Chapter 132 Twelve years, haven't you found her yet?
Changsun Tao's mouth was raised again, and Bai Li kept blocking his face with a fan and did not speak.
At this moment, Bai Mansion arrived.
In fact, Bai Mansion is adjacent to the Qi Wang Mansion, but the buildings are much older than Liangcheng. The house is lush and the trees are lush. A few towering cypress trees indicate that the mansion is far-reaching. The rocks on the rockery and the water vessels in the yard are covered with green moss, which is a very quiet and elegant place.
Mrs. Bai led Yu Qinghuan to the ancestral hall and asked her to kowtow and burn incense in front of Mr. Bai's tablet. Then, Mrs. Bai sat down and the maid handed the tea cup. Yu Qinghuan took it and knelt seriously in front of Mrs. Bai: "Godmother is here, please accept Yan Yan's bow. After Yan Yan, he will definitely treat his godmother as his relatives, respect his elder brother as his elders, and invite his godmother to have tea."
Mrs. Bai took the teacup from Yu Qinghuan's hand, took a sip, and said gently: "Yan Yan, you will be my daughter from now on."
As she said that, she stood up and helped Yu Qinghuan up, holding Yu Qinghuan's hands, her eyes were filled with tears: "I will treat you well like my mother. If Zhaohua dares to bully you in the future, tell me and I will teach him a lesson!"
"Yes." Yu Qinghuan said softly, "Yan Yan obeys the order."
Mrs. Bai looked at her kindly, turned her head and ordered, "Bai Li, take Yan Yan over and let the people in your room greet you."
Bai Li smiled on his face: "Yan Yan, let's go, brother will take you to see a few sisters-in-laws."
Yu Qinghuan knew that Mrs. Bai and Changsun Tao had something to say, so she left with Bai Li.
"Zhaohua, it's so similar! Not only does it look like it, but it's even like it." After Yu Qinghuan and the others walked away, Mrs. Bai covered her face with her sleeves and cried softly, "It's all my fault that I was incompetent and could not save them back then."
Changsun Tao bowed: "Aunt Qiong, Mr. Bai has already died because of this. You don't owe your master's wife anything."
"It's all my fault. I've mentioned this again very well. Zhaohua, I have always owe you a thank you. If it weren't for your relationship with Chenghe, I wouldn't have known the truth back then." Mrs. Bai said with red eyes.
Changsun Tao said: "Aunt Qiong, things have happened. Please grasp the present and don't be too obsessed with the past."
Mrs. Bai wiped the corners of her eyes: "You said to me, aren't you the same? After so many years, isn't there any news about Yuer?"
Changsun Tao shook his head and said in despair: "No, there is no clue."
Mrs. Bai sighed: "Because of my relationship with Chuanping, the court has been keeping an eye on the Bai family. I can't help you find it, otherwise it will harm her."
Changsun Tao said: "I understand that Aunt Qiong's words, I don't have to be upset about Aunt Qiong, but I have to ask Aunt Qiong for help if I have something to do."
Mrs. Bai said, "But it's okay."
Changsun Tao said: "The princess is a good woman. She is different from the people in the Yu family, but she is also an unfortunate child. Please ask Aunt Qiong to care about her."
Mrs. Bai nodded: "I have heard about Pingcheng. She is indeed a rare good child. Her courage and pride are comparable to those of Kawahira back then. Even if you don't tell me, because of her temperament and appearance, I am willing to regard her as my own."
"Thank you Aunt Qiong." Changsun Tao bowed and bowed.
Mrs. Bai stared at her and suddenly said, "Zhaohua, have you ever thought that she is Yu'er?"
Changsun Tao silently said, "It's very similar, but I have checked her background and it's clean. It's true that it's the daughter of Yu Jian and Chu."
Bai sighed: "I, a business woman, don't understand the affairs in the court, and I can't help you with anything, but if you have any other needs, you can tell Chenghe."
The people do not fight with officials. Although the Bai family is rich enough to rival the country, as long as the power is in one word, the wealth accumulated by countless generations will disappear in an instant.
The reason why the Bai family stands tall is not only due to its diligent efforts, but also has a sense of caution. Among the thousands of family rules, half of them teach the clans how to make a living under the eyes of those in power. It’s not that Mrs. Bai doesn’t want to help Changsun Tao, but she just can’t gamble on the entire Bai family to care about this matter.
Changsun Tao said: "Aunt Qiong, I have nothing to ask for, I just ask for help to take care of the princess."
Mrs. Bai nodded: "I understand, don't worry."
The Bai family has extremely strict rules. Except for Mrs. Bai and her future young lady, the women's family are easily unable to get the front yard, so Yu Qinghuan was taken to the back yard by Bai Li.
When the two arrived, Bai Li's nine-room concubine had already received news and was waiting in the flower hall in the backyard.
I have to say that Bai Li is really blessed. People say that they marry a wife and a virtuous person, and a concubine and a beauty. This small flower hall really brings all the beauty of the world. In terms of color alone, it is even better than the harem today.
"Husband." The nine beauties were all polite, with a decent attitude and a decent smile, so perfect that they could not find any mistakes.
Yu Qinghuan's eyes were on them, and she felt pleasing to the eyes, but Bai Li was obviously indifferent to the interest. He pulled Yu Qinghuan over and said to Mrs. Jiufang: "Yan Yan will be the eldest lady of the Bai family from now on, that is, my sister. You all come to see you."
"Yes, husband." The concubine of the Nine Room responded in unison, then slowly turned around and saluted Yu Qing Huanfu, "I have met the eldest lady."
Yu Qinghuan's feeling was a little complicated at this moment. Looking at these delicate women saluting her, she suddenly understood where the queen's noble dignity came from - there were so many people respectful in front of her every day, even if she was a fool, she would have the illusion of being the only one.
"You little sisters-in-law don't have to be too polite." Yu Qing smiled, his tone was faint, not too enthusiastic, nor too indifferent to make others feel uncomfortable. She grasped the standard here just right.
It’s not that she wants to show off her character, but because she looks at Changsun Tao’s attitude, she may have a lot of interactions with the Bai family in the future.
She always believes that people should not be too enthusiastic at the beginning, because the kindness shown at the beginning will indeed win the temporary favor of others, but it will also give others the illusion of "kindness" and think that they are easy to talk and discuss. Once such an impression is frozen in others' hearts, if they are suddenly tough in the future, they will become disgusting.
It’s better to take up the airs at the beginning and let others slowly know their goodness, so that others will think that they are actually good.
This is the nature of human beings, and Yu Qinghuan has a deep understanding of this. Furthermore, she was a princess and the adopted daughter of the Bai family. With such an identity, she did not have to be kind to the nine concubines.
Seeing that Yu Qinghuan's attitude was neither cold nor hot, the concubine was a little unsure. She lowered her head and did not dare to speak. The atmosphere became stiff for a moment.
