Chapter 1071: Stay by Bai Jinghong's side
Bai Heran subconsciously hid behind Mo Yu, she was now playing the maid Xiaoju, the youngest maid next to Mrs. Waiwai, so her every move had to imitate Xiaoju, and she couldn't be too thoughtful or too bold.
Seeing her hiding back, Bai Jinghong was a little happy, a pair of eyes kept staring at her, and he kept nodding: "Yes, a good boy." Why don't you give her to me and add a capable person to my side? ”
"You're dreaming! Don't even think about it! Mo Yu was anxious, "It's not enough that there are so many people waiting in the courtyard of your house, and you still want to rob my maid?" I only brought two maids in total, and you will give one to you as soon as you open your mouth, so who will wait for me? ”
"How about I send two maids to my sister?" Bai Jinghong began to bargain with Mo Yu, "You give me a maid, and I will give you two back, so you have earned one more, isn't that good?" Sister, everything must look at the times, understand current affairs, and know how to make trade-offs and give in. What good do you think you will gain by opposing me in this house? When you die, a man goes back to his hometown to join his brother, but if I, the sister-in-law, dislike your widowhood and don't let you stay, what should you do? ”
Bai Jinghong laughed as he spoke, "Of course, no matter how bitter you are, you can't be bitter about the child, even if I look at you unlucky, but Xiaotian's child is innocent, we elders can't just kick out a child because we are afraid of bad luck." So when the time comes, I can only wronged you to go alone, Xiaotian stayed, and I personally raised you. Sister, what do you think of this? ”
Mo Yu made an extremely angry look, "You are threatening me? ”
Bai Jinghong shook his head, "It's not a threat, it's just telling a fact, and it's also teaching you the truth of being a human being." One is a maid and the other is a son, you must know how to choose. ”
"But why do you want my maid?" Mo Yu was puzzled, "You already have so many maids." ”
Bai Jinghong said: "There is no reason, I just want it, and I feel comfortable when other people's things are snatched." After speaking, he looked at Bai Heran again, "Little girl, follow me, usually talk and chat with me, I will give you a lot of good things, I must treat you better than your master." As he spoke, he really took off a bracelet from his wrist, "Here, this is for you." ”
Bai Heran looked at the bracelet stuffed into his hand and was a little dazed, then looked at Mo Yu, and asked with a sad face: "Madam, what should I do?" ”
Obviously, her wife didn't know what to do, she only knew that if she didn't give up this girl, she would have to give up her son, and then she would have to be kicked out. Mo Yu cried and accused Bai Jinghong with a sad face: "You are too much, this is my home, what qualifications do you have to show off your power here?" Who qualifies me to threaten me here? ”
Bai Jinghong still reasoned with her: "How is this your home?" The water spilled by the daughter who got married, this is just your maiden home, and your home is in Zhangjia Town. And I'm married here, so it's my home. I am in my own home, so I can naturally show off my might, and the owner of this family is my father-in-law. ”
Mo Yu covered his face and cried, Bai Heran knelt down and kept begging her: "Madame, don't throw Xiaoju down, Xiaoju is afraid." ”
But it was useless to ask for it, her wife just cried, and there was no way.
Bai Jinghong was very satisfied with this result, and reached out to pull Bai Heran up, "Don't ask for it, it is obvious that your master has chosen to protect herself and her son." You're just a minion, meant to be discarded. ”
So Bai Heran watched Mo Yu leave without looking back, although he was still cursing in his mouth, he didn't mention that he wanted her back. She smiled secretly in her heart, her acting skills were indeed getting better and better, and with such a fuss, she had more reasons to stay by Bai Jinghong's side, and even had a reason to resent the old master and get close to the new master.
Mo Yu left, Bai Jinghong was still sitting in front of the comb, and there was a copper mirror opposite, the mirror was polished very smooth, and it looked very good, which could not only illuminate her face thinner through the problem of concave and convex angles, but also because of the hazy feeling of the copper material itself, the face in the mirror looked particularly good.
In fact, Bai Jinghong's skin is not as good as before, although she has a lot of rouge, but when she looks closely, she can still see the small pimples on both sides of her cheeks, as well as the faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
Bai Heran was also quite surprised, how old is this Bai Jinghong? It's less than seventeen, so why does the skin look like it's thirty years old? Although this face is still overwhelming, no one will think that she is only less than seventeen years old, at least guess that she is twenty years old or twenty-five.
She saw that the marks on Bai Jinghong's face that had been repaired with medicine were not scars, but that the skin had grown again under the stimulation of drugs. She guessed that it should be that Bai Jinghong ruined his face in the Eastern Qin Palace, and then someone used secret medicine to treat it, and finally it was cured like this.
In fact, this result is already the best, because no one's face can be cured to that extent, this kind of secret medicine method must not exist in Eastern Qin, it is either Gebu or Luo Ye, only this kind of small country has some secret methods.
Now Bai Jinghong's face is still so beautiful and moving, even if he looks older, but he looks like this, it is rare in the world, and any fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in the flower season cannot compare with it.
But Bai Jinghong was not satisfied, as soon as she saw her current face, she could imagine how delicate and moving she used to be. If the former looks come back, they will look at least ten times better than they are now.
So she was very sad, and at the same time she was sad and thought of those things in the capital in the past. But now that she was in Lancheng, Lancheng was so far away from Kyoto, she hardly heard any news about Kyoto in Eastern Qin, so she hit her aunt and grandmother from Zhangjiazhen with her idea. She wanted to ask Mrs. Waiwai about Kyoto, but unfortunately Mrs. Waiwai did not cooperate.
But it doesn't matter, isn't this left a maid, the maid knows that there may not be as many as the foreign wife, but it is better to talk than nothing, the news can ask a sentence is a sentence, and the thing can be heard one by one. She had been away from Kyoto for so long that she dreamed of her old life. Taking advantage of the fact that Wei Jingtong went to the yamen today, she had time to talk to this maid well.
"Haven't you had breakfast yet?" She asked Bai Heran, but she didn't wait for an answer, she had already raised her voice again and ordered: "Bring breakfast, serve more, I want to talk to this ...... What's your name? ”
Bai Heran immediately replied timidly: "The slave is called Xiao, Xiaoju." ”
"Xiaoju, don't be afraid, I only eat and don't eat people, I just want to talk to you." After that, he raised his voice and ordered: "I want to have breakfast with Xiaoju, and you come in with the two of you." ”
Immediately, a maid outside answered "yes", and after a short time, she brought breakfast into the house, and soon a large table was filled.
Bai Heran looked at Du Cha Tongue, what kind of pomp is this? It's just a prefect's concubine, but she can fill the whole table with a breakfast. Even if she used it together, it was too much, and this Bai Jinghong had never been so extravagant when he was in the Wenguo Mansion before.
Xu is she stared at a table of breakfast and looked a little silly, Bai Jinghong actually laughed, "The girl from the town has never seen the world, and a table of breakfast can surprise you like this." What is this, although there are many styles, but there are few plates that are rare things, but they are not as good as what I used to do in the ...... of Wen" She said here and felt speechless, so she stopped talking and didn't say any more, but turned to ask Bai Heran, "Why, I haven't seen this meeting in the Liu family before?" That Liu Dafu is the richest man in Zhangjia Town. ”
Bai Heran immediately shook his head, "I've never seen it, my lord has always been thrifty, not to mention breakfast, even lunch and dinner have never served so many dishes, at most four dishes and one soup are enough, and two of the four dishes have to be vegetarian dishes." ”
Bai Jinghong squeezed a sarcastic smile, "Sure enough, it's a miser, it's a pity, after guarding a lifetime of wealth, in the end, it's not cheaper than others." Therefore, this person has to spend money if he has it, and he can't even bring a coffin into it in the end. ”
She walked to the table and beckoned Bai Heran: "Come over and eat, let's talk while eating." ”
Bai Heran followed to the table, but he didn't sit down, but he felt that Bai Jinghong had indeed changed a lot now, compared to the past in the Wenguo Mansion, not to mention that the two of them were not much different. For example, this kind of situation of eating at the same table with the maid would never happen when I was the eldest lady of the Bai family before. Not to mention that she couldn't do such a thing herself, even if she wanted to do it herself, her mother Daye would immediately reprimand. How can a child raised by golden branches and jade leaves eat at the same table with slaves and maids?
"Slaves and maids can't eat at the same table with their masters, this is the rule, Xiaoju doesn't dare." She took a half-step back, looking timid.
"Slaves and maids should listen to their masters, and they can do whatever they tell them to do, including eating together." Bai Jinghong hooked his eyes to look at her, and kept urging, "Sit down, I don't have much time to fight with you here, if you don't even listen to the master's orders, then what do I want you to do?" It's better to throw you out into the sea and feed the fish. ”
Bai Heran shuddered and hurriedly sat down at the table, "Madame, don't throw me away to feed the fish, Xiaoju must be obedient." ”
"Just be obedient." Bai Jinghong picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and sandwiched a meatloaf for her, "Taste it, this is a meatloaf made by an old chef who has been in Kyoto, and he claims to be authentic, but I don't eat it at all The taste of Kyoto meatloaf." You eat it to see how it tastes, and I don't know if you've ever eaten a meatloaf in the capital before. ”
Hakuzuru quickly thanked her, then tasted it carefully, and then shook his head, "It really doesn't taste like Kyoto meatloaf, and the crust is too thick to be baked in the gravy." Kyoto's meatloaf slaves have eaten it, and it's much more delicious than this. ”
"Oh?" Bai Jinghong's eyes lit up obviously, "Tell me, how did you eat Kyoto meatloaf?" Do you often go to Beijing? ”
