In the morning, Zhao waited for Mrs. Ning from Changrong Hall to come back, and caught a glimpse of two little girls whispering at the corner of the verandah, and faintly heard the words "Second Miss" in the cold morning breeze. ”

The waiter nodded in response, and served her into the east room before going to the two little girls to ask questions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the Zhao family finished dealing with the affairs of the house, the waiter lowered his head and replied: "Madam, those two girls are talking about the fact that the second lady went to Linjiangxuan to deliver pastries to the young master a few days ago. She paused, carefully worded, and continued, "The young master was entertaining guests at the time. ”

Her daughter knows that Lin Changru and Lin Bining have a good relationship, Lin Biwen has not been very close to him since she was a child, and how could she send things to Linjiangxuan on a whim. Although the waiter said it vaguely, Zhao thought about it for a while and understood that the guest that Lin Changru saw was the key. She put her right hand on the kang table, pressed her fingertips to her forehead, and asked in an unchanged voice, "Who did the young master see that day?" ”

"I only know that it is a son surnamed Bai, and I don't know which one it is. But I heard that the white boy was handsome and handsome, and his bearing was extraordinary. ”

"Okay, I got it. I haven't eaten with the second lady for a long time, so I told the kitchen to make more of her favorite food at noon and send it to Tingyuxuan, and invite her to come over when the young lady and the female gentleman learn the piano. "The Zhao family doesn't like people to chew the root of their tongues, and they are afraid that the two girls will be punished heavily, and they will ruin their reputation for generosity, so they will only give the servant a private warning.

At noon, after the mother and daughter finished eating, Zhao pulled Lin Biwen to sit down and drink tea and talk, and asked some about the recent study with the female gentleman, and suddenly said casually: "What kind of person is Changru's friend surnamed Bai?" ”

"Bai Gongzi is very good, not only is he handsome, but his clothes are even more luxurious, he is the most ...... I have ever seen" Lin Biwen stopped suddenly, threw away the peeled pine nuts in her hand, raised her head and frowned, "Mother, how do you know Bai Gongzi?" ”

"It doesn't matter how I know, it's how you know." Zhao took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Not to mention that Linglong Pavilion is in the inner courtyard, and Linjiang Xuan is in the outer courtyard." You either learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with Zou Wuniang every day, or learn etiquette with Mama Yu, how did you know that Bai Gongzi? ”

"Wu Niang had something to do that day, I saw it when I went to the small garden to fold plum blossoms." Lin Biwen lowered her head and peeled pine nuts while whispering.

There is a plum forest to the west of the Lin Mansion, but because it is just outside the Luomei Pavilion, Lin Biwen never goes. Zhao obviously understood this, and did not ask her why she went to the small garden, but directly asked the most important thing: "How did you know that Bai Gongzi came to the mansion that day, and your pastries were probably not given to Lin Changru." ”

"That's what you know when you listen to the maids' small talk!" Lin Biwen said coquettishly dissatisfied, "Mother, didn't I just send them something to eat, and it's not a big deal, why do you ask me like a prisoner!" ”

Zhao sighed, patted his daughter's hand and said: "Silly girl, you are not a child anymore, you need to understand that the most important thing in your daughter's family is reputation, you are so reckless to go to see a foreign man, spread it out and let people say about you?" If your father knows about it and should be punished, do you still want to copy "The Female Ring" 300 times? ”

Lin Biwen hurriedly pulled Zhao's sleeve: "I don't want to copy books anymore, mother, you love me the most, and you won't let my father know, right?" ”

"I won't tell your father, but there's one thing you have to tell me honestly." Zhao Shi looked into her eyes, "Do you have a crush on that white boy?" ”

Lin Biwen let go of her sleeves, nodded shyly, and said softly, "He is the best-looking person I have ever seen." ”

"Marriage is a major event, the words of the matchmaker of your parents, if you are in love, you should also tell your mother, and your mother will come forward to make decisions for you, how can anyone catch up by himself! Don't forget, you are the second lady of the Lin family. ”

"Of course, if you like it, you have to grab it yourself." As she spoke, Lin Biwen stuck out her tongue, how could she say what was in her heart.

Zhao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, as if he saw his young self, and he could only rely on himself to fight for what he wanted. But Lin Biwen is different from herself, she is the only daughter she loves, so she will naturally arrange everything for the other party. Zhao Shi restrained his expression and said, "Okay, don't make your own decisions about this matter, I will take a good look at that white boy." You are also a half-grown girl now, learn from Wu Niang and Mama Yu, and behave steadily and well, you know? ”

"I see." Lin Biwen responded obediently.

Hearing that Lin Biwen and the maid spoke highly of Bai Yi, Zhao couldn't help but think a little more, and told the door to tell her the next time the other party came, she would see it in person. If the character and family background are suitable, it is not impossible to obey the wishes of the daughter.

After dinner, Zhao asked Mama Yu to invite her, and asked Lin Biwen how she had studied recently.

"The second lady is smart and learns things quickly, although she is still young and sometimes lively, but as long as she is guided more, she will definitely become a dignified and virtuous lady." Mama Yu carefully said with her words, "Mrs. treats me very well, I shouldn't have mentioned it, but my son hasn't been very good lately, I really can't rest assured, I want to take care of him personally......" She didn't finish her words of resignation, and was interrupted by Zhao with a smile.

"Don't worry, Mama, I will ask someone to take care of your son for you. Every day, when Miss Er is studying with the female gentleman, you can also go out of the house to see him. The little girl is naughty, she has done something wrong, although Mama teaches, you need to bother more in the future. ”

When Zhao's words came to this, Mama Yu couldn't refuse again, so she could only nod and say: "Where is my wife, it is my duty to teach Miss, and I will do my best." ”

After Mama Yu left, Zhao sat with his back lamp, supported his forehead with his hands, couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and asked the waiter: "Find out who told the second lady the news of Bai Gongzi's entry into the mansion?" ”

The waiter leaned in and replied, "Madam, it's Mrs. Zhang, who is in charge of the small garden. ”

Zhao closed his eyes and said lightly: "Find a mistake and send it away." Mention it to the people in the house, don't pass it on if you shouldn't pass it on, next time anyone spreads rumors or dares to teach the second miss badly, it's not so simple to do. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

"How are Mother and Son Roche now?" On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Luo gave birth to a big fat boy Ping'an, the child looked very healthy, Zhao's happy pill had no effect on the child, and he was very disappointed that he had taken the medicine for so long without effect.

"There are those supplements from my wife, and they are all very good." Shi Qi replied in a flat tone, not daring to show the slightest joy, so as not to poke at Zhao's sore spot.

"Tomorrow, you go and invite Dr. Zhao to come." Some time ago, Dr. Zhao changed the medicine to Zhao, but she has been taking it for a month, and it still has no effect, and Zhao wants the other party to see if she wants to change the medicine again.

"Yes, ma'am."
