Chapter 178: Shangguan Returns
Seeing that the little girl's eyes were red because she felt sorry for herself, Bai Sanshu pulled out a wry smile, which strengthened her determination to protect her family.
Facing the concerned eyes of his wife and daughter, Bai Sanshu was full of guilt, and didn't want them to know what Mrs. Bai said, so as not to add to the blockage in his heart, so he looked at Bai Liu and said:
"Let's go home. ...... later"
"If there is anything in the future, let the next person come, if we can not come, we will not come." Bai Liu's family felt sorry for his man, so he finished speaking for him.
"Hmm." Bai Sanshu nodded without hesitation, glanced back at the main house, and walked away.
The old lady Bai in the main house scolded directly, cursing the third room and still running out without money.
With the departure of Sanfang, many people also followed, after all, it is not suitable for such a scene to stay.
The important thing is that no matter who Bai Xue marries, it may not bring benefits to everyone, but the two workshops in Sanfang have brought real benefits to the villagers.
Sanfang's attitude towards the old house is also like a gust of wind, and the whole village knows it before dark.
But no one knew that Bai Mei went to the third room in dodge when it was dark.
"You're fourteen this year, aren't you?" After listening to Bai Mei tell the truth about Bai Xue's family affairs, Bai Ling was not surprised at all, but opened his mouth to ask.
"Yes." Bai Mei has suffered a lot in the past half a year, and she is no longer the tiger girl who once lacked strings, and she is also very well-behaved in front of Bai Ling.
"It stands to reason that the girl from a peasant family should be married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and the family at the age of sixteen is just right. Can you see someone else at home? ”
Bai Ling looked at Bai Mei, whose face was sallow, but he felt a little pity.
Bai Xue will soon 'get married', and there is only one girl left in the old mansion, Bai Mei, and I am afraid that there will be no good marriage.
Women in the Eastern Han Dynasty married later than other countries, and there were also women with good conditions who stayed in their twenties.
However, the peasant families can stay until they are sixteen or seventeen years old at most, and those who have not left the house at the age of eighteen have a last resort.
"Will you help me?" Bai Mei nervously tugged at the placket of her clothes.
"How do you want me to help you?" Bai Ling asked lightly.
"I just want to find an honest man to marry, and live a good life in the future, even if I am an orphan, then I can support my mother in old age."
Bai Mei already had a plan in her heart, and she didn't have that lofty mind, so she pleaded:
"I have a dowry of my own money, which I can buy a field. I beg you to help me, my mother is so watched by her milk, she can't even get out of the door, I don't want to be sold by them! ”
As she spoke, Bai Mei knelt down towards Bai Ling, tears streaming down her face.
Looking at Bai Mei's pleading eyes, Bai Ling sighed in his heart.
When Bai Xing had an accident, Bai Mei was also involved, and she was later punished.
If it were Bai Ling in the past, he would definitely not care about Bai Mei's life or death.
But Bai Mei has taken a lot of risks to deliver letters in the past six months, although she is to make money to sell news, but she has no intention of harming the third room.
The most important thing is that if none of the people in the old mansion are okay, Bai Sanshu's heart will also be sad.
"I'll ask a matchmaker to ask, but our family has severed ties with yours, so there's no way to make decisions for you. If you have the right person, you'll have to figure out how to get the nod yourself. ”
Bai Ling bent down to help the person up, pulled out a pair of silver hairpins in the middle of the hair, and put them in Bai Mei's hands.
"Go back, I'll have someone send you a message if there's news."
"Thank you!" Bai Mei clenched the hairpin and bowed to Bai Ling before leaving.
When the door of the house was closed, Bai Ling was still sitting there with his cheeks up, his fugue was so empty that he didn't even know that there were more people in the room.
Shangguan Yu's face was dusty, and it could be seen that he didn't even have time to bathe and change clothes, so he came to Bai Ling.
Seeing that Bai Ling didn't realize his existence, Shangguan Yu felt uncomfortable, and sat down and poured a cup of tea by himself.
"When did you come back?" When Bai Ling heard the sound of water, he found Shangguan Yu sitting beside him, and asked in surprise, with a hint of joy in his eyes that he had never noticed.
"When you girl open the door."
Shangguan Yu replied, glanced at Bai Ling, and sneered:
"I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but your heart has softened, so you have forgotten the revenge of Bai Xing's accident?"
"How can you forget." Bai Ling's voice was slightly cold, "If it weren't for some scruples, I would never let go of the second room so easily!" ”
"Aren't you afraid that she will bite you back?" Shangguan Yu drank a cup of hot tea, rested his arm on the table, looked at Bai Ling and asked.
"If she wants to die, I won't stop her." Bai Ling's voice was indifferent.
Seeing Bai Mei's trembling appearance just now, Bai Ling remembered the past of the original owner, and also remembered that Bai Qi had saved the life of the original owner, and it also caused a miscarriage.
It was from that time on, that Bai Qi's family did not want to see Sanfang, and people became bitter and mean.
As for Bai Qi's personality being like this, or if he really changed his personality because of that child, Bai Ling didn't know.
But the original owner owes Bai Qi's life, and Bai Ling should repay the favor for the original owner.
If it weren't for this past, Bai Ling would look at Bai Sanshu's face at most, and would not completely destroy the second room, and would not generously give Bai Mei a stable future.
Shangguan Yu looked at Bai Ling noncommittally, and then stopped talking about Bai Mei, after all, it had nothing to do with him.
"Can those people still use it?" Shangguan Yu asked.
"Well, there's something about it."
Bai Ling nodded, and when he saw Shangguan Yu's face was gloomy, he walked in front of him and took his pulse.
After discovering that Shangguan Yu's old illness had not been eliminated and there were still toxins left in his body, Bai Ling couldn't help frowning.
"I'll go to the kitchen to get you something to eat, your old injuries haven't been healed, and you will have to suffer in the future."
Shangguan Yu didn't make a sound, and when he saw Bai Ling leaving, he lay on the warm couch and closed his eyes.
After rushing for so many days, it was just to be able to squeeze out a day to see Bai Ling, and now that he saw people, Shangguan Yu could sleep steadily.
As for why he had to come to see Bai Ling, Shangguan Yu never thought about this question, he just wanted to come and see her, so he came.
When Bai Ling came back with the food, Shangguan Yu was sleeping soundly.
Looking at Shangguan Yu's dirty robe, Bai Ling couldn't bear to call him up.
But it was not good for a lonely man and a widow to sleep in a room, so he sat aside and continued to practice needlework.
After this period of hard work, Bai Ling has barely been able to come up with a shirt, but the stitches are not dense enough, and the sewn clothes are not smooth, and occasionally he still his fingers.
When Shangguan Yu woke up, he saw Bai Ling threading needles and threads in the candlelight, and his soft expression and clumsy movements calmed Shangguan Yu's heart.
"You're awake, the food is still warm, you go wash your face, hurry up and eat some." Sensing Shangguan Yu's gaze, Bai Ling spoke, and then lowered his head and continued to make clothes.
A simple sentence, let alone the meaning of waiting, Shangguan Yu actually felt extremely warm.
It's like......
Suddenly realizing that he shouldn't have the idea, Shangguan Yu sat up and went to the corner to wash his face without even saying a word.
At this time, Bai Ling had already gone to the space to make up for sleep, so that he would have enough time to study in the space or take care of the space.
Because of Shangguan Yu's arrival, it was inconvenient for Bai Ling to enter the space, which would be sleepy and yawning.
Shangguan Yu quickly finished eating, and when he saw Bai Ling rubbing his eyes, he said:
"I owe you a personal favor for what happened before. If there is anything that can't be solved in the future, take this jade pendant and go to the Shangguan Mansion in Zixiao City to find me. ”
"Then you're welcome." Bai Ling accepted the jade pendant with peace of mind.
