Chapter 211: Entering Beijing
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
On the day of entering Beijing, the weather was not good or bad, and the sun hid behind the clouds and did not show its head.
In April, the weather in the south was already warm as spring, but the capital was still cool, and Bai Zhi entered the city gate in a carriage.
When she was about to reach the city gate, she stretched out her hand and lifted the curtain to look at the word 'capital' on the city wall in front of her, and felt that this feeling seemed familiar, something flashed in her mind, she wanted to grasp it but it seemed that there was nothing.
There was something inexplicable about her feelings.
Xiao Jincao seemed to feel her nervousness and uneasiness when she was held in her arms, and it was rare that she didn't make trouble, looking at her with big eyes blinking.
Bai Zhi touched her head and fed her a sweet cake.
She is a concubine naturally will not go to the main door, the carriage stopped at the side door, the person who got off the carriage to pick her up was a person dressed as a grandmother, after she saw Bai Zhi, her expression flashed with a slight surprise, but she quickly returned to her solemn appearance, looking very majestic.
After seeing the ceremony, she led Bai Zhi into the house.
After passing through the weeping flower gate and walking through a long corridor, she came to the back garden, where she went to kowtow to Mrs. Luo.
Luo Shi is Lu Zhiyuan's wife, and now I heard that she has a three-year-old son under her knees, and Bai Zhi doesn't know anything about this woman who will control her life and death in the future.
It's not that she hasn't asked Lord Lu, but every time she mentions it, Lord Lu doesn't want to say it, she doesn't know the reason, and then she forgets to continue asking.
To be honest, Bai Zhi's heart was very worried, although Lord Lu said that her name was Bai Susu before she lost her memory, and she was originally the concubine of the Lu family, and the Luo family had long known about her existence, so she would not embarrass her. But she was still very uneasy in her heart, and she made up her mind to pay attention, and she must stay away from Roche in the future.
She had been playing out all kinds of situations in her mind about meeting Luo for a while, so she also ignored the strange expressions of the people she met along the way looking at her. I don't know how many times it will be performed, and Roche's Ronghua Courtyard will arrive.
Standing at the door to greet her was a maid named Qingmei, she saw Bai Zhi showing a somewhat strange look, Bai Zhi happened to see it, although she was very curious, but it was not good to ask too much, so she quietly followed the person into the door.
Luo Zhi was wearing a red dress sprinkled with flowers and sitting on a chair, her hair was meticulously combed, her face was covered with exquisite makeup, that noble and dignified appearance, she felt it from one foot when she entered the door Bai Zhi, but she felt even more strange, Luo Zhi looked very formal when he saw her, and it was more like hiding the uneasiness in his heart.
Bai Zhi shook her head in her heart, she was really amorous, according to Luo's identity and status, if she was uneasy when she saw her, it should be that she was uneasy when she saw Luo.
Luo's gaze has been fixed on Bai Zhi's face, she has mixed feelings in her heart, she didn't expect that the person who thought she had been dead for three years would suddenly appear in front of her so suddenly.
Her feelings for Lu Zhiyuan have become weaker and weaker in recent years, and she doesn't care who he spoils or loves, it won't be herself anyway.
Roche is worried about the child's problem, Bai Susu suddenly had an accident three years ago, although the body has not been found, but everyone knows that the chance of survival is slim.
Bai Susu had an accident and left a child who had just reached the full moon, Luo didn't think about helping others take care of the child at first, but by chance she heard the child's cry, she was slightly touched in her heart, so she followed the sound and looked at it.
It turned out that the nurse took advantage of the laziness at night and threw the child to cry there.
Roche saw a little child crying so pitifully, so he reached out to hug it and coaxed it. Maybe this is fate, the child stopped crying when she hugged her, and even grinned.
She had never had children, but she experienced the joy of being a mother this time.
Luo happened to have no children under his knees and was always worried, so he proposed to raise Bai Susu's child by his side, and at that time, Lord Lu was also busy with business, and he was afraid that the child would not be taken care of, so he naturally agreed.
The child had been raised under her lap since she was a month in infancy, and for three years, she had relied on the company of the child for many lonely and lonely nights. Now that the relationship has been raised, it is impossible for her to return the child.
Luo took a deep breath to make himself look less nervous, and at this moment Bai Zhi had already knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her.
"Get up." She heard her voice stiff and unnatural like she had never heard before.
Bai Zhi lowered her head, she could feel the kind of resistance that Luo Shi had towards her, and she asked herself if it was understandable, after all, no wife could be happy when she saw her husband's concubine, and it was normal to resist.
She stood up as she was told, straightened up and lowered her head, looking very obedient and well-behaved.
Roche sat her down, and the people served tea.
"In the past few years, the second master has been outside, thanks to Aunt Bai's care, you have worked hard. This pair of bracelets was given by the previous palace, so you can take them and play with them. Roche said lightly.
Bai Zhi actually didn't like this feeling in his heart, he treated Lord Lu as his own man in his heart, but in fact she was a concubine, and Lord Lu was not her at all, so Luo Shi took out a tone of thanking you for helping me take care of the man, she was panicked but couldn't refute it.
"The concubine is afraid, taking care of the adult is within the concubine's job, and I dare not call it hard." Bai Zhi lowered her eyes and replied.
Luo nodded and took a sip of the teacup casually, then smelled the things in Jiangnan in the past few years, and Bai Zhi also answered them one by one.
After asking the question, Luo had nothing to say, and Bai Zhi didn't speak. The room was quiet, Luo Zhi thought about how she would deal with Aunt Bai mentioning the child for a while, and Bai Zhi thought that Mrs. Luo was still good to get along with for a while, and did not embarrass her. The two of them didn't know how to speak, and the room was quiet except for the sound of their breathing.
After Bai Zhi silently drank three cups of tea with Roche in the house, it was almost time, and she wanted to leave.
Seeing that she didn't have any intention of asking about Lu Huai'an, Luo Shi was a little relieved, when she seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "Madam, the concubine has something to tell you." ”
Luo's heart was alarmed, and the hand on the armrest of the chair couldn't help but tighten a little, she stared at Bai Zhi tightly, and asked in a voice that was not calm, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's about children." Bai Zhi remembered that she hadn't told Luo Shi about the golden grass yet, although she was the righteous daughter who Lord Lu nodded and accepted, but Luo Shi was the hostess, so she had to talk about it.
Luo's complexion changed suddenly, and his eyes looked at her vigilantly, that appearance really scared Bai Zhi, and she wondered if she had said something terrible, how could she scare Luo Zhi like this.
Roche didn't say yes or bad, but his face kept changing.
Bai Zhi waited for a long time and didn't see Luo Shi speak, so she whispered, "Madam? ”
Luo Zhi frowned, she looked at Bai Zhi's face with a little uneasiness, and her heart was uneasy. She actually knew in her heart that Lu Huai'an had been on the family tree and officially belonged to her name, and it was something that could not be changed in this life.
But even if she knew that she still couldn't be full of anger in the face of the child's biological mother, she didn't know how much Aunt Lu doted on Aunt Bai, when Aunt Bai had an accident, everyone said that she was gone, but Lord Lu didn't believe it, not only did she not believe it, but in order to protect her reputation, people claimed that Aunt Bai volunteered to go to the family temple to pray for the Lu family.
If Aunt Bai really desperately begged Lord Lu to take the child back, what if it was on the family tree, this rule is set for women, and a man's word, if he changes it, what is it.
There was a strong uneasiness in Roche's heart, and she almost clenched her teeth and spoke, "Say it." These three words seemed to exhaust all her strength.
Bai Zhi's heart was full of doubts, and when she heard the words, she told her about Jincao, and she only said that Jincao was an orphan, and she was picked up by Lord Lu and her at that time, and when she saw that the child was pitiful, she took it by her side.
Seeing that Luo's face was really scary, she looked like she was facing a great enemy, and added in a low voice, "Jin Cao, this kid is very well-behaved, and I will bring you a concubine to show you." ”
Luo Shi has always been afraid that she would mention Lu Huai'an, but he didn't want her to mention it at all, but instead mentioned the righteous daughter Jin Cao.
Lord Lu mentioned this matter to her earlier, saying that he had accepted a righteous daughter in Jiangnan. This is just a trivial matter of adding more dishes and chopsticks to the family and having more dowry in the future. According to the financial resources of the Lu family, they naturally would not take such a trivial matter into account, so Luo Zhi decided that Bai Zhi was using the golden grass to lead Lu Huai'an again.
"Although she is a righteous daughter, she will be treated according to the concubine in the future."
Bai Zhi naturally thanked him and said a few words of thanks. Seeing that Luo's face was not good, he was afraid that he would be implicated, so he hurriedly got up and prepared to leave.
Luo naturally didn't want to keep her, and watched her leave with an expressionless face, and the big stone in his heart became heavier and heavier instead of letting go.
She sighed deeply, reached out to support her forehead, and leaned against the gold silk pillow behind her.
Qingmei brought her soothing tea, and she waved her hand to take it.
After a while, Luo opened his eyes, and it turned out that the next person said that Lu Huai'an had woken up and was looking for her.
Luo Zhi naturally hurried to the inner room, and sure enough, he saw Lu Huai'an, who had woken up, sitting on the bed, with a pair of big eyes and watery eyes on his red little face, which made people feel soft when they looked at it.
When the nurse saw her coming, it was like seeing a savior, and she hurriedly curtsied, "Madame is here, the little master has been looking for you since he woke up, and none of us can coax it." ”
When mothers like their children to stick to themselves more, Luo Che also has this idea, she likes Lu Huai'an to stick to her very much, so when she heard the nurses say this, she couldn't help but smile proudly on her lips, "This child is used to you not knowing, he wakes up and feeds some warm water." ”
Saying that, Luo Che personally poured a cup of warm water, walked to the bedside and fed it to Lu Huai'an, and after drinking the water, he really stopped crying.
The nurse naturally praised again, and Luo accepted it happily, she stretched out her hand to hug Lu Huai'an, and said in a gentle voice, "If you wake up, you will make trouble, who taught you a bad temper." ”
Lu Huai'an's small body was snuggled in Luo's arms, and the three-year-old child could already say a lot of things, he sniffed, and hugged Luo with his small arms, "I miss my mother, An An misses my mother." ”
Luo's face, which had always been ugly, finally came alive a little bit after hearing this, the smile on her lips gradually deepened, and when she saw that the nurse was still there, she casually said angrily, "This kid is sticking to me." ”
