Chapter 387 Digging the Grave
Chapter 387 Digging the Grave
The second batch of convoys was even more spectacular than the first batch. Nearly a hundred carriages with tall loads were covered with tarpaulins and tied tightly with hemp ropes. The Bai family in the metropolis probably even sent the dowries of the wives back to Shuoyang, and they really didn't plan to come back.
Back then, when the wives of the Bai family married into the Bai family, which one was not a red makeup, and which dowry was not carried for a day like running water?
Especially the fifth wife, Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi is so old that her daughter hurts as much as her eyeballs. I heard that the dowry is afraid of surpassing Mrs. Dong, the eldest son, and there is no Dong's pomp, but secretly Mrs. Qi has a lot of Qi family. Zhuangzi and the profitable shop were all given to the Qi family, for fear that her daughter would not live comfortably in the Bai family.
The common people watched the mighty carriages and horses of the Bai family leave the city under the protection of the White House guards. They couldn't help sighing with emotion. The Bai family, which has been honored since the ancestors, fell to the ground after the town king Bai Weiting and the men of the White House were shrouded in horse leather. The fate of leaving Dadu sadly.
The news of the people in the metropolis is always better than the people in other places. Everyone in the metropolis knows that General Zhang Duanrui has just returned from Nanjiang and led his troops to Chunmu Mountain not long after he returned.
In the past, because of the presence of the Bai family of the Duke of Zhen Guo, Daliang would not dare to commit crimes for ten years. Now, not long after the King of Zhen Bai Weiting left, Daliang began to move around. It was also because Princess Zhen Guo was a woman... Daliang didn't take it all to heart.
It is true that Bai Qing, the princess of Zhenguo, said that she had returned from a great victory in southern Xinjiang, and there was no sign of the emperor's intention to reuse it. After all, it was probably because the princess of Zhenguo was a daughter.
However, if the princess of Zhen Guo returns to Shuoyang and does not get involved in the war anymore, other countries come to invade... I don’t know which general can protect the country and the people, and which one can bear the title of Zhen Guo.
As the Bai family's carriage and horse team left bustlingly, the long street that was still noisy just now quieted down. Although the members of the Bai family were still in the capital city, after such a magnificent carriage of the Bai family left the city, it suddenly gave people a feeling ... The capital city of the Great Jin Dynasty is no longer prosperous in the past, and it has faintly shown a state of decadence.
Seeing that the magnificent carriage convoy finally left, twos and threes laughed and chased them out. The cheerful laughter of the childish and innocent children dispelled the anxiety that was about to come out in people's hearts. Let each go away.
Qin Lang, who was standing beside the railing in the private room of the Yanque Tower, heard the voices of playboys playing in the private room, for some reason, his heart felt heavy.
His hands behind his back were tightened, probably because the Duke of Zhenguo had lived in Dadu for generations to guard the state of Jin, and they were invincible. They were never afraid of invasion from other countries.
Now that the Duke of Zhen's mansion is gone, even the people from the Duke of Zhen's mansion have to leave Dadu, which makes him inexplicably panicky.
·
At noon on April 27th, the princess of Zhen Guo drove back to the city.
Unlike when the Princess of Zhen Guo left the city, the Princess of Zhen Guo left quietly, but when she came back, there was a terrifying battle. Shen Qingzhu led the guards of the Bai family on horseback to clear the way, and behind him were nearly a hundred guards of the Prince's Mansion on horseback. After that, the scene was very impressive.
Many people didn't know who the visitor was, and thought it was an envoy from some country who had come to Dadu.
The housekeeper of Zhen Guo County Lord's Mansion and his guards greeted him outside the city gate early on. Seeing Bai Qingyan's carriage stop slowly, Hao Butler saw that the eunuch Quan Yu from the Prince's Mansion had already got off the carriage. Standing in front of Bai Qingyan's carriage and saying goodbye to Bai Qingyan, Steward Hao hurriedly led his servants to meet him.
Bai Qingyan raised the curtain, said to Quan Yu with a smile: "It's hard work, father-in-law. Tomorrow Bai Qingyan will come to the door in person and thank the prince!"
Steward Hao stepped forward to salute Bai Qing, and said to Quan Yu with a smile: "My father-in-law has worked so hard, and the Zhen Guo County Lord's Mansion is very grateful. I heard that my father-in-law likes to collect some exquisitely crafted tea sets. Madam ordered this old slave to take this A set of tea sets is given to the father-in-law, and I hope the father-in-law will not refuse."
The servant who followed Butler Hao stepped forward and opened the brocade box. Inside was a set of excellent emerald tea set. The most rare thing was that it was exquisitely carved.
Quan Yu hurriedly declined, and then he heard Bai Qing say: "Eunuch, take it! Now most of the Bai family is in decline... People from the clan can ride on the heads of our orphans and widows. You put a lot of airs on me in front of the people of the clan, I understand it in my heart! If my father-in-law is not careful... the clan affairs may not be resolved so smoothly!"
"But this is really too precious! Quan Yu serves the princess... really willingly!" Quan Yu looked at Bai Qingyan seriously.
Quan Yu admires Bai Qingyan from the bottom of his heart, and is indeed willing to work for Bai Qingyan. He admits that he is a snob, but there is a purity in his heart. He does not want to get involved with Bai Qingyan. The money relationship turned his pure heart into a transaction.
Bai Qingyan looked deeply into Quan Yu's serious eyes, and nodded, "Since that's the case, it's no longer difficult to say something, this trip... Thank you, Father Quan Yu, for your help, I will keep my words in my heart."
Housekeeper Hao asked the servant to put away the brocade box after hearing the words.
Quan Yu hurriedly saluted Bai Qing: "I don't dare to be the princess to thank you for what Quan Yu is in charge of."
Watching Bai Qingyan's carriage enter the city, Quan Yu had a warm smile on his face, turned around and got on the carriage to lead the team back to the Prince's Mansion.
Housekeeper Hao followed Bai Qingyan's carriage and whispered to Bai Qingyan what happened last night.
"The guards guarding the tomb caught this girl at night. Seeing that she was about to dig the tomb of the sixth son, they beat her half to death. This morning, when the city gate opened, they pressed her into the city and sent her to our mansion. Going up, the madam asked the girl why she was digging the grave and she kept silent. The madam was so angry that she ordered the servants to hide the truth from the third madam and send the girl to the official. In fact, the government released it after a warning!"
Bai Qingyan opened the curtain, and looked at Butler Hao with cold eyes: "Continue to talk..."
"Who would have thought that woman was making a fuss in front of the government gate, saying that she had the elixir to bring the dead back to life. She didn't want to dig the grave, but that the sixth son was kind to her, and she wanted to save him! The people in the government saw this girl going crazy Crazy words drove this girl away, but this girl knelt at the gate of our mansion, begging to see the eldest girl... claiming that she can save the sixth son, and now she is still kneeling at the gate of the mansion!"
Housekeeper Hao looked up at the thoughtful Bai Qing and said, "There are so many people watching the excitement, but this old servant thinks... this girl seems to intend to make a name for her through the Palace of Princess Zhen Guo."
She was arrested when she failed to dig the tomb. The mother of Princess Zhen Guo asked her why she dug the tomb, she kept silent, but shouted in front of the government gate that she had the elixir to bring the dead back to life.
Did the little ancestor guess who it was?
