Chapter 488 Left Prime Minister Li's Mansion

I didn't hear Bai Qingyan speak for a long while, and Wu Guanshi was about to quietly look at Bai Qingyan, but when he raised his gaze to Bai Qingyan's deerskin boots, he heard Bai Qingyan clearing his throat, and was immediately frightened Not daring to lift up, his eyes were fixed on the floor motionless.

It's not that Wu Guanshi has never entered the Bai family's ancestral house before, so he knows how ostentatious the Bai family's ancestral house with blue bricks and blue tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, the black lacquered nanmu pillars painted with gold, and all the furnishings are extraordinary, and the objects that can be displayed They all have their origins and years, and even the dozen or so bronze lamps with tangled branches are hundreds of years old, showing the unfathomable heritage of the Bai family everywhere.

But I don't know if it's because the Lord came back or because it was repaired and tidied up again. Now when he stepped into the main hall, Wu Guanshi's palms were sweating.

Bai Qing straightened Li Suqing's cuffs rimmed with dark patterns and silver thread, and asked in a calm voice, "What's the matter with Guan Wu?"

With just a few words, Wu Guanshi could tell that he was condescending, which was completely different from the amiable look of the previous town king.

Now, the Wuguan understands that the princess of the Bai family will not give it to the clan... The dignity that the king of the town gave to the clan back then, the king of the town used to talk about blood relationship, but the princess of the town said it was not. It's about superiority and inferiority. If you offend this Zhen Guo princess, you may be dragged down and beaten to death.

Steward Wu hurriedly kowtowed, and his attitude became more solemn and respectful: "Princess Hui Zhenguo, the younger one came here this time because before Princess Zhenguo returned to Shuoyang with her family, there were people from the capital who came before the patriarch... In front of the patriarch, there is something for the princess! That person probably heard that the princess, you sent the former patriarch and expelled many members of the clan, so he contacted everywhere... intending to join forces with the expelled Bai clan to deal with you!"

Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes halfway, without saying anything, Chuntao stepped forward to take the teacup on the black lacquer and gold square plate from the handmaid's hand, and handed it to Bai Qingyan.

She was holding a teacup, drinking it one after another.

It was too late to wait for Bai Qingyan to ask, Wu Guanshi's forehead dripped with sweat, his eyes rolled, and he said: "At first, that person went to look for Bai Qiyun, the eldest son of the former patriarch. Several people went to discuss with the former patriarch at this time, they were reprimanded by the former patriarch, the former patriarch said...now the second son is the patriarch, and the Bai family is honored and honored and the other is damaged."

Bai Qingyan stared at Wu Guanshi kneeling in the middle of the main hall, wondering if this Wu Guanshi was sent by the former patriarch to ask for peace, or if he had other plans, so he simply drank tea and waited for Wu Guanshi to finish speaking.

Seeing Bai Qingyan responding, Wu Guanshi became more and more uncertain, and his voice lost all confidence: "Later, the villain was careful, and when sending those who came to ask for cooperation to go out, he said something... since we are here to cooperate Yes, it would be too dishonest not to declare your family background! After the princess returned to Shuoyang with most of the Bai family’s female relatives, those people came again and reported their family background as Zuoxiang Li’s residence!"

Hearing the slight knocking sound of Bai Qingyan's teacup on the mahogany table, Guan Wu trembled in fright.

"Is there any evidence for self-reporting to be the left minister of Li's house?" Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes and looked at Wu Guanshi, who wished he could shrink into a ball and kept trembling.

"Back to Princess Zhenguo, that person showed the patriarch the token of Zuoxiang Mansion, and said...Princess, you broke the leg of Zuoxiang's youngest son, so that the patriarch need not doubt the sincerity of Zuoxiang Mansion's cooperation with the patriarch. Now those He also rented a yard in Shuoyang City Fen Lane, and it seems that he wants to stay in Shuoyang City for a long time to search for the princess's handle." After Wu Guanshi finished speaking, he kowtowed again, "If the princess doesn't believe it, you can send someone to check it out. !"

Bai Qingyan rubbed the sweet white glazed teacup in his hand lightly. After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Wu Guanshi came to me this time and told me about this matter. What kind of reward do you want?"

Wu Guanshi lowered his head very low: "Princess Hui Zhenguo, little one... my ancestors are considered old men of the Bai family. My grandfather stayed in Shuoyang to follow the head of the direct branch of the Bai family, and then he followed the former head of the family all the time. , if he can work for the princess, the little one will do nothing for the Bai family!"

Bai Qingyan looked at the tense back of Wu Guanshi with a half smile, and slowly blew into the teacup: "That's it, I don't know if Wu Guanshi is willing to stay by Bai Qiyun's side, watch Bai Qiyun for me, and report anytime ?”

Wu Guanshi was taken aback, this was different from what he thought, he thought Bai Qingyan would arrange him into the White Mansion no matter what.

However, if this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to see Bai Qingyan again in the future.

Wu Guanshi made up his mind and kowtowed to Bai Qingyan: "Young one, I will definitely live up to the princess's trust!"

"Chuntao, let someone send Guanshi Wu out! The matter of Guanshi Wu's visit today...don't spread it!" Bai Qingyan got up and walked out as soon as Bai Qingyan finished speaking.

Wu Guanshi didn't dare to get up, knelt down and kowtowed his head. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Bai Qingyan's shadow elongated by the setting sun moving, turned half a circle in Bai Qingyan's direction, and sent Bai Qingyan away from the main hall before he dared to raise his head. Come.

Although Bai Qing said that he would not let the news of his visit to the outside world, but in front of the Baifu is the bustling Yangming Street in Shuoyang City. Kneeling alarmed the guards of the Bai family with knives, and many people must have seen the movement in front of the gate of the Bai mansion.

If he really wanted to return to Bai Qiyun's side, Wu Guanshi would probably have to think of an extremely appropriate justification for today's events.

Seeing that Bai Qiyun, the "future patriarch", was expelled from the clan, Guanshi Wu could only plan for his own future. Before he came, he also thought that Bai Qingyan would not use him easily, and now let him stay by Bai Qiyun's side, maybe this It was Bai Qingyan's test of his ability to handle affairs.

Bai Qingyan stepped out of the main hall, her dark eyes were as calm as water, and she turned her head to order Chuntao to ask Housekeeper Hao to check whether the person who rented a yard in Fenxiang yesterday came from Zuoxiang's mansion.

If Li Mao's hand really reached out to Shuoyang, even breaking his son's legs would not make him learn to behave. Bai Qingyan would need more thunderous means to make Li Mao calm down.

At dusk, the servant girl in the white mansion wearing a green silk dress held the insect repellent incense in her hand to drive away the mosquitoes in the corridor, and then put down the light gauze curtain and Xiangfei bamboo curtain that were hooked by copper hooks.

The maidservants who light the lamps light up the hexagonal sheepskin lanterns hanging under the verandah one by one. The lanterns sway with the breeze and reflect on the bluestone floor of the corridor. Moths flapped their wings outside the bamboo curtain.

On both sides of the promenade, there are weeping willows and tall pagoda trees, fragrant flowers and plants, and murmuring water.
