In the morning, when he was a child in the front yard, Bai Crane asked for a long time about the silver taels spent on the annual birthday banquet for the Ye family, as well as the origin of the birthday gifts that the Ye family received. As the old lady of the Wenguo Mansion, she has not calculated this account before, but when she enters the door from the Ye family, her right to speak is not as good as a year, so what can she do? Is it going to cost you? If it is spread out, it will be said that he will ask others for money for a birthday banquet for his daughter-in-law. But don't?

Why does it cost a huge amount of money to hold a banquet every year, but the birthday gifts Ye received were all carried into the Fuxi Courtyard one by one, and when he turned around, he said that the house had a lot of expenses and a deficit in the public school, so that the ladies in the house could save some flowers?

Over the years, if it weren't for the help of the Hong clan openly and secretly, I am afraid that she would not be able to live in this Jinrong Courtyard, let alone the life of Bai Heran in the past.

Therefore, the old lady can especially understand the incident that Bai Heran mentioned today, so she instructed Mama Li and said: "You go to the account book for nearly a year to come, and say that the old body wants to see it." ”

Mama Li hesitated a little, "Old lady, will it be ...... over there in Fuxi Courtyard like this?"

The old lady snorted, "Ah Ran is right, if you continue to be timid, this Wenguo Mansion will be surnamed Ye, and no one will be able to save us at that time." ”

"But can you really find out the problem?" Mama Li sighed helplessly, "It's certain that she will do her hands and feet, but you also know it, old lady, your hands and feet are moving in the dark, and the account books we can get are all beautifully made, and we can't catch a single mistake." "I know." The old lady waved her hand, "You just have to go and get it, even if it is a beautiful account book, as long as it is in our hands, it will be a knock on the mountain and a reminder to the Ye family." Don't think that the Bai family is a fool, let her handle it, from now on, the big and small things in this mansion will be the same as the old body

You can't just look at it with your eyes. ”

Mama Li knew the old lady's intentions, so she didn't ask any more questions, and took the two little maids to the tent. Since the Ye family entered the door, Bai Xingyan took the initiative to find the old lady and asked to leave the power of the middle feed that had always been held by the old lady. Over the years, the old lady had never read the account books, so Mama Li suddenly came to ask for it, and the account room was really a little caught off guard. But you can't help but give, after all, the old lady is

Elders.

Therefore, Mama Li's account book was quite smooth.

It's just that as soon as she left the tent with her front feet, someone quietly slipped out and handed the news to Fuxi Yuan'er.

When Ye heard the news, he was so angry that he dropped two tea bowls that had just been fired and sent over.

Shuanghuan hurriedly comforted her: "What can be taken away from the left and right is superficial effort, and no one can see the real account books except for you, Mrs. ”

Ye Shi took a deep breath, forced the fire to suppress the anger, and she told Shuanghuan: "Go and remind the other side of the tent again, the real account book must be put away, and it must not be shown to anyone." ”

Shuanghuan nodded in response, but he was not in a hurry to go immediately, "The person sent by the old lady has just left, and the slave and maid will go back later, so as not to attract people's attention." If Madame really doesn't worry about the account book, why don't you take it back and keep it ourselves? Ye shook his hand, "No." I'm not impenetrable here, once I get out of this room, I need to always hold my identity and emotions, and don't dare to make any mistakes. The old man in the house will come from time to time, and it will inevitably show his feet as time goes by. Who do you think Bai Xingyan is? He's not

Afraid of me, he is afraid of the queen mother in the palace and the power of my grandfather's family. Look at the maids outside, on the surface, they obey me, but in fact, no one knows which of them is the eyeliner arranged by the master. ”

Shuanghuan also sank down, and said helplessly: "Over the years, we have always wanted to put people in Wutong Garden, but unfortunately it never succeeded, it seems that the lord has always been on guard against his wife." Now that there is another evil second lady, Madame will have to be more careful in the future. Ye snorted coldly, "Don't be too nervous, scare yourself." Although I haven't handed over a birthday gift to the public middle school in these years, after all, it was a gift I received, and the Bai family was not really embarrassed to reach out and ask for it. They are nothing more than distressed about the cost of the past ten years, but what is this? only

Even if it is spread out, it is just a man's favorite wife, and it is not a big deal. As long as the account books are well hidden, no one will dare to do anything to me. ”

In the middle of the night, Hakuzuru gently pushed open the door and walked out. A moon-white dress lined in the dark night, like a fairy.

She never thinks that a black dress is a must-have dress for black pedestrians, whether she can be found or not depends on her ability, and it has little to do with what color clothes she wears. That tenth master would not deliberately wear black every time he came, and he did not avoid the many secret guards of the Wenguo Mansion. She stretched out her arms, since she came to this mansion, she has never wandered outside the courtyard at night, tonight should be a good start! There are too many people in this mansion who want her life, if she doesn't add more blockages to the other party, how can she be worthy of the original owner who died in vain, and go through a hard time with her

。

was about to make a move, but as soon as his footsteps were raised, he suddenly heard a small swishing movement not far behind him: "Sister, where are you going?" ”

Bai Heran was startled, and when she looked back, she saw Bai Zhenzhen standing by the window of the wing, looking at her with her chin in her hands.

She stroked her forehead, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing?" ”

Bai Zhenzhen jumped out of the window and said, "When I think of being able to practice kung fu tomorrow morning, I am so excited that I can't sleep. What about you? You don't get excited at the thought of being able to teach me kung fu tomorrow morning, right? Say, "Where are you going?" ”

Hakuzuru said truthfully, "Go steal." ”

"Huh?" Bai Zhenzhen was interested, and she didn't ask what she was stealing, but said, "Take me one." ”

She shook her head in fright, "That's not going to work, it's a burden. ”

Bai Zhenzhen quit, "I'm going to learn from my master, and I have to test whether my master has real skills." If you only teach me how to embroider my legs, then I might as well practice according to the painting books sold on the street! ”

As soon as she heard this, she rejoiced, "O test! Okay, you follow! As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly jumped, and the whole person disappeared in place like a ghost shadow in the blink of an eye, leaving only a breeze and a jaw-dropping white Zhenzhen.

"I'll go!" Bai Zhenzhen looked stupid, "Really? So powerful? After three years of practicing like this, did you take medicine to practice? ”

"The fourth miss really doesn't need to be tested, and the second miss's martial arts are afraid that all the secret guards of the lord are tied together, and they are not enough for her to fight for three rounds."

Another voice sounded, Bai Zhenzhen was startled, and when she looked back, she didn't know when she was standing behind her.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night? Scared the hell out of me. ”

Mo Yu said lightly: "Give the master a care home and atone for your sins." ”

The next day, the Wenguo Mansion finally began to be lively.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, the subordinates began to carry red lanterns to hang up all over the house, especially in the former courtyard, which was the most grandly arranged, and even set up a small stage.

Because the owner of the birthday banquet is the Ye family, a lot of furnishings have been added to the furnishings of the Fuxi Courtyard, and new tables and chairs have been added to the Ye family's house.

The Ye family began to send out wedding stickers to the outside world, and basically the female dependents of officials above the third rank in Beijing received the wedding stickers.

Of course, the post is given to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as for the children of the concubine, there is no special invitation, if the family is willing to bring it, they will bring it themselves, and they want the head of the Wenguo Mansion to invite by name, and the children of the concubine are not qualified.

However, the Ye family also learned to be smart this time, since the newly-born child of the Ye family won the heart of her second brother like that, she also wrote the favorite concubine on the invitation to the Ye family, and specially invited Mama Wan.

With only one day left before the birthday banquet, Shuanghuan asked Ye: "Madame will go to the palace before her birthday in previous years to ask the old queen mother for peace, do you want to go this year?" If you go, you have to prepare immediately, and you can go there tomorrow! It's too late. Ye shook his head, "I won't go this year." There are so many things in the house, and it has been delayed to ask my aunt for peace, so it is better to simply delay it to the end. Although my aunt is old, she is not confused at all. The habit I've been holding on to for so many years suddenly broke this year, and she's always old

It should also be summed up, is there something wrong with me? In the current situation of the Bai family, I can't take the risk of taking the initiative to move the rescuers, but if the rescuers themselves remember, then they can't blame me. ”

Shuanghuan nodded, "It's still the lady who is delicate, and the slave is shallow." ”

As the two were talking, a subordinate outside the door said loudly: "Second lady, the housekeeper in the front yard sent someone over, saying that the birthday gift prepared by the queen mother for Mrs. has been delivered." ”

Ye's heart was happy, and Shuanghuan hurriedly said: "It seems that the Queen Mother is thinking about Madame, let's go out and have a look!" ”

Ye nodded hurriedly, and called someone to go to Fenghua Courtyard to find Bai Jinghong, and he took Shuanghuan to the front yard first. On behalf of the old lady to send a birthday gift is a middle-aged palace maid, tall, concave and convex, bright eyebrows, very stylish. At this moment, people have been allowed to drink tea in the front hall, Ye Shi laughed before he entered the door, and took the initiative to say hello: "Quan Yan, why did you come here in person."

Finish? ”

When the person approached, Shuanghuan, who followed behind, hurriedly curtsied: "The slave maid has seen Aunt Quan Yan." ”

When I looked up again, I found that Bai Xingyan, who had been going in the morning, had also come in from outside the door, his face looked quite good, and he asked Ye's: "How are the posts delivered?" ”

Ye knew that Bai Xingyan was doing this for Quan Yan. This Quan Yan is the housekeeper in her aunt's palace, because her aunt doesn't like the old palace maid waiting, saying that she is not angry when she looks at the old people, so this outstanding appearance Quan Yan has become a celebrity around the Queen Mother.

Bai Xingyan was still showing her face last night, and today she can take the initiative to speak calmly, which shows that she still cares about the people in the palace in her heart.

Ye Shi thought about it, but he didn't answer immediately, but hurriedly got up with a panicked face, and said unexpectedly: "It's all sent, thank you for your care." "Huh?" Ye's words made the palace maid Quan Yan's face instantly gloomy......
