Chapter 21 (1/2)
Bai Jun was burned back to his senses and quickly followed the Mammy.
Arriving at the old lady's room, Bai junzhuo hurriedly saluted and said to Bai Juntao, Zou's elder sister and commoner elder sister, ”grandma, elder sister, you're back.”
”Zhuo'er, get up quickly,” grandma looked at Bai junzhuo lovingly, asked someone to help him up, and then said, ”I've heard from my subordinates that so many things have happened in Bai's house in the past six months. Poor gonglu, just like this. The loser in Ad Oh, zhuo'er, you have done very well these days, and grandma is very happy. ”
”This is what zhuo'er should do.” Bai Jun cautiously lowered his head not to see her, said modestly.
”It's just that grandma doesn't know one thing,” the old lady asked with a change of voice. ”Where did you get the money you exchanged for a mate?”
Bai Jun Zhuo narrowed his eyes. ”It was zhuo'er who sold her mother's dowry...”
”Well,” the old lady nodded. ”In fact, you and your father don't know one thing. The money your aunt Lin took away is only a small part of the Bai family's property, and most of it is still in my hands. Now that I'm back, take some silver and go and redeem your mother's dowry. ”
What? Bai junzhuo eyebrow micro Cu, how does she go to redeem that batch of nonexistent dowry?!
She lowered her head and said in a deep voice, ”grandma No, it's all for the sake of the Bai family. I'll... ”
”Enough!” The old lady, who had been smiling kindly, suddenly changed her face. ”How much dowry did you think your mother brought to the White House? I don't know? That's a lot of money? Do you think you sold the medicine hall? I don't know? Huo Er, are you just fooling your grandmother? ”
”Grandma...” Bai junhuo knelt down and explained in a low voice, ”grandma, me too There was no way. At that time, there were even nine families in the Bai family. I had to... ”
”Have to?” Zou tightly held the crutch in his hand and stood up and said, ”that's the Baijia medicine hall! The foundation of Bai family in the past 100 years! It's more important than the life of the Bai family. You sell it in a few words! ”
”The crime of deceiving the king involves nine ethnic groups! Grandma, if there was no one to help me at that time, all the Bai family, including you
”Should you talk back?” Zou raised his crutch and pointed to Baijun. He said, ”come on, shut her down. The ancestral hall is closed and repents. You can't eat for three days!”
”Grandma...” Bai Jun Zhuo looked up at Zou in a hurry, but Zou turned away and ignored her.
After Bai junzhuo was taken away, Bai Juntao, who had not spoken for a long time, came forward to support Zou's and said, ”grandma, don't be angry. In that case, the third sister may have no choice. Please forgive her.”
”You are too generous Zou sighed helplessly and said, ”your cousin won't come back, and huo'er doesn't know anything about the management of the medicine hall. Grandma wants to give you the medicine hall. You can't have such a disposition. When it's time to be strict, you have to be strict. Even if it's your sister, you can't cover it up. ”
Bai Juntao slightly smiles and says, ”after all, three younger sisters are still young, and they have been refining medicine behind their father for a long time. I don't know how important the Baijia medicine hall is to our Bai family. Grandma, don't be too hard on her
Zou nodded to Bai Jun Tao, ”they are all my granddaughters, and I can't bear to punish her. I just want her to remember the lesson. You can let her out at noon tomorrow
”Peach would thank grandma for the third sister.” Bai Juntao slightly lowered his head. Zou didn't see the flash in her eyes.
In the dead of night, the high platform in front of Bai junhuo is full of the white family ancestors' spiritual throne, and the two candles are flickering with faint yellow flames.
After kneeling for a while, she found that she was not staring around. Bai junzhuo sat on the futon and pinched her aching legs. Her stomach gave an untimely cry. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't eaten dinner yet.
Suddenly, Bai junzhuo heard the sound of Suo Suo's feet. She knelt down quickly. A moment later, someone pushed the window open. Apricot climbed in from the window and ran to Bai junzhuo with a food box. Her eyes were red and she said, ”Miss, you have suffered ”.”
”Why are you here?” Bai junzhuo asked in a low voice.
”Don't worry, ma'am. The mammy who guards the door outside is already asleep. Pear is guarding her. Come on, miss. Have something to eat.”
Bai Jun was deeply moved. He picked up a piece of cake and ate it.
”Miss...” Apricot looks at Bai junhuo, looks a little hesitant, a pair of words and stop.
”What's the matter?” Bai Jun asked cautiously.
”Miss As a matter of fact, when I first came back, my maidservant and pear wanted to go out to inform you, but at that time, the eldest lady suddenly sent someone to tell us that there were too few servants in the yard, just me and pear. They asked them to serve the lady with us. When they came, they pestered my maidservant and pear for various reasons, and didn't let us go out to inform the lady. ”
Bai Jun lowered her head, and the dim candlelight cast a shadow on her face.
