The emperor was greatly impressed after seeing it, and Cheng Jiayu even went to the disaster area in person with a large amount of relief food to provide relief to the victims.

Since then, Cheng Jiayu became famous overnight, was promoted successively, and achieved great success.

Thinking about it now, Bai Zhaozhao felt that Cheng Jiayu in the original novel probably knew about the drought in Yuzhou when she first met Yan Yongcheng!

But he didn't say it. Does he look down on such minor disasters?

It was not until the severe drought this year, when people were short of water and food, with starving people everywhere and countless refugees, that he exposed the incident!

Then it is quite terrifying to think that Yan Yongcheng failed the exam and returned to his hometown.

It seems that this matter is not simple. Bai Zhaozhao calculated that Cheng Jiayu in this life is already in the capital, and the person who met Yan Yongcheng first became a member of the Bai family, which may change his ending.

At noon, everyone continued on their journey.

Yan Yongcheng was on the road with a servant and an old carriage, and Bai Lin suddenly invited him to travel with the Bai family.

Xuezi Jiang was stunned. Although he didn't want to travel with the Bai family, Bai Lin obviously looked down on him!

This time, Bai Shihong and his wife got on another carriage. Mrs. Bai said that she wanted to keep quiet on the road for fear of disturbing Bai Zhaozhao.

Bai Zhaozhao responded with a smile. She knew that Mrs. Bai was probably afraid that she would let the cat out of the bag again and cause Bai Zhaozhao to question her further.

Bai Lin got on Bai Zhaozhao's carriage with a serious look on his face. Bai Zhaozhao asked, "Brother, just tell me what you want to say!"

Bai Lin looked at Yan Yongcheng who was following behind him, and after a moment of deliberation, he said, "There was a drought in Yuzhou last year, and the grain production decreased. Yan Yongcheng's distant uncle is the prefect of Yuzhou. He said that he wanted to find a way to meet Prince An when he went to Beijing this time. When I asked him why, he refused to tell me."

Bai Zhaozhao asked curiously, "Then why did he tell you that he wanted to see Prince An?"

Bai Lin was slightly proud: "In fact, I met him last night. We had a very good chat and it felt like we had met too late. He let it slip for a moment, but since he mentioned Prince An, I came to tell you."

Bai Zhaozhao nodded: "I understand. When I get to the capital, I can talk to Prince An about it and see if I can meet him."

Bai Lin was surprised and asked: "How do you know I want to say this?"

Bai Zhaozhao laughed and said, "It's so obvious, don't I know it?"

Bai Lin also chuckled: "Zhao Zhao is really smart."

In fact, Bai Zhaozhao understood what Bai Lin meant. He simply knew that Yan Yongcheng wanted to find Prince An to tell him about the drought and wanted to help him. Bai Zhaozhao also knew that the prefect of Yuzhou was Prince An's man.

So even if Bai Lin didn't say it, she had planned to tell Prince An about this matter.

Two days later, the towering city gate of the capital stood before us. A horse-drawn carriage drove slowly in and traveled on the streets of the capital. The atmosphere of prosperity filled us.

All you can see are green tiles, red walls, and protruding eaves. The shops have various signs, and the streets are filled with cars and pedestrians.

What a magnificent scene!

At this time, a middle-aged man in a gray robe stopped their carriage and asked, "Excuse me, are you from Bai Jieyuan's convoy in Linyang County?"

Bai Hao, who was walking in front, was stunned for a moment and replied, "Exactly. Who are you?"

The middle-aged man bowed quickly and said, "I am the steward under Princess An. My surname is Guo, so you can just call me Steward Guo."

Bai Lin also walked out of the carriage at this time and said, "I am Bai Lin. May I ask what the princess wants me to do for you?"

Manager Guo said quickly, "Bai Jieyuan, this is the case. The princess thought you should be here by now, so she asked me to contact the potential customer to wait here. There are two nice houses for sale. I wonder if Bai Jieyuan would be willing to go and take a look?"

Bai Lin nodded when he saw this: "Manager Guo, wait a moment!"

Afterwards, Bai Lin went to Bai Shihong's carriage, and after a while he came back and said to Manager Guo: "Thank you, Princess, for your careful consideration for us. In that case, please lead the way!"

The carriage drove to the two houses, one was located in a prosperous area of ​​the capital, and the other was relatively quiet. Both houses had three courtyards and were not big, but were more than enough to accommodate the five of them.

After seeing it, everyone in the Bai family was very satisfied. After some discussion, they decided to buy the house in a quiet area so that Bai Lin could study more conveniently.

The furniture in the house was all ready-made, and one could just move in with just a suitcase. Bai Zhaozhao guessed that this house was probably specially prepared by the princess, but was just used in the name of a hidden guest.

Chunlan and Chunyu went to buy servants, Bai Lin and Bai Hao tidied the room, and Bai Shihong and his wife also packed their bags.

After we settled in, it was already evening and everyone sat together to have dinner.

Bai Shihong said: "Princess An treated us so politely, we should also give her a thank you gift, what do you think, Zhao Zhao?"

Bai Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "Princess An doesn't need anything, we can just prepare an ordinary thank-you gift!"

Mrs. Bai hesitated: "Will this work?"

"Don't worry, mother!" Bai Lin responded, "We will treat the princess well in the future."

Bai Zhaozhao nodded. She knew what Bai Lin meant. Once the status of the adopted daughter was confirmed, when Bai Lin entered the officialdom in the future, she would directly have the label of being backed by Prince An.

Back in Linyang County, Prefect Zhong had also said that he hoped that after Bai Lin and Bai Shihong passed the imperial examinations, they would take advantage of Prince An's influence to quickly gain a foothold in the capital and strive to become officials in the capital in the future.

In fact, Bai Zhaozhao was also a little confused. Princess An was really too good to her. The gift she gave her at her coming-of-age ceremony alone was worth a fortune. Now even the house was sold to the Bai family at an extremely cheap price!

Bai Shihong was also very clear about this, so when signing the contract, he directly asked the potential customer to write Bai Zhaozhao's name.

Bai Zhaozhao originally disagreed. No matter how cheap it was, it was the Bai family that paid for it, and she had more than enough money from her own pocket. But Bai Shihong said that it was a generous gift from the princess, and she couldn't be ignorant. Besides, the Bai family was living a good life now, and would slowly acquire other properties, so they didn't lack this little money.

night.

Bai Zhaozhao was practicing martial arts with Bai Hao. The two figures were flying around, fighting back and forth. Bai Hao mainly punched fast and hard, while Bai Zhaozhao dodged and counterattacked with flying needles. After an hour, Bai Hao fell to the ground.

"Sister, please take out these needles from my body. My whole body is numb!"

Bai Zhaozhao teased him as he pulled out the needle: "You still have the energy to talk when your whole body is numb?"

At this moment, a stone flew over and hit Bai Hao, and he immediately fainted.

"Fuck!" Bai Zhaozhao asked in shock: "What are you doing?"

I saw Dazhong brother standing in front of her: "I have something to tell you, it's inconvenient with him around."

Bai Zhaozhao glared at him: "But if you come out a little later, he will go back to sleep!"

"……Oh."

Then Dazhong brother stopped talking and seemed to be thinking.

Bai Zhaozhao asked directly: "You have something to say, so say it?"

"…I'm leaving now. The bet is fulfilled and you have arrived safely in the capital."
