeing through the world. The indifference, the whole person is as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Sudden loss of husband and son, the fourth aunt Wang is weak, if it is not for a pair of daughters who have not yet grown up, she must have gone with her husband and son long ago. This time...Bai Qingyan brought the news that Bai Qingjue was still alive to the fourth aunt, hoping that the fourth aunt could cheer up.
"Quick! Let's go back first!" Mrs. Dong walked down the steps and took her daughter's hand, holding it firmly, and touched the calluses in her daughter's palm. Her eyes became even redder, "Go home!"
"En!" Bai Qingyan nodded.
Yinshuang, who came with Bai Jinxiu, saw that the eldest girl was looking at her, grinned at Bai Qingyan, took out the candy that had been stored for a long time from her pocket, and handed it to Bai Qingyan: "Miss, eat candy! "
"This silly girl!" Nanny Luo couldn't help laughing and tapped Yinshuang's head.
In Qinghui courtyard.
Nanny Tong was in the yard watching the maids and servants clean up again.
"The movements are quicker! The eldest girl will be back soon! Let the eldest girl see the spotless Qinghuiyuan!"
Chuntao was in the small kitchen, cooking bird's nest for Bai Qingyan herself. She fanned the fire with a fan, and when she heard the noise, she came out of the small kitchen. When she saw that it wasn't Bai Qingyan who entered the courtyard, she went back to the small kitchen, feeling uneasy. I don't know if the older girl was injured.
In those years, the big girl went out to fight, and every time she came back, she was injured all over her body.
Especially that year, even though she also came back with a big victory, the eldest girl was carried back to Qinghui Courtyard in a coma, and Chuntao was frightened out of her wits.
"God bless, the eldest girl is safe and sound! If she gets what she wants, Chuntao is willing to live ten years less and be a vegetarian for the rest of her life..."
From Bai Qingyan's expedition to the present, Chuntao has said these words countless times.
"Grandma Tong! The eldest girl is back! The eldest girl is back! You have already entered the Chuihua Gate! You will be in Qinghui Courtyard soon!"
The little girl who was sent by Nanny Tong to wait for the news in the front yard rushed into the yard with happy eyes and shouted loudly.
Qinghuiyuan is like water pouring into hot oil, boiling immediately.
"What are you arguing about?!" Nanny Tong restrained her joy and reprimanded her with a stern face.
