Chapter 5 Turning the Clouds and Rain

Bai Shao looked at her young lady's sophisticated expression that did not match her age, as well as the cold remarks in her mouth, and suddenly had an illusion, as if the person in front of her was not Bai Fusu, who was only ten years old, but faintly had the posture of the old ancestor in the mansion. She couldn't help but shiver and muttered, "Isn't that a bit ruthless?" ”

Bai Fusu sneered: "Ruthless? The teeth that eat people without spitting out bones, and the knife that kills people without seeing blood, that is called ruthless. Bai Shao, you still have too little experience. ”

She groaned and said, "Uncle, this time, I'm afraid that I helped the woman." I'm afraid I'm going to have to do a lot of work to break this game. ”

Lord Bai, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, seems to be in a bad mood these days, and when he is on duty, he wrinkles his brows and reprimands his subordinates, and once even the right to wait for the eldest grandson of the Lang also touched a nail, and was criticized by Lord Bai for a count of ominous, and rejected the recount.

The eldest grandson is also a character who hugs and drinks before, but this time he has no face, and his old face was flushed red at that time, and he couldn't take leave the next day.

Bai Yunqi himself also felt out of shape, and he had the intention to ease the relationship, but he couldn't let go, so he asked his subordinate Wailang Li, Lord Li, to visit on his behalf.

Li Fei, a member of the Ministry of Labor, is young and promising, is a famous champion in Donghua, and now he once said that "literary talent is the first", and he was unparalleled for a while, and became the object of the spring of countless girls in Chang'an City.

Master Li Fei is two years old, with a handsome face and extremely dashing demeanor, and has not yet married a wife.

But why is no one proposing? Among them, there is a great enemy: it is said that Princess Guerlain, the royal sister of the current saint, intends to recruit Master Li Fei as a concubine. This statement was even acquiesced in by the eldest sister of the Holy Lord, the eldest princess, and spread throughout the noble lady's circle, breaking the heart of the noble lady of Chang'an.

Master Li Fei, a member of the staff, was entrusted by his boss, so that Xiu Mu brought the new high-quality pastries from Fuxing Building on this day, and came to visit the house of the eldest grandson of the right attendant.

The eldest grandson was playing chess with his wife in the backyard to relieve his boredom, and when he heard the report, he immediately snorted. Mrs. Liu is the granddaughter of the former Yue Guogong, although the family is an old minister, she can be regarded as a nobleman. She looked at her face and said, "You're an old man." Bai Yunqi did too much, and Li Langjun didn't offend you, but what are you doing? ”

The eldest grandson said angrily: "I want the old man to start on his own, and it took forty years of diligence to achieve his current status." Li Fei is an oil-headed boy, but an article has the blue eyes of the saint and he looks more handsome, so he became a layman, isn't it extremely unfair? ”

Mrs. persuaded: "This is the law of everyone's fate, and it is also his blessing Li Fei, and he can't envy it." Speaking of you, master, now that you have become the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry, how many people are red-eyed! Didn't the saint also praise the old man for being 'diligent'? People should cherish their blessings. ”

After listening to his wife's persuasion, the eldest grandson finally calmed down in his chest, and said to the little servant: "Please invite him into the front hall, and say that the master will come over." ”

The eldest grandson came to the front hall, and saw a person sitting in the hall, young and handsome, with a good face like a good woman, who was the personable outsider Li Fei.

Seeing him come in, Li Fei put down the teacup and got up and said with a smile: "The tea in the eldest grandson's house always feels more mellow than other people's. If it weren't for the fear that you would be annoyed, the lower officials would have to come to beg for tea often. ”

Although he is a foreigner, he was given to wear it from the third grade, and he is not under the eldest grandson, but at this moment, he calls himself a subordinate official, and his words are humble and polite, which makes people feel like a spring breeze and is extremely comfortable.

The eldest grandson was ironed in his heart when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Master Li is polite, the salt bamboo shoots, walnuts and pine nuts that he gave up to make tea are a new tea master who has been looking for children recently, and he said that he was good after trying it, so he left." Older people can eat it, although they often come to eat tea. ”

Li Fei took advantage of the situation and praised Ling Lang for his filial piety, and said that the eldest grandson was proud in his heart, and his face also showed a red light.

Seeing this, Li Fei turned to mention the exploits of the eldest grandson, greatly praised it, and sighed that due to the absence of the eldest grandson recently, how inconvenient it was to do things at home. When the eldest grandson heard this, his face was proud and gloomy, and he kept silent.

Li Fei smiled again: "Lord Bai has approved the subordinates for a few times to be ineffective, and always said that if the eldest grandson is here, what will happen." My eldest grandson, the lower official has made a special trip to invite you back this time, and please look at the lower officials' sake, how about giving the lower officials some thin noodles? ”

He didn't even mention the white waiter's trust.

Hearing this, the eldest grandson was silent for a moment, and said, "Lord Li is so sincere in his invitation, the eldest grandson has no choice but to obey. There is only one thing: this is for the sake of Master Li's colleagues, but it has nothing to do with others. ”

Li Fei was satisfied, and got up to say goodbye with a haha. Out of the mansion, Li Fei's personal length was called Changfeng, and he asked his own adult: "Master, why do you bother to put this face, don't you just say that it was entrusted by Lord Bai?" ”

Li Fei smiled: "What do you know?" What I want is for his eldest grandson to accept my affection, as for how he is with Bai Shilang, what does he have to do with me! ”

Changfeng suddenly realized: "Master, this is killing two birds with one stone, and it is good and skillful, let him fight by himself, you are the fisherman behind him!" Is the villain right? ”

Li Fei smiled, suddenly sank his face and said, "You said too much!" Go back and ask the butler to get the punishment! As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and got into the sedan chair. Changfeng agreed with a bitter face and left with the sedan chair.

Since Bai Yunqi went back to his parents' house with his wife that day, he was scolded by his eldest brother, and all the vulgar words in the market came out.

Thanks to his Lan Zhongqing's identity as a marquis, he is so taboo that he scolds Lord Lang with a red face and a thick neck, and he has to laugh and listen, don't mention that aggrieved spirit. Fortunately, Lan Muya had already gone out with the others, otherwise he would not have been able to get off the stage.

It was easy to wait for Lan Dashao to finish scolding, Bai Shilang repeatedly apologized and blamed himself, and carefully mentioned the matter of the official playing. Bai Zhongqing glared: "Performance? That's great! What is the responsibility of others! What if it's played? ”

Bai Yunqi smiled all over his face: "Isn't it angry." How about Mu Ya and me, it is our own housekeeping and family affairs, and now if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, let me be punished today, wouldn't it be bad for Mu Ya to look good? ”

Lan Zhongqing snorted in his nose: "Face, is it worth a few taels of silver?" It's not difficult for this marquis to come forward to settle the matter, but you also have to show sincerity, don't wait for the petty family, you know? ”

Bai Yunqi comprehended: "Yes, yes!" I just don't know how much sincerity I have. Lan Zhongqing stretched out two fingers. Tang Shangshu was taken aback and asked tentatively, "Is it two hundred?" Is it two thousand? ”

Lan Dashao looked up to the sky and laughed: "Lao Tzu walked the way of the chief manager next to the saint, so he suppressed that play." You also know that our emperor was forced to be embarrassed by a woman from a foreign tribe that year, and then he often talked about being an official and having a good character. Next to you, there are Li Fei's wolf cub and eldest grandson who are staring at you, at this moment, if there is a misposition, it is not a problem of two thousand taels of silver! ”

Bai Yunqi broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and nodded his head again and again. Lan Zhongqing said step by step: "I dealt with the matter of the inner house earlier, don't let a woman affect your career." ”

Bai Yun nodded like pecking rice, and he thought it was true in his heart. Who said that people are wild and unreliable? See how clear people say this? No problem!

Two thousand taels of silver were handed over to Lan Zhongqing, and in a blink of an eye, they were in Lan Muya's private vault.

She originally refused, but as soon as Mama Fang said that she would leave the little lady as makeup, she accepted it. The daughter is ten years old, and she is so caring and sensible, it is time to prepare a dowry for her.

Generally, large families have prepared it three or five years in advance, because although the money is easy to make, many rare things have to be collected slowly.

seems to be the daughter of her second-class official's mansion, who should have started preparing as soon as she was born, but she has been depressed in her heart and delayed her daughter's affairs.

Thinking like this, Lan Muya felt even more guilty, and ordered the nurse to open a private treasury and take out the silver to search for treasures to fill the dowry. When Mama Fang heard this, she was relieved and excited, and immediately instructed the little leaders to turn around, and she was busy with her own feet not touching the ground.

And at this time, everyone ignored one person: that is the begonia outside the house.

When the little maid Shun'er secretly returned the words entrusted by Haitang to his master, he was immediately reprimanded by the waiter and almost hit the board.

Shun'er originally received a gold-headed silver hairpin from someone else, and after taking the benefits, she had the courage to say more: "The little one didn't dare to say it, but I really saw Mrs. Begonia crying pitifully, and begged the lord to forgive the villain!" ”

When Bai Shilang heard this, he remembered the hibiscus face of Begonia, his skin was so tender that he could pinch out the water, and his figure was so convex and backward that it didn't cause people to reverie. Lord Bai's heart itched, and he took into account his majesty, and coughed: "Since that's the case, it's okay for the master to go and see it another day." ”

That night, a plainclothes hat appeared in front of the begonia.

After some warmth, Bai Yunqi told the beauty his distress and said the reason why he didn't come recently. Haitang listened but rolled his eyes: "Master, in fact, this is a good thing!" ”

Bai Yunqi said depressedly: "Although the matter is over for the time being, there are always people staring at this side, what's so good?" ”

Haitang smiled and clapped her hand: "Why don't you just make it clear to your wife that you can admit me into the house?" Today, there are still three palaces and six courtyards, and there is no prohibition on officials from accepting two rooms. Since the identity of the outer room is inconvenient, you have turned this outer room into an inner room, who can say anything? ”

Bai Shilang was still hesitating: "It's just Madame's brother...... Can you agree? ”

Haitang almost laughed angrily when she heard this: The concubine must be approved by the eldest brother, do you really have the face to say it. When it comes to you, you might as well just hit the wall!

Suppressing her sarcastic expression, she smiled and said, "You can rest assured of this." If the slave family dares to bring it up, there must be a way to make that Marquis Lan have nothing to say! ”

Begonia is worthy of being a happy woman. She didn't know what way to think of it, but she had the ability to send a private letter straight to the study of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, Lan Zhongqing.
