As soon as she came out of Yaxuan, Bai Zhi patted her chest and muttered.
"What's weird? Why don't I feel it?"
Lin Mengya is busy every day now, but she actually feels that the strangest person in this yard is Concubine De.
"Master, you are so busy every day, of course you don't think so. I heard that since Empress Dowager De came back from the palace, the one she loves the most is not Aunt Jingyue, but that Yunruo!"
Bai Zhi is the psychic in her courtyard. She knows a lot about the affairs of the palace, big and small.
At this moment, he said with a very professional gossip expression on his face.
After shaking her head, Lin Mengya smiled.
Yun Ruo must have something extraordinary, otherwise, Empress De Fei would not be so favored.
Even so, she had no intention of having any contact with this Yun Ruo.
"Remember, from now on, no one of you should inquire about Yaxuan's affairs, and don't care about them. Just do your own thing well, got it?"
"Yes, Master."
Fortunately, the four girls are very obedient. In one month, it will be the Winter Solstice Festival.
Brother and dad will also rush back before the winter solstice, right?
It is a good thing that the family can be reunited.
However, she still didn't know how to tell her brother about Sister Yue Ting.
With a gentle sigh, Lin Mengya led her four girls back to Liuxinyuan.
As soon as I turned around a verandah, I saw the anxious figure of Butler Deng.
"Master Princess, you are finally back. Starting today, stewards will be sent to all the villages in various places to deliver the rent. What do you think we should do this year?"
As a prince, although Prince Yu lives in the capital, he has a fiefdom.
Lin Mengya had never thought about this.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Shao was assigned.
"You go and follow Steward Deng to make statistics on the rents in various villages this year, and finally compile them into a book of accounts and give them to me. Be careful and don't make mistakes."
"yes."
Bai Shao is in charge of the family's accounts, so Lin Mengya doesn't have to worry about it.
I heard from Yunzhu that Sanjue Hall has begun to take shape.
Baiji's family has done an excellent job, so it seems like she should go and have a look.
"Come on, follow me to the streets today."
The skinless corpse in the palace was finally left unsolved.
I heard that when King Ming left, he was furious for a while.
In order to appease him, the queen specially sent a marriage princess.
He also rewarded a lot of things, so that King Ming could not turn his face.
Although Hu Lunan was not an orthodox prince, he died on the ground of Jin Dynasty after all. In addition, He married Princess Mingyue, which shows the gloom in Prince Ming's heart.
At this time, another princess was sent over, but it seemed that she was at the mercy of others.
The royal family is always so ruthless.
Maybe it's because the weather has gotten a lot colder recently, and the streets are not as lively as they are in summer.
Lin Mengya wore a vermilion jacket with orange-red silk threads depicting the pattern of auspicious clouds.
The embroidery work is exquisite, without a single flaw.
The jacket is warm and fits you well. You can tell at a glance that it is made by Bai Ji.
"You see, Baiji's craftsmanship is better. As soon as I put it on, I couldn't bear to take it off."
On the carriage, Lin Mengya praised her girl without hesitation.
Bai Ji's face turned red. Ever since she entered the yard, Lin Mengya's clothes had never been worn by others.
"No, Sister Bai Ji is the best. The clothes in our yard are all made by her and Aunt Bai. They are much more comfortable than those bought outside."
Bai Zhi is the youngest. She has grown a lot in the past six months, but she is still childish and does not look like an adult at all.
"You!"
Lin Mengya nodded her forehead and said, her eyes inadvertently falling on Bai Ji's face.
But when he saw her, she looked very worried.
"Baiji, are you hiding something from me?"
Hearing Lin Mengya's words, Bai Ji was surprised for a moment, and then shook his head.
But the smile on that pretty face was a bit awkward.
Could it be that this girl has a crush on the servant guard in the mansion?
However, Baiji has reached the age of getting married.
Except for Bai Su, the happiness of the other three is what she cares about.
"We sisters, even though it doesn't last long, you all know my thoughts."
Holding the hands of these three girls, Lin Mengya said earnestly.
"I can't delay your youth. I have already bought a village for the three of you. Although you are not rich, you can still live a comfortable life. You all have 20% of the money in this shop.
We are five sisters, so we are evenly divided. Although Bai Shao is not here, I know it well. If you have something on your mind and who you like, I will make the decision for you."
Lin Mengya's words were like a bowl of warm ginger soup in the hearts of the three girls.
Even the cold-faced Bai Su couldn't help but have red eyes.
He turned around and went outside the carriage with the excuse that it was too stuffy inside.
Went sitting down.
"No, Master, from the day I entered the house, I was born as the lady's person and died as the lady's dead person."
Bai Zhi said with tears in her eyes, which made Lin Mengya amused.
"What should I do with a dead person? You, live well. Otherwise, the honey nuts in my yard and the sugar cube cakes will be cheap to mice!"
Lin Mengya tapped Bai Zhi's forehead and laughed with Bai Zhi.
Several people got off the carriage in a downtown area and went to the Ruyi Building where Qinghu had now changed its name. Finally, at the back door, they sneaked to the back door of Sanjue Hall.
The yard was no longer as empty as the last time they came.
Under the skillful layout of Father Bai and Aunt Bai, the small courtyard has become even more comfortable.
Bai Su and Bai Shao couldn't wait to see their boudoir.
He immediately rolled onto the bed and refused to come out without saying anything.
But it made Father Bai and Aunt Bai laugh so hard that they couldn't even see their eyebrows.
"As long as a few girls like it, then we can be considered as living up to the master's expectations."
Father Bai took out his hookah and smoked it loudly. Aunt Bai gave him a hard squeeze, saying she was afraid of choking Lin Mengya.
Seeing the noisy old couple, Lin Mengya suddenly felt a little envious.
Vigorous love cannot compare to such plain companionship.
If mother were still alive, would she be as happy as father?
"Master, let's go to the house and talk. I have something to tell you."
While everyone was visiting the courtyard, Baiji secretly tugged on Lin Mengya's sleeves.
Nodding, Lin Mengya knew that Baiji wouldn't be like this if it wasn't something particularly important.
The two of them sneaked into the yard and into a side room where medicines were placed. Bai Ji opened his mouth, but fell into a slight struggle.
"If it's difficult, you don't need to say anything. I know you must have your reasons, and I won't blame you."
Lin Mengya said understandingly, but the more this happened, the deeper the guilt in Bai Ji's heart became.
Finally, he sighed softly and said
"Master, it's me who's sorry for you. It's me who didn't take good notice of the three of them. If you want to beat or scold them, you should just go for Baiji."
With a 'pop' sound, Bai Ji knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Get up, what is this big deal? As for this, silly girl, I am grateful to you all, why would you want to beat or scold me?"
Lin Mengya helped Bai Ji up. If she had known it would make her so sad, she shouldn't have It should be brought up.
But Baiji shook his head and said sadly
"A while ago, Bai Shao and I took turns keeping watch. One day, she disappeared after dinner and came back after dark. I asked her, and she only said that she was working with some ladies in the kitchen.
.When I first started, I didn’t doubt it. But I discovered that she was wearing a jade bracelet of excellent quality on her wrist. I was sure that she had definitely not brought that jade bracelet in from outside the house.
Moreover, the master has never rewarded her."
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief, she thought something had happened.
It turned out that it was just a jade bracelet.
"Are you overthinking it? Bai Shao is in charge of the accounts, and perhaps the people below should respect her."
But Baiji shook her head desperately and continued:
"I asked her about it, and when I saw her hesitating, I knew that there must be a ghost involved. Later, I asked Aunt Fan in the kitchen, and there was no such thing at all. Later, she disappeared several times for no reason.
So, I paid attention and discovered that she came out of Yaxuan. And every time, it was Yunruo who sent her out in person. Master, do you know that Yunruo doesn't look like much, but she has a very arrogant character.
, how can ordinary people get into her eyes. But she treats Bai Su very well, like a biological sister."
This was also the reason why Bai Ji was heartbroken. She and Bai Shao entered the mansion at the same time and both worked in Liuxinyuan.
The master treated them very well, so Bai Shao and she were devoted to the master.
Unexpectedly, that girl would do such a thing, which is really chilling.
"Oh? I think they probably think that Bai Shao is in charge of the accounts, so that's why. Silly girl, I believe in you, and I believe in Bai Shao. There will be no traitors in our yard."
He took out his handkerchief and wiped Baiji's tears.
This girl who values love and justice must have endured a lot of torture to be able to say these words.
It was really hard for her.
"Master, I know that this is all Bai Shao's fault. However, if she is really bad for you, please, for the sake of our past friendship, give her a way to survive, okay?"
Baiji could see Lin Mengya's ruthless treatment of her enemies in the past.
Therefore, she kept silent for the sake of her friend's name.
But the master treated them like this. If Bai Shao really did something ungrateful, the master would definitely not let her go.
"Silly girl, no matter what you do to me, I will never blame you."
Lin Mengya gently wiped the tears on Bai Ji's face and spoke softly.
"It's fate that we met each other. It's my fate that you treat me like this. Bai Shao - if Bai Shao betrays me, I will only be blind once."
