Chapter 377: Explanation
After Wan Congyuan left, Bai Xiyun did not go back to the bedroom immediately. He stood under the porch, unconsciously flicking his right index finger, and did not say a word for a long time.
It is undeniable that today's meeting with Wan Congyuan was in a good mood beyond his expectations. I thought he would be disgusted, irritable, and would politely invite people back after a few words, even if it was his own grandfather, he had never gotten along, and only blood connection was what was it for him?
However, in today's conversation, although there are mutual probes, there are also conflicts of interest, and there are also scrutiny of his behavior by the older generation, Wan Congyuan is a smart person, and he did not accuse him face-to-face and had a disagreement with him. It is undeniable that the role of this grandfather is particularly novel and interesting in his eyes.
He was raised under the name of the Zhang family and met the Zhang family, but the foreign family never gave him any intimacy and warmth. Now that he is an adult, he doesn't expect any love, but getting along with Wan Congyuan can bring him such fun, which is really rare.
"Second brother, are you okay. Guan Junyan watched from the side for a long time, and saw that Bai Xiyun's face was complicated, and he was always silent, worried that he was unhappy and tired, so he cautiously stepped forward to ask.
Bai Xiyun walked out of his thoughts at this time, turned around, his face was hidden in the shadows, but his smile was extraordinarily natural: "I'm fine, it's just that I'm distracted." ”
"That's good. Guan Junyan naturally didn't believe it.
He knew that Bai Xiyun's life was miserable, and he understood that it was not easy for him to struggle for many years, and now he was so easy to get through, the willows and flowers were clear, and the person who was most capable of helping him did not appear at the most difficult moment, but this time he came to the front, and he felt desolate when he was seen by an outsider, not to mention Bai Xiyun, the party.
It's just that they are all men, and they are from the family, and it's not good for the girls to worry about these things, and it's not easy to comfort anything, so he doesn't say much.
Bai Xiyun went back to the bedroom.
Qi Miao had already washed properly, and at this time she put on a small jacket embroidered with light purple silver thread magnolia flowers, leaning on the dark green splendid elastic ink soft pillow to support her bulging abdomen and pretend to sleep. Her tea-white skirt spread out on the dark green mattress, like a blooming flower, and her long black and supple hair hung down at her side, reflecting with the light purple jacket and snow-white middle coat.
This scene fell in Bai Xiyun's eyes, like a moving painting. He couldn't bear to speak, for fear of disturbing the peace of the moment.
Qi Miao was worried about Bai Xiyun and was not asleep at the moment. Sensing someone beside him, he immediately opened his eyes.
The apricot eyes are moist, and there is a faint fog when I first wake up, which makes people feel like a cat gently scratching it. I can't rub people into my arms, so I cherish them.
"Did I wake you up?"
"No, I wasn't asleep either. Is there something big going on there?"
"It's not a big deal. Don't worry. Bai Xiyun knew Qi Miao's temperament, if she didn't explain it to her, she would definitely bother to guess, and she couldn't guess what she could guess under her thoughts, so she sat down next to her, hugged her shoulder and smiled and told her what was important and good.
Qi Miao pondered for a moment and said, "In the end, it's my grandfather, it's good to maintain such a relationship." If you are too close, it will make people think that you are mediocre, too far away and it is difficult to ensure that people will not feel cold, and now such a proper distance, not too far, not too close, maintain a sense of mystery, and often be able to bring him some impact, which is also a good thing. ”
Bai Xiyun's eyes were as bright as cold stars, looking at her with a sparkling light, and instructed her to hook her small chin lightly, and now she stole a fragrant kiss on her lips: "Good girl, it's really my person." ”
When the maidservants saw that it was Bai Xiyun like this, they had already fled with their heads down and their cheeks crimson.
Qi Miao gasped slightly, her cheeks were hot, and she glared at him uncomfortably: "Call you like this, let people see what it has become." ”
"What are you afraid of? In our own boudoir, are you still afraid of being seen?" Bai Xiyun put his arm around her shoulder, stroked her abdomen with his big hand, and said with a smile: "You are like this, I can't do anything to you, in the future, the child will give birth smoothly, and there will be a nursing grandmother to take it, how will it really be when the time comes, wouldn't it be even more impossible to call the girl to see? I think those little girls' families are too thin-skinned, it is better to match them to someone earlier, they are all daughters-in-law, and they can let go." ”
"You, you are talking more and more disregarding the front and back!" the fist slapped his shoulder, not painful or itchy, causing Bai Xiyun to laugh.
The laughter of the two came out, so that the subordinates who were waiting outside couldn't help but be infected and smile when they heard it.
Guan Junyan stood at the moon gate, and when she heard Bai Xiyun's relaxation, she put her mind at ease, not only sighed in her heart, but fortunately there was a Qi Miao, she was not only Bai Xiyun's life-saving benefactor, but also his interpretation flower. If you think about it, God can't bear to force a good person like Bai Xiyun to a dead end, and always has to give him some life.
A good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Bai Xiyun and Qi Miao had breakfast, and said: "Later, I will go to find His Royal Highness King De, as soon as the donation comes out, I am afraid that it will cause jealousy and hatred, so I have to think of ways to make up for it." ”
Qi Miao naturally understood Bai Xiyun's concerns, "I don't know much about King De's temperament, but he will definitely blame you for not telling him earlier." But for the sake of being as rich as you, I may still maintain the past relationship with you. ”
This is too realistic. ”
"But that's the reality. Qi Miao put down the lid cup of white porcelain depicting red plums, and sighed: "I know that you are like a mirror in your heart. Don't be sad, some things are destined, it's going to rain and you have to get married, and you can't do it. ”
Bai Xiyun was originally a little sad and helpless, but she couldn't help laughing because of her words.
Stretching out his arm, he pinched her cheek through a few small points, and the tentacles were tender and smooth, as if the faint fragrance of her body lingered on his fingertips and cuffs.
"I see. Hello was born at home, the road outside is icy, and it is very wet and cold, so you don't want to go out and walk around. If you're bored, just take a walk around your room. ”
"Got it. Qi Miao smiled and said: "If you say this ten times or eight times a day, you will soon become an old mother, well, Mother Bai!"
"You little villain!" Bai Xiyun got up and scratched her itch, didn't dare to move too much to make her feel fetal, and finally used her from behind, bowed down with satisfaction and rested his chin on her shoulder. Bury her neck and breathe in the warm and elegant aroma.
Bai Xiyun's voice was muffled: "As long as I can do this with you every day, I don't care about anything else." "What country, what career, where can he join hands with his beloved.
Maybe when others see him like this, they will say that he is not promising.
But he didn't care.
People who have died once know what they care about best, and they know what matters most.
"You come back early, let's eat the pot at noon." I will personally command the men to prepare later. ”
Bai Xiyun kissed her on the cheek: "Why is it so good?"
"I know you like this, I use medicinal herbs to make sure you don't get angry, and it just so happens that you can have a drink with the eldest brother and third brother when you come back." ”
"Good. Gentle words, warm jade and warm fragrance, Bai Xiyun fell into Qi Miao's gentleness, and he didn't want to leave at all.
But you can't slack off on what you have to do.
Bai Xiyun and Guan Junyan went out together, and took a carriage straight to King De's mansion.
There is no court meeting today, and the second prince is talking to his staff in the study. Hearing that it was Bai Xiyun who asked to see him, his face sank.
"Lord Wang, Bai Zijin must have come here to talk to you about donations. ”
The man who spoke was about forty years old, of medium height, dressed in a dark gray shirt, with uneven skin and a slightly hooked nose, but his eyes were very sharp.
He is a powerful staff member under King De, surnamed Wu Mingmin, and his expression is Yingzan.
Because of the friendship between King De and Bai Xiyun since childhood, he trusts Bai Xiyun the most on weekdays, and the words of others are not as good as Bai Xiyun's casual advice, because Wu Min is very unaccustomed to Bai Xiyun.
This time, I learned that Bai Xiyun was actually the mastermind behind the JETC number, thinking about the time when the JATSU number was founded, and found out the temperament of King De, only slightly added or subtracted a few words, and saw the change in King De's face with satisfaction.
The second prince pursed his lips, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
It turned out that although Bai Xiyun was sick, he was not a poor person.
It turned out that when he was lingering on the sickbed, he still had the ability to make a big deal, and even his father praised Bai Xiyun as a "genius in the world" when he learned about it.
In front of Bai Xiyun, he has always had a sense of superiority. He is a noble prince, he is the son of a commoner, he is strong, but he is dying, he has a bright future, but he hovers on the line of life and death all day long, and it is too late to fight with those dirty methods in the inner house, and there is no time to care about it.
But now?
Now it seems that Bai Xiyun needs sympathy? He has even overtaken himself in everything!
His compassion for so many years was wrongly paid!
The second prince attributed his awkward jealousy to the loss and anger of being overdue. With a calm face, he immediately commanded: "Please come in." ”
Wu Min immediately stood behind the second prince.
Bai Xiyun entered the study, left Guan Junyan outside the door, and saluted the second prince as usual.
If the second prince saw him in the past, he would have excused him and pulled him to speak. Today, he looked at him with a calm face, and did not mean to get him up immediately.
Bai Xiyun shook his head secretly. This is what King Toku is capable of. Such emotions are exposed, and they can't stabilize their minds like this, but they are very similar to the Bai family.
His face didn't move, since the second prince let him kneel, kneel over there. He doesn't care, and he will never give it to anyone. At this time, opening his mouth to explain turned into begging, and he became the weaker party.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wu Min's mocking expression, and his heart became even more measured.
King De saw that Bai Xiyun's expression was as usual, and he was polite and gentle, and he let him kneel like this, as if he was bullying a patient, and he had become the one who was unreasonable.
