The sun rises in the east, and the morning breeze rises lightly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wisps of gold are sprinkled, the blue bricks and blue tiles, the carved fences and jade masonry, the rockery strange stones, the blue pond is secluded, and the pink and white lotus flowers bloom brilliantly in the morning sun; The patchwork of housing estates, standing between the mountains and rivers, is warm and quiet.

In the tactful nine-curved corridor, the maids and maids of threes and twos run back and forth early, waiting for the needs of the owners of the house.

Bai Shuixin just put on his clothes under the service of the red sleeves, this ancient clothes are three layers inside and three layers outside, fortunately it is not summer, otherwise it will not die of heat.

She was wearing a white narcissus collared triple skirt, embroidered with small water-colored flowers, and the waist seal of the blue powder belt held Qianqian's thin waist in a tight grip. A head of green silk is pulled up with a carved wooden hairpin. There was a loop of gauze wrapped around his head.

The clean dressing box and few jewelry lay there, and Bai Shuixin only left a silver hairpin and a pair of silver bracelets, and the rest was put away by the red sleeves for rewarding the next person.

After asking, I found out that she had jewelry before, but her good sister coaxed her every time she saw her get something good, anyway, she didn't go out, and it was a waste to use these, so she didn't have a box of rouge gouache now.

Besides, her monthly routine is pitiful every month, and sometimes she can't even compare to a third-class maid.

Where's her monthly routine?

The answer is unknown.

Today is the 7749th day of the retreat of the old lady of Baifu, and she should be out of the customs today.

"Red Sleeves, are you ready for what you have prepared?"

"All Ready"

Redsleeves said as he placed something wrapped in a red cloth on the table.

Bai Shuixin lifted a corner, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction.

I didn't expect Red Sleeves' hands to be so skillful, and one night's work was baked with powder.

This is her own craft, and often she makes imitations that are enough to confuse the real thing, especially in this era when there are no microscopes and magnifying glasses.

"Let's go"

The old lady's "Ningxinyuan" is southern, and it is in the same direction as Baishuixin's "Guisiyuan", so it will be there quickly.

The old lady believes in Buddhism all the year round, and smells a strong sandalwood fragrance from afar.

I heard that the old lady is usually fine, and she almost doesn't go out of the door. I don't hear anything outside the window, and I recite Buddhist scriptures in the nunnery.

The robes that turned red, the head was wrapped in a dark green gold silk scarf inlaid with jade, the hands were holding a string of Buddha beads, a weather-beaten face, two deep-set eyes, deep and bright, and they looked very divine; The hair is very neat and tidy.

Mama Liu and Mama Xia stood beside the old lady like clay sculptures.

Bai Shuixin came in and saw such a scene.

"Granddaughter greets grandmother"

Bai Shuixin half-squatted and made a big salute, only to see that the old woman didn't even lift her eyelids.

After a while, she didn't mean to wake her up, and Mama Xia, who was standing beside her, took a cup of official kiln lacquer porcelain cup and handed it to the old lady.

"Old lady, the eldest lady is here"

The old lady glanced up at her, took a sip of the teacup, and handed it to Mama Xia before she spoke.

"Get Up"

As soon as Bai Shuixin straightened up, he heard the old lady say again.

"I heard you went to meet your father at the gates of the city yesterday?"

"Back to my grandmother, Shui Xin was ignorant in the past, immersed in the pain of losing her mother, and ignored the love you and my father gave me, which is really unfilial. It was only yesterday that I woke up and hurried to greet my father. broke the rules and wore the clothes of a small maid and sneaked out of the back door, and the mother was tolerant and asked the grandmother to punish him. ”

In the past, you had no one to care about me, leaving me to fend for myself, but I still have a pure heart. Because the housewife is not her own, she not only restricts the freedom of Miss Yifu, but also has no decent jewelry, and she will not be punished if she is wrong.

These words made the old lady stunned, and she couldn't help but glance at Bai Shuixin up and down, hanging her head slightly, her appearance had not changed, but her demeanor had changed completely, less cowardly, and more calm and calm. If you look closely, there is still a bandage on your forehead, and you can faintly see that the wound is still dripping with blood.

The brows furrowed even deeper, how did Tian's housewife be?

"Help your young lady sit down"

The red sleeves "belched", and sat down on a chair near Bai Shuixin.

"What's going on with the head?"

Bai Shuixin subconsciously reached out and touched the gauze wrapped around his head, looked at the Tian mother and daughter who were about to enter the door with trepidation, and then looked at the old lady, then lowered his head, shook his head, and said.

"It was my granddaughter who accidentally fell and broke her head, so it's out of the way."

That look, he was clearly wronged, but he didn't dare to say it.

Look in the old lady's eyes and sigh. This granddaughter obviously suffered a grievance and didn't say anything, and Tian refused to eat at all.

Turning his head to Mama Xia and commanding a few words, Mama nodded slightly and withdrew.

"Can you find a doctor?"

"It's not in the way, my granddaughter has already taken the medicine, but the medicine was brought by Red Sleeves"

After that, he lowered his head, and his long eyelashes were like butterflies moving down the eyelashes, so that people couldn't see Bai Shuixin's expression at this time, let alone the light that flashed under his eyes.

The seeds of dissatisfaction have been planted, and how to grow depends on how to develop.

"Meet Mother"

"Meet Grandma"

While speaking, Tian's mother came with all the money, the long charm still exists, the motherly bearing of the head of the house is undoubted, the young demeanor is outstanding, beautiful and lovely, but the poisonous light and greed in the eyes of the two have discounted the posture of the mother and daughter.

"Hmph, the old body can't afford your big gift"

Tian heard that the old lady was dissatisfied, and when he saw Bai Shuixin sitting on the side, he thought that the little slut must have exposed her shortcomings, and glared fiercely.

"What did my mother say, knowing that you were out of the customs today, my daughter-in-law hurriedly threw down the work in her hand and rushed over?"

"It seems that Tian is very busy."

"Mother, isn't it for the prime minister's house that I work hard? There are 200 people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am taking care of all 30 shops. ”

The Tian family, who was hiding his pure proximity, did not see the old lady, and his eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, and he said hurriedly.

"Hmph, how do you take care of it? I'm a dignified young lady, not to mention my clothes, and no one cares if I'm injured, because my wife died? I think Tian's family, you are the housewife, you have also done it, haven't you? ”

Tian was taken aback and immediately became incoherent. There is Bai Shuixin in the front, and Aunt Jing in the back.

"I, I didn't"

Bai Shuirou slowly straightened up, and the lotus step squatted down on the old lady's side, and her simple little hand was clenched into a fist, and she gently beat the old lady is leg.

"Grandmother misunderstood my mother, yesterday my father brought back Aunt Jing, who was three months pregnant, and has been waiting for my mother, but I don't have the effort, and I just found my mother from Aunt Jing."

"Bold, who is the aunt? What happened to pregnancy? When the housewife does this, you are also the first Tian! ”

When the words fell, I saw a pink gauze skirt with an emerald green smoke skirt at the hem. When walking, the head full of golden forks and jade pendants jingled. Behind him, the four maidservants were all dressed in gold and silver, and a group of people came from outside the door. The woman at the head is the protagonist of the topic, Aunt Jing.

I saw that after entering the door, I picked up the teacup of the maid behind me, and my legs were slightly bent.

"The concubine asks the old lady to say goodbye, and the old lady invites tea."

The old lady frowned fiercely, and did not raise the corners of her eyes, as if she had not heard. Mama Liu behind her shouted

"Where did you come from, cats and dogs, how do you watch the door in Biqiu, everyone puts them in the yard!"

Bai Shuixin smiled secretly, this Aunt Jing is also the best Hetian family's score, forget it, and come to the old lady to show off her martial arts, her head was kicked by a donkey.

Aunt Jing heard that the old lady meant not to recognize her, and her heart was anxious, and she knelt down with a "poof".

"Old lady, the concubine knows her mistakes, you can punish me no matter how you want, but the little young master in my belly can't stand it."

The corners of the old lady's eyes are slight, and she dares to threaten her? But what is in the belly is the seed of the Bai family, and the Bai family is now two girls, thinking of this, the old lady threw a swipe at the gloating Tian family.

Half a ring, the old lady took the teacup but didn't drink it, which can be regarded as admitting Aunt Jing's identity.

"It seems that you don't understand everyone's rules, teach her well today."

"Bah" Tian immediately raised his eyebrows, the old lady is using her prestige.

The old lady's cloudy eyes flashed brightly, and when she looked around, everyone followed the maids and maids in twos and threes, and only Bai Shuixin was thin.

Slightly darkened, and instructed Mama Liu.

"The heart of the water is also big, and there can't be no one around to serve you, so tomorrow I will call Ya Po to pick a few capable people."

"Yes," Mama Liu responded.

"Grandmother Xie"

This scene fell in Bai Shuirou's eyes, how dazzling and dazzling it was. Usually this slut doesn't speak when she sees her grandmother, and her grandmother ignores her existence. In the eyes, Miss Xiangfu was the only one herself, and now she actually jumped out, which is really hateful.

"By the way, grandmother, when my granddaughter was wandering outside a few days ago, she found this and thought that her grandmother must like it, so she bought it to honor you."

glanced at the red sleeves, and the red sleeves immediately picked up the red cloth wrapped in things and walked towards the old lady, but suddenly her feet were crooked, and Bai Shuirou next to her stretched out her hand and pushed, "Ah...", the red sleeves fell to the ground along with the things in their hands.

"Whoa", the thing shattered, and the red sleeve's hand immediately broke.

"Red Sleeves!"

Bai Shuixin immediately stood up and threw himself over to help up the red sleeves.

Red Sleeves immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing to admit his mistakes.

"It's the slave's fault, it's the slave's carelessness, the slave damned it, and broke the old lady's things."

"Sister, why are you reaching out and pushing Red Sleeves?"

"I... I..."

Bai Shuirou, who was talking to herself, was also confused, just now it was obviously the red sleeves that fell towards her, she subconsciously reached out and pushed, who knew that she would fall.

"Get up, I don't blame you for this"

The old lady sank her face, looked at the red cloth that Bai Shuixin had opened, revealing the lacquered gold Guanyin statue inside, and her face suddenly changed.

This is blasphemy!

"What kind of treasure should I be, but a mud bodhisattva"

When Bai Shuirou saw that thing, she was obviously relieved.

Tian also showed a look of disdain.

"Isn't it just a Buddha statue, and it's not worth much."

The more the old lady listened, the more ugly her face became, but she pursed her mouth and did not speak.

"One hundred taels of silver may not be a big deal for my mother, but this is all of Shui Xin's belongings, and Shui Xin's monthly routine is only two taels of silver, even if it is frugal, I can't save any silver..."

Bai Shuixin pursed his lips, holding the broken statue of Guanyin, looking regretful. The beads the size of beans broke like threads and fell down from their red-stained eye sockets.
