Chapter 10 Shangguan Orange
The neighbors all looked around, only to see the maidservants of the Shangguan family come and open the door and said: "The eldest lady said that she is now clean and used to it, and then go out to welcome the wine and gifts, and she is impatient, so she will not go." Please ask Master Bai to invite Professor Gao Ming Ling Yuan. He refused on the spot.
The housekeeper was greatly disappointed, and pleaded again and again, but the officials just didn't allow it, and finally ordered the maid to go and simply close the door.
The butler touched his nose with ash. Although he is only a housekeeper, he is the housekeeper of the second-class mansion of the imperial court, and he is usually a figure who calls and embraces him. Even those petty officials and officials, when they saw him Li Yi on the same day, they all respectfully forced their hands to call him "righteous master".
Even if he has a little thin face in front of the master, he is easy not to reprimand loudly. How many years of dignity, where have you ever been angry with a woman?
Li Yi, the angry housekeeper at the moment, pouted his beard and said viciously: "Go!" "I led a group of subordinates to return the same way, and when I returned to the house, I said to the white waiter, I really hope that the lord will order the woman to be tied up, and she will be cured of the crime of disrespect, see how she is!
Unexpectedly, Bai Shilang patted his head and said, "Confused! I forgot about it. The little guy brought the clothes, and I will personally invite the master. ”
Begonia next to him couldn't help but say sourly: "Master, this Shangguan Orange everyone is also taking Qiao, doing it like this." With how powerful she is, she is just a female master, how can she dare to treat the master like this? ”
Bai Shilang smiled: "You're jealous, aren't you?" You're a little woman. That Shangguan Orange was given the name of 'National Hand' by the Holy Emperor, and it was the second Niangniang who had been stained with the first emperor's dragon clothes, don't say that she can't get my turn to be the master, just get it, and I am not uncommon for you to be a! ”
After saying something, the begonia turned anger into joy.
At that moment, Lord Bai Shilang prepared a generous gift and went to the Lion's Head Alley in person. The butler was also with him this time, just waiting to see how the woman slapped her in the face this time. The old man came in person and made such a big face for her, why didn't the lady hurry up to greet her?
This time I really entered the door.
The housekeeper held his face high, followed the master into the hall, stood straight behind the master and glanced at the woman, only to see her:
A green cloth top, a blue cloth skirt, and a Hinagar book hairpin on the head. The face is not powdered, showing a natural appearance. Although it is not very beautiful, it is also three points moving.
The Shangguan family ordered the maidservant to serve a cup of tea, and listened to the polite words of praise from the white waiter, but they just bowed their heads and said nothing. When Bai Shilang finally expressed his intentions, she raised her head and smiled faintly, and only spoke a few words, but her mouth was gentle but unquestionable - she refused on the spot!
The butler's face changed.
It's the other way around! What kind of person, isn't it just a talented female master, a stinky teacher, but because the men tout a little bit of a thin name on weekdays, they dare to refute the face of the squire of the Ministry of Works?
Bai Shilang repeatedly begged for kind words, but Shangguan Cheng just ignored it. Helplessly, in the end, Lord Shilang had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
Haitang heard about this, but sneered three times in a row: "Shangguan Orange." Master, relax, wait for the slave family to try again, maybe she will see that the slave family is also a woman, but give a little face. ”
Bai Shilang was already dead set on this matter, and it was okay to hear her say so. Unexpectedly, Haitang took a maidservant girl to take a trip by herself, and when she came back, she smiled and said, "Master, let someone tidy up the yard." The girl had already agreed to teach us. Lord Bai Shilang was pleasantly surprised, and praised the begonia.
The Shilang Mansion is renovating the yard and opening the warehouse to move, and this move has already been known to the whole house. The maidservants brought by Begonia's mother and son were very honest for a few days because of the fact that the eldest maid Wang Sumei was beaten and sold for a few days. At this time, he began to move again, and he became proud: Look, our aunt is capable!
But Bai Fusu was deeply skeptical about the matter. It is said that Shangguan is a woman who has had an affair with the first emperor, what kind of high-ranking officials and nobles can put it in her eyes? It is even more impossible for people to lack silver.
If it is said to be for the sake of Begonia's face, Fusu is even more hehe, what kind of face does a concubine have? The temper of the above official, she was not beaten out by others when she came to the door, and agreed to deign to be her daughter a husband......
If you want to say that there is no cat here, you don't even believe in ghosts!
Bai Fusu pondered for a long time and called Bai Shao: "You go and tell my mother that I want to go back to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion today to visit my grandmother and uncle." ”
The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, the home of generations of meritorious service. Since the old marquis sacrificed his life for the country earlier, the holy royal pen personally mentioned the four vermilion characters of "generation loyalty", which are still hanging in the lobby.
Bai Fusu took a sedan chair to the door, and a maid and servant came out to greet him at the side door. She lifted the sedan curtain, looked up at the plaque on the tall and luxurious mansion, and saw that the big characters "Creating the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong" were very eye-catching.
Entering the house, I saw the pavilions and pavilions all around, the wild geese swept up a clear blue in front of them, the willows along the coast were still clinging, and the willows were hanging down in the clear water to reflect the clear shadow. In the middle of the lake stands a pavilion, and the green tiles are flying.
The four maids carried the sedan chair and walked through the two doors, zigzags and turns, and walked for an unknown amount of time before finally stopping. A maidservant's voice said softly, "Girl, it's already here." ”
Fusu got off the sedan chair and saw five large main rooms in front of her, and the maid took her into one of the rooms. As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a hint of sandalwood, and the room is simply furnished, but gorgeous.
At this moment, an old lady with silver sideburns was sitting on a chair and looking at her with a smile. There are two benches next to it, and on the left hand side is a middle-aged man, who looks heroic and extraordinary, it is her uncle Lan Zhongqing, who is known as "Jin Yu Qiwai"; On the right hand sat three beautiful women dressed in noble and elegant clothes, namely the eldest aunt Lan Xintong, the second aunt Lan Peony and the third aunt Lan Xiuying.
At this time, a maid had already put on a brocade mat, Bai Fusu knelt upright, kowtowed and said, "Grandmother is above, granddaughter Fusu sees you coming." ”
Speaking of Bai Fusu's three uncles, in addition to the eldest uncle who is the son of the famous Anguo Duke of Chang'an, the second uncle Sun Zhi has just made up for the Jiangning prefect and will go out to take office soon; The third uncle, Li Siye, is now a member of the ministry, and he is usually taciturn, which is very different from the presumptuous and flamboyant style of the three aunts, as if they are not two people.
Maternal grandmother Yang, since the old marquis died on the battlefield, gave birth to Huafa early, and the affairs of the house were also handed over to the eldest grandmother Sun to manage, and the family only ate fasting and chanted Buddha all day long.
Yang's old man, seeing that his granddaughter liked it very much, joked: "What kind of wind is blowing today, blowing my Fusu." Come over and show your grandmother, do you look good again? ”
Bai Fusu also smiled, got up and sat on the low stool next to the old lady, blinking his eyes and looking at the old man, the expression clearly said: Look, I'm better looking than before, right?
Yang couldn't help but smile, hugged her and said, "Monkey, monkey!" Look at your little face, it's really the same as your mother when she was a child. ”
Everyone was smiling.
