Chapter 149. checks and balances
The poor must have something to hate, and vice versa.
The "hatefulness" of the fourth lady is related to the environment in which she grew up, generally speaking, her maiden family is a new "nouveau riche" in the scholar clan, lacking precipitation, but in vain. Compared with the maiden family of the eldest lady and the second lady, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it is better than the maiden family of the third lady.
The fourth lady created in such an environment has never been a kind and gentle person. She is snobbish than anyone else, and she knows how to hold high and step on low than anyone else, otherwise she will not be able to sit in the position of the fourth lady of the Bai family now.
But it is precisely because she is too good at judging the situation that she calculates all the gains and losses, but she has too many calculations in her heart, even if she has already become depressed, she is unwilling to spread it out, for fear that once the matter explodes, it will harm the interests related to herself.
And this is also the reason why the eldest lady and the fourth lady can only maintain friendship on the face, after all, no one likes a person who is full of calculations, rather than always on guard, it is better to choose not to be out of sight at the beginning.
But the fourth lady at this moment has completely subverted the eldest lady's perception of her in the past.
The eldest lady actually had a plan in her heart, and she understood that after her younger brother and sister touched her, she would definitely find the old lady and the old lady for help. It's just that she didn't expect it to be so big.
You must know that there are not only the old lady and the old lady, as well as the ladies of each room, but even the juniors of each room, almost all of them are complete, in addition to Bai Xianyu, there is only Bai Jitong, and the daughter of "Mrs. Mei" Bai Xiantao was not present, even Bai Xiantong was there, but at this time, Bai Xiantong seemed a little out of place.
In the opinion of the eldest lady, dealing with the issue of "Mrs. Mei" is really sensitive, no matter how you should avoid the juniors, you should find a reason to disperse the juniors in each room before you open your mouth, after all, the juniors are not like them, they know what to say and what not to say.
But the fourth lady actually ripped the matter away in front of the juniors, regardless of it, leaving no way out for herself!
The old lady at the head was secretive at this time, and the old lady simply closed her eyes and recuperated, looking like she had nothing to do with herself.
The eldest lady can't, even if she doesn't want to stand up at this time, there is no way.
So she got up and walked to the side of the fourth lady.
"Fourth brother and sister, I'm afraid this matter won't be clear for a while, you can get up first and think slowly, okay?" , The eldest lady noticed that Bai Si's expression was sad and stunned, but she didn't feel the slightest guilt, so she knew that this matter should be very different from what she had thought and expected before.
The fourth lady shook her head, looking completely unpersuadable.
The eldest lady sighed, understanding that the younger siblings in the four rooms were obviously desperate today.
"Ji Yuan, you and Ji Yi take your two younger brothers to play elsewhere first, and Xian Nan, you should also take your sisters back first."
The eldest lady opened her mouth to disperse the juniors present, if it weren't for Bai Jiyuan's "pity" expression, the whole process would have been smooth. Even Bai Jidi, after bowing to the eldest lady, got up and left, obviously unwilling to fall into this chaos between his parents, as a son of man, it is wrong to stand on either side.
After that, at the signal of the eldest lady, all the servants withdrew.
Seeing that the hall was empty all of a sudden, the eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in her seat, smiled bitterly and glanced at the second lady beside her, and then spoke.
"Fourth brother, if you have any secrets, just say it, I think the fourth brother and sister have also endured it for a long time, if you don't explain it to her today, she is afraid that she will not give up."
Fourth Master Bai thanked the eldest lady, but looked at the god who didn't say a word with a look of embarrassment.
It wasn't until the old lady bowed his head slightly that he let out a long breath.
In this matter, it is not only his wife who suffers, but also himself, and "Mrs. May" in the eyes of everyone.
"Madam, you regard the Mei family as a behemoth in the land south of the Yangtze River, but haven't you thought about it? Why was the Mei family able to rise to this point in just over ten years, and even developed into a big family that could restrain each other with the Zheng family. Why is it the Mei family in so many families? ”
The fourth lady's eyes were a little dazed at this time, she didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned the development of the Mei family, let alone why she mentioned the Zheng family.
Bai Si continued: "In this world, if there is anyone who can support a powerful family in a short period of time, then this person must be the one with the highest power. ”
His words had already been made very clear, and even the fourth lady, who was not in a very good mental state at this time, suddenly reacted to who her husband was talking about at the moment.
Indeed, if you want a family to develop from unknown to famous in just over ten years, you have to respect Emperor De!
"The development of the Mei family is more because of that one, who wants to use the Mei family to restrain the Zheng family in Yangzhou, not only that, but the growth of the Mei family also gives a signal to those small families in the world! That is the day of good development of the big family, it has passed, if you want to continue to develop, as much as possible to show favor to the one, is the best and most effective way! ”
Although the fourth lady was shocked at this time, she was still puzzled.
She said, "Then what does this have to do with you and that Messi?" Does the Bai family still have to rely on a Mei Sisi to catch the emperor...... Go catch that one! ”
The eldest lady looked at the "stupid" fourth lady with a strange face, but she was a little sympathetic to the fourth elder of the Bai family, these four brothers and sisters are used to calculating on weekdays, but in the end, they can only understand the gains and losses that are close at hand.
The second lady and the eldest lady feel the same way. However, the third lady had some clues, but she was not as clear as the eldest lady, but the third lady was calm and used to it, and there was no doubt on her face.
At this time, the old lady who had been silent for a long time spoke.
"The Bai family doesn't need anyone to help, but ...... Do you understand, today is the Zheng family, and tomorrow is the Bai family. The fourth daughter-in-law, in this matter, it is indeed unfair to you, but what is fairness? You are not the only one in such a situation, and even in comparison, your situation is much better than that of many people, think about the eldest lady of the Mao family, and then you think about yourself. ”
After saying this, the old lady got up and left with the old lady in his arms, some things he said too much would not be interesting, although the words were indeed not thorough, but enough.
The rest, whether you can understand it or not is up to you. ntent
