Chapter Twenty-Four: Going Home, First Confrontation (Thank You)
Bai Zhen'er let the sister-in-law lead her through the crooked corridor, past a lot of rockery ponds, and finally arrived at an exquisite hall.
The servants outside the hall were lined up, standing outside in an orderly manner, and it was very extraordinary at first glance.
That's everyone's momentum. Bai Zhen'er thought so as she walked.
"Old lady, the people have arrived." Young Lady Bai pulled Bai Zhen'er and walked inside.
Bai Zhen'er entered the door and saw the old lady sitting in the first place, who was in good spirits. Mrs. Bai sat with a beautiful woman, and looking at the woman's luxurious dress, she knew that it was Mrs. Bai, the wife of the second uncle.
The moment she entered the house, the hand holding her suddenly let go.
Facing everyone's eyes, Bai Zhen'er didn't say anything, immediately stepped forward, knelt in the center of the hall with a plop, and kowtowed to the old lady above.
Even if she was such a calm person as the old lady, she was also taken aback by the little girl's behavior when she first came, and she hurriedly said, "You kid, why are you doing this?" ”
Bai Zhen'er lowered her head, and said with a little choked voice: "The granddaughter is not filial, and the grandmother failed to serve by her side when she returned home, this is one of them." The granddaughter kowtowed to the old lady here. ”
Bai Zhen'er raised her head to Mrs. Bai, kowtowed again, and said, "I have been away from home for many years and have not been able to serve by my mother's side, this is the second. ”
"You kid. What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and help the second lady up. The old lady didn't know what to say, and at this time, the second daughter-in-law, who had always been able to speak well, was stunned in place, not knowing what to do.
Mrs. Bai couldn't help but step forward at this time, hugged Bai Zhen'er, and said in a choked voice: "My son, you are finally back." ”
Bai Zhen'er had tears in her eyes, "It's my daughter who is not filial, my daughter is back, and she will never leave in the future, even if she dies." ”
Mrs. Bai felt sour. With tears in his eyes, he said, "My son, if only you are cured." Anything is worth it. She took the opportunity to move out the reason why Bai Zhen'er went out, so that some people would want to use this matter as a raft.
The old lady also spoke on the side: "Yes, Zhen girl." You're here to heal, who can blame you. ”
Bai Zhen'er touched her tears and smiled stupidly at the old lady above, "It's still my grandmother who loves me, Zhen'er will come to see my grandmother more in the future." Grandmother, don't dislike me. ”
"Silly boy, it's too late for grandmother to hurt you." The old lady beckoned to Bai Zhen'er, "Come to Grandmother quickly, let Grandmother take a good look." ”
No matter how reluctant Mrs. Bai was at this time, she could only let go at this time. Bai Zhen'er obediently walked towards the old lady and glanced at the old man with charitable eyebrows.
The old lady reached out and took Bai Zhen'er's hand. Then he took off a bracelet from his wrist, "Grandmother may not have seen you for a long time, but you are really a sensible child." ”
The jade bracelet still has temperature, and the color is not ordinary, just a glance. Bai Zhen'er lowered her red eyes and said subtly: "Zhen'er is not sensible, Zhen'er makes her family and mother worried." ”
The old lady patted her hand and said, "It's good to come back, it's not as good outside as at home." ”
"Mother, at first glance, Sister Zhen is a child who knows etiquette, and after going out for so long, she knows more etiquette than Minmin." The second wife, who was beside Mrs. Bai, finally came to her senses, but it was too late. Everything went in her unpredictable direction.
That's not right. She had obviously given the old lady eye medicine in advance, saying that this child was wandering around the rivers and lakes, how could she look like a lady. I still want to make that kid ugly today, so that the old lady is completely disgusted with the big house.
Who knows the big house that kid. As soon as he entered the door, he gave everyone a big gift. It was really unexpected.
Bai Zhen'er turned her head, looked at the beautiful woman on the side and said, "This should be the second aunt." I forgot to salute my second aunt when I came in just now. With that, she bowed.
The beautiful woman covered her mouth and said, "Look at this child, the second aunt can understand your feelings before returning home." There are no more rules outside than at home, and it is common for you to be uncomfortable for a while. ”
When Mrs. Bai heard the concubine's slander of her daughter, the handkerchief in her hand was crumpled. She knew that this concubine would not let this matter go. It's not so easy to humiliate Dafang with this matter.
Bai Zhen'er smiled indifferently, and then said with some grievances on her face: "The second aunt just said that Zhen'er is polite." ”
The second wife was choked instantly, she was obviously a joke just now, who really praised you? But seeing the aggrieved appearance of the person opposite, she, an elder, can't really look ugly, after all, she has just arrived home.
Anyway, the coming day is long. Second Mrs. Bai smiled stiffly and said, "You kid, the second aunt is also worried about you." After all, the rules are always followed, and they will be forgotten after a long time. ”
Bai Zhen'er blinked, and continued to ask stupidly: "Then the eldest sister etiquette that the second aunt just said is very good, so can I learn etiquette with the eldest sister in the future?" She glanced at the speechless second aunt, then turned her head to look at the old lady.
The old lady smiled and said, "Yes." You're coming back this time, and it's almost time for you to come back next year. There are some rules that you have to learn well. ”
"Grandmother, Zhen'er knows. I used to study with the grandmother in the palace for a while, and Zhen'er will remember it quickly. ”
After mentioning the palace, the old lady's face became even more kind, she looked at Bai Zhen'er and said, "Even so, don't be too proud." ”
When Bai Zhen'er heard this, she responded obediently, "It's grandmother." What Grandmother said was right, Zhen'er would be obedient. ”
"You kid." Mrs. narration said a word to her coquettish daughter, but although she said it, there was no tone of blame in her words.
Mrs. Bai on the side looked at the girl standing beside the old lady with some coldness in her eyes. She didn't expect that this little girl was really a difficult master to deal with.
But so what, the person who said he was going to send this girl away was also an old lady. I don't know what to think of, Mrs. Bai Er took the tea and hooked the corners of her mouth alone.
Finally, after talking for a while, the old lady ordered Bai Zhen'er to go back to rest. Bai Zhen'er had to vacate the hall at this time.
After Mrs. Bai came out, she pulled Bai Zhen'er forward, and said as she walked: "Zhen'er will follow her mother, and your mother will take you to see your yard." Your eldest brother made your yard exactly like where you used to live. I'm afraid you'll feel strange when you come back. (To be continued.) )
