Sweet Beauty Chapter 55: You’re the one who brings evil

The author has something to say: Hundreds of words are added at the end.

Although Mr. Bai was very sad and disappointed with the attitude of his mother, Mrs. Bai towards his wife and daughter, no matter what, the Bai family had the great grace of raising and nurturing him. The firm demanded to leave the Bai family and restore his original surname.

He was going to have a good discussion with them, and told them that His Majesty knew about the matter and His Majesty's intentions, saying that his biological father, General Rong Lao, entrusted him to the old Mrs. Bai to raise him. It was a helpless move in war. Concealing the identity is just to avoid the Rong family or the enemies of the previous dynasty. Now that the new dynasty has been established for more than 20 years, His Majesty already knows about this, and there is no blame. Restoring the surname.

This is all reasonable and reasonable.

But the Bai family raised him, even if he regained his surname Rong, he would still be the adopted son of Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai, and would still be filial to them.

Only at this time, Mr. Bai received a letter from his wife. Looking at the thin letter paper and the drawing document with blood-red handprints on it, the fragments of the past were all pressed together. The heart that confessed to talking suddenly went out with a "poof".

Mother, Mrs. Bai, with such an attitude towards her own room and such a cruel plan, where is there any trace of the affection between mother and son, the affection between grandparents and grandchildren?

His return to his original surname is definitely not a good thing for the Bai family, Mrs. Bai, let alone control their second room. In this way, I am afraid that this matter is not so easy to solve in harmony and beauty with both loyalty and filial piety...

I don't know what my father will think in his heart. I just hope that my father can persuade my mother... But thinking of Rong Weijia, the second master Bai has also been somewhat resistant to the subconscious of the old master Bai.

My father knew his own background, but he insisted on recognizing Rong Weijia as a daughter without telling himself, thinking that if the daughter had not told him Rong Weijia's identity and rejected her father's recognition of her as a female, then Your Majesty... Then he is probably not facing His Majesty's tolerant understanding and marriage, but directly bestowing a glass of poisonous wine or having gone to Dingdai and sitting in prison at this time...

Thinking of this, Mr. Bai is sweating profusely again...

Nowadays, he doesn't think that his father wants to recognize Weijia as a daughter for the sake of kindness, to repay the kindness of Rong's family or something. At that time, the underlying meaning of his father's conversation with him was nothing more than In order to gain the power of Duke Ling's mansion and restore the prosperity of the Bai family...

After getting along for so many years, Mr. Bai knows his father's obsession with restoring the glory of the Bai family's century-old scholarly family, and he is almost the expectation of his generation. In the next generation, nephews study He is not outstanding either, but the most outstanding is his eldest son Bai Yanzhang...

At this point, Mr. Bai Er had to be forced to make some preparations.

The next day, he asked for leave from the yamen and went to Chen's house. While his little daughter was there, he took out all the bank notes that his wife had given him earlier. A house, it is always inconvenient for my daughter to live in Zhuangzi, and my wife will return to Beijing later. It is better to buy a house as soon as possible, or it is convenient for my wife and daughter to live.

Master Bai Er suddenly came out with a serious look, and Er Uncle Chen and Jing Shu were both shocked.

But both of them thought about Ye Mama's assassination of their sister/mother at the same time. Uncle Chen and Jing Shu have already gotten the news. That's why Jing Shu didn't even want to enter the gate of Bai Mansion yesterday. , she was really fed up with the White House, and the man she still called her grandmother.

Therefore, Uncle Chen and Jing Shu both became Second Master Bai because they were stimulated by this incident and made up their minds to buy another house to settle their wives and daughters.

Er Uncle Chen pushed back Master Bai Er's silver note and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law's money should be taken back for the time being. In fact, my sister was very worried when she learned that Sister Shu lived in Zhuangzi. I have already sent a letter asking you to set up a house nearby for my brother."

"Now that house is almost ready. It's just on the West Street. It's very convenient to go to Baifu and Changmei Mountain. As for the money, my sister has already told me that I will wait until she returns. No need to worry about my brother-in-law.”

Master Bai Er heard this, and felt ashamed and guilty in his heart. His wife and daughter, he has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and a father, sheltering them from the wind and rain, but instead worrying about his wife and daughter everywhere If you are not careful, you may be harmed by others...

Who would have thought of this before...

It's just that before the second master Bai can come out of his shame and guilt to say something, the second uncle Chen has already asked in a tentative tone: "It's just that my brother-in-law just said to let sister Shu live in this house. , I will also live in when my sister returns to Beijing later, but I don't know how my brother-in-law will explain this to the Bai family? After all, the family has not yet been separated..."

Second Master Bai listened to Uncle Chen's temptation, a look of sadness appeared on his face, he smiled bitterly, and said: "Second brother, don't worry, I will arrange it from the Bai Mansion. Second brother doesn't need to ask more at this time, We'll find out in a few days."

As he spoke, he glanced at his daughter Jingshu again, and then said warmly: "Shu'er, I think you should stop going to Zhuangzi for the past few days, and live with your second uncle, so you can rest assured as a father. After a while, I'll arrange for you to move into that new house together for your father..."

Jing Shu's heart jumped when she heard her father's words. Thinking of what Jiang Yu had said to her before, could it be that her father already knew her life experience?

She took a closer look at her father, and saw that his expression was quite different from before.

Seeing that the second uncle seemed to have something to say, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and tugged at the corner of his clothes secretly, then raised her head and smiled at the second master Bai: "Okay, father. It's hot these days, father, you too Take care of your body, don't work too hard, and don't worry about your daughter, she is taken care of by her second uncle and aunt, and she is accompanied by You Xi and Senior Sister Yuan on weekdays, everything is fine."

After hearing this, Mr. Bai Er reached out and touched Jingshu's head, looking very relieved and moved.

In Jing Shu's memory, her father showed her love to her with such an expression, which seems to have never happened again except when she was a child.

After Mr. Bai Er left the Chen residence, Uncle Chen still seemed to have some doubts. Jing Shu persuaded him for a while, but he said that there must be something in the Bai residence, and if there is anything, just follow his father.

Immediately after returning to her room, Jing Shu ordered Dong Ying to send a letter to Jiang Yu, asking if his father knew anything.

The next day, Uncle Chen led Master Bai Er to the newly built mansion. Mr. Bai Er took a closer look, and discussed with Jing Shu about the specific distribution of the house. Only then did he feel relieved.

During the conversation with Mr. Bai Er, Jing Shu tried to find out that her father wanted to pick up the elder brother, elder sister, family, second elder sister and others to live in the new house. She was even more sure that her father knew about her. Life experience, and this is probably the rhythm of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestry and moving out of the Bai family directly.

Thinking of this, Jing Shu is naturally very happy. She knows her father's life experience, and she has long been looking forward to this day.

And Mr. Bai Er saw the new house, discussed with his daughter, returned to Bai's house, and thought about it for a while, thinking that the eldest son has already married and established a family, and he has already made a name for himself, these things should have been done earlier Let him know and prepare him psychologically, so that he can comfort his daughter-in-law and granddaughter and arrange some matters. So he called his eldest son again and told him the details of his life in this room.

Bai Yanzhang's aptitude is not so outstanding, but it is steadfast and down-to-earth and has a dignified character. Although Mr. Bai Er was very disappointed with his eldest and only son in the early days, but now he feels that he has never been able to teach him personally, and it is very gratifying that he has grown into what he is today.

Bai Yanzhang was naturally shocked to hear that his father, including himself, were not descendants of the Bai family.

However, Bai Yanzhang has grown up with his younger sister Bai Jingyu (except for the few years when Bai Jingyu was in Shuzhong), but neither of them will coax Mrs. Bai. The happy kind, he has really experienced all kinds of tastes in the Bai Mansion, and he has even heard rumors that his father is just a concubine of his grandfather's house, let alone his father and stepmother. Every year or during festivals, a large number of things are sent to the White House, but those things never fall on him and his sister, even those designated for the second room and for them.

As for his marriage, obviously his stepmother sent back tens of thousands of taels of money for him to prepare a dowry, arrange a new house, etc. In the end, only a third of the money was actually used for the dowry and wedding.

So although Bai Yanzhang is a good reader, he is not as unskilled as his father.

On the contrary, he is a very down-to-earth and pragmatic person, and he is very clear about the affairs of Fuzhong. As for the things that his grandmother deducted from his father and stepmother from Shuzhong to give to the second room, he used him and his sister as an excuse to change things from Shuzhong. Asking for property, he is very aware of these.

It's just that he has a good-natured personality, and he knows that most of the wealth is from his stepmother, not earned by himself, and his father is very filial to his grandfather and grandmother. The younger sister Bai Jingyu, to avoid her psychological imbalance in such an environment, became that kind of snarky temperament that only competes for petty profits all day long.

So at this time, he heard his father say that his father, including himself, was not a descendant of the Bai family, but a descendant of the former General Rong's mansion. Although he was also very shocked, he didn't accept it. Even, he was still in his heart. There is a trace of happiness and joy.

At least, it's not the concubine born in the grandfather's outer room as Sanfang said, isn't it?

Second Master Bai saw that the eldest son had a strange expression on his face when he heard this, but he was still able to stabilize, very calm, and felt relieved.

He patted his son on the shoulder and told him that once the matter was cleared up, their family would move out and live there. He asked him to arrange the affairs of their house as soon as possible, so as not to cause chaos and so on.

Bai Yanzhang promised to go down and secretly arranged not to mention it.

Let's say that the second master Bai has arranged these major matters, so he thought that after Xiu Mu had finished greeting Mrs. Bai, he would go to see his father, Mrs. Bai, to discuss with him first. In any case, Mrs. Bai is still easier to communicate with. Say something.

It's just that he didn't expect that before he went to find his father, Mrs. Bai had already found him.

On this day, after he gave Mrs. Bai a greeting, Mrs. Bai actually sent everyone away and left him alone. She smiled quite pleasantly and said, "Zhongqian, mother still has something to discuss with you today. , your father also knows about these things, and there may be some additional instructions, he is already waiting for us in his study, why don't we go to your father's study and talk for a while?"

Master Bai Er was a little puzzled and even looked at his mother with a little bit of caution. Seeing that she was facing him today, she had a rare smile for more than half a year, and that smile was even more gentle and kind.

But seeing her smile like this, not only did he have no joy, but his heart froze inexplicably.

Grandpa Bai's study.

Old Master Bai is sitting on the chair of the master teacher, his face is a little serious, his brows are slightly wrinkled, he doesn't know what he is thinking, while the old lady Bai sitting next to him has a rare good look. It is very kind and kind.

Second Master Bai waited for his mother to sit down, so he stepped forward to greet Mrs. Bai, then stood to one side and waited for the two to speak first.

Before Mr. Bai said a word, Mrs. Bai said gently: "Zhongqian, you should sit down and talk."

The second master Bai raised his eyes and glanced at the old man. The old man sighed inaudibly, nodded and said, "Zhongqian, there are still many things to discuss today, please sit down and talk about it." /

Master Bai Er sat down on the armchair below.

Old Mrs. Bai saw him sit down, she smiled and said cheerfully: "Zhong Qian, I asked you to come here today to discuss several matters with you, one of which is about Sister Shu's marriage."

When Mr. Bai heard that Mrs. Bai said about his daughter's marriage, his heart immediately sank. He still hasn't forgotten his mother and third siblings' wicked plans for his daughter's marriage.

It's just that his daughter's name has been sent to the Ministry of Rites to run for the draft, and he thought that their plan was over, or at least had to wait for the draft to settle.

At that time, the daughter has already given marriage to the third son of the King of Shu, and their unreliable plans will be revealed. In fact, he didn't want to delve into it. Those things were too unbearable to reveal.

But why did my mother bring it up again at this time? Haven't they given up yet?

I just listened to the old lady Bai continued: "Zhongqian, sister Shu is not too young, and it is time to get married. You also know that her birthday has a special fate, and her fate is full of cruelty and evil spirit. , I'm afraid this marriage is not easy to find."

"So my mother went to Jiang'an Temple a few days ago, and specially sought out the master Jiang Yuan from the temple to help her make a fortune-telling chart... ah, I don't know if I don't see it, it makes my mother's heart skip a beat. out..."

"Sister Shu's horoscope, alas, it is indeed very dangerous. The fate will be evil, and the evil will be cruel, hurting others and hurting yourself. If you are not careful, it may be an early death. And because of her cruelty The anger is too heavy, and the people close to her, including her grandfather and me, as well as her parents, uncles, and even her brothers and sisters, will be influenced by her, and they will absorb the blessings and longevity from her endlessly, and they will nurture the evil spirit..."

Old Mrs. Bai was talking. There were several times in the past that Mr. Bai wanted to interject that his daughter was looking for a show girl and should not talk about marriage, but Mrs. Bai did not give him a chance to speak.

And when I heard this again, Mr. Bai's veins burst and his lips were trembling. He couldn't speak for a while. His face was already green, and he was so angry...

Old Mrs. Bai still doesn't know it, she is still chattering with a look of compassion and worry.

She continued: "Zhongqian, you can't believe this, you can see that when she was not born, her mother almost died because of her dystocia, and she was infertile for many years. This time, her mother was able to take care of herself. , I'm afraid it's because she left Shuzhong."

......That's because my wife was harmed by the vicious means that the nanny you sent over!

"But since she arrived in Beijing, Wei Niang's body was in good shape, but suddenly collapsed. As long as she got close, it was like something was pressing my heart and sucking my brain. Life is better than death. She and Wei Niang are in conflict with each other. This is what you said that Master Huiyuan in Shu said, and it can't be wrong any more."

...Master Huiyuan said that his family's Shu'er had a very precious life, and her fortune was superhuman. Baifu and you couldn't stand her extravagance, that's why they said it against each other!

"So for my mother, I asked Master Jiang Yuan to see if there is a way to solve it. In this way, Sister Shu can also live in peace, and the people around her can also live in peace."

"Master Jiang Yuan calculated Sister Shu's horoscope and said that Sister Shu's horoscope should be matched with a harder horoscope, which can restrain her suffocating and hostile people, so that she can live a peaceful life. At that time Your three younger siblings happened to be with you as your mother, and when she heard this statement, she remembered that her mother's nephew had fortune-telling when she was a child, saying that she was the one with the toughest fate..."

Hearing this, Mr. Bai finally understood his mother, no, it was Mrs. Bai who viciously cursed his daughter for what purpose. It turned out that the ultimate goal was to give her daughter to the prodigal son of the Wei family to fill the Wei family's day. hole! For their filthy scheming!

Looking at her face full of folds like a mask, and her lips moving with black lips, Mr. Bai felt that he couldn't hold back the feeling of disgust, and he didn't want to. Consider her a mother!

He doesn't want to listen anymore, he doesn't want to explain or defend his daughter's horoscope, his daughter, he doesn't even want to talk about his daughter again with this vicious old woman in front of him!

He stood up and reluctantly suppressed his anger, but still interrupted her with a bit of sternness: "Mother, Shu'er is a candidate for the show at this time, and it is not appropriate to talk about marriage. This matter should be discussed later."

The word "mother" seemed to be squeezed out of the gap between the teeth, and it only sounded ironic.

Old Mrs. Bai was suddenly interrupted, and she was interrupted sharply by her son, who had always been respectful and obedient in front of her. She was at a loss for a moment. It was scattered in an instant, a dull pain came from the brain, and the emotions came immediately!

She frowned and resumed her usual cold and stern voice: "What a candidate for a beautiful girl! Her destiny is not suitable for marrying into a high family, let alone a prince, otherwise..."

"cough cough..."

The old man Bai, who had been silent for a while, heard a dry cough, interrupting his wife's next words that shouldn't have been said in front of her son.

The matter of betrothing Sister Shu to the Wei family was naturally discussed with his wife beforehand. He thought it was absurd. He didn't believe much in the words of the monks, but the old woman said it too seriously. It made him gradually feel uneasy, and he had to have a mentality of preferring to believe what he had, not to believe what he did not have.

In his heart, no one is as good as the Bai family, and he cannot tolerate any potential hidden dangers that may be the revival of the Bai family.

Also, the old lady said that if she wants to agree to admit Rong Weijia into the door and cover up the arrangement for them, Sister Shu's marriage must be obeyed by her.

Of course, Mrs. Bai also cryptically analyzed the benefits of marrying Sister Shu to the Wei family with him.

It's nothing more than that Sister Shu married to Gaomen, not to mention the fact that the fate has absorbed the wealth of the Bai family. With Sister Shu's alienation from the Bai family, the third or even second room of the Bai family may not be able to get any benefits. On the contrary, The second daughter-in-law has the support of her daughter who married into a high family, and she will not take them seriously. She is afraid that she will not be able to be as "respectful" as before (actually, it is filial piety)...

But if you marry Sister Shu to the Wei family, then they can take care of them in the future...

These philistine words, Mrs. Bai, naturally disdain to pay attention to them, but a penny stumped a hero, his descendants have an official career, and he lived a splendid and unrestrained old layman's life. Only he himself knows whether it has entered his heart or not.

But, Mrs. Bai said again, anyway, since they plan to recognize Rong Weijia, they already have a daughter who is married to a high-class family. Rong Weijia has the handle in their hands, and naturally she has to take care of the Bai family. , so there is no shortage of that detached sister...

But these things are behind the scenes, and there are some things that really shouldn't be said to my son directly.

The second son is very affectionate, and sister Shu grew up beside him again, so naturally it hurts more, and some words should be more euphemistic.

The old man Bai persuaded his son, whose face was a little purple, and said, "Zhong Qian, your mother also listened to the master's words for a while, and thought about the safety of Sister Shu and the safety of our Bai mansion, and then made peace with her. You should discuss the matter first, and don't worry about it."

Added, "As for the candidate for a beautiful girl, your mother has already met Mrs. Ling Guogong, and got the news from the palace. It is that the marriages of those princes have long been inseparable. Sister Shu should won't be selected, so you don't have to worry too much about that."

Master Bai Er looked at his father to comfort him, thinking that he had been silent all this time, he suddenly asked with some obscure inquiries in his eyes: "Father, you also agree to give Shu'er to all kinds of people. The lousy Wei family?"

There was a moment of unnaturalness on Mrs. Bai's face. He coughed and just wanted to cross the sentence, but he heard the son's "ha", and he had already changed the subject and asked, "Father, no? Said there are other things to discuss with my son today? What else?"

But it was Mr. Bai Er who watched the expression and reaction of Mr. Bai, and already knew the real answer in his heart. He didn't want to hear any more false words or high-sounding reasons.

Old Mr. Bai saw that his son automatically changed the subject. He felt that his son was still the governor. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "There is another matter. I have mentioned this to you before, and it is because I recognize that Mrs. Ling Guogong's family is a distant family member. The daughter of the Zhou family is Weijia."

"The Duke of Linguo said that the application for the draft girl is over, and we don't worry about outsiders speculating that the sudden addition of a daughter is for the draft girl or something. We can also start arranging the matter of claiming that week's girl. "

Master Bai Er heard about Rong Weijia again, and looked at his father blankly. He suddenly felt very tired. All those anger, sadness, and pain were gone, only a deep feeling remained. He felt exhausted, so he didn't intervene any more and let Mrs Bai go on.

He won't answer anything anyway, let them say what they mean first.

Say everything, everyone is relieved.

Seeing that his son was silent, Mrs. Bai mistakenly thought that he was listening carefully, and was even more satisfied, but he felt that it was not appropriate for him to say what he said later, so he turned to look at Mrs. Bai, and his eyes took some oppression and warning.

Old Mrs. Bai received the gaze of Mrs. Bai, and her heart was also stunned, and she suddenly became a lot more awake.

Actually, after the interruption just now, her raised emotions had almost disappeared. Thinking of the main purpose of the day, she tried her best to restore her gentle expression, but it was no longer as natural as it was at the beginning. He said with some ice **** in the middle: "Zhongqian, Mrs. Ling Guogong mentioned that the queen mother and the queen in the palace did not intend to betroth Sister Shu to several princes, and that day Sister Shu was offended at the Shu Palace. With the two girls from Duke Cheng'en's mansion, I'm sure they'll be swept down in the primary election, so you don't have to think that she'll marry another person..."

"Of course, you don't have to worry, Mrs. Ling Guogong said, Queen Hua and Hua family, she will help Sister Shu to intercede. As long as we recognize Miss Zhou, Sister Shu will be her own family in the future, so You don't have to worry about what revenge they will do to Sister Shu or our Bai family."

********

When Mrs. Bai said this, she went to see her son's reaction to see what he had to say.

Unfortunately, Mr. Bai didn't want to give her any response, but turned to look at Mrs. Bai. He now feels that talking to his mother, no, Mrs. Bai is superfluous.

He looked into the eyes of Mrs. Bai and said, "Father, do you know the identity of that girl?"

Mr. Bai's face suddenly changed, how could his son know about this? How can this kind of thing be known casually? !

His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at his son with a scrutiny. Unfortunately, Second Master Bai stopped talking about this after saying this. He took out a stack of documents from his sleeve and put it on the table of Master Bai, saying: : "Father, don't you also agree to marry Shu'er into the Wei family? Look at these first, and then tell your son whether you want to marry Shu'er into the Wei family."

Old man Bai looked suspiciously at the documents on the table.

Master Bai twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Here is the reason why my mother planned to marry Shu'er into the Wei family, the mother's plan for the conversation with the third sibling, the Wei family owes tens of thousands of taels to the gambling house. Drawing documents, selling ancestral servants, the old servants of the Wei family and the third younger siblings' plans for Shu'er, and the statement that Master Jiang Yuan received the silver of the third younger sister Wei's..."

"Father, take a closer look at these, do you want to marry Shu'er to the Wei family?"

He planned to go to talk to his father today after asking for peace, so he prepared some things, and he took them with him after hesitating for some reason. .
