Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 7 7. Second brother

After heading north along the Jinshui River, about half an hour later, the Bai family's carriage finally entered Xuantai Square in the North City.

This area is home to all the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government, especially officials of the third rank and above who basically have their residences in this square.

It can be said that all the neighbors are rich and powerful.

Bai Xiang's mansion is located on the busiest Chang'an Street in Xuantaifang.

In front of the door squat two large stone lions, the carvings are lifelike and full of majesty.

Several young men on lookout saw the Bai family's carriage and horses entering the city and trotted back to report the news. So when Bai Sanlang and his party arrived at the door of the house, they saw two stewards and several women standing at the door.

Bai Sihan was very curious, but she suppressed the excitement in her heart and quietly opened the curtain to take a closer look. She saw a mature and solemn steward coming forward and saluting his father in the carriage in front.

"Third Master has been working hard all the way. The old lady and uncle at home, Fourth Master and his wife are all waiting in the hall. They said they are waiting for you to come back for the reunion dinner."

Bai Chaoke answered in a low voice through the curtain, "Mother Lao is waiting. After I and my family have freshened up, we will go see her immediately."

"Yes, Third Master, please."

At this point, Bai Chaoke got off the carriage.

He has a rare and steady face in his early thirties, and his appearance is ordinary. He is not as resolute as the uncle, nor as handsome as the fourth master.

After serving as an official for many years, I have developed the habit of keeping my lips pursed and not saying much. This indifferent look seems a bit majestic, making it hard for people to feel close to him.

Mrs. Shen took a deep breath and began to arrange her clothes and hairpins from side to side. After making sure, she looked at Bai Sihan up and down, and whispered in her mouth.

"The servants in the Bai family are all from your eldest aunt, so you can't let them look down on you, you know?"

"Don't worry, mother, my daughter understands."

After nodding solemnly towards his daughter Bai Sihan, he took her out of the carriage.

The cold wind in Dongdu made the mother and daughter shiver a little, but when Mrs. Shen raised her head and looked at the word "White Mansion", she was filled with excitement.

Finally, it’s back!

This time, I won’t leave in despair!

On the contrary, Bai Sihan was a little puzzled. She deliberately didn't wear a hat or curtain, just to make the servants of the Bai family stunned when they saw her. Who would have thought that no one would react.

Are the family rules so strict?

Just as I was feeling depressed, I saw two women who had tidied up behind the stewards coming up to me and bowing respectfully.

"Third Madam, Second Miss, please."

With this shout, both Shen and her daughter were very pleased with themselves and followed them through the door proudly.

At the gate of Feng Mansion, unlike the stern treatment of the servants of Bai Mansion, the guard boy on duty was dozing off when he heard the sound of galloping horse hooves, waking him up from his shallow dream.

.

"Second Master is back!"

The boy's face was full of excitement. He immediately ran a few steps and came out of the corner door to wait.

I saw a young man riding a horse from a distance. When he was approaching the door of the house, he immediately reined in his horse and stopped suddenly.

At this moment, Feng Jinlin pulled the reins, and the horse's head was raised high and he neighed. He raised his forepaws high and then landed heavily on the ground. The guard was so startled that he took a few steps back.

"Why are you always scared by Zhuiyun?"

The boy showed an ugly smile and answered helplessly.

"Second Young Master's Zhuiyun is so tall, isn't the young one afraid of being kicked by it?" Having said that, the man took the initiative to hold the horse's rope.

The thousand-mile horse under his crotch is named Zhuiyun. It is black and bright, except for the white hair on the four hooves. The horseshoes are made of pure gold, and the upper door is engraved with auspicious cloud patterns. From a distance, it is not just feet.

The appearance of stepping on auspicious clouds.

Feng Jinlin raised her eyebrows and laughed loudly.

"I've taken good care of you, Zhuiyun. I'm going to ride him to hunt foxes in a few days."

"yes."

He threw the riding whip at the young man, and at the same time a small ingot of broken silver was thrown. The young man's mouth was so happy that he walked towards the house with his head held high.

In Ning'an Courtyard, food is being served at the moment.

As soon as Feng Jinyao put down the book in her hand, she heard a man's hearty and generous voice coming from outside. She felt happy, immediately got down, put on her shoes, and walked outside.

"Where's Ayao?"

"Second Young Master! The lady is in the house. Dinner has just been served. Second Young Master, would you like to eat together?"

After Xiangqiu saw the visitor, she was a little more surprised and immediately came forward to say hello.

"Let's put it on the table. Let the cook cook some more dishes. We went hunting in Mingchi Mountain for a few days. We ate and slept in the open and made the young man starved."

"Yes, I will give you the instructions right now."

Hydrangea saluted with a smile and ran towards the small kitchen at the back.

The girls in the yard all blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to take a peek.

I could see his long black hair flying in the wind, his brows full of heroic youth, and his face that had just faded away from its immature look had a bit of mature sassiness, he was free and elegant, and he was very noble.

The Bai and Feng families were naturally beautiful, especially Mrs. Feng, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Capital at that time, and Feng Jinlin was the child who most resembled her, with the same natural charm.

The fox fur cloak made him even more handsome, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

After lifting the curtain and coming out, Feng Jinyao's eyes suddenly heated up when she saw her second brother walking over in high spirits.

I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered the depressed and defeated look of him in his previous life.

So good! So good!

At this moment, he was still the young man wearing bright clothes and angry horses, with such a fresh and pure smile still rippling on his face.

As soon as Feng Jinlin walked in, he saw his sister's tearful eyes and thin clothes, so she immediately said anxiously.

"What are you doing out here on such a cold day?"

Feng Jinyao didn't answer him, but just threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly with both arms. Just like the time when she was scared by a wolf and cried when she was a child, when Feng Jinlin found her, she could also hug him.

So tight.

"Well, in a few days, go and pick up your husband. Don't pester your second brother all day long. He's just like a little girl who hasn't grown up yet. She's still crying. Be careful. I'll tell my eldest brother to go and let him too.

The joke is on you."

Before Feng Jinlin finished his joke, he felt a pain in his waist.

"Hey, why are you still pinching people? You used to pinch people a lot when you were a kid, but I don't have a good piece of meat on my body!"

Feng Jinlin turned her grief into nothing with just a few words.

"Where have you been? Tomorrow is my grandma's birthday, and I'm just coming back now. Be careful if father finds out and gives you something good to eat!"

"Su Cheng got news that there are a few firefoxes on Mingchi Mountain. I thought winter was coming, so I went to hunt a few to make cloaks for you and mother."

While they were talking, the two of them entered the door. The dishes on the table made Feng Jinlin drool with greed.

While eating, he was talking to Feng Jinyao about the interesting things he had been hunting in the past few days, but Feng Jinyao on the side frowned slightly when he looked at him.
