Chapter 35: A dilemma

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Bai Jinghao was stared at by the whole family, her face was at a loss, but she was very annoyed by Shen Shikai in her heart.

He was afraid that he was too naΓ―ve, so he directly asked General Shen to come to the mansion to propose marriage. Don't say that your refusal is obvious, you really love each other, how can it be such a simple thing?

Bai Jinghao quietly looked at Bai Qingping, and saw that her face was blue, obviously in the dark.

Shen Shikai is like this, which will undoubtedly only cause trouble for himself.

Bai Qingping was stunned for a while before getting up, tugging at the corner of her husband's clothes and saying, "The master is afraid that you will get drunk after eating too much, so the concubine will help you go to the side room to rest for a while." ”

Although she is close to her mother's family, she has held the lintel since she married into the General's Mansion, how can she still look down on the niece of the Bai family, and Shen Shikai is her only son, so she only hates to return to the mansion for him as a princess or county lord.

At this time, Qin Rou and her had a tacit understanding, and instructed the maids around her to guide the way.

Seeing this, Shen Shikai was so anxious that he stood up and called "mother", but before he could say anything, he was glared back, so he had to throw himself at his father earnestly again.

Although Shen Rui had come back to his senses, his gaze still stayed on Bai Jinghao from time to time.

Bai Jinghao's cheeks were red, not shy, but angry.

She worked hard to please her, and finally won the favor of her grandmother and father, and seeing that her life in the mansion had taken a turn for the better, Shen Shikai disrupted her plans.

Qin Rou is nominally Bai Jinghao's mother-in-law, and she naturally has the right to speak up about the marriage matching, Wen Yan said: "Don't make fun of the juniors, although Jinghao is a concubine, she is also loved by the lord and the old lady and grew up, and this is included in the general's mansion as a side room, I'm afraid it will be too aggrieved." You see that the nephew of Shikai is young and handsome, and he should have a better match for the high-ranking ladies. ”

Bai Qingping knew what she said when she heard this, and hurriedly and cleverly cooperated: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Jinghao is my niece, even if she marries the main house in the next life, I will treat her well." ”

Shen Shikai blushed and said hurriedly: "Mother, I don't want my sister to be a side room. ”

"When the elders speak, how can you speak?" Bai Qingping gritted her teeth and drank him.

Old Madam Bai and Bai Sheng were originally overjoyed, but when they heard that it was a side room, they both lowered their faces one after another.

The daughter of Shangshu Mansion, who is a concubine for others?

"It's a good thing to be close to each other, but Jing Hao is still young, I still want to keep her for two more years, my aunt's kindness, our Bai family is afraid that we will live up to it." The old lady replied.

Shen Rui was not in a state at all when he saw Bai Jinghao, as if he was out of the world, or his mother-in-law's voice changed his thoughts.

He inexplicably glanced at the few women around him, and said seriously: "Mother-in-law may have misunderstood, how can my Shen family care about the family of the family?" I begged for Shikai to marry Jinghao, so naturally I married my wife. ”

Bai Qingping's face was flustered, and she hurriedly shouted: "Master! For such a big matter, why don't you discuss it with the concubine in advance? ”

She turned around and glared at Shen Shikai dissatisfied, and said unhappily: "Shikai, did you instigate your father to come?" ”

Shen Shikai was silent.

Shen Rui didn't look at her much, and said lightly: "Shi Kai said that he has already made up his mind with you." ”

"Master, what does Shikai know, the child is just angry for a while, and he can't be serious."

Shen Shikai was not afraid of death: "Mother, I'm serious." ”

"And give me some quiet, this kind of big matter has your own mother to decide for you." Bai Qingping was furious.

Shen Rui was displeased: "How can you be a mother like this?" It's better to have a favorite person to accompany you in this life than anything else, your son likes it, what are you trying to stop it? ”

He has always been open-minded and clear-minded, and he only pays attention to his mind in everything, regardless of external factors, just like when he came to Baifu to propose marriage for himself.

This is also what Old Madam Bai admires him the most, and she immediately smiled.

Bai Qingping had scruples, but she still insisted in a low voice: "But in this matter, the concubine feels that it is not appropriate, so let's discuss it after returning home." ”

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she was disappointed. She felt sorry for this long-lost daughter for so many years, but she didn't expect that she actually disliked the Bai family in her heart!

Shen Rui felt that she was noisy, and said without anger: "She is your maiden niece, what can be wrong?" Shikai likes it, this is the most appropriate, I have already opened my mouth to my mother-in-law and eldest brother, they haven't expressed their position yet, what are you doing with so many ideas, and you have to go back to the house to discuss it? ”

Bai Qingping saw that he was really annoyed with herself, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

Shen Shiyan is used to seeing her parents like this, she glanced at Bai Jinghao meaningfully, and muttered to the brother next to her: "Brother, this time you cut first and then play, and your mother will definitely punish you when she returns home." ”

Shen Shikai didn't say a word.

"I wonder what my mother-in-law and eldest brother think?"

Shen Rui didn't save face for Bai Qingping on the spot, she couldn't be persuaded as a wife, and Qin Rou couldn't say anything to her aunt anymore, she also looked at the old lady and her husband.

The old lady learned about her grandson's affection for her eldest granddaughter as early as the day of her birthday banquet last month, and she didn't expect any results, but her son-in-law was a cheerful person who came to ask for marriage, and she was happy.

However, after all, it was inconvenient for the old lady to make her own decisions, so she looked at her eldest son: "Sheng'er, you are a quiet father, what do you think?" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Sheng, and only Bai Qingping kept giving Qin Rou a look.

Qin Rou thought quickly and reminded in a low voice: "Master, don't forget the East Palace. ”

Now that Emperor Du Guifei has frequently shown affection, after analyzing the court situation, the husband and wife also intend to match Bai Jinyao to the sixth prince Liu Qin as the step-princess.

After all, rumors have spread outside, and even if the crown princess and His Royal Highness the crown grandson are willing to ask for Jin Yao again, it is impossible to treat each other as concubines.

But the East Palace must not be offended, but fortunately, His Royal Highness Taisun originally liked Bai Jinghao.

If Bai Jinghao entered the East Palace as Bai Jinyao's subordinate, and the two daughters were posted in, Bai Sheng would naturally not agree. But if you only send Bai Jing to the past, it is not impossible.

Qin Rou's selfish thoughts still planned to give Bai Jinghao to His Royal Highness the Taisun as a good appeasement. In this way, even if the sixth prince of the day really does what the Bai family wishes, the one in the East Palace is just a concubine, and if she dies, she will die.

Bai Sheng listened to her words, and after understanding the deep meaning, he hesitated.

Shen Shi was nervous in happiness, and his eyes were worried.

Shen Shiyan was smart and well versed in her eldest aunt's temperament, so she smiled and opened her lips and said: "The Bai family and our Shen family were originally in-laws, and now my father personally came to the door to propose marriage for my brother, and the eldest uncle has been thinking about it for so long, does it mean that he can't look down on my brother?" Or does it mean that Cousin Jinghao has a better place to go, more decent than being the young lady of our Shen family? ”

"Se-yeon!"

Bai Qingping got angry, walked over and dragged her daughter behind her, not allowing her to speak.

Shen Shiyan has finished saying everything, but she is also well-behaved.

Shen Rui is a military general, so he asked directly: "Uncle, don't you agree?" ”

Bai Sheng was in a dilemma, he couldn't offend the East Palace, but he didn't dare to offend this brother-in-law with a heavy army.
