Chapter 30: The Master Enters the Mansion
When Bai Wenyuan was leaving, he took out a small piece of gold jewelry and handed it to Aunt Su, hoping that Aunt Su would like it. When Bai Wenyuan had already descended, he saw the master who was looking for him. It is a husband and wife, both from other places, of course, the time to come to the capital is not short, there are also a year or two. was in Guozijian before, but I don't know why, the two of them left Guozijian together.
Bai Wenyuan is very happy, if he really has real talent and real learning, he can teach the children in the house well. It's an excellent thing, so Bai Wenyuan led the husband and wife to Mei's courtyard. I have seen the Mei family, the Mei family is the eldest lady of the White Mansion, and now the ancestor is not in the mansion. Mei is the wife of the family, Mei received the husband and wife with a smile, and the husband and wife are still very young.
Twenty-five or sixteen years old, of course Mei was very satisfied. "In the future, the children in the house will trouble you and your husband." Mei looked at the husband and wife in front of him kindly, the husband's name was Su Zhiyi, the female husband was surnamed with her husband, and her maiden name was Min Yue. The husband and wife thanked Mei, and Bai Wenyuan left the Bai Mansion when he was busy with the affairs of the military department. It was Mei who followed the husband and wife and talked about the children in the house.
It can be regarded as letting the husband and wife know in advance, of course, Mei deliberately looked at the female master, Su Minyue spoke: "Su Niangzi, but I want to trouble you, although the second and third young ladies are my daughters." But if they make any mistakes, please ask Mrs. Su to discipline them a lot, and I will thank Mrs. Su in advance. Su Minyue hurriedly thanked Mei, "Madam, please rest assured, Min Yue is in mind." ”
Honggu took the two masters to her place of residence, and was ready to start classes in the afternoon. After Honggu came back, Mei Shi said softly: "What do you think of this couple?" Honggu frowned, "Madam, the slave maid is still not clear, and it still needs to be observed, and the slave maid is clear." "You said that you just came now, I don't know, it's also a normal thing, Mei Shi waved his hand, "Okay, I know, you go and inform the young masters and young ladies now, and the class will start this afternoon."
Let them each get ready, but when the time comes, they will be disgraced in the white mansion, you know? Honggu hurriedly went down, and at this moment in the courtyard of the husband and wife, Su Minyue looked at Su Zhiyi seriously: "Xianggong, are we okay now?" Su Zhiyi gently hugged Su Minyue's shoulder, "Madam, now that it's this time, what else do we have to be afraid of, Baifu is also the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War." They dare not do anything to us, ma'am, and they will be at peace when they come. ”
Su Zhiyi was comforting Su Minyue, and Su Minyue nodded seriously: "Xianggong, the concubine listens to you, I hope we are safe in Baifu." The husband and wife looked at each other.
Bai Jinxiu listened to Aunt Hong's words and said that classes would start in the afternoon, and Bai Jinxiu nodded gently: "Aunt Hong, thank you for coming to run, I know." Go back and tell your mother that Xiu'er will not let her mother worry. Saying that, she looked at Mama Wang, and Mama Wang also knew it in her heart. Second Miss rest assured, if you say, the slave will bring it to Madame, and the slave will leave first, not to disturb Second Miss. ”
Saying that Honggu said goodbye, "Mama Wang, go and send Honggu." When Mama Wang got the order, she immediately sent Honggu away, of course, she gave Honggu twenty taels of silver. Honggu was a little surprised in her heart, every time she was willing to come to Bai Jinxiu's house to have an errand, Bai Jinxiu was not a stingy person. Mama Wang said with a smile: "It's a little meaning, please accept it." Not a tribute! ”
Although Honggu is very sincere to Mei's, when it comes to money, Honggu is too little and not afraid of more. Honggu hurriedly took it, "Go back and thank the second lady for the slave, then don't disturb Mama Wang." Saying that, Mama Wang sent Honggu to the gate of the courtyard, and Xiaoju looked at Bai Jinxiu seriously, "Second Miss, you have read a lot of books during this time, why do you want to let the master teach you now." ”
Xiaoju is praising Bai Jinxiu? "Xiaoju, you still don't understand, Mama Wang, what do you think is the benefit of the master's teaching?" Now it is Bai Jinxiu who is testing Mama Wang, Mama Wang smiled lightly, "Second Miss, if you are still a slave, you will be ugly." Bai Jinxiu looked at Mama Wang with a smile, "Mama Wang, say it!" It's also good to let Xiaoju study hard. Xiao Ju pouted, "Second Miss, you will make fun of the slave." ”
"Second Miss, this time I invited the master into the house, but the master meant. Since it is the master invited by the master, the slave and maid believe that it is naturally good in knowledge and character. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. In the afternoon, the second miss can listen carefully to what the master said to see if what the master said makes sense. Mama Wang respectfully waited for Bai Jinxiu to answer.
Bai Jinxiu smiled faintly and nodded: "It's still Mama Wang who knows a lot, okay, Xiaoju, now I know!" Not all women are talentless or virtuous. After saying that, Bai Jinxiu continued to read, and Xiao Ju smiled dumbly. When Honggu arrived at Meng's house and told Meng, it naturally made Meng's very happy. Bai Jinyue and Bai Jinya were also very happy, but they could be regarded as having a master, and the Meng family also gave Honggu a reward of ten taels of silver.
However, when she arrived at Bai Jinxian's yard, Honggu said that she told Bai Jinxian. Bai Jinxian didn't like to study, of course she hated her master. There was no politeness at all, and he looked at Honggu impatiently: "Honggu, I know, you go down!" Honggu suddenly felt that Bai Jinxian had no courtesy at all, thinking that she had gone to Bai Jinxiu's yard, and there was tea to drink, Bai Jinxiu was also very polite to herself.
But when she arrived at Bai Jinxian's courtyard, she seemed to be Bai Jinxian's subordinate, and Bai Jinxian had no courtesy at all. But Honggu is not lightly angry, of course, in Honggu's heart. There was already a difference between Bai Jinxiu and Bai Jinxian, and Mama Bai said softly: "Third Miss, when the slave maid watched Honggu leave, her face seemed to be not good-looking. Otherwise, the slave will stuff some silver into Honggu, Miss Three, what do you think? ”
Mama Bai is also a smart person, reminding Bai Jinxian. But Bai Jinxian said angrily: "Don't give it to Aunt Hong, Aunt Hong is just the housekeeper next to her mother, don't give her money." If you give it once, you will give it every time you do it. So listen to me now and give nothing. That's what she should do, and how much money is given to her in our house. Listening to Bai Jinxian's words, Mama Bai naturally gave up.
Since Bai Jinxian said something she was not happy with, Mama Bai was not reluctant. Bai Jinxian is very concerned about money, and Mama Bai sighed helplessly. "By the way, Mama, you're okay now, aren't you? How many times did you copy the "Female Ring" I gave you? As soon as he mentioned this, he frightened Mama Bai, "The slave maid will go and copy it now, and please don't be angry with the third lady, the slave and maid will go immediately." ”
Bai Jinxian thought that she had to behave well in front of her master and compare Bai Jinxiu to Bai Jinxiu. Bai Jinxiu has been pressing herself. This time I'm better than Bai Jinxian, hum! Bai Jinxiu, just wait for me, I will definitely make you ugly. The corners of Bai Jinxian's mouth hooked up with an evil smile, in the afternoon, Mei led Su Zhiyi to the place where Bai Jinming and Bai Jinyue were in class, and the man and woman naturally had to separate.
Mei said with a smile: "Ming'er, Yue'er, hurry up and see Su Fuzi." "I've seen Su Fuzi!" Bai Jinming and Bai Jinyue naturally listened to Mei's words and asked Su Zhiyi for peace. Su Zhiyi said softly: "Hurry up and sit down." Mei Shi said seriously: "Su Fuzi, then I won't bother you to teach the children, then I'll leave first." "Madame, walk slowly." Su Zhiyi watched the back of Mei's departure, and Su Zhiyi began to teach Bai Jinming and Bai Jinyue a lesson, of course, the first class was not to teach them the knowledge in the books. Instead, he asked Bai Jinming and Bai Jinyue why they knew why they wanted to study?
