After the Republic of China

Chapter 21
Bai Lao Er sat in the hot room, drank the wine comfortably, but the words he said were cold-hearted.

After hearing this, Bai Erniang felt uncomfortable and didn't say anything.

Bai Shanzi doesn't like to work in Huaiyuan, and he is most dissatisfied with the eldest lady.

So, he immediately agreed with his father, "That's right, we are not the only ones who know about the Second Madam's moving house."

"You, you know?!" Bai Erniang was taken aback, the main house in the main courtyard was not something an aunt could live in.

Bai Shanzi rolled his eyes, "Isn't that damn girl Ximei the most fond of looking around for news, can she not know?"

Bai Laoer glanced at his son approvingly, and coldly snorted at his wife who was alone and stupefied: "You don't even have a child who can understand."

Bai Erniang felt that what her wife and son said was wrong, but she had nothing to say, so she just said nonchalantly: "After all, we are from Huaiyuan, and the eldest lady is our master. If something happens, no matter what, we should Let me know."

Bai Laoer frowned and looked at his wife, feeling that in the current situation, it's time to have a good talk with his wife.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to say what their family will be like in the future.

Then, he glanced at his son and daughter and saw that the two children were watching with wide eyes. He thought it would be good for the children to listen together, so he gave up the idea of ​​telling the children to go away.

I saw that he raised his eyes to stare at his wife and said, "What you said is wrong, where is this place?"

"Huaiyuan, the Huaiyuan that the old man personally handed over to the eldest lady can be wrong." Bai Erniang was puzzled.

"Yes, it's Huaiyuan, but Huaiyuan also belongs to Shao's family. Since it is Shao's family, we are only Mr. Shao's people, but we are assigned to serve the young lady." Bai Laoer said coldly.

After hearing this, Bai Erniang was a little anxious, "But Missy treats us well."

"It's not so thin, our family guards the Huaiyuan, that is also a great credit." Bai Shanzi said angrily.

"You child, why don't you know what's good?" Bai Erniang said angrily.

Bai Shanzi insisted, "Where did I say wrong, if it weren't for our family's hard work, how could Huaiyuan have a good life if the eldest lady is not at home all the time? It would have been ruined by others."

Not to mention that Baierniang was uncomfortable hearing this, Xiao Jinling looked at her brother in surprise.

Bai Lao Er probably didn't expect his son to be so paranoid, and was a little stunned for a while.

In his heart, although he is not grateful to Miss Shao, he still remembers the kindness of Mrs. Shao of the Shao family.Besides, with Huaiyuan's future, their family has indeed made a lot of money.

Then, as soon as he came back to his senses, he hastily coughed twice to cover up, "Shanzi, this is a bit exaggerated, the eldest lady treated us well. We don't do extra things, but it is better to take care of the locust garden. deserved."

Bai Erniang liked to hear these words, and immediately echoed: "That's not it, although the eldest lady is often not at home, our income seems to be less, but the flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables in this garden are not so tight on us. "

Bai Shanzi hated doing farm work to death, and retorted: "It's unnecessary to think so, other yards don't have to suffer as much, and the rewards are much more, so they are more comfortable than us."

Seeing her son like this, Bai Erniang frowned and said, "We can earn more money than those who used to get rewards in the yard."

That's what he said, but Bai Shanzi just felt that his family only guarded the locust garden where the master was often absent. Although he gained more money, he lost his future.

Especially, this year, since the Bai family and his party returned to Yangzhou, Bai Shanzi has hidden things in his heart, and he has no intentions for the master in Huai Garden.

However, these are just thoughts in his own heart, but he dare not let his parents know.

Bai Shanzi saw that his mother acted like we made money, so he picked up the meal angrily.

Bai Shanzi gobbled it up, making the atmosphere at the dinner table even more embarrassing.

The gradually dimming light in the room is reflected by the mottled complexion of the people, just like the hearts of the people.

Little Jinling didn't know what the adults thought, and she didn't feel embarrassed.

Seeing that everyone's words have eased up a lot, she felt a little happy.

Then, she plucked up her courage and whispered: "Mom, do we need to go to Huaiyuan and tell Miss about this?"

"Now?!" Bai Erniang looked at his wife, and said hesitantly, "It's not good, it's getting dark outside, and the miss probably has to rest."

"No way, Miss has to read for a long time every day, so she must not be asleep at the moment." Xiao Jinling was anxious, "Mommy, hurry up and tell Miss about the principal room."

Bai Erniang saw that she was in a hurry, so she quickly comforted her: "Don't be in a hurry, since this happened, I don't care if I know it sooner or later."

Xiao Jinling shook her head, "It's not good, I knew earlier, Miss Ming'er, please be well, there will be something to deal with."

For Miss Shao Yunshi, Xiao Jinling really likes to be close to her.Therefore, she tried her best to ask Mu Ma to inform Miss Hui.

Little Jinling has always been a well-behaved and obedient child, but she is so stubborn today, which is a bit abnormal, and Bai Erniang is a little at a loss.

Wanting to scold the child, Bai Erniang was afraid that the child would be timid and would be frightened, so she didn't want to speak of her, and she was also afraid that the head of the family would dislike her.

When Bai Erniang was in a dilemma, Bai Laoer hugged Xiao Jinling very patiently.

His actions startled Bai Erniang, she thought he was going to beat the child, so she hurriedly stopped her.

Little Jinling was not afraid, she hugged her father's neck, her little face was blushing with a smile.

Seeing them like this, Bai Erniang withdrew her outstretched hand embarrassingly.

Bai Lao Er glanced at the old wife angrily, then said to his daughter gently and unquestionably: "Girl, don't make trouble, there are some things you don't understand, you will know when you grow up."

These words were obviously not convincing, Xiao Jinling opened her big eyes and just looked at Bai Laoer like this.

Stared at by the child's clear eyes, Bai Lao Er was helpless, "At this moment, Miss must already know about the moving house in the main courtyard, so don't worry about it."

Bai Shanzi wanted to preach to his younger sister just now, but his father took him a step ahead of him, so he quickly interjected and said, "No, there are a lot of good news on Miss's side, so you don't have to worry about it, little brat."

Listening to what her husband and son said, Bai Erniang thought about it, since it all happened, now tell the lady, should she let the lady make trouble, or not?
You don't have to make the young lady think she did it on purpose, it's better to pretend she didn't know.

Thinking about it this way, she turned her head and said a few words to her daughter, and the matter was over.

In the front and back yards of Huaiyuan Garden, the two places have different thoughts.

Aunt Bai's place in the main courtyard, which was mentioned repeatedly by Huai Yuan, did not stop.

In the main courtyard, the leaves rustled in the night wind, and the bedroom in the main room was brightly lit like a locust tree garden.

"Mom, this main room is really nice. Look, it's Su embroidery with branches and vines. It's very well embroidered." Shao Xiuxue kept pulling the curtain and boasting.

Although Shao Xiuxue has been living in Beiping with the Bai family who was born in a small family, but the very well-behaved old lady Shao, whenever she returns to Yangcheng, someone will teach her some needlework that women should learn.

So, she still has some eyesight.

Seeing her daughter's joyful look, Bai shook her head, as if she didn't like her.
