In November, the capital enters early winter from late autumn, and the weather is especially cold these days. The doors and windows of Qingyun Pavilion are closed, Bai Muguan is reluctant to get up early after the weather is cold, who doesn't want to sleep in the warm and comfortable bed? She's no exception.

"Miss, today, the eldest master's family enters Beijing, you have to show up." Xiangyun's voice sounded, this news was not wonderful for Bai Muguan.

Although she knew that they were coming, she was still in a complicated mood.

The soft bed curtain rolled up, Bai Muguan sat up straight, pouted and said, "Okay, they are elders and come from afar, I should dress up and go to the ceremony." ”

She dressed up to greet her and look solemn.

Xiangyun instantly understood what she meant, and couldn't help but snicker.

"Also, the gifts I asked you to prepare, are they all ready?" Bai Muguan suddenly asked.

Xiangyun covered her mouth and smiled: "Miss, don't worry, everything is ready." ”

This time, Bai Zhanchun was promoted to the rank of Langzhong of the Sipin Household Department, dragged his family to the capital, and ordered someone to buy a house in advance. They are not qualified to live in the mansions near the palace, and the houses with slightly better locations are held in the hands of nobles and refuse to sell easily. He could only live in Xicheng and lean on those five or six officials.

The four-entry mansion is neither big nor small. Compared with officials at the same level in the DPRK and China, it is more than one grade worse.

Before noon, Bai Muguan, who was dressed up, took the carriage of the East Palace to the mansion bought by Bai Zhansong, and saw a huge plaque in front of him, with the words "White House" written in bold gold lettering. You don't have to guess to think that it must have been arranged by her aunt with the best face.

"Miss, I guess the lord and the lady will have a while before they arrive, why don't you go and sit in there first?" Xie Jiu, who stepped forward with a smile on his face, was Bai Zhansong's confidant, and he was offering his hospitality to Bai Muguan at the moment.

Bai Zhanzhun had official affairs to hand over before coming to Beijing to take office, so he ordered Xie Jiu to come to the capital in advance to clean up the house.

Bai Muguan glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Don't toss, I'll wait here for my uncle and aunt." ”

Bai Muguan is Bai Zhanyi's eldest daughter, but she ranks second among the sisters of the same generation in the Bai family, and there is a cousin above. Therefore, Xie Jiufang called her the eldest lady, which was actually inappropriate.

It was nothing more than tea, and several carriages stopped in front of the white house at the same time.

The two maids opened the car door and asked the master to get out of the car.

first Bai Zhanchun and the Jin family, then his daughter Bai Mingnuan and son Bai Qi, and finally Bai Chuan, the only son of the third room. It is said that there are few people in the third room, and Bai Zhanyu and his wife died of illness, leaving only an underage son to be raised in the long house. There is also Bai Zhansong's concubine and eldest son Bai Xiao, the concubine is not qualified to stand in front of people and enter the house through the side door, but Bai Xiao can stand next to his younger brother Bai Qi.

Bai Muguan held her head high and greeted her, and when her figure approached, she was stunned by Bai Zhanzhun and his wife.

This is his niece...... Bai Muguan?

I haven't seen it for several years, and for this wonderful niece, Bai Zhanchun is limited to hearing about it. I heard that she resembled her second brother Bai Zhanyi, I heard that she was named a female general, and I heard that she was favored by the prince to live in the East Palace......

The girl in front of her has a bright complexion, a smooth and delicate face that is white and red, eyes like apricots, and red lips. Wearing a full set of red gold ruby head jewelry, the soft fit of the crimson cloud brocade skirt glittered in the sun.

Bai Muguan is too dazzling.

This made Jin can't help but think of when he first met his mother Li Lan, who was also a woman, and was shocked by the other party's appearance and temperament. Therefore, the cautious Jin family tried every means to make things difficult for Li Lan.

"Niece Bai Muguan greets my uncle and aunt." She gently blessed herself and performed the junior salute.

Bai Zhanjun hurriedly came back to his senses: "Hurry up." The second brother is blessed, and his daughter is so outstanding, there is no need to ask the boy to dislike him. ”

Bai Muguan chuckled silently.

Although most people are patriarchal, she is no less confident than any man.

Jin Shi glanced at the children behind him, and said with a complicated expression: "Why don't you come over and see Mu Wan soon." ”

The little boy who took the lead was only twelve years old, and he said calmly: "Bai Chuan has seen Cousin Guan. ”

Bai Muguan knew that this was the only bloodline left by the third uncle.

Bai Chuan was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but he was still young but his demeanor was steady and calm, and I heard that he was very talented in reading and would become a great weapon in the future. Although the third uncle is not his grandfather's son-in-law, and Bai Chuan can only be regarded as a side branch, he is always connected to her.

"It turns out that you are Cousin Chuan." Bai Muguan glanced sideways and instructed Xiangyun, "Give the four treasures of the study to Cousin Chuan, and I wish you the title of the gold list as soon as possible." ”

Bai Chuan looked at the exquisite gift box held by Xiangyun, flattered but did not forget to look at Jin's expression, and when he saw that Jin was speechless, he dared to reach out and take it. These details were all seen by Bai Muguan.

At this time, Bai Qi and Bai Xiao, who were older than Bai Chuan, were still intoxicated by Bai Muguan's shocking appearance, and looked at her greedily, they had never seen such a beautiful fairy in their lives. It would be nice if she wasn't their cousin, maybe there would be a chance......

Bai Zhanzhun pointed to the girl who hung her head slightly behind the Jin family, and had a complicated feeling in her heart: "Mu Guan, this is your cousin Mingnuan." ”

In the past, he thought that his daughter was the reincarnation of a heavenly immortal, and she was so gentle and docile that she must have competed with his niece Bai Muguan, who was raised in the Mobei military camp. Unexpectedly, his daughter was pale in comparison today.

Bai Mingnuan Lian walked over and called softly, "Hello cousin Guan." ”

Bai Muwan smiled and nodded in response, "Cousin Nuan".

The two of them are of the same age and similar size.

In terms of appearance alone, each has its own merits, his eyes are like autumn water, and Bai Mingnuan, who has fair skin and a slender body, is not much worse than Bai Muguan. But for some reason, as soon as she saw Bai Muguan, she felt that she was not as cowardly as the other party.

Maybe it's because the beads on her head are too dazzling, or maybe the scarlet dress she wears is too gorgeous, and her stunning appearance is noble and moving.

Such a cousin really made Bai Mingnuan sigh to himself.

"What I prepared for Cousin Nuan was a coral hosta as a gift." As he spoke, Bai Muguan glanced at Bilong.

In the box of Su Jin, there is a lotus hosta that is as transparent as water, and the center of the hairpin is inlaid with luxurious red coral.

Bai Zhanjun's official position is not high, and the Bai family's family assets are not very rich, Bai Mingnuan has never worn such a beautiful and expensive hairpin when he is so old. Besides, Bai Muguan has excellent vision, and the hairpin she chose is very suitable for her temperament.

At this moment, Bai Mingnuan really thanked his cousin in his heart. After thanking, I was a little envious and jealous. The second uncle rose all the way to the general of Mobei by virtue of his military exploits, and married the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, these things are at Bai Muguan's fingertips.

If Bai Mingnuan still has gratitude, the sullen Jin is only an eyesore.

This Bai Muguan doesn't look like Li Lan, but he acts the same. I think that the day after Li Lan got married, she also ordered the maid to move out a bunch of good things and give this and that. Li Lan didn't mean to show off, she just wanted to please her mother-in-law's family and integrate into the Bai family as soon as possible, but she didn't expect it to backfire and make the Jin family very unhappy.

"Cousin Qi, this is a unique set of ancient books, which was given by His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have not been able to read it thoroughly, so I will give it to you today." Bai Muguan ignored the Jin family's displeasure and said loudly.

Bai Qi is the son of the Jin family, seventeen years old, tall and handsome, when he reached the age when he should say his relatives, but he didn't take the exam last year. He was not a student of reading, but he was forced by his father and mother, and he had to follow. Rare books are very hard to find outside, and they are as precious as gold. It's a pity that he doesn't like to read, and getting this set of unique books can only be regarded as a forced smile.

Although Bai Xiao is a concubine, he is also an upright man of the Bai family, and Bai Muguan will not favor one over the other. It was also given to him the Four Treasures of the Study.

The peers each received their gifts, and the group finally entered the house.

Bai Zhansong regretted not preparing a meeting gift for his niece, but unexpectedly, Bai Muguan, who was generous, still had a major event.

"Auntie," Bai Muwanqiao smiled like a flower, "This golden hairpin is beautifully made, but it is too rich, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that I am not suitable to wear it when I am young, and you are just right to wear it at the right age." ”

This is the second time she has mentioned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and the undisguised shyness in her eyes is even more enviable.

But Kim really wants to vomit blood, what does it mean that she is just the right age? Is she old?

Sure enough, the golden hairpin presented by Xiangyun was very suitable for the old woman to wear.

This golden hairpin is carved into Fulu Suxi, meaning longevity, and the tail of the hairpin is inlaid with a huge night pearl. The Night Pearl is a rare treasure in the world, and few people are extravagant enough to use it for inlay jewelry. It is said that this golden hairpin is still the private room of the old lady of Rongguo, because it is gorgeous and precious, so it is given to Bai Muguan to enjoy. At Kim's age, it is indeed not suitable to wear this style of gold hairpin.

Jin stared at Bai Muguan with a strange face, and it was inconvenient to be angry and make a face, so he could only say with a smile: "Muguan is really filial, and he still wants to prepare a gift for me." I appreciate your kindness. ”

"If you like it, auntie might as well wear it and try it." Bai Muguan is well versed in the way that anger and death do not pay for life.

Jin's face became more and more indescribable, if she didn't wear it at this time, wouldn't she not receive the kindness of her juniors? If she wears it according to her words, she seems to have never seen the world, and her eyelids are shallow and greedy for money.

Under the dilemma, Bai Zhanchun spoke: "You are also a person who is about to become a mother-in-law, and this golden hairpin is quite suitable for you." ”

Kim almost rolled his eyes and fainted. That's right, her children are about to start a family, but she is only in her forties, how can she be an old lady in the eyes of her husband?

Bai Muguan gave Bi Long a look, and Bi Long hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and served the Jin family to put on the golden hairpin. The Kim family is not a top beauty, the round-faced willow eyebrows were not bad when they were young, but now they have no charm when they are old. It is said that she is born from the heart, she is narrow-minded, and her aging facial features seem a little mean. With her temperament, she is really not suitable for this golden hairpin, and she feels a little stolen, which looks very funny.

"The eldest aunt was born rich and dignified, and she is worthy of this golden hairpin, it seems that my vision is not bad." Bai Muguan opened his eyes and said nonsense, but he still looked serious.

After she finished speaking, Bi Long held a mirror and put it in front of Jin's and asked her to take a look at herself.

Jin forcibly suppressed his annoyance, and pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty: "Mu Wan is right, I also think it looks good." ”

If it weren't for Bai Muguan's request for entering Beijing this time, the Jin family would have been polite a long time ago. A mere junior dared to slap her in the face so blatantly! Back then, her mother, Li Lan, didn't dare.

Bai Muguan let go of the Jin family for the time being, turned his head and smiled at Bai Zhanzhu, who was in a trance: "Uncle, you have worked hard all the way, Xie Jiu has already prepared lunch, and I will be cheeky to stay and wash the dust for you." ”

Bai Zhanchun looked at his energetic niece, his heart surged with thousands of emotions, and he said after a long time as if he had just woken up from a dream: "You are my niece, I am really happy to see each other again in a few years." Today, you accompany your uncle and don't get drunk and don't return. ”

Don't get drunk and don't go home?

Could it be that Bai Zhanchun subconsciously treats her as a man? After all, it's normal for uncles and nephews not to get drunk and not go home, but if they are with nieces......

Bai Muguan smiled faintly: "Okay." ”
