Matchmaking

  Bai Yue listened to Mu Zhu's words and started rushing towards the direction of the White Mansion. After charging into the mansion, he didn't see Bai Liu Li and Mu Zhu following him for a while, so he rushed out again. Seeing that the two were still walking slowly, he couldn't help but get angry again, "Hurry up, you're as slow as if you have no legs! I can run faster than you!"

  "Old Master Bai, Mu Xiang loves drinking tea, especially fond of Gu Zhu Zi Sun. If he can have Gu Zhu Zi Sun to drink while discussing matters, he will definitely be able to discuss the matter to your satisfaction." Mu Ze looked at Bai Yue who was returning with a furious expression and smiled somewhat awkwardly. Bai Yue's eyes lit up immediately and he laughed happily, saying "I'll go back to the manor right now to find some Gu Zhu Zi Sun, wait for me!"

  Finally, he warned Bai Luli, "You little scoundrel, this is my guest. If you scare him away, I'll break your legs!" After finishing speaking, Bai Yue rushed back to the mansion in a flurry.

  Bai Luli was silent, and Mu Ze didn't care about etiquette or not. He walked side by side with Bai Luli in a very casual manner, entering the White Mansion as if it were his own home. He used his folding fan to point at the scenery around him, frequently drawing strange glances from the servants of the White Mansion. Tong Ya repeatedly pulled on Mu Ze's sleeve to remind him that he was being impolite, but Mu Ze acted as if he hadn't noticed the strange looks and continued talking to himself.

  "Mu Suchen had just seen the Crown Prince leaving the mansion, and couldn't help but say with a chuckle, 'That face of his looked like he was about to choke on something.' Mu Zhen smiled mischievously as she asked Bai Liuli, seemingly oblivious to subtlety, 'Could it be that the master of the Bai family has driven our esteemed Crown Prince out of the mansion? If so, that would be truly interesting.'"

  "Is Master Mu here to watch the excitement or to discuss something?" White Lianlian didn't mind Mu Ze's rudeness at all, and didn't even give him a glance. Her tone was cold and detached from start to finish, "I'm not as idle as Master Mu."

  "It's a matter of course." Mu Ze smiled deeply, "And it's a big deal, a very good thing."

  "Is that so?" Bai Liuli quickened her pace, heading straight to the front hall of the reception room. "If it's an important matter, then please ask Mr. Mu to take a seat in the front hall and let's discuss it quickly."

  Mu Zhongzheng lowered his eyes to look at Bai Liuli's legs, and suddenly felt a black shadow swooping over the top of her head, involuntarily raising her head to gaze up at the vast sky.

  Only a pure black osprey was seen circling three or two circles under the vast sky above the White Mansion, and then it flapped its wings and left, flying towards the east.

  Pure black sea eagle, a divine bird among eagles, the overlord of the skies in the northern world, how can Ze country have it?

  After burning half an incense stick, I will receive guests in the front hall.

  Mo Yu took the tea cup from the maid, and habitually curled up the corners of his mouth. The maid immediately lost her soul, and it was a long time before she came back to herself in the cold voice of Bai Liu Li, her face red as she hastily retreated with her head lowered.

  "Master Mu has entered and had tea, can you tell me what brings you to my humble abode?" Bai Liuli took the teacup from the maid's hand but didn't take a sip, merely pinched the lid and gently scraped against the greenish-black tea liquid inside, her tone cold.

  "Hmm, look at my memory, I almost forgot something important." Mu Ze took a sip of tea and smiled as he gently tapped his head with a folding fan. His tone of sudden realization was completely inconsistent with the expression on his face. He clapped his hands lightly, "Someone, bring it up."

  As soon as Mu Ze's words fell, ten strong men came out of the courtyard one after another, two by two, carrying five large red lacquer boxes. They neatly arranged the five large boxes in the hall and quickly retreated. Bai Liu Li sat calmly in the main seat, seemingly unaffected by Mu Ze's sudden gift, her eyes scanning the five red lacquer boxes lightly, without even thinking of opening her mouth to ask questions first.

  For Bai Luli's silence, Mu Ze didn't feel awkward either, still smiling, using the folding fan in his hand to open the five large boxes one by one. Inside the five large boxes were high-quality fabrics, soft whips, dried herbs, and tea leaves.

  Mu Ze used a folding fan to point at the five boxes one by one, explaining as he pointed.

  "I've heard that the master of the White family likes to use various brocades to make clothes, and this is the style of brocade from all over the imperial capital."

  "I've heard that Master Bai enjoys using whips. These are all kinds of long whips made by famous craftsmen in the Imperial Capital."

  "I heard that Mr. Bai likes to collect medicinal herbs, and this is a collection of various precious medicines from the Imperial Hospital."

  "I heard Old Man Bai enjoys drinking tea, and these two boxes of dry tea are famous teas contributed from all over the place."

  Mo Yu finished packing the last box of tea leaves, then looked up at Bai Liuli who was sitting calmly and asked with a smile: "I wonder if these few boxes meet the requirements of Master Bai?"

  Bai Yue's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the tea leaves, and he rushed to the box, picked up a few dry tea leaves with his hands, and smelled them under his nose. He was so intoxicated that he kept saying it was good tea, and even forgot about the big things he had been expecting before.

  Behind the black veil, Bai Liuli gazed at the five boxes filled with goods, her eyes narrowing slightly. As the capital of Ze Guo was a city where masters of all trades gathered, she could tell at a glance that even one piece of brocade from that box alone would be worth half a year to a year's worth of food, drink and expenses for an ordinary family; let alone the other things.

  "What's the meaning of Master Mu being so generous to me?" Bai Liuli withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to take a sip of tea.

  This seemingly carefree and arrogant young master, what kind of unknown heart does he have, that no matter when, can always smile with ease, his thoughts are often the deepest.

  "Matchmaker." Mu Ze sat back down in his chair, crossing his legs and watching Bai Liusi with great interest.

  Bai Luli smiled shallowly, "I've only heard that women make matches, but I didn't expect Young Master Mu to also like doing things that women's families like to do. I wonder which family wants to marry my sister as a virtuous daughter-in-law?"

  She was delighted to arrange a "good" marriage for Bai Zhenzhu.

  "No, no." But who would have thought that Mu Ze would shake his fan repeatedly, looking at Bai Liuli with a deep smile, "Mu certain wants to say the object of matchmaking is not Pearl Girl, but you, Master Bai."

  Bai Liuli was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "Young Master Mu, are you certain that the person you want to propose to is me, Bai?"

  "It's exactly." Mu Ze listened to Bai Liusu's sudden soft laughter, and his smiling eyes sank slightly.

  Bai Liuli's smile grew even more, she took off the veil on her head, revealing her face wrapped in gauze. She slowly walked to Mu Zhen's front, her eyes filled with thick laughter, and tucked the hair hanging by her ear behind it. Although she was smiling and speaking, her voice and gaze gave people a feeling that could pierce through ice. "Let Mu young master and Bai certain discuss, which family wants to form an alliance with the first evil woman whose appearance has been ruined?"

  "The ghost king in the mouths of the people, Baili Yunxiao." Mu Zhen stared tightly at Bai Liuli's eyes, as if wanting to see something from her pupils.

  Her eyes suddenly darkened like a cold pool.

  Is it him?
