Chapter 33: Invitations in the Palace (2)

After playing with Mrs. Bai for a while, a slight fine sweat broke out on Mrs. Bai's forehead, and Bai Zhen'er stretched out her little hand and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief. After such a close look, she found that fine lines had appeared in the corners of Madame Bai's eyes.

The years do not leave people, and in an instant, the face is red and white, and the dry bones turn into sand.

Madame Bai waited with a smile for Bai Zhen'er to finish wiping her sweat, she lowered her head and took a sip of hot tea, then breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly spoke: "Sister Zhen'er, someone came to the Anyang Palace's palace in the afternoon, saying that the Queen Mother in the palace held a lantern festival in the palace, and the people who were invited this time were all Jiaojiao among the nobles, and the Lord of Clear Sky County has always liked the Queen Mother, so she mentioned you to the Queen Mother." ”

After hearing Madame Bai's words, she knew that something was coming, and according to this meaning, she must have been in the invitation list.

Bai Zhen'er smiled bitterly in her heart: It's really unintentional to insert willows, the Clear Sky County Lord will do this, it is nothing more than the factor of Concubine Liu's side. In front of outsiders, maybe she was so lucky to get this opportunity, but for her, it was really not good news.

She raised her head and looked at Madame Bai: "So on the day of the Lantern Festival, am I going to enter the palace?" ”

Madame Bai touched her head, and said in a kind voice: "Sister Zhen, don't be afraid, there is a clear sky lord here, and tomorrow the grandmother sent by the palace will come to teach you etiquette." ”

"Well, my daughter knows." She nodded, and the butterfly bun tied on top of her head moved.

Madame Bai seemed to have noticed the butterfly bun on her head at this moment, and said with a smile in her voice: "Sister Zhen'er's bun is very beautiful today." ”

Only then did Mama Liu remind aloud: "Madam, it's not too early." ”

"Well, it's not too early, send someone to invite the master back for dinner." Madame Bai then stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked to the hall.

Bai Zhen'er obediently followed behind and went to the hall to eat.

――

After a while, Bai Yuan stepped into the hall, followed by a stinky white mirror, it was obvious that the eldest young master of the Bai family was cleaned up by Bai Lao again today, and he was in a very unhappy mood.

Madame Bai looked at Bai Jing in surprise, and then ordered her subordinates to eat. However, she glanced at her brother several times, but at a critical time, she had to care about her eldest brother.

Maybe it was because he noticed that his little sister frequently sent over a little look, and Bai Jing sorted out his stinky expression a little. After seeing the dish served, he didn't wait for Master Bai to move the chopsticks, he took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and began to gobble up, which is the so-called turning grief and anger into appetite.

Bai Yuan threw a few eye knives at Bai Jing dissatisfied, but finally didn't say anything.

Mrs. Bai served Bai Yuan a dish as usual, and then slowly spoke: "By the way, master, our sister Zhen's needlework has improved a lot, and she has made a lot of things for us." ”

"It's not going to be a handkerchief again, is it?" Bai Jing paused for chopsticks, during this time the little sister was first fascinated by embroidery, and then kept making handkerchiefs. At first, he was pleasantly surprised, but then he gradually became numb, and it was estimated that in addition to him, his father and mother, almost all of the maids in the house with some identities were there.

How much does my little sister like to make handkerchiefs?

"Yes, that's good." Master Bai smiled kindly at his little daughter.

"Huh." She held the bowl in her small hands, smiled with a shy face, and the small beads on the butterfly bun on her head were shining through the candlelight, which looked particularly cute.

"Yo, where did this little fairy come from?" Bai Jing smiled and quipped, this little sister is getting more and more cute, she used to be like a little rabbit, but now she is as clever as a little fairy.

Madame Bai saw the interaction between the brother and sister, but she only laughed but did not stop it.

After the meal, they returned to their respective courtyards.

Mrs. Bai and Master Bai here also returned to the bedroom, she took out the insoles that Bai Zhen'er brought and the crooked one, and handed them over with a smile, "Na, this is what our daughter made for you alone." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Yuan's eyes, and then he took the heel of the insole and took a closer look. The insole was made to his measurements, and although the workmanship was not very good, and the stitches were quite dense, the insolescence was simply unsightly.

Although the things are not good, Bai Yuan is still quite happy in his heart, he put down the things in his hand, "Well, there is progress, it just so happens that I think this insole is a little old, and it will be just right to replace it tomorrow." ”

"Eh, they all say that my daughter is my mother's intimate little padded jacket, why didn't you see me make an insole or something." Madame Bai pretended to sigh and took the insoles and put them away.

"Madame is not right, there is still that crystal mirror in the room." Bai Yuan pointed to the mirror that Bai Zhen'er had brought back from the store last time.

Madame Bai said with a smile: "By the way, the grandmother sent by the palace will come over tomorrow, I think it is better to take this opportunity to stay with the grandmother for a while and teach our girls well, which will also be beneficial to say goodbye in the future." ”

"Well, it's up to Madame's arrangement."

As if she remembered something, Madam Bai said with a worried face: "Master, are you sure that this time the Queen Mother is just holding a lantern festival?" Instead of choosing concubines for the princes? ”

"Yes and no, Sister Zhen is still young, what are you talking about."

Well, too, Sister Zhen is still young. Mrs. Bai was relieved at this time, and then she saw her husband busy on the table, she walked over slowly, what is the master doing? "Didn't do anything." Bai Yuan quickly pulled a piece of paper to cover up, and covered his ears and stole the bell with some embarrassment.

Madame Bai glanced at it, and then didn't go any further, she secretly laughed in her heart, this man was obviously trying to get married, like a child.

She turned around uninterestedly, picked up the insoles made by her daughter, and then opened the wardrobe, she glanced coldly at the insoles and sachets with fine workmanship. No matter how good it is, what can't be on the table is not on the table after all, she put it in the insole, and closed the cabinet.

In the past, the underwear on the master's body was made by Aunt Lu, and later after the master only wore the underwear made by himself, Aunt Lu turned around and kept making some other things, spring, summer, autumn and winter never stopped. The old man used to use the clothes made by that woman, so she didn't deliberately stop it, anyway, she regarded it as an embroidery girl with good craftsmanship, and saved money.

Now, hehe, see who can have the last laugh, Madame Bai sneered in her heart. It seems that she really gave birth to a good daughter, and she actually helped herself by mistake.

――

The next day, the grandmother from the palace arrived at the White Mansion.

Mrs. Bai was wearing a red formal suit, sitting on the main seat with a smile on her face, looking at the grandmother, sure enough, she came out of the palace, and her demeanor and appearance were different from others.

Mrs. Bai motioned to the maid beside her and handed over a heavy sachet, "Our sister Zhen is in trouble, and Mama is bothered." ”

The grandmother got up and took the things, and gave a slight blessing to Mrs. Bai, "Madame is strict, the old slave came from the side concubine, so she will naturally do her best." ”

Mrs. Bai was satisfied, and then pulled out Bai Zhen'er, who was silent on the side, "Sister Zhen'er has seen Mama Qin soon." ”

"I'm tired of my mother." She pursed her lips and blessed the grandmother opposite.

Mama Qin leaned sideways and only accepted half of her salute.

When Madame Bai saw this, she became more and more satisfied.

Now that Mama has arrived, the class is about to begin, and Mama Qin follows her back to her yard.

"Come on, serve tea to Mama."

Mama Qin didn't drink tea, she looked at Bai Zhen'er and said, "Miss, from today onwards, the old slave will teach you some etiquette in the palace, because the time is a little tight, for the young lady to enter the palace, so if the old slave has any offense on the way, please forgive the young lady." ”

is really worthy of being a grandmother from the palace, and her speech is so level. She didn't really want to learn the so-called etiquette. Those things related to the palace, she is deliberately forgetting about them, wanting to completely erase them from her life and remove them from her bones.

Forget the cold and lonely dormitory, forget the high palace walls, and forget the court that is in danger at any time.

Like a moth to a fire, once it comes into contact with warmth, it can't let go.

She can no longer let go of the warmth in her hands, the warm mansion, the warm house, the warm people, and the warm family affection.

The lonely person is looking for light, the light is looking for happiness, and happiness is around, so how can she let go?

Mama had the breath of the palace on her body, which made her dislike, and she sighed slightly, "Mama will start." ”

If you can't hide from something, you won't hide it. It's like she didn't expect that after all these years, she would actually revisit the old place and go to that cage place again.

There is a cage in the dream, and there are people in the cage.

The people in the cage are waiting, waiting for a dream that will never come true.

In the old days, people returned, pavilions and pavilions, and it was impossible to remember the past.

(I don't know why, all the quotation marks in the article are reversed, and I'm also drunk, what's the situation?) )
