Chapter 42: Mother-in-law
Su Yixin retracted her eyes and began to carefully look at the layout of the room, walked down in a circle, and found no problems, so she sat on the small tuandun where Luo was feeding the medicine just now and began to take her pulse.
After a while, Roche asked nervously, "Master, how is my son?" ”
Su Yixin raised her eyes and looked at Luo Shi, she shouted master in her mouth, and there was not much respect in her eyes.
"Madam, the pulse is not so fast."
Bai Yuannian heard the impatience in Su Yixin's tone, pulled Luo to the side, and whispered a few words, Luo opened his mouth to look at Su Yixin, and then stood quietly in front of the bed, silent.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Yixin withdrew his hand, and there was already a little guess in his heart, and said to Luo: "Have you touched the house where he lived before?" ”
Roche shook his head and became respectful: "Untouched." ”
"Okay, take me to see it."
The husband and wife attached great importance to Bai Shiqian, and took Su Yixin to the front yard together.
The house was very clean, and it could be seen that someone was cleaning it every day, and Su Yixin walked around and found no problems.
"Master, ma'am, give me the birthdays of you and your son."
Bai Yuannian asked people to take paper and pencils, wrote down the birthdays of the three of them, and handed them to Su Yixin.
Su Yixin quickly calculated, although their birth date is not the best, but it is also a rich and long-term life, and there is no punishment between each other.
Excluding Bai Yuannian and his wife, there are only the old ladies in the family and the subordinates who do things.
Su Yixin asked Luo to come to their birthdays and check them carefully.
The Bai family only has four masters, but there are more than forty servants who are waiting, and the Luo clan called all of them to the courtyard and asked them to write down their birthdays.
"Master, all the birthdates of all the descendants of the Bai family are here."
Qi Lao handed over the paper and looked at it one by one, and found no one who was seriously restrained with the master's eight characters, but he found a few people who were not right-hearted and cheating and slippery.
Su Yixin didn't say it explicitly, but Qi Lao was transparent, and Su Yixin knew what she meant by mentioning a few words.
In the end, the old lady of the Bai family was left, and Bai Yuannian's mother-in-law had not yet sent her birthday. For the sake of his son, Luo took Su Yixin to the old lady's yard in a hurry.
The old lady's yard is more magnificent than Luo's yard, the entrance is a stone paved road, the stone is black and white pebbles, the size is symmetrical, about 20 meters long, and then there is a zigzag verandah, the verandah handrail is painted with delicate flowers and plants, and there are inscriptions next to the flowers and plants.
The word is written in gold.
Is...... There's money.
The happiness of the rich, we don't understand.
After the corridor of copying hands, there is a rockery pond, and there is an octagonal pavilion, and the sun and breeze are just right.
Su Yixin saw an old woman from a distance, wearing a brocade dress with the word "Fu", her hair was meticulous, and she was holding an earthy yellow jar in her left hand, feeding the goldfish in the pond.
Seeing this scene, Roche was filled with breath in his heart.
Qian'er is her only grandson, if not her own grandson.
She's not in a hurry at all?
If other old ladies have a sick grandson, not to mention eating fasting and reciting Buddha, going to the temple to pray and burn incense, then they will go to see it every once in a while.
Even if it's pretentious, others feel more comfortable.
But what about her, she has been watching Qian'er once when she was just sick for more than half a year, and she has never been to Qian'er's yard again.
Just now she ordered everyone to have their birthdays, and half an hour passed, and there was no movement in the old lady's courtyard, and the four slaves and maids were not sent, let alone the old lady's.
Qi Lao came to inform him as soon as possible.
Entering the Octagonal Pavilion, Luo was angry, but he was very thoughtful.
"The daughter-in-law has seen her mother."
"Hmm."
The old lady answered, and after throwing two handfuls of bait, she turned around, and the maid who was waiting on the side hurriedly took the bait away from the old lady's hand, and another maid came over with warm water and waited for the old lady to wash her hands.
After a series of actions were completed, the old lady raised her eyes to look at Roche and pointed to the stool opposite: "Sit down"
Su Yixin was just about to sit down with Luo, when the old lady's gaze fell on her, although her eyes were cloudy, she was shrewd and sharp.
She asked, "Are you the master that my son invited?" ”
The old lady's tone reminded Su Yixin of the Internet in later generations, where everyone ridiculed experts all over the place, and they were no longer worth it.
Su Yixin also felt that she was not worthy of the word master now.
A high-ranking monk like Ming Dao is worthy of being called a master, but she is confident that one day, she will also reach this height, which makes people happy and convinced, willing, and admired, and call her a master.
"My surname is Su, and the old lady can call me Mrs. Su."
The old lady nodded, and then said, "Su Niangzi, the old body asks you, is my grandson really saved?" ”
"Yes."
Xu is Su Yixin's categorical reply, to the surprise of the old lady, this time she is a serious large number of Su Yixin.
The body is not high, about to Luo's chin, the eyebrows are curved like a crescent moon, the eyes below are clear and smart, and the most surprising thing for her is the temperament of Su Niangzi's body, calm and calm, restrained and confident.
"I have sent people to see the Taoist priests I invited before Nian'er, and when I came back to tell me, they all said that Qian'er could be cured, and everyone shook their heads and left Baifu."
"I'm old, I can't stand the joys and sorrows, and if I don't have full certainty, don't toss."
"Mother, Qian'er is your grandson, but if there is any hope, the daughter-in-law will not give up, not to mention Mrs. Su, she was introduced to the distant years by Brother Jiefu, and the daughter-in-law believes in her."
"It was because she was introduced by the Zhou family that the old body disagreed."
The old lady was so angry.
Luo was also angry, stood up and pulled Su Yixin to turn his head and leave, even if he didn't do it.
Out of the courtyard, Luo Shi took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears with his face to the side: "Master, let you smile, the old lady is the grandmother of her husband, and she has never been very close to us." ”
"No, it won't."
The matter of a wealthy family and a concubine is not uncommon, so there is nothing strange about it.
However, what Luo said later attracted Su Yixin's attention.
The old lady's family name is Gu, her ancestors did tea business, once became an imperial businessman, the scenery is unlimited, and the family is in the middle of the road, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, after the Gu family moved from Kyoto to Jiangning Mansion, they are familiar with the Bai family, and the old lady fell in love with Bai Yanxi, Bai Yanxi, the father of Bai Yuannian.
The two families were also considered to be a good match, and soon became in-laws.
After marriage, the old lady first gave birth to her eldest daughter Bai Shunying, and the next year gave birth to her sister-in-law Bai Yuanjie, Bai Yuanjie was seriously ill at the age of three and died.
The old lady was devastated, but also quickly pulled herself together.
Thinking that he was still young and could have another one, Bai Yanxi accepted Bai Yuannian's mother Zhu half a year later, and gave birth to Bai Yuannian a year later.
