Bai Yanzhang also has some feelings for Lan Mammy. A layer is a layer apart. If he can have a son, his daughter will be able to rely on him in the future.
Jing Shu and the Chen family returned to the Chen family, and Mrs. Chen was naturally very happy when she heard about the original family. At first, my granddaughter received the news that she was looking for the original family. Unfortunately, after the disaster and riots in the Northland, all business roads were cut off. The underground news is also complicated. It is really not easy to get any real news. What are you looking for? People are like finding a needle in a haystack.
Now the original family was actually rescued by Jiang Sangongzi, and they can get the help of the princess to seek medical treatment, which is really unexpected joy.
The Bai family will go to Beijing in November. Originally, Mr. Bai Er and Mrs. Chen planned to return to Changzhou City from Yizhou at the end of October, so that they could pack their luggage for Beijing, and do some final work at home. s arrangement.
But because there was no news from the Shu Palace, Jing Shu insisted on waiting, and the Princess Shu helped arrange this matter, so Mr. Bai Er had to go back to Changzhou City by himself at the end of October. He stayed at the Chen family in Yizhou.
At the beginning of November, news finally came from the Shu Wangfu that the Yuan family had arrived in Yizhou and was arranged by Princess Xia in a separate courtyard of the Wangfu. With the consent of the Yuan family's wife, she specially invited the Chen family to go there. See a doctor elsewhere.
The Wangfu Courtyard is not far from the Chen family's mansion, but it is only a half-hour drive away. After being invited, Mrs. Chen personally accompanied Chen and Jingshu to the Wangfufuyaoyuan in the afternoon.
Mrs. Yuan is a gentle and capable woman. She greeted the crowd and explained her apology: "Originally, when we came to see the lady for medical treatment, it was only because the old man was old and had inconvenient legs and feet, and it was really inconvenient to travel, so the lady was asked to do so. It's really rude to be here."
Chen Shi naturally did not dare to take it. After everyone was polite, Mrs. Yuan welcomed Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen and Jing Shu to the inner room.
The one who helped Chen to see the doctor was the grandfather of the former husband's mouth. He was already in his old age, and his body was still healthy. However, in the past few months in the north, there was an accident on the way, and his legs and feet were no longer able to Row. This time, they had just come to Shu, but just after they settled down, the grandfather personally came forward to see Chen's doctor. In fact, it was entirely because they had received the great favor of the third son, Jiang Yu, and tried to repay it.
However, the old man didn't say anything after seeing Mrs. Chen's diagnosis. Instead, he directly prescribed a prescription and asked Sun Er Yuandi to decoct the medicine by himself every day, and then Mrs. Chen lived in another hospital. I saw a doctor once a day, and the prescriptions were adjusted every day. It took seven days to see the difference, and I asked Mrs. Chen to learn some meditation methods every day with Mrs. Yuan.
Although everyone was a little confused, and seeing that the Bai family was about to leave for Beijing, the Chen family couldn't stay in Yizhou City for a long time, but after the old grandfather said something, Jing Shu begged again, and Chen family still lived in the end. In the other courtyard, Jing Shu naturally stayed to accompany her mother.
The Yuan family has a very simple population. The old man, Mrs. Yuan, and a pair of children from Mrs. Yuan, nineteen-year-old Yuan Di and fifteen-year-old Yuan Ling.
The original family was originally a big family, so why only these few people came to Shu? The original family did not mention this matter, and the Chen family and Jingshu would not ask each other. The riots after the natural disaster in the northern land, whether it was separation or other encounters , mentioning about it would not be pleasant.
When I first met Yuandi and Yuanling, both of them were a little taciturn, but when Yuanling heard that Jingshu would go to Beijing soon, she inquired about a lot about Beijing.
The Yuan family has always lived in the valley in the north. Yuanling's temperament is cold and sharp, and she often brings some irony inexplicably. She seems to be lacking in many things, but she is only passionate about the capital.
At first, Yuan Ling was cold and cold when she talked to Jing Shu, but after talking a few times, her attitude towards Jing Shu slowly improved for some reason. Doing things, going to the medicine field to grow herbs, tidying up the medicine field, or arranging the dried medicinal materials, etc.
After a few days, Jing Shu and Yuan Ling have gotten to know each other quite well.
This day, Yuanling came to look for Jingshu again, but instead of inviting her to the medicine garden as usual, she asked directly, "Jingshu, the third son is here, do you want to go over and thank him?"
Jing Shu stared at Yuan Ling, but did not respond for a while.
Yuanling sneered and said, "My family was in great trouble due to the rebellion in the Northern Territory, you wouldn't really think that my grandfather was still ill and willing to take action every day to help my mother diagnose and treat him. Just because of what Princess Xia said?"
Jing Shu heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and a thought flashed through her mind, but she couldn't believe it.
Seeing Jing Shu's dazed look, Yuan Ling snorted lightly, and said slightly sarcastically, "If Princess Xia speaks out, at best my mother will help her to see, and there is no need for my grandfather to do it himself. ."
Jing Shu lowered her eyes, but Yuan Ling's words continued to be heard in her ears, she said: "Speaking of which, we still have to thank you, in fact, the third son is willing to send someone to rescue our family and send us to the middle of Shu. It's because of the princess. Although it's true that the princess and my mother are old, but it's not important enough to let the third son go to find us in his busy schedule."
"It's just that the third son is concerned about your mother's situation. I hope my grandfather will help your mother diagnose and treat it."
Jing Shu's heart jumped inexplicably, and she was a little shocked for a while. She was not a fool. How could she not understand Yuanling's meaning, but...
She is not used to expressing her emotions in front of outsiders. She bit her lip and finally said, "Where is he, I'll go look for him."
"The pavilion in the backyard should be talking to my brother now, and you should still be in the past."
Jing Shu nodded and said nothing. She bowed to Yuanling, then said goodbye to her and took Dongying to the pavilion in the backyard.
Yuanling looked at her back, a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She didn't like Jingshu at first, she just thought that Jingshu was the kind of official who thought she was arrogant and arrogant but pretended to be. Miss, only the Third Young Master of the Shu Palace attaches so much importance to her, it is enough for people to hate her.
It was only after more contact with her that she realized that she was wrong. She could always find a similar depression to herself from her seemingly quiet and bright appearance, but what was commendable was the sincerity and pureness of her feelings. Yes, the thing that attracts her the most is her sincere and pure feelings, which are black and white.
She shook her head. No matter what, the Third Young Master had a big favor for her family. She could be considered a favor to him by breaking it out like this. She could see that although Jing Shu seemed to be living in a honey pot, she was extremely cautious and fearful about her feelings for some reason. Her temperament was not very resistant to sincere emotional treatment.
Also, thinking that Jing Shu is about to enter Beijing, she now has some other thoughts, but she doesn't know if her mother will be willing.
********
When Jingshu went to the pavilion, Yuandi and Jiang Yu finished talking and got up and left. Yuandi saw Jingshu and was not surprised at all, just nodded slightly to Jingshu's indifferent face, and then left.
The two brothers and sisters from the Yuan family are really bubbling with cold. Yuan Ling is cold and sometimes like a skating blade, but when they get along, Jing Shu is strangely able to catch her warmth, but Yuan Di really doesn't have any heat in her body. Just like an ice sculpture, people often feel that the herbs in his hands are probably warmer than him.
I just don't know how a gentle and capable person like Mrs. Yuan could give birth to such a sharp pair of siblings. I just think of the "honour and virtue" of the Bai Mansion and the "warmness and charity" of the Duke Ling's mansion. It is to make Jing Shu feel comfortable and relaxed.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Yu asked with a smile, "The Yuan family was born in the valley since childhood, and they don't like interacting with outsiders. It's not surprising that they are colder."
Jing Shu turned around and looked at Jiang Yu, her eyes were hesitant and complicated. This person has secretly helped her a lot in her previous life, but because of his bad temper and because she was afraid of him, she never wanted to contact him. , But in the end, with so many deceptions and conspiracies in her life, he never hurt himself directly or indirectly. Probably he helped her just because she was her.
She bit her lip and looked at Jiang Yu seriously and said, "Thank you."
She looked up at him with her head slightly raised at this moment, with an almost devout expression on her face, her fair and tender skin that was almost translucent under the sun, and her eyes that were as bright as washed agate. She smiled at her casually. At this time, seeing her looking at herself like this, seeing her own reflection in her dark eyes, it was as if the soul was being sucked in, and there were only two of them left in the world.
Jiang Yu looked at her and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch her cheek, and then the feeling of the touch of her fingertips shocked both of them.
Chen's words are true, but the property on this public account is nothing but her dowry property in the past, but those are actually just a fraction of her real property!
The Chen family is a wealthy and wealthy family, and they are the top merchants in the middle row of Shu. The parents of the Chen family have only two sons and one daughter. The two elder brothers take care of the younger sister. Except for the dowry on the surface, they don't know how much they subsidized in private. The Chen family even has shares in some of the Chen family's industries! The annual dividend is tens of thousands of taels.
Chen shi has been doing business since elementary school and is very good at running it. She used all the money to buy property. Because Jing Shu was young and innocent and pure in the past, Chen shi did not mention it to Jing Shu. Pass.
So even Jing Shu doesn't know much about this.
She didn't have any intention to hide it from Second Master Bai at first, but it was her mother's instructions, and she had the innate sensitivity of a businessman, and she really didn't like that the Bai Mansion always changed its name to ask for money, and Second Master Bai was too filial. So it was never mentioned.
I don't want to, but it comes in handy now.
Let's talk about Bai Er's veins twitching when he listened to his wife's words. Even if he is no longer skilled in common affairs, Chen shi kept talking about her annual dowry income, the expenses of the mansion, and the money sent to Beijing. That is to say, all of their White House is supported by the dowry of their wives!
How could he not know that his parents changed their ways to ask for money every year, but he felt that the White House was financially poor. One of the eldest brother and the third brother was teaching in the academy, and the other only knew the romance. They didn't make any money, and their parents were getting older. , Beijing has a lot of expenses, and his wife has a lot of wealth. He feels that he should be more filial to his parents and subsidize his brothers. But how do you know that his family looks rich, but it is also hollowed out every year? !
A few thoughts flashed through Mr. Bai Er's mind, but as soon as such thoughts flashed, he was suppressed by himself. He grew up reading the book of sages and has always abide by the rules and etiquette. He couldn't even tell his wife.
He thought of telling his wife to sell part of her dowry estate to deal with the current hurdle.
But it was all his wife's dowry. How could he let her sell the hole in the White House? Second, if you really sell it and fill in the current hole, what will you do if you don't have any income in the future? The parents have to raise it every year.
