Chapter 46

The new version of the rumor quickly spread in Lin'an City. No matter the dignitaries or ordinary people in Lin'an City, they were discussing this matter, and the reactions were also different.

In Shi Xiang's mansion, Shi Mingyuan frowned deeply and looked sad.

The rumors were so fierce that he was caught off guard. What worried him even more was that there seemed to be some kind of person or force hidden behind the rumors.

Who is it?Could it be Bai Zongzheng?If Bai Zongzheng really made the move this time, the consequences would be a bit dire. How would he deal with it next?

In An Guogong's mansion, An Guogong Song Yuhong was also restless, and called several staff members together to discuss matters.

"Could it be that the rumors were spread on purpose by the White House? Master Bai deliberately spread such words in order to wash away his daughter's reputation as a monster? Or is there some other purpose?
If it's just for Bai Qiniang's reputation, that's fine, but what if there are other meanings?Duke, this matter is not trivial, we must be cautious. "An aide reminded An Guogong.

"Yeah, a certain thought is the same as that of Mr. Qin.

Mr. Bai Xiang is in a high position, he has a good relationship with His Majesty, the emperor and his ministers, and the son of the Bai Mansion is guarding the border with a heavy army. This kind of help is really rare. If I can persuade Mr. Bai to help me, I will ascend to the high position just around the corner.

It's a pity that XX has already discussed marriage with the daughter of Shi Xiang's family. If he repents at this time, Shi Xiang can't explain it. "

An Guogong was very regretful, he knew that Bai Zongzheng also intended to get involved in the Li Chu, how could he be so reckless to discuss marriage with Shi Xiang's family?

Several staff members were also silent. It was they who proposed that An Guogong and the daughter of the Shixiangfu should discuss marriage. Can they say right now?

"Don't be impatient, my lord, this matter is not yet clear, my lord is still waiting, let's see the attitude of Bai Xiangye." The staff could only be so vague.

In the Jingguo mansion, Jian Shaobai and several others were also discussing matters with Song Yucheng.

"Brother Yucheng, this is not right. We arranged for the monks in Shixiang's residence, but why did monks also go to Baixiangye's residence? Is this a coincidence or is there an expert behind the scenes?

The two sides were carried out at the same time, with a tacit understanding, if I hadn't watched it with my own eyes, I would have thought that both sides were written by Brother Yucheng. "

Jian Shaobai looked puzzled, isn't this a coincidence?Who could communicate with Song Yucheng and use the same method?
"Perhaps, is there really someone who shares my heart with me?" Song Yuchen raised his eyebrows, and the brilliance in those peach blossom eyes flowed, hiding the edge.

It is no longer as gentle and harmless as usual, but more cold and fierce, which is more in line with the temperament of a high-ranking prince.

"Well, if someone really has a heart-to-heart with you, then we can only pray that this person is a friend rather than an enemy.

Otherwise, it would be quite scary to have such an enemy hiding in the dark. "Jian Shaobai shrugged, he thought it was most likely a coincidence.

"By the way, after such a commotion, the water in the capital has become even more muddy. I don't know how many people will go to Bai Xiangye and Bai Qiniang in the future. Don't you worry about that An Guogong?"

Jian Shaobai looked at Song Yucheng with a cheap and curious expression on his face.

Song Yucheng glanced at Jian Shaobai, got up and walked out, "What are you thinking about so much? It's better if the water is muddy, and fish in muddy water.

If the water is muddied, the things hidden under the water can come up to breathe. Otherwise, everyone pretends to be human on weekdays. Who knows if they are people or ghosts in private? "

Seeing that Song Yucheng was about to go out, Jian Shaobai and the others hurriedly followed and went out, "Hey, where are we going at night?"

"Go and see the river lantern release. Today is the night of the Hungry Ghost Festival. What a wonderful day. Wouldn't it be a pity not to go for a walk?"

Song Yucheng's voice seemed a little far away, Jian Shaobai and others quickened their pace and hurried to catch up.

"Seventh Sister, let's go out and release the river lanterns with my brother." On the other side, in the courtyard of Yunxiang Pavilion in the Bai Mansion, Bai Liulang happily invited Bai Mengjin to go out and release the river lanterns.

There is a custom of lighting lanterns during the Mid-Yuan Festival in this dynasty. Not only monks put lanterns on the West Lake, towers, and rivers at the Yulan Basin, but the government and common people also have the custom of lighting lanterns. Even the imperial palace will send people on this day. Put lights on the river.

The river lantern is a lamp that illuminates the underworld. It is to rescue the ghosts in the depths of the nether world, guide the ghosts, and let them follow the lights to reincarnate.

The Bai family is a general who has fought abroad for many years, and countless people around him died in battle.

Therefore, every Hungry Ghost Festival, the mansion will make river lanterns to save the souls of those soldiers, lest they wander around in the underworld without a home.

"Okay, then I'll be with my brother." Bai Mengjin knew these rules, and there were people in Yunxiang Pavilion who tied up river lanterns.

So Bai Mengjin took a few girls and women, and went out in a carriage with Bai Liulang.

The carriage went all the way south, bypassing Da Nei, exiting Jiahui Gate, not far to the southeast, and arrived at the Qiantang River.

The carriage stopped by the river, and a group of people came to the river along the embankment. At this moment, there were already many people gathered by the river. Everyone took out their own river lanterns to light up, put them in the water, and drifted down with the river.

As more and more people put up lanterns, the lights on the river became more and more dense. The swaying lights covered the river, echoing the stars in the sky, and the river lanterns floated farther and farther along the water.

When you get very far away, you can't tell whether it's the lights on the river or the stars in the sky.

On the bank of the river, many people looked at the drifting lights and cried bitterly. The pain of losing a loved one cannot be expressed in words. At this moment, they can only cry out to vent their pain.

Bai Mengjin looked at the river of lights shining like stars in front of him, and thought of those who had left around her, a trace of melancholy lingered in her heart, and she would not leave for a long time.

"Master, teacher wife, may your spirits in heaven be well, and Yue'er is all well, please don't worry about it.

Yue'er has exhausted all her life's efforts to fulfill her master's last wish, look to the north and unify the mountains and rivers, and stop letting the people in the north be trampled and humiliated by foreigners. Master and wife are at ease. "

Bai Mengjin watched the river lantern go away, thinking silently.

"The night is getting late, it's not good for us to stay outside the city for a long time, let's go back to the city." Bai Liulang also turned off the river lights, and stood by the river pondering for a long time before coming to find Bai Mengjin.

Generally speaking, the city gates are closed at Xu time and opened at Mao time.

Today is the Hungry Ghost Festival, and many people will go out to light lanterns, so the closing time of the city gate will be delayed by half an hour.

Bai Liulang was worried that the city gate would be closed if he went back late, so he led the people back.

While walking on the embankment, someone suddenly called Bai Liulang's name. Looking back, it was Song Yucheng and his party.

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Liu Lang and Mrs. Seven by the river. I think the two of you are also here to light the lanterns, right? It's a coincidence."

Song Yucheng, the Duke of Jingguo, had a gentle smile on his face, as kind as spring breeze and rain. No matter who saw him, they would feel warm in their hearts.

Mr. Pianpian is as gentle and moist as jade. This kind of demeanor really makes people fall in love with him at first sight.

Of course, this is what ordinary people think. In Bai Mengjin's eyes, Song Yuchen's smile is very fake, it's clearly a tiger with a smiling face.

Seeing his smile, Bai Mengjin had the urge to take a pot and knock it over. He really wanted to see if this guy could still laugh so much after knocking the pot down.
