Longevity chart
"It seems that the eldest lady has put a lot of thought into pleasing the master," the nurse beside Bai Su looked at the master's demeanor and then looked at the longevity chart on the table and said cautiously, afraid that she would make the master angry if she said a word.
The longevity picture is carefully outlined, and it can be seen at a glance that this is a fine product, and now it falls into the hands of the lady I don't know what to do, but it's a pity that this good embroidery.
"What if you put your heart into it, my father can't see this thing," Bai Su sneered, touching the fabric underneath, and carefully describing the literature and science on it, she could almost think of how Cheng Wan's woman sketched it stitch by stitch, but she wouldn't let it see the light, "This eldest lady's mind is still in vain." β
"Yes, yes, the young lady is really a trick," the nurse lowered her head and said with a flattering smile, clasping her hands tightly behind her back, listening carefully to the master's words, I am afraid that the eldest lady is dead, and I don't know what I gave my father will never be able to send there.
Bai Yun sat on it with a relaxed expression on his face, lying there lazily, looking at the agate gems on his slender fingers, and lowered his eyes and said: "Cheng Wan doesn't die for a day, I can't have a good day, I think when Cheng Wan didn't insist on marrying Qin Shizi, the one in the family didn't hold her, but now it's okay, she was divorced by Qin Guogong, and she is going to come back, I was not less angry with this sister-in-law at the beginning, how could she come back if she wanted to... Oh, if she comes back, will there be a place for my father-in-law? β
Now that everyone is dead, why not just order it, leave an embroidery for her father, everyone is gone, it is difficult for the Cheng family to help her raise her children, now the embroidery can't be sent to her father, her mind is also in vain, her two children still ask for more blessings, the Cheng family has no time to take care of them.
"Burn this embroidery,"
Bai Su threw the embroidery on the table on the ground, as the so-called out of sight and out of mind, keeping her things was just to find herself unhappy.
"Yes," the maid who was white and white stepped forward to pick up the embroidery on the ground and walked towards the back door.
Bai Su took a sip of tea, looked at her back, and added, "Be sure to burn it clean." β
"Yes."
The maid walked out of the door with the longevity map, Bai Su looked at the time, it was almost now, and the minister was about to return from the Ministry of Works.
There are only Cheng Yuan and Cheng Wan in the Cheng family, Cheng Wan has two children, Cheng's father is profitable, and he is not obsessed with women, and there are many beauties sent by the petty officials who are attached to the Cheng family in order to please him. Cheng's father has always refused to come to women sent by others, so Cheng's father's backyard is the most beautiful woman. However, it is strange to say that Cheng's father has a group of wives and concubines, but only the main wife has two children, especially Cheng Wan, because she has been cute since she was a child, even Cheng's father, a person with weak feelings, can't help but be pampered a little, and her brother Cheng Yuan naturally doesn't have this good luck.
Cheng Yuan is the only heir of Cheng's father, although Cheng's father looks down on his son's cowardice and incompetence, but he has no choice but to have the stomachs of the other aunts in his backyard, and there is only this one heir. In order to sharpen him, Cheng's father bought him an official and a half-job in the Ministry of Industry through personal relations. Helplessly, this child still hasn't grown up, and he has been a waiter in the Ministry of Industry for seven years, and other people at the same level as him have climbed to the position of Shangshu, and he still stays in that position. Angry, he considered whether to pass on his brother's children, but as soon as he heard about Qin Sinian's various deeds of his grandson, now his brother's children's eyes have changed, and they are not as good as my grandson!
Helplessly, the relationship between himself and his daughter Wan'er was broken clean because he said those words in a fit of anger more than ten years ago, and he has not regretted it for more than ten years, but he can't pull his face to look at his daughter and grandson. His daughter and grandson had never seen him, and he knew that his daughter had taken what she had said to heart, and their relationship was stranded.
A few days ago, Cheng's mother went to see her daughter, he didn't know, but after he came back, he had a big quarrel with him and wanted to take Wan'er back, although he had also moved this thought before, and because of this matter, he couldn't pull it down, so he had to continue to postpone the discussion.

"What did you say?" Father Cheng sat on a pear blossom chair and listened to the report of the minions below.
"Young lady, I just took the things from the butler," said an old servant who walked in from the door with a low brow and a slight bow.
"Who told you this?" Father Cheng was stunned at first when he heard the news, then frowned, lightly buttoned his fingers on the table a few times, and asked after pondering for a while.
He didn't believe that there was no cat behind him, the lowly person was an old man who followed him, how could it be possible to tell him about this today and there was no one behind him? Although most of this news is true, he still doesn't like the feeling of being calculated, which is annoying. Father Cheng blew on the cup of tea in his hand, and his eyes were all staring at the old slave kneeling on the ground.
"The master has tormented me, how can I have any ability, this is all said by the one in the back, it's just not good to tell you, just pass me on the news." After speaking, the slave on the ground looked at Cheng's father's face and found that his complexion had softened, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Father Cheng pondered for a moment, as if he thought of something, and looked at the kneeling old slave below with his eyes and said, "What else did Madam explain?" He didn't believe that she had only told him that.
As soon as the lowly person heard this, his whole heart was lifted, and his whole body trembled continuously, and finally he raised his head to look at his face, and then lowered his head in a mosquito-like voice, "Madame didn't explain anything, but Madame and the slave beside Madame said that the thing was made by the little lady with a lot of effort......"
"This ......" Cheng's father squinted, clasped his fingers and tapped on the tabletop, looking thoughtfully into the distance.
"You say...... Wan'er, what did she leave behind..."
As soon as the low-eyed old slave heard Cheng's father's words, he naturally knew that it was time for him to speak, only to see him smile flatteringly: "Miss Wan'er, you have always been filial, and the things you send are naturally thoughtful, and they are the best." β
"It's a pity, some people in the house are stretching their hands too long..."
Father Cheng sighed, slowly put down the cup of cold tea in his hand, stood up, walked a few steps, and found that the person behind him didn't move at all, and added, "Don't kneel, go to the play with me..."
"Chirpβ" He naturally knew what the play Cheng's father was talking about, and he also knew what the purpose of this trip was, and the young lady's good days in Cheng's Mansion were probably coming to an end...
Along the path, to the garden, then turn right and walk for half an hour to arrive at the Yinlan Residence where Bai Kun is located, across the distance, he can see that the exquisite small courtyard door is inlaid with golden silk nanmu, which looks very noble.
Cheng's father's eyes darkened, although the Cheng family is one of the five great families and has a rich foundation, but as the head of the family, he knows that His Majesty is jealous of the strength of the family, in order to avoid its edge, the Cheng family has been diligent and thrifty for more than ten years, and now everything his good daughter-in-law is doing is slapping him in the face.
He is now a little skeptical that he had lost his eyes when he chose this daughter-in-law for his son, how could such a stupid woman marry into a family.
Cheng's father walked to the door, the door was a little crack, you can vaguely see the layout inside, Cheng's father stood there and paused, slowly pushed open the door, the door made a "squeak" sound, the maid who had been guarding the door heard this sound, looked back, and found that Cheng's father was standing at the door, looking at her with a faint look.
The maid was shocked and stunned by Cheng's father's eyes, and was about to salute when she came back to her senses, but when she saw Cheng's father make a gesture, she stopped saluting and stood there awkwardly.
"Is the young lady in there?" Father Cheng asked lightly, these words made people not see joy, anger and sorrow.
The maid nodded slightly when she heard this, "The young lady is here." β
After getting the answer, Cheng's father walked straight to the front, and the maid saw that Cheng's father was gone, and the big stone in her heart was still there, she felt that something was about to happen, so she hurriedly trotted to the house to report.
"What is this, frizzy..."Although Bai Su saw the maid come in, because she was in a good mood at this time, she did not punish her.
"Young lady, it's not good," the maid lowered her head and suppressed her voice, "The master is here." β
Bai Yun's hand playing with the flower branch paused slightly, the willow eyebrows frowned, stared at the maid beside him with blazing eyes, and muttered for a while, "What is my father doing?"
After speaking, Bai Kun glanced at the maid who had just taken the painting out, and the maid saw that Bai Kun's gaze was a little evasive, but she nodded, indicating that the thing had been dealt with.
Bai Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, just deal with it, she was afraid that her father came to embroider at this time. It's also strange to say, her father just got Cheng Wan's embroidery hind foot, what kind of role the housekeeper plays, it's hard to say...
Bai Su squinted her eyes slightly, a trace of edge crossed her eyes, she got up and stood up, the edge under her eyes disappeared without a trace, replaced by a smile, I saw her purse her lips and said: "Father, here, naturally I want to be entertained." β
Everyone didn't answer, silently followed behind her, Bai Kun walked to the living room and saw Cheng's father living on the main seat, Bai Kun stepped forward and saluted, but he didn't hear Cheng's father let her get up for a long time.
Bai Kun's heart gradually rose up, and he knelt on the ground without speaking.
After a long time, she heard Cheng's father speak, "Where did you put Wan'er's things?"
Bai Yun was stunned, her heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, it seemed that her father knew everything she had done, but she couldn't recognize it at the moment, if she recognized it in the Cheng family, she was afraid that her face would be lost.
"Father, what are you talking about, my daughter-in-law still doesn't understand..."Bai Su endured the anxiety in his heart and said with a smile.
Father Cheng above didn't seem to hear what she said, knocked on the table a few times with his clasped hand, pondered for a moment, looked at Bai Wei below, and said, "How has the Cheng family treated you in the past few years?"
Bai Yun's figure couldn't help but pause, she didn't seem to understand what Father Cheng meant, didn't he come to check that thing? Why ask this inexplicable question?
"The Cheng family treats me very well, my father is kind, my mother is kind, my husband is gentle... Treat me very well," Bai Yu pondered for a while, looked at the faces of the people above, and said cautiously.
