Sweet Beauty Chapter 28: Meet the grandparents
After the conversation between Jing Shu and Dongying, the original mixed feelings gradually settled down, and all kinds of negative emotions were replaced by the courage and persistence that slowly rose.
Jing Shu thought that if a mother in this life can get pregnant again, there is nothing else that can't be changed. Everything is different, isn't it?
Let her discover the traces of the conspiracy so early, didn't she let her deal with it early instead of being beaten in the end?
In this world, she will definitely not fulfill their wishes, and she will strip them of all kinds of hypocrisy!
A night without dreams.
On this day, when they arrived at the suburbs of Beijing to rest, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, Uncle Chen did not send a letter to Baifu in Beijing.
After breakfast the next day, Uncle Chen slowly ordered someone to send a letter to the White House, and then Mrs. Chen's wife, Chen Jiaqi Youhui, Yuan Ling and others still stayed in the Zhuangzi, only Chen Er Uncle I took a carriage and sent Jing Shu to Beijing, so it was late in the afternoon when I arrived at the White House in Beijing.
At this time, Jingshu's father, Mr. Bai Er, had already taken the post of the five-ranking officer of the Ministry of Industry. Since Jingshu's return date was not notified in advance, he still went to the yamen on duty as usual on this day, and Not in the mansion.
The White House received the letter in the morning, and Madam Bai's confidant, Madam Hua, personally took the second uncle Chen Jingshu and his party into the house from outside the house, and led them all the way to the hall of the old lady's yard in the backyard. Uncle Chen accompanied him first. Jing Shu greeted Mrs. Bai, said a few polite words, and was led by Mr. Bai San to speak outside.
Jing Shu didn't see her grandfather, Mrs. Bai. Mrs. Bai had retired from the Imperial Palace and now mostly lives in seclusion in her own yard, and doesn't often come out to see guests.
When Uncle Chen left, Mrs. Bai called Jing Shu to step forward, took her hand and looked at her with a kind smile. The older you get, the better you are, and when you come back, you've even compared your family and sisters."
The appearance of the Bai family is not outstanding. The second master Bai is an anomaly among brothers. He was born neither his father nor his mother. It is inherited from the father.
What's more, Jing Shu has inherited the beauty and beauty of her mother Chen's. She was born even more beautiful and radiant, with a radiant face. When she smiles, her black eyes are clear and soft and faintly seem to be full of light. Sweeping through people's hearts, people unconsciously immerse themselves in it and feel heartbroken and don't know why.
Even though Jingshu herself doesn't know, it may be due to a change in her temperament, or it may be because of her daily practice of martial arts, or because there are too many recipes for Yuanling, she looks very different now and in her previous life. There are some differences, and the beauty is also more agile.
On the other hand, the daughters of the Bai family are more beautiful and dignified, with thin eyes and delicate eyebrows. They have obvious features. They are more than beautiful but not charming, and they are obviously not comparable to Jing Shu.
It's just that some of Bai Jingyu's fathers are better-looking than other sisters, but they are also dignified and elegant, and they will not be eye-catching.
As soon as the old lady said this, everyone didn't know what to do in their hearts, but the smiles were still extremely affectionate, and there was Bai Jingyan, a girl from the third room who was very favored on weekdays, leaning on the old lady Bai, and said coquettishly: "What grandmother said, doesn't it mean that as soon as the fifth cousin comes back, she doesn't care about our sisters anymore."
Although Mrs. Bai has an old-fashioned and harsh temperament, she is old and has always been partial to her third son. Bai Jingyan has a sweet mouth and is very good at coaxing the elderly. Compared with other granddaughters, Mrs. Bai is very favored. Bai Jingyan, in front of her, even the wrinkles were a little lighter, and her face was much more loving.
The old lady rubbed her head when she heard the words, and said lovingly, "You sweetheart, it's only been a day since your sister came back, and grandmother praised her, but she still doesn't follow her."
Bai Jingyan giggled and said, "That's not true, my sister is so good-looking, I can't praise it too much, we can't get jealous, but grandmother, you can't miss us in your love for us. This is the most important thing!"
Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Old Ancestor, you pampered this child. Sister Shu just returned to Beijing, so she made a joke."
Then continued, "But Yaner, don't be dissatisfied, this Shuzhong has produced beautiful women since ancient times, and your second aunt was famous for her beauty in Shuzhong back then, and your fifth cousin's appearance followed your second aunt's. It's not just outstanding, this is really enviable."
When the old lady heard this, she didn't know why she lost her old smile. Maybe it was because the second master Bai refused a few marriages for Jing Shu's mother and insisted on marrying the Chen family.
She changed the subject and asked Jingshu in a light tone: "How is your mother's health recently? Why didn't she go to Beijing with you this time?"
She lowered her eyes, put her hand over the lid of the teacup, and said slowly, "I remember that at the end of the old year, I asked your father to send a letter and asked her to go to Beijing with you. Your trip is so slow this time. I thought it was because I was especially accommodating to your mother's body."
This happened last year. Mrs. Bai was dissatisfied with the "filial" property that her second son returned to Beijing, and she was angry at the "account book" handed over by her son, and then took her anger on the second daughter-in-law Chen. , and felt that the businesswoman was very cunning and doubted the authenticity of Chen's belly, so he asked the second son to write a letter to let Chen return to Beijing after the baby was stable, and asked her to wait in Beijing for childbirth.
However, Mr. Bai Er and Mr. Chen have had a strong relationship for many years, and he will follow his mother in other matters. It is about the safety of Mr. Chen and the fetus in his womb, but he is a little unwilling in his heart.
Especially before he set off from the middle of Shu, the youngest daughter begged her with tears to deal with her grandmother, be sure not to let her grandmother misunderstand her mother, let alone make her think about her mother going to Beijing while pregnant, otherwise the mother will inevitably be There will be danger to the fetus and the mother, and if something happens to the mother, she will not be alone.
At that time, Mr. Bai still felt that his daughter was in a daze. Why did he think about his grandmother like this? It was half consolation and half reprimand, but in the end she promised that this would never happen to her.
So when Mrs. Bai proposed to let his wife take her pregnant to Beijing, he was really taken aback. He couldn't believe that his mother really made such a ridiculous request.
He came from the middle of Shu, and the journey was mountains and rivers, so he knew the hardships involved. His wife was not easy to get pregnant, how could he take this risk?
But Mr. Bai Er had been accustomed to obeying his mother for many years, and did not dare to refute. He only sent a letter to Shuzhong, told the whole story, and asked Mother Yue to return a letter, saying that it was a genius doctor. Now, my wife's body is not suitable for long journeys, and things will be dragged down once and for all.
Also, Jing Shu was taken aback when she heard Mrs. Bai's words, but she didn't know that last year her grandmother asked her father to send a letter to her mother, asking her to bring her pregnancy to Beijing!
Jing Shu's little hand on her lap couldn't help pinching. Grandmother, she really didn't pity her mother at all, and she didn't even care about the child in her mother's womb!
Jing Shu pursed her lips, forced a weak smile, and replied timidly: "Mother, mother, because of the loss of her body when she gave birth to her granddaughter, she has been unable to recover, and now she is finally pregnant. , is really dangerous, and the reaction is really big, very hard, and the original genius doctor told me that the mother should not be tired, otherwise the fetus will not be safe, so it is absolutely impossible to come to Beijing."
As she spoke, she seemed unable to hold back her tears. She wiped her tears and sniffed before continuing, "When my granddaughter left for Beijing, my mother had already been invited by Mrs. Yuan to live in Shu. In the other courtyard of the palace, Mrs. Yuan helps to take care of her body, I hope the delivery will go smoothly."
Old Mrs. Bai was disdainful of the previous words, but she was stunned when she heard the three words of the Prince of Shu, and could not help asking: "The other courtyard of the Prince of Shu? What does this have to do with the Prince of Shu?"
Jing Shu replied in a soft and soft voice: "Grandma, you don't know anything, the original genius doctor and Mrs. Yuan are the guests invited by the Princess of Shu from the north, and they have always lived in the courtyard of the palace. It was thanks to the princess of Shu that the genius doctor was found to be able to diagnose and treat her. The former genius doctor was willing to help her mother with the help of the princess.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Bai frowned. Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chen, was just a businesswoman.
She carefully observed Jing Shu's expression, her eyes were red, soft and well-behaved, and she couldn't see any clues.
This granddaughter is only fifteen years old. After all these years, I have heard from Mother Lan that she is honest, well-behaved and submissive, and she is not slick.
She had doubts in her heart, and secretly decided that she would need to investigate the matter later, but at this time, it was difficult for her to continue inquiring with her granddaughter and the rest of the people in the White House.
She thought of Mother Lan, so she put down her doubts about Princess Shu, and then asked Jing Shu: "Speaking of Mother Lan, what's going on? I listen to your father. They said that Alan actually stole things from your room and neglected to take care of you, making you sick?"
"Alan has served me since he was a child. He has been by my side for many years. He has also taken care of your elder brother and elder sister. He has never heard of anyone stealing things or neglecting to take care of his master. Why did this happen all of a sudden? , was killed with a stick?"
Jing Shu has long been familiar with Mrs. Bai's temperament. She knows that she doesn't have much affection for her grandparents, but she remembers that Mrs. Bai was only cold and serious to her in her previous life, and occasionally wore a mask of love to pretend. , I don't want to think that she just returned to Beijing in this life, and she hasn't seen it for a few years.
Thinking about it, she was probably annoyed by the lack of "filial piety" and "account books" in their room this year, and she had a lot of opinions on their room.
Jing Shu lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice with a slightly panicked tone: "It's probably not the mother's fault for this, it's all the mother's youngest son who is a **** who gambled money outside and put usury loans. , forced the mammy to take risks and made a big mistake. As for the negligence, it was actually because the mammy was distracted all the time because of the unsatisfactory son. , how can you make a big mistake?"
"Since the matter has passed, and the father has already blamed the mammy's family, grandmother, don't be angry with the old man anymore. , she must not want to."
Jing Shu's eyes reddened as she spoke, which made people feel that this little girl was really spoiled, and it was too easy to be fooled. She even felt that a mammy around her did those things. There's nothing wrong with her, it's others who have implicated her...
But Mrs. Bai couldn't give birth to a heart of compassion when she looked at her like this. She lived most of her life and controlled the Bai family's inner house for most of her life. She blocked it back softly, and she couldn't handle it even if she wanted to. Whether she was intentional or unintentional, it really made her feel even more angry.
Old Mrs. Bai looked at the granddaughter with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes in front of her, thinking about her series of responses, but she couldn't tell whether it was true or false for a while, and because of this, she became more and more unhappy with Jingshu.
She is a person with a strong desire to control. She has never liked people who don't follow her and don't flatter her. This granddaughter, whether she is really dull and colorless or full of scheming, a little bit her eyes and gave birth to her. of boredom.
Sure enough, I didn't raise it by my side, I don't kiss him.
