After Mo Bai sat down, he took a fancy to the pastries on the table at first glance, which looked good and smelled good.

However, he didn't reach for it, and it was inconvenient for him to eat with a mask now.

Mo Bai planned to wait for the tea party to end, pack the pastries and take them away, and bring them back to Mo Ying to eat.

The Murray will definitely like it.

Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, and according to tradition, Mo Ying will stay up late to watch the New Year, waiting for the first day of the new year.

Mo Bai had already said before Mo Bai went out that she would wait for him to come back at home.

The puppet dragon man didn't bring it over, and Mo Bai left it in the gym to accompany Mo Ying, so that she wouldn't feel lonely alone.

Mo Bai's gaze fell on a table opposite, and his posture was graceful under the dark palace skirt.

Xiao Wan'er's eyes were erratic, glancing towards him from time to time, with a faint resentment in those bright eyes, quite a resentful woman who had been wronged but didn't dare to speak.

Xu was blocked by a mask, and Xiao Wan'er didn't realize that her peeking had been discovered.

Mo Bai squinted, Xiao Wan'er's state seemed to be a little wrong, her qi was weak and her blood was lacking, and her face was white and her body was weak.

If it weren't for the light makeup, she would definitely look like a terminally ill patient at this moment.

Mo Bai sniffed carefully, and the tempting taste was much lighter, faintly mixed with a little blood.

On the stage, after a song and dance, Li Yu looked at Mo Bai during the gap period, and asked with a light smile: "I wonder if this mundane thing is in line with the taste of the national teacher?" ”

"......" Mo Bai tilted his head, his face under the mask did not have the slightest wave, and when he met Li Yu's fiery eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and then took off his mask.

"Hiss~~~!"

There was a particularly uniform inhalation sound in the room, and the temperature in the air rose slightly.

Everyone present, except for Li Yugong, Sun Changquan and Zhao Qingsong, who knew Mo Bai's appearance, everyone else saw Mo Bai's true face for the first time.

Putting the mask aside, Mo Bai picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it, and said slowly: "It's not too sweet." ”

For desserts, this is an excellent review.

Li Yu looked at Mo Bai and was stunned for a while, in fact, he asked if the opera was in line with Mo Bai's taste......

"It's good if the national teacher likes it."

On the stage, the stage was ready, Li Yu waved his hand, signaling to continue playing music and dancing.

Mo Bai is not very interested in the dance music on the stage, a group of flowery dancers are spinning around, and they are not as good as Xue Rongji dancing alone.

Now that he has taken off his mask, Mo Bai is no longer restrained and begins to concentrate on eating snacks.

What made Mo Bai feel strange was that there were maids serving and adding wine at other tables, not to mention the maids here, he didn't even have wine.

"Huh?" Mo Bai frowned slightly, looked up at the table opposite, Xiao Wan'er, who was still cautiously peeking at the table, was burning at the moment, with a thick look of surprise in her eyes.

Finding that Mo Bai was looking at her, Xiao Wan'er's cheeks were blushing, her earlobes were dyed red, and she lowered her head in a panic and picked up a piece of pastry and ate it awkwardly.

Her movements were slow and delicate, her cherry-colored mouth opened slightly, and Bai Ze's bright teeth bit lightly on the pastry.

The small mouth muttered, the sleeves of the shirt were half-covered, and after eating a piece of pastry, he pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth.

A piece of pastry was in her stomach, Xiao Wan'er's heart gradually calmed down, raised her head slightly, and raised her eyes to look in the direction of Mo Bai.

The man in white had clear eyes, did not mix any feelings, and looked at her calmly.

Xiao Wan'er's heartbeat missed half a beat, and then began to beat violently, her eyebrows trembled slightly, and she hurriedly buried her head and ate the pastry silently.

At the last moment, she was still a sad woman with deep resentment and anger and did not dare to speak, but now she is like a girl with a rippling spring heart, shy and timid.

Oh, woman.

Mo Bai retracted his eyes, the tea party continued step by step, Li Yu didn't come to talk to him again, and many of the people present didn't dare to talk to Mo Bai.

As the tea party ends, tonight's finale begins, the shadow puppet show.

The small piece of paper on the shadow cloth is vivid, and the ink white blinks and blinks the eyes, and it is interesting to see.

……

Stargazing Tower.

A table, a pair of chairs.

There was red paper on the table, and Mo Ying sat on a chair, holding scissors in her hand, meticulously cutting paper flowers.

The night is long, loneliness is always inevitable, and while waiting for Mo Bai to come back, Mo Ying found something to do for herself.

"Little White Dragon, look." Handing the cut paper flower to the puppet dragon man, Mo Ying smiled.

The puppet dragon man stood quietly beside her, its pale golden horns dyed with a glimmer of starlight.

Mo Ying smiled awkwardly, scratched her head, and said, "Forget that you are not a living thing." ”

The puppet dragon man's eyes were dim, his face was calm, and he slowly stepped forward to pull another chair away, and the next moment, Mo Bai appeared out of thin air and sat down on the chair.

Mo Ying was delighted: "Xiaobai, are you back?" ”

Mo Bai nodded, took out a stack of pastries from his sleeve and put it on the table, "The tea party is over." ”

"What is this?"

"Delicious."

"Did you bring it to me?"

"Hmm."

"Thank you, Xiaobai!"

Mo Ying put down the scissors and paper flowers, wiped her hands, and twisted a piece of pastry into her mouth.

"Hmm~ good times." Mo Ying's face was happy, "Is this a pastry at the tea party?" ”

Mo Bai nodded: "Hmm." ”

Mo Ying was curious, pulled a chair and moved towards Mo Bai, and couldn't wait to ask, "Xiaobai, what's at the tea party?" ”

Mo Bai glanced at Mo Ying, whose body almost pressed over.

The jade neck is as slender as a swan, the cream-like skin is silky and shiny, and the fawn-like eyes are clear and smart.

The movement of the waist is even more prominent, and the graceful posture is beautiful.

The only fly in the ointment is that the hill is still slightly barren, and the toes can still be seen when you look down.

Mo Bai is simple, looking at Mo Ying without impurities in his eyes, his heart is full of satisfaction.

Mo Ying's stared cheeks were slightly red, and she opened her eyes and Mo Bai to distance herself, and said shyly: "Xiaobai, why are you staring at me?" ”

Mo Bai tilted his head, did not explain, and began to tell the story of what happened at the tea party, what seemed uninteresting to him, fell into Mo Ying's ears is a pleasure.

Mo Ying put her hands on her cheeks and looked yearning: "Tea party, I also want to see the dancing girls dancing." ”

Mo Bai didn't understand, but didn't speak.

He looked at the red paper and scissors on the table, and the shadow puppet show at the tea party was still vivid.

A thought came to mind.

"Hey, Xiaobai, do you want to pick up paper flowers too?" When Mo Ying came back to her senses, she found that Mo Bai had picked up the scissors.

Mo Bai shook his head: "Don't cut paintings, paper cutters." ”

"Paper man?" Mo Ying tilted her head, "The kind in shadow puppetry?" That kind of paper figure seems quite complicated. ”

Mo Bai's expression was indifferent, and he didn't feel any difficulty.

Mo Ying shrugged her shoulders and propped her cheek on the table with one hand to look at Mo Bai's paper cuts.

I don't know what kind of magic it is, looking at Mo Bai's gentle and slow movements, Mo Ying gradually fell into a trance, and before sleepiness emerged, Mo Bai finally cut a paper man.

Mo Ying yawned and said lazily: "Xiaobai, the joints of the paper puppet in the shadow puppet show can move, you can't move." ”

Mo Bai pursed his lips, his fingertips lit up with faint starlight, and gently sketched on the paper man's body, and in the next moment, the paper man flew out and fell to the ground to become a real person.

“！”

Mo Ying's eyes straightened, and her mind cleared up for a moment, "This...... This...... Xiaobai, you're cheating! ”

Mo Bai puffed up his mouth unhappily, waved his sleeves, and the woman in red danced in place, reproducing the group of dancers at the tea party, with colorful butterflies among the flowers, fluttering.

Mo Ying was fascinated by it, and after the dance, the woman in red turned back into a piece of paper and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Mo Ying looked embarrassed, coughed dryly, was a little embarrassed, gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed: "Xiaobai, you are so amazing!" ”

Mo Bai turned his head angrily, silently picked up the paper man, picked up the scissors and continued to cut the paper man.

Mo Ying scratched her head, not knowing what to do.

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to the tradition of previous years, you should walk the streets and alleys, but when Mo Ying first arrived in the capital, she was not familiar with the place, and there was no object to visit at all, so when she should be busy, Mo Ying was very idle at the moment.

In the warm pavilion, Mo Ying was holding a book, and the corners of her mouth couldn't restrain her smile.

The maidservant outside the house walked in and said to Mo Ying, "Master, there is a guest visiting." ”

Mo Ying closed the book, pulled the corners of her mouth to regain her composure, she glanced at the handmaid who was still good-looking, and she couldn't hide the look of surprise in her eyes.

Overnight, there were many more fresh faces in the gym, maids and male servants, all of which were complete.

'Xiaobai is amazing! ’

The corners of Mo Ying's mouth couldn't help but rise, and using a piece of paper to take care of the big and small things in the museum can save a lot of money for hiring a maid.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the only person who is most likely to visit is Zhao Qingsong, who came to the capital with Moying Mobai, and Moying said without thinking: "Is it the master?" Let him in. ”

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Qingsong stared at the busy servants up and down, and asked suspiciously: "Miss Mo, when did you hire someone?" ”

Mo Ying explained where the maid came from.

Zhao Qingsong looked stunned, staring at the servant's eyes and suddenly couldn't take it off, "There is such a wonderful technique in the world?" ”

Mo Ying smiled and asked, "Doctor, are you here to see Xiaobai?" ”

Zhao Qingsong smiled lightly: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, why do I have to come to visit the two of you?" ”

He paused, and then said, "However, I do have something I want to ask Master Mo. ”

"What's the matter?" The warbler was curious.

Zhao Qingsong shook his head and asked, "But Master Mo is on the stargazing tower?" ”

Mo Ying nodded, curious about the question that Zhao Qingsong was hiding, and she comforted herself in her heart: "Well, ask Xiaobai when the time comes." ’

On the stargazing floor, Mo Bai sat on the edge of the platform.

"Mo Gongzi."

"Sir."

Zhao Qingsong sat down next to Mo Bai and looked at the scenery below, the high and low houses were neatly arranged, no matter how many times he looked at it, he would not feel bored.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Qingsong asked, "Does Mo Gongzi recognize Empress Dowager Xiao?" It was the one at the table next to Gongsun Changquan last night. ”

When Mo Bai appeared last night, Xiao Wan'er exclaimed, "thief", but no one cared.

But when the tea party was over, Zhao Qingsong recalled that he tossed and turned in bed all night, and came to the gym early in the morning to ask for clarification.

Mo Bai was quiet for a while, and said slowly: "I've seen it, one side." ”

"The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how did you see her, Master Mo? Could it be ......"

Zhao Qingsong's face changed for a moment, and he quickly swallowed the words that he had not spit out, his face was suddenly serious, and his tone was serious: "Master Mo, don't talk to anyone about this matter, if someone asks you if you have seen the Queen Mother in the future, you will say no." ”

Mo Bai tilted his head, indicating that he didn't understand, but seeing Zhao Qingsong's serious expression, he didn't ask much.

"Young Master Mo, there is some common sense, Miss Mo has no chance to tell you......"

Zhao Qingsong straightened his sitting posture: "Today, let me make up for the rules that you should abide by in the world." ”

Mo Bai: "Oh. ”

After that, Zhao Qingsong talked endlessly for nearly two hours, and Mo Bai reluctantly wrote down some of the rules.

◇——◇

Liangdu, there was a heavy snowfall last night, and the snow in the city was thicker.

Jiang Yun'er got up early, put on her brand new red cotton jacket, and ran to the front hall non-stop, and after getting the New Year's money from her grandfather, she went to visit her mother and Erniang.

When Jiang Yun'er came to Jiang Liunian with a red envelope that was so bulging that she couldn't drum, Jiang Liunian threw a gentle smile at her, "What? Do you still want to ask for New Year's money from me? ”

"Big brother, you misunderstood."

Jiang Yun'er shook her head shyly, smiled sweetly at Jiang Liunian, and sent all the New Year's money she got to Jiang Liunian, and said mysteriously: "I want to discuss with my eldest brother." ”

Jiang Liunian sneered: "At a young age, you know how to bribe others with money, if you grow up, then you can still get it?" ”

With a distressed expression, he squinted his eyes and reached out to pick the thickest one among the red envelopes.

With a calm face in his arms, he cleared his throat: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Jiang Yun'er rolled her eyes, put away the rest of the red envelopes, and sat beside Jiang Liunian with a serious expression.

"Big brother, are you going to the capital?"

Jiang Liunian was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Yun'er, "Who told you?" ”

"Aren't all the people in the house talking?" Jiang Yun'er shrugged her shoulders, "Everyone is saying, big brother, you will enter Beijing after the beginning of the spring, go to Guozijian to study and change your stinky temper." ”

Jiang Liunian stared at Jiang Yun'er for a while, the latter had a simple look in his eyes and didn't know what it meant to enter Beijing.

Jiang Liunian laughed: "Yes, your eldest brother and I will enter Beijing after the beginning of spring, and you won't be able to see me at that time." ”

He rubbed Jiang Yun'er's little head dotingly, and said softly: "When the eldest brother arrives in the capital, if he sees anything delicious and fun, he will send it back to you." ”

"No, no," Jiang Yun'er waved her hand and asked innocently: "Big brother, I also want to go to the capital, can you take me with you?" ”

"What?" Jiang Liunian was stunned.

Jiang Yun'er looked at Jiang Liunian expectantly, and repeated: "I said that I also want to go to the capital." ”

She thought about it for a while, and then emphasized: "I want to go to Guozijian to study like my eldest brother, not to play!" ”

Jiang Liunian's eyelids trembled, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The red envelope in his arms was not yet warm, so he quickly took it out and returned it to Jiang Yun'er.

Jiang Yun'er refused: "How can there be a reason to return the things that have been received?" ”

"Old sister, there is nothing good ...... in the capital"

"I want to go!"

"No, no, you're still young," Jiang Liunian shook his head frantically, "How can you go so far from home?" ”

Jiang Yun'er said: "It's not small, I'm nine years old, and I can get married in a few years." ”

Jiang Liunian glared: "If you want to marry, someone else will marry in, and it is impossible for my sister Jiang Liunian to marry out!" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Yun'er was surprised, 'Marry in? Is it possible for the big brother to get rich? ’

She shook her head, shook off her unrealistic thoughts, and continued to ask: "Big brother, I only need you a word, can I go to the capital with you?" ”

"Can't!" Jiang Liunian bit to death.

"Why?" Jiang Yun'er looked moved.

"If you can't, you can't," Jiang Liunian had an attitude of not advancing oil and salt, "How can there be so many why?" ”

"Big Brother~"

"No way!"

"Hmph, then you give me back the New Year's money!"
