Chapter 3 Inquiry

Stewed crab roe, flower basket osmanthus fish, tomato sauce fish rolls, stuffed tofu plus a bowl of shredded pork porridge for one person. The white glutinous porridge hides thin shredded meat, and a pinch of emerald green fine green onions, which is fragrant and delicate and beautiful. Bai Qiao was really hungry, and quickly ate a bowl of shredded porridge.

Eating without saying a word, Su Yufang didn't know how many eyes of disdain she threw at a meal, and Bi Tao's heart jumped when she saw it, and she pulled Bai Qiao's clothes several times, and Bai Qiao put down the dishes and chopsticks to wipe the corners of her mouth.

"The porridge is delicious, I'm tired of Sister Qi."

"It's all a family, what are you talking about? Just tell me what you don't have over there, and you're welcome. Su Yuqi smiled gently, but there was some indescribable feeling in her heart. Bai Qiao seemed to be a little different from before. But what is the difference, Su Yuqi can't say. It's still very polite and polite, but it's just different.

Bai Qiao nodded in response.

Su Yuqi glanced at Shuang'er again, and Shuang'er immediately took out two sachets. The brocade satin is embroidered with delicate orchids, which exude a faint medicinal fragrance.

"My sister hasn't rested well, so I won't leave Sister Qiao, hurry up and go back to sleep."

As soon as she came out of Su Yuqi's Qingfeng Residence, Bi Tao let out a long breath, and pressed her little hand on her chest, "I'm scared to death!" ”

The person in the sight completely lost his back, and Su Yuqi turned around.

Su Yufang couldn't help it for a long time, and pressed her chopsticks on the table, "Sister Qi!" Why do you treat her like that? ”

Su Yuqi glanced at Su Yushan, who had been sitting next to her silently. Sister Shan is the sister of the third room, "My mother has sent a letter to Jiangling Mansion, let's see what the Bai family means." ”

"Qianjiang is not far from Jiangling Mansion, but it takes a few days to go back and forth." Su Yushan said.

"If the Bai family intends to take it back, they won't be fostered in our house for seven years!" Su Yufang gritted her teeth with hatred, "Aunt and Sister Qi also have too many hearts." ”

"Don't ignore Sister Qiao'er's status, Sister Qiao is a concubine or a senior. The Bai family didn't determine their attitude for a day, so it's hard to say about it. ”

Su Yufang couldn't listen to these words, what if she was a grandson or a long-term leader? Since the death of the old lady Bai, the Bai family is not the same as before. Mrs. Bai is deceased, and her mother's family has become an enmity with the Bai family, and she doesn't ask about the Bai family anymore. Uncle Bai's official body was killed on the battlefield, but Mrs. Bai's life was not good, and Master Bai had just won General Ning Yuan, and Mrs. Bai died. Later, Master Bai married the current Mrs. Bai, and her mother's family was an official from the fourth grade, and Bai Qiao's identity became more and more embarrassing. After two years, a Taoist priest passed by Bai's house to ask for a drink, happened to see Bai Qiao, shouted and said to Bai Master I don't know what to say, it didn't take long for Bai Qiao to be sent to the Su family, this stay is seven years. If you want to say that there is nothing wrong here, Su Yufang will not believe it!

Su Yuqi was not like Su Yufang, so she sent Su Yushan and Su Yufang away, and hurriedly went to Mrs. Su. Something really wasn't quite right today.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Su Yuqi saw Mama Feng beside Mrs. Su: "Is my mother in it?" ”

"Big girl, big lady is looking at the accounts inside." Mama Feng nodded, and opened the curtain for Su Yuqi as she spoke.

I bypassed the screen and entered the inner room.

"In a hurry, what does it look like?" Just by listening to the voice, Mrs. Su knew who was coming.

"Mother, do you know if there was a thunderstorm in Nanchuan in the twelfth year of Chonghe, and hundreds of people died?"

Mrs. Su raised her head and glanced at Su Yuqi, her brows furrowed: "Where?" Nanchuan? Over there in Qianzhong, or in the period of the first emperor? Never heard of it. ”

"It was Sister Qiao who said it, Sister Fang said that Sister Qiao was ominous, Sister Qiao actually said that there have been thunders since ancient times, and gave an example. I don't look like it's nonsense. ”

Mrs. Su stopped what she was doing and deducted the account book: "Sister Qiao was sent to our house at the age of six, and she has been fostered in our house for seven years, you all know what Mr. has taught, how can she know this?" Let's talk nonsense. ”

"Hasn't Mother heard of it?"

"Nope."

Cui'er brought two cups of tea and put them on the table. Mrs. Su got up, and Su Yuqi hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Mrs. Su took advantage of the situation to hold Su Yuqi's wrist and calmed down: "You don't care about other people's affairs, learn to manage the accounts more, and when you get married, you can take care of it." ”

When it came to getting married, Su Yuqi blushed all of a sudden, and the weirdness in her heart was also suppressed. It's really as her mother said, it's Sister Qiao'er who is talking nonsense, how could she know about this kind of thing?

..........

The next day, Bai Qiao did not go out.

Didn't go out on the third day.

The rice delivered from the kitchen was only a plate of fried vegetables and a bowl of rice at each meal, and there was no meat at all. Bai Qiao and Bi Tao are barely enough to eat. This treatment was expected by Bai Qiao, after all, living in this kind of place, the meal could not be very good. It's just that she has to find a way to solve this situation.

She didn't want to go on like this forever.

In the afternoon, a maid brought two pieces of clothing, saying that the fire had destroyed the clothes, and these two clothes were first worn by Bai Qiao. Both clothes were made of cotton, and the pattern was old like a maid's, and Bai Qiao accepted it without saying anything.

Bi Tao has long been angry with such treatment, and she is afraid that the Su family will come to find trouble.

Bai Qiao wiped the silver hairpin earrings he had brought from the burned box, put them in a washed white linen cloth and wrapped them: "Find a time to go out and sell this, and come back in exchange for some silver." ”

Bi Tao was stunned and didn't come to her senses, and pushed the sackcloth back into Bai Qiao's hand: "But these are all the jewelry of the young lady!" What will Miss use after all of them are sold? ”

"It's good not to wear it, it's not a big thing." For these old and blackened silver hairpin earrings, Bai Qiao is really not interested. If you sell it, you sell it, and you can exchange it for something else.

"Miss is really miserable! This Su family also bullied Miss! ”

In the two days that Bai Qiao didn't go out, he probably knew his life experience and situation. She has been fostered by the Su family for seven years, and her treatment is not as good as one year. It's that Bi Tao was brought out by her from the Bai family, but Bi Tao at that time was just bought from Renyazi, and she didn't know anything about the Bai family. I don't know this question, it's really a headache.

On the fourth day, the people sent by Mrs. Su to Jiangling Mansion hurried back, and before they had time to change their sweaty robes, they threw the horse to the guard, passed through the courtyard gates, and went straight to Mrs. Su's Changchun Courtyard.
