Chapter 16: Invitations
Knowing that Old Madam Bai began to teach Bai Hibiscus in person, the Lu family was resentful, as long as Old Madam Bai began to pay attention to Bai Hibiscus, it would be difficult for her to start in the future.
But in several fights, one of his children was defeated by Bai Mujian, one was punished for copying books, the other was punished for confinement, and she had to cut off Mama Hu in order to protect herself, this failure is a great shame for Lu Ningxiang, who has always been smooth.
All she was thinking about was how to set up a situation to make Bai Mujian ruined, and if a daughter's family lost its reputation, it would not be easy for the rest of her life.
Lu also ran to the old lady, and the old lady also taught Bai Yunxi, but the old lady refused on the grounds that Bai Yunxi was still thinking about it behind closed doors.
This made the Lu family hate Bai Hibiscus even more, she was also the concubine of the Guogong Mansion, how could her daughter lose to Bai Hibiscus?
On this day, the Marquis of Weiyuan sent someone to post and invite the daughters of Ning Guogong to the Hou Mansion to attend the banquet.
"Old lady, this is a banquet in the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, presumably many celebrities and ladies in Beijing will be invited, Jin'er was timid in the past, and it was rare to go out and show up, so it is better to take this opportunity to let Jin'er go out to see the world!" Lu smiled sincerely, as if he really wanted to push Bai Hibiscus in front of everyone and let her show herself.
Old Madam Bai frowned slightly, Jin'er really rarely went to banquets, and she knew the reason, but after more than a month of teaching, Bai Mu'er was talented and intelligent, and she was already able to get to know some noble girls, since she had the opportunity to meet some noble girls, she was also happy.
So he said: "It's okay, Xi'er is also ten years old, and when the ban expires in January, you also take her to meet the world, our young lady of the Guogong Mansion will definitely not lose to others!" ”
When Lu Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "Yes, the daughter-in-law also has this intention, Xi'er and Jin'er are both very good, and they will never embarrass the Guogong Mansion!" ”
After speaking, he glanced at Bai Hibiscus with deep meaning, but saw her smiling slightly, sitting there steadily, as if nothing could shake her.
Bai Mujin already knew in his heart that in the past, the Lu family always tried every means to prevent him from participating in the banquet, and even transmitted some crooked reasoning to her, everyone should be restrained and steady, and it is not appropriate to show up too much. I want to let myself cultivate the habits of those so-called deep boudoir women in the previous dynasty.
However, since the founding of the country, Tian Yuan has not advocated a closed atmosphere, but encouraged women to express themselves, the people are civilized, and women do not want to cherish themselves with brooms, so they all go to the outside world generously, and even some women do not like red makeup and love arms, go into battle to kill the enemy, and earn meritorious deeds.
This time, the Lu family offered to go to the banquet by himself, it seems that the purpose is definitely not pure, after all, since her rebirth, she has suffered several losses, according to Lu Ningxiang's mind, I am afraid that she has been thinking about how to retaliate against her for a long time, right?
The banquet of the Hou Mansion, if you can embarrass yourself in front of outsiders, then it will definitely be much better than making a fool of yourself in the Guogong Mansion, and it can get rid of the eyes of the old lady, and it will make the old lady completely disgusted with herself afterwards, which is really beneficial.
Bai Muhibi didn't have to think about it, he knew what Lu's calculations were, so he looked at her with a smile and said, "Mother, you have a heart!" ”
Lu Shi had a slight strange feeling in his heart, as if he had revealed everything in Bai Hibiscus's eyes, but after a closer look, he only found that Bai Hibiscus was still smiling indifferently, and there was no trace of abnormality.
She secretly laughed at her heart, and also smiled at Bai Hibiscus kindly, and said, "Jin'er, do you have suitable clothes for the banquet?" If not, Mother will prepare it for you! ”
"There is no shortage of clothes suitable for banquets, but there are no opportunities to wear them, and now they are still brand new in the box, but I have been growing up, and I don't know if the size is still appropriate!" Bai Hibiscus said with some concern.
When Old Madam Bai heard this, she was not happy in her heart, the eldest daughter of the dignified Guogong Mansion didn't even have decent clothes to attend the banquet, she glanced at the Lu family, and said, "How do you do your mother, Jin'er is the eldest daughter, how can you not even have a dress to attend the banquet?" I'm embarrassed to ask her, shouldn't you take care of all these things? ”
Lu didn't expect Bai Mujian to say such a thing to her face, which made the old lady even more dissatisfied with herself, and she was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, so she could only say: "It's the daughter-in-law's negligence, in the past, Sister Jin'er was the most afraid of attending this kind of occasion, so the clothes she made were mostly regular clothes, so I went and ordered someone to make it for Jin'er!" ”
"Then there is Mother Lao, Jin'er was ignorant in the past, but in the past, whenever she had to attend the banquets of various families, there were always various things that happened, either her clothes were torn or injured, and gradually Jin'er was really afraid to attend the banquet!" Bai Mu Hibiscus also said with a look of self-reproach.
It's not that Lu deliberately didn't give himself a chance to show his face in front of people, and now he blames himself for not liking to attend the banquet, it's disgusting!
Old Madam Bai knew that in the past, Bai Hibiscus was cowardly, wooden, and couldn't be on the stage, so she turned a blind eye and didn't care about the little hands and feet that Lu did.
It's just that it's different now, Bai Mu Hibiscus was taught by her own hands, if she didn't have the opportunity to make a name for herself outside, wouldn't it be a waste of her scheming?
So he said: "In the future, you still have to make more friends, don't stay at home, the noble daughter of the family, you should stand out generously, don't say more, let your mother make more clothes at a time, ready to wear in the future!" ”
"Yes, thank you, grandmother!" Bai Hibiscus said with a sweet smile.
Although Lu was not happy, in order to let Bai Muhibiscus enter the game, he had to accompany him with a smiling face, and said: "What the old lady taught is that the daughter-in-law will go to prepare, and by the way, she will make a few clothes for Xi'er, she is also growing up fast now, and she has no time to change her clothes!" ”
"You make your own decisions, don't lose the face of my Ningguo Mansion!" Old Madam Bai waved her hand, let the Lu family retreat, and explained Bai Mujian and the precautions for attending the banquet before letting her leave.
