Chapter 120: Bai Zhengzhong's anxiety
It turns out that a person who is rich and talented can learn everything very quickly. And it's easy to win!
I think that when the white frost was by Mrs. Cheng's side, it took more than a month to understand the gameplay of this leaf card, but now Tao Fang only used a stick of incense to remember the gameplay of these cards and all the complicated suits.
Li Ranqin's calligraphy and painting skills can only be regarded as medium among all the young ladies, but for some fun things like Ye Zipai, she can always learn quickly, which is something that Li Ran is very proud of. Now seeing Tao Fang, it only took such a short time to understand the gameplay of the leaf card, which also made Li Ran feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he was inexplicably a little proud.
After the four of them played a few rounds of leaf cards, Tao Fang won without much effort. Just when Li Ran was very skeptical that he really wouldn't, Tao Fang always looked at her with sympathy and said, "It's still useful to read more." "Smoke on the top of Li Ran's angry head, and he almost didn't turn over the table.
The sun was setting in the west, and just as Li Ran and the others proposed to retire, Bai Zhengzhong, who learned about the situation in the house today, finally rushed back, and happened to bump into Bai Shuangshuang and his party who sent Li Ran and others to the front yard.
Bai Zhengzhong was slightly stunned: "Tao Fang is also here?" ”
Tao Fang waved his hand: "I've seen Lord Waiter." ”
Li Ran and Li Wei brothers and sisters also followed suit.
Bai Zhengzhong thought of Bai Shuangshuang's birthday today, and Bai Fu didn't do it, but these three people came uninvited, and his face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "This ...... Frost was considerate of her mother and didn't want her mother to work too hard, so she didn't do it, but since it's already this hour, why don't you finish dinner in Baifu and leave. ”
"The waiter is polite, I'm waiting to come uninvited, it's a bit rude, and I shouldn't stop for more." Tao Fang replied with a straight look: "And I still have homework to finish today, and I need to go back to prepare." Otherwise, the master will be angry. ”
"That's right. Say hello to the old gentleman for me. ”
Li Wei also raised his hand towards Bai Zhengzhong: "Our brother and sister also promised that our mother needs to return home before the sun goes down, and it is inconvenient to delay any longer, thank you Uncle Bai for your kindness." ”
As a last resort, Bai Zhengzhong could only nod and call the housekeeper to see off the guests: "Then I won't delay you, you can do it yourself." ”
As soon as the three of them left, Bai Zhengzhong called Bai Shuangshuang to the study. Presumably because of the gifts that almost filled the garden.
"There's something going on in the house today, why don't you let people come to me? If it weren't for my colleagues who came to me and told me that there was a happy event in my house and came to congratulate me, I wouldn't have known about these things. Bai Zhengzhong sighed and sat on the sandalwood chair behind the desk: "Look at it, how rude is it now?" So many dignitaries came to give gifts, but they didn't even see a master. ”
Bai Zhengzhong seemed to forget that Bai Shuangshuang was also the master of this Bai Mansion, and the people who came to give gifts were just the subordinates of those high-ranking officials and nobles.
Bai Shuangshuang replied indifferently: "Because the incident happened suddenly, my daughter didn't have time to find you back." After the gifts of the guests were delivered, it was useless to think that I would come back to you, so I didn't dare to disturb you. ”
Bai Shuangshuang's words were very thoughtful, and Bai Zhengzhong didn't want to say anything more, so he just said: "What are the distinguished guests who give gifts today?" Have you written it all down? ”
"Well, Mama Liu has written it down. Daddy, my daughter made the decision today to transfer two hundred taels of silver from the account room to reward the gift-giver. ”
Bai Zhengzhong nodded: "Well, it should be so." Fortunately, Mama Liu is a seasoned person, and nothing went wrong. When the time comes, you ask Mama Liu to hand over the list to your mother, and you will return the gift in the future. After a pause, he said, "What about your mother?" Haven't come back yet? ”
As soon as Bai Zhengzhong entered the door, he asked the porter Zheng's whereabouts, but learned that Zheng had a carriage set up a carriage to go to incense early in the morning, which also made him angry.
Bai Shuangshuang looked at the sky outside the window: "Not yet, but looking at this hour, it should be back soon." ”
"Hmph." Bai Zhengzhong snorted dissatisfied, and was silent for a long time without knowing what he was thinking, before he asked Bai Shuangshuang again: "Why do so many people know that today is your birthday?" ”
Bai Shuangshuang shook her head: "My daughter doesn't know, those gifts were sent in one by one today, but my daughter was frightened." ”
"Hahahaha!" Bai Zhengzhong laughed a little embarrassed: "You, after all, you are still a little girl, and you have seen too little of the world." But these things will always have to be learned when you marry into your in-laws' family in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Zhengzhong seemed to think that Bai Shuangshuang's marriage was gone, thinking that Bai Shuangshuang had always been considerate and obedient, and that she could basically do what she was asked to do, Bai Zhengzhong rarely felt a trace of guilt.
He said to Bai Shuangshuang: "Don't worry, your mother will make decisions for you about your marriage, and she will not treat you badly." ”
"Yes, Daddy."
This white frost returned to his Qinyuan on the front foot, and the Zheng family and Bai Mingzhu on the back foot came back, and they also heard about what happened in the house today as soon as they entered the door.
Bai Mingzhu was angry and jealous when she learned that so many dignitaries and dignitaries had come to give gifts to Bai Shuangshuang today, and she just wanted to accept the gifts for Bai Shuangshuang. But Zheng didn't have time to appease Bai Mingzhu, so he quickly went to find Bai Zhengzhong.
Sure enough, before the two sentences were spoken, Bai Zhengzhong was a blaming.
"Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Jue have sent gifts, but no one has received them at home, is this like a word?" Bai Zhengzhong slammed his fingers on the table as he spoke: "When are you going to incense?" Do you have to pick today? Today is Shuangshuang's birthday, even if we don't do it, wouldn't you stay at home and have a meal with her? Tell me, when this situation spreads today, I don't know how many gossip and gossip will arise. ”
Zheng was also a little apprehensive in his heart, there were many rumors about her right and wrong during this time, and now so many people in the capital of this dynasty know the birthday of the eldest lady of Baifu but did not handle it, and Zheng and Bai Zhengzhong are not in the mansion to give gifts, so they will naturally think that this is Zheng's too harsh on Baishuangshuang.
Thinking of this, Zheng also had some worries: "It's that I didn't think about it." ”
"Mama Liu has already made a list of people who give gifts, and it will be sent to you later, you should think about it carefully, which ones need to be delivered."
"I see."
Bai Shuangshuang returned to his yard, and the people of Qinyuan were discussing something around the pile of gifts.
Mama Liu said to Chun Tao and the others with a smile on her face: "Okay, don't make trouble, the eldest lady is back." ”
Cai Sang and Cuihuan greeted each other with a smile and gave a salute to the white frost: "I wish the eldest lady a happy birthday!" ”
"Get up." Bai Shuangshuang was also in a good mood today, so she said to Mama Liu: "Mama, is there any broken silver?" If so, take it out and divide it among you. ”
"Then if the Zheng family asks about ......?"
Bai Shuangshuang smiled disappreciatively: "When I asked, I asked about it, and I said that I didn't remember how much I rewarded, but it was gone." ”
