Chapter 32 All beings in the Mafu

The carriage swayed and finally arrived at the Ma Mansion.

After getting off the carriage, Bai Xuemei silently swore in her heart that she would rather stay with the ignorant fourth sister than sit in the same carriage with the seventh sister.

The journey was turned on by the black and white, and the short half-hour drive from Bai Mansion to Ma Mansion felt that she had spent almost sixteen years of cultivation.

The fourth lady Bai Lingxiao, who was defined as ignorant, looked at Bai Xuemei, who was wearing a blue green smoke shirt and a light blue pleated skirt with a light blue pleated flower and green grass, walked towards them with a jealous look on her face.

This is how her fifth sister is, and she is the focus of attention no matter where she goes.

Especially when she saw some of the ladies and ladies who arrived with them next to her secretly looked at Bai Xuemei, her eyes full of stunning, her jealousy became even more intense.

Why can't she be as good as this fake fifth sister no matter how she does it!

The eldest lady who served her mother-in-law all the way could not stop being proud when she saw her daughter coming. She should be the most dazzling one among the people.

Bai Fuyao, who was silently following Bai Xuemei in a transparent shape, looked at this scene as if she was not surprised. Taking into account her jealous personality of the fourth sister, she could actually understand the fourth sister.

The fourth sister is actually pretty good, and she looks like her second aunt.

When my grandmother was ignorant of her second uncle and loved to get into the pile of women, she took a lot of effort to choose a wife for him.

Generally, girls from famous families refused to marry the Bai family, which had not yet left the Northwest Army Marshal, and they were the most unreliable ones. So my grandmother chose the current second aunt Chen for her second uncle.

The Chen family was doing tea business in the Liangjiang area, and was considered a wealthy family in the Liangjiang area. However, ordinary merchants still had a lower status after all, so the Chen family, who was determined to marry a noble family, accidentally learned about the marriage of the second master of Baifu when they were doing business and wanted to marry their own sister-in-law.

My grandmother saw that Chen was pretty, handsome and charming, and might be able to make her second uncle calm in the future. Although her family affairs were a little lower, her second uncle was not a good one. After considering this, she decided to make this marriage.

Although the final result was not satisfactory, my grandmother's heart was good.

The fourth sister gave birth to a round oval face like her mother, with slender eyebrows and slightly upturned corners of her eyes. Today, she was wearing a light crimson gauze shirt with a white embroidered red peony long skirt, and looked very charming.

If it is compared to ordinary women, it is also a top star, but if it is compared to the peony-like white snow plum, which is famous for its talent, it will be a bit insignificant.

Bai Lingxiao grew up in the shadow of his sister since childhood. Sometimes Bai Fuyao has to admire the fourth sister's ability to bear it.

After Bai Fuyao and Bai Xuemei met with the others who had arrived at the Bai Mansion first, the group went to the flower hall under the guidance of the maid of the Ma Mansion.

As soon as I walked into the flower hall, I heard that the originally noisy flower hall slowly became quiet.

Mrs. Ma, Tian, ​​saw the people coming from Bai's mansion, hurriedly stood up from her seat, Xu Ying took a few steps, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Bai, you are here, and my mother-in-law is still talking about you just now."

Although she knew that Tian was just polite words, Mrs. Bai still smiled and said, "I have delayed the road today, so I'm going to wait for the old sister. Let me see the old sister first and congratulate her on her birthday."

"Haha, Mrs. Bai is polite, please please." After that, he personally took the Bai Mansion and his group into the inner room.

When the old lady of Bai's mansion was waiting for the old lady to congratulate Mrs. Ma for her birthday, Mrs. Ma, who was standing beside her, looked at Bai Xuemei beside Mrs. Bai, and said at the right time: "Oh, Xuemei is here too, she is getting more and more beautiful."

It seems like I just saw the white snow plum.

Bai Fuyao stood at the end and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Mrs. Ma is worthy of being the prime minister's wife. She often spends time in the circle of noble people, and her words are just right and not embarrassing.

Bai Xuemei and Ma Mingxue, the second lady of the Ma Mansion, who had been married to the prince of Li Guogong's Mansion for half a year, were close friends. Before Ma Mingxue got married, the two often evaluated poetry and paintings together, so Mrs. Ma and Bai Xuemei got familiar with each other.

Originally, Mrs. Ma was not allowed to see the younger generation of the Bai Mansion because she was different and her identity was placed there. But since Mrs. Ma had already mentioned Bai Xuemei, Mrs. Ma naturally wanted to meet the Sun generation of the Bai Mansion.

Mrs. Ma, who was sitting in the upper head, called Bai Xuemei to her side: "The girl Xuemei is here too. Since Mingxue got married, you have not come often. The old woman hasn't seen you for some time."

After saying that, he took Bai Xuemei's hand and looked up and down: "It's true that as Shuo's daughter-in-law said, it's getting more and more beautiful."

Then he looked at Mrs. Bai and said, "Can you let me, your granddaughter?"

Mrs. Bai glanced at Bai Xuemei and said to Mrs. Ma: "Not yet, the eldest daughter-in-law loves her daughter, and she wants to stay for a while. Alas, I'm old too, so I'll leave this kind of thing for her mother to worry about."

The eldest lady standing beside her smiled when she heard this: "Mom, you are Xuemei's grandmother. If Xuemei wants to get married in the future, you will have to nod. You can't help but worry!"

Mrs. Ma on the side also said, "Haha, Mrs. Bai, what the eldest lady is saying!"

Then he looked at Bai Xuemei, who had blushed because of discussing her marriage, and said, "This child has a good relationship with my Mingxue. I have also grown up since I was a child. It's a good thing. Which wife in Kyoto doesn't want such a child to be a wife? If my Yuer had not been married, I would have to look for a matchmaker to step on the threshold of the Bai family!"

Everyone was sitting and laughing at Mrs. Ma's politeness, and looked at Bai Xuemei even more differently.

Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai were also very happy. Bai Xuemei's already blushing face turned even more red, and she only said something to Mrs. Ma to be humble and over-reward.

It was a joy to be present, but I couldn't help but dislike anyone. The second wife said flatteringly: "It's really her blessing that Xuemei can win the favor of Mrs. Ma. Come on, Xiaoer, come and see Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Ma too."

After saying that, she twisted her body and walked forward a few steps to Mrs. Ma, looking like she smiled flatteringly on her shoulders, "Mrs. Ma, although my Xiaoer is not as good as Xuemei in writing poetry and painting, she heard that the old lady loves embroidery. This time she spent three months embroidering a picture of auspicious and auspicious flowers to congratulate you on her birthday."

Mrs. Bai Er's actions suddenly made everyone present laugh and froze. Even Mrs. Ma, who has always been at ease in the Kyoto Mas circle, didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Mrs. Bai's face looked even more ugly, and she wanted to go out without taking her second wife who couldn't see her.

Otherwise, the old man is still the hottest, and the first person to break the situation is Mrs. Ma.

She looked at the second wife with a calm expression, "The second wife has troubled her birthday. Since Ling Ai has spent so much time preparing gifts for the old woman, then the old woman will take a look!"

The second wife, who was determined to make her daughter stand out, was filled with joy when she heard that Mrs. Ma wanted to see her daughter's embroidery in person. If she could win the favor of Mrs. Ma, then her daughter would not worry about not finding a good family in Kyoto, so she hurriedly pushed her daughter out and showed it.

Bai Lingxiao was originally a little embarrassed because of his mother, but when he heard Mrs. Ma want to see her embroidery, he became a little expectant and nervous.

She was not outstanding in other aspects, but she had full confidence in her embroidery work. She dared to say that even the fifth sister who was outstanding in everything was not as good as her, let alone that she had carefully spent three months to embroider.

So Bai Lingxiao showed his embroidery with anticipation and nervousness.

Although Bai Fuyao knew that the embroidery work of the fourth sister was pretty good, she had never seen it herself. When she saw it today, she could indeed describe it as exquisite.

The line method is smooth and bright, the stitches are neat, the composition is sparse, and the flowers are blooming. Although it is fake, it seems to make the inner room feel a little springy.

Even Mrs. Ma couldn't help but be amazed when she saw this embroidery, "Miss Four is a good embroiderer!"

Bai Lingxiao felt a little proud when he heard Mrs. Ma's praise, and said shyly: "Thank you, Mrs. for your praise."

The old lady Ma in the head looked at the embroidery but did not make any statement. She said lightly: "I have worked hard for the old woman."

Bai Lingxiao was puzzled. Mrs. Ma was a little surprised when she saw her embroidery just now, but why did Mrs. Ma praise her, but Mrs. Ma was so cold? Did she do something wrong?

Bai Xuemei kept looking at the second wife and daughter coldly. After hearing Mrs. Ma's words, she looked as usual, but she was sneering in her heart like Mrs. Bai: No one can blame me if I want to come and show my eyes.

Bai Fuyao watched everything behind, thinking to herself, Sister Fourth, don’t think about it, you didn’t do anything wrong, you should say that everything you did was wrong.

Mrs. Ma could teach a prime minister's son and a concubine's daughter, so she would not look down on the daughter of a concubine's son without an official position. Moreover, the second aunt's flattering appearance today must have made Mrs. Ma look down on her. She may feel that she has given you a face to the White House.

Bai Fuyao doesn't like Mrs. Ma's attitude, but she can't comment on whether Mrs. Ma's move is good or bad. After all, it is normal for Mrs. Ma, who has a high status, to develop a sense of self-superiority under the flattery of others all year round.

Who can tell the truth about life?
