Chapter 548 The Bai Family Enters Beijing
Xiaoman soon got the news of what happened in the palace, and couldn't help squinting his eyes, looking at the person who brought back the news: "You mean that the queen was in the early court, after the Qing dynasty."
"And then all the ministers objected, forcing the emperor to continue to implement the rules of flipping cards. This is really an extreme approach. It seems that the medicine is too harsh."
"The emperor directly forced the queen to be like this. If the emperor finds out what he wants in the future, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to get back the queen's affection."
Hearing this, Gu Xiangning felt a little funny, he couldn't say that now the emperor misunderstood the identity of the noble concubine, and being so kind to the noble concubine was just a thought in his heart.
But Gu Xiangning didn't say this. In fact, Gu Xiangning really wanted to see the emperor be troubled by love, especially because of other women.
Looking at Xiaoman: "Don't you want to know what the emperor left me alone for?"
Xiaoman gave Gu Xiangning a blank look: "Won't I tell you if I don't ask you? You will definitely tell me yourself. Tell me, what did the emperor ask you for?"
Gu Xiangning coughed twice: "Actually, the emperor has come to his senses now. For women, it's not that important. The emperor said that the noble concubine should not die."
"It's because he wants to keep the imperial concubine, and find out from the imperial concubine who is behind the imperial concubine, they may be very important people. It has only just been reunified."
"People with ulterior motives must have hidden themselves, and they will be exposed slowly later."
Xiaoman nodded: "Well, he is still awake. Now that we know, we can rest assured. By the way, what have we found about the house?"
Gu Xiangning raised his eyebrows: "Except for Fu An, there is no other movement for the time being, and we are already conducting a close investigation of Fu An."
"Don't worry, whoever wants to hurt your family is my enemy!"
Xiao Man smiled: "Okay, you can talk, by the way, I'm going to the Qi Mansion tomorrow to attend Miss Qi's Ji Ji ceremony, speaking of which, do you know the ladies of each family?"
Hearing this, Gu Xiangning felt a little helpless: "I'm a big man, and I'm still a big man with a fiancee, how could I get to know women from other families."
"But speaking of it, when you go to Qi's house tomorrow, you must wake up everywhere. You don't know that there is no one in Kyoto who is the same age as you who is not jealous of you."
Of course Xiaoman also knew this, nodded: "Ann, I will definitely pay attention to such an important matter."
When the two said this, a white dove stopped in front of them, Xiao Man glanced at it, and the white dove was in Xiao Man's hands, it was Qian Jiujiu's messenger pigeon.
After taking down the note, Xiaoman opened it directly, and Gu Xiangning also walked over, and the two looked at the note together: "The other courtyard has burned down, and it is under construction at the same place."
"In addition, we must find out the person who burned the other courtyard. As for me and your brother-in-law, we are fine now and have gone to another place to play, don't worry."
After reading it, Xiaoman rolled his eyes: "Really, is it such a simple thing to build another courtyard? It's easy, and it needs to be built on the spot."
"Now the fire is not over yet, and it will be in ruins after it is over. How can we rebuild on top of the ruins?"
Even though he complained so much, Xiaoman knew why the other courtyard had to be rebuilt in situ, because that location was the safest.
Especially those institutions that were designed below at the beginning, this time it was so easy to burn the other courtyard, and it was because of carelessness that no one thought of it.
Someone would dare to make plans on the other courtyard of the princess, let alone set fire to the other courtyard. Most importantly, those who would activate the mechanism were not there.
Xiaoman put away the note, threw it into the space, and looked at Gu Xiangning: "It seems that I will be very busy for a while, and I will leave the investigation to you."
Gu Xiangning was very speechless. His Xiangfu is still under construction, and another mission came. Thinking of this, he can't wait to kill the group of thieves who set fire to the other courtyard.
Looking at Xiaoman, Xiaoman was already replying to Qian Jiujiu, Gu Xiangning had no choice but to feed the pigeons to drink and eat, and then wrote back to Qian Jiujiu.
After replying to the letter, it was almost noon. The housekeeper came to ask the two of them to have lunch. Chen Da had already woken up and was slowly recovering.
Aunt Xiang also woke up, but this time the injury was too serious, and she couldn't get out of bed now. Of course, there were other people waiting on her, and everyone was together during lunch.
It's just that Xiaoman looked around and found that there was one person missing: "Where did Bai Jing go?"
She knows that Bai Jing is now a big celebrity in Kyoto, she can control animals, everyone wants to win her over, even though she knows that she is Xiaoman's person.
However, these people firmly believe that there is no corner that cannot be consumed, so they post posts to Bai Jing one by one to invite her, but Bai Jing has never agreed.
Today, she suddenly disappeared, which made Xiaoman a little confused, so she asked this question. The housekeeper knew where Bai Jing was, so he stood up and answered.
"Go back to the county lord, today is the day when the Bai family arrives in the capital, Miss Bai went to greet her."
It was only then that Xiao Man remembered that Bai Jing was here to play the front station, and then the Bai family would send some young people over one after another, and even the Bai family would move to the capital in the end.
Nodded: "I see, by the way, the residence of the Bai family in Kyoto has been arranged?"
The butler shook his head: "Miss Bai didn't ask for it, the old slave asked, and Miss Bai said no need."
Xiao Man snorted: "Okay, I see. If there is any request, Bai Jing will make it herself."
So after the group had lunch, they saw Bai Jing bringing a few Bai family members in. They were not outsiders, but Bai Zhen's sisters and brothers.
After Bai Jing came back, she immediately went to find Xiaoman: "Master, I brought someone here to beg for shelter."
After arriving in the capital, Bai Jing finally knew how much power Xiaoman had in the capital, and the Bai family was like a lump of luminous gold, everyone wanted to get it.
It would be best if the emperor accepted it directly, but the emperor has not reacted at all until now, so it is best to find Xiaoman as their backer.
Xiao Man looked at the people who came in, and couldn't help but smile; "So it was Bai Zhen Bai Jia who came, Bai You, Bai Zuo, and Bai Shang also came together, how many of you are here this time?"
One branch of the second uncle was wiped out when he was in Huadu, and now the remaining direct descendants of the Bai family only belong to Dafang and Bai Jing. Speaking of which, Bai Jing should be renamed Lu Jing.
But seeing that Luka didn't mean that, and everyone didn't mention it, Bai Jing replied: "Aside from them, there are also a few uncles who came together."
"It's just that the uncles said they were embarrassed and came to ask for help directly, and planned to stay in a hotel outside."
Xiao Man smiled; "There are quite a few people here this time. If this is the case, you are not suitable for the Palace. There is a small courtyard next to the Palace."
"It's also the property of the palace. You can go to the housekeeper to clean it up. The Bai family will stay here temporarily. By the way, Ang Baizhen and Bai Jia clean it up. We'll go shopping later."
"Then let's go to Miss Qi's ceremony banquet tomorrow."
Bai Zhen and Bai Jia glanced at each other, and quickly thanked Xiao Man: "Thank you, County Lord."
Xiaoman smiled: "You don't have to be so polite, you guys, the princess really likes you. Okay, let's go down and rest for an hour, and we will set off later."
Several members of the Bai family left with a smile, and Bai Jing went directly to the housekeeper to clean up the place. The housekeeper is very depressed, you want the county lord to prepare a residence for you, please tell me earlier.
I'm only saying it now, how rude, but the housekeeper hurried to find someone to arrange it, and went to clean it up. Fortunately, the yard has been cleaned all the time.
And when the Bai family entered Beijing, Xiaoman also sent someone into the palace to inform the emperor to see what the emperor had planned, and the emperor actually made a request.
Let Xiaoman choose a person with good abilities from the Bai family to enter the palace and serve as a guard by his side. It seems that there is something to do, and other things can be arranged by Xiaoman.
After all the members of the Bai family settled their residences, they came together to greet Xiaoman, and a roomful of people knelt down below: "I met the county lord."
Xiao Man hummed, and looked at the people of the Bai family: "Get up, you don't need to be so polite. Speaking of which, Bai Jing, you are the younger generation of the Bai family except you."
"Who is the best at controlling beasts?"
Bai Jing froze for a moment, the county lord would definitely not say this for no reason, there must be some arrangements, but she didn't have any tricks with Xiaoman.
Looking at Xiaoman: "If you go back to the county master, besides me, you will be Bai Shang."
Bai Shang also stood up at this time, looking at the county lord: "Bai Shang has met the county lord."
Xiao Man hummed, and looked at the Bai family: "Bai Jing and Bai Shang stay here for a while, the others go out first, Bai Zhen, Bai Jia can go get ready and go to the street later."
Everyone else left, and only Bai Jing and Bai Shang were left in the room. Xiaoman smiled before saying, "Bai Jing, you can make the decision when the Bai family comes this time, right?"
Bai Jing bit her lip, but she didn't hide it: "Yes, the county head, don't dare to lie to the county head, Bai Jing is the next generation head of the Bai family."
Xiaoman was stunned when he heard the news. The next Patriarch is actually a woman? But then it’s not surprising anymore, each family’s way of inheritance is different, and it’s normal.
"This is the best way. Since you can be the master, then the county lord can also guess that you followed the county lord to the capital, and it was nothing more than a front stop."
"Your Bai family is going to enter the power center of Kyoto, but you don't have the ability to stand firm yet, so you have taken a fancy to the springboard of the county lord."
Bai Jing's face changed, thinking that Xiao Man was dissatisfied, after all, no one likes to be a springboard; "The county lord forgive me..."
