Chapter 32: Invitations in the Palace (1)
In the end, because of this incident, she did not stay in the main courtyard to eat, and returned to her own courtyard by herself.
After returning to the courtyard and changing into her regular clothes, she sat on the chair, and after taking a sip of tea, she avoided the people who were waiting around her, leaving only Ye Zi and Xiao Tao.
The room suddenly fell silent, and she looked at Ye Zi slowly and said, "I mentioned to my mother about your mother Mama Zhou just now. β
After hearing her words, Ye Zi, who was standing on the side, suddenly raised his head and looked at her with expectation in his eyes, while Xiao Tao stayed silent and didn't say a word.
"But my mother said that Mama Zhou made a big mistake and was not allowed to return home for the rest of her life, and I was reprimanded." Her tone was light, but it made Ye Zi panic.
"Miss, slave, slave maid just heard that my mother was having a bad time in Zhuangzi, so I just heard that." Ye Zi spoke in a panic, and hurriedly knelt in front of her, "Please also ask Miss to punish you." β
"Then do you know what mistakes your mother made back then to be demoted to Zhuangzi?"
"The slave and maid don't know very well, I only know that my mother seems to have embezzled a lot of silver taels in the account, but, but who in this house is clean? At the beginning, my mother also did things for my wife, but, but. Ye Zi's face was flushed, as if he wanted to find a suitable word, but he couldn't think of it.
When Bai Zhen'er saw Ye Zi's appearance, a trace of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and she took Ye Zi's words in a calm tone: "But? Do you think that your mother, Mama Zhou, carried the black pot for my mother and was abandoned by my mother? β
Such a big hat was buttoned down, and Ye Zi quickly said in a cold sweat: "The slave doesn't dare." β
The tranquility on Bai Zhen'er's plain face disappeared, and her face was cold, and she threw the teacup in front of the leaf heavily, and the water immediately splashed on the clothes on the ground.
Although she is small, she does not lose any momentum. She said angrily in her voice, "Don't dare? Don't you dare to instigate me to intercede for you? Leaf, you are so daring. β
"Little Miss, the slave knows that it is wrong, you punish the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid will not dare in the future." Ye Zi stepped forward in a panic and pulled her feet, and confessed his mistake to her with tears streaming down his face.
Bai Zhen'er was expressionless, letting Ye Zi hold her feet, and after a long time, only Ye Zi's choking sound was left in the room.
Bai Zhen'er glanced at the leaf that was kneeling in front of her and wept bitterly, and estimated that the time for this beating was enough, so she spoke: "Okay, you first use your own monthly silver to invite your mother to come over outside, and if someone from Zhuangzi asks, you will say that I ordered it." β
"Miss Xie's bodhisattva heart, the slave and maid will definitely serve Miss well in the future." Ye Zi knelt in front of Bai Zhen'er with red and swollen eyes, her expression was neither sad nor happy.
Kindhearted and merciful? She smiled dumbly, but she didn't know what the result of this so-called bodhisattva heart would be in the end, Mi Chengen, fighting into hatred, she didn't know this truth. It's a pity that she doesn't believe this.
"Well, stand down." It wasn't until Ye Zi lowered his head and walked out of the house that Bai Zhen'er got up and walked towards the inner room, it was not early, it was time to sleep.
Xiao Tao followed her until she was lying on the bed, and Xiao Tao exited the inner room without saying anything.
She was a little surprised by Xiao Tao's attitude. When her mother sent these people to her yard, she knew the background of these people, and Ye Zi was able to come to her, in addition to her own cleverness, there was also an element of her deliberate doing.
There are hidden secrets in the White Mansion, as well as those ill intentions who come from the shadows, she is not a fool, and she will never sit still.
The ancestral hall in the backyard of the house, as well as the seemingly unknown aunt in the house, most of the people in the house were bought from the capital later, and there were almost no servant women in the hometown before.
She guessed that Mama Zhou might be, and even if she wasn't, she must know something, and she needed to be sure of something. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and not being defeated in a hundred battles, maybe this has nothing to do with conspiracy, but it is her always style.
There is no dream all night, and the night is bright.

It is still a daily habit, and after the embroidery is completed, I soak in the study to read the books I borrowed from the bookstore outside.
Anecdotes, geographical features, some books just record some things, and some books tell the stories of many tourists.
In the story, the grassland is vast, the white sheep are flocked, and the wind blows the wolves; The desert remnant sun is like blood, the wind and sand are all over the sky, and the camel bells are bursting.
From the yellowed pages, it seems that you can feel the breeze of the vast grassland, as well as the yellow sand of the desert. She didn't expect that there were so many beautiful places around Daming, those small landmarks on the map, those beautiful scenery that she had never seen.
I really want to go and see the outside world.
Maybe it was because I was trapped all my life in my previous life, and in this life, I am more and more eager to see the outside world, see Yangzhou thin horses, and Luoyang peonies.
Close the book, close your eyes, and let go of your empty thoughts with the people in the storyγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"Miss." Ye Zi walked into the study and saw her own young lady with her eyes closed, and she immediately closed her mouth.
Bai Zhen'er naturally heard Ye Zi's voice, but in the end, she opened her eyes and sat up from the couch, "What's the matter?" β
Ye Zi stepped forward to refill her with a cup of hot tea, and then spoke: "Sister Cai'er next to Madame came over just now, saying that she asked Mademoiselle to go there for dinner at night." β
"Did Mother say anything?" She didn't expect the big house to post a second time so soon.
"That's not true, I heard Sister Cai'er say that it was the big house that sent a post over."
Is that so? Anyway, you can't hide from it, so it's good to go for a while.
"Let's go back first." She stood up and walked towards the outside of the study, which was not too early anyway.

I returned to the small courtyard and changed my clothes.
She sat in front of the mirror at the moment, letting Ye Zi practice her newly invented hairstyle in her hair, and she gladly allowed the little maid's deliberate flattery. It's not a thing to always have a bag and a bun, Mrs. Bai has said a few times, she is not young now, and she can't always wear a childish hairstyle.
When I went to see Mrs. Bai today, if I still wore a casual hairstyle, I would definitely be beaten by Mrs. Bai. Although Master Bai is quite accustomed to himself, he has no way to interfere in this kind of upbringing of his daughter.
"Okay, Miss, take a look." Ye Zi looked at the cute little lady in the mirror with excitement in her eyes, her cute and fair little face and this butterfly hairstyle were just like flower fairies.
"Yes, that's pretty good." Ye Zi's hands are quite skillful, combing his hair into small locks of hair and braiding them together, and then cleverly tying those small braids on his head, like two butterflies.
"Would you like to bring some embroidery?" Xiao Tao stood aside and watched Ye Zi fix Miss's hair before she spoke.
"Pick a few and bring them over, as well as the insoles I made for my father." She walked over to the basket, picked through it, and finally took four pairs of men's insoles.
"The little lady really has a heart, the master will definitely be happy when he sees it." Ye Zi walked side by side with Xiao Tao, and Ye Zi had always been the one who adjusted the atmosphere.
"Well, my brother knows about it, and he will definitely make trouble for me to do it for him." Bai Zhen'er could almost imagine her eldest brother's expression.
After a few moments, we came to the main courtyard.
"Sister Zhen is here, Sister Zhen looks very beautiful today." The grandmother next to Mrs. Bai was the first to see Bai Zhen'er coming over, and she smiled and opened the curtain to let the little lady pass.
"It's hard work, how can you bother your mother to do this." She spoke, smiling sweetly and waiting for Mama to go with her.
"It's not hard, it's a blessing for the old slave to be able to do things for the little lady." The folds on Mama's face when she smiled gave people a warm feeling.
When Madame Bai, who was in the inner room, heard their words, she put down the things in her hand, and asked the two who came in with a cheerful voice: "Mama, don't spoil her." β
"Won't my mother spoil me?" She looked at the White Lady in front of her with a smug smile.
Madame Bai stretched out her finger and put a heavy finger on her forehead, "You, you can give me a poor mouth." β
She continued to cling to Madame Bai's side, "It's not my mother's favor." β
Since spending so many months with the people in Baifu, she has gradually learned how to be a little girl and how to get along with her parents. So now her relationship with Madame Bai is much better than before, and she can feel the kindness coming from Madame Bai.
Wholeheartedly enjoying the Bai family's favor for her, except for occasionally thinking of the original owner who was replaced, there will be guilt in her heart.
Mrs. Bai wrapped around the small body next to her, and saw what the girl next to her daughter was holding in her hand, and she said, "Sister Zhen, what did you bring here?" β
"Mother actually saw it." She took the insoles handed over by Xiao Tao, and there was an unfinished loop, which was placed on the table one by one, "These are all made for my father, and I didn't get it right, I originally wanted to make a pendant for my father." β
Madame Bai glanced at the insole, well, yes, although it was a bit miserable. However, the needlework is much better than the handkerchief when she made it, and her daughter is making rapid progress.
Madame Bai deliberately picked up the insoles and looked at them, then sighed and said, "Mama, it seems that I also have a pair of insoles." β
"Mother actually made fun of me, and my mother would send these things."
(Friend's books, worth watching) Bai Zhen'er lay on the small table with a shy face and ignored people. [bookid=3341378,bookname="Qin Shi Mingyue: Meeting Time Rain"]
