3. The Bai family

"Lady Quan," the woman standing in front of the carriage was dressed in brocade, dressed in a decent and unruly manner, and the hand stretched out was plump and white, and a jade bracelet on it was even more transparent.

Quan Rou put her hand on the man's hand, stepped on the soft stool and got down, and softly greeted the other party, "Mama Wu." ”

Mama Wu is serving by Mrs. Bai's side, and she is also half the master in the Bai family, and the juniors have to salute and say goodbye when they see each other on weekdays.

When she saw Quan Rou, the smile in her eyes did not decrease, "The old lady has been looking forward to the girl coming, so she let the old slave follow here early in the morning, for fear of snubbing the girl." ”

Judging from Mama Wu's attitude, the Bai family welcomes the arrival of Quan Rou. Quan Rou breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she didn't show anything on her face, and walked in with Mama Wu, followed by two people, Qihua and Qifeng, followed by a string of maids and daughters-in-law of the Bai family.

There are many rules in large households, and there is a saying about what things should be placed in what position. When Quan Rou entered the Half Moon Gate, she noticed the scripture engraved on the door's forehead, she pursed her lips and didn't say much.

Before entering the upper courtyard, the little girl who was guarding the door went in to report the news, "The big girl is here!" ”

Quan Rouhuan was prepared, and when the maid opened the curtain to let her in, she was still shocked by this battle.

At the head of the room sat a kind old lady, needless to say, the old lady white. A middle-aged woman sat on her left and right, on the left she looked lively, on her right she was much quieter, and below her were some people dressed as girls.

They are all the ladies of the Bai family.

"Oh, Rou girl, come here!" When Mrs. Bai saw her, she warmly stretched out her hand to greet her.

Quan Rou pursed her lips and smiled, saluted everyone, and then obediently went to the side of the old lady Bai, and shouted sweetly, "Old lady~"

"You girl, why are you so strange, you were in Yangzhou before, didn't you call me a grandmother? Now that he is called like this, isn't he angry that this old lady of mine concealed it at the beginning and wanted to break up with me? Old Madam Bai pulled Quan Rou to sit beside her, and pointed her finger at Quan Rou's eyebrows.

That feeling of spoiling, as if Quan Rou was her own granddaughter, the people in the room smiled at the same time, and there were a few junior girls, who said that their grandmother would not hurt herself when she saw Quan Rou.

Regardless of sincerity or acting, the Bai family's upper courtyard is now happy. Quan Rou also learned to be coquettish, "Where would Rou'er blame the old lady, but I haven't been out of the cabinet after all." That's what it's called. I'm afraid that others will take it out, and to put it bluntly, the Bai family doesn't pay attention to the rules, and when the time comes, you should blame me! ”

She said, blushing and shy.

The old lady patted her hand with great satisfaction, and said earnestly, "If you call me grandmother in advance, no one can say anything." ”

Quan Rou's cheeks were red, and she didn't speak, looking like a little daughter.

She knew in her heart that Old Madam Bai opened her mouth like this, and the marriage between herself and Bai Yue was already all ready, only owed to Dongfeng. Today's flower banquet is the east wind.

Quan Rou had something in her heart, but on her face was the demeanor of a young daughter, which made the old lady even happier, and pointed to a woman on the right, "Look at me, I patronized and told you, but I forgot to let you know you." This is the second lady, Yue'er's mother. He pointed to the left. This is the Big Lady. ”

Master Bai is a concubine, and the second room is a descendant, so the old lady is introduced like this.

Quan Rou saluted Mrs. Bai, and then raised her eyes to look over, the woman on the right looked calm, and returned Quan Rou with a faint smile, which was not an attitude.

People can sit still, Quan Rou naturally can't, she got up and went to the second lady to salute, "Second lady." ”

Second Mrs. Bai helped her, and then looked at Quan Rou carefully, "It's a beautiful embryo, with the style of Sister Yun,"

Second Mrs. Bai's maiden name is Ming, and she has always been good friends with the Xie family.

However, this is the first time Quan Rou has seen Second Mrs. Bai, and she can't figure out the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, so she dared to make friends in the name of her mother, but she was afraid that she would annoy people, so she just took a handkerchief and dipped the corners of her eyes, looking like she remembered her mother.

"Second daughter-in-law, look at you!" Old Madam Bai reprimanded.

Second Lady Bai hurriedly greeted Quan Rou, "Look at me, when I saw you, I felt that I couldn't take my eyes off it, and I actually mentioned this sad thing......"

Quan Rou was held by her, and only lowered her head and sobbed, "If my mother is still here, I am afraid that I will be happy to see that the second lady is so good now." ”

When Second Lady Bai heard this, her eyes showed a little sadness, and then she was a little more sincere to Quan Rou, "Good boy." ”

Quan Rou lowered her head, she felt a weight on her head, she looked up in some shock, and saw that the golden eagle phoenix hairpin that was originally inserted in the hair bun of Second Lady Bai was gone.

Old Madam Bai nodded with satisfaction, and beckoned to a girl wearing a pink armor embroidered butterfly skirt, "Yuesheng, take your sister Rou around to play, and then go to the table." ”

"Yes, grandmother." Bai Yuesheng responded crisply, and then came over and took Quan Rou, "Sister Rou doesn't have to be restrained today, if you want to do anything, just tell me, I've always been a fun-loving person!" ”

She is the eldest lady of the Bai family and Bai Yue's sister. is one year older than Kwon Yau, and now he has not yet decided on a marriage.

Quan Rou knew that this was to send Bai Yuesheng to take her down, and then their elders could talk about their opinions. Therefore, he did not shirk it, and after holding hands with Bai Yuesheng and saluting several elders in the room, he retreated.

After splitting Quan Rou and a few juniors, the originally lively upper courtyard suddenly became a little cold.

Mrs. Bai drank tea by herself, and her eyes moved from Mrs. Bai to the old lady, and she didn't say a word.

Second Mrs. Bai was cold and couldn't see any emotion.

Only the old lady Bai, the smile on her face was gone, and Mama Wu pressed her head for her, but she couldn't stop the pain. She waved her hand, and Mama Wu led the group of people who were waiting to retreat.

There are now only the three highest-ranking women of the Bai family left in the house.

"Mother, I have always cared about the marriage of my children, and I promised Yue'er that if I want to marry, I have to let him marry a person I like." Xu didn't see anyone speak for a long time, and Second Lady Bai sighed slightly, "Quan Rou, my thoughts are too deep." Besides, the right is ...... that man"

The words stopped here, and Second Lady Bai didn't go deeper. The matter of power is too wide-ranging, and it is difficult to say much now.

But in the end, no one wants to marry a daughter-in-law who is too thoughtful.

Mrs. Bai looked at her nose and nose, her lord was a concubine, and she was also smart, knowing that this was not the time for her to speak, she simply shut up and acted as if she didn't exist.

"This girl's mind is deeper, but her heart is not bad. What she calculates is just to protect her whole family. She is smart and knows what my Bai family wants. Old Madam Bai rubbed her temples herself, "Besides, she saved my wife's life at the beginning, whether it was calculated or coincidental, I have to thank her." ”

"Yes." Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai responded in unison, but their minds were different.

A few days ago, Mrs. Bai went to Yangzhou without concealing her identity, saying that she was visiting relatives, but no one knew what she was doing. I only knew that the old lady's carriage was blocked by the homeless people in the suburbs, and she almost lost her life, and the loss of Quan Rou passed by and rescued the person, and the old lady was raised in Yangzhou for two days, and the Bai family, who was deliberately blocking the news, rushed over overnight.

Is the girl from the right family passing by or ...... Mrs. Bai's heart sank, took a sip of tea, and buried her head lower.

As soon as Second Lady Bai saw the old lady's appearance, she knew that she was afraid that this matter would not be changed today. I can only sigh. It is true that the right family is a better choice now. If Bai Yue doesn't settle down again, those princesses in the palace won't be able to sit still.

The Bai family didn't want to get involved in the royal affairs, so they definitely couldn't let Princess Bai Yueshang go.

The room was silent, and there was no sound of breathing.

The camp grandmother at the door poked her head in, and Second Lady Bai saw it and nodded slightly. The camp grandmother came in along the way, saluted the three people, and whispered, "Old lady, the little marquis is here." ”
