Chapter 72 Do You Need To Save Her Face?

"Do you want this coincidence?" Xiao E couldn't help but sigh first, "I just advised the fourth lady to tell her not to wear white for a long time, so as not to be said by the second lady to be like a funeral, which is unlucky. But... But Miss II, why have you been dressed like this?"

Bai Zhenzhen smiled so hard that she covered her stomach, "What am I saying? This is my real sister. Even the color of clothes we wear can be together." While saying that, she pointed Xiao E's head with her fingers, "You damn girl, you know that it's so powerful in the nest. She's so cool in front of me, and you're timid when you get outside. What auspicious or not, she said that if you hold a funeral, she'll hold a funeral? Then I also said that because our surname is Bai, my white dress represents solemnity, which means that I attach more importance to her birthday. Besides, she is not my real mother, and I have a bad relationship with her, so can I have to give her a face?"

Bai Heran agreed with the theory of "Bai Family's surname Bai" and nodded repeatedly and said, "That's the reason."

The maids felt that they could not control their ladies. The three of them looked at each other and saw the same message in each other's eyes: Forget it, let's go with them!

Today, the Duke Wenguo Mansion is very lively. The servants were allowed to wear bright clothes because of exception. The servants and servants all changed into new clothes. The maids and mothers were pink and green in all kinds of styles, with light makeup on their faces, and some even used some incense. Not only did they look gorgeous, but they also had a faint fragrance, which was really pleasing to the eye.

But no matter how bright the clothes are, they are still ordinary materials. Although they are much better than the coarse cloth clothes of ordinary people, they are still not as valuable materials as the owners.

Allowing servants to dress up is a grace held at the Ye family's birthday party every year. For many lively maids, this is an excellent opportunity, because there are many people coming from the mansion, not only female relatives from various mansions, but also countless male guests, all of whom are well-known figures in the capital, and they are real nobles. If you are lucky enough to be favored by a prince or a middle-aged master, you have to go back to be a concubine, which is their greatest blessing.

When Bai Heran and Bai Zhenzhen arrived, the front yard was already very lively. More than twenty banquet tables were placed around the yard. The maids were busy placing fruits and fruits on the table. Many fruits were not seen in Kyoto this season. I don’t know where they were transported here and how much money they spent.

Before the old lady arrived, Ye and Bai Jinghong also saw shadows. Bai Xingyan was already wearing a new dress and was standing at the door of the mansion and talking to the butler.

In addition, Xiao Ye and Bai Huayan have arrived early. Xiao Ye kowtowed Bai Jinghong a few days ago and kowtowed blood to Bai Jinghong. Now that the person is fine and the blood no longer flows, a shocking blood scar is still very despicable to press on his forehead.

Bai Huayan wore a pink long dress today, and her hair was tied into two balls. She looked very playful and cute from a distance. But the words she said were no longer close to the cute ones: "Don't look in the mirror to see how scary you are. Today is your mother's birthday. If you come out like this, don't you be afraid of touching your mother's bad head? I beg you to go back quickly? If your mother sees you as unhappy, it won't be better for me to follow you."

Xiao Ye raised his hand and touched the scar on his forehead, sighed softly and said, "If I don't show up, it's unruly. Otherwise, I'll find a way to cover it up and I won't cause trouble for you."

"Go away quickly!" Bai Huayan drove Xiao Ye away like a fly. She turned around and asked a maid beside her with a bitter movement: "Which courtyard are you from? You are clumsy in doing things."

The maid looked only twelve or thirteen years old. She was frightened by the roar. The fruit plate in her hand almost fell to the ground. "I am from the third lady's yard. I know my guilt. Please forgive me."

When Bai Huayan heard that it was from the third lady's yard, she became even more excited-"Oh, if you don't say it, I really can't remember that there is a third lady in the mansion. How many days have you not come back? Today is my mother's birthday party. Don't she and her charming mother plan to show up? She really treat herself as a dish. In my opinion, I want to escape from sending a birthday gift to my mother, right?"

The little maid dared not answer this, so she could only kneel on the ground and shivered.

Bai Zhenzhen cut it off, raised her neck and asked, "What good things did the fifth sister and Aunt Ye give to her mother? If you say that you are a dual relative, the gift you give should be more expensive than others. Only in this way can the closeness of the clan be demonstrated! Sister Fifth sister, don't hide it, tell me what you have given?"

Bai Huayan opened her mouth and wanted to retort this, but she didn't react until then. It seemed that she and her aunt had not prepared any gifts. Fei Dan had nothing to give to the second wife, and even gave them the gifts that the second wife gave to them. She didn't think too much at first, but now Bai Zhenzhen blocked her words and felt a little embarrassed.

However, Bai Huayan has always been thick-skinned, and she can be stubborn even if she ignores her. After realizing that she is in the wrong, she immediately shouted: "You have to care! We are close relatives, and we give it to you privately. How can we leave the useless mockery like you outsiders?"

"Oh." Bai Zhenzhen suddenly realized, "It turns out that our surname is an outsider. Your surname is Ye, is a close relative. I am ignorant. It is the first time I have heard of this truth when I grow up."

The two of them spoke while walking forward. At this time, Bai Xingyan, who was originally standing at the door of the mansion, was also attracted by the noise in the yard, and turned around and walked over here. While walking, he said unhappily: "What's the noise? Don't look at what day it is today, one by one is simply uneducated!"

Bai Heran replied happily: "Father, it was the fifth sister who was punishing a slave because the third sister and Aunt Lin did not come back to send a birthday gift to their mother."

Bai Xingyan didn't like to listen to Bai Heran's words, so he subconsciously wanted to take it back, but the little maid kneeling on the ground defended herself: "When the third lady and the others are back, I really don't know! I am just a fire-burning girl, and I have no way to know about my master!"

This confirmed Bai Heran's words. Bai Xingyan had to turn his anger to Bai Huayan's head and shouted loudly: "The unruly thing has given their father a month off to visit relatives. Now the deadline has not come. Are you holding your father accountable if you say such things?"

Bai Huayan was both afraid and annoyed, and was even more unwilling to be scolded by Bai. So she thought about it and said, "Even if there is a foreign leave given by her father, she will not come back for such a big day. She just looks down on her mother. She looks down on her mother, and her daughter is also holding on to her father."

"Huh?" Bai Heran raised his eyebrows, "Our Duke Wen's Mansion? The fifth sister just said that our surname is all outsiders. Are your surname Ye their own people? According to your logic, what should this Duke Wen's Mansion be named?" She looked confused, "It seems that the surname should be... Ye?"

"Nothing!" Bai Xingyan was so angry that he couldn't think of who to hit him for a long time, so he could only put it down again in embarrassment. But he pointed to Bai Huayan and said, "Get out to the backyard! Don't embarrass him here!"

"Father!" Bai Huayan was anxious, "I didn't, she wronged me!"

"Second sister didn't wrong you, I heard it too." Bai's Zhenzhen said to prove that Bai Xingyan believed it a little more.

He stared at Bai Huayan, and his anger towards the Ye family was all concentrated on this concubine's daughter who also had the blood of the Ye family. Fortunately, she still had reason and did not directly attack in the front yard where people were coming and going, but she still gritted her teeth and scolded fiercely: "Things that have no conscience, when the birthday party is over, you can get back to the Ye family and go back to your own home!"

At this time, a servant had already sang loudly at the gate of the mansion: "Minister Liu from the Ministry of Rites celebrated his second wife's birthday! Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Justice celebrated his second wife's birthday! Mr. Guan from the Ministry of Revenue celebrated his second wife's birthday!"

A series of guests arrived made Bai Xingyan no longer have time to pay attention to these daughters, and he just said, "Stay in the front hall!" Then he hurried to the door to entertain guests.

But when I walked to the door, I turned my head and looked at the backs of Bai Heran and Bai Zhenzhen, and I always felt something was wrong. But before I could think about it carefully, I was pulled over and greeted by the crowds of visitors.

At the front hall, Ye and Bai Jinghong had already arrived. Because it was Ye's birthday, the old lady specially gave up the position of the head of the head and arrived later, so that Ye could sit in the head of the head to receive the female guests.

According to previous years, the male guests came directly in the front yard. Although the weather was a little cool, the servants would prepare thick curtains to surround the seats. If the cold wind poured in, it would be much warmer. The female friends who accompanied him would gather in the front hall to meet Ye first, and then guided him to the banquet hall set up in the back house.

Ye was dressed very noble today. His clothes were peony-colored, with large peony flowers embroidered in front of him, and even his head was covered with hairpins with peony flowers. Whether it was clothes or jewelry, they were not ordinary items seen by ordinary nobles. People with discerning craftsmanship can tell at a glance that it was the quality of the skilled craftsman's pavilion and weaving and spinning in the palace. As the niece of the empress dowager, Ye must show his unique identity as much as possible, in this way, to warn the female relatives of the various prefectures who came to celebrate her birthday. She was not only the mistress of the Duke of Wenguo's mansion, but also the royal relatives who cannot be ignored.

She was not sitting alone in her head, but she was holding a Bai Jinghong beside her. Today, Bai Jinghong was even more amazingly bright. She was wearing an apricot yellow dress, which made her look elegant and more delicate.

Bai Jinghong is very good at dressing up. She knows that her country is beautiful and beautiful. At the same time, she also knows that her beauty is too outstanding, which makes people feel a sense of distance. She only dares to look far away but not close. So she specially wore a goose yellow dress, which made the person look more delicate and cute, and made him more easy to get close.

Ye was very satisfied with his daughter's dress and always had a smile on his face until he saw Bai Heran and the others come in. The smile that was originally piled on his face suddenly subsided...
