Chapter 33: Cutting the edge and waiting for the opportunity
"Why does Mama ask that?" Bai Mu Hibiscus raised an eyebrow and asked.
"The old slave just said casually, that King Xuan smiled all day long, it seems harmless, but in fact it is the most powerful, the more kind and gentle some people laugh, maybe the more powerful the means, so ...... People live in this world, they don't have to keep their faces on their faces all the time, they have to laugh, even if they are facing their enemies, they have to smile gently, and then give her a stab in the heart! ”
Mama Rui's smiling appearance made the mandarin duck and the magpie shiver, Mama Rui obviously looked at such a kind person, how could she say such a terrible thing, and now the smile on her face felt cautious.
Bai Mujin looked at Mama Rui, as if she had found an unprecedented tacit understanding, she lowered her eyes, covered all the edges, and showed an extremely warm and soft smile.
"That's right, your expression just now is too terrifying, it's not good!" Mama Rui nodded approvingly and patted Bai Hibiscus's hand, although she didn't know what kind of complicated thoughts Bai Hibiscus had in her heart, but from her eyes, she could see the outright hatred.
Bai Mujian nodded, still smiling gently, but gently withdrew his hand, and said obediently: "Thank you Mama for mentioning it, Jin'er will rely on Mama in the future!" ”
Mama Rui didn't speak, just smiled and nodded at her, she knew that it might not be so easy for this thoughtful girl to trust her now, so it was okay, a person who was too gullible about others was definitely not a smart person.
The mandarin duck and the magpie glanced at each other, they didn't know what was going on, how did they feel that the atmosphere between Miss and Mama Rui was very weird?
After returning home, after a little rest, I planned to take Mama Rui to see Mrs. Bai, after all, she brought someone back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she had to tell the old lady first, otherwise she would definitely be dissatisfied with the suspicious grandmother.
As soon as I arrived at the old lady's yard, I heard that the old lady Bai was losing her temper, and she seemed to be very angry, and she shouted angrily: "She is doing this for me, she wants to provoke the relationship between our mother and son, it is really a good calculation!" ”
Bai Mujin and Mama Rui glanced at each other, and whispered: "My grandmother is not very good-tempered, what grievances will you suffer later, don't take it to heart!" ”
Mama Rui shook her head and said, "The eldest lady is worried, the old slave can save it!" ”
Bai Mujin thought about it and felt that she seemed to have too much heart, if Mama Rui didn't even have this bit of eyesight, it would not be enough to achieve the position of a fourth-grade female official by the side of the former queen.
She smiled a little apologetically at Mama Rui, and then walked towards the house with the mandarin duck and the magpie, and it was still Ziyu who was guarding outside, and when she saw Bai Hibiscus coming, she hurriedly said: "Miss, the old lady is angry, do you want to come back later?" ”
Bai Mu Hibiscus looked at Ziyu, with a decent smile on his face, and said, "In this way, I want to go in to dissipate my grandmother's anger, and ask Sister Ziyu to make it convenient!" ”
Seeing that she insisted, Ziyu no longer stopped and let Bai Mu Hibiscus in, Bai Mu Hibiscus took the Mandarin Duck Magpie and Rui Mama into the house, and hurriedly greeted Mrs. Bai, and said obediently: "Grandmother, Jin'er is back, what is wrong with Grandmother?" Whoever provokes you to be so angry, you must beat her a few boards to make your grandmother angry! ”
Old Madam Bai was teased by her like this, and laughed out loud, and said, "You ghostly spirit, you know that you are teasing my old man, and your grandmother is in good health?" ”
"Grandmother rest assured, grandmother is in good health, and asked Jin'er to come back to thank grandmother for her care!" Bai Hibiscus replied with a smile.
Old Madam Bai nodded, but her eyes had already drifted to Mama Rui behind Bai Mujian, frowning slightly, but she didn't ask.
Bai Mu Hibiscus hurriedly said: "Grandmother, Jin'er is here to introduce you, this is Mama Rui, it is the grandmother who specially came to teach Jin'er the rules, she has served the nobles in the palace, and her grandmother cares about Jin'er, saying that Jin'er is older, she should learn the etiquette well, and go out in the future so as not to embarrass the Ningguo Mansion!" ”
When Mama Rui heard this, she respectfully gave Mrs. Bai a salute, the standard etiquette, not much in one point, not a lot in one, which made people feel very comfortable when they saw it, coupled with her always happy smile, it gave people a feeling of spring breeze.
Seeing that her rules were so good, and that she was kind and not aggressive, Old Madam Bai felt five points at ease in her heart, and said, "Well, it looks like an excellent one, and your grandmother really feels sorry for you!" ”
Bai Mu Jinjiao laughed, took Mrs. Bai's hand, and said coquettishly: "My grandmother feels sorry for me, and my grandmother feels even more sorry for me. ”
"You girl, now your mouth is like smearing honey, and you make me happy every day, hehe...... It's just a matter of being coquettish like this in front of me, and then follow Mama Rui to learn more rules, and you can't be rude in front of outsiders! Old Madam Bai's face softened a lot because of Bai Hibiscus's words, and even the fire just now stopped a little.
Bai Mu Hibiscus said mischievously: "Jin'er will follow her grandmother's teachings, she will not disappoint her grandmother, in the future, I will follow my grandmother to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and at the same time learn the rules with Mama Rui, in the future, I have to compare other noble girls, hehe......"
Old Madam Bai was amused by her, nodded her head, and said, "It's really not ashamed, but my Miss Bai family has to have this kind of heart!" ”
Mama Sun also laughed and said: "Miss, when you come back, the old lady forgot to be angry, you are the old lady's pistachio, Amitabha, in the future, the eldest lady will often come to accompany the old lady, and they all laugh and laugh for ten years, the old lady has the company of the eldest lady, can you live a hundred years old?" ”
Old Madam Bai was overjoyed when she heard this, and after Bai Mujin laughed, she wrinkled her brows and asked, "Who was Grandmother angry with just now?" ”
When Mrs. Bai saw her asking, she straightened her face again, and said angrily: "It's not your mother, but she was punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall all night, and she fainted before dawn, and she couldn't afford to be sick afterwards, so that your father didn't even know the severity of it, and ran to me to ask me to exempt her from copying the female ring, isn't this deliberately embarrassing me, and trying to provoke the relationship between me and your father?" ”
The more Mrs. Bai spoke, the more angry she became, her face turned red, Bai Mujin hurriedly poured her a cup of tea, stroked her back, and comforted: "Grandmother, don't be angry, how can you be angry and break your body?" If it was because of his father, his grandmother was so angry that he also fell ill, wouldn't that mean that his father would be charged with unfilial piety? Ay...... Thinking about it, my mother has never been wronged, and I can't think about it for a while. When she figured it out and understood her grandmother's painstaking efforts, it would be good! ”
Old Madam Bai took a sip of water, and as soon as her anger subsided, she was persuaded by Bai Mujian, and became angry again, smashed the teacup and said angrily: "Even you understand the truth, your father doesn't understand, and he was pampered by that fox and wanted to make trouble with me!" I don't know what Lu has in mind, the dirty things she did in private, if I don't help her cover it up, can you be the housewife of the Guogong Mansion like this? I don't know what to do, a concubine is a concubine, and she will never be on the stage! ”
"Ouch, old lady, you can rest the fire, grandpa is confused for a while, don't take it seriously!" When Grandma Sun heard that the old lady actually said something that she couldn't say, she was so anxious that she squeezed her eyes.
Only then did Mrs. Bai wake up, she was impulsive, and she actually confessed in front of Bai Muhibiscus, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed, and she was silent and didn't speak.
Bai Mujin pretended not to understand anything, and said: "Grandma Sun is right, my father has always been filial, and I will definitely not have a quarrel with my grandmother because of this little thing, I think my father also loves his wife, and after thinking about it, I guess I will come to ask my grandmother for guilt, after all, my grandmother is all for the good of my father!" ”
"Hey...... Jin'er still understands things and is truly filial to her father and grandmother, but your mother is unconscious, how much do you have to worry about me! Old Madam Bai said earnestly, and seemed to be really a little disheartened.
Bai Mujian's heart was a little cold, but he still had a well-behaved and sensible smile, and said modestly: "It's all grandmother's teaching, and grandmother will mention some more mothers in the future, I think it will be fine!" ”
"Your father was also a good person, filial and sensible, and when your mother was still there, he also persuaded him to be kind and be his virtuous helper. But over the years, the people who were picked up by the Lu family have become more and more confused! "Old Madam Bai was really heartbroken by Bai Shizu this time, and she spoke with a strong sadness.
Bai Mujin secretly laughed to himself, when my mother was still there, you didn't like her, just because she gave birth to a daughter for the first time, and it took nearly three years to get pregnant, if you weren't dedicated, how could you let an outsider harm my mother's life under your nose.
You all know it, but you only saved Chen'er, but you sacrificed my mother, because you don't want the family to be ugly, you want to sacrifice my mother, cover up your son's dirty things, and fulfill the reputation and interests of your Ningguo Mansion.
Despite such sadness in her heart, Bai Mujian still lay on the lap of the old lady Bai without changing her face, well-behaved and docile like a kitten, and said softly: "Grandmother don't worry, it will always be fine, everything will be fine!" ”
"Grandmother, my mother is sick, I should also visit her, but I can't let people say that I am not filial!" Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled smilingly.
Although Mrs. Bai was not happy, she also understood Bai Mujian's difficulties, so she said: "It's okay for you to go and see when her illness will be cured, by the way, bring me a message, the female ring will be copied after she recovers, if she has been in poor health, the big and small matters in the house, it is better to change someone to take care of it!" ”
Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled secretly, Old Madam Bai is really an old man, she knows how to hit a snake and hit seven inches, she responded obediently, and left with the mandarin duck and magpie, heading towards Ning Xiang Yuan.
It is estimated that after a while, Lu Ningxiang will be so angry that she will vomit blood after listening to what she brought, right? pretending to be sick to win Bai Shizu's sympathy, firstly, to escape punishment, and secondly, to demonstrate to the old lady, but now that the old lady is making a fuss with her housekeeping rights, she is empty.
Several people arrived at the door of Ning Xiangyuan, the mother-in-law guarding the door had a slightly inferior face, and didn't seem to put Bai Hibiscus in her eyes, and when she heard that Bai Mu Hibiscus wanted to go in to see Lu's, she said casually: "Madame is sick, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to see the eldest lady, if the eldest lady has something, wait for the lady to get better and come again!" ”
"You mother-in-law, who allows you to be neither big nor small, the eldest lady comes to visit Madame, you just go in and pass the word, if Madame is really closed, then it's okay, is it your turn to be a slave to speak?"
