Chapter 726 New Concubine
Da Ye was so happy that she always thought that her Jinghong was dead. Although there had never been any news in the palace, it was a water prison. How could she survive if she was locked in a water prison?
She had always been thinking that the Bai family would not hold Bai Jinghong's funeral, and even more so that her baby daughter would not let her see the body when she died. She had several nightmares for this. Every time she dreamed, she would see Bai Jinghong's water running towards her, her face was blurred and her voice could not speak, so she could only stand in front of her and cry non-stop, crying so hard that she was heartbroken.
But I didn't expect that Jun Changning's arrival today would bring her such shocking news.
She didn't know how she sent Jun Changning out, but she knew that she was really grateful to Jun Changning for bringing this news to her before leaving. She and Bai Xingyan repeatedly promised that they would help Jun Changning no matter what happened in the future. No matter what happened in the future, the Duke Wen Guo's Mansion will always be Jun Changning's backer. I just hope that Jun Changning and Shuangying will have a good relationship and let Shuangying recall as much as possible what she saw that day. As long as there are a little more clues, there will be a little more hope to find Jinghong back.
Jun Changning was very satisfied with the result and happily left with the Bai family’s gift.
Bai Xingyan and Daye were so excited that they were about to cry. After seeing Jun Changning away, they immediately returned to Fuxiyuan. In Lin's eyes, they looked like the groom entering the bridal chamber. But just the current appearance of Daye, did Bai Xingyan have the same?
Lin asked the Hong family as soon as he explained it. Hong family didn't understand it, and only felt vaguely that they seemed to have reached an agreement with Jun Changning, and Jun Changning also gave them enough benefits. But what kind of benefits can make them so excited?
In Fuxi Courtyard, in the bedroom of Daye, all the servants were sneaked out, and even the yard was not allowed to be kept.
The two of them sat warmly on the edge of the couch, constantly communicating the news that Jun Changning brought back. The more they communicated, the more they felt that this was a good omen, and it was a sign that the Bai family was about to revive. After the half-year of Bai Heran's return, the Bai family finally returned to the past, and their shocking eyes were finally about to see the light of day again.
Bai Xingyan said excitedly: Look, you have now returned to the position of the mistress. Today, I got news that Jinghong is still alive and was rescued, and Bai Heran has left Shangdu City. What does these things mean? It means that life should be what kind of life? A Ran has been struggling for more than half a year, but what happened in the end? Isn’t it still a waste of water? When she comes back from Qingzhou Prefecture, she will find that Duke Wen’s mansion is exactly the same as when she came back from Luocheng. Her efforts over the past few months have been wasted.
Da Ye nodded, the master was right, whoever is his life, no matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape the shackles of fate. But, Master, where is our shock? Who rescued her?
Bai Xingyan frowned and thought for a while, and said a possibility: At the palace banquet, only Luo Ye was an outsider, and Luo Ye had a powerful poison doctor. If she had taken action to catch people from the water prison, it would not be impossible. Jinghong could secretly leave the palace, unless he was hiding in Luo Yeren's convoy, he would not encounter too strict investigations.
What the master meant was Jinghong being taken to Luo Ye? Da Ye was a little worried. Luo Ye was high and the road was far away. If the person was really there, how should we take her back? What is the purpose of Luo Ye people saving Jinghong?
Bai Xingyan didn't know why, but he saved people, which was better than waiting for death in the water prison. So he advised Da Ye: One day Jinghong will come back. I think that the king of Luo Ye might have taken a fancy to Jinghong's beauty and rescued the person. As for Jinghong's injuries, since Luo Ye has Huyuan family, it is not difficult to cure Jinghong's injuries. Don't worry, Jinghong is not Su Huawan. Even if she reaches Luo Ye, she will break out of her own world as soon as possible.
Then our plan is still a pity for the Da Ye family. Our ultimate goal is not to marry Jinghong to Luo Yeren!
Take one step at a time! Bai Xingyan comforted her that as long as people live, there is hope, and this is just our guess. What if they were not rescued by Luo Yeren? Anyway, as long as Jinghong is still alive, we must be ready to come back at any time. You'd better send a message to the Guo family and borrow someone to inquire about the news. I believe that the old general Guo should have a deployment in Luo Ye.
Da Ye nodded, I understand, Master, don’t worry, we don’t have the right man now, I will go to the Guo family in person tomorrow and ask my grandfather to help find Jinghong’s whereabouts. After all, as long as Jinghong is still alive, the Guo family will have hope.
Bai Xingyan nodded, his eyes were still excited, as if he had seen Bai Jinghong return in dressing, still in his former appearance.
Master, I will show you something. As Mrs. Da Ye spoke, he handed two portraits to Bai Xingyan. The portraits were all women, each of which was only 28 years old, and they were beautiful and charming.
Bai Xingyan's eyes were straightened, but he still had to pretend to be reserved.
These are the two beauties I asked my third aunt to help find a while ago. Is the master still satisfied?
Is this too small? Bai Xingyan hesitated. He looked like he looked like this, he was less than twenty years old? I am already in my early forties and wouldn’t he be laughed at by a girl under twenty years old entering the door?
How could it be? Ye was shocked, Master, this idea is absolutely unsatisfactory. You are taking a concubine, not marrying a wife. This old saying goes, marrying a wife is a virtuous, and taking a concubine is a beauty. Whose concubines are not delicate, young and beautiful? How old are they like our concubines? I don’t know that helping the elderly find new people, they are still in a state of mind. It is a matter of jealousy that the little girl does, and it is a joke when she tells this matter in our mansion.
Bai Xingyan was very helpful to this and nodded frequently. You said, "Take a concubine to take good care of you." My country's Duke already has a virtuous wife like you, and what you lack now is a beautiful concubine. Ye Rou, you are still thinking carefully.
The master likes it. Da Ye is very happy. Young people have the benefits of being young. They are not well-informed and obedient. They listen to what the master says and let the master train them. Moreover, my aunt said that these two girls have no family background and their parents are gone. Once they enter the mansion, they are completely masters and will not have any involvement with their parents' family. Master, this is the best concubine!
Bai Xingyan also sighed: Yes, this is the best concubine. What kind of family should a concubine have? That is what a wife should have!
When he said this, he completely forgot that if it weren't for his concubine Hong Piaopiao who had a family that was not short of money, they would have starved to death from Duke Wen's mansion. He thought that without his parents' home, and without his parents' fingers, the two women would have completely belonged to him. This would be the real comfort and stability.
When are you planning to arrange for them to enter the mansion? Bai Xingyan asked the Da Ye family, are they in Shangdu?
Da Ye nodded and had already received it from Shangdu City and could enter the mansion at any time. Master, do you still need to hold a ceremony?
Bai Xingyan hesitated, no need to? He just took a concubine, and it didn’t need to be so grand.
However, Da Ye had a different idea: Master, I still advocated doing one. First, our mansion has not added a new person for more than ten years, and the man is nostalgic enough. At this time, it is a common sense to take a concubine, and it is not embarrassing. Second, it is also a reminder for the family that they must know that the Mansion of Wenguo is not static, nor that they can do whatever they want after giving birth to children for the man. We must let them know who is the owner of this Mansion of Wenguo and who can truly determine their destiny.
Bai Xingyan nodded repeatedly, you are right, you want to use this to beat the rules and set the rules again.
Well, Da Ye said again, in addition, you can also take this opportunity to knock out a sum of silver from Hong. It is necessary for the master to spend money on taking concubines, and it is necessary for the newcomer to enter the mansion to buy, which is also necessary. As a man, you must not be too shabby to the newcomer, right? So she has to give you some money to deal with. We want this money openly and honestly, and I, the mistress of the family, will give her, and she must give it to her, otherwise it will be jealous, and it will be a seven-in-one situation and can be divorced.
Bai Xingyan felt that Ye Zhinan was really the mistress, and he had too much idea. This trick blocked the Hong family's road, and it was really wonderful! This is called the mistress. The mistress should have such courage. To be able to find beautiful concubines for men, he had to take care of all the concubines at home for men, so that the men would not have any worries.
Da Ye did these things so perfectly and beautifully, and Bai Xingyan simply applauded her.
The two agreed to visit Guo’s house tomorrow and go to Xiaobai’s house to pick up the old lady the day after tomorrow. The matter of taking a concubine will be carried out together in the next two days, and they will be ready at all times. After the old lady returns to the house, she can arrange a wedding.
After all, it is a concubine, not a marriage, and there is no need to do a big fuss. You only have two sedan chairs and ask someone to carry it into the mansion through the side door.
But the new yard needs to be cleaned, the new house needs to be decorated, and there will be a banquet on the day of the arrival of the mansion, so no outsiders will be invited. All the kinship people are invited, such as the General's Mansion of Xiaobai Mansion and the Guo family. It is enough to invite these people to come and have fun.
Da Ye took all these and told Bai Xingyan not to worry about anything, just wait for the groom to be at ease.
As for the old lady, there is no need to worry. The biological mother cannot stop her son from taking concubines. The son takes concubines to continue the family line. Who doesn’t want to have more children, grandchildren and more blessings? Can you tell your son that you are not allowed to get close to new people and have children?
Bai Xingyan was so happy that he was free and smiling. Looking at Da Ye's appearance, he was not that disgusting.
