Since this day, Kim has stayed in the house to meditate and "recuperate", and there is a half-moon scene for a while. Bai Zhanchun went out early and returned late to be busy with the errands of the household, so he didn't have time to take care of her, and most of the time he stayed in the Yun family house when he returned home late at night. Bai Qi is not young and has already decided on family affairs, no matter how much he doesn't like to study, he has to review his homework, and strive to be promoted in the next year's examination. In addition to the maid who accompanies the Jin family every day, only his daughter Bai Mingnuan is left.

These days, Jin's mood is depressed, three meals a day as bitter as Coptis decoction does not leave her mouth, lying on the bed she has a yellowish complexion, weak qi, not sick but also angry and sick.

Bai Mingnuan couldn't bear to see his mother depressed and thin, so he had to persuade the Jin family in private: "Mother, you are the wife of the main house, the wife of your father, and Aunt Yun's housekeeper is only temporary, and when you recover from your illness, you will not have her proud days." ”

Jin coughed, shook his head and said, "A mere Yun clan can't turn up the wind and waves, I don't care about it yet." ”

Bai Zhansong handed over the right of the housekeeper to the Yun family, although she was unhappy, she was still secondary. The person who really made her unable to swallow and couldn't sleep at night was Bai Muguan. No one in the damn yellow-haired girl has sharp teeth, and she is actually angry with her like this, which is why the Yun family and son are cheaper.

Bai Mingnuan, as a daughter, of course knew her mother's thoughts, and broke it in one sentence: "Mother, you are an elder, why bother fighting with your cousin Guan?" ”

But he lost the fight, not only lost his identity as an elder, but also lost face, and finally considered himself unlucky.

"I just can't get used to seeing her like that, and the look in her eyes is the same as her own father!" The more Kim thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. couldn't help but secretly sigh that if Bai Muguan inherited a little bit of Li Lan's suppleness, she would be much easier.

Bai Mingnuan persuaded softly: "The second uncle has great achievements in war and is known as the god of war, if cousin Guan can be like the second uncle, it is also a good thing." What's more, she is the only daughter of the second uncle, and the second uncle is very spoiled by her, and her temperament is inevitably pampered and willful, but her nature should not be bad. ”

Although she couldn't get used to Bai Muguan's arrogance, she was even jealous of her arrogance, after all, she didn't have Bai Muguan's proud capital. But she won't be as happy as Kim, and she can hide her hidden thoughts deeply.

"Xiao Nuan," Jin took his daughter's hand and sighed, "Blame your father for not having the ability, otherwise with your talent, you still need her Bai Muguan if you want to pick a good family?" You are empathetic, beautiful and generous, not inferior to any noblewoman in the capital. ”

A burst of laughter suddenly sounded.

Then a familiar voice came: "Since the eldest aunt praised Cousin Nuan to the sky, why will she beg me in the future?" ”

When did Bai Muguan come?

Jin and Bai Mingnuan glanced at each other, and each flashed panic.

I saw the girl in scarlet clothes standing at the door, raising her chin slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked with a sarcastic arc.

"When did you come? Why didn't the maid pass on the report? Jin opened his mouth to ask, which was to blame her for not understanding the rules.

Who knew that Bai Muguan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I asked them not to disturb the eldest aunt and cousin Nuan to talk privately." ”

The old Jin family was thick-skinned, and Bai Mingnuan was already embarrassed to lower his head, and his pretty face was strangely hot.

Bai Muguan walked in leisurely, as if he was taking a leisurely walk in his own courtyard. In every gesture, grace and grace are scorching.

Bai Mingnuan secretly fantasized to herself, if they were in a different place and she became Bai Zhanyi's daughter, would she be able to have such a stunning spirit? And the love of the crown prince?

Thinking of the prince, she couldn't help but blush. That noble, handsome and graceful man, she really fell in love at first sight.

Suddenly, Bai Muguan's sharp and keen gaze swept towards her, as if he understood the desire in her heart.

Bai Mingnuan hurriedly smiled and covered it up: "Cousin Guan, my mother just complained casually during her illness, don't take it to heart." Mother is very pleased that you can come and visit today. ”

Heart? Is Kim worthy?

"Of course I don't take it to heart." Bai Muguan smiled amazingly, "In a few days, it will be my birthday, and His Royal Highness will celebrate my birthday." Cousin Nuan remembered to come to cheer. ”

She made her intentions very clear and invited Bai Mingnuan to attend her birthday. Didn't the Jin family want Bai Mingnuan to set foot in the East Palace and see the world? She happily accomplished it.

In other words, if she is not invited, it will not be beautiful to spread it. Maybe there are good people who take the opportunity to impeach their father and daughter for forgetting their roots, and the Bai family is not harmonious.

Thinking that maybe he could see Yu Wenye again, Bai Mingnuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, cousin Guan, I will definitely go to such a big event." ”

However, she was too happy, and soon heard Bai Muguan say: "Cousin Nuan is one year older than me, and you are not too young at your age in the capital." The eldest aunt should also worry about the family affairs of the cousin when she is free, and find her mother-in-law as soon as possible, so as not to delay the good years. ”

Bai Mingnuan's face flickered white and red, and soon his eyes flashed with water.

The Jin family, who was still excited about the sudden good thing, suddenly fell into the clouds, and Bai Muguan's implication was very clear, and he didn't want to count on her to pave the way for Bai Mingnuan. Bai Qi and Fang Shu are married, the lintel of the Yue family is far inferior to the Bai family, and it is Bai Mingnuan's turn to marry no matter what.

"You have some truth in saying it, I will consider it for Xiao Nuan. But you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, don't always talk about family affairs. Kim bred up in response, his words full of disdain.

Bai Muguan disagreed: "I'm also worried about Cousin Nuan, since the eldest aunt doesn't appreciate it, then I'll take the first step." ”

She had said that, and she had no interest in staying here and chewing with their mother and daughter.

As soon as I got out of the Kim family's house, I saw a little boy walking towards me, it was Shirakawa.

Previously, Bai Muguan helped him find the famous Egret Academy in the capital, where the masters were all contemporary famous Confucians and knowledgeable, and Bai Chuan was taught here, and he would be able to title the gold list after a few years of hard work.

Bai Muguan smiled and asked with concern, "Why didn't you go to the academy today?" ”

Shirakawa bit his lip and didn't say a word.

"What the hell is going on? Could it be that the eldest aunt is nitpicking and has nothing to do, so that you will be idle? ”

After she asked a series of words of concern, tears welled up in Bai Chuan's eyes, and he choked up and shouted, "Cousin Guan." ”

How long has it been since no one cared so much about him? The more Bai Chuan thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, knowing that the man would not flick if he had tears, he still couldn't stop crying.

Seeing that he was so sour, Bai Muguan stepped forward and hugged him into his arms. Shirakawa's whole body trembled, his hands clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, and he cried on her shoulder.

She gently patted Shirakawa on the back and didn't say anything. Soon, her shoulders were wet.

She was in a hurry that day, and she didn't have time to talk to Bai Chuan a few words, but since she saw something to say today, she had to say something.

"Alright, manly man, don't cry anymore." Bai Muguan whispered.

Bai Chuan immediately stopped crying, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and explained nervously: "I heard that Ajiang said that you were coming, so I hurriedly asked my master for leave and rushed back from the academy, but fortunately I didn't run slowly and caught up." ”

The girl smiled and asked him, "Do you have something to say to me?" ”

Bai Chuan nodded, and then asked rhetorically, "Cousin Guan, do you still have pain in your arm?" ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore." With that, Bai Muguan touched his head. I remember her in my heart, this is her relative.

Bai Chuan, who was touched by her, grinned, and carefully said what he had been thinking about for a long time: "I don't have a sister, and my father and mother have also passed away." In the future, if there is no one in private, can I call you sister? ”

In this world, except for the deceased father and mother, Bai Muguan is the most sincere to protect him, so he longs for their relationship to be closer, and longs for him to have a relative.

"I don't happen to have a brother either." Bai Muguan felt more and more pity for the little boy in front of him, and hurriedly promised him, "Of course you can." ”

Hearing this, Bai Chuan couldn't hide his joy on his face, and immediately shouted loudly: "Sister! ”

But the next moment, he was uneasy, the voice was so loud, would it be heard by the Jin family in the house? If the Kim family knew, I don't know how much trouble it would cause. Although his cousin Guan is not afraid of the Jin family, the younger generation is at a disadvantage to the elders after all, and he doesn't want her to bother.

"Xiaochuan, you don't have to be afraid of the eldest aunt, I know what she does to you behind her back. In the future, you will remember four words: peace and security. ”

Ignore any rumors and let them go. Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, no matter whether others deliberately flatter or treat each other coldly, you can be neither humble nor arrogant, the key is to rely on this ordinary heart.

Such calmness and detachment from things are by no means comparable to ordinary people.

"Here's for you." The girl took out a small scroll from her sleeve.

Bai Chuan took the scroll handed by Bai Muguan with both hands, and asked before he could open it: "Cousin Guan, what is this?" ”

Bai Muguan smiled and motioned for him to open it himself.

The scroll is a calligraphy master, from the hand of a famous calligrapher, on which there are four large characters in bold cursive, exactly: An Zhi Ruosu.

The little boy stared at these four words seriously for a long time, and Bai Muguan knew that there were not many truths that he could really understand at his age today. But giving him these four words is the only thing she can help him in the long run as a cousin. She believes that one day he will understand and practice it.

"The third uncle named you Sichuan before his death, just to hope that you can have the same tolerance and broad mind as all rivers." Bai Muguan's eyes looking at him were very soft and calm.

Shirakawa grew up under the pressure of the Kim family since he was a child, and even if he succeeds in the future, he may not be broad-minded. She didn't want him to resent Kim's unkindness to him, and then he would become twisted.

His bright eyes shone like stars, and he bowed his head in understanding: "I understand my sister's good intentions, and I will work hard." ”
