Chapter 137 Persuasion
"Hmph!" Bai Zhengzhong snorted coldly: "It's such a big event, but you didn't come to inform me until now! Did the person sent by the imperial concubine tell me what it is?"

"I didn't mention it, I just said that I was talking with the empress."

Bai Zhengzhong paced in the room while meditating, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's easy to deal with the concubine's concubine's message. There are many etiquettes in the palace, and Mingzhu has made big and small mistakes all year. Let the madam go to the palace tomorrow and take good care of her, otherwise she will cause trouble to others."

"Yes, sir."

"There's also the stables. Let's harness the carriage tonight and check the condition of the horses. Don't have any accidents on the road tomorrow that will delay your entry to the palace."

"Yes, sir."

"What time is the imperial concubine's appointment?"

"Tomorrow is not the time."

After pondering for a moment, Bai Zhengzhong said: "Then let the two of them wait outside the palace gate at noon tomorrow, don't let it be too late."

"Yes, sir."

After explaining everything, Bai Zhengzhong noticed the servant girl in front of him. He sized it up carefully before remembering this person, and said with some uncertainty, "You, what is your name Liu?"

Fu Liu raised his head slightly to look at Bai Zhengzhong, then lowered his head and said, "The younger one is named Fu Liu."

"I remembered." Bai Zhengzhong took a mille-feuille cake out of the cage drawer as he spoke, and took a bite: "When I saw you that time, your face was still wounded."

Fu Liu gave a gentle smile: "It's the little one who did something wrong, so Madam will punish the little one."

When Bai Zhengzhong heard this, he snorted and said, "With her temper, she can find a reason to teach you a lesson if you haven't done anything wrong." Bai Zhengzhong patted the food residue on his hands after eating the thousand-layer cake and asked : "Madam, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"The madam said that I am afraid that the master has something to say, so I invite the master to discuss it in detail."

Bai Zheng knew in the middle that Mrs. Zheng wanted to make peace with Concubine Hua through the verbal instructions of Concubine Hua, so he said with disdain: "I have finished explaining everything I want to explain, and there is nothing more to tell her. I will still do it in the future." Rest in the study, same as before, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

"Yes, master." Fu Liuying paused for a moment after coming down, and suddenly said: "Master, Madam will enter the palace tomorrow to meet the imperial concubine, if you don't have a good rest tonight, you may look bad tomorrow." Fu Liu said in the voice After falling down, seeing Bai Zhengzhong frowned in displeasure, he immediately added: "Young master, I see that there are bruises on the master's eyes, it may be that the small bed in the study room is not comfortable to sleep on, and the quilts in the madam's room are all newly changed. Master, why don't you go and chat with your wife about entering the palace tomorrow, and by the way, make up for the sleep you haven't had these days."

Bai Zhengzhong was a little surprised, he didn't expect Fu Liu, a little maid who looked cautious in her words and deeds, to be able to speak so many words.He asked, "Is this what Madam asked you to say?"

"It's the little one who talks too much. Since I have business to discuss, the master and wife haven't had a good rest recently, so I thought..."

Thinking about it, it's true that Mrs. Zheng didn't explain it, so how could Mrs. Zheng find out that Bai Zhengzhong hasn't had a good rest recently?Not to mention thinking that it was because the small bed in the study room was not sleeping well.

It was only then that Bai Zhengzhong looked at Fu Liu carefully, and saw that she lowered her head slightly, her face was flushed, and she looked shy and timid when she spoke.Although Fuliu is not as beautiful as a flower, but looking at it now, the appearance with correct facial features is somewhat beautiful.

Bai Zhengzhong moved his mind slightly and asked, "How old are you?"

"The little one is eighteen this year."

"Oh? Eighteen? You don't have a family, do you?"

Fu Liu slowly shook his head and replied: "The young one was bought into the mansion by the steward six years ago."

"I see." Bai Zhengzhong nodded, and said to Fu Liu, "Who else is there in your family?"

Hearing this, Fuliu's face flashed a look of hesitation: "Master, the younger one's family all died of famine after the Yellow River flooded six years ago. The younger one is an orphan." He pulled the corners of his mouth with a forced smile: "It's all thanks to the care of the mansion all these years, and I'm always lucky when I was young. When I was sold by the matchmaker back then, I signed a death contract."

The deliberately small expression on Fuliu's face failed to escape Bai Zhengzhong's eyes, so Bai Zhengzhong felt that this maid's character was optimistic and gentle.For some reason, he thought of his original partner, Feng Shi.

Feng Shi is also an optimistic and gentle character. At that time, he always teased Feng Shi who was born in a merchant, but he didn't learn the businessman's care. Even if something happened to Zheng Shi, although she was sad, she never complained. Ai Ai's crying all day made him feel bad.

He and the young husband and wife of the Feng family, if the Zheng family hadn't appeared, perhaps the relationship between him and Feng's family should be very good now. Feng's temperament is soft and sticky, and he never argues with him. I can't even speak.If it wasn't because he was bewitched by the enchanting and proactive Zheng, he wouldn't have made Feng depressed all day long, and if he wasn't depressed, he wouldn't have died young.

But in the world, where are there so many ifs?
"Ugh……"

Hearing Bai Zhengzhong's sigh, Fu Liu raised his head to look at Bai Zhengzhong, and asked softly, "Master, did you think of something unhappy?"

Because Bai Zhengzhong was immersed in the nostalgia for Feng Shi, when he heard Fu Liu's words, he subconsciously wanted to answer, but he realized in time that the person standing in front of him was not Feng Shi, but a little maid, so he quickly changed his words : "Nothing. Is Madam in the house now?"

"Madam said that she will help Second Miss choose the clothes she will wear in the palace tomorrow. She should be in Second Miss' room now and will be back later."

"En." Bai Zhengzhong nodded, stood up, walked to the David vase placed in the corner behind the desk, rummaged through the scrolls inside, and said to Fu Liu without raising his head: "I Got it, I'll go with you later, you go out and wait."

"Yes, sir."

Fu Liu carried the drawer and slowly retreated to the door. When the door was closing, he looked up, but saw Bai Zhengzhong opening a scroll and examining it carefully, with some melancholy and sadness on his face.

What is the master looking at?His expression was so sad when he was distracted just now, what did he think of?Fu Liu, who was waiting outside the door, couldn't help wondering.

Seeing that Fuliu had come out but did not leave, Laifu asked, "How is it? Is the master going to rest in the backyard?"

"Yeah." Fu Liu smiled and nodded, "Let me wait here, and go to Madam's room with me later."

Laifu grinned when he heard this: "Madam is really capable."
