East Street Palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mu Bai, the young housekeeper, held the big red gilded invitation, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, the Bai family, the so-called richest man in Liyue City, actually wanted to climb to the palace family, and he didn't look at his identity. Since they moved to Liyue City, they have received various invitations every day, either to celebrate their birthdays, or to get married, or such boring trivial things. The second lady of the Bai family has just recovered from a serious illness, is it worth such a teacher?
Mu Bai threw the invitation card in his hand and strode towards the study, not noticing that someone was standing behind him.
When Mu Bai walked into the study, he found at a glance that Childe was in a bad mood, very bad, and said tremblingly, "Childe, there is news from Xinzhou that the Yang family has recruited eight gangs in the rivers and lakes, but they are all small sects, and it is difficult to become a climate. Here's the list, so please take a look at it. After speaking, he respectfully presented the list.
Childe is none other than Gong Qi, who was escorted back to the city by Bai Qianqian. At this moment, he was wearing a light purple robe, with a silver belt around his waist, a blue gem inlaid in the center of the belt, and a jade pendant with complex colors hanging from his waist on the left side, his long hair was tied high between the white jade hair crowns, and his body exuded a fierce momentum, which was very different from the stunned man a few days ago. He pointed to the invitation card on the inkstone in the corner of the table and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Mu Bai glanced at it, and immediately understood, I don't know which person who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, dared to pick up the invitation he threw away and present it to Childe, "Childe forgive me, Mu Bai will throw away the invitation." "Childe once instructed not to participate in any banquets and not to have too much contact with any outsiders. The predicament faced by Childe is clear to him, and he can't tolerate the slightest mistake.
Gong Qi's eyes sank, "From now on, the Bai family's post will stay." ”
"But Childe-" Mu Bai paused and continued, "Recently, our people have discovered that there are many outsiders pouring into Liyue City, and they speak with different accents, and they don't know where they come from. "Although I don't know the purpose of those people, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
Gong Qi nodded, "Secretly send more people to find out the whereabouts of those people." If he sent them, according to the old rules, not one of them should be left, and all of them would be killed. You must do this yourself, and don't leak the slightest rumor. ”
"Yes." Mu Bai replied.
At this moment, the four courtyards in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the Bai family compound were all in a lively scene. In the East Garden, there lived Bai Changqing and his wife, as well as Mrs. Bai. Old Madam Bai changed into a purple dark flower trimmed dress, her gray hair bun was full of gold and silver beads, and she held a jade ruyi in her hand, and sent someone to call Ge Shi and asked, "Look, what else do you need to wear?" ”
Ge's face was red and swollen, and he was still a little strange after smearing a few layers of fat powder, and his mood was just low, but in the way of the old lady's face, he had to beat his spirit and praise him, "Mother, you look like a person from Liyue City, and you are clearly an old lady from an official family in Shengjing." Of course, this is not true. The old lady had a hard time when she was young, and later Bai Changqing made a fortune, and she also lived a good life, and tried her best to wear gold and silver jewelry on her body, showing the wealth and invincibility of the Bai family. But the more this is the case, the more self-defeating.
Nanyuan lives two sisters, the White Demon Demon and Bai Raorao, which has also become the reason for Ge's self-proclaimed appearance. Bai Qianqian lives alone in the spacious West Garden, while her daughters are crowded in the South Garden. As everyone knows, although the West Garden is large, it is the most simple and dilapidated, the furniture is all discarded, and the decoration of the South Garden is extremely exquisite, when Ge was still an aunt, he lived in the South Garden. Bai Changqing spoiled her excessively, and her food and clothing were the best, completely compared to Shangguan's. At first, Ge was worried that Shangguan would be angry, but later found out that Shangguan was cowardly and incompetent, so he became at ease. Later, Shangguan died of illness, and she was promoted to the wife of the Bai family and moved into Dongyuan.
"Eldest sister, will Lord Helan come today?" Bai Rao's face was full of anticipation. Today, she specially changed into a pink Guangyun sleeve long skirt, combed a girlish spirit snake bun, and a white jade peacock hairpin was inserted in the bun, which was indescribably lively and smart.
These days, she has inquired about Lord Helan's every move through various channels. Yesterday, I got the news that Bian Lianxin, the daughter of the Bian family in the wine shop, was dressed very solemnly and went to hook up with Lord Helan, but she finally ran into someone, but the other party didn't look at her at all. Bai Raorao is such a transparent person, I guessed the reason when I heard it, Lord Helan likes pink girls, not dignified young women.
The white demon smiled gently, moved lightly, came to Bai Raorao's side, helped her cut her hair, and said, "My sister likes Lord Helan so much?" "Bai Raorao is young and ignorant, but she is a white demon who understands, Lord Helan is an official, no matter how rich they are, they are the people after all, how can Lord Helan be so easy to catch up?
The white demon is used to liking pear blossom white plain long skirts, and the hairstyle is very simple with sideburns, and a begonia is inserted at random in the bun. But the more simple and casual, the more ethereal it is. is very different from Bai Rao's liveliness, the white demon has a quiet personality, and he cultivates piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the day, which can be called a talent and appearance. Bai Changqing sighed more than once, if the white demon was born in the powerful family of Shengjing, he would be able to enter the palace as a concubine.
"Of course I like it, Lord Helan is the best man in Liyue City." Bai Raorao made no secret of it. After that, I remembered something again, "Eldest sister, why did you say that grandmother was picking up the wind and washing the dust for that ugly monster?" She looks so ugly, I don't know how many people will ridicule her. ”
The white demon smiled, "She is your second sister, how can you say such a thing." If you let others listen, you will only say that sister, you don't understand the dignity of the elders and the young, and you will ruin your reputation. Why do you want to be like this to Bai Qianqian, she naturally knows in her heart, but she can't say it, her sister is straightforward, if she knows the reason, she doesn't know what kind of trouble will happen.
"Alright, alright, got it. Let's go, the dinner is about to begin. Bai Raorao affectionately took the hand of the white demon and walked towards the guest hall. In the center of the living room, a vermilion printed carpet is laid out, and on the left and right sides are mahogany square tables with various colors of new fruits and desserts. At the head of the guest hall, there are the old lady of the Bai family and Bai Changqing and his wife, and the guests have come and gone, all of them are some businesses who come and go on weekdays, and everyone is talking and laughing.
Seeing the two sisters of the White Demon Demon and Bai Raorao entering the guest hall, everyone's eyes focused on the two golden flowers of the Bai family, and secretly sighed that other people's daughters were like flowers and jade, but their own daughters were mediocre.
"Madame Bai is really blessed to raise such a pair of fairy-like daughters." Mrs. Wu, a rouge merchant, spoke.
Mrs. Chen, the proprietress of the embroidery room, continued, "Of course, I don't see whose daughter it is." Mrs. Bai is a beauty in the nest of beauties, can her daughter not be beautiful? ”
"I heard that the second miss of the Bai family is extremely ugly, but today I want to see what she looks like when she is born." "Yes, these two young ladies are not from Madame Bai." "The biological mother of these two young ladies is not ugly, how can she give birth to an ugly daughter?" "People have been dead for more than ten years, how do you know if you are not ugly, none of us have ever seen that woman, maybe she is also ugly." …… Someone whispered about the second lady of the Bai family, Bai Qianqian.
