Bai Jinghao wore a peach-colored shirt and skirt, with only two beaded flowers in her hair, but the long-lived golden lock with the red gold passion pattern on her front was extremely conspicuous.

She walked in gracefully, different from the cowardice in the past, and knelt on the carpet and kowtowed after entering the house, "My granddaughter greets her grandmother, and wishes her grandmother a long and healthy life, and everything goes well." ”

When the old lady is old, she likes the younger generation to dress brightly and festively, and she really fits her heart today.

But when she saw Bai Jinghao, she thought of her mother, so no matter how pleasing the dress was, she couldn't be kind, so she raised her hand and responded coldly: "Get up." ”

Bai Jing thanked her, and the second lady who was sitting next to her was blessed, "I've seen the second aunt." ”

Chen smiled kindly, "Ah Hao is here, don't be polite, how is your body?" ”

Bai Jing replied politely: "Second Aunt Xie cares, and her niece is very good." ”

After the words fell, she looked at the old lady again, and saw that the other party was not looking at her at all as before, so Bai Jinghao grabbed her words before she spoke to let herself step down: "The granddaughter is incompetent, I wanted to pick lotus flowers to celebrate your birthday yesterday, but it backfired, and the second sister was not to say it, and it disturbed your birthday banquet." Today, I came to confess my sins, and I asked my grandmother not to blame. ”

The old lady was unhappy, it was her birthday, but everyone ran to care about her granddaughter. This kind of big day, making a lot of trouble, doesn't it touch her moldy head?

She looked at it with a straight face, and just wanted to admonish a few words, but she saw the longevity golden lock on the collar in front of Bai Jinghao's body, and her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she remembered.

Chen Shi caught this line of sight, and knew it in his heart, raised his hand and beckoned to Bai Jinghao, and said with a smile: "You are filial, the old lady will not blame you, good boy, come forward and speak." Look, our eldest lady looks a lot more peugeot, and she is dressed up in spirit today, although the headdress is a little simpler, but my aunt looks at you This longevity gold lock is very extraordinary, and it is a little familiar......"

She looked back at the old lady before she continued, "I remember that you seem to have the same golden lock in your drawer, slightly larger than this one. ”

Bai Jinghao replied in a low voice: "Grandfather said that this longevity lock is a pair. After speaking, he looked at the old lady cautiously.

The old lady was reminded of the past, her face softened a little, and she looked at Chen and explained: "This is when the old lady was young, he was ordered to go to Shandong on an errand, and when he returned to Beijing, he brought this set of longevity locks, one for me, and the other for Ah Yu. ”

Ah Yu, that is, Bai Yu, Bai Jinghao's biological mother.

Bai Jinghao took the opportunity to bow her head and said softly: "It's all granddaughter's bad, I remember that my grandfather liked me to wear this gold lock the most when he was alive, and he didn't hold back for a while and wore it, which made my grandmother sad, and it was my granddaughter's unfilial piety." ”

After being widowed, the old lady will always feel that the years have passed, and she will often miss the past.

What's more, the old lady had a deep love for her before her death, and this time she sighed in her heart, and said emotionally: "So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the old lady and your mother are gone......"

Bai Jing didn't dare to answer, but Chen comforted him: "You are now full of children and grandchildren, and you are enjoying the happiness of the old lady." ”

She said and looked at Bai Jinghao again, and said with a distressed face: "It's a pity that you kid just returned to Pinmei Xuan and didn't have a few decent jewelry, and when the shopkeeper of Jinbao Zhai came to the house to deliver jewelry, my aunt asked your fourth sister and fifth sister to choose two for you." ”

The lady of the long room needs the second room to take care of it, and the second lady is deliberately squeezing the eldest lady. Bai Jing understood it, but she still thanked her politely.

The old lady also heard clearly, and looked up and down at the girl in front of her, her face white and thin. After all, she is a young lady in the house, and she only wears two beaded flowers and goes out, which is really not presentable!

She said solemnly: "Second daughter-in-law, you run to Rongfu Hall for me, since the eldest girl has moved back to Pinmeixuan, she also showed her face in front of all your relatives yesterday, and His Royal Highness also ordered the imperial doctor to come to the house to take care of it, and there will always be people moving between the mansions in the future." Ask your sister-in-law to send back all the things that she kept on her behalf, and then take care of the needlework in the house to make her a few new clothes. ”

Chen immediately responded: "Yes, my daughter-in-law wrote it down." ”

Bai Jinghao bowed to the old lady again and thanked her, and presented the picture scroll she brought, "My granddaughter accidentally found this painting when she was packing up Mei Xuan last night, and it is her mother's old belongings. My granddaughter had asked my grandfather before, and he told her that it was a painting that my mother had painted when she was a child. The granddaughter knew that her grandmother missed her grandfather, so she offered this painting as a birthday gift with flowers, hoping that her grandmother would be happy. ”

The old lady was excited when she heard this, and raised her hand at the scroll, "Quick, show me." ”

Bai Jing didn't wait for the maid to step forward, and walked over to unfold the painting on the kang table. In the painting, it is indeed the old lady when she was young, she was gentle and elegant, and she was enjoying the snow with her youngest daughter in the garden.

The old lady raised her hand and stroked the scroll, "Yes, he painted it, I don't know ......"

Chen hurriedly boasted: "The old lady had an outstanding demeanor when she was young, no wonder the old lady and you have such a good relationship." ”

Where did the old lady still have the heart to take care of them again, so Mama Su stepped forward and asked them to go back first.

Chen stood up and left with Bai Jinghao.

When she walked outside the courtyard, Bai Jing thanked her: "It's really thanks to the second aunt, if it weren't for you, the old lady might not have made the decision for me." ”

Chen turned around and asked the maids to follow from a distance, and then looked at Bai Jinghao with scrutiny, and asked curiously, "What is the reason why the eldest lady finally understands and knows how to fight?" ”

Bai Jinghao knew that the Chen family was unwilling to be oppressed by the eldest lady all the year round, and she once hinted at herself, but at that time, she only wanted Mingzhe to protect her life and rejected her.

Hearing this at this moment, she saluted again, and replied in a half-truthful tone: "If I tell the second aunt now that I fell into the lotus pond yesterday, it was the second lady who led me over and wanted to put me to death, can the second aunt believe it?" ”

Chen smiled shrewdly, and answered sharply: "Believe, why don't you believe it?" The second young lady wants to be the princess, but His Royal Highness loves you, of course she can't tolerate you. ”

Bai Jinghao knew that the person in front of him wanted the right to feed in the house, and said: "But the eldest lady is still in charge of the house, my life is scared, and the second aunt's life in the West Mansion is not satisfactory." ”

The two glanced at each other tacitly, and Chen sighed: "It's you who are stupid, in the past, when the old lady was there, you didn't know how to fight for more things for yourself, and you were driven to the small courtyard by your grandmother to suffer so much over the years." ”

"I lost my mother since I was a child, and I didn't have a father's heart, and my grandfather always wanted the family to be harmonious, but I didn't want to fight with them, and I didn't dare to fight. But people are pushed to the extreme, and they don't have so many scruples. ”

Chen watched her grow up, so he naturally understood the other party's experience, took her hand and patted her, and said: "The eldest lady performed very well today, and used a gold collar and an old painting to arouse the old lady's feelings for her husband." When the old lady thinks of the old lady, she will naturally think of the old lady's entrustment to her before she died, and she will never let the eldest lady treat you badly.

As long as you win her favor, your life in Shangshu Mansion will naturally be good in the future. The second aunt advised you to let go of the prejudices in your heart before, but you couldn't listen to it. ”

Bai Jing smiled bitterly when she heard this, "I never expected the old lady to like me one day, it is enough to keep me safe for a while." ”

Chen let go of her hand and persuaded: "You always feel that the old lady doesn't like your mother, but after all, you have been a mother and daughter for fourteen years, and you have grown up with thousands of pampered care for your mother, how can you really have no feelings?" Look at the old lady's face changed when she saw the golden lock and the painting, after all, if it wasn't for the aunt who came back to recognize her relatives, the old lady would not have kicked your mother out of the house in order to make up for her own daughter. ”

"I know, my mother has been a Miss Bai family for fourteen years by mistake, and it is reasonable that the old lady can't accept it for a while after learning the truth, I don't resent her." Bai Jing's voice was cold.

What she hated was never an old lady.
