Chapter 167: A good fight back

Early the next morning, when Bai Ling pushed open the door of the east side hall with a pen and paper on her back, in addition to the maids who came out to order every day, she saw that there were also people standing at the edge of the courtyard—including Qinglian, there were five in total.

Two mothers-in-law who are about the same age as Zheng Shu, a girl who is about the same age as Qinglian, and a girl who looks about the same age as Bao Yuan. Even if he didn't use age as a method of elimination, Bai Ling would probably think of the name "rouge" at the first sight of this girl.

I don't know if it's a neighbor's suspicious axe, Bai Ling only felt that at a glance, he smelled a little bit of Lin Jieyu on this person.

"I've seen the Cypress medicine." Several people said respectfully at the same time.

"Why are you here?" Bai Ling smiled lightly and asked softly, "You don't want to come and work with me, do you?" ”

"Where, where, we want to ......" A mother-in-law looked at Bai Ling, writing embarrassment and embarrassment on her face, "...... It's just that I'm afraid of myself, and I don't have that blessing. ”

"What do you call the two mothers-in-law?"

"My surname is Jiang, her surname is Zhao, we have been following Niangniang for several years, mainly responsible for taking care of the grass and trees in the cellar and yard, and occasionally our own small kitchen in the palace is under our control." She replied fluently, seeing that Bai Ling had just spoken politely, and she listened carefully to her at this time, without the slightest intention of being annoyed and losing her face, she was bold, and continued, "Si Yao, Qinglian told us everything last night......

"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded, "Blame me for not asking last night, if I knew that the two mothers-in-law were already this age, I would definitely not consider letting you come over." ”

"Hey!" The two of them glanced at each other, and they both sighed sincerely, and they had originally prepared a stomach full of excuses, but it seemed that they were completely useless at the moment - after all, the lessons of the two mothers-in-law sent by Old Madam Qu were there, and they just couldn't think about it, and they wouldn't take the initiative to hit Bai Ling's knife edge.

"Let's get busy." Bai Ling smiled and waved his hand.

Of the five, only three remained.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Chu Lan." , "Rouge." Both replied at the same time.

Chu Lan lowered her head and wrung her sleeves, while the rouge behind her looked directly at Bai Ling with a smile.

"And what is your reply?"

"Yes." Both replied at the same time. Rouge's voice was louder, and Chu Lan's voice was quieter—the latter was so timid that he didn't even dare to look into Bai Ling's eyes.

Bai Ling's gaze crossed Chu Lan and looked at Rouge, "I remember Qinglian said last night that you don't want to do more work for yourself...... Why are you willing to do so now? ”

Rouge sighed softly, she was a shoulder taller than Bai Ling, and at the moment she was trying to make up for her condescending gaze with the humility on her expression.

"Si Yao, stop making fun of the slave, that's just a joke of mine...... I already explained it to Qinglian last night. ”

"Yes, Boss." Qinglian blushed slightly, "I...... I don't speak well. ”

Bai Ling was silent for a moment, as if he was seriously considering something, and after a while, he said softly, "Then it's okay for the two of you for the time being, I will talk to Sister Baoyuan about this when I come back in the evening." If I think someone is not suitable in the middle of the process, then I will eliminate it at that time. ”

The three of them looked a little surprised—they didn't expect Bai Ling to agree like this, they all thought that there would be some kind of inquiry or demonstration of skill......

"After a while, when Bao Yuan gets up, you go to her and ask for a copy of the Buddhist scriptures." Bai Ling whispered to Qinglian, "Your only task today and tomorrow is to memorize them. ”

"Buddhist scripture ......" Qinglian muttered these two words, and then bit her lip vigorously and replied in a low voice, "Okay." ”

Bai Ling looked at Rouge and Chu Lan again, "As for you, when the sun rises in a while, go out for me for a run." ”

"Yes." The two of them nodded at the same time, "What does Si Yao want us to do?" ”

"Three things." Bai Ling stretched out his fingers in turn, "First, go to the treasury of the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, find Master Qi and take forty taels of gold, and I will give you the slip with my seal in a while." ”

"Master Guangchu Si Yin Kuqi, forty taels of gold ......"

The two of them silently read in their hearts.

"Second, it is also the Guangchu Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I sent someone to Yinzuo and Leather Zuo yesterday to order two sets of ready-made jewelry and leather goods, and you took the money from Master Qi and directly helped me take the jewelry and leather goods."

Rouge and Chu Lan both nodded, and quickly made a note in their minds.

"Third, after taking the things, except for one of the boxes of jewelry wrapped in red silk, all the others were sent to the east side hall of Chengqian Palace. Just put it on the table. ”

"What is the ...... of that box of jewelry wrapped in red silk?"

Bai Ling's gaze swept over Rouge and Chu Lan, and said in a low voice, "You sent it to Chuxiu Palace and told Lin Jieyu that this was my return gift to her last time." Thanks to her reward, I wouldn't have been able to save up a set of clothes for the Anhu Flower Viewing Party for many years. ”

Rouge was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted-

What a fight back!

"If you can't do it, just quit now." Bai Ling smiled softly, "It's really not possible, I can also go by myself." ”

"Let's go." Rouge smiled lightly and bowed his head, "Bai Siyao should still have a lot of his own affairs to deal with, this kind of small errand work, just leave it to us." ”

"Thank you." As he spoke, Bai Ling untied the burden on his back, took out a piece of paper covered with dense red stamps, and handed it to Rouge, "I will go to the Imperial Garden today and continue to pray for Niangniang." ”

……

Out of the door of the Chengqian Palace, Bai Ling once again set off towards the Imperial Garden, and the daily morning light was almost the busiest time for the palace people. The masters who had rested all night were about to wake up, and they had too much to prepare.

As he walked between them, he felt as if he were crossing a river that didn't belong to him.

I don't know what Lin Jieyu's expression will be when she receives the pair of bracelets and a pair of anklets?

A slight imperceptible chuckle appeared on the corner of Bai Ling's mouth, and he quickened the pace of his steps.

The magnolia and begonia in the imperial garden are almost past the flowering period, the light peach and the poppy are in full bloom together, and the place where Bai Ling used to sit is full of pink and white petals, and when the wind blows, it is a colorful flower.

A begonia flower fluttered around and finally covered Bai Ling's forehead.

She took off the petals, looked at the falling flowers behind the rockery, and suddenly remembered the scene of Daiyu's burial of flowers in "Dream of Red Mansions".

Nong is burying flowers and laughing idiots, and he knows who it is when he buries Nong.

Bai Ling suddenly moved, his fingertips moved lightly, and the begonia petals went away with the wind.

When she turned around again, a familiar figure appeared under the rockery.

Bai Ling tilted his head slightly, "You're here again." ”
