Bai Qiao was silent for a long time after listening to it.

It turned out that the Bai family moved to Gangneung Mansion in this way. No wonder the Bai family in Xia Shuang's words was once extremely prosperous. The old lady of the Bai family died, the Bai family fell, and there was only the big room among the three rooms, that is, Bai Qiao's father Bai Shiye got an official position. This official position is also a few layers. Ning Yuan bowed to the officers of Wupin and said that he was a general, but in fact, he was not as high as the official position of the Jiangling Mansion Yatongzhi. Wu is not as good as Wen, and General Ning Yuan is actually just about the same as Zheng Liupin's judgment. General Ning Yuan's Mansion was far less powerful than it sounded like. With the death of the first prince, it is not easy for the Bai family to gain power again.

Mrs. Bai fell ill several times because of the death of Mrs. Bai, and she almost died every time, so she stayed in Shangjing to recuperate after the imperial court. The second and third rooms have no official positions and stay to serve Mrs. Bai, so over the years, the big house has to pack some and send it to Mrs. Bai in Shangjing, and life is not good. The only thing that can be compensated is that you can collect some money after the frontier conquest breaks the enemy city.

"My father might have to visit my grandmother, and it would be a month before I came back. He doesn't know the news of your return yet, but he must be happy to know it. Bai Zhang explained.

Bai Qiao nodded. Whether her father was happy or not that she was back, she could not guess.

"It's good that you know about this matter, it's been a long time, and it's not something that can't be discussed." No matter how horrified it was back then, nine years have passed now, and the time is long, and the imperial court can't keep everyone's mouth shut.

"Hmm." Bai Qiao nodded.

"How about the venison you just tasted?" The topic was too heavy, and Bai Zhang leaned back in his chair and threw a peanut into his mouth.

Bai Qiao also peeled a peanut and tasted it: "The venison is not bad." ”

"Then I'll let Wang Yang line up again!"

"The eldest son!" Wang Yang shouted in a low voice when he heard this. He's a waiter! followed the eldest prince to kill the enemy on the battlefield, how did he come back and become a domestic servant queuing up to buy stones?

"Go early tomorrow and buy it before noon!"

Wang Yang pursed his lips and said, "Yes, eldest prince!" ”

It was getting late, and Bai Zhang said a few words and left.

Xia Shuang turned on the lamp, and the room lit up.

It's okay to eat enough, and the wind at night is more comfortable, Bai Qiao asked people to set a small table in the courtyard, moved the rocking chair out, and sat in the courtyard to rest with his eyes closed.

A few maids sent by the Zhao family lit up the lanterns under the courtyard porch. The breeze is very pleasant with the lanterns.

The mosquitoes in this small courtyard were barely visible, and Bai Qiao thought it had something to do with the wormwood planted under the trees in the courtyard.

Red maple and red cotton have already gone back because they have a family. Qiu Yue came out with a plate of ice cheese in the kitchen: "Miss, how about you try what the maid does?" ”

Except for a few trips during the day, it was still very comfortable here. Bai Qiao was lying down, and Xia Shuang was also walking around the courtyard to have a look. Qiu Yue even asked the kitchen for something and started making snacks.

Bai Qiao got up when he heard this, pinched a piece in the plate and tasted it, it was full of milky aroma, slightly sweet and cold, very delicious.

"Come and try it, too." Bai Qiao motioned to Xia Shuang and clear water, and the two of them immediately came over with a smile.

Bishui was greedy, tasted a piece first, smashed his mouth, and said awkwardly: "I haven't seen you do this before." ”

Qiu Yuezhi didn't feel anything, and she tasted it herself: "In his position, I used to be Mrs. Su's person." It's different now, I'm a young lady! ”

"Qiu Yue is always so reasonable!" Bishui pouted and looked at Bai Qiao.

Bai Qiao didn't think there was anything, there was nothing wrong with what Qiu Yue said.

Xia Shuang laughed vigorously and didn't speak.

Bishui Xu is the reason why the Su family has never been taught and ignored, and he is more willful than these maids.

A few people talked and laughed, and the people sent by the Zhao family were respectfully in the courtyard. One of the six mothers-in-law quietly went out of the courtyard and went to Mrs. Bai's Zhao.

Bai Qiao is coming home, he is not afraid of being watched, and he is not afraid of anything, so Zhao asked people to come and see, just watch.

Early the next morning, Bai Qiao washed up and had breakfast and went to Zhao's to ask for peace. Yu Yuli has left the Bai family for so many years, and he will greet him when he returns.

Xia Shuang was more clever than Qiu Yue, and Bai Qiao only took her. Because I didn't know the Bai family's road, I sent a maid to lead the way.

Mrs. Bai Zhao lives in the main courtyard of Bai Mansion, which is the best location in Bai Mansion, next to the garden, leading the lake water into the courtyard, and raising goldfish in the water.

As soon as she approached the main courtyard, a mother-in-law saw it and hurriedly went to tell Mama Zhao. Mama Zhao greeted her.

"The old slave greets the eldest lady."

"This is Mama Zhao, who is in charge of the lady's hospital." There is a maid to introduce.

"Mama Zhao." Bai Qiao nodded.

Mama Zhao hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to help Bai Qiao: "The eldest lady has tormented the old slave, the lady has already gotten up and is in the house, and the old slave will take you there." ”

"I'm tired of Mama."

"Don't be it, the eldest lady is too polite." Mama Zhao smiled on her face, and her eyes looked at Bai Qiao carefully. This eldest lady is wearing a water-red skirt today, with a coral head, and she looks steady and pretty. In the end, she is three years older than the second lady, her appearance has grown, and her temperament is more mature. It doesn't look like it's a wasted person.

"Madam, the eldest lady is here!" As soon as she arrived outside the house, Mama Zhao spoke up.

Zhao had just finished breakfast when he heard the words and got up.

"Big sister is here, let me take a closer look!" Before the sound came, it came out.

When Bai Qiao stood in the hall, he saw a noble lady come out from behind the screen embroidered with magnificent pictures of mountains and rivers. Xu is because he is a military general, and there are few flowers and plants in the house, and most of the screens are mountains and rivers. Zhao Shi wore a fuchsia cardigan dress, and when he saw Bai Qiao, he walked over enthusiastically, and held Bai Qiao's hand in his hands.

"I've been out for all these years, and I slept well last night? I think you're tired all the way, and I didn't bother you yesterday. Zhao's smile was soft, and his eyes turned red as he spoke: "Look at me!" The older I get, the more angry I become, it's a good thing for our family that the eldest sister is back, I can't say how good it is to be happy! ”

"Madame is crying with joy!" Mama Zhao took out a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm so happy! Yanluo, go and tell the kitchen, make something good at noon today, I, as a mother, will pick up the wind for my eldest sister! Zhao commanded as he spoke.

Yanluo belched and ran out with a smile.

"When the eldest sister left, she was still a child. I didn't expect it to be so big now, and I didn't even dare to admit it when I saw it yesterday! Zhao pulled Bai Qiao to sit down, and Grandma Sun immediately brought two teas.

Xia Shuang was now behind Bai Qiao, and said with a smile: "Madame misses Miss, why doesn't Miss miss Madame?" I also always think that my wife can be fine. ”

Zhao's smile widened. looked at Bai Qiao, and saw Bai Qiao hanging her head slightly, just when she was not good at words, she was more satisfied at the moment.
