Chapter 656: Overview of the White Mansion
Huang Xiaoxian understood, this person was listening to the room, and if they didn't have anything to do tonight, she wouldn't be able to explain it.
And Chunmei deliberately put a white scarf in the quilt before retreating, and deliberately let Huang Xiaoxian see it.
Of course Huang Xiaoxian understands what this means, she has watched a lot of movies and TV series, this is an old drama, but she is destined to not be able to complete the task, she even wants to make her nose bleed, and she doesn't dare to do it elsewhere, for fear that it will hurt too much.
What did the ancients think about the alliance of blood? Doesn't it hurt? Huang Xiaoxian began to feel worried.
The person on duty named Chunhong obviously didn't sleep, she came out and asked, "Young grandma, do you have any instructions?"
The only thing Huang Xiaoxian trusted now was Chunmei, glanced at her and said, "It's okay, you can rest." ”
Huang Xiaoxian couldn't sleep, and there was an extra man like this by her side, which made her feel awkward and awkward.
Huang Xiaoxian looked around and found that the furnishings in the room, in addition to some jade utensils, there were also some books in a cabinet, Huang Xiaoxian was overjoyed, and felt that he could read books when he couldn't sleep.
The book that Huang Xiaoxian took out from the cabinet, except for the occasional word recognition, she was like an illiterate person, she didn't even know the words, it was ridiculous, but she didn't guess a few words after reading it for a long time, she wondered if her age was a little older.
Huang Xiaoxian looked east and west, not knowing how to pass the time, when a soft voice came from the door: "Is the young grandmother asleep?"
Huang Xiaoxian was bored and said, "No, come in." ”
It was Chunmei who came in.
"Are you not used to it? ”
Chunmei always speaks softly, and compared to Huang Xiaoxian, she is more like a young lady from a big family.
"How long have you been in Baifu?" Huang Xiaoxian asked, she wanted to know about the situation in Baifu as soon as possible, although Xu's mother had briefly introduced it to herself, but Huang Xiaoxian had long forgotten, and besides, what Xu's mother said was true? After all, she was a little far away from Baifu.
"I was born here, and my mother used to be a wet nurse like your cousin, and then she didn't want to leave here, so she did an errand here, and now she is in the old man's mansion. ”
Huang Xiaoxian hurriedly asked: "How many mansions are there in the Bai family, we are the second master, are the eldest master and the third master in the same courtyard?"
"No, but the three mansions that are connected, we are in the middle, the left is the eldest master, and the right is the third master. ”
"So how do you tell the difference?"
"The big master's house is called the Great White Mansion, let's call it the White Mansion, and the third master's is called the Little White Mansion, anyway, it is written outside that the White Mansion, but people always call it that. ”
"Do you call it that yourself?" Huang Xiaoxian didn't give up, she hoped that there would be something like Rongguo Mansion and Ning Guofu.
"We basically call it the west or the east, the west is the big master, the east is the third master, we all call it the main hall. ”
"Is our lord's official the biggest?" Huang Xiaoxian felt that the other two masters in the Bai Mansion were quite polite to the second master at the banquet just now. ”
Chunmei gave her an approving look and said: "The master of our family is the father of the second master, he left three years ago, it turned out to be the fourth grade in the court, and the master of our family was the fourth grade ten years ago, the master went, he was quickly promoted to the third grade, and now he is the highest-ranking official in the Bai Mansion." ”
Huang Xiaoxian found that Chunmei was very cultured, and she was not ambiguous at all when she talked about these things, but Xu Ma was not, because she really didn't understand these things.
"That'...... Why isn't the old lady in our house?"
Chunmei smiled and said: "The old lady likes the third master very much, and the three daughters and eight sons of the third master's family ......"
Huang Xiaoxian shouted unconsciously, and asked again, "What about the uncle's house?"
"The uncle's family has five sons and five daughters...... And two more are pregnant. ”
"Do they all have tolerances?"
"Uncle now only receives Yulu but no errand, he didn't know what it was a while ago, it seems that something went wrong, and now there is no errand, it turns out that he is also a six-grade official. ”
"Where's the third master?"
"The third master is now a fifth-grade official, although the official rank is not small, but his errand doesn't seem to be too important, and the whole family is still counting on our master. ”
"Are all the young ladies of the Bai family here today? Why haven't I seen anyone?"
Chunmei was a little embarrassed, and when she saw Huang Xiaoxian's expectant eyes, she said, "They all came back, but ...... Maybe it's because I'm too busy, so I haven't seen you. ”
Huang Xiaoxian immediately understood, she was not qualified enough, and she didn't see better, so Huang Xiaoxian didn't bother to pay attention to them, there were so many people, where did she remember to come.
"Our family's Ninth Young Master is arranged according to the family?"
"Of course not, it's a big ranking. ”
"What a coincidence. ”
Chunmei nodded.
"Our master is a third grade?"
"Yes, now he is also a person who is particularly valued by the emperor, and it is possible to be promoted to the second grade in the future. ”
"Because of this, will the old lady be nicer to him?"
"It's okay, the main reason is that he doesn't have a son, the old lady values this very much, and wants the little master of the third master's family to succeed him, but the master of our family just refuses. ”
"Why does the second master dare to disobey his orders?"
"I don't dare, but the lord and the lady have said that they will definitely have a little master,"
"It's really strange, so many daughters don't have sons?
Chunmei shook her head and said: "Of course not, it was a disease when I was four years old and then fell into a problem, and it didn't work for several years, in the first few months, an old way came to the family, saying that the son should get married, maybe ...... Maybe you'll have offspring. ”
Chunmei blushed, I don't know if it aroused something on her mind.
"Just him, can he have children?" said Huang Xiaoxian disdainfully.
Chunmei's face turned red again and said, "Don't you dare to say that." ”
"Don't other people know that your young master has this problem?"
"I still know a little bit about it. ”
"Then you are still willing to marry?"
"The Bai family is now loved by the emperor, and there are many people who propose marriage. ”
"Then Miss Xia is a fierce one at first glance, what happened to her in the end?"
"I don't know the specifics of this, but I just heard a few words from my wife, saying that their family is about to sunset now, and it is worth it to find people all over the world to stammer, and to lose a daughter in exchange for a safe family background. ”
"There's no blood. Huang Xiaoxian said with emotion.
"Don't worry, don't look at the awkwardness of today, it will be fine soon, I heard from Mrs. that their Xia family still wants you to recognize them as your father-in-law, and the people who went back to the Xia family said that you look a little alike. ”
Huang Xiaoxian was confused, and he didn't understand when they had seen him.
