MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 7 7. Second brother

Going north along the Jinshui River, about half an hour later, the Bai family's carriage finally entered Xuantai Square in the North City.

This area is home to all the ministers of the DPRK, especially officials of the third rank and above who basically have their residences in this square.

It can be said that the neighbors on the left and right are all powerful people.

Bai Xiang's residence is located on the busiest Chang'an Street in Xuantaifang.

 Two large stone lions squatted in front of the door. The carvings were lifelike and full of majesty.

There were several young men on lookout who saw the Bai family's carriages and horses entering the city and trotted back to report the news. So when Bai Sanlang and his party arrived at the gate of the house, they saw two stewards and several women standing at the door.

Bai Sihan was very curious, but she suppressed the excitement in her heart and quietly opened the curtain to take a closer look. She saw a mature and solemn steward coming forward and saluting his father in the carriage in front.

“The third master has been working hard all the way. The old lady and uncle at home, the fourth master and his wife are all waiting in the hall. They said they are waiting for you to come back for the reunion dinner.”

Bai Chaoke replied in a low voice through the curtain, "Mother Lao is waiting. After I and my family have freshened up, we will go see her immediately."

“Yes, Mr. Third, please.”

At this point, Bai Chaoke got off the carriage.

The face of the man in his early thirties has a rare and steady look, and his appearance is ordinary. He is not as resolute as the uncle, nor as handsome as the fourth master.

Having been an official for many years, I have developed the habit of pursed lips and not saying much. This sudden look is a bit majestic, making people feel hard to get close to him.

Shen took a deep breath and began to adjust her clothes and hairpins from side to side. After making sure, she looked at Bai Sihan up and down, and whispered in her mouth.

“The servants in the Bai family are all your aunt’s family, so you can’t let them look down upon you, you know?”

 “Don’t worry, mother, your daughter understands.”

 He nodded solemnly towards his daughter Bai Sihan before taking her out of the carriage.

The cold wind in Dongdu made the mother and daughter shiver a little, but when Mrs. Shen raised her head and looked at the word "White Mansion", she was filled with excitement.

 Finally, it’s back!

 This time, I will not leave in despair!

On the other hand, Bai Sihan was a little puzzled. She deliberately did not wear a hat and curtain in order to make the Bai family's servants stunned when they saw her. Unexpectedly, no one reacted.

 Are the family rules so strict?

While he was feeling depressed, he saw two women who had tidied up behind the scenes came up and saluted respectfully.

 “Third madam, second young lady, please.”

At this shout, both mother and daughter Shen were very pleased with themselves, and followed them through the door proudly.

At the gate of Feng Mansion, unlike the stern treatment of the servants of Bai Mansion, the guard boy on duty was dozing off when he heard the sound of galloping horse hooves, waking him up from his shallow dream. .

 “The second master is back!”

The boy's face was full of excitement. He immediately ran a few steps and came out of the corner door to wait.

I saw a young man riding a horse from a distance. When he was approaching the door of the house, he immediately reined in his horse and stopped suddenly.

At this moment, Feng Jinlin pulled the reins, and the horse's head was raised high and he neighed. He raised his forepaws high and then landed heavily, shocking the guard boy and taking a few steps back.

 “Why are you always frightened by Zhuiyun?”

 The boy showed an ugly smile and answered helplessly.

"Second Young Master's Zhuiyun is so tall, isn't the younger one afraid of being kicked by it?" Having said that, the man took the initiative to hold the horse's rope.

The Thousand Mile Horse under his crotch is named Zhuiyun. It is black and beautiful, except for the white hair on its four hooves. The horseshoes are made of pure gold and are engraved with auspicious cloud textures. From a distance, it looks like they are not just feet. The appearance of stepping on auspicious clouds. Feng Jinlin raised her eyebrows and laughed loudly.

“I’ve taken good care of my young master, Zhuiyun, and I’m going to ride him to hunt foxes in a few days.”

"yes."

Throwing the riding whip at the young man, along with a small ingot of scattered silver, the young man's mouth was filled with joy, but he strode towards the house with his head held high.

 In Ning'an Courtyard, food is being served at the moment.

As soon as Feng Jinyao put down the book in her hand, she heard a man's hearty and generous voice coming from outside. She felt happy, immediately got down, put on her shoes, and walked outside.

 “Where’s A Yao?”

"Second Young Master! The lady is in the house. The meal has just been served. Do you want to eat together, Second Young Master?"

Hydrangea was a little more surprised when she saw the visitor, and immediately came forward to say hello.

“Put it on, let the cook cook some more dishes, and go hunting in Mingchi Mountain for a few days. We’ll eat and sleep in the open, and I’ll be starved to death.”

"Yes, I will give you the instructions now."

Hydrangea saluted with a smile and ran towards the small kitchen at the back.

 The girls in the yard all blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to take a peek.

His long black hair was flying in the wind, and his brows were filled with the heroic appearance of a young man. His face, which had just faded from its immature appearance, had a somewhat mature and sassy look, and he was free and elegant.

The Bai and Feng families were naturally beautiful, especially Mrs. Feng, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Capital at that time, and Feng Jinlin was the child who most resembled her, with the same natural charm.

The fox fur cloak made him even more handsome, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

 After lifting the curtain and coming out, Feng Jinyao's eyes suddenly heated up when she saw her second brother walking over in high spirits.

I don’t know why, but I suddenly remembered the depressed and defeated look of his last life.

very nice! very nice!

At this moment, he was still the young man wearing bright clothes and angry horses, with such a fresh and pure smile still rippling on his face.

As soon as Feng Jinlin walked in, he saw his sister's tearful eyes and her clothes were thin, so she immediately said anxiously.

“What are you doing out on such a cold day?”

Feng Jinyao didn't answer him, but just threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly with both arms. Just like the time when she was scared by a wolf and cried when she was a child, she also hugged him when Feng Jinlin found her. So tight.

"Okay, in a few days, take your husband with you. Don't pester your second brother all day long. He's just like a little girl who hasn't grown up yet. She's still crying. Be careful. I'll tell my eldest brother to go and let him too. The joke is on you.”

Before Feng Jinlin finished his joke, he felt a pain in his waist.

“Hey, why are you still pinching people? You used to pinch people a lot when you were a kid, but I don’t have a good piece of meat on my body!”

 Feng Jinlin turned her grief into nothing with just a few words.

“Where have you been? Tomorrow is my grandma’s birthday. I’m just coming back now. Be careful if your father finds out and gives you something good to eat!”

"Su Cheng got news that there are a few fire foxes on Mingchi Mountain. I thought winter was coming, so I went to hunt a few to make cloaks for you and your mother."

While they were talking, the two of them entered the door. The dishes on the table made Feng Jinlin drool with greed.

While eating, he was talking to Feng Jinyao about the interesting things he had hunted in the past few days, but Feng Jinyao frowned slightly at his appearance.
