Chapter Eighty-Five: The Marriage Contract

Prosperous at night, leaving only a touch of moonlight outside the window. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was still a melting lamp in the Evian attic, Bai Qiyu was leaning on the head of the bed to read a book as usual, Wen Ying sat on the side and played a knot, looking up at Bai Qiyu from time to time - although her own young lady was reading with a book, but her mind had long since lost where it had gone, the book had not been turned for a quarter of an hour, and that posture had not changed, and she frowned from time to time.

"Miss, is there something wrong?" Wen Ying couldn't help but ask.

Bai Qiyu said casually, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the matter of the sixth sister......

"Miss Six?"

Bai Qiyu nodded, "Yes, I'm thinking about the sixth sister...... You say, does she even know about her background?"

Wen Ying was silent, and said after a while, "In the early years, Miss Six used to say casually because of Miss Four, 'Aunt Lan is stained...... It's Aunt Xia's blessing and made a noise, and it went to Mrs. ...... Miss, you probably don't remember......"

In fact, what Bai Shihua said at the time was, "Do you think Aunt Lan is powerful in front of her mother? Aunt Lan is just the blessing of the short-lived Aunt Xia."

Wen Ying didn't say what she said, but Bai Qiyu also guessed that it was not a good thing, and Bai Liuyun was a pungent person, so she naturally wouldn't swallow her anger.

Seeing that Bai Qiyu was speechless, Wen Ying said again, "Actually, what can I do if I don't know it, if I don't say it properly, who is not living the life in front of me among the few young ladies in the Bai Mansion? ”

It's a bit too much, but Bai Qiyu doesn't care about it.

Yes, it's just because it's a concubine.

Bai Qiyu sighed lightly, "It's a pity that the sixth sister's shrewdness is all used in planning and calculation, this time the matter of the prince Song Zhao just happened to appear, even if there is no Song Zhao, there will be people next to him, just let her go, and it can be regarded as her heart, I can't control so many ......"

There are many rights and wrongs in the palace, and Song Zhao's scum, I'm afraid she won't have a good life, not to mention that the replacement of imperial power in the near future will be a bloodless war...... What Bai Qiyu didn't say was that if she was willing, others would be helpless, if she really suffered in the future, for the sake of her sisters, she would not abandon her.

Seeing that she was depressed, Wen Ying said something else, peeled off the stubble, and said in a brisk tone, "Miss, what do you think I heard today?"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

After selling a little and successfully diverting Bai Qiyu's attention, Wen Ying is wife said again, "I picked mint leaves in the garden with Gu's mother this morning, and I heard the maid in the pear blossom courtyard say that Mrs. has the intention to take Miss Eight and Miss Nine over, saying that it will be after this month, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"What about the fifth sister and a few aunts?" Bai Qiyu couldn't help asking.

Wen Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "Maybe it's better to stay in the old mansion in Linfeng City, the fifth lady has a marriage contract, so naturally she can't go out easily, a few aunts...... The fourth lady didn't come over for such a big thing as getting married, so I don't think I will come this time......"

Bai Qiyu listened and said, "I've always heard that the fifth sister has a marriage contract, what is going on?"

Wen Ying was surprised, "Miss doesn't know about this?"

"I, it's not like I can't remember the previous events very clearly!" Bai Qiyu casually said a reason.

"Oh, too...... In fact, the matter of the fifth lady's marriage contract has always been avoided by the lady......" Wen Ying talked about the past, and Bai Qiyu listened with great interest.

"Aunt Wu's maiden family is Tai'an, the Wu family because of the family lineage, and the heirs of the official residence of the six products, is also a famous family in the local area, but Aunt Wu is not a descendant, but a concubine of the side branch, although the brothers and sisters are soft-spoken in the Wu family, but also harmonious......

"When the fifth miss was nine years old, Aunt Wu's mother-in-law passed away suddenly, Aunt Wu was very sad when she got the news, fainted several times, the old man remembered her filial piety, so he sent someone to send her back to her parents' home, but she proposed to the fifth lady to go too, Mrs. was very unhappy, but because the old man spoke, she had to respond......"

This kind of thing is naturally very disliked by the sweet-hearted mother-in-law.

Bai Qiyu said curiously, "The master promised her to take the fifth sister back to the Wu family?"

Wen Ying nodded, "I heard that Aunt Wu went to the study to ask the master for permission, and the slave maid also listened to the old man in the house...... said that it was because the Wu family was busy with funerals, and some children couldn't take care of them carefully, so the old lady of the lineage took them all to the Wu family's ancestral house to take care of, and the fifth lady was also taken over...... The fifth lady lived with her cousins in the ancestral house of the Wu family for more than half a month, during which an incident happened......"

“...... The old lady of the Wu family is old and has asthma, and she has asked the doctor to read it many times, but somehow the medicine is not effective, Miss Wu knew and said that she had read a small home remedy in the medicine book and said that it was very effective in treating asthma with ginkgo seeds, and the old lady Wu actually believed it, so she asked people to do it, but it was also strange, the decoction boiled by ginkgo seeds was taken for five or six days in a row, and the old lady Wu actually began to get better......"

“...... Mrs. Wu's asthma symptoms are gone, and she praises Miss Wu very much...... I don't know how, I think there are still some things that others don't know, in short, later, the old lady Wu waved his hand, and personally set up a family affair for the fifth lady and the third young master of the Wu family's eldest house--As soon as the old lady spoke, no one dared to say anything, and this matter was decided like this, and when the matter of the Wu family was over, after Aunt Wu took the fifth lady back to the house, the old lady specially invited someone to come to the house to propose marriage......

"I see, that's ......" Bai Qiyu understood the reason for the matter, and the rest of the things could be guessed without saying, even if Madam Bai was a hundred unwilling, she couldn't find a reason to oppose it, not to mention that Bai Juntang agreed, so this seemingly impossible thing was just like that.

Bai Qiyu suddenly wondered what kind of person Aunt Wu was, if she was stingy and had no knowledge, but she let this impossible thing happen by birth, and quietly found a reliable family affair for her daughter - at least it was reliable compared to the arrangements that Mrs. Bai might make, but she always looked sneering when she saw her on weekdays, and it was difficult for people to associate her with the description of being smart and shrewd......

"It seems that Aunt Wu is not as simple as she seems," Bai Qiyu said, "I don't believe this without her push." ”

Wen Ying said with a smile, "Miss can see it, in fact, Aunt Wu is just a little silent, and she is tolerant and tolerant, and treats her subordinates very well, and the maid will praise her in private......"

Wen Ying saw Bai Qiyu yawning, so he said, "It's already the end of the day (nearly 9 o'clock), and Miss has also been on a trip today, so she must be tired, so it's better to rest earlier, right?"

It was late at night, and the master and servant chatted for a while, and then they turned off the lights and went to sleep.
