Chapter 72

"Do you want such a coincidence?" Xiao e couldn't help sighing at first, "the maid just advised the fourth young lady not to wear white for a long time, so as not to be said by the second lady that it's like a funeral. But... But second miss, why did you do it all? "

White Zhen Zhen laughs straight Wu belly, "I say what come again, this is my close elder sister, even wear what color clothes, we both can want to go together." As he said, he pointed to xiao'e's head with his fingers. "You dead girl, you'll know that you're strong in front of me. When you get outside, you'll be counselled. What auspicious, she said to do funeral? Then I also said that because our family name is white, I wear white to represent solemnity, which means that I pay more attention to her birthday. Besides, she is not my mother, and I have a bad relationship with her. Is it necessary to give her a face? "

Bai Helian agreed with the theory of "Bai's family name is Bai" and nodded: "that's the reason."

A group of servant girls feel that they can't manage their own miss. They look at each other and see the same message from each other's eyes: just let them go!

Today's Wenguo mansion is very busy. People are allowed to wear colorful clothes as an exception. Servants and young men are all dressed in new clothes. Maidservants and old women are all pink and green, and their faces are painted with light makeup. Some of them also use some incense. They not only look gorgeous, but also have a faint fragrance around them. It's really pleasing to the eye.

But no matter how bright and gorgeous, clothes are also ordinary materials. Although they are much better than ordinary people's coarse cloth clothes, they still can't compare with the precious materials used by the masters.

Allowing servants to dress up is a grace given at Ye's birthday party every year. This is an excellent opportunity for many big servant girls with lively mind, because there are many people in the mansion, including not only the women's families, but also countless male guests. They are all dignified figures in Beijing, and they are real aristocrats. If they are lucky enough to be chosen by a young master or a middle-aged master, it will be their greatest blessing to be concubines.

When Bai Helian and Bai Zhenzhen arrive, the front yard is already very busy. More than 20 banquet tables are set up around the yard. The servant girls are busy putting melons and fruits on the table. There are many fruits that can't be seen in Kyoto in this season, and they don't know where they are transported from, and how much silver they spent.

Before the old lady arrived, Ye Shi and Bai Jinghong also saw the shadow. Bai Xingyan was wearing a new dress and was talking to the housekeeper.

In addition, Xiao Ye and Bai Huayan arrived early. Xiao Ye kowtowed to Bai Jinghong a few days ago. Now, although people are all right and the blood doesn't flow any more, a shocking blood scar is on the forehead, which is still very unpleasant.

Today, Bai Huayan wore a peach red dress and her hair was twisted into two buns. From a distance, she looked very cute. But the words are not close to cute: "I don't look at myself in the mirror. It's my mother's birthday. Are you not afraid to touch my mother's head when you come out like this? I beg you to go back, will you? If mother sees you so unhappy, even I have to follow you. "

Xiao Ye raised his hand to touch the scar on his forehead, and sighed softly: "if I don't show up, it's against the rules. Or I'll go back and find a way to cover it, and I won't give you any trouble. "

"Go, go!" Bai Huayan drove Xiao Ye away like a fly. She turned around again and asked a servant girl around her: "which hospital are you from? I'm all thumbs. "

The servant girl was only twelve or thirteen years old. She was frightened by the roar, and her fruit tray almost fell to the ground. "The servant girl belongs to the third lady's yard. She knows the crime, so please forgive her."

As soon as I heard that it was the third lady in the yard, Bai Hua Yan was even more energetic -- "Oh, I can't remember that there is another third lady in the family. 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? Do you really think of yourself as a dish? In my opinion, do you want to escape the birthday gift for your mother? "

How dare the little servant girl answer this words? She can only kneel on the ground and keep shaking.

White Zhen Zhen cut a, Yang wore a neck to ask a sentence: "five younger sister and ye Yi Niang send what good thing to mother?"? If you are double relatives, the gifts you give should be more valuable than others. Only in this way can you show the closeness of a family! Five younger sister, don't hide and tuck in, tell me what you have sent? "

White flower Yan mouth opened Zhang, very want to take this words back, but until then she just reaction come over, it seems that she and her aunt two people what gift all didn't prepare? Feidan had nothing to give to the second lady, and even took the gift that the second lady gave them instead. Originally didn't think too much, but now by white Zhen Zhen words to block, feel a little embarrassed.

However, Bai Hua Yan has always been thick skinned and can be stubborn even if she doesn't pay attention to it. When she realized that she was wrong, she immediately said in a loud voice: "I want you to manage it! We are close relatives, and we also send them in private. How can we go through the useless scene like you outsiders? "

"Oh." White Zhen Zhen suddenly, "originally we are the same surname white is an outsider, your surname leaf is close relative.". With respect to my ignorance, it's the first time I've ever heard of such a truth when I grow up. "While they were talking, they walked forward. At this time, Bai Xingyan, who was standing at the gate of the mansion, was attracted by the noise in the courtyard and turned to come here. While walking, he said: "what's all the noise? I don't want to see what day it is today. One by one, I'm not well-educated! "

White crane ran happily back to his words: "father, is five younger sister in the punishment of a slave, because three younger sister and aunt Lin did not come back to his mother to send birthday gifts."

Bai Xingyan didn't like to listen to Bai hecan, so he subconsciously wanted to go back. But the little servant girl kneeling on the ground defended herself: "when are the three young ladies coming back? I really don't know! I'm just a burning girl. I don't know anything about my master

Bai Xingyan had to turn his anger back to Bai Huayan and yelled, "I have no rules. I've provided for my father for one month's leave to visit relatives. Now the deadline has not come. Are you holding my father accountable when you say that?"

Bai Hua Yan was afraid and angry, and even more unwilling to be punished by Bai Xun, so she thought about it and said, "even if there is a father's leave, she won't come back for such a big day. She just looks down on her mother. To look down on our mother is to look down on our government. Our daughter is also holding injustice for her father. "

"Why?" White crane dye pick eyebrow, "we Wenguo government?"? Five younger sister just still said that our surname Bai is an outsider. Is your surname ye your own? According to your logic, what's the surname of this Wen government? " Her face was blank. "It seems that her surname should be... Ye?"

"Nonsense!" Bai Xingyan was so angry that he turned his arms around. After a long time, he didn't know who to beat, so he had to put them down again in embarrassment. But he pointed to Bai Huayan and said, "go to the backyard! Don't disgrace yourself here

"Father White flower Yan anxious, "I did not, she wronged me!"

"The second elder sister didn't wronged you, and I heard it." White Zhenzhen mouth proof, white Xingyan more believe a few minutes.

He stares at the white flower Yan, in the heart head to the leaf family's anger, all of a sudden all concentrates on this also has the leaf family blood's common female body. Fortunately, there is still reason, not in the front yard where people come and go directly, but still biting his teeth and scolding: "heartless things, when the birthday party is over, you go back to Ye's home, go back to your own home!"

At this time, there was already a servant singing and drinking at the gate of the mansion: "Mr. Liu, the Minister of rites, congratulates the second lady on her birthday! Mr. Zhang of the Ministry of punishment congratulates the second lady on her birthday! Lord Guan, Secretary of the Ministry of household, congratulates the second lady on her birthday

A series of guests arrived, which made Bai Xingyan have no time to pay attention to these daughters. He just dropped a sentence: "all stay in the front hall for me!" Then he hurried to the door.

Just walk to the door and turn around, looking at White Crane dye and white Zhen Zhen Zhen's back, always feel where not quite right. But I couldn't think about it carefully, so I was caught by a lot of visitors.

At the end of the front hall, ye and Bai Jinghong have arrived. Because it's Ye's birthday, the old lady specially gives the position of the head. She arrives later and lets Ye sit on the head to receive the female guests.

According to the usual practice in previous years, when the male guests arrive, they will take their seats directly in the front yard. Although the weather is still a little cold, people will prepare thick curtains to surround the seats. If the cold wind doesn't enter, it will be much warmer. The accompanying women gathered in the front hall to meet ye first, and then they were led to the banquet hall in the back house.

Ye's dress is very expensive today. His clothes are in Peony color. There are big peony flowers embroidered in front of his body. Even his head has a hairpin with the style of peony flowers. No matter clothes or jewelry, they are by no means the common goods seen by the nobility. People with a good sense of Seiko can see that they are the quality of craftsmanship and weaving, embroidery and spinning in the palace. As the Empress Dowager's niece, Ye's purpose at this time is to show her unique identity as much as possible, so as to warn the women's families who come to celebrate birthday. She is not only the head mother of Wen government, but also a royal relative that can't be ignored.

She is not a person sitting on the top, also pull a white Jinghong. Today's Bai Jinghong is even more gorgeous. She is wearing an apricot yellow dress, which makes her elegant and delicate.

Bai Jinghong is very good at dressing up. She knows that her national beauty is invincible in the eastern Qin Dynasty. She also knows that her beauty is so outstanding that it makes people feel a sense of distance. She only dares to look far away, but not near. So she specially wore a goose yellow dress to make people more delicate and approachable.

Ye is very satisfied with her daughter's dressing. She always smiles on her face until she sees Bai hecan and them come in. The smile on her face suddenly stops
