Jiang Yu couldn't help but listen carefully, and always felt that there must be a wonderful story there, and she liked to listen to stories.

Mr. Bai continued: "But Mrs. Bai has never complained about this. picked up the needle and thread, did embroidery work day and night, exchanged silver for Lao Suo to buy books, buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and raise money to go to Beijing to catch the exam. She lived a hard life with me for several years, and our daughter was born. But whether it is her or our daughter, Lao Suo owes them, our daughter, since she was born, Lao Suo has not hugged her a few times. Lao Suo also thought that one day when Lao Suo won the fame, he must ask her for a phoenix crown and a graceful wife, so that everyone would envy her.

Later, one day, Lao Suo finally won the top prize in the examination, but he didn't wait for Lao Suo to ask for a phoenix crown for her, but waited for the news of her death. Lao Suo returned to his hometown to mourn, and later learned that Lao Suo's wife had been very seriously ill from overwork at a very early age, but in order to save money for Lao Suo to go to Beijing, and in order not to let Lao Suo be distracted by reading, she concealed her illness, never sought medical treatment, and never told Lao Suo, so she suffered to death in this way. Lao Su didn't even have time to see her for the last time, and when she returned home, she saw her cold body lying on the bed, and our daughter sitting on the edge of the bed crying. Lao Suo's mother-in-law pulled Lao Suo's clothes and beat Lao Suo while crying, blaming Lao Suo for killing her daughter.

Lao Suo thought at that time, even if Lao Suo has fame and fortune, his family and relatives have no way to protect him, and what can Lao Suo do even if he is a marquis. ”

Although Jiang Yu felt that his wife was too stupid, he still had to comfort him and said, "It's not the old man's fault. ”

Mr. Bai shook his head, with a somewhat painful look on his face, and continued: "Lao Suo's father-in-law and mother-in-law blamed Lao Suo for his daughter's death, and he has been making trouble for Lao Suo's life. If Lao Sue is just one person, it will be nothing to go with her, but Lao Suo still has a daughter who is waiting to be fed. Lao Suo couldn't stay in his hometown, and the court sent people to ask Lao Suo to return to Beijing to confer an official. Lao Suo was in the pain of losing his wife, and his fame suddenly faded, and finally he left his hometown with his daughter and lived in seclusion here. The father and daughter have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and finally waited until the daughter was older, but the daughter met a man, and then fell in love with him and wanted to leave with him.

Lao Suo's daughter is very stupid, just like her mother, she will fight when she falls in love. That man has a noble status, a complicated family background, a group of wives and concubines in the family, and the environment in which he is located is deceitful and treacherous, and if he is not careful, he will never recover. And Lao Suo's daughter grew up in the countryside, without deep scheming and no peerless appearance, Lao Suo was always worried that she would suffer, so he didn't want them to be together. But she knelt in front of Lao Suo, crying and begging Lao Suo, saying that she loved him and that she wanted to be with him, whether it was life or death, life and death. At that time, Lao Suo knew that Lao Suo's father couldn't stop her, just like Lao Suo's father-in-law couldn't stop Lao Suo's wife back then, it was Lao Suo who stopped her, and in the end she would abandon Lao Suo's father and go away with him, so Lao Suo finally relented and fulfilled her.

She has been gone for nearly ten years, and then she gave birth to a child, and came back to visit Lao Suo with the child Weiyi, which was also the last time Lao Sue saw her. ”

When she said this, the corners of her mouth seemed to be in tears, as if she was sad, and as if she was blaming herself.

He continued: "For many years later, Lao Suo always wondered if Lao Sue had been ruthless enough to stop her from following that man's mind, and even if Lao Sue hadn't escaped with Lao Suo's wife, she would not have died young. ”

Jiang Yu said: "This is Concubine Xian's own choice back then, and it has nothing to do with the old gentleman." And in her opinion, Concubine Bai Xian's choice back then was really unfilial. How can anyone abandon even his father who loves him deeply for the sake of a man.

Looking at Mr. Bai now alone, she felt very pitiful.

Mr. Bai suddenly waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, it's all about the old man." As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Yu with a thick smile: "He likes you very much." ”

Jiang Yu let out an "ah", suddenly felt that the topic had changed too quickly, and then paused for a moment to understand who he was referring to.

Jiang Yu waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid the old gentleman is wrong, he doesn't like me, not to mention that he has many women." ”

Mr. Bai said: "Eyes can't deceive people, he looks at you differently." ”

Jiang Yu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he continued: "Lao Su also knows that you are a good girl. ”

His tone was a little less respectful, but a little more reassuring, as if he really regarded Jiang Yu as a junior, and said: "Lao Suo is in this world, there is only so little blood left, and he has always been concerned about it." Now see him take you back to visit Lao Suo, see that he is now an adult, tall and mighty, wise and martial, Lao Suo has no regrets, he will go underground to see Lao Suo's daughter, and he can be ashamed. ”

Although he reigned all over the world and was rich all over the world, he lost his mother when he was young, and he grew up in that place in the palace, and he inevitably had regrets in his heart. Niangniang is a person with a sparse personality, and Lao Suo hopes that Niangniang can always accompany him and assist her. ”

Jiang Yu listened to what he said, and only felt very weird, so he had to haha: "This matter, I think the initiative is still in the hands of the emperor." You said that if he wanted to be alone, who would dare not accompany him. If he doesn't want to be alone, who would dare to come to him, don't you say? ”

Mr. Bai smiled and stopped talking, but looked up at the sky again.

Jiang Yu looked at him, looked at the sky again at night, "Uh-huh", and persuaded him: "Old man, this is more dewy, and the weather at night after autumn is also cold, I think you should not stay here for too long, go back and rest." lest you catch a cold and get sick, which will make the emperor worried. ”

Mr. Bai said, "Okay, okay, it's time to go back to sleep." He stood up as he leaned on the table.

Jiang Yu stepped forward and wanted to help him, but Mr. Bai pushed her away and said, "No need to help, Lao Su can still walk." As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Niangniang, go back quickly, don't let the saint wake up and find no one." ”

Jiang Yu watched him walk away and return to his room before starting to go back to his room. When I opened the door and came in, the candles had been lit in the room, Yu Wenhong had already gotten up from the bed, standing on the edge of the bed and wearing a coat, when I saw her come in and asked, "Where have you been?"

Jiang Yu said: "I went to the toilet, met Mr. Bai again in the courtyard, and talked for a while. ”

Yu Wenhong paused when she listened, and didn't ask her what she said to Mr. Bai, but asked: "Why don't you go out without carrying a lantern, you are not familiar with this place, and you are not afraid of falling on the road." ”

Jiang Yu said: "I mentioned it, but I accidentally burned it." ”

Yu Wenhong didn't say anything more, took off the half-draped coat again, and said, "Then sleep." I was still in the middle of the night when you were taken away by a wolf, and I was looking for you. ”
