Chapter 2: Goodbye Cousin
Zhou is obviously also excited, but he still has to hold the shelf and make a reluctant appearance.
"In this case, it's nothing for an old woman to move this old bone again, I can't let my daughter-in-law have to worry about hard work when she is sick, and it is difficult to recuperate with peace of mind, which makes people think that our Bai family is mean."
After returning to Zhaohe Courtyard, Dr. Hu gave him a few prescriptions for warming and nourishing, and the Qi family worked all day long on the affairs of the house and had a perennial liver stagnation, so it was indeed time to take care of his body.
Bai Zonglin heard that Qi was sick and came to take a look, after all, his wife has always been strong, and he would even hand over the housekeeping rights, presumably it was really sick.
Qi Shi rarely got two soft words from her husband, and suddenly felt that what her daughter said was right, even if she was directly "sick", she couldn't get out of bed. was so frightened that his son Bai Boren hurriedly came over when he got the news in the afternoon, and was relieved to go back to study after Bai Yanran said something wrong.
It is now the beginning of February, and the spring exam is approaching, and Song Shiyang's journey to Beijing to catch the exam is tomorrow's boat. On that day, Bai Zonglin took Bai Boren to the dock to greet him, and the carriage and horse came back just before dinner.
At that time, because Qi was "seriously ill" and bedridden, Bai Yanran had to take over the busy reception, and suddenly heard the critical words of Aunt Zhao and Bai Yueyu on the side, and turned her head to see the strange and familiar figure.
really said goodbye to Song Shiyang, Bai Yanran only felt like a world away.
After Song Shiyang went to high school in his previous life, his father was relieved and wanted to let the two families get closer to each other, so Song Shiyang asked for a kiss for himself. The words of the matchmaker of his parents, he finally nodded under the persuasion of his mother, forgot about the front edge and married with peace of mind.
And the talent who is good with Bai Yueyu is once again famous in Sun Shan, and in comparison, Bai Yueyu naturally can't look down on him anymore. So on the wedding day a month later, she was stunned by calculations, and Bai Yueyu wore a red hijab and Song Shiyang to worship and become married.
And when she woke up, she was in a firewood house in a flower building, and her mother broke her body and stopped her from running away. Bai Yanran was weak for a lifetime, but in the end, in order to protect her innocence, she committed suicide by hitting the wall.
All kinds of flashes of light flashed in his mind, Bai Yanran's gaze gradually became cold, and he lowered his head and retreated to the side.
A few people sat down to greet each other, Bai Zonglin asked about his sister-in-law, Song Shiyang only sighed and said helplessly: "Mother's body is still the same, but I used to do too much embroidery and hurt my eyes, and now I am a little unable to see clearly." Fortunately, my uncle has often taken care of me over the years, otherwise how would our orphans and widows survive to this day. ”
Song Shiyang's mother Bai is Bai Zonglin's sister-in-law, Bai's life is hard, she was widowed in her early years, and the Song family is not a good one, but fortunately, she still has such a son under her knees so he was not sent to the nunnery but died.
The brothers and sisters-in-law of the Song family took possession of the family property and drove their mother and son out on the grounds of Bai's Kefu. The mother and son were lonely and helpless in Jingzhou, and they all relied on Bai's embroidery to raise Song Shiyang, and life was difficult, but fortunately, Bai Zonglin helped from time to time so that the mother and son would not fall into the streets.
Now Song Shiyang and the crown have a meritorious name in the year, and the future is immeasurable, and the banquet is harmonious. Especially Bai Boren and Song Shiyang are the same age, and they want to participate in this spring festival together, and they quickly became acquainted.
After the dinner, the two had already begun to talk and discuss current affairs. Bai Yanran sat next to Bai Boren without saying a word, but Bai Yueyu next to her interjected from time to time, pestering Song Shiyang to ask questions about the innocent little daughter's family.
Song Shiyang couldn't be entangled by her, and it was not good to brush her face in public, so he simply wanted to rest early. How could Bai Zonglin not see his thoughts, yes, and when Bai Yueyu took the initiative to lead the way, he was reprimanded by him for not following the rules, and instead pointed to Bai Yanran.
Bai Yanran lowered her eyebrows and led the way quietly, without saying anything all the way. Song Shiyang followed behind him, looking at Bai Yanran's slender figure in front of him for a moment.
During the banquet, this cousin was shy, and she couldn't see her face clearly when she lowered her head, but now under the moonlight, she saw that she was a beautiful and beautiful woman, and it was rare to be a kind and elegant character, and her heart couldn't help but be a little rippling.
"This Taiyang Courtyard is next to my brother's Evergreen Courtyard, and someone has already been sent to clean it up, so my cousin can live here with peace of mind."
Song Shiyang came back to his senses at this time, it turned out that he had already arrived at his courtyard, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.
"Cousin bothered."
Bai Yanran nodded slightly and turned around to leave, Song Shiyang subconsciously called: "Cousin Yanran? ”
Bai Yanran turned around in confusion, and Song Shiyang said with a smile: "I've bothered my cousin a lot, and I will thank you another day." ”
Bai Yanran said lightly: "What's the point of worrying about trivial matters, cousin, let's rest early." ”
Until she returned to Qiufan Courtyard, Bai Yanran's hand hidden in her sleeve was still trembling.
Fang Cai's scene was the same as in her previous life, she was stunned for a moment, and even wanted to rush up and question hoarsely.
In her previous life, she was forced to commit suicide on her wedding day, and after her death, she was attached to a cat. She took a lot of effort to return to Baifu to find out that Aunt Zhao asked her to leave a letter in imitation of her notes, stating that she and Na Luo Dixiu were in love with each other and eloped, so that Bai Yueyu's marriage could be justified.
When her mother and brother learned the news, they refused to believe it anyway, and until the accident, they were still sending people around looking for her news. But Song Shiyang believed it, he acquiesced in Bai Yueyu's substitution, although he was not very affectionate to her, but because the son in her womb also valued her very much, Bai Yueyu relied on the name of the scholar to force her mother and brother into a desperate situation.
Although he knew that this was definitely not his intention, Bai Yanran couldn't help but complain about him. In her previous life, she thought she could be entrusted with him for life, but it was he who made her completely chill and break her love. Everything has started over in this life, but she no longer has the original love for him.
But even so, Bai Yueyu must not be allowed to marry Song Shiyang again, and take advantage of the situation to harm his relatives.
Because of Song Shiyang's arrival, I have to go to greet my grandmother today. Qi Shi said that he was sick and didn't even get out of bed these days, so naturally he couldn't come, but Aunt Zhao didn't come either, Bai Yanran was surprised.
Bai Zonglin led a group of juniors to greet the Zhou family, although the Zhou family disliked the orphans and widows of the Song Bai family and was reluctant to take them back to the Bai family, but now they naturally want to look up to Song Shiyang, and their attitude is still affectionate, and they also asked about the Song Bai family who stayed in Jingzhou.
Bai Yueyu has always been favored by her grandmother, so she interjected with great scruples: "Jingzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, has just produced a young talent like my cousin, but I don't know when Yueyu can also go to her cousin's hometown?" ”
Song Shiyang frowned, and before he could speak, the Zhou family at the top had already opened his mouth to reprimand: "Do you still have any rules, a girl's family is so shameless, don't go back to your yard, it's embarrassing here." ”
Bai Yueyu had never been trained in such an ugly way, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at Song Shiyang with a smile. Song Shiyang's eyes look at his nose and nose and his heart, but he can't see it.
"Crying, crying, having the same virtue as your ruined mother, it's a dead star."
Bai Yueyu couldn't sit still after being scolded, so she ran out with a handkerchief. Bai Zonglin never thought that the Zhou family would suddenly lose such a big temper, and he was afraid of Song Shiyang's presence, and said embarrassedly: "Mother, what's wrong?" This is good, why did you scold Yueyu girl? ”
Zhou glanced at Song Shiyang and didn't say much, but he still scolded with residual anger: "It's not all what you're used to, and these ones don't make people worry." ”
Bai Yanran heard the doorway, and then she understood the reason why Aunt Zhao didn't come to offer her hospitality today, and she couldn't help sneering in her heart.
On that day, before my mother asked her to hand over the accounts to my grandmother, she checked them once, especially after the three hundred taels of expenditure a few days ago. Now that my grandmother has taken over the accounts, she should know that the rest of the family is not rich, and the three hundred taels that Aunt Zhao took away are particularly eye-catching.
In the past, Aunt Zhao's profligacy had to be filled in by her mother from the dowry, and complaining to her father would only think that she was stirring up trouble, and she had to beware of Aunt Zhao beating her upside down. Now that my grandmother is different, my father can only listen to the training honestly.
Fortunately, Song Shiyang also had to take care of his son's face in the Zhou family, so he quickly changed the topic. But this also made Bai Zonglin angry, and he didn't go to Huixin Courtyard who was going to go to Huixin Courtyard, and went back to Zhaohe Courtyard for breakfast.
When I went back, I saw that the Qi family remembered what Fang Cai's mother said, and remembered that his former wife had also mentioned Zhao's profligacy a few times, but he never took it to heart, and now it seems that he is not necessarily jealous, and he can't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, so he didn't go to Huixin Courtyard for the next few days.
Bai Zonglin was so abnormal, Aunt Zhao was naturally a little uneasy, so she sent her daughter to find out. But Bai Yueyu was busy delivering pastries and soup to Taiyang Courtyard these days, and casually fooled Bai Zonglin that Bai Zonglin was busy with court affairs, and Aunt Zhao was relieved.
But Song Shiyang is bitter, he should have studied well these days, but Bai Yueyu has been diligent every day, and as a guest, it is not good to turn away the host's house, so he has to be patient to chat with Bai Yueyu, and he has lost a lot of time.
After Bai Yanran found out, she also took two cups of ginseng soup to Zhaohe Courtyard, and first gave a cup to Bai Zonglin, who was dealing with things in the study, Bai Zonglin naturally used it, and asked who the other cup was for.
Bai Yanran said: "My daughter thinks about my brother's hard work in the past few days, so I am ready to send a cup to my brother as well." ”
Bai Zonglin thought so, they were all from the past, and they knew that before this scientific examination, they were naturally busy and forgot to sleep and eat, so they should send some tonic soup to nourish their bodies.
He thought about it for a while, and then said: "Then let the kitchen send a bowl to your cousin, so that everyone can be treated equally, they are all a family, don't be suspicious because of this." ”
Bai Yanran said with a smile: "My cousin doesn't have to worry about my daughter, but my sister goes to send some soup and refreshments to my cousin every day, and I am afraid that my cousin will be bored in the house, so I stay with me to talk. ”
Bai Yanran's words were to praise Bai Yueyu's hospitality, but Bai Zonglin frowned when he heard it.
