Chapter 13: Old Madame?

"Thank you, cousin, I just want to have fun too!" A bright smile appeared on her face, and the girl's agile aura was unobstructed.

Seeing Mu Wenqing's heart moved, he didn't expect Ye Yun to laugh so cutely, although Ye Yun is not as beautiful as Ye Xi, but her temperament is unmatched, when she walks, people feel like she is floating over.

"Good!" He was very happy that Ye Yun agreed to his invitation.

So Ye Yun followed him with the picture screen and walked towards the long room.

Mu Yancui was taken aback when she saw the two of them appear at the same time. Mu Wenqing was embarrassed to let others know that he specially went to Sanfang to go around, just to see Ye Yun, who couldn't come out and walk around, so he just met the two on the road, so he invited her to come here to play. When Mu Wenqing said this, he glanced at Ye Yun embarrassedly.

Ye Yun didn't notice it at all, and wondered in her heart if Bai Jian came over, would she have a way to get that pair of words back.

Since Mu Wenqing asked her to come over to play, Mu naturally didn't say anything, and while helping Mrs. Zhou prepare, she secretly thought about Ye Xi's affairs.

Mrs. Zhou guessed very accurately, and Bai Nut followed Mu Xu to Mu Mansion at three o'clock in Shen.

Mrs. Zhou is worthy of being a good hand at managing the family, from Bai Jian's entry into the mansion to the last sitting in the open hall of the flower hall to rest and enjoy the coolness, the house is orderly, no one dares to look around, and no curious children or subordinates quietly look. Bai Jian also felt the quiet and restrained atmosphere of the Mu Mansion.

The wrist of the housekeeper's wife can be seen.

"This is the first time I have come to Mu Mansion, and your mansion is calm, which shows that the family style is very good!" Bai Jian leaned on a rosewood round chair and smiled slightly, his eyes were like meteors, and his smile was gentle.

Mu Xu sat beside him, there was a sandalwood table between the two, Mu Xu's nephews and grandchildren were standing aside, he said with a smile: "Xie Ge Lao praises, he is serious in dealing with things, and he doesn't dare to slack off!" ”

"Haha, having a good wife in the family is a blessing for Lord Mu!" Bai Jian laughed loudly.

Mu Xu smiled modestly, but his wife Zhou did reassure him in this regard, although he was two circles older than Bai Jian and was about fifty years old, but in front of Bai Jian, he always felt that his momentum was shortened.

Bai Jian is young, he is an old man, he looks gentle, but in fact he is not easy to approach, and he is even more resolute in doing things, he has rectified the rule of officials over the years, and his wrists are very old and sharp, Mu Xuda is a little afraid of him in his heart.

But Bai Jian, a "good wife in the family", Mu Xu heard a few different meanings, and seemed to be a little lamented.

It seems that Bai Jian's passage today is not because of his Mu Xu.

"What my lord said is that marrying a wife should be a virtuous man, I heard that Mrs. Bai was very praised back then, but it's a pity that the immortal has passed away for many years!" Mu Xu touched his beard and sighed.

Bai Jian was slightly stunned, and secretly smiled, his casual words were actually misinterpreted. He raised his head slightly and stared at the bamboo outside the flower hall, holding the teacup in his hand, and stopped making a sound.

Mu Xu secretly froze, wondering if he had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed the topic and said something about the scenery in the courtyard.

Bai Jian put down the teacup at this time, and said with a side smile: "I heard that Ye Huai, the prefect of Yangzhou, is your nephew and son-in-law?" ”

Sure enough, it's for the Ye family!

Mu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "Exactly, my lord also knows that he is now stepping down from the prefect of Yangzhou and is handing over, waiting for the order!" ”

Bai Jian bowed his head and exhaled, "This is the negligence of our officials, it should have been decided a long time ago, but the Beijing officials have not been sure recently, Your Majesty has been thinking about the long term, and Cui Ge Lao wants to plan carefully, so he delayed it, and it is okay to simply enter Beijing." ”

Mu Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, Bai Jian's words were full of circumstance, quite a bit of maintenance, this Ye Huai was really lucky because of his daughter.

"What the elder said is that it is the time of the three-year examination, and it is common sense that it is difficult to decide, and the adults in the cabinet are thoughtful, and they should be!" Mu Xu hurriedly answered.

"Hmm." Bai Jian nodded lightly, and said with a casual smile, "But Ye Huai has raised a good daughter, and even Su Yun'er's poetry fans and chess games have been broken!" ”

Sure enough, it was for Ye Xi!

Mu Xu was secretly frightened, it seemed that his wife Zhou was right last night, Bai Jian could let Ye Xi sit on the table and save the meaning.

"Adults praise falsely, the little girl is a little mistaken!" Mu Xu humbly said,

Bai Jian's deep gaze swept towards him, and Mu Xu's forehead was sweating, Bai Jian's mind was hard to guess.

"It's not possible to hit by mistake, the first time you were lucky, and this second time you can be so lucky?" Bai Jian did not believe,

Mu Xu smiled, "It's strange to say that the lower officials actually have such an adventure." Mu Xu refers to Ye Xi's chance encounter with Old Man Lin to know about the breakthrough.

"Speaking of this, the official is still very curious, but I want to ask Miss Ye about the past, Miss Ye's chess skills must be outstanding, the official wants to learn from it, I wonder if Master Mu thinks it is abrupt?" Bai Jian smiled gracefully, word by word, and listened to Mu Xu's thoughts.

He wants to see Ye Xi, ask questions, and play chess with her!

At least in this way, Bai Jian really fell in love with Ye Xi, if Ye Xi could be appreciated by Bai Jian in the next questioning and chess, then the identity of this Bai Lady would definitely not be able to escape.

I really can't imagine that Bai Jian is usually unfathomable, and he actually visited the door in person for the sake of Ye Xi?

Bai Jian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Mu Xu hadn't replied for a long time, "It seems that Master Mu thinks that Bai is abrupt..."

"No, no, no!" Mu Xu hurriedly reacted, got up and arched his hand: "My lord has also been taught by Mrs. Lin, your admiration for Mrs. Lin is well known, this time the Ye family girl has such an opportunity, it is common sense for you to ask clearly, and the next official will call her over!" ”

Bai Jian nodded, this Mu Xu really understood a little, and said that he was an old man in the court and made an appointment to meet a little girl, which was admiring his teacher, and gave him enough face.

"Good!" He answered.

Mu Xu immediately gave a few words to his eldest son Mu Xiang, and Mu Xiang went to the backyard.

Mrs. Zhou, Mu Shi and others, who had been waiting for news in the inner courtyard, were shocked when they heard the news.

Bai Jian wants to play chess with Ye Xi?

The woman in the house naturally didn't understand the market here, she only knew that Bai Jian wanted to see Ye Xi, and she must have taken a fancy to her, and she was very happy for a while.

After hearing Bai Jian enter the mansion, Mu Shi quietly dressed up Ye Xi at the signal of Mrs. Zhou, and as expected, Bai Jian wanted to see her. It's just that Ye Xi heard that Bai Jian was going to talk to her and play chess with her, so he was very anxious.

On the pretext that she was going to Gongfang, she quietly dragged Ye Yun into the ear room of Mrs. Zhou's room.

"Sister, what should I do? I don't understand! "Although she can play chess, how can she compare with Bai Jian, this will definitely be a slip when she wants to go out.

Ye Yun never expected Bai Jian's mind to be so unpredictable, she directly told herself that Bai Jian didn't find an excuse to play chess with her because he liked Ye Xi, Bai Jian was not such a childish person.

He's here to tempt!

Is it just that he needs to be tempted? What is there to tempt him?

Ye Yun thought about it, and said something in Ye Xi's ear, Ye Xi gasped when he heard it, "This... Such.. Not suitable, right? ”

"Now there is no other way, otherwise, with my sister's chess skills, in front of him is a pediatrician, how to explain the breaking of the game yesterday!" Ye Yun said with relief,

Yesterday, he used the incident of meeting Mrs. Lin to prevaricate everyone, but at least it shows that Ye Xi knows chess, and his chess skills are not bad, so it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be suspected by him if he loses the game against Bai Jian so recklessly.

Ye Xi took a hard breath and exhaled again, then calmed down and walked out of the ear room.

Because Bai Jian wanted to see Ye Xi, Mu and Mrs. Zhou went over together, and Ye Yun naturally followed behind.

So the flower hall was separated by a twelve-open screen of flat sand and falling geese.

Ye Xi walked out from behind the screen.

Bai Jian glanced up at her, and saw that she was wearing a garnet red long dress, taking advantage of her tall and graceful figure, she was wearing a light blue short arm, and a pale yellow floral narrow shirt inside, all of which were new materials, bright in color, and the whole person was indescribably graceful and beautiful, which could not only show her delicate beauty just right, but also look dignified and decent, and not lose her cuteness.

Mu has lived in Yangzhou for a long time, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are particularly fond of dressing up.

Bai Jian still smiled lightly, tilted his body, and was graceful and dignified.

Mu Xu didn't see too much surprise on his face, but Bai Jian was good at hiding his thoughts, and Ye Xi's dress was very outstanding, so he should be able to get into his eyes.

"Little woman Ye Xi greets the adults!" Ye Xiying gave a salute.

Bai Jian pointed to the brocade opposite him, and said gently: "Girl, sit down, yesterday the girl showed her skills in Baifu, today Bai is abrupt, I want to play a game with the girl, I don't know what to do?" ”

Ye Xi was not in a hurry to sit down, and suddenly curled the corners of his lips, blinked his big eyes and said: "The adult is in the temple, the little woman is just a deep girl, she doesn't know the world, and she is naturally inferior to the adult in chess, but since the adult is interested, the rules have to follow the little woman, and the adult has to close his eyes and play against the little woman!" ”

Ye Xi's words startled everyone in the Mu Mansion. Mu and Mrs. Zhou were taken aback.

Does such a naughty thing seem like she said it?

Ye Xi is gentle and virtuous in front of outsiders, how can he be so bold today in a cabinet old prerequisite.

Mu Xu, who was sitting on the side, was surprised, but secretly appreciated, this little girl is too smart and clever, no wonder Bai Jian fell in love with her, she said this not only to fulfill Bai Jian's intention to play chess with her, but also to make the game lose the meaning of comparison, in case Bai Jian loses, it is Bai Jian playing with other girls with his eyes closed, in case she loses, she loses to Bai Jian, who plays chess with her eyes closed, isn't it more powerful to set off Bai Jian?

It's really rare to have such insight at such a young age!

And the words are very beautiful.

When Bai Jian heard this, he finally showed a comfortable smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Interesting! Smart and transparent!

Mu Xu and the others looked at Bai Jian's expression, and they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, there was a play.
