Chapter Twenty-Four: Currying Favor with the Bai Family
After Bai Yanran came in, she glanced at Mother Sun coldly, Mother Sun was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she immediately died down.
Bai Yanran stepped forward to personally help the Tang family, and said apologetically: "Your majesty is not strict, so my aunt has been wronged." ”
Tang's cheeks were already burning hotly at the moment, although she was just a concubine, but Bai Yanran was a junior in the end, she uncomfortably stretched out her hand to cover her face and tilted her head.
"Second Miss, this is a concubine."
Bai Yanran let her sit down under the Yang family, and the Yang family put away the lively mind and looked at the second lady quietly.
Bai Yanran comforted the Tang family, turned around and slapped Mother Sun in the face. Mother Sun was stunned and sat on the ground unable to come back to her senses. Then she stepped forward and stood behind Qi's family, looked at Mother Sun, who was still on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Mother is really confused, what are such self-made people who don't know the rules still staying?" It's better to get out early, and save yourself from causing trouble for your mother. ”
Qi Shi was embarrassed: "This ......"
Bai Yanran's hand on her shoulder was gently pinched, although Qi was puzzled, but he also said: "Just now, I just wanted to reprimand two sentences to establish rules, and it was Mother Sun who made her own opinion." ”
Mother Sun's eyes widened when she heard this, and she immediately knelt down at the Qi family and cried: "Madam, the old slave wants to stand up for you because he is loyal to you, you can't be loyal and treacherous!" ”
Mother Sun is the cronie of the Qi family who came to marry, the Qi family couldn't help but feel distressed, and just wanted to speak, but Bai Yanran preemptively said: "What is loyalty?" What is adultery? It is for the sake of loyalty to share the worries and solve problems for the master, and if you do not distinguish between right and wrong, you are traitorous. Before Fang Cai's mother spoke, you dared to act on your behalf, why, is it true that your Bai family is in charge of one of your subordinates? ”
As soon as these words came out, Qi also felt that this mother Sun was indeed too powerful, and she dared to beat her aunt before her master spoke, it seemed that she was too used to her.
Mother Sun was immediately frightened when she was buttoned down by such a big hat, kowtowed to Qi's like pounding garlic, and couldn't stop saying: "The old slave doesn't dare, Fang is the old slave who was confused for a while, and asked Mrs. Nian to spare the old slave this time on the love that the old slave has followed for many years." ”
Although Qi Shi looks strong, he is a soft-hearted person, and in the end he still thinks about the past, and he is embarrassed: "Since this is the case, then ......"
Bai Yanran cut off her words again, and said coldly: "Then punish you to go to the courtyard and kneel for two hours, and remind the people in the house that there is no rule for the people in the province to rely on Mrs. Xin's kindness." ”
Mother Sun looked at the Qi family for help, she relied on the cronies who were married by her wife, and she was the most face-saving among the subordinates. If she knelt in the courtyard today, how could she raise her head in front of those girls in the future.
Qi understood that his daughter was determined to teach Mother Sun a lesson, so she was indifferent with a cold face.
Bai Yanran said coldly: "What, do you want me to ask someone to pull you out?" ”
Seeing this, Mother Sun had to go out slowly. She walked to the middle of the courtyard, gritted her teeth and knelt down reluctantly, with a bright red palm print on her face, and others knew what was going on when they saw it.
Although the girls around were busy with the work in their hands, their eyes looked over intentionally or unintentionally, and they had to point and discuss. Mother Sun only felt panicked, and she didn't even dare to raise her head, but she felt that everyone else must be laughing at herself, and this old face was lost.
Seeing Mother Sun's appearance, the resentment in Tang's heart finally dissipated.
Qi Shi said: "Madame is not a harsh person, but it is a rule to ask for peace every day, so you should keep your duty well, otherwise don't blame me for not being able to tolerate you." Alright, let's all disperse today. ”
After the two left, Qi took his daughter's hand and said, "Mother knows what you mean, but this Tang clan does have some means, but I am afraid that it will be restless after a long time." ”
Bai Yanran persuaded: "Mother, no matter what means you have, it's just a concubine." The Zhao family was unscrupulous in the past, but it relied on the support of his father and grandmother, and the deeds of the Tang family and the Yang family were in the hands of his grandmother.
At the beginning, my grandmother didn't give you the deed, because she was afraid that these two people would have the idea of leaving the deed. Now this deed is in the hands of my grandmother, and even my father can't ask for it. As long as you pinch their deeds, you are not afraid that they will turn the sky upside down. ”
Seeing that the Qi family was still mindful, Bai Yanran said with a straight face: "The mother is the lady of the main room, naturally she has to discipline the concubine's room, as long as she pinchs the rules, she doesn't have to be soft, but she can't be too harsh, and she can only be subdued by both grace and power." ”
Qi nodded and said, "It's my mother who is confused, but fortunately, you are by your side to mention it." ”
Bai Yanran thought of Mother Sun, and her eyes couldn't help but turn cold.
"These things should have been planned by the people around your mother's relatives for you, but not only can Mother Sun not be able to help you share them, but this kind of temperament will also be bad, and my mother will not be able to let her in the future."
Although it is different from the previous life now, Bai Yanran will definitely not let the Qi family fall into the predicament of the previous life again, but she can't take Mother Sun, a traitor in the previous life, lightly. In her previous life, she was able to rebel against the Qi clan when she was in trouble, which is enough to see her character, and she is not a reliable person.
As the saying goes, if you are unfaithful once, you don't use it a hundred times, and you must not leave this person with your mother. But Bai Yanran knew that the Qi family trusted Sun's mother, so this matter needed to be done slowly.
There was Bai Yanran who made people stare at her, and Mother Sun knelt firmly for two hours before she dared to get up, and limped back to Qi's side on an errand. Seeing her like this, Qi Shi promised that she didn't have to be on an errand today, and let her go back to rest.
It's just that Mother Sun is not popular on weekdays, and when she returned to the house, she was ridiculed by other people's insinuating good students, and hid in the garden to cry angrily, just in time to bump into Bai Yueyu, who was very worried.
Bai Yueyu was already upset, and when she saw that this embarrassed appearance was actually Mama Sun, who was the most powerful person next to Madame, she couldn't help but wonder: "Mama Sun, what's wrong?" ”
Mother Sun lowered her head in embarrassment and wanted to cover up, and replied vaguely: "The eldest lady doesn't have to be nosy, it's just that the old slave didn't do a good job." ”
The girl next to Bai Yueyu came to her ear and said the gossip she heard in the morning, Bai Yueyu rolled her eyes when she heard it, and then said indignantly: "How can I say that Mother Sun is also an old man next to Mrs., and Mrs. is so disregarding the old feelings, it is really chilling." ”
Mother Sun naturally knew that Bai Yueyu was sowing discord, so she didn't say a word. Bai Yueyu saw that she didn't refute, and continued: "Mother Sun has ended up like this with her wife for many years, I'm afraid that the future will be even more difficult." ”
These words reached Mother Sun's heart, and she couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "The old slave is single-minded, but the young lady and Mrs. are helping outsiders, and the old slave is really wronged to death......"
Bai Yueyu was overjoyed, stepped forward and took Mother Sun's hand and said affectionately: "Mother Sun is Mrs. Sun's marriage, and she can't see any good food and clothing on weekdays, but Mother Sun is still so loyal, even I can't look at it." ”
As she spoke, she put a jade bracelet on her wrist on her mother, and her mother looked straight at it. Since the Qi family married into the Bai Mansion to take charge of the middle feed, they have always used their dowry to subsidize the mansion, where has they rewarded their subordinates so generously.
Although this jade bracelet is not a rare good thing, it is worth more than a dozen taels of silver, which is not a small amount for a subordinate like Mother Sun. Although Mother Sun felt that she shouldn't take Bai Yueyu's things, she hesitated for a long time and was still reluctant to take them off again.
Although Chunhua Courtyard and Huixin Courtyard have been calm recently, Bai Yanran will not take Aunt Zhao and Bai Yueyu lightly.
Song Shiyang went to Yanbei for disaster relief, but his mother Bai happened to arrive in Beijing a few days ago. The Qi family began to get busy in the first few days, after all, now this Bai family is not only the Miss Bai family who goes back and forth to her mother's house, but also Bai Yanran's mother-in-law, so the Qi family naturally has to pay more attention.
Bai's carriage arrived in the capital early this morning, rested in the Song Mansion for a while, and arrived at the Bai Mansion in the afternoon, and it was a harmonious and happy faction.
Qi asked people to prepare a large table of dishes and greeted them warmly. Bai Shi seemed a little restrained, she had been looking at people in Jingzhou for so many years, and she was struggling to survive, but now her identity suddenly rose, and she was still a little uncomfortable for a while.
After eating, the Qi family asked the Bai family to stay in the mansion for the night, and the Bai family couldn't help but feel very emotional when he returned home after many years, so he walked around the house by himself. When I passed by Chunhua Courtyard, I suddenly heard a piano sound from inside, which was my favorite song, and I unconsciously approached and stopped to listen.
After playing the song, Bai Yueyu was surprised and said, "Auntie? ”
Bai took a closer look, and it turned out to be his brother's concubine. She had also seen Bai Yueyu at the dinner table before. But at that time, she only looked at Bai Yanran, and saw that her brother and sister-in-law didn't seem to like this girl, so she didn't care.
Looking at it again at this moment, although this girl is a concubine, she looks very knowledgeable, looks good with Yan'er, and plays the piano well, and can't help but feel good.
Bai Yueyu looked ashamed and said, "Yu'er's piano skills are not good, which makes my aunt smile." ”
Bai Shi smiled: "It's rare for you to have such skills at a young age, how can my aunt laugh at you." ”
Bai Yueyu said cautiously when she heard this: "I heard that my aunt plays a good piano, I wonder if I can give Yu'er some pointers?" To tell the truth, Xiao Niang is now unhappy because she is pregnant, and Yu'er thinks that if there is a soothing sound of the piano, Xiao Niang can feel better. ”
Seeing Bai Yueyu's adorable appearance, Bai, who was also a concubine, immediately felt sympathy, and said lovingly: "You are so filial, if your little lady knows, she will be pleased." ”
Then the two stayed in Chunhua Courtyard in the afternoon, the Bai family was a simple character, and Bai Yueyu was used to flattering people, so she soon coaxed the Bai family to be close. When she left, she specially asked her to come to the Song Mansion as a guest, Bai Yueyu was ecstatic in her heart, but she looked embarrassed on her face.
"Forget it, my cousin and my sister have a marriage contract, and in the future, my sister will marry and become a family with my aunt. But my wife and sister have always disliked me, and my sister had lost her temper when my cousin and I got closer, and I still didn't trouble my aunt and cousin. ”
