The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1019: Family Law Disposal
Chapter 1019 Family Law Disposal
“Jintong is here…” Bai Qingyan put down his pen, took a handkerchief from the black lacquer and gold-painted square plate beside him and wiped his hands, “Sit down!”
“I and Chunzhi will go make tea and snacks for the third young lady.” Chuntao stood up with a smile, bowed with Chunzhi and then retreated.
Bai Jintong knelt down opposite Bai Qingyan and looked at her worriedly: “Eldest sister, are you… pregnant?”
Bai Qingyan nodded and handed the news sent back by Hancheng Express Horse to Bai Jintong: “This is the news sent back by Xiao Si and Mr. Cai.”
Bai Jintong took it and looked through it carefully. “The small island country that was previously a vassal state of Daliang sent people to Daliang to pay tribute. Xiao Si asked the third prince of Daliang to receive them. I have been to this small island country. It is a tiny place… even worse than the Shu Kingdom back then.”
Bai Qingyan nodded, put the wet towel aside and said, “This small island country is nothing to be afraid of. Mr. Cai probably thought that since Daliang was gone, he would submit to Da Zhou and pay tribute to Da Zhou. He thought that this time he could let King Hancheng accompany the tribute envoys to Dadu and keep King Hancheng in Dadu. In this way, those villains who still want to restore Liang will stop.”
After listening to Bai Qingyan’s words, Bai Jintong nodded and carefully read the secret report in his hand. Then he heard Bai Qingyan say: “Jintong, my elder sister wants you to go to Yan State…”
Bai Jintong looked up at Bai Qingyan: “Sir, please tell me clearly.”
“The world’s richest businessman, Xiao Rongyan, is the ninth prince of Dayan… Murong Yan.”
Bai Jintong’s face changed, and his eyes subconsciously looked at Bai Qingyan’s abdomen.
“We have different philosophies in governing the country from Great Zhou and Great Yan. We have agreed that we will not talk about personal feelings when it comes to important matters. I want you to remember… Treat Great Yan and Murong Yan as opponents worthy of respect.” Bai Qingyan solemnly reminded Bai Jintong, “Because of the disagreement between Great Yan and Great Zhou on national policy, Great Yan will definitely be the biggest obstacle to the unification of the country in the future. You must not take it lightly.”
Bai Jintong saw that her elder sister was serious and straightened her back: “Jintong understands!”
Hearing her elder sister say this, Bai Jintong suddenly felt relieved, and she also understood that Xiao Rongyan’s death after marriage was just a way for him to escape. In this way, she was not afraid that her elder sister would keep the pain in her heart.
At least the person my eldest sister loved did not die.
However, Bai Jintong also understood that since her elder sister could say this to her, she must have a firm determination and should put official matters aside and ignore personal feelings, so Bai Jintong should do the same.
“Now, your advantage is that Dayan and Murong Yan don’t know your identity. You can still trade as Cui Fengnian and travel to Yan State. We have already made some arrangements in Yan State. I will hand over all the people to you later… but they don’t have to be assigned to Cui’s Trading Company!” Bai Qing said calmly, “Of course, Murong Yan used to travel between countries as a businessman and established an intelligence network for Yan State. Naturally, the investigation of merchants will be more strict. You must be very careful!”
Bai Jintong nodded.
“We sent back news that although Yan State is not particularly short of food…but the people’s food rations are just barely enough with Southern Yan and Wei.” Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Jintong steadily, “Although Xiliang has gone to Tianfeng State for help, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, and the food problem must be solved.”
Bai Jintong nodded again.
“So you can use food… to invade Dayan.” Bai Qingyan whispered to Bai Jintong, “The price must be high, and you must act like a businessman pursuing profit.”
“Don’t worry, elder sister. Jintong understands!” Bai Jintong nodded.
“You just came back. I shouldn’t have troubled you to make this trip…”
“The Great Zhou is in need of people right now. At least my identity as Cui Fengnian is of some use. I am very happy that I can contribute to the unification of the Great Zhou!” Bai Jintong smiled. Thinking of the Bai family in southern Xinjiang, his eyes reddened. “I am very satisfied to see my brothers alive and to be able to fulfill the Bai family’s ambitions with my family!”
Bai Qingyan raised his hand and touched the top of Bai Jintong’s head. He had no worries about Bai Jintong.
“Spend time with Third Aunt today, and we’ll set off tomorrow. I’ll have someone prepare food for you, as well as the Yunwu tea that was once popular in Daliang, and some other goods that Dayan doesn’t have.” She said softly to her third sister.
“Yeah!” Bai Jintong responded.
On the eighth day of the ninth month in the early year of Yuanhe, Bai Jintong, who had just returned to the capital, set out for Dayan again as Cui Fengnian.
On September 20th of the first year of Yuanhe, Princess Gaoyi Bai Jinzhi rode back to the capital alone on horseback, while General Zhao Sheng led his troops at a fast pace and had not yet arrived in Dadu.
When in Hancheng, Bai Jinzhi heard that on the day his eldest sister ascended the throne, his third brother Bai Qingqi, seventh brother Bai Qingjue and ninth brother Bai Qingyun all returned. When he got the news, Bai Jinzhi locked himself in the room and burst into tears.
Later, when the second sister Bai Jinxiu arrived, Bai Jinzhi could not wait and rode to Dadu that night. He did not even wait for Zhao Sheng and instructed Mr. Cai to lead the troops back to Dadu with Zhao Sheng.
Bai Jinzhi returned in a grand manner. As soon as she entered the city that day… Bai Jinzhi thought that Bai Qingyan was pregnant with her little nephew or niece, and as the fourth aunt, she had to prepare a gift for the meeting.
After entering the city, he went to choose a gift for his eldest sister’s unborn baby. Coincidentally, he met a few men who were grumbling about the fact that women could now study and take the imperial examinations. Bai Jin was so childish that he argued with the group of men, probably because he had not read much… The one he met was a pedantic scholar who talked a lot about all sorts of things. Bai Jin took out his whip and started whipping them, alarming the patrol camp.
The one leading the patrol battalion now is none other than Lupin…
When Lupin arrived with the patrol camp, the people who came to watch the fun surrounded the store in three layers. They saw the guards brought back by their fourth daughter surrounded the store entrance. Their fourth daughter stood inside the store, blocking the door, and brandished the whip with great power, trapping those corrupt scholars in the store. The whip seemed soft, but it went around the lacquered pillar and hit the men’s faces with incredible precision.
While Lupin was impressed that the fourth girl’s whip skills had improved, he hurried forward to stop her.
After much persuasion, Bai Jinzhi was stopped. Bai Jinzhi pointed his whip at the corrupt scholar who was covering his wound and crying out in pain, and said, “You are incompetent at everything, yet you still dare to complain about everything! Why can only men be officials? Why don’t you say that only men can fight in wars? You hide at the back when fighting, and hide at the back when you need to fight. My eldest sister ruled the world… Women can be emperors, so what’s wrong with being an official?! Go and take the imperial examination to beat women! Don’t give women the chance to be officials!”
“Alright, Fourth Miss! Let’s go see the eldest lady first!” Lupin advised in a low voice, “You whip the people, be careful of the punishment from the eldest lady!”
Bai Jinzhi: “…”
Uncle Ping is talking about something that is not relevant.
But now that I have started, I have to finish what I want to say.
The third update, continue to ask for monthly tickets…
