Chapter 402
But Mrs. Dong didn't even see her, she is the wife of the patriarch!
"Of course the servant knows that Madam is doing it for the patriarch's benefit, and also knows that Madam wants to help the White House prepare the banquet, so as to let the kicker wait for those who see the patriarch's jokes... The Bai family relies heavily on the Patriarch and Madam!" Pu Liu Holding the broken porcelain pieces in his hands, he looked up at the Fang family who was still angry, and said, "But madam, you must understand that Dadu Bai's family can be regarded as the head of noble families in Dadu City. Such a family has This kind of family's rules are not something we can meet when we go to meet each other, don't you think?"
Pu Liu is unable to accompany his wife to the White Mansion because of something, and when the servant girl said it, she knew why Fang lost her temper.
"Madam may not like to hear this, but only slave dares to say such things to Madam!" Pu Liu said after standing up and saluting, "The reason why the patriarch took the position of patriarch is not because of the princess of Zhenguo. In other words, what madam thinks now should not be the same as the previous patriarch...to be on an equal footing with Dadu Bai's family, but to support Dadu Bai's family!"
Pu Liu's words can be regarded as expressing Fang's thoughts.
She just wanted to be the same as before, the dignified Lord of the Town, Bai Wei Ting, was on an equal footing with her father-in-law, why now that her man took the position of patriarch, but she couldn't be equal to most of the Bai family, then Bai Qingyan was considered to be her junior.
"To put it bluntly, Dadu Bai's family gives face... The patriarch can indeed sit on an equal footing with Dadu Bai's family. If Dadu Bai's family doesn't recognize you, you are nothing! Look at this time... the granddaughter of King Zhen, Zhen Guojun Lord, we changed the patriarch as soon as we came back!" Pu Liu walked in front of the Fang family and lowered his voice, "And the prefect and county magistrate Zhou acted in the eyes of the Zhen Guo princess! In front of power... the Bai family The patriarch is really nothing."
Although Fang's face turned green and pale at times when Pu Liu said it, but Pu Liu was the most caring maidservant around her, she followed her from her natal family to marry into the Bai family, and she knew that Pu Liu's words were all for her own good.
Fang's heart felt aggrieved, and her eyes turned red: "When other people were patriarchs, they were all beautiful and beautiful, so why should they stay low when they come to our place?"
Pu Liu sighed in her heart that Mrs. Fang couldn't figure it out, but she was a girl who had grown up with her deeply and lovingly, so she could only bend down and persuade her: "You don't have to be humble, as long as Madam is devoted to befriend Mrs. Dong, Just follow Mrs. Dong's orders. Don't go over Mrs. Dong's job. Just sell well. You don't have to force yourself to be the best, the most outstanding and the most eye-catching. Let's give up the limelight to Mrs. Dong. It's not a grievance. It’s not about lying down, but about enduring humiliation for a long-term plan.”
Fang's tears fell immediately, and she quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said: "Pu Liu, I understand what you said, but I just don't accept it and feel wronged, especially my sister-in-law... who has been expelled Yes, they are still talking nonsense in front of me, making fun of Qihe as a temporary patriarch, I just want them to see it..."
"Madam I know! I know everything!" Pu Liu comforted Fang Shi, "Madam, don't worry now, and lower your posture towards Dong Shi when you go to the banquet tomorrow."
Fang wiped away tears and nodded: "I see."
On the sixth day of May, the White House held a dinner.
When the sun was setting and the western sky was full of rays of light, the prefect and Mr. Zhou came with their families.
The lanterns at the entrance of the Bai Mansion have been lit, and the inside of the mansion is even more brilliantly lit.
As soon as you step into the six opened vermilion lacquer main gates and bypass the wall shadows, you will see a bronze crane lantern every ten steps in the courtyard, which makes you feel solemn and solemn.
As soon as Mr. Zhou entered the door, he was surprised by the carved beams and embroidered pillars of the Bai family. He knew the profound heritage of the Bai family, but he never thought that the heritage of the Bai family was so profound. Go back to the previous dynasty.
This is the bearing and pomp that a real Zhongming Dingshi Home should have.
Except for the patriarch's family and the fifth master's family who had been expelled from the clan, almost no one in the clan had ever been to the Bai family's ancestral house.
Everyone came early, and the black and white mansion had just opened the banquet.
None of Dong Shi and Bai Qingyan's aunts came, and Bai Qingyan sat in the main seat alone, which disappointed Fang Shi who wanted to please Dong Shi.
"The Bai family is still in the period of filial piety, so there should be no banquets, so there is no singing and dancing today, it's just a regular meal..." Bai Qingyan raised the teacup in front of him, "The hospitality is not good, and tea is used instead of wine. Please let the prefect and Zhou County Ling Haihan."
The meaning of Bai Qingyan's words did not look outside the Bai clan, which more or less made the Bai clan breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as Bai Qing finished speaking, the servants filed in one after another, carrying dishes and holding pots, with a clear division of labor, and presented all kinds of delicacies in front of the guests like flowing water, with light and neat movements.
County Magistrate Zhou looked at the six or seven plates of exquisite seasonal pastries in front of him. The exquisiteness was astounding. It was the plates that held the pastries, which were probably items from the previous dynasty.
The most rare thing is that the Bai family has so many complete sets, which shows its profound heritage.
The Bai family is still keeping their filial piety, no matter whether the elders inside have let them touch meat or not, Mingli still can't touch meat, so today's meals are all vegetarian.
This banquet was not as lively as Fang's thought.
There was no gala music, singing and dancing in the first place, and Bai Qingyan, who was in the main seat, ate quietly and calmly. He straightened his attitude and made up his mind to eat and sleep without talking, so that others didn't even dare to breathe.
Fang finally understood, what kind of banquet did Bai Qingyan prepare for this?
After Bai Qingyan finished his meal, he rinsed his mouth according to the rules, and after the dishes in front of him were cleared away, tea and fresh fruits were served. That commonplace meal was really not polite.
But even so, in the eyes of everyone in Shuoyang, the formation of the Bai family is quite formal.
"I wonder how the patriarch's preparations are going for the training and recruiting?" Bai Qingyan put down his teacup and asked solemnly.
Bai Qihe hurriedly stood up and bowed to Bai Qingyan, saying: "Now the children of the Bai clan, as well as the clan's fields and the tenants of the clan's fields are all volunteering, and many people have also signed up because they can get a share of the monthly money. It's just that the training ground is still being discussed within the clan."
"The martial arts field in the government should be enough!" County magistrate Zhou spoke first, and bowed in the direction of Bai Qingyan, "Before the princess came back, the prefect had already ordered the lower officials to expand the martial arts field within three days. It should work."
The eunuch did not expect Master Zhou to sell him in front of Bai Qingyan. This order was not given by him. He was embarrassed to win the beauty, so he straightened up quickly and said: "The lower official only proposed it in front of Master Zhou." I'm afraid it's not enough to talk about the martial arts field, but it's not an order, it's Mr. Zhou who has the heart."
The second update, there is another update that really won't come out! Make up for the little ancestors before five o'clock in the afternoon!
In addition, I ask the monthly ticket, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ...
