Ever since Bai Yanqing returned to Bai Mansion, her contact with the Ji family has become much less frequent. The elders of the Ji family were naturally very anxious, fearing that she would suffer a loss in the Bai family. Mrs. Ren, the old lady of the Bai family, is famous for being unreasonable and messy! Others don't know what kind of person she is, how can the Ji family not know?
When Nian Jinchu married into the Bai family, she suffered a lot from the Ren family in the beginning. Later, Ji Jinchu passed away, and the Ren family made a lot of troubles in order to let Bai Jingxuan clear the relationship with the Ji family! These things, one by one, are all things that are engraved in the Ji family's bones! Therefore, how could they not worry about Bai Yanqing's situation?
"I wish you were safe, otherwise, the two old men at home would be so worried that they would have trouble sleeping and eating! By the way, about the beautiful concubine in the palace..."
Ji Nanjing had naturally heard about Concubine Li causing trouble in the Bai Mansion. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dropped what he was doing and rushed over when he learned that Bai Yanqing was bringing someone over for dinner!
"It's just a small matter. Is there anyone I can't deal with?"
Bai Yanqing waved her hand towards Ji Nanjing, her face full of pride. Only when facing the Ji family did Bai Yanqing rarely show a playful look!
"I heard...she is from the Lai family?"
Regarding the details of this beautiful concubine from the common people, not only the emperor would be worried, but naturally there were also people in the court who cared about her! The Ji family's investigation of her was just a matter of convenience. After all, she went to the Bai family's house every three days to cause trouble, and the Ji family was also worried that she would be harmful to Bai Yanqing.
"Um."
Bai Yanqing responded lightly. As for Lai Feiyan's matter, she had never been worried about it. Bai Yanqing didn't know about the existence of Bai Shiheng's family at the beginning, so her first thought was: she would risk her life to reason with the emperor, but Lai Feiyan wouldn't succeed anyway! Of course, this was just Bai Yanqing's thought. She didn't bother to argue with the old emperor until the matter was irreversible!
"Is she the girl from the Lai family who caused you to fall into the lotus pond in the dead of winter?"
Ji Nanjing rarely saw Bai Yanqing, so he naturally wanted to ask everything he could and wanted to ask clearly and clearly!
"Um."
Bai Yanqing nodded. In fact, she rarely mentioned these old events, because she felt that they were not honorable things.
"In that case, we know what's going on."
Ji Nanjing's eyes flashed with a strange light, and his appearance was a bit strange.
"Brother Jing doesn't need you to do anything about her for the time being. I want to... take care of her myself! After all, I don't have much time left before I enter the palace. What do you think? Brother Jing!"
Bai Yanqing's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. Does her brother Jing still think that she is an ignorant child? Bai Yanqing will never let it happen again, the kind of thing that makes enemies happy and relatives painful!
When it was mentioned that Bai Yanqing was about to enter the palace, the light in Ji Nanjing's eyes suddenly disappeared.
"After you enter the palace, we...I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again!"
Ji Nanjing suddenly felt a little disappointed. The sister he had watched grow up was about to get married after all. Besides, the person she wants to marry in the future will still be locked up in the palace. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see her again for the rest of her life! Thinking of this, Ji Nanjing felt uncomfortable for no reason!
"Brother Jing looks like I'm about to die! I can't see you anywhere? If I miss you, I can just sneak out! When the time comes, you have to make an agreement with your grandfather to Leave a crack in the Ji family's door for me, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in!"
Bai Yanqing's few funny words finally made Ji Nanjing's sadness disappear.
"By the way, Brother Jing, I have one more thing to ask for!"
Bai Yanqing pulled Ji Nanjing and quietly took him to look at Bai Junzhi, and then told Ji Nanjing that she wanted to recommend Bai Junzhi to join the Ji family's military camp.
"I tested brother Junzhi, and he is an upright and kind-hearted man! I hope my grandfather will accept him by then!"
Bai Yanqing pulled Ji Nanjing's sleeve and begged.
"The Bai family? I can't say whether my grandfather will accept them or not!"
Ji Nanjing was a little embarrassed. He had followed his father in business and had never been involved in government affairs. The issue of recruiting new soldiers for the army was
, it is Old General Ji who has to make the decision.
"However, if you are willing to meet your grandfather in person, maybe... he will nod!"
Ji Nanjing looked at Bai Yanqing with shrewd eyes.
"It's not that I don't want to see you, it's that I don't dare to see you! At this time of crisis, if I go to the Ji family now, I'm afraid it will cause even greater trouble for the Ji family! You also know that the emperor has always been afraid of Bai and Ji. If the two families let him know that I still have contacts with the Ji family at this time, I'm afraid it will be even worse for the Ji family!"
Why doesn't Bai Yanqing not want to meet her grandfather and uncle, whom she misses day and night? It's just that under this current situation, she doesn't dare to have any contact with the Ji family!
Ji Nanjing was naturally aware of Bai Yanqing's difficulties. He didn't force her, he was just teasing her!
"Don't worry! I will have a good talk with my grandfather."
Ji Nanjing patted Bai Yanqing's shoulder and agreed.
With Ji Nanjing's guarantee, Bai Yanqing felt relieved!
Bai Junzhi, this child, has a good temperament. If he takes the right path in the future, he will definitely have a bright future! At this time, Bai Yanqing just wants to help Bai Shiheng's family. If Bai Junzhi can win fame for himself, it will be of great benefit to them when they return to the Bai family in the future!
At this time, Bai Yanqing may not know that her gang, Bai Junzhi, will spend the rest of his life protecting her in the next few years!
"Okay! What does Brother Jing want to eat today? It's all on my account!"
Bai Yanqing patted her chest grandly and looked like she was giving money generously, which really made Ji Nanjing laugh and bend over!
With just a few taels of silver this little girl has, how many dishes can she treat Ji Nanjing to?
Bai Yanqing has come to Qingfeng Restaurant several times, but she has never paid out of her own pocket. How does she know that the dishes at Qingfeng Restaurant are not affordable for ordinary people?
"Forget it, the few pieces of silver in your hand are not enough for me to fill my teeth!"
Ji Nanjing smiled. When he reached his own territory, how could he be willing to let his precious sister pay for it?
"Okay! Mr. Yuki will pay for today's consumption!"
Bai Yanqing didn't show any pretense. With a wave of her hand, it was decided who would pay the bill!
Ji Nanjing looked at the clever little devil in front of him, his eyes full of adoration. Not to mention being blackmailed by her, she was blackmailing him every day, and Ji Nanjing was willing to do so! In the Ji family, it's not just the two old men who love Bai Yanqing. Ji Nanjing's love for Bai Yanqing is as much as theirs!
"Go! Go and accompany them! If you leave for a long time, they will be suspicious. That cousin of yours is not a piece of cake!"
Even from a distance, Ji Nanjing could see clearly that Bai Junzhi was not a fool. It was precisely because of this that Ji Nanjing agreed to Bai Yanqing's request, knowing that Bai Junzhi would be killed. Hui Ji, old general!
"Brother Jing, before you go out next time, in addition to scenting your clothes, you need to be more careful... there are blood stains on the hem of your clothes!"
Before turning around and leaving, Bai Yanqing wiped away all the naughtiness on her face, glanced at the hem of Ji Nanjing's lower clothes, and then said meaningfully to Ji Nanjing.
Ji Nanjing was startled when he heard this. His eyes widened with disbelief! Could it be that...she saw something?
"I already knew it!"
When Bai Yanqing stepped out of the threshold, she paused for a moment, then left with a few words of unknown meaning!
"I already knew it!"
"I already knew it!"
"I already knew it!"
Bai Yanqing's words kept echoing in Ji Nanjing's mind!
Since when did she stop being an ignorant little girl? Ji Nanjing looked at Bai Yanqing's retreating background and thought for a long, long time...
In the side room, Lai Bizhi and the others, who had not waited for Bai Yanqing to come back for a long time, were obviously unable to sit still. She was about to go out to find Bai Yanqing, but she saw Bai Yanqing walking over with a plate of pastries in her hand!
"Sister, you can't leave me for a moment. I just went to pick out the dishes for a while, and you can't wait to find me?"
Bai Yanqing teased Lai Bizhi with a smile, then handed the snacks in her hand to Cai Xing and asked her to put them on the table.
"You girl, you are talking more and more out of tune! Aren't I afraid that you will get lost? After all, this Qingfeng Building is so big, and each wing is decorated the same. Not only you, but also me, too There will be trouble!"
Lai Bizhi explained dumbfounded.
"Sister Yan Qing, you won't make mistakes."
Just when sisters Lai Bizhi and Bai Yanqing were joking with each other, Bai Junzhi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said this.
Lai Bizhi didn't take it seriously, just thinking that Bai Junzhi was praising Bai Yanqing! After hearing this, Bai Yanqing looked at Bai Junzhi with unclear meaning: It seems that Brother Jing is right, Bai Junzhi is not that elm-headed person!
That's fine. Previously, Bai Yanqing was worried that Bai Junzhi was too simple-minded and that he would be bullied by his peers after joining the army. But now it seems that Bai Yanqing is overly worried!
"This... can we finish eating?"
Looking at the large table of dishes, Lai Bizhi was shocked! Including Cai Xing, there are only four of them. How could they eat so much?
"Put it back if you can't finish it, keep eating!"
Bai Yanqing waved her hands grandly, her posture looked like that of a wealthy girl!
In fact, none of these dishes were ordered by Bai Yanqing. Ji Nanjing ordered the shopkeeper to prepare them. Every one of Qingfenglou's signature dishes was served to them!
"So much...do we have enough money?"
Lai Bizhi took out her money bag pitifully, but it was already empty. When she was shopping outside just now, she was busy buying rouge and gouache.
"Don't worry! I'm here!"
Seeing Lai Bizhi's distressed expression, Bai Yanqing secretly felt funny! They say businessmen are shrewd and stingy. Look at Lai Bizhi, isn't that right?
In the past, Lai Bizhi lived the life of a young lady with no worries about food and clothing. How could she have imagined that she would be short of money? Now, she has begun to learn how to do business and run a shop. Countless dollars pass through her hands every day. She has also begun to understand that making money is not easy, and spending money is rare!
Unknowingly, Bai Yanqing and the others had been staying in Qingfeng Tower for a long time. By the time they finished their meal, the sky was getting dark.
"Miss, it's time to go home! If it's too late, I'll be worried!"
Cai Xing looked at the darkening sky, feeling a little anxious, and hurriedly urged Bai Yanqing.
"The sun has not set yet, why are you panicking?"
Bai Yanqing stood up unhurriedly, instructing the waiter at Qingfeng Tower to put the uneaten snacks into food boxes, while chatting with Cai Xing.
Cai Xing had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and help the waiter pack the remaining things.
Seeing that everything was packed, Bai Yanqing, under Cai Xing's repeated urging, turned back step by step and walked towards the door of Qingfeng Tower.
When they arrived outside Qingfeng Tower, there was already a carriage waiting for them. Bai Yanqing looked at the familiar face of the driver, and felt warm in her heart. It was the person next to Ji Nanjing!
Bai Yanqing quietly paused, a few steps behind Lai Bizhi and the others. When the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Tower went out to see them off, she quickly took out a small porcelain bottle and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand!
"Since Brother Jing is injured, let him rest more in the house these days and stop walking around! This excellent golden sore medicine will be beneficial to him!"
The shopkeeper took the porcelain bottle and was stunned. He didn't expect that Bai Yanqing was so meticulous!
"Thank you for me... Brother Jing!"
After Bai Yanqing finished speaking, she stepped forward, walked a few steps quickly, and caught up with Lai Bizhi and the others!
