Chapter 704 The decree arrives
The prefect of Heyang is in Heyang and is already considered a high-ranking official.
Of course, for a prefect who is used to the kind of capital that can drown several ministers with a mouthful of spit, it is really difficult for a prefect to get interested.
However, since Bai Chen plans to stay in Heyang for a few days, it is also good to walk around.
When staying in Heyang, the main thing is to let Xiao Wu spend more time with Bai Su.
But Xiao Mu is too clingy, and Xiao Mu will follow wherever Bai Chen goes.
Bai Chen could only carry Xiao Mu to attend Qingsong's poetry and drink party, and took the famous post to the prefect. Under the leadership of the servant, Bai Chen came to the back garden.
It can be seen that Qingsong's family background is quite good, and the mansion is decorated in a very stylish manner.
After entering the back garden, Bai Chen saw many young talents, including men and women, gathering together in groups of three or two.
However, Bai Chen, who is holding a child, still seems very abrupt when entering this poetry and wine party.
Bai Chen found a stone table to sit down, served tea and water in the garden, and immediately stepped forward: "Well, please, young master, do you want wine?"
Bai Chen looked at the courtyard and nodded with a smile.
The poetry and wine party held by Qingsong is very similar to a party.
At this moment, Bai Chen saw a familiar figure, his sister Bai Xing.
"Brother." Bai Xing saw Bai Chen in surprise and walked up to him in big strides: "Why are you here?"
"If you can come, can't I come?"
"Wow...spicy..." Xiao Hua sat on the stone table, holding the wine glass without knowing how to die, licking her tongue, her little face suddenly ripe, and she stretched out her little tongue. Tears were already hanging in her eyes.
Bai Chen didn't stop Xiao Wu. This amount of alcohol should be cultivated since childhood. Otherwise, like himself, he would immediately get drunk after a few cups.
As soon as Bai Xing sat next to Bai Chen, several young men came forward.
There is no way, who made Bai Xing’s current identity extraordinary? A princess from Heyang Mansion has appeared, but it is something that everyone in Heyang Mansion knows.
Now wherever White Star goes, it looks like stars surround the moon.
Many young talents even take it as their responsibility to pursue Bai Xing as their life.
"Xing'er. The poetry meeting over there is about to begin. What are you doing here?" One of the young men showed a very graceful look, but when he looked at Bai Chen, he had already shown obvious hostility.
"Shaohan, Master Lu... am I very familiar with you? Xing'er was also what you called him?" Bai Xing's face immediately showed a hint of displeasure.
Lu Shaohan showed a slight embarrassment on his face, but he quickly felt relieved and smiled: "You and I have known each other since I was a child, and I am a childhood sweetheart. Is it too unfamiliar to call you Miss Bai?
"What do I do if I call you? Anyway, this Xing'er is not something you can call me." Bai Xing hummed with a cold face.
Bai Chen was unwilling to participate in their affairs. He just looked at the two of them with a smile, but this young master Lu obviously didn't think so.
Lu Shaohan's face darkened and he looked at Bai Chen: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"What's your business?" Bai Xing immediately slapped the table.
"My father has recently received news that a group of thieves sneaked into Heyang City to make a mistake. I naturally have the right to investigate strangers."
It seems that after Master Lu is also an official, a group of followers around him began to echo: "I think it looks like it, most of them are dressed as a thief."
"It seems that he is a bad plan, but the princess is still careful. This person is probably approaching you on purpose."
"Fuck, this is my brother!" Bai Xing was furious: "Who dares to talk nonsense anymore? Be careful I will tear your mouth!"
"Brother? You can't come to pretend to be relatives again, right?" Lu Shaohan glanced at Bai Chen and said sarcastically: "I remember that the Bai family sent many fake relatives to the yamen some time ago. This person's origin is unknown. I think Xing'er, you should send him to the yamen first and investigate it clearly before telling you so as not to be deceived."
Bai Xing's face turned red with anger. A while ago, many people came to the Bai family to pretend to be relatives, and the Bai family even made a joke about it, treating a liar as a relative.
Finally, it was found that the liar had nothing to do with the Bai family at all, and it was even a local liar in Heyang Prefecture.
Just as you were talking to me, Qingsong was standing in the corner, and there was a tall and handsome woman standing beside Qingsong, but the woman's face was a little pale.
If Bai Chen could find this woman at this time, he would definitely find that this woman was Qingyi, who was not late in Cangzhou City.
"Brother, just go and help the young master to help him. As long as he remembers your affection, our Qing family will have hope in the future." The woman's tone was very gentle, as if she was not in high energy, and after saying a few words, she began to breathe.
"Qingyi, who is the descendant of the Yuan Dynasty in the imperial court?" Qingsong looked at his sister in confusion.
Qingyi shook her head and smiled and said, "You don't need to know his identity, at least you don't need to know now. You just need to do what I said."
Qingsong was also speechless about her sister.
Qingsong's memory of his sister only stayed at the time when he was still five years old. At that time, his father was still a small county magistrate, but he was assassinated by a killer for offending the local gentry and tycoon. His sister disappeared at that time.
However, just half a year ago, Qingsong's sister, who was almost forgotten, appeared in front of him and his father again.
Of course, they have also experienced many verifications of their identity as a sister.
Although I don’t know what my sister has experienced over the years, there is no doubt that the girl who suddenly appeared is indeed related to him.
However, even when my sister went home, she was locked in the room alone, and she never left the house all day long. Even if she left the door, she never stepped out of the backyard.
Even servants are not allowed to enter. Of course, whether it is Qingsong or his father, he also cares for this long-lost sister.
Qingsong looked at Qingyi and nodded, walked forward: "Lu Shaohan, do you have any opinions on the guests I invited?"
Lu Shaohan was stunned and looked at Qingsong in surprise: "Qingsong. What do you mean?"
In theory, my father is the city guard, and Qingsong's father is the prefect. The two families get along well, and their juniors also help each other. Why did Qingsong actually sing a opposite tune with him today?
"It's not interesting. Mr. Bai is the VIP guest I invited. If Mr. Lu has any opinions on him, just ask me, so don't break up here. This is my home. This time I held a poetry and drink party, not to be jealous here."
"Okay, I'll give you face!" Lu Shaohan's face turned pale: "But after leaving Qing Mansion, you can't control it anymore!"
"In my mansion, I will naturally be responsible to the end. It is not the final decision of the Lu family when they leave the mansion. The eldest young master of the Bai family is not the one who says he will kill him."
Qingsong deliberately moved out of the Bai family to make Lu Shaohan afraid.
If it were before, Lu Shaohan would naturally retreat, but Qingsong demolished him in public, and he was angry at the moment. How could he swallow this?
"So what about the Bai family? My father is a court official! I am also an official, I will arrest anyone I want to arrest, and whoever I can control!"
"Lu Shaohan, are you talking about the Bai family being bullied by you?"
"Princess Heyang is joking. How dare I bully your Bai family? I just have the responsibility to suspect that this person is a thief in the Yangtze River. What's wrong with it?" Lu Shaohan sneered, and even the name of Bai Xing became Princess Heyang.
Although the Bai family is noble, it has no real power. Unless the Bai family sues the capital, in Heyang, one acre of three-point land must be subject to the control of their Lu family.
Of course, Lu Shaohan was also confident that the Bai family would not fight the Lu family to the death for a wild boy.
At the same time, he believed even more that this kid was just an insignificant outsider.
...
In another direction in Heyang, there is a different scene.
A well-equipped army is heading towards the Bai family, but it is different from ordinary army.
The soldiers in this team had golden and silver armors, and the ceremonial guards were raised high, and three gorgeous prides in the middle stopped at the gate of the Bai family.
There were about 10,000 people in front and back. At this time, three figures with different identities came down from the three large sedan chairs.
The first one is golden robe and jade crown, with silver dragon plate silk tied with waistband, and is extremely honorable. It is the eldest prince Li Lansheng.
The second one is purple robe and silver crown and green beard flowing, which is Wei Rufeng, the prime minister of the dynasty.
The third one was wearing a gray robe, with a whisk in his hands, and a cold face. He was Wang Chang, the general manager of the inner corps.
"The imperial edict has arrived..."
A sharp voice broke the calm voice of the Bai family.
For a moment, the entire Bai family was in chaos.
Then there were Bai Tianhao, Bai Wujie, and a group of Bai families, all gathered in front of the lobby.
Li Lansheng held the imperial edict in his hand, and Wei Rufeng and Wang Chang followed him and looked at the Bai family.
Just as Li Lansheng was about to read the imperial edict, Lao Wang suddenly stopped Li Lansheng's voice: "Slow..."
"Eunuch Wang, what's the problem?"
"Bai Chen is not here, who will you pronounce the decree to?"
Lao Wang glanced at the Bai family, immediately stepped forward two steps and walked to Bai Su: "This lady is Bai Su, Bai Chen's biological mother, and Shi Tou's grandmother?"
"It's my family." Facing the imperial court, Bai Su's heart was trembling and he responded in a low voice.
"It just so happens that our family has a copy of your imperial edict..."
"The civilian woman Bai Su received the order..."
Bai Su was about to kneel down, but Lao Wang hurriedly supported Bai Su: "Madam, don't have to kneel down. Your Majesty has something to say first, so you can avoid any etiquette."
"The civilian woman dare not..."
"No need not dare, my wife gave birth to a good son for the Han and Tang dynasties, and she should have received such treatment." Lao Wang smiled with a sneer: "Madam, please accept the order."
Bai Su lowered his head and stretched out his hands. Lao Wang read out the imperial edict: "Your Majesty has an order. I heard that the Bai family, a woman from Heyang, has a pure nature, abides by the wife's morality, is loyal to the emperor and patriotism. He specially granted the first-class imperial lady of Bai's family, and was given 3,000 mu of fertile land, 10,000 taels of gold and silver, a jade plaque and a gold boudoir, and a three thousand stone of honor. I admire this."
Bai Su never dreamed that one day he would be able to get the title of a wife of imperial decree.
So much so that after Lao Wang read the imperial edict, he forgot to thank him.
"Madam, it's time to thank you." Lao Wang reminded in a low voice.
Bai Su hurriedly thanked him and took the imperial edict, but he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Madam, where is Bai Chen now?"
"Bai Chen went to attend the poetry and drink party of the son of the Heyang Prefect's family... I will go here..."
"It's not a matter of worrying about the wife. Your Highness, Wei Xiang and Lao Nu are ordered by the emperor to go to meet Bai Chen in person, otherwise... Otherwise, the boy would escape again when he heard the wind." Lao Wang was a little embarrassed.
"Madam, where is the residence of the Heyang Prefect?"
"It's right..." Bai Su pointed out the direction, and the team came and went in a hurry, and immediately set off for the prefect's house.
But the Bai family seemed to be in a dream. In order to read an imperial edict, the prince and the prime minister actually sent two honorable and noble figures.
At this moment, Bai Tianhao suddenly woke up: "Hurry... hold a banquet and post to invite people from all walks of life in Heyang..." (To be continued...)
