37. Gold bracelets

"There are many more flowers and plants in the kitchen than in the house, mother, don't lie to me!" The third lady looked like she would not be deceived, and she speculated in her heart that the old lady was deliberately provoking her, after all, she had not done anything in the past few days, and a lot of money had been thrown in. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh, I used to think that I could be in charge of the house, but when I was really in charge of the house, I found that not only could I not get any oil and water, but I also worked hard every day.

The old lady fell to the ground and still felt sorry for this daughter-in-law, and after saying a few more words, she gave some silver from her room to the third lady: "If you really can't figure out the door, just ask the Zheng family for advice, don't make mistakes again!" As soon as the third lady heard that the old lady asked her to ask the eldest lady for advice, her face immediately fell, and she was afraid of making the old lady angry, so she smiled vaguely. She originally wanted the eldest lady to take over the power of the family, so how could she put down her body and ask her for advice? The old lady is also really whimsical!

However, the third lady was not clueless, this time she went back to her parents' house first, and consulted her mother well, and in the end she slowly figured out the doorway in charge of flowers and trees. It's just that despite this, the third lady still spent a lot of silver taels, and she still couldn't understand why the second lady Bai only used so little money?

In fact, it is not difficult to tell the truth. On the first day Bai took over the kitchen, he completely cleared the accounts, only to find that the kitchen was not in deficit for a day or two. This year's usage is all borrowed from next year's usage, and I don't know where next year's usage is. Even if the four housekeepers are greedy, they don't dare to do this, so who is greedy for the kitchen money? Could it be the Great Lady?

However, it is too late to find out the truth, because the New Year's banquet is coming soon, so Bai has to take out his private money to supplement the kitchen, and finally understands why the old lady wants to set herself up. However, the money for a New Year's banquet is not in Bai's eyes. So judging from the books, the kitchen is such a big mess, but the silver is the least. Because the four housekeepers had a handle in Bai's hands, they almost obeyed Bai's words, which saved Bai a lot of effort and was able to concentrate on preparing for the New Year's banquet.

Sheng Xue saw that she was woken up by mint in the morning, she stretched out her little white hand and rubbed her eyes, and opened her mouth to ask, "Did Mother go to the kitchen again?" "These days, since my mother was in charge of the kitchen, I went to the kitchen every morning and didn't return to the orchid garden until the evening. Mint smiled and helped Sheng Xuejian up: "Today is the day to go to Yunjian Temple to worship the Buddha, and Mrs. is waiting for you in the flower hall!" ”

"Yes, it's finally time to worship the Buddha." Sheng Xue saw and muttered, there is a good show today. Mint didn't hear what Miss was saying, but just groomed her diligently. Bai's for today's Buddha is very important, specially let his daughter wear a plain clothes, just people with vision can know that this moire snow jacket is worth a lot, it seems that a white jacket is actually made of white fox fluff, and the surface is embroidered with snow silk moire, the sun will shine, if the immortal descends to earth.

Mint led Sheng Xue out of the inner room, Bai Shi was very satisfied with his daughter's dress, as a parent, who doesn't want his daughter to have a bright future? She is also looking forward to her daughter's dusty outfit to attract the attention of the abbot of Yunjian Temple, and to calculate a hexagram for her daughter.

"Our Aman is getting cuter!" Bai couldn't help but reach out and pinch Sheng Xuejian's pink and round little face. Sheng Xue said with a smile: "But my mother is getting fatter and fatter!" Tong Yan was so unscrupulous that Bai laughed out loud: "Mother is not fat, but the younger brother in the belly is growing up!" Sheng Xuejian couldn't help but come up and put the small meat paw on Bai's stomach, it was not yet time to show her arms, but Sheng Xuejian felt that she could feel this unborn brother. She silently said in her heart, brother, I will definitely protect you!

"By the way, put this on!" As if remembering something, Bai took out a gold bracelet from the strong box and put it on his daughter. Sheng Xue looked at this gold bracelet with some doubts. This bracelet is finely made, and the texture is high, especially the intricate ornamentation on the bracelet, it is a complete landscape painting, it is not uncommon for someone to carve flowers, birds, plants and trees on the bracelet, and it is rare in the world to carve a pair of landscapes to the bracelet, but this bracelet is a little big for herself, why should the mother wear this bracelet for herself?

Bai Shi muttered: "When Ah Man grows up again, this bracelet will be suitable." Sheng Xuejian looked up and asked, "Why did my mother wear this bracelet for Aman today?" Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a little doubt: "I don't know why, I always feel that I should put it on for you today." ”

Mama Sun came in from the outside room, saluted the Bai family, and said, "Madam, the old lady and they are all going to the door, let's hurry up!" Bai nodded, and instructed Mama Qian to bring all the things she was going to bring, and was about to bend down to hug Aman, but was stopped by the nurse: "Madam is now a person with a body, don't let yourself be too tired." Sheng Xue looked up and saw the nurse's worried eyes, and suddenly remembered that her mother had been working very hard in the kitchen these days, and if she did this for a long time, she would really hurt her younger brother in her belly!

"Don't worry, I'm measured." Bai Shi didn't think so, but Sheng Xuejian still took a step back and said, "Mother, Xuejian can walk!" With that, he took the lead alone. Bai's heart warmed, and Ah Man has become much more sensible recently. When the mother and daughter arrived at the door, everyone had already gotten into the carriage. There are not many carriages in the Sheng family, there are only five, the front two are driven by four horses, and the back three are only one horse-drawn carriage. Sheng Xue couldn't figure it out, in that case, why didn't he make four two-horse cars side by side?

Because Bai and Sheng Xue saw too late, naturally only the last carriage was left, Mama Qian and the nurse lifted the curtain, and saw Aunt Wu sitting in the car with Sheng Xueyan, Aunt Wu smiled at Bai and was about to get up and salute, Bai waved his hand and said: "When you go out, you will be exempted from saluting." Sheng Xue saw that she was still a child, and she didn't see it, as long as she thought of what Aunt Wu had committed before, she couldn't wait to let Aunt Wu go to hell now, so Sheng Xue pretended to be sleepy as soon as she got into the carriage, and leaned on Bai's tilted head and pretended to sleep.

After the last incense delivery, the Bai family naturally didn't want to pay attention to Aunt Wu, and also learned from her daughter to close her eyes and pretend to sleep. The atmosphere of the carriage has cooled down, Sheng Xueyan has been a lot more honest since she knelt in the ancestral hall last time, but her heart has not changed, and when she saw Sheng Xue entering the car, she stared at the moire snow jacket on her body.
