165 Lost Phoenix

"You're a good person!" Bai Poria was angry, but she still gave in, anyway, it was only a short way, if she insisted on standing by, Yang Mei would definitely keep thinking about her.

Seeing that she had been dealt with, Yang Mei hurriedly recruited Bai Guo to squeeze in the car behind, and she went to pick up Xia Xinxin.

Bai Guo was a little unhappy, but Yangmei was her sister-in-law, and the young lady had no opinion, so she couldn't refute it, so she agreed with a flat mouth.

Bai Poria's ebony carriage can only seat four people at most, and one of Xia Xinxin's maids wants to follow Bai Guo to the back car, fortunately, there are enough carriages with him today, and there are no problem with two or three more people.

As soon as Yang Mei told Xia Xinxin about the arrangement, she didn't say much, she nodded generously and said, "That's it, it's bothering!" ”

"You're welcome!" Yangmei immediately went back to call Bai Awu and Bai Ashi for help, and the two of them each gave a palm, and the seemingly heavy carriage moved sideways to the side of the mountain briskly, and the coachman of the Xia family was dumbfounded.

Xia Xinxin and Bai Poria looked at each other, and both of them smiled politely and unfamiliarly without words.

Bai Poria's temperament is actually very withdrawn, and she only talks a lot in front of her relatives and friends, so forget about the girl in front of her who definitely doesn't have a good impression.

Xia Xinxin's manor was not far from here, and when she walked halfway, she saw a carriage coming on-demand, followed by a few strong men, and when they met on both sides, it was the coachman who went to find a helper in the Xia family who set up a carriage to pick up people.

Xia Xinxin's eyes turned around on Bai Poria's face, and she said indifferently: "I'm tired of Miss Bai today, my manor is two miles ahead, and there is a bamboo forest next to it, Miss Bai might as well go over and sit when she is free." ”

"I'm going to be on the road today, let's do it another day." Bai Poria said perfunctorily.

Xia Xinxin didn't mind, obviously this invitation was just polite, listened to Bai Poria's answer, calmly said goodbye, and helped the maid get out of the car and leave in her own carriage.

Bai Poria turned her head to Bai Shao beside her and said, "Do you think she is a little weird?" ”

At the poetry meeting that day, Bai Shao also followed Bai Poria's side, and when she asked, she thought for a while and said, "It's like a different person." ”

"Yes, I pretended to be quiet and calm when I saw her that time, I only thought it was funny when I looked at her, but this time I saw her...... But there is some openness and openness. She will accept my help calmly, and share the car with me, and she may not be able to do it if I am replaced. It's not surprising that first there was a matter of the poetry club, and then there were so many things that happened to her family recently, and her temperament has changed a little, and she can see it. But why do I think she's a little lifeless? Bai Poria muttered to herself.

This episode, which was not a pleasant episode, was left behind after Bai Poria arrived in Xiaobeizhuang. Xiaobeizhuang is half smaller than the previous two manors, but the degree of refinement is completely beyond Bai Poria's imagination.

The only hot spring in Xiaobeizhuang is in the direction of Zhuangzi near the back door, a two-storey small building is built above the spring, the second floor of the small building basically has no walls, there are carved wooden windows on all sides, and thick felt is hung behind the window as a curtain, when you want to enjoy the scenery and snow, you only need to remove the curtain and open the flower windows on all sides, just like sitting in the pavilion.

Looking out from the second floor, you can not only overlook the entire Xiaobeizhuang, but also see the mountain scenery behind, and you can feel relaxed and happy when you stand here.

Xiaobeizhuang is carved and painted everywhere, but it will not appear excessively luxurious, a small manor is like a delicate work of art, and every step is a beautiful view. There is a cloister leading to the gate on both sides of the wall on both sides of Xiaobeizhuang, and Bai Poria walked along the cloister and just returned to the main gate of the manor.

She sighed lightly and said to Gushan Long: "Such a good Zhuangzi is still good for your own enjoyment, but you can refer to how people's hot springs are drained and drained, and you should also consider the problem of convenience and cleaning. ”

Gu Shanlong naturally had no objections, and Gui Ding, who was following aside, also put down his heart, okay! There is also a Zhuangzi that escaped the "clutches".

Bai Guo and Yangmei were very moved when they looked at this manor, and they couldn't wait to stay overnight tonight, but when Bai Poria thought that there was a big devil nearby, how could they stay?

Living in this small Beizhuang, the big devil wants to come to her for trouble, and these people around her can't stop her at all, so she resolutely asks to go back to the capital after reading it, and she can't stay here for a moment.

The others didn't dare to disobey her, so they could only reluctantly follow her away.

Back at the old mansion of Jingcheng Pavilion, it was already dinner time, Bai Poria simply freshened up and changed her clothes to eat with her father.

The place to eat is in the side hall of the main house where Bai Changshan lives, when Bai Poria arrives, the table is empty, Bai Changshan saw her coming, and ordered the meal to be served.

"Grandpa, you're too old and hungry, why don't you set the table for dinner first?" Bai Poria wanted to sit next to her mother according to the rules, but Bai Bianer asked the maid to put her dishes and chopsticks next to Bai Changshan, and said with a smile: "Miss Sun come here to sit so that I can talk to the master." ”

Bai Chou smiled a little sourly: "Your grandfather has to wait for you, go home early next time, don't let the elders wait for you." This is a lesson, but there is no seriousness at all, and it is a scene when you hear it.

Bai Changshan had already smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not that I don't lack that little bit of food, grandpa is not hungry." Ling'er had a good time today, right? Grandpa's Zhuangzi are good. ”

"Yes, yes, grandpa will give me both Dongzhuang and Nanzhuang, okay? It is enough for us to leave the most beautiful little Beizhuang at home. White Poria took the opportunity to open her mouth.

Bai Changshan agreed without thinking about it, and praised Bai Bian'er, who was waiting on the side, for his vision, and even liked his granddaughter very much about the Zhuangzi he bought, but he didn't ask Bai Poria what he wanted two Zhuangzi to do alone.

The meal was quickly delivered, and Bai Changshan waved his hand to let the people who were waiting for them retreat, and only his family of four ate happily

Bai Changshan used to be very particular about the set of rules of eating and sleeping, but later his wife and children died one after another, and he didn't have a chance to find someone to speak, but now it is rare to have children and grandchildren, and he can't wait to get along more and talk more, especially when he sees his granddaughter and son and daughter-in-law talking and laughing while eating, the intimate and lively feeling is too good for a lonely old man like him, and all the rules are standing aside.

It was only a few days after the three members of the Bai family moved to the Ge Lao Mansion, and Bai Poria's position was moved from Mu Peilan's side to Bai Changshan's side, with the eldest son on one side and the granddaughter on the other.

After the meal, the family sat in one place and asked about Bai Poria today's experience, and Bai Poria talked in detail, which inevitably mentioned the encounter with Hai Pu Shi and Xia Xinxin. When the three parents heard the name of Hai Pushi, they immediately became nervous, Bai Poria didn't want to talk about this big devil, so she had to deliberately talk about Xia Xinxin's strange appearance, saying that her attitude was very strange.

Bai Changshan sighed and said, "This Miss Xia is also unlucky......

When you hear it, it's like a story! Bai Poria is actually not too curious, but in order to divert the attention of her parents, she has to make a gossip gesture that she is willing to hear.

In addition to Bai Bian'er in the hall, only Bai Guo and Yangmei are waiting, both of whom are trustworthy, and there are no outsiders. Bai Changshan hesitated for a moment and said, "A few days ago, Miss Xia's father asked someone to privately mention to me that he wanted to send Miss Xia to your father as a concubine. ”

"What?!" Bai Poria didn't expect to hear such a powerful news, and jumped up almost directly.

Mu Peilan also heard about this for the first time, she was not too excited, but she just smiled at her husband.

Bai Chou immediately made a statement: "I am the only one in my life, and I will never want another woman!" That girl is about the same age as Ling'er, and I'm about the same as my daughter. ”

Now it was Bai Ling's turn to look at him with an aggrieved face, and Bai Chou coughed dryly and added: "Of course, when my daughter doesn't want her, it's enough to have our Ling'er." How can there be a better daughter in the world than my Ling'er?! ”

Bai Poria was very coquettish and said, "Daddy is the best!" ”

Bai Changshan heard his son's statement with his own ears, his mood was a little complicated, and he smiled bitterly: "I politely declined at that time." Hearing the news this morning, the Xia family seems to want to renew Miss Xia to Deng Wenhua. Wenhua's character is not bad, but he is over forty years old, and the two sons and one daughter in the family are similar in age to Miss Xia......

Bai Poria wondered, "How could they come up with such an inexplicable idea? Even if this daughter doesn't like them, she won't be so bad. ”

Mu Peilan stretched out her hand to cut her daughter's hair, and said, "It has nothing to do with whether you like Miss Xia or not, it's just that Elder Xia Ge has fallen, and the Xia family was killed on Chinese New Year's Eve, and seeing that the building is about to collapse, they need to seek support too much, so they have to sacrifice their daughter." ”

She knew in her heart that she only gave birth to a daughter for Bai Chou, and no one inherited the incense of the Bai family, Bai Changshan didn't mention it on his face, and he couldn't help but feel sorry and anxious, which I believe the people of the Xia family can also think of.

Although she married Miss Xia as a concubine, she was young and had a great chance to give birth to the flesh and blood of the Bai family, if it was a son, it would be the only incense blood of the Bai family.

Although Miss Xia is a concubine, she is from a family, as long as she gives birth to a son, the Bai family will never dare to despise and snub her, and this concubine is different from the concubines of other families because of her mother's noble birth.

Moreover, the granddaughter of the dignified Xia Ge Lao is committed to the Bai family as a concubine, which is also a sincere statement of the Xia family's weakness and curry favor with the Bai family.

It's a pity that Bai Changshan refused, so they had to find Deng Wenhua, the number one person under Bai Changshan, instead, regardless of whether the other party had children or daughters in the family, and was more than 20 years older than Xia Xinxin.

Mu Peilan mentioned a few words, Bai Poria understood the key, she frowned and said disdainfully: "Xia Ge Lao's son, his brain is really not sober, at this time, the smart one handed in his resignation for Xia Ge Lao, and the family went back to their hometown to live honestly, maybe after ten years and eight years, the son and nephew will still have a chance to become a leader, and they will not be able to make a comeback, and now they are struggling and resisting like this, I am afraid that even the foundation will be destroyed." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet of the Jiajing Dynasty, in order to win the trust and befriend the first assistant Yan Song (a famous traitor), once married the daughter of his eldest son Xu Pan to Yan Song's grandson as a concubine. But no matter what, this Miss Xu's life was completely ruined. The fate of women in ancient times was sometimes really miserable.
