Rutong, who hadn't gone out for a long time, came to Rumeng's boudoir in a hurry this day, and before he had time to take off his cloak, he talked about Rumeng's private affairs of Mrs. Tian's family.

"The fourth sister, Tian Qiyu, the grandson of the Taifu, was originally unable to get her wish because of her marriage, so she drank arsenic and frost. What an infatuated person. I heard that I fell in love with General Bai's daughter Bai Ling'er. ”

"Alas, this is also a good match, but General Bai is not long in life, and he will leave before he reaches the white hair, so I want to find a good match for my daughter to enter the Bai Mansion before leaving, so as to support the century-old family business of the General's Mansion."

"Second sister, where did you say that General Bai will die soon?"

Rumeng hurriedly stopped Rutong, who was talking to himself. It seems that General Bai, like in his previous life, still can't escape the fate of his untimely death.

"Hey, didn't I say that? One morning, when the emperor and his ministers were discussing how to assist Shijin State in attacking Beihu, General Bai vomited blood on the spot and fainted. When the hospital came to see him, General Bai had injured his lungs and intestines because of the war in the early years, and he used to be treated for tuberculosis, but at this time he was diagnosed that his lungs and intestines had been broken and there was no way to return to heaven. I'm just hanging on some tonics. ”

"How much does the second sister know, do you know how General Bai is now?"

"Well, my father talked to my mother about it, and I listened. Alas, don't interrupt the fourth sister, listen to me tell you. ”

"On the second day of General Bai's illness, the emperor issued an order to recruit sons-in-law for the Bai family, and ordered the military department, the criminal department, the fifty percent soldiers and horses division and the generals, in short, the military generals in the court, all the unmarried young talents above the seventh grade must be recruited, which is more rigorous than the princess's selection of horses."

"Presumably, the emperor knows about General Bai's illness, and when he thinks of the old grace, he is willing to help his Bai family once."

"The fourth sister is right, the emperor allowed General Bai and will not disperse his Bai family's inheritance."

"But this matter of recruiting a son-in-law, Bai Ling'er is voluntary?"

I heard that Miss Bai was reluctant at first, but that day General Bai was carried back to the mansion, looking at his father's blood, Bai Ling'er cried and fainted several times. After waking up, his temperament changed drastically as if he had changed people. I also personally participated in this recruitment of sons-in-law. ”

"Alas, the relatives are about to be separated forever, and it hurts my heart, Bai Linger has had a deep relationship with her father since she was a child, and I must hope that my father can be blind before leaving."

"Yes, Bai Ling'er will soon choose a son-in-law, that Taifu grandson heard the news, ran to Baifu, saying that he wanted to join the Bai family, although he has no official position, and he is not a military general's family, but he is willing to give up literature and martial arts for Miss Bai, and he is sincerely in love with Bai Ling'er. Ask General Bai to be the master and fulfill him. ”

When she heard this, she was already shocked, Tian Qiyu liked to quarrel with Bai Ling'er, and she had already been deeply rooted. If the two are combined, it must be a good couple. But this Tian Qiyu can drink arsenic and frost, which shows that Mrs. Tian's Fu family does not agree.

Before General Bai could say anything, a few nurses came to the Taifu Mansion and dragged them back to Young Master Sun. It's really dragging. ”

"Now that the General's Mansion and the Tian Mansion are no longer in contact with each other because of this matter, the Bai Mansion is busy choosing a son-in-law, and the Tian Mansion has recently closed its doors."

Rutong must have said that his mouth was dry, so he picked up the tea that had already been cold on the side and took a few sips. Rumeng thought about it, and her grandmother must have known the truth that day, but she didn't say anything about the three of them, and it seemed that she was deliberately hiding it.

"Second sister, you just know about this matter, don't talk about it anymore. Especially the third sister there. ”

"Huh? Why? Can you know why you can't tell Ruzhu? ”

"Second sister thinks that grandmother didn't tell us that day, is it because she doesn't know the truth of the matter?"

"How is it possible, this matter is very big, my father will definitely tell my grandmother. Besides, grandmother and Mrs. Tian are even better. ”

"Yes, grandmother knows your temperament, and she will definitely go back to pester your uncle to ask clearly, so why don't you just tell us at that time?"

"Ah, I didn't expect that. Grandmother doesn't want you and Ruzhu to know? ”

"Well, I don't think Xu wants the third sister to know. That's why I want to tell you, just let me do it, don't say it again. ”

Rutong stared at Rumeng, this little sister is younger than her, where did these twists and turns come from?

"What is the second sister staring at me? You are the uncle and the aunt in your hands, where will these dirty methods of reading people's faces and minds, my sister Xu is a woman who can look at people. ”

Rumeng could feel Rutong's scrutiny, and deliberately said that she was pitiful and diverted her attention. I can't say that I have lived two lives, I already have experience in these things.

"The fourth sister said that these things are very good, I never felt that you were different from me, we are both daughters of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, if someone deceives you, I will not agree."

Looking at the nervous Rutong, Rumeng hurriedly comforted. Then the two had lunch together in the inner room, and the second sister went back to the boudoir to embroider mandarin ducks. This happened to Baifu, and it would be good to visit Bai Ling'er another day.

On the second day, Rumeng went to ask the old lady for advice, and when she learned that she could visit Bai Ling'er, she sent a prayer post. Soon received a reply from Bai Ling'er, asking her to come over tomorrow.

The old lady asked Granny Yan to send a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, saying that she would go to Baifu tomorrow to transfer it to General Bai.

The winter moon is about to pass, and the harsh winter wax moon will be the New Year, if the dream is not mistaken, General Bai passed away around Laba. I don't know how the people of Baifu will spend this New Year.

The next day soon arrived, Rumeng and Ping'er sat in the carriage prepared by the Qi family, went to Baifu, and walked to Qianyang Hutong, suddenly jumped into a person, Rumeng exclaimed and quickly pulled out the dagger from his sleeve, because of nervousness, his hands were shaking.

"Fourth sister, don't be afraid, it's me, Tian Qiyu."

"Tian Gongzi, what are you doing?"

When Rumeng saw the person clearly, he exhaled. Put away the dagger and look at each other. Xu hasn't rested well for too long, his eyes are blue-gray, and there is a little stubble on his chin, which is even thinner than the last time he saw him in Drunken Immortal Tower.

"Fourth sister, it's Tian who is abrupt. I apologize to you, but there is something you can help me with such recklessness today. I've been waiting at the gate of General Bai's Mansion for the past few days, Ling'er refuses to meet, and I am not allowed to walk into Baifu for half a step. ”

"Tian Gongzi, since my sister doesn't want to meet, I can't pull her out, and you know the current situation of General Bai"

"You don't need Ling'er to come to see me, I have a letter here, and Sister Lao can hand it over to her personally."

"Okay, Tian Gongzi, I can only hand it over, as for whether she will see it, Rumeng doesn't dare to guarantee it."

"It's okay, as long as Ling'er knows, I won't give up easily."

Say goodbye to Tian Qiyu in a dream and continue to drive towards Baifu.

When she arrived at Bai Ling'er's boudoir in Baifu, Rumeng almost couldn't recognize her, but she hadn't seen her for a few days, her eyes no longer had the brilliance of the past, her appearance was not as good as Tian Qiyu's, her face was withered, and the whole person was lifeless.

"Sister, what are you doing? If General Bai sees you like this, he will definitely feel distressed. ”

"Sister, don't be afraid, I've been cooperating with the palace to choose a son-in-law recently, I must be tired, just rest for a few days. Have you come today to look for me? Look at Baifu's appearance now, I'm afraid I can't play with you."

"Sister, don't be strong, you know it all like a dream, how is General Bai's health now? My grandmother brought me a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."

"I thanked Mrs. Liu on behalf of my father. Trouble my sister to convey it after returning home. My father has been sleeping all day lately, and he has very little time to wake up, so he must have run out of time. ”

Bai Ling'er looked at Rumeng, and when she talked about General Bai, she couldn't hold back any longer, and she lay on the table and sobbed softly.

"Sister, in fact, we are going to die eventually, you will, I will, General Bai will too, our fate here will not be gone because of separation, maybe the departed person just changed places to wait for us"

Like a dream, he stroked Bai Ling'er's shoulder and gently persuaded him. I was reborn once, but I felt that it was a happy thing that someone could cry and grieve for his death.

"Will it? Will my father and I ever see each other again? ”

"Yes, what my sister has to do now is to leave no regrets, and to fulfill General Bai's wish."

Speaking of General Bai's wish, Bai Ling'er cheered up, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said to Rumeng again.

"I am a daughter, although I have practiced martial arts, but after all, I can't go to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, my younger brother is young, and it will take ten or eight years to support the portal, and this century-old family business cannot be cut off from my father. So the road he arranged for me was the most beneficial to the Bai family, can my sister understand? ”

"Sister, it's clear like a dream, but has my sister ever thought about her lifelong happiness? Tian Gongzi is very affectionate to you, and the Taifu Mansion will not allow him to join you. ”

"I'm afraid I don't have a fate with him, what I can do for him now is to be ruthless and make him cold"

"Sister, don't think about it, if you are sad in the future and want to talk to someone, just give me a post, and I will come to compensate you. Even if you choose a good son-in-law, don't forget to share your sister's cup of wine and drink. ”

"I won't forget my sister, thank you for coming to see me today......"

As he was saying this, a child's voice sounded outside the door, accompanied by the sound of the door slamming.

"Sister, can I come in? Mother asked me to come to you. ”

Bai Ling'er called the maid to the door to greet a boy about six or seven years old, who looked a little similar to Bai Ling'er, but was more like the elegant Mrs. Bai. The body is also round, and it is very cute.

"Xiaoer, why are you here?"

"Sister, my mother just went to my father's room, and no one took care of me, so let me come to look for you?"

"Oh, who went to invite the mother?"

"It's the apprentice of the royal doctor, and my mother went without wearing a cloak."

The boy took the candied fruit handed over by the maid and ate it. Bai Ling'er was like five thunderbolts and panicked.

"Danhong, you stay and take care of the little master, I'm going to go to the master's room to have a look."

As he spoke, he put on his coat and shawl, and looked up sharply before he came back to his senses when he saw Rumeng.

"Sister, don't blame, every time it's my father's entourage who goes to invite my mother, the apprentice of the royal doctor can come, it must be something happened to my father, my sister is out of company, I want to take a look."

"Sister, go quickly, I'll go home in a while."

After Bai Ling'er finished explaining the things in the house, she ran out without looking back.

"Sister, are you my sister's friend? I haven't seen you, you're so good-looking. ”

The little boy's mouth was stuffed with candied fruit, and he looked at Rumeng inarticulate and said.

"Yes, my name is Rumeng, what's your name?"

"My name is Bai Ling'er, and my mother and sister call me Xiao'er."

"Xiao'er, Sister Rumeng, is it okay to ask you something? My sister has a letter here, and I will pass it on to your sister, and it would be nice if I could show her. ”

"Well, don't worry, Xiaoer can do a good job."

Rumeng was not very relieved and explained a few words to Bai Linger's maid Danhong, and left Baifu. On the way back, I didn't meet Tian Qiyu again, so I must have gone back to Taifu's Mansion. That's all there is to help him, and the rest depends on destiny.
