Chapter 192

Since Mu Bingqing, the wife of Duke Jingguo, discovered her identity, Bai Xian felt that her life was changing. Although Mu Bingqing said that in order not to attract other people's attention, the Ding family would keep an appropriate distance from Bai Xian.

However, Princess ronghua guessed some clues from her parents' performance in recent days. She was busy taking care of her two children on weekdays. She didn't have so much free time. She only encouraged her sister Ding Huayun to find her new friend Shen Yunqing to play and see the recent situation of Bai Xian.

Therefore, Ding Huayun and Ding Xiaofeng have become frequent guests of Bai mansion recently. Ding Huayun usually talks with Bai Xian and runs to find Shen Yunqing. Ding Xiaofeng occasionally instructs Bai Xian Kung Fu and occasionally recalls the past on the battlefield with her.

Of course, in the face of such a situation, Shao Yue is very unhappy, but he is not happy and can't help it. Who gives him an official position? Only in the morning can he have time to guide Bai Xian to practice his sword. Since he rarely bumps into Ding Xiaofeng, he keeps his dissatisfaction in his heart for the time being.

In fact, Shao Yue really misunderstood Bai Xian and Ding Xiaofeng. For Bai Xian who came from modern times, it is absolutely unacceptable for her to marry her cousins. Ding Xiaofeng is only closer to Bai Xian than her friends, and is far from reaching the point where he will be misunderstood as a relationship between men and women.

It will be the Chinese New Year's day in a few days. On this day, when Ding Huayun and Ding Xiaofeng came to Bai Fu, Bai Xian was making lotus lanterns with Shen Yunqing. In fact, Bai Xian didn't want to make this exquisite lantern, but she had the original memory. She did it quickly and well.

This lotus lantern is used by devout people to mourn their relatives in the river on the night of the Chinese New Year's day. Some people in Luodu also use lanterns to mourn, but most people burn paper money. Ding Xiaofeng and his sister saw someone making lanterns for the first time, and immediately gathered together in front of Bai Xian. They looked carefully.

Ding Huayun admired Bai Xian's hands-on ability. She saw her slender nails flying. Soon she could make a lifelike lotus lamp. Looking at Shen Yunqing next to her, she didn't do it so easily. She sat next to Bai Xian and said, "sister Xian, can you teach me to do this?"

Bai Xian glanced at Ding Xiaofeng. Although everyone is an acquaintance, Shen Yunqing is still a young woman. He should avoid it. Almost while she looked at it, Ding Xiaofeng walked out knowingly, but handed Bai Xian a look to say before leaving.

Bai Xian's heart moved. She was still patient to teach Ding Huayun the steps first. Then she got up and came to the outer yard. Looking at Ding Xiaofeng standing in a daze in the corridor, she went over and asked, "what, what do you want to say?"

Ding Xiaofeng's expression was not as relaxed as when he was with his sister just now. His eyebrows were slightly wrinkled: "in recent days, I have been hearing news from the south. There is especially little rain this year, and the grain output has also decreased a lot."

Bai Xian knows that in ancient times, the productivity is far less than that of modern times. There is no planter or harvester. It depends on people and cattle to grow grain. The only grain harvested is very precious. For example, Yangcheng in the south is the area with the largest grain production.

However, in addition to the food produced by the farmers themselves, the grain produced in Yangcheng should be handed over to the government in Chengdu on May 5, and only half of the grain that the government can stay in the local granary, and the rest should be transported to Luodu.

There is little rain and food production in the south, which affects the people of the whole country. Since Ding Xiaofeng has got the news, I believe the emperor in the palace must know the news. Such a big problem should be left to the emperor in a high position to worry about.

Bai Xian knew that Ding Xiaofeng was a passionate young man who loved the country and the people, so he had to comfort him and said, "brother Ding, since you know the news, other officials have also got the news. I believe the Holy Lord will come up with reasonable solutions to spend this year."

Ding Xiaofeng sneered. He laughed at Bai Xian's innocence and simplicity. The emperor was not such a wise king as Bai Xian imagined. However, he was embarrassed to say such disrespectful words to his face, so he looked relaxed: "you're right. I'm just a small idle job. These things should be left to those big people to consider."

Thinking of the white immortal's Lotus Lantern, he asked, "where are you going to put the river lantern on the Zhongyuan Festival?"

There is only one river in Luodu city. The river flows around the city half a week from the west of Luodu to the East. Bai Xian plans to put lanterns outside the East Gate with Bai mother and Shen Yunqing. When she thinks of this, she suddenly comes up with a good idea.

Bai Xian lowered her head and pretended to ask, "we want to put the lanterns at the east gate. What about you? Will your father and your mother put the lanterns? According to Hua Yun, there are not many people in Luodu who put the lanterns."

Willows are planted along the riverside outside the east gate. On weekdays, there are many small stalls on the street. Bai Xian thinks she can arrange her mother to meet Duke Jing and others in this crowded place.

Ding Xiaofeng didn't understand Bai Xian's meaning, but he didn't directly refuse when he thought of Ding Huayun's stickiness to the Bai Xian sisters. He just said he would think about it again: "OK, when I go back to ask my mother, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law went back to Yang City a few days ago. My mother was sad for several days. Maybe she would want to go out on the Zhongyuan Festival."

After the two finished their business, Bai Xian returned to the inner courtyard and saw that Ding Huayun and Shen Yunqing had long wondered where to play. There were several folded crooked river lanterns on the table. She smiled sincerely and hoped that it would be smooth this time. She didn't want Bai's mother to continue to live with regrets.

Not long after, Ding Xiaofeng took Ding Huayun home. Bai Xian was worried about whether Mu Bingqing, a new aunt, could understand his meaning. He didn't use a few bites for his uneasy lunch. He was upset and didn't even fall asleep for a nap.

Bai Xian couldn't sleep. She was sweating again and asked Ziyun to prepare the bath water. She sat at the door and blew the wind through the hall. Unexpectedly, when Ziyun said she was ready, ah GUI brought in a letter saying it was sent by the Duke of Jingguo.

She tried to hide her smile, drove Ziyun and Agui away, and locked herself in the room. It seemed that when she scanned it, Bai Xian's tears and smile appeared on her face at the same time, and her aunt really understood what she meant.

The letter said that the night before the Chinese New Year's Day was the day when Luodu stipulated that river lanterns could be put. Mu Bingqing couldn't bear that Bai Xian and Shen Yunqing went to crowded places. She specially invited them to go with the Duke of Jingguo. The family would prepare a cruise ship and take a boat to put lanterns a few miles outside Luodu city.

Bai Xian quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes and carefully read the letter. After she was sure that she was useless and read it wrong, her heart was painful and warm. She was distressed that Bai mother had been wronged for so many years. When she fled from the Bai family, Bai mother was just a noble woman who suddenly suffered a family change.

But Bai Mu was lucky, because ten years later, her family was still thinking about her, worried about her, and never forgot her.
