Bai Yanqing carefully put the five-color silk sachet into her sleeve and took the bottle of realgar wine.
"What time is it?"
Bai Yanqing asked casually.
Then he unplugged the cork of the porcelain bottle with one hand, got closer and smelled it, and the aroma of wine filled his nostrils.
"Miss, it's time."
Caixing stepped forward and replied softly, then took the porcelain bottle from Bai Yanqing's hand, re-corked it, and put it away carefully. She knew that her young lady treasured these two things!
"Um."
Bai Yanqing responded calmly, staring at Cai Xing eagerly as he carefully put away the small porcelain bottle, and then she felt relieved!
"Has the old lady replied?"
Bai Yanqing pinched the sachet in her sleeve as if casually and asked without raising her head.
"I've been there. Aunt Shen came out to reply. She said it's up to you, Miss."
Cai Xing didn't hide it, he just opened his mouth and said what Aunt Shen said.
Even without Cai Xing describing the attitude of the Ren family, Bai Yanqing could guess a thing or two.
"Oh."
Bai Yanqing chuckled, knowing that Ren would be like this.
To this old lady of the Bai family, Bai Yanqing, the direct granddaughter, is not comparable to the two granddaughters who are dear to the heart of the Ren family.
It’s just expected!
Bai Yanqing stood up slowly, straightened her appearance a little, and then took Cai Xing out of the Bai Mansion.
"Go to Qingfeng Tower."
Bai Yanqing led Cai Xingxiang around for a while, then found a sparsely populated place, got on a carriage that had been waiting here for a long time, and then hurried straight to Qingfeng Tower.
Qingfeng Tower.
As soon as Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing got off the carriage, someone came out of the building in a hurry.
"Young master, I'm so impatient! Girl, come with me quickly!"
Before I even entered the door, the shopkeeper came up to me with an anxious look on his face.
"Look at this guy, he's still so impatient!"
Bai Yanqing shook her head helplessly at the shopkeeper, but her steps moved faster.
The shopkeeper is really helpless. If Bai Yanqing arrives later, I'm afraid his Qingfeng Building will be demolished by that guy!
Although the shopkeeper had some complaints in his heart, he did not dare to say anything. He quickly led Bai Yanqing's master and servant to the private room on the second floor.
"What kind of tea is this? Isn't Qingfeng Tower too poor to buy good tea now? How dare you bring this inferior product to me to drink?"
Before Bai Yanqing arrived, she heard a roar from all the way from the second floor. She paused in her steps and looked at each other with Cai Xing. They both saw helplessness and...contempt in the other's eyes!
Bai Yanqing couldn't help but raise her hand, gently hold her forehead, and took the opportunity to wipe away a few traces of sweat from her forehead.
It seemed that she was in too much of a hurry, and she had to let him wait a little longer, so that he might be able to calm down more!
The shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building on the side can't wait that long! He knows very well that if Miss Bai is not allowed to enter the house, he is afraid that he will be buried together with his Qingfeng Building today! This young man inside is capable of anything.
!
"Hey, Master! We're here! Don't be upset!"
The shopkeeper was so anxious that he shouted at the door! He heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the room, and his heart was tightly clenched! His antique vase!
Don't suffer any more!
Hearing these words from the shopkeeper, the room instantly became quiet!
When Bai Yanqing saw this, she also knew that the shopkeeper was in trouble. She really wanted to look up to the sky and sigh, how could such a scourge be spread out!
As soon as Bai Yanqing stretched out her hand to open the door, she was greeted with a big hug. The familiar scent of incense came from the tip of her nose, which made Bai Yanqing sneeze.
"Ah! Brother Jing, next time ask your girl not to smell such a heavy fragrance on your clothes."
Bai Yanqing couldn't help but rub her nose, then frowned and said in anger.
Every time she saw him, she was filled with the scent of incense, which made her dizzy. But he didn't know how to restrain himself!
"We haven't seen you for many days, but Brother Jing is still so ignorant of etiquette. If others see him, he may not know how to arrange for me!"
Bai Yanqing looked around cautiously and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she felt relieved. Then she pushed the man in front of her into the box, then quickly closed the door of the box and ordered Cai Xing to guard the door.
.
"My dear sister, I miss my brother so much!"
The man in front of him looked impatient. He opened his arms and was about to hug Bai Yanqing into his arms again.
Bai Yanqing was so provoked that she kept hiding again and again! Why is this guy so excited?
"Ai? Brother Jing, I advise you to stay three feet away from me, otherwise..."
Bai Yanqing raised her eyebrows and only half of her words were spoken. The man opposite him immediately wilts and loses all the enthusiasm he had just now!
"Okay, you are cruel! The little girl has grown up and her wings have hardened. It is normal not to remember her brother. Now she is going to be married to someone else, so she will definitely break up with me. Otherwise, in the future, my husband's family will
It must be difficult for you, I understand..."
The man kept talking, looking like he was resentful of his wife. It was as if he was a poor son who had been abandoned by Bai Yanqing, and he was accusing Bai Yanqing of being unkind and ungrateful every word!
"Okay, okay! Brother Jing, stop it quickly! I'm really scared of you!"
Bai Yanqing quickly raised her hand, picked up a piece of cake from the plate and stuffed it into the other person's mouth, instantly blocking his chattering mouth.
This guy has this mouth. Even if Bai Yanqing had three more mouths, she wouldn't be able to defeat him!
“The pastries served by my sister are extremely delicious!”
The man who was called Brother Jing by Bai Yanqing actually smacked his lips in a decent manner, looking like he still had something to say! Bai Yanqing who was standing aside had goosebumps all over the floor!
"Brother Jing called me here today, but what are your instructions from grandfather?"
Bai Yanqing didn't talk nonsense with him and asked her question directly.
I sent her a message during the Dragon Boat Festival and asked her to come and meet her. I think she must have something important to do.
That's right, the man in front of him who Bai Yanqing calls "Brother Jing" is none other than General Ji's eldest grandson, Ji Jinxiu's legitimate son, and Bai Yanqing's cousin: Ji Nanjing.
Ji Jinxiu was doing business and had been dealing with all kinds of people all year round. Ji Nanjing had been doing business with his father since he was a child. Naturally, he was somewhat tainted with scoundrels. Every time he saw Bai Yanqing, he looked like a swindler, which made Bai Yanqing laugh and cry.
What can I do about my own cousin? I can only endure it!
As soon as he heard Bai Yanqing mention his grandfather, Ji Nanjing immediately calmed down and told Bai Yanqing everything about his grandfather.
"When you enter the palace, you are no longer free. After your grandfather asks you to enter the palace, pay more attention to your own safety. He will send people to protect you secretly. But there are some places deep in the palace that he cannot take care of.
Yes, I hope you take care of yourself and be sure to protect yourself."
Ji Nanjing said seriously, with a little worry mixed in his eyebrows.
Although he often makes some nonsensical jokes, he and the entire Ji family are very concerned about important matters, especially those involving Bai Yanqing!
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing was stunned. She thought...her grandfather had something important to entrust to her. Unexpectedly, it was for her safety!
"Grandpa also said that if necessary... he wouldn't mind abandoning the Ji family to protect you!"
Ji Nanjing spoke again, and his words were sincere and sincere. This was not only his grandfather's explanation, but also what he and the entire Ji family thought.
These words brought tears to Bai Yanqing's eyes.
"Why... why are you still crying!?"
Seeing Bai Yanqing crying, Ji Nanjing was obviously a little panicked. He didn't expect that the few words he conveyed would actually make his most beloved sister cry!
"It's okay."
Bai Yanqing took out her handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, and then slowly returned to normal. She knew that although Ji Nanjing looked a little out of character, he always loved her.
The Bai family has never paid much attention to Bai Yanqing, their legitimate daughter. Most of them were given by Mrs. Bai, the Ren family. Therefore, in the Bai family, Bai Yanqing suffered a lot of abuse since she was a child. When she was young, she was a servant of the Bai family.
, they all secretly bullied Bai Yanqing.
But the Ji family is different. Bai Yanqing is the only bloodline left by Ji Jinchu, the daughter of General Ji. Everyone in the Ji family feels sorry for her who lost her mother when she was young, and they regard her as their treasure from the bottom of their hearts. Especially Ji's family.
The old general wishes he could pluck all the moons in the sky for his precious granddaughter!
Back then, after learning that Bai Yanqing was sent out of the Bai Mansion, General Ji couldn't wait to come to the Bai family with a stick! But he was stopped by Ji Jinxiu with his body!
Ji Jinxiu analyzed the pros and cons of this for General Ji, and said that it would be beneficial for Yan Qing not to be in the Bai Mansion. This would make it easier for the Ji family to visit, and it would be more convenient to secretly protect her! She could see him at any time when he heard that
Granddaughter, General Ji will stop making trouble now!
Although the Ji family and the Bai family have not had much contact over the years, the Ji family secretly spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to keep Bai Yanqing as their only child.
The Ji family's love for Bai Yanqing comes from the bottom of their hearts, and they are not frivolous or pretentious. They are all true blood and family ties.
"Brother Jing, please reassure my grandfather. Yan Qing will definitely live up to his old man's trust and will definitely protect himself."
Bai Yanqing's eyes were clear and sincere at that time, as if she had made a big decision.
Facing Bai Yanqing's entry into the palace, everyone else was thinking about the glory and wealth she could bring to the family. However, only the Ji family was worried about whether her road ahead would be rough, bumpy, and whether her life would be in danger. Even
Yu made a secret move to save his granddaughter at the expense of the entire family.
How could this make Bai Yanqing unmoved?
"Brother Jing, please entrust this thing to my grandfather. It will satisfy my grandfather's longing for his daughter."
As Bai Yanqing spoke, she took out an exquisite and clear jade bracelet and handed it to Ji Nanjing.
This jade bracelet was worn by Bai Yanqing's mother during her lifetime. When she returned to Bai Mansion, Bai Yanqing found it in the courtyard where her mother lived. Although it was a bit dusty before, it has long since regained its luster after her careful scrubbing and care over the past few days.
, as exquisite and clear as before.
"After all, you are still careful."
Ji Nanjing took the jade bracelet and put it away carefully, for fear of bumping it.
In the end, Ji Nanjing forced her to stay and finish her lunch with the excuse that "Bai Yanqing lost weight again when she returned to the Bai Mansion, so she must not have eaten well."
Before leaving, Ji Nanjing asked the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Tower to bring a lot of food to Bai Yanqing, and forced it into Bai Yanqing's carriage. Ji Nanjing was not satisfied until he saw that her carriage was almost too packed to accommodate anyone.
to leave.
After returning home, Bai Yanqing carefully thought about the situation of meeting Ji Nanjing today, and then she felt relieved after confirming that she had not been discovered or followed by anyone.
It’s just that the scent of incense on Brother Jing’s body is too strong!
Thinking of Ji Nanjing, Bai Yanqing couldn't help but laugh.
