"Don't worry, what is there to worry about when he is old?" Although the memory of Xiao You's self-proclaimed identity was erased by external forces, but on the way back from Bai Fuling's poetry meeting at Xia's house, Xiao You once mentioned the sea pumice stone , the words showed that Hai Pumice should not be in danger of life, so she didn't take this matter to heart.
"Poor..." Lin Pingzi sighed, but there was obvious gloating in this sympathy. He thought that the leader of Haida had won the heart of his young lady, but it turned out that he was far from it. This kind of mood is very entangled. He hopes that the young lady can find a good relationship, but also has a panic that other men will rob his precious sister.
"In addition, the two female relatives of the prisoner that you asked Bai Ashi to buy from the Jiaofang Division have already been obtained. As you expected, someone deliberately wanted to abuse them. I sold those two girls to him without saying anything, and I heard that someone secretly offered a high price of 300 taels, and the people in the Jiaofang Division refused to sell them." Lin Pingzi changed the subject and got down to business.
They have been paying attention to buying official slaves. These are mainly the families of prisoners in the capital and some big towns. They are mainly women and children. Bai Qian has a very good relationship with Feng Luan, who manages the Jiaofang Division. Notify him first.
Some wealthy businessmen in Beijing like to buy these official servants back. They were originally the daughters of official wives and young masters. To enslave them can give these rich but low-status wealthy businessmen a kind of perverted pleasure. These official servants are bought back. Afterwards, the days were mostly miserable.
There are also some lucky ones who met buyers only because of their good upbringing, and felt that it would be honorable to use such slaves, but it was inevitable that they would be treated as something new and often displayed in front of guests, although they would not be affected by flesh and blood. It is also very humiliating for these decent people.
This time, Bai Fuling got the news that the two daughters who were sold into the Jiaofang Division were the two daughters of the Water Director of the Ministry of Industry. Their father's surname was Xu. They were convicted of flooding the Ning'an River half a month ago. It is another unjust case. .
The elder sister of these two daughters is a pair of childhood sweethearts with the son of Li Langzhong from Hubu. Relying on the power of their respective mothers, the five princesses have always been domineering, and they have to take a fancy to them.
This householder Li Langzhong is used to being honest, the palace sent a servant to his house to reveal that the twelve princesses intended to recruit his son as a son-in-law, and he politely declined on the grounds that his son was already engaged.
Originally, this matter has not been made public, so it's okay to let it go, but for some reason, the news leaked out. The twelve princesses quit, thinking that the noble princess born out of a dignified queen can't even have a man? ! It is simply unreasonable, and the queen said that she would not marry unless it was Mr. Li.
The queen didn't say a word, but immediately there were officials who wanted to please the Xia family, and they took advantage of the flooding of the Ning'an River to slander the head of the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Xu, for embezzling the funds for the Mohe project. He was sentenced to exile and his family members were sold as official slaves. Now, Mr. Li can't marry an official slave, can he? !
The Xu family was not well off, and the two Miss Xu secretly did some needlework for the Nylon Embroidery Workshop. Bai Wei spoke highly of their handiwork, and when she heard the news of their family's disaster, she immediately reported it to Bai Qian who was in the capital. Asked him to come forward to buy him back, but the Secretary of Jiaofang refused to let him go even after paying a high price.
Bai Fuling happened to hear about this, and after thinking about it, she asked Bai Ashi to pretend to be a lame businessman from the countryside, ugly and rude, to buy someone, and sure enough, she bought him for only fifty taels of silver.
"Those two sisters weren't scared by Bai Ashi, were they?" Bai Fuling wanted to laugh when she thought of Bai Ashi's disgusting appearance. When the two sisters of the Xu family saw that the person who bought them was such a wretched man, they probably wanted to hang themselves.
"Hehe, although those two sisters were terribly frightened, they didn't cry. They looked more sad than heartbroken. It was pitiful to look at. Bai Ashi took them out of the Jiaofang Division and was stopped by others. He was willing to give five Bailiang, wanted to buy the two sisters back, but suddenly two people dressed as Imperial Forest Army rushed out of Jiaofangsi, drove away the people blocking the way, and threatened Bai Ashi that the two sisters could not be sold to others, otherwise they would be sold to others. Be careful with your head." Lin Pingzi said.
"Those princesses are really hateful, hehe! One day, I will sell them to the Jiaofang Secretary to make them suffer." I also want to know who it is who will sincerely abuse the sisters of the Xu family.
Lin Pingzi scratched his head and said, "Unless the dynasty changes, it will be... difficult."
The words of two people are definitely treasonous, and Bai Fuling is needless to say. Lin Pingzi lived in the border town most of the time, facing Bai Fuling day and night, and had been brainwashed without knowing it. There were only the two of them here, so I thought of it and exported it.
Bai Fuling stretched her waist and said, "Where did Bai Ashi take her now? Has anyone followed her?"
"That bastard Bai Ashi is clever. He took the two sisters out of the city long ago. When he sent me the letter, the people who followed him had already retreated without worry." If you can get the job done, otherwise Bai Shisan will be able to buy someone without putting on make-up like a bandit, and you won't have to bother Bai Ashi.
"It's a pity that in this way, the two sisters can't stay in the capital area, otherwise it will be bad luck if the twelve princesses find out." The Xu sisters on Baiwei's side can't go, so they can only go first Move them elsewhere. I don't know what the plan of Mr. Li is. If he still insists on not marrying Miss Xu, maybe he can also be kidnapped to work. It is said that Mr. Li is quite famous in the capital.
Bai Fuling thought about it, and said to Lin Pingzi: "When you have time, go get in touch with Mr. Li and see what his plans are. Be careful yourself, don't let any princess catch your eye, otherwise... hey-hey!"
Lin Pingzi shuddered and said: "At worst, I won't be the Duke of this country anymore, and I don't want that kind of woman even if I beat her to death!"
"It's alright, you've got to curry favor with your 'bastard', let him rely on you!" Bai Fuling asked Lin Pingzi to be the loyal duke, in order to make him get closer to Yang Heng. Especially Yang Heng is very likely to be the king of a country in the future, so don't worry if you hug his thigh.
The two of them were chatting and discussing their plans for the future, when suddenly Yang Mei hurried in from the outside and said: "A servant from the palace has come to deliver an order, and I want the Master and Madam to go to the front with you to receive the order!"
Bai Fuling and Lin Pingzi glanced at each other, a decree from the palace? Which song is this sung
It was a fat old eunuch who came to pass the decree. When he saw Mu Peilan, he narrowed his eyes and laughed, and called him "Six Girls". up! Because these six girls refer to the fact that my mother was the sixth-ranked master in Tsing Yi Wei!
This old eunuch and Niangqin are old acquaintances. The heads of Tsing Yiwei report directly to the emperor. Niangqin and the current emperor are not only distant cousins, but also superiors and subordinates. Presumably this old eunuch is the emperor's confidant, so I know These things.
Bai Chou looked indifferent, but Bai Fuling next to him obviously felt that his body was stiff, and he didn't know whether he was guarding against the old eunuch or the emperor in the palace... Uh, it is said that the emperor has a widow's illness and is quite lustful, so it can't be his wife. Dear, do you have some unreasonable thoughts... Bai Fuling was full of gossip plots in his head, and secretly glanced at his father again and again.
The old eunuch's surname is Lei, and he came to deliver an oral order, saying that he has not seen Princess Antai for many days, and has summoned her to live in the palace for a while, and at the same time let Bai Fuling and her daughter enter the palace to accompany her.
This decree is nondescript. If Princess Antai is afraid of being lonely, then she should let her two daughters enter the palace to accompany her. What does it mean to ask them two "outsiders" to accompany her
Mr. Lei passed on the oral order, and came up to talk to Mu Peilan with a smile. Mu Peilan knew something was wrong, and gently held her husband's hand to comfort him silently. She smiled and said to Mr. Lei: "Didn't the princess leave Beijing for something? The two princesses just now He even came to play with my Ling'er."
"Hehe, the princess has just returned to Beijing, and she was taken to the palace by the emperor before she even had time to enter the princess mansion. The sixth girl should tidy up and go back to the palace. The princess has been thinking about you mother and daughter all the way. It just so happened that the emperor mentioned General Lu said that he lost his father when he was young, and he was taken care of by Miss Six's family, and now he is serving the country, and Miss Six's family has made a lot of contributions, so I want to reward him personally." Eunuch Lei smiled amiably, and deliberately mentioned Lu Ying in his words, Mu Peilan's heart turned, and she vaguely understood that the emperor probably wanted Lu Ying to perform some important tasks, so it was an old rule to take care of their mother and daughter, and there was nothing to make a fuss about.
"There are a lot of affairs in the mansion. After I explain to my family, I will go into the palace with my father-in-law." Mu Peilan slipped a bank note to Father-in-law Lei without any trace, thanking him for his reminder. Lei Gonggong's faction was naturally included in his sleeves, and the people next to him didn't even see the specific actions of offering and accepting bribes.
Mu Peilan pleaded guilty and pulled Bai Fuling, Bai Chou, and Lin Pingzi to the back. Seeing that there was no one else around, Bai Chou's face darkened and said, "What does the emperor mean by this?! You are a female family member. Fortunately, he was so kind as to leave you alone for no reason. You are called to enter the palace!"
This tone is really jealous.
Mu Peilan said: "It's probably because he wants Lu Ying to handle some affairs, so he wants to hold our mother and daughter in the palace as hostages. Don't eat this kind of dry vinegar for no reason..."
"Hmph! If you hadn't been poisoned by the Ghost Face Gu, God knows if he would have let you go so easily. Now that you have finally recovered, he..." Bai Chou's face became more and more ugly as he spoke.
Mu Peilan pulled him aside and comforted him in a low voice: "My daughter is so old, do you think I'm still a little girl and everyone is rushing to get her? Besides, the emperor is not really a womanizer, he likes... there are other things. Man, if you eat such unreasonable jealousy, you are not afraid of your daughter's jokes."
Bai Chou snorted coldly, apparently still worried about the imaginary enemy in the palace.
