Chapter 10 Proposals
There is a tailor shop in the west of the city, and the proprietress of the shop, Mrs. Fang, is a well-known matchmaker in Shili Eight Villages, and she likes to match men and women all day long.
Just when the nick was still practicing the trick of hand pinching, Fang Po knocked on the door of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Who is it?" asked the servant at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion through the door.
"The woman in the west of the city brought a woman to visit Madame Bai on something. "There was the voice of the knight of the city lord's mansion outside the door.
The Guards of the City Lord's Mansion are a knight group dedicated to protecting the security of the City Lord's Mansion, and all outsiders need to verify their identities and report to the servants in the palace, and then the servants will pass through the white lady in the hall before they can enter the door to discuss matters.
And the leader of the Praetorian Knights, named He'an, is not very old, but he also passed the advanced assessment of the glass knights, and sacrificed his life on the battlefield to save him in the early years. And it is precisely because of this that Bai Killing Fang has placed it in such an important position, for twenty years, day and night.
"Okay, Commander Tsuru, please, a moment. Then the servant hurried into the hall.
Half an hour later, there was another rush of footsteps, and the servant opened the door of the house, and saw the woman standing beside the crane commander, and behind him there was a shy woman.
"Mrs. Fang, please come here. The servant led the way, and Madame Bai had just come to the hall and beckoned them to sit down.
"What is Sister Fang here for today?" asked Madame Bai, and then several maids brought three bowls of tea and poured them one by one.
"Hey, didn't I come to see you, Sister Bai, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Fang Po picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sighed repeatedly: "Good tea, the tea in the City Lord's Mansion is really different." ”
Madame Bai also smiled gently: "Look at what you said, if you like it, how about bringing a bag back later." ”
Fang Po hurriedly said "oops" and thanked her again and again.
"This is ......," asked Madame Bai, looking at the young woman.
The woman got up, made a gesture, and said, "The little woman's name is Mei Niang, and Granny Fang brought me here today, yes...... It's for ......"
Seeing that Mei Niang couldn't speak, Fang Po said to Mrs. Bai: "Sister Bai, you also know that my wife likes to do some red things for people in her life, isn't this a new guy in my family, it's this Mei Niang, I tell you, don't look at her young age, but this tailor's craftsmanship is not bad at all, if you want to do some odd jobs at home, it is even more ......."
Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Bai walked down the hall, nodded lightly to Mei Niang, turned around and said to her mother-in-law: "But Sister Fang, you also know that a few days ago, my Bai Ze kid just accepted a concubine, and I was originally strongly opposed, but thinking that I am getting older and older, and the child should also be taken care of by someone, so I agreed, today you brought a woman of this age, how did my City Lord's Mansion accept it?" After speaking, a hand stretched out and patted Fang Po's hand and sighed.
Fang Po smiled: "I also know about this, but I heard that there is a kid in the City Lord's Mansion, whose name is Nick, the one adopted by the White City Lord in the early years, and today...... It's eighteen. ”
Mrs. Bai thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll call the nick over, if the two of them are a little interesting, let them be, after all, young people, it still depends on themselves." ”
Then he ordered the servants to go to the martial arts training ground and call the nick to come over.
The servant hurriedly ran to the martial arts training ground and shouted, "Young Master Nick, Young Master Nick!"
At this moment, the nick is pinching and ripening the trick.
Holding a pebble in his left hand, he quickly threw it out like a little boy, and then pinched it at that moment, and as soon as the light of his left hand bloomed, an internal force stimulated it, and the pebble flew up.
"Okay!" Bai Yin applauded vigorously beside him, as if he was happier than having done something big.
The nick also lightly faded the frown that had been frowning for a few days, but he was still a little dissatisfied: "It's still far away." ”
"It's already good, this is a pebble, it's not the broken apple core of the little boy, if you let him come, he may not break it." Bai Yin said on the side.
If you use a sword, what kind of power will it have now?
As he was thinking this, he was suddenly interrupted by the servant's voice, and both of them turned their heads at the same time, looking at the servant.
"Is there something wrong?" Bai Yin asked.
The servant calmed down: "Back to the princess, Madame called the young master of Nick to come over." ”
"Call me, what's the matter with me?" Nick was stunned.
"Of course it's a great thing, Young Master Nick!" The servant walked over with a mysterious face, in the past, the nick was very easy to see people in the whole house, and everyone also treated him politely, if Bai Ze was changed, the servant would naturally not be like this.
I saw the servant come over, and the cut also leaned down: "Fang Po is here!
The nick was even more stunned, he naturally knew what Fang Po was doing, and it could also be said that there were few people in the entire Flower Realm City who didn't know what Fang Po was doing, hearing her coming, and then Madam Bai called herself over, that is, the nick was not as good as Bai Ze and understood what was going on.
"What?" a scream startled both the nick and the servant. Neither of them noticed that when the servant came over, Bai Yin also leaned his ears in the back, and the servant's words naturally entered Bai Yin's ears word for word.
"Mrs. Fang is here to match the nick?" Bai Yin's voice raised a few degrees again, looking at the servant.
The servant had obviously never seen Bai Yin like this before, and nodded a little frightened.
grabbed the notched arm and walked towards the lobby angrily.
When they walked to the lobby, the three of them were drinking tea and chatting about something, especially Mrs. Bai, who was smiling a little from ear to ear.
The white voice that formed a strong contrast was a blackened face with anger, and when he walked over, the notched arm was held with a red mark.
When the three of them saw Bai Yin, they were all stunned for a moment, and Granny Fang was the first to speak: "This ...... It's Princess Baiyin...... Really, it's grown so big. ”
"Yes, yes, Sister Fang, the last time you saw her, she was still a child, and she grew into a big girl in a blink of an eye. ”
The two chatted, nicked eyes looked into the distance casually, Bai Yin looked at Mei Niang, Mei Niang looked at nick.
That Mei Niang is also beautiful, if it was an ordinary-looking woman, Bai Yin would not have such great hostility, as if the food in the puppy's own bowl was about to be snatched away.
"Who is she!" Bai Yin asked, pointing at Mei Niang.
"Xiaoyin, don't be rude. Mrs. Bai glanced at Bai Yin with a displeased face, and then asked at the nick: "Nick, this is Granny Fang from the west of the city, I came here today to bring this Miss Mei Niang to talk to you about a matchmaker, just now when you didn't come, I also listened, this Mei Niang is also a child with a hard life, but she is indeed very obedient and sensible, you see ......."
Madame Bai didn't say any more, waiting for the nick's answer.
"Then I listened to the lady. Nick said with a knightly salute.
"I don't agree!" Bai Yin jumped up like a tiger stepping on his tail and shouted, "I don't agree!"
"Bai Yin, what's wrong with your kid today?" Mrs. Bai looked embarrassed, smiled at Fang Po and the others, and looked back at Bai Yin.
"I ...... I don't agree anyway. "The white voice is hesitant.
"What does it matter if you agree or not? Go back to your room! Ah Cai, bring her back!" ordered Madame Bai.
Ah Cai was the servant, and hurriedly came up to pull Bai Yin away, and while walking, Bai Yin shouted: "If you promise you, you will die!"
As soon as Bai Yin left, Mei Niang opened her mouth first: "It seems that Princess Bai Yin has some prejudices against me." ”
Mrs. Bai waved her hand: "Children are not sensible, don't take it to heart." That's right, Mei Niang, I've been interrupted by that girl, this is the nick, although it's not my biological son, but in my heart it's better than a child, although it's a little thinner, but whether it's appearance or quality, it's not picky. ”
"The Nicked Boy is naturally excellent, but I'm afraid that the Nicked Boy won't look down on the little girl. ”
The white lady asked about the nick again, and the nick still replied: "I will listen to the lady." ”
But I didn't look at Mei Niang from beginning to end.
Mei Niang saw everything in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, and the Fang Po laughed and said: "That's really good, since Lang has a concubine, choose a good day and do it." After saying that, he couldn't stop laughing happily.
"It's okay......" Madame Bai had just spoken, but she was interrupted by a nick.
"Ma'am, Nick has a request. After seeing Madame Bai's nod, Nick continued: "In less than a month, it will be the day of my white knight's assessment, please let me participate in this assessment, and then everything will be arranged by Madame." ”
Madam Bai bowed her head and said: "Well, you are going to participate in this white-clothed knight's assessment, I believe that this is not only your dream, but also the city lord and your biological father." ”
Mei Niang hurriedly said on the side: "Then listen to the carved son, I can do some maid work in the City Lord's Mansion first, so that I can take care of the son, and by the way, I can also get familiar with this place." ”
Madame Bai said with a smile: "The nick is the young master of my City Lord's Mansion, you are the future wife of the young master of the City Lord's Mansion, how can I let you do these rough work, you can live here for a few days, after the nick assessment, you will choose a good day, and our City Lord's Mansion will hold a big one." ”
Fang Po was very happy when she left, and she was still holding a box of tea given by Mrs. Bai in her hand.
Mei Niang was arranged to live in the nicked side room, although Madame Bai had already said it, but she still worked with the maids and servants every day, washing and cooking, and was busy sweating profusely.
Bai Yin, since that day, has been hiding in the house, and there is no one to see when eating, and the servants bring the food in, and they also ask to put it in front of the door, but every time the servants go again, they find that the food plate is empty, which makes Madame Bai smile bitterly.
