Chapter 9: The Princes of the Inner Palace, the White Old Lady
Wuhou Mansion;
Inner Courtyard;
Several women gathered under the porch to discuss.
"What are you doing?"
At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind them, and several women who were discussing it were suddenly silent when they heard it, and hurriedly turned back and saluted.
"I've seen the housekeeper and the young grandmother."
The person who came was dressed in red, with a red ribbon tied around his waist to show his slender waist, looking more than 20 years old, with a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, a charming face, and skin like snow..... A pair of narrow and cold Danfeng eyes give people a sense of shrewdness and sharpness that is not easy to speak.
It was Bai Feifeng, the housekeeper of the Wuhou Mansion.
Bai Feifeng's specific identity is the daughter-in-law of Bai Lian, the second master of the Wuhou Mansion, and Bai Yu's wife, who is smart and clever, capable of doing things, and able to speak, so she is deeply liked by Bai Lao Taijun, and the affairs of the mansion are also managed and controlled by her on weekdays, and she is known as the housekeeper and young grandmother.
And for the title of housekeeper and young grandmother, it has always been Bai Feifeng's favorite proudness.
Hearing the names of several women, Bai Feifeng's face softened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then asked again.
"What were you guys talking about?"
"Are you chewing on the root of your tongue again?"
Behind Bai Feifeng, there were two maids who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were also very symbolic, named Yao'er and Bi'er respectively, and then asked sharply, with a pungent energy.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Several women waved their hands and said they didn't dare, and then told the truth.
"We were just discussing the matter of Brother Xian'er?"
"Brother Xian'er?"
Bai Feifeng frowned when he heard this, and he didn't hear who it was for a while.
Although Bai Yuxian has some fame in the Bai family, it is only limited to the subordinates of the outer mansion and the side of the Bai family, for Bai Feifeng, the core real power figures of the inner mansion, it is like that, how can he usually bother to pay attention to the little things in the outer mansion.
"Brother Xian is Bai Yuxian, the son of General Bai Qingfeng Bai back then, he passed the county and government exams last year, and as long as he passes the hospital exam again this year, he will be able to get the fame of Xiucai....."
Seeing that Bai Feifeng didn't seem to remember who Brother Xian'er was talking about, a woman hurriedly explained.
"It turned out to be him."
This time Bai Feifeng finally remembered, she was not very familiar with Bai Yuxian had never seen it, but she still heard of Bai Yuxian's father Bai Qingfeng, after all, Bai Qingfeng was still very famous in the Bai family back then, both civil and military, and he led the army at a young age.
In the Bai family, which has seen more and more decline over the years, Bai Qingfeng can be described as a standout, and he is definitely the most prominent figure in the Bai family in the past hundred years, but unfortunately died young.
"What's wrong with Brother Xian'er?"
"Brother Xian'er entered the martial arts hall yesterday, we all said that Brother Xian'er is both civil and military, and the tiger father has no dogs, maybe he will be a general of Bai Qingfeng in the future...."
Several women immediately told Bai Yuxian about Bai Yuxian with one word at a time.
Bai Feifeng's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly when he heard this, and after listening to a few women, he suddenly felt that Bai Yuxian was really good, the most important thing is that when Bai Laojun waits, he can talk about this matter as a new topic.
Not long after, in the garden of the inner house, there were warblers and swallows, laughter and laughter......
The first one with white hair and looking more than sixty years old, but in good spirits, dressed luxuriously, holding a longevity crutch is the highest-ranking white old lady in the Wuhou Mansion.
Bai Lao Taijun is the mother of Bai Zheng, the head of the Bai family, in addition to the other two sons Bai Lian and Bai He, known as Bai Erye and Bai Sanye, are also the main actual rulers of the Bai family's family in Wuhou Mansion today, and at the same time, she is also the wife of the imperial court, so Bai Laotaijun enjoys a transcendent status in the Bai family, especially the affairs in the Wuhou Mansion, which are basically Bai Laotaijun's words and are in charge of the entire Bai family in Wuhou Mansion.
After Mrs. Bai is Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Mi, three middle-aged beauties, among the three, Mrs. Wang is the wife of Bai Zheng, the head of the Bai family, and Mrs. Wupin of the imperial court, and her status is second only to Bai Lao Taijun among the female dependents in the Bai family, followed by Mrs. Zhou is the wife of Bai Lian, the second master of Bai, and Mrs. Mi is the wife of Bai He, the third master of Bai.
After that, Bai Qian, Bai Qian, Bai Yue, Bai Xue, Bai Lan and Han Shiyin are the six young ladies in the inner mansion, among the six Bai Qian and Bai Qian, Bai Qian and Bai Qian were born to Mrs. Wang, Bai Yue and Bai Xue were born to Mrs. Zhou, and Bai Lan was born to Mrs. Mi.
Han Shiyin is the niece of Bai Lao Taijun, because her mother passed away and her father was sent to Lingnan to be an official, so she has been living in the Bai family, but Han Shiyin has a well-behaved and sensible personality, and is proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is very beautiful, so she is deeply liked by Bai Taijun, so although she lives in the Bai family, she also has a high status.
In this way, coupled with some of the maids present, there are more than 20 people in the whole garden, and except for the old lady Bai, they are basically beautiful, even if they are already a few years old, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Mi, because the pampered life of the Hou Mansion is not very old, but it adds to the sexy charm of a mature woman.
In addition, among the ladies in these gardens, there was a boy who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was also the most eye-catching.
The young man's eyebrows are clear, a little powder, dressed up a little more beautiful than a woman, obviously a man's body, but always gives people a kind of women's squeamishness and femininity, surrounded by the warblers and Yanyan in the center, competing to please, like the stars and the moon.
And the identity of the young man is nothing else, it is the younger generation of the Bai family, Bai Zheng, the head of the Bai family, and Bai Yusheng, the son of Mrs. Wang.
It is rumored that Bai Yusheng was born with a vision, full of red light, and a piece of psychic jade jade, when he was born, there happened to be a monk of Guangfo Temple in the house, saying that Bai Yusheng is the reincarnation of the heavenly immortals, and the future will be unspeakably expensive.
Therefore, after being born, Bai Yusheng was loved by thousands of people in the entire Hou Mansion, especially Bai Lao Taijun, who was even more pampered, and firmly believed that Bai Yusheng was the future of the entire Wuhou Mansion.
Bai Yusheng is indeed a little competitive, he has shown great intelligence since he was a child, he was literate at the age of three, he read at the age of five, and he began to write poems by himself at the age of nine.
At this time, Bai Feifeng came from the corridor, looked at the Yingying Yanyan, the laughter and laughter, and walked towards the old lady Bai to say goodbye.
"The old lady is safe."
"Feng girl is here."
Everyone's eyes also fell on Bai Feifeng, who arrived.
"I've seen Madame, Miss, and Young Master Yusheng."
Bai Feifeng saluted the others one by one.
"How is the situation in Fuchu today?"
Old Lady Bai asked Bai Feifeng as usual.
"Old Taijun rest assured, everything is fine in the house, with your good fortune and high light, the house is naturally harmonious and everything is healthy." Bai Feifeng said with a smile.
"You're going to say something nice."
Old Taijun Bai couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, but although she said so, she was very useful to Bai Feifeng's words in her heart.
"Sister Feng'er's mouth is sweet."
Mrs. Mi next to her answered, but she thought in her heart that Bai Feifeng's mouth was not just sweet.
How powerful Bai Feifeng's mouth is, no one in this mansion knows.
"By the way, speaking of Fuchu, I got something new this morning." Bai Feifeng said again.
"Oh, what's new, let's hear about it." Mrs. Bai and everyone suddenly became interested, although they were the ladies of the Houmen who had no worries about food and clothing on weekdays, and they were pampered, but they were inevitably bored after a long time, and in this case, they naturally had to gossip.
Seeing that Mrs. Bai and everyone were interested, Bai Feifeng immediately continued.
"I don't know if the old lady still remembers Bai Qingfeng and General Bai."
"Qingfeng."
Bai Lao Taijun nodded, she naturally remembered Bai Qingfeng, after all, Bai Qingfeng was indeed outstanding at the beginning, and it can be said that he was the most outstanding one in the Bai family in the past hundred years, but unfortunately he died young.
However, for Bai Qingfeng's death back then, Bai Lao Taijun didn't feel too pity, after all, it was only a collateral line, and even to be honest, when Bai Qingfeng died, she was still a little happy in her heart, because if Bai Qingfeng hadn't died back then, with Bai Qingfeng's performance back then, it was really hard to say who was in charge of the Bai family now.
In terms of personal interests, if the collateral is too prominent, it may not be a good thing for the descendants of the main family.
"Could it be that this matter has something to do with the dead Bai Qingfeng?" Mrs. Wang, who had not spoken, spoke.
"Madame, do you still remember that after the unfortunate death of General Bai Qingfeng, there was a son Bai Yuxian."
Mrs. Wang bowed slightly when she heard this, she did have a little impression of this, but it was all many years ago, and she didn't pay attention to Bai Qingfeng's family since Bai Qingfeng's death.
"I also just learned about this, it is said that this fairy brother is also extraordinary, not only last year, even passed the county exam, the government exam, as long as the next hospital exam can get the fame of Xiucai, and it is said that last night he also successfully entered the martial arts hall......."
"Now the outer courtyard says that this fairy brother is both civil and military, and the tiger father has no dog."
"Oh."
Everyone immediately understood when they heard this, although they were not clear about the specific situation of cultivation, but they also knew that it was not easy to enter the martial arts hall, and if they could enter the martial arts hall, it would mean that Bai Yuxian's martial arts talent was definitely not low, and after passing the county examination and the government examination, he was only short of the next college examination to obtain the fame of Xiucai, and he was only eighteen years old and less than the age of a weak crown.
In this way, it can indeed be called both civil and military.
"Both civil and military."
This is, Bai Yusheng, who was among the warblers and swallows on the side, couldn't help but chuckle, his face couldn't help showing a trace of disdain, and he was also a little unhappy in his heart.
is only a side line, and it is also worthy of both civil and military affairs.
If you want to talk about literature, he has already passed the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination when he was fifteen years old two years ago and has won the reputation of Xiucai, Bai Yuxian does not say whether he can pass the next college examination, even if he can pass, he is already eighteen years old and three years older than him before he can get the fame of Xiucai, how can he compare with him.
As for Wu.
Vulgar martial arts, what he doesn't look down on the most are those old and coarse, full of stinky sweat, above the court, it is not the literati who are really in power.
Bai Feifeng also observed his words, and when he saw Bai Yusheng's performance, he immediately changed his tone again.
"Of course, this is all said by the people below, this Bai Yuxian does have some talent, but it also has to be compared to whom, compared with others, that Bai Yuxian is naturally good, but compared with Young Master Yusheng, it is naturally fireflies and Haoyue competing for glory."
"But I think, the reincarnation of the immortal of Young Master Yusheng is destined to be a great official in the future, but a person who is a great official must also need some subordinates who can be used by his side, since this Bai Yuxian has some natural talents, and he is a child of my Bai family, in this case, it is a good thing, if this Bai Yuxian really has the ability to enter the court, there will be one more available person under Young Master Yusheng in the future."
"Well, Feng girl's words are good, if this Bai Yuxian really wants to have the ability to enter the court, and he is a child of my Bai family, he can pay a little attention to it, so that in the future, when Yusheng enters the court, he can also have more available people."
Hearing this, Old Lady Bai immediately nodded in contemplation and approval.
Mrs. Wang, who was on the side, was also moved, and felt that Bai Feifeng's words made some sense, thinking that if this was the case, she could pay attention to it in the future, if Bai Yuxian was really talented, she could give some benefits in advance and accept it for Yusheng's future use, but for the time being, she was not in a hurry, and she would wait for the next hospital to see the situation before making a decision.
If Bai Yuxian passes the hospital exam, then it is not too late to win over and accept it, if he has not taken the exam, he naturally does not need to think about it again.
When Bai Yusheng heard this, the look on his face improved.
I thought that if I accepted it as a subordinate, it would be okay to be embarrassed.
