Chapter 374: Auntie brings you a New Year gift
Bai Ziqian looked at his aunt covered in gold in the carriage, and said in a light tone: "Aunt, what is the purpose of coming this time?"
Mammy took the lead and said: "Oh, young master, this is your dear aunt, the aunt of the Bai family. Isn't it the most important thing for her to come to see you, the only child of the Bai family?"
Then he glanced at the villagers and sneered: "You can't blame you, young master. You are with a group of country people every day. How much etiquette can you know?
Mr. Bai is really a fool. He didn't put you in the home of our county magistrate to learn the ways of the world, but put you in this countryside. Isn't it a waste of time?"
In the past, the villagers would definitely think that this was right. The sons of wealthy families must be placed in the county magistrate's home. Apart from other things, the master's knowledge is far from theirs!
This nephew from the lady's mother's family has been staying for a while, and he has to teach him carefully.
But after the night before, hey, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Although they are not educated, they will not harm people! There is no mean and malicious intention, at least Mr. Bai will not grow up crooked here with them!
Mr. Bai is smart and knows how to treat Mr. Bai best.
The unfriendly eyes of the villagers made the nanny lean back in fear, and then she straightened up a little and looked at Bai Ziqian steadily.
She is the head nanny of Wu County Magistrate's house. Not to mention the young master, even if Li Huyu comes, she has to give her three points of face.
After all, Bai Ziqian is young and can't learn the ability to hide his emotions. At that moment, his fair face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He looked straight at the old nanny beside his aunt and asked: "No matter how bad my etiquette is, it is a matter between our masters. It's your turn as a servant to comment?
Besides, the villagers of Shanshui Village don't owe me a penny. Why should I be ridiculed by you? Shouldn't the nanny apologize?!"
The villagers who were watching the excitement were angry before, but to be honest, they had long been accustomed to being inferior. They never expected that the young master of the Bai family would stand up for them and even offend the old nanny beside his aunt!
This, this, it doesn't matter if they are looked down upon and ridiculed. It doesn't hurt. If they offend the old nanny, they will offend his aunt. If she goes back and complains to Old Lady Bai, won't Bai Ziqian be accused of disrespecting his elders?
The men and women didn't know how to persuade them, and they didn't want to watch the fun anymore. They all looked at Shui Qing, anxious and didn't know what to do.
Shui Qing thought that Bai Ziqian was still a novice.
Look at his father Bai Manshan, smiling on his face, and in his heart, uh, the person in front of him is his sister, so he can't scold her.
Forget it, Ziqian should follow his own ideas. After all, if he endures for a while, he will get angrier and angrier, and if he takes a step back, he will lose more.
The old nanny's face turned red and blue, and she felt that the young master of the Bai family made her lose face in front of a group of villagers who were much lower than her.
But he was right. He was the young master of the Bai family and the master. Since we are talking about etiquette and hierarchy, she has no right to say anything about him!
With her old face covered in red and blue, she turned around and looked at the master in the carriage.
Bai Ling's face was not good either. She first glanced at Shui Qing, and seeing that Shui Qing didn't care, and didn't even say a word to scold her, she was even more unhappy.
This village woman was smart. She didn't say anything to offend Qian'er, wasn't it to please Qian'er?
Well, she didn't say anything, and her aunt said, "Qian'er"
Bai Ziqian interrupted: "Aunt, I have lived in Shanshui Village for almost a year, and you just know about it? Tomorrow is the New Year, and you are not coming here today to take me to your house to celebrate the New Year, right?"
Bai Ling choked. Guangzong and Yaozu have always been at odds with their cousin Qian'er. It's fine if they don't like each other on weekdays, but it's not good to take Qian'er over during the New Year to make trouble for their two precious sons.
Besides, she didn't just know that Qian'er was here... Fortunately, she made preparations before coming here!
She smiled and said lovingly, "You are the only child of our Bai family, how can aunt not think about you?
In the past, I trusted Hu and knew that she would not treat you badly. If I come here often, it would seem that I don't trust her.
But tomorrow is the New Year, so I thought I would come to see you and give you some New Year gifts."
Shui Qing couldn't help but sigh why the old saying goes that you should not hit a smiling person. This is all a summary of experience.
Look at Bai Ling, who has lost her previous domineering attitude and smiled lovingly, looking like a caring elder, how can she still be ruthless?
Besides, she also brought New Year gifts. Bai Ziqian, the nephew, is not made of stone. How can he continue to be hard?
Bai Ziqian's eyes lit up, looking at Bai Ling, and asked excitedly, "What did aunt bring to nephew?"
Bai Ling's mouth curled up a smile, and she was still a child!
She gestured to the maid next to the carriage, and the maid immediately bowed and led Bai Ziqian to the next carriage.
Bai Ziqian did not hesitate and seemed very interested.
As the servant was carrying out the things, the maid introduced: "Young Master, look at this big box with crystal clear little pieces inside. Do they look like ice cubes?
It nourishes yin and produces body fluids, moistens the lungs and relieves coughs, especially for dry coughs, dry coughs without phlegm, etc. It is rare and more expensive than sugar!
The lady ordered it for you, a full five pounds! If it weren't for the county magistrate, the owner of the sugar shop would not agree."
Hearing the maid say this, the onlookers couldn't help but be curious and wanted to see what was inside? Otherwise, why would even Bai Ziqian be stunned.
Shuiqing was also curious. What kind of precious thing was this? Did the craftsmanship get lost later?
She came forward to see it, and was stunned like Bai Ziqian.
Bai Ling helped the nanny get off the carriage. Seeing that her nephew and Hu Shuiqing were stunned, she raised her chin and said, "Its name is also very nice. It is transparent like ice, so it is called 'rock sugar'."
Shuiqing: ..... I always thought that rock sugar was worthless. I often used it to stir-fry sugar color when making braised pork and braised spareribs. Who knew it was still a valuable thing!
Bai Ziqian: ..... Isn't this the sugar that my aunt used to stir-fry the pot in advance when making meat dishes? I didn't expect that my aunt would be so generous to them. Every time he thought that my aunt was very good to them, he would find that his cognition was far from enough!
And my aunt never said how good she was to them, but she was always fierce when she asked them to work. Woohoo, my aunt is really a kind-hearted person with a bad face
Shuiqing didn't know what Bai Ziqian was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely scold her for being a bad-looking person! She is obviously a beautiful person with a kind heart!
Then Bai Ziqian looked at Shuiqing with moved eyes.
Shuiqing was confused.
Bai Ling was also confused.
I really want to ask my nephew if he made a mistake, it was obviously her who sent the rock candy!
She looked at the maid, and the maid quickly introduced another one: "This is the best five-color candy sold in the candy shop, it weighs three pounds."
Bai Ziqian nodded boredly.
Uncle Wenhua must buy candy balls every time he comes to the city, and then Sister Jiajia will give him some from time to time, and he has long been tired of eating them.
Wait!
Uncle Wenhua bought five-color candy balls, why is it always Sister Jiajia who gives them to him?
