The next day, Bai Muguan got up in the morning for breakfast, and when he saw the osmanthus cake and rose cake on the table, his heart swelled with warmth.

When she left the Bai family's mansion yesterday, Bai Chuan quietly stopped her, stuffed the two wrapped dim sum into her hands, and said with a smile: "Cousin Guan, this is the best dim sum I have ever tasted in the capital." You're usually quite busy, and you definitely don't have time to go to the streets to find out, so I specially left it for you, you can try it. ”

Girls like to eat sweet and delicious snacks, and Bai Muguan is no exception. Among the pastries, she loves pear blossom crisp the most, but it is already winter, except for the imperial dining room and the East Palace, there is basically no pear blossom crisp. She had heard of a few shops outside that were good at making dim sum, among which Fanyuan's osmanthus cake and rose cake were indeed famous, but she didn't have a chance to try them. Shirakawa bought it for her intimately, and she was naturally moved.

Xiangyun also smiled and sighed beside him: "The third son's heart towards Miss is quite like a sister and brother. ”

Bai Muguan nodded: "Yes, the courtesy is light and affectionate, it's hard for him to think of me." ”

"Then Miss try it, is it delicious?" Looking at Xiangyun's stunned appearance, Bai Muguan knew that her gluttonous worm had crawled out.

Ignoring her for the time being, Bai Muguan picked it up and tasted it, which was really good. Made of glutinous rice, sugar and osmanthus nectar, the crystal clear osmanthus cake is delicate and soft in the mouth, and the richness of the osmanthus leaves a fragrance on the mouth. Then try the round rose shortbread, the soft oil cake mixed with the fragrant roses, it is simply a delicacy in the world.

Bai Muguan, who had tasted a piece of each, clapped his hands, very satisfied, and then finally satisfied Xiangyun, who couldn't wait.

Bai Muguan squinted at Xiangyun, who looked indecent and devoured, and reminded softly: "Don't patronize and eat, remember to leave two pieces for Bilong." ”

"Yes Miss."

As the saying goes, if there is a master, there must be a servant, and Xiangyun is also very greedy.

As he was talking, he saw Bi Long coming in from outside, frowning and saying, "Miss, Shangguan Gongzi came to visit, and His Royal Highness saw him in the study." ”

This Shangguan son undoubtedly refers to Shangguan Yi, the eldest son of the prime minister of Shangguan, and others are not qualified to come to the door at will.

"You don't have to be nervous, Shangguan Yi doesn't dare to ask the teacher for guilt." Saying that, Bai Muguan laughed.

Gao Yue's movements were extremely fast, and yesterday evening, many people "accidentally" heard about the secrets of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the teahouse, wine shop, and even Goolan Washe. For example, why did the second son, Shangguan Rui, marry early, and the reason why his wife Xu has never shown her face in front of people after marriage. Another example is that the Xu family often roars in Hedong, Fuli, fights with the delicate sister-in-law Shangguan Xiyue, and is even scratched by Shangguan Xiyue! There are even appalling rumors, saying that last year, Xu's accidentally miscarriage had nothing to do with Shangguan Xiyue.

All of the above, with noses and eyes, has been quite lively this morning.

Of course, this time Gao Yue did not expose himself stupidly, but tried his best to destroy Shangguan Xiyue's reputation in the name of the people around the Xu family, and then used Shangguan Xiyue's name to shake off a few evil deeds about the Xu family. Gao Yue has been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for ten years, and he knows a lot of inside information, seven points of truth and three points of falsehood, and it is credible to say it.

Xiangyun snorted in relief, clapping his hands and applauding: "Miss, I guess no one will hold on to the second son of Bai anymore at this time." ”

Indeed, the most clever way to dilute the gossip is to have a more striking piece of news.

Bi Long's brows did not stretch, and she asked worriedly, "Miss, what are you going to do with Gao Yue?" ”

After all, Gao Yue is the old man of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is now obeying Bai Muguan's orders because he is afraid of death in his heart. But such a person himself is unreliable, and if he turns against him or bites back one day, he will only cause a lot of trouble.

"Xiangyun, you will find two people to escort Gao Yue to the Rongguo Mansion later, and I will write a letter, and you will hand it over to your grandmother." Obviously, Bai Muguan had already figured out how to properly dispose of Gao Yue.

He did a good job in this matter, and he didn't dare to play any tricks, she would keep her promise and not blame the past. However, it is not safe for Gao Yue to stay by her side, he is good at taking care of general affairs and has rich experience, so it is better to send him to the Rongguo Mansion and ask the old lady Jiang to find a remote grange for him to take care of.

Although Bai Muguan didn't say anything, Xiangyun could vaguely guess a few points, so he didn't ask much.

The worry in Bi Long's eyes could not be dissipated, and after holding it for a long time, he still couldn't help asking: "Miss, are you really not afraid of offending the Prime Minister Shangguan?" ”

Once a prime minister, his status was more respected than the six Shangshu, and he had a certain influence on the court and even the Son of Heaven. Bai Muguan offended him, and it was useless.

"Bilong, I won't take the initiative to cause trouble, but I can't bear to be provoked and bullied, and I don't want to swallow my anger to be honest! Blindly tolerating will only make people feel weak and bullied, and they will double down on you next time. The timely counterattack is to protect their own interests. As she spoke, she subconsciously raised her chin, and a proud light burst from her eyes.

If you want to be humble or arrogant, you also need a strong confidence, and she Bai Muguan has this confidence.

Bi Long lowered her eyes and smiled when she heard this: "Miss is right, the slave maid has been taught." ”

I heard Bai Muguan sigh softly: "I know that you think about me and don't want me to be sharp, but I hate Shangguan Xiyue for being too arrogant and have nothing to do, I have to teach her a lesson." ”

Bi Long nodded silently.

After breakfast, a few other maids came in to clean up. Bai Muguan went straight to the table, grinded the pen, and quickly finished writing after a little thought. Mandang wrote two pieces of letterhead, explained the cause and effect, and then sealed it and handed it to Xiangyun.

Xiangyun didn't delay, and walked away neatly.

Bai Muguan took the book and flipped through it at random, Bi Long accompanied him, and suddenly opened his mouth: "Miss, in ten days it will be your birthday, and it will be a woman's adulthood, but it's a big deal." ”

"Yes, it's a pity that my father and mother are not with me, otherwise they would have celebrated my birthday." After all, she inevitably showed a hint of loss and gloom.

After leaving Mobei for so long, how could she miss home? Don't miss her father and mother? It's a pity that she can't reunite with them for the time being, and it's useless to think about it.

Bi Long saw through the sentimentality in her young lady's eyes, and couldn't help but comfort her softly: "Miss, the slave remembers that you haven't written a letter to the general and his wife for a long time, and you have nothing to do at this time, so you might as well write a letter." ”

Bai Muguan wrote a letter to Bai Zhanyi every ten days, describing the events that happened in the capital, sometimes involving the movements of hundreds of officials. The father and daughter had a secret letter, and even her mother Li Lan had no way of knowing. There are battles in Mobei from time to time, and Bai Zhanyi is busy with everything, and the number and time of replies are uncertain.

"I haven't written to my mother for more than a month, and I do have something I want to tell her, so you should step back first."

Before Bilong had time to leave, the little nobleman walked in first and blessed himself: "Your Highness invites Miss Bai to the study." ”

Bai Muguan was stunned, and said casually: "I heard that Shangguan Gongzi is here, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to go at this time." ”

Xiao Guizi hurriedly explained: "Miss Bai misunderstood, Shangguan Gongzi spoke earnestly, begging His Highness to see you. His Royal Highness was helpless and allowed him. ”

Shangguan Yi actually took the initiative to ask to see her? What does he want to do? Interrogated her in front of Yu Wenye?

This thought flashed and was quickly denied by Bai Muguan. On that day, she had a relationship with Shangguan Yi in the Wei State Mansion, and that polite, humble and elegant young man would not be as reckless and absurd as Shangguan Xiyue. Besides, he has no evidence, how dare he accuse her of being red in front of Yu Wenye?

After thinking about it quickly, the girl settled down and raised the corners of her mouth: "Your father-in-law will wait for a while, I will change my clothes and makeup first, so as not to snub the distinguished guests." ”

"The slave is not in a hurry, Miss Bai slowly freshens up and dresses up." Xiao Guizi is the one who serves Yu Wenye closely, and he knows the weight of Bai Muguan in Yu Wenye's heart, and he has always respected her a little.

Seeing this, Bilong didn't have to retire, and accompanied Bai Muguan to the inner room to change clothes.
