In the Orchid Garden, Madame Bai held the white cat and gently scratched its back with her right hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a while, Mother Wang brought in a mother-in-law who was thirty or forty years old, and as soon as she entered the door, she bowed steadily to Mrs. Bai with a smile on her face.
"The slave maid Chen has seen Madame, and I greet Madame. ”
Madame Bai smiled slightly, "Sit down and talk, Wenhui, serve tea." ”
Chen smiled and thanked him, and half-sat down on the embroidery pier.
"The slave maid came at the behest of our young grandmother, a few days ago I heard that the seventh lady of your house is good at making perfume, and it just so happens that our young grandmother is also good at making incense, and there are many flowers and plants in the flower room at home, so I want to ask my wife to invite Miss Seven to come over to the house as a guest. ”
Mrs. Bai stroked the cat lightly and smiled kindly, "Mother Chen is polite, Xiao Qi only knows a little bit about the fur, since you are invited by your young grandmother, naturally you can't slack off." ”
Turning to Mother Wang again, her eyes flashed slightly, "Go and invite Miss Seven over." ”
A word of invitation bit heavily, and Wang's mother nodded knowingly and went out.
walked to the door, lifted the curtain, and whispered to the maid outside the door, "Go, check who Miss Seven has been in contact with recently, and how do the people in the Li Mansion know that Miss Seven can mix fragrances......
Following Mrs. Bai's instructions, Mother Wang walked slowly, thinking about what excuse she would find later.
Unexpectedly, before Wang's mother left the Lanjing Garden, she saw Bai Qiyu walking towards her, followed by Qiushui.
Mother Wang's heart was so bad that she smiled and walked over to salute, "Miss Seven, do you have something to do when you come to find Madame at this time?"
Bai Qiyu said indifferently, "The day before yesterday, my mother said that I would have a little headache at noon every day for a while, so I planned to mix some more lily fragrance to calm my mother and let her rest well. ”
He said, "Mother Wang, what is the matter? If your mother tells me, then you should hurry up, I won't delay your efforts, I will just go to see my mother myself." As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked past Wang's mother to the main house.
Behind her, Mother Wang hurriedly turned around and followed, "How can it, Madam just told the slave maid to invite Miss Seven, and she happened to meet here, so I saved the slave and maid a trip." ”
Bai Qiyu smiled and said nothing, and Shi Shiran walked forward.
Mother Wang hurriedly followed and said, "Miss Seven, you slow down." The voice was not small, obviously wanting the people in the courtyard to hear, especially Wenying at the door.
Bai Qiyu walked to the door, and sure enough, he didn't see Wen Ying who was holding the curtain, so he stopped there and looked at Mother Wang.
Mother Wang had no choice but to say, "Miss Seven, wait a minute, the slave maid will go to Mrs. ”
"There's Mama Lao. Bai Qiyu said with a smile.
Mother Wang, who was frowning slightly, was about to raise her feet, but when she saw the curtain flicker, Wen Ying walked out, "The slave has seen Miss Seven, and Mrs. invited Miss Seven to come in and talk." ”
Immediately retreated to the side and opened the curtain, Bai Qiyu nodded, entered the house, and Qiushui was waiting under the porch.
Mother Wang approached Wenying and said in a low voice, "What did Madam say?"
Wen Ying lowered his head and said softly, "It's nothing, just say, since you're here, then please come in." ”
"What about the expression?" Wang's mother asked hurriedly, you know, the more calm and calm the lady, the more it means that she is really angry.
“...... I don't see anything out of the ordinary......" Moon Ying hesitated.
Mother Wang sighed in annoyance, tiptoe and looked anxiously into the curtain, although she couldn't see anything......
When Madam Bai saw Bai Qiyu coming in, she only glanced at the Chen family curiously, so she saluted herself as usual, and said with a smile, "Just as Mother Wang was going to invite you, you came over, just in time." ”
Bai Qiyu smiled and saluted, "Mother, the day before yesterday, I heard my mother say that I would have a little headache at noon every day, so my daughter planned to mix some lily fragrance to calm her mother and let her mother rest well, and I came to my mother today to talk about it." ”
"It's hard for you to have a heart, if there is a difficulty, just say it, I'll let people do it. ”
Bai Qiyu showed a happy smile, "Thank you, mother!"
And said, "Everything else is fine, but this flower material needs to be a freshly opened lily, a lily in the greenhouse in the house, my daughter has been looking for a few days, but the buds have just begun to sharpen, and it will take a while to bloom." ”
Madame Bai glanced at Chen, who was smiling and sitting quietly with her head down, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then she smiled and said, "This is really a coincidence, what kind of day is this today...... Xiao Qi, come," he said, putting the cat aside, took Bai Qiyu's hand, looked at Chen and smiled, "This is Mother Chen, who is next to the young grandmother of the Li Mansion, and it is related to what you said today." ”
Chen got up and saluted Bai Qiyu.
Bai Qiyu was puzzled, "What does it have to do with what I said? Could it be flowers?" and then said happily, "But my mother helped me find it?
Madame Bai smiled, "Your mother and I don't have the ability to predict the future, isn't this just in time, Mother Chen is here to invite you to come over to discuss the matter of perfume blending for their eldest and youngest grandmothers." ”
"How do they know that their daughter can make fragrance?" Bai Qiyu wondered again.
Chen explained with a smile, "It's such a seventh miss, the ninth miss in the house is friendly with our eldest lady, and sent the fragrance to our eldest lady, and I didn't say who gave it, but the eldest and youngest grandmother smelled this fragrance and felt very good, and she had never seen it, so she asked about it, and then I knew that it was originally made by you." Our grandmother also loves to serve these things, so I thought about asking Miss Seven for advice. ”
It's very clear and polite, but also very direct.
Mrs. Bai kept a smile on her face, but she seemed to be absent-minded, and said lightly, "I Xiaoqi can also handle this, you said earlier that there are many flowers and plants in the house, and I want to come to Xiaoqi to see and understand, and I won't stop it." ”
patted Bai Qiyu's hand again and said, "It's just the same, you have to go early and return early, but don't be greedy and forget the time." ”
Bai Qiyu hugged Mrs. Bai's arm and looked happy, "Thank you, mother, don't worry, my daughter will remember her mother's words." ”
After making preparations, Mother Wang sent Bai Qiyu to the Hanging Flower Gate and got into the carriage, and watched the two carriages leave before turning around and returning to the Orchid Garden.
The maid was talking back to Madame Bai, "...... It is said that when the eldest lady of the Li family came to see Miss Nine the day before yesterday, she met Miss Seven, and then she went to Yitingxuan to sit for a while, and the rest didn't see anyone......"
Madam Bai's eyebrows were slightly cold, "Go down and call Mother Wang to come in and talk." ”
The maid bowed and bowed, and withdrew.
Mother Wang, who came in, said cautiously, "Madame, do you think there is something wrong?"
The fierceness on Mrs. Bai's face flashed, her eyes flashed with a cold light, and Mother Wang bowed her head more cautiously.
"This! How dare you calculate me, is it true that everyone else is a fool? That dead vixen has been dead for so many years and still makes people live an uneasy life! Wait, I will let you see what happens to your two daughters under the Nine Springs, you just wait!"
Mrs. Bai looked at the gently swaying curtain at the door, but her eyes saw a gentle and smiling face through the curtain, which seemed to be ridicule and provocation, Mrs. Bai was angry, and with a wave of her wide sleeves, the pink porcelain tea cup on the table was thrown to the curtain, and it fell to the ground with a "bang", and her body was broken.
Mother Wang, who was breathing on the side, was startled, her body trembled suddenly, and then she looked at Mrs. Bai and said cautiously, "Madame, don't be angry, let her play tricks again, won't she be able to escape from the palm of your hand, you must know that the rest of her life is in your hands." ”
This was said to Mrs. Bai's heart, she waved her hand and sighed, "You also know, I just say it, where will I be angry with myself, at this moment, the most important thing is Shuang'er's business, other things...... I'd like to see if she can have the last laugh with that little slut. ”
Mother Wang called the little maid in and cleaned up the broken porcelain lightly, but she couldn't help sighing in her heart.
It's no wonder that Mrs. is so angry, I don't know how many years Mrs. hasn't had a comfortable life, a good life, it's just three or four years, the lord is not a person who is not affectionate, when Mrs. first married into Baifu, the two of them were in harmony with each other, without a trace of unpleasantness.
However, Mrs. married in for more than five years, only gave birth to two daughters, not without sons, but the third son was stillborn before he was born, the doctor said that it was congenital deficiency, Mrs. also injured her body, and could no longer have children, so she fell seriously ill, dragged on for more than a year, and after the illness was slightly better, she began to show up for the old man to take a concubine. However, these concubines are also angry one by one, and they all gave birth to daughters, but none of them are sons.
Wang's mother remembered that the worry-free master of Yunfeng Temple had said that Mrs. had no children in her life, but a woman's life was more precious than her son, and Mrs. also heard this, so she stopped thinking and treated her two biological daughters wholeheartedly.
As for those concubines, if they are sons, they can be raised under the name of their wife, but they are all daughters, and that life is cheaper than grass.
Thinking of this, Wang's mother sighed again in her heart.
quickly cleaned up, and Mother Wang personally changed a cup of tea for Mrs. Bai.
After pondering for a while, Madame Bai suddenly said, "Go and call Xiaoliu to me." ”
Although Bai Liuyun was very puzzled that Mrs. Bai was calling herself at this time, she still saluted Mrs. Bai with a smile when she entered the door.
Madame Bai gathered her mind, put on a loving look again, and said with a smile, "I know that the three of you sisters are almost finished embroidering the birthday ceremony, so I asked you to come and sit for a while to talk to your mother." ”
I looked at Bai Liuyun's outfit again, wearing a water-blue silver silk embroidered jacket with a pink skirt, her jet-black hair was adorned with gold silk flowers, and her little face was almost exactly the same as Bai Qiyu's, and her big eyes were black and bright, and she was smart at first glance.
Holding back the disgust in her heart, Mrs. Bai stretched out her hand to caress her cheek, and said with a smile, "Before I know it, my Xiaoliu has been so beautiful, but this dress is a little plain...... and then turned to Mother Wang and ordered, "Go and bring my set of gold filigree and red coral head to Xiaoliu to wear." ”
How can you just give yourself such a valuable head?
Bai Liuyun suppressed the curiosity in her heart and said continuously, "Mother, how can this be, that face is too precious......"
Madame Bai patted her hand and smiled, "It's time to dress up, otherwise how will I take you out of the house when the time comes......"
