"What is strong? His name is strong, look at it, Xuan'er was forced to leave Beijing, and he still has to take refuge in me, and the good sister-in-law and concubine have become concubines, and Jin'er and Chen'er are now promising, one follows Mr. Dongfang, and the other has become the county lord! Bai Yaozu was a little envious.

Meng Shi smiled and said: "I think the relationship between your eldest brother and Jin'er is probably not as simple as a quarrel, according to my observation, this father and daughter, I'm afraid that they have already made a lot of trouble, so which is the father and daughter, it is not as good as the opponent!" You didn't see your eldest brother gritting his teeth at Jin'er, tsk...... It's scary! ”

Bai Yaozu was also very puzzled and said: "When we left, although the eldest brother didn't like Jin'er, he was okay with his face, what happened in the past few years?" Did you notice that Jin'er became follow...... It's very different, I'm not talking about her identity, but her temperament, always smiling at people, but people don't dare to get close! ”

Meng Shi didn't care much, but said indifferently: "People have grown up, besides, she is now a county lord, and she should have some momentum." But if it's really a feud between your eldest brother and Jin'er, what are you going to do? ”

"What else? It's just to help talk and make peace! Bai Yaozu said.

Meng Shi glanced at him and said: "In front of me, what are you pretending to be, you took Jin'er's post in front of so many people, your eldest brother glared at you several times, I obviously don't want you to be close to Jin'er, according to me, we should have more dealings with Jin'er, she is the county lord, and she can help you more than your eldest brother!" ”

Bai Yaozu frowned and said, "But...... Mother doesn't seem to like Jin'er either, and this matter can't be easily decided! ”

"To put it mildly, my mother's desire for power is too heavy, as long as anyone disobeys her, she doesn't like it. Now that Jin'er has become the county lord, can she still hold her everywhere? Listen to her? It's normal to not like it, anyway, you're just a second son, and the Bai family won't have much to do with you in the future, it's better to take advantage of Jin'er's fact that she hasn't opened the mansion alone, you have to seize the opportunity and get closer to her more! Meng said.

Bai Yaozu said: "I am an uncle, how can I get closer to my niece, if you think you want to be closer to her, you can go around with your children more, especially the two daughters, if you can get her blue eyes, you can also find a good family in the future, it's true!" ”

Meng Shi smiled and said: "Then you can rest assured, as long as you can stay in Beijing this time, and then I can mediate between it, it will definitely make Jin'er take more care of us, even if it is Jue'er, if you can follow his eldest brother Brother Chen together, it is also excellent." Who doesn't know that Mr. Dongfang's subordinates are all princes and grandsons, so how can they make friends with ordinary people? ”

Bai Yaozu nodded and said: "What you said is reasonable, then let's not get involved in her and her eldest brother and mother's affairs, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it, you really can't avoid it, just say good things on both sides, don't offend anyone, secretly help Jin'er a few points, she will be grateful, and it will be easier to talk when the time comes!" ”

Meng smiled and said: "This mansion treats gold and jade as rotten iron, and if you don't get close to her, you won't be happy with her, if you don't say that they can't do anything, a good Guogong Mansion can also be demoted, and the father's title is not as high as the daughter's, it's really promising!" ”

Bai Yaozu waved his hand and said, "That's it, don't say it, sleep, I'm tired!" ”

Meng Shi closed his mouth and fell asleep with him. At dinner, the whole family arrived, but Bai Muhiscus did not come, but also sent a few chic side dishes made in the small kitchen and a pot of jade liquid elixir, only saying that it was for Bai Yaozu to catch the wind and wash the dust.

Everyone knew why she didn't come, but they deliberately didn't mention it, just as if nothing happened. Bai Yunxi sneered and said: "My sister is really good at being a person, the second uncle just came back, she was in a hurry, and she was going to put wine in Tianyi Pavilion, and she was sending food and wine, second uncle, you have a lot of face!" Now in this white mansion, even my grandmother and father don't have such a big face! ”

One sentence stirred up the atmosphere at the banquet to the extreme, and Bai Shizu couldn't help but glared at Bai Yunxi, and said, "What are you talking about, don't open any pot and mention which pot!" ”

Bai Yunxi hurriedly slapped his mouth with a smile and said, "It's all my fault, this unobstructed mouth, second uncle and second aunt, don't take it to heart, it's not your fault, they all say that it is far fragrant and smelly, and it should be!" ”

Bai Yaozu laughed dryly, but asked, "Big brother, what happened between you and Jin'er, why is the father and daughter like enemies?" ”

As soon as Bai Shizu heard this, he became angry, and said angrily: "You should ask that bastard about this, she has my father in her eyes, and she has repeatedly provoked trouble, making the family restless, and she can't wait to tear down our family, so she is satisfied!" ”

Bai Yunxi also interjected and said: "Now she is capable, even Prince Xuan's Nine Emperor Uncle is her backer, don't say it's us, do you know that Dali Siqing called her over the court and beat her because of a case a few days ago, what's going on now?" ”

"How's it going?" Bai Yaozu asked in surprise.

"After being dismissed, I still have to ask him about his crimes, although he is looking for other mistakes, but who knows who doesn't know, he just offended his sister, the county lord of Anping, and was targeted by the Nine Emperor Uncles, this time, if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin!" Bai Yunxi is mysterious and authentic.

Bai Yaozu was taken aback and said, "Nine Emperor Uncles...... Then it's no wonder, it's just ...... How did this Jin'er get involved with Uncle Nine Emperors? ”

Bai Yunxi laughed and said: "Then how do I know, how capable she is, not to mention the Nine Emperor Uncles, even the queen mother has some friendship with her, and often asks her to enter the palace to talk!" ”

But Bai Yunxi's ambiguous expression made people have infinite reverie, which was clearly alluding to Bai Muhibiscus and Nine Emperor Uncles, but she didn't say anything that others couldn't say.

Mu Xinping said with a smile: "The daughters of our Hou Mansion are all the best, let's just talk about the second girl, isn't it also related to the Chu County Palace, and it is no worse than the county lord!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yaozu and Meng Shi glanced at each other, and a touch of surprise flashed in each other's eyes, Bai Yunxi's face suddenly froze, glared at Mu Xinping, and said, "Mother, what do you mean by this?" When did I have a great relationship with the Chu County Palace? ”

"What? Could it be that I read it wrong, why did I see the second girl returning to the house in the carriage of the Chu County Mansion two days ago, and it seems that the person who sent you back was a descendant of the County Palace, right? Mu Xinping said with a puzzled face, but there was a clear twinkle in her eyes.

Bai Yunxi was annoyed and ashamed, and said: "Mother is so strange, whose carriage do I take back home, what does it have to do with you, don't you still send someone to keep an eye on me?" ”

Mu Xinping didn't get much excited, but said lightly: "Second girl, I am now your mother-in-law, and it is natural for me to be a child, you are so excited, but you are a thief?" Although I am not your biological mother, but your behavior represents the dignity of my Hou Mansion, like you and a man in private, spread out, where will the face of my Hou Mansion go? ”

"You...... When do I receive it privately? Bai Yunxi was a little unconfident when he spoke.

Mu Xinping sneered and said, "The second girl's house has recently added a lot of furnishings, and the new clothes have been changed one by one, according to the monthly rules allocated to you in our house now, I'm afraid you can't afford it, right?" Aunt Lu is in debt again, and she still owes money to the county lord, could it be that the Hou Ye gave it to you privately? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Bai Shizu with a smile, with some inquiry, Bai Shizu just laughed and ignored it. However, Bai Yunxi's face was already red, and he trembled with anger, but he was powerless to refute.

Old Madam Bai glanced at Mu Xinping unhappily and said, "Okay, have a good meal, what do you say about this?" ”

Mu Xinping noticed that Old Madam Bai didn't seem to object to this kind of thing, and suddenly felt a lot of contempt for Old Madam Bai in her heart, she was the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and she was so faceless and skinless, even if her granddaughter was unclear with the man outside, even if she wanted to sell her daughter for glory, she couldn't do it so frivolously.

This strengthened Mu Xinping's heart to win the power of the Bai family, if she was in charge of this mansion, it would not be what it is now, which is called the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked.

Because of such a small episode, the atmosphere of this dust-washing banquet was also strange to a certain extent, Bai Yaozu and Meng Shi were still confused about many things when they first returned to Beijing, but they heard so much shocking news at once, and they couldn't digest it for a while. Except for a few children, probably no one thought the meal was sweet.

After the meal, Bai Yunxi said goodbye and returned to the courtyard angrily, and glared deeply at Mu Xinping before leaving. Mu Xinping was pregnant, so she couldn't stand sitting often, so after eating, she asked the girl to help her go for a walk and eliminate food.

The Meng family took the children back to settle early, and only the four mothers and sons of the Bai family stayed behind to say something considerate. Old Madam Bai just hopes that Bai Yaozu will strive to stay in the capital, be an official in the capital, and have a high chance of promotion, and she can also help Bai Shizu more and make the Bai family more prosperous.

The two brothers had a lot to say after not seeing each other for a long time, and they chatted until late at night before they went back to rest. At noon on the second day, Bai Yaozu took the family to Tianyi Pavilion, although he had not been in the capital for a long time, he had also heard of the name of Tianyi Pavilion...... We haven't seen such a good restaurant in so many years! ”

Bai Yaozu glanced at her and said, "Don't be like the countryman going into the city, making people laugh, we are going to the appointment of the county lord of Anping today, you are optimistic about a few children, they are unruly, and it seems that we can't get on the stage!" ”

Meng Shi smiled awkwardly and said, "I can save it, let's go......"

Bai Yaozu nodded at this time, and walked in with his head held high, as soon as the guys from Tianyi Pavilion saw Bai Yaozu, they hurriedly asked, "This master, do you have a reservation?" We have to make an appointment in advance! ”

Bai Yaozu took out the post that Bai Muhibiscus gave him, and when the guy saw it, his attitude was more respectful than before, and he hurriedly said: "Master upstairs, please!" ”
