Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

"What? Who do you say you want to marry?"

Compared with the astonishment of his parents and younger sister, Bai Qingxiao repeated what he said just now with a calm face: "It is the cousin of the younger sister's future husband's family, Miss Qi Qingxi."

He smiled and looked at Bai Shurong: "It's the girl standing next to you in Li's garden today."

Of course Bai Shurong knew who Qi Qingxi was, but the girl her brother liked was actually Qi Qingxi?When did you see it?She remembered that it was the second son of the Zhang family who appeared in the garden today.

"When did you fall in love with her girl?" Mrs. Bai asked Bai Shurong's doubts.

Bai Qingxiao smiled lightly, when? It's been many years, maybe she doesn't even remember him.

"love at first sight."

"Alas..." Mrs. Bai sighed, "It's hard to meet a girl that both my mother and I like, but it's a pity that she's already engaged."

Bai Qingxiao's smile froze on his face: "What did mother say?"

"Miss Qi is already engaged, brother." Bai Shurong looked puzzled, "Mother liked Miss Qi very much when she saw Miss Qi, and asked Mrs. Li on the spot if Miss Qi was engaged. The marriage was granted by decree, and the man is a deputy imperial envoy named Gu from the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Madam Bai also had a look of pity.

But who knows that Bai Qingxiao smiled instead of anger: "It's okay."

"It doesn't matter." Master Bai said angrily, "That is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, what do you want to do?"

Bai Qingxiao said with a smile: "The marriage bestowed by the emperor, what can I do?"

But if the two of them are at odds and want to divorce, or if something happens to the son who is engaged to her, it is impossible to stop others from remarrying, right?

Or maybe he worked hard to win the first prize in the imperial examination next year, and then worked a little harder to become the chief assistant Dangdang, who has power over the government and the public, whether he is a deputy capital envoy or not, and directly snatched him away .

It seemed like a good idea.

"Okay, I have nothing else to do, so I'll go back and read first. My lords, my son will leave."

Bai Qingxiao bowed to his parents and walked away.

Master Bai looked at his son's back thoughtfully.

His own son knows best, Bai Qingxiao is not someone who can fall in love with others at first sight, and he doesn't know when he met the girl from Lao Li's family.

According to Bai Qingxiao's temperament of swearing not to give up until he reaches his goal, there must have been some bad tricks in his mind.

After a while, he told Mrs. Bai: "Recently, apart from being busy with the girl's marriage, you spend more time on Qing Xiao. I always feel that this kid is holding back something."

Qi Qingxi had been learning etiquette and rules from the two nanny who came from the palace every day. Suddenly, at noon one day, Mammy Huang called Qi Qingxi who was about to go to lunch.

"Girl, you have almost learned the etiquette rules now..."

"Madam Huang is going back to the palace?"

Although Qi Qingxi didn't have a very happy time during this period, from getting up every day, eating and drinking, and even going to sleep, Huang Nai was watching her every word and deed, which really made her a little uncomfortable.

But when I heard that Nanny Huang was going back to the palace, I was still a little bit reluctant. Moreover, Nanny Xu would definitely have to go back to the palace with Madam Huang.

Although Madam Xu has already finished talking about the closeness of each family in the capital, but there are so many people in the capital, Qi Qingxi is afraid that she will not be able to remember, so she still wants to ask Madam Xu to come down and tell her again.

"Young lady is looking forward to the old slave's departure so much?" Huang Nanny said.

Qi Qingxi quickly waved his hands: "No, no, how could I have such an idea." It is impossible to admit it.

Huang Momo glanced at Qi Qingxi, as if she wanted to see through her whole body: "The old slave won't leave yet."

Concubine Xian's order was that the two of them could not go back to the palace until Miss Qi and Young Master Gu got married.

"The old slave just thinks that the girl has learned the etiquette and rules for so long, which can be regarded as a small success, so it is not good to detain the girl in the mansion every day. From tomorrow, the girl only needs to learn an hour a day from the old slave. the rules."

Of course Qi Qingxi couldn't wish for it.

Although she had a way to send Nanny Huang back to the palace directly from the beginning, after all, Nanny Huang was sent by Gu Yu's mother, and it was indeed to teach her the ability to take root among the nobles of this dynasty, so how could she refuse? .

Now this can be regarded as being approved by Huang Momo, and there is no need to be barred from going out of the house like before.

It also happened that she was going out to do something that was considered a big event for her.

There is a restaurant that has been open up to now, counting the few stores in the capital and the dozen or so others opened by Shao Hua and her elsewhere, it is now considered a small scale, and she has made a lot of money.

At the beginning, she had imagined buying a house and land in the capital.

It's just that at that time, she had no ideas but no money on her body. Thinking about it, the first store in the capital was rented with the help of Qi Sange.

Now that she has money on her body, she naturally has to put her ideas into practice.

When Zhang Luo was looking for a store in Xisi Pailou, she also asked Yaren to help her keep an eye on the real estate fields around the capital, but after the two nuns came to the mansion, she no longer had time to look around.

Although she was not free, Wang Lang was a caring person, and he kept an eye out for her, and would help her buy any suitable land when he saw it.

Qi Qingxi knew that most of these houses and properties would have some unclear entanglements in them. If they had a bad vision, they would cause trouble for themselves when they bought them back.

It was also thanks to Wang Lang who took the trouble to help her investigate and move around, and he has many years of experience in business, so he could understand the meaning of what someone said, which made Qi Qingxi less troubled.

Qi Qingxi was very grateful to Wang Lang, and thanked him many times, but Wang Lang always said that he should be the one to thank.

Although his matter failed in the end, it gave him a chance to meet the emperor after all, at least the things in his hand were handed over to the emperor.

Moreover, thanks to Qi Qingxi, they are still using their own methods to achieve their goals. He is now living with more hope than before.

Besides the property, Wang Lang also mentioned several houses in the letter.

The house is nice and the price is fair.

It's just that there is a huge difference between this house and the land property. The house is for people to live in, and it is good for those who can live in it to look at it satisfactorily.

I just waited for her to go to the field to have a look and choose one in person.

So Qi Qingxi took the two servant girls, Gingko and Sequoia, out to see the mansion on the second day after Nanny Huang lifted her ban.

To say that Nanny Huang is worthy of being a female official in the palace, Sequoia and Ginkgo have learned the rules together for so long, and their current posture can even be compared with that of the young lady from an ordinary official family.

It's just that the temperament has changed, but the sadness and joy on Ginkgo's face can still be seen through at a glance.

Ginkgo, this girl, every time Qi Qingxi asked her to deliver a letter to a restaurant, she had a strange expression.

This time Qi Qingxi took her to a restaurant together, and the girl Ginkgo looked even weirder.
