Chapter 27: The Truth of the Day
Bai Zixuan put on Zhu Youning's pants, washed the medicinal wine on her hands, opened the chest of drawers where the mahogany carved magpie climbed the branches, and took out a big burden from the bottom.
Put the burden on the Luohan bed and open it, only to see that the bottom of the cushion is a dark gray cotton, and the top is a girl's clothes, from the inside to the outside, from autumn to winter, the material is not silk and satin, but it is all new fine cotton. The color is also delicate.
Obviously, this is for Zhu Youning and Zhu Huating.
Bai Zixuan took out a snow-white middle coat, and took a goose-yellow jacket and trousers, and talked eloquently while changing Zhu Youning's clothes.
"I rushed to the front hall that day, and as soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I heard your mother crying and begging your grandfather, saying that she was born into the Zhu family and died as a ghost of the Zhu family, and if your grandfather wanted to force her to remarry, she would have to die.
"Your grandfather is upright, where will he listen to her, just say, 'If you really have backbone, you will die to show me, even if you die, you are not allowed to be Zhu Zichen's daughter-in-law and lose the face of my old Bai family', I heard that this was not right, so I rushed in, just in time for your mother to run out of it, I hurried to chase your mother, but your grandmother arranged for Fang's mother to guard the door and not let me in."
Zhu Youning put on his obscene pants, put his arm into the sleeve of his middle coat, and was stunned when he heard the words.
Sure enough, it wasn't my grandmother who saved my mother's baby.
Bai Zixuan did not find Zhu Youning's abnormality, but carefully helped her tie the handicap of the neckline, and said:
"As soon as I went to intercede with your mother, the news of your mother's surrender came out. I listened, I was really scared, but fortunately, God willing, your mother is fine, but she was diagnosed as pregnant.
"Then your mother begged your grandmother, who was pregnant with your father's child, where could she remarry? But your grandmother listened to your grandfather's instructions and still asked her to take medicine. Your mother refused to eat, knocked over the bowl, and rushed out to find your grandfather, and we all hurried to follow.
"At this time, your uncle happened to be in the front hall, and after listening to the ins and outs of what your mother said, he said, 'Zirong is the wife of the Zhu family after all, Zhu Zichen did something wrong and drank the northwest wind outside, that is the end he deserved if he made a mistake, marry a chicken with a chicken and marry a dog with a dog, Zirong followed and suffered, that is also her woman's way, where is there such a husband who forced Zirong to remarry if something happened'.
"Your uncle later learned that your grandfather had asked your mother to remarry an old widower, so he was even more disrespectful, saying that your grandfather was a ghost and pushed his daughter to her death.
"Your grandfather got into a quarrel with your uncle.
"Later, your grandfather still wanted to force your mother to take medicine, and your uncle said very majestically, 'If anyone dares to bring that kind of medicine to Zirong, he will be my Bai Shengfang's enemy!'
"You also know that in the future, the Bai family will want your uncle to take charge of the family, and the subordinates will not dare to act, and your grandfather can't and doesn't want to tear his face with your uncle for a while, so he will put it aside for the time being."
Is that what happened?
It turned out to be the uncle with a black face in his memory who said a fair word!
It seems that she really overestimated her grandmother.
Bai Zixuan saw that Zhu Youning hung her head and didn't speak, so she rubbed her hair distressedly.
"Come, Auntie comb your hair."
Bai Zixuan pulled Zhu Youning to sit down in front of the dressing table, and on the makeup box was a two-foot square Western beauty mirror, which could see people's faces clearly.
Zhu Youning also came to ancient times to look in the mirror for the first time.
In the mirror, the girl's small face is big with a big palm, two big hairy eyes, a small nose and a small mouth, which is very delicate.
Only then did Zhu Youning understand why her father, mother and little aunt always liked to touch her head, and they also liked to hug her and kiss her, because this body was too soft and cute.
She deliberately lowered her face, but she didn't see the slightest momentum.
Bai Zixuan dismantled her messy chirp head, the child's hair was very straight, but because of malnutrition, the hair was a little yellow, and it was frizzy to the touch.
Bai Zixuan was distressed, carefully combed Zhu Youning's double bun, and was just about to give her bead flowers, but Zhu Youning held her hand.
"Little aunt, I'll just use the head rope."
Bai Zixuan thought about it and knew that Zhu Huating was a person who wanted a lot of face, so she nodded, chose two small and delicate silk flowers, put one on her double bun, and carefully combed her bangs.
"Look, this is what a little girl looks like, although your father cherishes you and cleans you up, but how can a man's family understand this." Bai Zixuan sighed, "Where can a girl leave her mother." ”
Zhu Youning rejuvenated, winked at himself who became more and more cute after dressing up in the mirror, but he really didn't see it, so he stood up.
"Little aunt, I have two more questions for you."
Bai Zixuan couldn't help laughing when she saw her serious little adult-like appearance, pinched her pink cheeks and said, "Okay, you say." ”
Zhu Youning said: "Did the people who went to rob my mother come back that day told my grandfather and grandmother that they only robbed my mother away, but threw me outside the pawnshop, and it was raining heavily that day. ”
Bai Zixuan was stunned when she heard this, and her eyebrows furrowed: "What did you say?" Were you there that day? Then why didn't they bring you back? ”
Zhu Youning carefully recalled the scene of that day, and said slowly: "Because they said that I was a mongrel of the Zhu family, and I lost it." ”
"How unreasonable!"
Bai Zixuan slapped the table angrily, "I don't know about this." I didn't have a chance to talk to your mother that day, I went to him first, Mother Fang looked at the door and didn't let me in, and then your mother couldn't do it, and went to beg your grandfather, I never had a chance to talk to her. I didn't know ......"
After thinking about it, Bai Zixuan's face became even more ugly, and she muttered, "I'm not sure if your grandfather and your grandmother know about this." ”
Seeing this, Zhu Youning nodded.
Bai Zixuan lowered her eyebrows, thinking of her heartless parents, and her heart burned for a while.
After a long time, she suddenly reacted, nervously grabbed Zhu Youning's uninjured hand, and asked eagerly: "Fu Ya'er, where did you go home by yourself that day?" ”
Zhu Youning pursed his lips and shook his head: "No, I was crying in the rain chasing the carriage, the carriage was getting farther and farther, and when I was thinking about going home, I couldn't find the way, it was my father who found me at night." ”
"Oh my God!" Bai Zixuan covered her mouth, and her eyes turned red.
Zhu Youning hugged Bai Zixuan, "It's okay little aunt, I'm already fine." I have a second question. Do you know someone who helped my mother deliver a letter to my father? ”
Bai Zixuan choked up, wiped away her tears with her sleeve, nodded and said, "I went to greet your grandmother that day, and as soon as I entered the house, I heard Mother Fang tell your grandmother about it." But after I entered the door, Fang's mother stopped. ”
