Chapter 3: Bai Xiaochu's marriage
Mama Xu's words have to start with Shi Guogong's birthday a while ago.
On that day, Shi Guogong's mansion was decorated with lanterns and a feast. In Kyoto, large and small noble families have received invitations from the Shi family. Among them, including the Bai family.
Third Sister Yun said that she was sick and did not attend the banquet. The Dawang family led his precious niece, Bai Xiaowan, the second daughter of the Shi family, to the banquet, followed by a slightly shabby Miss Bai Xiaochu in the distance.
The fact that the Yun family's maiden and wife were not welcomed in the Bai family is known to everyone in Kyoto. In the aristocratic circle, it is best to praise the high and step on the low. Therefore, whether it is the wife of the Hou family or the maid and wife of the Shi family, the eyes that look at Bai Xiaochu are full of disdain, and on the other side, Bai Xiaowan is surrounded by "flowers". Bai Xiaochu was used to seeing this, and she was cheeky, and she sat firmly with her waist up at the banquet, although her clothes were old, she was very upright, for fear of being underestimated.
The ladies and ladies were in groups of three or five, each bowing their heads and laughing a few words, seeing that Bai Xiaochu still looked like "open-skinned", they also felt bored, so they all changed the topic and chatted about various family routines.
Bai Xiaochu was soon forgotten by everyone.
Just when everyone was full of wine and food, and walked to the backyard stage in groups, I don't know where to go, a panicked girl suddenly rushed out. There were no rules, and they rushed directly into the crowd.
Without waiting for everyone to react, she had already taken a step and pounced at the feet of the Dawang clan beside Bai Xiaowan:
"Mrs. Auntie, you have to be the master of our young lady!"
The Da Wang clan looked down, isn't this Bai Xiaochu's personal maid Hongyun? Suddenly I was out of breath. What trouble did this Bai Xiaochu cause for himself?
Everyone around them stopped and looked over here.
"What's the matter, let's go back, don't disturb the interest of the ladies and ladies watching the play."
The Dawang clan glanced at Hongyun vigorously, but Hongyun didn't realize it, but cried instead: "Miss Fangcai's skirt was sprinkled with tea, and I had to ask the maid of the Shi family to lead the way for us, and I wanted to change Miss's dress." Who's going to think about it...... Who would have thought that the maid would point to a room at random and perfunctory. Miss She didn't know the situation, she just changed her dirty dress when she entered the house, and Shi Lingfeng Shi Gongzi ...... He, he broke in! ”
There was an uproar.
Dawang's qi is extreme. This kind of thing, it's too late to cover it, and even say it in public, this red cloud, don't you want to die? The Dawang clan can't wait to kick her away, but in front of everyone, he can't be too ruthless.
Hongyun continued to cry for the master: "Auntie, now that the young lady's body has been seen by Shi Gongzi, her reputation has been ruined, and she will ...... in the future How will the young lady marry in the future? Mrs. is not here today, and you are the only one who can call the shots for Miss! ”
Everyone sighed again, and they all looked like they were waiting to see a good show.
Da Wang's face was extremely ugly, and his heart was itching with hatred: What a Bai Xiaochu, in front of everyone's eyes, what do you want to do to let the maid shout things out like this? Do you want to lose the people of the white family? She specially brought Wan'er to the banquet today, thinking of penetrating the tone of the Shi family, and wanting to do a good job for her niece and nephew. Although I heard that the Shi family is already talking to the Wei family, the Shi family doesn't have two sons of the right age. It's good now, how can she open her mouth when she makes such a fuss?!
She was originally a person with a good face, and she always looked like a generous and kind elder in front of people, but now she is begged like this, even if she wants to leave, she can't.
The scene was at a stalemate, when someone shouted angrily in a cold voice: "How do you know that it was our brother Feng who broke into the house?" ”
It was the head of the Shi family, Shi Sun, who spoke out. She was less than forty years old, and she wore a wide-sleeved placket with a dark red background and a four-fold ruyi pattern, and she looked graceful and gorgeous, and she was very wealthy.
Da Wang took the opportunity to speak: "Yes, you are not mistaken, you have never seen the appearance of Shi Gongzi, how can you know that it is him who broke in?" Isn't it too flustered, and he mistakenly recognized which maid of the Shi family as a man? After speaking, he glared at the red cloud under his feet.
As if he hadn't seen it, Hongyun spread out his palm, revealing a blue and blue jade pendant.
There was a big Feng character on the jade pendant, and it caught the eyes of everyone present: That is the symbol of the Shiguo Mansion! Each Shi family has it, and each has its own name engraved. Such a jade plaque was recognized by everyone present.
Mrs. Shi squinted her beautiful eyes, only staring at the Dawang clan and not saying a word. But there was a look of disdain on his face, as if to say: Your Bai family, it is clear that you are threatening! Do you want to be the daughter-in-law of my Shi family? Such a trick that can't be put on the table is really eye-opening.
Da Wang's face was even more unbearable, so he had to relieve himself by himself: "That's it, Sister Shi, let's go into the house to talk, all the sisters and sisters will also disperse first, Hongyun shouldn't help the first sister over quickly!" Let's talk about it in person, maybe we're mistaken! ”
The crowd couldn't rely on not going to see the excitement of the people anymore, so they went to watch the play in groups of three or five in the backyard. No one knows how they "explained" behind closed doors.
This matter has been rumored in Kyoto for a long time, and everyone is waiting to see how the Shi Bai family reacts. Both families are famous families, and the issue of face is extremely important. When something like this happens, there has to be an explanation. Otherwise, the family affairs of the children of the two families will be affected in the future.
Everyone said that this time the Shi family was on the way, as long as he took care of the Shi family's style and face, this Bai Xiaochu had to marry. This Bai Xiaochu is too, at a young age, with such a big scheming. In order to be able to get married, it is really unscrupulous!
Half a year later, Bai Xiaochu really married into the Shi family as he wished, and became the young lady of Shi Lingfeng, the young master of the Shi family. And the family affairs of the Shi family and the Duke of Wei are naturally yellow.
Hearing this, Ning Yun shook her head secretly.
Sister Bai's temperament, although she is a little greedy for money, will never have such a scheming to seek a high marriage. But the maid named Hongyun was a little weird. This Mrs. Shi is also ridiculous, a dignified duchess is so easy to be manipulated by a girl?
Who knows? In these high-ranking families in Kyoto, is there still less pickling? None of them can be put on the table, and how much better is it than Bai Xiaochu's matter?
It's boring.
Mama Xu took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and continued: "Then Miss Bai is also happy early. I'm afraid she doesn't know Shi Lingfeng's life experience yet. ”。
