CHAPTER XLII

The young woman didn't say anything more, and Zhang's mother comforted her and said, "Don't be angry, lady, you just entered the mansion yesterday, and the whole mansion still doesn't recognize you." ”

"Forget it, let's go back." The woman said expressionlessly, and then took Zhang's mother and Qingluo back to the house.

As soon as I returned to the house, I saw Ye Qi's little four leaves waiting at the door.

Ye Shun saw her, trotted to her, and said, "Where did the lady go, the little one was ordered by the eldest master and was looking for you." ”

Although the woman had just eaten at the door and felt uncomfortable, she was smiling casually at this time, "I was not happy when I got up in the morning, and walked around the house twice." Why did the lord call me? ”

Ye Shun said: "Send the lady to kowtow to the old lady." ”

The woman washed her face and straightened her clothes, "Take me there." ”

Fortunately, she thinks that she has always dressed very specially, and she doesn't need to prepare anything improvised.

And the old lady here is eating with Ye Qi and Su Shi.

When the maid arrived, the old lady just nodded invisibly, didn't say anything, turned her head and lit a glutinous rice cold cake in front of her and said to Su Shi: "This cold cake is very good, but it's not very easy to restrain it, my stomach is not good, you eat more." ”

Su Shi understood that this was the old lady giving herself face, and couldn't help but smile and said: "The taste is really good, go back and send some snacks for the children." ”

Because he was his own mother in front of him, Ye Qi couldn't say anything.

The old lady ate a morning meal and a cup of tea, and then left the person out for a cup of tea.

The young woman was happy when she came, but now she stood outside, and although she did not talk about hard work, she felt that her cheeks were hot, and she only felt that the little maid who was sweeping under the corridor looked at her with ridicule.

After the morning meal, the maids removed the table and served tea.

The old lady said slowly, "Boss, didn't you say that you were going out for a walk today?" Now it's time to go. ”

This is obviously to branch the leaves.

The old lady was a widow and raised two sons by herself. Ye Qi and Ye Purlin are in awe of their own mothers. So he obediently got up and took his leave.

Ye Qi went out of the house, and the old lady passed people in.

The young woman took a look at Ye Qi, and her face was happy, but Ye Qi just glanced at her, and she didn't stop her footsteps, and just left. She couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

The maid passed the word, and she entered the house.

As soon as she entered the house, she saluted the old lady, Ye Qi, and Su Shi in a dignified manner, and said, "The concubine has seen the old lady, the eldest lady." ”

Su Shi hadn't met her yet, so he naturally wanted to take a closer look at her. I saw that she was young and beautiful, and her temperament was outstanding, and she felt more and more uncomfortable. She is also almost thirty now, so naturally she can't compare with such a beautiful woman in her early twenties.

The old lady looked at it roughly, nodded and said, "Well, it's a good birth." Then he asked her about her ancestry.

The young woman said unhurriedly: "The concubine's maiden name is Bai, her family is in Lianghuai, and her family runs a small tea business. The ancestors are from the capital, but after the separation, they rarely interact. ”

The old lady gave a 'grace' without being salty, turned her head to Su Shi and said, "In the future, there will be people in your yard, you can watch some by yourself." Which yard to live in, as well as the degree of food and clothing, you can judge it yourself. Then find two experienced mothers-in-law in the house to take care of it. ”

Su Shi responded, "The courtyard is easy to arrange, and the cross-courtyard at the back of my courtyard is also empty." Although the Su family was not happy with the Bai family, she still wanted to put her under her nose, whether it was a child who was pregnant with a big house, and she still wanted to take care of her more when she arrived in the capital.

The old lady didn't ask much, but said, "Yes." You can arrange it. Then he said to the Bai family, "Your wife is in charge of the house, you just serve her well." You don't have to come to me in the future. ”

The Bai family is not without eyes, and understands that this is the old lady who does not want to see her. She respectfully knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady, and slowly withdrew.

Just as she was about to step out, she clearly heard the old lady say—

"The family is innocent, why do you want to be an outer room for others."

I embarrassed her, and my ears were hot.

After Bai left, the old lady also persuaded Su, "After all, people have already come in, and they are pregnant with the eldest child, so you should be more lenient." ”

Su Shi knew that the old lady had already given herself enough face, and just by seeing it just now, Bai Shi didn't dare to be rash in front of her, a genuine lady, by virtue of being pregnant. She owed a debt and said, "Daughter-in-law can save it." ”

Bai lowered his head and took Zhang's mother and Qingluo out of the old lady's yard.

Zhang's mother was stopped at the door just now, and asked about the situation in the house at this time.

Bai Shi raised his head at this time, with tears on his face, and said, "There is nothing more shameless, don't ask, Mom." ”

Zhang's mother watched her grow up since she was a child, and felt sorry for her and said: "The lady is pregnant, how can she cry." There is also a big master to call the shots for you, as long as you give birth to a little master, no one dares to despise you. ”

Bai couldn't help touching his belly, which had not yet shown his waist, and finally felt better-

Runrun still went back to her house that day, and the eldest uncle had just come back, and she still had a lot to say to him.

It was also a coincidence that she came back, and she was the front and back feet with Ye Qi.

Ye Qi went out for a walk that day, gave a lot of gifts, and naturally received a lot, and was moving people down from the carriage.

Runrun's eyes were sharp, as soon as the two brothers got off the carriage, she stood on the wheel and beckoned to Ye Qi.

Ye Qi hurriedly stepped forward, "You slow down, don't fall." ”

The little girl has been stumbling since she was learning to walk, and she is not afraid of falling, but she can teach the adults in the family to break her heart. I used to roll down the stairs, but fortunately it was winter at the time, and I wore thick clothes, so I didn't fall out of the way. And that time she fell when she ran to the study in front of her, Ye Qi and Ye Ling were talking at the time, and they happened to see it, and they were shocked into a cold sweat, and now they still have palpitations when they think about it.

Runrun grinned and stopped her uncle's neck.

Ye Qi deliberately shook his arm and said, "I haven't hugged us for more than half a year, so it's obviously sinking!" Tell your uncle, are you greedy? ”

Runrun tilted his head, frowned and thought very seriously for a while, "Grandmother said that it wasn't greedy, it was because I had a long body, I had to eat more, and I would grow taller than my uncle and father in the future!" ”

Ye Qi couldn't help laughing, "That's not good, if you look taller than me and your father, you won't be able to get married." ”

While saying this, Ye Qi carried her to the house.

Mother Zhang was originally ordered by the Bai family to wait under the corridor near the shadow wall, but she saw Ye Qi holding a fleshy little girl and coming in with a smile. Beside him were the twin brothers they had seen in the morning. It's not easy for her to come forward.

Runrun said this to Ye Qi, and turned around to look curiously at the scary people who were moving and lifting, and his body was about to twist into a small twist.

Ye Qi straightened her body, "Don't look at it, go back and send the gift list to your house, and take it to play if you like it." I can't hold you anymore. ”

Runrun hehehe, turned around and put his arms around her neck again, and said as if offering a treasure: "Then I will also send something to the uncle!" I'll be able to write a lot of words now, so I'll give you the best one I've ever written! ”

Her little appearance of begging for praise made Ye Qi smile, and she pretended to exaggerate and praised very cooperatively: "Our Runrun is awesome!" Then Uncle is waiting to receive your gift. ”

Zhang's mother listened to it under the porch. The eldest lord usually attaches great importance to the rules, although he is a businessman, but I heard that he has read the books of sages for many years, so he usually acts very well. Even when they are outside, these things are stored first, and then they are counted and sorted out by the little guy who can be trusted by the big man. Her lady didn't even take care of the key to the storeroom. Besides, it is even rarer for this little girl to coax the eldest master so happily with just one word.

Zhang's mother stood under the porch for a while, watching them go away, and then turned around and walked back.

Bai Shi was sitting in the room and waiting, and as soon as Zhang's mother entered the room, she stood up.

But seeing that there was no one behind her, she asked, "What about the old man?" Didn't meet it. ”

Zhang's mother replied: "See, it's just that the old man came back with the young master and the young lady in the house, and the old slave couldn't come forward." ”

Bai was disappointed. It's been two days since I returned home, and I didn't say anything about meeting Ye Qi alone, but I didn't say a word. When she first arrived, she was already a little apprehensive, and the attitude of the old lady during the day made her even more restless and uneasy.

On Ye Qi's side, he took a few children to the old lady's yard, so naturally he stayed for dinner, knowing that it was dark, so he came back with the Su family. After talking to his wife for a while, he went to see the Bai family in the courtyard.

Bai Shi never fell asleep, just waiting for him. When they met, she couldn't help but redden.

Ye Qi was puzzled: "Why are you crying when you're so good?" Not feeling well? ”

Bai Shi tucked the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and shook his head, "No, the concubine has only not seen the master for two days, and she misses it in her heart." ”

Ye Qi smiled and pulled her to sit down, "I just returned to the capital, and I've been busy these days." You don't have to wait for me, you eat and sleep well by yourself, and if you need anything, go to Madame. You should be careful yourself, you are not alone now, and you take care of your children a little. ”

He spoke softly, and Bai's hanging heart swallowed back into his stomach.

However, Ye Qi only talked to him for a while, and then stood up.

Bai Shi stood up with him, but Ye Qi patted her gently, "It's not early, you can rest." Then he turned his head and told Zhang's mother and Qingluo, "Your master has a body, you should also be vigilant, if you turn around, I will ask you for the crime first." ”

That's what it means to not stay.

Bai felt sad and wronged, but he didn't want to express it, so he watched him go.

Zhang's mother helped her sit down, and persuaded her: "The lady cried several times today, but don't cry again." Looking back, the old man blamed him, and the old slave couldn't afford it. ”

Bai Shi wiped his tears and said, "My lord doesn't look at me anymore, and my mother is still worried about this." ”

"The time spent in the capital is also short, if the lady is not happy, she can endure it for the time being, and then follow the master out of Beijing in the future, so you don't have to suffer such grievances."

Bai Shi shook his head, she had entered the Ye Mansion, how could she go back again?

At the beginning, the family worked hard to pave the road and let her get close to Ye Qi, didn't they value the background of this Ye Mansion? She's happy on the outside, but what's the use? Being an outroom with an unjustified name, that's definitely not what she's after.

Shinong businessmen, merchants have the lowest status. The Bai family has been in business for generations, and money is lacking, and what is lacking is just a step into the body. As long as she has a more competitive stomach, gives birth to the eldest son of the big house, and has a firm foothold in the Ye Mansion, she will have a good future in the future. She and the entire Bai family can seek benevolence!
