Chapter 291: The Bai Family
Princess An Cheng devoted herself to the Buddha and did not show up to greet everyone, even if anyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, they would never dare to deal with this Emperor Ming's own sister.
However, as a junior, it is indeed a very necessary etiquette to go to meet each other.
Therefore, as soon as they came out of the living room, the three sisters of the Xiao family, under the guidance of Bai Liu, walked towards Princess Cheng'an's courtyard, preparing to greet each other in person.
Although the four daughters came out of the living room together, Bai Liu and Xiao Jinyu were cousins, so they walked together and led the way in front.
And Xiao Jinwen and Xiao Jinxuan deliberately slowed down a little, followed them unhurriedly, and deliberately widened the distance between each other.
And after walking for a while, Xiao Jinwen said to Xiao Jinxuan in a soft voice:
"Sister, you go slowly, my cousin has something to tell you, after all, this is the first time you have seen Princess Cheng'an, and my sister feels that it is necessary to tell you the details of the other party."
Xiao Jinwen, as the eldest lady of the handsome mansion, is naturally indispensable to go out of the house to socialize.
Therefore, she is accurately familiar with the past experiences of each lady of the family, as well as the daughters of celebrities, as well as her temperament, which can help her communicate better with people without offending each other's taboos.
So for this Princess An Cheng, Xiao Jinwen naturally knows some of the other party's past experiences.
And be ready to tell Xiao Jinxuan that the meeting will be in the province, and it will be a taboo for Her Royal Highness the princess, which will cause the other party to be displeased, and it will be difficult to do it then.
For Xiao Jinwen's kindness, Xiao Jinxuan naturally accepted it happily.
And after the other party's narration, she learned that this Princess Cheng'an, although she is the sister of Emperor Ming, but this situation is really bumpy, and even makes people feel a little unfortunate.
It turned out that this princess Cheng'an was not going to marry Bai Dongyang, and the other party had been set up for a marriage as early as when the first emperor was alive.
It's just that Princess Cheng'an's fiancé was later killed because he participated in the rebellion of the Four Kings.
And Bai Dongyang is the husband chosen by Emperor Ming for her, if it weren't for the accident back then, she would not have married into the Huaguo Mansion at all.
As a royal princess, marrying the grandfather of the first country of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also a matching marriage in the eyes of outsiders, but Cheng An's misfortune has not ended.
After a few years of marriage, Cheng An became pregnant, but when she was about to give birth, she caught up with dystocia again.
She risked heavy bleeding to give birth to the child.
And this child is the eldest young master of the current Guogong Mansion and the future heir of Huaguo Gong, Bai Hang.
An Cheng gave birth to Bai Hang desperately because of dystocia, but his body was seriously damaged, and the imperial doctor in the palace made a diagnosis, and the other party could not get pregnant again in this life.
And this is a fatal blow for a woman. But physical damage is secondary.
What really made Xiao Jinxuan feel that this princess Cheng'an was too unfortunate was the other party's only biological son, and he also had an extremely bad attitude towards her, a mother who was pregnant in October.
Gu Xiao Jinwen said that because Cheng An was in a coma for seven days after childbirth, and then she had been lying in ** for half a year to regulate her body, so she had no time to take care of Bai Hang, who was still in swaddling clothes at the time.
Although in a large family, young children are taken care of by nursing mothers, but without the care of their biological mothers, it is not reassuring.
And at this moment, Mrs. Wu, who was just Bai Dongyang's concubine back then, automatically stood up and was willing to take on the burden of taking care of Bai Hang.
At that time, everyone felt that the Wu family was a **, and advised Bai Dongyang that he must not hand over his son-in-law to a concubine to take care of.
I am afraid that because of jealousy, the other party will have some evil thoughts in his heart, and he will assassinate Bai Hang in infancy.
But it wasn't until Bai Hang was more than a year old and after weaning that everyone was surprised to find that the Wu family really regarded the other party as their own and took care of each other.
Even she took care of her heart too much, causing Bai Hang to finally deny Cheng'an, her mother.
Therefore, the eldest son of the Bai family actually grew up by Mrs. Wu's side.
And because of this, the Wu family became a great hero of the Bai family, and with the approval of Bai Dongyang and Lao Taijun, he was promoted to the position of a flat wife.
And Princess Cheng'an has always been silent about this, after all, the other party also helped her take care of her biological child when she was in a worrying situation.
With this kindness, where does she still have a position to obstruct the Wu family's ascension.
Cheng An's attitude was acquiescing, although the royal family felt that the Guogong Mansion's move was a bit insulting to the majesty of the Heavenly Family.
But after all, the Wu family has merit, and Cheng An, who is the main room, does not care, but in the end, the matter is over, and all parties also recognize the identity of Mrs. Wu's wife.
After Xiao Jinwen finished telling everything, he still didn't forget to tell him cautiously at the end:
"Jinxuan, I have already told you all about Princess Cheng'an, and you must remember that Her Royal Highness the princess has a taboo, and she must not mention how harmonious the relationship between Bai Hang and Mrs. Wu is in front of her, otherwise even if this princess doesn't say it, she will be secretly annoyed in her heart."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan sighed with emotion, in fact, even if Xiao Jinwen didn't say it, she already knew what she could say and what she couldn't say.
After all, if it were her, her own son, but she had a deep relationship with a concubine and a mother and son, then she would definitely be upset and very distressed, this is human nature, and she still understands it.
And just when Xiao Jinxuan, under curiosity, wanted to ask Xiao Jinwen if the identity between the eldest young master of the Bai family, who has grown up, and Princess Cheng'an, is more relaxed.
Suddenly, I saw Bai Liu, who was walking in front, stopped, and turned to them with a smile and said:
"What are the two sisters talking about, beware of the road under your feet, it is difficult to walk on a snowy road in winter, if you bump into it, it will be a terrible thing."
Seeing that Bai Liu was looking at her, Xiao Jinxuan naturally put the words that came to her lips and put them back, and then said with a gentle smile:
"Zuo is just a few boring chatters, so why did Sister Bai stop moving, could it be that the princess's other courtyard has arrived."
Bai Liu smiled slightly, then pointed ahead, then shook his head and said:
"This is the back garden of our Guogong Mansion, and my mother's residence is still a long way away, but it's rare for my sisters to come over, so my sister wants to take you to see a wonder, and then we are continuing to hurry, and it's not too late to go to see my mother.
As soon as Bai Liu's words fell, Xiao Jinyu, who was standing with her, immediately nodded and said with a smile:
"Cousin is right, Jinxuan, you are the first time to come to the Guogong Mansion, so you may not know that there is a hot spring pool in this garden, even if it is a snowy winter, it will not freeze. And to this kind of cold day, the pool will rise curling heat, in which it seems to be in a fairyland, my sister rarely comes once, this scenery is a must-see. ”
Seeing that Bai Liu and Xiao Jinyu both took the initiative to invite each other like this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but be secretly vigilant in her heart.
After all, this is the realm of the Bai family, and if she is not careful, she will probably be calculated.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan wanted to refuse directly, but before she could say anything, she only heard a man's hearty laughter behind everyone.
"Sister Liu'er, I heard that the ladies of the Shuai Mansion today came to our Guogong Mansion at the invitation of her grandmother, you didn't help your mother entertain in front of you, why did you go to the Houhua yard to hide in the heavy snow, and then you were freezing out, not to mention that my brother didn't remind you."
As soon as these words fell, Xiao Jinxuan saw a dignified-looking noble son with handsome eyebrows, holding an oil umbrella to block snow in his hand, and walked over with a smile on his face.
And when she saw this noble son and the other person behind her, Xiao Jinxuan's originally smiling expression narrowed, and her eyes suddenly became cold, and the reason why she reacted so much was because this person turned out to be Ji Lingfeng.
And Bai Liu, who looked at this meeting again, had already greeted him with a smile on his face, and held the arm of the noble son very affectionately, and then said:
"My cousin and Miss Jinwen have both met my brother, and we all know each other. But I still have to introduce it to Sister Jinxuan. This is my brother-in-law Bai Hang, today my brother said that he would go out of the house to get together with his friends, but he didn't expect his brother-in-law to come back so early. ”
Immediately afterwards, Bai Liu pointed at Xiao Jinxuan again, and also introduced her identity to Bai Hang.
And I heard that the woman in front of me was wearing a purple begonia-colored mink cloak, her face was not outstanding, but her expression was extremely gentle.
It is now among the nobles of the Jingshi family, when Xiao Jinxuan, who everyone knows and is quite famous, Bai Hang's interest was obviously aroused.
Then he saw him cross the crowd, come to Xiao Jinxuan's side in a few steps, and look at the other party's slightly bowed face, he couldn't help but say a little frivolously:
"It turns out that you are the legendary Xiao Jinxuan, this son heard that you not only fell off the cliff and did not die, but also gathered the royal king who was not close to women under the pomegranate skirt, you are not a small girl, you are not small, it is even more than the top girl in Lichun Courtyard, and the means are even more important."
Princess Cheng'an injured her body because of dystocia, so it is impossible to give birth to a second child in this life, except for Bai Hang's child.
Therefore, Bai Hang is the only child in the entire Guogong Mansion, so he naturally grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth and put it in a honey pot, so this temperament is inevitably very prodigal, and he looks like an eleven son.
And the Lichun Courtyard in his mouth, which is the number one of the Jingshi family, compares Xiao Jinxuan, the daughter of a family, with the laughing woman inside.
It can be seen that this Bai Hang is not only ** Fengyue, but also extremely unruly, which really makes people bored when they see it.
But hearing that Xiao Jinxuan was so unbearable, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, she was extremely happy to see anything that could seriously hurt the other party.
And Xiao Jinwen, who was standing on the side, couldn't help it, whether it was because of her love with Xiao Jinxuan or for the face of the Shuai Mansion, Bai Hang's words made her angry, and her face immediately turned cold, and she was about to speak out.
But as soon as Xiao Jinwen stepped forward, Xiao Jinxuan's wrist was grabbed, and she shook her head and signaled her not to speak.
Then Xiao Jinxuan, who had been bowing her head slightly, and her expression was calm and gentle, she raised her head with a chuckle.
A pair of eyes looked directly at Bai Hang, but a trace of coldness flashed quickly in the depths of her eyes.
