Chapter 3: Temptation
The Bai family has two daughters, who were born to the original partner and continuation of Bai Zhengzhong, the head of the Bai family.
But at the same time, the Bai family seems to have acquiesced to the fact that the Bai family has only one daughter - Bai Mingzhu, the youngest daughter born to Bai Zhengzhong and the Zheng family.
Although Zheng is a continuation, he had already given birth to a child with Bai Zhengzhong before entering the mansion, and Bai Mingzhu did not receive any white eyes because he was a child born to his mother as an outer room, but was very favored by Bai Zhengzhong.
And Bai Shuangshuang, who is also the daughter of the Bai family, doesn't know when she became the same existence as a slave.
A few days ago, Bai Shuang met Bai Mingzhu who took the young ladies who came to visit the garden by the pond, and was pushed into the pond by Bai Mingzhu's "mistake", causing Bai Shuang to be in a coma for a day and a night.
After waking up, the white frost was very active in cooperating with Cai Sang's persuasion, drinking medicine and eating on time every day, and the body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
These actions fell on Cai Sang's eyes, which made her feel very strange.
Cai Sang has followed Bai Shuangshuang since the year Zheng entered the house, she really knows Bai Shuangshuang's personality too well, in other words, she was bullied by Bai Mingzhu in the past, even if she didn't cry or make trouble, she would definitely feel sorry for herself and be so angry that she didn't think about tea and dinner, let alone take medicine.
"Where's the medicine?" Bai Shuangshuang sat on the bed, flipping through a yellowed novel in his hand, and when he heard Cai Sang open the door and came in but didn't smell the medicine, he asked without raising his head.
Cai Sang closed the door for a moment, "The medicine prescribed by the doctor is gone." ”
"None?" Bai Shuangshuang raised his eyes to look at Cai Sang, who was still standing by the door, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Did I say that my body is already well?" ”
Bai Shuangshuang's attitude was still as tepid as before, but his eyes became very sharp, and he felt uneasy when he saw Cai Sang. Cai Sang always felt that after his young lady was rescued from the water, it was different, and this sharp look was something that the gentle and cowardly young lady had never had.
Cai Sang said with a smile: "Miss, if the ladies in the house want to ask for a doctor, they all have to tell the lady, you know this." ”
"Have you done that?"
"Is this ,......" still need to be asked?
Everyone knows very well that if it weren't for the fact that there happened to be a guest on the day when the white frost fell into the water, Zheng needed to show his demeanor as a housewife, maybe let the white frost be sick all the time, how could he ask the doctor for a follow-up?
Seeing that Cai Sang did not answer, it was not strange that the white frost was not surprised.
In her previous life, Cai Sang was almost the person she trusted the most, so much so that when she married into Cheng Mansion, she took Cai Sang with her, but she didn't expect that this was to marry someone else, and with Cai Sang's matchmaking, Bai Mingzhu and Cheng Ruohan had already rolled into bed. Even, when she was tricked into the temple, there was also Caisang's handiwork. I can only hate her until she dies and she doesn't know that she has always raised the Zheng family by her side.
White Frost closed her eyes, took a deep breath to suppress the disgust and hatred in her heart, and only when her heart was calm did she throw the notebook aside, lift the old thin quilt and climb down from the bed. "Okay, in that case, I'll do it myself. Change my clothes. ”
Cai Sang had a sudden slap in his heart.
Over the past few years, White Frost seems to have understood her own situation, and she is also used to doing some chores with her own hands, and it has been a long time since she has let people serve her. For the first time in a long time, this was the first time that White Frost had asked Caisang to change her clothes.
"Yes."
The door of Zheng's room was closed, and two maids were standing at the door chatting in a low voice, and only after hearing Cai Sang's light cough did they notice the two masters and servants of the white frost who had entered the courtyard.
The two maids didn't recognize the white frost at the first time, but they recognized the mulberry picking behind the white frost.
The older maid walked down the steps with a smile, and said lightly as if talking to someone who was also a maid: "Miss? I heard that you have recently contracted a cold, why don't you have a good rest, but you come to disturb Madame? ”
Bai Shuangshuang is still very impressed by this maid, and Zheng will take her with him wherever she goes.
Bai Shuangshuang gave a salute to the maid: "Sister Dongmei, I accidentally fell into the pond a few days ago, and my wife helped me ask a doctor to see a doctor, and I was very grateful in my heart, so now that my health is better, I came to ask Mrs. for peace." ”
Dongmei was a little stunned when she saw that White Frost Frost was giving her a salute, and she was even more unable to deal with it when she heard White Frost's words.
Zheng's family has long been exempted from the white frost frost's invitation, and the white frost is also a wooden fish head, so he really won't come again, but now he takes the initiative to say goodbye? Is it not clear whether she accidentally fell into the pond or was pushed into the pond by the white pearl? And the reason is so good.
Dongmei came back to her senses and politely refused: "Miss, you really didn't come at the right time, Madame is resting now, and she doesn't see guests." ”
Bai Shuangshuang looked apologetic: "I came in too much of a hurry, I didn't expect this." As he spoke, he smiled gently, "It's okay, Sister Dongmei, don't bother Madame, I'll just wait here." ”
"......" Dongmei was a little impatient, so she rolled her eyes: "Then it's up to the eldest lady." Then he went back to the stairs and whispered to another maid.
It is now past the coldest month of the month, and the snow and ice are beginning to melt, so the temperature in the air is very cold despite the direct sunlight.
Wearing some thin old cotton clothes, Bai Shuangshuang stood in Zheng's small courtyard against the cold wind, her expression was indifferent, and her back was always straight, as if she couldn't feel the cold.
Cai Sang rubbed his arm, took a sigh in his hand and covered his somewhat frozen face, and said to Bai Shuangshuang: "Miss, let's come back later." ”
The two maids on the stairs also heard Caisang's words, and they all turned back to see the reaction of the white frost.
Bai Shuangshuang's lips were a little purple from the cold, and he replied in a very sincere tone: "No, since you are here, you must say hello to your mother, because it is too cold to go back, what is it like?" ”
Cai Sang was speechless, so he had to carry the frost with the white frost.
After a long while, the face of the white frost became more and more ugly, and a mouthful of black lips looked particularly dazzling on the frozen white face.
Dongmei has seen it several times, and when she saw this, she said to Bai Shuangshuang: "I'll go and see if Madame is up." ”
Bai Shuangshuang smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Dongmei." ”
After a while, Dongmei opened the door and came out to speak: "Madame has gotten up, Miss, come in." ”
Zheng's house was burning with fine silver carbon, and as soon as she entered the door, she felt a warmth coming to her face, she followed Dongmei to the inner room in a regular manner, and saw Zheng who was leaning on the beauty couch and drinking tea.
With just one glance, Bai Shuang could see that Zheng had not just gotten up, and he didn't know how long she had been up, or if she hadn't been resting at all, so she let Bai Shuang wait outside.
Zheng glanced at the white frost, sipped the tea and asked lazily, "Dongmei said that you want to come to thank you for your peace?" ”
Bai Shuangshuang smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, I hope it didn't disturb my mother's rest." ”
Zheng snorted lightly, "I hope I didn't bother." She put down the teacup and sat up: "Xie has already said, Ann has also been invited, you can go." ”
The white frost looked embarrassed, as if there was still something to say.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
Bai Shuangshuang seemed to be a little embarrassed to say: "Mother, the spring cold is coming, I have not recovered from a serious illness, and I want to ask my mother to arrange for me to be treated by a doctor in the house again." ”
"A serious illness that has not been cured?" Zheng replied with some amusement: "You can stand outside my house for so long a day, where does it look like a serious illness has not been cured?" Where did you get into the delicate habits of your youngest daughter's family? ”
"......," Zheng replied, as expected by the white frost. But he still made a hurt expression, and said with tears in his eyes: "What my mother said is, thank you for my mother's teachings." Frost knows that she lacks control, and hopes that her mother can give Frost a chance to learn, and often accompany her mother. ”
Zheng slowly stood up from the beauty couch, looked at the white frost carefully, and after a long time, he said with a smile: "You don't need to be with you often, you just know that I treat you well." I'm not in good health, I don't have much energy to see people much, so don't do this kind of greeting in the future. ”
Hearing this, Bai Shuangshuang seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and her body trembled, but she still managed to finish the next words: "I know, mother." Finally, I hope my mother agrees. ”
Probably it was the attitude of the white frost today that made Zheng very satisfied, and she was also rare to be patient. "Say it."
"The flower room in the side yard has been idle for a long time, I think...... Can you let me help in the flower room in the future......" Bai Shuangshuang's tears finally flowed, and his face was a little sad: "Those things in the kitchen...... I'm a little ......."
"Yes." Zheng interrupted Bai Shuangshuang's complaint, "While taking care of other things, the flower room is also handed over to you to take care of." ”
...... "Yes ......"
Hearing that Bai Shuangshuang gritted his teeth and agreed, Zheng's heart was a little refreshed, so he waved his hand: "Let's go quickly." ”
"Yes, Mother."
After Bai Shuangshuang left, Dongmei, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and asked, "Madam, ...... this is the eldest lady?"
"Hmph, dare to use your brains in front of me." Zheng's words sounded almost at the same time as Dongmei's words, she walked to the window and pushed open the window, looked at the figure of Bai Shuangshuang leaving, and said, "I don't know how she suddenly opened her mind." ”
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
Zheng had a hint of smugness on his face: "Idiot, why did she suddenly come to ask for peace, and said that she would always accompany me?" ”
Dongmei smiled flatteringly: "The slave doesn't know." ”
"Of course, I want to see the master. She suddenly realized how miserable she would be if there was no one to support her in this house, and she wanted to buy a good man from me and come to ask for peace, so that she could see the old man complaining. Blown by the cold wind, Zheng shivered, she closed the window and returned to the beauty couch, and continued comfortably: "I didn't want her to ask for peace at the beginning, but I didn't want my lord to see her." ”
Only then did Dongmei react, and she repeatedly praised Zheng's foresight. "What about the flower house?"
At the mention of this, Zheng's face was a little gloomy: "Her biological mother, Feng's slut, loves flowers and plants, and that flower room used to be a product of Feng's supply. Zheng sneered: "Thank me again and again, don't you just don't want to go to the kitchen to help?" ”
Seeing that Dongmei was very teachable, Zheng's mood was a little better, and she instructed Dongmei: "You go and ask Caisang if he has found anything abnormal recently, and you will also send someone to keep an eye on the flower room, although the flower room is deserted, but you must also beware of what kind of demon wind that little slut makes." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Cai Sang had been staying outside just now, and vaguely heard some of the conversations between Baishuang and Zheng, and had been sighing in his heart that this eldest lady's brain was still not enough, knowing that Zheng didn't like her, and made so many requests one after another, and tossed a job for himself in a flower room.
She glanced at the white frost, but found that the white frost was crying when she came out of the inner room just now, and returned to the expressionless face before seeing Zheng.
And Bai Shuangshuang was satisfied with the result of this first encounter with Zheng.
Whether it was to ask for a doctor or to ask for peace, she had already expected that it was impossible for the Zheng family to agree, how could the Zheng family be so stupid to give her a chance to meet Bai Zhengzhong? The main purpose of her going to see the Zheng family was for the flower house.
Cai Sang asked cautiously, "Miss, do you have any plans?" As soon as the words fell, Bai Shuang stopped abruptly, and Cai Sang almost bumped into it, and hurriedly took a few steps back and waited for Bai Shuang to speak.
