The Eldest Daughter is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 106 Grace

"I only hope that the clan will take the silver, so that our widow of the Duke of Zhen's mansion can really be restored... peace!" Bai Qingyan sighed, "It's getting late, let me take the three uncles to resettle! After the funeral at the Duke’s Mansion...my mother personally sent someone to escort the three uncles back to Shuoyang!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinzhi stepped forward impatiently: "Sister! They treat our Duke's mansion like this..."

"My country's government, it is righteous that the people of the world would not betray me, and never betray the people of the world."

Bai Qiyun looked at the people in the Duke's Mansion who wished they could eat them alive, how could they have the courage to live in the Duke's Mansion? !

"No... no need! We have our own place!" Bai Qiyun tightly held his cousin's hand and wanted to leave.

"Uncle Tang, although Dadu City is not far from Shuoyang, it is not close. Uncle Tang has 450,000 taels of silver in his pocket. It is unavoidable to go back like this! Before the funeral of the Duke's Mansion is over, there is really no manpower to escort you The three of you will go back to Shuoyang, just to be on the safe side...it’s better to wait until the funeral is over, and the Duke’s Mansion will send someone to escort the three of you back to Shuoyang.”

"Sister!" Bai Jin's eyes were red with childishness, full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

Before Bai Qiyun could open his mouth, the old man who had just received the money said, "This time, the three of us came here for the funeral of the Duke's mansion and with the Duke's last wish, so naturally we have to wait until after the funeral of the Duke's mansion! Don’t dare to bother the Duke’s mansion about the escort, or I’ll die of shame waiting.”

Having reached this point, Bai Qingyan nodded, and ordered someone to invite Xiao Rongyan to drink tea in the inner hall to express his gratitude.

The three of Bai Qiyun left in desperation under the gaze of the common people.

The people onlookers couldn't help but feel that Bai Qingyan was too weak to the clansmen.

"Although it is said that the people of Ning Tianxia will betray me, and will never betray the people of the world, but the people of the Bai family clan are so degrading to their Duke's mansion, and Miss Bai dares to kill even the king of Xin, how can she be so weak in the face of the clan."

The people who gathered in a group and walked back with lanterns in threes and fives talked a lot.

"Why are you so weak?! Isn't that why people had to bow their heads under the eaves and didn't listen to Mrs. Shizi... After the funeral, the widows of the Bai family in the Duke's Mansion are going back to Shuoyang? What can they do? The general manager of their orphans and widows Can't you force it with the clan?"

Speaking of this, the soft-hearted woman couldn't help wiping her tears: "The government of Zhen Guo is full of loyal families, how could it end up like this! If the Duke of the country knows, he will die with regret!"

"Isn't it true that you can't die with peace in your eyes? Just now...other people burn incense well, but the master of the Bai family in Shuoyang burns incense, and the incense is broken! Twice! The candle is not swaying in the wind, isn't that the Duke of the country?" It's manifested!"

"Oh! It's getting dark, how can you say this! It's creepy!"

"What are you afraid of? The Duke's family died to protect our people. Could it be that the heroic spirits will still harm us after death?! Even after death, they will protect us. What monsters and ghosts can harm us!"

·

The sky has darkened, and the bustling red-light long street in the metropolis used to be shrouded in a hazy mist. You can vaguely see the white lanterns put on by the people and merchants spontaneously, probably to mourn for the country and the people. The dead heroic spirit of the Duke's Mansion.

In the promenade of the Duke's Mansion, the white lanterns on the corners of the eaves swayed with the wind.

After a while, the snow particles fell down like finely ground salt, and lightly hit the white silk and satin surface of the lantern, crackling.

Sitting in the hall, Dong Shi and Bai Qingyan slowly explained to Xiao Rongyan that the Duke's government only borrowed his name.

"For this matter, the government of our country owes Mr. Xiao a favor, and I would like to ask Mr. Xiao and the government of the country to complete this scene, okay?" Dong's voice was slow.

Xiao Rongyan put down the teacup in his hand, and said solemnly: "The words of Mrs. Shizi's words are to displease Xiao. Although Xiao is dull, he also knows... This is what Miss Bai saw through Xiao's trip to the metropolis, and gave it to Xiao. An opportunity to use the government to achieve his goals."

"Scholars, peasants, workers, merchants, and merchants are mostly contemptuous. The Duke's government did not look down on Xiao's background, but instead helped Xiao. Xiao felt deeply, and only hoped that his wife and eldest daughter would give Xiao a chance in the future." , reward one or two."

There are three things that can be valued by people in the world, one is power, the other is fame, and the third is wealth.

Three things can be said to complement each other...

If you have power, you can get rich and famous.

Fame can achieve power and wealth.

Wealth can also achieve fame and power.

Among them, money is the easiest to grasp, followed by power, and a good reputation is the hardest...

Since Xiao Rongyan wants to use the name of the richest businessman to travel to various countries, and wants to win honors from other countries and even the favor of the emperor, he naturally wants to push his reputation to its peak. With a great reputation, no matter which country Xiao Rongyan goes to, he doesn't need to spend any effort to get close to those powerful people, as long as he hand in the name card, he can meet anyone.

Especially this time, Xiao Rongyan's relationship with the Bai family, which has the most glorious reputation of loyalty in the world, is to put a layer of gold on the name of Xiao Rongyan.

Bai Qing said that this is an opportunity to stand on the shoulders of the Bai family and make Xiao Rongyan a good name for him... Hand over to Xiao Rongyan. This will be of great benefit to him in his future dealings with the powerful and aristocratic families of various countries. With Xiao Rongyan's mind, how could he not understand?

Dong Shi looked at the extremely handsome and elegant man sitting under the lamp, his eyes were calm and introverted, and the flickering candlelight between his brows was dyed with a layer of warmth. Although he is a merchant, he has no smell of copper, his body is elegant, his words and deeds are quite dignified and calm, and his voice is warm and peaceful, which makes people feel good.

Mrs. Dong lightly clenched the hand stove, with a slight smile between her brows, looked at Xiao Rongyan and nodded.

Xiao Rongyan is extremely wise and transparent, although his eyes are like a deep spring that makes people unable to see to the end, Dong can feel that Xiao Rongyan is sitting here talking to her, he has nothing to hide, he expresses his heart directly, he really accepts it Thanks to the kindness of the Duke's Mansion.

Dong Shi didn't expect Xiao Rongyan to be rewarded in the future, she just likes to deal with smart people, it doesn't take much effort.

"I am also grateful to Mr. Xiao for taking the initiative to stop the letter king in the south of the city, and to save my widow of the Bai family in front of the coffin today." Dong looked at the snow falling outside the door, "The road is slippery in snowy weather, Mr. Xiao be careful on the way back. Three days later, The Duke's Mansion will definitely return the four hundred and fifty thousand taels. You said, send it to Mr. Xiao..."

After Xiao Rongyan stood up and respectfully saluted Mrs. Dong, she followed Bai Qingyan out of the hall.

"Mr. Xiao, walk slowly..." Bai Qing spoke in a blessed tone.

Under the long corridor of bright lights, the maidservant who held the lamp was leading the way, Xiao Rongyan and Bai Qingyan walked side by side, Chun Tao, a group of maids, and Xiao Rongyan's guards followed not far behind them.

The whole journey was silent, but it was Xiao Rongyan who spoke first: "I would rather the people of the world betray me, and never betray the people of the world. These words... I am afraid that this word has already reached His Majesty's ears at this moment. At the latest, the day after tomorrow, regarding the matter of believing in the king , Your Majesty will make a decision."

Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes and said nothing.

The Duke's Mansion decided to return to Shuoyang's hometown, and showed it to the emperor.
