The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 802: Lunar New Year’s eve
Chapter 802 New Year’s Eve
Bai Qingyan’s palms tightened, her fingers almost piercing through the letter. She threw the letter into the brazier, stood up and walked behind the desk, then picked up the pen to write a reply to Bai Jinxiu.
In the letter, she told Bai Jinxiu that no matter the emperor wanted to bring five hundred boys and girls to the Nine-Layered Platform to use their lives to refine the elixir of immortality or just to go to the platform to ask for the elixir of life, she should spread the news that the emperor wanted to use the five hundred boys and girls to refine the elixir and keep the matter secret, so as to cause panic among the people in Jin State.
In this case, Lu Xiang and others would certainly dissuade the emperor and the prince in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in Jin.
Even if the emperor cannot be persuaded, the common people will be wary when they hear the news. They will not rush to send their children to walk up the Nine-Story Terrace with the emperor when they hear that they are going to walk up the Nine-Story Terrace with the emperor. If there are rumors… the people will not hand their children over to Li Mingrui and let the emperor take their children to the Nine-Story Terrace.
If this still cannot stop the emperor’s determination to gather all the boys and girls, then Bai Qingyan will not have much time left. She must capture Hancheng, the capital of Daliang, before the Nine-Layered Terrace is completed.
In addition, Bai Qingyan asked Bai Jinxiu to send more people to monitor Fan Yuhuai’s family together, and if necessary, find an opportunity to bribe the servants of the Fan Mansion.
After writing all this, she hesitated for a moment, and finally wrote at the end of the letter that Bai Jinxiu and Qin Lang should go to Baiwo City together. Firstly, Wang Ge’er was still young and it would not be good for the child to leave his father. Secondly… Qin Lang also needed someone to take care of him.
But Bai Qingyan did not say the most important point. She hoped that Bai Jinxiu would leave the capital city because after they captured Hancheng, they would rise up against the Jin Dynasty. It would make too much noise to transfer Bai Jinxiu and Wang Ge’er away at that time.
This time…it just so happened that the prince sent Qin Lang to Baiwo City to take up his post a year later, so Bai Jinxiu went to take up the post together with Qin Lang, which was perfectly legitimate.
As for the Qin Mansion in the capital city, let Jiang Fengchun’s two daughters deal with it on their own!
The other one is Xiao Qi, who is still with her grandmother…
However, Bai Qingyan firmly believed that if she really raised an army to rebel against Jin, her grandmother would still protect her granddaughter Xiaoqi.
However, Bai Qingyan still asked Bai Jinxiu to remind Xiaoqi and Bai Jinse in the letter that Fan Yuhuai’s whereabouts were unknown. If there was any trouble in the capital city, they must be smart. They can trust their grandmother, but not completely. They must prepare themselves in advance according to the situation.
In addition, after Bai Jinxiu left, she handed over all her secret guards to Fu Ruoxi, and left the task of collecting information about the capital city to Fu Ruoxi.
She wrote her words very obscurely because she was afraid to tell Bai Jinxiu directly that she would rebel after taking Daliang Hancheng. Bai Jinxiu would definitely risk her life to stay in the capital to collect information for her.
But in her heart, her sister’s safety is more important than anything else.
After writing the letter, Bai Qingyan sealed it and handed it to Shen Qingzhu: “Send a reliable person to deliver the letter back to the capital city day and night.”
Shen Qingzhu nodded, and when he walked out of the big tent with Bai Qingyan’s letter, he happened to meet Doctor Hong who was carrying a medicine box into Bai Qingyan’s tent.
Doctor Hong smiled and took out a red purse from his arms and handed it to Shen Qingzhu: “Here…Qingzhu girl, this is for you to get lucky!”
Shen Qingzhu was startled, then took it with both hands and thanked him: “Thank you, Doctor Hong!”
After saying that, Shen Qingzhu hurriedly went to call the Bai family guards. She did not dare to delay and immediately ordered someone to deliver the letter to Bai Jinxiu.
Bai Qingyan heard Doctor Hong’s voice and came out to greet him: “Doctor Hong, why aren’t you joining them in the front?”
Doctor Hong smiled and walked into the big tent with Bai Qingyan. He put down the medicine box, stretched out his cold hands to warm them on the brazier, and said, “I’m old, and the group of children in front are too noisy. Come… I’ll check your pulse!”
Doctor Hong placed the pulse pillow on the desk, asked Bai Qingyan to sit down, and pushed the brazier towards Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan knelt obediently in front of Doctor Hong and stretched out his hand for Doctor Hong to feel his pulse.
Doctor Hong rubbed his hot hands together, then reached out and pressed Bai Qingyan’s wrist pulse, lowering his eyes to think carefully.
After a while, Doctor Hong withdrew his hand, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense: “It seems that it is time to change the prescription for the young lady.”
This means that Bai Qingyan’s health is better than before and the prescription needs to be adjusted.
Bai Qingyan straightened his sleeves and looked up to see Doctor Hong handing him a red purse: “Here…”
Bai Qingyan was slightly startled and looked at Doctor Hong in astonishment: “What is this?”
“This year, we are spending the New Year away from home. I will flatter you and act like I am half your elder, giving you a happy New Year gift.” Doctor Hong smiled kindly. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were illuminated by the candlelight, and brown spots could be seen faintly.
Hearing this, her eyes welled up, and she took the red envelope from Doctor Hong with both hands, saying, “Qingyan has been raised by Doctor Hong since she was a child. In Qingyan’s heart… Doctor Hong is no different from her grandfather.”
Doctor Hong nodded, packed up the medicine box, stood up and said, “Miss, please go to bed early. I will go back and think about it tonight… I will give you a new prescription tomorrow.”
“Goodbye, Doctor Hong!” Bai Qingyan stood up to see him off.
Watching Doctor Hong leave, Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes and stared at the red purse in his hand in the light of the candle in the big tent. There was nothing embroidered on it. It was different from the purses Bai Qingyan had received before. It was just made of two pieces of red cloth and sewn a few stitches with red thread. It seemed that Doctor Hong had made it up temporarily.
But…even with such a purse, Bai Qingyan felt it was heavy, warm and cozy in his hand.
In Dr. Hong’s heart, she has always been a child.
Tonight is New Year’s Eve. If it were in Dadu or Shuoyang, there would surely be snow all over the sky, but there is no snow in Daliang in winter.
At this time, there is no bright moon in the night sky, only sparse stars.
Bai Qingyan looked up at the bright night sky, stroked her purse with her fingers, turned around and was about to go into the tent… Suddenly, a stone gently fell on the tent curtain on the right side of Bai Qingyan. She turned around and saw Xiao Rongyan walking out calmly from behind the tree.
Xiao Rongyan was dressed in black and had a black cloak with a hood. He walked out from behind the tree and took off the hood. He looked at Bai Qingyan with his deep, dark eyes, a warm smile in his eyes.
The last time I met Xiao Rongyan was on February 18th at Kongtong Mountain Posthouse. That night Bai Qingyan was attacked… Xiao Rongyan happened to be there too.
On Bai Qingyan’s birthday this year, although Bai Qingyan knew that Xiao Rongyan was now tied to Dayan, he still secretly hoped in his heart whether Xiao Rongyan would suddenly appear.
Later, Xiao Rongyan failed to come and didn’t even send a letter. Bai Qingyan felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that Xiao Rongyan was too busy to come, so he ate a bowl of longevity noodles. After all, he was fighting outside… and couldn’t care about so many things.
Xiao Rongyan did not show up on her birthday, and she thought that the next time they met, they would definitely be on opposite sides. Who would have thought… that she would actually see Xiao Rongyan on New Year’s Eve.
Xiao Rongyan: It’s so hard for me… I’ve never seen a male lead with less screen time than me.
Lu Yuanpeng: It was so difficult for me. I ran to Southern Xinjiang… Sister Bai went to Northern Xinjiang, and that brat Fan Yugan met my Sister Bai first.
Xiao Rongyan: Yuan Peng…
Lu Yuanpeng: Instead, that brat Fan Yugan met my sister-in-law first!
Bald author: Please give me a monthly ticket…
Xiao Rongyan: …
Lü Yuanpeng: …
