Chapter 162: First Sight (4)
Bai Yaozong opened his mouth slightly, Bai Shijun and Mrs. Bai also saw that Bai Qingting intended to teach Bai Yaozong, Bai Qingting asked, and the husband and wife looked at their only son.
Bai Yaozong didn't chase after Bai Qingting anymore, he was silent, and his little head hung down in thought.
"Think about it, and tell the third sister a few possibilities tomorrow."
"Good!"
Bai Qingting didn't want to stand outside the gate anymore, so after throwing a question for Bai Yaozong to think about, she revealed Bai Yaozong's original question:
"Since the six aunts have heard the news and have come out of the house with their mother, and not to mention whether the people in the other rooms have heard the news, how can the mighty group of people who say that their father and mother have attracted the attention of some people.
But Zong'er, you see, the third sister recognizes her father, mother, and eldest sister, and Yu'er reported that she is the fifth sister, and the mother previously asked the six aunts to go back to the hospital first, so that you are the only one left, and the third sister looks at the face.
This will make the third sister think, all the people who came out of the house today are people from our eldest room, and there is no one in the other rooms, so the third sister looks at your very similar face to your father, and guesses that you are the little Zong'er who was four years old when I left home, why is it difficult? ”
After Bai Qingting finished speaking, everyone understood.
Xiao Er and Xiao Qi were very shocked, they thought that the girl would recognize the fifth son of the Bai family only by virtue of the Bai family's picture album given by the son, isn't it?
Actually, yes!
But Bai Qingting was so decomposed that even they had to suspect that the girl had forgotten the album, and she really analyzed Bai Yaozong's identity in this way!
Bai Yaozong listened. Different from everyone's understanding, he actually smiled brightly: "Third sister, you have been in the palace alone for nine years, although I have never even been to Kyoto's Heavenly Mansion, but since I was a child, I have asked what the palace looks like!" Ever since I started to know the matter, I always felt that the third sister could go from a palace maid to the head of the female officials of the court, which is really amazing! ”
He bowed deeply and said sincerely: "When I first saw the third sister today, Zong'er was taught!" ”
Bai Qingting was a little fluttery by his bow, originally she was just to round up the horse's feet that she had accidentally exposed. But in the end, it turned out to be a younger brother who adored her. What a bonus!
"Zong'er is smart, in time, the achievement will definitely be above the third sister!" Bai Qingting helped Bai Yaozong up, and he also said sincerely.
Seeing that Bai Qingting and Bai Yaozong's sister and brother had a deep affection and sympathy for each other. Bai Shijun couldn't help but sigh secretly. He has finally a successor in the line of the Bai family's long house!
Mrs. Bai stepped forward and pulled the two sisters and brothers up one by one. Huanxi said: "Okay, you two sisters and brothers have something to talk about, and it's not too late to talk later." Hurry up and get in now! ”
"Yes, Mother!"
Bai Qingting and Bai Yaozong responded at the same time, and they looked at each other and smiled.
Mrs. Bai led the sister and brother into the gate of the Bai Mansion, Bai Shijun and Bai Hongjuan, Bai Chengyu followed, Xiao Er, Xiao Qi and Xiao Chun Finally, the group walked towards the east compound while talking and laughing.
The old lady and the old lady of the Bai family are still alive, and now the Bai family has a total of four rooms, three concubines and one concubine, and there is also an old aunt and grandmother who has been out of the cabinet, which is not counted.
The four rooms all live in the courtyard of this big mansion, and they have not been separated, and no one has mentioned it, or no one dares to mention it.
The two ancestors of Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai are alive, and if they don't speak for a day, no one in their four rooms will dare to start first, in the end, the two ancestors are also blessed, and the four houses and grandchildren are surrounded by their knees, although they are not a decent person, but they are all filial piety first!
In addition to the outer courtyards of Baifu, the inner courtyard is divided into five courtyards, which are one courtyard in the southeast, northwest, and middle of each courtyard.
The two ancestors lived in the middle compound, the eldest room Bai Shijun lived in the east compound, the second room Bai Shiyang lived in the south compound, the third room Bai Shiyan lived in the west compound, and the Changfang Bai Shitong family lived in the north compound.
Each courtyard covers a wide area, including the atrium atrium, the courtyard in the courtyard, the pavilion in the pavilion, the building in the building, the strange flowers and plants, the strange rocks and false mountains, the flowing water and the heavy corridor, you can see everywhere as soon as you enter, you can't help but dazzle.
The main hall of the outer courtyard and the flower hall on both sides of the main hall have their own folding corridors, and you can enter the flow garden behind the main hall and the flower hall by passing through one of the folding corridors at will.
The flow garden is very bright and spacious, the pavilions and pavilions are the guest houses, the small garden at the center point prevails, and there are five marble walkways between the flowers that extend in the five directions of the flow garden, and there is a round arch at the end of each of the five walkways, which is a door divided by the five inner courtyards and the outer courtyards, and there are servants in the house guarding at all times.
After entering the Liuyuan, Bai Qingting and the others walked to the small garden, and Mrs. Bai pointed to five walkways that had been clean for some years and explained to her:
"These five corridors lead to the five inner courtyards of our Bai family, the middle one is the middle compound leading to your grandfather and grandmother, and the other four lead to the Bai family's four-room courtyard......"
Madame Bai explained as she walked all the way, Bai Qingting looked at it from time to time and nodded, and when she heard that when she really walked into the main hall of the east compound, she actually walked for three quarters of an hour!
She couldn't help but groan in her heart, will she go back and forth in this mansion that can compare with a palace in the palace!
Another one she has a doubt, her cheap father is a clean official, although he is not clean on his sleeves, but he has not been corrupt or bribed, and his family should not be able to afford to live in such a big mansion!
Could it be an ancestral home?
Soon, Mrs. Bai answered for her with certainty: "It's an ancestral house, but later, because there were more and more children and grandchildren, and the Bai family had so much spare money, the old lady ordered it to be expanded, and it has become the ...... of today's scale after being built over the years."
It's not that there is so much spare money, but there is a lot of spare money!
Bai Qingting was speechless, and then remembered that Bai Shiyang, the third uncle of the Bai family, was the richest man in Shangyuan County after the Ming family, and she understood.
Old lady Bai wants to use silver taels, this Bai Shiyang is the richest master of the entire Bai family, he can't look at it in vain.
As the saying goes, if you have money, you can make a strong contribution, and the silver and white Shiyang who expanded Baifu should be the most out.
Although there is this speculation, it is not certain, after all, there are more selfish people in this world.
Bai Qingting was also really tired, and went back to her own courtyard to rest, and asked Mrs. Bai without any extra questions.
After tomorrow, she will have time to get to know the Bai family well.
Madame Bai could also see Bai Qingting's tiredness, and after a few words, she asked the eldest girl next to her, Huan Xiaoxia, to lead Bai Qingting, Xiao Er, and Xiao Qi to Yingting Tower.
In the end, Mrs. Bai was still not at ease, Bai Qingting and the others took a few steps out of the main hall of the east compound, and she chased after her with a loving smile: "It's better for my mother to personally lead the pavilion to it!" ”
Bai Qingting watched Mrs. Bai hold her hand tightly and walk out step by step, and after entering a folding corridor, she came back to her senses, looking at the sky a little helplessly and a little unaccustomed.
Blue sky and white clouds, the scenery is just right, this cheap mother is too enthusiastic, she can't stand it a little! (To be continued.) )
