The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1147: self-assessment
Chapter 1147 Acting on one’s own initiative
Even though the Tianfeng people could use bone whistles to control the giant elephants, once the elephants were choked and unable to breathe, they would ignore the sound of the bone whistles and just scream and trample around. This… had been confirmed in the battle with Han Wenshan.
“As long as Yan State cooperates well, we can wipe out Tianfeng State’s elephant army here!” Bai Jinxiu held the sword at his waist and spoke solemnly.

At this time, Bai Qingyan had already joined up with the Bai family army led by Bai Qingqi, Bai Qingjue and Wei Zhaonian.
Bai Qingqi and Bai Qingjue, along with Bai Qingyun and their three younger sisters, as well as General Wei Zhaonian, had been waiting for Bai Qingyan in front of the military camp for a long time.
Bai Jinhua, who was also wearing silver armor, was very anxious: “Why hasn’t my elder sister come yet? Did something happen on the way?”
“Pooh, pooh, pooh!” Bai Jinzhao said quickly, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Bai Jinse gathered the blanket around Bai Qingyun, who was sitting in a wooden wheelchair. Just as she was about to ask her ninth brother if he was cold, she vaguely saw the outlines of a team and carriages vaguely visible in the winter fog in the distance.
“Here they come! Third brother! Seventh brother! Ninth brother… they’re here!” Bai Jinse pointed to the distance.
Bai Jinzhao smiled: “Brother…I’ll go and greet my elder sister!”
After saying that, Bai Jinzhao blew a whistle, and a brown horse rushed out of the military camp. She grabbed the horse’s reins and jumped on, galloping away into the distance.
Shen Qingzhu, who was riding in the front, first heard the sound of copper bells from someone riding a horse in the thick fog. When she got closer, she saw a figure on a horse galloping towards her. Before she could figure out who it was, she heard Bai Jinzhao’s voice calling “elder sister”.
Shen Qingzhu released the hand that was holding the sword at his waist, turned around and said to a Bai family guard, “Go tell the eldest lady that the fifth lady is here to pick her up!”
The guard of the Bai family turned his horse’s head in response, walked to the side of the carriage, and whispered to Bai Qingyan in the carriage: “Miss, the fifth lady is here to pick you up…”
Bai Qingyan, who was leaning against the hidden bag and reading the bamboo slips, smiled, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and said, “Let the fifth lady get on the carriage.”
“yes!”
Bai Jinzhao came on a fast horse, and the first person he saw was Shen Qingzhu. The horse passed by at a rapid speed, leaving only a very crisp “Sister Qingzhu” behind, and then galloped towards the carriage.
Shen Qingzhu raised his hand to signal the team to stop moving.
“Whoa…” Bai Jinzhao stopped his horse as soon as he arrived beside the carriage.
Chunzhi had already come out of the carriage and smiled at Bai Jinzhao who jumped off the horse with a swift and dashing movement: “Fifth Miss!”
Bai Jinzhao smiled at Chunzhi, threw the whip to the guard, and got on the carriage: “Eldest sister!”
Bai Qingyan had already sat up. Seeing Bai Jinzhao had grown taller, she lifted the velvet blanket covering her legs and handed the hand warmer in her hand to Bai Jinzhao, smiling slightly: “Our Xiaowu looks a lot taller!”
Bai Jinzhao took the hand warmer, afraid that his coldness would pass to his elder sister, so he sat beside the stove and stretched out one hand to warm himself: “Not only have I grown taller, elder sister, haven’t you seen Xiaoqi… This little girl can endure more hardships than Xiaoliu and me. In just a few months in southern Xinjiang, this girl has changed every day, and now she is taller than me!”
Although Bai Jinzhao became darker and thinner after coming to the frontier, he looked happier than when he was in the bustling capital and Shuoyang, and his eyes were sparkling.
“Sister, you’ve grown a lot taller now!” Bai Qingyan reached out and pulled Bai Jinzhao to her side, then raised her hand and touched Bai Jinzhao’s cold little face.
Looking at the little girl who used to have two buns on her head, was fair and tender, acted coquettishly to her, and picked red plums for her, she has now grown into a tall and slender girl wearing silver armor, with long hair tied on top of her head, looking heroic. I feel like my daughter has grown up.
“Fifth Miss, drink some hot oil tea to warm yourself up!” Chunzhi smiled and handed the bowl of oil tea to Bai Jinzhao.
Bai Jinzhao smiled and picked up the oil tea and drank it down in one gulp. As expected, he felt warm all over.
“Sister, before we get to the military camp, I have to tell you something!” Bai Jinzhao felt that the coldness on his body was not so severe, so he moved closer to Bai Qingyan and whispered, “Sister, when Aunt Lu came with us to Southern Xinjiang, she saved a girl who fell off a carriage on the road. After waking up, the girl didn’t remember anything, even her name. Aunt Lu took the girl as her apprentice and named her Lu Lechen. She taught her medical skills. She is a very smart girl and a very kind person, but she is very brave. This girl… has fallen in love with my third brother!”
Bai Jinzhao looked gloating, and told Bai Qingyan with great joy: “Now the whole military camp knows that Miss Lechen likes Third Brother. She likes Third Brother so much that it’s so overwhelming. Even though Third Brother always treats her coldly, Miss Lechen has never backed down! Xiaoqi said… Miss Lechen’s temper is like fire, which matches well with Third Brother’s icy temper. And although she can’t remember anything, the accessories on her body and her manners are ingrained in her bones. She is not from an ordinary wealthy family. When I heard what Xiaoqi said, it seemed pretty good! Eldest sister, we are trying to match Miss Lechen with Third Brother recently. If you come, please talk to Third Brother and be more polite to Miss Lechen!”
Bai Qingyan became interested when she heard this. Bai Qingqi was not young anymore. Before she left the capital, her mother and her husband wanted to marry the granddaughter of General Lu to Aqi. However, the fifth aunt said that our Bai family is already a royal family. She did not want Aqi’s in-laws to have too high a status, otherwise it would inevitably lead to speculation among the court officials. She just wanted Aqi to find a girl he liked.
In fact, Bai Qingyan understood that Fifth Aunt was thinking about her. As a woman, she sat on the throne of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Fifth Aunt was afraid that Aqi’s Yue family background was too strong. If someone wanted to dethrone her, she would have to support another member of the Bai family.
“She has a fiery temper. So…it really complements your third brother’s temperament, but…” Bai Qingyan raised his hand and tapped Bai Jinzhao’s forehead, “It’s your third brother who is going to marry, so it’s up to him to choose the wife he wants. Don’t act on your own and try to force a match!”
“But I think Third Brother actually likes Miss Lechen very much, but he is stubborn, especially in front of us brothers and sisters, he likes to act pretentiously! Big sister, you must talk to Third Brother, and Third Brother will listen to you!” Bai Jinzhao squeezed in front of Bai Qingyan like a child, “If you don’t believe me, just go and see when Big sister arrives! If I’m talking nonsense, Big sister, just punish me!”
Bai Qingyan’s smile deepened: “If you are talking nonsense, I don’t have to punish you. I will just send you back to Fourth Aunt!”
As the two sisters were talking, the convoy arrived at the gate of the military camp and the rickety carriage stopped.
