Chapter Forty-Six: Meeting at Baohua Building (Part II)
With the creak of the vermilion lacquered sandalwood door, Liang Bairou paced in a long skirt with a snow satin placket, wearing a silver cloak, heavy makeup, and a smile like a flower.
greeted him with a shallow smile: "I don't know what happened when Hai Niang sent someone to send a letter to my little sister?"
Xue Hainiang smiled lightly, raised her hand to pour tea for Liang Bairou, and motioned for her to sit down, "In a while, it will be the full moon banquet of my little prince of Xue Mansion, and Sister Liang will be invited to appreciate her face at that time." ”
Liang Bairou glanced at her, raised her eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "With the friendship between the Xue family and the Liang family, there will inevitably be a little girl who will send an invitation to the Liang Mansion at that time, why do you need Hainiang to go there in person...... Say, you're looking for me today, but you're in trouble?"
Her intelligence and transparency made Xue Hainiang almost lose her laughter, she took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Sister Liang Bingxue is smart, Hai Niang's clumsy plan really can't hide Sister Liang's discernment." ”
Xue Hainiang didn't beat around the bush with her, and directly clarified her intentions: "I heard earlier that Mrs. Liang and Lord Liang's favorite concubine Xia have a lot of discord, but is this so?"
Liang Bairou picked up the cup, took a sip, and her long and curly eyelashes covered the confusion that swept through her eyes, but she still answered truthfully: "Although I have been in the mansion for a short time, the smoke between Mrs. Liang and the Xia family is also really felt, but it is not a false rumor from the outside world. ”
Xue Hainiang's eyes flashed slightly, and her lips rose slightly invisibly, "I don't know if Sister Liang can agree to Hai Niang's matter......"
Seeing Liang Bairou bowing her head slightly, she said: "On the day of the full moon banquet of the little prince of Xue Mansion, can Sister Liang do her best to persuade Mrs. Liang to go to the banquet with the Xia family." ”
Liang Bairou was stunned, but she didn't come to her senses for a long time, she opened her bright watery eyes, and was stunned for a long time before saying, "Can you dare to ask Hai Niang why?"
Although she was clearly named Miss Liangfu and the identity of the draft girl, no one in the mansion dared to bully her and insult her, but the Xia family and Mrs. Liang have always been arrogant and domineering, how could they listen to her little concubine?
Xue Hainiang knew the difficulty of this matter, and when she saw Liang Bairou frowning slightly, her expression was suspicious, which was also expected by her.
"I also know that this matter is difficult, Hai Niang still has a plan, and there is no need for Sister Liang to ......come forward in person," Xue Hainiang motioned for Liang Bairou to come over, and then whispered softly.
......
It had been an hour since the Baohua Tower came out, and the endless sky was already rendered by a light glow red.
After saying goodbye to Liang Baiju, Xue Hainiang and Mingxi left in the dome treasure cover sandalwood carriage.
The silence in the carriage is particularly eerie.
Mingxi, who has always been chattering and cheerful, is rarely quiet along the way, as if this girl has been so silent since she came out of Baohua Building.
"Do you have something on your mind?" Xue Hainiang leaned on the soft collapse, her eyes closed slightly, and her expression was lazy.
Mingxi was stunned, her expression was slightly stunned, and she said in a hesitant voice: "What, how come, Miss is afraid that she is too careful." ”
Xue Hainiang raised her eyelids lightly, and her inquiring gaze fell on Mingxi's unnatural face, "I'd rather I be too careful...... However, you and I grew up together, and I have always known you, and if it weren't for the heavy worries, you would never be like this. ”
Mingxi didn't seem to expect Xue Hainiang to say this, and was stunned for a while before saying: "Miss knows a lot about slaves and maids, but slaves and maids don't seem to have seen through Miss's ......" I don't know when she actually felt that Xue Hainiang was very unfamiliar.
Xue Hainiang's breathing was faintly sluggish, and the slender fingers that habitually played with a strand of hair also paused, she closed her eyes lightly, and only after a while did a light smile appear on the corner of her mouth, "Then you say, am I good now, or is it not good?"
Mingxi fell into deep thought again.
In her impression, the young lady who is almost a childhood sweetheart with her, does not smile, has a cowardly but very righteous temperament, and has a good heart but does not lose a pair of eyes that perceive right and wrong; now, this woman with a lotus tongue, a treacherous mind, an incomprehensible mind, and even an empty eye, is it really the young lady who has known her since childhood?
But if it's really good or bad, how can she know how to measure it?
"The slave and the maid are dull, and the slave and the maid do not know. ”
Xue Hainiang was speechless for a while, and in a moment, her eyes had moved to the window, and when she looked from the side, she had a good contour, her powder was lightly powdered, and her red lips stained with lipstick rose slightly.
She is convinced that one day Mingxi will definitely measure a good and a good heart.
Back at Furong Garden, Xue Hainiang took Mingxi to the Splendid Pavilion without grooming and changing.
When I came to the Splendid Pavilion, I happened to see the Xu family hugging Zu'er and coaxing it, and the jade face that was as white as jade bloomed with a full and loving smile.
The sound of light but orderly steps came, and the Xu family still did not hand Zu'er to the nurse, but stepped forward with a smile and bowed, "The concubine has seen the eldest lady, and the eldest lady has become more and more empty in recent days." ”
Xue Hainiang covered her lips and chuckled, and sat on the chaise longue chair, "Auntie said that she laughed, Hainiang will have to enter the palace in a while, and Japan is the busiest these days." I was supposed to stay in Furong Garden to pick up clothes and jewelry, but I thought that the day after tomorrow would be Zu'er's full moon banquet, so I thought about coming and taking a look. ”
Xu Shi hugged Zu'er to the nurse, and then sat in front of Xue Hainiang, her black hair was half pulled, her eyebrows were delicate, and she did not apply powder, but she was a little more dusty.
"Madame also came to the concubine early this morning, saying that she was discussing with the concubine about preparing for the full moon banquet and other matters, and that Mrs. and Miss attach so much importance to the concubine and Zu'er, which is the blessing of the concubine and Zu'er. ”
Rao is now giving birth to Lin'er, she has become the most beautiful person in the house, but the humility between gestures and words has not diminished at all, which makes Xue Hainiang look down on her a little, if she didn't know that she was a poisonous snake with a vicious mind and ready to attack, she would really be coaxed by her.
"Zu'er is my own brother, and my blood is connected, and my mother is also Zu'er's mother-in-law, it is reasonable for her to run around, moreover, this full moon banquet, as expected, my father is afraid that he will invite the Quartet, and at that time, there will be a face in the capital of the lady and lady who are afraid that they will come to the banquet, and the mother is afraid that something will go wrong, and it is reasonable to Zhang Luo a few times. Xue Hainiang smiled lightly, but it was extremely perfunctory.
Xu's eyes flashed slightly, she lowered her eyes, and her voice was suspicious, "It's just a full moon banquet, besides, the lord has always been honest, I'm afraid that the eldest lady is wrong this time......"
Xue Hainiang raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "My father has always cherished my children, and my ancestor is the only male in Xue's mansion, and he has a son in middle age, and his father is in pain. ”
Xu Shi smiled quite modestly and lowered his eyes, making it difficult for people to spy on the emotions in her eyes, "Listen to Miss's words, the concubine is also at ease, the concubine is born poor, I don't want my ancestor to be glorious in the future, but I can ask him to be healthy for a lifetime." ”
