H2> Bai family was extremely shocked by the appearance of Bai Zhihong's family. But they all suppressed the surprise and doubts in their hearts under the hint of Bai Zhigao's eyes, and did not dare to question them.

And a grandmother took advantage of everyone's inattention and ran quickly to the backyard.

The White Mansion is the same as the mansions of all dignitaries and nobles, the front is the outer courtyard, and the men who usually go in and out of the White Mansion are all completed in the outer courtyard when the Bai family is in charge.

The back is the inner courtyard, which is the courtyard where each room rests at night, and the bedroom of the young masters, girls and young ladies.

Because of the heavy rules of the White Mansion, after an adult man comes out of his dormitory early in the morning to the director of the outer courtyard, he cannot return to the inner courtyard at will without special circumstances, even the old man Bai, who is the head of the family, also abides by such rules.

The male servants of the White Mansion, except for a few close servants of the old man and the young master, are not allowed to step into the backyard at will, even if they are the chief housekeeper, if they want to enter the inner courtyard to report something to the old lady, they must go through the communication before they can enter.

At this time, because it was almost time for the dinner to begin, the daughters-in-law, girls, and young ladies of the Bai family gathered in the old lady's courtyard, and were about to accompany the old lady to the special hall for the female relatives in the outer courtyard to sit down.

Bai Zhang, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bai family, was given by the old lady to be in charge of the things in the backyard, in such a large-scale gathering, even if she was empty in her heart because she was born a businessman, but on the surface, she still took out the style of a big boss, except for the old lady, she almost looked at the daughters-in-law and girls who clinged to their family with contempt for everyone.

Today, she is wearing a dark red cloisonné embroidered butterfly with a collar and a blouse, a navy blue tuanhua with half an arm, and a dark red pleated skirt underneath, but she hides a little fat on her body.

The festivity of the body is understandable, but on the bun with the falling pony, the hairpin is full of gold and silver hairpins, jade and pearl beads, how to look at it is the image of a nouveau riche full of copper smell.

Not to mention that she still wears a long bracelet on her chubby hand, as if she is afraid that others will not know how long her golden bracelet is, and she also shows a section of her arm.

She didn't care whether others looked at her with a lot of contempt or envy, and after boasting about the old lady, she admonished everyone self-righteously: "Today is a good day for the old lady's 60th birthday, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, be humble and courteous, don't be contemptuous, and don't lose your manners." The people who came to celebrate the old lady's birthday today are all Confucian scholars in the capital, and there are many disciples of the old lady who worship high positions, so you must strictly supervise yourself. Especially a few little daughters-in-law with young children, you must take good care of your children, and you must not let them play and break the rules. ”

"Yes!" Except for the old lady, the rest of the people naturally said in unison, and as for how many were sincerely convinced, only they themselves knew.

"There is no need to put too much pressure on them from the Zhigao family, even if the adults who are officials come to the master's birthday banquet with their families, they are also the disciples close to the master, and they all come to participate as a family banquet!" The old lady is less than sixty years old, and although her temples are already silver, her complexion is still relatively ruddy.

In addition, she is old, her body is slightly fat, Tuan Tuan's face is a little wrinkled, if you don't squeeze your eyes and laugh, you really can't see a few wrinkles, which shows that she is also an old woman who pays more attention to her appearance.

"What my mother said is, but I still need to be vigilant, my daughter-in-law is afraid that everyone will lose their sense of proportion and lose the face of the old lady and our Baifu!" Bai Zhang echoed.

The old lady didn't say a word, and she didn't debunk her careful thoughts that wanted to take advantage of her in Liwei, so she changed the topic and chatted with everyone.

Not long after, a grandmother came in to spread the word that the banquet in front of her was about to begin.

The ladies led by the old lady immediately moved lightly, and Bai Zhang's eyes were even more quick, and Bai Qingyu, who had received Bai Yang's signal, squeezed away from the old lady's side with her relatively stocky tonnage, and then glanced at Bai Yang's proudly, and let his daughter Bai Qingdie support the old lady with herself, and surrounded the old lady.

Just when Bai Zhang's feet accompanied the old lady and stepped out of the old lady's courtyard gate, he saw a acacia tree outside the courtyard gate, and his close grandmother was waving to her with an anxious face.

She was stunned, but only stunned, and continued to follow the beat of the old lady's walk as if she had not seen anything.

The grandmother saw that the eldest lady didn't pay attention to herself, and she was even more anxious, and she waved her hands even more powerfully.

Bai Yang's followed behind Bai Zhang's family, originally comforting Bai Qingyu, who was squeezed by his eldest aunt, and the corner of his eye swept away, and naturally he also saw the grandmother who looked very anxious.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she pretended not to care and said, "Oops! Sister-in-law, under the acacia tree, is it your close grandmother who married from your mother's house? She seems to be looking for you urgently! ”

As soon as she said this, some of them saw it and pretended not to see it, and some of the ladies who really didn't pay attention immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the grandmother, and even the old lady stopped, looking at the mama who was a little frightened because everyone's eyes fell on her, and said lightly: "Sure enough, Zhigao's family, you go and see what she is looking for you!" ”

Bai Zhang's teeth itched with anger, she had to help the old lady out with her daughter, just to establish her virtuous and filial image among the female dependents of the guests, and at the same time, because her daughter's future mother-in-law was also invited to the birthday banquet, she wanted to show her more about it, where did she know that her close grandmother was bad.

Of course, what she resents the most now is the Poplar family, she knows that she must have done it on purpose, otherwise, why didn't others say it, but she had to say it.

But at this time, since the old lady had already spoken, even if she was unwilling and wanted to make excuses, she could only let go of the old lady's hand with resentment, and said to ask the old lady to go first, and then went towards her grandmother.

And when she walked halfway and turned back, she saw Bai Qingyu taking her place, helping the old lady and walking away with her daughter.

Seeing the group gradually walking away, Bai Zhang's angrily complained: "Why do you have to be in a hurry to see me at this time?" ”

"Oh, my aunt, now is not the time to be angry like this, something is wrong!" This grandmother is from the Zhang family since she was a child, and she is married together, and she has some old qualifications and does not take the master's anger seriously.

Seeing that the nurse looked nervous, Bai Zhang was also nervous, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" Could it be that the money that was embezzled at this birthday banquet was discovered by the master? ”

"Oh, grandma, you speak quietly!" Mama looked at her own mother with hatred, and quickly glanced around and said, "It's all the property that Madame's mother's family married, what is there to be greedy or not, you can't say such things in the future!" ”

"Good! Okay, okay, I got it! If you say it's not a thing, then what's really bad! Bai Zhang interrupted the nurse's words impatiently, frowned and urged, and his eyes fell on the group of female dependents who were gradually moving away, thinking about rushing to the old lady's side as much as possible, "If you don't say it, I'll go!" ”

With such a great opportunity to express herself, she couldn't let it go down the drain.

"Oops! My aunt, now is not the time to chase after the old lady! Seeing that she was really about to turn around and leave, Mama hurriedly grabbed her, and didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said, "That family is also coming over today!" ”

"Which family is that family, Mama, you can make it clear in one breath, I don't have time to grind my teeth with you here!" Bai Zhang became even more impatient.

If it weren't for the nurse who took care of her from childhood to adulthood, she would have often helped her get ideas, and she would have let her go home to care for the elderly.

But today, seeing her chattering appearance, she still couldn't help muttering in her heart, it seems that the nurse is old, and her work has entered the previous neatness, she must pay attention to changing to a younger one to train her right-hand man.

How did Mama know that she was stupid and didn't think of the trick, but she was about to abandon her, so she quickly asked her to be quieter, and then lowered her voice and said, "It's the second master of the Bai family!" ”

"If they come, let them come......" The absent-minded Bai Zhang said casually, and suddenly asked in a trance, "What?" Who do you say is coming? That idiot's family? ”

This surprise was not trivial, and Bai Zhang almost bit his tongue.

"Isn't it, it's the second master's family here!" Although Mama also wants to talk about the fool's family, she is a slave after all, and she is a nurse married by the Zhang family, so she still has to respect it on the surface.

"Impossible, how could they come, and the old lady and the old lady didn't call them back, so why did they come back in a hurry? Isn't this looking for scolding and begging for a beating? Bai Zhang's mind didn't turn for a while, and he said in a daze.

Mama sighed secretly, and once again felt that it was right for the old lady of the Zhang family to let herself marry the Bai family with her eldest lady, otherwise, according to her stupid head, where could she hold the power of the Bai family, I am afraid that those dowries of their Zhang family would have been swallowed up by the people of the Bai family a long time ago.

Of course, she didn't dare to say this in front of her master, so she only reminded in a low voice: "Madam, you forgot it, you once went to the second master's house on the order of the old lady to ask for money for the birthday banquet!" ”

"Oh, is it because of this that they mistakenly think that the old lady has forgiven them, so they ......" Bai Zhang's fat brain was finally not very stupid, and he immediately heard the trick. R1152
