The spring of 1880 A.D. (the sixth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty) came to the imperial city of Beijing. This alley, which has gone through many vicissitudes of history, still looks the same. Not far from the alley is Bai's old house - on the black lacquered gate is a couplet: Loyalty passed on to the family, poems and books passed on to the world.Inside the gate, there is a tall screen wall facing you, with the word "Yingxiang" embedded in it, a large courtyard house on the left, an open hall in the north room, and a wide and long corridor around the live screen.There are two small black lacquered doors on both sides of the corridor. At the end of the corridor is a door with hanging flowers, and inside the door is a third courtyard.In the north room, portraits of Bai's ancestors hang on the wall of the main hall.Dressed as a former Qing commoner, with a medicine box on his back, a string of bells in his hand, and a mocking smile on his face, it seems that people can hear laughter.

The north hall of the second-bedroom courtyard of the White House. At this moment, Bai Yinshi and Bai Fangshi who were standing in the main room were anxiously looking at the back room, completely ignoring the maids coming in and out carrying the water basins. From the back room with a thick curtain, Bai Wenshi's shout came out. Bai Yinshi anxiously asked the back room loudly: "What's the matter? Can't you give birth?" Bai Yaping spoke incoherently in the room: "It took a lot of effort! Work hard! Work hard! Grandma Liu, hold on to that side and hold it down!" Before she finished speaking, Bai Wen's voice came out again.

Six-year-old Jing Si and her younger brother Jing Lu ran in recklessly, but Bai Yinshi grabbed hold of her, "What are you two trying to coax?! Get out!" and pushed the two of them out without any explanation. Following Bai Wenshi's scream, Bai Yaping in the back room shouted, "I'm born!" Suddenly everything fell silent. Bai Yinshi and Bai Fangshi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chairs. Yaping then shouted in the back room: "It's a kid!" In the silence, Bai Fang wondered: "Why is there no movement? Did you not cry when you were born?"

Inside, the midwife, Grandma Liu, held the baby who had been wiped clean: "Why doesn't this baby cry?" Yaping was covering Bai Wenshi with a quilt: "You can't cry, he doesn't pant, spank! Spank!" Grandma Liu patted the child's buttocks twice, but the child did not respond. Yaping said anxiously: "Shoot hard!" Grandma Liu patted hard again, but there was still no response. "I'm coming!" Yaping took the child from Grandma Liu's arms and patted it twice. Suddenly, the child seemed to laugh twice. Yaping was startled and looked at Grandma Liu, thinking she had heard it wrong.

Grandma Liu also looked around strangely, not knowing where the noise came from. Yaping patted it hard again, and the child really laughed "ho ho" twice. Yaping was shocked and looked at Grandma Liu in dismay. Yaping glanced at the child in horror, then suddenly threw the child on the kang, turned around and ran to the outside room. Bai Wenshi was puzzled: "What's wrong?" "He...he..." Grandma Liu was at a loss. In the main room, Yaping who ran out was still in a daze, Bai Yinshi and Bai Fangshi hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yaping stared straight: "This kid doesn't cry, he...he laughs!" "Nonsense!" Bai Fang said. The three of them entered the back room together and walked to Grandma Liu who was holding the child.Grandma Liu looked at the three of them in bewilderment. Bai Yinshi: "Why don't you cry? Hit!" Bai Wenshi: "" Take it easy..." Bai Fang: "It doesn't matter, hit hard!" Grandma Liu slapped the child hard on the buttocks. The child laughed loudly "ho ho" twice.All four were stunned. The exhausted Bai Wenshi lying on the Kang let out a long sigh: "Oh! What did I give birth to?"

White house flower room. A large sloping glass window, the sun is shining brightly.The gardener Jin Er was watering the flowers, and there was a big book case in the back of the greenhouse, and two servants were waiting for the master Bai Mengtang to paint. On the head of the table is a pot of Michelia in full bloom. The smiling face drawn on paper is in full bloom. Bai Mengtang bit the brush in his mouth, and stretched it towards the drawing paper. The pen falls on the drawing paper, and the road is powerful. Outside the flower house, I saw Yaping hurriedly entered the moon gate and came to the door of the flower house. The doorman Bing Kuan stopped her: "Grandma Ping, you can't go in. The master paints, and no one can enter."

Yaping: "I have something urgent." Bing Kuan: "That won't work either... If you hire the master to paint, we'll be punished!" "I'll hit the board for you!" Yaping pushed Bingkuan away, lifted the straw curtain and entered the greenhouse. Yaping walked into the greenhouse and stood still: "Dad, congratulations to you, you have another grandson." Bai Mengtang was still painting, as if he knew nothing about it. "Dad, Second Mistress gave birth to a boy!" Bai Mengtang suddenly turned around and threw the pen at Yaping viciously.

Yaping was startled, and hurriedly hid, the pen hit the skirt, staining a piece of ink. Bai Mengtang's mouth was full of ink, and he said angrily, "Who told you to come in?! Get out!" Yaping: "Second Mistress gave birth to a boy." "Be born, be born!" "Listen to me, can I finish my sentence..." Bai Mengtang took a pen handed over by the footman Bingkuan, turned around and stared at the painting in a daze. Yaping: "...this child will not cry when he is born, he just smiles." Rimengtang was taken aback, and looked back at Yaping suspiciously.

Yaping: "Really." Bai Mengtang: "Hit it, hit it hard on the buttocks!" Yaping: "The more you fight, the harder you laugh." Bai Mengtang became serious, and walked slowly to Yaping: "Is there such a thing? Strange. Where's Yingxuan?" Bing Kuan responded from the side, "Second Lord is supporting me on the cabinet." Bai Mengtang: "Where is Ying Yuan?" Bingkuan: "Uncle went to Gonglitai Hospital and hasn't come back yet." Bai Mengtang: "No one is at home?" Bingkuan: "The third master went to Anguo to sell medicine, Xizi came back first yesterday, and said that the third master will be home by now."

Bai Mengtang said to himself: "Laughing from birth is a bit interesting! It's amazing!" Bai Mengtang walked to the desk, took a piece of rice paper, dipped a brush in thick ink, and wrote three large characters on the paper: Bai Jingqi. Yaping: "Okay. I'll tell Second Mistress that the child has a name." Bai Mengtang: "Go to the cabinet and call Yingxuan back to see his son." Bing Kuan agreed, "Yes!" Baicao Hall. A noisy commercial street outside the front door, with shop fronts lined up on both sides of the road.On the door of the three bays of Baicao Hall, the plaque of "Baicao Hall Baijia Old House" hangs high in the center, and people come in and out from time to time in front of the door.In the front hall, people grabbing medicines, waiting for medicines, and buying pills were busy and quiet, and the sound of knocking on the hammer and smashing the medicine with a copper pestle rang out rhythmically.Mr. Sitting by the window was taking the pulse of an old man, and his voice was very low. The clerk who was grabbing the medicine was looking at a prescription, and said to the middle-aged man waiting outside the counter: "Sir, there are eighteen anti-infections in your prescription, I dare not catch it, please come over here." The clerk walked out of the counter and talked to the middle-aged man. The young man came to Mr. Zuotang and handed the prescription to Mr. Zuotang. Mr. Zuotang looked at it and said with a smile: "For this kind of prescription, only two people in the capital dare to prescribe it. One is Mr. Wei from the Imperial Hospital, and the other is Mr. Bai from our cabinet." The middle-aged man smiled: "Your sage is the one prescribed by Mr. Wei." Mr. Zuotang said to the buddy: "Catch it, that's right." Outside the door, a carriage stopped in front of Baicao Hall, An Fu, the housekeeper of King Zhan's Mansion, got off the car and walked into the front hall. Zhao Xianting, the chief inspector, rushed to greet him: "Master An, what kind of medicine does the family need?" An Fu: "Old Fujin is not well, please go and have a look." Zhao Xianting: "The uncle has entered the palace, I don't know when he will be back, but the second master is here." An Fu was taken aback for a moment: "Second Master is fine too, Da Gege has also been sick recently, by the way, please Second Master also take a look." Zhao Xianting: "I'll go and answer." In the knife room at the back of the Baicao Hall, seven or eight clerks were cutting medicine. The second master Bai Yingxuan was dressed as a clerk, wearing an apron, and was teaching two young people to slice. When he looked up, he saw Zhao Xianting who came in: "Is there anything wrong?" Zhao Xianting: "Second Master, Prince Zhan's Mansion sent someone to invite you over, saying that old Fujin is not well." Yingxuan: "Okay, tell them to go back first. I'll be there soon. Hey? Why don't you invite the uncle to go? Old Fujin only believes in the uncle!" Zhao Xianting: "You forgot, the uncle has gone to the palace." Forbidden City.Shenwu gate. Guards are guarding the door. Uncle Bai Yingyuan walked out from the inside.He took out his waist card, and the guard handed it back after seeing it.Ying Yuan walked out of the doorway to her carriage. Chen San'er yelled, Ying Yuan sat in front of the carriage, and the carriage trotted all the way. Eyuan looked around casually, and suddenly found an old lady lying on the side of the road, surrounded by three or four pedestrians.Ying Yuan hurriedly asked Chen San'er to rein in the horse: "Look, what happened to the old lady?" Chen San'er: "Hey! Either you are hungry or you are in a sudden illness, don't worry about him, let's go." Ying Yuan ignored Chen San'er, jumped out of the car and walked towards the old lady. Chen San'er shouted from behind: "Master, there are too many things, you can't handle it." Eyuan walked up to the old lady and knelt down, put his finger on the old lady's wrist, and felt her pulse. Chen San'er also followed. Only one person said: "I'm afraid it's not going to work. There's some gas coming out but not gas coming in." Another generously said: "I don't know which old lady it is." Suddenly, Ying Yuan turned around and ordered Chen San'er: "Take a ride up!" Chen San'er frowned: "I said, sir, why bother with this business? It's not us..." Ying Yuan sternly said, "Hurry up!" Chen San'er hurriedly bent over to pick up the old lady... The carriage goes away. The front hall of Baicao Hall. On the chair by the window, the old lady had already woken up, and there were three packs of herbs on the small table beside her. The old lady: "No, I can't take this medicine. I, a poor old woman, can't afford it." Zhao Xianting: "Old lady, don't worry, our boss has rules, all poor people who look down on diseases are not allowed to collect money, you take this medicine." The old lady looked at it in fear: "Is this... all right?" Mr. Zuotang: "Take these three doses first, and you will come back in ten days when you see better. Don't go out alone again." Old lady: "Tell me what to say." At the gate, Yingguo handed a silver coin to Chen San'er: "Use my car to take the old lady home, and give the five taels of silver to his family, and it will be delivered home, so nothing will happen again." At this time, Bingkuan ran into the door: "Where is the second master?" Ying Yuan asked, "What's the matter?" Bing Kuan excitedly said, "Second Mistress gave birth, she is a kid, please Second Master go back and have a look." Zhao Xianting came over: "Just now someone from Prince Zhan's residence invited the second master to pass." Old Fujin's bedroom in King Zhan's Mansion. Yingxuan got up after examining Lao Fujin's pulse. Old Fujin smiled: "Thank you, Second Master." The housekeeper, An Fu, hurriedly gave way to the outer room, and the two went to the outer room one after another. Yingxuan said, "It's okay, there's nothing serious about it, just eat something clean, don't eat greasy food, and don't catch a cold again." An Fu said politely: "Second Master, please go and see Da Gege again, she is really not in good health these days." Yingxuan was stunned and stopped: "Isn't your mansion Gege the concubine of Lord Tongzhi? It's in the palace." An Fu said: "That's Er Gege. This big Gege came to Jinggang from his hometown in Mongolia for more than a year, and you haven't seen him." Yingxuan followed Anfu to Da Gege's bedroom.The big girl opened the door of the bedroom, An Fu said: "Please first, I'll go and see if the prince is back." Saying that, he left without hesitation.After Lingxuan entered the bedroom, he went to the bed and sat on the spring stool.Da Gege stretched out his right arm from the tent, and Yingxuan sounded his pulse without saying a word. In the main room, the big girl opened the door curtain, and the four little girls came in one file at a time carrying fruit dishes, and placed four dry, four fresh and eight fruit dishes on the round table. The big girl put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk again. Yingxuan concentrated on taking the pulse, and suddenly glanced at the tent in surprise, then turned around to take the pulse seriously, with a smile on his face. The white house goes to the courtyard. Uncle Ying Yuan entered the courtyard with a plate of snacks, and when she walked towards the north room, Bai Zhou, the wife of Bai Mengtang in the main room, was sitting on a chair and listening to the fortune-teller, Blind Wu, to make Jing Qi's horoscope. Ying Yuan walked into the room and put the snack box on the table.Called: "Mom." Blind Wu leaned forward and said, "Master." Mrs. Bai Zhou: "Boss, I'm asking Mr. Wu to approve the horoscope for the second kid, you listen too." Ying Yuan: "Yes, you have a piece of dim sum first, I went to Lan Xin Zhai to buy it for you today." Mrs. Bai Zhou glanced at it: "Don't eat, Mr. Wu, you continue to talk." Ying Yuan looked at Mrs. Bai Zhou without knowing why, and hurriedly opened the snack box. Just listen to blind man Wu: "This little young master will not cry when he is born. If there are no tears, there will be no water. When he is born, he will laugh. His heart is full of fire, fire can overcome metal, he will be strong when he meets gold, and he will prosper when he meets water..." Ying Yuan took out a piece of dim sum and sent it to Mrs. Bai Zhou: "Mom, you have a bite." Bai Zhou said impatiently, "Oh -- don't eat, don't eat!" Ying Yuan froze there holding the dim sum in embarrassment.Woodenly heard blind man Wu still say "... Only when fire overcomes water, can prosperity be achieved when encountering evil stars..." At this time, the third master Bai Yingyu lifted the curtain and walked in: "Mom! I'm back! Brother." Yingyu also carried a plate of dim sum and walked to the table.Blind Wu bowed to say hello: "Third Lord." Mrs. Bai Zhou: "You came back from Anguo?" "Yes." Yingyu pulled the square stool and sat beside Mrs. Bai Zhou, put the snack box on the table, saw the box of snacks from the uncle, pushed it aside politely, and opened his own snack box . Mrs. Bai Zhou: "Listen quickly, the boy born to the second child has a good life." Yingyu deliberately picked up a piece of dim sum and tasted it: "Huh? What kind of flavor, with osmanthus? Is there any dim sum made like this? Mom, try it." Mrs. Bai Zhou took a bite of the pastry: "Silly boy, what is sweet-scented osmanthus? Honey is added to this stuffing, so you don't understand. It's made according to the way in the palace." Yingyu complimented: "Naturally, the old lady sees it a lot. This is Lanxinzhai's dim sum. There are so many varieties. Try this, I don't understand." Ying Yuan stared blankly at the side, and took out a piece from her own box. Bai Zhou took another bite: "This is made of chicken fat, mixed with sugar..." Ying Yuan couldn't help but handed over the snacks she brought: "Mom, you can try my piece..." Bai Zhou's face suddenly changed: "If you don't want to eat, you don't want to eat! I don't like snacks the most, take them away!" Ying Yu gloated and watched, Ying Yuan turned around and angrily picked up the snack box and walked out the door. Mrs. Bai Zhou: "Mr. Wu, please continue." Yingyu interjected: "I heard that the child was born without crying but smiling. It's strange. I'm afraid it's not a good sign." Bai Zhou: "Is it still an ominous sign?" Blind Wu: "You can't say that. This is a sign that you will live a life without loss of food and clothing, and turn bad luck into good fortune." Mrs. Bai Zhou: "Third brother, did you hear that? It's a good omen!" Yingyu: "Yes, it's a good omen." When Ying Yuan was standing in the courtyard in a daze holding the dim sum plate, a servant came over, "Master, please go over to the counter." "Yeah!" Ying Yuan slipped the dim sum plate into the hand of the footman. The footman was taken aback: "Who is this for?" " Ying Yuan stared and shouted angrily: "Throw it away! Pour it down! Feed the dog!" Turning around and walking out. The servant was at a loss for a while, and panicked: "Yes, yes, feed the dog, feed the dog!" At the gate of Prince Zhan's Mansion. Prince Zhan got out of the carriage and walked towards the door. The fourth chai, the manager, rushed down the steps to greet him.Mr. Zhan looked at another carriage parked in front of the door: "Master Bai is here?" Che Laosi: "The big book has entered the palace, it's the second master." Zhan and Che walked in the door one after the other while talking. Gou Bao sat in the car with his whip in his arms and looked at the gate of the palace. The outer hall of the large grid room.Yingxuan wrote the prescription, put down the pen, heard the curtain ringing, turned around and saw that it was Prince Zhan striding in, the four maids followed and stood side by side, and hurriedly stood up too. Prince Zhan: "Are you the second master Bai?" Yingxuan hurriedly took two steps forward to greet him: "Don't dare, Yingxuan, the prince is auspicious." Lord Zhan stepped forward to help him: "Sit down." As soon as the two of them sat down, Lord Zhan asked, "What's wrong with our old Fujin?" Yingxuan: "My lord, don't worry, but I feel cold occasionally, just take the medicine and sweat." Prince Zhan: "My uncle comes every time... It's the first time I saw you today. I see that you are really good at medicine. Fourth..." Then he turned around and ordered Che Laosi to fetch Xie Yi, "Second Master is here for the first time. Give me a double share." The head manager responded and left. Yingxuan hurriedly got up: "Don't dare not dare, only after taking the medicine will count." Lord Zhan: "Look at Da Gege's situation..." Yingxuan: "Speaking of Da Gege's illness, I have to congratulate you here." Prince Zhan: "Oh? Where did you start talking about this?" Yingxuan: "Da Ge Ge is a happy pulse." "Happy pulse?" Prince Zhan looked at Exuan in surprise. "That's right, congratulations to the prince for having a grandson." Yingxuan didn't notice the change in Prince Zhan's expression, he was still smiling. Unexpectedly, Lord Zhan stood up slowly and looked at Yingxuan carefully, Yingxuan was a little at a loss.After a long time, Lord Zhan suddenly let out a "hum" and walked away.Yingxuan looked puzzled, and saw that after Lord Zhan left the house, the servants followed him out of the house one after another. Yingxuan looked at it inexplicably, feeling something was wrong and hurriedly walked out. When Yingxuan walked to the door, she suddenly saw four maids enter the door, remove all the fruit dishes, and then filed out again. Yingxuan was shocked, and hurried outside the house, seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, she looked around in panic. The North House of the Three-Bedroom Courtyard of the White House. Yingyu and Bai Fangshi are packing their luggage. Yingyu smirked and said: "...you don't know the temper of the old lady. The more you tell her to eat, the more she won't eat. You have to coax her. In the end, the eldest brother was so angry that he threw it away and gave it to the dog." Bai Fang: "Why don't you call me a silly old man? Don't you know?...Last night, the old man went crazy and bought a chamber pot for the old lady." Yingyu: "You're talking nonsense?" "What are you doing? He specially made it, and the long-mouthed night check made the old lady smash into pieces." "This filial piety is too much." Ying Yu said, handing a handful of bank notes to Bai Fang, "Put it away." "You got rich?" "Every time I go back to Anguo to buy medicines, it's the second brother. Who knows how much he took for himself, no one is a fool, anyway, it's all money from the public." "In case the old man is asked to find out..." "It's okay!" "Be careful! Don't think that big brother is stupid, he is not stupid at all about the things on the account and the cabinet." "If you have no money, you are poor, and you are afraid when you have money. Let me tell you, just hug me if you can. This year, there are a lot of evil things in the family... Do you see it? The second brother's son laughed when he was born, and the old lady is happy." , this is an ominous sign, maybe something will happen!" In the courtyard of Prince Zhan's Mansion. Yingxuan stood on the porch, still looking around.Seeing An Fu passing by, he hurriedly stopped him: "Master An, what happened to the prince just now?" An Fu waved his hand: "You don't have to go!" "How did I offend the prince?" "Don't ask, let's go!" "I haven't introduced the fare yet." Do you still want the fare?Wait for you! "Anfu hurried away again. Yingxuan looked blankly at the empty courtyard. The upper house of the White House. Bai Mengtang is instructing Hu Jiali, the chief manager: "Today is a great joy, add people to the entrance, and ask all the rooms, no matter how big or small, to come to the hall for dinner." Manager Hu stood at the foot of the steps: "Yes, I'll give orders right away." In the open hall, two maids carried cold dishes, walked around the live screen, and put the dishes on two large round tables.Bai Mengtang, Bai Zhou, Ying Yuan, Bai Yin, Yingyu, Bai Fang, Yaping holding a one-year-old baby, and the children: Jing Yi, Jing Shuang, Jing Si, Jing Wu, Jing Lu, Yufen and others are taking their seats. Bai Mengtang: "Why hasn't the second child come back?" Manager Hu: "It's time, I should have been back by now." Yingyu: "Don't tell me something happened?" Bai Mengtang: "Nonsense again, what can happen if you go to see a doctor?" Yingyu: "I mean, I'm afraid the car broke down halfway, maybe I asked the prince to stay for dinner or something." Bai Mengtang: "Boss Hu, send someone to pick you up." "Yes!" Manager Hu agreed and hurried out of the hall. Bai Mengtang: "Sit down first, wait for the second child." In the courtyard of Prince Zhan's Mansion. Yingxuan was still standing in the courtyard stupidly looking around, seeing a girl carrying food towards the north room, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Where did the chief executive go?" The girl ignored him, walked around him and entered the north room. Yingxuan: "Hey—why no one pays attention to me?!" At this time, at the gate of Prince Zhan's Mansion, Chief Che, who walked out of the gate with seven or eight soldiers, looked around and pointed forward: "There!" Gou Bao was dozing off on the shaft of the car with his whip in his arms, when Che Lao Si and others walked up to the car, and a soldier suddenly pulled Gou Bao off the car. Gou Bao was surprised: "Why is this?!" "Smash!" With Che Laosi's roar, the soldiers rushed forward. A soldier hacked at the fence of the car with a sharp axe, and the wooden frame broke. Gou Bao yelled: "Who recruited you, why did you smash the car?!" The soldiers who dragged him grabbed the whip from Gou Bao's hand, and slapped Gou Bao's face with his backhand. the wall. The sledgehammer smashed on the wheel ship; the sharp ax chopped on the car body; the shaft horse neighed in horror and raised its hooves... Gou Bao crouched at the base of the wall and watched in horror, the scars on his face gradually turned out blood. Two soldiers held the shaft horse, and one soldier moved his long chin toward the spurs.With the sharp neighing of the shaft horse, the dagger pierced into the horse's body, and four or five soldiers also stabbed the dagger into the horse's body at the same time. Gou Bao was trembling with fright, dumbfounded, and slipped back along the wall. "Yangdang", "Kacha"... The car has fallen apart, the horse has fallen to the ground, and the soldiers are still smashing like venting. Che Lao Si looked at everything indifferently with his hands on his hips. At this time, Yingxuan, who was still in the courtyard of King Zhan's Mansion, looked around for no one, sighed and had no choice but to leave. Yingxuan just walked out of the doorway from the inside, and stopped timidly. He saw seven or eight soldiers glaring at him. He lowered his head and walked out. After going out of the gate, he saw Che Laosi standing on the steps and looking at him coldly.Knowing that something was wrong, Yan Xuan hurriedly lowered his head, walked down the steps in front of Che Lao Si, and walked towards his own carriage. When he looked up, he was shocked, only to see that the horse was dead and the carriage was destroyed. Yingxuan looked back at the gate of the palace in astonishment, the murderous Che Lao Si was sneering.Yingxuan turned back to Goubao in horror.Seeing Gou Bao squatting in the corner with lingering fear, Yingxuan hurriedly walked up to Gou Bao: "What happened?" "The bastard grandson knows what happened! Look!" Gou Bao pointed to a bruise on his face. Yingxuan looked back at the entrance of the palace angrily, but saw the big and round Che Laosi and the soldiers staring at him. Ying Xuan bit the bullet and walked towards the door. The soldiers were about to rush forward again, but Che Lao Si raised his hand to stop him, and Che Lao Si slowly went down two steps. Yingxuan stopped in fear: "Director Che, what have I done to you?" Che Laosi didn't answer, looked at Yingxuan contemptuously, and leisurely smelled snuff. Just when Yingxuan felt aggrieved and didn't know what to do, Bingkuan rushed over, and what he saw made Bingkuan stunned.Dazed for a moment, he hurriedly walked to Gou Bao and asked in a low voice, Gou Bao gesticulated and said. Yingxuan was still confronting Che Laosi and the others, Bingkuan walked up to Yingxuan and said, "Let's go, Second Master, the house is waiting for you, let's go!". Yingxuan looked at all this with grief and indignation. The open hall of the White House.night. The girl lit the lamp, and the hall was brightened immediately. People at the two tables waiting to eat sat silently, looking at Bai Mengtang outside the hall from time to time. Bai Mengtang walked up and down the corridor very restlessly with his hands behind his back, looking at the gate from time to time.Mrs. Bai Zhou was at the head of the table: "Master, don't wait, let's eat first!" Bai Qiantang didn't look back: "Wait a little longer, today is his big day, and he will definitely come back later." At another table, the nanny was holding Yaping’s little baby and burst into tears. The nanny hurriedly got up and said, “Grandma, it’s time to breastfeed.” Yaping took the baby and walked to the live screen to nurse. The children were impatient. , Jing Shuang and Jing Wu are secretly eating vegetables. Bai Zhou said: "If you don't tell the children to eat first, they will all be hungry." "Alright." Bai Mengtang just finished speaking, seeing Bingkuan trotting into the yard, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm back, let's eat!" "Master!" Bing Kuan yelled as he walked up the steps, and muttered something in a low voice in front of Bai Mengtang, who looked up in surprise.I saw Yingxuan and Goubao hurried across the yard, and stopped at the bottom of the steps with their heads downcast. Bai Mengtang hurried down the steps, and Yingyu hurried over. Bai Mengtang: "What happened?" Gou Bao: "The horse was killed, the car was also smashed, look at me." Bai Mengtang: "What is it for?" Yingxuan lowered her head: "I don't know!" Bai Mengtang: "Confused! Killed the horse and smashed the cart, don't know what happened?!" Everyone in the hall stood up. Yingyu suddenly shouted: "Without the law of the king, you dare to bully people like this because you are a relative of the emperor. Bingkuan! Take me with you, I'll smash Prince Zhan's mansion! " Bai Mengtang shouted: "Third!" Yingyu fell silent, Bai Mengtang turned to Yingxuan: "Go and see your wife and son first, I'll wait for you to eat." "Yes!" Yingxuan agreed and walked to the back of the hall. The bedroom in the north room of the second room courtyard of the White House. The eldest girl Yinhua lifted the curtain, and Yingxuan entered the room. The second grandmother Bai Wenshi who was lying on the kang hurriedly struggled to sit up, and Mr. Hu who was talking to her hurriedly stood up and stepped aside.Bai Wenshi said: "Come back, take a look at your son, the master named him Jing Qi." Yingxuan leaned over to look at her sleeping son, looked at her, then suddenly turned around and sat on Kang Yan'er, covering her face and weeping. Bai Wenshi hurriedly said: "I already know, what's the use of crying? How did you offend them? You can't kill your horse and smash your car for no reason!" Yingxuan just shook her head while sniffling, and Yinhua handed over a wet towel. "Okay, let's go eat first..." Bai Wenshi comforted, "Don't cry and look sad on the big day, and pretend to be happy, okay?" "Yes!" Yingxuan wiped away tears and turned to walk out.Mr. Hu hurriedly followed suit, but Bai Wenshi called him back: "This matter must be found out, and you can't be fooled by this anger. How will the second master behave on the street in the future?" Manager Hu: "Yes! Although Prince Zhan's mansion is a relative of the emperor, it has always been good to our mansion. It's the first time for the second master to go back. How could he be so disrespectful? Could it be that the second master violated some rules of their palace already?" Bai Wenshi: "That shouldn't be so ruthless. It will spread all over Beijing in the morning." Manager Hu: "Yes! I still have acquaintance with Manager Che of the palace, so I'll go and find out." The open hall of the White House. The meal was over, and everyone was getting up, only Yingyu was still drinking, and Yaping was eating. Bai Mengtang: "Second brother, come here." Yingxuan followed Bai Mengtang around the live screen. Yingyu saw that the people had left, and said to Yaping: "Sister, I knew this child was born smiling, it's not a good sign, something happened?!" Yaping: "Drink your bar! Stop talking nonsense! Isn't laughing better than crying?" "Okay, auntie, whose child do you see won't cry and laugh when it's born?" "Blind Wu said it all, it's a good omen!" "Auspicious omen! Do you believe blind man Wu's words? Pick something nice to say! Just wait and see! It's not sure what will happen in the future." "If you talk nonsense again, I will slap you!" The main room in the north room of the upper room courtyard of the white house. Bai Mengtang: "Since it's a happy pulse, the lord should be happy, why would he walk away?" After listening to Yingxuan's narration, Bai Mengtang was puzzled. Yingxuan said aggrievedly, "I don't know what to do." "Did you misread the pulse?" "No, Lord Zhan saw the medicine I used for old Fujin, and even praised me, saying that he would give me double the traveling expenses." "That's strange! You haven't broken any of their rules, have you?" "I even go in and out of the palace quite often, and I understand all the rules." Just as he was talking, Manager Hu lifted the curtain and came in, asking: "My master is looking for me?" Bai Mengtang said: "It seems that this matter is a bit troublesome, can you find a way to find out?" "Second Mistress has already ordered that I will make an appointment with Che Laosi, the chief manager of Prince Zhan's Mansion, tomorrow morning." "Well! This matter is no small matter. Er Gege in their house is the concubine of Lord Tongzhi. Although Lord Tongzhi is gone, their power is still there. You must find out." Fan Kee Tea House. Fanji Teahouse is located at Ping'an Road intersection, it is a place for coolies to eat and rest, there are not many people in the morning, and the front door is deserted. Mr. Hu stood at the door, and when he saw Mr. Che coming with a follower, he hurried forward to greet him. After exchanging pleasantries, the two walked into the teahouse. As soon as he entered the front hall of the teahouse, he saw Wu Beile Guiwu sitting at the table in the middle, and four thugs and kidnappers sitting behind him. Guiwu was leaning on the chair with one leg on the table. Che Lao Si said: "Oh, Wu Beile, it's long ago, why are you here?" Guiwu didn't move at all: "Wait for someone." Che Laosi hurriedly introduced to Manager Hu: "Wu Belle, our prince's nephew." Manager Hu slapped a thousand children: "Wu Belle!" Gui Wuai gave a "huh" indifferently. "Director of the White Mansion, let's talk about something." After Che Laosi said, he and Director Hu walked to a single room in the back. Suddenly, the curtain at the entrance of the front hall was lifted, and a person walked in. Although he was dressed as a servant, his eyes were piercing, revealing a spirit. He was Ji Zongbu from the Shenji Camp; He stared at Guiwu, and Guiwu stared at Ji Zongbu with a stern face. After a while, Ji Zongbu walked up to Guiwu and pulled a chair to sit down. The two still looked at each other like fighting cocks, and finally Guiwu opened his mouth first: "Yesterday you beat my man!" Ji Zong preached: "Why does he want to bully the orphans and widows?" Guiwu: "What's hindering you?" Ji Zongbu: "You know I just want to fight against injustice." Guiwu pointed to the person standing behind him: "I brought someone here today, what do you think should I do?" Single room in the teahouse. Che Lao Si said: "Master Hu, the second master in your house, if I say a bad word, he's half a fool!" Mr. Hu said, "I don't quite understand what you said." Che Laosi continued: "You know that our prince's Er Gege entered the palace in the tenth year of Tongzhi and became a concubine... Our lord brought his whole family to Beijing, leaving Da Gege alone in his hometown in Mongolia to take care of the housework..." "Yo, this is the first time I've heard of it. I always thought the prince was just a daughter." "It wasn't until last year that Da Gege was brought to Beijing. This delay missed the marriage, and she became a twenty-nine-year-old girl. She hasn't married yet, so how could she have a happy pulse?!" Che Laosi said here, stopping Stop talking and look at Mr. Hu. Manager Hu was really taken aback, and didn't know what to say for a moment. The front hall of the teahouse. Gui Wu pointed at Ji Zongbu, tilted his head, and grinned: "Ji Zongbu, let me apologize to my brothers today, let's go our separate ways... If you don't make an apology today... ..." Ji Zongbu interrupted Guiwu calmly: "I won't pay today!" Guiwu sat up straight at once: "Then I won't be polite." While talking, Shopkeeper Fan, who came to serve refreshments with his staff, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Wu Beile, Wu Beile, don't hurt your temper, we are all friends, you have something to say." "Shopkeeper Fan, aren't you afraid of smashing your broken table, bench, teapot and bowl?" As he said, Guiwu took out a bag of silver from his pocket and threw it on the table.The silver bag fell on the table, and the broken silver scattered out. "I pay!" Ji Zongbu looked at it disdainfully. "That's not what it means..." Before the shopkeeper could finish his sentence, Gui Wu pushed him away, turned his face and shouted: "Trapper!" The kidnapper jumped forward from behind.Shopkeeper Fan blocked the way again: "Everyone is on the job of Shenji Battalion, look up and see you down..." The kidnapper fiercely pushed the shopkeeper Fan away, stepped forward, and grabbed the kidnapper with his hand. Ji Zongbu grabbed the kidnapper's wrist, stood up suddenly, grabbed the kidnapper's waist with his left hand, and lifted it vigorously.The kidnapper was thrown into the air and landed heavily on the table. With a "click", the table collapsed, and the dishes flew and rolled all over the floor. Guiwu was shocked, and the three people behind did not dare to step forward. Li Zongbu calmly sat back on the chair and picked up the gaiwan tea. Hearing the commotion in the outside room, Che Lao Si leaned out from the curtain: "What are you doing? Fight outside!" The kidnapper lay on the ground and clutched his waist.Guiwu looked at the kidnapper: "What a fucking dick!" Ji Zongbu: "What's the matter, try Wu Belle?" "I won't try, I can't beat you, Ji Zongbu! Someone can deal with you!" Guiwu and others hurried out of the teahouse while talking, and the kidnapper got up and slipped out... In the private room of the teahouse, Hu and Che continued to talk. Manager Hu said sincerely: "Understood, no wonder the prince is angry, the second master is really ridiculous." Che Laosi said reasonably: "Think about it, the prince is a bit immovable. If this word gets out, where will the face of our third master be put? The girl who has not left the cabinet is pregnant. Isn't this a face for our prince? Do you want to smear it?" Manager Hu stood up and bowed deeply to Old Che, and Fourth Che quickly stood up too. Manager Hu: "I'll make an apology here first. If I go back immediately and return to the master, how do you think this matter can be settled?" Che Laosi: "No need, the matter is over, it seems that the second master's medical skills are really far behind, but we should be more careful in the future." "I'm afraid that the second master will not dare to practice medicine anymore. Master Che must speak well in front of the prince when he returns home." "Master Hu, you are too polite." The west living room of the upper courtyard of the Bai House. Bai Mengtang looked out of the window with a heavy face and hands behind his back, listening to Mr. Hu's statement. "I think Erjie's medical skills are not as good as the uncle's, but it can't be wrong for this reason." "What's wrong with that?" "Forget about him." Mr. Hu continued, "You go to the palace to pay a present in person. This matter will be settled." Bai Mengtang turned around and said, "It's just like this, I won't die with peace. I, Bai Mengtang, will never do stupid things in my life! He smashed not only cars and horses, but also a century-old brand of the Bai family! There is no one who doesn't know that the Bai family has been planted in Zhan Wang's mansion! Not only will the second child not be able to show up in the future, but the ancestor's face will also be lost! How to explain in the palace and on the cabinet! " Manager Hu: "I think it's better to calm things down!" Bai Mengtang: "Find out the matter before we talk about it." Manager Hu: "So what can we do if we find out? We can't afford to mess with Prince Zhan's Mansion!" Bai Mengtang was furious: "I want to provoke you! Stop talking!" Manager Hu sighed and said in a low voice: "Master... Take a step back and see the sky open..." Bai Mengtang: "Take a step back? Why do you have to take a step back? Every step is so difficult for the old Bai family, why should I take a step back? He just smashed my old bones, and I can't take a step back!"
