Bai Shizu's old face was red when she asked, this kind of thing is indeed a bit inappropriate to tell his daughter, but he is really anxious, after all, Mu Xinping has mentioned it to him many times in private, if he doesn't solve this hidden worry, he is afraid of hurting the heart of the beauty.

So he stubbornly said: "It's for my father and your cousin's marriage!"

Old Madam Bai glared at Bai Shizu, she really didn't like him being so abrupt, after all, Jin'er was an unmarried daughter, how could she say it so bluntly.

Bai Shizu took a sip of tea embarrassedly to hide himself, but his eyes still kept looking at Bai Mujian's face, as if he wanted to see something.

Everyone made their words clear, Bai Mujian naturally couldn't continue to pretend to be stupid, so he could only smile and bless Bai Shizu and Mu Xinping: "Grandmother didn't say anything, just let Jin'er congratulate her!"

When Bai Shizu and Mu Xinping heard this, they couldn't help but laugh happily, but Mu Xinping pretended to bow her head in shame and stopped talking, anyway, the wood was already in the boat, she just waited to be Ning Guogong's wife.

Although Mrs. Bai was secretly annoyed by Bai Shizu's rudeness, she was still very happy to hear this, and she appreciated Mrs. Lu's generosity very much, after all, this was her Ning Guogong's internal affairs, if the Prime Minister's Mansion insisted on interfering, it would be ignorant, and the two families would definitely have a quarrel in the future because of this matter.

Bai Shizu forgot about his form happily, and immediately said, "Mother, then this matter has been decided, shouldn't we go to prepare?"

Seeing this, Old Madam Bai was a little more dissatisfied with this son, thinking that if she really let Mu Xinping win his favor like this, would she let Mu Xinping be pampered and proud in the future? This hidden worry gradually expanded a little, but when she thought that Mu Xinping was an orphan girl and had no backing, she could only rely on herself, so she let go of her heart.

"I have my own plans for this matter, you still put more thoughts on Chen'er, anyway, he is also a father, his son has such a good opportunity, you have to help take care of it!" said Old Madam Bai lightly.

Bai Shizu hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, my son understands, this matter will be remembered!"

Seeing that he had been following her, Old Madam Bai no longer cared about the gaffe just now, and explained some words to Bai Muhibiscus in detail, hoping that her grandson would be able to enter Dongfang Xuan's eyes, so she went out, but she didn't want to raise her eyebrows.

In fact, it can't be blamed that the old lady is so anxious for quick success, and it is really that she has been aggrieved for too long over the years, Bai Shizu is not a smart person, she can only rely on the shadow of the old prince, and now she has become a five-grade squire of the Ministry of Works, she has no real power, and her mind is all on the vassal elegance, and she is pretentious, so that the old lady who has always been arrogant can not raise her head in the circle of noblewomen.

She always felt that she was famous back then, but the nobles who were not as good as her all married well, and their children and grandchildren were also angry, and now they have achieved higher official positions than her sons, so she is naturally not convinced, so she is bent on cultivating a few more children and grandchildren who can raise their eyebrows for her, so as to live up to her fame.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai looked at Bai Hibiscus's eyes more and more brightly, this granddaughter did not live up to her expectations, not only is she smart and intelligent, but now she also knows how to help her younger brother, she feels that it is a very correct choice to put the treasure on Bai Hibiscus.

The four people in the room were happy, and they all met their expectations, but when the news reached Ning Xiangyuan, the Lu family couldn't sit still.

"You said that the news that Bai Mujin brought back is that the Lu family does not interfere in the internal affairs of the Bai family?" Lu Ningxiang called out in disbelief.

Mama Du nodded, and said helplessly: "This is the news from Ziyu, there will definitely be no fake, I heard that now the grandfather is urging the old lady to prepare for the marriage!"

"I don't know what the second sister-in-law should do, didn't she let her persuade the old lady? It didn't work at all, it must be Bai Hibiscus who was getting in the way again!" Lu gritted his teeth and said.

Mama Du is not easy to say anything, even if it is her, she is not willing to interfere in this matter, after all, the two families are in-laws, and Prime Minister Lu is not arrogant, how can she interfere in the affairs of her son-in-law's family, it is not good to say.

But Lu didn't think so, she felt that her mother's family should help her, they didn't help her, wasn't it because she was a concubine, if Lu Wanqin encountered this incident, then Mrs. Lu would definitely not stand idly by. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I couldn't help but smash the furnishings in the house again.

Mama Du saw that she was starting to go crazy, and immediately persuaded: "Ouch, my madam, don't be angry anymore, the slave knows that you are bitter in your heart, but now that the wood is in the boat, it is useless to be angry, if it reaches the ears of the grandfather, won't your hard work these days be in vain?"

Lu Shi reluctantly stopped, and said hatefully: "Since that girl and I went against me, it seems that nothing is going well, it is really my disaster! My mother-in-law only loves Lu Wanqin, where is there a moment to put my concubine in her heart, let me enter Ning Guogong as a steproom, not for a pair of children left by Lu Wanqin, phew! I don't go along with her, I want to toss those two little mongrels, who let them be Lu Wanqin's children, they deserve it!"

Seeing that the more she talked, the more outrageous it became, Mama Du hurriedly pulled her to sit down and said, "Madam, you can't talk nonsense, although Ning Xiangyuan is your person, but if you accidentally spread it, how can it be good?

When Lu Shi heard this, he immediately forgot to be angry, and asked in surprise, "But really?"

"It's true, as soon as the eldest lady came back, she happily told the old lady, and the old lady was so happy that she bloomed, and told the grandfather to take care of it properly, and ensure that the eldest young master can enter Mr. Dongfang's door!" Mama Du was slightly relieved to see that she was no longer angry.

Lu Shi frowned at first, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "Great, our opportunity has come!"

Mama Du looked at her puzzled, Lu smiled and said, "If Bai Muchen didn't succeed, and my Xuan'er entered Mr. Dongfang's door, then in the future, the title of the Duke of the Kingdom could still be given to Bai Muchen?

Lu's heart was happily filled with honey, and his wishful thinking crackled, as if this opportunity to apprentice was Bai Gaoxuan's.

Mama Du asked suspiciously, "Why can't the eldest young master go, but the second young master can?"

"Hmph, why does Bai Muchen's stupid boy fight with my Xuan'er, I will never give him this opportunity, if he worships under Mr. Dongfang, then in the future, I want Xuan'er to inherit the title, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult, but if Xuan'er gets this opportunity, things will be reversed, they are all Lu Xiang's grandsons, my father must not be so partial, right?" Lu said.

Mama Du looked at her expression, and knew what kind of idea the Lu family had again, she would definitely make the eldest young master unable to go to apprenticeship, and give up the opportunity to the second young master, although Mama Du was also optimistic, but she always felt that it would not go so smoothly, that the eldest lady was not a fuel-efficient lamp, could she give up the opportunity so easily?

But Lu's abacus beads had already begun to calculate carefully, and the sparkle in her eyes was determined to be great, and she felt that this was the best news she had heard in a long time. Lu Qingyun of the Lu family's house is under the door of Mr. Dongfang, so he is still a minor, he is already famous, and he has made friends with many kings and grandsons, and his future future can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

"Mama, go and call Xiao Lu, I have something to tell her!" Lu suddenly smiled a little deeper, and his eyes flashed.

Mama Du didn't dare to disobey, so she immediately responded, and then retreated, thinking that Mrs. must be going to do something to the eldest young master, and the struggle in this back house will always be so cruel.

After Xiao Lu was called Ning Xiangyuan, Bai Mu Hibiscus called Bai Muchen to Jinlan Yuan, and saw that Xiao Lu, who had been following his younger brother, did not come, so he asked in surprise: "Chen'er, where is Xiao Lu next to you?"

"Oh...... She has something to do, but what does my sister have to explain to her?" Bai Muchen asked indifferently.

Bai Mujin shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little strange! I have something to discuss with you!"

"What's the matter?" Bai Muchen asked with some curiosity.

Bai Mu Hibiscus nodded and asked, "Have you heard of Mr. Dongfang?"

"Of course, it's that great Confucian, the master in the school often mentions it, with full respect and worship in his tone, he must be an amazing person!" Bai Muchen replied truthfully.

Bai Mujin smiled, and then said, "Then if my sister has a way for you to worship Mr. Dongfang, are you willing?"

Bai Muchen's eyes widened in shock, although he didn't know the details of Mr. Dongfang very well, but as long as he heard the tone of the masters, he knew that such a character was simply out of reach, he had also heard that the eldest cousin had worshiped Mr. Dongfang, and he had envied him for a long time, but he never thought that he could also be Mr. Dongfang's apprentice.

Hearing Bai Mujin say this, Bai Muchen thought that he was hallucinating, and said in a daze: "Sister, don't tease me, how can there be such a good thing?"

Bai Mujin frowned slightly, not very satisfied with her younger brother's reaction, how could her younger brother be so unconfident, although Dongfang Xuan's reputation was indeed a bit unattainable, but as the future Ning Guogong, Bai Muchen's vision was indeed a little low.

But in the end, it was his younger brother, who was only eleven years old after the New Year, and it was still too late to teach well, so he said: "Why does my sister tease you? Besides, this matter may not be as good as you think, first of all, Mr. Dongfang's threshold for accepting apprentices is high, and secondly, even if my sister has a way to let you in, she can't help you learn the real skills, everything depends on yourself!"

Bai Muchen saw Bai Mujian's slight displeasure, and immediately said, "Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you!"

Bai Muhibiscus shook his head and said, "I don't blame you for doubting me, but I feel that as the eldest son and grandson of the Bai family, you shouldn't doubt yourself, even if it is difficult to be Mr. Dongfang's apprentice, you should have full confidence, otherwise it will be in vain if I help you again!"

Bai Muchen seemed to understand, lowered his head a little ashamedly, and only raised his head for a long time before pursing his lips and said, "Sister, I understand, I won't let you down!"

Bai Mujin was also very relieved to see that he could understand a little, and showed a smile, and said: "Remember, we are no worse than anyone else, I have also seen your homework, although it is not the best, but fortunately, you are diligent! Although Mr. Dongfang accepts apprentices based on qualifications, but also on character, you are preparing for life these days, waiting for news from your sister!"

Bai Muchen nodded happily, hugged Bai Mujian's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister, you are so good, hehe......"

Bai Mujin was amused by him like this, sneered, nodded his head, and said, "What an adult, you are still coquettish, and you are not afraid of people laughing at you!"

"I'm afraid of something, and there are no outsiders!" Bai Muchen wrinkled his nose and said with a grin, but he still let go of his hand and did not continue to pull Bai Hibiscus.

Bai Mujin explained some things in detail, and asked Bai Muchen to prepare to see Dongfang Xuan, before letting him leave, Bai Muchen just left, the magpie came in from outside, and when he saw that there were no outsiders, he whispered: "Xiao Lu went to Ning Xiangyuan, I saw that she looked a little weird when she came out, and she also held a cloth bag in her hand, but it didn't look like something that Mrs. rewarded!"

Bai Mujin frowned slightly, she knew that Xiao Lu was Lu's person early on, and the reason why she didn't get rid of her was because Xiao Lu acted in a low-key manner, although she always reported Bai Muchen's affairs to the Lu family, but in the end she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, thinking that the Lu family didn't plan to do anything to Bai Muchen for the time being.

But this time quietly let Xiao Lu go, or take advantage of Bai Muchen's absence, it would be a little strange, what kind of ghost did the Lu family have in mind? But after thinking about it, maybe it was to ask Xiao Lu to ask about Chen'er, maybe she was too worried about herself, after all, the Lu family was too busy taking care of herself now, so she shouldn't have a chance to find trouble with Chen'er.

"You continue to let people keep an eye on Xiao Lu's actions, pay more attention to the eldest young master these days, and repay me for anything!" Bai Mu Hibiscus explained.

The magpie nodded and said, "Miss, don't worry, the people we put next to the eldest young master will also be doubly careful!"
