Near evening, Bai Muguan returned to Qingyun Pavilion, and the waiter of the Ministry of Works had been waiting for Yu Wenye in the East Palace for a long time, and as soon as he came back, he hurried to the study.

Xiangyun greeted her, and saw Chunyue who was following Bai Muguan with low eyebrows and kind eyes, not only was she faced, but she was not wearing the clothes of a maid in the East Palace, and she couldn't help but ask: "Miss, who is she?" ”

"Her name is Chunyue, and she will be close to you in the future." After that, Bai Muguan turned his head to Chunyue and said softly, "You take care of the injury first, and I'll ask Bilong to get you some good injury medicine later, although it may not be able to leave no scars, it won't suppurate and worsen in the end." When you are well injured, you will enter the house to serve, and learn the rules of the East Palace first. ”

Chunyue's eyes were full of tears, and she knelt on her knees, so excited that she spoke incoherently: "Slave maid, but according to Miss Bai's orders." You are the great benefactor of the slave and the maid, you are the great grace to save the slave and the maid in the fire and water, and the slave and the maid will be regarded as a cow and a horse to repay the lady! ”

Bai Muguan sighed lightly, then stretched out his hand to pick her up, frowned slightly, and said: "Don't kneel down without moving in the future, I don't like these cumbersome and false courtesies, and I am not such a vicious and mean master, as long as you do things well and be loyal to me, there will definitely be a good life for you in the future." ”

"Yes, the slave has written it down." Chunyue stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, and she was still a little submissive in her low voice. Only she knows that when she followed Bai Muguan out of Chunxi Tower today, she secretly swore that she would only be loyal to Bai Muguan in this life.

Seeing that she was timid and afraid, Bai Muguan subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at the maids around him, and said in a soft tone: "From today on, you will follow me, forget the pickled things in the past, and you don't have to be afraid of everything in the future, and you can be safe and smooth and no one will be bullied." At the end, he glanced at Bilong.

Bi Long understood, smiled and took Chunyue's hand, opened her lips and said, "Miss, the slave maid will take Chunyue's sister down to pick up first." ”

"Let's go. In addition to Xiangyun, everyone else also retreated. After Bai Muguan finished giving the order, a room of maids all retired.

Staring at Chunyue's back for a long time before retracting her gaze, Bai Muguan hooked her lips and smiled, she also did a good deed today. At the same time, she knew that there would be no surprise, and she would have another cronie in the future. At this time, she didn't dare to imagine that this timid little maid would become her most powerful arm in the days to come, and even save her life. Of course, that's an afterthought.

Xiangyun walked over and took off the hairpin ring for Bai Muguan, and said softly: "Miss, there are two things today. ”

In the morning, Bai Muguan didn't bring any maids when he went out with Yu Wenye, and even Xiangyun and Bilong stayed behind to guard the courtyard.

The girl who took off her gorgeous dress sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked slightly tired, rubbed her eyebrows, and slowly spit out a word: "Speak." ”

"The Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion sent an invitation, and seven days later it was Mrs. Weiyuanhou's birthday, and invited all the ladies and ladies in the capital to go to the lively scene. The banquet is not located in the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, but in the Chunxi Building, which has been in the limelight recently, it is said that the Marquis of Weiyuan will charter the venue on that day. Xiangyun saw that her young lady's face was strange, and subconsciously asked, "Does Miss go?" ”

Bai Muguan shook his head: "I don't want to go, so I excuse myself." ”

Mrs. Weiyuan Hou is so exquisite, and she loves to be lively and has a wide range of friends, she has known it since she was a child. When the time comes, he is afraid that he will invite most of the nobles and wealthy families in the capital, Bai Muguan is tired of dealing with such a scene, not only has many etiquettes and rules, but also smiles until his face stiffens. It's a living sin!

What's more, on Chinese New Year's Eve, she once offended countless clan royalties and military generals who had been sealed for generations, and now she still avoided the limelight, so why bother to find herself bored in front of others. Moreover, after returning to Beijing, her cold attitude towards Yao Xilin was to deliberately draw a clear line. Whether it was meeting Yao Xilin in Empress Dowager Xiao's Ning'an Hall before, or Bai Mingnuan entering the palace to accept favor, it is enough to show that the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion is by no means idle. The Bai family is a loyal minister, and they must not be in the same league as it.

"Miss, there is another thing that Zhu Gongzi sent a letter." As he spoke, Xiangyun happily took out the envelope that he had placed close to him and handed it to Bai Muguan.

Bai Muguan took the envelope and was stunned, not in a hurry to open it, but anxiously asked: "Now that we live in the East Palace, it is inconvenient for the flying pigeons to send the message, how did this letter come in?" Did anyone who avoided His Highness not? ”

It is also said that she has a heart, she just thought about preparing to ask Zhu Yanqing to help today, and Jiang Nan sent a letter.

Xiangyun covered her mouth and chuckled: "Miss, don't worry, how can a cautious and cautious person like Zhu Gongzi make a big deal to trouble you." This was secretly sandwiched in the letter sent by the general from Mobei and sent in at noon. No outsider knows, and the slave and maid even hide it from Sister Bilong. ”

"It's so good, only you and I can know about it." Bai Muwan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then opened the envelope and took it out to read it carefully.

"Miss, what did Zhu Gongzi write?" Xiangyun blinked her clear eyes curiously, her pink face was delicate and delicate, and the little girl at the prime of life was as beautiful as a budding flower.

Bai Muguan finished putting the letter back into the envelope, raised his eyes to look at Xiangyun, who was in love with his sister, and couldn't help but hook his lips shallowly. Since she met by chance in Mobei two years ago, she knows that Xiangyun admires Zhu Yanqing in her heart. If there is an opportunity in the future, if Zhu Yanqing is also willing, she will find a way to fulfill Xiangyun.

"Brother Zhu is very concerned about me, and he is very worried that I am alone in the capital. April is His Majesty's draft, and this year Empress Kai'en allowed the daughter of Shang Jia to run, and he planned to personally escort his sister to Beijing to be selected. ”

Thinking of Zhu Yanqing's handsome face of Zhong Lingyu, Bai Muguan felt warm in his heart. Every time she saw him, she felt a sense of trust, even unspeakable dependence. Even if she told herself not to rely on him too much, he could only be regarded as her friend, not her family, and not the husband she was going to marry.

"Miss saved Zhu Gongzi's life, and Zhu Gongzi treats Miss really well." Xiangyun seemed to think of something, and suddenly became happy, "Zhu Gongzi escorted Miss Zhu into Beijing, so it means that we can reunite with him?" ”

Bai Muguan held his cheeks and looked at Xiangyun seriously, and deliberately smacked his lips and said, "Maybe we can meet each other." But I'm so excited to see you, haven't you seen you for more than half a year, you miss Zhu Gongzi very much? ”

"Miss!" was poked in the heart, and the lively Xiangyun was suddenly ashamed of herself. In her eyes, Zhu Yanqing is the most perfect person, better than all men in the world. But she is very self-aware, she is just a maid, and she is not worthy of the son of the Zhu family, who is known as the richest merchant in the Tianxi Dynasty, so she never dares to be delusional.

Bai Muguan no longer teased her, and instead said, "I'm hungry, you go and urge dinner." ”

took Xiangyun away, not only because she was hungry, but because she wanted to be alone for a while.

The day I first met Zhu Yanqing two years ago gradually came to mind, and my memory became clearer little by little.

In the autumn, Bai Muguan, who went out to hunt on horseback with his own soldiers, happened to bump into a caravan that was raided by mountain bandits, the mountain bandits were familiar with the terrain and there were many people, seeing that the caravan's guards were losing the wind and gradually losing their enemies, Bai Muguan led his own soldiers to save the caravan in one fell swoop. Not only did they keep their goods, but they also repelled the bandits and protected their safety. Later, she learned that what she saved was not an ordinary caravan, but the richest merchant of the Tianxi Dynasty from the south of the Yangtze River, the son of the Zhu family, who was rich in the world.

It was the first time that Zhu Yanqing led people to Mobei, not to do business at the border gates, but to send warm clothes and food to the soldiers stationed in Mobei all year round.

She asked him in confusion, since ancient times, the merchant has been invincible, why did he travel thousands of miles to do this loss-making business and almost lose his life? He only smiled lightly, and then said lightly that he admired General Mobei's soldiers like a god and was brave and good at fighting. The people of the same Tianxi Dynasty also sympathize with the hardships of the border soldiers and hope to do their part.

Later, her father Bai Zhanyi looked at Zhu Yanqing differently and treated him with courtesy. In the next two years, Zhu Yanqing would personally go to Mobei every few months, and the friendship between them gradually became close. Later, Bai Muguan changed his mouth to call him "Brother Zhu", and no longer called the polite and unfamiliar "Zhu Gongzi". Zhu Yanqing also took the opportunity to change his words, calling Bai Zhanyi and his wife uncles and aunts, rather than generals and wives.

Zhu Yanqing has always been responsive to her needs, and she is also a brother and a friend. However, she is naturally strong and proud, and there is a layer of diaphragm in her heart after all. After all, they are not real relatives, he has his own sister, and Bai Muguan also knows that he loves his sister Zhu Linyu so much. Thinking back to his care between the lines in the letter, his heart flashed in an instant, how lucky she would be if she could be Zhu Yanqing's sister......
