Chapter Seventy-Nine

After the diagnosis of the doctor, it was repeatedly confirmed that Zhao Yinlan was pregnant, not to mention how happy the general Bai Zhanqi was, it can be said that having a son in life can be described as a great joy in life, and it seems that there is nothing happier than this right now. Bai Zhanqi was happy, the first sentence was sentenced to life imprisonment with the birth in Zhao Yinlan's belly, she was still the general's concubine, and everyone in the house had to call her Aunt Zhao.

Bai Zhanqi even made an exception to take Zhao Yinlan to live in his study, and accompanied her every day, before that, except for him in the study, there was not even a girl to serve, and he hurriedly cleaned Zhao Yinlan's original residence, and went back to live after everything was taken care of. But that's it, Zhao Yinlan still cried, and in front of Bai Zhanqi, she said that she was a little wronged and didn't care, the key was not to wronged the child in her belly. It is said that a husband and wife are a hundred days, not to mention that Zhao Yinlan has been with her for so long, not to mention that she has suffered so much, and now she still has her own flesh and blood in her stomach, Bai Zhanqi finally couldn't bear to treat her lightly, so according to Zhao Yinlan's explanation, the original house was repainted, the house from the curtain on the bed to the cups, chopsticks for drinking tea, tables and stools, all replaced with new ones, and people also spread red gold silk cotton wool, red pillows and sheets on the bed, and hung red silk everywhere in the house, and the whole house was full of joy, It's like being newly married. Bai Zhanqi was really happy, Zhao Yinlan said whatever she wanted, and she did what she was told, all according to her.

Bai Zhanqi has five daughters in his life, and the youngest daughter was very reluctant because of Bai Qingrui's return that time, and Mrs. Mu had to send the youngest daughter back to her parents' house to raise. Originally, he was so old, he only thought that he could serve the court for the rest of his life, be his Jianwei general, do his best to be loyal to the saint, loyal to the court, and resign from his official position after a few years when his body is not strong, and live a stable life from now on. Unexpectedly, God gave him new hope, and his life seemed to be alive again.

Sitting alone in the house, staring at the window in a daze, the wind blowing in outside, blowing the brocade curtain on the window trembling slightly, the sky in the distance was white and shining, the weather was really good. I didn't feel happy at all, I always felt depressed in my heart, like a big stone pressing on my heart, making me breathless, whether it was because of Zhao Yinlan, or because of Jun'er, or something else, I don't know. Suddenly, I felt like I had woven a web in my heart, like a spider spinning silk and weaving a web, dense, all kinds of intertwined, entangled me to death, and it was difficult for me to breathe.

Ai'er watered the pomegranate trees and flowers in the yard, and after watering, he turned around and entered the house with a small wooden barrel, and when he entered the door, he somehow hit the door frame, and when he let go, the wooden barrel slammed on the ground, and my heart exploded, and I jumped non-stop, Ai'er grinned, and quickly picked up the wooden barrel and entered the side room, and after a while, I heard a crisp sound from the side room, which scared me again.

I got angry, got up from my chair as soon as I got up, and yelled loudly, "What are you doing, frizzy, and don't let people be quiet for a while." After yelling, I sat down again, very angry, I don't know who I'm angry with, picked up the pu fan on the table and ate a manganese fan, the hair on my forehead rose with the wind, and I didn't bother to care.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir, it's all my fault, it's always going wrong today." Ai'er ran out of the home remedies as she spoke. Seeing that I was holding a fan that was dying, I knew that I was in a bad mood, and after several temptations, I finally asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you, who are you so angry with?"

I said unhappily, "Who else, of course it's you, isn't it a day or two, can't you be more careful in doing things?"

Ai'er hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, sir, I was wrong", and hurriedly ran to my side, took the pu fan from my hand, and fanned the wind one by one, and did not forget to joke, "Sir, it is obvious that Ai'er provoked you, but you took the pu fan to vent your anger, how wronged this pu fan should be, this fan, you can't use brute force, you have to fan slowly, the effect is good."

Thinking that I am still a bachelor of Huide Sect who was personally enshrined by the Holy Lord, I was speechless today by a girl, and I pretended to have something in my heart, and it would be shown on my face, even Ai'er could see it, I shook my head self-deprecatingly, Su Feifei, Su Feifei, you are so good.

Ai'er fanned me, and I asked, "What's going on today, I'm restless, and I'm reckless in doing things."

Ai'er sighed, "Hey, it's not because Aunt Zhao is obviously locked in the dungeon, losing her free body for the rest of her life, just waiting to die in the dungeon where she doesn't see the light of day, but how can she be released inexplicably, what's even more incredible is that she is still pregnant, it's a big joke in the world, why is Aunt Zhao's life so good, one leg has already stepped into the ghost gate, hey, in a blink of an eye, people have become aunts again, the crow becomes a phoenix The fate is really a trick on people, I'm afraid that those of us who are girls will suffer again in the future, The slightest mistake can lead to verbal abuse and even beatings."

I said in my heart, Zhao Yinlan is not so easy to provoke, this time I can turn over, I am afraid it is deliberate, premeditated, long-planned, the cold and dark dungeon has locked her up for more than three years, she can endure the pain of these three years of prison, just to one day be able to regain her freedom, once again stand under the sun, accept the baptism of the sun, this state of mind really makes me admire, if she is not so domineering, vicious, and dedicated, I will definitely make her a friend, maybe from the moment I came to Baifu, Zhao Yinlan and I are destined to go in opposite directions and go farther and farther in our respective directions.

I said, "In the future, you will have nothing to do in Baifu, and you don't have to be afraid of her when you meet Zhao Yinlan, the so-called body is not afraid of shadows, as long as you do your duty and don't provoke right and wrong, she doesn't dare to do anything to you girls."

Ai'er lowered her head and didn't say a word in a sullen voice.

I asked Ai'er again, "Where is Ziran?"

Ai'er replied while fanning me, "Young Master Ziran treated Jun'er in the twelfth young man's mansion in the morning, and went to see Mrs. Mu after noon, but now I'm afraid that she is still in the front hall."

I sighed, "Who asked Ziran to go to see Mrs. Mu."

Ai'er said, "It was the twelfth young man who let the young master Ziran pass, early this morning, the fourth young lady went to the twelfth young man's house to invite the young master Ziran to come over, saying that Mrs. Mu's heart hurt last night, and the general was not there, and Mrs. Mu in the middle of the night didn't want to alarm the people in the house, and said that it might be good to endure it, but who knew that it still hurt badly in the morning, and the fourth lady hurriedly ran to invite Young Master Ziran." The twelfth young man immediately agreed, he said that Jun'er would have him and the young lady to take care of it, and let the fourth young lady quickly take the young master Ziran to see Mrs. Mu's illness."

Mrs. Mu's heart hurts, but I am afraid that she will also be angry with the general and Zhao Yinlan, how can she bear such a thing.

Ai'er was fanning me slowly with a fan in her hand, and as soon as I stretched out my hand, she immediately stopped and asked me, "Sir, what's wrong?"

I said, "No, I have to go see Mrs. Mu." As soon as he walked, he got up from his chair and walked briskly towards Mrs. Mu's house.

Halfway I met Eleven Shao, in the long Lang Ting, he came from this end, I came from that end, we looked at each other, and then smiled faintly, to be honest, I really couldn't laugh at the moment, but seeing Eleven Shao smiling at me, I had to smile back politely.

I haven't seen Eleven Young for a long time, and when I'm idle, I once stood at the east end of the courtyard and looked at Eleven Shao's house, either I couldn't see anyone else, or I saw him squatting at the foot of the courtyard wall.

The two got closer and closer, and I bowed slightly and said with a smile, "Eleven is good."

Eleven Shao nodded with a smile and asked, "Sir, where are you going?"

I said, "Go and see Mrs. Mu, I heard that Mrs. Mu had a heartache last night and hurt all night."

Eleven Shao did not shy away from saying, "Sister-in-law, this is a heart disease, she should have thought that there would be such a day, sister-in-law is too kind and too good to my eldest brother."

I was puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?"

Eleven Shao said lightly, "Have you ever heard of raising a tiger for trouble, the eldest brother has no son in his life, and the sister-in-law knows that she is old, and she has given birth to five daughters in a row, but I am afraid that it will be difficult again。。。。。。 Actually, there's nothing wrong with the eldest brother wanting a son."

As soon as I heard the anger, I didn't fight in one place, looked at the haystack on the side, kicked it over, and said a little unhappily, "Eleven Shao's words are bad, Mrs. Mu has been married into the White Mansion for decades, and she has been diligent all her life. Mrs. Mu was sick for a night last night and didn't see his figure, how can he be worthy of Mrs. Mu when he does this, don't say it's Mrs. Mu, even I, an outsider, feel a little chilled when I see it, it's really not as good as a beast."

Eleven Shao's face flashed gloomy, but he was not angry, he hurriedly said, "What Mr. said is also true, decades of husband and wife, the eldest brother is indeed a little too much for the sister-in-law, but can the gentleman look at my face, don't say such ugly words, after all, no matter how the general is, he is also the brother of my compatriot."

I chuckled and said twice, "I forgot, the eleventh young man and the general are close brothers, today I have no mouth to hide, if there is any offense to the eleventh young man, please don't blame the eleventh young man." Then I put my hands together and leaned slightly to apologize to him.

Eleven Shao stretched out his arms to help me, "What is this doing, sir, I just said it casually, and I didn't mean to blame Mr."

I said, "What the eleventh young man said just now is right, in this white mansion, if I don't rely on Mrs. Mu's care for me, how can I live in peace, I will be cautious in the future, and I don't dare to say anything more."

Eleven Shao also looked at the haystack on the side, and after we were silent for a while, he said, "Mr. could have lived a worry-free life, why don't you give him a chance, and give yourself a chance."

My heart trembled slightly, and I hurriedly turned my head and said, "I don't understand what Eleven Shao said, I don't know what happened to Mrs. Mu after coming out for so long, I'll go and see, Eleven Shao, please take it." Without looking back, I trotted out of the long corridor.

After a few days, Mrs. Mu lost a lot of weight, her eyes were blue, there was no blood on her face, and her hair was unkempt. When I went, Mrs. Mu was lying on the bed, resting with her eyes closed, Qingrui was sitting on the stool next to the bed and crying silently.

I nodded at Bai Qingrui and asked softly, "How is Mrs. Mu, why are you the only one here, Doctor Yintang."

Bai Qingrui said, "Doctor Yin Tang came to see Ah Niang in the morning, and said that Ah Niang's heart hurt because she was in a hurry, and her blood and qi were blocked, so she prescribed medicine, and then, and then she was called away by the soldiers sent by Daddy, saying that she asked Doctor Yin Tang to go over and give Zhao Yinlan a safe pulse, I can't stop it, I'm really useless."

After Bai Qingrui finished speaking, she began to whimper silently again, and I stepped forward to hug her. I heard Mrs. Mu call me, "Is it sir?"

"It's me, ma'am." I hurriedly walked over and held Mrs. Mu's hand, and said, "Madam, how are you feeling now, are you better, is your heart still hurting?"

Mrs. Mu's weak voice comforted me, "I'm fine, people are old and useless, and if you talk about your illness, you will be sick."

My eyes were hot, and I said with teary eyes, "Madam, don't say anything now, just let yourself get better as soon as possible, and you still need to be controlled up and down the house."

Mrs. Mu sneered, her eyes were a little more desolate, and she said, "What's the use of taking care of it well, my life is all for Baifu, for the general, no matter how good I do, I can't match a son after all, if you want to blame me, I only blame myself for not being angry, and I can't give birth to a son."

Bai Qingrui screamed, "Auntie, what are you talking about, if you say this, it's better to call me to die, what's wrong with my daughter, isn't my daughter the child of you and Daddy."

Mrs. Mu said, "No matter how many daughters there are, they can't afford a son."

Bai Qingrui said, "Since my daughter is so useless, I'll die, and save you trouble."

Bai Qingrui raised her leg and was about to rush out to ask when I stopped her, Mrs. Mu shouted, "You unfilial girl", and then sighed, covered her chest and leaned on the bed.

Bai Qingrui and I rushed to Mrs. Mu's bed almost at the same time, Bai Qingrui was already crying, and said in a voice, "A-Niang, I'm sorry for you, you are angry." While caressing Mrs. Mu's chest.

After a while, Mu Fu relieved herself, she gently touched Bai Qingrui's head, and said, "Until now, A-Niang doesn't expect anything else, just ask God to bless my daughters well." She took Bai Qingrui's hand, patted it gently, and said, "Mu Jin, this kid I look pretty good, although it is said that he is a pro, although he doesn't say much, but he is sincere, I listened to Mr. and asked him to come to the house a few more times, and I didn't see anything else, you have also seen it, if you feel that you are still satisfied, settle it as soon as possible."

Bai Qingrui shouted Ah Niang, but seeing that Mrs. Mu covered her chest and coughed a few times, she swallowed back the words and replied, "Everything is up to Ah Niang, Rui'er has no opinion."

Mrs. Mu smiled a little at this time, brushed Bai Qingrui's face again, and said again and again, "That's good, Rui'er."

Under Mrs. Mu's arrangement, the adults of the two families sat down together for a meal, and Bai Qingrui and Mu Jin's family affairs were settled, because there is no Lichun this year, commonly known as the Year of the Widow, also known as the Year of the Slippery Head, and it is not suitable for marriage. The two families got together to discuss, and finally agreed that in April and May next year, they would choose an auspicious day for Bai Qingrui and Mu Jin to get married.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, it was November in a blink of an eye, the weather gradually became colder, the leaves on the trees fell layer after layer, I sat in the Langting, in front of the steep rockery, gurgling water, there was a leaf from the sky and landed on me, I took the leaves in my hand and turned to the sky, the leaves are turning, the sky is turning, the earth is turning, I am also turning, everything is turning.

I still remember that I used to be next to this rockery with Seventeen Shao, and the two of us were blowing around with a leaf, looking at whose hand this small leaf fell, even if we lost, we ran around this rockery several times, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner. Later, we poured water from the pool on each other, we poured and watered, and then I fell into the pool, and the fourteenth and seventeenth young jumped into the pool to save me, everything is vivid, how happy we were at that time, why can't I feel a little happy now, I should be happy, isn't Ziran already by my side, what am I still looking forward to, I don't know.

A person played with the leaves, very boring, and sat alone for a long time, got up and prepared to go back, heard that there seemed to be movement behind the rockery, tiptoed quietly to go around to the back of the rockery, and saw Bai Qingrui holding a stone in his hand, is throwing it into the pool.

I squatted beside Bai Qingrui, and saw that there were several stones piled up in front of her, and she was throwing them into the pool one by one, so I picked one up and threw it into the water.

I only heard a cooing sound, which frightened Bai Qingrui's feet, and exclaimed, "It turned out to be Mr. Su, standing behind me without any movement, it's not shallow to scare me."

I smiled and quipped, "What's the matter, I didn't expect that Miss Baifu, who has always been at ease, now has something on her mind."

Bai Qingrui's cheeks turned red, and she quickly lowered her head and said, "Mr. is making fun of me."

I said, "Make fun of you, how dare I, you are the fourth lady of Baifu, the pearl of Mrs. Mu and the general."

Bai Qingrui said sadly, "I believe that I am the pearl of A-Niang's palm, if I say that it is Daddy's, how can it be, who doesn't know that he is now being fascinated by Zhao Yinlan, where is my daughter in his heart."

I said again, "Don't talk angry, you are the fourth lady who is rightfully named, and no one can replace you."

Bai Qingrui suddenly grabbed me and said, "Sir, what I'm most worried about now is A-Niang, if I get married, and my little sister is not by A-Niang's side, A-Niang doesn't even have a person to say considerately, my heart is so sad."

I comforted her and said, "Men should get married, women should get married, it's just right, not to mention that we are not small, we are going to marry after all, as long as you are happy, as long as you are happy, Mrs. Mu will be relieved, but are you really satisfied with this family business."

That day, when Mrs. Mu asked Bai Qingrui if she was satisfied with Mu Jin, I saw that Bai Qingrui had something to say, but Mrs. Mu was sick at that time, so Bai Qingrui didn't say anything, so I had to give up.

Bai Qingrui looked at me with a smile, she looked at me fixedly, and then asked me seriously, "Sir, have you ever really loved someone?"

I smiled faintly and replied affirmatively, "I have."

Bai Qingrui asked again, "It's my fourth uncle, right, not for anything else, just because you once fought hard to block a knife for him, if you don't love it to the bones, how can you save it with your life."

I chuckled, "Don't speculate, your fourth uncle and I are absolutely impossible in this life, if your words are heard by the young lady, how can it be good."

Bai Qingrui said, "Actually, I envy Mr., at least Mr. has been in love once in his life, I don't have such an experience, it's really a pity, Mu Jin is an honest man, I have only met him a few times, talked a few times, there is a feeling of an old husband and wife who have been together for decades, I am not afraid of Mr. jokes, when I am with him, even if he is close to me, it does not make me feel my heart beating, I don't know if it's because I'm old or what, but it's okay, Ordinary days are the most real, and they can last long, aren't they."

I looked at the fish swimming in the pond and said to myself, plain is true, thin water is love, and the fourth lady really understands it thoroughly.
