I bowed my head and went out of the house, and the fat girl helped me into the carriage of the Brilis.

"Noble girl, don't be sad, the head of the family will be back soon, we will live in Baili Mansion until the beginning of spring next year at most." The fat girl took my hand, leaned over to me, and whispered, "Did the noble girl give away the angelica sachet?" Didn't the head of the house see that the inky hibiscus flowers were actually used by noblewomen......"

"Fat girl!" I looked stunned and said in a deep voice, "When you get to Baili Mansion later, you have to take care of your mouth." They have a big house and a lot of rules, if you say the wrong thing presumptuously, be careful that your life is not guaranteed. ”

"Wouldn't it? If you say the wrong thing, you will be killed, so how many servants in Baili Mansion are not enough? The fat girl touched her neck and said.

"You're sharp-mouthed. Baili Mansion is not as good as the General's Mansion, and the rules that should be done must be done well, lest people say that our general does not know how to discipline his subordinates. ”

"The servant knows his mistake, please punish the noblewoman!" The fat girl knelt in the car and saluted me.

I sighed lightly and pulled her up and said, "Okay, I haven't arrived at Baili Mansion yet, let's wait until I get out of the car!" ”

"Thank you, lady." The fat girl lifted herself up with a smile.

The coachman drove the carriage away from the general's mansion, and there was a noise in the market outside the car, and I lifted the curtain to look at it for a while, and the sorrow in my heart gradually faded, so I turned my head and asked the fat girl: "How old are you this year?" But older than me? ”

The fat girl smiled when she covered her mouth when she heard it: "Ouch, the noble girl is really good at making people happy, the slaves and maids are seventeen years old this year, and it has been almost seven years since they entered the mansion." ”

"Seven years? Then why haven't I seen you before? ”

"When the slave maid first entered the house, she was assigned to the treasury, and she was guarded in the treasury for the first four years!"

"The treasury is built on the edge of the school grounds, no wonder you were very close to the guards in the mansion two days ago."

"Naturally close, I've seen all those monkey cubs bare-bottomed and unclothed."

"You've seen them all!" I remembered the meat words they had when they got together that day, and I couldn't help but be stunned, "Didn't you ...... with them"

When the fat girl saw me blushing, she grinned: "What does the noble girl think?" That day, I had just entered the house, and I followed the housekeeper to the storehouse to receive an errand, and the twenty or so soldiers of them had to stand naked in the snow, which frightened me so much that I covered my face and ran away. Haha, I was young at that time, and I was still scared! ”

"And then?"

"And then, they ran away too, holding on to that."

"You've run away yourself, how can you see them running?" I couldn't help but laugh at the fat girl's exaggerated expression.

"Hahaha, I can't stand it and look back!" The fat girl thought about the scene at that time, and she couldn't straighten her waist with joy.

So, the first thing the people of Baili Mansion saw when they lifted the curtain was the big smiling faces of me and the fat girl. Therefore, later, the slaves and maids in Baili Mansion were talking behind their backs, saying that the new Wu clan girl was already crazy with joy because she had the opportunity to live in Baili Mansion.

Soon after I arrived at Baili Mansion, my grandmother led me to a house near the back garden. Although it is the middle of winter at this time, the grass is withered, but a few plum trees in the garden are blooming just right, the branches are vigorous, red and fragrant, as long as I open the window, I can smell the fragrance of plum blossoms.

"Your daughter, please settle here first, and someone will bring you charcoal and hot water soon." The person who led me into the house was an old woman in her forties, who spoke very kindly.

"Mama Xie, I wonder when I will be able to visit your head and mother?" I handed over all the things I had brought with me to the fat girl, and sat down on the mat behind the desk.

"The head of the house is not in the house at the moment. The mistress said that someone would come later to bring the noble girl to the Jiya Hall in front to meet them. The old lady bowed her head and stood to the side and replied respectfully.

"That's for the best." I motioned for the fat girl to reward the lady with a few coins. She couldn't help but take it overjoyed, knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for the reward, if the noble girl still needs anything in the past two days, just send her maid to find a slave." ”

"Then thank you first!" I smiled back.

"Slave retirement."

When the old lady walked away, the fat girl couldn't help but praise: "This Baili Mansion is really different." The placement and use are not much better than our general's mansion! The old lady just now was too, and the collar was sewn with colored silk. It's really good, it's not like Ge Ma's collar hurts in the winter, and it's still icy. ”

"Your collar hurts?" I asked as I lifted her collar.

"No, no, I'm joking!" The fat girl dodged, but I still saw a red mark on her neck.

"Don't hide, I've seen it all, I've broken my skin so hard."

"I have a lot of flesh on my neck, and I can't help but scratch it when I touch it."

"I don't have ready-made materials at hand at this time, and when I go back, I'll also give you a foot of colored silk embroidered on the collar, so that you don't envy other people's grandmothers."

"Noble girl Xie, then I will be replaced by those little girls in the house who envy me." The fat girl laughed happily.

In order to meet Mr. and Mrs. Barrys later, I freshened up and changed into a set of dark clothes with crimson collars and dark woven moirés, trying to make myself as good as possible without being too showy.

In the middle of the day, a fair-faced temple man guided me to Jiya Hall. I walked slowly behind the temple people and was a little nervous, I don't know what kind of person the hostess of this Baili Mansion will be?

"Lady, why do they all look at you like this?" The fat girl whispered in my ear.

"Don't talk too much, go back and talk about it." I glanced at the fat girl, and she obediently closed her mouth.

Along the way, we met many servants and slaves from Baili Mansion, and they all looked at me with an inquiring look, as if I was a strange thing, an alien who had suddenly broken into their world.

The house where I lived was in the south of Baili Mansion, and the Jiya Hall was in the east, and we followed the temple people around the hall for more than a quarter of an hour before we arrived at the front of the hall.

Jiyatang is built on the ramming platform of more than one zhang high, look up, the eaves teeth are pecked high, the carved beams are painted, it is really magnificent. Walking up the stairs, before we reached the door, a group of white-clothed servants greeted us and respectfully ushered us into the inner hall. In the hall, Dr. Baili sat behind the high-level desk in his usual clothes, and on either side of him sat a beautifully dressed woman.

I walked forward slowly, bowed to him and the woman on my right, and then stood up and curtsied to the woman on my left.

"I told you a long time ago that this girl in Zizhao's mansion is clever and well-mannered, so you can be trusted?" Doctor Baili tilted his head slightly and smiled. Obviously, he was very pleased with what I had just done. "Ah Shi, sit down! You don't have to be formal, just in your own house. ”

I found my place, sat down on my knees, looked at my nose and my nose, and did not dare to slack off.

"He looks very well-behaved, but his background is a little lower." The one who spoke was Mrs. Tsing Yi, who was sitting on the right side of Dr. Baili, and Ran Huan, the sister of the current monarch.

"Zizhao only has this one clan daughter now, although her identity is not as good as our family's red medicine, but it is also valuable compared to the daughters of other doctors' families." After speaking, Doctor Baili pointed to the woman on the left and said to me, "If you still lack something, just tell Ah Shao, she will prepare it for you." The woman in green on the left smiled at me, her delicate face like a dewy apricot blossom in spring. Come to think of it, she is the beauty Shao who was famous in Yongcheng back then.

"Doctor Xie Baili takes care of it, and the maid doesn't lack anything."

The housewife, Ran Huan, laughed when she heard this, turned her head and said lazily to the beauty Shao: "At the end of the year, there are many banquets in the mansion, so I will find Si Yi to make a few more sets of clothes for her. Tomorrow, you go to the treasury to fetch some jade ornaments for her and send them, and send two more servants to serve her. ”

"No." Meiren Shao got up and knelt beside me and replied respectfully.

I leaned down on the ground and saluted in thanksgiving.

"Hongyao and her brother went with the monarch to worship the White Emperor, and they will come back in a few days. When the time comes, someone will lead you to her. In the future, please be exempt from the morning and dusk, and I don't like to disturb people on weekdays. ”

"No, little girl, remember."

"Love, are you still satisfied with this arrangement?" The housemother, Ran Huan, looked at Dr. Baili with a smile, and the afternoon sun shone on her face through the carved window, making the creases in the corners of her eyes more and more obvious.

"This arrangement is very proper, let's all return today!" Doctor Baili nodded and smiled.

"No!" I retreated with the beauty Shao, and when I walked down the stairs, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The beauty Shao beside her laughed softly: "Don't be too restrained, the hostess is actually very kind." ”

"It's good for the concubine to call me Ah Shi. The widow (1) was born noble, and he can take such care of a junior like me, and Ah Shi is already grateful. ”

"Sure enough, it's a sensible child, let's go back and rest first, and I'll send someone to send you tomorrow what my mother ordered."

"Thank you!" I bowed deeply, and the beauty Shao nodded happily and took the maidservants away.
