Chapter 231: Questioning (1)
Early the next morning, the girls and sons of the eastern compound were all invited to the left hall of the Wenjun Building hall and had breakfast together.
After breakfast, Bai Shijun and his wife thought about it again and again, and carefully explained the matter of Bai Hongjuan and Li Xiaosheng's reconciliation and separation, as well as the foul language about Bai Qingting's rumors outside.
deliberately called Bai Chishui here, also because she is also Bai Qingting's sister, although she is a concubine, but she is also Bai Shijun's own flesh and blood, and when she goes out of the pavilion in the future, she has to support each other with the sisters and brothers in the Changfang.
Of course, most of this support has to rely on Bai Yaozong's support.
The meaning of this hint is clear in Bai Chishui's heart and understands it very well.
This time, the six aunts were all in the future, and I thought that she would not be summoned, but I didn't think that the eldest girl Huan Xiaochun next to her grandmother would personally call her in Yanshui Building early in the morning, saying that she would have breakfast with her father, grandmother, sisters and brothers.
At that time, she knew that this was a deliberate temptation arranged by her father.
said well, in the future, she will be indispensable for the support of her sisters and brothers.
It's bad, don't think about it, the first one of her marriages has to be matched by her mother-in-law at will, and I don't know if it's a concubine or a poor family, or directly a person who is beneficial to Baifu as a stepmother, of course, this person is not much better, either he is old or disabled.
Bearing Aunt Tong's words and worries, she came.
At this moment, after listening to what his father and mother said, Bai Hongjuan, Bai Qingting, Bai Chengyu and Bai Yaozong did not say anything, but Bai Chishui knew that it was time for her to make a statement:
"The eldest sister has married into the Li family for many years, but in the end, she has never been good. Since the eldest sister is independent and separated, her father and mother, the third sister, the eighth sister and the fifth brother all support it, and the daughter has no reason to oppose it, but ......"
Bai Shijun asked, "But what?" Water, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
Bai Chishui continued: "But my daughter heard that although Li Zhixian is a reasonable person, his wife, the head of the Li family, is not a good person, I am afraid that she will not obediently return the eldest sister's dowry......"
Bai Qingting glanced at Bai Chishui in surprise, she had always regarded this seventh sister as a sick son who did not leave the second door, and then according to Bai Chishui's words at this time. She knew she was looking away.
Bai Chishui can calmly express the worries in his heart. It can be seen that she is also sincerely thinking about Bai Hongjuan, and she also expressed her attitude to Bai Shijun and his wife and sisters and brothers, she is on the side of the elder family.
One is prosperous, and one is lost.
That's the reason. She knew it.
Not only Bai Qingting was surprised by Bai Chishui's sudden words. Even Mrs. Bai, who thought that she had always held this concubine tightly in her heart, was also indigestible. even more mentioning Bai Hongjuan and Bai Chengyu, Bai Yaozong and others.
Only Bai Shijun looked comforted and nodded: "You have your eldest sister's heart, that's fine." As for the latter things, you have always been weak, so do not think much about them. ”
Bai Qingting also said: "Father is right, the seventh sister only takes care of her body, and we will take care of the rest." ”
Mrs. Bai had come back to her senses at this time, and when she heard Bai Qingting say this, she said with a slight reproach:
"What we? Your eldest sister's affairs are up to me and your father to handle, Chishui doesn't have to worry about it, and you don't have to take care of it! You, a boudoir woman, are not allowed to meddle in outside affairs again! ”
Bai Shijun sighed and said: "Ting'er, your mother is right, now you can't protect yourself, don't make any more extraneous branches!" ”
Bai Qingting was silent, she didn't argue with Bai Shijun and his wife anymore, anyway, they couldn't argue, the two of them were for her good, at most she avoided it on her face, and her actions in private were.
"One more thing...... My daughter doesn't know whether to talk about it or not, ......," Bai Chishui suddenly hesitated.
"What's the matter with the seventh sister? Say it! Bai Chengyu was an anxious person, and asked urgently as soon as he heard Bai Chishui's unfinished words.
Bai Yaozong's childish voice also pretended to be old, and said: "Seventh Sister may as well say it directly, everyone present here is her own family, why can't you say it?" ”
Bai Shijun didn't speak this time, but just glanced at Mrs. Bai slightly, Mrs. Bai understood, and secretly was not angry, but she still expressed a pleasant attitude to Bai Chishui on her face:
"Since I called you early in the morning and had breakfast with everyone, I didn't treat you as an outsider, not to mention that this blood is connected, the lord and I are all looking at your sisters and brothers, the five of you can work together, twist into a rope and align with the outside, and the lord and I will also be considered to have more than half of our hearts in the future."
Bai Chishui immediately panicked and said: "Mother is right, it's her daughter who is stupid!" ”
Then he continued: "The matter of the third sister, my daughter feels very strange! ”
Bai Hongjuan asked, "How do you say this?" ”
The rest of the people also looked at Bai Chishui for a moment.
Bai Chishui said slowly: "I waited for Zhuangzi and his party, although my grandmother had already mentioned it, and the sisters had already planned, but because the third sister returned home at an uncertain time, the day of this trip was also uncertain. Coincidentally, on the day we arrived in Zhuangzi, the second girl of the palace sent a post to Zhuangzi, and the post stated that the third sister and the girls in Baifu were invited to go to Wenchi Villa to play.
However, just when I went to change clothes with the third sister, the second girl of the palace suddenly left, saying that the old lady of the palace was ill, and she had to leave first.
In addition, we were invited to visit Wenchi Villa, and the second girl of the palace had already prepared pastries to eat with our sisters, so it was understandable to treat us like this, but it was not fragrant tea that was used with pastries, but a good wine that was warmed in the morning......"
At the mention of the wine, Bai Chengyu buried her head in shame, knowing that she was a little embarrassed because she had caused a lot of trouble to her sisters because of her greed.
Bai Qingting listened to Bai Chishui's words, the deeper the color of inquiry in his eyes, which also contained a little appreciation, it seems that she, the seventh sister, is also a very smart character, it is rare to be able to see it so thoroughly.
Compared with Bai Qingting's appreciation, Bai Hongjuan was puzzled: "That wine...... What's wrong? ”
Bai Chishui glanced at Bai Qingting, and under Bai Qingting's encouraging eyes, she said softly:
"Doesn't the eldest sister think that as soon as the wine came out, the purpose of our sisters going to the hot spring holy water was all unconsciously forgotten?"
This has been said very clearly, except for Bai Cheng Yushang, who is still a little ignorant, and the other people present have understood.
Bai Yaozong stood up and said angrily: "The second girl of the palace family is so poisonous!" ”
Bai Hongjuan said again: "At that time, I was busy taking care of Yu'er, but the seventh sister, you followed the third sister to the Quange, why did you come ......?"
Bai Chishui opened a pair of slightly misty eyes, and replied with half shame and half annoyance:
"Then I was about to step out of the ear room that had been set up as a dressing room, after I had been dressed in a fragrant waiting, when suddenly I somehow became dizzy, and after a whirlwind I did not wake up, and when I woke up again, I was already on the bed in the guest room...... I'm really useless, if that would make my body more angry, I wouldn't have subjected the third sister to such foul language now......"
Bai Shijun sighed and said, "It's no wonder you ......"
Bai Qingting also said: "Yes, how can you blame the seventh sister?" It's just that my luck is not good, there are always some ghosts and ghosts who cause trouble for no reason! ”
Bai Shijun wanted to say something more, but at this time, a house slave came, saying that someone from Qiantangxuan in the middle courtyard said that the old lady and the old lady were invited! (To be continued.) )
