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 mourning, which is unlucky. But... But Miss Second, why did you have such a dress?" Bai Zhenzhen smiled so hard that she covered her stomach, "What am I saying? This is my real sister. We can even think of any color of clothes we wear 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 is so powerful in front of me, and she is timid when she gets outside. She becomes timid when she gets outside.
.What auspicious or not? She said that if you hold a funeral, she would just hold a funeral? Then I also said that because our family’s surname is Bai, my white dress means grandeur, which means that I attach more importance to her birthday. Besides, she is not my biological 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 from each other: Forget it, let's go! Today's Wenguo Duke's mansion is very lively, and the servants were allowed to wear bright clothes. The servants and servants all changed into new clothes. The maids and mothers were pink and green in all kinds of styles, and light makeup was painted on their faces. Some even used some incense, which not only looked gorgeous, but also had a faint fragrance.
It is really pleasing to the eye.
But no matter how bright the clothes are, they are ordinary materials. Although they are much better than the coarse cloth clothes of ordinary people, they are still not as valuable materials used by the masters. Allowing the 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 women from various palaces, but also countless male guests, all of whom are well-known figures in the capital, which are truly expensive
If you are lucky enough to be taken by a young master or a middle-aged man, you will have to go back to be a concubine, which will be 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 he kowtowed blood to Bai Jinghong. Now, although he is fine and the blood no longer flows, a shocking blood scar is still very despicable. Bai Huayan wore a pink long skirt today and her hair was tied into two balls. She looked very playful and cute from a distance. But the words she said were not as cute as she was: "Don't look in the mirror and see how scary you are. Today is your mother's birthday. If you come out like this, you won't be afraid of getting your mother's mold.
Head? I beg you to go back soon? If my mother sees you as unhappy, it wouldn'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 I heard that it was from the third lady's yard, Bai Huayan 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 my mother a birthday gift?"
The little maid dared to answer this, so she could only kneel on the ground and tremble constantly. Bai Zhenzhen cut it and raised her neck and asked, "What good things did the fifth sister and Aunt Ye give to her mother? If you want to 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! Fifth sister, don't hide it.
Let's talk about what you gave me?" Bai Huayan opened her mouth and wanted to retort this, but she didn't realize 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 took the gifts that the second wife gave to them. She didn't think too much at first, but now
I felt a little embarrassed when I was blocked by Bai Zhenzhen.
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 outsiders, and your surname is Ye, are close relatives. I am ignorant. It is the first time I have heard of this truth when I grow up so old." The two of them said and walked forward. At this time, Bai Xingyan, who was originally standing at the door of the mansion, was also attracted by the noise in the courtyard, and turned around and walked over here. While walking, he said unhappily: "What are you making a fuss? Don't look at what day it is, you can't teach them one by one.
keep!"
Bai Heran replied happily: "Father, it's the fifth sister who is 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 girl who burns fire, and I have no idea about the master's affairs.
Xiao!”
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 her father a month off to visit relatives. Now the deadline has not come. Are you holding your father accountable for such a thing?" Bai Huayan was both scared and annoyed, and was even more unwilling to be scolded by Bai. So she thought about it and said, "Even if there is a father's leave, she will not come back for such a big day, and she will look down on her mother. Looking down on her mother is also looking down on our Duke Wen's Mansion, and her daughter is also like this.
It's about holding a grudge for my 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 Dezhen Zhen 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 cursed fiercely: "Things with no conscience, wait
When the birthday party is over, you can get back to the Ye family and go back to your own house!”
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.
Ye and Bai Jinghong have also arrived at the front hall. Because it was Ye's birthday, the old lady specially gave up the position of the head and arrived later, so that Ye could sit in the head to receive the female guests. According to previous years, the male guests arrived directly in the front yard. Although the weather was a little cold, the people would prepare thick curtains to surround the seats. If the cold wind poured in, it would be much warmer. The females who accompanied him would gather in the front hall to meet Ye first, and then each other
The free servant led 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 wise skills could tell at a glance that it was in the palace.
The quality of Craftsman Pavilion and weaving and embroidery. As the niece of the empress dowager, Ye must show his unique identity as much as possible at this time, in order to warn the female relatives of the various prefectures who came to celebrate her birthday. She is 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 on her head, and there was a Bai Jinghong beside her. Today, Bai Jinghong was even more dazzling. She wore a long apricot yellow dress, which made her look elegant and more delicate. Bai Jinghong was very good at dressing up. She knew that her country was beautiful and beautiful. At the same time, she also knew that her beauty was too outstanding, which made people feel a sense of distance. She only dared to look far away but not close. So she specially wore a goose yellow dress, which made people look more delicate.
He also became more easy to get close to. Ye was very satisfied with his daughter's outfit 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...
