The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 659 Test
If there is such a problem with food in northern Xinjiang, what about southern Xinjiang? Will there also be such a problem with the food of the Bai family army?
“What are you thinking about?” Huang Arong pushed Bai Jinzhi.
Bai Jinzhi came back to his senses and shook his head, then curled his lips at Huang Arong and said, “No, I’m just worried about my elder sister!”
When Huang Arong heard what Bai Jinzhi said, she quickly put down the melon seeds in her hand, grabbed Bai Jinzhi’s hand and comforted her, “Princess Zhenguo is blessed with a long life, she will be fine! And last time, Doctor Hong said that as long as Princess Zhenguo can survive the first three days, she will be safe! Look… five days have passed. From now on, you should listen to your elder sister and don’t make her angry. Your elder sister will definitely live a long life!”
“You are the one who is angry with your father-in-law!” Bai Jinzhi gave Huang Arong a cold look and pulled his hand back.
Huang Arong didn’t care and said with a smile: “Then I won’t be angry with my father-in-law anymore. May my father-in-law and your elder sister live long and safe!”
Bai Jinzhi chuckled.
Although Huang Arong just glossed over the matter of military rations, Bai Jinzhi took it to heart and decided to go back and talk to her elder sister about it and look into the matter of military rations in detail.
Huang Arong knew that something happened in the Bai family, and she came here to comfort Bai Jinzhi. She didn’t want to stay in the Bai Mansion and disturb them any longer, so she sat for a while and then said goodbye and left.
As soon as Huang Arong left, Bai Jinzhi went to Qinghuiyuan.
Chuntao had just served Bai Qingyan some medicine and was holding a plate of pitted hawthorns pickled in honey for Bai Qingyan to try for a change of taste.
Seeing Bai Qingyan pick up a piece with silver chopsticks and put it into his mouth, Chuntao whispered again: “Second Miss went to the kitchen with Luo Ma to stew blood-replenishing medicinal food for the eldest lady. Does the eldest lady want to sleep for a while? Or is it because of the severe pain that you can’t sleep?”
“I’ve been recuperating these days and have slept a lot, not too much…” Bai Qingyan raised her hand and rubbed her arm, which she couldn’t lift yet. Just as she asked Chuntao to get her a book, she heard the maidservants outside calling the fourth young lady in a row.
Bai Qingyan ordered: “Leave this plate of hawthorns for Xiao Si to taste!”
It just so happened that Bai Qingyan also wanted to tell her about his plan to let Bai Jinzhi go to Anping camp… and try to control the Anping army.
Anping Camp is not far from Dengzhou, where her grandmother and uncle can take care of her without having to protect her under their noses. It is a good place for Bai Jinzhi to gain experience, killing two birds with one stone.
It’s not that Bai Qingyan is cruel, but he puts such a heavy burden on Bai Jinzhi at such a young age…
Although the sword is sharp, it will not break if it is not sharp.
Even if one has beautiful talents, he cannot achieve great things without learning.
Bai Jinzhi has a talent for marching and fighting, but keeping it by her side would only bury it. A good sword is forged through repeated grinding… Bai Qingyan believes that as long as Bai Jinzhi is willing, she will be able to carve out a place for herself in the Anping camp.
Bai Jinzhi came in through the curtains, called out “elder sister”, and hurriedly walked around the screen…
Chuntao smiled and saluted Bai Jinzhi, who nodded slightly and sat down beside Bai Qingyan’s bed: “Eldest sister, Huang’s Arong came just now.”
“Yes, I know…”
“Huang Jia’s Arong told me about those playboys in the capital city who followed Lu Yuanpeng to join the army. They all came back because they couldn’t stand the hardship. They said… the military rations sent to the northern border were mixed with sand. A mouthful of rice… a few grains of sand. I was thinking… if that’s the case, will the military rations sent to the southern border for our Bai family army also have problems?” Bai Jinzhi’s expression was angry and solemn.
The Jin State was so big, and it was counting on these soldiers to guard the border, but it was making a fuss about their food rations. What was it trying to do? !
Bai Qingyan raised his eyes and signaled Chuntao, who immediately nodded and went out to guard outside the door.
Bai Qingyan frowned. If there was a problem with the Bai family army’s food… General Shen Kunyang would have reported it in time and would never swallow his anger.
But perhaps the generals of the Bai family army were afraid of embarrassing her, so Bai Qingyan looked up at Bai Jinzhi and said, “Go and ask Uncle Ping to send someone to southern Xinjiang to ask if there is any problem with the food and wages sent to southern Xinjiang, and then send someone to investigate… See if these playboys who returned from the army are the only ones who say that the food is mixed with sand, or if they all say so!”
“Okay! I’ll do it right away!” Bai Jinzhi nodded.
A gatekeeper came to report outside the courtyard that Murong Li, the hostage of Dayan, was coming to visit the Princess Zhenguo.
It seems that I can’t tell Bai Jinzhi about going to Anping Camp today.
“The hostage of Dayan, Murong Li, has always been on good terms with Lu Yuanpeng and his group. You can start with Murong Li and find out about the military rations in the northern border…” Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Jinzhi and spoke softly, “Go and meet him on behalf of your elder sister. How is your elder sister’s health… You know what to say.”
Bai Jinzhi stood up and bowed to Bai Qingyan: “Don’t worry, elder sister! Xiao Si will definitely not do anything bad.”
“Go ahead!” Bai Qingyan leaned on the hidden bag and said to Bai Jinzhi with a smile, “I am very confident in Xiao Si’s work.”
Bai Jinzhi raised her eyes and opened her mouth… She wanted to tell Bai Qing that she had not handled Bai Qiyun’s matter well, and in the end it was her aunt who had to clean up the mess for her. But when the words came to her lips, Bai Jinzhi was too embarrassed to say it. She left Qinghui Courtyard with a feeling of guilt and went to see Murong Li on behalf of her elder sister.
Watching Bai Jinzhi leave, Bai Qingyan’s smile faded and he began to think carefully about the military rations.
If the matter of military rations is true…it is either related to the Minister of Revenue Chu Zhongxing, or it is related to the Vice Minister of Revenue Li Mingrui.
Needless to say, Li Mingrui has the support of his father, Li Mao, the left prime minister, and the Minister of Revenue Chu Zhongxing… Bai Qingyan knows that he is Li Mao’s man.
Li Mao also knew that she was holding the handwritten letter he had written to the second prince. Unless he was extremely bold, he would never dare to do anything with the Bai family army’s rations.
Chuntao was just about to get Bai Qingyan a pot of hot red date tea when Lupin came to ask for a meeting.
Chun Tao handed the teapot to the maid next to her, opened the curtain and walked in, saying, “Miss…Guard Lupin is here!”
Bai Qingyan straightened the corner of the quilt and said, “Please ask Uncle Ping to come in…”
Soon, Chuntao brought Lupin in.
Across the screen, Lupin bowed to Bai Qingyan and said, “Miss… Today someone slipped a letter through the side door of our Bai Mansion. There was no signature, only that he wanted to meet with her. He only wrote the location and said that he had something important to discuss.”
Chuntao stepped forward, took the letter from Lupin’s hand, walked around the screen and handed it to Bai Qingyan who was sitting on the bed.
Bai Qingyan unfolded the letter and took a look. Although he didn’t know whose handwriting it was, he thought the sender was probably testing him…
Yanque Tower, the No. 1 private room, tomorrow at noon.
Bai Qingyan pursed his lips and said, “Uncle Ping, take this letter and go to Yanque Tower in person to ask who has booked the No. 1 private room tomorrow. Who has booked… Tell the prince to send someone to accompany you and return this letter to the writer. Ask… Knowing that I was seriously injured, why did you send the letter to ask me to go to the appointment? What’s your intention!”
