Chapter 135: Seeking Xiao 7
Chapter 135: Seeking Xiao 7
Minister Bai was drunk and said, "Madam, I'll leave the task of picking up Bai Jinxin to you. I'm drunk and need to go back to my room to sleep."
Yun Wanqing didn't care. At her age, she didn't care where he slept.
No matter which concubine he slept with, they couldn't get pregnant because they had all drunk the sterilizing soup long ago.
…………
The next morning, after breakfast, the eldest lady called Aunt Cui over.
"Madam, what do you want from me?"
The eldest lady took out a hundred taels of silver and said to her, "Mammy, you are my wet nurse.
Now, for the sake of money, I ask you to bring that bitch's daughter Bai Jinxin back to marry Liu Baiwan.
Bring more men with you, and when you leave, make sure to get rid of that bitch, leaving the daughter behind and the mother behind."
Madam Cui was also a shrewd person. She immediately assured him with a solemn oath: "Madam, rest assured, this old servant will definitely take care of this matter."
Yun Wanqing smiled and said, "Madam, I will only feel at ease if you go to Jiangzhou."
Nanny Cui left the eldest lady's courtyard and took a few people to Jiangzhou in a carriage.
…………
Minister Bai's brother and his family were also in Jiangzhou, but because they saw that Jiangzhou was too poor, they all avoided it.
Bai Yaozu, the eldest brother's son, was also not doing his job properly. He squandered all the property given to him by his father. He could not make ends meet anymore, so he thought of his uncle who was a minister in the capital, so he came to seek refuge with him.
He found out the location of the Bai Mansion and walked on the street, looking around from time to time.
As luck would have it, I happened to pass by Baicaotang and saw three women walking out of it.
The person walking in front had a cold face. One of the three people was Bai Jinxin. He recognized that the other two were the people from Beijing who rescued Bai Jinxin in Jiangzhou City.
He hung out on the streets of Jiangzhou every day, and that day he saw his cousin selling herself to save her mother.
At that time, he thought that his uncle, who was a minister, didn't care about his daughter, so how could he give her money? So he hid in the dark and watched.
He didn't leave until Bai Jinxin was rescued by Ye Qingyan.
Now I see that my cousin is dressed better than the young ladies in Jiangzhou City. She must have a lot of money.
He stepped forward and asked, "Cousin, why are you here?"
Bai Jinxin glanced at him and said, "You've got the wrong person."
Bai Jinxin had no money to bury her mother, so she asked him to borrow some, but he refused to lend her any. Such a cold-blooded relative was worse than having nothing.
"Jinxin, I'm your uncle's cousin, why are you pretending not to know me?
I didn’t lend you the money because I was short of money!”
Ye Qingyan winked at Feng Yi, who, with murderous intent in his eyes, drew his sword and pointed it directly at Bai Yaozu, "Get out! If you try to claim kinship with me again, I'll kill you with one sword!"
Bai Yaozu was horrified at the time: "How can a woman in the capital be so arrogant, drawing her sword and wanting to kill someone?"
"I'm going, I'm going!"
He was terrified and ran forward quickly, looking back from time to time to see if they were chasing him.
Bai Yaozu fled in panic, and Ye Qingyan said, "Jinxin, don't be afraid, you are mine, no one can touch you.
Even if Minister Bai comes, he can't take you away.
On the surface, you sold yourself to bury your mother, and I paid for it. The people of Jiangzhou all saw it; privately, I treated you like a sister."
Bai Jinxin said with gratitude: "Thank you, Master."
Bai Yaozu ran for a while and then hid. He saw Ye Qingyan walking towards him, with several women beside her.
He wanted to know who saved Bai Jinxin, so he asked, "Auntie, who are those three women? Do you know them?"
An old woman laughed and said, "You don't even recognize them. The one walking in front is Xiao Qi, the fortune teller from Baicaotang, the future Princess Zhan. The two women behind are her maids."
Bai Yaozu was very happy because he knew where his cousin was living.
He asked along the way and found the Bai Mansion.
The door of Bai's house was closed, and he knocked on it several times.
At this moment, the vermilion-painted door opened, and a servant with a pointed face and monkey cheeks came out. He looked arrogant and said in a stern tone, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm here to see my uncle, Minister Bai."
The servant laughed sarcastically: "Have you ever heard that our master has a nephew?"
"No, it's just some poor guy pretending to be a relative and trying to make some money." Another person also said sarcastically.
Bai Yaozu quickly explained: "Minister Bai is really my uncle. I am from Jiangzhou."
"Our master has been in the capital, not in Jiangzhou. Let's go quickly."
They pushed Bai Yaozu out like a dog, and then the door closed with a bang.
Bai Yaozu never expected that he would be kicked out by the dog slave before he was even allowed to enter the door.
He saw that it was still early, so he sat down next to the stone lion to rest.
He thought: My uncle should not have returned from court at this time, so I will wait here.
He never expected that he would have to wait until dusk.
He hadn't eaten for a day and his stomach was rumbling with hunger.
At this time, a carriage stopped at the door, and the driver shouted: "Liu Er, open the door, the master is back."
Bai Yaozu quickly stood up and trotted to the front of Minister Bai's carriage: "Uncle, I am Bai Yaozu from Jiangzhou, I came to see you."
Minister Bai was shocked at the time: Bai Yaozu from Jiangzhou was still a little kid of four or five years old when he left.
He lifted the carriage curtain and saw a man in a blue satin robe in front of the carriage. He looked exactly like his eldest brother. "Are you Yaozu?"
"Uncle!" Bai Yaozu nodded.
"Why don't you come into the mansion?"
“They won’t let me in!”
"Follow the carriage."
The carriage continued to move forward, with Bai Yaozu following behind.
Arriving in the study, Minister Bai sat down and Bai Yaozu knelt again: "Uncle!"
"You haven't eaten yet, come here, prepare the food and send it here."
"Yes!"
Bai Yaozu told everything that happened in Jiangzhou, and mentioned that he met Bai Jinxin in front of Baicaotang.
This news shocked Minister Bai greatly.
"You said Bai Jinxin followed Princess Zhan?"
Yes, she was already a maidservant of the princess, and was sold to bury her mother.”
Minister Bai was stunned: "You said Jinxin's mother died?"
"Yes, Princess Zhan ordered someone to buy a coffin and bury him."
When Minister Bai learned that his first wife had died, he did not show any sadness.
He smiled and said, "It was Princess Zhan who saved Jin Xin. I will bring a generous gift to express my gratitude to Princess Zhan and ask her to hand over Jin Xin."
Bai Yaozu also agreed: "Uncle, you are right. You are the Minister of State and you are not short of money. Princess Liangzhan would not dare not hand over the person."
When the food was served, Bai Yaozu began to eat with relish...
…………
On the second day, Ye Qingyan had nothing to do, so she played Landlord with other maids in the mansion.
Fengjiu complained, "Master, I understand. You must win back all the red envelopes you gave us."
Ye Qingyan smiled and said, "Is your master so stingy?"
At this time, Nanny Qin walked in and said, "Master, Minister Bai has brought a gift and wants to see you."
Ye Qingyan pursed her lips and said, "Just say I'm not here. I won't see such a scumbag."
They continued playing Landlord...
