Chapter 15 Four Room Gifts
After Bai Xinlan's farce ended, Mrs. Bai said that everyone was tired for a day today, so they all went back to their room to have a good rest.
When everyone heard the old lady's order to expel the guests, they saluted and returned to their rooms.
Bai Fuyao was left by her grandmother to have a conversation, had supper, and waited for her grandmother to rest before returning to Yunshuyuan.
After a while, Jinse heard someone coming from the fourth room.
Bai Fuyao quickly asked Jinse to bring the person in.
I saw a tall, thin and well-dressed girl following behind Jinse into the door. Cui Huan, one of the eighth sister's eldest maids.
"Cuihuan, is there anything wrong with coming so late? But what's wrong with Sister Eight?" Bai Fuyao sat upright on the pineapple wooden chair with a smile on her face.
After Cui Huan gave a happy ceremony, she raised her head and looked at Bai Fuyao who was smiling slightly in front of her. She was handsome and elegant, thinking that Miss Seven was worthy of being raised by the old lady.
"If you want to Miss Qi, today I am here to send a thank-you gift to Miss Qi for my family."
After saying that, he handed a box to Jinse beside Bai Fuyao.
Before Bai Fuyao could order to accept this thank-you gift, Jinse naturally did not dare to accept it. So she raised her eyes and looked at the lady.
Bai Fuyao seemed a little surprised, "Cuihuan, did the Eighth Sister misunderstand something? I have never done anything to ask her to give her a thank-you gift! As the saying goes, I will not receive any reward without merit. I dare not accept this gift. You should take it back and return it to the Eighth Sister."
When Cui Huan heard that Miss Seven refused to accept it, she thought about the purpose of the wife asking her to come here today, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Seven is so serious. Miss Seven said that if there was Miss Seven in the old lady's Nuanchun Courtyard today, her affairs would probably be difficult to be kind. She remembered your love in her heart."
Bai Fuyao also smiled, "It's the eighth sister who is the angrily stern. We are sisters. My sister will naturally protect her. And today the fourth sister, fifth sister and sixth sister are the same. How can I get the eighth sister's thanks alone!"
After hearing this, Cui Huan's eyebrows and eyes moved, and she felt that there was something to do.
He struck while the iron was hot and said, "Miss Seventh, don't worry too much. Since the lady today has the love of the ladies in each room, naturally everyone's love will be remembered in her heart."
The implication is to send thank-you gifts to each room. This fourth aunt is really thoughtful. Not only has it blocked the mouths of each room, but if my grandmother knows, she will think that the eighth sister is a wise person who knows kindness and politeness.
Since there were every room, Bai Fuyao naturally could not refuse it anymore. So she asked Jinse to take the box from Cuihuan's hand.
Bai Fuyao took it over and opened it and saw it. He was really surprised. "The eighth sister's thank you gift is too expensive. There are only a few copies of Mr. Huang Renli from the previous dynasty who have been passed down from generation to generation. How dare I ask for such preciousness?"
After saying that, he handed the box to Jinse, looking like he would return it wherever he got it.
Giving gifts is one thing, but such a valuable gift is unreasonable. Could it be that Sister Eighth Sister is so generous and that the other two bedrooms are so expensive?
Haha, since everyone wants to pretend, then just pretend like it.
Cui Huanben thought he had completed the task, but he breathed a sigh of relief. But when he heard that the Seventh Miss wanted to refuse to accept it, he almost brought it up. Why is it so difficult to give a gift?
He hurriedly said to Bai Fuyao: "Miss Seven, this is my lady's wish. The lady said you can afford this gift."
"I really can't afford this. I know that the fourth uncle spent a lot of effort to find the eighth sister to practice calligraphy. A gentleman does not take advantage of others. Although I am not a gentleman, I cannot take the copybook that the fourth uncle had for my eighth sister. Although the eighth sister is generous, if others know, let the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt know how I should handle it. I can't accept this gift. Go back and tell the eighth sister what she wants, I, the sister, knows." Then he asked Jinse to hand over the gift to Cuihuan and return it to Bai Xinlan.
But Cui Huan was not willing to accept it. When she heard that Miss Seven had already mentioned this, if she couldn't give this gift today, how could she give it to her job? She could only grit her teeth and continue:
"Miss Seven said that at that time, I also told the lady that this gift was too expensive. Miss Seven should not accept it. But the lady said that the gift my sister gave to her sister was not measured by the value or not. Although this copybook was found by the master to practice calligraphy for the lady, the lady had already learned Liu style at that time, and Mr. Huang Renli's calligraphy was not suitable for the lady to learn. It happened that Miss Seven was practicing Yan style recently, and Mr. Huang Renli happened to be a master who practices Yan style. So the lady said that instead of letting it stay on the bookshelf, it would be better to find a suitable owner for it. So please don't have to have any burden, just treat it as the lady's dedication to her sister!"
After saying that, he looked at Bai Fuyao with a sincere look, with the desire in his eyes obvious.
After hearing this, Bai Fuyao stared at Cuihuan with a smile on her face for a long time. Cuihuan, who was standing directly, was sweating in a flash, her whole body became weak, and she could hardly hold on. Bai Fuyao actually nodded and asked Jinse to take the box.
"Cuihuan, please go back and tell your sister eighth. Since it is the eighth sister's intention, I naturally have no reason to refuse. I am the only one in the third room all year round. If the fourth aunt agrees and the eighth sister is willing, I will ask her to sit here often. I don't have anything else here, but I have a lot of food."
Although Cui Huan didn't know why Miss Seven suddenly accepted the gift, she had completed the task and couldn't help but feel a little happy. She was afraid that Miss Seven would regret it again, so she thought to leave Yunshuyuan and go back to report her life as soon as possible.
"Yes, Miss Seven, I will definitely bring your words to you. It's too late today, so I won't bother Miss Seven to rest. If Miss Seven has nothing to do, I will take my leave first."
Bai Fuyao nodded, and then asked Jinse to send Cuihuan out.
After Jinse came back, she saw the lady sitting on the chair with a twist.
Jinse was not surprised by this. Her lady was so elegant and standardized in front of outsiders that she could not make any mistakes, but once there was no one else, there was no such thing as a lady from aristocratic families.
Bai Fuyao, who was sitting on the chair regardless of her image, shook her hand with difficulty when she saw Jinse coming back, and seemed powerless. "Oh! It's so tiring to deal with such people. If I had known this, it would be better to visit the Shaobing Shop Wonton Shop outside for fun."
Jinse did not take over Bai Fuyao's words and asked softly: "Miss has just spoken for a while. She is so thirsty. Do you want me to pour you a glass of water?"
When he saw the lady sitting there nodded his head, Jinse turned around and poured water for Bai Fuyao.
After trying the water temperature was just right, Bai Fuyao took it and started drinking it slowly.
Seeing the gift that Miss Eight had just given on the table, Jinse still asked the lady about her doubts, "Although the lady took the opportunity to help Miss Eight today, I heard that the fourth master spent a lot of effort to find Miss Eight back then. It was very precious. If the other two rooms knew about it... Miss, you have never liked to ask for trouble, why did you accept this gift today? And the lady has never liked the people from other rooms to come to us, why did you give Miss Eight more time to sit here today?"
Bai Fuyao, who was drinking water in a small sip, put down the teacup and asked, "Jinse, do you think Aunt Fourth... Well, what do you think of the people in the fourth room to us?"
Jinse thought about it seriously before expressing his opinion, "In my opinion, the people in the fourth room are all good to the ladies." Compared with the other two rooms who took advantage of the situation, it is better not to be better.
After hearing this, Bai Fuyao, who was a little lazy, curled her smile, "You are right. The Fourth Room is really good to me. When I was still in Kyoto, I took good care of me. My fourth brother has been very good to me over the years. Although the Fourth Aunt has his own considerations, he has never treated me harshly on weekdays. People respect me, I respect others one foot. Today, the Fourth Aunt has tried his best to let me accept this gift, just to let me take care of my eighth sister on weekdays. If there is anything else in the future, I can help me like today. How can I refuse? As for the others, Jinse, I don't like to cause trouble, but I am not afraid of trouble. Do you understand?"
When Cuihuan said that her eighth sister gave her a thank-you gift, she guessed that the person who asked Cuihuan to come today was her fourth aunt.
Sister Eighth sister is a simple-minded person who is protected by others for many years and has been hurt by her hands. How could she do these twists and turns? I’m afraid she is still in the room and crying in aggrieved manner.
To be honest, she envies her eighth sister. No matter what she does, her parents and brothers will plan for her.
But such a simple-minded child is not sure whether it is good or bad in this inner courtyard. But she likes such children very much and doesn't have to worry about dealing with them, so she naturally doesn't mind selling the favor of Aunt Four.
That's why she took the copybook in Cuihuan after saying that the eighth sister kept it for her and took it away.
Jinse was filled with emotion after hearing Bai Fuyao's words.
Although the lady is usually so soft and unreliable, she actually knows that it is just a disguise of the lady. In her heart, the lady has always been very smart and powerful.
Jinse thought about this and said to Bai Fuyao: "Then I'll help the lady put this copybook on the desk?"
Bai Fuyao was shocked when she heard this and waved her hand, "What are you doing when you put it on the desk? Get it locked in the cabinet. If you accidentally see it in the second house of the big house, it will inevitably be another incident. It is better to have less trouble than more things. I want to have a few more days of purity!"
Jinse, who had always been expressionless, twitched the corner of her mouth when she heard this.
The lady said she didn’t like to cause trouble, but she was not afraid of trouble? Why did you become timid after saying this? Please give me my touch just now!
Bai Fuyao naturally ignored the maid who secretly whispered her, and continued to pick up the teacup and drink water silently.
...
Four-bedroom Moxiangyuan.
After listening quietly to Cui Huan's words, the fourth lady waved her to retreat. She sat quietly in the room for a while, then stood up and walked towards Bai Xinlan's yard.
When she came to Bai Xinlan's room, looking at her daughter who was sleeping on the bed because of crying, the fourth lady sat by the bed and gently patted her daughter through the quilt, so that she could sleep more peacefully.
He silently said to Bai Xinlan in his heart: "Mom just hopes you can be fine."
