Chapter 107: Grandfather's Birthday Gift

Returning from Old Madam Bai, Bai Hibiscus saw Xiaolan wandering on the road she had to pass through from a distance. When I saw her, my eyes were shining, and it seemed that I had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Bai Hibiscus had a faint face, and didn't seem to intend to pay attention to it, and when he saw that she was about to come over, he threw her a cold look, as if warning something.

Xiaolan also knew that if she was seen approaching Bai Hibiscus in private in broad daylight, she would definitely attract right and wrong, so she didn't dare to really come over, the purpose of her wandering here was just to let Bai Hibiscus understand that she Xiaolan had not forgotten her kindness, and she was still Bai Hibiscus's person, and she didn't betray her ungrateful because she was serving the second lady these days.

Bai Mu Hibiscus naturally knows this girl's thoughts, but she doesn't like this, Xiaolan is a girl with her own ideas, unlike mandarin ducks and magpies, who focus on her. So for Xiaolan, her attitude is to stay away, if it is really useful, you might as well use it, but she will be especially wary of her.

Xiao Lan showed her face, and then retreated in amusement, without even saying hello. As soon as he returned to Jinlan Garden, the magpie couldn't help but ask: "Why doesn't Miss think to ask Xiaolan, what happened to the second miss in the family temple these days?" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus glanced at her, and suddenly said solemnly to the two: "In the future, without my consent, don't easily contact Xiaolan, otherwise even if it is you, I will never spare it!" ”

This is the first time that Bai Hibiscus said such heavy words to the mandarin duck and the magpie, and the two girls jumped, but they obediently bowed their heads. Trembling, for fear of making Bai Hibiscus angry.

Seeing the two of them like this, Bai Mujin also restrained his serious expression slightly, and said slowly: "Whether Xiaolan is a human or a ghost, none of us knows, in this family, I trust only you and Mama Rui the most, and no one else can be trusted, Xiaolan is now serving Bai Yunxi, although there is Xiaolu's hatred between them, but who can guarantee that Xiaolan has no other thoughts?" ”

The magpie knew at this time that he was reckless, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Miss, the slave is too reckless, she will definitely think twice in the future, and never cause trouble for Miss!" ”

Mama Rui also agreed: "The magpie is a clever ghost, but sometimes he is too impulsive and brainless. The master's concerns are right, although Xiaolan came to surrender, she couldn't easily believe her, and she still needed time to investigate carefully before she could use it! ”

Mama Rui only said that she was using it for one purpose, not believing it. Bai Mujin felt that Mama Rui was indeed a passing matter, and she was very safe, so she said: "The Lu family is now making a comeback, we must always be vigilant, she will never stop, or it won't be long before something comes out, you must always be vigilant in the yard, don't give people a chance to take advantage of!" ”

The two girls and Mama Rui both nodded in response, and the three of them understood that Jinlan Garden was in danger, so the control of the courtyard was even stricter, and they must protect Jinlan Garden like an iron bucket, so that no one would cross their protection and do anything to hurt Dao Bai Hibiscus.

Seeing that the three of her had listened, Bai Mujin stopped being verbose, she picked up the screen that had been embroidering, and continued to walk the flying needle that seemed to be careless, and her proficiency seemed to force her eyes to do it well.

Probably no one would have imagined that this once pampered daughter is not worse than the top embroidery girl's kung fu.

The mandarin duck looked at the embroidery and reminded with some concern: "It will be Xiangye's birthday in a few days, and you haven't told us to prepare a birthday gift, what do you have any good ideas?" ”

Bai Mujin looked at the mandarin duck's worried and had to hold back his words, which was really a little funny, but he deliberately said: "It's not a big birthday, grandpa likes inkstones, wouldn't it be good to prepare the four treasures of the study?" It's all about getting to heart! ”

The mandarin duck pursed his lips, although he disagreed very much, but he couldn't say that Bai Mujian was not, so he could only vaguely remind: "The slave thinks that the Lu family will carefully prepare the birthday gift, if the young lady is not careful, I am afraid that she will fall into the hands of others!" ”

Bai Mujin knew that she was thinking about herself, so she naturally wouldn't be unhappy, but she was just deliberately teasing her, seeing her faintly anxious appearance, she couldn't bear it, so she said: "Don't worry, I will prepare the birthday gift, and I will not disappoint my grandparents!" ”

Hearing what the master said, the mandarin duck was relieved, after all, Bai Hibiscus had never made a mistake in doing things now, and she trusted Bai Hibiscus unreservedly.

Two days later, Bai Gaoxuan was also released from the ancestral hall, the Lu family was proud, the backyard of the Ningguo Mansion once again became the Lu family's world, and even the old lady Bai, who was once disgusted with her, began to be pleasant.

Bai Yunxi runs to Tangli Garden every day, much more diligent than in the past, and every time he strives to go earlier than Bai Hibiscus's invitation, just to compare Bai Hibiscus.

But he was always defeated by Bai Muhibiscus's silent counterattack, which made Bai Yunxi really annoyed, but in order to play his new image of being well-behaved and sensible, he had to endure it again and again.

On the eighth day of the first month of March, it was Lu Xiangye's birthday, and he didn't want to make a big deal, but the families of many officials in the DPRK and China consciously came to congratulate the old minister on his birthday.

Even the emperor personally gave a longevity peach to congratulate the old minister on his birthday, which shows the emperor's generous treatment of Prime Minister Lu. Others, even though they were not invited, sent congratulatory gifts.

On this day, the Lu Mansion can be described as extremely lively, and the carriage in front of the door almost blocked the road. Bai Shizu brought Bai Muchen and Bai Gaoxuan two brothers in a car, and Bai Mujin naturally wanted to follow Bai Yunxi and the Lu family in the same car.

Along the way, Bai Yunxi deliberately put on Bai Hibiscus and asked, "Sister, I wonder if you prepared a birthday gift for your grandfather alone?" ”

Bai Mujin smiled and asked rhetorically, "What about my sister?" You must have prepared a birthday gift, right? ”

Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "That's natural, the gift I prepared this time, my grandfather must like it!" ”

Bai Muhibiscus echoed: "The gift carefully prepared by my sister, my grandfather naturally likes it, the so-called courtesy is light and affectionate, my granddaughter's heart, where will my grandfather be picky about the quality of the gift!" ”

"How can my gift be light? Wouldn't that mean you don't pay attention to your grandfather's birthday? Tell you, this gift has cost me a lot of time and silver, but listening to my sister, the gift you prepared doesn't seem to be valuable? As soon as Bai Yunxi heard Bai Mujian say that her gift was not valuable, she immediately retorted breathlessly.

Bai Mujin didn't answer, but changed the conversation and said, "I heard that my father prepared a lot of gifts for my grandfather and collected a lot of orphan books, this must be your idea, mother, right?" ”

Lu Shi also nodded without hesitation, and said with a smile: "That's natural, what your grandfather likes, I naturally know very well, those gold and silver vulgar things can't get into his eyes!" ”

Bai Mujian nodded, and naturally complimented Lu's filial piety and heart, but didn't mention what gift he gave, but seeing her like this, Lu and Bai Yunxi both thought that Bai Muxi's gift was probably impossible to take, so they were no longer reluctant, anyway, when Bai Yunxi's gift compared to her, it was Bai Muhibiscus who was embarrassed.

The carriage stopped in front of the door of the Lu Mansion, and the two uncles who greeted the guests at the door also hurriedly greeted the carriage of the White Mansion.

Bai Shizu appeared with his two sons and chatted with Lu Zhaoran and Lu Zhaoan for a while, while Lu took his two daughters to the backyard.

As soon as Bai Yunxi saw Mrs. Lu, she came up with a well-behaved and innocent face, gave Mrs. Lu a big gift, and shouted playfully: "Grandma, I haven't seen you for a long time, Xi'er misses you!" ”

Old Madam Lu didn't have much enthusiasm for her, and when she thought that Bai Yunxi had repeatedly wanted to harm Bai Muhibiscus, she felt embarrassed, but in front of so many people, she couldn't give her no face, so she helped her and said, "Good girl, I've gone to see your two aunts!" ”

Bai Muhibi also stepped forward at this time, saluted Mrs. Lu, and said affectionately: "Grandma, it's really refreshing to be in good spirits on happy occasions, your complexion is much better than last time, you look like you're more than ten years younger!" ”

Mrs. Lu was praised by her, pulled her over, and replied very affectionately: "You little mouth, you are more and more coaxing, but you ate honey before you came?" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled and said, "Grandma, what Jin'er said is the truth, I don't believe you ask your mother!" ”

Lu also hurriedly said flatteringly: "Jin'er is right, my mother looks radiant now, and she is even envious of being a daughter!" ”

The Lu family is actually very aggrieved in her heart, Mrs. Lu's attitude towards Bai Mujian and Bai Yunxi before and after is very different, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she feels more sorry for her granddaughter, but she still has to hold the old lady affectionately, so she is naturally unhappy.

After Bai Yunxi met the two aunts, he also discovered the intimacy between Bai Muhiscus and Mrs. Lu, and the old lady still held her hand until now, but she was sent back to meet the two aunts after she saluted.

Bai Mujin is not an illiterate person, let go of Mrs. Lu's hand, and said with a smile: "Grandma, I will also go to meet the two aunts, and I will talk to you again when I come back!" ”

Mrs. Lu nodded, let her go, and Lu also said some auspicious words, so she also entered the house and talked to the two sisters-in-law.

The relationship between relatives and relatives in the house is very clear, Lu Jiaojiao and Bai Yunxi are close, and they both talk around the Lu family and the Hu family, while Bai Mujin accompanies the Qin family and Lu Feiyuan to talk and laugh together.

Originally, they didn't interfere with each other, but they were also kind, but someone wanted to find fault, and I didn't know what Bai Yunxi muttered in Lu Jiaojiao's ear, so Lu Jiaojiao looked at Bai Mujian with a look of disdain, and then came over, and said in a weird manner: "Cousin, just now Cousin Xi'er told me that she found an ancient inkstone for her grandfather, which is priceless, I don't know what gift you prepared for my grandfather?" ”

This is clearly a joke to see Bai Muxi, Bai Yunxi's ancient inkstone was not found by herself, it was obviously bought with the help of the Lu family, with Bai Yunxi's monthly examples, how could she afford such a valuable gift. Although Bai Mujin is the eldest daughter, the monthly example is only the same as Bai Yunxi, where can you afford such a valuable thing?
