Chapter 35: The Black Hand
Chapter 35: The Black Hand
Tongyun was crying breathlessly here, but Bai Shi looked at the tearful man in front of him for a long time, and pretended to be stupid and asked: "What kind of medicine is that medicine?"
Tongyun twitched and said, "Slave maid...... The slave maid was blinded by lard for a moment...... Someone gave the slave maid that kind of medicine...... It is said that the slave maid has this medicine, and he can get the favor of the eldest young master, and in the future, the house will definitely be the eldest young master's house, and the slave and maid are now with the eldest young master, and they have no name, just a girl who has a room, and they will definitely be able to have an aunt's position in the future, if they can leave a son and a half daughter for the eldest young master, there will also be a position for slaves and maids in this house in the future......"
Bai Shi still had a good time: "Who gave it?"
Tongyun gritted his teeth and refused to speak, Bai Shi could figure it out after a little thought, Tongyun also knew that he couldn't escape such a catastrophe, but she was born in a family, Lao Ziniang and her sister were both in the house, so she could involve one less person, and become less involved, at least not so that Lao Ziniang would have no place to stay.
Tongyun was a lot more sober at this time, and seemed to have figured out everything, and kowtowed three times: "Madam, the slave and maid do things alone, and there is no other person's business, this idea was thought up by the slave and the maid themselves, if the slave and the maid went to find it by themselves, I just ask the lady to read it on the slave and the maid did not succeed, only punish the slave and the maid alone, and don't be angry with the slave and the maid's mother and sister." ”
At this time, I saw He Jiaqing, who was wearing a moon-white robe, walk out, He Jiaqing was wearing a light cyan robe when he was outside, so that when he was wearing moon-white, the Bai family was stunned.
"The son said hello to his mother. He Jiaqing saluted respectfully: "It's all because the son is not filial, and his working mother came here so late." Fang Cai's son is inside, and the matter is probably understood. The son is a man, some thoughts may not be as meticulous as the mother, if it is not for the mother to protect the son, the son will have a concubine room before he gets married, but I am afraid that the son will marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and he will also be looked down upon by the Yue family. ”
said with a straight face.
Bai smiled with satisfaction: "It's good that you understand your mother's thoughts, Chang'an is a girl's family, even if there is only a son like you by your mother's side, if you can have a future and can afford our Gongchang Bofu, after Chang'an gets married, won't you be looked down upon by your husband's family? ”
Bai's words were frank, and she didn't hide that she was good to him, hoping that he would be able to help Chang'an in the future, but Bai said it clearly, she only had one son by her side, and he was born to his aunt like He Dingqing, and it was not easy for Bai to value him so much.
But when Bai said that Chang'an got married, He Jiaqing didn't know why, Lu Cheng's figure appeared in his mind, after so many years of hardcore brothers, what kind of person Lu Cheng is, he knows it very well in his heart, he is a weak and humble gentleman on the outside, but he has his own opinions inside, if there is a chance in the future, will his sister really marry him?
Thinking about it, I felt that this was too early, although Lu Cheng had been reluctant to marry now, but seeing that he was about to be eighteen years old, his sister was only twelve, thinking of Lu Cheng's eyes looking at her sister, He Jiaqing felt a little inexplicably unhappy.
Quickly suppressed his thoughts: "What does my mother plan to do with Tongyun?" After all, she is the maid that her grandmother gave to her son, and if the punishment is too severe, I am afraid that my grandmother will say something." And although Tongyun, the girl, has committed something now, when she first came to her son's side, she was quite dedicated. ”
Bai Shi thought for a while, and said: "It's better to send it to Tongzhou Zhuangzi, go to that place to hone for a few years, if you look at it, let the steward of Tongzhou Zhuangzi choose a small house for her, and it won't ruin her life, some people just listen to things they shouldn't listen to, so they have thoughts that shouldn't have been." It's not what I think in my heart, I'm punishing Tongyun now, I just hope that those who really come up with ideas can be a little more restrained. ”
Tongyun kowtowed to Bai three more times, knowing that it was not easy for her to leave her life like this, and she could even think of choosing someone to marry her in Zhuangzi in the future, which was not something that ordinary housewives could do.
Bai Shi didn't go to manage Tongyun either, but only said to Xirui: "Xirui, you go to the old lady's yard, the old lady shouldn't have slept at this time, and the ins and outs of this matter should also be told to the old lady, and it was claimed that Tongyun was annoyed by me, so I sent it to Zhuangzi." After all, Tongyun's mother served the old lady back then, don't let the old lady think that I am deliberately trying to save her face. You know what to say. ”
Xi Rui nodded: "The slave is provincial, Madame can rest assured." ”
Tongyun was taken out, and when he went out, he didn't struggle at all, but it was beyond Bai's expectations.
He Jiaqing looked at Bai Shi and said, "Mother came to see her son so late, shouldn't it be just to judge a Tongyun?"
Bai looked at He Jiaqing, who was becoming more and more progressive, and he couldn't say how emotional, glad that he hadn't been entangled in the problem that he couldn't have a son, but had sent Geng's son to his name early.
"Naturally not, today I have to thank Brother Yan for you to take Chang'an and Sister Qi back, if you let the situation expand, I am afraid that the reputation of the eldest sister and Sister Qi will not need to be wanted, even if you are tired of looking at Sister Wang, you will not be able to say anything good about your relatives in the future." ”
He Jiaqing was stunned for a moment, he didn't have the ability to predict the future in today's matter, if Lu Cheng hadn't sent someone to tell him, he wouldn't have been able to pick up Chang'an and them back like that: "Mother is not thanking her son, but she should thank His Royal Highness the Second Prince, this time it was also a coincidence, it happened to be seen by His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Xu Gongzi, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was very close to his son, so he also met his sister by chance, so he sent someone to find his son." ”
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, isn't he...... Isn't he in your father's Natanzhou?"
He Jiaqing sighed: "The current situation of the second prince, mother, you should know a little bit in your heart, only one draft, the eldest prince tried to find a suitable Yue family that could provide assistance for him to ascend to the crown prince, this kind of thinking can already be described as Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows, but the saint has no objection to this kind of thinking, if His Royal Highness the second prince does not slip back by himself, I am afraid that when he comes back from Tanzhou, the world and the imperial capital will completely change a different appearance." ”
After all, the Bai family is a woman's family, and they don't think about it so long-term, so they just patted their hearts and said: "My God! His Royal Highness the Second Prince sneaked back by himself like this, if he let the Holy Lord know, how would it be good? Wouldn't it be to punish His Highness?"
The corners of He Jiaqing's mouth showed a slight smile: "The Second Highness himself is like this now, it is better to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe it will have a good effect?" Mother don't worry, in fact, the Second Highness has left Tanzhou on the front foot, and there are already people from the eldest prince or Qing Concubine Niangniang on the back foot who have secretly reported the whereabouts of the Second Highness to the Holy Highness, but the Holy Lord has kept the secret report in the middle and has not sent it, and it is estimated that he also wants to see what the Second Highness will do. Those who want to stab the Second Highness in the back, no matter how arrogant they are, it is impossible to ignore the meaning of the Holy One, and if the Holy One does not move, how can they move? Just like Mother said, those people are black hands to the Second Highness. These black hands, the Second Highness can still expect them. If he hadn't tried to test how much of the Sacred Heart the Second Highness still had in the emperor's heart, His Second Highness wouldn't necessarily sneak back. Now it seems that in the Holy Lord's place, His Royal Highness is not the final conclusion of the coffin. ”
Bai Shi didn't seem to understand, but he still nodded.
The second prince Lu Cheng, on the relationship between relatives, also called Bai's cousin, but Chang'an has been raised in the boudoir since childhood, but he is not very familiar with each other, he has only met once, and if he meets it this time, he can save him, as a prince, it is indeed not easy.
Bai Shi suddenly thought of the other three words in He Jiaqing's words, and suddenly remembered the meaning of today: "Brother Yan, if your mother asks you, you have to answer your mother honestly." ”
Bai is a mother-in-law, but not a biological mother, when talking to He Jiaqing, he is usually kind, but he is rarely serious like this, He Jiaqing also put away the smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Mother, please speak." ”
Bai Shi stirred the veil: "Mother just heard that you mentioned Xu Gongzi in that words, this Xu Gongzi is the one who saved Sister Qi today? There are not many people surnamed Xu in the imperial capital, if you really talk about the son surnamed Xu who can come together with His Second Highness, it should be the Anshun Hou family, right?"
The Xu family now has only two sons of the same age, one is Xu Linche, the eldest son born to Princess Zhaochang, and the other is Xu Huanche, the second son born to her sister. If it is really a member of the Hou Xu family of Anshun and doesn't know He Chang'an, then it should really be the one born to Princess Zhaocheng, but Princess Zhaocheng ...... A widow after all.
But the Bai family is not really such a pedantic person, Princess Zhaochang can persist in her husband's family for so many years, her character should be fine, at most, she is widowed all the year round, and her personality may be slightly withdrawn, now she is going to look at others for Sister Qi, Sister Qi is going to marry, after all, it can't be Princess Zhaochang, or more to see what kind of person Xu Linche is.
"Brother Yan, the eldest son of the Xu family, what kind of person is he?"
