Chapter 409: Aunt Zhu
Seeing Mrs. Wei Beihou's attitude, Bai Chenghuan quickly put away this bit of surprise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As long as the mother can control it, it is also a good thing that Aunt Zhu can be quiet and not cause trouble to the mother.
Recently, Xu Chengyi has been quiet in the palace as if there is no such person, and his cousin Xu Chengle was originally a worry-free person, so as long as they are safe and secure, with their motherly temperament, they will not be embarrassed anymore.
In the final analysis, there are only a few father's children, as long as she doesn't cause trouble to the family, she also misses them a little bit of kinship.
Thinking of flesh and blood affection, Bai Chenghuan felt that she hadn't seen her eldest sister Xu Chengru for some days, and among her father's concubines, she had the deepest affection with her eldest sister since childhood.
"Eldest sister, what's going on at home? I haven't seen her come these days. ”
Xu Chengru is not so close to her now, speaking of which, it is reasonable, after all, in Xu Chengru's eyes, she is just a sudden righteous sister, not her own sister Xu Chenghuan.
But in the past, because her mother-in-law was kind and did not detain her, the eldest sister would go back to Houfu to visit her mother from time to time.
Mrs. Wei Beihou's face appeared with a hint of joy:
"Your eldest sister is not very happy these days, I have asked a doctor to diagnose her, I am afraid that there is something, but the days are too shallow, and you can't go out until you are sure and settled. But in the past few days, your eldest sister is also very concerned about your affairs, and has repeatedly sent people to ask, I told her not to be anxious, and to keep it at ease, but I was also afraid that you would be upset when she remembered the things of the past few days, so I didn't tell you. In a few days, find a way to get the emperor to revoke your ban, and we can also go and see your eldest sister. ”
Bai Chenghuan was also very surprised when he heard these words: "Isn't the eldest sister happy?"
The eldest sister has been married for nearly a year, and there has been no movement, although her in-laws dare not say anything in the way of Houfu, but her mother has not been at ease, and she has not been given home remedies to her.
happened to meet her death again, and the national mourning was delayed for three months, and now there is finally some movement, which is really joyful.
Mrs. Wei Beihou had a smile between her eyebrows and eyes: "More than half of them are! Now my mother is relieved, after all, my mother's family will support her again, and the heir is the foundation of her foothold, as long as she can live well, her mother will be worthy of her aunt." ”
Bai Chenghuan nodded, the biological mother of the eldest sister Xu Chengru was the maid who accompanied her mother that day, and she was loyal to her mother, which was also a reason why her mother took special care of her eldest sister.
Mrs. Wei Beihou took a sip of tea, and then said: "When your sister gives birth to a child successfully, let your father find a way to move a place for your brother-in-law, and be more motivated in the future, no matter what the situation is, you can also earn a life for your sister to come back, and your sister's day will be complete." ”
Bai Chenghuan couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, it's still thoughtful and thoughtful, the eldest sister has a good temperament, she has to gain a firm foothold in the Dong family and then give her brother-in-law an errand, so as not to be bullied by her sister, and her mother is really planning for the eldest sister!"
These words were very much to Mrs. Wei Beihou, she hugged Bai Chenghuan and sighed:
"Fortunately, you are your mother's little padded jacket, and you know your mother's heart! Fortunately, your eldest sister is a person who understands, if it is a villain, I don't know how to be angry!"
Speaking of which, Bai Chenghuan still likes the eldest sister's temperament very much, and she understands it in her heart. If this family affair was put on Xu Chengyi, Xu Chengyi would have been in trouble early in the morning.
The eldest sister Xu Chengru married to the family surnamed Dong, and her brother-in-law Dong Zheng is the only son in the family, and he took the path of martial arts.
The seven-grade city gate officials are no better than Bai Bingxiong's seven-rank general in Yuzhou, and they really have no power in their hands, but they are in charge of the city gate, and they are closed in the morning and evening, and they are checked in the past. Fortunately, this is the gate of the capital, even if it is just guarding the city gate, there is still some oil and water, and it is better to be stable, and you don't have to lick the blood to live.
In the past, Xu Chengyi often publicly despised his brother-in-law, repeatedly ridiculed him for being just a gatekeeper, and even sowed discord in front of his eldest sister, saying that she Xu Chenghuan married the supreme emperor, but let her sister marry a military attache of the seventh grade, which was obviously the partiality of her mother.
But I don't know that my mother values this Dong family, mainly because I consider that the Dong family is innocent, and the Dong family has a simple population, so Mrs. Dong knew her mother in her early years, and she is very gentle and kind.
In the eyes of outsiders, the future queen's sister-in-law, no matter what, is finally the daughter of the Houfu, and such a marriage match is unsatisfactory. But I don't know that in the eyes of Houfu, since Xu Chengru's mother's family is Houfu and her sister wants to be the queen, the most important thing about marriage is power, as long as you pick a husband with a clean family style and a good husband for her, and her husband is more motivated, it is not difficult to be powerful.
Fortunately, no matter what others say about gossip, the eldest sister is very successful in her heart, and she also knows that her mother-in-law plans to do so for her good.
Ice basins were placed in the four corners of the room, and Bai Chenghuan was not afraid of the heat, so he wrapped himself in the arms of Mrs. Wei Beihou and said with a smile:
"Mother just rest assured, the eldest sister said that day, she is also afraid that her mother will really choose a noble family for her, her background and temperament can not be suppressed, she also told me, this marriage after life, such as people drink water cold and warm self-knowledge, she is very grateful to her mother, knowing that her mother is a hard work for her. ”
Mrs. Wei Beihou nodded: "Your eldest sister is still a little sincere to me and you, as for that one, don't mention it." ”
The mother and daughter were excited about what else to send to Xu Chengru and which grandmother to send to visit again.
After laughing and laughing, Bai Chenghuan walked to Huanyi Pavilion again.
The flowers and trees at the feet along the way are very lush, and it seems that no matter how dry the weather is, it will not affect the powerful family like Weibei Houfu.
The flowers and trees are flourishing, the scenery is like this, and a trace of melancholy in Bai Chenghuan's heart also dissipates with the wind.
When she was alive, when she sent her eldest sister to get married, she said that no matter what happened in the future, she would support her eldest sister.
And now, Xu Chenghuan will not return to this world, Xu Chengyi is determined to stay in the palace, the three daughters of the Xu family, only the eldest sister's marriage is still happy.
She only hopes that her eldest sister can always be happy like this, and no matter who she is, in her heart, Xu Chengru is her eldest sister.
When he was about to walk to the door of Huanyi Pavilion, he heard water chestnuts arguing with people from a distance.
"Aunt Zhu, you are digging everywhere like this, and you have dug up Miss Bai's Huanyi Pavilion! Do you know that Miss Bai is now a celebrity in front of Madame, and you have offended her, do you want Master Hou to reward you with another board?"
The water chestnut crossed his waist and scolded Aunt Zhu, who was squatting on the ground with a shovel to dig up the roots of the tree.
If it had been placed in the past, the water chestnut would naturally not have spoken to Aunt Zhu like this, and it would have been too late to catch up.
But now, Aunt Zhu has fallen out of favor, she has lost her momentum, the wall is down and everyone pushes her, and it is really not the style of water chestnut if she doesn't step on it.
Aunt Zhu has not been squeezed like this in the past few days, and when she heard this, she raised her head blankly, her once graceful face was expressionless, she glanced at Huan Yi Pavilion, and said coldly:
"This Huanyi Pavilion belongs to the eldest lady in the past, not to Miss Bai. ”
After saying that, he lowered his head and still squatted on the ground to dig the roots.
"You're so majestic, you still think you used to be!"
Seeing that she didn't take her words seriously at all, Ling Jiao was so angry that she rushed forward a few steps, and was about to raise her foot to kick Aunt Zhu!
"Water chestnut!"
Bai Chenghuan couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.
Water chestnut's behavior will only make people think that she is Bai Chenghuan frivolous, and she bullied the concubine of the Houfu by relying on her wife's strength!
Even Xu Chenghuan in the past would not act like this!
The water chestnut was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw Bai Chenghuan, although he hurriedly stopped, the unconvinced look on his face didn't have time to put it away.
She curtsied and said aggrievedly: "Miss Bai, the slave is angry for you......"
"What kind of anger does Miss Fourth have for you, it's just a few plants and trees, and Madame doesn't care, is Miss Fourth still better at accounting? Besides, what do you call Miss Four? Have you forgotten Mama Gao's words?"
Shao Hui, who was following behind Bai Chenghuan, knew that his master had never liked to talk to his subordinates, so he stepped forward and said.
The corners of the water chestnut's mouth twitched: "I didn't tell you, what are you......"
"She's my big girl!"
Bai Chenghuan was really impatient that someone was arguing in front of his door, and he stopped the water chestnut's words.
"I think it's the water chestnut that you are so majestic, who gave you the courage to do it to the aunt of Houfu? I can't afford to use an extraordinary maid like you, you go to find Mama Gao yourself, and let her arrange another errand for you." ”
Bai Chenghuan ended the dispute in one sentence, no matter how the water chestnut was dissatisfied, and how Shao Hui let people take her away, she walked straight to Aunt Zhu, who was digging and digging.
"Auntie, what are you looking for? Why don't you find someone to dig it for you?"
In her impression, Aunt Zhu cherishes her own appearance and skin very much on weekdays, and she has to emphasize pampering everywhere, how can she do such a rough thing with her own hands?
And the hands that kept waving at the roots of the tree were rough, covered with dirt, and even the nails were full of dirt, and it was hard to imagine that this was Aunt Zhu's once white and smooth hands.
Aunt Zhu didn't raise her head, nor did she answer, she just buried her head in the soil, looking like that, she couldn't wait to dig three feet into the ground.
On the other hand, the mother-in-law who had been blocking Aunt Zhu stepped forward and replied:
"Fourth Miss, Aunt Zhu has been digging everywhere like she has lost her mind and gone crazy these days, and she has been digging a hole under the roots of any taller tree in this Houfu, and she doesn't know what she is looking for. Fortunately, Mrs. is kind and doesn't care about her, but if it goes on like this, it's not a way, on such a dry day, this tree is tossed so much, and it can't wither? ”
No matter what others said, Aunt Zhu only concentrated on digging the soil, and never raised her head.
Seeing that Aunt Zhu had made up her mind not to speak, Bai Chenghuan didn't say more, answered the mother-in-law, and entered the door of Huanyi Pavilion.
It wasn't until near noon that Bai Chenghuan stood in front of the window outside that he saw Aunt Zhu standing up, moving her legs and feet, staggering, and gradually walking away under the scorching sun.
With such a withered back, he could see Bai Chenghuan's indescribable taste in his heart, and he also had a little more doubts in his heart.
What the hell is she looking for?
Aunt Zhu entered her yard, and the maid who was waiting for her came out.
While taking clean clothes and waiting for Aunt Zhu to change, she couldn't help but persuade with half a complaint:
"Auntie, what are you looking for, tell Master Hou, you are like this, it's not a solution!"
The maid is also worried about following Aunt Zhu these days, but now Mrs. is kind and doesn't care about her, but if Mrs. cares, none of them can escape.
Aunt Zhu soaked in the bathtub tiredly, and her numb eyes became darker and darker.
She shook her head slowly, her expression determined and persistent.
"No, I'm going to find it with my own hands! I'm going to let that slut surnamed Lin go to hell! She ruined my life, and I will never let her family live! I must find evidence to show Madame!"
That look was a little crazy, and Aunt Zhu was still there, the maid's heart jumped, and she didn't dare to speak again.
Aunt Zhu's strange appearance always felt faintly uneasy in Bai Chenghuan's heart, and she still mentioned it to Mrs. Wei Beihou.
Mrs. Wei Beihou thought about it, and also paid attention to it, so she found the steward of the flowers and plants.
"In the past few days, let people keep an eye on me to see what she is going to dig! Also, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and you will also search carefully for the place she dug up, and if there is nothing wrong, you can quickly fill it in, otherwise what will the hole in this house look like?"
The steward hurriedly agreed and withdrew, and he was relieved, if Mrs. didn't send a word about this matter, he couldn't embarrass Aunt Zhu clearly, who knows if she will be remembered by Hou Ye in the future.
Mrs. Weibei muttered to Bai Chenghuan: "This person, no matter what, it really doesn't make people stop!"
When it comes to Aunt Zhu, she will not be happy.
Bai Chenghuan knew how deep the pain Aunt Zhu had brought to her mother over the years, so she didn't continue to talk about it, but talked about the water chestnut matter.
"Mother, my identity is not as good as before, such a person, I don't want to stay by my side. ”
Mrs. Wei Beihou couldn't help but feel sorry when she saw her daughter telling her seriously for a maid.
The former daughter, if she doesn't want a maid, she doesn't want it, where will she be so careful?
"It's just a maid, if you don't like it, let her go on an errand elsewhere, what's this!"
turned his head and ordered Mama Gao to let the mother of the water chestnut come in and take her away.
Mama Gao knew that Bai Chenghuan was fine, and knew the seriousness of this matter, although the mother of the water chestnut still had a bit of face in the house, and she begged Mama Gao for a while, Mama Gao still asked her to take the person away.
The water chestnut cried all the way, and hated Bai Chenghuan half to death in his heart - it was just a righteous daughter who climbed up, and she was also majestic with her like this!
In the evening, Ah Hua rushed into Huanyi Pavilion with a letter in his hand:
"Miss, family letter, Mrs. Yuzhou's letter!"
Bai Chenghuan stood up suddenly, and Shao Hui didn't dislike Ah Hua's loud voice.
Shao Hui hurriedly took it over and gave it to Bai Chenghuan, the eldest lady is looking forward to Yuzhou's letter these days.
As soon as Bai Chenghuanxin got his hands on it, he hurriedly opened it and looked at it, swept it at a glance, and read it seriously.
The smile on her face faded little by little, no wonder Yuzhou's mother hasn't written from her for so long, and there are so many things at home.
