After sending Bai Pin away, Jiang Yi entered the study again.

"Second master, tomorrow is the old lady's birthday banquet, there must be a lot of people coming and going in Jinling City by then, will someone take the opportunity to make trouble?"

Gu Yuan looked out the window, "It's better this way, you always have to give the other party a chance to let the other party show their feet." I can't wait any longer. ”

Jiang Yi understood the master's feelings, since he knew that the second lady had returned, the second master often stared out of the window in a daze, and the direction of the window was the direction of Confucius.

"Let people stare at the county lord's side." Gu Yuan turned around and returned to his usual cold look, "In the past few days, the people she sent to Confucius Mansion to explore the way have all gone and never returned, and she will not let go of the opportunity of this banquet, and she will also take this opportunity to see how many groups of people are in the dark." ”

Jiang Yi replied, "Second master, don't worry, I have already arranged the people." ”

Gu Yuan has always been at ease with Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi saw that the second master was silent, and opened his mouth, "Second master, you were not wrong back then, but you were too cunning over there, otherwise the second lady would not have been taken to you." ”

In the past few years, he has been by the side of the second master, but he has been watching the second master come over in self-blame, and it is always distressing to watch.

Gu Yuan lowered his head, so that people couldn't see his expression, "I'm fine, let's go out." ”

In the cold and unchanging voice, there is a loss that can be touched.

Jiang Yi couldn't, so he could only retreat.

While blaming himself, the second master was jealous that the second lady had been with Jia Chengzhou for many years, and now he could only watch secretly with the second lady, which was just torturing himself.

The county lord of Nanyang sent people who retreated, leaving only the girl who was close to him, and then said lightly, "Are you back?" ”

"I went to four groups of people, but they didn't come back, and the news didn't come back."

"Then you don't have to wait, the second master's means, he can't find out any news about me, but it's certain that the person is back." The look on the face of the lord of Nanyang County was faint, "You said that the portrait of the lady you met on the street that day is not like the person in the painting?" ”

"It looks a little similar."

The county lord of Nanyang smiled, "Yes, it's just like." Can the people over there be arranged tomorrow? ”

"Master, don't worry, both sides have been arranged, and you will definitely be able to enter the mansion this time."

The county lord of Nanyang nodded with satisfaction, "Xu Lingyou is indeed alive, I am just helping him and letting him meet his son, and now he has only such a relative in this world." There are remnants of the traitorous party first, and no matter how iron the wall of the Confucian Mansion is, it can expose a hole to me. ”

The subordinate did not answer.

The next day, Mrs. Gu's birthday banquet, Gu's mansion became lively.

The family got together early in the courtyard of Mrs. Gu for breakfast, Gu Yuan called Gu Tingzhi to the front to receive the male guests, and the county lord of Nanyang and Shu Mi received the female dependents.

The Jiang family sat quietly beside the old lady Gu, and when the lady came, she smiled and didn't say much, and all the families knew that the Jiang family in the Gu Mansion didn't like to talk, so they didn't come forward to disturb them.

There are more and more guests in the house, and in the Ruyi Pavilion outside, Bai Jianxi got out of the carriage with an unhappy face, and behind her was Bai Pin, who accompanied her, and the two sisters and brothers entered the Ruyi Pavilion and went directly to the second floor to find a private room to sit down.

Brother Bao grew up by Bai Jianxi's side, timid and temperamental, rarely went out of the house since he was a child, and was always afraid of seeing people.

Bai Pin looked at the frowns and kept twisting, there were people in the carriage who didn't say much, and when they arrived in the private room, there were only two sisters and brothers, so they persuaded, "Brother Bao is not young anymore, don't always reprimand him, look at these four-year-old children, they are afraid to see people wherever they see, what should they do when they grow up?" ”

Bai Jianxi didn't take these words to heart at all, "He himself is so virtuous, what does it have to do with me?" He was glad that he was with me, and if he had returned to Xu's house, he would have been killed a long time ago. ”

Bai Pin looked at Brother Bao, who was secretly hiding his fear on the side, and turned his head sympathetically, "No one forced you to give birth at the beginning, you had to give birth yourself, and you have to be responsible for the child if you want to give birth, the non-troublesome Guo Mansion is not peaceful, and now the Bai family has lost face, and now that the child is born, you don't treat it well, what do you think?" You told you that if you want to stay in Baifu in the future, you should be kind to Brother Bao, and if you want to treat him badly, then go to Zhuangzi, as long as I can't see it. ”

Bai Jianxi smiled and said in a light tone, "You have grown up, and now you know how to teach your sister a lesson." ”

"Sister? If you really think of yourself as a growing sister, you will do these things? ”

"Who hasn't been young yet." Bai Jianxi waved his hand irritably, "Okay, say that my head is the Tao, what about you and Sister Yan?" I can't see it, but you husband and wife are not close. ”

"Shirama." Bai Pin was.

Bai Jian smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it." You haven't lied since you were a child, and this looks like I'm the main thing. ”

Bai Pin turned his head and calmed down his emotions, "You take Brother Bao to stay here, I'll go and have a look." ”

Bai Jianxi snorted, Bai Pin didn't want to hear her say more, and strode out of the house, even going downstairs directly.

Upstairs, Xiao Er entered the house with tea, but Bai Jian didn't reply, "Put it down." ”

Xiao Er put down the tea, but he didn't move, Bai Jianxi twisted his head, only to find that it was not Xiao Er standing behind him, but Xu Lingyou.

"You can scream." Xu Lingyou had already hugged Brother Bao into his arms, his voice was low, but it was threatening.

"That's your son." Even though Bai Jianxi usually abuses Brother Bao, he still cares in his heart, and his face changed on the spot.

Xu Lingyou didn't raise his head, just looked at Brother Bao in his arms, "Bai Jianxi, how can you raise my son to be so virtuous?" There is no appearance of the heir of the Xu family at all. With him by your side, how can I be reassured? ”

"What are you going to do?" Bai Jianxi didn't dare to shout, she was afraid that a poor person like Xu Lingyou could do anything.

"What are you not doing? What else can I do as a person who is on the run? Your child is safe when you're around you, and they can grow up healthy. Xu Lingyou took out a piece of jade from his neck and hung it on the neck of Brother Bao, who was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe, "This is what our Xu family has passed down from generation to generation." ”

At this time, Xu Lingyou raised his head, "Back then, it was our Xu family who was sorry for you, and today I apologize to you, thank you for leaving your blood for the Xu family in the world." ”

Bai Jianxi was stunned, she didn't think that Xu Lingyou would apologize, and then laughed mockingly, "Is it useful to apologize now?" Do you really think I'm a fool? I have long seen that your Xu Mansion and the Cheng family are going to marry, if I don't come out of your Xu Mansion, I'm afraid I will die a long time ago. ”
