Chapter 138. How long is it?
The prince had just walked for less than half an hour when another carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Bai family.
"Uncle, you're back." , the little man who guarded the door bowed and stepped forward quickly.
"What happened in the house today?" , Uncle Bai asked in a deep groan as he walked towards the door.
Because today is the opening of the dynasty, Uncle Bai has already gone out before dawn.
After going to the court, he planned to take leave and return home directly. Yesterday he was entangled in official business to return late, and when he returned home, his wife and two sons and a daughter had already fried the pot in Anping Courtyard, he was so anxious that he wanted to rush to Anping Town on the spot, but he was afraid of passing by them halfway, so they rushed back overnight, and fortunately, it seemed that neither his wife nor his children seemed to have made much mistake except for the tiredness of their faces. But yesterday was too late, and even if there were many questions to ask, they were all temporarily suppressed, and we had to wait until the next day to get to the bottom of it.
But plans never keep up with change.
After the next court, Uncle Bai was just about to get into the carriage home, but he was pulled back by his subordinate officials, and it was actually the affairs he handled yesterday that went wrong again, but he had to do it!!
"Whatever you want, you can say it, and say what you hear."
Uncle Bai frowned, looking at this familiar but unnamed Dao.
The little guy shuddered, and the whole person seemed a little shrunken. "Uncle...... This prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed, yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed. ”
This answer surprised Uncle Bai, why he didn't know in advance when the prince visited, and no one had even informed him!
Thinking of this, his brow tightened more and more unconsciously.
"What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doing? What time did it come? Do you know why? ”
"Already...... It's been gone, it's been half an hour......", the little guy hung his head, trembling as he picked it up, and felt that he could not make a mistake if he said it.
But who knows, the next moment, a strong force that suddenly appeared on him made him fall to the ground involuntarily.
"Chickens and ducks! Cover-up! Cursing mingled with footsteps.
By the time the little guy reacted from the whirlwind, Uncle Bai had already led people out of the distance, and the little guy got up from the ground resignedly, and then patted the dust on his body.
A lowly slave like him often says that it is wrong, and it is wrong not to say it, as if he was born to suffer, but the funny thing is that his situation is actually much better than that of most people in this world.
The little guy shook his head, and then slowly moved back to his position on duty, although there are also people like Jingda Butler, who started from the end of the world, but not everyone can become Jingda Butler......
…
Uncle Bai hurried all the way to Zhining Courtyard.
Yan's mother was very embarrassed to stop Uncle Bai, facing her real master, Yan's mother's old face looked a little embarrassed, even if she knew that the eldest lady was deliberate, but what could she do, she was just an old slave, she couldn't disobey.
"Uncle, this ...... This lady and the twelfth young lady, as well as the sixth young master, were having dinner, and the eldest lady specially instructed the old slave not to let anyone in. ”
Uncle Bai paused, his eyes were resentful, and he said word by word, "Am I anyone!" ”
"Elsewhere, I don't dare to say, but this Zhining Courtyard, if I hadn't been so old that I was delirious, I wouldn't remember that it was her Zhong family alone! You tell me, up and down the Zhining Courtyard, is there any place I can't enter! ”
Suddenly, Yan's mother felt as if she was stuck in a mouthful of phlegm in her throat and eyes, and she was in a dilemma.
"Old slave...... The old slave just did what the eldest lady ordered......"
Mother Yan shrank as she spoke, and unconsciously took two steps back, she couldn't help but listen to the words of the eldest lady, but how could the uncle be a rebellious person for her?
The movement outside the door was not small, and although the mother and son dining inside the door didn't hear it too well, they could still easily hear who was arguing outside the door.
The eldest lady swept her eyes softly over her pair of children, and then said softly, "Have you two eaten enough?" ”
Bai Xianyu nodded hurriedly, she was actually relatively unfamiliar with her father, in the memories she could remember, her father had always been alienated, serious, and stern, and now when she heard her father's angry roar, she had no heart to eat for a long time.
On the contrary, it was Bai Jiyuan, who was reluctant to give up at the moment. He hadn't come to Zhining Courtyard to dine for a while, and he knew that Zhining Courtyard's current meal was also a big kitchen in the front yard, but how could this dish, this taste, be so different from what he usually used in his own courtyard! Aren't they all dishes made from the big kitchen! Fortunately, despite his reluctance, Bai Jiyuan has also been afraid of his father since he was a child, and after hesitating, Bai Jiyuan also nodded.
Knowing the son Mo Ruomu.
However, even though the eldest lady could see the thoughts of the children at a glance, she still pretended not to know and said, "Since you are full, let's get off the table, just let my mother and your father use some together, and my mother has something to discuss with your father, I am afraid that you will be bored listening to it, so it is better to go and play by yourself." ”
Bai Jiyuan, Bai Xianyu brother and sister immediately stepped out of the back door.
And at this moment, Uncle Bai had already walked to the table, and just now he could see the backs of the brother and sister turning away.
I wanted to call them out, but when the words came to my mouth, I still swallowed them raw, and I had to admit that at this time, he was afraid of angering the Zhong family......
"Uncle, do you want to use some with me? The food prepared in the big kitchen today is quite innovative and delicious. The eldest lady asked nonchalantly, without even giving Uncle Bai a look.
"Hmph", Uncle Bai let out a cold snort from his nose.
The eldest lady clenched the handkerchief in her hand, ready to deal with her husband's seizure at any time.
But he didn't want to, so Uncle Bai immediately sat down directly opposite her.
"Don't even add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, are you planning to embarrass your husband, madam?"
But who knows, as soon as Uncle Bai's words fell, a brand new pair of dishes and chopsticks appeared in front of him, and it was the indigo that was deliberately dropped by Bai Xianyu who arranged the dishes and chopsticks.
The eldest lady nodded to Indigo with satisfaction, and then turned her head to look at her husband, who was pale.
"What's embarrassing? Uncle is afraid that he is too worried, just a pair of dishes and chopsticks. But even if it's just a pair of dishes and chopsticks, it takes time to arrange, it's impossible for you to immediately prepare the uncle's dishes and chopsticks when you just step in, after all, the uncle has not eaten in Zhining Courtyard for many years, and I am not used to preparing your dishes and chopsticks all the time......"
Uncle Bai snorted coldly again, and looked at his wife who had been with him for almost thirty years.
Sometimes he felt that he was indeed sorry for his wife, but more often, like now, he felt that she was becoming more and more unreasonable!
"I'm not here to play dumb riddles with you, I'm just asking you, how long do you want to make trouble?!"
