Chapter 242 The future head of civil officials is actually like this

This mahjong set was made of wood by Li Mumu and her brothers, and they also drew it themselves. Although it is a bit simple, it is still fun.

Even Mr. Bai couldn't help but come over to take a look when he heard the voices of the younger generation, and he became addicted after just one look.

Both mahjong and chess have their own merits, but compared to chess, which requires careful consideration and thinking ten steps ahead, mahjong is relatively simpler.

Although it is simple, it is very fun.

When Mr. Bai learned that this thing was thought up by Li Mumu, he praised it highly.

"Mumu is quite elusive."

Gu Jian said proudly: "Of course, our family would lose a lot of fun without this little girl."

Mr. Bai looked at Li Mumu and smiled. "Mumu, go check on your brothers and see how their studies are going. Are they being naughty or disobedient?"

Li Mumu saw that only adults were left in the room, and Mr. Bai sent her out again, fearing that he had something important to discuss.

"Okay, I heard the bell ringing. My brothers should be resting now."

Grandpa Bai praised him, then looked at Gu Jian opposite him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Gu Jian said guiltily.

"That child..."

"What's wrong with Twilight?"

"You know I'm not talking about Mumu!" Old Master Bai said, "Even though it was just a glance, I could tell. Gu Jian, you're quite courageous, old man. This is a heinous crime punishable by the death of your entire clan."

Gu Jian knew that because the old man came so suddenly, Xie Xun must have been seen.

He has not appeared in everyone's sight at the moment, but the old man in white is an old fox.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Our Mumu has helped you, don't repay kindness with hatred."

"What are you talking about!" Old Master Bai snorted coldly, "Am I that kind of person? Don't you know why I came here?"

He originally supported the prince.

"I don't know, and don't say anything. He's our Mumu's adopted husband. Mumu picked him up. What does it have to do with you?"

Mr. Bai was a shrewd man. He smiled and stroked his beard. "So he's the grandson-in-law you're eyeing. I thought our Hao Yan is also an outstanding young man, but you look down on him. If it's him, then I have nothing to say."

"He's just a lucky guy, able to protect our Mumu from disaster. He's a country kid who lost his parents when he was young, so how can he be outstanding? You must have made a mistake."

Mr. Bai smiled and said, "Yes, I was mistaken, but... he allowed me to talk to him."

Gu Jian frowned.

"I'm just talking. Don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say."

Gu Jian thought that since he had already seen the person, there was no point in stopping him.

"Mingyu, go see what Xie Xun is doing? Ask him to come over and meet the elders."

Gu Mingyu nodded, then went out to find Xie Xun.

Xie Xun didn't enter the house because he didn't want anyone to discover his identity.

"Why are you here? The old man asked you to come in and meet the elders." Gu Mingyu said truthfully.

Xie Xun's eyes tightened, and he asked worriedly, "Can I see him?"

"The old man said that there shouldn't be any problem if he lets you see him."

"Did he recognize me?" Xie Xun asked.

Gu Mingyu nodded, unsure if he knew the origins of the Bai family, and explained, "The old man of the Bai family was implicated in your father's incident and ended up in this situation. He even risked his life to make it clear, but it angered Long Yanse."

"Is he my father's man?" Xie Xun asked again.

He naturally knew some things, but he didn't know as much as the Gu family.

Gu Mingyu shook his head, "Actually... not really."

"No...but why are you willing to pay such a huge price to plead for my father?" Xie Xun asked in surprise.

“That’s what’s so valuable.”

Xie Xun nodded, "Okay then."

He had no reason to doubt the people the Gu family trusted.

After all, if there is only one person in this world who treats him well, that person is from the Gu family.

Old Master Bai looked at Xie Xun who came in. He was a little dazed, as if the gentle prince in bright yellow had appeared again.

To be precise, he doesn't look very much like the former crown prince, but if you look closely, his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to the former crown prince. If you look even more closely, his eyes are sharp, unlike the former crown prince who is indifferent to worldly affairs.

He asked his sons to leave as well, and Gu Mingyu naturally followed him out, leaving the two old men and Xie Xun some time to be alone together.

Li Mumu brought some food to the school. The two children of the Bai family were not familiar with everyone and had not played together yet.

Li Mumu should first distribute the food to all the children. You can’t be partial to some, right?

This is also the reason why everyone likes Li Mumu. No one will say anything if she walks around the village arrogantly.

When there was some left, she gave it to the two brothers of the Bai family.

"Thank you, sister Mumu, we won't eat anymore." Bai Haochu has a gentle temperament and gives people the feeling that he is easy to get along with.

Bai Haoyan, on the other hand, is covered in thorns, like a hedgehog.

"Eat, everyone has some."

When Bai Haochu saw that all the children here had food, he grabbed a handful of peanuts and shared them with his younger brother.

"I don't want to eat anymore." Bai Haoyan gave people a very awkward feeling, as if someone had provoked him.

"Then I'll eat." Bai Haochu was afraid that Li Mumu would be unhappy. "It's cold, you should go back quickly."

Although it is early spring, the north heats up slowly and cools down early, so the real summer is also very short.

Although the sunlight was a bit dazzling at this moment and melted the snow into water on the ground, the temperature was not high.

Li Mumu ignored Bai Haoyan's difficulty in getting close to her. She knew that the younger generations of the Bai family were also very promising and would be her future loyal ministers, so it was necessary to maintain good relations with them.

"Brother Haochu, are you guys used to it?"

"It's a habit. Aunt Gu taught me very well."

"But these are all very simple, we have clearly learned them all." Bai Haoyan muttered.

"Hao Yan, even if you've learned it before, there's nothing wrong with learning it again."

"But why don't the children of the Gu family have to learn?" Bai Haoyan said.

"The Gu family has their reasons for not wanting to learn. The Gu family is a family of military commanders, and I believe that in the future, the brothers will also focus on martial arts, supplemented by literature. We are different. You must not have such thoughts. If Second Uncle and Grandpa find out, you will be scolded again."

Bai Haoyan snorted.

"Don't pay attention to him, he got up too early this morning." Bai Haochu explained.

Li Mumu nodded. She would not bother with the little brat.

But who would have thought that the future most powerful civil official would be a guy who only sleeps in bed?

"These peanuts are really delicious. Besides the fragrance, they have other flavors." Bai Haochu said in surprise.
