Xiaojiaxiu

Chapter 149 The provincial capital has arrived
Originally thought it would be like staying in an inn like in Fucheng, but unexpectedly the carriage stopped in a courtyard in an alley.

After everyone got out of the carriage, the accompanying young man went to the courtyard door and knocked on the door. After a while, a middle-aged couple opened the courtyard door.

"Master!" Seeing that it was their own master, the couple hurried forward to salute.

"En! Is the house ready?" Master Bai asked hoarsely.

"Master, everything is packed!" The couple replied in unison.

"Everyone is tired today, let's not talk about those etiquette, let's take a rest first!" Master Bai turned and said to the others, the exhaustion on his face was evident in his eyes.

Everyone was indeed tired, so they all nodded in agreement.

"Feng Er, take Mr. Liang to the guest room to rest!" Master Bai instructed the middle-aged man.

Liang Xiucai was not used to being called this way, but he still nodded to the middle-aged man named Feng Er, and followed him into the courtyard.

"Daughter-in-law Feng, take Miss Siya's mother and daughter to the guest room to rest!" Master Bai looked at Siya's mother and daughter, and ordered to the middle-aged woman.

"Excuse me!" Mrs. Zhao didn't know how to address this woman, so she could only nod and thank her for her mother and daughter.

"Your words are serious, please come with me!" The woman naturally did not accept this gift from Mrs. Zhao, she smiled and led Mrs. Zhao's mother and daughter into the yard.

Zhao's mother, daughter, and Juan'er greeted Master Bai, Mrs. Bai and Shen Yan, and then followed Mrs. Feng into the courtyard.

Siya saw that the woman acted so neither humble nor overbearing, she was flattered like this, but Zhao Shi seemed a little petty, so she couldn't help but look at this woman differently!
After Liang Xiucai, Zhao's mother, daughter, and Juan'er all entered the courtyard, Master Bai brought Mrs. Bai, two daughters and Shen Yan into the courtyard to rest.

"Uncle, aunt, Cousin Xin, Cousin Ning, then I'll go to rest!" Compared to Shen's residence in the capital, Shen Yan always felt that this small courtyard was his home.

After bidding farewell to his uncle, aunt, and two cousins, Shen Yan returned to his room. Because he has been studying in the school here, this house is specially prepared by Master Bai for him.

Master Bai brought his wife and children here before, so the residence is naturally the same as before, and there is no need to rearrange it.

After Feng Er's wife took Siya's mother and daughter to the guest room, she simply arranged a room for them, and then went to the kitchen to prepare hot water for them.

Each of the guest rooms is roughly the same, Zhao's mother and daughter plus Juan'er are exactly eight people, and there is one room for every two people, exactly four rooms.The room was very clean, and the quilts on the bed could smell of new cotton, which seemed to be freshly prepared.

After a while, Feng Er's daughter-in-law brought two maids to bring hot water. Zhao's mother and daughter simply washed up and went to bed to rest. Their physical and mental exhaustion made them fall asleep quickly.

I planned to rest for a while and then get up for dinner, but everyone was too deep in sleep, so no one got up until dinner time.

Feng Er and Feng Er's daughter-in-law had prepared hot water and meals in the kitchen, and they only waited for Master Bai and the others to have food immediately after they got up.

This waited until the unitary hour, that is, around [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. In ancient times, there were twelve hours in a day, so in modern time, it was around [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m.

Even though eight o'clock in the evening is nothing in modern times, but for the ancients, eight o'clock in the evening is basically an inactive time, and naturally this is also for most people.

This time everyone slept very tired and comfortable, and what was so tired was that when they woke up, their backs ached all over their bodies, as if someone had beaten them in their sleep.What is comfortable is that there is no dream in the whole process. Although the mind is still a little groggy, but there is no such tired feeling, and there is only a light feeling of relaxation.

After Zhao's mother and daughter and Juan'er woke up, a maid brought hot water over. Such attentive service really made Zhao's mother and daughter feel a little embarrassed to come.

When I was in the inn, the service of those servants was different from the nature of these maids. Si Ya always thought that it was paid for, but the service of this maid was another feeling.

Si Ya couldn't tell, but she just felt uncomfortable. Apparently, Mrs. Zhao and the others felt the same way. Being used to doing things by themselves, they tried their best to do it by themselves.

After washing up, the maid took Zhao's mother, daughter, and Juan'er to the living room for dinner. The maid asked Zhao's mother, daughter, and Juan'er to eat first, saying that it was Master Bai, his wife, young master Biao, and Liang Xiucai who would come later. come over.

This is just right, I felt awkward eating with Master Bai and the others, but now I can eat freely.

The meals on the table are relatively light. I think this is because I think that everyone has just woken up, so it is better to eat light, so I prepared it this way.

After waking up from this sleep, everyone's stomachs were indeed empty. It was really good to drink the thick boiled white rice porridge, and it was even more comfortable to add this simple side dish.

"Sorry! We're late!" When Zhao's mother and daughter and Juan'er had almost eaten, Master Bai and Mrs. Bai brought the two young ladies over.

After a while, Shen Yan and Liang Xiucai also came over, presumably they came here together as they got better.

After the rest just now, Master Bai has recovered his usual spirit, walked to the living room with big strides, and then spoke politely to Mrs. Zhao's mother and daughter in a loud voice.

Mrs. Bai's complexion obviously improved a lot, and she greeted Mrs. Zhao with a smile.

Now that Master Bai and the others have come, Mrs. Zhao and the others can't leave the table right away, so they can only put down their chopsticks and wait for them to eat.

After Master Bai and the others finished their meal, everyone started chatting casually. Because they were in a hurry, they usually didn't have much time to communicate.

Master Bai talked with Zhao's mother and daughter, and Juan'er about the house, and asked Siya's mother and daughter if they were used to living there.

Siya's mother, daughter, and Juan'er said that they live very comfortably. After all, this is also true. Even if the house here is temporary, it is much better than Siya and the others. Everything is prepared ready-made by someone, how can this be bad!

"Uncle Bai! What are we going to do next?" Si Ya asked Master Bai.

There are three purposes for coming here this time, one is the exam for Shen Yan and Liang Xiucai, the other is about opening a shop, and the last thing is the Maple Leaf of Fengshan.

Si Ya didn't know how Master Bai arranged it, so she wanted to find out first.

"Hey! I guess you must ask this girl!" Master Bai said with a smile.

"That's right! We are treated so well, but we have to do something for Uncle Bai in order to feel at ease! Otherwise, living in this big house, it would be uncomfortable to eat delicacies from mountains and seas." Although Siya said It sounds like a joke, but Si Ya really thinks so.

"Good! Good! You really didn't disappoint me, girl, don't worry, you definitely deserve the treatment!" Master Bai admired Siya very much, especially at this time.

"Master Bai needs help, just say it, we mother and daughter will try our best to do it!" As Si Ya's mother, Mrs. Zhao had to say something.

"Si Ya Niang is too polite. You can eat and live here with peace of mind. If you have anything to do, Bai will definitely not be polite!" Master Bai is much older than Mrs. Zhao, but he speaks very respectfully.

"That's right! Sister Zhao just treats her as her own home!" Mrs. Bai, as the head of the house, said self-consciously.

After talking for a while, it was getting late, and everyone said goodbye to each other and went back to the house.

After breakfast the next day, Master Bai took Shen Yan and Bai Xiucai to visit the famous teachers in the provincial capital, which was naturally for their country examination three days later.

Mrs. Bai's spirit improved a lot, and she invited Zhao's mother and daughter to talk in the pavilion in the garden. Naturally, the women talked about clothes, jewelry, children and so on.

Mrs. Zhao doesn't know much about clothes and jewelry, and she mostly listens to Mrs. Bai alone. Only when it comes to children, Mrs. Zhao said something with a smile.

Fortunately, Mrs. Bai is not a blank person, so she picked a topic that both of them could talk about.

In fact, Mrs. Bai didn't know much about Master Bai's business, so she wondered how the Zhao mother and daughter got acquainted with her master.

Master Bai usually doesn't talk to Madam Bai about business matters, he just asks Madam Bai to treat Zhao's mother and daughter well. Find out what.

Mrs. Bai asked the two Miss Bai to take Da Ya sisters and Juan'er to play in the garden, so only Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhao were left in the pavilion.

"I don't know what kind of business sister Zhao's husband's family is in, and how did he meet my master!" Because she was on her way, Madam Bai never had a chance to ask about this matter.

Zhao was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Seeing Zhao's embarrassment, Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else. If it's not convenient for Sister Zhao to say it, it's okay!"

As Madam Bai spoke, she took a sip of the tea on the table, and kept the smile on her face.

"No! No! There's nothing I can't say. It's just that I don't know very well. We only heard about this matter from my fourth daughter!" Seeing that Mrs. Bai had misunderstood, Mrs. Zhao quickly explained.

"Sister Zhao really gave birth to some good daughters! I also often hear my master praise how capable Siya is!" Mrs. Bai said to Mrs. Zhao enviously.

"It's all because of the kindness of Master Bai and Young Master Bai, otherwise, how could Si Ya have done such a big thing!" Mrs. Zhao said modestly.

"Oh! That's what it should be, who made my master like Siya so much!" Mrs. Bai has seen her master's fancy for Siya these few times, so she said with a smile.
