Chapter 66: The First Signs
Although Mrs. Bai cried and grabbed the ground, Bai Bingxiong had been heartbroken under Mrs. Bai's pickiness and coldness for so many years. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The original respect and admiration for his mother had long been exhausted, and he didn't comfort Mrs. Bai in the end, nor did he kneel down obediently to plead guilty as before, he went with her to cry, anyway, there were sisters-in-law and they coaxed, he called his two brothers to go out together.
The person who wanted to handle it shook his hand and left, and the old lady Bai cried a few times and felt that it was really boring, so she covered her forehead and shouted that she had a headache, and when she lay down, she turned in, ignoring Li and her children, and wanted to embarrass Li.
But Li was already familiar with his mother-in-law's behavior, so he didn't pay attention to her, turned around and called his daughter to recognize the people in the house one by one.
Bai Huanniang was born crazy and stupid, and the people of the Bai family are strangers to her, even if they have seen it, which just hides the fact that Bai Chenghuan is not the original.
Bai Chenghuan stood in the corner of the house with the Li family, silently looking at this big family.
If he had listened to Li's description of the past before, Bai Chenghuan had doubted whether Bai Bingxiong would not have been born to the old lady so that he was eccentric to that extent, but when he saw the two uncles today, he had no doubts.
The three brothers who went out just now, except for the slight difference in height, shortness, fat and thinness, the rest are simply carved out of a mold.
In this regard, Bai Chenghuan can only say that the length of five fingers is not ordinary, maybe Bai Bingxiong is the shortest one in the eyes of the old lady.
The people who stayed in the house followed Mrs. Bai to comfort the old lady, except for the white lotus, the two daughters-in-law of the big house, both of whom were ordinary-looking and well-behaved little daughters-in-law, and they did whatever their mother-in-law did.
The face of the little woman standing underground holding the child is similar to Mrs. Bai, she has a round face, her eyes are quite big but a little godless, this is the second daughter of the big house, and now she is the third in the Bai family. The little boy in his arms twisted around, that was the only great-grandson of the Bai family, Brother Tao.
The rest are the two cousins of Dafang, Bai Xiangjia and Bai Xiangye, both of whom are the looks of the men of the Bai family, tall and with a somewhat rough face, but their attitude is diametrically opposite to that of Mrs. Bai, and when they saw her saluting, they called her "Sister Chenghuan" very amiably.
In this way, the men of the entire Bai family, only the elder brother Bai Xianghuan is an exception, although the figure is also tall, but the eyebrows and eyes are weak towards scholars, which may be related to the fact that he likes to read and does not like to practice martial arts since he was a child.
In addition to the people in the big room, it is the people in the second room, a woman with a pale face and the same age as the Li family stood by the door with two little women with good looks but a little cowering.
"This is your second mother, your second sister Lianxin, and your fourth sister Lianye. ”
Li said to his daughter.
"The second mother is good, the second sister and the fourth sister are good. Bai Chenghuan greeted them one by one.
The woman only nodded lightly and said nothing, and the two little women only said "Hello sister" like gnats, and said nothing more.
It's just that Li seems to be used to it, and he is not dissatisfied.
When the people in the house finished meeting one by one, the old lady Bai was still lying down and taking her temperament.
Li is no longer the little daughter-in-law who just entered the Bai family, so many years of the old lady has already cooled her heart, she saluted the back of the old lady lying on the big kang and said: "Since the mother is uncomfortable, then rest early, the daughter-in-law took Huan Niang back first, what does the mother want to eat, what do you want, ask A Luo to go over and say, the daughter-in-law will send it to the mother." ”
Old Lady Bai closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, Li stood for a while without getting any reply, secretly sneered, got up and took her daughter out of the house.
What about Li Xian'e, who was afraid of her children in the past, showed weakness and thin-skinned in everything, and wanted to go to great lengths to please her family?
Out of the main house, before leaving, Li beckoned to call the two maids who had sent them to the old house, Ah Luo and Ah Lan.
"I have left you in the old house all these years, I have wronged you, from now on, you will keep an eye on me, and remember any troubles for me, and when you reach the age, I will find a good family for you. ”
"Yes, the slave will definitely serve the old lady well, please rest assured that the third lady. ”
The two maids were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly bowed down and agreed. They are not just serving a difficult old lady here, this big lady's family is reluctant to buy more maids, so many people only have a total of seven or eight servants, and they like to play music, and they can always call them when they have nothing to do, their lives are miserable, and now listening to Li's words, seeing that there is hope for jumping out of this quagmire, the original secret complaint against Li's is gone.
Li Shi looked at their expressions and knew that they understood in their hearts, so he didn't say anything more.
In the end, these two maids are still out of her monthly routine, and the deed of sale is still in her hands, so many years are just not pulling with this side, there is no need to bother with that thought, but this time since this side is so fanfare to calculate, then she can't just wait to be calculated by them, this is a ready-made ear report.
"Huanniang, let's go to the carriage and wait for your father first, Xiao Wu, go and bring the third young master's horse over. ”
Li took his daughter out of the door, stood by the carriage and commanded, and Mrs. Bai chased after her, just hearing her words, she immediately smiled: "Ouch, I just said that the third brother and sister still know how to be polite, look, that's right, in the future, Xianghuan will be the third young master, our Huan Niang, but it's not the eldest lady, it's the fifth miss, don't shout wrong, don't shout wrong, our Bai family will only have a big young master in the future, and a big lady in Lotus, how good is such a loving family!"
Li Shi didn't even have a smile, and said coldly: "Isn't my mother-in-law still having a headache, and my sister-in-law doesn't have anyone to ask the doctor to chase her out, just to say this?"
Mrs. Bai's smiling face stiffened, and her good mood was not disturbed, and she waved her handkerchief: "Yes, yes, the poor mother-in-law is away from me, so I can't do it, then I'll go first, you can go back." ”
Li didn't pay attention to her, watched his daughter get into the carriage, and followed him.
The mother and daughter sat down in the car, and Li sighed softly.
Huanniang, don't take your grandmother's appearance to heart, she is not dissatisfied with you, she is dissatisfied with our family!"
From beginning to end, in addition to being picky about her name, Mrs. Bai never asked Huan Niang!
This is still her own granddaughter, it's really not as good as two bystanders! The daughter doesn't know how sad she is!
Bai Chenghuan couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her angry appearance.
"Mother don't be upset, my grandmother is confused, I won't take it to heart. ”
Seriously, she thought that Old Lady Bai would be a ruthless character like those old ladies and old ladies in the capital, but she found out when she saw it today, but that's it.
looks kind and kind-hearted, but this temperament is awkward and cold, and the heart is biased, and it is also a means to grind people, although it is disgusting, but when you meet a person like Li who doesn't care about this kind of soft knife now, it is not lethal. Compared to those real evil mothers-in-law, that means are far worse.
If those old ladies in the capital are full of rules, it is not so simple to ignore them, and they are often punished for kneeling and copying scriptures or something, but it will not be just a matter of embarrassment.
Such an old lady only needs to be far away, and nothing will get in the way.
The mother and daughter waited for a while, and Bai Bingxiong returned.
He stood in front of the car and lifted the curtain to explain the situation to Li: "I didn't ask, and I didn't say why." ”
Li snorted coldly: "Naturally, I can't ask, it's all elbows turned in, who would be so stupid to tell you!"
For his two elder brothers, Bai Bingxiong still has some thoughts of family affection, and shook his head again and again: "No, the eldest brother and the second brother are not like that, and they must not know." ”
"Then look, sooner or later the fox's tail will show out. Li didn't want to embarrass her husband anymore, so she revealed the matter.
However, Bai Chenghuan was thinking about Mrs. Bai's excited words on the side, and he had a point in his heart.
It turns out that what you have to fight for is just a name.
I just don't know, is fighting for the title of the eldest young master of the Bai family or the title of the eldest lady of the Bai family?
Although the Bai family is prosperous, they have no reputation, and there are many families, what benefits can a young master and a young lady bring?
