Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Testimony
The news of the master's family spread quickly, and Bai Jinghao met Bai Jinzhu on the way back.
Bai Jinzhu stepped forward and asked incredulously: "Grandmother handed over the power of this housekeeper to you?" ”
"Yes."
"You asked for it yourself?" She asked again.
Bai Jinghao shook her head, "Grandmother gave it." ”
Bai Jinzhu circled around the eldest sister twice and looked at it: "How can you let your grandmother be so reused?" ”
"It's just that when something happens at home, it's just to help share it."
At the right time, a gust of cold wind struck, Bai Jinghao shivered, tightened the cloak on his body, looked at the courtyard not far away and said with a smile: "Come into the house with me and sit." ”
Bai Jinzhu was not polite, and when she entered Pinmei Xuan, she approached mysteriously and asked: "Now that feng shui is in turn, and the eldest sister is in power, you can take revenge." She continued, "I heard that the stewards of those shops are very loyal to the eldest lady, what can you do?" ”
Bai Jing smiled lightly, looked at her with an excited face, and said slowly: "As long as the stewards do their part, I won't embarrass them." ”
Bai Jinzhu always felt that these words were hypocritical, but she couldn't stop the envy in her heart, "Grandmother let you be in charge of the house, which shows that you are extremely disgusted with the eldest lady's mother and daughter." You say, when you leave the cabinet in the future, who will she let take over the house? ”
She is already looking forward to this, looking forward to Bai Jinghao's marriage, and her third lady will be in charge.
If she thinks about it, she doesn't just care about Bai Jing's good situation, but thinks that she can take care of Qin Rou's forces during her reign, and she can easily take over by herself.
Looking at the young and young Bai Jinzhu, Bai Jinghao couldn't help but sigh, "Third sister, you think too much, I'm just helping with the cooking, and I won't deliberately use the previous manpower arrangements." ”
"The second aunt took over before, and she still tried to find a way to find fault with her former mother, don't you want to?" Bai Jinzhu's face was full of suspicion.
Bai Jing was too lazy to argue with her, and it happened that Mama Su ordered someone to send the account books and other things in the house, and she didn't have time to receive her after being busy, so Bai Jinzhu sat down and left.
The word has already spread, and tomorrow the stewards from all over the country will come into the house to meet the eldest lady.
Bai Jinghao nodded and sent the people from Hanyutang away.
Qiao's mother was by her side, her face excited: "Miss did it, the old lady really handed over the family power to you." ”
"It's just the surface now, and I'll really have the final say in this house in the future."
Bai Jinghao instructed people to arrange the warm pavilion where he used to practice calligraphy and piano into an account room, and buried his head in to get familiar with the general affairs.
She has little experience, and there are many things she doesn't understand, so Qiao's mother serves by her side, occasionally giving you some pointers.
When it was getting late, someone from Yunxi Wangfu came.
After the old lady received her, she asked the maid to come and invite her.
Bai Jing didn't know, so he asked Leng Xing on the way: "We have no friendship with the Yunxi Palace, why do you want to find me when the prince comes to the palace?" ”
"The prince of Yunxi is here for official business, and the eldest lady is not at home, so the old lady will let you receive it."
Leng Xing reminded in a low voice: "The old lady has already instructed you to take charge of the house, this is Miss Qida." ”
Bai Jing was noncommittal.
It stands to reason that the prince of Yunxi is right to ask Qin Rou, how can he find himself?
Did you guess wrong?
If the two grandmothers in the East Palace were really arranged by Liu Yu, the Nine Kings, then the prince of Yunxi should be his power, if he obeyed the orders of the Nine Kings, why did he still ask her?
She arrived in the inner living room full of suspicion, but she didn't see any battles, neither guards to follow, nor palace people to accompany her, except for the maid of the White Mansion who was waiting, there was only an entourage squatting on the side of the steps.
In the center of the living room, a young man in brocade clothes is facing away from admiring the plaque of "Chun Mao Xuan Rong" hanging in the hall.
"Miss."
The next person saluted, Bai Jinghao nodded slightly, and walked in to salute: "I have seen the prince of Yunxi." ”
The young man was still holding the porcelain cup in his hand, turned around when he heard the sound, and said with a smile: "Is it Miss Bai?" ”
"It's the little girl." Bai Jing answered the words, invited him to take a seat, and looked left and right, a little curious, grandmother has always been a heavy gift, why did she leave him here alone?
"Miss Bai doesn't have to be surprised, I visited privately today, I didn't come for official business, and I didn't dare to let the old lady accompany me, so I asked her to go back first."
Yun Mu, the son of Yunxi, was born to resemble the Nine Kings, both of whom had handsome faces and gentle temperaments. It's just that compared with the harmless simplicity deliberately revealed by the Nine Kings, she has a little more uninhibited playfulness.
It's not good to say, the eyes are not restrained, and it is a little improper.
Bai Jing saw that he hadn't sat down, and it was inconvenient for him to sit down, so he was curious: "Since it's a private visit, I don't know what the prince is talking about when he sees me?" ”
"Of course, I have something to ask Miss Bai for help."
Yun Mu then suppressed the indifference on his face, looked around and glanced at her.
Bai Jinghao pretended to be puzzled, "The prince said it clearly. ”
"The eldest lady is a smart person in ice and snow, why bother pretending to be confused? Now the whole capital knows what this son is investigating, and now that he is looking for you, doesn't Miss think that she should avoid her ears and eyes? ”
His opening was not flattering, and Bai Jinghao frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Yun Mu asked again: "Miss Bai really wants me to tell them what you saw and heard in the palace in front of them?" ”
With an informed look on his face, Bai Jinghao finally waved his hand, sent the maid to retreat, and let Chun Shi stay outside.
She felt that the good man would not come, for fear that he would mention the affairs in the palace, so she deliberately only brought the spring time.
Seeing the next person leaving, Yun Mu approached Bai Jing and said lightly: "You don't have to be nervous, I won't embarrass you, but I need a testimony, and I ask Miss Bai for help." ”
Bai Jinghao's face became more serious, "What testimony?" ”
"A testimony that on the night of the grandson's wedding banquet, you bumped into the meeting of the East Palace Mama and the Imperial Concubine near Qionghuatai."
Bai Jinghao shook his head and said directly: "I didn't bump into it." ”
Yun Mu emphasized: "You bumped into it." ”
"This is perjury!" Bai Jinghao left him a few steps, looked at the strange him, and said slowly: "The affairs in the palace are not something I can get involved in, and I ask the prince and the people behind you to spare my life." ”
was rejected, Yun Mu was not in a hurry, and asked thoughtfully: "Do you know who asked me to come to you?" ”
"Presumably, the play in the palace helped the prince to get ahead in Beijing. And who else will help the prince, besides your cousin Jiuwang, who else will there be? ”
Yun Mu's face was full of righteousness, looking at her and nodding again and again, with two points of appreciation in her tone: "Yes, it is indeed smart." ”
