Chapter 139: Afterglow

Xiaobai has not seen Shang Ting, but she has been in contact with Xiliang many times, she has already decided that Xiliang's generous and neat shadow is from Shang Ting, but now she really sees this Mrs. Shang, but she is disappointed, the old man often says that beauties paint bones but not skin, and it is so appropriate to use it on Shang Ting's body.

"Aunt has said, this spring day is the cold time, she sympathizes with the people in the house, and arranged for more than a dozen girls to take turns to keep the old lady's spirit, but you don't listen, no one calls to come, and it is a trivial matter to scare away the guests who came to worship. After all, you followed the old lady, and now that the old lady is gone, you can't forget all the rules, right? Hurry, be obedient, go and lie down, and ask others to pay homage to filial piety. ”

The words are reasonable, and I can't find anything wrong with them, but Xiaobai doesn't believe that there is only one person in this mourning hall, because there is no time to block and prevent others from coming in.

Immaculate sneered: "Lord Yao is gone? ”

It turned out that it was because of Yao Erlin, Xiaobai's heart was much colder.

Shang Ting's face turned cold, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I also know to ask, the old lady was the only girl left in her lifetime, and now that Lord Yao is busy with the affairs of Zhang Luolin's family, should you go and thank you?" ”

"Thank you? Since the beginning of the feast, the Lin Mansion has been revolving around him alone, and no one has asked the old lady when she is sick, and now he is just sitting in the Lin family's study, neither bringing the promotion documents that the lord wanted, nor putting a stick of incense in front of the old lady's spirit, why should I thank him? ”

"It's really worthy of being the girl next to the old lady, I can't tolerate others in this eye, it's a pity, a slave who can't understand people's words, the Lin family doesn't need it, this mourning hall will be withdrawn tomorrow night, the dead are gone, the Lin family still has a long way to go, what should I do, you think about it." Shang Ting turned to the side and walked away, without giving Xiaobai a look.

Wufang sneered a few times, and said to Xiaobai: "See, but if you do the young master a favor, the Lin family will have to repay her." She didn't want to think about who saved her in the first place! ”

"She's repaid me." Xiaobai also minded that Shang Ting didn't talk to her just now, but she didn't want others to mention those hawthorn wine again. "Don't mention it later."

"You are kind-hearted and show affection everywhere, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is also said that you are not greedy enough. She didn't put you in her eyes at all, even this Lin Mansion was not in her eyes, Xiaobai, you are a good girl, you can stop being so good to everyone in the future, people can't stand your heart, if you take advantage of your kindness, you will be miserable. ”

Xiaobai thought about it, nodded and said, "I want to go and see Wen Juan." ”

"You still want to see her? Go ahead, there is a mess in the house at this time, and no one will stop you, but don't regret it, because the master's order went wrong, and the lady and the eldest lady fainted several times, and they may not be angry with you, and then she will let people beat you, and I can't save you. ”

"No, it won't." Xiaobai was frightened.

Wufang sneered: "What's not, you haven't seen your uncle, you have been kicked out by the master." He's from the Lin family, what about you? Listen to me, the white lotus has avoided it, so don't come forward. ”

"What's wrong with Sister Bailian? Is she still cured? ”

"Okay, it's getting heavier and heavier, I heard the white shopkeeper say, I have to go to the south to find a doctor, and I'll leave in a few days." She didn't tell anyone, I heard about it from Mrs. Shang. It's ridiculous, our friendship for so many years together is not as good as knowing each other for a few months. Xiaobai, hurry back, when Meiyu came, she wanted to meet Madame, but I drove her away, and whoever came to me at this time was looking for scolding, I don't want you to be angry here. ”

Listening to people's advice to eat a full meal, not to mention that this person is still flawless, Xiaobai got up to say goodbye, but he always felt strange in his heart, he couldn't help it, and asked: "Sister Xiliang said that the old lady has a bad stomach, is it true?" ”

No time glanced at her, smiled, but with tears in her eyes, she nodded and said: "Actually, that night, the old lady didn't eat anything, the table was full of hypocritical people, where did the old lady get her appetite, after I went back, the big kitchen sent a few suppers, I saw that they were all cold, so I only let the old lady eat a few bites, it was good... ”

"Didn't you say that the old lady is much better? Why is this happening all of a sudden, has Dr. Nan come to see? ”

Speaking of Doctor Nan, there was no time to sneer again, "I don't know who is in charge of this mansion now, the eldest young master wants to find a doctor, Mrs. Shang can't toss it during the New Year's Festival, the lord doesn't care, the old lady let me get dawn, and then go out when the house is clean, I didn't expect it to be a few hours.... ”

Xiaobai didn't want to make Wufang uncomfortable anymore, and wanted to help her to take a rest, but he didn't expect Wufang to push her hand away and said: "I don't keep it, no one will come, anyway, this mourning hall will be gone tomorrow, just let me send the old lady one last time, Xiaobai, you go." ”

Out of the gate, looking at the flawless and lonely back, the little white nose was sour, she touched her tears, and finally left.

She is also familiar with this Lin Mansion, but now that she is in it, it is very unfamiliar, full of all kinds of unfamiliar smells, which makes people uncomfortable.

Seeing someone coming in front of him, Xiaobai turned a corner, and before he knew it, he walked to Mrs. Lin's yard, which was originally the quietest place, but the most lively place, but now, there was only silence left, there was no sound at all, and it turned out to be such a worrying feeling.

She went up the steps, looked at the familiar door, looked through the crack in the door, behind the round table inside, it seemed that she could still see Mrs. Lin's kind smiling face, she didn't remember how many times she listened to Mrs. Lin's teachings here, whether she was intentional or not, whether it involved interests or not, Mrs. Lin's heart for her elders was never fake.

Stayed silently for a while, Xiaobai turned around and wanted to leave, but the door was blown open by a gust of wind in an instant, she covered her eyes to avoid the dust, and in the afterglow, she saw the head of the bed that was transferred to the bedroom, with a few plates of pastries, the ghost made the gods, she strode in, if it was right, these plates of pastries should have no time to mention, that night the big kitchen never had a supper.

After many days, everything in the house fell into dust, no one cleaned up, and it was even more messy, and the plates of pastries were as hard as stones, the color of the osmanthus cake became much darker, and the surface of the crab roe cake was cracked. Xiaobai was suspicious, this is made in the big kitchen? Although the craftsmanship of those cooks is not as good as that of White Lotus, this pastry has been made hundreds of times, and it was originally fragrant and soft for a month, and it has only been ten days of work, how did it become like this?

Puzzled, a voice came from behind, "Why did you get here?" ”
