Chapter 1026 ·Xiaoshu

Bai Rongxuan stood in front of the door for a while, but she still didn't have the courage to walk into the door. She turned around and pretended to be relaxed and said to Aunt Fang and Tao Qing, "Let's go somewhere else."

Although Tao Qing felt strange in his heart, he still obediently guided the way forward.

The three of them got into a big circle in Lixue Hall, and didn't see a servant. Bai Rongxuan said in surprise, "Can you be busy with such a big garden?"

Tao Qing said, "I was a little busy at first, but later I gradually adapted and didn't feel tired. Anyway, there was nothing else to do, just keep the garden safe."

Bai Rongxuan nodded and asked again, "Didn't the second wife make things difficult for you?"

Tao Qing was stunned.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I am just a servant, how could the second wife make things difficult for me?"

Even if there is no dilemma, the years will definitely not be easy.

Bai Rongxuan could understand his sadness and said with a smile, "I just came to my house and I have no clue about many things. If you have any questions, just talk about it."

Tao Qing agreed happily.

The three of them came to the main hall of Lixue Hall, and Bai Rongxuan was a little tired from walking. Aunt Fang said, "Go in and sit for a while, have a cup of tea before leaving."

It's so considerate.

Bai Rongxuan agreed with a smile.

Although the main hall is simple in furnishings, it is clean and spotless, and it is obvious that it is used. Tao Qing brought Bai Rongxuan and Aunt Fang in and hurried to make tea.

After he left, Bai Rongxuan said to Aunt Fang, "There are too few servants in the garden."

Aunt Fang sighed softly, "Since the wife left home, the three-bedroom people have no backing, and the younger ones have found their own way out. Only a few old people guarding the empty house, so they naturally seem a little depressed now. However, since Master Zhi has returned home, everything will gradually get better. There are not enough servants, so you can just make up for it. Don't feel sad."

Bai Rongxuan nodded, "Take it slow, this is not a matter of rush."

Aunt Fang said, “That’s right.”

As he was talking, Tao Qing walked in with tea in sweat.

Bai Rongxuan drank a cup of tea, rested for a while, and got up to leave. Tao Qing said, "Young Master Zhi, the servants from the third room heard that you have come here, and they all want to kowtow to you outside the door. Is it convenient for you to see..."

After many years, most of the people who can still stick to the third room at this moment are loyal people.

Bai Rongxuan said, "Since that's the case, you can bring it over and meet, and there is no need to kowtow."

Tao Qing was very happy when he heard the sound. He turned around and went out. After a while, he led seven or eight servants in. Except for a young man who looked very similar to Tao Qing, the rest were all gray-haired old men, and some even walked tremblingly. Everyone hurriedly knelt down to greet Bai Rongxuan, shouting everything, and the scene was a little messy for a moment.

It was obvious that it was a temporary idea, and it was not prepared in advance.

Seeing this, Tao Qing was embarrassed and blushed and was about to explain to Bai Rongxuan. However, Bai Rongxuan said calmly, "Get up." She smiled and said to everyone, "Everyone has served her father and mother. Lixuetang can have today, so it is impossible for you to take care of you. You don't have to be polite, stand up and talk."

Seeing that she was speaking appropriately and very politely, the servants were relieved and supported each other and stood up. Some even burst into tears and cried, "The Third Master has a spirit in the sky. How happy it is to see Young Master Zhi as a talent now."

Aunt Fang said, "Why are you crying when you first meet Mr. Zhi today? Wipe your tears clean up, don't make Mr. Zhi feel uncomfortable."

Seeing that the young man standing behind Tao Qing kept his head down and silent, Bai Rongxuan asked, "You are Tao Yong?"

The young man nodded quickly, "If you come back to Master Zhi, I will be Tao Yong."

Bai Rongxuan said, "By seniority, I have to call you a yeast brother."

Tao Qing was startled when he heard the sound, "No... I dare not take it."

Bai Rongxuan said a few words to everyone. Seeing that it was getting late, Aunt Fang said, "Young Master Zhi, it's time for us to go back. We won't be able to find anyone during lunch later, and we're afraid that Mrs. Min will worry."

Bai Rongxuan stood up and said goodbye, and Tao Qing led everyone to take him to the gate.

On the way back, Aunt Fang asked, "What do you think?"

Bai Rongxuan only felt strange.

She took a deep breath, "It's pretty good."

Aunt Fang heard the loneliness in her tone, and was so smart that she didn't ask again.

When the two returned to Qizitang, the woman guarding the door immediately greeted her, "It's really time to come back, and she's about to have a meal."

After walking for a morning, Bai Rongxuan was sweating a lot. She accompanied her aunt to Ruyi Pavilion to change her clothes. Xiaoyuan hurried over and said, "The sister named Lian Qiao came just now. She said that Mrs. Min doesn't need you to have dinner with her at noon. She will be delivered directly after the meal."

Bai Rongxuan nodded and said she knew.

Aunt Fang, who was standing beside her, said, "Maybe the old lady is afraid that you will be uncomfortable, so she lets you eat by yourself."

Having an elder in front of you really makes people feel uncomfortable all over.

Bai Rongxuan also felt that eating was more comfortable.

After a while, the woman in the back stove brought lunch. The leading woman also said to Bai Rongxuan, "Master Zhi, our Qizitang has a small stove, so we don't move the firewood of the Bai family. If you want to eat, just send someone to speak, we will find a way to make it for you."

Bai Rongxuan thanked her with gratitude.

The old lady then went out with a smile on her face.

After she left, Bai Rongxuan asked Aunt Fang in confusion, "I heard that they were like Qizitang and the Bai family broke up."

Aunt Fang helped prepare the dishes and said, "Although it has not been demolished, it is almost the same."

Bai Rongxuan didn't understand her intentions.

Aunt Fang explained, "Once upon a time, there was only one back stove in the Bai family, and hundreds of people were all eating in the same pot. Later, after you were born, the old man felt sorry for your young age, so he built a small stove in his garden alone. Whatever you want to eat can be made there in time. Seeing this, Mrs. Min also built one in her own yard. At that time, the old lady and the old man had a bad relationship, and the two of them were unwilling to meet. The old lady lived in simplicity. If it weren't for important matters, she would hardly go out to Qizitang.

After the great-grandfather passed away, the Cai family took charge of the family and used the excuse of the expenses of the small stove to shut down the small stove at home. The Min family had not yet taken the initiative. Although Mr. Min was not happy, she still said nothing. Later, after Mr. Min took over, she decided to build one for the old lady, and from the chef to the servants, they were all from the Min family. Even the daily vegetables were supplied by the Min family. Although Mr. Cai was unhappy, since she did not spend the money of the Bai family, she naturally couldn't take care of the other person. In the end, she could only follow Mrs. Min's wishes."

Bai Rongxuan said, "Mr. Min Liu is really nice to Mrs. Min."

"Of course." Aunt Fang smiled, "Mr. Min Liu is the most filial. He rushed to do anything without waiting for the old lady to speak."

When the Min family was in trouble, it was Mrs. Min who was willing to marry into the Bai family as a successor, which made the Min family today. Min Liu was better to this aunt, so it was a reward, right?

Aunt Fang continued, "There are four or five masters in Qizitang's small stove. They have changed their cooking styles. You can eat more later and try their skills."

Bai Rongxuan thought about it and felt that there might be another possibility of Mr. Min Liu's arrangement. He felt that the second wife would tamper with Mrs. Min's meals, so he spared no effort to build a small stove for Qizitang, with the purpose of making Mrs. Min more at ease, right?

Has Mr. Min Liu ever seen the sinister and dirty methods of the second wife?
