Chapter 55: Bao Lingyi's memory
When Mrs. Bao saw Dong Xianxian standing there, she stepped forward and took her hand and said, "Xian'er! You saved Heisan'er from our family many times. Now you come to the capital and live in our Bao family. You can live as long as you want. You just need to treat this place as your own home, and never see each other."
As Mrs. Bao said this, Dong Xianxian's face turned red in an instant, and Zhang Yuxi, who was standing beside Bao Zheng, lowered her head at this time, wondering what she was thinking about.
Bao Zheng didn't want to see the scene awkward, so he immediately smiled and said, "Dad, you want to reminisce about the old days with the immortals, so let's wait and talk about it later! There are five guests next to him! I'll introduce it to my parents."
Bao Lingyi had been a little curious about the five girls. At this time, she waved her hand to stop Bao Zheng from speaking and said, "Since he is Heisaner's friend, how can he stand in the yard and talk? You must go to the living room to have a cup of tea and rest before talking."
Before Bao Zheng's introduction, Bao Lingyi had already led the five girls to the living room.
When Bao Zheng sat down in the living room, he began to introduce Bai Yutang's five girls. Bao Lingyi just nodded slightly when he heard Bao Zheng introduce Lu Fang, Han E, Xu Qingqing, and Jiang Ping, and expressed his politeness. When Bao Zheng introduced Bai Yutang, Bao Lingyi was a little shocked when he heard her name. When Bao Zheng introduced his father to Bai Jincheng, he looked shocked.
Bao Zheng looked at Bao Lingyi with an abnormal expression and immediately asked, "Dad! Did you ever recognize Miss Bai's father?"
Bao Lingyi heard Bao Zheng’s question, and then realized that he was a little out of control. He immediately came to his senses and spoke to Bai Yutang, "Miss Bai! I don’t know the name of the Gao surname of Lingtang?"
Bai Yutang saw Bao Lingyi asking this question, although it was a little strange, but she still clasped her fists and replied: "My mother's surname is Li Fanghua! I don't know why my uncle asked this question?"
After hearing Bai Yutang say her mother's name, Bao Lingyi fell into deep thought. Even Bai Yutang's questioning did not seem to hear. Bao Zheng and Bai Yutang did not disturb him at this time. After a while, Bao Lingyi replied: "When I was young, I went to a distant place to take office. I once passed by Shunchang Mansion, but unfortunately I met a strong man. Fortunately, by chance, I met the passage of the Lingtang by Miss Bai. Bai Meilingtang was very skilled in martial arts and saved Bao. Because Bao was injured, Lingtang saved me to the Tuoluo Mountain to recover. In this way, I know your father Bai Jincheng! Lingtang and Lingzun had not yet become husband and wife, but they had already had a marriage contract."
When Bao Lingyi said this, she couldn't help but feel a little confused, as if she was trapped in deep memories and could not extricate herself. When Bao Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but use his full imagination. Could it be that his father had any feelings for Bai Yutang's mother back then? Looking at Bao Lingyi's expression at this moment, Bao Zheng became more and more sure of his thoughts.
Bao Lingyi looked at Bai Yutang at this time and said, "Your parents and I are friends. In the future, your sisters will be their own home in Bao's house, so you don't have to see each other. I have free time and will definitely go to Tuoluo Mountain to see your parents again."
Bai Yutang listened to Bao Lingyi's words, although he had many questions in his heart, he finally held back and did not ask in detail. If Bao Lingyi was willing to talk about these past events, he would naturally say them. If he kept silent, there would obviously be reasons that he could not say them. However, Bai Yutang knew that even if Bao Lingyi didn't say them, he could know them by asking them in the future.
Bai Yutang squeezed out a smile and said, "Since my uncle is my old friend, I will definitely welcome my uncle to visit Tuoluo Mountain in the future. This time I followed Brother Bao to the capital, but because I saw the big thing Brother Bao did in Shunchang Mansion, I came to help Brother Bao be the master of Qingtian."
As soon as Bai Yutang said this, Bao Lingyi couldn't help but look puzzled and immediately asked Bao Zheng: "Heisaner! What's going on? Could it be that you were in Shunchang Mansion and even made a big fuss?"
Bao Zheng immediately stepped forward and told Bao Lingyi in detail what happened in Shunchang. After Bao Lingyi heard this, he nodded in praise and said, "Heisaner, you did a good job. Your father was considered honest in his life, but he did not do anything big. He has always left this regret in his heart. In the future, if you have the opportunity to become an official in the court, you will definitely do something big to make the ancestors of the Bao family glory!"
Bao Zheng originally thought his father would accuse him of being too popular, but he did not expect that he agreed very much and immediately felt much more relieved.
Bao Lingyi continued at this time: "But this time you offended Liu Chenggui, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works, who is a vengeful person. You must be careful in the future! Liu Chenggui is not only very scheming, but also belongs to the Southern Officials faction. There are several extremely powerful figures in the Southern Officials faction, and they are on the same rope as Liu Chenggui. They are the current Tongshu Mens Peace Ding Wei, the Privy Councilor Wang Qinruo, the Minister of Justice Lin Te, and the Minister of War Chen Pengnian. These five people have always been in and out in teams, advancing and retreating together. No one in the court dares to provoke him. Even Lord Kou was dismissed from impeachment. However, Chen Pengnian died of illness two years ago, and there were only four old ghosts left among the five people."
Bao Zheng frowned immediately when he heard Bao Lingyi's words. He knew history well and knew that the five people Bao Lingyi said were the five ghosts in the capital in the Northern Song Dynasty. These five ghosts not only had high status and power, but also confused Zhenzong to believe in Taoism and persecuted loyal ministers. They were all real treacherous ministers. They were probably doing many shameful bad things behind their backs.
Bao Zheng replied respectfully: "I listen to my father's teachings and will definitely be cautious about these traitors in the future. However, just now I entered Beijing today, Yu Xi and I were going to visit my father-in-law's house. Dad will greet these guests on my behalf."
Bao Lingyi pointed to express his acquiescence. Bao Zheng immediately took back with everyone and pulled Zhang Yuxi out of the living room. Xiaoyun was waiting there early outside the door.
Xiaoyun stepped forward and said, "Son-in-law, there is an inner door in our mansion and our mansion. You can follow me!"
Bao Zheng and Zhang Yuxi followed Xiaoyun around several wing rooms. They saw a huge moon gate open on the courtyard wall. The two families combined into one, but it would be much more convenient to move around in the future.
When Bao Zheng entered the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Yao had been waiting in the lobby for a long time. However, there was a petite and cute person sitting in the lobby, which was Zhang Yuxi's sister Zhang Yuqi.
Bao Zheng stepped into the lobby and immediately greeted his father-in-law. He sat openly on the chair and drank tea with his father-in-law while chatting about the things that happened after the separation. At this time, Zhang Yuxi took her sister's little hand and whispered.
Zhang Yao hadn't seen Bao Zheng for a long time, so he naturally had to ask Bao Zheng's recent situation. Bao Zheng had to say it to Zhang Yao again as he said to his father. Zhang Yao was extremely convinced when he heard what Bao Zheng did in Shunchang Mansion.
The two chatted and had already drunk a cup of tea before they knew it. Bao Zheng couldn't help but ask: "My father-in-law has been in Beijing this time. Have you ever known that the emperor summoned us to Beijing, what is the matter?"
