Dark clouds and heavy rain fell from the sky.

In a side room of the Bai family's mansion, the woman's screams of pain gradually weakened.

"It's been two hours, why hasn't the child's head come out yet, I'm afraid the mother and son won't be able to keep it like this, madam, you have to work hard." The midwife anxiously urged beside the exhausted woman, and saw that the woman's eyes suddenly widened, and as soon as she gritted her teeth, she struggled, and the woman's cry of pain and the child's cry sounded almost at the same time.

The white man standing outside the house was also happy. The midwife quickly took out the child, washed it, and packed everything in the house, and Master Bai walked in from the outside, said hard work to the woman lying on the bed, and took the child in the hands of the maid.

"Congratulations to the lord, I am happy to have a noble son," the maid said busily.

Master Bai was happy again, and hurriedly opened the quilt to take a look, then held the concubine's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work." The woman on the bed blushed slightly when she heard this, and a smile of relief appeared on her tired face, showing a weak beauty.

Master Bai also smiled, and then turned his head to say to his mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, it's hard work." It was the midwife standing on the side who came back to her senses from her thoughtful expression, but she didn't hear the words of the innocent master, so she had to congratulate the late arrival: "Congratulations to the white master for having a noble son." ”

Master Bai smiled embarrassedly, turned his head and asked the little servant who followed him to present a bag of silver, "A little heart, not respect, I hope my mother-in-law will smile." The midwife hesitated for a moment to take the money, then turned and retreated, with a little doubt between her eyebrows.

The concubine surnamed Liu of the white lord is a concubine of the pawnshop Liu in the city, the famous rich family in this town of the white lord, the last two generations of the white lord are even richer, as the saying goes, the rich are not three, in fact, the family is not as rich as before to worship the lord's generation, because the white lord is not a good manager, the shop at home is not as good as a day, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if it is not as rich as the original, it is not bad in this small town.

Besides, this shopkeeper Liu, in order to get in touch with Master Bai, sent his concubine to Master Bai as a concubine, this concubine is a famous beauty in the city, she is extremely beautiful, the big eyes are bright, pure like a fairy who doesn't ask about the world, a palm-sized face, a small nose and mouth, which is like a delicate porcelain doll, and is educated by women in ancient times. Because of Liu's beauty, when he married Liu's again, Master Bai earned a lot of face, and also because of Liu's beauty, Master Bai looked at her very closely.

Since Liu gave birth to this son, her status in the family has been several levels higher, and anyone with her temperament can bully her in this compound, but now it is different, Grandpa Bai wants him to visit Liu every day, and then because Liu's yard is too far away, Liu's yard should be next to his yard, which makes the women of the Bai family very red.

When the little son was born for half a month, the midwife ran to the gate of Baifu to ask to see Liu, and the little maid guarding the gate went to tell Master Bai, and Master Bai was puzzled, so he asked the midwife to go to see Liu, and by the way, he told the little maid to listen to what they had to say and then come back to report.

The midwife saw Liu, bowed slightly, and then hesitated a little, Liu looked at the midwife timidly, and waited for her to speak, and the midwife hesitated for a while before saying, "Madam, can you let others avoid it." ”

Liu was very puzzled and a little embarrassed, but he had no choice but to say to his subordinates: "Let's all step down." ”

Then the people withdrew, and the little servant was puzzled, so he quietly hid under the window and eavesdropped, and heard the midwife say, "Madam, there is probably something wrong with your child, that is, ...... That kid doesn't have to be a boy. ”

Hearing this, Liu Shi showed a puzzled look and asked, "Mother-in-law, how do you say this?" ”

The midwife couldn't help but clench her hands into fists and said, "When I delivered the baby that day, I saw a small hole in the little young master's lower body, which was not big, only a small slit with the length of a small thumb nail, but ...... The old body has seen this before, but it is bigger than this, this is afraid that it is a ...... It's a twin. ”

There was a dead silence in the room, and Liu's eyes couldn't help but widen, his face was incredulous, and his lips trembled a little.

"Mother-in-law, don't talk nonsense, this ...... How is this possible...... "His voice trembled a little, and his body looked like he was about to go limp, as if he had suffered a thunderbolt from the sky.

The midwife hurriedly said: "Madam, the old body is just guessing, not sure yet, Madame is better to confirm." ”

The midwife didn't dare to say anything more when she saw that the situation was wrong, so she quietly left.

Xiao Si outside the window was also stunned, a little at a loss, he knew that if he told the master like this, this aunt might die, and he left a little unwillingly.

Liu came back to her senses and called the maid, and she didn't care when the midwife left, she just wanted to confirm it quickly. asked the maid to pick up the child, and Liu asked everyone to retreat, trembling himself

Uncover the quilt that wraps the child, look under the child, and then stretch out his hand to find the little roufeng, gently open it and look down, suddenly it seems to have lost all his strength, almost can't even hold the child, tears fell big and big, the child began to look at the young mother without crying, seeing the mother crying, I don't know if there is a feeling, grinning and crying.

The maid outside the house waited outside for an hour, not knowing what was happening inside, but the child's crying kept going, and one of the maids asked into the house, "Madam, the young master is crying like this, do you need a slave to go in?" ”

No one in the house agreed, the maid repeated a few times and still no one talked, and she was puzzled, so she pushed the door and went in, and saw Liu's body hanging there on the beam of the room and didn't move, the maid screamed in fright, her body involuntarily retreated, and she fell and sat on the ground.

After the little guy was called to interrogate, the little guy was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and explained the conversation between the midwife and Liu's 1510, Master Bai looked at the child who was still crying, and felt very humiliated in his heart, and he was about to fall to the ground when he was lifted up, and there was only one thought in his heart: Fall to death, how can a monster be my child, I am not the father of a monster, it must be that Liu is cheating on him behind his back, this is not my child.

Randomly, the child fell to the ground heavily, and the crying stopped abruptly.

The old man left angrily, and didn't even look back at the child, the little guy looked at the swaddling clothes that were still on the ground, and knelt on the ground in a daze, and then he reached out to probe the child's snort, and there was breath, he picked up the child, gently patted the child's back, and the child made a few coughing sounds, and then there was a sound after half a sound. The little guy hurriedly ran to the nurse with the child in his arms. The nurse also knew about this, and thought that it would not be mixed, so she heard a knock on the door and the shouting of the little girl, and did not want to open the door, but the little girl kept shouting outside the house, so she had to open the door, and saw the child in her hand, and felt distressed, so she carried the child to the house and began to breastfeed the child, but the child kept choking.

"How?"

"I guess it depends on the doctor, I can't eat this milk, it's definitely not good, I have to find a way to find a doctor for him."

"At this time, it's almost dark, where to find a doctor, besides, if grandpa knows......"

The latter words did not continue, but the nurse also knew that this matter or not to care, the child is estimated to die, if the master finds out, then it will not be able to eat and walk, this house gives a lot of moon silver, but if this matter to the lord knows, then they don't want to stay in this house, there are people at home who want them to feed, they are reluctant to work now, but look down at the baby in the hands of the nurse They feel unbearable.

The nurse's husband is the chef in the white mansion, and he also came back from outside at this time, and saw this scene, I don't know why, this incident just happened, and the white master didn't let the people spread it, so only the people related to this matter knew, the chef didn't know about it, at this time, the nurse told him, the chef frowned and thought for a long time, and said: "How to say that this is also a human life, it's not good to watch him die, this baby is also a pitiful." ”

So the three of them discussed and wrapped the child in the dark and let him cry quietly, and sent it to the doctor. The child is alive, the nurse raised the child by her side, and after half a month, this day I don't know how the white master knew that the child was still alive, so he ordered the nurse to bring the child to see him, the white master looked at the child, and ordered the little girl next to him to take the child from the nurse's hand. Then he commanded, "Throw him into a mass grave, and don't let me see him again, monster." The disgust in his eyes was so obvious.

When the nurse heard this, she immediately knelt down and cried: "Master, please spare him, the tiger poison does not eat children, how can you treat your child like this." The nurse has been feeding this child for a while, and she also has feelings, and the dissatisfaction with Master Bai in her heart suddenly came up.

Master Bai was even more annoyed when he heard her remarks that the tiger poison did not eat children, raised his foot and kicked the nurse, and shouted: "He is not my son, how can a monster who is neither male nor female be my son." ”

This was the little guy and the chef who rescued the child that day, rushed into the house and knelt down, begging Master Bai to let the child go, and even the little guy who was holding the child knelt down.

Seeing them in this posture, Master Bai kicked the chef who was kneeling in front of the nurse a few times, and slowly calmed down, thinking of making trouble like this, everyone outside knew that he gave birth to a monster that was neither male nor female, wouldn't it make outsiders laugh, so he said: "A bunch of waste, don't let me see this monster in the future, if you let me see it, don't think that he can survive, get out!" ”

Since Master Bai was furious that day, the chef and the nurse have quietly raised the child and did not let him go out, so that Master Bai has not seen this child for five years, but the Bai family has gradually fallen in the past five years.

As the child grows up day by day, the child's beautiful appearance is also revealed, and I don't know if it's because he doesn't go out often, the child's eldest discipline committee is white, like a snow doll, and the big black eyes are pure and pure, making people feel that their dark side is exposed when they look at him.

The child has no name, the chef and the nurse hope that he can grow up and live a good life so they call him Xiaofu, and everyone in the house knows about his existence, but they don't know if the child looks too cute, or if the people in the house are too kind, and they miraculously don't mention this child in front of the master.

As the saying goes, he will always come, and when the child was five years old, a disaster was about to befall this ignorant child. In the past five years, the Bai family's wealth has slowly decreased because of Master Bai's poor management, and several sons of Master Bai who are not angry have squandered all day long, which has accelerated the rate of wealth reduction.

On this day, Master Bai was reading the account book in the house, and a small guy outside hurriedly ran in.

"Oh no, master, something happened to the eldest young master, eldest young master...... drunk and molested Li Xiucai's daughter in the south of the city, and the people reported to the official, and the government arrested the eldest young master. ”

Old Man Bai was furious: "What?! This little rabbit is causing trouble all day long! Darn! ”

At this time, Master Bai's eldest lady Zhang also ran over, and as soon as she entered the house, she fell on Master Bai's lap and cried: "Master, Xiao Er is not sensible, he is only 16 years old, Xiao Er must be drunk, he didn't mean to, Xiao Er is your eldest son, master, you have to help Xiao Er, save Xiao Er!" ”

"It's not the son you raised, and it's not angry at all." Then he kicked the eldest lady away, swept all the ledgers on the table to the ground with a sweep of his sleeve, and walked out of the room angrily.

Although this Li Xiucai's family is not very wealthy, in this dynasty that advocates literature, the only Xiucai in this city has a very high status, and this is a play, and the county official is estimated to make a fortune from their Bai family again.

In the evening, Master Bai invited the county master to dinner.

"Lord Wu, look at my son's matter, please help me more."

Saying that, he stretched out his hand to Lord Wu and stuffed a stack of sound tickets to Lord Wu, Lord Wu glanced at the silver ticket in his hand, frowned, and was speechless.

"Brother Bai, it's not that I don't help you as a big brother, you also know that this Li Xiucai is the only talent in our place, and his reputation is not low, you ...... Isn't it...... It's not good to let my brother do things! ”

Wu Xian squinted at his hand holding the silver ticket, and Master Bai secretly scolded this corrupt official in his heart, but he still smiled and took out a few silver tickets from his pocket and handed them over.

Wu Xian glanced at it, and his tone became unkind.

"Brother Bai, you are sending people, are you entrusting me to do things or sending me to do things, so, I'll just say it, you can't be lower than this."

Then he stretched out a finger and whispered in the ear of Master Bai's 3: "One thousand taels"

Master Bai was also angry, and immediately didn't want to talk about it anymore, but he didn't want to offend people, so he said: "Lord Wu, I can't take this out, for the sake of our friendship for so many years, you are accommodating." ”

Wu Xian smiled disdainfully, "Then Brother Bai is thinking about it, is your son important or money important." ”

Then he took a sip of tea, sighed, got up and left.

When Master Bai returned home, the eldest lady was waiting for him in the lobby, and then he saw that the eldest lady's anger surged up all of a sudden, and slapped her in the face without waiting for the eldest lady to speak, and said angrily: "It's all a good thing caused by your good son, now it's okay, that bullshit county master wants a thousand taels of silver, what do you say!" ”

The eldest lady also grew her mouth after hearing this, and she also knew that her family couldn't take out so much silver now, but it was her own flesh and blood, how could she not save it, and then she cried again.

"Sooner or later, I'm going to pull this damn county order off the horse!"

The eldest lady suddenly stopped crying when she heard Master Bai's words, she thought of a person, this person was a big eunuch sent down from the womb a few days ago, it seemed to be very powerful, and when she came on the first day, Mrs. Wu also nodded and went to greet her.

"Master, I think of a person who may be able to save Xiao'er."

"Who?"

"Master, do you remember the noble father-in-law who came to recruit the little eunuch in the palace a few days ago, and when he came that day, the Wu County Lady nodded to him, and he was very complimented."

Master Bai thought about it, shook his head, and said: "We have nothing to do with him, and besides, this matter is our fault, if he is a good one, we Xiao'er can't save it, if it is a bad one, Wu Xiantai scolded him like this, presumably it is only a lot more than Wu Xiantai." ”

"Master, this happy father-in-law, there is a rumor outside, have you heard it?"

Old Man Bai frowned.

The eldest lady continued: "This father-in-law likes to abuse the beautiful little eunuch, and if we give him a beautiful child, it will be done. ”

"You can't always find those children with parents in this matter, you can only go to orphans, but those little beggars in this city who have long been in the small official mansion have all entered the small official hall, and if you buy a child now, but the news of the important people in this palace has been spread all over the world, and the traffickers will not be willing to buy us from near and far."

Master Bai was thinking, but the eldest lady was hesitating, she had a personal choice in her heart, but this matter was a taboo for the Bai family, and no one had mentioned it for five years, but remembering that her son was still suffering in prison, she still mentioned it.

"Master, do you still remember that Liu," Speaking of this, I saw that Master Bai was stunned for a moment and then his face changed, and the eldest lady hurriedly explained: "Master, you listen to me, do you remember the monster she gave birth to, and now the child is still raised in the mansion, that monster is definitely not the master's species, why not let him enter the palace, we can be regarded as feeding him for five years, and he should repay the favor as a mongrel, what do you say, master?" ”

After thinking about it, Master Bai agreed.

The eldest lady continued: "The lord wants to accept him as a righteous son first, then this happy father-in-law owes us an adult, so maybe when he leaves, this Wu County will have to be polite to us." ”

Although he was still a little disgusted in his heart, but thinking of the benefits in the future, Master Bai still agreed, and it was just a matter of a few days.

The next day, Master Bai found the chef and the nurse and the couple, and asked them to take the child.

Hearing the messenger say that he wanted to take Xiaofu, the chef and the nurse were very panicked, but when they arrived in the lobby, they saw the eldest lady and the old man Bai sitting there, and when they saw Xiaofu, the eldest lady also got up and walked to Xiaofu's side and pinched the white little face, and said: "Oh, it's so cute, call my mother quickly, I will be your mother from now on." ”

The chef and the nurse were stunned, and Xiaofu looked at the graceful and luxurious woman in front of him with his big watery eyes, not knowing what to do, and the nurse was happy, this was willing to recognize Xiaofu, and hurriedly urged: "Xiaofu is calling quickly." ”

Xiaofu winked at the nurse, and I don't know if it was when I fell when I was a child, Xiaofu was a little slow to react, and only turned around and called "mother" after a while

The eldest lady smiled and said, "It turns out that your name is Xiaofu, Xiaofu is really good." ”

Master Bai coughed on the upper position, and then said, "From today on, this child is mine...... If the child is gone, the name will not be changed, just call Bai Xiaofu. ”

The cook and the nurse were both happy, and then the nurse explained: "In the past five years, the young master has not grown in that place, and it is estimated that he should be a boy." ”

Master Bai waved his hand impatiently, and then asked the little guy behind him to take fifty taels of silver and reward it to the cook and the nurse.

In the afternoon, Master Bai took Bai Xiaofu to the residence of Xigui's father-in-law, and after explaining the reason, Xigui's father-in-law called them in, and when he saw the white and tender Bai Xiaofu, he nodded, and he was very satisfied.

Then Master Bai euphemistically explained the matter of his eldest son, and Xigui's father-in-law naturally understood what he meant, nodded to reassure him, and then accepted Bai Xiaofu.

The next day, Bai Xiaofu followed his father-in-law back to Beijing, and Master Bai came back.

It was a long time later when the cook and the nurse found out, and they were extremely angry and grieved, and left the Bai family from then on.
