Chapter 34: Please Ann, Another Trick (Thank You)
Bai Zhen'er returned to the house, and it was not too early.
So I didn't go there again to say goodbye, but used some things in my yard, and I was done.
After eating, Bai Zhen'er habitually had to wait for a while before washing and sleeping, and passed the time with a book in her hand.
At this time, Xiangling brought tea, then knelt down and said, "Miss, the slave has something to say." ”
Bai Zhen'er put down the book in her hand, "What's the matter?" ”
"Miss Hui, after Aunt Xue fainted that day, she was sick for a few days. Today, the eldest lord sent someone to come to Zhenyuan. Seeing that the young lady went to the palace, she went back. ”
Bai Zhen'er knew about this matter when she came back. It's just that she glanced at Xiangling, and then said, "I know, you're doing a good job." Let's go down. ”
Xiangling's face was still pale and she got up and exited the house.
Bai Zhen'er has always disliked people in the house, so there are usually only two girls in the house, Xiao Tao and Xiao Zi. The rest, in general, stay outside.
"What do you say about Xiangling?" Bai Zhenrang put down the book. "I've looked at it over the years, and Xiangling has calmed down a lot."
Xiao Zi didn't speak, but Xiao Tao frowned and said: "I always feel that her mind has become deeper, and the people in the courtyard have almost had the attitude of wanting to leave, but Xiangling has always been silent and loyal." ”
"Xiao Zi, what do you think?" Bai Zhen'er looked at Xiao Zi.
"Miss Hui, the slave doesn't know."
Bai Zhen'er got up, "Rest, Xiangling has been promoted to a second-class girl." Those trivial things, just leave it to her to do. ”
"Yes, Miss." The two girls stepped forward to serve and wash and sleep.
――
Early the next morning, Bai Zhen'er got up and went to Heshoutang to greet the old lady.
Today's day is more coincidental, it happens to be the time when the people in the second room of the big house routinely ask for peace, and when Bai Zhen'er goes, her mother and the second wife Bai, as well as the eldest cousin and the cousin of the Qi family, are also there.
When the old lady saw Bai Zhen'er's appearance, she said with a smile: "Zhen'er is here, come to grandmother." ”
Bai Zhen'er didn't even salute, so she walked to the old lady's side. He said, "It's a little late today, and I ask my grandmother not to blame me." ”
"No blame, no blame. Zhen'er went to the palace yesterday, did she tell her grandmother any interesting things? ”
Bai Zhen'er also knew that the old lady would definitely ask about the palace. She said unhurriedly: "Yesterday, the princess of the palace invited some people to the palace to watch the play, and the palace was very lively. ”
"Isn't it, I heard that the princess is looking for relatives for the second young master in the house. Did Zhen'er go to the palace and see those ladies and ladies inside? "The second wife is still dressed in luxurious clothes, although she is not very popular, but she is really not low-key.
"That's what my wife said. So yesterday, the second sister passed, isn't it also the object of being looked at? Qi Yue covered her mouth and said with a smile.
Bai Zhen'er didn't even glance at Qi Yue, but looked at the old lady lightly and said, "Yesterday, Zhen'er went to the county lord's appointment. Naturally, it has nothing to do with the invitation of the princess, if it is Zhen'er Baba's past, isn't it a person who doesn't know the etiquette? ”
As soon as Bai Zhen'er said this, the old lady's smile faded.
Seeing this, Bai Min on the side said, "The second sister thinks too much, and the cousin is just guessing." ”
Bai Zhen'er looked at Bai Min and said, "Since the eldest sister said so, that's it." ”
The old lady interrupted the conversation with a loud voice. She glanced at Qi Yue, and then said, "Don't say this kind of thing in the future." Our Bai family is not this kind of person who is in a hurry. ”
As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Yue's face turned pale.
Bai Zhen'er smiled silently in her heart, isn't this Qi Yue just rushing over?
This is the past. The group also spoke for a while, and then dispersed.
Because of what the old lady said, not only Qi Yue's face was pale, but even the second wife Bai was also not good.
So the concubine went out and didn't say a word, so they separated.
Bai Zhen'er accompanied Mrs. Bai to go back. Mrs. Bai smiled and patted her hands and said, "You, you." I really don't know what to say about you. After all, it's your second aunt, so you can't be so rude in the future. ”
"Mother. I know. In the future, as long as others don't mess with me, I won't be obedient. Bai Zhen'er responded with a smile, as for how to do it, Mrs. Bai didn't care.
Bai Zhen'er followed Mrs. Bai back to the main courtyard, and then talked about the affairs of the palace.
"Mother, yesterday my mother gave me something to give. Zhen'er looks a little suitable for mothers. How about picking it up and giving it to your mother when you go back? ”
"Did the side concubine say anything?" For example, the marriage of the second young master or something.
Bai Zhen'er quickly understood what Mrs. Bai meant, and she said speechlessly: "Mother, how could the side concubine Niangniang tell me this." ”
"Yes." Mrs. Bai smiled, "Speaking of which, Zhen'er is not too young, and she will be in time next year." Mother is still thinking about choosing a good family for you. ”
Bai Zhen'er's hand paused, and she lowered her head, "What did mother say about this?" ”
"Zhen'er also knows how to be shy?" Mrs. Bai rarely saw her daughter like this, and she was in a good mood.
After being speechless for a while, Bai Zhen'er raised her head and said, "Mother, I'm fine at home anyway, why don't you leave the enlightenment of my younger brothers and sisters to me?" ”
"You're so good, I'm afraid you won't be idle." Mrs. Bai continued, "Well, it's good for you to be close to Brother Fan'er and Sister Chao'er. ”
Bai Zhen'er smiled, thinking of those two little balls, her heart warmed.
Thinking that Brother Fan wanted to see the gluttony, Bai Zhen'er wanted to stay and go back, so she had to tell Bai Jing and ask him to go out to the nameless medical hall to get the gluttony back. Now it's not as good as before, she can't just go out.
After staying at Mrs. Bai's place for a while, Bai Zhen'er went back to her yard.
Next year is the spring test, and Baijing has been making a lot of progress recently because of a comparison here. Bai Zhen'er thought about it, and then asked Xiao Tao next to her to bring some tonic soup over to express her sister's concern.
But the leisurely time, not long. In the afternoon, someone came to the door.
The person who came was not someone else, it was Aunt Xue.
"What kind of wind is this blowing my aunt today?" Looking at the aunt who was weak and willow supporting the wind, a trace of darkness flashed in Bai Zhen'er's eyes.
"Ahem." Aunt Xue coughed a few times, "Today Xue Zhi came to apologize to Miss, and I hope Miss will not worry about the previous matter with Xue Zhi." ”
"I don't know what my aunt said?"
Aunt Xue stood there, looking crumbling, and she said in a hoarse voice: "It's not right for Xue Zhi to offend Miss Xue Zhi before, and I hope that the second Miss will raise her noble hand and ask the eldest lady not to attack the people around Xue Zhi." ”
Bai Zhen'er shook her hand, what does this have to do with her mother?
Bai Zhen'er didn't understand the meaning of Aunt Xue's words for a while, but she quickly reacted.
Because just when Aunt Xue was about to admit her mistake, Master Bai, that is, her father, walked in. (To be continued.) )
