Chapter 36: Evil Thoughts in the Heart
Ji Lingyun fell dizzy this time. Zhao Shengtian's roar came from his ears, and he had the heart to run away, but he was sore and weak. Seeing that the big hands were about to grab him, there was a scolding at the last moment.
"What are you doing!"
A pair of slender and white hands gently picked it up, Ji Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately nestled softly in Bai Yanran's arms. Su Xin stood in front with her waist crossed, glaring at Zhao Shengtian angrily. Zhao Shengtian subconsciously shrank his head, and then reacted with a pain on his face, and suddenly had confidence, and muttered a scoundrel: "It turns out that this is your cat, and I haven't gone to look for you yet." This beast has scratched my face like this, and I can't get angry yet, so you have to pay for my medical expenses. ”
Su Xin said: "Xiaohua is the most well-behaved on weekdays, if you don't provoke it first, how can it take care of you." Let me tell you, if Xiaohua has three long and two short, you don't have a good fruit to eat! ”
Well-behaved Ji Lingyun: "......"
When Ji Lingyun heard this, he immediately let out a pitiful "whining" sound, which caused Bai Yanran to soothe him, and Ji Lingyun couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Zhao Shengtian also knew that he was not light just now, for fear that this little milk cat would not help but fall to death, and he would be in trouble, so he scolded and left.
Su Xinxin hummed behind him: "What kind of people are these, they are really with Aunt Zhao's family, they are all quite unreasonable people." ”
Ji Lingyun was carried back to Qiufan Courtyard by Bai Yanran, pity it for being injured again, afraid that it would not stay in her own nest, Bai Yanran simply put it on her bed. He also asked Su Xin to bring half a bowl of fish fillet porridge and fed it spoonful by spoonful.
Ji Lingyun enjoyed Bai Yanran's care with peace of mind, worked all night, and slept peacefully after eating and drinking.
Coaxed the kitten to sleep, Bai Yanran put down the gauze tent and went outside, and Su Xin, who had hesitated for a long time, then spoke, and said: "Miss, the old man and the lady are arguing again, and the lady doesn't need to have a breakfast, the mother-in-law over there in Zhaohe Courtyard asked you to go over and persuade you." ”
Bai Yanran said: "But because of my marriage? ”
Su Xin nodded, pouted, and said, "Grandma knows the importance of this time, and she will no longer mention the matter of Miss Na as a concubine." The old man was bent on marrying his cousin and young master, so if he was willing to give up, wouldn't he quarrel with his wife again. ”
As she spoke, she looked at Bai Yanran's expression, and said tentatively: "Actually, the young master must not know about these cousins made by my aunt and grandmother, and now my aunt and grandmother don't dare to interfere indiscriminately, and the master has also put out this thought." When the young master comes back, it is better for the young lady to talk to him and say, maybe there is still room for a circle. ”
Bai Yanran's expression was calm, and she shook her head and said, "My aunt didn't like me before, and after this incident, I must be even more suspicious in my heart." If I get married, my aunt will be my mother-in-law, and I will get along day and night in the future. Even if I can talk to my cousin this time, will it be like this every time in the future? ”
Su Xin said anxiously: "But after all, the person Miss wants to marry is Young Master Cousin, and Young Master Cousin is also single-minded to Miss, just because these people push such a satisfactory marriage, it is always not worth it." ”
Bai Yanran lowered her eyes silently, she didn't know, but after all, there was a knot in her heart that was difficult to let go. She knew that she was actually resenting Song Shiyang in her previous life, hating his credulity and permissiveness, and shattering her previous affection for him little by little, and she couldn't completely forgive him in this life.
"Satisfaction may not be satisfactory. Father's side, you go and spread the word to the Tang family and the Yang family to persuade more, as for this marriage...... Let's see how the creation is in the future. ”
Su Xin saw Bai Yanran's depressed expression, so she hurriedly changed her head and said, "Didn't Miss Biao make an appointment with Miss to listen to the play in the afternoon, and Miss hasn't picked which clothes to wear." ”
said that after Bai Yanran and the others left, Zhao Shengtian thought that he was unlucky and returned to Huixin Courtyard, but he happened to bump into Bai Zonglin who was wandering at the door, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Unexpectedly, Bai Zonglin turned around and left as soon as he saw him, but Zhao Shengtian immediately chased after him.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you go slowly, wait for me!"
Bai Zonglin originally wanted to talk to Aunt Zhao about Bai Yueyu, but when he arrived at the gate of Huixin Courtyard, he didn't want to go in, so he saw Zhao Shengtian just as he was hesitating.
Aunt Zhao has been married to the Bai family for so many years, and the two are relatives, and Bai Zonglin also knows what this Zhao Shengtian is like, so he has avoided him for the past few days, but he still caught him.
It is said that the two are also close to each other, Bai Zonglin is not good at putting on a fight, so he has to turn around and deal with it: "It turned out to be Sheng Tian, what's the matter, find me something?" ”
I didn't want Zhao Shengtian's two voices just now to even be heard by the people in the yard, Gu's mother saw through the crack in the door that it was really the master, and immediately went to tell Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao was also overjoyed, and she didn't care that she was still sitting in Xiaoyuezi, so she let Gu's mother come out.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, the eyes met, and Aunt Zhao's tears fell.
"The master is finally willing to come to see the concubine, I still think that the master thinks I am old and yellow, and I have completely disliked the concubine."
When Bai Zonglin saw her like this, his heart softened for three points, and he said helplessly: "You haven't raised your body yet, what are you doing here." ”
Aunt Zhao cried so much that she was not aggrieved, "If the concubine can't see the master, how can she take care of her body with peace of mind." I just hope that the old man will remember the past feelings, and come to see the concubine body more, and the concubine body will be content. ”
These days, Aunt Zhao has figured it out, Yu'er is useless, and now the child's hope is gone, and the only thing they can rely on is the master, so she has tried her best to regain the master's favor.
For so many years, Aunt Zhao has long figured out Bai Zonglin's weakness, he is a person who misses the old love, otherwise he would not have helped the Bai family for so many years because of a little affection in his childhood. So Aunt Zhao only mentioned the miscarriage at the moment, and only talked about the past feelings, just to make him remember his good past.
Zhao Shengtian muttered at this end: "Brother-in-law, you were a beggar to let my sister enter the door." It's good now, if you have a new love, you forget the old people, and you don't even care if my sister has a miscarriage that was killed, I must ask for an explanation for this! ”
The last thing Bai Zonglin wanted to mention at this time was Zhao's birth, how much hope he had originally poured into this child, but now how angry he was, not to mention that Zhao Shengtian was still asking for an explanation.
Aunt Zhao knew something was wrong when she heard it, and she was busy giving her brother a look, but Zhao Shengtian still cared about her, and only thought that she had finally found a place to get money.
Bai Zonglin suppressed his anger and asked, "How do you want to ask for an explanation?" ”
Zhao Shengtian thought that he had hit the luck, and immediately stretched out five fingers and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, after all, it's all a family, as long as you give enough money, brother-in-law, I will treat it as if nothing happened." ”
Only then did Bai Zonglin know that he had this idea, and he was suddenly even more angry, and shouted loudly: "Come on, drag him out for me, and don't set foot in the house again!" ”
Aunt Zhao's face was also ugly and tight, although she also complained about her brother for stirring up the situation, but in the end, she still felt sorry for this younger brother who had never suffered since he was a child, and had the heart to speak for him.
"Master, Sheng Tian is just in a hurry......"
Bai Zonglin didn't listen to her anymore and walked away.
Zhao Shengtian was thrown out of Baifu again, now he finally recognized the current situation, it seems that his sister is really out of favor now, unreliable, what can I do?
Gu's mother sneaked out of the back door, reluctantly took out a purse and handed it over, Zhao Shengtian hurriedly grabbed it, but when she opened it, she turned angry and blackened.
"Just a few ingots of broken silver, you are sending them to call Hanako!"
Gu's mother's face was darker than his, and she said coldly: "Our aunt doesn't have enough money now, and that's all there is now, you can find a place to live with it first, and wait for our aunt's letter." ”
Anyway, no matter what Zhao Shengtian was still muttering in his mouth, he turned around and went in. Zhao Shengtian put away the money bag and scolded and left, tossing until this time he was also hungry, in the end, he didn't have much silver in his arms, so he casually found a small shop and asked for a bowl of noodles.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw an acquaintance, who was the Bai family who led the people to buy. This Bai family wears gold and silver, obviously the wife of a large family, and the money bag taken out by the mother-in-law next to him is heavy at a glance, and the carriage in which several people are sitting is even more magnificent.
Zhao Shengtian remembered that he had heard people talk about it in the Bai family before, this Bai family was a widow, and her only son happened to be not at home, so she was not the only old woman left in the big house. He couldn't help but feel a little itchy when he thought about it, and he couldn't care about eating, so he followed Bai's carriage all the way to the Song Mansion.
Dangling around the Song Mansion twice, there is a crooked neck tree outside the back wall, and you can jump into it by stepping on it twice. Zhao Shengtian stepped on it a little bit, and waited to go in at night to see if he could touch something valuable while it was dark. He often does this kind of petty theft, and he is very familiar with it.
Zhao Shengtian turned his head and came out of the alley of the Song Mansion, and saw the cat in the morning flashing by on the street again..., and he thought he was dazzled.
It turned out that Ji Lingyun happened to wake up when Bai Yanran was packing up and preparing to go out, and he was thinking about how to go to the Prince's Mansion, when he heard that Bai Yanran was going to a nearby theater, he wanted to follow.
Ji Lingyun used all fours, his nails were all hung with Bai Yanran's clothes, and he looked pitiful and afraid of being left behind.
Bai Yanran was also afraid that she would leave it alone at home and run around by herself, so she took him with her. But she didn't want the carriage to go halfway, and the cat in her arms suddenly jumped out, and she was so startled that she hurriedly stopped the car and chased after her.
Ji Lingyun was very familiar with the road of the Prince's Mansion, and ran from the lively market to the silent Prince's Mansion in a few clicks, walked around the corner of the wall for half a circle and successfully got into a dog hole. As soon as he entered, he went straight to the study, and a cat did not guard against him, but actually let it go straight into the study.
Ji Lingyun expected it to be good, at this time Ji Chengyu was in the study to deal with business, but a little milk cat suddenly jumped in from the window. Before he could react, the cat jumped on the desk by himself, and there were a few more muddy footprints on the words he had just written.
