Chapter 7: Rumors

With the help of the prison city, the fire was finally extinguished after a few hours, and the Bai family ancestral hall was reduced to ashes, but fortunately the fire did not spread to cause greater damage.

Bai Zhengzhong apologized to the visitors one by one, and Zheng counted the scope and details of the damage internally, and the follow-up treatment was carried out in an orderly manner.

After all, in this weather, there will be no dry weather, and it is also because he knows that it is not easy to catch fire in this season, so the people who guard the ancestral hall did not do much to inspect and gave Baishuangshuang a chance.

Although Bai Zhengzhong had some suspicions about the cause of the fire, because he couldn't find any clues, he could only severely punish the people guarding the ancestral hall, expel them from the mansion, and order the Zheng family to supervise the use of the Bai family's open fire.

"Mother, are you still worried about the fire in the ancestral hall?" Bai Mingzhu was sitting in Zheng's room playing chess, and when he saw that Zheng had been thinking and hesitating, he quipped: "I have seen Miss Beppu in the past two days, and everyone is praising you." ”

Zheng glanced at Bai Mingzhu amusedly: "It's nice to say, is the fire in the ancestral hall a trivial matter?" How can I, the head of the house, have the responsibility of taking care of the unfavorable, and it's good that your father didn't do much to pursue it. ”

The Zheng family also knew that the fire in the Bai family ancestral hall was very noisy, and the recent discussions between the various prefectures almost all revolved around the Bai family, and the Zheng family was also widely acclaimed. Of course, many of them praised the white frost, but the Zheng family didn't care much, the only thing that made her unwilling was that she could have let the white frost's actions be suppressed, but the fifth prince of the dynasty, the prince Jue, actually opened his mouth and praised the white frost. But that's fine. After all, the white frost is now seriously injured and has not woken up, and I don't know if I can survive it.

"You didn't set the fire, and Dad has no reason to pursue you." Bai Mingzhu took a sunspot and sneered: "I still think the fire is too small, why didn't I burn the little slut of White Frost to death inside." ”

Zheng Shixu slapped Bai Mingzhu: "Don't talk nonsense." Now that the reputation of the white frost is outside, you talk nonsense and let others hear, and it is you who is not good. ”

Bai Mingzhu coquettishly pulled Zheng's arm and said, "Ouch, mother, what's the matter, there are no outsiders here." You know, how much I hate that hoarfrost. ”

"Know, know, know, you have to refrain from it. After all, you are the most noble lady of the Bai family. The Zheng family smiled and comforted Bai Mingzhu.

The two mothers and daughters were chatting, and Zheng's door was suddenly pushed open by someone who "banged" from the outside, so frightened that the flags in Zheng's hands fell onto the chessboard.

Zheng was about to look for Dongmei, when he heard Bai Zhengzhong's low shout, and before the person entered the inner room, the reprimand had already come in: "Bastard! Look what you've done to me! ”

Zheng and Bai Mingzhu hurriedly got up from the couch to greet them, and as soon as Bai Zhengzhong lifted the curtain, he saw Bai Mingzhu beside Zheng, and his angry face eased slightly, and said to Bai Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, you go out first, I have something to say to your mother." ”

Bai Mingzhu looked at Bai Zhengzhong delicately, and replied in a sweet voice: "Daddy looks so scary today. ”

Bai Zhengzhong always has no choice about this little daughter, because she is unmarried and pregnant, because she feels indebted to her since she was a child, she is particularly fond of her, but Bai Mingzhu is a well-behaved child who can be coquettish, even if she is naughty, she is reluctant to preach.

Bai Zhengzhong stroked Bai Mingzhu's head: "Good boy, you go out first, Daddy is not angry." ”

Bai Mingzhu glanced at Zheng, and when he saw Zheng's faint nod, he pulled Bai Zhengzhong's arm and shook it: "Daddy has to be a good talker, but you can't be angry!" ”

"Okay, Daddy isn't angry."

After Bai Mingzhu's stubble, Bai Zhengzhong's anger did disappear a lot, but he still sat on the couch with a somewhat uneasy face, took a sip of the tea handed by Zheng, and put it down heavily.

"Let me ask you, how has Frost been in the past few years?"

Zheng thought that Bai Zhengzhong was in a hurry to come to the ancestral hall for the fire, but he didn't expect to ask about Bai Shuangshuang as soon as he sat down, and his heart was suddenly not very happy, but he still kept a smile on his face.

"Naturally, it should be the same degree of food and clothing, and it is the same as the pearl." As he spoke, he threw a wink at Bai Zhengzhong again: "What? Frost sued you? ”

"Sue?" Bai Zhengzhong slapped the table suddenly: "Shuangshuang is still lying on the bed and has not woken up yet, how can she sue me?" ”

“……”

"It's been so many days, but the doctors you invited are always helpless, if you hadn't invited the imperial doctor who returned to his hometown the year before last to diagnose and treat, I wouldn't know that Frost and Frost are all heavy!"

Hearing this, Zheng sneered: "It turns out that the old man can't trust the doctor I invited, and he went to find the imperial doctor?" Did I arrange for her to rush into the fire? ”

"Why don't you want me to look for it? If it's really what I found, it's okay, but this royal doctor was found by the five princes! The five princes were merciful, saying that the daughter of the Bai family who sacrificed herself to save the spiritual position was an example of righteousness, and she couldn't delay, so she invited the royal doctor to come. Bai Zhengzhong stood up and looked condescendingly at Zheng, who was unconvinced: "Do you know?" How much gossip do I have in the Hanlin Academy today? They all said that my discipline was not good, and I let my original concubine be abused by the continuation string! Bai Zhengzhong was so angry that he paced in the room and said, "Do you know what Imperial Doctor Wang said? It is said that frost and frost are tired all year round, long-term uneven meals, weak bodies, and cold erosion in the cold winter has not healed. You say, is this the result of the fire?! ”

“……”

Seeing that Zheng was a little stunned, Bai Zhengzhong pointed at her angrily: "What did you say you were doing!" ”

Zheng wondered in his heart, the doctors she found were all personally checked by her, even if she saw the pain on Bai Shuangshuang's body, she shouldn't go out to talk nonsense, how did it get out? Could it be that it is the imperial doctor who is about to return to his hometown?

"I've already been to see Frost, and the room she lives in isn't even as good as a maid! At the beginning, Mingzhu said that she liked Frost's room, and I promised to change rooms for her sisters, not for you to abuse Frost! Bai Zhengzhong said with a dry mouth, and sat back to take a sip of tea: "Imperial Doctor Wang said that Shuangshuang should not move now, and when Shuangshuang wakes up, you immediately let Shuangshuang move to the main courtyard." ”

Zheng came back to his senses, thinking that Bai Zhengzhong had never lost such a temper with her in the matter of the fire in the ancestral hall, and now for a white frost, he actually came to accuse her of such a lot, and he was extremely aggrieved in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master, I also want to be good to Shuangshuang, but Shuangshuang has always cared about me, how I treat her well, she doesn't accept it, and also proposes to move to such a remote courtyard, I, Mrs. Bai, is it so easy to do?" ”

Where did she think that Bai Zhengzhong, who was immersed in the praise of her colleagues' "goddaughters are good", was suddenly secretly accused of conniving at Xu Xian's abuse of her daughter-in-law? Not to mention, there was even a direct take out the matter that Zheng was his outer room back then.

Bai Zhengzhong waved his hand impatiently: "Don't talk about this, immediately let someone send charcoal fire to the frost house." ”

“……”

After the words were finished, Bai Zhengzhong didn't plan to stay any longer, got up and prepared to leave, but when he was leaving, he stopped and looked at the aggrieved Zheng family deeply, and said word by word: "Even if Shuangshuang's biological mother has passed away, she is still the eldest lady of my Bai family, even if you don't admit it, the people outside will also admit it, you figure this out!" ”
