Chapter 48: Above the Family Banquet
Night is approaching, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is lively today, not only because this day is a monthly family banquet, but also because the eldest young master and the second young master are back home today. When it was time to eat, everyone sat down in their respective places.
Sitting in the right position is the old lady, a table for the family is obviously not enough, if the second master is still living in this prime minister's mansion, this person doesn't know how much, the second master of Baifu is Bai Yi's younger brother Bai Yu, who has always liked to walk in the rivers and lakes, so he went out very early, and now only Nianguan and the old lady's birthday will come back.
Because it was a family banquet, it was not as casual as eating in the small courtyard, so everyone was somewhat restrained, and only Bai Yuhan was the happiest to eat, Bai Yuxi only saw him eating non-stop, although his movements were elegant, but it also made people feel like he had been hungry for a long time.
"Third sister, why don't you eat it?" Bai Yuhan said when he saw Bai Yuxi who was looking at him.
Hearing Bai Yuhan ask like this, Bai Yuxi didn't know how to answer, so she had to blink and smile at him.
"The family banquet is meant to let the family sit together reunited, and it should be lively when Yuhan and the two come back today, you don't have to be so restrained, they are all a family. Li said generously beside Bai Yi.
showed the demeanor of the prime minister's housewife, but when she said this, she didn't notice that the old lady's face was a little ugly, and it was not wrong for her to say this, but today Li forgot that the old lady was present and crossed the old lady and spoke directly, which made the old lady, who had always been strong, quite mind.
"That's what Mother said. Bai Yuxian should be harmonious.
After a pause, Bai Yuxian continued: "If the second sister is still here, I will be very happy to see the two brothers return home, the second sister's temperament has always been lively, if the second sister is here, this banquet will definitely be more fun, third sister, don't you say?"
I don't know if Bai Yuxian unintentionally or intentionally mentioned Bai Yurong at the family banquet, and also introduced the topic to Bai Yuxi's body.
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Gao's face suddenly became ugly, and even the old lady and Bai Yi frowned.
After waiting for a while, Bai Yuxi asked as if she had suddenly woken up, "What is the big sister looking at me?" Could it be that the big sister was talking to Yuxi just now?"
Then Bai Yuxi looked at Bai Yuxian with innocent eyes and said: "I'm really sorry, big sister, Yuxi was thinking about something else just now, I really didn't hear what the big sister said just now, or the big sister will say it again, this time Yuxi will definitely listen to it well." ”
Bai Yuxian was choked by Bai Yuxi's words, and he didn't say it, he didn't say it, so he had to turn his gaze to the Li family for help.
"Yu'an, tell me what you have gained from traveling with Yuhan over the years?" Bai Yi, the head of the family, who spoke, didn't want to talk about Bai Yurong, although Bai Yurong had woken up, he still didn't want to say who the person behind him was, and Bai Yi was very annoyed about this.
"My son and Yuhan have indeed gained a lot outside. Bai Yu'an said, "But the interesting story in this is more vivid for Yu Han." Bai Yu'an unceremoniously threw this errand to Bai Yuhan, but what he said was also the truth, he was originally a person who didn't talk much, and if he wanted him to tell the story, he might not be the one who was tired, so forget it.
"I don't know if my grandmother likes to hear it, why don't my grandson pick up some strange things and tell me?" Bai Yuhan was not bored with this, but was very interested, stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said.
The old lady said cohesively: "You, you know that your grandmother likes to listen to these strange things, and you deliberately ask like this. ”
Even the old lady said this, of course the others have no opinion, but some people are a little absent-minded, and the Li family is concerned about when Bai Yuxi will die, originally just wanted her to go crazy, but recently her heart has become more and more uneasy, so she changed her mind;
"In this way, when my eldest brother and I passed through Qinzhou, I saw an interesting thing?" Bai Yuhan said after a little thought.
"There is a greedy county official in Shaxian County, Qinzhou, who is bent on pleasing a satisfactory little wife, and sends people to choose from east to west, which makes the people uneasy. One day, Pang Zhenkun recommended himself as a county official and asked him what kind of marriage he wanted. The county magistrate said: 'What I want is: cherry small mouth apricot kernel eyes, crescent moon eyebrows and fairy face, no food, drink or wear, and no gossip in the four doors. ’”
Bai Yuxian asked, "What did that person say?"
Pang Zhenkun replied like this: 'Coincidentally, there is such a woman in my village. Bai Yuhan smiled, not displeased by Bai Yuxian's interruption.
"If there really is such a woman, wouldn't it be a waste to marry that county official. Li said.
"Mother, don't worry, after listening to me, the date of marriage is discussed. On the day of the wedding, firecrackers, gongs and drums, and trumpets were not lively. As soon as the sedan chair arrived, the county magistrate stepped forward to uncover the bride's flower cover and was furious: "It turned out to be a mud-fetal female bodhisattva wearing flower clothes." ’
Pang Zhenkun smiled and said: "Look, isn't she 'cherry with small apricot eyes, crescent moon eyebrows, fairy face, no food, drink, no wear, no gossip'?"
What does grandmother think of the story her grandson told?" Bai Yuhan asked as soon as he finished speaking.
Originally, there was nothing unusual about this matter, but I have to say that Bai Yuhan was able to say it so vividly, it really made people feel like they wanted to applaud, and the people present also listened to it with relish.
Before the old lady could answer, she heard Huan'er beside Aunt Liu shouting, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
When everyone heard the sound, they looked over, and saw that Aunt Liu had fainted for some reason, and Huan'er was helping her to shout non-stop.
"What's wrong?" Li said, this Liu's body has always been very good, what's wrong.
"Big lady, auntie, she fainted. Huan'er said anxiously.
"Somebody is here, and the doctor is called. Bai Yi walked up to Aunt Liu's side and said, "Help your aunt to the room." ”
Bai Yuxi took a sip of a cup of tea, thinking to herself, this Liu Shi still did what she said, wait a minute, Li's expression will be very exciting, this is not to be missed, but should she also pretend to be unconscious, tonight Li Shi has put 'very good poison' in her cup, let's take a look first.
Because Aunt Liu suddenly fainted, this banquet could no longer be held, and everyone waited in the room for the doctor's diagnosis and reply.
"He Xi Xiangye, my aunt is pregnant, and it has been more than a month. The doctor said with a smile on his face.
"Really?" Bai Yi said with some excitement.
When Li heard this answer, he really couldn't believe it, and looked straight at the doctor and hoped that he would say, 'It's a diagnostic error.' ’
"How dare you deceive Xiangye. ”
"Good, rewarded. Bai Yi smiled, "It's just that why did Yuxin faint?" This made Bai Yi call Aunt Liu's name.
Li Shi was like being struck by lightning, her feet seemed to be fixed there motionless, how could she be pregnant, for so many years, Liu Yuxin was not pregnant, how could she really find a good way to get pregnant, she herself has been looking for a way to conceive a boy, but it has been fruitless, thinking of this, Li's hands are clenched, and even her nails are about to be inserted into the flesh.
The changes in the Li family were all seen by Bai Yuxi, and the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, but he didn't expect his movements to be seen by Bai Yu'an behind him.
"Since Yuxin is pregnant, she must take good care of her, and I will pick a few clever girls from my yard to go to Yuxin's yard later. The old lady said with concern that what she had been looking forward to was a full house of children and grandchildren, and there had been no such big happy event in the prime minister's house for a long time.
"Mother, it's good to wait for the daughter-in-law to pick some good girls from the courtyard and give them to Sister Liu, why do you still pick maids from your mother's courtyard. Li said unwillingly, why should a few people be inserted.
"No need, no matter how careful the maid in the courtyard is, is it better than that of my old woman. The old lady said that she still had some nostalgia for what Li said during the meal.
"That's not what the daughter-in-law meant. Li said weakly, but he hated Liu in his heart.
Now in this scene, Bai Yi naturally wants to accompany Aunt Liu here, of course, they are going back to their respective hospitals, but just when everyone was about to go back, Bai Yuxi spit out blood, covered his chest and fell into his shallow arms.
"Miss, miss, what's wrong with you, don't scare the slave. Seeing Bai Yuxi vomiting blood, she panicked.
