Sweet Beauty Chapter 121: The story is over

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%

He turned his gaze back to the house again, looking at the empty swing, and he couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart.

He sighed slightly, afraid that he was really thinking about that little girl, or that he was thinking about it early and didn't know it? However, he is a direct person, and he wants whatever he wants to do... People or things will not find some useless reasons to retreat. Since he has discovered his own thoughts and her affairs, he will naturally not watch from the sidelines.

This house was built by him before. Every time he returned to Shu, he had to go to Cishan Temple, so he built a house in Changzhou City, which is the closest to Cishan Temple. The noble family, the courtyard before was the courtyard of Bai Tongzhi Bai's family.

He always likes a higher place, so that he can see clearly and far, so his house in this yard is two floors higher than the one next to him, so that the surrounding scenery and courtyards are fully absorbed. fundus.

Originally, Wen Yuhan said that she went to find Jingshu after the Mid-Autumn Festival to talk, but since she spoke at the prefect's wife's house on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mother and daughter of the Wen family had some strange thoughts. Mrs. Ribai would take advantage of some movement in the boxing ceremony to make a statement, so she also restrained her daughter and asked her not to seek Jingshu for the time being.

At this time, there was indeed some movement in the Bai family, but it was not the "movement" that Mrs. Wen expected.

Just after the Mid-autumn Festival, Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Chen, sent a group of little girls to Chen for her to choose. At this time, there was a drought in the northern region, and many victims in the northern region fled. When they arrived in the middle of Shu, some of the little girls who were sent here were sent by their parents who wanted to sell their daughters to settle down, and some were orphans directly because of the disaster.

Chen selected seven or eight little girls, and then let her daughter choose among them.

Because she wanted to use it as soon as possible, Jing Shu chose two older ones, one named A Qiu of thirteen, and the other named Xiaoying of fourteen, and renamed them Qiu Rui. and Winter Shadow.

One of the rare ones is the girl named Winter Shadow. Her father used to be a bodyguard. She can also know some words, and she is also smart and agile.

Originally, this girl's family in the Northland was relatively good, but unfortunately, she escaped from the Northland with her parents, but her father went into the deep mountains to hunt and was killed by wild beasts on the way. He died of the bite, and then his younger brother also died of illness. His mother couldn't bear the bad news one after another and fell ill. Later, she protected her mother all the way to Shu. She sold herself in the hope that the host family would give her mother a cure and a place to live.

This is of course no problem for the Bai family. After getting Dongying, she sent her mother to a nearby village to recuperate. She also told her that when her mother recovered, she could decide whether to stay or stay. You can stay in Zhuangzi, or live in Baifu to do some simple chores.

It's just a pity that she may lose her husband and children one after another, and she is running around and wandering all the way. He also passed away a month later, which is another story.

Let's say that Dongying had only been with Jingshu for two days, so she told Jingshu that she had something to report, but she heard Biman's accidental mention of the marriage between her young lady and the Wen family in the west of the city, and she couldn't help being shocked.

It turns out that Winter Shadow came all the way from the north, and on the way saved a girl named Zhou Lanyue.

This week, Lanyue's parents both died, and she also fled from the north to Changzhou City to join her family. She only brought an old servant girl with her, who she said was her mother's nanny.

They were both old and weak. They were rescued by Dongying on the way. They walked with Dongying all the way to Changzhou City. At first, Zhou Lanyue did not say who her relatives were. When they parted in Changzhou City, she told Dongying. She wanted to vote for her aunt's house, and she also had a marriage with her aunt's cousin since childhood, and this aunt's house was the Wen family in the west of Changzhou City.

Mrs. Wen's birthday banquet was just a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mrs. Wen had planned to leave for Beijing after the Double Ninth Festival in September. On the birthday banquet, she invited several ladies who had some contacts. Come home for a drink.

Wen Xiyuan is also considered a celebrity in Changzhou City, and has engaged a young lady from Bai Tongzhi's family. Mrs. Wen's social life has also risen, and most of the contacts are officials and other people with status and status.

The wives who invited Wen's house to drink on this day are all of some identities. Not only Mrs. Bai Chen, but also the wives of some of Bai Tongzhi's colleagues, as well as the wives of several gentlemen of Wenxi Yuan Academy, including Mrs. Chen for Wen Xi Mrs. Lin, the wife of Yuan and Jingshu's betrothal mentor, and Mrs. Wen's cousin, Mrs. He, the prefect's wife, was also present today.

After the Mid-autumn Festival, Mrs. Chen has not expressed anything about Mrs. Wen's family going to the capital. With her cousin Mrs. He's enticement in the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Wen has reservations about the marriage of the Bai family, but she is also A somewhat shrewd man, naturally, he is still smiling and Yanyan these days, and when he talks to everyone, he is extraordinarily affectionate.

Everyone was chatting lively, but a mama came forward and whispered a few words in Mrs. Wen's ear. After hearing her, Mrs. Wen's face changed slightly. He frowned and said, "Whether it's true or false, take it to the back and rest first. When the guests are gone today, it won't be too late to call in to ask."

Mammy was staying, when she heard Mrs. Bai, who was sitting diagonally across from the upper seat, suddenly say: "Sister Wen, but there is something to look for you outside. Alright."

Mrs. Wen hurriedly squeezed a smile and said to Mrs. Chen: "It's nothing, but a distant relative who hasn't moved for a long time has come here. I'm a little tired even thinking about the long journey. I've already sent someone to arrange for her to rest first. , it's not too late to visit and greet you later."

Because what Mammy said was not clear, Mrs. Wen only regarded her as an ordinary pro-prostitute at this time, so she did not deliberately hide it.

Everyone understands these words. Who doesn't have a distant relative? After listening to this, I know that the family has fallen and went to defect. I don't have to ignore these noble ladies at the banquet now to ask questions and say hello. .

At this time, Mrs. He in the seat laughed and interjected: "Distant relative? Cousin, we are serious cousins. I don't know who that distant relative is, but from our grandfather's house? "

There is also some curiosity in his tone, and I don't know if it is really curious or joking to liven up the atmosphere.

Mrs. Wen smiled and said: "That's not true. It is said that it is from the Wen family's side and escaped from the north. What is the specific situation, I will wait for me to look back and find out. Speaking of this time, the north The drought of the earth..."

"Hey, is that the sister Lanyue with the surname Zhou? Great, sister Zhou finally found her aunt's house. I didn't expect that the uncle's Wen's house she was married to when she was a child turned out to be the real one. Mrs. Wen's house, if I had known it earlier, I had already begged the lady to bring her here, and I didn't need her to search so hard."

Before Mrs. Wen's words were finished, she was interrupted by a crisp voice with a strange accent.

Everyone turned their attention to the little girl who was talking, and saw that she was following a little girl in green beside Miss Bai's family. They were surprised at how this little girl didn't understand the rules so much. Meaning, they are all shocked.

Everyone's expressions were startled and then embarrassed, but the excitement of gossip was hidden in their hearts.

Mrs. Wen's face was as black as the bottom of the pot when she heard the words, she was the first to break the silence, and she frowned at the speaking Winter Shadow and scolded: "What nonsense, it's just a distant relative who suffered a disaster in the north and came to marry , what about getting married since childhood, what uncle's family, can these words be said nonsense?"

And then he said to Jing Shu next to Dongying, "Sister Shu, what's the matter with you girl? You follow the master, how can you stay in this kind of unruly and talkative? Do you use it by your side and take it out of the house?"

Winter Shadow's excited and happy expression was reprimanded to Mrs. Wen's face, and then she looked at Mrs. Wen in shock, and then she shrank beside her young lady at a loss.

Let's not say how Mrs. Chen felt when she heard Dongying's words, but she was displeased when she heard Mrs. Wen scolding her daughter.

She said to Mrs. Wen coldly, "Sister Wen, what is she doing? She's just a little girl she just bought. She speaks straightforwardly and doesn't know how to hide it. But, what does she mean?"

As he spoke, he turned to Dongying and said, "Winterying, what did you just say? What is Sister Zhou, what is my uncle's family, Wen's family, who has been engaged since childhood? You come forward and make it clear."

Mrs. Wen immediately noticed that something was wrong, and was about to stop her sharply, but Mrs. He, the cousin sitting next to her, held her down and looked at the ladies sitting below who seemed to be embarrassed but their ears were pricked up. He sighed and said, "Let her talk about it, if I don't make it clear at this time, I'm afraid that the Bai family will not be willing to give up, this matter can't be held back, it's unclear, and rumors spread even more hurtful. ."

While Mrs. Wen was still anxious and hesitant, the little girl named Dongying had already stepped forward, and she said with a bit of grievance: "I, this servant did not talk nonsense, and came with me to escape from the disaster in the north. A girl named Zhou Lanyue said that she came to Changzhou City to look for relatives. Her uncle's Wen family lived in Changzhou City, but her uncle passed away a few years ago, and she and her uncle's family have been with her since childhood. My cousin has made a marriage appointment, this time to find relatives and also to fulfill the marriage contract.”

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Wen couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.

Hearing the latter words, Mrs. Chen felt more and more uneasy in her heart. She was worried that the situation in Beijing would be complicated. "My mother and sister-in-law take care of me, and my sisters match each other."

She's not here. What if my daughter is wronged?

Although she knows that her master really loves Shu'er, she knows him better. He doesn't know anything about the inner house, and his maid is very filial. As long as Mrs. Bai speaks, she will say a bunch of specious things." Reason", he will listen to it and let him do whatever he wants.

Filial piety to parents, respectful to elder brother, kindness to younger brother, love to nephew and niece, these are all good qualities, but ironically, these qualities are now the most disturbing to Chen.

But she also knew that if her master really decided something, she would not be able to change it easily, just like the marriage between her daughter and the Wen family.

Thinking of her daughter's marriage, Chen was even more disturbed. If she is not in the capital, someone is planning on her daughter's marriage, and her master listens to Mrs. Bai's words very much. How can she let Mrs. Bai decide Shu'er's marriage?

Chen's heart was worried, but Jingshu knew very well that she was going to leave her mother and return to Beijing.

And the mother is in the middle of Shu, and because of her grandmother's strong desire to control, she may not make a fool of herself. When she returns to the capital, she can also act by chance.

And now that her mother is pregnant, she doesn't need to go to the capital for the time being. Jing Shu has already realized that she has no choice but to go to Beijing, so she comforts her mother, saying that she will take care of herself, Let others bully him, this made Chen feel sour again.

In the end, Mrs. Chen persuaded her daughter to let Uncle Chen's family, who was originally scheduled to enter Beijing after the year, go to Beijing together with Bai Tongzhi and Jing Shu, so that Mrs. Chen Er could also take care of Jing Shu along the way, Chen Er My uncle's young daughter, Youe, can be with Jing Shu again.

Chen Shi was ashamed to hear this. How could the second brother and his family go to the capital in advance just for the sake of their daughter every year?

Although Mrs. Chen had made up her mind, Mrs. Chen also persuaded Mrs. Chen that everything was ready, but Mrs. Chen was still uneasy and only insisted stubbornly.

It was the first time that Mr. Bai Er saw such a wife. He couldn't help but think about the matter of Lan Ma, and wondered if it frightened his wife. I came to a conclusion.

In the end, Mr. Bai Er was worried that Mr. Chen would be too worried and hurt his body and the child in his belly. Go to Beijing, that's all.

After Mr. Bai Er left, Mrs. Chen hugged Jing Shu, so she reluctantly persuaded Mrs. Chen: "A Ning, why are you doing this? Your second brother and second sister-in-law have already taken care of themselves. No problem, why do you insist on it like this? Wouldn’t this embarrass your husband, make your in-laws unhappy, and I can’t say that even Sister Shu is involved.”

Chen's face had a gloomy look, but she was really uneasy. There was the matter of the Wen family first, and then the matter of the Lan mama. She was really worried that her daughter would be plotted, and if she was a little careless, it would ruin her daughter. of a lifetime.

After listening to her grandmother's words, Jing Shu said in her heart, it doesn't matter when I go to the capital or follow them in everything, they may not be very sincere towards me. In that case, it is better to be self-willed and do whatever you want. how.

She remembered what happened after she came back in this life. Now she just felt that everything went smoothly. The marriage of the Wen family was settled, her mother was pregnant and she didn't need to go to Beijing for the time being. Also, she reached out and touched her chest, where there was her hanging With the jasper seal around her neck, with it, she no longer worries so much about the Duke Ling's mansion, which she is most worried and afraid of.

Although she would not turn to Jiang Yu unless she had to, but whether she would ask for help or not is one thing, and I have to admit that the psychologically hidden sense of security is another.

She doesn't care what the Bai family thinks and thinks. She just needs to find a chance to find out what her grandfather's relationship with the previous dynasty was, whether she had secret contacts with Ling Guogong's mansion, and how much she was involved in the affairs of her previous life. Points, and then act according to the opportunity.

Jing Shu smiled and said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter doesn't want to go back to Beijing so early. My granddaughter just wants to be with my mother and my grandmother. In Beijing, as long as my mother can add another brother or sister to me. , I'm sure I won't blame it. What's more, I'm just recovering from a serious illness."

Because of the joy in her heart, her tone couldn't help being much more relaxed and charming.

What even Jingshu didn't know was that when she touched the jade card on her chest, her smile was faintly sweet and joyful. When she remembered Jiang Yu, she was no longer in a conflicted and confused mood, but a spontaneous feeling. Trust and inexplicable intimacy without knowing it.

"You child." Madam Chen hugged Jing Shu and said helplessly.

But when she saw Jingshu like this, she thought that her daughter's worries were not unnecessary. She didn't know what this Beijing was like. Judging from the experience of not getting along with many people in the past, the old lady Bai was not a good friend. Yes, the granddaughter didn't grow up by her side, so she didn't have much affection in the end, and everything was indeed better.

When Mrs. Chen looked at Jingshu like this, the previous gloomy color was immediately swept away. She felt that she had not seen her daughter like this for a long time. Yan Yan was also smiling, but she always felt that she seemed to be full of worries and had a look of worry in her eyes. Now that she has returned to such a charming, innocent, happy and sweet appearance, she only felt that her mood was much brighter.

The next few months in the Chen Mansion, Jing Shu was still busy, spending part of the day talking to her mother, and learning a lot at the same time.

Follow Dongying to practice the exercises, follow the female accountant master to learn account management, learn the skills of various industry management, and every day I start to see some of the industries in Beijing that my mother and uncle are preparing to give her, and choose the future Following her steward, daughter-in-law, etc., even an old lady Chen felt distressed and said that she couldn't even work as hard as she did to prepare for the exam, but for Jing Shu, although she was very busy, it was a problem It was a rare day for her to be very comfortable and down-to-earth.

She finally felt that life was developing in the direction she hoped, which filled her heart with hope and energy, no more nightmares at night, no more involuntary fears and worries.

Another thing that makes Jing Shu happy is that Madam Chen, out of pity for her granddaughter's constant study enthusiasm, only thought she was nervous and worried about the future life in Beijing, and specially arranged to let her Master Liao, the female accountant and the shopkeeper, went to Beijing with Jingshu, and told her to follow Jingshu in the future and use it for her, which made Jingshu very pleasantly surprised.

Master Liao has rich experience and is very skilled in account book management. She can quickly find out the problem by flipping through a stack of thick account books, and where to make false accounts, the flaws behind the false accounts are all She is very sensitive, and she is not only a master accountant, but has also helped Mrs. Chen manage different industries for many years, and has a lot of practical experience.

Jing Shu is still learning the basics of reading and keeping accounts, so she is very relieved that Master Liao can continue to teach her and assist her in watching Zhuangzi, the industrial shop in her hand.

The Chen Mansion is harmonious, Jing Shu is happy and full of hope in life, but the Bai Mansion in Beijing is a different scene.

Lao Mrs. Bai first received a letter from her second son, Mr. Bai Er, saying that Mrs. Chen was pregnant and could not go back to Beijing with her.

This is really explosive news for everyone in the White House in Beijing.

Everyone knows that the step-wife of the second house has a wealthy and wealthy family. Over the years, most of the expenses in the house have been sent from the second house. The children of the third house are married, and it can even be said that more than half The dowry and dowry gifts are all from the second room. For example, if you like the materials, embroidery, medicinal materials and wooden furniture in Shuzhong, you write letters to ask the second child to find it, and the second room has never asked for money.

Not to mention that because of the old lady's "recommendation", the second master Bai has a very good relationship with his elder brother and younger brother.

It's the old lady. In addition to the filial piety of the second master Bai and his wife, through Bai Yanzhang's marriage, Bai Yanzhang and Bai Jingyu's various "living and learning" expenses also require a lot of property every year, and most of the last half is actually Entered the private room of Mrs. Bai.

Chen has only one daughter, and her position in this mansion will not be stable, so she can only please everyone, and it is easier to handle.

Because the Chen family had only one daughter, both Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Bai, and Mrs. Wei, the third Mrs. Bai, had some thoughts and wanted to give this niece to their own nephew.

Originally, when Jingshu got married, they stopped thinking about it for a while, and when they heard that the marriage contract was terminated, their thinking came alive again.

But Chen's pregnancy is not really good news for them.

Old Mrs. Bai is unpredictable. In fact, she has many grandchildren, and she already has three great-grandchildren. She doesn't care as much about whether the third room can give her another grandson as Mr. Bai thinks.
