Chapter Ninety-Four: Finding a Reason
Bai Qiyu gave the written letter to Qiushui, and gave her another ten taels of silver, "Put it away, you go out of the house again tomorrow, find someone to send the letter to Linfeng City, and inquire about that Xia Gongzi by the way." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Qiushui blinked and wondered, "What did Miss think?"
"No, I'm just a little curious, don't be careful, just ask about it. ”
Wen Ying served Bai Qiyu to clean her hands, and called the maid to set the meal, and then said, "Today, I heard from the mother-in-law of the flower and wood house that Mrs. asked Madame to clean up Ruixiangyuan and Biyuexuan, and pick up all the flowers and trees, it seems that Miss Eight and Miss Nine will be picked up in Beijing at the beginning of the month." ”
Bai Qiyu nodded and said, "Father's side is also paying attention, I estimate that after Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu enter Beijing, he may go to Tongzhou soon," he paused and said, "Let's wait for Xu Zhixing to enter Beijing, with him, it will be more convenient to do things." ”
Wen Ying didn't ask much, and went to take the little maid to set the meal together.
On the morning of the third day, Bai Qiyu "recovered from his illness" and went to greet Mrs. Bai.
Bai Liuyun was also there, but Mrs. Bai had a cold face, Bai Liuyun sat on the side and said with a soft smile, and when Bai Qiyu entered, both of them looked at her.
Bai Qiyu saluted as usual, didn't hear the sound, just stood quietly aside, Mrs. Bai stared at her, her clothes were plain, her face was a little pale, her eyelids were slightly red, it seemed that her body was fine, she should be in a bad mood.
Madam Bai nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are not in good health, why don't you rest for a few more days, it is not a matter of concern if I don't come here." “
"It worries my mother. Bai Qiyu was not in a very good mood, and he responded simply with his head half-down, looking like he was enduring great grievances.
Bai Liuyun said with a smile, "The seventh sister is afraid that her mother is worried, so she should pay attention to her body, since she entered Beijing, she has been sick at both ends in the past three days, and she has suffered a crime, and everyone is also worried, which shows that the seventh sister has a shallow relationship with the capital." ”
The subtext is that you're not fit to stay in Kyori.
Bai Qiyu naturally understood what she was talking about, looked up at Bai Liuyun, and said in a faint voice, "Sixth sister said that I laughed, I just fell into the water and fell into a little problem before, how could I get involved in Beijing? ”
Before Bai Liuyun could say anything, Mrs. Bai glared at her, and she smiled and didn't speak.
Bai Qiyu asked, "Why don't you see your father?" When I usually asked for peace, Bai Yuntang was also there, and I was not here today because I went to Danxia Temple yesterday and didn't go home, Bai Qiyu just asked casually, and no one answered her.
It was Mrs. Bai, who remembered and asked Bai Liuyun that the picture of Guanyin was embroidered, Bai Liuyun smiled, "The hands and feet are slower, the embroidery was only finished two days ago, and today it will be a beginning and an end." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Bai nodded and said, "Your eldest sister will be born in two months, and since she made a wish, she will definitely be able to get the good karma of the Bodhisattva, and she will be sent to her in two days, just in time for the first day of the next month." ”
There was nothing to do, and Mrs. Bai sent the two back.
Bai Qiyu remembered that Wu Hao said that day that he would pick her up and go to the house in the next few days, and on the way back, he whispered to Wen Ying to point out a little maid to keep an eye on this side of Graceland, although there are no people in the house except for a few around him, but those little maids who have not left their heads can be simple as long as they are coaxed with some dim sum decorations, Bai Qiyu is not worried.
Sure enough, on the morning of the second day, Bai Qiyu was practicing calligraphy, and a little maid came to pass the word.
Wen Ying grabbed a handful of halva for the little maid, and the little maid said softly, "Granny Chen said that a few carriages came to General Wu's mansion, and a mother and a maid entered the mansion, and Mother Wang went to Graceland with her. ”
Wen Ying smiled and gave her a few more coppers, and the little maid went out happily.
Bai Qiyu asked Qiushui to start packing up his daily clothes and supplies, and said, "I guess I should send someone to talk to my mother for a while, since there are a few carriages, then there must be a reason to persuade my mother to agree to me going to Wufu." ”
Qiushui smiled and said, "Miss, you are still clever!" and went into the inner room to tidy up.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Wang's mother came over in person, Wen Ying welcomed her to the banquet, and Bai Qiyu was putting down the pen in his hand to practice calligraphy.
Mother Wang smiled when she saw the ceremony, "No wonder Miss Seven is good at calligraphy and painting, it can be seen that she is not only smart, but also has a lot of daily diligent practice." ”
Bai Qiyu smiled and invited her to sit down and talk, "It's just to make up for it with diligence, what's the matter with Mother Wang's coming over at this time?"
Wang's mother excused herself and did not sit down, and said, "Someone came to the General's Mansion, saying that the aunt and grandmother asked the master for guidance, and Miss Seven's appearance was beneficial to her cultivation, and she wanted to take Miss Seven to live in the house for a few days, and Mrs. also agreed, and she had already left her mother for lunch, and also asked the slave maid to inform Miss Seven, pack up some clothes and so on, and go to the General's Mansion with her mother for two days after lunch." ”
This excuse is really not good, but it is very suitable to use it for Mrs. Bai, she has always been nervous about the child in Bai Yuanchun's womb.
Bai Qiyu showed a surprised expression and said suspiciously, "Going to the General's Mansion?"
Mother Wang said, "Mother Yu is from the eldest aunt's courtyard, and she came here at the behest of the eldest aunt and grandmother. ”
Hearing the reason, Bai Qiyu said worriedly, "Although I only came back after just staying for two days, I really don't know what to pack, what things to bring, and how to prepare the rewarded silver buns. ”
Mother Wang hurriedly said, "Don't dare, Miss Seven has to say anything, the slave is just relying on her age to say a few more words." ”
Wen Ying went to the tea ceremony, "Please also ask my mother to have a cup of tea first, and then instruct the slave maid." ”
The posture is very respectful, and Wang's mother is very useful when she sees it.
So he was no longer polite, and took a few sips of tea, and then talked about what to bring with him when he went out for a walk at this time.
also specifically mentioned that she should take a big girl, two little maids and a mother-in-law, and leave a big girl to watch the house, so she almost said that she took Wenying with her.
After Wen Ying wrote them down one by one, Mother Wang said goodbye to Bai Qiyu, "Madame's side is still waiting for the slave to reply, Miss Seventh still arranges a few more people to clean up, and don't delay lunch." ”
Bai Qiyu responded with a smile and asked Wen Ying to send her out.
Qiushui came out of the inner room and said with a smile, "Sure enough, Miss guessed it, some of the clothes have been sorted out, and the rest are according to what Mother Wang said?"
Bai Qiyu said with a smile, "Naturally, since Mother Wang came to pass the word, it was also explained by Mother, such as the incense to prevent mosquitoes and insects, and the hot wind and dew pills are also indispensable, so be prepared." ”
Wen Ying turned back, and Bai Qiyu asked her to clean up too, and asked Qiu Ju and Yao's mother to clean up as well.
Qiu Ju was very happy when she came to the capital and finally went out of the house once, and happily went to tell Yao's mother.
When the cage was packed, it was time for lunch.
Qiushui took a little maid to set the meal, and served Bai Qiyu to clean his hands and sit down.
On the side of Graceland, Wang's mother accompanied the mother-in-law and maid from the general's mansion to have lunch, and then moved to the side room to drink tea and rest.
At the end of the day, Bai Qiyu was accompanied by Wen Ying to Graceland, and Yao's mother and Qiu Ju were responsible for moving the cage.
Mrs. Bai was indifferent and talked to Mother Yu, who was half-sitting on the brocade stool, and when she saw Bai Qiyu coming in, her eyes looked at her with a little sharpness. Bai Qiyu saluted her with a calm expression.
Madame Bai nodded slightly, and pointed to Yu's mother again, "This is your eldest sister's mother." ”
Bai Qiyu smiled and called out "Mother Yu" and bowed halfway, Mother Yu said "Don't dare", she took it sideways, and quickly glanced at Miss Bai Qi, who made the general's wife like it very much.
The face is like a bright moon, the black hair is combed into a double bun, decorated with smooth beaded flowers, and the narrow sleeve shirt embroidered with goose yellow edges in bean green and the pink thread skirt embroidered with green twig flowers are eye-catching, and there is a seemingly delicate but flexible temperament.
Mother Yu looked at the bottom of her heart and secretly praised a few words, and said, "I still saw Miss Seven from afar at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Tai, and I also heard Mrs. Tai talk about it with our grandmother, and it is really better to see it than to hear it," and said to Mrs. Bai with a smile, "Madam is really a blessing!"
Although the daughters are all outstanding, and the in-laws are either rich or expensive, but in the end there are no sons, which blessing is this!
Mrs. Bai was a little unhappy in her heart, and changed the topic and said with a faint smile, "Xiao Liu made a wish early and embroidered a statue of Guanyin, counting that Yuan Chun will be born in September, so this time I will let Xiao Qi bring it over to add some auspiciousness." ”
Then he said a few more words, which was nothing more than asking Bai Qiyu to speak politely and behave safely, and then asked Wang's mother to send them out.
When he got out of the Hanging Flower Gate and got into the carriage again, Bai Qiyu became brisk, with a happy smile on his face.
Wen Ying said in a low voice, "Mother Wang pointed to a little maid to follow and follow in the car behind." ”
Bai Qiyu said with a smile, "Let's follow, if there is anything in the way, let's go out and have a good time." ”
The carriage traveled all the way, but instead of going to the General's Mansion, it went to the Bianshan Linyu Villa, which is located in the west of the city.
Thinking that the eldest sister was about to give birth in less than two months, but she was still tossing to live in the villa, Bai Qiyu couldn't help but be a little curious.
The carriage traveled for most of the hour, and Bai Qiyu had been leaning on the pillow to make up for sleep.
In a daze, the carriage bumped a few times, and Bai Qiyu came to his senses, feeling that it was quiet outside, so he asked, "Where are you?"
Wen Ying poured her tea, and gently lifted the curtain to look at the chic scenery outside, "It should be to the villa." ”
Bai Qiyu stretched his waist comfortably, looked out, and the carriage bypassed a section of stone steps and entered the villa along a bluestone road with a slight slope.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and a maid said respectfully, "Master of the year." ”
