Bai Jing shuddered at Gu Xiangning's glare, and then she saw her father beside her, and she immediately said, "Dad, I'm back."
"This must be my senior sister's brother, he looks very powerful. Dad, why didn't you notify me to come back earlier?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Bai Jing with amusement as she was trying to change the subject. She also knew that Bai Jing must have thought Gu Xiangning was good-looking at first, so she couldn't help but speak.
"Yes, this is my brother, Gu Xiangning, Xiaoman's fiancé, also known as the Jade-faced Yama!"
After listening to this, Bai Jing couldn't help but mutter, this man is indeed Jade Face, but when his eyes become fierce, he is really like the King of Hell, and she also heard that he is the fiancé of County Master Xiaoman.
I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows. This county lady herself was called the Demon General. It turned out that there were not only the Black and White Impermanence around her, but even Yama.
It was really complete. Qian Jiujiu saw that Bai Jing was silent and thought that she was scared, so he stopped talking and started picking up medicine.
And Luka didn't let Bai Jing stay there to disturb them. After all, curing Qin Niang's illness was the most important thing. He looked at Bai Jing and said, "You've been gone for such a long time."
"But did you succeed in getting the county lady to ask you to learn how to cook?"
When talking about this, Bai Jing became very disheartened and looked at Luka: "Dad, the county lady doesn't like me at all. I can't even see her when I go to the inn."
"How can I learn it?"
The more Bai Jing talked, the more aggrieved she felt. She was the apple of the Bai family's eye. Although she had worked hard since she was a child, she had actually not suffered much.
Not to mention being looked down upon by others, Luka felt it was unlikely when he heard Bai Jing's words; "Are you telling the truth? But that's not right."
"You are the princess's junior sister, so you have to give face to the Buddha. Why would they not even let you go to the inn? Did you do something before?"
Bai Jing still had an innocent look on her face: "What can I do? I just woke her up early in the morning. You're so mean to me that you don't like me anymore!"
As soon as Luka heard what was going on, he looked at Bai Jing helplessly: "Jing'er, Dad knows that you are a little arrogant."
"But your status in Huadu before was comparable to that of a princess, and you are also capable. Dad never said anything about this."
"But it won't work anymore in the future. The world is much wider now, and your status is lower than before, even though you are still the eldest daughter of the Bai family."
"But in the Great Zhou Kingdom outside, there are hundreds of families larger than the Bai family. Your status is even more different from that of the county lady. You should be careful in your actions."
After hearing this, Bai Jing's eyes widened, as if she was a little bit unbelievable. After all, the person who was supposed to be high and mighty was suddenly belittled.
Before Bai Jing could continue to speak, Luka said, "People should always remember that there are always people better than you. You are a person with real abilities."
"As the world gets bigger, it means you have more opportunities, so I believe you can live a better life."
Bai Jing's eyes became more determined as her father spoke: "Father, I understand. You asked me to learn cooking from the county master just as an excuse."
"Your real thought is that you want her to take me out, right? But why not choose Senior Sister? Isn't Senior Sister better?"
Luka laughed and said, "You finally understand my father's painstaking efforts. If you don't want to, it's up to you. I won't force you."
Bai Jing was confused: "Father, I know about this. Can you let me think about it?"
Luka nodded: "Of course you can. After your mother recovers, I plan to take your mother and your senior sister to travel around the world."
"As for you wanting to come with us, that's fine too, but father still hopes you can go to Kyoto. Your sister doesn't have great ambitions."
"I like to be free and easy. Your father is old, and you are still young, so you can create a path for yourself in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty for some time to come."
"It must be a place where talented people gather. As for whether you can make a name for yourself, it depends on you. And what about your engagement, between you and Qin Cheng?"
Bai Jing frowned: "Qin Cheng and I can only be considered friends. We'll talk about the future in the future. But Dad is right. I'm still young and I should go out and try my luck."
"I haven't forgotten my pet shop! So these few days..."
Bai Jing was interrupted by Luka before she finished her words: "Don't stay here for the next few days, so as not to disturb your senior sister. Your father can stay here alone!"
Bai Jing nodded: "Then if my daughter goes to the county lady, she will definitely make the county lady agree to stay with her."
Luka didn't finish what he said, but just nodded at his daughter. Looking at his daughter's back, Luka actually had some selfish thoughts that he didn't say, which was to send his daughter Bai Jing away.
Qin Niang would have focused more of her attention on him. They had been separated for more than ten years. How many more decades can one have in a lifetime, especially for someone like Qin Niang who had just recovered from a serious illness.
How long he could live was something that no one could predict. After Bai Jing left home, she came to the door of the inn again.
Xiaoman is helping to stick the petals on the floats. Two floats have been glued on, and there are eight more, so time is very tight.
But when she heard the subordinates outside come to report again, saying that Miss Bai wanted to see her! Xiaoman frowned. What was this person doing here again? Didn't he know that she didn't like her very much
I was thinking, how can someone be so ignorant of himself? But I have already rejected him once, and if I refuse him many times, I am afraid I will become an enemy.
As the old saying goes, don't judge by the monk, judge by the Buddha. No matter what, Bai Jing is still Qian Jiujiu's junior sister. Thinking of this, Xiaoman said, "Bring the person in."
Soon Bai Jing was brought into the yard. Looking at the strange cars in the yard and the behavior of Xiaoman and others, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Greetings, County Master. What are you doing?"
Xiaoman looked at Bai Jing: "Miss Bai, what is the reason for coming here this time?"
Bai Jing looked at Xiao Man a little embarrassedly: "County Lady, I came here to learn cooking from you and hope to get your guidance."
"If the county lady doesn't mind, I am willing to serve you."
Xiaoman smacked his lips and looked at Bai Jing: "I always feel that you are a little different from before, but as for your cooking skills, how can I put it!"
"Nowadays, I rarely cook myself. If you really follow me, you may not learn anything in a month or two. Are you willing?"
Bai Jing gritted her teeth and nodded: "I am only willing. I don't ask the county lady to guide me every day. I am willing to do it once or twice a month."
Hearing this, Xiaoman finally understood. In fact, Bai Jing just wanted to stay with her, right? She smiled and looked at Bai Jing: "You know, I will be going back to Kyoto soon."
"When the time comes, are you willing to go to Kyoto with me
Hearing this, Mu Yexiao, who was gluing flowers on the side, raised his head and looked at Xiaoman: "Why doesn't Xiaoman go out to play with us?"
"I remember you loved going out to play. It's only been a short while since you left, but you're in such a hurry to go back? Are you worried about Xiang Ning? You know, there aren't many people like Ren Yu."
Xiaoman couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Brother-in-law, what are you thinking about? Besides, Ren Yu is the imperial concubine now, don't talk nonsense."
Mu Yexiao raised his eyebrows: "Okay, if you didn't go back because you were worried about Xiang Ning, then why did you go back?"
Xiaoman sighed: "The Queen is a little embarrassed now. I am very worried about the eldest prince. I am going back to Kyoto to support him and take a look at that woman."
"Let's see what she is capable of. Who is this woman who can cause trouble in the palace?"
Mu Yexiao couldn't help laughing when he heard what was said: "Yeah, you were the one who delivered that child! Of course I'm worried about it."
"But I don't believe my brother would be manipulated by a woman. Be gentle when you go back."
Xiaoman laughed when she heard this: "Brother-in-law, what are you worried about? I won't overthrow the emperor's harem. Besides, the emperor can only love whoever he wants."
"It's not up to us to decide. I'm just curious about why that woman caught the emperor's eye."
Mu Yexiao raised his lips slightly, clearly showing that he did not believe what Xiaoman said. In fact, Xiaoman was just like Qian Jiujiu. Wherever he went, there was no peace.
Now Kyoto has finally seen the departure of the evil star Princess Bingjian, but who knew that an even more powerful person would come along. How could this not be funny!
Xiaoman looked at Mu Yexiao's expression and felt very depressed: "Brother-in-law, you don't believe what I said. Why are you so annoying?"
Mu Yexiao coughed twice and said, "No, of course I believe you. Hurry up and stick the flowers. There are still quite a few! By the way, Bai Jing is your sister's junior sister no matter what."
"She's younger than you, so it's normal for you to take care of her more."
Bai Jing was feeling depressed listening to this. She was much older than Xiaoman, but she didn't dare to explain anything now, otherwise...
Wouldn't she be worried that the next sentence from King Bingjian would come out, that since she is so old, there is no need to trouble the county lord, wouldn't she be upset
He could only smile and thank Mu Yexiao: "Thank you, King of Side by Side."
After saying that, he looked at Xiaoman expectantly. Xiaoman said helplessly: "Then just follow me. Since I am the one who brought you to Kyoto, I will take care of you."
"But you have to remember one thing, that is, don't cause trouble. Remember, as long as it's not your fault, I can keep you safe!"
Isn't this Bai Jing's purpose? She immediately thanked Xiaoman: "Thank you, County Lord. I won't cause any trouble."
