Sweet Beauty Chapter 106: Dream in the past two
The Jinjiang system is anti-theft, and the latest update can only be seen if the proportion of VIP chapters purchased is more than 40%
When Mrs. Chen heard Jingshu's words, her heart was really distressed and sour. Her Jingshu really grew up overnight. This should have been planned and planned for her by her mother, but now She wanted to let her daughter carry the burden alone, and I don't know how many days she had calculated in her heart before she dared to come out of the tray with her tremblingly.
She stretched out her arms, put Jingshu in her arms, stroked her hair, and said softly, "Shu'er, you really don't like that son of the Wen family?"
Jing Shu made a muffled "um" in her mother's arms,
Chen shi hugged her daughter and pondered for a long time. She had long been displeased with the Wen family. Now that she knew her daughter's feelings, she secretly made a decision. She had only one daughter, and she would never let her suffer any grievances.
Since it has been decided, it is natural to leave the family as soon as possible. First, I don't want my daughter's reputation to be damaged. Second, my daughter is not young. This marriage is not right. Otherwise, in the White House, many things will be more difficult to control.
Chen thought for a while, and then comforted Jingshu and said, "If that's the case, don't worry, mother will think of a way to withdraw from this marriage, but you are not allowed to do things like today at your own discretion, so as not to spread the word. You've ruined your reputation, you know?"
Jing Shu was moved and happy when she heard her mother's words. She knew that her mother loved her, but she never thought that she could convince her mother to stand on her side with just a few words on such a big thing. The rules and regulations set by the world, her nose is sore, and she muttered: "Mother, it's just father..."
Chen stroked her hair and said, "Don't worry, I have my own opinion about your father."
Jing Shu leaned on her mother's arms contentedly, only to feel that this life has not come back in vain, that she can become more intimate with her mother, and she can also share her worries in the Bai family in the future, so she feels that it is enough.
Jing Shu rested in her mother's arms for a while, then remembered something again and said, "Mother, my father will be in office at the end of the year. I'm afraid he will return to Beijing to report his duties, and maybe he will never return to Shu." /
"A few of my maids are from Shu, and the two big maids, Bi Xuan and Biman, are both older, and Bi Xuan is already married. The two little maids have their families here. There are not many people who can go to Beijing with them. If they are forced to take them regardless of their wishes, it will not be beautiful. It is better to buy a few carefree ones now, or let Bi Xuan and the others take them with them. use."
After a pause, she said, "Even on the mother's side, it was prepared early."
At that time, she only brought Mammy Lan, Biman and two little girls who had just bought them to Beijing, and they all went to the White House to make arrangements. Now I think about it, Mammy Lan was originally from my grandmother, Biman With an impure mind, it is no wonder that whether he is in the Bai Mansion or the Duke Ling Mansion, he is always passive, blinded and unaware.
Chen shi nodded, feeling very proud of her daughter's thoughtfulness. Although she had thought about it, she had neglected it because of a lot of things recently, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't be sloppy.
Seeing her mother's agreement, Jing Shu couldn't help but think of the White House in Beijing, and she couldn't help but make up another idea, and said coquettishly, "My daughter heard from Mother Lan that the White House in Beijing is very strict, and the grandmother is quite strict, but the mansion is very strict. When I was young, my daughter would definitely be unaccustomed to living there. Isn’t there a Zhuangzi in the mother’s capital too? It’s just a bit far away. If my mother had arranged it earlier, let someone build another house in the capital in the name of my uncle, and arrange for the staff to go there earlier, and then the time will come. Said it was given to us by my uncle, how about we find a chance to move in there?"
Chen Shi was a little stunned. She really didn't think about this, but it's not that she hasn't been to the White House in Beijing since she got married. It's really boring to live there, especially the children of the younger generation have become biological children. , the house is long enough to live in, and the whole family has to squeeze into a small yard. Although my daughter's proposal may not be feasible, the Bai Mansion and my husband may not agree to it, but it is always good to be prepared. It's good at once.
Or put a small house next to the White House, so that it can be said that it will not disturb the elderly and elder brothers and sisters, and also fulfill the theory of being unfilial to parents, and it may not be impossible to plan in detail.
Jing Shu saw her mother's temptation, and was secretly happy. Her mother was rich, but she returned to the capital Baifu in her previous life. Because of her unfamiliar life and her father's filial piety, not only was he restricted everywhere, but the dowry was also repeatedly subsidized by the Baifu's "honor" "The big hole", but only because he was born in a merchant and failed to have children, and was disliked by his grandparents, he was in a difficult situation.
This world must be well planned and not left to anyone's hands.
*******
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner.
Mrs. Wen and Mrs. He, the step-wife of the prefect of Changzhou City, are cousins.
Before Wen Xiyuan and Jingshu got married, He Zhifu still wanted a concubine to Wen Xiyuan, but before it was proposed, the Wen family and the Bai family agreed to marry, and the matter was abandoned.
Mrs. He also has a son, who is about the same age as Wen Yuhan. Although she has only passed the talent test, she has not yet achieved fame, but how many young people can there be? Mrs. Wen also considered for a long time that she wanted to give her daughter to the He family, but her cousin Mrs. He had been practicing Tai Chi and did not agree.
On this Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. He was accidentally ordered by her husband He Zhifu. Although she was surprised and a little reluctant, she still warmly received Mrs. Wen who came over to greet her.
Mrs. He heard that her cousin was planning to go to the capital to accompany Wen Xiyuan to the Spring Festival, and she felt a little sour and disdain, but she said on the face: "It's also my cousin, she is so caring, so she can raise her. Such an excellent son. A few days ago, I heard my master say that his cousin, the minister of personnel, Mr. Liu, read Xi Yuan's article and liked it, and then I heard my master praise Xi Yuan as a talent, I really want to praise my daughter It's good to give it to Xi Yuan."
Even if Mrs. Wen is not familiar with the Dazhou official system, she also knows what the position of the minister of officials is, and she heard from her cousin that the minister of officials was born in a family of officials and eunuchs in Beijing. But it has long since fallen and has no power to compare with.
Mrs. Wen's heart was very moved, but she didn't show it on her face. She only said that her cousin had won awards, and her son was promoted by his brother-in-law.
Mrs. He just smiled and sighed slightly: "My cousin also knows that my master never speaks falsely. I don't lie in front of my cousin. My master had the idea to tell Sister Xi. Xi Yuan, just thinking about Xi Yuan's aptitude, I am afraid that Sister Xi will also wronged him, but I never thought that Xi Yuan would make a marriage in a hurry, which is really a pity. I heard that the powerful people in Beijing have always been He has the habit of catching his son-in-law at the bottom of the list, but any young jinshi can marry a noble girl..."
Sister Xi is the concubine of the He Zhifu family.
While talking, Mrs. He watched Mrs. Wen's complexion change. When the heat was almost over, she stopped talking and stopped talking. Instead, she praised Wen Yuhan next to her.
Wen Yuhan just heard the words of her cousin, Mrs. He, and her heart was pounding. She knew that if her brother could marry a high-ranking sister-in-law in Beijing, it would be a great help to her marriage.
Even for the sake of marriage, for the sake of the elder brother's career, the mother and sister-in-law would only think about marrying her up so as to obtain mutual help in the future, and would not give themselves away casually.
In addition, my sister-in-law was born in Beijing, and she is familiar with the elites in Beijing. Seventy or eighty percent of her marriages are to be found in Beijing. Naturally, it is very important to have a sister-in-law who is familiar with the elite circle in Beijing. Although Jingshu's family is rich, Jingshu and their mother and daughter are smeared in Beijing...
No matter how much the little girl was thinking, Mrs. He was still praising Wen Yuhan and said, "Cousin is really lucky, not only is my son a young talent, but this daughter is also well-bred, filial and sensible. If I have a cousin Half of my luck, it would be nice to have a daughter like Han'er."
After changing his voice, he said again, "Master Hui Xin from Tsz Shan Monastery said a few days ago that next summer is the peak season for my brother Rong. It will become more prosperous.”
Brother Rong is Madam He's only son, He Rong, the second son of He Zhifu.
Mrs. Wen and Wen Yuhan's heart skipped a beat. Today, my cousin is so enthusiastic, she keeps jumping out of praise and flattery, and finally she praises her daughter and talks about his son's marriage, which must make Mrs. Wen ponder.
She felt that the Minister of Staff was really interested in her son. If you just like it casually, can your cousin be so diligent?
And He Rong's marriage, without He Zhifu's nod, is afraid that even the cousin will not dare to talk nonsense and promise.
Before leaving, Mrs. He also threw a big gift for them. Mrs. He said that the He family has a small house in the suburbs of Beijing. When the Wen family comes to Beijing, if they don't dislike it, they can temporarily lend them to live there. , everything inside is also readily available, they just need to rest assured to live.
It is not He Zhifu's proposal to borrow the house like this. It is definitely impossible for Mrs. Wen to understand her cousin's temperament. That is to say, the minister of personnel must highly appreciate Yuan'er's article. , Mrs. Wen only felt that her heart was full of determination and ecstasy.
On returning home and thinking about the engagement with the Bai family, I vaguely began to regret it.
And a few days ago, Mrs. Wen told Mrs. Bai Chen about their family's entry into Beijing at the Cishan Temple. Mrs. Chen didn't say anything at all, but only said a few useless polite words, which made Mrs. Wen's heart skip a beat. I am a little dissatisfied, and now the comparison is even worse than that of her own cousin who has always been smooth and stingy, which makes Mrs. Wen no longer hesitate about this engagement.
It's just that the son is still just a jury, and Bai Tongzhi is an official after all. It's hard to say what the situation in Beijing is, and let's wait until the son has passed the spring.
********
Mrs. Wen left. That night, Mrs. He asked her master He Zhifu and said, "Master, why do you let me hold my cousin like this? Could it be that Master Liu really appreciates my nephew so much and wants to recruit him. Son-in-law? He also asked me to talk about Rong'er's marriage. To be honest, even if my nephew was a jinshi, he was born in a poor family, and it would take me a long time to make it through. And I think that the girl from the Wen family is a small family. Born from a small family, he is very angry, is it too wrong for Rong'er to match Rong'er?"
Mrs. He said that if the Wen family had really moved her mind to withdraw from the Bai family's marriage, she would have thought that the Bai family girl was a good girl, generous, decent and pure, and her dowry would be very rich in the future. Her son's qualifications are not very good, he should not be an official material, and he is also the youngest son. In the future, the family property he can share is limited. It is better to marry a daughter-in-law with a rich dowry background and a good temperament.
He Zhifu snorted coldly and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. I have my own sense of responsibility for Rong'er's affairs. In short, you should hold her more and let her have the heart to climb higher." /
Seeing that his wife's expression was wrong, he immediately said: "You don't want to play the girl of the Bai family. I see that the girl is born with such a face, and it is not guaranteed that there will be great good fortune in the future. That Mrs. Bai is also better friends."
Mrs. He froze in her heart. She took back her mind and looked at her master's face. She was puzzled, but she couldn't find anything from her master if she asked again. After that, the relationship with the Chen family became more and more polite and it was a later story.
On the side of the White House in Beijing, he also instructed Mrs. Chen. If the old lady asks about it in the future, he can only answer like this.
Although Mrs. Chen doesn't want to involve her daughter, she also knows that if this matter spreads and is used by someone with a heart, it will definitely affect the relationship between the brothers and sisters of Bai Yanzhang and Bai Jingyu's two original spouses, herself and her daughter. Yes, but if her daughter is to marry in Beijing in the future, she really needs the support of the Bai family, and it is not advisable to have a stiff relationship with Bai Yanzhang, so she has no choice but to accept it.
It's just that regardless of whether Bai Yanzhang knew about it or not, the old lady Bai in Beijing noticed something in her heart but turned a blind eye, which completely chilled Chen's heart.
After all, Madam Lan is Madam Bai's person, and Madam Bai is not the only eyeliner that Madam Lan has. That warm fragrance is a precious medicine. Madam Lan has deliberately brought it from Beijing continuously over the years. Madam Bai is really Without noticing?
And Mother Lan is just a mother, there is no one behind her to incite and provoke, Chen really can't believe that she will be so assertive and dare to "think" for the little master like this.
Chen couldn't help but think of her daughter's slandering words a few days ago, asking her to clearly distinguish her dowry industry from the properties that her master has purchased over the years, and also let her master know and have this awareness.
At the time, she felt it was unnecessary and didn't care too much.
Although the Bai family was a well-known scholar family in the south of the Yangtze River in the previous dynasty, the war and the reform of the new dynasty had long ago destroyed the Bai family's property. He is also lofty and respectful, and will not accept bribes or do some gray tricks. In fact, if he really counts these years, he has not accumulated any property. On the contrary, he has married the Chen family, and he has to send them to the White House in Beijing every year. A lot of property was spent on the White House in Beijing, but in fact, most of it was also Chen's dowry.
It's just that Mr. Bai's second master is not familiar with household affairs. Since Mr. Chen married him, Mr. Bai's second family will be in charge of Mr. Chen's family. Mr. Chen will also buy some properties in the name of Mr. Bai's second master. The second master has never worried about these things. In fact, he has long since blurred the concept between his property and Chen's dowry.
In the properties managed by the Chen family, except for the original Chen family dowry, the second master Bai didn't realize that the rest were actually the Chen family's, not his, the Bai family's.
This is also the reason why Mr. Bai Er asked Chen to buy a dowry for the eldest daughter of his ex-wife, and he didn't think it was wrong. It is also the reason why he subconsciously believed that "his property" should be inherited by his eldest son instead of his wife's dowry to his younger daughter under the constant instillation of Mrs. Bai.
The Bai family is not rich, and even the Bai family is very poor. How to marry a young daughter is actually a dowry of 100,200,000 and 200,000 taels, and the property is so large that the eyes of the big families in Beijing are lost. one place?
Other Bai family daughters get married but only give five hundred taels!
Chen is a businesswoman and has a clear sense of industry, but Mr. Bai Er is a stereotypical husband who adheres to the "old manners and good morals". When his wife marries him, he will be his own, and he will give her all the family business. In fact, apart from the dowries that were carried from the Chen family to the Bai family, he really didn't think that the family's property should actually belong to his wife and not "them".
