Chapter 41: Rumors in the Palace
A fist-sized night pearl was held in Bai Zhenzhen's hand and handed to Bai Heran.
"My aunt asked me to give it to you, she said that the eldest lady brought from Gebu back then was the only thing left, she and her father were coquettish, so let you keep it, it's a thought." Bai Zhenzhen stuffed the things into Bai Heran's hand, then stood up, shook Bai Heran's hand vigorously, and said, "I am really impressed that you came back this time, but you have to keep it up, and you must not let go of your strength halfway." If the demons and monsters in this mansion are not suppressed, I am afraid that they will rebel
God, you and I will not be able to survive by then. ”
Bai Heran withdrew his gaze from the Night Pearl and looked at Bai Zhenzhen firmly, "Don't worry, none of the past grudges will be forgotten." ”
Bai Zhenzhen took two more peaches as she left, and Bai Heran almost suspected that she had come for the peaches in the first place.
The pearl of the night was held in her hand, cold and cold, without a little temperature, just like the desolation of Chun Yulan who was far away from her homeland and died in a foreign land.
She remembered that after the original owner was exchanged for Chun Yulan's life and returned to Baifu, Bai Xingyan pulled all the objects used by Chun Yulan outside the city and burned them, and nothing was left for her. The original owner had tried to find something to keep for his mother more than once, but to no avail. Yingchun watched Bai Zhenzhen leave, and couldn't help but sigh: "Aunt Hong entered the house after the eldest lady back then, and the difference between the two was less than a month. It is said that it is not possible to carry a concubine into the door during the wedding month, which will add to the bad luck between husband and wife. But the young lady also saw the resemblance of Aunt Hong, like that
Appearance, what do you want the lord not to give! The slave maid was still young and had just entered the house, but she also knew that the lord stayed at Aunt Hong's side for more than 20 days a month, and the eldest lady of the year shed tears for this. ”
Bai He's face was plain, and his heart didn't make much waves. Chun Yulan is just a name in her memory, she doesn't have the emotion of the original owner who misses her biological mother so much, she just feels that the original owner is pitiful, just like her self before the age of ten in her previous life.
The experience of being too similar sometimes gives her the illusion that she and the original owner have always been the same person.
"If it's like you said, Aunt Hong and my mother should be mortal enemies." She withdrew her thoughts and asked Yingchun. Yingchun thought for a while, and then said: "It stands to reason that this should be the case, but the old lady has been going to the eldest lady, and when she saw that Aunt Hong was almost exclusively favored, she cleaned her up fiercely." That time he almost killed someone, and it happened that the old man went to other provinces and was not in the house for a whole month. Later, it was the eldest lady who interceded and saved Aunt Hong, and it was the eldest lady who took the initiative to invite a doctor for Aunt Hong, so as to save Aunt Hong's life. Since then, Aunt Hong has regarded the eldest lady as a life-saving benefactor, and she has been good to the eldest lady with all her heart. It is precisely because Aunt Hong said good things about the master, eldest lady
I was pregnant with you, Miss. This is a story from a long time ago, and after Bai Heran heard it, his first reaction was that he felt that ancient women were actually really simple. Chun Yulan can save a concubine who shares her favor, and the concubine can also sincerely repay her kindness because of a life-saving, and the wife and concubine are harmonious, this is the polygamy system
Under the distorted reality, right?
"I don't really remember my mother's appearance anymore." Bai Heran opened his mouth and said lightly: "It's good to have such a bead now, just like Zhen Zhen said, at least it's a thought." ”
However, are Bai Zhenzhen and Aunt Hong really just to let her have a thought? She thought it wouldn't be that simple.
The mother and daughter looked high-flying, but in fact they were not stupid at all, how could they be able to live in this mansion and be so intact, how could they not have a little scheming.
So, what is their real purpose? The night pearl was held by her for a long time, but there was still no temperature. She went back to her room, where Silent was still embroidering. Before she went to see Bai Zhenzhen, she unloaded all the internal strength of Moyu, and now Moyu is no different from an ordinary maid, just a rough woman outside the door can look at her firmly
Live. There are still things on the table in the room that the second lady Ye gave them, which are nothing more than some jewelry, which are a lot of good goods, and they must have made Ye's flesh hurt for a long time. But Yingchun said: "These are not many good things, the slave maid heard that the eldest lady brought them from home before, but the whole east."
A treasure that Qin can't even see. ”
Her heart was shocked, and she suddenly understood what the mother and daughter of the Hong family wanted to remind her, and also thought of the name of a small country that Bai Zhenzhen had specially emphasized just now, Gebu.
Yes, Chun Yulan is the county lord of Gebu, and when he comes to the Bai family, he belongs to the next marriage, and how much dowry does the county lord of a country have to bring when he marries! But now there is only one night pearl left by the Hong family by being coquettish, what does this mean?
This is what the mother and daughter of the Hong family want to remind her, where did all the dowries of Chun Yulan go back then?
Bai Heran asked Yingchun: "Does my mother still have something to keep?" Yingchun shook her head, "This slave and maid really don't know, when the eldest lady went, the slave and maid were only in their early tens, and they couldn't enter the inner courtyard, and many things were inquired." But when the second lady asked like this today, the slave maid also felt a little strange, and it was said that as the eldest lady, she brought something willing
There must be a lot, even if people go, things should have a provenance. But why have the masters of the house never mentioned those things over the years? Even the old lady didn't mention it. ”
Bai Heran snorted coldly, "I'm afraid I can't mention it, but I don't dare to mention it." "What the Bai family did with those things, only Bai Xingyan should know.
Bai Xingyan came back late today, and the sky was wiped black before entering the Ye family's Fuxi Courtyard, with a strong look of resentment.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Ye Shi was taken aback, "But something bad happened in the court?" ”
She took off Bai Xingyan's outer cover, handed over warm tea with her own hands, and pinned a lock of his sideburns to the back of her ear, the standard appearance of a good wife and mother.
Bai Xingyan took the tea and glanced at Ye Shi deeply, and there was a feeling of sullenness in his heart that he wanted to send it and dared to send it, and he was uncomfortable. Today, those people in the court and China didn't know what kind of wind they were pumping, and they all ran to him one by one to express their sympathy for him. At first, he didn't understand what he had to sympathize with, but later learned that his colleagues meant that he couldn't hold his head up in front of the Queen Mother's niece
come, everywhere is inferior, life is like a parasitic fence, and even the hereditary Duke of Wenguo has to be forced to pass on to the son born to the niece of the Queen Mother and her ex-husband. People say that since the Bai family married the Ye family, the status of the Bai family has been lower day by day, and even the old lady in the house has to look at the face of her daughter-in-law to live, and if there is a slight disappointment, the daughter-in-law will enter the palace to complain to the queen mother. With the support of the Queen Mother, the people of Baifu can only be the life of the Ye family
From. People also say that the grandfather himself is not without a son, although he is a concubine, but he is also his own flesh and blood, if there is only this son in this life, the title should be passed on to this son in the future. But the Ye family didn't let it, relying on his identity as his mother-in-law, relying on the support of the queen mother behind his back, and forcing the country
The grandfather promised to pass on the title to her son born to her ex-husband. Although the son changed his surname to Bai, he is not the blood of the Bai family!
Poor Wenguo Mansion, the title inherited from generation to generation, has come to an end in this generation.
The courtiers sighed at Bai Xingyan one by one, and said again and again: "We know your embarrassment, and you are also a poor person!" It's a pity that the inheritance left by the ancestors, alas, who made a woman's power too great! Bai Xingyan was told by them that he couldn't live anymore, and at first he was angry that someone made up these nonsense, but as he listened to it, he felt more and more that this was actually the case. When he married the Ye family, he was the influence of the Tuye family, the old queen mother was the Ye family, and the grandfather of the Ye family was also
is an old general of Eastern Qin, such a woman with a deep background is very helpful to his career. But later, it didn't matter much, and the Ye family began to instill in him the concept that he would be beautiful and beautiful in the future. Day after day, he kept saying it in his ear, and slowly he actually believed it. In addition, Bai Haochen is also becoming more and more filial to him day by day, making him more and more towards that stepson
The more I like it. Even if his favorite concubine Hong gave birth to a son, he still firmly believed that only Bai Haochen was qualified to inherit his title.
Originally, he took these things for granted, and there was nothing wrong with them. But being sympathized with by the courtiers like this, he didn't feel good in his heart.
Seeing that Bai Xingyan's face was getting more and more gloomy, Ye's heart also rose. She didn't know what happened to Bai Xingyan to be like this, but it didn't seem to be a trivial matter. So he cautiously asked, "Master, if there is something unpleasant, can you tell me about it?" ”
Bai Xingyan looked up at her, and wanted to scold Ye Shi to vent, but he didn't dare.
The courtiers were right, he was indeed afraid of the Ye family.
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of the court, don't worry too much." In the end, he took the initiative to comfort Ye's, and grabbed Ye's hand and said to her, "We have been married for many years, and I respect you and love you from the bottom of my heart." Ye Shi was happy in his heart, and quickly shook it back, and said with a little excitement on his face: "The concubine body is too, and all the people in my heart are masters." No matter what difficulties the master encounters outside, the concubine is willing to do her best to help the master resolve it. In this life, the concubine is destined to be tied to the master
Yes, if you prosper and I prosper, I will never live if you die. ”
Her words made Bai Xingyan's heart soften again, and the grass on the wall in his heart began to sway from side to side again, and he began to think that the courtiers must have been instigated by traitors to provoke their family, because they saw that their family was doing too well, and the queen mother was sitting in the rear, and her eyes were red.
Seeing that his face was softened, Ye Shi quickly began to say good things and coax him again, and also let the maid serve the meal, and the soup was fed to him by himself.
Bai Xingyan made her feel very comfortable, and the unhappiness in the palace was quickly put behind, and she wanted to be affectionate and affectionate while holding Ye. But the Ye family came to the monthly letter today, which was really inconvenient, so he could only push the person away helplessly. Seeing that Bai Xingyan's face was not good-looking, she rolled her eyes and made an idea......
