Chapter 184: Pickling
Eat well, Bai Qingshuang took the bellflower who had taken a nap and they went over again, Bai Zhimin and Yao Jiabao had already come.
In the mourning hall, in addition to Bai Yang, who was the biological mother, who cried heartbroken, Bai Zhimin was also very sad, and kept saying that he liked this niece the most.
As for Yao Jiabao, his expression was a little sluggish, and when he saw Bai Qingshuang coming, his eyelids trembled, and he didn't stay in the mourning hall for a long time, and then went out.
Bai Qingshuang raised her eyebrows, glanced at the people in the mourning hall first, and saw that they all looked sad, and didn't notice Yao Jiabao's departure, so she whispered a few words to the bellflower.
The bellflower took the order, went out to find Wanshou, who was completely called by the Bai family, and whispered a few words in his ear, and then returned to Bai Qingshuang's side to serve.
It was almost noon, and the relatives who came to mourn came one after another.
Because Bai Qingyu was just a girl who had not left the cabinet, she only went to the nearest relative's house to report the funeral, and none of the friends who had dealings with the Bai family and Bai Zhifei's officialdom colleagues were notified.
And because she drowned and died violently, for the rules of the dynasty, the days of stopping at home are only three days, that is, the coffin must be released after three days.
And the reason why Bai Qingshuang stayed in the mourning hall was to look at Bai Yao's family, because she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted and keep crying and hurting herself.
When more and more relatives came, Bai Huang's family finally appeared, looking very haggard without dressing, and his face was even more pale like a ghost.
The elders and the elders don't have to bow down to the deceased, but as soon as she came, she knelt down in front of Bai Qingyu's coffin, crying so much that she wanted to break her liver and intestines, and she was a little sadder than Bai Yang's mother-in-law, but it provoked the weak-hearted women.
Bai Qingshuang didn't want to see her and Bai Zhimin put on a show, and when she saw that Bai Yao began to wipe her eyes, she immediately went over and said softly: "Mother, you are not in good health, you are crying and hurting yourself!" ”
Then he helped her to rest in the flower hall on the side, and let her chat with a few relatives and women.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Wanshou looking outside, so he left Camellia to take care of Bai Yao, and he went out with Kikyo.
"Oh, girl, do you know what the minions saw?" Following Bai Qingshuang to the back of a rockery in the courtyard, Wanshou shouted exaggeratedly.
Bai Qingshuang smiled and said: "Zuo is just some pickling things, it's not a big deal, but did they say anything?" ”
Kikyo said angrily: "They are really impatient, the third lady is still cold, they are actually ......"
Seeing that the master was so calm, Wan Shou immediately looked like an adult, and said in a low voice: "After they made love, the young master asked how the third lady died. The eldest young grandmother was unhappy at first accusing him of being close to her, not to mention, and also having an affair with the third lady, which made her very unhappy. The young master coaxed her a few words, and said that it was the third lady who took the initiative to seduce him, and the eldest young grandmother was happier. The young master asked about the drowning of the third young lady again, and the eldest young grandmother said that she didn't know too much how the third young lady died. It's just that when she was overnight, she found that there was suddenly a note at the head of the bed, asking her to find a way to lead the girl and the eldest young master to the wishing fountain on the night of the Lantern Festival. She said that the third miss was lost last night, but when she was found by the wishing pool, she was really frightened, and felt that the third miss probably felt that her reputation was ruined by you and the eldest young master, and wanted to drag you to die together, but you were not with her, and she was depressed, so she chose to commit suicide! ”
"Humph! With the selfish and arrogant character of the third young lady, how could she commit suicide, and it is true that she wants to deal with the girl and the eldest young master! Kikyo immediately said in disbelief.
Wan Shou said: "The slave also doesn't believe it, when the young grandmother had to follow us last night, the third lady was very unhappy!" ”
"Did Yao Jiabao believe it?" Bai Qingshuang asked, and at the same time deeply admired the depth of Bai Huang's scheming.
"The slave looked at the young master and should have believed it seven or eight points! It's just a pity, the third lady is too willful, he is obviously ready to take her as a concubine! But he lost his life without luck! Wan Shou replied.
"Hmph, his appetite is not small, and he steals with his cousin. Love, and have an affair with my cousin and want to be accepted as a concubine, and then marry the daughter of a high-ranking official as a wife, hehe, I really want to be beautiful! Bai Qingshuang sneered twice, "But I don't know if someone will let him get his way!" ”
"Does the girl mean the eldest and youngest grandmothers, or the eldest aunts?" Kikyo immediately asked smartly.
"I guess the two of them joined forces!" Bai Qingshuang guessed.
Wan Shou immediately opened his mouth in surprise and said, "Could it be that the eldest aunt and wife know that the child in the belly of the eldest young grandmother is the cousin of the young master, so she joined forces with her except for the third young lady?" ”
"Did Bai Huang say that the child in her womb was Yao Jiabao's?" Bai Qingshuang's eyebrows jumped, it's a pity that this dynasty doesn't have a voice recorder, otherwise it's a big piece of physical evidence!
"Hmmm! The slave listened to the grandmother herself! Wan Shou nodded immediately, he remembered that when he heard this, he almost exclaimed, alarming the pair of wild mandarin ducks.
Bai Zhimin wouldn't know about Yao Jiabao and Bai Huang's family, otherwise she would definitely not be able to tolerate someone who might break off her son's good marriage. Among them, there may be other hidden secrets! Bai Qingshuang pondered that there was only this one possibility, so she said to Wanshou, "Wanshou, you are more clever, after the matter of the Bai family is over, I will ask Aunt Feng to buy another janitor to come in, and in the future, you will help me inquire and pay attention to the affairs of Bai Zhimin and Bai Huang!" ”
"Yes! As long as the girl explains, the slave must do it properly for the girl! Being valued by Bai Qingshuang, Wanshou was very happy.
Kikyo smiled helplessly on the side: "You, you can only help the girl run errands, Brother Shizhu asked you to learn to read and write with him, but you always refuse to learn by heart!" ”
was debunked by the bellflower, Wan Shou scratched his scalp and said: "I'm not as diligent and smart as Shizhu, so I can only help the girl and the eldest young master with my heart to repay the girl's kindness!" ”
"You're all good, I remember it in my heart! It's just that what you do is dangerous, you have to cheer up yourself, don't let yourself get into trouble, let us all worry! Bai Qingshuang said attentively.
After all, they are still children, that is, poor people were born to understand things early, and they knew the world was cold, but after all, they were still too young, in her previous life, these were just primary school students who had to be picked up and dropped off by their parents and grandparents when they went to and from school.
"Girl, the slave knows that even if the slave is not for himself, he will be careful for the girl's masters!" Wanshou's mouth is sweeter and he can speak, so it's good for him to practice outside.
"Hmmm! You just have to remember that this is the most important thing, and as for the things I asked you to inquire about, it doesn't matter if you don't do it well! Okay, you go out and help first, don't let people see the flaws! Afraid that she would be suspected if she came out for too long, Bai Qingshuang asked Wanshou to leave first from the other side, and she and Kikyo also went out of the rockery afterwards.
Before she reached the door of the mourning hall, she saw Shi Zhu coming to her and said, "Xu Gongzi is here!" ”
"Oh!" Bai Qingshuang slapped her head, and almost forgot that she had made an appointment with Xu Jingxuan to meet today, and immediately asked Kikyo to say hello to Bai Yao, and she went home with Shi Zhu first.
In the hall, Xu Jingxuan was pacing back and forth restlessly, and when she saw her, she asked, "What's going on next door to you?" ”
"It's the third sister of the main family who drowned last night and died violently, and she is doing a funeral!" Bai Qingshuang said casually.
"The third girl of the Bai family, Bai Qingyu?" Xu Jingxuan raised his eyebrows.
"You know her?" Bai Qingshuang was taken aback.
Then I thought of the situation of the Bai Mansion last year, so it is reasonable for a royal person to understand the personnel, family background and situation of the Bai family who "suppressed" the dragon vein.
"I don't know!" Xu Jingxuan replied, but still asked curiously, "How did she drown?" ”
Bai Qingshuang glanced at her angrily and said, "I don't know her, what are you doing so curious?" ”
"Just ask!" Xu Jingxuan touched the tip of his nose and didn't ask any more, but after a certain person guarding the eaves saw the master's hint, he had already jumped from the roof of the Bai family to the roof of the Bai Mansion.
Of course, Bai Qingshuang didn't know, only thinking about the business of his appointment with Xu Jingxuan and said: "I can't talk nonsense with you today, let's tell you about the approximate method of making colored glass first, I'll go over there later!" ”
"Well, you say, I remember!" Xu Jingxuan was a little depressed, but he deliberately pushed to have lunch with his father, wanted to invite her to dinner, and then stayed for a long time, but he didn't expect to run into someone from Baifu for a funeral so unlucky.
Bai Qingshuang told him some of the key points and knowledge points about the coloring of the glass that he still remembered, and after seeing that he had written them down, he wanted to send him away.
Who knew that he suddenly thought of something and asked, "What's the matter with your shop, why does it look like it has been burned by fire?" ”
"It's like, it's just burned!" Bai Qingshuang directly rolled her eyes at him.
Such obvious scorch marks can be seen by anyone with long eyes.
"Why did you burn down the shop?" Xu Jingxuan touched his nose stupidly, because he was in a hurry to see her, so when he felt that he was about to pass by Baihuapu, he suddenly opened the curtain of the car and glanced at it casually.
"Alas, it's hard to say, I'll tell you more about it later! I really can't keep you for too long, so please go back first! "Bai Qingshuang didn't think about using Xu Jingxuan's power to fight Bai Zhimin, but after all, he was afraid that the Yao family still had an old lady Yao who was worthy of his respect, and if this stinky boy didn't have a serious start, he was afraid that he would ruin the Yao family.
She still relied on her own skills and slowly tossed Bai Zhimin and Yao Jiabao.
When Xu Jingxuan saw her like this, he knew that there must be something hidden in it, but he didn't ask anymore, after all, he had a way to understand the whole story. R1152
