Until he got into the carriage back to the Hou Mansion, Xiao Yanlin still didn't answer Gu Baiyu's question.

Gu Baiyu seemed to be very troubled, frowning all the way.

When he arrived at the Hou Mansion and got out of the car, Xiao Yan quickly helped him, if it weren't for that, Gu Baiyu would have fallen down just now because he was too distracted by thinking about things.

Xiao Yanlin looked at Gu Baiyu with a tangled face and sighed.

"Of course you're not the same as him. You are more important than him. ”

"What, what?"

Gu Baiyu seemed very surprised when he heard this answer.

Yes, surprised.

Daye takes filial piety as the first of all kinds, and after a woman marries, she follows her husband, naturally, in her husband's heart, elders first, then siblings, then children, and then wives;

The situation of the Hou Mansion is even more special, it can be said that Xiao Ruoyun is Xiao Yanlin's only relative in this world.

This is also why, no matter how much Gu Baiyu resents Xiao Ruoyun's incompetence and cowardice in her previous life, she didn't really hurt Xiao Ruoyun, she was not afraid of Xiao Yanlin's blame, but she was afraid that Xiao Yanlin would be sad because of her brother's injury.

But what did she hear now?

Xiao Yanlin said, she is more important than Xiao Ruoyun?

Xiao Yanlin thought that she didn't understand, and patiently explained: "In this life, parents will grow old, brothers and sisters will have their own family business, and children and grandchildren will also have their own places. ”

He raised his hand and stroked Gu Baiyu's side cheek: "Only you are the one who was with me when I was born and was with me after death." In the first 30 years of my life, I made great achievements and raised my younger brother, and in the next few decades, I just want to be with you. ”

Xiao Yanlin spoke very slowly and seriously, and Gu Baiyu was so attracted by his words that he could barely take his eyes off his face.

Who said that the Marquis of Zhenbei is not smiling and not good at words?

This kind of heart-to-heart dissection is simply more beautiful than any love story at this time.

How can such a man not fall in love with her?

"Alright, come back to your senses."

Xiao Yanlin reached out and pinched Gu Baiyu's cheek, it was soft and felt very good.

"Don't worry, you won't have a dilemma, my father-in-law understands people, whether he is a person in the world, or an official in the court, he has great wisdom, and I have the same goal as him, Madame doesn't have to worry, even if you really encounter something difficult one day, Madam doesn't have to make any choices, I have the ability to keep Madame and your family."

Gu Baiyu was speechless, what great wisdom?

She only knew that those who were officials in the court, and those who had suffered losses at the hands of her father, all scolded Prime Minister Gu for being cunning and cunning.

But having said that, Gu Baiyu was still very moved.

Xiao Yanlin's tolerance allows her not to fall into a dilemma, Xiao Yanlin's strength can protect her and her family.

She married a good husband.

The two stood at the gate of the Hou Mansion for a while, and the old housekeeper saw it from a distance, but he saw that the two seemed to have something to say, so he didn't come forward to disturb.

At this time, seeing that the two of them were almost talking, they greeted them: "Madam, Master Hou, I'm back." ”

Gu Baiyu nodded and entered the Hou Mansion with Xiao Yanlin.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the old housekeeper, and Gu Baiyu suddenly remembered something.

At that time, on the second day of marriage, the old housekeeper saw her and Xiao Yanlin appear together, and when they were called, they were "Mrs., Master Hou" and put her title in front.

At that time, she was quite surprised, thinking that the old housekeeper was an old man of the Hou Mansion, she shouldn't make such a mistake, how could she go past the master and put her in front of her?

But Xiao Yanlin didn't say anything at that time, and even smiled.

Now that I think about it, since then, Xiao Yanlin's connivance with her, as well as her status in Xiao Yanlin's heart, has been very unusual, it is she who is too dull to see through today.

However, who would have thought that anyone would really put their wives in such an important position in their lives?

Even she herself still feels fluttering, as if she was in a dream.

She thought too much, and after separating from Xiao Yanlin in the corridor, she was taken back to the room by Lingyu.

After a cup of tea, I came back to my senses and was immediately a little annoyed.

How can she look like she has never seen the world!

It's going to make Hou Ye laugh!

And there's one more thing she forgot to ask!

Gu Baiyu's buttocks were still hot, and he chased after him to the study in a hurry.

"Master Hou, do you have to prepare in advance for that matter of the second master, in case it really makes trouble to the saint......

Gu Baiyu's words were stuck in his throat.

In the study, there were two deputy generals standing next to Xiao Yanlin, Gu Baiyu had seen them, when she went to the barracks to ask for marriage, these were two of the three.

Seeing this, Gu Baiyu thought that they were discussing business, and immediately saluted and wanted to leave: "Master Hou is busy first, I'll come back later." ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanlin beckoned to her: "It's okay, just come and get to know her." ”

Xiao Yanlin introduced: "These two are my lieutenant generals, Ren Qing, Chang Zhinian. ”

The two lieutenants naturally knew Gu Baiyu and immediately saluted Gu Baiyu.

Gu Baiyu was also very polite and smiled: "Two generals, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

These two people are fat and thin, but they are both very tall, the thin one is full of books, he is a Confucian general, and he is also the think tank of Xiao Yanlin's deputy generals, Ren Qing;

The sturdy one is even more eye-catching, estimated to have a physique of more than 200 catties, and his voice is as loud as a bell and drum.

"Madame, wow! Last time, we were all waiting to drink the happy wine of Hou Ye and his wife, but unfortunately Hou Ye was not righteous, and he ran to the cave room before it was dark on the day he got married. ”

It was Chang Zhinian who spoke, and his voice was very loud.

Gu Baiyu liked his bold personality, and immediately said: "How come, I will pour wine for you then, and you won't return if you don't get drunk!" ”

"Good!" Chang Zhinian laughed: "I'll just say that Mrs. and Hou Mansion are compatible, right?" Madame is dignified, but also refreshing! ”

After speaking, he obviously admired Gu Baiyu very much, turned his face to Xiao Yanlin and said, "Master Hou, it's too rusty to call Mrs., call sister-in-law, right?" ”

On the side, Ren Qing, who has always been calm, also nodded: "Good idea." ”

Seeing that the brothers who had died liked Gu Baiyu so much, Xiao Yanlin was also in a very happy mood and nodded in response.

Then, he said to the two, "Go on." ”

Obviously, he was talking about other things before, and he didn't treat Gu Baiyu as an outsider, so there was no need to shy away from it.

Gu Baiyu didn't squirm either, and listened quietly on the side.

It turned out that Xiao Yanlin had already made arrangements for Xiao Ruoyun and the Ministry of Industry, and called Chang Zhinian and Ren Qing here for this matter.

Seeing that the time they came was so appropriate, they should have asked the secret guard to inform the two of them when they were still shopping with her outside.

At this time, Xiao Yanlin is arranging for them to let the trustworthy people under his command go to the northwest to investigate, and it is best to catch some officials involved in this matter.

There is also evidence of bribery and bribery by officials in the northwest and the Ministry of Labor, so as not to let Xiao Ruoyun be beaten upside down and said that he was spewing blood.

Xiao Yanlin's thinking was clear and organized, and he gave the same orders, and the two lieutenants put forward some ideas from time to time, and the three of them discussed it again.

By the time the arrangement was almost over, it was already half an hour later.

Because this matter is very important, during this period, Gu Baiyu did not let his subordinates come in to serve, but poured tea for the three of them by himself.

After they finished chatting, Xiao Yanlin drank the residual tea in the cup and turned his gaze to Gu Baiyu: "Seeing that Madame was worried about this matter before, but now that the arrangements are made, what does Madame think, but what else is there to worry about?" ”

Gu Baiyu didn't expect Xiao Yanlin to ask herself, and shook her head: "Master Hou arranged it very well, you don't have to ask me, the lady of the back house, for these things." ”

Xiao Yanlin smiled, did not shy away from others, took her hand and sat down: "You are worried about your younger brother in the family, for the Hou Mansion, but also for fear that I will be implicated, and even more afraid that Xiao Ruoyun will get into trouble, Mrs. has thought a lot about me, so naturally you have to ask Mrs. what she means." If he is in the clouds, he should receive your affection even more. ”

Gu Baiyu was praised in front of outsiders, his face was a little embarrassed, and he withdrew his hand: "Master Hou, these things, let's talk about them later......"

She stood up, "Master Hou may have other matters to discuss with the two generals, I will go and order the kitchen to prepare some meals, and I will have a banquet at home today." ”

With that, get up and leave.

Behind him, there was a voice from Chang Zhinian who thought he had been depressed, but in fact, he could hear it outside the door: "Sister-in-law, is this shy?" ”

At the end, he said loudly outside the door: "Sister-in-law, prepare more wine, today I will definitely get back all the wine owed by the Hou Ye on the big day......"

Gu Baiyu paused, and then walked faster.
