Chapter 17: Return to the White House
After the carriage entered the city, the sound of the market was everywhere, the sound of the carriage in the official road, and the people in the market on the side shouting and buying and selling.
Bai Zhen'er gently lifted the corner of the curtain, carefully observing the section of the road outside, after so many years, the general layout of the capital has not changed.
The carriage came from the West Gate, which had always been a place for the poor, so it was everywhere that working people in cloth clothes came and went with things in their hands, mischievous children frolicking around, and women in turbans shouting for their children or men to go home for dinner.
Everywhere is a reassuring picture, she finally put down the curtain and closed her eyes, these ordinary happiness she once envied, don't worry about those calculations that harbor evil intentions, just need to do a good job every day, cook and sew clothes to raise children.
Now, she can probably live such a life, her mother's family is not weak, and her eldest brother is a foil, according to Mrs. Bai's temperament, she will definitely not be wronged in the future.
Thinking about it, with the sound of the regular wheels turning, the restless heart gradually began to become rhythmic.
Bai Jing, who was opening the way outside, stared at the curtain that was lowered by Bai Zhen'er for a while, and the envious look in her eyes just now flashed in her mind. After thinking for a while, Bai Jing faintly planned something in his heart.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Bai Fu.
With Xiao Tao's support, he stood in front of the gate of the Bai family again, looking at the plaque on the gate.
The familiar door plaque is as if it has been a long time since the next day.
"Really."
Madame Bai's voice interrupted her thoughts, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Madame Bai hurrying towards her, her eyes grooming with tears.
"Mother." She looked at the woman in front of her with a faint smile and spoke.
Seeing Bai Zhen'er take the initiative to speak, Mrs. Bai cried with joy, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said in a choked voice: "Zhen'er, I've hurt you." ”
"I said mother, my sister is back, why are you still standing at the door?" Bai Jing really can't stand it.
"Okay, let's go in first." Only then did Madame Bai take Bai Zhen'er's hand and walk inside, and then instructed her subordinates to prepare some food.
When Madame Bai unexpectedly pulled her hand, Bai Zhen'er stiffened a little, and then did nothing and let Madame Bai pull her forward.
Now that you have decided to start over, you have to get used to it, get used to this home.
Besides, Madame Bai's hands were warm and clean.
After losing her mind for a moment, Bai Zhen'er came back to her senses and realized that she had returned to her small courtyard, and this Mrs. Bai actually took herself back to the small courtyard directly.
"You go and put the things away first, this time you follow the young lady out to have merit, Mrs. Ben will ask Zhen'er later, and then talk about the meritorious deeds." When Mrs. Bai said these words of grace and power, she kept holding Bai Zhen'er's hand, and never let go.
Bai Zhen'er's indifferent eyes swept over the people who followed her this time, and she naturally knew that Mrs. Bai was giving herself authority.
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Bai asked those people to retreat, looked at Bai Zhen'er in front of her and said: "Zhen'er in the future, if these subordinates secretly make you stumble, if you can't do it, you will sue your mother, and your mother will rectify these subordinates for you."
"Yes." Bai Zhen'er nodded vigorously, and her serious little face looked particularly cute.
Mrs. Bai looked at her heart and was about to melt, this is her little daughter, I don't know if she is good or bad for being so precocious? Mrs. Bai naturally knew that her daughter's temperament had changed greatly after the serious illness, and her immature little face had a pair of penetrating eyes.
If it weren't for the Scarlet Bamboo Daoist, she would almost have thought that something dirty had fallen on La Liga's daughter's body, and she didn't know what her daughter's lost soul had experienced in a certain place, and finally became like this, she felt distressed when she thought about it.
"Okay, Sister Zhen, you go wash up first, and your father should come back in a while."
"Yes."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Madame Bai slowly moved away.
After Mrs. Bai left, Bai Zhen'er began to carefully observe the room in this room, and it was not difficult to see that this room was where a little girl once lived.
In the past, Bai Zhen'er liked those gadgets very much, especially the little rabbit, and there were a lot of things about the rabbit in this room.
"Miss, if you don't like it, the slave will turn around and ask someone to clean up these things." Little Peach knows that the master doesn't like this little rabbit very much.
"No, keep it." These things belong to the deity, and she already owes a lot of money to occupy the magpie's nest, besides, she doesn't have any preferences for herself, and it's not bad to have one more now.
After thinking of this, Bai Zhen'er seemed to feel as if she still had something to do, she turned around and walked to the inner room, "Let's change clothes first." ”
"Yes, miss." Xiao Tao followed into the inner room.
After washing and changing clothes, Bai Zhen'er came out of the inner room, holding the tea handed by the little maid, "I mentioned to you the matter of selecting people last time, you can start handling it." ”
"Yes, miss, the slave will do it."
"Well, there is also something about my eldest brother, haven't you finished speaking, he shouldn't have had a good relationship with me before, as you said." Although she had hardly paid much attention to the people in this white mansion before, she had met this white mirror a few times before.
"Miss actually guessed that the relationship between you and the eldest young master was not very good before." Xiao Tao replied a little curtly on the surface, thinking in her heart that this young lady had not only had a bad relationship with the eldest young master before, but it was simply intolerable.
"Huh? That's weird. "Since the relationship was not good before, why is it so good to her now, and there is even a little flattery.
"This, the slave and maid don't know very clearly, I only know that after you fell into the water, the eldest young master has always been very concerned about your condition, and I think the eldest young master still cares about you, but he usually uses the wrong method."
Xiao Tao's words were full of advice, and she also looked at Bai Zhen'er with worry.
She glanced at Peach, "I'm just asking." ”
Xiao Tao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and replied with a smile: "Miss, don't you know, there were some people who chewed their tongues in the yard before, but they asked the eldest young master to repair it." ”
"Yes." Bai Zhen'er lowered her head and looked at the teacup, listening to Xiao Tao's words, something unknown flashed in her eyes.
At night, the White House is brightly lit.
Even the west courtyard heard the movement outside, and the quiet courtyard was particularly eye-catching.
"Yingluo, are you going to see what's going on outside?" In the end, because of this noise, Aunt Lu finally put down the chopsticks in her hand.
After a while, Yingluo came back with indignation on her face, "Auntie, this lady is too much, the lord took the wind and washed the dust for the eldest lady, and also invited the scarlet bamboo real person, the whole courtyard knows, but it is our yard." ”
"Yingluo must not be rude." Aunt Lu scolded her, then she frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "It's a good thing for this eldest lady to come back, although we can't go, but it is also appropriate to give a gift, you go and wrap my jade hairpin and give it to the eldest lady." ”
"Auntie is really kind, people are not rare, why do you rush to the door to dislike people." Although Yingluo complained like this, her subordinates still kept preparing gifts.
"Remember to give it to the eldest lady privately." Mrs. Lu added at the end.
Seeing her maid complaining, Mrs. Lu sighed helplessly, and said with a tolerant smile in her eyes: "This girl is really spoiled." “
"Madame is really a bodhisattva, why don't you send it over when you grow up, so that the master can know how Madame neglects you." The grandmother on the side also said unevenly.
"No, Madame is usually not thin on us, there is no need to embarrass Madame." After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, her slender jade hand picked up the chopsticks again.
It's dark outside.
After receiving the notice from Mrs. Bai, Bai Zhen'er set off from the courtyard towards the main courtyard, followed by a servant woman.
When Bai Zhen'er arrived, everyone in the Bai family was there, including Bai Yuan, the head of the Bai family.
