32. Leaving the beads
It is rare to have a sunny weather, the girls lifted the begonia wood deck chair to the yard, put a wooden screen around it, Sheng Xue saw the nest in the sun, lay on the chair, and used the book to block the sunlight to see the beauty technique. Now that she is literate, occasionally holding a book and pretending to look at it, the nurse and mother will only praise Sheng Xue's hard work, and will not doubt anything else. Sheng Xue saw that she was looking at this rejuvenation technique brightly, and thought in her heart that it would be a bit of a waste for her to use these recipes, and it would be a wonderful thing if everyone in the world used them.
Mint brought a box of peach blossom cakes, put them on the coffee table next to the chair, and gently persuaded: "Miss, you have to rest for a while, this hurts your eyes." Sheng Xue chuckled and put the book down: "I know." Why hasn't the mother come back yet? "After the morning and dusk, the old lady left her mother alone, and Sheng Xue saw that she couldn't stay, so she had to come back first. But an hour has passed, and her mother has not returned, Sheng Xue is a little anxious.
"Madame, slow down!" As she was talking, Mama Qian came into the door with the Bai family. Sheng Xue saw that her mother's face was not very good, could it be that she was angry with the old lady? As soon as Bai saw his daughter, he immediately said, "It's still very cold this weather, how can you let Miss read outside?" What nonsense! Several girls were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground, Sheng Xue got down from the chair with a smile and threw herself into her mother's arms: "I asked them to do this, the weather is so good today, come out to bask in the sun." ”
"Carefully typhoid fever again!" Bai looked at Sheng Xue worriedly. "No, I'm in a good mood when I look at the scenery in the yard." Sheng Xue shook her head and said. Since the last time he proposed to clean up the bamboo garden, the Bai family has cleaned up the entire North Garden, and the four gardens of Meilan Bamboo and Chrysanthemum have been planted with flowers and plants that meet the requirements, these are the cherished flowers and trees brought back by the little uncle, so the scenery in this garden is the old lady's South Garden. Hearing her daughter say this, Bai couldn't help but look around, although it was cold winter, but these rare flowers and trees are blooming here, especially the winter orchid and golden plum, and there seems to be a fragrance in the garden. Probably the old man will like it, Bai sighed faintly in his heart.
"Mother, did grandmother secretly give you candy to eat, so you asked Aman to come back alone?" Sheng Xue looked up and asked playfully. When Bai heard this, his originally relaxed expression sank again. "Grandmother didn't give my mother candy, and Ah Man was hungry and asked the small kitchen to make snacks. Removed all of this, it was very windy outside. The girls kneeling on the ground all got up and cleaned up the screens, tables and chairs. Sheng Xue stuck out her tongue and guessed in her heart that it seemed that her mother had encountered something tricky.
I hate myself for being a child now, and my mother doesn't want to tell me about something. Then there was only the old way, Sheng Xue yawned when she saw it: "Aman wants to sleep." Mother hugged~" Bai bent down skillfully and picked up his daughter, entered the bedroom, sat on the bed and patted Sheng Xuejian's back for a while, and then Sheng Xue "fell asleep" after seeing it for a while.
At this time, the Bai family sighed slightly, and Mama Qian said: "Madam, the old lady's meaning is irreversible, how can we be good?" Bai put down his daughter, and said while covering the quilt for his daughter: "It's okay for a New Year's banquet, I can still get this money, but I'm afraid that the old lady will open her mouth in the future, how can I fill it." Why didn't the New Year's banquet go from the accounts of the public middle school, but came to me to ask for it? ”
Sheng Xue, who pretended to be asleep, saw her eyelashes tremble slightly, it turned out to be like this. It turned out that the old lady really opened her mouth to her mother Lion, and it seemed that no matter how she hid it, she was still remembered. When I first entered the Sheng family, the dozen or so cars of things were too eye-catching, and anyone could guess that my mother's dowry was rich. The Sheng family's annual banquet is not as simple as a meal. The annual banquet is also the time when the Sheng family worships their ancestors, and the temple offered by the Sheng family has to offer a large amount of incense money, which is not a small amount. Coupled with the fatigue of the carriage and horses, and the sacrifices, the old lady planned to let her mother come out.
The Bai family is naturally not wronged, she also did business at home in her early years, and she knew how much a New Year's banquet would cost in the Sheng family, so she didn't agree immediately. However, the old lady's expression had sunk, and she took out the woman's three virtues and four virtues to teach, and faintly accused Bai of not understanding filial piety. Therefore, Bai's face will be bad.
Sheng Xue thought secretly in her heart, this wronged boss can't be avoided, since it's a blessing or a curse, it's better to agree, but this answer should have a condition, how can anyone be wronged in vain, and always ask the old lady for something! Bai didn't know that his daughter was pretending to sleep, so he told Mama Qian a lot of things. "The old man will come back at the New Year's banquet, if I don't agree to the old lady, and the old lady will give the old man a face again, what should I do?"
Bai knows that the old man in his family is the most reluctant to have trouble with the old lady, although he is not the biological son of the old lady Wu, but in terms of filial piety, he is better than the biological son of the Wu family. If the old lady gave him a look, he would have to blame himself again. The more he thought about it, the more Bai felt a headache.
When she was upset, the girl who was waiting outside came to pass: "Madam, Aunt Wu is here." Mama Qian couldn't help muttering: "She's running too diligently these days." Bai Shi frowned slightly, then straightened his clothes and went out. Sheng Xue saw that she sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and Mint, who was waiting on the side, was startled, and was about to speak, when she saw the young lady make a "shhhh ”
Mint didn't know why, so he had to listen to the order to help Sheng Xuejian dress and put on shoes. Sheng Xue saw that as soon as she got out of bed, she lay by the door and listened to Aunt Wu talking to her mother outside. These days, Aunt Wu is too quiet and self-contained, but she makes Sheng Xue feel like a great enemy. Aunt Wu's laughter came from outside: "Look, the concubine, Mrs. must be a handsome son!" Bai's gentle smile, I don't know why, every time Aunt Wu came, she slowly lost her spirit, but Aunt Wu came for half an hour and an hour, and don't drive people away, it really gave Bai's headache.
Aunt Wu coaxed Bai's happiness with words, while secretly observing Bai's expression, watching Bai's yawn again and again, and then got up to say goodbye. And mint had already sneezed in the room several times, and if she hadn't forced her voice, she was afraid that she would be alarmed outside. Sheng Xue looked at Mint suspiciously and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Mint said helplessly: "Miss, Aunt Wu doesn't know what kind of incense is used on her body, every time she comes back, the slave can smell it, and she can't help but sneeze when she smells it, and the slave doesn't want to." ”
"What did you say?" Sheng Xue saw that something suddenly came to mind: "You said incense?" Mint rubbed her nose and said, "Miss, can't you smell it?" The fragrance was too strong. ”
