The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

Mr. Tan, who was at home, was not idle either and quietly left the house.

Xiaoji knew she was out, but couldn't find out where she went.

The carriage left the city and arrived at Fanghua Temple.

Mr. Tan's expression was serious, and he walked into the Zen room with only Mrs. Zhou. After she woke up, she asked Mrs. Zhou to deliver the letter in a tough tone.

So, he will come!

The last time I came here was a long time ago...

The room was still the same as before, with only a few simple pieces of furniture, but each piece was extraordinary. On the case, there was burning incense... Tan knew about that thing, and it was no exaggeration to say that every inch of incense was worth every inch of money. Even she couldn't bear it...

Mr. Zhou is as extravagant as ever.

The man had jade hairpins and a blue cloth. Thin face, single eyelids, no wrinkles.

In front of him was a purple clay tea set made by a famous artist. When Mr. Tan came in, he ignored it. It seems that nothing in this world is more important than the tea set in your hand.

Tan sat down and looked at him.

After coming out of the Bai family, she always asked herself: What would have happened if she hadn't met him...

……

At that time, at Tan Shuya's plea, Mrs. Bai agreed to stay.

Mother and daughter first checked into the guest room and washed several large buckets of water. Manager Yao had new clothes and shoes delivered to them.

Her body smells good and her hair is silky. For the first time in her life, Tan Yanling looked like a human being.

Later, Manager Yao arranged a small courtyard for Tan Shuya in Xi'an city and sent two women to serve her. Tell her that firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc. will be delivered on time. Every month, there is also monthly money.

Tan Shuya cried again and excitedly told her daughter to serve Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai well.

At that time, Tan Yanling felt like she was in heaven, and she nodded solemnly in response.

She stayed in the villa, living in an exquisite courtyard, and was cared for by a maid.

But at that time, she did everything by herself. It was neatly tidied up all day long, and the inside and outside of the house were cleaned.

There are many girls in the Bai family, and there are countless unworn clothes and shoes. It was all given to her, but she was not used to wearing it. The shoes were too soft and the skirt was cumbersome...

Every time I put it on, the girls will laugh for a long time.

She didn't understand. She didn't know that people were laughing at her, so she giggled along with them. But even if she knows, she doesn't care!

He even licked the eating plates clean in front of them...

Every day, she would run to Mrs. Bai's place, and follow the girls to work regardless of whether they needed it or not. Praising Madam Bai simply and sincerely...

If Mr. Bai was there, she would talk more energetically, often making Mr. Bai laugh.

So, slowly, everyone seemed to like her.

How could Mrs. Bai need her to serve her? Let her go to class with the girl and say hello to the gentlemen: learn as she wishes without demanding too much.

During this class, Tan Yanling's original cleverness and little tricks were suddenly useless.

Because, she found that those were useless.

The girl from the Bai family, who is older than Bai Yuqing, is Bai Yuzi who is five years old.

He is two years younger than her and has just begun to enlighten. However, I can already write the names of all the sisters, recite poems, and draw pictures. He could also say something that she couldn't understand at all.

And she... even though she could catch slippery loaches, she couldn't use a pen... Even she herself didn't think the words she wrote looked good.

When Mr. Bai has free time, he will personally check the homework of his sisters. If they do not do it seriously, he will do it himself.

But when he saw her words, Mr. Bai just smiled and never talked about her or hit her. He would comfort her: "I can see that Xiao Ling'er worked very hard!"

She was particularly happy and thought: Mr. Bai treats her differently!
Years later, she realized that it was just that he didn't have any requirements for her and didn't pay attention to her. Just encouraging a poor little girl.

The Bai family often holds various banquets, tea parties, flower parties, music parties...

One day, at a concert, Mrs. Bai played the guqin. It turned out that she could play it so beautifully!
Mr. Bai listened and watched, fascinated!
Tan Yanling, who was so young, didn't care what happened to her. Seeing this scene, she was extremely displeased.

So, she made up her mind to practice hard, but even though she worked a hundred times harder than others. But still: the words are shapeless, the paintings are shapeless, the flute leaks, the singing is out of tune, and the strings always break when playing the piano...

In fact, she was not as bad as she thought, but she was too eager and unlucky to meet the Bai family...

At this time, she is no longer the silly girl who just came here.

Pay attention to dress and behavior, and also command the girls appropriately.

She hopes to become the real master of the Bai family and hopes to be favored by Mr. Bai. Finally, I gave up everything else and just focused on practicing calligraphy. Her handwriting was measured and practiced with a ruler. There are stupid ways to be stupid!
When she was thirteen years old, Mr. Bai finally praised her: "Yeah! She wrote very neatly!"

She was very happy, and she found another way to get close to Mr. Bai.

There is a large yard in the villa, where Mr. Bai works. He always does strange things...

Sometimes, it is necessary to mix mud, chop, clean, dry, refine, etc...

Sometimes, the girls from the Bai family also come here, because there is a kiln in the back where they can bake the pottery they make.

Tan Yanling was very good at the work here, and she was willing to put in the effort, so she quietly gathered around Mr. Bai.

Mr. Bai started by saying: "This place is dirty. Xiao Ling'er should go drink tea and chat with the sisters.

Tan Yanling secretly laughed: Oh, how can I, a poor girl like me, be lucky enough to be their sister?

They basically look down on me, okay?
In fact, they would even talk to me properly.

That time, I just told them some trivial gossip and chatted with them... As a result, I was severely criticized by them: It is not the behavior of a gentleman to criticize others behind their backs.

Pooh! I am a woman, how can I be a gentleman? Aren't you just looking down on my background and looking for reasons to run against me? What to pretend to be?

Another example: they entertain guests at home and go out as guests, but never take the initiative to invite themselves!
And that time: I went to the Huichun Pavilion to enjoy the flowers, and it started to rain. They actually asked me to come back with the girl to get an umbrella, and they even said with a smile that I ran fast...

Aren't I afraid of getting caught in the rain? Just make it clear that you treat me like a slave!

On birthdays between the sisters, they spend a long time carefully selecting gifts. And for my birthday, they... just take whatever they have on hand!
Fool me, dismiss me, look down on me!

No matter how small the matter was, she would not let it go, settling in her heart and turning into full of hatred.

Now, she can finally be with Mr. Bai, which is what she wanted!
Watching Mr. Bai do things every day, she felt indescribable satisfaction. Remember with your heart and help with all your strength. Push aside those who had done the trick.

I don’t know how long it took for this to become a habit.

"Xiao Ling'er?!" This was Mr. Bai's first words when he arrived. She became his right helper!

There is a temporary place for Mr. Bai to take a nap here...

Tan Yanling has long been familiar with the affairs of men and women, and she even secretly looks for books to read in the Bai family's study... She will sneak into the house when no one is paying attention, lie on his bed, smell the special incense, and wish she would die on it. …

Because she was particularly good at disguising, no one in the Bai family knew that she was looking forward to him painfully and loving him hopelessly.

Fast forward a few years, she was seventeen, and Mrs. Bai invited Tan Shuya over. Mentioning her marriage...

"When you're old enough, see for yourself. If it doesn't work, hire a matchmaker. There are outstanding people in Xijing City, and there are many good people to come. It's better to find them early!"

After hearing this, Tan Yanling was shocked and looked at Mr. Bai secretly...

Tan Shuya said gently: "I work at home all day long, and I really don't recognize anyone. Madam, can you please help me find a match for her?"

But Mr. Bai said: "Hey, I have a good friend who lives in Linshui and has an unmarried son at home..."

When Tan Yanling heard this, he turned around and ran away...

Mr. Bai laughed loudly: "Little girl, you are still shy! You have grown up after all!"

She went back into the house, threw herself on the pillow, and burst into tears.

Later, Tan Shuya happily said to her: "Although Madam said that she has no time to take care of your marriage and asked mother to find it for you, she will let you take everything in your house with her. She will also give you one thousand taels of silver." Make a dowry! Oh my god, big girl..."

"Don't call me big girl! My name is Yanling!" Tan Yanling suddenly became furious.

"Ah! I'm so scared. What's wrong with you? One thousand taels! Back then, your father had only thirty taels and was going to sell you to a brothel..."

"Shut up! Are you stupid? Can you even say this? When did that happen? Did you know about it in the previous life?! If this matter is exposed, I won't even be able to marry an outstanding young man, you know? ? Are you so stupid... Or do you even dare to look down on me? Huh? "

She didn't dare to curse loudly, but she couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart, so she grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it to the ground.

The mother-in-law outside heard the sound and came in.

But he found Tan Yanling picking it up on the ground... and said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't catch it, it broke!"

Tan Shuya, who was sitting on the side, was completely dumbfounded.

After Mrs. Bai finished talking to Tan Shuya about finding a husband for her, she stopped mentioning it.

Mr. Bai went out at the invitation of a friend.

Tan Yanling was in pain and hesitant, wandering around Xijing city all day long.

One day, she came home and found a note on her body.

Above it is a very handsome handwriting: "Li Da Niu: I know the details of you and your mother. Two days later, we will meet at Qingfeng Teahouse. If you don't come, I will go find Mrs. Bai!"
