Thank you @ιtwenty-seven @ thirty-seven years of love @ kendo rivers and lakes and other relatives for their support!~ Thank you for killing gods!~~
"Miss Seven....." Gu's mother shook her hands crampedly, and she stopped talking, but she still didn't make a sound. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Bai Qiyu took a copper skewer and dialed the incense, the candle wick flame jumped, and the room was brighter.
"Mother Gu, I asked you this, because you are an old man in the house, even if you don't know, you have heard something......
Gu's mother was still cramped and uneasy, and she didn't speak.
Qiushui on the side said, "Since Miss asked you, Zuo just wants to confirm, and I don't want you to say some major secrets, you can rest assured, you don't know a few of us, we have always treated you as a relative, and you are also clear in your heart about how Miss Seven treats you, but don't forget your identity just because Miss Seven is good to you......"
This is a bit more serious, Gu's mother hurriedly said, "Slave, slave doesn't mean that......"
Bai Qiyu and the others all looked at her quietly, but they didn't urge to say more.
Gu's mother gritted her teeth, cheered up and said intermittently, "Originally, these words were really disrespectful, but that's all the slave maid knows, Miss Seven, you should listen to a drama......
β...... Back then, the slaves and maids were doing chores in the big kitchen, and they didn't know much about the things in the house...... Aunt Lan and Aunt Xia were pregnant at about the same time, the lord and Mrs. took it very seriously, Mrs. only gave birth to two daughters, and there was no young master in the house, so she planned to raise a son in her own name if an aunt gave birth to a son...... These aunts also know about it...... The two of them went smoothly until the birth, who would have thought that Aunt Lan gave birth to a pair of twin daughters, that is, Miss You and Miss Six...... Aunt Xia....... Aunt Xia gave birth to a stillborn baby...... This is unlucky...... The lord and the lady were very angry and asked Aunt Xia to stay in the South Park...... But no one expected that Aunt Xia would ...... one night He committed suicide by jumping into a well...... Later......"
Bai Qiyu suddenly interrupted her, "Who found out that Aunt Xia committed suicide?"
Gu's mother was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's Aunt Lan's mother, who said that she was going to visit Aunt Xia, but she found that there was no Aunt Xia in Nanyuan, and the maids found out that Aunt Xia was gone...... After looking around, I finally found one of Aunt Xia's shoes by the well in the South Park......"
Xu thought of the events of the past, Gu's mother was teary-eyed......
Bai Qiyu frowned slightly, something flashed in his mind, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't grasp it......
"Have you found a body?"
The wick of the candle crackled and the room was eerily quiet.
Gu's mother refreshed her mind and said, "I heard that there is no ...... But South Park has been haunted ever since...... Mrs. believed in Buddhism, and after asking someone to recite the scriptures, she was still not at ease, so she asked people to fill in the well and seal the South Garden...... More than ten years have passed, and no one has ever set foot in Nanyuan, completely isolated from everything in the house......"
Bai Qiyu looked at her and looked at her, "Is there anything else Mother Gu hasn't said?"
Gu's mother was about to kneel down in fear when she heard this, and Qiushui on the side saw Bai Qiyu's face, so she helped her and said, "Gu's mother still has something to say, Miss won't blame you......"
"Hey, hey. Gu's mother nodded curtly, and stammered in a mosquito voice, "Slave maid...... The slave maid hadn't seen Aunt Xia a few times...... I listened to the people in the house, saying that Miss You and Miss Six are both ...... It's all ...... It was Aunt Xia's ......"
"Bang Dang"
The copper skewer in Bai Qiyu's hand fell on the table of pineapple wood.......
Qiushui's face changed, and he immediately grabbed Gu's mother's arm and said, "How can you talk nonsense about this?
Gu's mother reacted and suddenly her knees softened, and she knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowing like pounding garlic and said urgently, "It's the old slave who is confused, it's all nonsense, miss, don't take it seriously...... These are the ....... people chew on their tongues."
Bai Qiyu pressed his eyebrows irritably, and then said, "Get up, I don't blame you......"
"Tell me, how did these come about?"
Gu's mother got up according to her words, but it was Ai Ai's desire to stop talking, Qiu Ling was also anxious, and shouted in a slightly higher voice, "Mother Gu!"
"Yes, yes, slave think...... It is said that the two young ladies didn't think it when they were young, but the longer it gets, the more ...... it will become. When I'm older, I look more like Aunt Xia, especially the eyes and face shape...... It's exactly the same ......."
Qiushui and Qiuling looked at each other, Bai Qiyu remembered what he thought when he saw Aunt Lan and his cheap father before, and he thought at that time that he didn't have much resemblance to the two of them, and there was a little resemblance to his father, but he didn't resemble his biological mother in the slightest, which couldn't be said......
But it turned out that there was really something strange......
Bai Qiyu pondered for a long time, "...... I think my mother knows......"
What do you know, of course, that she and Bai Liuyun are Aunt Xia's daughters......
In other words, the things behind these are allowed, or conspired...... No wonder Aunt Lan doesn't care about the two of them...... No wonder my mother has always treated her with a warm heart and a cold heart, and even there is always bitter hatred in the depths of her eyes...... No wonder Moonyoung always looks at herself with pity......
It's really pitiful to be born in this big family.
Bai Qiyu couldn't help laughing, fortunately he was not the real Bai Qiyu, otherwise, I was afraid that he would collapse at this time...... It's just that the truth behind this, now that you know, it's better to check it, and you should return the favor that occupies your body......
When Qiushui and the others saw where Bai Qiyu Wu was, they suddenly smiled, frowned, and nodded thoughtfully, thinking that she couldn't think that something was wrong with her spirit for a while, so they all hurriedly stepped forward to call her......
"Miss, you ...... Are you alright?"
Bai Qiyu glanced at Qiushui and a few people with a smile, "Your young lady and I are not so fragile, what should I do, I still have to live a good life!"
Qiushui and the others suddenly let out a long breath, and the young lady can still laugh as usual, it seems that there will be no big problems......
Gu's mother looked self-reproachful, "...... Miss, the slave maid just listens to what people say, don't take it seriously, don't take it to heart......"
"What to think about it is my business, don't blame yourself, even if you don't say these words, sooner or later they will reach my ears...... But that's just for me......"
Gu's mother hurriedly nodded in response, "Miss, don't worry, the slave and maid are so important that they will not talk about it again." β
This kind of thing is not visible, and if the lady knows about it, it is not dead. I think that at the beginning, there was a maid who knew about it because she chewed her tongue, and she found a reason to kill her directly with a cane within two days, and since then the house has been silent about this matter for fear of avoiding it.
Although there are prohibitions, they are all hidden, especially between old servants, so Gu's mother also knows about this, so she naturally keeps it secret.
"Okay," Bai Qiyu waved his hand, "You go back and rest." β
After Gu's mother left, Bai Qiyu instructed Qiushui and Qiuling again, "This matter will be stopped for the time being, and there is not so much to manage now...... After these few days, it will be time for Zhang Luo to enter Beijing, and when the time comes, you will have to run more in the shop......"
Qiu Ling nodded and said, "I went to ask Xu Zhixing a few days ago, and the business has gradually flourished after the off-season of two months earlier. β
A few days ago, Bai Qiyu asked Qiu Ling to go out of the house, and gave Xu Zhixing's mother and son some goods for the New Year and some silver taels, and went to see the shop by the way......
"I'm relieved that they're in the care. Bai Qiyu smiled, "This age is also guarded, and the heart is also talked, so it's time to rest." β
******
Changmingxiang lingered in the night, and when it had passed, the people dispersed, and the Baifu at this time seemed to be a little lit in the silent night.
Lanjing Garden, Bai Yuntang glanced at Mrs. Bai who was putting on makeup and said, "Have you read the letter sent by Shuang'er the day before yesterday?"
Madame Bai said lightly, "I see." β
"What do you see?"
Madame Bai's hand paused and hesitated, "What does the Ding family think about this? What is there to do with the Shunping Palace?"
Bai Yuntang hesitated, "Do you really want to marry with the Shunping Palace?"
"Marriage? That's nice...... "It's just a concubine, thinking of the prince of Shunping, the face in the mirror and the corners of his eyebrows are slightly raised with a hint of disdain.
"After all, he is also the son of the royal family, and he is blessed to be able to marry in. β
Bai Yuntang sighed, "Zuo is just a married daughter, you are a mother, you can watch these things, I have to leave for Tongzhou in a few days, and the business over there is also in trouble......"
"Originally, I also said that I would let you go to the capital together, if you can improve the business in the capital a little more, you don't want to be in Tongzhou. β
Bai Yuntang said helplessly, "What you said is light, these are all things that I have worked hard for, hasn't the business in the capital been developing slowly...... It's a pity...... If not...... It's also good to have a daughter at home......"
This statement was brought to the heir again, and Mrs. Bai was suddenly depressed and couldn't speak for a long time.
Bai Yuntang sighed for a while and saw that she was unhappy, so he didn't say more, in the end, everyone cares about such a thing very much, and if he talks too much, it hurts the peace......
"At the beginning, I said that you should leave Shuang'er at home, you are fine, what do you say that you are not in a hurry......" Madame Bai complained.
"What are you doing with these, there are nine daughters in the family, who is not left behind...... Besides, it's not very good for Shuang'er to marry into Shangshufu, if it weren't for my father's relationship, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to climb high. β
Mrs. Bai said again, "Okay, I'm going to take the four and six and seven with me...... But in the end, it hasn't been decided yet...... There is also a Wei family...... How are you going?"
Hearing this, Bai Yuntang became serious, pondered for a while, and said, "Since I am here to talk to the palace, judging from age, I am naturally the most suitable junior ......."
Madame Bai sneered, "Isn't it that the master has other plans?"
Bai Yuntang was slightly annoyed, "What do I plan to do with these women's families...... The Wei family is also good. β
"What's the matter?
Bai Yuntang nodded, "I said it a few days ago, but I said that I am not in a hurry to get married, it is best to be twelve or thirteen years old, first make a marriage, and then ...... in two or three years."
Madame Bai was surprised to hear this, and interrupted him in surprise, "That's what you said? Could it be that the Wei Mansion knows about our daughters?"
That's not what I mean...... I look at the second child of the Wei family very well, so since then, Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi are of the right age......" said with a happy look.
Madame Bai suddenly became angry, and said angrily, "You only think about your little six and seven, after all, it's not that you can't forget that person! Don't forget, it was ...... at the beginning."
"But what?" Bai Yuntang interrupted her impatiently, "It's you who are thinking about it there and don't want to forget, what kind of vinegar are you eating? She has been gone for more than ten years, what do you want? No matter what...... I have to think about my daughter......"
Speaking of the back, it looks weak in the end.
Madam Bai sneered, "Don't forget, what you said at the beginning, this should be put aside, don't blame me for not reminding you, Aunt Lan is still waiting for you......"
