Although Xu Chenghuan doesn't know what happened in the past, he can also see the old lady Bai's unkindness from the daily life of these days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The original Bai Huanniang's madness has been cured, everyone in Hongnong County has long known, the Bai family is such a family called a big family by He Qi, but among Bai Huanniang's closest relatives, only Mrs. Bai came to inquire with ill intentions, in addition, only those people from the family who had branched off from the side came to visit and inquire, and Mrs. Bai did not ask word by word.
Even if the identity of the elder is placed there, it can't help but make people feel cold.
A few days ago, Song Wende came to the door, and no one came to help, what is the point of going back to such a Bai family?
As for the family tree, it is difficult to talk about marriage after the family tree...... Marrying someone is enough to kill her once, and there is no need for a second time.
Xu Chenghuan followed the restless Mrs. Bai to the main courtyard, and the three maids were cautious and did not dare to come out.
After entering the house, Xu Chenghuan poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Bai: "Mother, take a sip of tea." ”
Mrs. Bai took the tea, drank it all in one go, slowed down, raised her eyes and glanced at her beautiful daughter, her mood was better, but she couldn't help but blame herself: "Huanniang, it was because my mother didn't think about it back then, so I have the trouble now." ”
Xu Chenghuan sat down to comfort Mrs. Bai.
"Mother, let's not go back to the old house, and the daughter doesn't care if she can't go to the family tree, anyway, the daughter only needs to follow her mother in this life, why should we go back to the family to suffer this grievance?"
Mrs. Bai felt uncomfortable in her heart, and couldn't help but be amused by her daughter's nonsense: "Huan Niang, this is really nonsense, my Huan Niang is so good, so smart and clever, how can she follow her mother and not marry for the rest of her life? No matter how good your parents are, they can only accompany you for half your life after all, and they can't replace your future husband and children, how can your mother not plan for you? But you, the child, know it in your heart, and you can see that you will be wronged when you go back." ”
Parents can only accompany them for half their lives, and they can't replace their husbands and children, is this the case?
No, for her, absolutely not.
Xu Chenghuan suddenly reached out and hugged Mrs. Bai and snuggled tightly on her shoulder.
"Mother, my daughter was ignorant in the past, which made my mother embarrassed...... If the daughter does not marry in the future, she will not have a husband, and she will not have children, as long as her mother and father are well, she will have nothing else to ask for in this life. ”
She didn't dare to let Mrs. Bai see the tears in her eyes.
Xu Chenghuan in the past, how ignorant!
It doesn't matter if she dies, how sad should her father and mother be? How dangerous is the eldest brother Xu Chenglin who is sent to the northwest?
Husband, this is a title that she has avoided like a femme fatale!
In this life, she Xu Chenghuan is left to return to the capital and explain this matter to herself and her parents and brothers!
Mrs. Bai didn't know how her daughter could suddenly say such a thing, she had no husband and children all her life, she was miserable and blinded by people during her lifetime, and she was a lonely ghost after her death, and no one burned incense and paper to support her, how terrible and difficult it was for a woman, how could her daughter think so?
But she didn't dare to question her daughter, she only felt that her daughter's little face was cold, and hugged her distressedly to comfort: "Huanniang, don't talk nonsense, you will definitely have a full house of children and grandchildren in the future, and live a harmonious and beautiful life, you will be sad if you talk nonsense about your mother!"
went to call the maid again: "Shake Hui, go and get a coat for the eldest lady." ”
Shao Hui felt inexplicable, this April day, the eldest lady should not be cold in a jacket!
Still, she went to get it.
Mrs. Bai was talking, but she was thinking in her heart, did the incident just now make her daughter frightened again?
Her hatred for the old mansion immediately added another layer.
Xu Chenghuan closed his eyes and didn't say any more.
She used to insist on being the queen, but the whole family stopped her, but she didn't listen after all.
Now she says she doesn't want to marry again, and it is estimated that no one will take it seriously.
That's it, why bother to say sad things without a shadow at this time.
This incident completely affected the mood of the mother and daughter, and it was not until the end of lunch that Mrs. Bai was completely calm, and she took her daughter to sit in the west span to do needlework, and talked about these old grievances without a match.
"At that time you were young, only three years old, and you had great strength and were easily frightened, and the children in the old house liked to bully and play tricks on you, and often provoked you to shout and scream and be restless and smash things, and your grandmother said that you had disturbed her, and that she had to let us break up. ”
In the past, those things that did not dare to be mentioned easily, in front of her completely good daughter, Mrs. Bai dared to say it.
"The Bai family is not very rich, but the family has acres of land, and there are even a few shops on the street, and the family has a lot of silver. But when our family was separated, there was nothing, there was really not a stitch or thread! Fortunately, the clan watched, and your grandmother was not embarrassed to swallow your mother's dowry, so your mother sold the dowry and rented a house to take you to live. ”
Thinking of the hardships of the past, Mrs. Bai put down the needle and thread in her hand and sighed infinitely: "That's really bitter, your father has little silver, and he still fights outside all the year round, and your grandfather's family is far away in Jiangzhou, and the clan is like this to us, who else cares about us?
"My mother still remembers that when your brother was ten years old, he helped me chop firewood in the cold winter, and then he got a cold and high fever, and the family did not have enough money, so my mother was really desperate to beg for the old house, kneeling in front of the door and begging for them, but I didn't even ask for a copper plate!"
Mrs. Bai said, thinking of those sad things, she couldn't help wiping away her tears, and her voice was full of bitter coldness:
"On the way back, my whole body was frozen and my heart was cold. Your grandmother doesn't want to see me, forget it, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have never looked at me much, but your brother is her grandson, she can be so ruthless! In the end, the owner of the house that rented the house to us was afraid that your brother would have trouble in his house, so he kindly paid some money to give your brother to see a doctor and take medicine, otherwise it would be difficult to say that your brother is not here now. ”
"Later, your father slowly saved up military merits, with a military position, life slowly got better, we finally bought a house to settle down, for his decency, the family bought a few people, the old house and told people everywhere that we are not filial, and they live a good life to let the old lady eat bran vegetables, for your father's reputation, my mother endured the anger and bought two maids to send to the old house to your grandmother, until now the monthly case is still out of us! The New Year's holiday ceremony on weekdays is not less at all, even so, she has never been close to our family, your father and your brother father and son go to kowtow during the New Year's holiday, and they have not even given a good face, and your brother is often bullied by the old house to wipe his tears back. Not to mention, she probably doesn't even remember what you look like now. ”
"This grievance in my mother's heart...... At the beginning, your grandfather said that your father was right-minded, and I followed him without being wronged, so he married me from Jiangzhou to such a far place, I followed your father, but I didn't suffer your father's grievances, but the grievances of the Bai clan, my mother is really fed up!"
Jiangzhou ...... Xu Chenghuan pondered silently in her heart, in the land south of the Yangtze River, more than 2,000 miles away from Yuzhou, no wonder she had never heard anyone mention the original ancestor these days.
Thinking about her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wei Beihou, if she suffers some grievances, even if her uncle Zhongyi's title is not as good as that of her father Wei Beihou, she will be the first to refuse, but Mrs. Bai is so far away from her mother's house, no wonder no one takes care of these grievances.
She knows what Mrs. Bai is, she is such a strong person who kneels outside the door of her relatives and begs with others, but in the end no one pays attention to it, it is strange that she does not hate it.
Xu Chenghuan thought in her heart, but Mrs. Bai pulled her seriously and advised: "Huan Niang, my mother said this, not to ask you to say anything crooked and not to marry in the future, but to let you understand the virtue of the people in the old mansion, if you really want to deal with it in the future, you have a number in your heart." ”
"This time, although I don't know what they want to calculate, but I'm afraid that they will buckle down an unfilial hat, we will be passive, we can only accept it first, and besides, my mother will let you be on this genealogy anyway, and when your father comes back, we will plan well, you must not say those nonsense that poke people's hearts!"
Xu Chenghuan was silent, only smiled obediently, and the two sharp little tiger teeth made Mrs. Bai feel a lot more relieved.
She won't talk nonsense in the future, just do what she has to do.
