Chapter 103: Qingyun, showing your feet
"Well, that aunt is a versatile person, good at singing and dancing, proficient in needlework, and loves to dress up. Except for her family, which is not as good as Wan's mother's family, Wan's is inferior to her in other aspects. ”
"Listening to you say this, she is still a concubine with a relatively high status at home?"
"It's not. My uncle saved her after marrying her to the family. It didn't take long. The concubine is a cow, and Uncle Xing's cousin^ gradually cares about her. A lot of the time. She and her aunt
In the memory left to her by the original owner, the situation in Baifu is almost like this.
Bai Jiaojiao told Zhou Shiling the truth.
Zhou Shiling sighed softly and said, "That cousin of yours was educated by your aunt, and I heard those female spies say that your cousin is not as charming as Bai Qingyun, but her heart is also very high." In front of the second prince, he dared to throw a warm look......"
After saying that, Zhou Shiling suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly explained: "She is very enthusiastic about the second prince, and the second prince has not said anything to her." ”
Bai Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Sister, why do you have to explain carefully? I don't like the second prince, I don't care if he says anything to anyone. ”
Zhou Shiling smiled awkwardly and said.
"Well, I didn't mean to say that. I just want to say that even if the Xiang clan can marry your uncle as he wishes in the future, he will become another concubine of your uncle. But the child born to the Xiang family is still raised by your aunt's mother-in-law. Your aunt didn't teach Bai Qingyun's two sisters well, but Xiang's children, she can teach them well? ”
"That child, even if it is left to Xiang's education, it may not be able to let Xiang's teach well." Bai Jiaojiao smiled sarcastically and said.
Although she hates Wan's aunt, her uncle's good looks Xiang are definitely not much better. Wan's is no longer good, but Wan's is self-clean, and he doesn't go out to find other members of the opposite sex when the man is not at home.
But Xiang's is different, they are clearly married to Guo Xiaochi, and they are still restless, and they don't know self-love and self-respect.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiang's child was innocent, then in this time and space, no one would persuade anyone to dispose of the child. Then when she knew that Sister Su Xi was going to help Xiang's family, she wouldn't let Sister Su Xi help.
"Yes, the Xiang clan himself is not self-respecting enough, who can teach well?" Zhou Shiling's eyes crossed with a trace of contempt, and said: "In my opinion, the people of the Guo family must know that Xiang is pregnant, so they have to ask clearly, whose child is her?" Most of the Xiang clan was driven out to find your aunt and them. She must want to talk about things as a child, so that she can live in Baifu first. But she didn't think that what she was waiting for was her and the child in her womb, who were almost killed by your aunt with medicinal powder......"
The corners of Bai Jiaojiao's lips curled up with a touch of mockery, and said, "In this matter, the Xiang family is at fault, and my aunt and my cousin are also at fault." But I don't sympathize with Xiang's, she is so scummy in order to be a concubine for my uncle, and her character is really flattering. ”
In her opinion, Xiang's must want to give birth to the child, but the people of Xiang's in-laws are not allowed to give birth to Xiang. Because of this, Xiang ran away.
Xiang's keeping of the child was nothing more than to use this as a condition, so that her uncle Bai Ximing would marry Xiang after his triumphant return.
Her aunt Wan and her cousin Bai Qingyun are not fuel-efficient lamps.
If the Xiang family does not leave the imperial city and wants to give birth to the child, I am afraid it will be difficult. What's more, Wan had already told Bai Qingyun to ask Bai Qingyun to go to her aunt for help so that she could find Xiang.
Presumably, the Wan family must be sure in his heart that he can let Bai Qingyun's aunt find Xiang's.
In Bai Jiaojiao's memory, there was no information related to those relatives of the Wan family, and it was not convenient to inquire with Zhou Shiling at this time, for fear that Zhou Shiling would suspect her identity.
It stands to reason that the Wan family is a member of the Bai family, and in any case, Bai Jiaojiao should not have no impression of those relatives of the Wan family at all.
But after all, she is not the original Bai Jiaojiao, and she doesn't know the answer to this matter.
She thought that Xiang was pregnant with a child in her belly, and she must not ride a fast horse to hurry, otherwise it would not be good for the child. In this imperial city, the Xiang clan should not have any relatives and friends to rely on.
During this time, Xiang wanted to escape, but he couldn't escape far.
Because now the people of various counties are actively supporting the war in the northern Xinjiang. The guards guarded the city gate very strictly, and it was difficult for an ordinary person to leave the imperial city.
Bai Jiaojiao looked at Zhou Shiling, only to see Zhou Shiling sewing clothes carefully, and asked softly, "Sister, is Xiang's maiden home far from the imperial city?" ”
"Far away." When Zhou Shiling was talking, she still didn't stop sewing clothes, and told Bai Jiaojiao: "The Xiang family is a person from the south, and like Bai Qingyun's mother, they are all from the land of Shengjun. The Xiang clan is just not as good as the Wan clan......"
Bai Jiaojiao only knew that the Wan family had a father who was the pavilion chief, but she didn't know what other aspects Sister Shiling said about Wan's good life. He tentatively asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Zhou Shiling smiled softly and said, "Sister, you see, you are asking this as if you don't know much about Wan's affairs. Then sister, I'll tell you about it. ”
Bai Jiaojiao's face was a little embarrassed, "Wan's treats me badly, so I don't care much about her relatives." But this time is different, I want to know about the situation on her mother's side, and there are some things, so I want to ask my sister about them. ”
"I already knew that, that's what you thought." Zhou Shiling said to Bai Jiaojiao: "The Wan family has a father who is a pavilion chief, an eldest sister who is the general's wife, and a younger brother who is the master. ”
Bai Jiaojiao heard this and nodded slightly. I just thought in my heart that Wan's sister and brother are doing well.
She put Wan in prison and squatted, presumably Wan's sister and brother also knew about it, right? They all know that the next step will almost be to help the Wan family to trap her?
Although the lord is not a big official, he has some opportunities to deal with people with heads and faces. If Wan's younger brother came to harm her, it would not be difficult.
Moreover, Wan's sister is the general's wife, and Wan's brother-in-law must still be fighting in northern Xinjiang. In a few days, she can also go to northern Xinjiang.
When I arrived in northern Xinjiang, I would inevitably meet Wan's brother-in-law. At that time, if Wan's brother-in-law asks anything, she will definitely be able to answer truthfully.
ZHOU SHILING'S WORDS REACHED BAI JIAOJIAO'S EARS: "XIANG'S FATHER IS A WELL-KNOWN GAMBLER IN SHENGJUN, AND HE IS ALSO VERY UNLUCKY. The local villagers gave him a nickname: 'Katsuro'. His real surname is Xiang, and many people will call him Xiang Shenglang......"
Not long after Xiang Shenglang got married, he gambled again, as before. As a result, DU was too big and SHU was too much, so I had to sell my family's land and house and go into debt.
Xiang Shenglang's daughter-in-law was determined not to live with him again, but she couldn't beat him, so she had to wait until Xiang Shenglang went out, and only collected two old clothes and fled.
"When your brother-in-law and I went to Shengjun and led a group of people to dredge the river, I heard from the local people that Xiang Shenglang's wife went to the room to see her daughter who had only been in the moon for a long time before she escaped. But as soon as she saw it, her daughter cried, and she was afraid that if her daughter cried, she would be discovered by Xiang Shenglang. So after quickly coaxing the child, he hurriedly escaped. ”
"She left that time and never went back." Zhou Shiling said to Bai Jiaojiao.
Bai Jiaojiao smiled knowingly, knowing that the child Zhou Shiling said was the Xiang family who was now married to Guo Xiaochi, but was pregnant with someone else's child, and had fled to now.
"It seems that Xiang is Xiang Shenglang's only child?" Bai Jiaojiao asked.
Like Xiang Shenglang, a loser and short-tempered person, who will beat his daughter-in-law at every turn, whose girl is so bold that she dares to marry him?
Zhou Shiling smiled sarcastically, "That's for sure." Xiang Shenglang, who has a bad character, married a daughter-in-law, and didn't live a good life, so he had to scatter his family. Who would dare to go to him, you say? ”
"No one would dare."
Bai Jiaojiao said.
Zhou Shiling told Bai Jiaojiao some of the things she heard when she went to Shengjun before.
"At that time, I also heard from the local villagers that after his wife left, Xiang Shenglang took their daughter, who was not long after the full moon, and put her under the willow tree at the entrance of the village. Some people say that he is waiting for a well-wisher to take the child away because he can't afford to raise a child. Some people also said that he deliberately showed it to his daughter-in-law, so that his daughter-in-law could come back and live with him. ”
"No matter what it is for, you can't torture the child." Bai Jiaojiao looked resentful and said her opinion.
"Who's to say it isn't?" Zhou Shiling shook her head helplessly and said, "Speaking of which, the Xiang family was really miserable when he was a child. was first carried by her father to the willow tree, crying hungry, and was found by others, so she ran to find the patriarch of the Xiang clan and hugged her back. The patriarch said to Xiang Shenglang that if he dared to abandon the child in the future, he would be expelled from the clan. Xiang Shenglang was frightened, so he didn't dare to do it again
Lost the child. ”
After Bai Jiaojiao heard this, she despised Xiang's father, Xiang Shenglang, in her heart. said: "People like Xiang Shenglang, even if they exterminate him, they should also be expelled from the clan." ”
"It's strange to say that Xiang Shenglang fell seriously ill when he was almost forty years old. Xiang Shi looked around for someone to borrow money for her father's treatment, but her father owed too much money outside, and his credibility was too low, so no one dared to lend her money. The people of the Xiang clan saw that her father was pitiful, and made up some medical expenses for them, but it was still far from enough......"
In that case, someone proposed that as long as Xiang married him as a concubine, he kept Qian Xiang and asked her to heal her father.
The person who proposed to take Xiang as a concubine was a local rich man who had a wife and six or seven concubines. When Xiang heard this, he was reluctant and immediately refused.
In order to make money, Xiang went to the willow tree at the entrance of the village to set up a stall to sell herbal tea. happened to Guo Xiaochi and his entourage passing by, and Xiang Shi saw Guo Xiaochi, who was walking in the front, in the wind, still wearing armor, and knew that the other party had a fortune to receive, and he was very excited.
He had a plan, and when Guo Xiaochi and his party were about to arrive at the entrance of the village, they immediately bit their fingers and wrote a blood book. The idea was to raise money for her father's healing, and if any kind person was willing to help, she was willing to serve her benefactor for the rest of her life.
Guo Xiaochi saw that Xiang's was pitiful, and enjoyed thirty taels of silver to help Xiang's, and did not ask her to reciprocate.
But where did the Xiang family give up such an opportunity? After she sent the money home, she hurriedly helped her father hire Lang Zhong, grabbed the medicine, and asked around for people, where did the military men who came to help dredge the river live?
The villagers thought that Xiang was going to repay the favor, so they generously told her that the soldiers were all by the river and built a big cowhide tent.
As soon as Xiang Shi learned the news, he rushed to the river, found Guo Xiaochi, and cried and begged him to take her away.
In this way, Guo Xiaochi took the Xiang family back to the imperial city, fulfilled her wish, and married her.
But who would have thought that Xiang was restless, and when Guo Xiaochi was not at home, he got along with Bai Ximing.
Xiang's is a married woman, and Bai Ximing is entangled with a married husband. Not to mention Bai Ximing's wife Wan, even if other women encounter this kind of thing, they will definitely not let Xiang have a good life.
It's just that Xiang's father was originally misbehaved, and only Xiang's daughter could rely on. Now the Xiang family himself has fled, if Xiang's father can't go on, he will find the people of the Bai family to settle accounts.
