Chapter 12: Confession
A spring rain and a warmth.
Compared to the summer at this time, the only thing that came after the rain was sweltering.
The rain had been raining all morning, and Bai Ying, who was not in a good mood, was in no mood to stay in the house, so she simply got up and walked directly to the garden.
I heard that Xu Jiang only returned to the house at night, and stayed in the front yard directly, and did not return to the main courtyard.
At this time, there were many fewer people in the house because the ancestors were going to incense, and the road from the small courtyard to the garden seemed a lot deserted.
It was only after she got up this morning that she learned that Xu Jia had accompanied her ancestor out of the city to incense, and she wouldn't be able to come back for a while.
"Did Mother say when she and the Ancestor will come back?"
She asked, walking ahead, carefully avoiding the puddle.
"The ancestor is going to stay in the temple for one night, and it is estimated that he will not come back until tomorrow morning."
Her words were originally intended to ask Banxia, but who knew that the last thing came was Yinping, which made her frown.
She glanced back at the silver screen indifferently, and without saying anything, she turned around and continued to walk towards the pavilion not far away.
In this way, he controls the affairs of the house, and thinks that he is seamless, and no one can know.
Now in order to invite merit, he is rushing to answer her question!
Does this silver screen really think that she is a soft persimmon, let others pinch her!
Can you tolerate such behavior?
The procession that was still moving all stopped because she stopped.
She turned around and glanced at the silver screen behind her, but said to Banxia: "Banxia, as the steward of my small courtyard, why does your news come slower than others?" ”
When Banxia heard this, she didn't care about the rain on the ground, so she quickly knelt down, "Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong." ”
Bai Ying glanced at the silver screen again and found that the other party's face had turned pale.
Realizing that the goal had been achieved, he said, "Get up, next time it won't be so simple." I let you take care of things, not let your subordinates mess around, you should be punished! ”
"Slaves and maids take it to heart."
Banxia stood up after saying this, she slapped the dirt on her body, and didn't forget to glare at the silver screen.
Yinping knew that he was wrong, stood humbly, and took a step back in fear.
Bai Ying walked to the pavilion and ordered someone to wipe the stool wet from the rain that drifted in, and then sat down.
Because of the one just now, I was in a nervous screen all the way down to the dessert that I had prepared early in the morning when I saw it served.
She hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, walked up to Bai Ying with a flattering smile, and said, "Miss, this is the wolfberry yogurt that the slave maid asked the dining room to prepare early in the morning, you can taste it, just to cool off." ”
Bai Ying, who didn't have a good impression of her, felt even more uncomfortable when she saw the other party flattering her so much.
"What's the good stuff? This king also came to try it. ”
Bai Ying, who was still thinking about whether to refuse directly, suddenly raised her head and looked forward when she heard this.
When he saw that figure appear in front of him, a smile gradually appeared on his face.
She stood up and shouted at the man excitedly, "Uncle Thirteen! ”
Cangshu approached her and glanced at the yogurt on the table, a bruised expression on her face.
"It turns out that Ying'er has already asked people to prepare yogurt, and no one has tasted the red date yogurt that Wang asked the dining room to prepare and bring."
As he said this, his face became more and more sad.
Bai Ying was very disgusted by Yinping's dedication in her heart, so she took the steps handed over by Cangzhu at this time and walked down.
"Uncle Thirteen specially asked the dining room to prepare the red date yogurt that he brought over, how could he not eat it? That's what Uncle Thirteen wants. ”
Her ghostly and clever appearance all fell into Cangshu's eyes, causing the latter to laugh.
He ordered the original things to be taken aside, and the yogurt that had been prepared the morning was brought up.
Because the yogurt is placed in a homemade curling stone, when you take it out, some of the reddened yogurt is still cold on it, which shows how cold the yogurt is in the mouth.
Standing on the side of the silver screen, seeing that the yogurt he specially prepared was snubbed because of the arrival of Uncle Thirteen, he was not in a good mood at the moment, and his face was also revealed.
Cangshu handed the yogurt to Bai Ying, and then sat down beside her. He looked up just in time to see the silver screen with a bitter expression behind her, and immediately said, "This person has a lot of eyes, and he looks like an eyesore." ”
As soon as Cangzhu's words fell, Bai Ying took his attention away from the yogurt.
After looking around, he also knew the reason why the thirteenth uncle said this, and said, "Except for Banxia, everyone else should go down, and there is no need to wait." ”
Although there was only Banxia left alone in the pavilion, she still walked away from the pavilion with a good acquaintance, so as to give Bai Ying and the Thirteenth Master space to be alone.
In the empty garden, except for the guards who patrolled from time to time, there were only three of them.
The quiet environment around Bai Ying made Bai Ying feel terrifying, if it weren't for the thirteenth uncle sitting in front of her, maybe she would mistakenly think that she had returned to a certain day in the twelfth year of Ming Qi.
At that time, I was so quietly killed.
As if frightened by his own memory, Bai Ying couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing her like this, Cangshu couldn't help but worry and asked, "Is the yogurt too cold?" ”
Bai Ying held a small bowl of yogurt in one hand and a spoon in the other, and brought the yogurt to her mouth from time to time.
Hearing Cangshu's question, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, it's just right, it's not only refreshing to eat, but also very comfortable, you should eat this thing in this sultry summer." Although this yogurt is good, it can't be greedy, and you can't sleep at night after accumulating food. ”
She can understand these truths, and Cangshu doesn't plan to say more.
He didn't bring much yogurt with him today, except for enough to satisfy his cravings, and there was only a little left to eat after dinner.
Solving a small bowl of yogurt, Bai Ying wiped her mouth with satisfaction, with a look of "I'm very happy", which made Cangshu laugh when she saw it.
A bowl of yogurt can make her so satisfied, why didn't she find it before?
Xu was a little thirsty along the way, Cangshu poured himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he said: "This king heard that you went to Luo's house yesterday, is there anything wrong?" ”
Speaking of this, Bai Ying looked worried.
Xu Jia's body passed by what happened in the ancestral courtyard before it became more and more bad, and now he was asked by the ancestor to accompany him to incense, how could he afford it?
But the ancestor spoke, where is her turn to intervene in this Xu Mansion?
In the end, it will make the ancestors unhappy, and Xu Jia's family will not be a good person.
Thinking of this, Bai Ying felt uncomfortable in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
"I visited Mrs. Luo a few days ago and knew that the old lady knew how to use medicine. My mother's body was difficult to give birth to me when she gave birth, and although neither of us was in danger of life, my mother fell ill and her health deteriorated. Yesterday, I wanted to ask the old lady, but I unexpectedly pounced. ”
Cangshu listened to her words quietly, and began to think about it in his heart.
He stretched out his hand to hold Bai Ying's restless little hand on the table, without too much expression on his face, and said firmly: "This matter will be handled by the king." ”
She nodded, not saying anything more.
In her previous life, although the old lady was not a difficult person, she was not an easy person to be invited.
Yesterday, she went to Luo's house, just with the idea of giving it a try, and she might not be able to make the old lady respond.
But Uncle Thirteen is different, he is the master of Basil, and Basil is the son of the old lady.
Let Uncle Thirteen do this thing, although it is the master's route, it is not difficult to guarantee that the old lady will still keep Uncle Thirteen's words in mind.
Besides, she also asked Yinping to send her own meeting gift and a letter yesterday, and the old lady may be moved.
After soothing her uneasiness, Cangshu thought for a while and said, "Don't go out of the house in the near future, stay in the mansion well, if you feel bored, this king will let you write some drama books to relieve your boredom." ”
Bai Ying didn't ask anything more about Cangshu's words, so she nodded in response, "I'll just listen to what Uncle Thirteen said." ”
Such a well-behaved appearance made Cangshu can't help but quip, "When did this king's little girl become so obedient, she didn't even ask why this king didn't let you out of the house." ”
The sentence "This king's little girl" made Bai Ying's heart warm when she heard it.
She knew what she had done, so she naturally couldn't hide it from Uncle Thirteen, and she knew from her previous life that her every move was told to Uncle Thirteen by Basil.
If Uncle Thirteen was to make a ghost when he knew what was going on, she would be the only one who was unlucky in the end.
"The prince of the Jing family is inquiring about which young lady left the house yesterday."
Bai Ying calmly talked about what happened after she left the mansion yesterday.
When Cangshu heard this, he didn't ask her why she asked the people in the house to grit their teeth as soon as she returned to the house, but looked at her quietly and asked her to continue.
Bai Ying was slightly helpless when she saw his appearance, can you not say this?
Do you want her to say that she loved the prince of the Jing family before, trampled on all his kindness to herself, and followed the prince to live and fly.
became husband and wife with Shiziye, but was sowing discord by adulterers, which not only caused her to lose the fetus in her womb, but also killed herself.
And then she was reborn and went back to six years ago, so she cut off all her news because she didn't want to have anything to do with the son?
Bai Ying swore that if she dared to say this, Uncle Thirteen would dare to think too much about her, and sent the doctor to see her and ordered her not to go out for a month.
But if others hear her say this, of course, they will say that she is a fool and a dream, and she is evil! This is even more serious.
Regarding all kinds of issues, Bai Ying had already thought about them at the beginning, so that at this time, she was able to express her thoughts naturally.
"Uncle Thirteen, think about it, what I touched when I was a year old is a jade pendant that symbolizes your status, and this can be regarded as a doll kiss. Over the years, you have often walked around the Xu Mansion, and it is self-evident what the people outside think. Do you think I should defend my innocence for the sake of your reputation, so as not to get you into trouble? ”
Originally, Cangshu wanted to ask why he didn't do that when he went back to the house before, but yesterday, he was obviously stunned by Bai Ying's theory of "thinking about him" at this time.
He immediately put the question aside, and pulled her to talk about the interesting things he had encountered when he temporarily took over the important affairs of King Jing.
The day ended with a burst of laughter.
