Chapter 12: Shangguan everyone
Bai Fusu saw that the scene was a little cold, so he hurriedly praised his cousin, and even Lan Zhenzhen and Lan Fang also praised it, and finally turned the atmosphere around. The purpose of today's visit had unexpectedly received news from her cousin and aunt, and she had gossiped a few words with several elders, and then offered to take her leave and go back.
The first one of the Yang family disagreed: "Why do you have to leave here, don't Fusu talk to his grandmother much?" Today your aunt made squirrel mandarin fish in the kitchen, which you have always loved. The three aunts also spoke out to save them.
Bai Fusu said with a smile: "My grandmother and aunts and uncles cherished the food they wanted to keep, so they should not give up. It's just that Fusu has learned to be a housekeeper recently, and a lot of chores have been added to the house. It was because Fusu had to share his mother's worries in the house, so he had to come back another day. ”
Yang didn't realize anything when he heard it, but Sun knew that she was talking about her father Bai Yunqi accepting a new aunt, so he said, "That's it." Then he called the big maid and said, "You go to the makeup box in my house and bring those things." ”
He smiled at Bai Fusu again: "Ago, your uncle had a boat from Suzhou and Hangzhou under his hand, and among the things he brought, there were a few pairs of gold and three things that looked chic, and it just so happened that your sisters were here today, so I gave you a piece of fun." So saying, the maid came in with something and opened it on a handkerchief for the ladies to see.
Everyone took a closer look, and it was really exquisitely made and chic. At present, each of the four girls received three things with a deputy gold, and the Sun family treated them equally, and did not favor one over the other because the two girls were concubines.
Lan Xi and Bai Fusu both thanked each other. Lan Zhenzhen and Lan Fang, although they are only concubines, because of their mothers and sons, they can't help but see them more precious, and they also think highly of themselves on weekdays. At this time, when I saw that it was just the three things of the deputy gold, I didn't care about it, and I just thanked my mother-in-law casually.
Bai Fusu said goodbye to his grandmother and all his aunts and sisters, and left the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
This time I came to my grandmother's house, so that she faintly felt the undercurrent floating under the big family, and also noticed some hidden feelings about Shangguan's family: this female family seems to have some stories that are not humane.
And Aunt Begonia obviously knows more than others, so much so that the women taboo her.
Things are getting more and more interesting......
Back in his yard, Bai Fusu didn't wait to change his clothes and called someone to call Bai Shao over. Bai Shao was watching the new little girl do the laundry, just because the girl's clothes were delicate, lest the girls come, and they would be washed and damaged without knowing the severity. Suddenly, I heard that the girl was calling herself, and after a few more words, she hurried back to serve.
Bai Fusu was sitting under the peach tree drinking tea. She has never liked the tea mixed with walnut, melon, kernel and chestnut silk and the like, but only loves the faint floral fragrance in the bitterness of the flower tea, and feels that there is a different taste.
Bai Shao entered the courtyard, and saw her own girl's light and breezy appearance, as if she had hidden infinite thoughts, and like an old man who had gone through vicissitudes, she felt a little out of the world in a trance.
Seeing Bai Shao, Bai Fusu pinched the lid of the teacup and gently scraped the cup and said: "Bai Shao, I remember that when Mama Cao signed your deed of sale, you still had two brothers at home. Now I wonder what they do for a living. ”
Bai Shao said: "The girl still remembers." The slave brother farmed for the rich man's family in his hometown, and my old son and mother were showing him his sister-in-law in the past two years; There is also a brother who works as a helper in a shop in the city, earning a few pennies a month, which is only enough for his own family, but he can't make a living. ”
Bai Fusu nodded and said, "Now your girl has a matter, thinking that it is convenient for your brother to be outside, if he can do it, he can come and receive five taels of silver after the matter is completed." Do you ask him if it is possible? ”
Bai Shao was overjoyed when she heard this: "Thank you girl for thinking." When the girl has commanded, there is nothing he will refuse, as long as the girl does not think him is clumsy. ”
Bai Fusu said: "This is very good. You come with your ears. Bai Shao hurriedly came up, only to hear her own girl explain like this. She nodded again and again: "My good young lady, this is easy, you can just look at it!" ”
On the day Shangguan Cheng arrived in front of the door of the Hubu Shangshu Tang Mansion, the weather was excellent and cloudless. Bai Shilang learned the news early in the morning and led the whole house to greet him at the door as a sign of respect.
Shangguan everyone changed their clothes today, and they are not so plain anymore, but they still don't apply powder, and they are plain and face the sky. Her eyes were bright, and she glanced at the people who had come to greet her, and greeted each other. Only Bai Fusu had a heart and found that her gaze deliberately skipped over Begonia.
It seems that this woman also has something to hide from others.
Entering the mansion, the yard has long been cleaned up, and the Yonghui Courtyard, which is next to the Water Pavilion, can be seen to be carefully arranged in every grass and tree. Haitang ran before and after with a smile, kept talking about things, and actually took out a posture of a lady in charge.
Bai Fusu asked Bai Shao to bring the four treasures of the study that he had prepared, and said with a smile: "Thank you, auntie, for seeking Mr. Shangguan for my sisters' education!" My aunt has been busy all day, and she has worked hard, so let's go back and rest. ”
As soon as these words came out, several people present were stunned. Bai Shilang first bowed his head and said, "Is Fusu even willing to go to school?" So much better. Lan Muya listened to it, but she had nothing to do, but in fact, she didn't approve of her daughter learning those useless things. In her opinion, it is enough for this daughter to learn to be a female celebrity and then learn to be a housekeeper.
Shangguan Cheng frowned and said, "Excuse me, is this girl also the student I want to teach?" Bai Fusu smiled and said, "What Mr. said is true." It's just me and my sister in the house, so I'm going to bother my husband. ”
Haitang didn't expect Bai Fusu to be able to put down his daughter's shelf, and he opened his mouth to rub the female master, and said it so naturally. This cheekiness made her can't help but look at Tang Yi's cheekiness, and at the same time secretly hate.
Shangguan Cheng saw Haitang's expression, she had been immersed in Vanity Fair for many years, she had already guessed a few points, and said coldly at the moment: "There is a sentence, I have to talk about the front first: although I agreed to come to the church, I only taught Mr. Xi, not a master." If you take the name of my Shangguan disciple and go out to talk about it, I won't admit it. ”
Bai Furui objected first: "What you gentleman said is not right! Since he is a gentleman, why can't he be regarded as a master and apprentice? She had already heard her mother talk about the benefits of worshipping Shangguan Cheng as a teacher, so she was anxious when she heard this, and rushed out. Baiyunqi and Begonia were in a hurry to drink, but it was too late.
Shangguan Cheng's face changed at that time. was about to have a seizure, but I saw that Miss Bai Fusu smiled and said, "My sister is really ignorant." How blessed it is for our sisters to have the official to teach us personally? Please don't be annoyed, sir, the little girl will definitely teach her to know the rules when she turns back. ”
Where would Bai Furui convince this sister-in-law, she blurted out: "Who wants you to teach me, you ......" said this, presumably remembering the slap last time, and finally didn't say the word "slut".
But it is extremely inappropriate for her daughter to say such things in front of Shangguan and everyone. Bai Yunqi's old face was almost the same color as the red moire crepe robe on his wife Lan Muya, and he immediately reprimanded: "Bold! From today on, in addition to learning art from Mr. Shangguan, you will go to your sister-in-law's yard to learn some rules! After speaking, he said a few polite words to Shangguan Cheng, and then brushed his sleeves and left.
Lan Muya frowned and said coldly: "Aunt Hai, did you hear what the master said?" If you don't want to, you can go and tell the master. He said to Shangguan Cheng again: "The little girl's lack of education makes you laugh." ”
Haitang hated that iron could not become steel, looked at her daughter's aggrieved face, and then looked at Bai Fusu's appearance as if she was smiling, and finally said ruthlessly: "What Madam said is extremely true. Fleur, just do it. ”
White Fleur was shocked. She doesn't take the people in the house seriously, but she knows that her mother does what she says. With two bubbles in her eyes, she replied with a bitter face: "Yes." ”
Bai Fusu couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this: "Good sister, don't worry, my sister will definitely teach you well." ”
She looked at Haitang with a smile and said secretly: Are you annoyed? My good stepmother in my previous life, but now, it's just the beginning!
Shangguan Cheng is worthy of everyone's name. As soon as she began to teach, it was as if she had changed into a different person, and the room was full of people who could only hear her talking eloquently, and her spirit was flying. After talking about the benefits of women's education, she began to teach the study of articles.
Bai Fusu was just practicing female celebrity in his previous life, and he had never heard these wise sayings. At this time, she was sitting on the precarious side, listening carefully, only to feel that every word was true, as if the sound of the Tao was in her ears, which made people suddenly open, and unconsciously listened to it as if she was fascinated, and there was a smile on her lips.
But the white hibiscus on the bitter side. She was not interested in these at all, if it weren't for the fact that her aunt said that she had Shangguan Cheng as her husband, she had a talent and a name, and she would be the head lady of the nobles of the high-ranking family in the future, so she would not have disdained to listen to this female ancestor chanting the scriptures.
It's not as nice as the bird in the tree.
Speaking of birds, the yellow bird in his yard was ordered by his father to get it to relieve his boredom, and his yellow feathers are very good-looking, and his cry is extremely crisp.
I heard the slave maid named Hongmei next to me say that there is a green-headed parrot in my sister's yard who can speak. When she turns around, she must ask her mother to get such a one for herself, and it must be much better than that of her sister. Looking at her appearance, she looks ugly with a flat head and a flat face, where is she worthy of these good things?
Bai Furui was thinking wildly, when she suddenly heard the female gentleman call her name: "Second Miss, you get up and answer the next question: Why did the girl go to school?" ”
Let's say that Bai Furui was thinking nonsense, and suddenly heard the female gentleman call her name: "Second Miss, you get up and answer: Why did the girl go to school?" ”
Poor White Fluffie didn't know what she had just said. She knew that her husband must have found out that she was absent-minded, so she had to whisper and say vigorously, "Girls go to school,...... You can learn the words of the sage, well, and that and that knows the rules......"
Shangguan Cheng unceremoniously interrupted her: "What nonsense! Miss, you come and tell her! ”
