Chapter 696 Asking to See the Eldest Girl
Chapter 696 Asking to see the eldest girl
"I know my cousin is the eldest daughter of the Bai family, and now she is Princess Zhenguo who doesn't need anything, but this is my wish. Cousin must not refuse!" Dong Tingzhen said with a smile.
Bai Qingyan looked at the box, thinking of the pair of bracelets that Xiao Rongyan gave yesterday, her ears turned slightly red.
She thanked her, took the wooden box and opened it. Inside was a pair of hairpins carved with warm jade, and the thin leaves were made of emerald jade, which were densely intertwined with gold wires. Next to the emerald jade are stamens made of gold thread beads, bent into their own shapes, just like the real thing, if placed in the sun... it will definitely attract bees and butterflies.
If Bai Qingyan's guess is correct, this should be Dong Ting's precious treasure at the bottom of the box.
"Our Tingzhen is so rich." Bai Qingyan teased Dong Tingzhen.
Bai Qingyan knew that this was Dong Tingzhen's wish, so she accepted it without refusing, thinking that when Dong Tingzhen got married... when she added a box to Dong Tingzhen, she would return the gift.
Dong Tingzhen smiled, and covered her lips with a handkerchief: "That's right, I've been in the Bai family these days...but I have begged for a lot of treasures from my aunt, if I don't bring out the treasures at the bottom of the box on my cousin's birthday, then What an embarrassment."
Dong raised her hand and poked Dong Tingzhen on the forehead.
Not long after, Bai Jinzhi, Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua also congratulated Bai Qing on her birthday.
Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua were probably because of their twins. They both secretly carried the gift that the other had prepared for Bai Qingyan, but when they opened it...well, both of them gave it to the concubine Yu Guifei who was in the palace when they entered the palace the year before last. The ruby head was brought, which made Bai Qingyan dumbfounded.
Afterwards, several wives also sent someone to give Bai Qingyan a birthday gift.
Seeing their sisters having fun here, Mrs. Dong told Mother Qin to prepare noodles in the small kitchen... She also got up and left.
The elders are here and the children are unavoidably restrained. Once she leaves...these monkeys can let go of their playfulness.
As soon as Mrs. Dong left, Bai Jinzhi showed his true colors, sat on a chair without a straight face, and told his two younger sisters how he pretended to hurt his mother yesterday to save her from copying books.
Bai Jinzhao and Bai Jinhua listened with gusto, but Dong Tingzhen hurriedly smiled and told Bai Jinzhi not to spoil the two younger sisters.
Bai Qingyan put a fine velvet blanket on her lap, looked at the laughing sisters, and then turned her head to look out the window. It was autumn and the sky was clear and cloudless. She felt relaxed and warm in her heart, and liked this rare day of tranquility very much.
For some reason, she thought of the pair of bracelets that Xiao Rongyan gave her, and wanted to try them on, but she was worried about being questioned by her sisters, so she just thought about it in her heart, and there was a little smile on the corners of her eyes and brows.
Chuntao came in with a basket, smiled and saluted Bai Qing, and said, "Miss, this is a snack that she made by herself from the dumb lady, and there is also a piece of peace that she has enshrined for seventy-seven forty-nine days." Talisman, I hope to protect the eldest girl's safety."
When Bai Qingyan heard that it was sent by the dumb lady, there was a smile on his brows: "Bring me to see!"
"Is this a birthday present from the dumb lady to the eldest sister?" Bai Jinzhi also came over.
"The dumb girl didn't know that today is the eldest girl's birthday. She heard that the eldest girl is back, so she brought the things here." Chuntao laughed.
The dim sum is made by the mute herself. Although it is not particularly delicate, it is still fresh, and it is still hot when Bai Jinzhi touches it.
The peace talisman was packed in an exquisitely embroidered purse. The purse was embroidered with pictures of birds and birds. It was very delicate, and it should have been embroidered by the dumb woman herself.
Bai Qingyan pushed the snacks in front of Bai Jinzhi for her to use, and asked Chuntao to help her put away the amulet.
"Xiaosi, you are going to set off for Anping Camp the next day. Have you got everything ready?" Bai Qingyan asked Bai Jinzhi with a smile as she held up her teacup.
"Don't worry, Eldest Sister, everything has been packed! Uncle Ping has already selected someone, I've seen them all... It's just that my mother is worried, and she is still checking for omissions and filling in the gaps. I don't think there is anything I need to bring." Bai Jinzhi said with a smile on his face confidence.
Bai Qingyan nodded: "It's all packed, so I will spend more time with my third aunt today. When you leave the next day... I don't know how long it will take to come back. Third aunt will definitely be worried."
Bai Qingyan did not discuss with the third aunt about the decision to let Bai Jinzhi go to Anping Camp, but the third aunt agreed. Bai Jinzhi will leave tomorrow. Although today is Bai Qingyan's birthday, she thinks that Bai Jinzhi should spend more time. To accompany her mother is.
Bai Jinzhi nodded: "I'll go to my mother's place after lunch with elder sister."
"I'll be with my aunt later!" Dong Tingzhen said.
Bai Jinzhi was going to Anping Camp, and Dong Tingzhen was going back to the capital.
Nanny Tong came in with a plate of tangerines, and said with a smile that the old lady of Dengzhou had sent someone to deliver them quickly. Mrs. Dong had already divided them up and sent them to various courtyards. She brought this plate for all the girls to taste first. fresh.
Mrs. Dong was thinking about her granddaughter's birthday, and in addition to sending someone to bring tangerines to the Bai family, she also brought a birthday present for her granddaughter. Tong Nanny put the fruit plate in front of the girls, and then Walking to Bai Qingyan's side in small steps, he lowered his voice and said, "Miss, it is Shi Huishu who was sent by the old lady of Dengzhou and my uncle to give you a birthday present. Master Shi wants to see Miss."
Shi Huishu wants to see her? Could it be that uncle asked Shi Huishu to bring some letter over?
Bai Qingyan looked at Dong Tingzhen, Bai Jinzhi, Bai Jinzhao, and Bai Jinhua who were playing around, and said, "It's almost time, Xiaosi...you take Tingzhen, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu to Shaohua Academy, the weather is so bad today Okay, let's enjoy the ginkgo, I'll come after I change my clothes."
"Cousin, can you move?" Dong Tingzhen was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, the weather is good today, and I want to get some wind."
"That's okay, I'll take Cousin Tingzhen and Xiaowu and Xiaoliu there first! Sister, don't worry!" Bai Jinzhi said.
After watching the younger sisters leave, Bai Qingyan asked Chuntao to change her clothes, and Madam Tong asked Shi Huishu to come over.
When Bai Qingyan was fully dressed and sat upright in the main hall, Nanny Tong brought Shi Huishu into the cloud courtyard.
Shi Huishu was under forty, but he was old-fashioned, still the same as when Bai Qingyan saw him in Dengzhou, black and strong, with windy steps, and the killing spirit of a general.
Seeing Bai Qingyan, who was wearing a frost-coloured brocade blouse, and ai-green blouse, Shi Huishu was slightly taken aback. Unexpectedly, the girl who hadn't seen Biao for several months had lost so much weight. Could it be that the injury was really serious this time? !
The last time Shi Huishu and Bai Qingyan fought against Nanrong together in Dengzhou, he had seen Bai Qingyan's heroic demeanor on the battlefield, and also seen Bai Qingyan's skill. Qing Yan blocked the prince's arrow and died soon after being pierced through the chest by an arrow. Shi Huishu was not particularly worried...
