Chapter 248: Bullying one point, a hundred times back
However, since Bai Hibiscus made a post and prepared to drink and feast, her heart has settled down a lot, as long as she can calculate her family affairs, everything Bai Mu Hibiscus took from her in the future will be returned.
Let her be proud for the time being! Lu sneered in his heart, but soon he still had to worry about those land and property deeds that couldn't be sold!
In the Yiqin Pavilion, the mandarin duck looked at Bai Mujian in surprise and asked, "Miss, you also sent a post to the Chu County Palace?" Why? ”
"How can I say that I can become the county lord, and the Chu County Mansion is also indispensable, how can I not invite them to share the joy of this county lord?" Bai Hibiscus said it as a matter of course.
The mandarin duck pouted slightly, and said, "The slave maid is annoyed when she thinks of their faces, but ...... I guess they're not that thick-skinned, right? I don't think I can come! ”
"That's not necessarily, if you want to take revenge, you can't always avoid the enemy, the king of Chu Jun is not the kind of person who will silently endure a loss!" Bai Hibiscus calmed down.
When the mandarin duck heard this, he was about to be anxious, and said worriedly: "Why did the young lady invite them here?" Can't we avoid them? ”
Bai Mujin looked at the mandarin ducks amusedly and asked, "Why are you avoiding them?" This is the same in the capital, he is the king of the county, I am the lord of the county, I don't see you when you look up, even if we don't invite them this time, what if they want to invite us next time? Or...... What about the feast in the palace? ”
The mandarin duck was secretly annoyed when she thought about it, and thought with a sad face, in the end, this grudge was settled, but the young lady was already embattled at home, and now there was a strong enemy of the Chu County Mansion outside, how should this be good?
Bai Muhibiscus knew her thoughts at a glance, sighed, and said: "Mandarin duck, there are some hatreds that you can't hide from if you endure them, although I don't want to grudge more, but it doesn't mean that I'm afraid, don't worry, whoever dares to bully us, I will only double it back!" ”
"That is to say, Sister Mandarin Duck, you are too timid and afraid, he is the king of the county, and the young lady is the lord of the county, the same grade, why be afraid of them, not to mention that the old lady is the cousin of the emperor today, who is afraid of whom!" The magpie looked disappreroving, and now they could almost walk sideways up and down the Guogong Mansion.
Thinking of those who bullied them in the past, they are now respectful and afraid of her and the mandarin ducks, and they almost laugh to death. There are also Lu and Bai Yunxi, one was forced to go into debt, the other was grounded, no one could jump, the Guogong Mansion has never been so quiet!
Mandarin Duck is still a little worried, she is not as heartless as a magpie, she will inevitably think about things more, no matter how powerful the young lady is, she is only a county lord, not as powerful as the king of Chu County, and the king of Chu County also has the support of the queen mother.
If you really come to seek revenge, it's okay to be clear, but secretly playing tricks, Miss is a woman, in the end, she will be constrained everywhere, she is not at ease.
"Mandarin duck, do you think I shouldn't be an enemy of the Chu County Palace, or...... Should I apologize and apologize as my father and grandmother said? Bai asked.
The mandarin duck hurriedly shook his head and said, "That's not what the slave and maid mean, the slave and maid...... is worried that they will change their ways to harm you in the future, even if the mandarin duck fights for his life, it doesn't matter, but he must not watch the young lady be injured at all! ”
"That's it, what are we afraid of? You are not even afraid of death, and I am the same, since I am willing to lose my life, who can do anything to us? You remember, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come, and only if you are not afraid of anything, they will not be able to do anything against me! Bai Mu Hibiscus said.
Mandarin duck seems to understand something, Miss used to be timid and cowardly, and was bullied by Lu's mother and son everywhere, but she still stupidly said good things for them, she was anxious in her eyes, and she wished that Miss could be a little hot one day and teach those three heartless lessons.
Later, Miss suddenly figured it out, she was no longer afraid of them, although she was also framed by the three of Lu's mother and son repeatedly, but she never succeeded, Miss is not like before, she knows how to protect herself, and she knows how to fight back against the enemy.
The mandarin duck nodded firmly, but still said: "Miss, your life is precious, if they want to move a single hair of you, they must first step on the slave maid!" ”
The magpie also hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "The slave and maid are too, swear to protect the young lady to the death!" ”
Bai Mujian's throat was a little tight, these two girls, whether in their previous life or in this life, had fulfilled their oaths and had never betrayed her at the last moment of their lives, so those people really stepped on their corpses before harming her!
Bai Mu Hibiscus lowered his eyes slightly, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were firm and decisive: "Don't worry, no one wants to hurt you this time!" ”
After experiencing her previous life, she has long since stopped treating the mandarin duck and the magpie as slaves, in her eyes, these two people are her sisters, and they are the people she also has to protect.
The mandarin duck and the magpie were slightly surprised, what do you mean by "this time"? Has there ever been a time when they have been hurt? But I didn't pay attention to this small detail, probably just a slip of the tongue by the young lady!
The newly promoted county lord of Anping held a banquet in the Guogong Mansion, and in addition to those who had already received the post, there were many people who had no contact with the Ningguo Mansion who were also thinking of getting a post.
Without him, just because he wanted to block the demeanor of the county lord who had been in the limelight recently, it was more important to send someone to find out what kind of person the county lord of Anping was.
Therefore, on the day of the banquet in the Guogong Mansion, the number of guests greatly exceeded the expectations of the Guogong Mansion. Even Bai Muhibiscus was a little surprised, although she had long known that many forces were curious about her, but she never thought that there would be so many people who had no intersection before.
However, this banquet was mainly organized by Mrs. Lu sent her eldest aunt Qin, and the Lu family often set up banquets to entertain guests, but they were also relatively well prepared and did not show timidity.
No matter how reluctant the Lu family and Mrs. Bai were, they also had to put on a smiling face to welcome guests on this day, Mrs. Bai's mood was actually very complicated, since the death of the old prince, the Bai family rarely had such a lively scene, although the banquet on weekdays can also invite a lot of people, but they are all guests of comparable status.
Where is it like today, even the prince has come several, not to mention the princess and county lord, who came as if they didn't need money. Even if she is a first-class fate, it is rare to see so many dignitaries.
The people of the four major families came uninvited, and the Lu family and the Xie family were okay to say, after all, they were related to the county lord of Anping, but the Wang family and the Xue family couldn't beat them on weekdays, and they didn't know how to come to the door.
Although it is said that the county lord is noble, but in the eyes of these old families, it is not enough to see, which prince and grandson they have not seen, and the four major families will more or less have an in-law relationship with the royal family, they do not marry their daughters to the royal family, and the royal family will also marry their daughters to them, but it is just to win the hearts of the family.
Bai Hibiscus didn't do much, just stood there with a proper smile, greeted people, and replied with a few corresponding polite words, which still made her a little tired.
Because there were a lot of male guests, Bai Muchen was also pulled back to help entertain, although he was still young, he was much calmer, and with Lu Qingyun's help, there was nothing wrong.
Bai Shizu, as the father of the county lord, naturally had to come forward to entertain guests, and in the face of everyone's congratulations, Bai Shizu didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
He has been a prince of the country for so many years, and no one has paid attention to him, and he also secretly hated why his father handed over all the military power in his old age, so that he had the title of the prince of the country, but he had no real power at all.
In a place like the capital, the prince grabs a handful, and the little prince, if he has no power or power, who will look at you more? But his daughter is just a county lord, although he has a fief, but it is not rare in the capital, but he has attracted the attention of so many nobles at once, which makes him feel sour.
Although he still smiled and welcomed people in order not to let others see the jokes, he wanted to hide in the room and ignore these excitements that did not belong to him.
However, Bai Shizu's little melancholy was quickly diluted, because there were a few people from the family who would not easily talk to him on weekdays took the initiative to come to him, and they seemed to be very modest.
What surprised him the most was that his boss, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also came to the door in person, and said a few words of compliment to him, faintly revealing that he wanted to cultivate him as his successor.
Bai Shizu finally felt that he had benefited from his daughter's promotion, and after a turn of thought, he felt that he should make good use of his daughter's status as the county lord to seek benefits for himself and the Bai family.
The situation on the old lady's side is roughly like this, of course, because the county lord is holding a banquet, and there are more female guests who come, so the situation on the old lady's side is far better than that of Bai Shizu, and the old sisters in her early years were all better married than her, which made her lose face, but this time they all coincidentally picked herself up.
This made the old lady a little fluttering, feeling that although Bai Muhibiscus was disobedient, she could still be used, after all, no matter how old she was, she was also her granddaughter, even if she was the county lord, could she still disrespect her father and grandmother?
In contrast, Lu's situation is much worse, and she herself can't understand why the old lady is sought after, why her mother is treated coldly.
Of course she didn't know that these people who deliberately held the old lady were all married ideas, some for their own families, some for other families with related interests, which of these is not a human spirit. all know that now Lu's stepmother is a dispensable ornament in the eyes of the lord of Anping County, and there is no room for meddle in family affairs.
Lu was very depressed for a while, and it wasn't until Lu Zhaoan came with Hu that she felt better. hurriedly greeted her, and Hu Shi gave her a reassuring look.
After a while, I saw Hu's sister-in-law Zhou come up with a smile, Hu's brother is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but he is a five-grade pen poster, not a big official, and her edict is far inferior to the Lu family. So when they met, they also gave Lu a big gift.
Lu hurriedly raised his hand to help him up, and said, "Sister-in-law is polite, it's all my own family!" ”
Zhou didn't pretend to be a gesture, but just said with a smile: "Thank you Duchess Guo, it's the first time that the concubine can participate in the royal banquet, this must be the lord of Anping, right?" ”
Zhou looked at Bai Yunxi beside Lu, and asked with a smile, she was about to salute, but she was helped by Hu, and she was shocked to realize that she had recognized the wrong person.
