Chapter 13: The Beginning of the Liu Clan
At night, Bai Ying waited for Banxia after going to bed early.
Banxia cautiously stepped back from Bai Ying's room, closed the door, and returned to his residence with his face crossed.
The residences of the people of the Xu Mansion are basically divided together according to a small courtyard, so as to better take care of the master.
As soon as Banxia returned to his residence, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Yinping standing behind the door worriedly.
When I saw her come back, her eyes immediately glowed.
Banxia glanced at her, "My sister hasn't slept so late, beware of delaying Miss if she can't get up tomorrow." ”
As she said this, she stepped aside to fetch water and wash her face.
Yinping followed behind her, her hands tangled together from time to time due to nervousness.
"I'm really sorry that my sister was punished for today's incident, and I just want to serve Miss better, sister."
Originally, Banxia wanted to slow down this matter, and teach this silver screen a good lesson tomorrow.
I don't know that this person is so ignorant, which pot can't be opened.
That's good, anyway, the sisters in this house don't rest, so she has done what she has to do tomorrow in advance, and she can rest better tonight.
Yinping somehow, after she apologized, Banxia's face, which was originally in a good mood, became more and more solemn, and the fear in her heart became even stronger.
The next day, Xu Jiang went to the early dynasty as always.
Because the old ancestor and Xu Jia's incense came back, Bai Ying instructed Banxia to prepare lunch in the dining room early in the morning, so that the old ancestor and Xu Jia's family could eat delicious dishes when they returned.
As Cangshu said yesterday, in order to allow her to stay in the house in peace, a few boxes of drama books were sent at the moment.
Bai Ying looked at the several boxes placed in front of him, swallowed his saliva, looked at Banxia and asked, "How many copies are there?" ”
Banxia was holding a booklet in his hand, which recorded how many books the Thirteenth Master had sent, and what category they were. She opened the booklet and came one by one: "There are two hundred and thirty-six books in total, and they are ......"
As soon as Banxia wanted to read down, she hurriedly stopped it.
According to her previous experience in watching drama books, the content in it is nothing more than those few things, poor Xiucai experienced a period and finally married a beautiful girl, or a good daughter-in-law met a vicious mother-in-law, and finally how to be virtuous and filial to finally get the mother-in-law's right eyes.
The plot is basically the same, and it can't stand scrutiny, but she is still attracted by the plot inside.
Regarding Bai Ying's stopping, Banxia still couldn't help but say good things for the Thirteenth Master.
"These are all newly written by the Thirteenth Master, although I can't write so much in one night, but these are all written by the Thirteenth Master since he knew that the young lady likes to watch the playbook, and he saved so much and simply sent them all over."
Banxia's words made Bai Ying happy, but she deliberately put on a straight face, "Are you my Yahuan or Uncle Thirteen's Yahuan, how can you say good things about him." ”
"Of course, the slave maid is the young lady's maid, isn't it looking at the thirteenth master who has a young lady in his heart." Banxia hurriedly argued.
Bai Ying has always known that Banxia does things neatly, but when she saw that it was not convenient for Yinping to pack up her books, she knew that Banxia had served her well last night.
This silver screen is okay on weekdays, she was quite honest before she was in charge of the accounts, and as soon as she took some real power in her hands, she began to hold it back, jumping everywhere.
She is not a soft persimmon, whoever comes up can pinch it.
Handing over the matter to Banxia also saved her a lot of worry, not only was she able to punish Yinping, but it also did not affect her work on weekdays.
She looked at Yinping's busy back, thinking that she was also a compassionate master, so she called Yinping and asked with concern: "Yinping, what's wrong with you, why are your fingers swollen like this?" ”
Yinping hid his hand in his sleeve, stood with his head down, and didn't dare to look at Bai Ying, and his tone didn't dare to carry a trace of grievance.
"The slave was somehow bitten by an unknown insect last night, and when I woke up in the morning, I saw that my fingers were swollen, but these are not tight, and the slave has already rubbed the medicine."
Her hands were actually caused by being pricked by Banxia and others last night with needles as thin as hair, and then soaked in water.
But how can this truth be told, and will the young lady believe it after saying it?
In the end, I am afraid that I will anger Miss and say that she slandered Banxia.
"How can it not be tight? It's all swollen like this. No, I have the plaster given by Uncle Thirteen here, there are still some left, I'll let Banxia take it for you to rub, so it's good and fast. ”
After Bai Ying finished speaking anxiously, she immediately asked Banxia to get the plaster.
"Remember, it was Uncle Thirteen who gave him a bottle, do you remember clearly?"
She emphasized again, and Banxia immediately understood, and hurriedly took the order.
After a while, Banxia reluctantly took the medicine over, and when he handed it to Yinping, Banxia didn't forget to glare at Yinping angrily.
"You're in luck."
Yinping took the white porcelain bottle sealed with a red cloth and hurriedly knelt down to thank Bai Ying.
Bai Ying didn't want to see her, so she quickly retreated.
Yinping, who left with the plaster, couldn't help but hate Banxia in his heart.
Everyone knows that the Xu Mansion never advocates corporal punishment for punishing people, at most, it is to deduct the monthly money so that people can remember it for a long time.
Most of the Yahuan in Xufu came to sell themselves to be Yahuan because the family had no money, and as long as the number of years on the contract was reached, they could leave Xufu and start a family.
Yinping has no family, she is an orphan, and she was picked up by a grandmother in the ancestral courtyard, and last year the grandmother also left the old man, and she was left alone in the entire Xu Mansion.
Last night, Banxia let people physically punish her, she naturally didn't think that this was what Bai Ying meant, but she thought that Banxia couldn't stand it and stole her limelight, so she retaliated in private.
But what if Banxia can't get used to her?
Not only did the young lady not ask her about her previous mistakes, but she also gave her a plaster.
It seems that this young lady is just a soft persimmon for others to pinch!
After sending away the silver screen, Banxia hurriedly trotted back to Bai Ying's side and said, "Miss, you've gone far." ”
Bai Ying, who heard this, nodded, took the handkerchief and wiped her hands, "It is estimated that she is still grateful to Miss Ben at this time, and she will know that she is wrong when she really uses the plaster." ”
"Miss, this method is really wonderful!"
Hearing Banxia's praise, Bai Ying just smiled indifferently and didn't make any more comments.
She is not a good-hearted Lord, how can she give medicine to a man whom she hates the most?
Only this time she borrowed the name of Uncle Thirteen, hoping that he would know and not blame herself.
After all, she's also someone who has something to do!
At noon, knowing that the old ancestor and Xu Jia's family had returned to the front yard, Bai Ying hurriedly rushed from the garden to the front yard.
When she rushed to the front yard, the first thing she saw was not Xu Jia's family or her ancestor, but also the person she didn't want to see - Liu's!
How could that man be here!
Doesn't she supposed to show up next year?
At that time, Xu Jia's family finally died of illness because of his deteriorating health, and Xu Jiang couldn't resist his ancestor, and finally married the Liu family, who had been looking for by his ancestor for a long time, to become his stepfamily.
After Liu came, he teamed up with her cousin Su Hexiang to harm her, and her world was dark from then on!
Liu's early appearance undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to Bai Ying.
After she called "grandma", she walked behind Xu Jiashi, holding Xu Jiashi's hand tightly, and staring at Liu's with both eyes.
Xu was attracted by Bai Ying's direct gaze, and the Liu family supported the old ancestor, looked at Bai Ying with a smile on his face, and quipped: "This is Bai Ying, she seems to be afraid of me." Don't be afraid, Ying'er, I'm not a man-eating tiger. ”
Compared with Liu's jokes, the old ancestor didn't think so.
She glanced at Bai Ying coldly, and then glanced at Xu Jia as well.
She moved her mouth and said, "Hmph, where is this afraid, it's clear that she is as uneducated as her mother, and she doesn't shout when she sees people." ”
The words of the old ancestor made Bai Ying feel angry, if she was not afraid that she would lose the identity of Miss Xu and lose her bargaining chips, she was really worried that she would turn her back.
Thinking that the other party is just a visitor and a guest, no matter how much he is loved by his ancestors.
She is not married, and she is also half the master of this Xu Mansion! You can reorganize your own territory!
"As grandma said, where am I afraid of you, Aunt Liu, I'm just worried about my mother's body. A few days ago, I was frightened and didn't suppress the shock, in order to be able to do a good job of the responsibility of my daughter-in-law, I didn't complain a few words and accompanied my grandmother to incense. ”
Bai Ying said and fiddled with the old ancestor's side, and continued: "If you stay in the temple, you must eat a vegetarian diet. In just one night, how can I see that grandma, you and your mother have lost a lot of weight? I ordered the dining room to prepare lunch early in the morning, and grandma, you and your mother will come out to eat after changing your clothes. ”
After saying this, she made a petition, and then glanced at Liu defiantly.
You Liu want to be a good person, but don't forget, this is my territory, you are nothing!
Liu is a typical southerner, with delicate and small facial features, and her height is just right. Three years ago, due to the needs of the family business, the family moved to Beijing.
Although the Liu family is a family of merchants, they have taken root in the capital in the past three years, have personal relations with many officials, and their business is in full swing.
Despite this, the Liu family, who is already twenty-three this year, has not yet married, so it is inevitable to gossip.
For Bai Ying to call her Aunt Liu, she had to respond.
But it is the appearance of the Liu family, no matter how Bai Ying looks at it, he thinks that marrying such a person back home will only bury his family's future.
At the dinner, Bai Ying adhered to the principle of not saying a word, sat quietly beside Xu Jia's and ate, and served Xu Jia's vegetables from time to time, striving to be a filial daughter.
Despite this, she did not forget to give her ancestors impression points.
Although the ancestor has no good impression of this granddaughter on his face, he is also her only granddaughter, and it is false to say that he doesn't like it, but what he hates even more is that his mother's belly is not angry.
Over time, she began to make a face to this granddaughter.
Although I knew that this should not be, I couldn't pull my head to apologize, so I simply let things develop viciously.
Compared to the joy of the three of them, Liu was embarrassed.
Not only did he not be able to talk to his ancestors during the whole meal, but he didn't dare to start with the chopsticks in his hand.
She is a southerner, but the Xu family likes to eat spicy, and the most common vegetables must be added with some chili peppers, which is completely unacceptable to her.
After the old ancestor stopped the chopsticks, Bai Ying also stopped the chopsticks under his hand.
She raised her eyes to look at the bowl in front of Liu, there was still half of the rice left in it, and she frowned immediately.
"Does Aunt Liu think the food is not palatable? I didn't eat much food, or let the dining room prepare some more food you like, and when I was hungry, we didn't take good care of the host. ”
When Liu Shi heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "No, it's just that I have some chest tightness today and I don't have much appetite, and I don't eat much on weekdays, so I don't care." ”
She struggled to get the attention of her ancestors, and her early experiences led to her still not getting married.
She is already thirty out of twenty, and it is even more difficult for her to find a good family to marry.
Although the father of the family intends to find an official to let her marry and become a concubine, how can she be willing to be proud?
Last year, she accompanied her mother to the temple to offer incense, met the old ancestor by chance, saw Xu Jiang, fell in love at first sight, regardless of the other party's existing family, and approached the ancestor step by step.
Anyway, she won't be able to live for many years when she looks at Xu Jia's appearance, and the main room won't be hers by then?
