Chapter 13: Approval
Bai Lian looked at the woman, only to see that she was wearing plain clothes, and even the headdress was not very eye-catching, and she sighed in her heart, this is what the concubine room should look like, where is it like Aunt Liu, I don't know how thick the sky is.
The woman walked up to the old lady white, kowtowed in a proper manner, and said in her mouth:
"Concubine Yaoniang greets the old lady."
I saw that the old lady Bai smiled and said gently:
"Get up, you have a body, and you don't need to do these false rituals in the future, be careful."
After Mrs. Bai finished speaking, Bai Lian was still surprised in her heart, and she had to say that this was the most generous housemother Bai Lian had ever seen since she was born, and she didn't even have the slightest tone of dissatisfaction.
Then I saw the woman who called herself Yao Niang walk in front of Xu's and bent down to give Xu's gift, Bai Lian was dumbfounded, this Yao Niang's gift to Xu's was clearly a concubine's gift to the master's mother.
Subsequently, Xu's performance broke Bai Lian's doubts.
I saw Xu's chest rise and fall a few times, as if he was holding back his anger, and after a while, I heard Xu speak:
"Get up, the old lady said you don't need to salute, just listen."
Yao Niang listened to Xu's slightly unkind tone, disagreed, responded respectfully, stood up, and stood behind Xu in a proper manner.
Bai Lian only now understood that this Yao Niang was the concubine of the Bai family's uncle. It's really misleading.
On an occasion like today, let alone Yao Niang, even if she is as favored as Aunt Liu, she is not qualified to come in, but I didn't expect that Old Madam Bai not only did not blame, but treated her very leniently. Compared with the attitude towards Xu's family, he treats Yao Niang like a daughter-in-law.
This is probably the reason why Xu's face has been black since then, and the black is blue and blue, probably because of this aunt's belly.
Everyone was paying attention to Old Lady Bai's movements, only Bai Lian had nothing to do, quietly looking at Xu and the aunt behind her.
I saw that the aunt rubbed her waist as if unintentionally when Mrs. Bai came over, and then I heard Mrs. Bai instruct the people around her:
"Go and move a pestle for Aunt Jiang to sit on, she has a body, and it is not appropriate to stand for a long time."
It turned out that the aunt's surname was Jiang, and Bai Lian muttered in her heart.
After Mrs. Bai finished speaking, she saw that Xu's face was very uncomfortable, her lips were tightly closed, and Bai Lian thought that if she stood by Xu's side at this moment, she was afraid that she could still hear the sound of Xu's teeth grinding.
I don't know anything else, about Xu's jealousy, Bai Lian has heard of it.
The maids in the courtyard often compare the masters, and the object of comparison is the Xu family in the big room and the Wei family in the third room.
Not to mention, there have been cases of maids climbing on the bed in the big room and the fifth room, without comparing the degree of the male owner's scum, just looking at the attitude of the female owner, you can see the mentality of Xu and Wei's to deal with people.
Wei may not care about the white inscription, but after the maid climbed into bed, Wei didn't think about how to deal with the maid who betrayed the master, but felt that it was all the white inscription anyway, so he simply mentioned the aunt and asked them to hook up/partner openly, so as not to be an eyesore in front of themselves.
Xu's family also had a personal maid, taking advantage of Bai Mingxin's drunkenness to sneak into the bed, but before dawn the next day, he was beaten half to death by the people led by Xu's family, and then sold it far away.
In the same situation, Wei's annoyance is a man, and Xu's hatred is a woman.
If Bai Lian wants to say that she thinks that being a housewife should be like Xu's, with means and ruthlessness, not to mention anything else, to strangle any threats to her children in the future, in the cradle, so that she can be a qualified housewife.
Wei's like that, if it sounds good, it is high, and if it is bad, it is stupid. Hey, don't mention it!
Therefore, for this pregnant Aunt Jiang, Bai Lian was very curious, how did she stay by Bai Mingxin's side for so long? can also follow Bai Mingxin to take office.
Bai Lian couldn't help but look at her a little more.
Bai Lian was in a daze, not noticing that Old Madam Bai had already told Old Madam Bai about a few girls in the family.
"That is Bai Ning, the seventh girl of the second family, and the last one to sit is the eldest daughter of the fifth child, the ninth girl, because she was born in June, she was named Bailian. There are also two girls in the old fifth room, who are a little uncomfortable in the morning, and the old five families didn't take them. ”
Old Lady Bai's gaze swept over them one by one, and when it was Bai Lian's turn, he paused.
I saw that she was wearing a red brocade placket, with an inconspicuous string of gold locks around her neck, she was born white, and between her eyebrows and eyes she was quite like Wei's, but her fleshy face was a little more cute, but it looked more eye-catching than the girls in front of her.
Old lady Bai paused not because Bai Lian looked cute in ice and snow, but because the other girls were sitting in a decent manner, when Old Madam Bai spoke, she either looked at herself with admiration, or lowered her head shyly, only Bai Lian was alone, sitting quietly, with a full face, and couldn't stop sighing.
Such an expression and demeanor appear on a three-child child, which is indeed eye-catching.
"Nine girls, what are you thinking with a sigh?"
The hall was suddenly quiet, and when the voice of the old lady Bai came, Bai Lian had already come back to her senses, thinking that this Nine Girls was shouting no one else, it was herself, she gathered her mind and replied respectfully:
"Back to my grandfather's words, my granddaughter is thinking about my sisters."
Bai Lian's words are clear, and her tone carries the original childishness of a child.
"Oh? At this time, how do you think of your sister? ”
Bai Lian tilted her head and said innocently:
"If they knew that their grandfather was back today, but they didn't come, how much they would regret it!"
Bai Lian's voice was crisp and pleasant, and she was deliberately acting obediently to please at the moment, which sounded even better.
Seeing her in a daze, Old Lady Bai asked her casually, but he didn't expect her to answer like this, so he couldn't help but ask again:
"Why do you regret it?"
Bai Lian listened to Old Lady Bai's question, blinked, and seemed to be thinking about how to answer, and after a while, she heard Bai Lian reply:
"Daddy said that my grandfather was a powerful person, and they must regret not seeing them today."
When Bai Lian talked about Ding Ding, she pouted, as if she was very proud, and the old lady Bai was in a good mood when she heard it, glanced at the white inscription, stroked her long beard and laughed loudly.
Old lady Bai laughed, and the others laughed along.
Then Mrs. Bai praised Bai Lian for being smart and clever, and asked the maid to go over and hug her to her side, and the old lady Bai looked at the white lotus powder and tender lump of flesh, which was very cute and pleasing, and took off a piece of jade pendant from her waist and put it in Bai Lian's hand.
Bai Lian looked through it, the jade quality is high-quality, although it is not a scarce kind, but it is also difficult to find.
Bai Lian raised her head and said with a smile:
"Granddaughter Grandpa Xie."
