Chapter 31: Encountering a hypocritical cousin
When Mrs. Lu saw her, she hurriedly raised her hand and said, "Don't be polite, sit and talk at the same time!"
The grandmother didn't shirk, only smiled and agreed, and sat on the round stool with Cui Mama, her eyes looking at the smiling and silent white hibiscus from time to time.
Only then did Mrs. Lu turn to Bai Mu Hibiscus and said, "Jin'er, this is Mama Rui, you go and have a salute!"
Bai Mujin understood what Mrs. Lu meant, although Mama Rui was also a slave, but she was a female official who had served the first queen and had a high rank, although she was a young lady of the Ningguo family, she had to give seven points of face when she saw her like this.
So he humbly and politely blessed Mama Rui and said, "Mama Rui is polite!"
Mama Narui nodded again and again, her smile was even worse, she deviated her body slightly, and only received half a salute from Bai Mu Hibiscus, so she hurriedly supported her and said, "Miss Sun is polite, the old slave is afraid!"
"Mama Rui should have received Jin'er's courtesy, and Jin'er still wants to rely on Mama to teach her in the future!" Bai Mu Hibiscus pushed the boat along the water, saying his purpose, hoping that this happy mama would not refuse her.
Mama Cui also smiled on the side, gently pushed Mama Rui, and said, "Sister, you have been asking me to find you an errand all day long, isn't this coming, although Miss Sun is not surnamed Lu, but she is the person at the top of the old lady's heart, you have to do your best!"
Mrs. Lu also smiled and said: "Mama Rui, the old body doesn't say much to you, although you are the person sent to the palace by my Lu family, but in the past, you did your best for the Lu family, and you have repaid this friendship, you are leaving the palace now, you should have let you live for a long time, but in the end, you are still reluctant to let me be a granddaughter, if you can help her, the old body will be remembered!"
When Mama Rui heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear: "The old lady's words are tormenting the slave maid, the slave maid is a slave of the Lu family for a day, and a slave of the Lu family for life, no matter who I have served in the past, my loyalty to the Lu family is the same." The old lady trusts the old slave and entrusts Miss Sun to me, I only have one word, go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up!"
The old lady nodded with joy on her face when she heard this, and then said: "You get up to speak, and in the future, when you follow Jin'er, you will only listen to her orders, except for her, you don't have to pay attention to anyone's orders, even the Lu family!"
When Bai Mujian heard this, she realized how dedicated Mrs. Lu was to herself, she cut off her worries, and Mama Rui would only recognize her as the master in the future.
Mama Rui hurriedly responded, got up and said to Bai Mu Jinfu: "The slave and maid officially gave the master a gift, and she just received a half-salute from the master, and she can be regarded as an old slave, I want to see if the master really wants to accept the slave and maid, I hope the master is not strange!"
Bai Mu Hibiscus suddenly helped her, and said with a smile: "I should give my grandmother a gift, although you have left the palace, but in the end it is a fourth-grade female official, and Jin'er is a white ding!"
"Miss Sun is humble, but you can even know the grade of the old slave, didn't my old sister tell you in advance?" asked Mama Rui.
Mama Cui hurriedly shook her head, saying that she didn't mention it, and Mama Rui didn't want to mention that she was a fourth-grade female official since the day she left the palace, and she wanted to find a good master again so that she could display her skills.
Bai Mujin smiled, then pointed to the jade pendant on Cui's waist, and said, "If Jin'er is not mistaken, this jade pendant must have been given by the former queen, and it is also a mutton fat magnolia that can only be worn by the first-class female officials around her, right?"
Mama Rui looked down at her jade pendant, and when she looked up again, she had an almost fanatical appreciation in Bai Mujian's eyes, and said: "Miss Sun really has a blue heart, and she is subtle, after I left the palace, I only left such a jade pendant that can prove my identity, and it was just a thought, and no one could see it, but I didn't expect Miss Sun to see through it today, hehe......"
Seeing this, Mrs. Lu was both happy for Bai Hibiscus and very relieved, Mama Rui would definitely assist Bai Hibiscus well in the future, and she would not let her fall into someone else's way.
"Sister, are you still satisfied with the new master that the old sister has found for you?" Cui Mama also quipped.
Mama Rui nodded again and again, and said to Mama Cui: "No matter how good it is, I have enough leisure, it's time to come out and move my muscles, if I have nothing to do in the house all day, I'm afraid that I will go to see the first queen soon!"
After talking to the old lady for a long time, after lunch, Bai Mu Hibiscus reluctantly prepared to return to the Ningguo Mansion, although the old lady Lu had the heart to stay, but Bai Mu Hibiscus insisted on going back on the grounds that she was not worried about her younger brother.
Mrs. Lu was willing to let her go, and wrapped a lot of silver taels for her to take back, saying that she was afraid that she would not have some money, Bai Mujian resigned for a long time, and the old lady was going to be angry, so she reluctantly accepted it.
As soon as he got out of the old lady's yard, he bumped into the daughter of the Lu family's second room, Lu Jiaojiao. As soon as Bai Mujian touched her, she secretly screamed badly, and she felt an incomparably headache when she thought of this Lu Jiaojiao's temper.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Jiaojiao saw her, she immediately looked at Bai Mujian with a thief-like look, and said, "What are you doing in the Prime Minister's Mansion again? Aren't you going to cheat your grandmother again? Every time you come back, you have to make your grandmother lose a lot of silver taels, it's really not ashamed!"
If it was in the past, Bai Mujian would have been ashamed and indignant, but now she only thinks that Lu Jiaojiao is too delicate and willful, and she is just jealous of herself.
"Cousin, if your grandmother hears this, I'm afraid her old man will be unhappy!" Bai Mu Hibiscus just said with a faint smile.
Lu Jiaojiao's face changed slightly, but she soon didn't care, she didn't believe that Bai Mujian would sue, and her grandmother, who had always loved her the most, would not punish her.
So he said: "Hmph, what are you proud of, you just rely on your grandmother to love your aunt, love the house and Wu, she said that the most distressed thing is me!"
"Oh, is it, but I have heard that the reason why my grandmother loves you so much is because you look very much like my mother?" Bai Mujian looked Lu Jiaojiao up and down, and deliberately lingered on her face for a long time, feeling a little nostalgic.
Lu Jiaojiao was depressed in her heart, Bai Mujian was right, every time her grandmother saw her, she looked at her face with a nostalgic and sentimental expression, so no matter how delicate and willful she was, her grandmother would also look at her face and gently spare her.
But she hated and loved her face, she hated being her aunt's stand-in, but she enjoyed her grandmother's extraordinary favor. Now that she was exposed by Bai Muhibiscus in front of her, she was naturally very embarrassed, and her pretty face turned red, and said, "Hmph, you actually laughed at my face? I'll go and tell my grandmother that she will punish you severely!"
"I don't laugh at your face, it's too late for me to like my cousin's face, look at you as if I looked at my mother when she was young, how can I laugh at you? You have to protect your face well, don't let it hurt in the slightest, or grandma will be sad!" Bai Mu said with a light smile, but the tone of his words was a little contemptuous.
Lu Jiaojiao's words were held in her mouth, but she didn't know how to refute them, her angry little face turned red, and then she cried loudly, crying and saying, "You bully me, you bully me......"
Here it is again, Bai Mu Hibiscus pursed her lips, she really admired Lu Jiaojiao, and her tears came as soon as she said it. Moreover, after a while, someone would come out to support her, saying that it was too late, and it was too soon, and she saw a tall young man galloping in the distance.
He protected Lu Jiaojiao behind him, then looked at Bai Mu Hibiscus angrily, and said: "Bai Mu Hibiscus, you are bullying my sister again, although I don't beat women, but if you are so arrogant, I will really beat you!"
"Cousin, I really want to ask you, why every time your cousin cries, you can arrive in time?
A pair of wonderful, Bai Mu Hibiscus gave the two of them the most accurate evaluation.
In fact, in the final analysis, Lu Jiaojiao is not heinous, but she is spoiled by her family, and there is such a helper who knows how to practice martial arts all day long, and then protects her sister's free bodyguard brother, which makes her even more unscrupulous and willful.
Lu Dahai's mind didn't react for a while, he didn't know how Bai Mujian could ask such a strange question at this time, he just replied: "My ear power, as long as my sister doesn't leave me ten miles away, when she cries, I will definitely be able to hear it!"
"Brother, she bullied me, woo...... I'm not alive anymore, I'm going to throw myself into the river, I'm going to throw myself into the well, I'm going to hang myself......" Lu Jiaojiao sat on the ground, kicked her legs like a three-year-old child, and began to splash, this is her usual trick, as long as it is not as good as she wants, she will make a fuss.
When Lu Dahai heard this, he could still control a lot, staring at Bai Mujian's eyes, as if the other party had killed his father and mother, and shouted angrily: "You still don't apologize to Jiaojiao, are you going to kill her?" If something happens to my Jiaojiao, I don't care how powerful your Ning Guogong is, I will definitely go to your house!"
Mama Rui frowned on the side, and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Bai Hibiscus, and signaled her not to act rashly with a look that you just watch the show.
Then he smiled at Lu Dahai and said: "Cousin, it's not impossible to ask me to apologize, let's make a bet, if you win me, it doesn't matter if I kowtow to Jiaojiao!"
When the mandarin duck and the magpie heard this, they immediately glanced at Bai Mujian worriedly, and wanted to say something to stop it, how could their young lady kowtow to Lu Jiaojiao? Obviously, Miss is not wrong!
"Are you serious?Brother, if you promise her, I will ask her to kneel down and kowtow to me three times, hum!" Lu Jiaojiao didn't wait for Lu Dahai to speak, she got up, and she didn't cry or make trouble.
Bai Muhibiscus smiled, nodded, and said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, although I am not a gentleman, but I will keep my promise, and my cousin is so powerful, if I don't fulfill my promise, can he let me go?"
Lu Jiaojiao also felt justified when she heard it, so she glanced at Bai Hibiscus proudly, as if she was a lamb to be slaughtered, and then patted her brother's back and said arrogantly: "Brother, give her some color!"
"You haven't said anything to bet on, if you bet against me, I can't!" Lu Dahai's brain is not too stupid, and he knows that he can't bet on something that he is not sure of.
Bai Mujin nodded and said, "Don't worry, cousin, just bet on what you are best at, aren't you known for your infinite strength?
"Strength? haha...... Cousin Hibiscus, you are stupid, look at your thin arms and legs, I let you have one hand, you can't compare to me, I know, you must be looking for a step for yourself, afraid of kowtowing for no reason and losing face, right?" Lu Dahai looked at Bai Hibiscus like a fool, and felt that his guess was very accurate.
