Chapter 56: Picking Up People
"What did my brother say to Mr. Ge?" A bowl of white porridge with pickles, Bai Qiao looked at Bai Zhang with a smile.
After Bai Zhang finished settling it, Mr. Ge ran to Lanshan Residence under the pretext of watching his sister.
Bai Zhang laughed embarrassedly twice, his face was blue and white, and he opened his mouth and didn't answer.
Bai Qiao let out an incomprehensible "oh".
It should have been promised to give the picture of Mr. Ge's lady.
Seeing Bai Qiao's face, Bai Zhang's face suddenly turned red. His sister seemed to know a little bit more.
"White porridge is delicious." Having nothing to say, Bai Zhang smiled dryly and changed the subject.
Bai Qiao nodded, the porridge boiled in Qiuyue was really delicious.
"Jojo, when are you going to tell that you're awake?"
"Today, I'm going to go to Zhaojiazhuang outside the city and bring Qingzhu back." The weather is good these days, there is a cool breeze, suitable for going out.
Bai Zhang remembered, he remembered the Aunt Qingzhu beside his mother, his face sank, and he was a little worried: "Qingzhu has already promised someone." ”
"I know." The red cotton and red maple have been promised, and the green bamboo must not be able to get out.
"How are you going to pick it up?" Bai Zhang also thought of a way at the beginning, but when he married his husband, he couldn't ask for someone outside the women's courtyard as a man.
"Straight ahead." Bai Qiao blinked and smiled.
Bai Zhang was careless, he couldn't think of these things, so he simply nodded.
"Okay."
As soon as it was dark, Bai Zhang left. Xia Shuang's surprised voice came from Lanshan Curie: "The eldest lady is awake!" Miss is awake! ”
Lanshan Curie had a new mother-in-law, and when the mother-in-law heard it, they immediately stepped forward to congratulate her.
"Mama Hongfeng, do you want to tell Madame about the eldest lady waking up?" With the experience of the past, this time's mother-in-law is very well-behaved, and she dare not exceed half a point.
Hong Feng smiled and nodded: "Naturally, I want to tell Madame, you go and tell Madame." ”
"Whoa!" The mother-in-law nodded, her heart was relieved, and she hurried to the main courtyard. When she was sent over today, Mama Zhao specially instructed her to report anything to the past. But today, when the eldest prince was punished like this, they all muttered in their hearts. The Bai family is different from the literati family, the housewife of the family spits and spits a nail when she speaks, but the Bai family is a military general, and the eldest prince is a person who kills on the battlefield, and its deterrent power is not small.
The mother-in-law ran away in a hurry, and Hongfeng looked at the remaining mother-in-law who were keeping to herself, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is very talkative, you come according to the rules, and you will not be punished." ”
"Yes!" Several mothers-in-law spoke in unison.
"Alright, let's do what we have to do! The yard was cleaned up, and the lady liked to be tidy. ”
"Yes." The mother-in-law hurried to clean up.
After Zhao heard the news that Bai Qiao had woken up, he didn't have the heart to come over to see it, so he sent Mama Zhao to send supplements.
Mama Zhao held the tonic with a kind smile on her face, and entered the Lanshan Residence. There was a fuss this morning, and Mama Zhao was already annoyed here, but Madame ordered her to come and see it, and she could only come hard. The people in this Lanshan house are unruly! She'll leave after delivering her things!
"Mama Zhao is here!" Seeing that it was Mama Zhao, the red cotton tree also smiled very beautifully, and greeted her, as if there had never been a conflict in the morning. Isn't that what happened in the house?
Mama Zhao raised the box in her hand: "Madame heard that the eldest lady woke up, so she specially sent some supplements." Can the eldest lady be in the house? ”
"Miss is in the study, come with me." Hongmian happily opened the door of the study and led Mama Zhao into the door.
Mama Zhao walked in and saluted respectfully: "The old slave greeted the eldest lady, and the lady was very happy to hear that the young lady woke up, and she was afraid of disturbing the eldest lady's rest, so she specially asked the old slave to send some supplements." ”
"Mama is working hard."
"The old slave doesn't dare to be." Handing over the tonic to the red cotton, Mama Zhao looked at Bai Qiao carefully. There were only Bai Qiao and the red maple in the study, and the eldest lady was practicing calligraphy, and the handwriting on the rice paper was unusually beautiful. Mama Zhao has never seen too many beautiful words, but this eldest lady's words are even better than those written by the second son!
"How is Miss feeling? Still uncomfortable? But do you want to ask a doctor to take a look? ”
"No need, thank you Erniang for your concern."
"Whoa! Lady's welcome! The things were delivered, and the old slave had to go back to reply, so he didn't stay long. ”
"Well, Red Maple, send Mama." Bai Qiao did not put down the pen and concentrated on practicing calligraphy.
Hong Feng hurriedly smiled: "Mama Zhao go slowly." ”
"You don't need to send it, the old slave can go by himself."
Mama Zhao exited the study, and Bai Qiao stopped writing the last word.
After drinking the medicine for a few more days, Bai Qiao felt much more comfortable, and chose a breezy day to go out.
Zhao didn't stop him, only told to pay attention to safety, and let Bai Qiao go.
Yesterday, Bai Jin had already gone to enjoy the cool with Miss Liu, and she hadn't come back yet, so she wasn't afraid of what Bai Qiao would do at this time. Zuo is bored to go out for a walk these days, just let her go. She didn't give Bai Qiao any money, and she didn't expect to go far.
Bai Qiao brought Xia Shuang and Red Maple and Red Cotton, put some food on the carriage, first walked around the streets of Jiangling Mansion, bought some clothes for Xia Shuang and them, and then went to the rouge gouache shop, and finally went out of the city directly.
Although there are many stalls and people coming and going out of the city, there are many fewer people.
The groom was instructed to do things, and the lady said that he should remember where the eldest lady went, but he was not instructed not to go out of the city. It's nothing to go out of the city, the key is that the eldest lady went straight to Zhaojiazhuang, which caught him off guard.
Not going? That's impossible, the eldest prince just had a mother-in-law a few days ago, who would dare to hit the muzzle?
Zhaojiazhuang said that it was not far away, and it would arrive in half an hour. Because the carriage had the emblem of the Bai family, as soon as he entered the Zhaojiazhuang, he was greeted by the steward.
"I wonder which master has arrived?" The steward's flattering man stood on the side of the road, smiling flatteringly.
The groom pulled the car over.
Kapok looked at the owner of the village and said word by word: "It's the eldest lady of the house who has arrived." ”
Zhaojiazhuang is outside the city, the news is slow, and he doesn't know about Bai Qiao's return to the house. As far as Zhao Jiazhuang knows, the eldest lady is naturally the lady's in-law Miss Jin. In all these years of managing Zhuangzi, I haven't seen the eldest lady here. Is this a passing by today? Of course, the person in charge didn't dare to ask this, so he saluted with a smile: "The old slave Zhao Xiang is the one in charge of Zhuangzi." It's hot outside, so let's go to Zhuangzi first. ”
"Hmm." Bai Qiao nodded.
The carriage started and headed all the way to Zhuangzi.
Zhao Xiang trotted to keep up with the red cotton, and asked flatteringly: "Mama has worked hard, I don't know if the eldest lady can stay overnight tonight?" I'll get the people down there to prepare. ”
Cotton Tree shook his head: "The eldest lady doesn't stay overnight." ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Is Mama from the eldest lady's yard? Look at Mama's eyes! Zhao Xiang also went to the house to hand in the accounts regularly, but he had never seen this grandmother in the house.
Hongmian glanced at Zhao Xiang: "The old slave is newly transferred to serve the eldest lady." ”
Zhao Xiang nodded hurriedly, it turned out to be so.
