Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Joy of the Oriole Temple
I heard Bai Zihua say timidly: "They don't know, that time, when they came back, I said that the naughty boy splashed my skirt, Qu Jialangjun was the master who came up to apologize, and left without saying a few words, and then a few times, I often went to the water's edge, branched them apart, and when I met a naughty boy, I gave him a few pieces of candy ......"
"You know that a child is easy to coax, so you are not afraid that he will sell you for two or three pieces of candy the next day?" You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie were quite speechless for a while, You Can thought that she was going to get married, although he didn't have any idea in his heart, he could only barely calm down, and said: "This matter is not a big deal, I think Mrs. Wu has taken your handwritten letter for these days, and there has been no movement, I don't think she has any intention of blackmailing you, but she is afraid that you will go to find her husband again, so she will not give it ......to you."
Bai Zihua choked up and said, "She is so fierce, how dare I go to find Qu Langjun again?" ”
"If I were her, I would be fierce!" You Can couldn't help but say a few more words to her, "You are also about to become someone's wife now, you have eaten for two days before, and you are not happy to hear that Lin Jialangjun is a prostitute and travels to the lake!" That hasn't taken home yet! But it's a joke! You can't tolerate it, why can't Mrs. Wu scold you a few words?! ”
Zhuo Zhaojie coughed and said: "Sister Bai, you can eat with confidence, we will take care of this matter for you later, you don't have such a thing!" ”
While saying that, she pinched You Can, You Can understood, and also gave Bai Zihua a package ticket to ensure that she had no worries, so she said and persuaded, Bai Zihua finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said: "This will be a little hungry." ”
"Jin Yan!" You Can called Jin Yan up and said, "Fourth cousin is hungry, go make something easy to come!" ”
Jin Yan was overjoyed when she heard this, and before she could thank her, she ran downstairs with her skirt and shouted all the way: "Hurry up and make some porridge, with a few of the girl's favorite dishes - You Xiaoniang and Zhuo Xiaoniang can be regarded as persuading the girl to be willing to eat!" ”
There was a rush at the bottom, so that people rushed to the kitchen to inform, and after a while, Lu's, Fu's and Meng's all rushed over in person, seeing Bai Zihua eating porridge in small bites, and his face was much lighter than the previous two days, they were so happy that they didn't know what to say, and Lu's and Fu's even red-eyed-"How can this good person be hungry like this when he gets married?" God's pity is that you are willing to eat, thanks to your cousin and the little lady of the Zhuo family! ”
I want to thank Youcan and Zhuo Zhaojie again, and the two of them dare not bear it.
In this way, Bai Zihua ate two small bowls of porridge in one go, and felt that it was not enough, so Lu Shi hurriedly asked someone to clean it up and persuaded: "You have refused to eat these days, but now you can't eat more at once, take care of your stomach." ”
Although Bai Zihua was still unsatisfied, he still listened to his grandmother's words in the end, and blushed to make amends to everyone, saying that everyone was worried about themselves, because she was a girl who had always been cherished, and now she was about to get married, naturally no one cared, and she was all right.
After such a toss, Bai Zihua was weak after not eating for a long time, and he fell asleep without saying a few words, so Lu got up and said: "Since you are sleepy, just sleep well, and when you get up, you can eat some broth to make up for it - there are not many days now, so you have to hurry." ”
Meng Shi hurriedly said: "Before I came, I told the kitchen to stew bird's nest. ”
"But it's thoughtful." Lu Shi and Fu Shi both nodded, and Fu Shi wiped his tears and said, "Bird's nest is a good thing, and now there are only ten sunrises left to nod, and I don't know how much I can make up...... Make up for it a little, otherwise how can you go out like this? ”
Meng Shi smiled and comforted: "Mother doesn't have to worry, the fourth sister is young, the young man has a good foundation, and the effect will definitely be seen in a few days, and the fourth sister is born like a mother, good color, and then she will be dressed as a bride and afraid that she can't let Lin Jialangjun be stunned after the fan?" ”
Bai Zihua blushed: "The second sister-in-law bullies people!" ”
Everyone laughed, feeling that the haze in their hearts had finally dissipated, and Fu Shi didn't want to delay his daughter's recuperation, so he asked Jin Yan Yinyan and others to serve him well, and he helped Lu Shi, and said to You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie: "The Xiying Courtyard next to it was packed up two days ago to prepare for you to come, take advantage of this situation to take you to see?" ”
Originally, when You Can came alone, the Bai family did not particularly clean up the yard, and the cousins asked her to live in Yunshui Building with Bai Zihua, this time because Zhuo Zhaojie also came, although there was one more little girl, but Zhuo Zhaojie also brought two maids Mingyin and Mingye, and it was a little crowded to live in Yunshui Building, not to mention that Bai Zihua was going to get married here, and the family would inevitably come over sooner or later to see more, Lu's, Fu's, and Meng's were fine, but Bai Zihua's father and brother were inconvenient, and the two men didn't come over because Zhuo Zhaojie was here, knew that she was the granddaughter of the Hou Mansion and the granddaughter of Hanlin, so she especially avoided taboos so as not to cause trouble.
Besides, there were a few girls who promised Bai Zihua to come and accompany them, and they would definitely not be able to live in Yunshui Tower when they came, so as not to think that the Bai family favored one over the other, it was better to call You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie to be hospitalized as soon as they came-It also seems that they attach importance to Zhuo Zhaojie.
The two naturally had no objections, and they both got up and said, "Labor grandmother and aunt!" ”
Out of Yunshui Building, because the maid woman followed, Lu Shi and others wanted to ask Bai Zihua about his heart, and there was no good opportunity, when they arrived at Xiying Courtyard, they took the two of them to see the cleaned room, greeted a few words, and was about to cut to the point, when they came to report, saying that Wulang was back, and they didn't see their grandmother in the main hall.
Bai Wulang is Bai Zijing, Fu gave birth to two sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter is Bai Da Niangzi married to a neighboring county, I don't want to die of dystocia last year, and even the child was not saved, so she was so sad that she couldn't say, the eldest son Bai Jia Erlang is the same as You Shuo and You Chi of the You family, and has no talent for reading, but Bai Erlang can think about it, and wholeheartedly follow his father to take care of the family business, and he is not envious or jealous of his younger brother Goro, who has high hopes, but he is happy in it.
There are two younger brothers under Bai Wulang, but they are all concubines - this Bai Zijing is the best and most promising one of the Bai family's books, and he is the youngest son, and the elders are naturally like treasures, this will hear that he came back from Huaixing Academy, because it is not the time for the academy to be on vacation, Lu and Fu were very surprised, and hurriedly said goodbye to You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie, and hurriedly went to ask what was going on.
When they left, Zhuo Zhaojie asked Ming Yin to find tea leaves and make tea, and smiled and bitten You Can's ears: "Grandmother Lu and Aunt Fu are afraid that they can't imagine that Bai Wulang is coming back for such a non-New Year's Day!" ”
"Just talk too much!" You Can glanced at her with disgust.
At this time, Mingyin made tea and came up, Zhuo Zhaojie took a sip, and said to them: "I have something to say to my cousin, you go out first." ”
You Can will know, and also ask lychee and longan to go out first.
There were only two people left in the room, and Zhuo Zhaojie said first: "Cousin, let me tell you the truth, this matter must be told to Grandmother Lu and Aunt Fu first." ”
"How does this work?" You Can changed color and said, "I said, you want to discuss a method with me!" How could I tell them? If there are still some days, it's okay, now that the marriage date is imminent, this is going to be a big thing, don't you know - Aunt Fu is a person with many rules! ”
"It's because of big things that we can't afford it!" Zhuo Zhaojie saw that she really wanted to hide the meaning of the Bai family, and his heart sank, "I know that my cousin and Sister Bai are good friends, but my cousin also thinks about it, this is a matter related to the future of her daughter's family, or it involves in-laws with the Lin family!" At the beginning, Bai Wulang and his family mentioned that Lin Jialangjun, wasn't it because he liked him that he learned well and had a future in the future, so he was willing to tell Sister Bai to him? If it is because of this, then Lin Jialangjun will enter the Shi in the future, and Bai Wulang will also enter the Shi, wouldn't there be one more enemy for nothing? It's not something we can account for! ”
You Can listened, was silent for a while, and said, "It's just the eldest aunt...... I'm afraid Sister Bai ......" Although You Can is annoyed that Bai Zihua is brainless, whether it is his cousin and the future sister-in-law, he still can't bear to see Bai Zihua punished.
"No matter how good Aunt Fu is, she is also Sister Bai's biological mother!" Zhuo Zhaojie sighed, if she had known that Bai Zihua was like this, she wouldn't have come to this troubled water, but now that everyone is here, she has heard about it...... It's too late to retreat, so I can only remind, "Sister Bai is gone before, and Aunt Fu's sad hair is half white!" Now that Aunt Fu is Sister Bai's biological daughter, how can she not hurt her? Besides, my cousin is worried about Sister Bai's heart, so that the Bai family members will punish her if they know it, and think about it, what can we do now that we know that the letter is in the hands of Mrs. Wu? Cousin, don't forget, when we go out today, we are going to the Bai family to accompany Sister Bai, if you want to go elsewhere, how can it be possible without the consent of the elders! We haven't heard of Qu Jiazhuang, how can we explain that we want to go over to the elders for no reason? ! ”
Seeing You Can's hesitation, she persuaded again, "Cousin, think about it again, Sister Bai is now the one who is about to leave the cabinet!" The elders are not in a hurry for her tea and dinner, they are angry again, who will punish her at this time? If you want me to say, I want to say this, the elders will neither punish nor say it seriously, lest Sister Bai make any mistakes when she gets married! will only try to end the matter for her - don't talk about it now, will it be delayed until after marriage? Seeing Sister Bai like that, she didn't give her a letter of approval before leaving the cabinet, but now she has eaten two bowls of porridge temporarily, and I'm afraid I'll have to worry about it again in two days! How do you go out? ”
You Can was moved by her and said, "Then let's go together?" ”
"I can't go first." Zhuo Zhaojie said to her, "Although I call my grandmother and aunt like my cousin, I am separated by one layer, you are either the granddaughter of the Bai family, or the future daughter-in-law of the Bai family, planning for your cousin and sister-in-law is not an outsider, you have to go alone, if Grandmother Lu and Aunt Fu call me to go." ”
And he said, "Naturally, if you don't call me, I won't talk nonsense." ”
You Can pursed his lips and said, "You have always been more stable than me, they won't think much about it." ”
After the two discussed this, they called someone in to serve again, and You Can instructed Lychee: "I actually forgot, my mother has a box of snacks that I told my grandmother, I seem to have put it in my luggage, it is the green one, you go find it, and then inquire about my grandmother's side, see if it is convenient for me to go over?" ”
Lychee went to get a snack, and then went to the outside of Xiying's courtyard to ask, and came back and said, "The girl can go over at any time, Bai Wulang just met the elders, and he will go back to his Tingsong Pavilion to study." ”
You Can said: "It's very good, but to send a box of snacks, I'll go alone, Zhaojie, you just said that you are tired, just go to sleep first." ”
Zhuo Zhao nodded: "Okay." ”
