Lu Shi said nonchalantly: "Just the two of us, what's so scary, Mama is too much of a fuss, let's go and tell the old lady what I mean, I guess she won't refuse!" ”

Mama Du had no choice but to respond, and the two cleaned up and walked to Tangli Garden.

Immediately, Ninghou Mansion began to get busy again, and if he wanted to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, he naturally couldn't do it hastily, so after the post was sent, Baifu fell into a joyful busyness.

Even the beams and pillars have been carefully repainted, and many new furnishings have been added, and the old lady's Tang Liyuan has been completely renewed, and she has been happy to keep her mouth shut.

Tourmaline and Ziyu accompanied the old lady to inspect the White Mansion, and the old lady was in a very good mood, smiling when she saw everything. Even when the servants greeted her, she was much kinder than usual.

Ziyu joked: "Old lady, Master Hou is really filial to you, for your birthday, you have wasted a lot of effort!" ”

"Huh...... Where, it's just that it's time for us to add some joy to our house and go to bad luck! He just borrowed my birthday to make the house more lively! The old lady said with a smile.

Tourmaline also said: "The second master will also arrive in Beijing in the near future, and the family will finally be reunited, the old lady, this birthday, it should be a big deal, the second master has not returned to Beijing for several years!" ”

Old Madam Bai nodded and said, "Yes...... Ay...... When I get older, I look forward to a full house of children and grandchildren and a family together, but this family is ...... Don't say it, don't say it, I hope they are all well! ”

Tourmaline's eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Why is the old lady still sad, she should be happy, this time the second master returns to Beijing, maybe he will stay in Beijing to serve, our house has not been so lively for a long time!" ”

"yes, it's time for a good time!" What Mrs. Bai said has a deep meaning.

Half a month later, Bai Yaozu, the second eldest member of the Bai family, returned to the capital with a family, large and small, and the mother and son naturally complained heartily when they met, and shed a few tears before they left.

Bai Gaoxuan has been gone for more than a year, but he has grown a lot taller, as soon as Bai Shizu saw this precious son, he immediately couldn't help himself, and quickly pulled him to sit down, and asked for warmth, but Bai Gaoxuan was indifferent to him, and he was not very eager.

Lu Shi saw that Bai Shizu was so thoughtful to Bai Gaoxuan, but his son looked stunned, and he was both comforted and anxious in his heart, for fear that his son's attitude would anger Bai Shizu, but it was really difficult to remind him in front of everyone.

Bai Yunxi and Feng Zihan have been in a much better mood since they fought hotly, and they either went to meet their lovers or hid in their yards every day, not knowing what to do, but they were much more peaceful than in the past.

A room full of people was lively, and they heard the announcement of Ziyu outside: "The county lord of Anping has arrived!" ”

A room full of old and young people immediately extinguished the laughter, and the old lady Bai said with a faint expression: "Please come in!" ”

Seeing the old lady's appearance, Bai Yaozu also had a general understanding, but said with a smile: "Mother, now that Jin'er is out of breath, when she comes in later, do we still have to kneel down for her?" ”

"Hmph, what do you kneel, even if she flies into the sky, she is also my daughter and a junior, don't pay attention to her!" Bai Shizu said with displeasure on his face.

When Bai Yaozu saw his brother's appearance, a trace of unknown light flashed in his eyes, and he laughed dryly twice, and said, "What the eldest brother said is extremely true!" ”

When Bai Mujin walked in, he saw the room full of bustling people, but he nodded with a soft smile on his face, and greeted Bai Yaozu: "Second uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have worked hard all the way, right?" ”

Bai Yaozu looked at the white hibiscus in front of him, and could hardly connect her with the timid and silent little girl in his memory, where was the white hibiscus when he left, the girl in front of him was radiant and moving, dressed in luxurious clothes, which made her already beautiful face even more noble and dusty.

Bai Yaozu sighed secretly in his heart, even if he saw Lu Wanqin, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, for the first time, he was not so amazing. Bai Mujin inherited most of Lu Wanqin's appearance, but it was a little more exquisite. But that all-round bearing, as soon as he stood in this room, made all the people become foils and eclipsed.

Bai Yaozu was stunned for a moment before replying: "The county lord has become almost unrecognizable to me......

Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled slightly and said, "Really? When the second uncle left, I was only eleven years old, and almost four years have passed, so naturally there are some changes! ”

Bai Yaozu said with a smile: "Well, the eighteenth change of the female university, the county lord is now more and more prominent, even compared with the royal princess, it is not too much, the sister-in-law has a spirit in the sky, she will definitely be gratified!" ”

Bai Mujin heard him mention Lu Wanqin, but he just smiled lightly and said, "Second Uncle praised it, sit down, I'm here, but I provoked everyone to stand up, isn't it a sin?" ”

Saying that, everyone sat down one after another, and Bai Mujin saw several children of Bai Yaozu's family looking at her timidly, as if they were very curious and shy. She still remembered these children, but their faces were blurred.

Bai Mujin looked at the children and said with a smile: "Yanran and Weiran? The younger ones are not Brother Jue, they are all so old, and the second uncle has added a few more concubines in the past two years, which is a good blessing! ”

Saying that, Bai Hibiscus beckoned to the mandarin duck, and the mandarin duck immediately took out a small purse, and Bai Hibiscus said with a smile: "Sister, there is nothing good, these things should be played with by you, come here!" ”

Several children still hesitated to glance at Bai Yaozu, and when they saw Bai Yaozu nodding, they stepped forward with cheers, Yanran and Weiran were three years younger than Bai Hibiscus, they were twin daughters, Viscount Bai was Bai Yaozu's sister-in-law, and Bai Zifan was the eldest son, and the other younger ones she really couldn't remember clearly, Bai Yaozu had many more children than Bai Shizu.

However, the purse is calculated according to the head, even Bai Gaoxuan has specially prepared one, which can't make people think that she is too hypocritical, how to do it in private, superficial work, she will never find fault with others.

The children took their purses, happily clutched them in their palms, thanked Bai Hibiscus, and returned to their mothers. Bai Mujian looked at Bai Gaoxuan and said, "Brother Xuan, my sister also prepared one for you, why don't you come and get it?" ”

Bai Gaoxuan glanced at Bai Hibiscus coldly, and said contemptuously: "I'm not rare with your things, less hypocritical benevolence and righteousness!" ”

One sentence made the scene very embarrassing, and everyone's eyes in the room were focused on Bai Hibiscus, and Bai Yaozu and they were even wondering if Bai Hibiscus would have a seizure on the spot and deal with Bai Gaoxuan.

But Bai Muhibiscus just smiled lightly and said very tolerantly: "Brother Xuan is still a child's temper, and he has been outside for more than a year, and he still hasn't grown up...... If you don't want it, don't want it! ”

Bai Gaoxuan looked at her with hatred and said, "Pretend, I want you to take care of me!" ”

Bai Muhibiscus looked at the room full of people just watching the show, and she didn't care, she didn't care about such a trick as Bai Gaoxuan. Now if she wants to make a move, she must want him to never turn over, instead of making a small fuss and competing with him for the length of the tongue to win or lose.

Bai Yunxi pulled Bai Gaoxuan, and said in a weird manner: "Brother Xuan, don't make trouble, people are now the lord of the county, if you annoy her, beware of being punished!" ”

Bai Gaoxuan glared at Bai Muhibiscus angrily, and said, "If she has the ability, she will kill me, otherwise I won't give her a good face, I don't care if she is the county lord or the princess!" ”

Bai Mujin smiled and said, "Brother Xuan, even if I am not the county lord, I am still your eldest sister, as a concubine, I am so disrespectful to my sister, father, don't you care?" Or does the Bai family now not need to be divided into concubines at all, and the order of the eldest and youngest? ”

Bai Shizu snorted and said: "Xuan'er is still young, the county lord should not worry about him in general, whether he cares or not, it is also my father's business, and the county lord does not have to worry about it!" ”

"That's right, in the end, in the future, this Bai family will also be in charge, a concubine like Brother Xuan will not succeed, and he will have to leave when he becomes a family, I really don't have to worry too much!" Bai Hibiscus said with a smile, but they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

Even Mu Xinping, who had been watching from the wall, changed slightly, let alone the others, Bai Gaoxuan was furious on the spot and shouted: "Don't call me one by one!" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled and asked, "Wouldn't it?" Brother Xuan hasn't heard of it yet? Your biological mother, Lu, has been demoted to a concubine, and the concubine is naturally a concubine, right, father? ”

Bai Shizu's face turned cold, and he roared angrily: "Bai Mujian, if you don't say a word or a half, will you suffocate to death, if you don't see us well, don't come here to add to the block, don't you know that we don't want to see you at all?" ”

Seeing that Bai Shizu had finally told the truth, Bai Mujin smiled with satisfaction and said, "Oh...... I really don't know, my father didn't tell me earlier, so I was amorous, and I went back to the house as a second uncle and aunt, I, as the niece of the eldest daughter, should come to visit, so I have fulfilled my filial piety and duty, it seems that ...... Oh no! ”

Bai Shizu was almost trembling by her attitude, and pointed at her and said, "You...... You...... This unscrupulous girl, get out of here, I don't want to see you! ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled lightly and said: "Why is my father so excited, I didn't come here to see you, I came to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the second uncle and second aunt, presumably the second uncle and second aunt will accompany the grandmother tonight, tomorrow Tianyi Pavilion, Jin'er is waiting for the second uncle and the second aunt and all the younger brothers and sisters, I hope the second uncle will appreciate the light!" ”

As he spoke, he took the post from the magpie and handed it to Bai Yaozu very politely, Bai Yaozu was glared at by Bai Shizu as if he was on pins and needles, but in the face of Bai Hibiscus, he still chose to take the post and said respectfully: "Thank you for the county lord's kindness, I will be respectful and obey my fate, and I will definitely go to the appointment on time tomorrow!" ”

Bai Mujin nodded with a smile and said, "Second uncle, then I'll see you tomorrow." You have also seen that this room is not very welcome, but I am not very welcome, I will not be bored, let's talk tomorrow, grandmother, father, mother, I will take my leave, do not disturb you to have a family together! ”
