Son of Heaven Assistance System

Chapter 152 You are too smart

The second wife and the third wife looked at each other for a moment.

If this is the case, objectively speaking, it is not incomprehensible for the Bai family to give the Namei family the name of "Ping Wife", which is not correct and not suitable.None of them had ever heard of the term "Ping Wife" before. From just a few days of observation, Mei's "Ping Wife" had the title of "Madam" more than the average concubine. When visiting friends, I didn't go to Yanhe Hall to pay my respects, and I didn't even go to the yard of the three of them. The respectful behavior was no different from that of ordinary aunts.

But the premise of this understanding is to be able to understand the reason behind the name "Ping Wife", otherwise, if the truth is completely unknown, no one will accept a "Ping Wife" who can be called "Madam" out of nowhere ", even if this "equal wife" is actually no different from a concubine.

"The same goes for my father and fourth brother. Now that I have explained it, what can I do if I explain it clearly? I think that when the fourth brother and sister left, they didn't look like they had figured it out. On the contrary, they looked more like they were frightened."

Thinking of the frightened look of the fourth lady when she left, the second lady felt somewhat sad for her.

In many cases, it is one thing to understand something, but it is often another thing to accept it.

They can stand from their own point of view and understand the behavior of the men of the Bai family in order to gain a new ally from the Mei family, using the title of "equal wife". However, if they are in a different place, if they are the fourth lady, even if they understand this in their hearts, It is an exchange of interests, and it is probably difficult for him to accept another woman being called "Madam" in front of him, not to mention that the fourth lady probably doesn't understand this yet.

At this moment, the eldest lady sighed.

"Everyone has their own fate. Whether she can react is her business. As for this matter, the three of us can talk about it behind closed doors, but whether it is the father or the fourth brother, today they can talk about it." Up to this point, it's already enough to lose face...Mr. Mei, let's just pretend we can't see it."

After finishing speaking, the eldest lady stood up first.

"It's been a long time since I came to Yanhetang, so I'll go back first. For some reason, you're a bit sleepy early in the morning. I have to go back and look at her."

The second lady and the third lady quickly expressed a few words of concern. After the eldest lady thanked them one by one, the three of them finally left Yanhe Hall.

...

The eldest lady still took Bai Jiyuan with her when she went, but when she was about to return, Bai Jiyuan was nowhere to be found.

However, considering that Bai Jiyuan should be with his younger brothers at this moment, the eldest lady did not send someone to look for it. Instead, she went back to Zhining Courtyard on her own. The Baixian pomelo, which vomited because of the perfume from the Stealing Fragrance Pavilion, worried her even more.

But the eldest lady's worry is obviously a bit unnecessary.

As soon as she entered Bai Xianyou's study, she saw her daughter leaning against the chair behind the table, holding the pastry in one hand and stuffing it into her mouth one after another, while turning it over and over again with the other hand Yes, with a proud face.

Such a posture makes the eldest lady find it funny, but at the same time, it feels even more headache.

It's obviously the same way of raising her. At this age, her eldest daughter has already been well-mannered and graceful, but when it's changed to Bai Xianyou, she can't explain it in words.

Jing Wu noticed the arrival of the eldest lady earlier than Bai Xianyou. Seeing the sullen expression on the eldest lady's face, and seeing Bai Xianyou's bold posture at the moment, she suddenly felt her scalp tingle.

"Jing Wu has met the eldest lady." Jing Wu lowered his head and blessed the eldest lady.

"Hey, mother, are you back? It's been too long, isn't there any excitement in Yanhe Hall?" While talking, Bai Xianyou jumped off the chair and jumped in front of the eldest lady , she still thought persistently that Yanhetang was lively.

The eldest lady immediately put down her ugly face, and said in a lecture: "What's the excitement? You have not stopped paying your respects to Yanhe Hall. Tell mother what's the excitement?"

Bai Xianyou was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that her mother doesn't seem to be in a good mood at the moment?So she put on a shy face and smiled flatteringly, "No, no, oops, I made a mistake."

Then quickly changed the subject: "Mom, I'm so smart, I solved such a difficult problem in the time it took you to go to Yanhe Hall! Am I great?"

"This question is really difficult...", so Bai Qianyou Balabala first explained how difficult this question is, and finally simply repeated the question to the eldest lady.

Although the eldest lady was still stern-faced at this time, when Bai Xianyou started to flatter and act like a baby, her anger had long since dissipated.

Seeing her daughter's smug face, the eldest lady said in a cold voice on purpose: "In a quarter and a half, put two cakes on top first, and after half a quarter of an hour, take out the other kind of cake, put another one that has not been baked, and put in another Turn over the one that is already cooked on one side; after another half a quarter, turn over the one that was put in last, take out the one that was baked, and then put in the one that was taken out before; after another half a quarter, the remaining two are also baked. "

The more Bai Xianyou listened, the more stupefied she became, the complacency she couldn't suppress had already completely froze on her little face.

She has always claimed to be smart, but she thought for a long time before she came up with the answer, and her mother knew the answer just after listening to it?
"Mother, have you heard this question before?" She asked unwillingly.

The eldest lady shook her head, her expression softened a little: "No, this is the first time I've heard of it."

Bai Xianyou groaned for a while, and her whole body suddenly became listless, but she still said stubbornly: "Well, that mother is about as smart as me."

The eldest lady sighed, turned her head to look at Jing Wu who was at a loss and said, "Please Jing Wu, you can go outside to drink some tea and have a rest."

Jing Wu quickly gave another blessing and backed out.

The eldest lady is obviously going to start educating Bai Xianyou. If she is still there stupidly, she will really make herself uncomfortable.

In the study, the eldest lady sat down with Bai Xianyou in her arms.

She said softly: "You'er, do you think you are very smart and powerful?"

Bai Xianyou nodded naturally, but the moment her eyes met the eldest lady, she suddenly felt that she was not reserved enough, so she whispered: "She is quite smart."

"You've grown up so much, You'er, your mother has never restricted your nature too much. That's because your mother knows that you are backed by the Bai family and the Zhong family. You don't need to be restrained. You have the confidence to be free, but now it seems Mother seems to have thought wrong..."

"Is it because I don't have good manners? But I really know those rules. I just...just don't think it matters in Zhiningyuan." Bai Xianyou retorted eagerly, she saw the self-blame in her mother's eyes , and then her heart began to feel uncomfortable for no reason, and she didn't know it when she was young, that kind of feeling is called heartache.

The eldest lady shook her head.

"It's because my pomelo is so smart."
