"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, thank you for your gift."
Congcong also nodded vigorously to show his satisfaction
"Madam Rongfu, Lord Marquis, please stand up. The Emperor has also sent a seal."
The emperor giving him a seal meant that he would have an official position in the future, not just an idle title. Everyone was surprised. This was too much of an honor for the young marquis. No one knew if he would go astray in the future, but he was given an official seal.
Bai Zhiyue could only say that no matter who has a crooked face, Doudou would not do that, my son is a good one, and she was very satisfied with the emperor's attitude.
Eunuch Gao placed the seal in the middle of the items for the first birthday celebration.
She put the beans on the carpet and let him choose
Doudou can already walk, and he walks very steadily in front of her. With so many outsiders around, he just sways a little.
He walked to the middle of the place with a shaky step, looked around pretentiously, and then picked up the seal given by the emperor.
Immediately the host sang
"By virtue of heaven and ancestors, your career will be prosperous!"
There was a chorus of congratulations from below, and Eunuch Gao was also satisfied. The young marquis chose the seal bestowed by the emperor at once, which gave the emperor face.
Bai Zhiyue was not far from Princess Jiayang, and with her sensitive ears she heard her cursing softly.
[Be happy, I'll let you be happy for a while. I'll make you cry later. Your Majesty is truly blind. He actually praised this vicious woman like this.]
【Hey, I can make another fortune today! 】
The princess cannot be killed, beaten or blackmailed.
The second thing he picked up was a brush, which he waved twice in the air, as if splashing ink.
"Splashing ink and writing beautiful articles, and passing the imperial examinations~"
For the third item, Doudou looked around and pulled out a golden abacus from a pile of items. He picked it up and stuffed it into Bai Zhiyue's arms.
"Attract wealth and fortune, and bring in abundant financial resources~"
"Incredible, incredible! This means a prosperous career in the government and both literary talent and wealth!"
"The young marquis has a bright future."
"At such a young age, you already know that good things should be given to your wife. Madam Rongfu, just wait and enjoy your life in the future!"
After the ceremony, everyone sat down and started the banquet
Various exquisite pastries had already been laid out on the table, all of which were the most popular in the shop. Each person received a small cream cake, decorated with some berries sent from the farm. They were all wild fruits, each one bursting with juice, fragrant, sweet and sour, and very popular.
The children who couldn't wait had already eaten a few bites, but they were still not satisfied and wanted more, so the adults had to give their share to the children.
"Sister Bai, I helped promote your pastry shop, so you should at least give me a free portion of our pastries. I have to queue up every day and sometimes I can't even buy any."
Qi asked Bai Zhiyue
"No problem. I won't make too much at first. The most important thing is that it can't be kept for an hour when it's hot. It has to be eaten fresh. If you want to eat it in the future, just place an order a day in advance. You don't have to wait in line. Once it's ready, someone will deliver it to your house as quickly as possible."
"That's great! From now on, we just need to send someone to place the order!"
“We also ordered it at home.”
Everyone is very excited about it now and wants to eat a few pieces every day, so almost every family has to place an order.
"I'm happy that everyone likes me, but I still have to make one thing clear: eating too much sweets can make you fat. Don't come back and blame me when you become fat!"
Everyone laughed again. The nobles all paid great attention to their figure, especially the little girls, who would definitely allow themselves to eat until they got fat.
The banquet went smoothly. When Bai Zhiyue was wondering whether the emperor had caught all those who wanted to take action, Qinglian beside her was called out.
After returning, whisper in her ear
"Bai Yonglian from the cloth shop reported that someone had captured Mo Yansong. She discovered him and quietly followed him to our house. She said he had already entered the house."
Bai Yonglian has been doing embroidery work in the cloth shop now. She used to live in the backyard, but later when more people worked in the yard, she moved back to the small yard she bought. Every time she went to the cloth shop to get or hand in work, she went through the back door.
When she went to get her work today, she saw someone carrying out a sack from the back door. It was still twisting, and it was obviously a human figure. She hid in the dark and saw them put the person in a carriage and take him away.
He hurried into the farm and found that the shopkeeper was not there, the young man was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground, and the embroiderer who lived in the backyard did not come out either.
She called out several times but no one answered. She didn't know what had happened and was afraid that if she delayed too long, she would lose those people. After finding the carriage, she followed it all the way to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion.
No matter how you think about it, it's impossible that it was done by Mrs. Bai. If she had just called the person to her house to talk, she could have just done it. Why did she have to do this? There must be something wrong.
I wanted to see Bai Zhiyue, but I couldn't enter the mansion without an invitation, so I could only ask the doorman to call Qinglian over.
"Someone captured Mo Yansong and brought him to our house?"
"Yes, I have already sent people to search!"
"Has anyone been brought in?"
“In the side hall”
Bai Zhiyue walked quickly to the side hall, where Bai Yonglian was sitting with her head down. Among the people outside were some people she once knew. They were feeling somewhat inferior and didn't want to see anyone, so they stood up quickly when they saw her come in.
"lady!"
"Sit down. Did you see them enter the mansion with your own eyes?"
"I didn't dare to follow too closely, but I did send the person into the mansion. He sneaked in with the people who delivered the food through the back door. However, those people might be good at fighting, so it was easy for two of them to carry Manager Mo."
"If I ask you to identify it, can you recognize it?"
"Yes, I saw the faces of the two people carrying the people while hiding in the dark at the back door of the cloth shop."
"Okay, Qinglian, you arrange for her to stay in the guest room and have her identify the person after we catch him! Have Tian Fuwei take someone to check out the cloth shop and report to the police."
"yes"
"Thank you, Yonglian, for telling me. Please stay in the mansion for the time being and wait for my news!"
"Okay, that's all I should do. Madam, please go and get busy. The banquet can't be without a host!"
At this time Congcong flew over
[Yueyue, someone sent a sack to your bedroom with a man inside. Did you order it? You should always choose a good-looking man. I looked at that guy for you, and he's too average-looking and not too young.]
[What do you mean I ordered it? Do I need to be secretive when looking for a man? Bah, why would I get a man on a day like today? Are you stupid?]
[So someone gave it to me?]
Someone must have wanted to embarrass me, and they even chose someone they know, the owner of the shop I own. Ha! Where did the gift go?
【I asked No. 1 to follow! 】
Bai Zhiyue wrote a note
[Hand it over to the Shadow Guard, have him capture the man and lock him up in a deserted room. Send Shopkeeper Mo back to manage the shop and prevent chaos.]
[Okay, let’s go!]
"Mother, it must have been Jiayang or Qu Yinghong who did this. They are the two with the worst intentions among the people who came today."
"It could also be someone from Wanshan Pavilion. Let's go out and you can confirm which one it is."
The two of them left the side hall and deliberately stayed where they were.
"The mother is Jiayang, and the one who helped her was her uncle's cousin. He had always liked her but couldn't get her. Jiayang took advantage of his affection and said that as long as he could do it, he would give him a chance."
"You're really good at making promises, but even if you give me a chance, it won't work!"
"Not only did she use her cousin, she also had me drug your wine. Just now when we left, the maidservant next to her made an excuse to go over and talk to Hongying, and when she wasn't paying attention, she slipped a pill into your wine. It wasn't a good one!"
