Jiangnan has been known as the land of plenty and plenty of beauties since ancient times.
Today is a happy day for the Bai family, a large family in Jiangnanxi. The young master of the Bai family is going to marry one of the top ten beauties in Jiangnan. The two have been engaged since childhood. After some misunderstandings, they realized that they are in love.
The woman was once a great lady in Jiangnan and was rated as one of the top ten beauties.
The young master of the Bai family is not bad either. It is said that he is a talented man who is full of poetry and martial arts.
This symmetry is a match made in heaven between a talented man and a beautiful woman.
The hall was full today, and everyone coming and going was wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials from Jiangnan.
The head of the Bai family made three rounds after drinking, and shouted loudly: "Today is my son Bai Zhixue's happy day. It is really a great blessing. I decided to use one hundred thousand taels of silver for disaster relief! I also took out an additional five hundred taels. Reward the servants with silver!"
As soon as these words came out, not only hundreds of people from the Bai family burst into tears of gratitude, but even the prefect of Jiangnan praised the Bai family's righteousness! And exempted the Bai family from taxes for half a year!
"In addition, my Bai family will spend another five hundred shi of grain to provide porridge in the south of the Yangtze River to share the suffering of the people's displacement for the imperial court!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
……
Winter is gone and spring is coming, and the spring breeze is greening the south bank of the river again.
There was a lot of snow this year, and it was only when spring arrived that the snow melted a little.
In the woodshed in the backyard of the Bai family, a young-looking man was sweeping away the snow. He was wearing gray and black clothes and looked a little older.
This is the last snow of the year.
The maid from the Bai family came in with a bowl of delicious food, "Mute! Today my lady is getting married. This is the meal that the lady ordered me to bring you. Eat it while it's hot!"
The young man put down the broom in his hand and stepped forward to take it.
Then he swallowed it in large chunks and it was extremely delicious.
The maid of the Bai family took out another broken piece of silver and said, "The master is in a good mood today. He specially rewarded each of us with one tael of silver. Please take it!"
Seeing that the young man remained unmoved, the maid of the Bai family added, "It would be great if you have one. Do you really expect to get a tael of silver?"
The young man then took the broken silver from the maid's hand, which could be used for a while.
"The young lady will be back in a while! The master and the young master must be in a good mood these days. You can apply to them to go out for a walk. You are almost exhausted after being here all day!" The maid of the Bai family said again .
The young man nodded dully.
The maid chatted a little more and talked about trivial things in life, big and small.
Anyway, this is a mute, so you don’t have to worry about him spreading the word if you say anything to him. The main reason is that this mute has some good looks, which makes him very lovable.
The mute was picked up last year. Last year, the lady was kidnapped by robbers on her way to Jiangnan. The passing mute used the skills of a three-legged cat to rescue the lady and her child.
When the young master of the Bai family arrived and heard the whole story, he saw that he was lonely and unable to speak, so he took the mute back to the Bai family, arranged a job of cleaning the yard, and left him there.
"It's a pity that Bai Xiang has such an appearance, so delicate." The maid murmured to herself.
Then she got up and left. She couldn't stay here for too long, otherwise the lady would be anxious.
The young man stood up again and started sweeping with a broom, sweeping from the backyard woodshed to the front yard gate.
A song swept the snowdrift silently.
When the other servants saw the young man, their faces were full of displeasure.
Which one of them has not gone through a lot of hardships and passed the assessment to become a servant of the Bai family.
This dumb mute, who was lucky enough to save the young lady and the young lady, rose to the top and became a servant of the Bai family.
This is the Bai family!
One of the big families in Jiangnanxi, it can’t be compared to any family of cats and dogs!
If ordinary people like them had the opportunity to become servants of the Bai family, it would be equivalent to a scholar becoming the top scholar!
To have an identity in Jiangnan is as difficult as reaching heaven.
"It's up to you to sweep the mute area! If you can't finish the sweep, don't eat tonight!" Several servants were extremely repulsive to the young man.
"let's go!"
In such a large area, only the young man was left alone.
The young man was not angry, and just swept the snow silently.
If the young man had not saved the life of the young lady of the Bai family and had a good relationship with the maid of the young lady of the Bai family, they would have found a way to expel him instead of making things difficult like this.
The young man is more like a weirdo among the servants. He just can't speak. He won't resist even when others bully him.
All I know is blind obedience and blind obedience.
In fact, most of the servants do not reject the young man, but they just don't like his weird temper and never talk to others.
After all, if you can become a servant of the Bai family, who among those selected after many tests will be a scum with unsatisfactory conduct?
The young man did not clear up his misunderstanding. As time went by, few servants were willing to stay with him, so that he was eventually regarded as an alien.
……
After the wedding day, the Bai family started to get busy again. On that day, the master made a promise at the wedding that he would give porridge to the people and relieve the pressure on the court.
Many servants have been sent out, and there are few people in the Bai family mansion.
The young man is one of them.
"Miss, are you awake?"
"Wake up! Come in." After the maid washed him, the young lady of the Bai family walked out in a rich dress. Early in the morning, she saw a young man cleaning the water in the courtyard.
A few days ago, the snow on the roof melted, and a puddle of water fell.
"Brother Ye, you got up very early!" the young lady greeted.
It can be seen that he is quite happy to marry the one he loves.
Ye Baiyi looked up, nodded dully, and continued to clean up the water.
The maid muttered at the side: "Mute, what is my lady asking you? Can you please stop showing off?"
The young lady of the Bai family asked from the side: "How can Hongye speak?"
The maid said: "It's not because he has a bad attitude. I want to remind him."
The young lady of the Bai family joked: "I think you don't want to remind him, but you want to talk to him, right?"
"Miss, what are you talking about?" Hongye said unhappily.
"Oh? I remember someone running to the woodshed in the backyard every two days!" The young lady pointed out and smiled softly.
Hongye said: "Miss, what are you talking about? Didn't you ask me to take care of Yi Er?"
Seeing Hongye blushing, the young lady of the Bai family did not continue to joke.
Ever since she got engaged to the Bai family master, this little girl has always been worried about gains and losses, but now she is happy to see something interesting.
It's just a pity that the man is mute. There are rumors in the house, but she has never admitted it.
Thinking about how she ran away with Mr. Bai at all costs, gave birth to a son, and even got married today, everything seemed like a dream.
After all, who would have thought that the person who eloped with him would be his fiancé whom he had never met.
The dignified young master of the Bai family will fall in love with a down-and-out daughter.
