Prime Minister's Mansion, idle courtyard building.

The door of the main room was tightly closed, and the second lady Bai was bathing in the room, leaving only a personal maid Yingyu waiting on the side.

"Madam, you've been washing for a while, and the water is a little cold," Yi Yingyu said cautiously outside the screen: "Now that the weather in the middle of winter is not as good as before, Madame contracted typhoid fever a few days ago, so take care of yourself." ”

Although the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are reluctant to get close to the second lady Bai because of the eldest lady. But Yingyu is an exception, she is from a bitter background. was bought by the Prime Minister to be a rough girl, and later the Bai family took pity on her and made her a personal maid.

Bai has a cold temperament, but he never tribulates people. On an errand beside her, she is idle and free, and the Bai family does many things by herself, and rarely let people serve her.

Slowly, Yingyu also heard those unbearable rumors, but she didn't put all the fault on the Bai family like ordinary people.

In this mansion, the prime minister is the sky, what if the second lady disagrees?

As a woman, she can't be autonomous, not to mention that the second lady's maiden family has no money and no power.

was able to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion only because of the Bai family's outstanding appearance, otherwise, which lady from the right family would marry a fool?

Yingyu was born in a poor family, and her father and mother died early. There are three elder brothers above, and the eldest brother got married early, so he was separated and singled.

The second brother also married later, and the second sister-in-law argued every day that she didn't want to live with the third brother and sister.

Yingyu was fourteen years old, and there were only two paths in front of her. Either find someone to marry, or go to be a maid. Whether it is marrying or working as a maid, the money obtained must be used to marry the third brother.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and Yingyu knows early on how sad it is to be a woman.

Bai Shi listened to Yingyu's words, but still didn't get up, and still sat in the bathtub in a little dazed.

Although Yingyu was anxious, she was not in a hurry to urge her, and she always felt that since the eldest lady came that day, the second lady had become more silent than usual.

Although Bai Shi is also extremely quiet and does not like to talk on weekdays, since then, her whole person seems to be slowly withering, and a sense of death is revealed from the bottom of her eyes.

Thinking of this, Yingyu couldn't help but shiver, she didn't dare to think deeply, just turned around and went to carry another bucket of hot water, and slowly poured it into the bathtub.

"I'm so dirty, I'm going to need to wash it a little longer." When Yingyu turned around, Bai muttered to herself. It's just that the sound is too quiet, and Yingyu doesn't hear it at all.

"Yingyu, go and bring me the dress I put on the bed." It took another long time before Bai Shi commanded.

Yingyu hurriedly agreed, and walked quickly to the bedroom to get her clothes.

The furnishings of Bai's room are extremely simple, to the point of being deserted. People say that Bai's room is like a nunnery's room, too plain.

Yingyu couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the dress that Bai put on the bed. The dress is pure white with no variegation from the inside out.

This dress was made by the Bai family himself, and Yingyu had seen it when she was making it.

Bai's needlework is excellent, and the embroidery is excellent, but she did not embroider any pattern on this dress, and the stitches are extremely delicate and fine.

In fact, whether it is a prince's family or ordinary people, it is very taboo for women to wear such pure white clothes, and they wear them as if they are filial piety.

But it cannot be denied that Bai is especially suitable for wearing white dresses, her whole person is like a slender white magnolia flower, as if the bright color will overwhelm her slender body, only white makes her look pure and refined, like a fairy in the Moon Palace.

Yingyu hesitated for a moment, but still hugged the dress. Whatever, no one comes here on weekdays anyway, so let the second lady wear whatever she likes.

Yingyu took the clothes to Bai and helped her put them on.

When Xiao Zhongze came back from outside, he saw Bai sitting in front of the dressing mirror, white clothes and snow, long hair on the ground.

Yingyu was there, carefully combing her hair.

Xiao Zhongze and Bai have been married for more than 20 years, but his feelings for Bai have never changed. He has always thought that Bai is the most beautiful woman in the world, and she is also the loveliest woman.

There may be no love between them, but they have always cherished each other for so many years.

Looking at the entire mansion, only the Bai family does not dislike Xiao Zhongze's stupidity, and Xiao Zhongze does not dislike the Bai family's unchastity and uncleanness.

"Yingying, I didn't catch a butterfly today," Xiao Zhongze walked up to Bai, embarrassed like a child who had done something wrong: "Tomorrow, I will definitely find a bigger and more beautiful butterfly tomorrow." ”

"It's too cold, don't go out and run around, it's good that you caught a butterfly for me a few days ago, it's enough." The Bai clan would only show a true smile when facing Xiao Zhongze. To Xiao Zhongze, she is more like his sister, and the silly Xiao Zhongze is a child who will never grow up.

The Bai family has a child of his own, but that child is more than Xiao Bonian, since he was a child, he rarely came here to see his biological mother, because Xiao Xu has been taken care of by Xiao Chengxiang since he was born, and he was not brought up by the Bai family.

"It's not cold, it's not cold at all," Xiao Zhongze shook his head stubbornly like a child: "Yingying likes butterflies, so I'll catch butterflies." ”

Bai Shi laughed again, and then softly urged Yingyu to quickly comb her hair.

"Yingyu, from tomorrow onwards, you will be responsible for taking care of the second master!" Bai Shi said to Yingyu on the side: "There is no one to use around the second master, I don't worry. ”

"Second lady, I'm going to serve the second master, who will serve you?" Yingyu said: "Actually, Ping'an's little guy is very good, although he is stupid, he is kind-hearted and will not hide treachery." ”

"That's fine," Bai Shi nodded and said, "I'm a little tired and go to rest for a while, you go to that little guy and tell him that he will follow the second master from tomorrow." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you to wash it first, and then I'll go," Yingyu hurriedly agreed, "Ping An must be happy to hear it." ”

"By the way, the second master is also dirty, you go and ask the people who follow him to wash the second master well, and by the way, I want to eat the sunflower soup from the big kitchen today, you run an errand to talk to them."

"Okay, I'll do all these things in a while, it's rare that Madame has an appetite today." Yingyu said happily.

From the small courtyard to the big kitchen, you have to pass through most of the prime minister's mansion, and generally the meals of the small courtyard are made in the small kitchen here.

Here Yingyu first served the Bai family to sleep, then took Xiao Zhongze to find the people who followed him, and then asked the little maid to pass the word safely, and finally went to the big kitchen to ask for sunflower soup.

More than half an hour has passed since all these things were done.

When Yingyu returned to the idle courtyard, she found that several other maids were doing work in the east and west wings.
