Chapter 5 Worship

I accompanied the eleventh prince to the Bai family to worship. Luo Liqiong was not easy to come forward. After getting off the carriage on the way and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he still wanted to run errands for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! I really want to go with him to worship...

"Where is the prime minister?" Luo Liqiong asked the servant who came up to him.

"Returning to the second young master, the prime minister is playing chess with the eldest young master in the backyard."

Luo Liqiong walked towards the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Most people were not allowed to enter the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there were not many servants. There were also a few elderly people. When they saw Luo Liqiong, they just asked their worries and stopped him.

It was already a little dark, and the room was already holding lights. Luo Liqiong entered the study room and saw his father and elder brother playing chess.

"Grandpa, brother!" Luo Liqiong shouted and walked to the side of the chess and stood.

Luo Liqiong picked up his elder brother's teacup and drank it. Luo Lixun, who was playing chess, frowned slightly, but Luo Liqiong

He looked happy. His elder brother had a vicious habit. It was his greatest pleasure to tease this elder brother who had never changed his face.

"I'm back, what's wrong with the prince?" The prime minister Luo Yangge held the chess with one hand and placed the other on his knee, staring at the chessboard with his eyes.

"Grandpa, how do you know that the prince is wrong?" The one who called him out was King Rong, no wonder everyone said that he was an old fox.

Luoyangge glanced at his grandson, shook his head, looked at the eldest grandson opposite him and said, "Listen to your elder brother." After that, he continued to play chess.

"In recent years, the treasury has been in and out, not abundant, and the Ministry of Revenue has been held in the hands of His Majesty. The prince should be for the money of the Ministry of Revenue. The border is uneasy and needs food and grass. The Mansion is in trouble at this time. At this time, the two complaints of money will be reported together. Both sides need silver, and both sides are important matters that cannot be delayed. But now, there is only so much money. If you divide it equally, you can't handle any matter on either side. If you have to take care of one end, it will be difficult to explain the other end." A gentle and stable analysis was made, and the support of your sleeves was put on.

The eldest son of the Luo family is full of glory and unparalleled in the world. He became famous and talented in the young man. Over the years, the woman who was eager to see through this fairy grass has already looked through the walls of the prime minister's mansion.

Mr. Luo nodded with satisfaction. This legitimate grandson is the pillar of his future in the Luo family. It is worth his cultivation. Unfortunately, he is a little cold-hearted.

The old fox, the little fox, Luo Liqiong muttered in his heart and said the words of the prince's escort, "The prince said, please report the letter of military supplies and food supplies one step later. First, report to the original government. If the flood is flooded in the late summer, it may cause illness and disaster. Most of the people who moved in the palace are moved in the country, so they should not cause redispersion. When the decree for disaster relief is issued, report to the needs of the border food supplies. The prince said that he will find a way as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Mr. Luo put down the chess piece and stroked the white beard. He couldn't help but sigh that the crown prince of the country should be like this, knowing how to choose and make a choice, and he is indeed a bit courageous. He is just a matter of first and then play, and it is not difficult for him. "If you go back and say that I will know." If you didn't know the prince's nature, he would never allow the descendants of the Luo family to make friends with the crown prince and prince. The Luo family must not have any connection with joining the clan and private affairs.

"Grandpa! I haven't had dinner yet. Besides, the prince is going to go to Bai Mansion to attend the funeral. I'll go to run errands later."

"Bai Family?" Old Master Luo said in confusion. Even Luo Lixun was a little surprised.

Luo Liqiong remembered something and immediately asked, "Yes, it's the Bai family, the Bai family in Xicheng. The second master of their family has passed away. Is there anyone in our family?" If he didn't go, he wouldn't mind going there.

The second son of the Luo family has always ignored these family etiquette matters. Today's question made the two people playing chess a little strange.

Seeing the two of them like this, Luo Liqiong hurriedly said what happened today, and finally recalled: "It's really unforgettable, and I don't know what it has to do with the Bai family."

"So you want to go and watch the fun?" Laozi Luo saw through his grandson's thoughts at a glance.

"Linlang Yinzhuang?" Ru Zhenru's child said that it would really solve the urgent problem, but the Bai family? Old Master Luo looked at the chessboard and said, "You go and ask the butler, you have sent someone to give the gift. If it is not yet, you will go and have a look tomorrow."

Born in such a powerful family, Luo Liqiong still understands such a thing as avoiding suspicion.

Mr. Luo asked his grandson to continue playing chess again, and Luo Liqiong was still talking about the tea room and Qingjin.

"What is the other party asking for?" Lao Luo made a fuss and continued to think about the next step.

Luo Lixun followed the white boy and looked at the trend of the chess game and said, "If the negotiation is completed, it will definitely be a big business. Your Highness is wise and doesn't seem to suffer a loss. Grandpa, please rest assured."

Mr. Luo sighed lightly. As the prime minister of a country, he had to consider it everywhere. He was responsible for the country and the people. "When King Yu rebelled, the internal damage of the Yuan Dynasty was too great. Your Majesty worked hard in recent years and at least he could rescue it. However, in recent years, natural disasters have occurred frequently and the border has been harassed repeatedly. The terrain of Southern Shu is better, and the farming is getting more and more advanced, and there is no panic when there is food. The people live and work in peace. Northern Hebei has been well-educated for many years. Now our army is strong and horses are strong. Our Dayuan is in the middle, staring at it with both ends, and it is difficult to move forward!"

"Grandpa, you must first put the inside out of the bag. You know the court form in your heart. Although the abscess is small, it cannot be overwhelmed too much. When you wait until you are covered in your body, it will be useless to treat it again." After saying that, the last word was left.

After losing one son, Mr. Luo was a little unhappy. He put down the chess piece and stood up and said, "There is a good doctor who wants to treat it. Let's go and go for dinner."

Luo Liqiong also ended his nagging to himself. Anyway, he said everything he saw, and as for the elder brother and grandpa, he would listen to it.

The three of them left the study together and it was getting dark.

At this time, the prince and King Rong were already waiting at the palace gate.

Bai Zhaoyi took the eleventh prince to go back to her parents' home to worship later, but she didn't want to have too many people or guests during the day, so she would cause trouble at that time. As soon as she arrived at the palace gate, she met Prince Rong. When the two of them saw Zhaoyi's politeness, they followed him all the way to worship.

Bai Zhaoyi was so anxious that he could only send someone to Bai's mansion to report. It was not the crown prince's turn to go in person, and there was also King Rong. Although the crown prince said he didn't need to make a statement, he was the crown prince and the crown prince of the country. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the future emperor and he would have face. But so suddenly and without preparation, Bai Zhaoyi was afraid that his parents would be negligent and would cause trouble instead.

When the Bai family received the news, they were also shocked. This was Rong'en. Now the third master did not dare to make decisions. They only invited the fifth master and the fourth master to discuss together at the old lady's office. The second lady also accepted the letter and came to discuss. Although it was a wife's family, it was the second master's business.

Everyone has arrived. Everyone in the old lady’s Songhe Hall was anxious and finally looked at the old lady. The old lady was a little unsatisfied, but she had seen the wind and waves. She had entered the palace and saw the big man. She waved her hand and said, “Crown Prince, King Rong may have just happened to meet the empress and came over. First, he told the servants not to lose their courtesy and cheer up. Brother, sister, who should be filial and still do their filial piety in the mourning hall. Except for the main house, you all avoid the rest. Now, you are all ready to go to the mansion to welcome the car."

"Let's see what else is incomplete?" After the old lady said, she asked for advice from the people in the room.

After all, the Third Master was an official in the court and was quite calm. After thinking about it, he said, "Mom, you don't have to go there. The first is that he is old and has an imperial decree. The Prince's Palace also issued a notice that we should not be too big. It would be bad to make some noise. Now it is probably about to arrive, so other arrangements will be exempted."

They looked at each other with different expressions, but they couldn't take any attention.

The old lady's face was a little complicated. After a while, she still felt that what the third master said made sense, "Then do it like this, I won't go. Second wife, you will take them to Songhetang later. The third master will treat the prince well. Remember to talk less and listen more. It is not feasible to make mistakes."

"Yes! Son, my wife understands."

The old lady nodded and looked at Mr. Bai and said, "Has the mourning hall been arranged? Brothers and sisters are here, right? You can explain later that the few smaller ones will go back to the house first, and the few larger ones will just kneel down and not collide."

Butler Bai suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "The mourning hall has been arranged. Several young masters and young ladies have asked the nannies to take them to rest. The elder brothers and sisters from other rooms are also there. But Miss Yunmin said she was uncomfortable and went back to the house first, but the eldest lady... I didn't see it." He had already arranged people to look for the yard, but he didn't find anyone, so he had no choice but to explain to the old lady.

"If you feel uncomfortable, just rest, so as not to get out of energy and get angry. What's going on with the big sister?" Why didn't you see it? I felt my forehead jumping.

"That's her biological father. She is not filial to the mourning hall, so where have she gone? The mansion is so big, and she can't find a living girl?" Cai, who had been silent, finally spoke, with a venting smell in her words. If it were someone, she would probably be dissatisfied.

The old lady knew that she had grudges and was a young widow, so she let her vent her feelings and had many complicated thoughts about Qingjin.

When the atmosphere was awkward, the servant came to report that someone was worshiping the mourning hall and brought a lot of things. Why was there anyone here so late?

"Okay, okay, you go and welcome the guests. Let's talk about that girl later. It's better not to go. If you don't understand the rules, it will cause trouble." The old lady waved her hand and said, "There are a few juniors left in the mourning hall, and she was afraid that she would not be able to greet her, so she hurriedly ordered them to go there.

The old lady is also aware of people. She knows the priorities and is too lazy to care about it for a while. In her opinion, she is just raising her outside all year round, and her relationship is a little colder. When she thinks of her son's instructions before her death, she feels that no matter how weak the relationship is, she is still a close relative of her. She should not be like this at this time.

In the mourning hall here, Zhang Manager Zhang brought various kinds of high-quality teas according to Qing Jin's instructions, and brought more than tens of bags to worship. He also brought the mountain spring water with him. As soon as he entered the mansion, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

After sautumn here, he put dozens of bags of tea on the altar where the client placed. Manager Bai and his masters rushed to arrive. Manager Zhang and Manager Bai also met, so he quickly explained his purpose. He saw that the atmosphere was wrong. After seeing the gifts, he said goodbye to the masters and finished the work.

Looking at the tea leaves on the table, General Manager Bai picked a pack of them and asked someone to open them and burn the spring water. He brewed a cup of them respectfully, and gave them to the spirit for offerings. He sighed in his heart! Some people still remember what the Second Master had done.

Several masters sent people out of the mansion and were just waiting at the door to prepare for the welcome.

Not long after Zhang Jiangui left the mansion, Zhaoyi, the prince, Rong, and the eleventh prince arrived at Bai Mansion in a mighty way, and the whole mansion knelt all the way.

The mourning hall had already been arranged, and after the worship ceremony, the prince and Wang Rong signaled that the old lady would not disturb him, and asked the palace servants to send some gifts to show comfort. Bai Zhaoyi and Cai, whose eyes were red, were supported by the female family members of each house, and the eleventh prince was still less than nine years old, so naturally followed Bai Zhaoyi.

The third master led the prince and King Rong to the living room to sit. Everyone couldn't help but look at the current prince secretly. The black satin robe, gold silk robe, embroidered with dragons, wide sleeves, sleeves, kesi, dark clouds, flowers, moon white waist, and ink hair tied up by plain mutton fat jade hairpin. He looked like a crown without anger. The face of Rong Wang was like a crown, a water blue brocade robe, and a pearl of the North Sea were embedded on the white jade crown. He was extremely noble. After all, he was a pride of the Tian family.

"Everyone is not as reserved as everyone. I happened to meet Empress Zhaoyi. The eleventh brother came to worship with me when I was young." The prince sat in the main seat and explained why he came.

The third master hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "My brother is mourning, thanking the great affection of His Royal Highness and King Rong, I am grateful to the people of Bai's mansion."

"Mr. Bai, don't be too polite, get up." The prince did not know much about this seventh-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy before, and he paid attention to the matter of the carriage.

As soon as the third master got up, he saw a woman coming out of the side hall, and his face suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Give tea to Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness Rong."

She was wearing a white dress, with black hair tied back, without any decoration, but she was like a green lotus. Her fingers holding a tea tray were as white as onion roots, her face was like cream, and her figure was light. She was really a graceful beauty who I still missed.

After serving the tea, he stepped aside. The prince Meifeng lightly stepped on the table, but did not touch the teacup. King Rong, who was beside him, picked it up and looked at it, "Good tea!" After saying that, he put down the teacup and didn't drink it. He smiled at the faces of the masters of the Bai family, and thought to himself, no wonder the Bai family has many favors, but he can't get up.

The beauty blushed. After touching Bai Wuye's gaze, she reluctantly left the lobby with lotus steps.

The Third Master looked at the Fifth Master with a stern eyes, and his heart was already desolate and his family was unfortunate.

Everyone else's faces turned pale and blue. The fifth master himself wanted to go out to kill this daughter and the woman hurt him! The moment he saw the woman appear, he knew what was going on.

At this time, Qin Yuexi suddenly picked up the teacup and sniffed it. The woman appeared just as soon as she was happening. She said: "I just smelled the fragrance of tea in the mourning hall. I think the second master was also a good tea person. The mansion was also a top-notch tea. The fourth brother has always had good tea, but he knows what kind of tea it is?"

How could King Rong not know what he meant? He smiled and said, "Although Baiwu Yunding is not a tribute imperial tea, it is a top-notch tea, which is harder to find than imperial tea. Only the tender tip picked on the old tea tree on the Baiwu Peak is called Yunding, which is more tender every three years. The rest can only be called Yunfeng. I have only drunk it once at my second brother's mansion."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness Rong, have you praised it. Where can I enjoy this kind of treasure in my mansion? The fragrant tea in my second brother's mourning hall was delivered by Zhang Guan Guest of Zhiyuan Teahouse. The second brother had a sip of tea before his death. I guess it was because of Zhi's friend. I saw that my second brother passed away..." The Fourth Master heard the beating in his words, changed his usual style and was busy explaining.

Qin Yuexi waved his hand and said, "I just said it casually, don't take it to heart!"

Everyone was hurriedly laughing and echoing. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, said it casually, which scared everyone to the point of being frightened.

"It's getting late, so I won't bother you!" Qin Yuexi stood up, and King Rong also stood up.

Everyone felt a little cold again and sent the prince and King Rong all the way to the carriage.

"By the way, how many children does Mr. Bai have?" I didn't see the lady of the Bai family riding in the Red Nan Wooden Horse Carriage in the Mourning Hall. As I saw today, Linlang Yinzhuang had absolutely nothing to do with the Bai family, and the Bai family would never be able to raise such a daughter. Could it be that she was just a relative?

When the prince asked, everyone was stunned by the question.

The third master came to his senses first and replied: "There are four girls in the second brother's name." The prince's trip was not just casual.

"What are they called?" Qin Yuexi continued to ask without any haste.

The third master was almost sweating. The name of the prince’s daughter’s family was not something a man could ask casually. Even the prince was concerned about the rules, but he had no choice but to be the prince to death, let alone the prince, so he could only reply: "The Bai family took the word Qing in this generation, and the four girls were Jin, Yu, Fei, and Tong."

"Yeah! Everyone should go back." After hearing this, Qin Yuexi got on the car. She was really a lady in the Bai family, so weird.
