Chapter 343: Seeking Backing
The reason why Yingqiu was able to hide from the Lu family and Bai Shizu was that the warm winter was indispensable, if it weren't for her covering in front of the Lu family, Yingqiu wouldn't have so much time to spend time in the study.
They are because they have followed the Lu family for many years, so they know her very well, Lu is a selfish person, and he vainly tries to repay people with his life because of his small favors, and Mama Hu died because of this, Mama Du finally saved her life, but she was also punished for doing hard work for a long time and fell into a problem.
But the Lu family is not enough, and they want to use Yingqiu's lifelong events to seek benefits, and one by one, they are telling the two of them that if they help the Lu family, sooner or later they will have to die unexpectedly! No one is a fool, but the Lu family is a fool. is so unkind, naturally no one will be loyal to her!
After Yingqiu left, she did not go back to her courtyard directly, but changed her route to the direction of Jinlan Garden, she knew that there was no great hatred between herself and Bai Mu Hibiscus, if she wanted to gain a foothold in the mansion, she must not only have Bai Shizu's favor, but also get Bai Mu Hibiscus's support.
Mu was able to gain the upper hand again and again, in addition to the patron of Old Madam Bai, wasn't it because Bai Mu Hibiscus wanted to use Mu Shi to deal with the Lu family?
Now that she is a force in the backyard, Bai Mujian may also use herself, so use each other, she doesn't mind being used, which shows that there is still value, otherwise she will have to wait for death!
Now that she has set foot in this battle, there is no possibility of quitting, she also has to fight for more chances of winning for herself, she has seen Bai Hibiscus's methods many times, the Lu family is not cheap at all in her hands, she is a good duchess, she was demoted to a concubine, and her own children were also discredited.
If she can get some favor, she will have some backbone, as long as she can balance the Lu family and the Mu family, Bai Mu Hibiscus will definitely give her some benefits.
Relying on Bai Shizu alone, even if she can conceive a child, she may not be harmed by anyone, she is a girl in the end, and there is no one around her, no one dares to trust her.
When she arrived outside Jinlan Garden, she quietly looked around, this place is not as good as before, who in the Bai family dares to come here easily, the mother-in-law who guards the door has the same eyes as a lantern, and she is always like a thief.
Yingqiu accompanied the smiling face and said, "Mother Dong, can you inform me and say that I will come to greet the county lord!" ”
Mrs. Dong has not been in office for a long time, and her predecessor has already been sent out because she did not let the Lu family in without the consent of the county lord. Last time in Yiqin Pavilion, another group of people were sent, and now there are not many people in Jinlan Garden, but all of them are loyal and ironclad.
Mrs. Dong glanced at Yingqiu, and immediately said with a straight face as if facing the enemy: "What are you doing here?" Now that he has become the Hou Ye's person, our Jinlan Yuan can't afford to climb high, so there is no need to ask for peace or anything, our county lord, I'm afraid of making trouble, you better go back and serve the Hou Ye quickly! ”
Yingqiu glanced at Mrs. Dong aggrievedly, and said softly: "Mother Dong, you are gracious, go and pass on a message to me, if the county lord refuses to see me, I promise to leave immediately, this is a little heart, just ask you to run two steps!" ”
As he spoke, he secretly stuffed a purse into Mrs. Dong, but Mrs. Dong was unmoved, stuffed the purse back, and said, "I can't afford to put away your things, let's go quickly, the county lord can come here if anyone wants to come?" ”
Yingqiu was annoyed in her heart, this woman didn't take people seriously, she couldn't do it if she was a subordinate in the past, but now she is the person in the Hou Ye's room, how can she treat her like this?
But people didn't pay attention to her, they didn't even look at her, just when there was no such person in front of her, Yingqiu wanted to get angry but held back, she knew that Bai Mujin didn't even take Old Lady Bai and Bai Shizu in her eyes, how could she take herself seriously?
He was about to leave in discouragement, but he heard the people inside shouting, "Who is outside?" ”
As soon as Mrs. Dong turned around, she saw that the mandarin duck had come out, and said with a smile: "It's Miss Yingqiu, I said that I wanted to meet the county lord, I was afraid that the county lord would take a nap, so I stopped it!" ”
Mandarin Duck nodded to Mrs. Dong, now this mother-in-law can do things, Mandarin Duck glanced at Yingqiu, and said: "Since Miss Yingqiu is here, come in and talk, now she is a petite, the county lord also said that he wants to send you some congratulatory gifts, since you are here, it will be better for you to be in person!" ”
When Yingqiu heard this, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Mandarin Duck girl, thank you county lord!" ”
Yingqiu happily went in, but Mrs. Dong gave her a blank look behind her, she was really frivolous, she climbed the bed of the Hou Ye with her master on her back, and she really thought she was a character.
As soon as she entered the house, Yingqiu knelt on the ground and said, "The slave and maid ask the county lord for peace!" ”
Bai Mujin glanced at it and said: "Excuse me, now it's not as good as before, my father has spoiled you like a jewel, how can I kneel down with you!" ”
Yingqiu looked at Bai Hibiscus's face and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with herself, and she was very worried in her heart, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "The county lord is tormenting the slave and maid, the Hou Ye gives me some face, the slave and the maid know their own catties, and now this Hou Mansion is the most noble county lord, in front of you, the slave and the maid will always be the slave!" ”
"What a talker, no wonder my father likes you so much, get up and talk!" Bai Hibiscus seemed to be very useful, and raised his hand to let Yingqiu get up.
Yingqiu saw that her face eased slightly, so she got up with a smile and said: "The county lord praised it, what the slave and maid said were true, in the past, the slave and maid followed Aunt Lu, although they respected the county lord in their hearts, but because of the master's face, they had to do a lot of things that were opposed to the county lord, and I hope that the county lord can ignore the past suspicions and forgive the slave and maid!" ”
Bai Mu Hibiscus looked at Yingqiu in surprise and asked, "Really?" I don't remember what you did, but now that you're a father, you're a member of your own family, you don't have to see each other. ”
Yingqiu really didn't expect Bai Mu Hibiscus to be so easy to speak, in her impression, Bai Mu Hibiscus has been aggressive since she suddenly understood, although she always smiled on her face, but she couldn't figure it out in her heart.
She said with some trepidation: "Where do slaves and maids dare to climb the county lord, I just hope to be able to saddle the horse for the county lord, and be a cow and a horse, which is the creation of slaves and maids!" ”
Bai Mu Hibiscus doesn't hate people like Yingqiu, but he really doesn't like it. If you can betray the Lu clan today, you will betray her in the future, so Yingqiu is just a person who can distract Lu and Bai Shizu, not someone who can use it.
She only said lightly: "Miss Yingqiu said that I laughed, if I really use you as a cow and a horse, I'm afraid my father won't agree, I have understood your intentions, don't worry, I won't take those things to heart in the past, and it's not your idea in the end!" ”
Yingqiu breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that Bai Hibiscus would not trust her easily, but as long as she didn't hold grudges, it would be fine. In the future, she will slowly calculate, sooner or later Bai Hibiscus will ask for her, right?
Yingqiu said earnestly: "Thank you for the magnanimity of the county lord, it really makes the slave and maid ashamed." In the future, the lord of the county will have a place for slaves and maids, just send them, and there is nothing that slaves and maids should not have! ”
"There is no need to be so polite, since you are now serving your father, it can be regarded as a great joy, I have prepared some congratulatory gifts, I wanted to send someone to send you over, and now that you are here, I can save me a trip!" Bai Mu Hibiscus said with a smile and nodded to the magpie again.
The magpie ran inside and took a brocade box and handed it to Yingqiu, Bai Mujin smiled and said: "You can open it and see, like it or not, in the end, Yingqiu girl has also seen the world, and I'm afraid you won't be able to look at it!" ”
Ying Qiuguang knew that the contents of this box must be worth a lot of money, took it, opened it gently, and it turned out to be a pair of jade horses, looking exquisite and elegant, lifelike.
Yingqiu was flattered and said: "Such a valuable gift, the slave really can't afford it!" ”
"Since it's for you, you can afford it, as long as you serve your father with all your heart and soul in the future, what is this little thing worth?" Bai Mu Hibiscus didn't care about the authenticity, this is indeed worth a lot of money to the jade horse, but now it is not a good thing in her eyes.
Yingqiu looked at the jade that shone with a warm luster, and her heart was really greedy, this is going to give her away, this alone is enough for her to eat and wear for a lifetime, and sure enough, when she became a Hou Ye, she didn't worry about wealth at all, so can Steward Luo give her such a good thing?
Yingqiu hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "Thank you for the generous gift of the county lord, but the slave and maid will be disrespectful!" ”
Bai Mujin nodded, and naturally saw the greed in Yingqiu's eyes, but this is also in line with her intentions, greedy people are easy to deal with, although Yingqiu is smart and clever, but after all, she is a girl, and her vision is not high, whether it is bought or sent away in the future, it is not difficult.
Bai Mujin gossiped with her for a while before sending the person away, and as soon as Yingqiu left, the magpie snorted coldly and mocked: "The eyelids are so shallow, and the young lady is really, it's really bad to give such a good thing to this kind of person!" ”
Bai Mujin shook his head and said, "It's just to try her, whether she's greedy or not, if she's really unmoved, then I really have to think about whether to help her!" ”
"Oh...... Miss means that anything that can be solved with money is not a matter, right? "The magpie understands it at one point, and it understands it immediately.
Bai Mujin nodded and praised: "You are getting smarter and smarter now, it seems that you haven't followed me in vain, and when our magpie gets married, I can't get such a thing, and I must prepare a rich dowry for you!" ”
The magpie immediately blushed, and said angrily: "What did Miss say, the slave maid has to serve the young lady all her life before she gets married!" ”
Mama Rui said: "How can there be a girl who doesn't marry, do you want to die lonely like Mama and me?" I can't think about it, I can't make my own decisions in the palace! ”
The magpie was a little flustered by the jokes of the two, and hurriedly said: "Don't make fun of me, I said that if I don't marry, I won't marry, and I will guard the young lady for the rest of my life!" ”
Mama Rui said: "That's not possible, Miss also wants to get married, unless she is the aunt of the county horse, you can't guard Miss for the rest of your life!" ”
