Chapter 1232 Reminder
Chapter 1232 ·Reminder
Bai Rongxuan was still preparing to chase her out and see her off, but Min Tingke said without looking back, "No need to send her off, I can recognize the way out."
Bai Rongxuan stopped in front of the door, and her back quickly disappeared into the rain.
When Aunt Fang saw Min Tingke leaving, she ran over uneasily and asked, "Master Zhi, what happened? Why did Master Liu come here early in the morning?"
Bai Rongxuan did not hide it and told her what happened outside.
Aunt Fang said in shock, "It's incredible that such a thing happened to the Lu family."
Bai Rongxuan was thinking about Min Tingke's later words.
If you want to confirm the true intention of Mr. Bai back then, you have to start with the person who served him. Although Aunt Fang is also Mr. Bai, she was still young and a maid at that time, so she must not know the inside story.
Bai Rongxuan suddenly thought of Manager Hu mentioned earlier that Aunt Fang had previously.
He is the confidant of his grandfather and must know him better than others.
Bai Rongxuan immediately asked, "Aunt Fang, you told me about Manager Hu before. Does he still live at home?"
Although Aunt Fang was surprised, she replied, "I have been guarding the yard of the old man during his lifetime. He has followed the old man. Although the second wife no longer valued it, she did not dare to neglect it. After the old man passed away, Manager Hu stayed to guard the yard and kept his duties on weekdays, so no one could do anything to him."
The implication is that the second wife is still very afraid of Manager Hu, so she has never dared to touch him over the years.
Once the emperor and his ministers, with the character of Mrs. Cai, it is impossible for him to keep such a big trouble at home. The reason why he keeps moving is probably too unmovable. Thinking of this, Bai Rongxuan wanted to meet this manager Hu even more.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Fang said, "But in recent years, Manager Hu has not left his home and has not easily seen people."
Bai Rongxuan said inexplicably, "Why?"
Aunt Fang smiled slightly, "After all, he has been a bad guy by the old man and knows too much. If he lets himself meet someone casually, the people in the second room will probably have to be more attentive, and his life in the Bai family will not be easy."
So that's it.
Bai Rongxuan nodded.
Aunt Fang asked, "Does Mr. Zhi have anything to ask him?"
Bai Rongxuan smiled, "It's true that there are some old things I want to ask about, but my aunt also reminded me that when I go to him at this time, I'm afraid the second room level will be difficult. It's better to have less things than more. I'd better not ask for it first, there will always be a chance in the future."
Aunt Fang said, "Young Master Zhi is right. When you officially take over the three-bedroom property, you will talk about it."
Bai Rongxuan thought about it and decided to sit at Mrs. Min. After all, Min Tingke rushed over early in the morning and must not be able to hide it from Mrs. Min. If she didn't explain, she would probably make Mrs. Min unhappy.
She called Wu Jie, and the two of them went to Yinfeng Pavilion with umbrellas.
Mrs. Min said in surprise, "Why are you here on this heavy rainy day?"
Bai Rongxuan smiled and said, "Uncle Six has just arrived, do you know?"
Mrs. Min said, "Of course I know that when he came out of you, he came to me and said hello."
Bai Rongxuan said, "Then do you know why he came?"
Mrs. Min said, "This is your young people's business, I won't worry about this. It's not a big deal, otherwise he wouldn't hide it from me."
Bai Rongxuan whispered to explain Min Tingke's purpose, but never mentioned the Lu family's affairs.
Mrs. Min frowned when she heard the sound, "This second wife... has been over the years, but she still insists on this matter. Cai regards this as Shangfang's sword, why can she scare people even if she takes it out?"
Her face looked very bad.
Bai Rongxuan said, "Although it has been many years, everyone has a conclusion in their hearts. What she likes to say is her business. I don't care about it. I just need to do my own thing with dignity. The truth will be revealed sooner or later. I don't need to explain it at that time. God will clear my mother's innocence."
Mrs. Min sighed softly, "It's good that you can think so, I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable."
Bai Rongxuan said, "I guessed that this would happen before I returned to Shanghai. I had already prepared for it, so I naturally wouldn't keep it in my heart."
As soon as Madam Yi mentioned the second room, she had no good face. She heard the voice, "This Cai did things like a headless fly, looking at her head and not caring about her tail. As the saying goes, it will affect her whole body. What benefits can spread such rumors do to her? After all, aren't people being valued as the entire Bai family?"
Mrs. Min said, "She is not ignoring her head and tail. She is thinking carefully. But it's nothing. This matter is not new. Most people in Shanghai know that this kind of old sesame and grain is not worth mentioning. As long as a little fresh happens, these people will run over like mosquitoes seeing blood. It will naturally fade in two days, and ignore it."
Bai Rongxuan also said, "Others like to say we can't control it, let them say we'll go."
Mrs. Min glanced at her, "Your sixth uncle came early in the morning just to tell you this? Did he teach you how to break the deadlock?"
He has done more than just teaching.
Bai Rongxuan didn't dare to say much, for fear that things would become more troublesome when she was involved in the Lu family. Bai Rongxuan said, "Uncle Six has the same meaning as you, so I don't have to take it to my heart."
Mrs. Min nodded, "Then don't go out these days, read and practice calligraphy at home with peace of mind... By the way, how did your father copy the calligraphy?"
Bai Rongxuan said with a bitter face, "I have persisted for these days and haven't even learned a 10% essence."
Mrs. Min smiled and said, "This is not something you can learn overnight. Take your time and I will show you a few paintings I have drawn recently." Then she stood up and led Bai Rongxuan to the small study.
Mrs. Min’s small study is much more spacious and elegant than Bai Rongxuan’s one. There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the bamboo green tablecloth, and there is a bit of flower fragrance in the air, which smells like jasmine.
Bai Rongxuan couldn't help but sniff it hard.
Mrs. Min, who noticed, said, "It's jasmine fragrance. Last year, Xiao Liu gave me a few pots of jasmine flowers. I don't like to raise them. When they bloom, I told people to take down all the buds and dry them and put them in sachets." She said, while picking a lotus-colored sachet from the hook on the table. "Do you like it? I'll give you one and take it back and hang it in the study. This smell can calm the mind and be of some use."
Bai Rongxuan took it with her hands respectfully.
Mrs. Min said, "I will ask Xiaoliu for a few more pots this year, and we will do it as we do."
Bai Rongxuan smiled without saying a word.
Mrs. Min took out her paintings from the past few days for her to see, "Look, this one I am most satisfied with."
It was a light ink picture of reeds and kingfishers. The large reeds were casual in their brushwork, but they were calm and free, while the kingfisher was extremely delicate, and even their feathers were clear, appearing vividly as if they were about to spread their wings and fly away at any time.
Bai Rongxuan exclaimed, "The artistic conception of this picture is really good."
Mrs. Min said, "Brother Zhi will appreciate it. Finally, I didn't waste my efforts these days. I took it out for your sixth uncle a few days ago. He glanced at it and picked out a lot of problems. It was really annoying to me."
Bai Rongxuan couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong with him?"
