After a short nap at noon, Mrs. Bai was served by the maid to apply her face, bathe, comb her hair and change her clothes, and she was very busy, and then instructed Mother Wang to prepare some various human things brought from Linfeng City, and then got into the carriage and slowly drove out of Sixian Hutong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The carriage traveled for about half an hour, and when it arrived at the Ding Mansion located in the alley of Tofukuji Temple, it did not stop, and drove directly through the side door.

Get off the car at the Hanging Flower Gate and change to the inner courtyard to continue walking.

When she stopped again, Mrs. Bai got out of the car and saw Bai Shuangyu holding Sister Yun to greet her.

"Mother", Bai Shuangyu took Sister Yun'er's hand three steps and took two steps forward to help Mrs. Bai's arm, her face was very excited.

Mrs. Bai couldn't hide her emotions and cried with joy, and clenched her daughter's hand and said, "You child, you are all mothers, and you are still so frizzy......"

Sister Yun on the side was curious, "Are you my grandmother?"

Only then did Bai Shuangyu remember Sister Yun, and hurriedly wiped her tears and waved with a smile, "Come and meet your grandmother." ”

Sister Yun approached and made a blessing in a dignified manner, and said crisply, "Grandmother." ”

Mrs. Bai didn't wait for her to finish her salute and hugged her in her arms, "Sister Yun, I miss my grandmother!

Sister Yun covered her mouth with her little hands and grinned, "I thought about it." ”

A group of maids and maids had to step forward and salute, Bai Shuangyu reached out to pick up Sister Yun'er, "Don't look young, but sink your hands." ”

Mrs. Bai hugged Sister Yun and was reluctant to let go, "I can't hold it yet!" stroked Sister Yun'er's back and tightened her arms.

Bai Shuangyu had no choice but to take her arm and enter the main courtyard with her.

The maid retreated after serving the refreshments, and Bai Shuangyu also instructed the nurse to take Sister Yun down to play.

There were only two people left in the house, and Bai Shuangyu said a little impatiently, "Mother, why didn't Dad come to Beijing together?"

"There is a problem with Tongzhou's business, and your father has to deal with it personally...... It's better to move to Beijing when the business is settled......"

In the early years, after Bai Yuanchun's marriage, Mrs. Bai proposed to move to Beijing, and Bai Yuntang did not object, but not long after, Mrs. Bai's mother's old mother died, and the matter has been put on hold. Although it was mentioned in the middle, it was not possible to move it for one reason or another.

Bai Shuangyu said, "The house here is also ready-made, and it is not far away, so it is not difficult to move here." ”

As he spoke, he looked absent-minded, and his expression was slightly weird.

Madame Bai didn't ask, just gossiped about some homely things.

After chatting about the kung fu of half a pillar of incense, Bai Shuangyu asked lately, "Mother, what I said in the letter ......"

"I'm here this time, I brought Xiaosi, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi is unfortunately sick, and when she is better, I will bring them to show you. ”

Bai Shuangyu nodded absentmindedly, and said, "I mean the matter of silver, and I won't hide it from you, this money is in a hurry to invest in a big business......"

Madame Bai was stunned, "Business—what kind of business needs to be invested so much money at once? Is that what do you mean or do they mean?"

Bai Shuangyu waved his hand, "Don't ask these mothers, this business is very safe, but you can't let too many people know before it is completed...... You can rest assured, the prime minister has discussed it with them, and it is not for us to invest ......."

"Since you've all agreed, I won't ask any more, and I've brought the silver ticket with me," he said, taking out the box containing the silver ticket and handing it to her.

"A full 200,000, look at it...... Your father is also very hard to do business outside every day, although the family business is big, but this silver does not fall from the sky and wants to use it...... Besides, there were some problems in the business in Tongzhou and Wuzhou last year, and they lost a lot of money, plus they sent you 100,000 yuan a few months ago, which is ...... Forget it, it's just a little bit, you don't have to be stupid and stupid to be sent around!"

"Oh, mother, don't worry about it!"

Bai Shuangyu counted the silver tickets, interrupted Mrs. Bai's nagging with a smile and a coquettish tone, and said, "Count it up, the fourth sister is also sixteen or seventeen years old, and the sixth sister and the seventh sister are still young." ”

Madame Bai reminded her to put away the silver ticket and said, "All of them are not worrying...... By the way, what did the Shunping Mansion say?"

Bai Shuangyu locked the box into a drawer in front of His Excellency Duobao, and said with a smile, "It's still early, wait for the birthday banquet of the old lady of the General's Mansion in a few days, I'm afraid it will be lively, and when the time comes, I have to dress up a few younger sisters and bring them over to open their eyes." ”

Even so, there is a sense of confidence in the words.

Mrs. Bai wanted to ask again, but it can be seen that her daughter didn't want to talk more about this, so she changed the topic.

"This morning, your eldest sister sent her close mother over, saying that she was happy, do you know about this?"

"Of course I know, I sent someone to report the news when I was diagnosed yesterday. Saying that, he sighed again, "The eldest sister can be regarded as having survived." ”

Bai Yuanchun married into the General's Mansion at the age of eighteen to do a continuation, the general Wu Yong was thirty-three years old, the former wife died of illness, leaving a son seven years old, who was the eldest son of the General's Mansion, and therefore, when Bai Yuanchun got married, Mrs. Tai did not want her to give birth to a son-in-law too early, and the border pass was more unstable, and General Wu was difficult to return home once in a few years, and the good news came out after more than five years of marriage, and it was really difficult for her......

But if you want to get out, I'm afraid it's not so easy, after all, there is a well-valued eldest son on the top! What's more, that sister-in-law is already in the year of dancing spoons......

Madame Bai thought about it, and secretly had an idea in her heart.

asked Bai Shuangyu again, "What about you, Sister Yun is also more than four years old, you have to plan early, don't you?"

Bai Shuangyu's face flashed a hint of gloom, "My mother also knows that I injured my body when I gave birth to Sister Yun, and I have been carefully recuperating my ...... in the past few years."

Then he smiled again, "Fortunately, Xianggong is a caring person, and he is also very good to me, and his body has gradually improved in the past two years, and the child will have it." ”

"Alas...... It's good that you know it yourself, but this man has a lot of thoughts, you can't believe what he says, what is good to you now may not necessarily be good to you in the future, giving birth to a son early is the key, don't wait until which ......"

As he was talking, Qiu's mother's voice came from outside, "Young grandma, the eldest lady has just come out of Mrs. Tai's house......"

Madame Bai was surprised, "What's wrong with Madame Tai?"

"I'm old, there are always some such and such problems, the day before yesterday I went to Xu's house for a banquet, drank some Zhenguo wine, and came back and blew the wind in the garden, and this time I fell ill with a cold......

"The Xu family, is it the Xu family who worships the cabinet?"

"Exactly, it is the in-laws of the Li family, that Xu Suxin's eldest brother and her husband were promoted together, one was promoted to the commander of Dongcheng who was fifty percent of the soldiers and horses, and the other was promoted to the middle of the military department, but they were all really bad for people's eyes. ”

Mrs. Bai remembered that Xu Suxin, the grandmother of the Li family, had a good relationship with Bai Qiyu, and Li Xin'er was also good friends with Bai Jiuxiang, and just after the Lantern Festival, the Li family moved to Beijing......

The more I thought about it, the more I felt uncomfortable, and smiled reluctantly, "Even if this is the case, I should also go and see Mrs. Tai and Mrs. In-laws......"

As they spoke, the two took Sister Yun to Mrs. Ding's place surrounded by the maid and mother-in-law.

The eldest lady is from the Ding family's big house, a dignified woman in her forties, wearing a purple silk silk gourd pattern gown, and a medium yellow skirt. His jet-black hair was combed into a bun, and his sideburns were only covered with coral-encrusted sapphire beads. The skin is fair, the eyebrows are kind, and there is a warm and demure temperament like pearl.

As soon as Sister Yun saw her, she shouted crisply, "Grandmother!"

The eldest lady smiled at her in response, and saluted Mrs. Bai, "I'm really embarrassed to let my sister move!"

Mrs. Bai also said politely, "My sister has to take care of the family, and she is busy all day long, so she is an idler like me." ”

took her hand again, "My sister is getting younger and younger!"

Everyone greeted each other and sat down politely, and the eldest lady hugged Sister Yun and put it on the kang to eat pastries.

Madame Bai asked, "You just came from Madame Tai, right?"

The eldest lady sighed lightly, "I suffered from the wind and cold, and the imperial doctor prescribed medicine and was taking it, but it got better." ”

smiled again, "Don't talk about this, my in-laws' wife came to Beijing this time, didn't she bring her three younger sisters with her sons, why didn't she come over to play?"

"It's hard for you to remember, my daughters are all unsuccessful, and they haven't been far away, and they fell ill after only a few days in the carriage. ”

"They are all delicate little girls in the boudoir, where can they withstand the fatigue of the carriage and horses!" and glanced at Shuangyu again, "Mingzhi has been in Lingshan Academy for the past few days, and he hasn't come back for a few days, and when he comes back, I will let him personally go to the door to compensate his in-laws!"

Mingzhi is Ding Lanqi's word.

Mrs. Bai smiled, "Where is it so polite, Mingzhi, this kid is a hard-working person, and he will definitely be able to go to high school this autumn!"

"You are all boasting like this, if he hears it, he will not get carried away!" The eldest lady laughed, and she was obviously very happy when she talked about her second son, Ding Lanqilai.

It's just that it seems that the daughter-in-law is here, so I didn't say much.

As he was talking, he heard a maid outside claiming "big grandma", and the big lady smiled and said, "It must be that monkey from our family is back!"

Before the words fell, I heard a crisp voice like a silver bell and laughed, "Oh, I haven't even entered the house yet, I heard my mother burying me, and it was funny for my in-laws!"

Mrs. Bai understood that it was the eldest grandmother of the Ding family, Bai Shuangyu's sister-in-law Liu.

Turning his head to look, he saw Liu's cool and generous walk-in, wearing a vertical collar jacket embroidered with rose red and silver silk embroidered willow leaf patterns, a skirt embroidered with colorful plum blossoms on the moon white Yanbianer, and the black pressed hair was combed into a dignified and unruly ingot, the hair bun was decorated with a chain of gold inlaid with southern pearls, and a golden hairpin with gold threads and rubies in the middle, and the red jade drop pendant on the ears shook briskly, making the face of the clotted jade bright and moving.

As soon as Liu came in, he gave Mrs. Bai a blessing and said with a smile, "I heard from my second brother and sister a few days ago that you were coming to Beijing, and I should have gone to meet you today, but my cousin also came to Beijing today......"
