Chapter 775: The eldest lady of the Bai family is here
Da Pan's face flushed again.
At this time, Shi Liu came in and reported with a strange expression: "Madam, Miss, the eldest lady of the Bai Mansion is here and wants to see Miss."
Old Mrs. Su was stunned.
Why would Mrs. Bai suddenly come at this hour?
When wealthy families visit other people's homes, they usually send invitations in advance.
It's really rare to see someone coming here so rashly.
Besides, the two families had no dealings with each other before.
Old Madam Su said quickly, "Please ask the Madam to go to the main hall."
After saying that, he stood up and called Tangbao and his two daughters-in-law to go out and greet them.
Regardless of the relationship between the Bai family and the Xia family, just in terms of rank, the eldest lady of the Bai family is much higher than Old Lady Su.
Tang Bao roughly guessed the purpose of the Bai family's eldest lady's visit.
The delicate little brows couldn't help but frown.
The eldest lady of the Bai family wore a scarlet double-breasted long jacket embroidered with rich peonies, and a dark green brocade cape on the outside. She wore a full set of red gold and kingfisher feather headpiece on her head, and a string of gold rings inlaid with emeralds on her fingers. She looked extremely wealthy.
However, the combination of red and green made Tang Bao's mouth twitch.
Behind the eldest lady of the Bai family followed four maids in green bodices and four old women in brown jackets.
Some of these people held boxes in their hands, and some held luxurious materials.
"I'm sorry for coming here so presumptuously, Madam Su, please don't mind." The eldest lady of the Bai family said with a smile, her face full of amiability.
Tang Bao felt that the smile on the face of the eldest lady of the Bai family was much more sincere than when she was a guest at the Bai Mansion during the day.
It seems that I was not wrong.
Old Madam Su quickly said politely, "Madam Bai's presence is a great honor to our humble home. Why should we be surprised? Please come in!"
Old Lady Su greeted the eldest lady of the Bai family and entered the main hall for receiving guests, then hurriedly ordered the maid to serve tea.
"We are from the countryside and don't have any good tea, so I made some scented tea myself. I hope Madam Bai won't mind." Old Mrs. Su said with a smile.
Although he said this, there was no trace of the awkwardness of a country boy.
The eldest lady of the Bai family smiled and said, "I just heard Madam Xia mention it today. Madam Su personally brews the scented tea. It is extremely fragrant and delicious, with a mellow taste. It is truly unique. I never thought I could drink it now. I am so lucky."
"Madam, you are too kind. I just made this at random and it is not worthy of being presented in a formal occasion." Old Mrs. Su said modestly.
Tang Bao said with a smile: "The flower tea that mother stir-fries is the best."
She is a child, so naturally she doesn't need to be humble on behalf of her mother.
But not everyone is qualified to drink the scented tea prepared by his own mother.
After hearing what Tang Bao said, the eldest lady smiled and said, "Mrs. Su is so lucky to have such a caring daughter."
If the eldest lady praised something else, Old Lady Su would naturally continue to be modest.
But praising Tang Bao is different.
"Mrs. Bai is right. Although my little girl is young, she is the most sensible and well-behaved one. She is much more considerate than all the other boys in the family."
The eldest lady's mouth twitched when she heard what Old Lady Su said.
I told you to wheeze and you're still panting!
It seems that whenever you and your daughter praise each other, you always use the word "the most"!
Regardless of what she was thinking, the eldest lady immediately said, "That's exactly right! Daughters are always more caring than sons. Speaking of which, I really love your little girl."
Xihan Tangbao's good fortune caught the attention of the Empress Dowager and the Third Prince.
After the eldest lady finished speaking, she winked at the maidservants beside her.
He added, "Today, the child came to our house to play. We, the Bai family, have been very negligent. Please forgive me for any impoliteness. These things are just a small token of my appreciation."
As soon as the eldest lady finished speaking, Old Lady Su, Mrs. Su's eldest sister-in-law, and Mrs. Su's fourth sister-in-law all changed their expressions.
Could it be that the little girl (sister-in-law) was bullied?
This is outrageous!
Old Madam Su said in a slightly cold tone, "I don't know what happened that required Madam Bai to personally deliver such a generous gift?"
After saying that, he glanced at the gifts brought up by the maids.
There are old ginseng with a very high age, translucent jade ruyi, and luxurious Shu brocade...
Madam: “…”
Why does it feel like the atmosphere is off?
She was just being polite.
Shouldn't a normal person just wave their hands and say it's okay?
Isn’t this how wealthy families interact with each other?
What's more, she is the eldest lady of the Bai family!
If it wasn't for the purpose of making friends with the Su family, so that he could buy health pills and anti-aging cream from the Su family in the future, and get some food for his son to eat in the dormitory, why would he condescend to come to such a small Su family?
Now that I can visit them in person, it is already a great honor for the Su family.
Facts have proved that the Su family simply disdains this face!
Mrs. Su said, "My aunt is young and honest. I'm afraid she didn't know how to complain when she was bullied. Please tell her clearly, Madam Bai."
Fourth Sister Su said, "My sister-in-law is timid. She doesn't dare to speak out when she's upset. I guess I can only ask Madam Bai."
Madam: “…”
It seems that the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are looking for an explanation!
The eldest lady is so nauseous!
What does it mean to be young? To be timid?
She has heard this kind of words several times today!
It makes me feel upset every time I hear it!
This little girl is young, but she is braver than anyone else. Who can bully her?
She bullied everyone who had nothing!
The eldest lady felt extremely regretful!
Why does she have to speak such high-sounding official language?
It would be great if you could just state your purpose directly!
"I'm afraid Madam Su has misunderstood." The eldest lady said, "What I said about being indifferent was simply because there were so many guests at home that I didn't greet Miss Su all the time. No one would dare to bully Miss Su. Otherwise, I wouldn't tolerate it!"
After hearing what Mrs. Bai said, Old Lady Su and the two sisters-in-law of the Su family all looked at Tang Bao, seeking confirmation with their eyes.
Tang Bao thought about it and nodded.
Mrs. Bai was heartbroken when she saw this!
So this means you don’t believe what you say!
The eldest lady of the Bai family has never been humiliated like this in her life!
For a moment, his face turned ugly.
However, no matter how ugly your face looks, you have to endure it.
After all, you need help!
The eldest lady of the Bai family closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
He simply stopped beating around the bush and looked at Tang Bao and said directly, "Miss Su came to visit today and gave me a generous gift. I came to visit you to express my gratitude."
Having said this, he paused and continued, "Also, my son is also participating in the Autumn Examination this time. I heard that Miss Su can cook a kind of meal that can be taken to the dormitory to eat to avoid eating cold food. So I want to buy some for Miss Su and take it back. No matter how much money you spend..."
When Mrs. Bai finished her words, she turned her gaze to Old Madam Su.
After all, in her opinion, such matters should be decided by the elders.
She didn't notice that after she finished speaking, the expressions of the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were a little strange.
