Chapter 86
"How can it be so simple?" Bai Tao said anxiously: "It's okay to be simple in the palace, but it is the Bai family's intention to hold a birthday banquet for you, what can others say?" β
Qu Muge simply made his words clear, and said: "The matter of the Duan and Zuo families has just come to an end, the imperial court has not recovered from its great injuries, and my father is in a difficult time, we don't help to share our worries and solve problems, why do we add some inconsequential troubles?" Although my mother is gone, don't forget that the Bai family is also a relative, and my father has been troubled by arrogant and domineering relatives for many years, so we must remember to be low-key. β
Bai Tao left with an embarrassed face, presumably with the task arranged by Mrs. Bai.
On the way to Mrs. Bai's yard, Bai Taoshi said to his mother-in-law: "Our ancestor is really not good at oil and salt, and it is difficult to please her, so it is better to leave her to the second room to take care of it, what did I do when I robbed this errand, and after a while, my mother-in-law will say that I am not doing well." β
Guan Pozi said: "In my opinion, this princess of our family has a big mind, she doesn't care about the current pomp, but in fact, she is trying to show weakness in front of the emperor, and Bo is distressed." The princess is now at her age, and she can already say that she is close, if she has the emperor's love, the future will naturally be a smooth road, what kind of pomp do you want? If the old lady really wants to hold the princess, it is better to plan for the princess's marriage in advance, do you say? β
Bai Taoshi clapped his hands and said: "Yes, although the fourteen-year-old said that the relatives were a little early, but after the relatives were said to be married, they still had to do the ceremony, and it would take two years to wait for the dowry and the six ceremonies to be completed." It's time to get up. β
Changing his depressed look, Bai Tao walked briskly to find Mrs. Bai.
Old Madam Bai listened to her daughter-in-law's suggestion, nodded and said: "Yes, although the princess's marriage is decided by the emperor, but Yiwen Niangniang is gone, we naturally have to worry more, and if we have a good candidate, we must greet the palace early." It's okay if the princess doesn't want to hold a birthday banquet, but our family's various festivals and banquets must be held more, and the relationship must move around more to be affectionate, so as to teach all families to be familiar with the princess. Not to mention the side, the princess's little face has kept all the good-looking places of Yiwen Niangniang, which stunned boy is not impressed? β
Bai Tao immediately thought of something and said: "The third day of the first year is the Shangsi Festival, although it is a little hasty, but now Zhang Luo is in time." In previous years, Ting'er was the east of the Daughter's Day, or she would be the east this year, and she would also take the opportunity to ease the relationship between her and the princess, do you think it's okay? β
After all, Bai Lingting is the eldest granddaughter, and Mrs. Bai also had high hopes in the past, so she nodded and said: "Go and do it, do it more thoroughly, the young lady of the Wang family must be invited, and Ting'er's marriage should also ask Mrs. Wang to pull more in the middle." β
"Yes, daughter-in-law will do it."
Shangsi Festival is also known as Spring Bathing Day, on which everyone will go to the waterside for a feast and outing.
The Bai family started a day in advance, Zhang Luo was indeed too hasty, and the post was sent to several good families, and they all replied that they had agreed to the invitation of the Wang family, a member of the Ministry of Works, and would go to Jinxitai for a party.
Bai Tao couldn't, so he had to go to Wang's house in person, saying that Princess Taixuan wanted to come out to relax, so she asked Mrs. Wang for two invitations.
She took the post home to Bai Lingting and asked her to invite Princess Taixuan to the meeting, Bai Lingting immediately blew up, saying: "Wang Miaoyun sent me an invitation before, I rejected her, why did you run to her house to ask for a post?" What a shame! β
Bai Taoshi sank his face and said, "You still dare to say? How many months have you not been out to a party? Miaoyun still remembers you, and she makes an appointment with you every time, because she is affectionate and righteous. What's the use of you hiding at home? Give me a generous walkout, with the princess supporting you, who dares to make fun of you? Everyone will only look up to you, and you will have a turn for the better when you say that your family. β
Bai Lingting rolled her eyes and said, "She supports me?" Mother, you're too naΓ―ve. β
Bai Tao slapped his daughter's arm: "Why didn't she support you?" You didn't see how nice she was to your brother? Now your grandfather has discussed everything with your brother, and this is all thanks to the princess. Aren't you going to send me the post quickly? If you play a little sex again, I'll really hit you! β
"Mother!" Bai Lingting stomped her feet anxiously, she really couldn't pull her face to please Princess Taixuan.
Bai Tao patiently persuaded: "The princess is more sensible than you, although she doesn't treat you at home, as long as she goes out, the face of the Bai family is her face, will she still turn her elbow out?" You went out and straightened my waist for me, I didn't see you like this puss before, why did you become so spineless when you encountered a little setback in marriage? β
Bai Lingting was forcibly pushed out of the door by Bai Tao, and walked towards Bai Yutang with the invitation.
When Qu Muge was having dinner, he heard that Bai Lingting was coming, and he was quite surprised, could it be that he had forgotten the pain after the scar was healed, and he came to provoke himself again? Don't you have a long memory of kneeling in the ancestral hall last time?
She put down her chopsticks and said to Huanhuan, "Please let her in." β
Bai Lingting is still a young lady in the end, and she knows how to do some kung fu on the scene, and when she walked into Bai Yutang, there was no longer the slightest reluctance on her face.
She saluted Qu Muge very regularly, and said after the visit: "The day after tomorrow is the Shangsi Festival, in previous years, our family would do a party in the East, but this year we were a little negligent, and the preparations were late, but today I received an invitation from the family of the Ministry of Labor, and the princess was specially invited to attend." β
She handed over the post, and then said: "Grandmother has a very good relationship with Mrs. Wang, and our family often has dealings with theirs. β
Qu Muge glanced at the post, it was not that she intended to embarrass Bai Lingting, but that she didn't know any Wang family, and she really didn't want to go.
"Recently, there has been some chaos in the capital, I don't really want to go out, just forget it."
Bai Lingting thought for a while and said, "I heard that the princess invited the young lady of the Xie family and the Lin family to her home as guests, and they will all go to the party in Jinxitai this time, they are all acquaintances, and there will be no chaos." β
After she said this, Qu Muge remembered something.
Lin Youdian said that the object of his relatives seems to be surnamed Wang.
At that time, Xie Zhiyin also told her that Miss Wang had a good relationship with Bai Lingting, so she thought it was this one.
She became a little interested, and said, "Let me think about it, will I reply to you tomorrow at noon?" β
To get this answer, Bai Lingting was already thankful and secretly happily left.
Qu Muge immediately sent Huanhuan to Xie Zhiyin to inquire, and sure enough, the answer she got was the same as she guessed, Miss Wang, who held the Jinxitai party, was Lin Youdian's kiss object, and several of them would go.
"If that's the case, then I'll go and join in the fun." Qu Muge asked Huanhuan to talk to Gu Nanye the next day.
Although Gu Nanye didn't forbid her to go out, she felt that she had to tell him about her itinerary.
