Chapter 16: Li Xinya
However, news came from Huzhou half a month ago that Mr. Li had passed away.
Li Ru suddenly heard the bad news of the death of his father, Mr. Li, and suddenly fell ill, Bai Jinghuan was about to take the hospital exam, and Bai Yili was a new official who had just taken office, and he couldn't leave, so in the end, Bai Yixiao, the younger brother, took Bai Jingxu, the cousin of the long house, to the funeral together.
It was only a few days away from Linzhou to Huzhou by water, and after dealing with Mr. Li's funeral, Bai Yixiao took Li Xinya, an orphan girl, back to Linzhou.
Bai Wanyu followed Bai Wanyue and the others to Songshou Temple, and as soon as she entered Songshou Temple, she heard a slight sobbing sound from inside, and the sound quickly stopped.
The maid Lotus Ye, who was guarding the door, immediately went to the door to report when she saw Bai Wanyue and a few people coming, and then opened the door curtain for Bai Wanyue and a few people to let them in.
Bai Wanjiao walked at the end, and when Bai Wanjiao walked in, she saw a girl wearing a plain white cloud pattern skirt sitting next to Mrs. Bai, the girl was petite, looking seven or eight years old, and a pair of willow leaves and eyebrows were born on the face of the small melon seeds, and the eyebrows were frowning, with the girl's pair of eyes like a clear spring, a small nose, and thin lips of light pink, the girl's whole person gave people a kind of Chu Chu moving posture that I saw pity.
This is Li Xinya, a peerless beauty who attracted the hearts of countless sons of families in the realm in her previous life.
"Granddaughter greets grandmother!"
Bai Wanyu followed the sisters to greet Mrs. Bai, and Mrs. Bai looked at the eight granddaughters standing below, although not all of them made her like, but standing together was still very eye-catching.
"This is your cousin Xinya, all of you are here to see the ceremony." Old Madam Bai looked at Bai Wanyue and said with a smile.
When Li Xinya heard Old Madam Bai's words, she immediately stood up and walked over politely.
"Cousin." Li Xinya first leaned over to say hello to Bai Wanyue, her cousin.
"Cousin." Bai Wanyue also returned the salute politely.
Bai Wanyue was followed by Bai Wanyi.
"Cousin Wanyi!" Li Xinya and Bai Wanyi have a significantly better relationship, so they brought each other's girlfriend names when they saw each other.
"Cousin Xinya!" Bai Wanyi was also happy to see Li Xinya, but when she thought that her grandfather had just died, and seeing Li Xinya wearing a plain dress and the unconcealable sadness on her face, she was also depressed.
"Cousin!"
"Cousin!"
Bai Wansi and Bai Wanyu are both younger than eight-year-old Li Xinya, so they naturally call Li Xinya's cousin.
"Cousin!"
Li Xinya bowed over Bai Wansi and Bai Wanyu respectively to return the salute.
greeted Bai Wanyue, Bai Wanyi, Bai Wansi, and Bai Wanyu who were standing in the first row, and Li Xinya then walked to the second row.
Standing in the second row are Bai Wanzhen, the maid of the long room, Bai Wanqian, the maid of the second room, Bai Wanxuan, the maid of the fourth room, and Bai Wanxuan, the youngest of them.
"Cousin." Bai Wanzhen lowered her eyebrows.
"Cousin." Li Xinya returned the salute, etiquette rules, but from Bai Wanyan's angle, she still saw the contempt that flashed on Li Xinya's face under the bowing of her head.
Later, when Li Xinya met Bai Wanqian and Bai Wanxuan, her face was friendly and rude when she looked up, and her face always showed disdain, contempt or arrogance when she lowered her head.
"Cousin." Bai Wanyan was wearing a veil, she was small and small, and her voice was thin, and when she lowered her eyes to say hello, Li Xinya, who was taller than Bai Wanyan, did not see the indifference in Bai Wanyan's eyes.
"Cousin." But when Li Xinya looked down at the veil on Bai Wanyan's face, her face was slowly disgusted.
After a ceremony with different thoughts between sisters, Bai Wanyan still adhered to the style of low-key invisible people, standing behind the Shen family in a regular manner, small and small, and no one cared, so except for the beginning of the ceremony, after Bai Wanyan spoke, no one took care of Bai Wanyan until the time of the meal.
Bai Wanqi herself was also happy to be idle, until she heard Shen's words: "We will finish eating at your grandmother's place in a while, you can go back to your own yard." ”
This is the meaning of driving Bai Wanjiao away, Bai Wanjiao didn't bother to stand here as a stake anymore, and then leaned over and left after answering yes obediently, no one was alarmed.
Shen Shi watched Bai Wanyu leave obediently, frowned, turned his head sideways to Bai Wansi beside him and asked, "Sisi, have you noticed that little girl has been too quiet recently?" ”
Bai Wansi didn't care much about her mother's question, and replied casually: "Isn't it just right, she is an ugly girl who is not quiet, do you want to be more annoying!" ”
"Yes." Hearing his daughter's answer, Shen's doubts dissipated instantly, and he turned his head to continue listening to the laughter in the room.
Bai Wanyu took the spring and the summer out of the hall of Songshou Temple, standing at their door, behind them was a happy laughter, and in front of him was the silence and sadness of the sunset.
"It's getting dark, Miss Nineteen still lights two lanterns and leaves." As she spoke, Hexiang turned around and took out two lanterns from the room next to her and handed them to Herald Spring and Zhixia.
"Thank you!" Bai Wanyan knew that Hexiang didn't do this to please herself or anything like that, but Hexiang had always acted thoughtfully, but she still thanked her.
The candle flame flickered, and Bai Wanyan was only halfway through when a figure ran in front of her, seeing that the figure was about to hit Bai Wanyan, Bai Wanyan's footsteps immediately turned sideways, and the figure directly hit the two people who were walking behind Bai Wanyan.
Three ouch sounds sounded at the same time, and the two lanterns rolled to the ground, and Bai Wanyu quickly lifted the lantern closest to her, so that this lantern did not end up as well as the other lantern.
"Yuqing?" Bai Wanyan carried a lantern to illuminate the three people who fell to the ground in front of her, and when she saw the people who bumped into the spring and the summer, Bai Wanyan was stunned for a moment.
When Yuqing heard the voice, she immediately stood up and leaned over Bai Wanyan and said, "Miss Nineteen." ”
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Wanyan looked at Yuqing, who was still immature and choked in front of her, and thought of the Yuqing in her previous life who had cultivated a charming and tender body in order to compete for favor, and sighed that a person could have two faces: innocent and charming.
"Ask Miss Nineteen to save the fourteenth young master, the young master suddenly coughed up blood, the slave maid went to ask the house doctor, the house doctor said that there was no cure, the slave maid wanted to ask the third lady to invite Lang Zhong outside to come into the house to show the young master." Yuqing said that she had already knelt down on her knees and kowtowed to Bai Wanxiu several times, Yuqing was also anxious to go to the doctor, completely unexpected, that is, Bai Wanjian's situation in the mansion was not as good as Bai Jingxiu, the young master who came out.
But Bai Wanyan also knew that Yuqing had no choice, in his previous life, his cousin died when he was young, and it seemed that it was not long after this.
Thinking of this, Bai Wanjian's heart couldn't help but tighten, it was Bai Jingxiu's untimely death, and not long after, Bai Jingxiu's biological mother Aunt Zhao also committed suicide by hanging herself, and Aunt Zhao's maid Yuqing became the favorite concubine of her father Bai Yixiao two years later, and she has been fighting with the Shen family for many years, and finally Yuqing was beaten to death by the Shen family for fornication.
Maybe Bai Jingxiu's untimely death was because of this serious illness, Bai Wanzhu didn't say that he knew Shen very well, but the two generations still knew Shen a little bit about Shen's contact, Yuqing went to ask Shen now, Shen would not see Yuqing and would not ask a doctor for Bai Jingxiu, but tomorrow Shen will definitely pretend to be concerned about inviting a doctor into the house, and personally take the doctor to visit Bai Jingxiu, who is seriously ill.
And in the end, Bai Jingxiu's illness will be treated by the doctor, but the result must be that the more he is treated, the more serious it will become, and even like in his previous life, Bai Jingxiu will die early due to serious illness.
