Chapter 16: The Secret Room of the West Garden

"Don't let me suffer at all, you said it yourself, don't flash your tongue at that time. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" A sneer flashed at the corner of Bai Qian's mouth, "Steward Mo is also here today, you have heard this, if my father breaks his promise in the future, I hope that Steward Mo will stand up and help me say a fair word." ”

"It's okay if you want me to go back to the compound, but I'll have to take this girl with me." Tang Ruyu is not familiar with life in Liyue City, and she can't let it go. This girl is usually careless, always lost, either lost her wallet, or lost her handkerchief, if she is left alone, I don't know what trouble will happen.

"Good!" As long as he can take Bai Qianqian back, let alone this one request, even ten requests, he Bai Changqing will agree. He believed that what he had paid today would soon be rewarded by a hundredfold and a thousandfold return from the Shangguan family. "Steward Mo, hurry up and help the second lady move things."

Bai Qianqian waved his hand, "Don't bother Butler Mo, I was not treated well in the first place, where did I get so many salutes." Broken jade, bring your bags, let's go. "The bags are small, only a few sets of clothes, and all their belongings.

A strange look flashed in Bai Changqing's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

After Shen, he finally returned to the Bai family compound. Vermilion double open gate, bronzing plaque engraved with "Bai family" two big characters, the left and right sides of the gate each placed a mighty stone lion. The servants guarding the door were lined up on either side, two on the left and two on the left, all dressed in gray cloth shirts. The garden is full of anchovy bamboo, and various irises are planted under the bamboo, the flowers are in full bloom, and the bees fly and butterflies around. Rockery fountains can be seen everywhere in the park, and the scenery is everywhere.

"The lord is well!"

"The lord is well!"

……

There are more than 100 servants in the Bai family's compound, all of whom are wearing gray cloth shirts, and women are wearing light purple folding skirts. Seeing Bai Changqing, he stopped and greeted respectfully. Bai Changqing didn't respond, took Bai Qianqian and his party, and went straight to Xiyuan. The West Garden is the courtyard where Bai Qianqian lived five years ago.

"Shallow, Xiyuan has been renovated, you see if there are any other items that need to be added, if there is a need, tell Steward Mo, he is responsible for adding. On the servant side, your mother dialed five girls over, and if it was good, she would stay, and if it didn't go well, she would replace it. Bai Changqing looked like a loving father completely, and explained the big and small things one by one, "In the evening, grandmother arranged a reception dinner for you, remember to attend on time." ”

Grandmother? Bai Qianqian almost forgot about the tricky old woman. In fact, she rarely saw her grandmother, and since she can remember, she knows that her grandmother doesn't like her, and her grandmother often hugs the white demon and Bai Raorao, but she doesn't hug her; The grandmother would praise her two granddaughters in front of everyone for their picturesque appearances, but never mention that there was another granddaughter; Grandmother would stare at her hatefully and call her "Evil Star"; The grandmother would kneel before the Buddha and ask the Buddha to grant her two granddaughters a happy marriage, completely forgetting that there was an ugly girl...... What impressed Bai Qianqian the most was that she would curse her dead daughter-in-law for being a mourning star on every mother's death day.

"This is the home of the richest man in Liyue City?" Tang Ruyu took a big turn in Xiyuan, her face full of disdain, "Compared with the Shangguan family, it really can't be compared to a toe." Little cousin, why don't you go back to Shuzhong with us after your cousin comes. With the status and prestige of the Shangguan family in Shu, you will definitely be able to marry a good family in the future. ”

"That's a good idea." Bai Qianqian's biggest regret in his previous life was that he had never been to Shuzhong, never met his grandfather, and never met his uncles and aunts. When the revenge of this life is avenged, she will go to Shuzhong to visit those who care about her and love her, and then go back to Cangmang Mountain to live in seclusion for the rest of her life.

"Miss, I'm going to a dinner party in the evening, and I can't do without a decent dress." Broken Jade muttered, "The ones I made are very ordinary materials, they can't be put on the table, if you wear them out tonight, you will definitely be ridiculed by the eldest lady and the third miss, how can this be good." Broken Jade said as she opened her bags and rummaged through them, but she didn't find a suitable set.

"Isn't it just a reception party, it's necessary to dress up so grandly?" Tang Ruyu disagreed. In her eyes, white light is the best, and whatever she wears is the best.

Shayu explained, "Miss Tang, don't you know, our old lady is very good-looking, and often holds banquets to invite people with heads and faces in the city to participate. This time, the second lady returned to the compound, and she had to invite some merchants who had dealings on weekdays. If outsiders see it, it will be a joke in vain. "There is another thing, Shayu didn't say it, that is, the second lady is ugly, if she doesn't dress up, let everyone see it, the bad reputation will only spread farther and farther, how will she marry in the future?

Bai Qianqian smiled slightly, "I have my own way." He got up and went to the window, and put his hands on the discarded gilded candlestick. The candlestick moved slightly, and the wall behind the bed suddenly moved away, and there was a small passage inside, "This is the secret room left by my mother." "She stumbled upon it the year she was reborn.

I walked along the passage for about ten meters and came to the secret room. The secret room is not large, and it is pitch black. By the light of the candlelight, everyone saw that there was a painting in the room, which depicted a delicate woman sitting on the grass, smiling skillfully, the breeze blowing her hair, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles. On the covered bridge not far away, a man in Tsing Yi stood on the bridge and played the jade flute. The man wears a hideous bronze mask, which seems to be engraved with patterns, but it is not real. There was a colorful unicorn squatting next to the man, a man and a beast, standing against the railing.

"She's Aunt Shangguan?" Tang Ruyu recognized the woman in the painting at a glance, "I didn't expect Aunt Shangguan to be so beautiful." "Shangguan Yue'er and Shangguan Han's father, Shangguan Zhiqi, are twins, and their appearance is exactly the same, Shangguan Han inherited his father's appearance, and he is naturally eight or nine points similar to Shangguan Yue'er." Why do you Shangguan family people look so otherworldly? ”

After that, he seemed to realize that something was wrong and immediately shut up. Bai Qianqian is not angry, my mother is indeed a rare beauty, whether it is appearance or temperament, she is far more than Ge Mianmian, why doesn't my father like it? Also, who is the man in the painting? The man was radiant, with a bit of chic and uninhibited, completely different from his father's elegance.

"Miss, you see, this is the title deed and the title deed. God, Madame was so prescient that she left it all to Mademoiselle. Broken Jade opened a black wooden box in the corner of the wall and found that all the belongings of the Bai family were hidden inside.

Bai smiled lightly, everything here was discovered when she was ten years old. However, at that time, she was not enough to fight against the old lady of the Bai family, Bai Changqing, and the mother and daughter of the Ge family, so she swallowed her anger and moved away from the compound to hide in the old mansion. Time has passed, she is no longer the timid little girl she was back then, she has to rely on what her mother left her to take back everything that belongs to her.

In another wooden box, large and small dresses and hairpin hair accessories are neatly placed. Three-year-old, four-year-old, five-year-old...... Sixteen years old, seventeen years old...... Each set of dresses is written on which year to wear, and at the bottom of the box is a set of phoenix crowns.
