So he smiled and said: "Old lady, Yiqin Pavilion should be kept as it is, Xinping lives in Bishui Pavilion, in the end, it is Mrs. Yuan's residence, Xinping doesn't want to offend!" ”

Old Madam Bai originally didn't plan to give Yiqin Pavilion to Mu Xinping, the reason why she didn't object just now was just to test Bai Hibiscus's reaction, but seeing that she didn't have the slightest intention of objecting, she felt a little strange, could it be that Bai Hibiscus really didn't have any nostalgia for her mother?

Bai Mujin took a sip of tea, her face was flushed, and she looked very delicate, and then said: "Aunt Cousin can be wherever she likes, even if she wants to live in Yiqin Pavilion, there is nothing offensive." I went to Yiqin Pavilion a few days ago, and it was all dusty, and if anyone lived in it, it wouldn't be left here! ”

Old Madam Bai's smile froze, and when she looked at Lu's eyes again, she was even more displeased, and said with a sneer: "I respect your sister a lot, but I don't even want to take care of the yard she left behind!" ”

Lu originally wanted to use this to show his merits, but by the way, he disgusted Bai Hibiscus, but in the end, it became her again, and he was really a little aggrieved and resentful, and he had to apologize: "How come?" I clearly ordered my subordinates to clean up regularly, could it be that those lazy minions were perfunctory again? ”

Bai Mujin smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Mother has too many things to do, and there are people who can't take care of it, and naturally not everyone is obedient, and it's no wonder that mother!" ”

But Mrs. Bai didn't agree with this, and said with a straight face: "As a housewife, I can't even take care of the affairs of the inner house, so what kind of home should I be?" When I was in charge of Baifu back then, I had never been so messy, it seems that Xinping has to help take care of this chore! ”

Mu Xinping was naturally happy when she heard this, but she had to excuse herself: "Auntie, I haven't been a housekeeper either, I'm afraid that I won't do well when the time comes, but I will disappoint you!" ”

Mrs. Bai said: "Who is not born to be born, you will be a flat wife in the future, different from the concubine room, naturally you have to help the housemother manage the affairs together, Jin'er is not small now, just follow the study, lest you go out of the cabinet to your husband's house in the future and be like your mother, showing timidity everywhere!" ”

This is clearly to the Lu family, no wonder her face is so ugly, but she still remembered the purpose of her coming today, so she echoed: "The old lady doesn't say it, I also have this intention, now the Guogong Mansion is not as big as before, the family is big, there are many affairs in the inner house, and the things outside are also complicated, I still have to help my sister take care of the dowry shop she left behind, Zhuangzi, it is indeed a little too busy, I can have someone to help, no matter how good it is!" ”

Old Madam Bai didn't seem to expect that the Lu family would be willing to hand over the housekeeping so quickly, she was a little surprised, but she was still very happy, and felt that the Lu family was finally interested, so she nodded and said, "It's naturally good that you can be so reasonable." The Bai family will prosper in the future, and it is really not easy for you to be busy alone! ”

Lu was secretly happy in his heart, and with one sentence, Old Madam Bai changed her attitude and began to praise her. This old woman is really greedy for power, and she wants to share her own power! But I'm afraid you'll regret it then!

However, on the face, the Lu family said very humbly: "Thank you for the compassion of the old lady, the daughter-in-law is young in the end, and she still relies on your guidance and help in many things!" ”

These words made Mrs. Bai happy in her heart, people are old, and they can't stand being coaxed by others, Lu is now a good learner, and a series of blows made her see it very clearly, she can't offend this old woman clearly, otherwise she will fall into isolation and helplessness at home. Those things before, if it weren't for the old lady's intentional or unintentional bias towards white hibiscus, how could she have been deflated again and again?

Bai Mujin looked at the Lu family, and naturally knew what she was thinking. It is not so easy to embrace the stewardship to please the old lady and rebuild the old good. There are some things that once you hand them over, it's hard to get them back.

It's impossible for the Lu clan not to think about this, I'm afraid she will pay more attention than that, right? Mu Xinping wants to gain a firm foothold in the Bai family, where the Lu family has been entrenched for ten years, and wants to get involved in power, it is not an easy thing, just look at how they show their powers!

As for Bai Muhibiscus's thoughts, how to take back the property left by her mother, it was all her and Bai Muchen's support, and if she tossed the Lu family like this, I was afraid that it would not be long before there would be an empty shell.

was thinking about it, but I heard the mandarin duck report, saying that a set of noodles had been sent in Linglong Fang, and asked if I wanted to see it now.

The words were said in front of a room of people, and Lu felt a little bad when he heard the words Linglong Fang, but he didn't know what Bai Mu Hibiscus had in mind, so he went to Linglong Fang to order jewelry privately.

Then he asked with concern: "Jin'er, I see that you are very simple to dress up at home on weekdays, how can you customize your head and face by yourself?" I heard that the value of a set of noodles in Linglong Fang is not low, if you lack anything, just tell your mother, which year I didn't prepare in advance and send it to you, why should you break the bank yourself! ”

Obviously she cares about Bai Hibiscus, and she feels sorry for her spending money to buy things. Secretly, she is accusing Bai Muhibiscus of wasting silver, not knowing how to be thrifty, and obviously has the jewelry prepared for her at home, and she has to go out and buy it at a large price.

Bai Mujin didn't care, only smiled and said: "This is not for me to buy, the jewelry that my mother gave me, I can't use it, where do I need to buy it, this is what I specially ordered for my cousin." She is newly married, how can I not say something, I look good at this set of mutton fat and Tian Yu's head, so I will buy it and add makeup to my cousin! ”

As soon as these words came out, not only did the Lu family make a mess, but also flattered Mrs. Bai and Mu Xinping, and they all praised Bai Mujian in their hearts for being sensible.

Bai Mu Hibiscus, quickly asked the mandarin duck to get the head, and then said: "This jade is of excellent quality, can my cousin like it?" ”

The brocade box was opened, and the warm luster was even more charming against the red flannel, and Mu Xinping was happy to see it, this set of heads and faces was worth a lot of money. Hurriedly said to Bai Mujin: "Jin'er, you are too wasteful, and you have to accept your gifts as an elder, which is really embarrassing for me!" ”

"What my cousin said, it's all a family, your mother's family is also us, and your mother-in-law's family is also us, this is a kiss and a kiss, this little gift, although it is not worth anything, but it is also a piece of Jin'er's heart, you accept it!" Hibiscus pushed the box into her hand.

Seeing that Mu Xinping was about to refuse, Mrs. Bai spoke: "Take it, Jin'er can fall in love with you like this, I am happy to see it!" ”

Mu Xinping smiled and accepted it and asked Xue'er to put it away. Mama Sun said inadvertently: "This Linglong Fang has been very strong in recent years, even Mrs. Yuan's treasure Zhai is down, and the eldest lady is really, why don't you even take care of your own business, but you want to patronize other shops?" ”

Bai Hibiscus's face was stunned, it seemed a little ugly, and the old lady Bai also looked at Bai Hibiscus in surprise, because the old lady had rarely gone out in recent years, so she didn't know the current situation of Zhenbao Zhai, and suddenly said with some displeasure: "Jin'er, what Grandma Sun said is that her own shop is also made of jewelry, why do you want to go to Linglong Fang to order?" ”

Bai Mujin also seemed to have the intention to conceal it, glanced at the Lu family, and said: "Grandmother, don't ask, but a set of noodles, where to buy it is not the same!" You have the right to watch me fresh! ”

It's okay not to say this, but the more she said it, the more suspicious Mrs. Bai became, so she wrinkled her brows and said: "No, you don't look like such a disproportionate person, Zhenbao Zhai's jewelry is well-known in the capital, and I haven't heard of the name Linglongfang in the early years, what's going on?" ”

Lu's eyes were a little dodgy, looking at Bai Hibiscus, as if she was observing whether she had found anything, but she didn't dare to interject, she was a stupid child when Bai Hibiscus was a stupid child, so she did a lot of tricks behind her back, Linglong Fang was naturally opened by her secretly, she thought she was doing it seamlessly, but she didn't want Bai Hibiscus to find out in the end.

Bai Mujin sighed and said embarrassedly: "Grandmother, it's not that Jin'er doesn't want to buy it in the shop at home, it's just that you haven't gone out for a long time, and I don't know where the treasure Zhai has fallen today. I was also helpless to run to the opposite Linglong Fang to set this set of heads! ”

As soon as Old Madam Bai heard this, she understood most of her heart, looked at Lu's eyes with a little sharpness, and sneered: "Zhenbao Zhai is such a good shop, you can manage it like this?" ”

Lu hurriedly explained: "Old lady, you don't know, this matter is wronged, it's not that I am not careful, but the craftsmen are broken, and Linglong Fang has been renovated in recent years, and we are squeezed everywhere Zhenbao Zhai, so the business of Zhenbao Zhai that has been suppressed is becoming more and more difficult to do, and this is also a helpless thing!" ”

The craftsman is broken? Good reason, Bai Mujian smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but said ignorantly: "It's strange to say, I look at the jewelry in Linglong Fang, whether it is design or work, it is somewhat similar to our treasure Zhai before, could it be that our craftsman skills have been stolen and learned?" ”

This matter is serious, how can any craftsman easily pass on his skills to outsiders, they are all passed down from generation to generation, and they are inherited in the same vein. Who is not afraid of others stealing their jobs, they all say that they taught their apprentices and starved their masters to death, which is a rule that will never be changed in the industry.

Old Madam Bai no longer understands things, and she also knows that there is something strange about this, and her eyes staring at the Lu family are becoming more and more fierce, she has not been in charge for a long time, it seems that the Lu family has done a lot of good things behind her back.

It's just that now she can't come up with evidence, so naturally she can't blame the Lu family, so she only kept an eye on it, and said: "You don't guess, how can a craftsman steal his craft to others, and when Xinping passes the door, you also have to learn to be a housekeeper, so start with the dowry left by your mother, after all, it is you and Chen'er, Chen'er is a man, naturally you can't take care of these trivial matters, you help him take care of it first!" ”

When Lu heard this, he felt that something was wrong, so he said aggrievedly: "The old lady blames me for not taking good care of my sister's dowry?" I've done my best all these years, and I haven't even been careful with my sister in my dowry shop, if I say that, then I'm really going to be wronged! ”

"What wronged you again?" Bai Shizu appeared outside the door at some point, and as soon as he heard the aggrieved voice of the Lu family, he asked.
