Chapter 32: A vinegar cat
Qi Shuheng's words fell, and the atmosphere between the two fell silent for a while. Seeing Qi Shuheng's bitter smile, Bai Yanran sighed in her heart and said, "Cousin Yu Yanran is a relative, Yanran has never thought about anything else, I hope it will be the case in the future." ”
Qi Shuheng was completely dead at this time, he was silent for a moment, and said with a forced smile: "That's natural, no matter what, the brother-sister affection between us will not change." ”
Then he lowered his head and said: "The hour when I come out is not short, so I will go back first, you ...... I cherish my own life. ”
Bai Yanran smiled and bowed her head, but did not keep it.
Looking at Qi Shuheng's dejected back, Ji Lingyun's proud sweet paws immediately snorted in disgust.
Qi Simin walked over and asked, "What are you talking about?" Why did my cousin leave all of a sudden? ”
Bai Yanran shook her head and didn't answer, but said, "Xu suddenly remembered that there was something urgent." Let's go too, don't keep my grandmother waiting. ”
The two went to Xu's place, Qi's mother, Xu's, and sister-in-law Zhang's were all silent, and their faces were not very good-looking. But seeing the two of them coming in and hurriedly raising a smile, Bai Yanran stepped forward to greet her grandmother, and Xu took her hand affectionately and said meaningfully: "Sai Weng lost his horse, he knows the blessings and misfortunes, don't worry, with Yanran's appearance and temperament, he will definitely be able to marry a good man in the future." ”
Bai Yanran opened her lips shyly and said, "What my grandmother said is that Yanran understands. ”
Qi Simin was arrogant, and said with a smile: "This is natural, then Master Song is now a popular person in front of the saint, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future, isn't this Ruyi Langjun." ”
Ji Lingyun was full of jealousy when he heard it in Bai Yanran's arms, and he couldn't wait to give Qi Simin a paw as well.
Zhang's has been giving his daughter a look, but Qi Simin is completely blind, so he simply pulled his daughter and muttered. I saw Qi Simin's face change from surprise to anger, and after hearing this, he rolled up his sleeves and said indignantly: "A little concubine and concubine are too rampant, don't be afraid, I will definitely seek justice for you!" ”
Grandmother Xu slapped the table angrily and shouted: "If you go and beat people, you can get justice, is there no one in our Qi family to let you go?" ”
Qi Simin slowly lowered his hand, still angry, and muttered: "Then let Yanran be bullied by an aunt and sister like this, and miss such a good marriage?" ”
Bai Yanran shook her head and said, "I don't care about the aunts and sisters in the family, if only they can't make waves." It's just a pity that my aunt is a fool, and my cousin has been dependent on my mother since he was a child. ”
Xu also nodded and said: "Yanran is right, with such a mother-in-law, it is still good to not enter the door of the Song family." ”
If it weren't for the fact that the old man of the Qi and Bai families had a very good personal relationship, how could the Qi family's family background marry the only pearl in the palm of his hand to the Bai family, but who knew that he was marrying the wrong person.
Needless to say, Bai Zonglin was all about that concubine. Another mother-in-law like Zhou's family, not only did not correct the family style, but made things difficult for the Qi family everywhere. But if Zhou's mother-in-law had a little maintenance of the Qi family, the Qi family would not have had such a difficult time over the years.
Only then did Ji Lingyun hear that the marriage contract between Yanran and Song Shiyang had already been made!
Ji Lingyun couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he heard Xu's turn and said to the Zhang family and the Qi family: "Now that Yanran and Simin are still in the boudoir, you two mothers should be faster, lest this son-in-law of Chenglong be taken up by other families." ”
Qi Simin stomped his feet in shame and said, "Grandmother, Simin is still young, and she doesn't want to get married yet!" ”
Several people laughed, and Zhang said: "You're still young, if you don't marry you, you'll become an old girl." ”
Qi also took Bai Yanran's hand and said: "Yan'er, don't worry, my mother will definitely find you a real wishful husband, so that my Yan'er can marry beautifully!" ”
Ji Lingyun hated that he was a cat now, otherwise this was not a good time to take advantage of the void!
The mother and daughter talked at Qi's house for a while, and then went back before dinner. As soon as the carriage arrived at the door, they heard a noise, and the two got out of the carriage and saw a middle-aged man in ragged clothes shouting in front of the Baifu gate: "My sister is the lady of the Bai family, you dare to treat me like this, believe it or not, I asked my sister to pull you all down to play the board!" ”
The few people who got off the carriage were stunned when they heard this, Ji Lingyun poked his head out of Bai Yanran's arms, and looked at it curiously, he didn't remember where the Qi family came from such a person.
Su Xin stepped forward and scolded: "Where did the scoundrel come from talking nonsense, our wife is here, you dare to pretend to be the brother of your wife, believe it or not, I will send you to see the official!" ”
The man turned around, and his raw thief eyebrows revealed a bit of shrewdness, but his face was swollen and his eyes were cloudy, and he seemed to be running all the way through the dust, he really didn't look like a serious person, and it was no wonder that the people didn't let him in.
As soon as he heard Su Xin's reprimand, he subconsciously shrank his neck, and then came back to his senses and looked at the Qi family in the middle, as if he had reacted to something, and said with insufficient confidence: "My sister is really the second lady of this Baifu, her name is Zhao Shenglian, and I am his younger brother Zhao Shengtian." ”
Only then did a few people understand the identity of this person, and Su Xin said: "What second lady, Aunt Zhao is just a concubine in the mansion, and we only have one lady in the main room in Baifu, which is the one in front of you." ”
Qi glanced at him coldly, although this person was full of nonsense, but in the end, it was Aunt Zhao's relatives, and it was not good to refuse it if they came to the door. After the group of people walked into the door, Qi Shi coldly instructed the side: "Take people to wash up first, and then bring them to see me, remember to take good care of people, don't run around." ”
After this half a day, when the Qi clan returned to the Zhaohe Courtyard, it was already quiet inside.
It is said that Aunt Zhao was in pain for three hours before giving birth to the child, a boy who had grown completely, but unfortunately he had been stillborn for many days. The old man only glanced at it and left, only to let Aunt Zhao move back to Huixin Courtyard and never asked, and no one came back at this time.
Because the child could not enter the ancestral grave, Qi ordered someone to bury the poor child, and sent someone to the temple to donate some incense money to the child to do a ritual for the child, hoping that he could be reincarnated in a good family in the next life.
The Qi family was still sighing because of the child, and the people below led Zhao Shengtian after bathing and changing clothes. When Zhao Shengtian came in, he was still looking around and making a "tsk" sound in his mouth, and his cloudy eyes were shining with essence, as if he was thinking about something.
When he was led to the Qi family by his subordinates, Zhao Shengtian shook his shoulders and said, "Why are you alone, my sister and brother-in-law?" Why didn't you come out to entertain me. ”
Qi Shi frowned, suppressed the anger and said coldly: "The master has gone out, you stay for dinner first, and you can see the master tomorrow." As for the Zhao family, she just had a miscarriage and is still recuperating in her yard, so if you want to go and see it, go there. ”
Zhao Shengtian shouted when he heard this: "My sister is pregnant? Miscarriage! ”
He rolled his eyes, then pointed to Qi's nose and scolded: "Is it you, is it that you, the old witch, have hurt my sister and nephew!" With a curse in his mouth, the man simply lay on the ground and began to cry.
"O my miserable sister! I don't have a family here, and I have no one to support you when I am bullied like this, you black-hearted things are simply not people, they are animals......"
This splashing and rolling was so smooth that Qi was stunned when he saw it. After coming back to his senses, he was not lightly angry, and pointed at the person and scolded: "Throw this scoundrel out to me, and don't allow him to step into the Bai family again!" ”
The two little guys came up and tore Zhao Shengtian away, dragged him until the gate and threw him out.
Zhao Shengtian rolled down the steps in front of the door, but he had the experience to protect his head, and he was only covered in ashes. Zhao Shengtian stood up and spat at Bai Fu, scolding and muttering for a while. Seeing that the door of the White Mansion was always closed, he felt that he had wasted his saliva before stopping.
In fact, Zhao Shengtian's sudden attack just now was just to take the opportunity to ask for some benefits, after all, whether his sister gave birth or not had little to do with him, anyway, it was not the incense of their Zhao family. But I didn't expect this old witch to be so powerful, it seems that my brother-in-law is really not at home.
Zhao Shengtian came to the capital to join Aunt Zhao this time to avoid debts, he owed a bunch of gambling debts, and he couldn't afford to pay off the pot and iron at home. The gambling house threatened to chop off his two hands, and his mother had to let him run to find his sister who was far away in the capital.
First, he can hide and hide, and secondly, he can only count on this sister who is an aunt in the big official's family to help him pay off his gambling debts.
Zhao Shengtian often heard his mother show off that his sister was more favored in the Bai family than Mrs. Zhengmu, so Zhao Shengtian felt that the old witch dared to be so arrogant just now because her brother-in-law was not at home. He waited until his brother-in-law came back, and when he had someone to support him, he would definitely let his sister vent his evil anger for him.
After coming back, Bai Yanran went back to her Qiufan Courtyard, and she didn't know anything about this farce in Zhaoheyuan. She was now carefully placing the little milk cat in her arms on the flannel cushion, and the smile on her lips became softer when she heard its unconscious little snoring in her sleep.
Su Xin saw that she really liked this cat, and asked, "Miss, since you want to raise this cat, let's give it a name." ”
Bai Yanran was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Little flower." ”
Su Xin looked at her young lady speechlessly, but Bai Yanran seemed to be quite satisfied, and nodded: "Yes, let's call it Xiaohua." ”
In her previous life, Bai Yanran was possessed by such a yellow and white kitten, and she casually took this name after being picked up by Ji Lingyun, and now she thinks it's not bad.
She patted the little milk cat's head lightly and said softly: "Xiaohua will live here in the future, and I will definitely treat you well." ”
Ji Lingyun slept soundly in Qiufan Courtyard, but at this time, King An's Mansion exploded.
King An also talked with the prince in the palace yesterday, and fell asleep after seeing off the prince late at night. As a result, he didn't get up until the third pole of the day, and Gu Fang realized that something was wrong, but found that although the master was breathing steadily, he couldn't wake up, and he fell into a coma and couldn't wake up.
