177 If you endure too much, you will be hurt internally
Bai Poria sacrificed a lot of tender tofu, and finally sent the sea pumice stone away, and then had lunch in the old mansion in Shibu Lane, and then set off to Linglong Pavilion.
She had specially asked Luo Shi, the female housekeeper who was familiar with Xia Xinxin in Linglong Pavilion, to ask Xia Xinxin to meet in Linglong Pavilion for her.
When they arrived at Linglong Pavilion, Xia Xinxin's master and servant had already arrived and sat in the private room, and it was the maid who sent jewelry to Linglong Pavilion for her to exchange money for Xia Xinxin.
It is said that Miss Ge Laofu should not have only one maid by her side to serve when she travels, presumably she came without her family, and the only maid she brought with her was the person she trusted the most.
Bai Poria didn't beat around the bush, stepped forward to greet Xia Xinxin, and said, "A few days ago in the palace, thank you Miss Xia for sending a letter to my mother." ”
Xia Xinxin smiled and said, "No thanks, I just want to leave a way for my family to live." ”
Bai Poria didn't expect her to be so direct, Xia Xinxin looked at her a little stunned, and continued: "Since my grandfather was seriously ill and bedridden, my father has been running around every day, wanting to save the Xia family and keep the Xia family's nephew and nephew in the court. ”
"It's not that serious, my grandfather didn't think about what to do to your family?" Bai Poria said with a dry smile.
"Indeed, Elder Bai Ge has never felt sorry for us...... But if there is an order from above......" Xia Xinxin's face was heavy.
Bai Poria knew in her heart that Xia Xinxin guessed that it was actually the emperor in the palace who was going to deal with their Xia family, no wonder as the proud daughter of the sky, she would let *** Duan plead with herself.
"Since you also know that there is a fate, all my grandfather can do is to kill as much as possible within a limited range." Even if Xia Xinxin was barely a lifesaver for her, there was no reason to let her family risk her life to protect them, especially when her grandfather was now unable to protect herself.
"If the Bai Pavilion elder can do this, the Xia family will be grateful." Xia Xinxin is also very acquainted.
"Your father and mother are very blessed." White Poria Road.
Her parents treated her like a chess piece, only thinking of using her to win over the powerful ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee to keep her glory and wealth, and they didn't care about her face, almost to the "jumping auction", whether it was a steproom or a concubine, but she was repeatedly rejected by others.
Her parents' sales tactics have not only been used on Bai Changshan and Deng Wenhua, but also on other powerful officials, the former can also be very silent and silent, but the others are not all so kind, and soon Xia Xinxin has become a big joke in the circle of official women in the capital, many people are secretly gloating, more than a month ago, she was the most talented woman in the capital, and her shelf was higher than the princess, and in a blink of an eye, she became a "leftover girl" that no one wanted.
But Xia Xinxin still wanted to leave a way out for her parents and family under such circumstances, and even did not hesitate to bow her head and plead with her, a natural enemy, which is really not something that ordinary women can do.
Xia Xinxin hung her head and was silent.
"But should you think of what you want to persuade your father? If they continue like this, no one will be able to save them. ”
Xia Xinxin smiled bitterly: "They don't even want to listen to my brother's words, so how can they listen to me, an insulting daughter?" ”
Since the poetry meeting incident, Xia Xinxin's reputation has plummeted, and her parents and even her grandfather Xia Ge Lao blamed her for being insulting, and sent her far away to live in another courtyard outside the capital, wishing that she had never had a daughter like her.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the family suffered a great change, and the husbands and grandmothers of Mrs. Xia and Xia Xinxin's aunt fell ill one after another, and Xia Guoxun took the opportunity to take her back to the mansion to temporarily help manage internal affairs. However, in just over a month, Xia Xinxin has tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection, but fortunately, with Xia Guoxun's care and guidance, she did not let herself sink down, and the high and sharp spirit of the past was also polished clean unconsciously.
Bai Poria stared at her for a while, and suddenly asked, "Don't you hate me?" Although the fall of the Xia family is behind the emperor's scenes, the Bai family is currently the biggest beneficiary on the surface, and Xia Xinxin's reputation is directly related to her. Bai Poria couldn't figure out why she could face her so calmly.
In other words, if she saw her old enemy, even if she didn't find someone to beat her up for a while, she would never talk to her in a low voice.
"I used to hate you very much, and I don't like you now, but I'm very envious of you." Xia Xinxin said unabashedly.
Bai Poria not only didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "I also think that I am quite worthy of the envy and jealousy of others." ”
Several women in the elegant room were speechless at the same time for her cheekiness.
Bai Poria didn't care what their expressions were, picked up the tea and took a sip, while motioning for Bai Guo to step forward and hand an envelope to Xia Xinxin, who took it and opened it, his face changed, and he said in a dumb voice: "What do you mean?" ”
The envelope contained a few silver tickets, and at a cursory glance, the total amount was at least three or five thousand taels.
Bai Poria said nonchalantly: "Money is very important when you are away from home, I think you will need these things as part of my thank-you gift." ”
"Did Steward Luo say that?" Xia Xinxin's face became very ugly, she didn't expect that someone she trusted so much would betray her.
Bai Poria didn't want her to blame the good person, so she explained rarely: "It has nothing to do with Steward Luo, it's just that I saw your maid send jewelry to Linglong Pavilion to exchange for cash, and I guessed something." I am the owner of this Linglong Pavilion, so I can naturally see the accounts of the guests. I haven't mentioned it to anyone else, so don't worry. ”
Xia Xinxin glared at her for a while, and finally said deflated: "What do you want?" "Her house is very strict, and she doesn't have many opportunities to go out, so she finally found a way to raise money privately, and worked out the details, but she didn't expect to bump into the hands of natural enemies again.
Linglong Pavilion turned out to be the Bai family's business? Why haven't you heard of it before?
"I want to help you, you're going to run away, I've even got the money ready for you." Bai Poria smiled innocently.
"Would you be so kind?"
"I've always been a good-hearted person."
"You, you ......" Xia Xinxin thought that her heart was dead, but she didn't expect to be brought back to life by Bai Poria in a few clicks.
"I don't want you, me, mine, the money is given to you, I won't take it back, if you still refuse because of a momentary anger, then I will look down on you." Bai Poria stood up and left the field with a few victories such as Baiguo.
Before leaving, he turned his head and said cool words: "I think you are still more like a person, you are only so old, what kind of ancient well is not waveless." I endure so hard and I'm not afraid of internal injuries! ”
Xia Xinxin was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Bai Poria said triumphantly to Bai Guo and Yangmei: "It feels so good to flirt with people!" ”
Bai Guo was speechless, and said in his heart: You won't be able to flirt with the leader of the Haida Alliance, so let's find Xia Xinxin to vent your anger......
didn't know that Bai Poria was indeed looking for Xia Xinxin to be angry, but the reason was that she was harshly teased by Hai Pumice.
Bai Poria has always liked to build happiness on the pain of others, so her mood will soon be cloudy and clear, and she will be full of smiles when she arrives at the old mansion, which is in stark contrast to the bitterness and sorrow when she goes out.
The atmosphere in the old mansion was solemn, Bai Changshan brought back a very bad news, the envoy of Tiantongguo arrived yesterday, and when he was facing the saint today, he suddenly asked to see the daughter who could make the beast bow down - Bai Poria.
The envoy of Tiantongguo is the prince of Xiyuan, who is a fellow mother of the emperor, and he brought his princess and three sons with him, and he revealed more than once that he wanted to kiss and kiss, and also married a famous lady of Qi for his third son and returned to Tiantongguo.
With Bai Poria's appearance, if he appeared in front of the barbarians of the same country these days, something would definitely happen, and Bai Changshan was very troubled about this.
The emperor's attitude is optimistic, but Bai Changshan has a status in the court after all, and he will not randomly order the mandarin duck spectrum without any scruples, but he can marry Bai Poria far away, he is a thousand and ten thousand.
Therefore, the emperor happily agreed to the request of the prince of the Western Courtyard, saying that a banquet would be held in the palace tomorrow, so that the princess of the Western Courtyard could meet the ladies and ladies of the Qi Kingdom, hoping to be able to make a happy event, and the twelve princesses did not have to be too lonely to marry in a foreign country.
At this point, the people of the Bai family understood that the emperor would not let Bai Poria go, the faces of the three parents were very heavy, and all the turtle qi that Bai Poria had suffered these days finally broke out, and sneered twice: "Okay!" I'll let them see and see, I'm going to leave and give me this kind of thing, I really think that our Bai family is easy to bully! ”
Bai Changshan was also disheartened by the emperor's attitude: "Ling'er can do whatever she wants, don't scruple!" ”
He wanted to see what the emperor was going to force him to do! I thought that after eradicating the power of the Mao family and the Xia family, the government would gradually return to the right track, but I didn't expect that the emperor's first thought was not how to rectify the dynasty, but to deal with him, an old courtier who had been loyal to him for decades.
Bai Poria saw that her grandfather said this, and she was even more fearless.
The Bai couple looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Bai Changshan and Bai Poria got along for a very short time, Bai Poria was a smart and assertive little girl who was pampered and a little rude in his eyes, he didn't know how destructive Bai Poria could be.
But it's okay, does their family pay less for the royal family? What do they get in exchange for their efforts?
Anyway, what should be done in the capital has been done, and they can't bear to continue to let Bai Poria swallow her anger, thinking about it this way, the Bai family is no longer sad, but faintly looking forward to tomorrow's palace banquet.
