Chapter 18: Gossip
When he came back from the house a few days later, Qiu Ling brought back good news. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Bai Qiyu was in a very good mood and rewarded a few personal maids, "This is our common happy event, and we will have more silver to spend in the future!"
Although he was happy, Qiushui still said angrily, "Miss, you only have a few pieces of silver left, and you are spending so much!"
Bai Qiyu smiled and said, "I'll take it for you, why do you want so much, when you choose an auspicious day and the shop opens, the silver will roll in!"
Qiu Ling on the side hesitated, "Miss, how can you conclude that Xu Zhixing's mother and son are reliable people?"
"I was worried about this when I first agreed to go to his house, but since I met his mother, I have nothing to worry about. Bai Qiyu said and asked Qiu Ling, "I don't know if you have paid attention to Xu Mu's words and deeds?"
Qiu Ling was stunned, and then said in surprise, "This, I really think it's unusual for Miss to say this, not to mention that Xu Zhixing has an excellent personality, and that Aunt Xu seems to be polite and generous, not like the style of an ordinary poor family, but like a ...... It's like ....."
Bai Qiyu nodded, "You're right, don't say anything else, just the name Xu Zhixing is not like someone as poor as them...... If my guess is correct, presumably the Xu family was also the home of poetry and etiquette, and now although it is in decline, the cultural heritage is still there. ”
Although Qiushui didn't know much about these, he also knew something from them, and nodded approvingly at the moment, "It seems that he is usually called a nickname dog, and since Mother Xu told Miss about the name, she must also have a sense of trust." ”
"That's right, I'm relieved to hand over the store to them. ”
"It's best this way, you can make money without exposing it, but miss, I'm afraid you don't have enough inventory, right?" Qiu Ling worried.
Bai Qiyu raised his eyebrows, "Who said I was going to use those stocks of my own?"
Qiushui was also puzzled, "Isn't Miss going to sell these?"
"Of course, to sell, but now is not the time, not to mention, my inventory, see the right time, put it in the right place, it is very valuable, how can I put it out and sell it cheaply?
After Bai Qiyu said, Qiushui and Qiuling both nodded in agreement, and then said, "What kind of business does the young lady plan to do in this shop?"
"Of course, it's the balsam gouache business, you know, women's money is the best to make, especially those rich women who value their faces more than their lives. ”
Here Yi Tingxuan has been happy and lively for a few days, but the painting wind garden is sad for days.
Not to mention anything else, just the bead who was not in a good position was enough to make Bai Shihua annoyed, and then found out that he had the opportunity to take the lead, and now that the other two people knew about it, his heart was even more annoying, and the maid and woman in the courtyard were trembling for a few days, and Xiaoxi was even more restrained, wishing that the fourth lady could not see her existence.
The curtain on the door shook slightly, and a maid whispered, "Fourth Miss, Aunt Yang is here." ”
"Let her in. Bai Shihua impatiently threw the handkerchief she was embroidering on the kang table.
Before the words fell, a figure had already lifted the curtain and entered the room like the wind, and the little maid cautiously withdrew to serve tea.
Bai Shihua looked at Aunt Yang who was sitting on the opposite side of the kang table with a displeased face, and said angrily, "What are you doing at this time?"
Aunt Yang picked a lake-green handkerchief and wiped her fingers and said, "You also have the ability to shake your face at me, I didn't see you say a word in front of that slut." ”
"Okay, I'm messy enough here, don't block me anymore, come early in the morning, what are you going to say?" Bai Shihua frowned impatiently.
The maid served the tea and quickly retreated.
Aunt Yang leaned forward and approached Bai Shihua and said, "It's not just you, this thing that everyone in the Bai Mansion is puzzled about, and finally I have completely figured it out." ”
Bai Shihua said with a little surprise, "You mean ......?"
"It seems that my original guess was really right, your two sisters are really born of that goblin...... Aunt Nalan has two daughters for nothing......" Aunt Yang said this hidden secret, and she was a little nervous and quite happy.
It's no wonder that none of these fighting women in the mansion are distorted.
Bai Shihua couldn't help but think of the incident of Bai Qiyu falling into the water when she was swimming in the lake that day, she originally thought that after she woke up, she would cry and make a fuss, but she never thought that she would have amnesia, so they didn't watch the long-awaited show.
"Where did you find out about these things?"
Aunt Yang smiled mysteriously, "Let's not talk about anything else, just look at the appearance of the two girls, they were young in the early years, and they can't see it, but in the past two years, it has become more and more a sign of decline, and the old man with eyes in the house can see it, and the living is carved out of a mold of Aunt Xia, and everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, but because of the coercion of Mrs., they didn't say it." ”
Bai Shihua said, "Madame must have known these things from the beginning, otherwise how could she let this kind of thing happen under her nose?"
"Who knows. Aunt Yang pinched the pastry and ate it, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Don't say it, just like this, Mrs. will not give them a good one, you know, Mrs. hates the goblin the most in her life is the goblin surnamed Xia." ”
"I'm not interested in those things between you, what are you trying to tell me by saying so much?"
Aunt Yang said mysteriously again, "You don't know this, since Madam wants the three of you to follow into Beijing, it must have been arranged a long time ago, maybe there is someone who wants to enter the palace, and this person can only be you...... Do you think, the palace is such a good place, how could she let the two daughters of the fairy go in and enjoy the blessings?" Then he gently knocked on the table and said with a final word, "So, it must be you who can enter the palace." ”
Bai Shihua couldn't help but laugh, "Do you really think that Madame's mind is so simple? Just look at the Buddha in my courtyard." ”
"What's the matter, Madame is just annoyed by your actions and gives you a little warning, as long as you restrain yourself, there will be no problem if you don't anger her. ”
Bai Shihua didn't know if she could say, "I hope so." ”
"Hey, you say, do those two girls know about this?"
"I don't know what it matters, anyway, it's not the same as a concubine, and it's not welcome. Bai Shihua smiled disdainfully, but she was thinking carefully in her heart.
Aunt Yang nodded, looking quite approving, the two talked about Bai Qiyu and Bai Liuyun, but they forgot that Bai Shihua was also a concubine.
Six or seven days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Mrs. Bai's illness has improved a lot, but she no longer asks for peace every morning, and only holds the scriptures copied by Bai Wutong every day to eat fasting Buddha.
Mother Wang smiled faintly, "It's still Madame's method, after a try, several people have revealed their foundations......"
Madame Bai knelt on the futon, squinted her eyes slightly, and raised the corners of her mouth, "What the hell are those shallow-eyed, where can I think of more." ”
"Madame, when it comes to vision, who can compare to you, let alone a few teenage girls who don't go out of the door. Mother Wang smiled and complimented, and said, "Although the fourth miss can hide it, but the excitement can't be hidden, I'm afraid that I will fight for it if I have enough strength, and the sixth miss ......."
Mother Wang paused when she said this, and then said, "The slave maid saw that Miss Six knew about this not long after the day before yesterday, so she went to find Miss Seven, but she didn't look happy when she went out...... The slave maid thought, Miss Seven is afraid that it is not fuel-efficient......"
Mrs. Bai said, "What you said is right, the seventh lady in our family looks the most plain, but in the end, it is different from Xiao Wu, she has a thought, maybe there will be something new, you have to let people look good...... Speaking of which, Xiao Wu's child is a painful one, but there is such a biological mother who should be a cheap one. ”
Mother Wang naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to pick up the stubble, but said, "The slave maid looks at Miss Seven these days, but she has been diligent these days, and she has really put a lot of thought into the fragrance, no, I heard that she is preparing a different rouge, and the lipstick ......"
Madame Bai snorted coldly, "She knows each other well, and she can actually be peaceful...... This matter, let's say that it is to enter the palace, don't make it clear who is planning to be, I don't believe that she can still think about it...... Once she ...... Hmph, I have to let her see if she can't eat, and she won't be able to do what she wants. ”
Thinking in his heart, the two little faces like flowers and bones gradually grew into the appearance of Xia's, his face became even more gloomy, and the fingers holding the rosary became more and more forceful......
Mother Wang sighed secretly, and suddenly the voice of the maid talking came from outside, and she was about to go out to ask, Mrs. Bai frowned and said, "Go and see what's going on, these minions are getting more and more disagreeable......
Wang's mother went out in response, and when she walked outside, she saw Wen Ying and a maid standing under the porch talking, and couldn't help but walk over with a blank face.
Wen Ying and the little maid hurriedly saluted, "Mother Wang." ”
"What's going on? Talking so loudly here, don't you know Madame's rules?"
Wen Ying hurriedly smiled, "Just talking about you, Mom, you came out, it was a guest from the house, and the pity from the flower hall came to say hello." ”
"Guest?" Wang's mother frowned, "It's all closed, who is coming to the house at this time?"
The maid said, "It's the young grandmother of the Li Mansion, who said that she came to send some flowers to the house, and by the way, take a look at Miss Seven." ”
Mother Wang nodded, "I know, you wait first, and wait for me to go in and give birth to Madame." ”
When Mrs. Bai heard the news, she sneered again, "She has someone who remembers it, since she wants to see her, let's go with her, but a cheap girl from a concubine, I don't know that the eldest young grandmother of the Li Mansion is also a ...... with little vision."
Mother Wang hesitated, "Madam, this Li Mansion ...... Don't meet ......"
"Since people came to see the Seven Girls, why should I bother to come up? I think Mom, you are also confused. ”
Mother Wang slapped herself a few times without falling, and sneered, "Look at the slave's mouth, it's getting more and more useless......
was scolded by Mrs. Wang, so Mother Wang poured her anger on Li'er, "...... are all eyeless, since they said that they want to see Miss Seven, then they don't have to serve tea and water, and take them directly to Yiting Xuan, and someone will entertain them......"
