Chenghua thirty-six years, midsummer.

The old lady of Shangshu Mansion celebrated her fiftieth birthday, and the mansion began to open up before dawn, firecrackers and gongs encouraged the lion to sing, and most of the dignitaries and dignitaries in Jinghua came, and it was very lively.

In the remote and dilapidated courtyard, Bai Jinghao was lying on the bed with a pale face, frowning slightly when he smelled the smell of medicine in the room, and saw Er Kite coming back from outside with a medicine bowl in his hand.

She closed her eyes, what a familiar scene.

Seeing that she really didn't go directly to the master bedroom but went to the next ear room, Bai Jinghao lifted the quilt and got up, picked up the vase that had been prepared a long time ago and hid behind the door.

Paying attention to the movement in the corridor, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and when Er Kite stepped in, the vase that Bai Jinghao was holding high smashed down on her, and the medicine bowl in the opponent's hand fell to the ground.

Xu is strength is insufficient, Er Kite trembled but did not fall, and when he turned around and saw Bai Jinghao, he was puzzled and had not shouted that the person was facing him again.

Seeing that she finally fainted and fell to the ground, Bai Jing breathed a sigh of relief, put the vase back in place in an orderly manner, took out the hemp rope that had been prepared long ago from under the bed, tied the kite and stuffed the veil, and moved it into the big wooden box in the corner of the wall, and the action was done in one go.

Everything was ready, Bai Jing lay back on the bed, her eyelids drooped, and she returned to her original weak appearance.

"Second Miss, be careful."

With the sound of reminders, Bai Jinyao walked into the courtyard with an umbrella from the maid.

Bai Jinyao is a concubine, but she lost her identity as the daughter of the Bai family because she was born five days late. However, she is the pearl of the eldest lady, and she is the princess's preferred candidate for the princess's grandson.

On a hot day, Bai Jing's good door didn't even have a curtain.

As soon as Bai Jinyao arrived at the door, the maid next to her said in a sharp voice: "Ouch, what's going on, no one has cleaned up the medicine bowl scattered on the ground, second miss, don't touch it carefully." ”

Bai Jinyao said softly, "It's okay", and asked internally: "Eldest sister, are you in the house?" ”

Bai Jing stood up, looked at Bai Jinyao's master and servant who had appeared at the door of the room but was still asking knowingly, and replied weakly: "Is it the second sister?" I'm here, you come in. He deliberately paused and coughed twice, and added: "Er Kite broke the bowl when he served me the medicine just now, and before he had time to clean it up, he went to the big kitchen to refill the medicine, you should be careful." ”

"I see." Bai Jinyao walked slowly to the bed, and said softly with concern: "This maid is too careless on an errand, delaying you from taking medicine, and I will tell my mother to let another clever maid come over to serve." ”

This kite is assigned by the eldest lady to serve, who is not the same? Bai Jinghao secretly sneered, but said with gratitude on her face: "How can the person dialed by the eldest lady be bad, I am not good, I was in a hurry to call her into the house, and she broke the bowl in a hurry." ”

"Haven't you drunk your medicine yet?" Bai Jinyao was thoughtful.

Bai Jinghao bowed slightly, squinted and gasped twice, as if she was extremely weak, and asked her for a long time: "The house is so busy today, there must be many noble daughters who need to be entertained, what is the so-called matter that the second sister came to me at this time?" ”

"That's the case, today is my grandmother's birthday, and you are the eldest granddaughter, how can you not go to congratulate you on your birthday?" Bai Jinyao said softly and softly: "But I see that you are so sick, so let's just stop." ”

Bai Jinghao immediately sat up, coughed twice because the action was too urgent, and his tone was helpless: "Second sister, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I haven't liked the old lady, and I'm afraid that she will be in a bad mood when she sees me." ”

"Sister, what are you talking about? You and I are both father's daughters, and we are both grandmothers' own granddaughters, although she was a little harsh with you in the past, but after all, if you can get up, you still have to go. ”

Whenever there is a banquet in Shangshu Mansion, Bai Jinghao, as the eldest lady who is not welcomed by everyone, has always said that she is sick and does not attend, and she has never seen Bai Jinyao personally invite her, not to mention that unless she is in front of people, she usually treats herself so politely.

If he hadn't known what was about to happen, Bai Jinghao would have believed her hypocritical face again.

Bai Jinyao saw her hesitating, and said: "The main banquet has dispersed, and now there is a drama in the Hanyu Hall, and the female relatives of some relatives and friends are talking with their grandmother, you don't have to be nervous in the past at this time, just kowtow to her old man and come back, and save your father from always saying that you are cowardly and timid, and not filial to your grandmother." ”

She has always been like this, and her words are not leaky, which makes it difficult for people to refuse.

The identities of the two are different from each other in the mansion or in Beijing, and it is precisely because of this that Bai Jing couldn't think of the other party's motive for killing her, so she simply thought that she wanted to use herself to show her elegance and gentleness in public to gain fame, so she went with her without defense.

But this time, she clearly revealed to the other party that she had not taken the decoction with the drug, but Bai Jinyao still insisted on the invitation. Why did she have to kill herself?

Bai Jing looked at her and nodded: "Then there is Second Sister Lao, wait a minute, I'll change my clothes and go." ”

Bai Jinyao smiled happily and patted her hand gently, "I know that the second sister is filial to her grandmother." Hua Sui, you come to serve the eldest lady to change clothes. ”

Hua Sui reluctantly stepped forward to serve Bai Jinghao, and her movements were particularly perfunctory, so she felt that people who were about to die didn't have to do their best.

Bai Jing thanked her and went out with Bai Jinyao.

As soon as she got out of the small courtyard, Bai Jinyao asked again: "By the way, grandmother's birthday, does the eldest sister have prepared a gift?" ”

Bai Jing showed a look of embarrassment as she wished.

"Actually, grandmother cares about the younger generation and doesn't value these things, but since you go, you always have to talk about your heart, are you right?"

Bai Jinghao asked, "Then according to the meaning of the second sister, what should I give?" ”

"Grandmother likes lotus, why don't I accompany my eldest sister to the lotus pond to pick a new lotus, and when you give it to grandmother, she will definitely be happy." Bai Jinyao's face was full of kindness.

Bai Jing bowed her head, "Listen to the second sister." ”

The scorching sun is scorching, the clear water is clear, the lotus flowers on the water are gorgeous, the green leaves are in the sky, there are occasionally koi playing in the water, the scenery is excellent.

However, the lotus pond is located behind the rockery, even if the scenery is good, no one will come here to walk in such a hot noon. What's more, even if someone wants to come, they will definitely be sent away by Bai Jinyao, because there is no trace at the moment.

Hua Sui held an umbrella for Bai Jinyao, this time there was no kite with her, and no one helped her cover herself from behind and push herself into the pool, Bai Jing wanted to know how she was going to do it.

"Eldest sister, what do you think of that one over there? It's right next to the water stairs, and it's not difficult to pick. Bai Jinyao pointed to a lotus flower by the water and called her to look.

Bai Jinghao was beside her, and asked the probe, "Which one?" ”

As soon as she asked, she felt a push next to her, Bai Jing had been prepared for a long time, and quickly grabbed Bai Jinyao and fell into the water together.

Hua Sui's panicked cry came from the shore: "Second Miss! Come on, the second lady has fallen into the water! ”

Unlike Bai Jinghao, Bai Jinyao doesn't know water.

She just showed her head and wanted to struggle, but Bai Jinghao dragged her down in the water. Bai Jinyao, who has always been dignified and dignified, was embarrassed, fluttering the pond water and shouting for help.

Bai Jing said kindly, if you don't push me, I won't pull you, I will report it back.
