Chapter 175: Persuasion
"Humph!" Bai Zhengzhong snorted coldly: "Such a big thing, but it didn't come to inform me until now!" Did the person sent by the concubine say what happened? ”
"I didn't mention it, I just said that I was talking to my mother."
Bai Zhengzhong paced in the room while pondering, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Even if the concubine Niangniang comes to pass it, then it will be easy to deal with it, there are many etiquettes in the palace, and the pearl has made many big and small mistakes this year, after you go back, let Mrs. go to the palace tomorrow to take a good look at her, and what trouble will she make for others." ”
"Yes, sir."
"There is also the stable, put the carriage on tonight, check the condition of the horses, don't have any accidents on the road tomorrow and delay entering the palace."
"Yes, sir."
"What time is the concubine set for the concubine?"
"Tomorrow is not the time."
Bai Zhengzhong pondered for a moment and then said, "Then let the two of them go to the palace gate at noon tomorrow and wait, don't be too late." ”
"Yes, sir."
After explaining all the piles one by one, Bai Zhengzhong noticed the maid in front of him, he looked at it carefully before he remembered this person, and said with some uncertainty: "You, what is your name Liu?" ”
Fuliu raised his head slightly and glanced at Bai Zhengzhong, and then lowered his head and replied: "The little one's name is Fuliu." ”
"I remember." Bai Zhengzhong said as he took a mille-feuille cake from the cage drawer and took a bite: "When I saw you that time, you still had a wound on your face. ”
Fuliu smiled gently: "If the little one does something wrong, the lady will punish the little one." ”
Bai Zhengzhong snorted when he heard this: "Her temper, if you didn't do anything wrong, she can also find out the reason and teach you a lesson." After Bai Zhengzhong finished eating the mille-feuille cake in two bites, he patted the food residue on his hand and asked, "Madame, is there anything else you want to tell me?" ”
"Madame said, I'm afraid the old man still has something to explain, so I asked the old man to come over and talk in detail."
Bai Zhengzhong knew that the Zheng family was going to make peace with Hua Guifei through Concubine Hua's words, so he said with disdain: "I have finished explaining everything I want to explain, I don't have anything to tell her again, I will still rest in the study in the future, the same as before, don't bother me if you have nothing to do." ”
"Yes, sir." Fu Liu Ying paused for a moment after coming down, and suddenly took the initiative to speak: "Master, Madam is going to enter the palace tomorrow to meet the concubine Niangniang, if you don't rest well tonight, I'm afraid you will have a bad complexion tomorrow." Fu Liu's voice fell, and when he saw Bai Zhengzhong frowning unhappily, he immediately added: "The little one looks at the old man's bruises right now, maybe the small board bed in this study is uncomfortable, and the bedding in the lady's room is all freshly replaced, so the master might as well go and talk to the lady about entering the palace tomorrow, and by the way, make up for the sleep that has not been well slept these days." ”
Bai Zhengzhong was a little surprised, he didn't expect Fuliu, a little girl who looked cautious in her words and deeds, to be able to say so much. He asked, "Is this what Madame asked you to say?" ”
"It's a little self with a lot of mouths. Thinking that since there was something serious to discuss, the lord and the lady had not rested well recently, so I thought......"
I don't think it was the Zheng family's explanation, so where did the Zheng family find out that Bai Zhengzhong hasn't rested well recently? Not to mention, it would be because the small bed in the study is not stable.
Bai Zhengzhong took a closer look at Fuliu, and saw that she lowered her head slightly, her face was flushed, and she was shy and cowardly when she spoke. Although Fuliu is not as beautiful as a flower, but now that it looks like this, the appearance of the already upright facial features is a bit of a posture.
Bai Zheng's heart moved slightly and asked, "How old are you?" ”
"The little one is eighteen years old."
"Oh? Eighteen? You're not a child, are you? ”
Fuliu slowly shook his head and replied, "The little one was bought into the mansion by the steward six years ago. ”
"I see." Bai Zhengzhong nodded and said to Fuliu, "Who else is there in your family?" ”
When Fu Liu heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face: "Master, the younger family died in famine after the Yellow River flooded six years ago, and the little one is an orphan. As he spoke, he pulled the corners of his mouth with a strong smile: "Thanks to the care of the house all these years, the little ones are often glad that when they were sold by Ya Po, they signed a death deed." ”
The deliberately small expression on Fuliu's face did not escape Bai Zhengzhong's eyes, so Bai Zhengzhong felt that this maid's personality was optimistic and gentle. Somehow, he actually thought of his original match, Feng.
Feng is also an optimistic and gentle character, at that time he always ridiculed Feng for being born in a businessman but did not learn the scheming heart of a businessman, and then even if something happened to the Zheng family, although she was sad, she never complained, but Ai Ai cried and cried all day long, which made him look bad.
He and Feng's young couple, if it weren't for the appearance of Zheng, maybe his relationship with Feng should be very good now, Feng is a soft and glutinous character, never argues with him, but when he is in a hurry, he can't even say anything serious. If it weren't for the fact that he was seduced by the enchanting and active Zheng family, he would not have made the Feng family depressed all day long, and if he hadn't been depressed, he wouldn't have died early at a young age.
But where are there so many ifs in the world?
"Alas......"
Hearing Bai Zhengzhong's sigh, Fuliu raised his head to look at Bai Zhengzhong, and asked cautiously and softly, "Master, did you think of something unhappy?" ”
Bai Zhengzhong was immersed in the nostalgia for the Feng family, and when he heard Fu Liu say this, he subconsciously wanted to answer, but he woke up in time to realize that it was not Feng who was standing in front of him, but a little maid, so he quickly changed his words and said, "It's okay." Is Madame in the house now? ”
"Madame said that she would help the second lady choose the clothes to wear in the palace tomorrow, and now it should be in the second lady's room, and she will come back later."
"Hmm." Bai Zhengzhong nodded, stood up and walked to the Da Vide vase placed in the corner behind the desk, rummaged through the scrolls inside, and said to Fuliu without raising his head: "I know, I'll go with you later, you go out and wait." ”
"Yes, sir."
Fuliu slowly retreated to the door with the cage drawer, and when he was about to close the door, he raised his eyes to look, but saw Bai Zhengzhong opening a scroll and looking at it carefully, with some melancholy and sadness on his face.
What are you looking at? The expression on my mind when I was distracted just now was also so sad, what did I think? Fuliu, who was waiting outside the door, couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
When Laifu saw that Fuliu came out but didn't leave, he asked, "How?" Is this going to the backyard to rest? ”
"Hmm." Fuliu smiled and nodded, "Let me wait here, and come with me to the lady's room later." ”
When Laifu heard this, he grinned: "Madame is really capable." ”
