The little servant was amused by his question: “Our Dongfang family is different from other people’s families. Our lady and the young lady are the best people. They never bully the weak.”
As the saying goes, if the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked.
If the master was straight, how can the servants and maidservants be crooked?
The character of the master can be seen with the character of the slaves.
Seeing that her son was talking to the servant, Mrs. Zhang also leaned forward and asked with a smile: “Your young lady is Bai Zhi, right?”
The little guard nodded his head immediately. And when his young lady was mentioned, his eyes glowed with admiration. Even their master, he had never looked at him with such admiration.
“That’s right, our young lady is Miss Bai Zhi. She is amazing. She has excellent medical skills. She has cured the empress dowager before and cured the emperor. Now, she is treating the lives of thousands of people in the capital. Without our young lady, those people are long gone.”
Mrs. Zhang’s heart slightly shook. She didn’t expect Bai Zhi to do so many great things. However, her daughter said that she was simply enjoying the glory and wealth here.
Looking at other people’s daughters, and thinking about her own daughter, she sighed in her heart. Who can she blame?
If the child didn’t learn, it was the fault of the parents.
She was also responsible for this.
When they first arrived, the sky was still bright. But now it was a little late when Bai Zhi’s carriage drove to the gate of Dongfang Mansion.
As soon as Bai Zhi got off the carriage, she saw Mrs. Zhang, Bai Erzhu, and Bai Fugui waiting outside the gate.
The little guard opened the gate and greeted her: “Miss, these three people said that they are your old friends. You haven’t come back, and it’s not good to just let them in, so I let them wait here. Do you know them?”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “I know them. Take them to the side hall.” Bai Zhi stepped forward and said to Mrs. Zhang: “I’ll go back to my courtyard first to change clothes. You will wait for me in the side hall.”
After saying those words, Bai Zhi led the maid who was carrying her medicine box, inside.
Mr. Zhang let out a hum and followed into the mansion.
Although the Dongfang Family Mansion was not as grand as Changyuan Houfu. It has unique and peaceful surroundings. Every plant and tree has been carefully cultivated. Every carved stone was carefully carved and polished.
Although the family of three didn’t understand anything, when they saw such scenery, they knew that the background of this Dongfang family was no trivial matter.
The side hall was very large. This hall alone was several times larger than the house they used to live in.
The tables and chairs were neatly arranged in rows. The floor was covered with a thick and soft blanket. The living room, where the burner was burning, was as warm as spring.
While the three were dazzled, the little servant who led the way said: “You all sit first.”
The three of them were dirty, so how could they dare to sit on such a clean and elegant chair? They were afraid that the chair will be stained.
“No need, no need, we are dirty, it will get dirty.”
The little servant smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. The cushions in the chair can be removed and washed. If it gets dirty, we’ll just need to wash it.”
At this time, another beautiful girl came to serve tea. She was wearing an embroidered silk skirt, a delicate bun, and some beautiful accessories on her head. She was dressed and acted more like a wealthy daughter in their Qingyuan Town.
The capital was truly extraordinary. Even a little maidservant who brings tea and water can live such a good life.
Although the servant asked them to sit down enthusiastically, they still refused to sit. They just stood in the hall while drinking tea.
They were cold and thirsty, so they couldn’t refuse the steaming tea.
When Bai Zhi came, she saw them standing while drinking tea, she quickly said: “Sit down, why are you all standing?”
