Chapter 36: Servants of the White Mansion
The maid from the outer courtyard came in and said, "Princess, there are many people in Baifu. ”
Bai Churuo frowned, "A lot of people? What are you here for? ”
"The princess's aunt and aunt said that they heard that the palace was recruiting maid housekeepers recently, and as the head of the mother's family, they naturally wanted to support it, so they sent a lot of maids and servants over."
Will Baifu be so kind?
Apparently impossible!
Bai Chu said without thinking about it, "Let them go back wherever they come from, you tell them that our palace has enough manpower." ”
"Yes."
The maid said yes, but she went and came back, and she bowed and said, "Princess, those people are not leaving." ”
Bai Churuo's face was not good, "If you don't leave, you will get rid of them." ”
The little maid was very embarrassed, too. Although the people of Baifu are the subordinates who came, how can they also be her mother's family, and the subordinates of the palace naturally dare not offend.
Bai Churuo had no choice but to get up and go to drive people in person, but she looked at Murong Jiuqing, "Let's go, take you to join in the fun." ”
When Murong Jiuqing heard this, he was unusual, "I'm not going!" ”
“???” Bai Churuo thought that he would be very happy, but he didn't expect this guy to play cards according to common sense.
"I don't like to join in the fun." Murong Jiuqing got up and went back to the house after speaking.
Bai Churuo had no choice but to say, "If you don't go, don't get angry later, and don't say that I won't take you out to play in the future, it's your own departure." ”
Murong Jiuqing ignored her.
Bai Churuo took people to the front hall of the outer courtyard.
Tie Niu and the three brothers surnamed Chang naturally came with the rest of the family servants.
The outer courtyard of the palace was indeed gathered by a lot of maids sent by the Bai family, and there were no less than twenty people at a glance.
As soon as Bai Chu came, those servants and maids saluted, "Hello Miss." ”
"What eldest lady, it should be called the princess now, don't you use your brains when you speak? Shouting! One of the servants said.
Bai Churuo looked at her, and said to the group of servants, "You can go back, the palace will not accept maids and servants." ”
"However, the eldest lady said let us come, and we can't go back." The servant continued.
"The eldest lady's hand is really long, and she has to intervene in the affairs of my palace." Bai Churuo said angrily.
"Don't be angry, princess, this is also for the good of the princess."
Bai Churuo glanced at her, about thirty or forty years old, she vaguely remembered that she was the mother-in-law in charge of the Bai family's back kitchen, "You are the mother-in-law of the prince, right?" ”
"Yes, the princess still remembers the slave maid." Mrs. Wang said.
"Of course I remember, when I was still in the house in those years, it was you who took the lead in deducting the profits in my small courtyard every time, and it was you who made our mother and son not have enough food and clothing in the cold winter and the moon, how could I not remember?" Bai Churuo asked hatefully.
"Slave, slave, why don't you remember." Mrs. Wang said.
Bai Churuo sneered, "You're not old yet, so your memory is so bad?" How can you take charge of the affairs of my palace? ”
Mrs. Wang wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, she couldn't help but glance at Bai Churuo, but after looking at it, she didn't dare to say anything more, this Bai Churuo in front of her was different from the previous one, even if she was angry before, she dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and now this one is not easy to mess with at a glance, and the cold and resoluteness in her eyes revealed in her bones.
Mrs. Wang was speechless, "This ......"
"If you take these people back, you will say that my palace has a tight monthly budget and can't afford to support these minions." Bai Churuo's cold tone changed, and he said fiercely, "If you don't leave by yourself, I don't mind tying you up and sending you back." ”
"Princess, are you okay like this? After all, our two families are still a family, right? If you do this, others will laugh at the palace and the white mansion in the future! Mrs. Wang said tremblingly, God knows how afraid she was of the princess in front of her, Bai Churuo, but she still had to say these words, because those masters of the Bai Mansion were not easy to mess with.
"Jokes? Is Baifu still afraid of jokes? The two-room dove occupies the magpie's nest, who doesn't know who doesn't know in the capital? Is that Baifu the home of the second uncle and the second lady? Are you not clear in your hearts? Bai Churuo said angrily, "You guys get out of here immediately!" Or I'll kill you!" If you insist on squeezing in, you can do that! I'll let you walk around without eating! ”
If Bai Chu's momentum was too great, the princess trembled, for fear that she would find someone to beat them up in the next moment.
Bai Churuo snorted coldly and threw his sleeves away.
Mrs. Wang hesitated for a while, but still took someone away, if not for anything else, she was afraid of death.
Bai Churuo returned to the backyard, and Peony quickly poured her a glass of water, "Don't be angry, eldest lady." ”
Bai Churuo drank the water and said, "I'm not angry, can I not be angry?" ”
"Don't be angry, we'll try to have as little contact with them as possible in the future." Peony said comfortingly.
"Is it possible? Mother and brother are still in their hands! Bai Churuo has not found the whereabouts of his mother and younger brother until now.
"The capital is so big, it's normal to not be able to find it for a while." Peony said.
When Bai Churuo heard this, he sighed, "I don't know why they didn't contact their mother." ”
"Could it be that the eldest lady Qin said that our lady is in the capital, is it false?" Peony asked.
"No, it won't." Bai Churuo said, "...... But I don't know what they're paying attention to, so I'm going to start preparing. ”
"Prepare what?" Peony asked suspiciously.
"I'm ready to make money, and there will be more places to use money in the future." Bai Churuo said.
"Are you asking for money?" Murong Jiuqing didn't know when he ran into the courtyard, and looked at her not far from the door and asked.
"yes." Bai Churuo said, "What, is it possible that you are rich?" ”
"I don't have any money!" Murong Jiuqing said stupidly.
Bai Churuo rolled his eyes, "You still ask if you don't have any money." ”
"There are many boxes of gold ingots in the backyard, which were left by my father and mother." Murong Jiuqing said bluntly, "I remember that my mother said that an ingots can be exchanged for a lot of money, and the concubine also said it." ”
“!!!!!!!” Bai Churuo's eyes widened in surprise, she immediately got up, the first thing was to look around, and found that there were no other servants and maids in and out except for Peony and Xiaolan, so she told Xiaolan and Peony, "What the prince said, don't leak half a word." ”
"Yes!" Peony and Xiaolan replied seriously.
As soon as the words fell, Bai Churuo strode over and pulled Murong Jiuqing into the room.
Murong Jiuqing said unhappily, "You stupid woman, what do you want to do?" ”
"You're stupid!" Bai Churuo roared lightly, "Don't you know that money is not exposed? You idiot! What if someone else finds out about stealing your gold after you say it? ”
"Steal it, steal it, no one knows where it is anyway, I'm the only one who knows." Murong Jiuqing said stupidly.
"My mother! You just said that, and now there are four people who know. Bai Churuo said angrily.
