Chapter 21: Persuasion
Under the explanation of Uncle Yongchun, Mrs. Yongchun reluctantly took Bai Suxin to the door of Bai Suru's courtyard.
Mrs. Yongchun Bo stroked her hair and said disdainfully: "If the person is inside, I won't go in." β
"Thank you, Mrs. Bo, for showing the way." Bai Suxin said respectfully.
Mrs. Yongchun Bo rolled her eyes, turned and walked away.
Qianqiu pursed her lips, and said in her heart, this Mrs. Yongchun is really not good, what kind of hospitality is this?
Although the Bai family is a little downtrodden now, it is not a small family, and it has not seen others come to the well, but this Mrs. Yongchun Bo does not take the Bai family seriously.
Bai Suxin didn't take Mrs. Yongchunbo's attitude to heart, so she strode into the courtyard.
Outside the door, Chunhua was sitting on the ground and sobbing secretly.
Qianqiu and Chunhua were familiar with each other, so they asked her, "Chunhua, what's wrong with you?" β
Chunhua wiped her tears and looked up at the comer.
She was stunned, why was the third girl here?
Even if he was in Yongchunbo's Mansion, Chunhua had already learned that the master would not let the second lady see the girl.
Why did the three girls appear in Bofu at this time?
"Three...... Three girls? Chunhua couldn't believe her eyes and said in surprise.
Bai Suxin sighed slowly, she saw Chunhua's doubts, and explained: "Father came with me, can the second sister be in the house?" β
Chunhua bowed her head astringently and said, "In ...... The girl was in the house. β
Qianqiu couldn't help but speak: "Boom...... Chunhua: What's wrong with you? I didn't think you were so stupid before. β
Bai Suxin ignored Mu Ne's Chunhua, and then pushed the door in.
Qianqiu pulled Chunhua outside the door and chatted.
Since the girl has something to say to the second girl, of course she has to pull Chunhua, otherwise what if this little girl goes into the house to make trouble?
Besides, she and Chunhua are already familiar with each other, so she took the opportunity to inquire about some things, so she could go back and tell the girl.
"Second sisterβ"
Bai Suxin glanced over and found that Bai Suru was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the roof.
Bai Suxin walked quickly to the bed, covered Bai Suru with a quilt, and sat on the edge of the bed.
At this time, Bai Suru's hair was scattered, her face was haggard, and her eyes were slightly red and swollen, and she looked like she had just cried.
Bai Suxin looked at the strangulation mark on Bai Suru's neck, and couldn't bear to say, "Second sister, why did you become like this?" Erniang will feel distressed when she finds out. β
Bai Suru suddenly came back to her senses, sat up eagerly, and arranged her hair in a panic.
"Is my mother here?" Bai Suru asked hurriedly.
Bai Suxin shook her head slightly and said, "Erniang didn't come, only my father and I came to see the second sister today." β
Bai Suru instantly returned to a state of starlessness, and muttered, "Didn't my father ignore me?" β
Bai Suxin frowned and looked at the haggard second sister in front of her, as if she was judging the cold second sister in her memory.
In her memory, although the second sister looked cold and didn't know how to hurt people, Bai Suxin never thought that the second sister would become so depressed one day.
Her second sister can only be cold and arrogant, and she must not be bullied.
"Second sister, my father still cares about you very much. Now that you are like this, don't you make your relatives bitter and enemies happy? β
Bai Suru seemed to be touched to the bottom of her heart, and tears gushed out instantly.
She no longer restrained herself, but hugged Bai Suxin and cried.
Bai Suxin gently stroked the second sister's back, never spoke, just silently accompanyed.
After a cup of tea, Bai Suru gradually suppressed her tears, and her eyes returned to clarity.
"Xin'er, what do you think I should do in the future?" Bai Suru asked with a crying voice.
Bai Suxin smiled, took out three sachets from his sleeves, and placed them in front of Bai Suru.
Bai Suru's face was full of surprise, and asked, "What does Xin'er mean by this?" β
"Since the second sister has used incense, I am afraid that she is also extremely sensitive to fragrance. These three sachets contain different kinds of spices, the red one is soothing incense, the green one is used to repel insects, and the blue one is used to ward off evil spirits. The second sister can carry it with her, and she may be able to use it. β
Bai Suru frowned slightly and looked at her fifteen-year-old sister in front of her, as if she felt that her sister had something to say, but she couldn't understand the meaning of the words for a while.
"Second sister, don't think too much, these are really just ordinary sachets, and there are not so many twists and turns. We are sisters, and if I have anything to say, I will tell my second sister directly. β
"What do you mean?" Bai Suru hesitated.
Bai Suxin smiled slightly, then shook Bai Suru's hand, and said, "Father is afraid that he will return to Beijing to take up his post in a short time, and the second sister came to see today to knock on the Yongchun Mansion." Fang Cai's father had deliberately mentioned the Que Xing Mansion in front of Yongchun Bo, and Yongchun Bo was still very jealous of the Que Xing Mansion. If the second sister has nothing to do, she can write a few more letters with the eldest sister, and she can also let the people in Yongchun Bofu see that the eldest sister still cares about the second sister very much. β
Bai Suru looked at her sister in surprise, why she couldn't figure out something, but her sister broke it in one sentence.
She never thought of relying on her eldest sister's power, and she always wanted to carry it alone when she encountered anything.
But in fact, as long as she and her eldest sister have a few letters from time to time, the people of Yongchun Bofu will not look down on her.
Bai Suru nodded with a wry smile and said, "I will." β
"After I return to Beijing, if I can see the eldest sister, I will also inform her about the second sister. They are all their own sisters, and the eldest sister will definitely not let go of the difficult situation of the second sister. β
"Thank you very much." Bai Suru said politely.
Bai Suxin smiled faintly and said, "Second sister is still so polite, but I'm afraid what I said can only last for a while." The brother-in-law is just the concubine of Yongchunbo, and Yongchunbo's position will definitely not be passed on to him. If the son-in-law succeeds to the position in the future, with the temperament of Mrs. Yongchunbo, the second sister's life may not be easy. β
Bai Suru sighed faintly and sneered, "Then what should I do?" β
"The second sister might as well persuade her brother-in-law and let him have a plan to enter Beijing."
Bai Suru shook his head and said: "He has no intention of conducting scientific research, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a suitable livelihood even if he enters Beijing." β
"Second sister, haven't you forgotten what the status of the Que Ying Mansion is. As long as the brother-in-law has the heart, it is not difficult to get an official position in Beijing. β
Bai Suru was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt enlightened.
Yes, in addition to participating in scientific examinations, being an official in the capital can also be recommended by acquaintances.
Although her husband is only the son of Yongchun, her eldest sister is the wife of the eldest son of the Que Ying Mansion, and the people in the capital will definitely give the Que Ying Mansion this face.
"It's just ......," Bai Suru was still a little hesitant, "I'm afraid he won't be willing to rely on the Que Ying Mansion." β
Bai Suru's concerns are not superfluous, for a man, relying on his wife to be an official is a very spineless thing.
Not to mention the husband's family who relies on his wife and sister, it is even more humiliating.
"Even if he doesn't go through the Que Ying Mansion, the second brother-in-law has a way to make a living. Maybe you can also let the second brother-in-law go to the capital to do a small business or something, but it's not impossible. β
Bai Suru's face gradually regained her luster and showed a shallow smile.
"What I said is very true, I will consider it. In the future, I will definitely take it well. β
