Chapter 22 Seeing the Wind Makes the Rudder
A few days after drinking the porridge, Bai Fusu immediately asked the maid to sincerely convey her attitude of admitting her mistake to her father Bai Yunqi. Bai Yunqi was originally under the influence of the pillow wind of Begonia, and was still about to put on the shelf of the head of the family, but Mrs. Lan Muya couldn't bear it and said: "Okay, master!" Bai Yunqi immediately took advantage of the situation and went down the steps.
Punishing this daughter is also Lan Muya's acquiescence. Mama Fang objected at first, thinking that she was simply aiding and abusing. Helplessly, although Lan Muya seems to be indifferent, she is extremely stubborn about what she believes.
She insisted on carrying out Bai Yunqi's punishment for her daughter. In Mrs. Lan's opinion: A good girl's family, it is out of line to allow her to be a housekeeper, and she has always dismissed the steward and checked the accounts, and she has tossed the chickens and dogs in the house. Now that you are even more stunned, you dare to report to the official?
Losing some silver is a small thing. She is a deep lady but she doesn't know her identity, and she dares to run to report to the official at every turn, who will dare to marry such a powerful woman in the future? She thinks she should teach her daughter a lesson. Mama Fang couldn't help it, so she had to privately ask the kitchen lady to take care of one or two.
Now the matter has finally been finalized: Miss Bai Fusu is no longer involved in housekeeping matters. The stewardship of the White Mansion still belongs to Mrs. Lan, assisted by Aunt Luo. And because my aunt was pregnant, she pointed to Miss Bai Furui and cooperated with the housekeeper.
A turmoil ended, the dust settled, and Bai Fusu was defeated, and Aunt Luo's mother and daughter were satisfied. As for the embezzlement of the dowry by the housekeeper and the concubine, Master Bai had another statement to his wife in private:
It turned out that Bai Yunqi's family was poor when he was a child, but he was fortunate to meet a businessman named Kang Xu to help him, so he was able to enter the school and take the imperial examination. Now he is rich and prosperous, but Kang Xu's business has failed, Bai Yunqi thinks that he is a dignified gentleman, and he should make a comeback to repay his great kindness.
Speaking of this, Bai Yunqi said to his wife with a little shame: "It is only because my husband owes such a great favor that I have no choice but to send Li Yi and Luo's body to move my wife's body, which is really insulting and extremely ashamed!" ”
He looked at his wife's plain-looking face with warmth, but thought coldly in his heart: Your mother's family is so rich, you just took it out and gave it to the lord and me, isn't it a very appropriate thing in the woman's house?
Lan Muya and Bai Yunqi have lived together for all these years, how do they not know what kind of person he is. But she has been taught since she was a child: marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, and all women should obey their husbands after they get married. But she has no feelings for this person, just doing her duty as a lady. So she said: "Don't do this in the future, the daughter will be married soon, and the dowry money must also be left to Fusu." ”
Bai Yunqi agreed, and praised his wife's sweet words. I stayed overnight at Yaxuan. This is rare in several years, Mama Fang's mouth can't be closed, and she hurries to arrange it without touching the ground.
When the news reached the Begonia Garden, Aunt Luo, who was as delicate as a flower, immediately broke the comb in her hand. Daughter Bai Furui got the right to buy, and was pinching a pink pearl ear bell in her mother's room, and proudly gestured on her ear in the mirror, and said to her mother that she was dissatisfied: "Mother, the shell comb is worth five dollars of silver." ”
Luo Anran glared at her with heavy makeup: "How much is the shell comb worth?" If you lose the favor of your father, then you will cry. ”
Bai Furui listened to her mouth and pouted, put on her ear bell to look left and right, and muttered: "I'm afraid that it is you who will fall out of favor." Shangshu is my father, how can he ignore me? ”
Luo Anran was even more annoyed when she heard this, and raised her hand to hit the mirror in front of her to the ground, and scolded her: "Why did the old lady give birth to you who doesn't know what to do!" Look at Bai Fusu, at least people still know how to maintain her nerd! ”
Bai Furui was scolded and cried, and replied: "If you can't help Mrs. and sister-in-law, you will only be angry with me!" After saying that, he turned around and ran away, and Luo Anran, who was angry, stared dryly in the room without mentioning it.
That night was destined to be an unquiet night.
Bai Fusu, the young lady of the Shilang Mansion, was about to blow out the lamp and rest in the Fusu Garden, when she suddenly heard a man's sigh outside the window.
Bai Shao was so frightened that she held a candlestick to protect the young lady, thinking that a thief was coming. Bai Fusu also had a solemn face: Could it be that Luo Anran was so bold that he actually sent people to plot against him?
The master and servant were like great enemies, only to hear the man's voice suddenly chant a poem: "There is a beautiful woman in Fusu Garden, and there is a scholar outside Fusu Garden." The poor scholar has a heart, I don't know what the beauty means? ”
Listening to this oiled crooked poem, Bai Fusu almost laughed angrily: Such a stupid talent dares to be ugly! Bai Shao's side had already shouted: "That fake scholar outside, hurry up, or I'll call the nursing home to come!" ”
I only heard the man's affectionate voice say: "In Xia Luofeng, I have been thinking about Miss Bai Fusu for a long time. I can't sleep tonight, I can't help but come suddenly, I just want to let me see the eldest lady and talk about my heart. ”
It turned out to be him, Aunt Luo's nephew! Luo Anran finally couldn't help it and started to do it?
Bai Shao said angrily: "You thief, don't you know the difference between inside and outside? My young lady doesn't want to see you, so don't get out of here. ”
Luo Feng sighed: "The eldest lady has concerns, Luo Feng knows. I just ask the eldest lady to say a word to me personally, and I will be willing to die immediately! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the window suddenly opened. Luo Feng was overjoyed, stretched his neck and glanced up, trying his best to show his most graceful expression: "Miss, you are finally here, Xiaosheng, ah......"
A basin of sewage was poured on the head, and the affectionate confession came to an abrupt end, ending in exclamation. I only heard a girl in the window still saying: "Oh, this is the slave's footwashing water, Luo Gongzi's clothes are a pity." ”
Luo Feng heard the words, regardless of the water dripping on his head, and hurriedly looked down, only to see that the clothes that had only been smoked today were already stained. His face turned pale, and he scolded secretly: "Little slut, I'll pay attention to you again tomorrow!" I had to put on my clothes and leave in a hurry.
In the house, the master and servant looked at each other and smiled as they listened to the movement. After laughing, Bai Shao immediately said angrily: "I will report to the master tomorrow." Such an inappropriate thing for the son of man, thanks to the fact that he Luo Gongzi is still a person who has read books, but he can also do it! ”
Bai Fusu said with a smile: "Now in this stall, do you think my father will punish him for this and protect me?" With this effort, it is better to settle into sleep earlier. ”
Bai Shao spread the brand-new shining satin on the bed for her, and said angrily: "Miss, you just forget it, what if he comes again tomorrow night?" ”
Bai Fusu already showed a tired face, yawned and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to see my mother." Our Fusu Yuan was originally understaffed, and now it's time to add some people. ”
When Bai Shao heard this, the little girl's eyes immediately lit up.
Bai Fusu said with a smile: "There is one more thing, you come with your ears." I'm going to do this and this and this tomorrow. Do you think it's good? ”
I saw that the maid blushed when she heard this, and writhed: "Girl, it sounds so embarrassing." Will this work for you? ”
"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone." Bai Fusu said lightly: "Come and don't be rude." Mr. Shangguan taught me so attentively that I, as her disciple, should also come up with some means to try. ”
As she spoke, she lay on the soft bed, her eyes closed slightly. Seeing this, Bai Peony immediately blew out the candle and retreated.
It's late at night.
The next morning, Bai Fusu personally washed his hands and made a bowl of lotus seed soup, and went straight to Yaxuan to visit his mother. Shangguan Cheng had mentioned her before. After last night's false alarm, she felt that there was something she needed to do as soon as possible. As for what my father said about asking Aunt Luo for sin? Hehe, she is also worthy of a slave!
When she came to her mother's door, she vaguely heard the laughter of her father, Bai Shilang, and her mother. Then the maid opened the curtain and told her to let her in. She steadied herself, took the tray from Green Willow's hand, and walked in slowly.
Although Lan Muya has never been close to her, she is still her biological mother after all. She looked at her daughter's little face that had lost weight in a few days, and she was still very touched in her heart. Bai Fusu invited Anbi, Lan Muya tasted the porridge, put down the spoon and said lightly: "The porridge is very good." Do you know you're wrong? ”
Bai Fusu looked at his father, who was having a morning meal, and replied respectfully: "Fusu knows his mistake, and he won't dare to do it in the future." ”
Lan Muya said: "As a woman, you must listen to your parents' teachings when you are young, and it is serious to learn some needles and chisel women's red." Since you have the blue eyes of everyone in Shangguan and worship her as a teacher, it is also good to know some words and recognize some principles of life. ”
"It's just that you shouldn't have the mind to be strong. It is important to know that everything in a girl's family is decided by her parents. The girl's family is still chaste and elegant in order to be valued. Lan Muya spoke seriously, she sincerely hoped that her daughter could live a safe and happy life.
Bai Fusu hurriedly agreed, and took the opportunity to talk about wanting to buy a few more girls in his yard. Lan Muya saw that her daughter was very well-behaved today, and she didn't mention that she wanted to take care of the house, thinking that she should know something about this matter, so she agreed.
As soon as the daughter in front of her left, the white waiter in the back said: "Madame said that she is very good today, and the girl should be like this." Just listen to the meaning of Mrs. Shicai's words, could it be that someone came to propose marriage? ”
Lan Muya shook her head and said, "My daughter hasn't reached yet, so this matter is not in a hurry." Have you ever heard of the name of the eldest prince of the Fuguo prince's family? It is said that the face and temperament are excellent, and he is quite famous. ”
When Bai Shilang heard this, he couldn't help but twist his beard and laughed: "Madam said yes, it must be good to think about it." For the husband to believe in the vision of the lady. As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Lan's plain face with eyes that seemed to be infinitely warm, and whispered, "Otherwise, how could I marry my lord back then?" ”
Bai Yunqi was a beautiful man when he was young, and now although he is a little older, he still has a good demeanor. He usually disliked his wife's boring behavior, and never bothered to do so.
Seeing him in this situation, Rao is Lan Muya was already a person with a calm heart, and she couldn't help blushing, glanced at him and said, "The maids and women are here, what do you look like, master?" ”
As he spoke, he saw that there was no one in the room, and Mama Fang, who was very discerning, had already driven the girls to retreat.
The white waiter smiled cheekily.
