Qin Gong

Chapter 23 Bai Shi! ! !

After bidding farewell to the strange old man, Shui Yan never met any strange people again.

Shui Yan didn't pay much attention to that strange old man called 'Old Man on the Old Man', after all, he just happened to pass by, and he only met the old man once.

Aside from the fact that the old man insisted on accepting him as a disciple, there was no other relationship between the two of them.

And after crossing the turbid river.

After Shui Yan left Qi State on horseback, he did not choose to go to Zhao State, but entered Han from Wei, and then entered Qin from South Korea.

There was friction between Qin and Zhao from time to time.It is undoubtedly safer to travel from Wei and Han to Qin.This is also the route that merchants between Qin and Qi will choose at the moment.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it takes longer.

Even if Shuiyan had a horse, it took nearly two months to cross the border of Qin State.

When Shui Yan arrived in Pingyang, his whole appearance changed!Not to mention the messy hair, the clothes are full of dust, and there are several holes.

Of the two parcels when they left Qi, now there is only one left, and it weighs almost nothing.

Shui Yan looked at Pingyang City in front of him.

If it wasn't for a horse, he wouldn't know what year and month he would have come here.

No wonder the ancients did not like to travel.

This is no travel, this is clearly killing people!

Although in Qi, Wei, and Han, there are post stations called Jun and Zhi, but in Qin State, there are also post stations called "post" and "post".

But the former requires money.The latter is not fed at all.

With no money, he could only sleep on the side of the road along the way, and when it rained, he would rub against the eaves of other people's houses for a night.

"I hope I don't make a trip in vain!"

After muttering a word, Shui Yan stepped towards Pingyang City Gate.

Pingyang City.A small city belonging to the hinterland of Qin State, between Yongcheng and Xianyang.

Xianyang is the capital of the Qin State, and also the most prosperous place in the Qin State. There are countless rich, powerful, and clans.

And Yongcheng is where King Qin's ancestral temple is located, and Empress Dowager Huayang, who supported King Qin Zhuangxiang to succeed to the throne, lives in Qinian Palace in Yongcheng.

Therefore, Pingyang City between the two is particularly inconspicuous, and there are even few nobles and dignitaries.

The reason why Pingyang is famous is because there is a Bai family in Pingyang city.

Shui Yan walked the streets of Pingyang City, leading the horse that had followed him through hardships.

Fortunately, Pingyang City is not too big, so after some inquiries, they soon came to the gate of Bai's mansion.

Looking at the mansion in front of him, he thought of the fact that the Zou family had already fallen, plus he looked shabby.

While smiling wryly, Shui Yan couldn't help but have an idea.

He won't be kicked out!

But since they all came to Pingyang Baishi, it is naturally impossible to return at this time.

"stop!"

Seeing Shui Yan approaching, the two servants who had been guarding the gate of the mansion stepped forward, their eyes kept sizing up Shui Yan.

If it weren't for seeing the young man, although he looked shabby, he was leading a horse.

The two gatekeepers probably didn't even bother to ask, and drove Shui Yan away.

It was also the horse that made them step forward to stop it in doubt, and did not dare to drive people away directly.

And under the watchful eyes of the two servants, Shui Yan took out Zou Xing's jade pendant from his bosom.

After a while.

Bai's mansion.

"What? This!"

A slightly overweight middle-aged man looked at the jade pendant in his hand and widened his eyes.Then he looked at the jade pendant carefully.

But after looking up and down, the middle-aged man has confirmed that this jade pendant is indeed his.

The middle-aged man is Bai Yan.

Looking at Yupei at this moment, not to mention Bai Yan, even the woman with a graceful figure beside her was very surprised.

"What should I do? I'm afraid my father will reprimand me again!"

Bai Yan covered his forehead with a dizzy face.

Fifteen years ago, he was rescued from the cell by Master Zou of Qi State.With the rest of his life after the catastrophe and the beauty in his arms, he proposed marriage on a whim.

After that, he didn't take this matter to heart.

After all, it's just a marriage.

Moreover, Mrs. Zou had the grace to save his life.

However, the current situation is slightly different from what he imagined.

His father, Bai Zhong, had already planned to let the Bai family marry the Meng family and the Longxi Li family.

This made him either lose his promise, or be scolded by his father.

How good is this!

"Now that the matter has come to an end, invite the person into the mansion first, and you immediately tell your father about it, and I will inform Junzhu and Yingxue. We will meet first and then make a decision."

The woman looked at her man and said softly.

"It was a favor owed by you and me in the past. If we don't even see each other now, I'm afraid it will spread. You and I may not be afraid, but the reputation of the Bai family may be ruined."

After the woman finished speaking, she ordered her servants to invite them to the mansion.

"It can only be so."

Bai Yan sighed.

After a while.

Bai Yan was not surprised, Bai Zhong, who was over half a century old and had an old complexion, was so angry that he could hardly speak when he heard Bai Yan's words.

"you you you!!!"

Right now Bai Zhong is so angry that he can't finish his words.

Although Bai Yan is middle-aged and wealthy, but in front of his father Bai Zhong, he still bows his head and dare not make a sound.Send face to let scold.

On the other side of the courtyard of the White Mansion, the two girls also looked at their mother in surprise.

"What, father once arranged a marriage for the elder sister? Now that person is outside the house?"

The younger girl looked at her mother with beautiful eyes in shock, and her small mouth was full of astonishment.

Then the girl turned her head to look at her eldest sister, her eyes full of worry.

However, the young girl, not to mention that the elder sister is not only attractive, but also in terms of talent and learning, compared with those noble women in Yongcheng and Xianyang.

There are countless gentry men who pursue the elder sister.

Even the grandfather once vaguely mentioned that he wanted the eldest sister to marry Meng Shi and Li Shi.

Why is there a 'fiancé' from Qi country suddenly appearing now.

"We'll talk about this matter in the future. Jun Zhu, you go with your mother to meet that person first. After all, it's about your father, and it will affect Bai's reputation even more."

The woman ignored the younger daughter, but looked at the eldest daughter whose pretty face didn't show even though her eyes were disturbed.

"Ah."

The older girl, listening to her mother's words, nodded slightly even though her breathing was a little short.

When Shui Yan followed his servants into the mansion.

The members of the Bai family in the entire mansion heard the news and went to the lobby.

And when Shui Yan walked through several corridors, courtyards, and finally came to the lobby.

In the Bai clan hall, members of the Bai clan in Pingyang city had already gathered together.

The ones kneeling at the head are Bai Zhong and two old women who are over half a century old.

Next in order is Bai Yan and two middle-aged men.

The other eight or nine young descendants of the Bai family, men and women, all followed their mothers and stood on both sides.

When Shui Yan entered the lobby.

"Hi~!"

"This!!"

At this moment, those descendants of the Bai family who were about the same size as Shui Yan stared straight at Shui Yan's gaze, and looked at his uncle Bai Yan who was kneeling with doubts on his face.

seems puzzled.

This is Bai Junzhu's fiancé?

Didn't the mother and the others say that grandfather planned to betroth Junzhu to the Meng family or the Longxi Li family?

If you marry this person, isn't it
At this moment, it is no wonder that the younger generations of the Bai family are making some noise, even Bai Zhong, Bai Yan and others are dumbfounded when they look at the young man who walks into the lobby.

He looked at the boy in tattered clothes and his hair was disheveled.If it wasn't for that jade pendant, they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death. The person in front of them was actually a descendant of the Zou family.

As Bai Junzhu's father, Bai Yan, looking at the young man at this moment, thought that if he really betrothed his daughter to this young man, he almost breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, even if he didn't see his wife's worried eyes, Bai Yan had already made up his mind.

No!

You can't betroth your daughter to this boy even if you kill him.

We must find a way to come up with a way to silence the young man without damaging Bai's reputation.

"Elder sister!"

Bai Yingxue looked at the boy at the moment, and then looked at her eldest sister with her beautiful eyes red, full of worry.

"Father is here, don't worry."

Bai Junzhu said softly to the little girl, but her slightly furrowed brows and beautiful eyes full of worry had already exposed her restless heart.
