I Conquer the World For My Duke - C98

After half a month passed in a row, Bai Zheng had almost never been home before, so Bai Yinan had no objections to this matter.

When Bai Zheng heard the words “The girls that haven’t left the pavilion to show their faces all the time is not a good thing, if they were to be recognized, it would cause criticism”, he did not explain further.

He had only mentioned the names of Feng Linyuan and Soong Yiqing, and had repeatedly assured Madame Lin that she would definitely abide by her responsibilities, only then did Madame Lin give up.

After pacifying the Madame Lin, Bai Zheng was even busier, leaving early and returning late in a few days in a row.

He wanted to talk to the farmers in the villages outside the city about farming the fields, and he also sought out craftsmen who specialized in planting flowers and plants to understand how to grow them.

When he was free, he had to check on the progress of the craftsmen’s decor in the shop.

After arranging everything, when Bai Zheng could catch her breath, it was already the start of spring.

The grass grew and birds flew. It was a good time to grow flowers and grasses.

Under Bai Zheng’s instructions, the 500 mu of fertile land started to be tidied up, and the rose, Jasmine, Gardenia flower seedlings that Bai Zheng purchased, as well as aloe, mint, basil and other plants with green leaves were planted.

During this period of time, there was no lack of kind-hearted farmers to persuade her that five hundred acres of land could not be used to grow all these flashy things, but at least some food.

However, when Bai Zheng heard these words, she only smiled and did not pay any attention to them.

In comparison, because Song Jun had Soong Yiqing’s instructions, the craftsmen inside were much more obedient, they only focused on improving the porcelain according to Bai Zheng’s requirements, and the finished products that came out made Bai Zheng very satisfied.

As for the crafting furnace, after half a month of failure, it had gradually gotten back on track and produced a finished product that Bai Zheng was satisfied with.

As for Soong Yiqing, with Bai Zheng’s help, they successfully opened the first paper shop.

Because of the commotion caused at the Treasure-collecting Tower Auction, the entire Yongding City had been looking forward to seeing this piece of paper for a long time.

As a result, the paper shop started to have good business from the start, which reduced Soong Yiqing’s resentment towards Bai Zheng by a lot.

So much so that when Bai Zheng bumped into him on her way to visit Feng Linyuan several times, he would be called “If you encounter any trouble at the kiln, just let me know” with great concern.

Bai Zheng could only agree repeatedly.

Although she had not rested for more than a month, Bai Zheng was still full of energy everyday, waiting to leave early and return late.

It was to the extent that a group of outsiders came to his Yongding City, and it was even more so the case that at some point in time, there were many people coming and going who did not notice it.

That day, after eating breakfast, Bai Zheng pulled Qingshao and Zhuling along as usual, disguised as men’s clothes, went around the rear courtyard, and exited through the back door according to their usual route.

The sun was warm now, and the sky was getting brighter. People in the backyard had already gotten up early.

Bai Zheng had already gotten used to it. At this point in time, she would encounter a chef who would bring a basket of ingredients back.

But today, seeing carts of meat and vegetables being pulled into the house from the back door, Bai Zheng was completely stunned.

“Miss, do you feel that there have been a lot of people coming and going in our residence these past few days?” Zhuling looked around and asked softly.

Hearing that, Bai Zheng looked around, only then did she realise that unknowingly, there were many people that she had never seen before, and her suspicions grew.

Did something happen in the mansion?

She took a few steps into the inner courtyard, grabbed a servant girl who was wiping the stone pedestals on the side of the corridor, and asked, “This sister, what are you guys busy with?”

The servant girl tilted her head and glanced at her, obviously not recognizing Bai Zheng who was dressed like a man, and said unhappily: What are you busy with, don’t you know how to look?

Bai Zheng laughed: “I didn’t mean that, I just thought it was strange. These stone blocks, I normally only see you guys cleaning them once every three to five days.

Only then did the servant girl raise her head, and once again looked at Bai Zheng seriously, revealing a smile: “I didn’t think that little brother was originally someone from the Bai Mansion, right? I was blind. But since little brother is someone from the Bai Mansion, how could you not know about today’s happy occasion? ”

“A joyous occasion?” Bai Zheng blinked her eyes blankly, “What happy occasion?”

The servant girl raised her head and said with a clear voice: “Of course it’s the joyous occasion of Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis coming to apply to marry Miss Bai!”

Bai Zheng was startled.

Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis? Feng Linyuan!

Bai Zheng was startled.

Feng Linyuan was going to apply today!

The servant’s voice continued: “I heard that the Dingyuan Marquis values the Miss Bai a lot and invited a lot of guests.

Master Bai had also been busy for several days. He had prepared a palanquin today and specially went to General Mansion to ask Old Lady Bai.

Speaking of the Miss Bai, her life was really good. Although she would have to be widowed after only being married to the Dingyuan Marquis for a few years, if her stomach managed to give birth to a young duke, then her future fortune … Hey, little brother? “Lil ‘Bro, where are you in such a hurry to go?”

At this time, Bai Zheng, who had abandoned the servant girl and ran back to her room out of breath, had only one question on her mind.

Who could tell her why no one informed her when the entire Bai Mansion knew that Feng Linyuan was coming to apply?

“Elder sister, you should move faster. Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis has been hired!” Bai Nianming said outside the door happily.

“Got it!” Bai Zheng replied snappily.

This was because Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis had always only had one principal wife and had no habit of taking in concubines.

Therefore, Feng Linyuan intentionally invited two elders from the Yongding City to come together to pay respects to him.

One was Old Duke Wen, who even Feng Linche had to call Uncle Wang. The other was Feng Linche’s benefactor, Old Duke Zhou of the Duke of Zhou’s estate.

The two of them could be considered characters who were both virtuous and ambitious within the Yongding City, and for a moment, the previously unknown and precarious Bai Mansion was no different than the real one.

Not to mention the long betrothal gift list made by Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis, even Bai Zheng’s grandmother and Madame Hee, who had specially invited him, stared blankly at it.

“Zheng pays her respects to Grandmother, the Wen King’s Consort, Old Madam Zhou, and the various ladies.”

When Bai Zheng stepped into the Bai Mansion Hall, she saw that Madame Hee was happily chatting with a few of her wives, and there were a few other ladies below who looked familiar to him as well.

Madame Lin, on the other hand, accompanied her smiling face. Although she was a little nervous and nervous, it was clear that she still carried some joy that she could not conceal.

“Zheng is finally here.” When Madame Hee saw Bai Zheng, a trace of surprise flashed past her murky old eyes, and she said with a calm tone.

Bai Zheng obediently lowered her head, “I’ve made Grandmother wait for a long time.”

“Miss is usually shy at times like these. It’s normal for her to come out later …” Madame Zhou had not finished speaking when she heard Madame Hee speak.

“You’re also someone who’s about to get married, how can you still be so ignorant?”
