Mrs. Lu turned to look at her, and Yang Momo shook her head at her.
Bai Youyou was not in a hurry either. She leisurely picked up a piece of plum cake and ate it in small bites.
After a long while, Bai Luochuan finally nodded, "Okay, I'll take the bet."
After saying that, he got up and left without taking anything.
Mrs. Lu got angry when she saw him like that, "Why did I give birth to such a rebellious son!"
She cursed, but her eyes were full of disappointment.
"Mom, don't be angry. I will change in the future."
Bai Youyou comforted her for a while, then took Xiaoju back to her own yard.
Xiaoju followed her with the brocade box in her arms and asked curiously, "Miss, do you think the Second Young Master can really change his temper in the future?"
"It's not so easy for a person to change his character."
Bai Youyou smiled, "The truth that can make a fool recognize is never preaching, but hitting the wall. Only when he hits his head and bleeds, and suffers, will he realize his mistakes."
Xiaoju is only twelve now. He tilted his head and thought carefully before saying, "Then the Second Young Master will probably have to suffer a few more times."
"Well, I have to suffer a few more times."
Bai Youyou nodded in agreement.
It is definitely impossible to completely change him just this once. Only by breaking his bones and reassembling them can a brand new Bai Luochuan appear.
The moon in the sky is as round as a disk, and the moonlight is like water.
When Aunt Qiao first saw the things in Li He's arms, her eyes lit up.
But when she opened a set of gilded headwear, she pursed her lips and looked a little unhappy, "Husband, did you pick this headwear yourself?"
She lowered her eyes. Bai Yanlang was drinking hot tea and didn't notice her change. He held the tea bowl and smiled to take credit for himself, "How are they? They are all good things, right? I picked them out one by one. Lu was reluctant to give them away."
"Why did you choose this set of gilded headwear? Isn't there anything else?"
This gilded headpiece only looks pretty, but is actually not worth much.
In previous Chinese New Years, the things distributed by the eldest wife were similar to these, but the good things were always kept by their side.
Moreover, her Yaoyao will attend the prince's plum blossom viewing banquet in a few days. How can she wear such crude and shoddy things?
Bai Yanlang didn't know what she was thinking, so he smiled and said, "I didn't see anything else, only this set of gilded headgear. I saw it and took it."
Aunt Qiao knew that Bai Youyou had taken the good stuff first.
She closed the lid and said, "Yaoyao will be attending the prince's plum blossom viewing banquet in a few days. Have you told Madam about it?"
Bai Yanlang paused in his tea drinking, and then he remembered why he went to see Lu.
"Haha." He smiled awkwardly and touched the back of his head guiltily, "I was so busy getting things back that I forgot to tell Lu about this."
Before Aunt Qiao could get angry, he quickly added, "I'll go talk to her tomorrow."
Aunt Qiao wiped her tears with a handkerchief and glared at him, "I think you just don't care about us mother and son. You can even forget such an important thing."
"Back then in the peach forest outside the capital, you said that you and Lu were only married because of your parents' arrangement and that you had no feelings for her. I was attracted to you and in order to be with you, I was willing to humiliate myself and become your concubine. Now, only a few years have passed, have you forgotten the oath you made to me?"
"how come?"
Bai Yanlang quickly stepped forward, put his arm around her shoulders, and hugged her gently, "I have never forgotten my promise to you. Jiaojiao, please don't blame me. I was delayed by other things."
"What is more important than our daughter?"
"It's about the invitation from Master Mo."
Bai Yanlang was afraid that she would be angry, so he told her everything except the matter about Zhuangzi, and also told her his next plans.
Aunt Qiao was very excited when she heard the invitation from Mo Daru, "Is this feasible?"
Bai Yanlang was confident and said in a cold tone, "I asked Luochuan to draw the lot in front of my mother and eldest brother. If he didn't win, then it's not my fault as the father."
"My husband is really resourceful."
Qiao leaned shyly in his arms.
Thinking that what Bai Youyou had worked so hard to obtain was finally shared by her own son, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The cold wind was howling outside, and the winter plum blossoms in the yard were blooming.
Early in the morning, Bai Muchen came excitedly with one thousand taels of silver in his hand.
He placed the banknote in front of Aunt Qiao, his expression excited, "Mother, I bought the Ziyun Inkstone yesterday morning, and someone bought it from me at a high price in the afternoon."
Aunt Qiao picked up the silver bills and counted them. There were ten bills of one hundred taels each.
She was very surprised. "You made two hundred taels of silver just by buying and selling?"
Bai Muchen lowered his jaw and said, "Mom, I told you that I will buy you rouge and powder when I make money. You can spend these two hundred taels of silver."
Aunt Qiao smiled from ear to ear, "My son is so filial."
"Mom, yesterday I took a fancy to a set of four treasures of the study again. They were used by the great scholar Zhuang in the previous dynasty. If I sell this set, I think I can make more money."
"How much silver do you need?"
"Not much, only one thousand two hundred taels."
"Just wait, I'll get it for you."
There are already one thousand taels of silver notes here, and only another two hundred taels are needed to buy it. Aunt Qiao did not hesitate and went to her inner room to take out two hundred taels of silver notes.
When Bai Muchen was happily leaving with the silver bill, he happened to meet Bai Youyou who was leisurely strolling in the garden.
He touched the thick stack of banknotes hidden in front of him, and his eyes rolled around.
Perhaps he thought of something interesting, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and with one hand behind his back, he deliberately turned into a corridor and walked in front of Bai Youyou.
"Fourth sister, the treasure-hunting building has found a rare item called a revolving lantern. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Bai Youyou did not miss the calculation in his eyes and sneered in her heart.
Before she came here, the original owner was tricked by the brother and sister into going to the outskirts of Beijing, where they bribed a few thugs and disguised themselves as bandits in an attempt to kidnap the original owner.
At that time, the original owner happened to meet the third prince who was riding a horse in the suburbs of Beijing. Those ruffians recognized his identity and fled.
In fact, even if they had not met the Third Prince, they could not do anything to Bai Youyou. After all, Lu Qi was not a pushover.
How are you going to trick her this time?
Bai Youyou's almond-shaped eyes lit up slightly, and she asked innocently, "Revolving lantern? Is it fun?"
"It's a rare thing. I heard it can rotate automatically. It's really pretty." Bai Muchen coaxed, "There are a lot of rare things there. Today, Third Brother happens to be free, so I'll take you to have a look."
Bai Youyou followed him into the carriage, and Bai Muchen asked the servant to drive the carriage directly to the Treasure Hunting Tower.
When they arrived near the Treasure Hunting Tower, Bai Youyou followed him out of the carriage.
As soon as he stood still, a man in a dark blue brocade robe came quickly towards him, holding a gray package in his arms.
"Mr. Bai, you are here."
