Chapter 10: The Fiancé
"Miss, haven't you cleaned up yet?" Dongmei called impatiently outside the house: "Madame's side is waiting, you have to ......hurry up."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Shuangshuang walked out with the support of Chun Tao and Cai Sang, wearing an elegant moon-white skirt with a red fox fur cloak.
Dongmei frowned. She originally thought that the white frost was just drinking a medicine, but she didn't expect that the white frost had changed into a dress, which looked like she had never seen before. Originally, Bai Shuangshuang's face was pale, but with such a set of clothes, it showed a delicate color, which made people feel pity.
Dongmei married in with her wife, so she naturally knew what her wife was doing when she called the eldest lady over at this time. It's nothing more than wanting to let the second young master Cheng see with his own eyes how weak and poor the eldest lady of the Bai family, who once had a marriage contract with him, when the white frost has not yet recovered. Only in this way can Cheng Ruohan have the idea of marrying Mingzhu.
"Miss, something bad has happened in the White Mansion now, you are still sick, and it is really not appropriate to dress like this. The eldest lady should go in and change into one, and then go with the slave maid. Dongmei found a reason, and it didn't matter whether it was reasonable or not, so she wanted to urge the white frost to go and change into ordinary clothes.
Hearing this, Bai Shuangshuang's body, which originally looked very weak, trembled more like it was overwhelmed, and leaned towards Chun Tao beside her, half of her body was hanging on Chun Tao, and she was very ashamed to say: "Sister Dongmei, my mother finally thought about summoning me, so I tried my best to be solemn." Waiting for the guy to come back, if my mother is not in a hurry, Sister Dongmei also thinks that I am not dressed properly, so I went into the house to change, just to let my mother wait for a while. ”
How can you wait? This was a small abacus secretly played by the Zheng family, and they wanted Cheng Ruohan to propose by himself that he wanted to marry the second daughter of the Bai family, so that Bai Mingzhu could be regarded as having a backer. The Zheng family's maiden family is a big family, unlike the Zheng family, the Bai family is a big merchant with real money in his hands, although he is not involved in the party and government, but his influence is not small at all. In addition, the Cheng family only has two sons, and although the eldest son Cheng Ruoyun is in charge of all the Cheng family's properties, he is a short-lived ghost who has suffered from hidden diseases since he was a child and will not live long. If Mingzhu can marry into the Cheng family, after Cheng Ruoyun dies, won't all the Cheng family's properties go into the hands of the Cheng family's second son, Cheng Ruohan? It's also great for yourself.
Zheng has been proud since he was a child, and on top of his marriage, he won the mother of Baishuangshuang. should have been satisfied, but the only thing that made her endure it was not herself, but her only daughter, Bai Mingzhu. No matter how powerful you are and how hard you work, in the eyes of the world, the white frost is a concubine! Don't marry since childhood, in the eyes of the Cheng family. This point, Dongmei, knows it in her heart. But even if you know, how can Dongmei be a subordinate, the number of etiquette that should be there is still no less, at most it is a few reprimands, and no matter how excessive, I dare not say it.
If such a small abacus is achieved, the Zheng family is not afraid, if it is not successful, it will be said that it will not be on the table. That Dongmei naturally knows the severity, no matter what, she can't let the master know. can only black his face and lead the white frost to Zheng's place.
He said hatefully, "Miss, come along." ”
"Then it's troublesome Sister Dongmei." Bai Shuangshuang pretended to be the joy of her little daughter, but she couldn't help sneering in her heart. What Dongmei knows, how can she not know after a lifetime of experience?
The direction of the winter plum belt is towards the garden. In the garden, Zheng and Bai Mingzhu were chatting with Cheng Ruohan, the second young master.
"Brother Han, you can say it, you will take me out to fly a kite after the beginning of spring."
Bai Mingzhu sat on Cheng Ruohan's left side, leaning slightly in his direction, although he didn't come into direct contact, but the fat powder fragrance from Bai Mingzhu's body kept lingering on Cheng Ruohan's nose, making him a little uneasy.
It was a fragrant powder carefully obtained by the Zheng family, which always had a fatal attraction to men. Seeing that Cheng Ruohan's face changed slightly, Zheng smiled slightly, lifted the tea in his hand, took a sip lightly, and said, "You kid, you always want to have fun." Zheng scolded with a smile: "Do you think that the Cheng family's huge family business does not have the credit of your brother Han?" Where can I have time to play with you? ”
Cheng Ruohan was very complacent when he heard Zheng's words, but he still had to make a modest look on his face: "Where does Madam Bai say, there is always time to fly kites with Sister Mingzhu." ”
"You, you've been too good to Mingzhu since you were a child, but you've spoiled Mingzhu."
"Mother~"
Zheng Shi saw Bai Mingzhu's shy appearance, so he also covered his mouth and joked with a smile: "Do you still know shyness?" ”
When the hoarfrost arrived, I saw such a happy scene. Just like in previous lives. But at that time, she was disgraced and cowardly, and she didn't dare to resist. In her previous life, before her marriage to Cheng Ruohan, Cheng Ruohan would occasionally come to see her, sometimes, she was there, and sometimes, she was not there. But every time Zheng and Bai Mingzhu were always present, even if they were there at that time, it was just like in front of them now, and the three of them chatted happily, but she, the prospective daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, seemed to be an outsider.
In her previous life, she stupidly thought that Cheng Ruohan married her because she liked it. is so enthusiastic about Bai Mingzhu because she is her own sister.
Later, the two got married, not because of love, but because of the promise of the ancestors of the Cheng family.
Bai Shuangshuang closed his eyes to hide the hatred rolling in his heart, the coldness at the corner of his mouth was swallowed in his abdomen, adjusted his mood, and walked up to the pavilion with the support of Cai Sang and Chun Tao, and gave a salute to Zheng: "Mother." ”
When Bai Shuangshuang entered the gazebo, she already felt Cheng Ruohan's gaze warmer than usual. Bai Shuangshuang was proud in her heart, but she kept pretending not to know, and only cared about talking to Zheng.
"Hmm." Zheng Shi responded, and when he looked back and saw Bai Shuangshuang's dress, he was a little unhappy in his heart, but because of Cheng Ruohan's presence, it was not easy to attack, "How is your health?" ”
Bai Shuangshuang thought that she only woke up yesterday, and the Zheng family didn't know it, but she still asked her to come to the pavilion to meet people in the cold wind today, and only a fool couldn't see what idea she had.
Bai Shuangshuang smiled ashamedly: "Thank you for your mother's concern, my health has improved a lot." ”
Cheng Ruohan kept watching Bai Shuangshuang's every move, and he didn't know why it seemed that a fluctuating string was echoing. Bai Shuangshuang's body looks very weak, and he is still a little unstable when he is supported by the maid around him, and he has not applied powder, but because he is still sick, his face is a little abnormally red, and his eyes are full of water, and it seems that his face is just a little coquettish, especially under the background of a red coat, which is even more lovely. Is this still the thin and ugly hoarfrost I saw before?
