Bright lights were hung at the four corners of the exquisite elm-wood carriage with a green wall, and the unsteady light shone into the carriage, reflecting Bai Qingyan's deep water-like eyes flickering on and off.
"Drive the dog into a poor alley. If you can't beat the dog, you may be backlashed." Bai Qingyan patiently explained to Bai Jinzhi, "It is enough to achieve the goal, and there is no need to kill them all, otherwise they will be driven to a dead end and let them die. It is of no use to us."
Bai Qingyan said that the main purpose of making things worse is to win the hearts of the people and train troops to suppress bandits.
Now that the goal has been achieved, and some of the clan's available people can be used by her, why not do it?
As the saying goes, those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If the road ahead is dead, they will have no scruples. Bai Qingyan is not afraid... It's just a side issue, which inevitably requires her to be distracted from these unworthy trivial matters.
Bai Jinzhi frowned, knowing it in his heart, but he didn't want to forgive anyone: "Elder Sister thinks highly of them, what are they going to do with our family? Let them stay in the clan... I really don't want to be reconciled! It's not as good as coming out of the clan!"
"I thought you were grown up, why are you still so frizzy?" Bai Qingyan was not angry, but there was a smile in his voice, "We will use people from the clan when we return to Shuoyang, it is not good for us to come out of the clan! Now we have won the hearts of the people , it is logical to pave the way for future military training, and the money does not need to be paid by our Bai family, isn't it good?"
Bai Jinzhi frowned and thought about it, it seems like this...
"Just now, although I told you that you are not allowed to help those who have been expelled from the clan, but there is blood and family ties. Can they watch their children and grandchildren or their parents suffer and not help? We have spoken first... They know that they made mistakes, With the handle in hand, if you want to deal with it in the future...isn't it just a matter of one word?"
Bai Jinzhi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "What Elder Sister said is true!"
She nodded and told Bai Jinzhi: "Everything has its limits, and if you go too far, you will be troubled. The way to control others is to keep a line and hide your hands."
"Xiaosi remember it!" Bai Jinzhi nodded seriously.

When Bai Qingyan's carriage stopped in front of the Bai family's residence, Shen Qingzhu saw an extraordinary man with guards standing not far from the Bai family's ancestral residence.
Seeing that Chuntao had opened the curtain of the carriage, Shen Qingzhu stepped forward with an umbrella to protect Bai Qingyan from the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Miss, there are people in front of the Baifu gate."
Quan Yu got down from the carriage behind Bai Qingyan's four carriages, and was a little surprised to see Xiao Rongyan, but seemed to be reasonable, so he couldn't help but look at Bai Qingyan, and sighed in his heart that the folk customs of Wei Dynasty were really more open than that of Jin State... ...This Mr. Xiao admires the princess so much that he even dares to chase him to Shuoyang.
Xiao Rongyan was dressed in a white straight gown with auspicious clouds and dark patterns, and the waist was decorated with warm jade trimmed with gold thread, which was particularly conspicuous in this drizzle night.
Holding a sheepskin lantern in one hand and an umbrella in the other, Yue Shi stood obediently beside Xiao Rongyan. The warm and clear light added a touch of softness to Xiao Rongyan's original deep and sharp facial features.
Bai Qingyan raised his eyes and looked in Xiao Rongyan's direction, only to see a gentle and elegant handsome man bowing to her in a graceful and elegant manner.
Thinking of Xiao Rongyan saying that he wanted to talk to her about a business matter, she guessed it was urgent, so Xiao Rongyan condescended to wait here.
"It's Mr. Xiao!" Bai Jinzhi smiled, "Why did Mr. Xiao come to Shuoyang?"
Bai Jinzhi guessed that Mr. Xiao was probably doing it for his eldest sister, and he felt even happier.
Shen Qingzhu didn't know the situation, seeing Bai Jinzhi seemed very happy, she faintly let go of her guard.
Bai Qingyan got out of the carriage and saw Xiao Rongyan walking towards her, she stepped forward to salute and asked: "Mr. Xiao is waiting here for business?"
The drizzle fell on the surface of the oil-paper umbrella, moist and silent.
Shen Qingzhu, who held the umbrella for Bai Qingyan, looked at Xiao Rongyan with full eyes.
"Exactly." Xiao Rongyan nodded, his bottomless pupils looked at her with complete solemnity, and said in a salute, "This matter is of great importance, we need to talk to the eldest girl alone."
Xiao Rongyan's eyes were calm and introverted, and he did not intend to be frivolous, but regarded Bai Qingyan as someone who could conspire with major events.
Quan Yu stepped forward holding an umbrella, and saluted Xiao Rongyan with a smile: "Mr. Xiao..."
"Eunuch Quan Yu is here..." Xiao Rongyan nodded towards Quan Yu.
"The princess returned to Shuoyang this time, His Highness was afraid that the princess would not have enough hands, and the people around Quan Yu couldn't run errands, so he had the audacity to follow the princess!" Quan Yu glanced at Bai Qingyan, then looked at her again. Xiang Xiaorong, there was a silent smile on the corners of Yan's eyes and brows, "Mr. Xiao told the prince that he had to travel far away for business matters, so he was going to Shuoyang! What a coincidence!"
Xiao Rongyan heard Quan Yu's joke, smiled and said: "It's really for the white tea business, I'm here to ask the princess, I hope the princess can give me some advice."
"Little Four, you take Eunuch Quan Yu to the residence yourself, and then ask the steward to arrange the guards of the Prince's Mansion. Eunuch Quan Yu has worked hard today!" Bai Qing said.
"The princess's words have offended this servant, who just ran errands!" Quan Yu dared not accept the credit.
"Father Quan Yu, please!" Bai Jinzhi didn't want Quan Yu to stand in front of his eldest sister and Mr. Xiao again, and said with a smile.
Quan Yu's eyes were clear and his heart was bright, knowing that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to match Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan, how could he be so ignorant and still approach him, hurriedly bowed and said goodbye.
Bai Qingyan nodded slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Rongyan: "Mr. Xiao enters the house for tea."
The lonely man and the widow wanted to talk privately, so to avoid suspicion, Bai Qing asked someone to prepare tea at the Huxin Pavilion.
The octagonal gazebo in the center of the lake is made of vermilion lacquered columns, transparent on all sides, and four bright lanterns are hung under the high corners of the eaves, reflecting the lake very brightly.
Thin and dense like drizzle entering the lake, without hearing a sound, hazy like a layer of mist covering the lake.
The rain has soaked the mahogany railings of the pavilion in the center of the lake. The brocade mantle in the middle of the columns and the bamboo curtain of the concubine Xiangfei are hooked up by copper hooks of auspicious beasts. There are two copper crane top lamps standing. It may be that there is rain today and the wind is strong in the lake, and they are covered in a glass cover. Even the flames flickered.
Shen Qingzhu and Yue Shi held umbrellas each, and stood guard on the wooden bridge leading to the Huxin Pavilion. Seeing the two masters in the hall, they seemed to be admiring paintings and looking at some pictures. Their backs were facing the Huxin Pavilion... Commander, no one dared to look back.
The wind was getting stronger, and a corner of the map on the stone table was blown up. Bai Qingyan, holding a lamp, stepped forward, raised his hand to press the corner of the map, and leaned over to look at Xiao Rongyan's unfolded map with the lamp.
Xiao Rongyan turned his head, and looked at Bai Qingyan with a black and calm gaze. The candlelight in her hand outlined the curve of her white and soft jaw.
Seeing the mountains circled with a Chinese ink pen, the Niujiao Mountain not far from Shuoyang was very close, she looked at Xiao Rongyan puzzled.
"The mountains between Kongtong Mountain and Niujiao Mountain were bought by my people just a day ago after working hard for several years."
