Chapter 288: Grief
Mama Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and helped the eldest princess up.
"Hasn't Po arrived yet?" The eldest princess asked, her eyebrows kind.
Mama Jiang's heart was as careful as dust, how could she not notice the apprehension in the eldest princess's voice, she smiled and said in a brisk tone: "It should be soon!" An old slave came back and said to the eldest princess that the eldest sister had taken a trip to southern Xinjiang and was a lot tougher, but the eldest princess still didn't believe it, so she waited for the eldest sister to come...... The eldest princess knew that the old slave was not lying. ”
The eldest princess smiled, although she had been extremely powerful over the years, her complexion was gentle, and her voice was extremely distressed: "I just don't know how much Ah Bao has suffered, that child has been the most bitter among all the brothers and sisters since he was a child." ”
"Now that the southern Xinjiang has returned, His Majesty has made the eldest sister the county lord, and the days will definitely get better and better in the future!" Mama Jiang helped the eldest princess out of the house.
Before Wei Zhong had time to say hello to the eldest princess, he saw that outside the open courtyard gate, Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi came slowly surrounded by their mother-in-law and maids.
"The eldest princess, the eldest girl has arrived!" Wei Zhongdao.
The eldest princess's hand hidden in her sleeve tightened slightly, grabbed the Buddha bead on her wrist, looked sideways in the direction of the door, her eyes turned red, and she instructed Wei Zhong: "Go and call Miss Lu over." ”
Wei Zhong said that he bowed his head and walked away.
As soon as Bai Qingyan entered the door with Bai Jinzhi, she saw the eldest princess standing under the corridor looking at her and Bai Jinzhi smiling.
After months of not seeing her, my grandmother looked thinner and more emaciated than before, and although her majesty had not changed, the plain and luxurious clothes on her body could no longer hide her increasingly rickety back.
It was the twilight years of Jiazi, and he experienced the loss of his husband...... The pain of losing children and grandchildren, even a dignified grandmother with excellent means, after experiencing great grief, will inevitably show fatigue and old age.
Bai Qingyan took Bai Jinzhi into the door and saluted the eldest princess: "Grandmother, we have come back safely." ”
"Well, it's good to be safe...... eldest princess's voice was as usual, as if there were tears hidden in the corners of her eyes, and she said kindly, "Come into the house, it's a little cold outside." ”
"Eldest sister, fourth sister, come into the house! Early this morning, the old slave asked people to boil red dates and milk tea, and the eldest sister and the fourth sister drank a cup to warm up their bodies. ”
Bai Jinzhi followed behind Bai Qingyan in a proper manner, looking up at Bai Qingyan as if waiting for Bai Qingyan's orders.
The former eldest princess could never have imagined that she would come to this point with her granddaughter who had been in pain since she was a child, she took Mama Jiang's hand and took the lead in turning around and entering the house, sitting on the turmeric cushion with passion flower pattern.
As soon as they entered the door, Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi wanted to kneel, and Mama Jiang hurriedly brought a futon.
Seeing the two granddaughters kneeling and kowtowing solemnly, the eldest princess's eyes were wet and red, and she smiled and asked Mama Jiang to help the two children up and sit down: "Ah Bao does look tough, how did Xiao Si become a black charcoal boy when he went out this time." ”
Bai Jinzhi had always been restrained in front of the eldest princess, and was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Yes! I also feel strange, obviously my eldest sister and I are both riding horses, why is the eldest sister still white and tender, just I am so tanned. ”
Mama Jiang covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, and when she saw Miss Lu coming in with red dates and milk tea, she ordered the servants and maids to stand down and let Wei Zhong guard outside.
Although Mama Jiang has not yet been introduced, Bai Qingyan already knows that the woman who is lowering her eyebrows and sleepy eyes to give her red dates and milk tea is Miss Lu, and she looked at her silently.
The eldest princess took off the Buddhist beads on her wrist and put them on the small black lacquer square table, picked up the red dates and milk tea and took a small sip: "This is Miss Lu, after the grandmother accepts the righteous daughter, you have to call her sister-in-law in terms of seniority." ”
Bai Qingyan looked at Miss Lu at this time, and saw that the woman was neither humble nor arrogant standing beside the eldest princess, she asked, "Is it like?" ”
Bai Suqiu's aunt died too early, Bai Qingyan was still young at that time, and she had almost no impression of her aunt, but as her aunt's biological mother, it was different, and her grandmother must be the most familiar and understanding of her aunt.
"Six or seven points for appearance, and the remaining three or four points can be made up for by dressing up and behaving in words and deeds." The eldest princess put down the azure sweet glazed porcelain teacup, "Mama Jiang is training these days, although the time is urgent, it also needs to be safe first." ”
The Bai family has been prosperous for more than 100 years, and now that the children and grandchildren are dead, only a group of female emperors are still not at ease, and King Liang still has plans, so the eldest princess must be more prudent and cautious, step by step.
Bai Jinzhi held milk tea in his hand, looking at Miss Lu with curiosity in his eyes, and couldn't quite understand what kind of dumb fans the eldest sister and grandmother were playing.
"Do you know how to heal?" Bai Qingyan asked Miss Lu when she said this.
Miss Lu was a little surprised, and after saluting Bai Qing, she said: "Back to the county lord, the ancestors of the people's daughter's mother studied medicine, so the people's daughter also knows a little bit about it." ”
No wonder my grandmother chose this Miss Lu.
If it weren't for the last resort, I'm afraid my grandmother wouldn't have taken this step.
"The granddaughter thinks that if His Majesty allows her grandmother to accept Miss Lu as her righteous daughter, she will let Miss Lu take care of her life by her grandmother's side, and the third sister ...... You can wait with me on the first day of the fifth month to return to Shuoyang. Bai Qingyan said.
It is said that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is better than stealing......
With such a "reincarnated Bai Suqiu" pointed out by Mama Jiang and the eldest princess, the emperor's heart will always be concerned here, and the autumn nobleman in the palace will definitely fall out of favor.
Naturally, after "Bai Jintong" returned to Shuoyang, he had to call it sick.
"Count the days, your fifth aunt should also launch ......" The eldest princess thought of the child in the belly of the fifth lady Qi family, she had high hopes for that child, hoping that this time the fifth lady Qi family could give birth to another son for the Bai family, at least leave a male for the Bai family, so ...... Po doesn't have to do that to support the lintel.
"The mother has prepared the midwifery and delivery room, Dr. Hong is also waiting at home, and the fifth aunt of the nurse personally picked two, and later discussed with the mother to feed the child herself." Bai Qingyan said.
She can understand the fifth aunt's desire to feed herself, which is the fifth uncle's widow and the only blood of the fifth aunt.
The eldest princess couldn't hide her sorrow, and seemed to nod: "Let your fifth aunt be!" ”
Mama Jiang originally wanted to leave Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi to have lunch at noon, but Bai Qingyan said: "No, I still have to go to Zhuangzi to see Ji Tingyu, after seeing Ji Tingyu, Xiaosi wants to go to the Guping Town Temple Fair to eat Baoxianglou and eat Baoxiang duck......." ”
mentioned that the eldest princess Ji Tingyu's lips moved, and the real reason for letting her granddaughter separate from her was because of the matter of dealing with Ji Tingyu.
She flicked the Buddhist beads wrapped around her hand, nodded with her eyes narrow, and instructed Mama Jiang: "Go and get five hundred taels of silver tickets for Ah Bao, and let Ah Bao bring them to Ji Tingyu." ”
