Chapter 63: Youthful Feelings
After Nuan Yue was punished, Bai Jinghao ordered Chunxiao to go to Lanyuan to reply, and ordered Chun Shi to invite Lang Zhong.
Late at night, Nuan Yue avoided the mother-in-law in the courtyard and kowtowed to the master bedroom, she was moved by the protection of the eldest lady during the day, "It's all slaves and maids who are useless, and they affect the eldest lady." β
Bai Jinghao let her get up, and sighed: "You were originally from the Hanyu Hall, and you have always been decent by the old lady's side, but I have suffered a lot after being on an errand here, and in the final analysis, I have caused you a lot of trouble." β
Nuan Yue hurriedly said: "The eldest lady is serious, the slave is a lowly person, and I don't deserve to say such things as you." β
Bai Jing was funny and asked her if she still had pain in her body.
Although measures have been taken, dozens of boards have been beaten down, and they will not be punished.
Nuan Yue shook her head and replied, "It doesn't hurt, Miss Xie cares." β
"Go back to the house and rest, you don't have to be an errand for a while, if you want to go back to see your father, you can go down in two days, and I will let someone send you back."
Nuan Yue retreated with a thousand thanks.
Qiao's mother came in with the lotus seed soup, and said while handing it to her: "This lotus seed was ordered by the old lady to be collected in the lotus pond a while ago, and she specially asked Leng Xing to send it." I asked people to boil the bowl, and the young lady tasted it. β
Bai Jing responded: "I'm very happy that she is willing to come forward for me today." β
"The old lady understands in her heart that the second lady has nothing to do, so she came to appease you." Qiao's mother smiled and said, "The eldest lady, mother and daughter, are not favored in front of her. β
"But there is also the Qin family."
Hearing Bai Jinghao answer like this, Qiao's mother sighed: "The Marquis of Zongyu Mansion has gone through a hundred years, and the title is hereditary, although it is not as powerful as those vassal kings who are far away, but the saint values these noble families, I am afraid it is not so easy to deal with." β
"I naturally know that these boudoir methods can't shake the Qin family, and the Qin family doesn't fall, their mother and daughter are always at ease." Bai Jinghao's tone was decadent, and the current situation was already on the same level as Qin Rou and Bai Jinyao.
"Miss ordered the spring to send the dim sum of the county lord of Qinglong to the Hanyu Hall early in the morning, isn't it just to remind the old lady to miss the face of the East Palace in front of the six kings?"
"Mom can see it."
Bai Jing's good thoughts were broken, so he said truthfully: "It's just because of me, with the old lady's temperament, at most, I feel distressed a few times afterwards, how can I be willing to go to Orchid Garden in person?" But the cause of this incident was that the dim sum sent by the county lord made the second sister feel unwell after eating, and if she delved into it, it was always bad to stab it in front of the six kings. β
Qiao's mother nodded and hesitated: "It's the second miss, she doesn't care about the Wei family at all." β
Now that Qin Rou's mother and son are all thinking about the Six Princes' Mansion, how can they think about the East Palace, where they have married the cousin of the Shen family as their concubine, and naturally they don't care about the dignity of the Wei family.
Two days later, Shen Shi opened the door.
The old lady understood his intention, and she also felt sorry for her grandson, so she called Bai Jing to Hanyutang, and deliberately took a nap to leave them in the hall to talk.
As soon as her grandmother left, Shen Shikai asked her anxiously: "Sister Jinghao, how are you, I heard that you were not in good health not long ago, but now it is even more important?" β
"Thank you cousin for your concern, it's almost better."
Seeing that she was distant and polite, Shen Shikai's eyes darkened slightly, and explained: "I heard Cousin Heng talk about you that day," he paused, and changed the poisoning he was about to say to a serious illness, "I am so worried that I can't wait to see you immediately, but there is something at home, and I can't leave." β
His voice grew softer, with self-reproach and guilt.
Bai Jing responded shallowly: "It's just a trivial matter, it's over." β
"It's not a trivial matter!"
Shen Shikai suddenly said urgently, stood up and said: "You must be very scared when you are in distress, even Cousin Heng blames me for not knowing, so you naturally blame me." β
Bai Jinghao shook his head and said in a serious tone: "Cousin thinks too much, I don't blame you." β
After she finished speaking, she held the tea cup of peach blossom and new porcelain and took a small sip.
Shen Shikai looked at her incredulously and muttered, "How can you not blame me, why don't you blame me?" β
Bai Jinghao raised his eyes, and met his gaze full of puzzlement.
Seeing Shen Shikai being so persistent, Bai Jing didn't answer and asked: "It's not my cousin's fault that I'm sick, why blame you?" What's more, my aunt has already sent someone to the house, what do I blame you for? β
doesn't mention marriage, they are also relatives, Bai Qingping hasn't forgotten the scene. The day after Bai Jinghao was found to be poisoned, a decent mother-in-law from the General's Mansion sent a number of rare medicinal materials.
For her illness, the good medicines in Pinmeixuan's small warehouse are almost catching up with the pharmacy in the front yard of the house.
But when Shen Shikai saw her indifferent appearance, he was even more depressed, and reminded: "But I, we are engaged." I'm my fiancΓ©, and you are seriously ill but you didn't come to see you, you should blame me......"
Bai Jinghao was a little impatient, put down the teacup, looked at him and said, "Cousin, there are so many people and so many things in this world, how can there be anything that should not be done." If I really want to talk about it, if something happens to me in my own home, should I be? β
"Y-Why do you say that?" Shen Shikai's eyes were injured, with a little strangeness.
"That's true. If I were angry and blamed you just because you didn't come to see me, would I be able to change my situation that day? When you come, won't you make trouble for my uncle's family and make decisions for me, or what? β
Seeing that the other party was looking at him in amazement, Bai Jinghao continued: "Since you won't, then what's the difference between you coming and not coming?" So, it won't be of any use to blame you other than to make me uncomfortable, so why should I blame you? β
She understood so clearly, Shen Shikai stood stiffly in place, and wanted to argue a few words, but after all, she had to deny that what she said was the truth. Bai Heng quietly told him that the matter was done by Aunt Qin, and as a nephew, could the younger generation still be harsh on the elders, right?
He couldn't.
It doesn't make a difference whether you come or not.
After a long time, he spoke up again: "But if I came to see you and accompanied you in your illness, wouldn't you be happy?" β
Bai Jing seemed to have heard a joke, her smile was so bright and dazzling, her eyes were even more clear and clear, but her voice was indifferent and indifferent: "I was only thinking about my life at the time, what does it matter if I am happy or not." Cousin, I'm not the eldest lady of the Bai family who secretly cried and sought your comfort when I was robbed of something by my second sister when I was a child. β
Shen Shikai choked and couldn't speak anymore.
He left Shangshu Mansion in despair, and his mind was full of the last few words of Sister Jinghao, she meant that she didn't need herself anymore, did she?
After a few more days, Bai Qingping came to the door angrily and went straight to Pinmeixuan.
Seeing Bai Jinghao, she scolded her fiercely, "What did you say to my family, he came to see you with all his heart that day, and after he went back, he was locked up at home and didn't think about eating." A spiritual character like my son was angry with you all the time, but you gave me an explanation! β
