"Whether she's smart or not, miss, why don't you go and see for yourself? It's best if she understands. If she doesn't understand, then let General Lu make up his mind, right?" Bundle.
Bai Fuling said flatly, "Okay! I'll go meet her and see what she's up to! But the food in Beiyuelou is really not very tasty..."
"I made some delicious food for Miss, I'll eat it before I go!" Yang Mei volunteered, her culinary skills were personally passed down by Huang Bai, the big boss of Tongyun Building.
"Ok… "
At noon the next day, Bai Fuling brought Bai Guo, three other servant girls and eight guards to Beiyue Tower on time. Before going out, Bai Guo was held back by Yang Mei and repeatedly confessed that she was not allowed to use her tongue, not to provoke and incite, and not to indulge the young lady's willful bullying! Bai Guo rolled her eyes countless times before holding back her words.
Everyone in Baijiazhuang knew that Yangmei was the one with the most reason, and if she didn't want to be nagged to death by her, it was best not to try to reason with her. In addition, she was still Bai Guo's sister-in-law, so Bai Guo had to grit her teeth and endure, obediently waiting for her to finish talking and let her go.
Sometimes she really wonders, is it because the eldest brother Bai Shanglu is usually too taciturn, so she finds such a talkative sister-in-law to complement her deficiencies.
Cui Zhenyi booked the largest and best private room on the Beiyue Tower, and brought her cousin and a group of maids and maids to arrive two quarters of an hour early, showing great sincerity. Beiyue Restaurant was originally the number one restaurant in Beiguan City, but since the opening of Tongyun Restaurant in Huangbai a few years ago, it has been squeezed from the first place to the second place abruptly. The boss of Beiyue Building had no choice but to admit it.
Cui Zhenyi was too embarrassed last time in Tongyun Building, and after finding out about the relationship between Tongyun Building and the Bai family, she was even more unwilling to revisit the sad place, so she made the best of the next best thing and changed to Beiyue Building.
The servant just revealed her identity a little bit, and the boss of Beiyue Building immediately changed his face, nodded and bowed, and personally brought the shopkeeper and chef to salute and say hello, and revised the menu repeatedly, lest the service was not satisfactory. Cui Zhenyi was used to flattery and didn't think much of it, but Liu Zhenzhen, who was with her, was very happy and praised her boss for being shrewd and sensible.
"Cousin, we came to see that little vixen today, why did you choose to dress so plainly, and waited for her here ahead of time, which certainly weakened your own aura! What kind of thing is she? In the future, if you want to enter Lu's house, you will have to nod your head, salute you and call me sister!" The more Liu Zhenzhen thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she couldn't help complaining. It's fine for the cousin to be shabby, but she is also forced to dress plain and simple. I really don't know what she is trying to do? !
Cui Zhenyi winked at the little maid beside her, the little maid understood, bowed and walked to the door of the private room to guard. Then Cui Zhenyi said coldly: "So what if you dress up carefully? Are you asking yourself if your appearance is better than that girl from the Bai family?"
Liu Zhenzhen was suffocated, his face flushed from being choked, and he retorted bitterly in his heart, I can't win, could it be that you can win? !
Cui Zhenyi could also see her dissatisfaction, and said with a soft tone: "Think about it, although I have the name of husband and wife with the general, but these years, we get together less often and leave more, just like a stranger, but she is here in the north. Guan Cheng and the General meet each other from time to time, and they have deep feelings for each other. When we first arrived, and we had conflicts with her, who would the General's heart be inclined to?"
"Cousin, you are my brother-in-law's first wife. Could it be that you are going to swallow your anger like this, and be afraid of that little vixen?!" Liu Zhenzhen didn't understand this truth, but he didn't expect that his cousin would be so tolerant to Bai Fuling. Let that girl gain the upper hand, how easy is it for her to enter the Lu family? !
"If you can win back the General's heart, why not put up with that girl for now?" Cui Zhenyi said calmly after she straightened her bun.
Today she only wore two simple silver hairpins in her hair, no other accessories, and only a pair of family-owned jade bracelets on her hands. The dress on her body was the cleanest and most polite One thing, she deliberately kept such a low profile, she only hoped that the charming lady of the Bai family would be a bit more sensible, otherwise... Cui Zhenyi's eyes flashed a strange light.
"Don't talk nonsense later, even if that little girl provokes and abuses, don't open your mouth. It's all up to me, you know?" Cui Zhenyi explained to Liu Zhenzhen again, seeing her reluctantly nodded, she was satisfied Turn your face away to look at the street view outside the window.
The first sight is a large area of dusty houses, and the limited houses with a little bit of a look are far from the style of the capital. Businessmen in different clothes come and go on the street, some are ragged, some are bare-chested and bare-armed, messy And noisy, where is it as orderly as the capital
Cui Zhenyi was bored watching it for a while, and was about to turn her gaze back, when she suddenly heard the melodious sound of camel bells in the distance, people on the street started to move to the side of the road spontaneously, and some small vendors also hurriedly pushed their stalls to the side of the road go.
Bai Fuling's luxury caravan came slowly from the end of the street to Beiyue Tower. Cui Zhenyi recognized the maid Bai Guo riding on one of the white camels at a glance, and immediately guessed the identity of the person in the car.
Cui Zhenyi clashed with Bai Fuling on the Tongyun Tower that day, and she had never personally witnessed the battle when she went out. Now that she saw it from a high place, she couldn't help feeling sour in her heart. Guan Cheng didn't have the same ostentation as her when she went out! This is but a lowly merchant's daughter! Why is she? !
Liu Zhenzhen came over curiously when she heard the ringtone, she was not like Cui Zhenyi's city mansion, so she couldn't help shouting on the spot: "This little vixen's pomp is even bigger than your cousin's!"
Cui Zhenyi hated her for not covering her words and showing no emotion on her face, just pretending she didn't hear anything, she raised her hand and told the servants and maids to prepare to welcome guests.
After a while, Bai Fuling walked into the private room on the second floor of Beiyue Building, surrounded by four maids. She was wearing a pink jacket, a rose-colored long skirt, and not many jewelry but each piece matched the dress. All of them are valuable treasures, especially the long skirt, which flows like water waves when walking, and the fine patterns on it seem to change with the light and shadow. It was embroidered with dark patterns with pink silk threads of three different colors, and the beautiful patterns appeared and disappeared with her every move, revealing a low-key and elegant beauty.
This kind of clothing and accessories is also rare in Beijing! Cui Zhenyi recalled the outfit she wore when she saw her in the restaurant last time, she also looked simple, but when she looked closely at the charming tone, she was secretly surprised: what kind of family can afford such a luxurious daughter? !
Looking at the four maids around her, except for the maid who came forward to taunt them last time, the other three are all strangers, but their appearance and demeanor are not inferior to those they saw last time. How many such excellent maids...
Bai Fuling and his wife treated Bai Fuling, a beautiful daughter, as a sweetheart. They never blinked when they spent money on her. Take care of her clothes and jewelry, and carefully match and dress Bai Fuling every day, and even the maids who serve her are all dressed up like flowers and jade.
Cui Zhenyi was slightly absent-minded, but quickly calmed down again, and greeted her with a friendly smile: "My sister came on time, last time my sister-in-law's servant was in a hurry, today my sister-in-law is the host, and I invite you to have a drink as an apology, sister-in-law We don’t know each other well in Beiguan City, and the general’s family doesn’t have any female relatives, so we should get closer!”
Bai Fuling was the most impatient with this kind of socializing, but for the sake of her brother-in-law, she forced a smile and said, "You're welcome." But she didn't call her "sister-in-law".
Cui Zhenyi felt annoyed in her heart, but she still had a friendly smile on her face, she took Bai Fuling and sat down at the table, the maid went out and said something, and soon all kinds of dishes were brought up at the price.
At the banquet, only Cui Zhenyi sang a one-man show with great enthusiasm. Liu Zhenzhen looked at Bai Fuling's clothes and ate with jealousy in silence. She didn't believe that Cui Zhenyi would come to her to apologize sincerely.
She has already known the virtues of the Cui family's mother and daughter. Even if she intends to change her ways, it is impossible for her to suddenly change drastically. She must have a plan to lower her stance so deliberately.
Sure enough, as she was talking, Cui Zhenyi slowly shifted from asking about Lu Ying's taste to Bai Fuling: "Sister is such a stunning beauty, even in Beijing, I don't know who is blessed..."
Bai Fuling was not at all as shy and blushing as ordinary women when they talked about her husband's family, but just looked at Cui Zhenyi with a half-smile and didn't answer.
Cui Zhenyi had already inquired about it a long time ago, knowing that Bai Fuling was notorious in Beiguan City, no one dared to come to propose marriage, she asked knowingly just to find out her attitude towards Lu Ying, seeing that Bai Fuling didn't answer, she went further: " Thinking about the fact that my sister has not reached the age of Ji, her adoptive father and adoptive mother must be reluctant to marry her early, but if the girl has a crush on a family, you might as well tell her sister-in-law to know, she will inquire for you, and she will definitely choose a good one for her, so that The girl married well!"
Bai Fuling let out a casual "hmm" out of boredom, but still didn't answer.
Cui Zhenyi's eyes flickered, and she said: "My husband has been alone in this borderland all these years, and I'm not by his side. Thanks to my sister for taking good care of me, it's no wonder my husband always cares about my sister."
"You've said so much, what exactly do you want to say?" Bai Fuling really didn't have the patience to play around with her again.
Cui Zhenyi took a light breath and said: "My husband hasn't returned to Beijing these years, so naturally I don't know the situation in Beijing has changed. Some treacherous villains are jealous of my husband's official position and power, and have repeatedly slandered and spread rumors in front of the emperor. My brother is struggling in the court for my husband. , I barely calmed down the storm. As a woman, I don’t have any ideas, I just want to serve my husband well, let him be satisfied and have no worries. If there is a sister to help, I don’t know how happy I am.”
