After Jian Yu finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yue affectionately. Bai Yue lowered his head at the sight. He had to lower his head. If he kept looking at Jian Yu again, he would be afraid that he would be unable to hold himself tight and would vomit.
"Is that so?" Jian's mother looked at Bai Yue doubtfully.
Bai Yue whispered: "It is true that I want to follow you. Although there are some people in Dali Temple who are afraid of people, I am not afraid of Mo Yi."
"When my father saw you, he said that you were just like your parents, bold and careful." Mother Jian smiled slightly and patted Bai Yue's hand: "You are not afraid of Dali Temple. It shows that my father has really good taste."
The father Mrs. Jian refers to is Jian Yu's grandfather, the old man of the Jian family.
Bai Yue's parents saved him and the old lady who had passed away at that time, and they had this finger-tip marriage. It was also him who supported Bai Yue in Jian's house and told Jian Yu to kneel in the ancestral hall.
You have to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Mentioning Mr. Jian, Bai Yue suddenly became very confident and said with a grateful face: "Actually, my family has undergone sudden changes, and I was very worried when I came here. I didn't expect that my grandfather and uncle and aunt were so kind to me, so I didn't know how to express my gratitude.
."
"You." Mrs. Jian smiled and said, "Don't worry so much at a young age. If you are really serious, go and talk to grandpa more often, and he will be happy."
This is naturally what should be done. Bai Yue happily responded: "Okay, Auntie."
If necessary, she could not only talk to the old man, but also chat with the deceased old lady in front of the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall. Only Jian Yu could not think of it, and she could not do it.
Mrs. Jian chatted for a while and saw that Bai Yue looked normal and not scared, so she felt relieved and let them go back to eat and rest.
"You young people have something to say together, so you don't need to accompany me." Mrs. Jian waved her hand away: "Go, go, it's cold, wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold."
The two of them didn't look like an unmarried couple they had never met before. They looked like newlyweds with deep feelings. They said goodbye to Mrs. Jian together and walked out side by side.
After walking out of Yiranju, they turned a corner and reached a place that was absolutely invisible inside. The two of them quickly took a step to the left and right.
Jian Yu said disgustedly: "Looking at the way you fooled your mother, I know that you are used to lying. You talk sweet words and pretend to be pretentious, but there is no truth in your mouth."
"Both each other." Bai Yue said in disgust: "But my uncle and aunt love peace, so there is no need for them to worry about the grudges and hatreds among us young people."
The ancestral hall is a good place. When Jian Yu heard the words "peace-loving", he felt knee pain as a conditioned reflex. He did not dare to resist at that moment. He silently recited the sentence "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years" and turned around to leave.
Although Bai Yue lived under someone else's roof, he had his own small yard and didn't have to follow Jian Yu. He immediately gathered his clothes and returned to his room.
The weather is really cold. It's only November, but the temperature in Liangzhou City has dropped sharply. According to local people's experience, it's going to snow.
Peggy closed the door, opened the window, and lit a charcoal fire: "Miss Bai, you are from the south, haven't you seen snow yet?"
"..." Bai Yue paused: "Ah, yes, it never snows where we live, and it's not that cold in winter, but my father and I have gone out and we have seen snow outside."
It's better that we've seen it before, otherwise if it really snows tomorrow, we won't have to pretend to be surprised.
"Although it's cold in the snow, it's fun. It's white everywhere and it's beautiful." Peggy lay on the window and looked out, the wind blowing her hair and clothes flying around: "You can also build a snowman."
The innocent and lively little girl Peggy turned around: "Miss Bai, every year when it snows, there is a competition in our house."
Bai Yue was curious: "What kind of competition?"
"Snowman Building Contest."
"How do you compare, each person stacks one?" Bai Yue said in admiration: "You guys are really good at playing."
Peggy chuckled: "Based on the yard comparison, each yard will build a snowman or several snowmen, and then the old man, the old man and his wife will be the judges to choose the most interesting one."
"Is there any bonus?"
"Of course there is." Peggy said with great enthusiasm: "There is a bonus of twenty taels of silver for the first place. When I was in the second wife's yard, I won the first place once. The second wife didn't want the bonus and gave it to me.
We split..."
Peggy was delighted. The little girl only had less than one or two taels of silver a month. That time she got two taels of silver, which was equivalent to two months' wages. She was happy for a long time.
"That's it, then we have to use our brains." Bai Yue also likes money: "Find a way to win first place, and we will share the bonus."
Ever since Bai Yue entered the mansion, in order to make her feel like she was at home, Mrs. Jian told her that she would be treated the same as the ladies in the mansion, except for food and clothing, and a monthly salary of five taels.
This money, more or less, is certainly enough in Jian's house, but what if something unexpected happens? Bai Yue's life experience is complex, so he must try his best to save more and leave some escape route for himself.
In Hexiangju, with her and Peggy, plus two servants, each of them could share five taels. The master and servant looked at each other and smiled, both very satisfied.
In the middle of the night, snow began to fall. Bai Yue put on his clothes and got up and took a look. Sure enough, a layer of white had fallen on the ground.
Early the next morning, the steward came to each courtyard to spread the message.
A snowman-building competition in the Jian Mansion has begun. During the day, there is free time for free play. No one is allowed to peek in the yard. Tomorrow morning, the master, master and his wife will judge and score, and select this year's most interesting first prize.
The housekeeper smiled and said: "Miss Bai, you may not understand much when you come here. Madam specially told me that if you are in trouble, you can ask the eldest young master to help."
Bai Yue said sternly: "Then if I win, do I have to share the prize money with him?"
The housekeeper was questioned and couldn't answer the question for a while.
Bai Yue chuckled: "You're just kidding, I understand, thank you madam. If I didn't know how, I would ask Mo Yi to help."
The housekeeper wiped his sweat and left. Who said that Bai Yue, an outsider who had just entered the house, was timid and fearful and couldn't let go. Isn't this quite lively?
As soon as the housekeeper left, the boy hurried back with a few things wrapped in a large piece of cloth.
"Miss, please see if this works." The boy opened the package and placed it on the table. Inside were several round pieces of wood, each piece larger than a fist.
Bai Yue picked up the wood, looked at it, pressed it, and said with satisfaction: "Where is the knife? Have you got the knife?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The boy hurriedly took out a bag from his arms. He opened the bag and found several knives of different shapes inside.
"This is a good thing. I'm willing to borrow it because I'm very familiar with Master Liu." The boy said proudly, "Miss, do you think it's suitable for you?"
This is a set of carving knives with different blades, flat, oblique, triangular...
"Miss, can you also carve?" Peggy was very impressed: "You are really amazing."
"That's not the case." Bai Yue smiled proudly. Although his carving skills were not very refined, he could still carve a few small things with round heads and round heads.
