Sweet Beauty Chapter 43: Increasingly eccentric

Master Bai put down his doubts about how his daughter got this information, and then turned his mind back to the content of the information in his hand.

Thinking of the content of the document, Master Bai's hand trembled a little while holding the document.

This woman is actually a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and the Duke of Linguo wants to put the royal family of the previous dynasty into his own name and recognize it as his daughter!

And the three sons of the King of Shu already know about this!

Currently His Majesty has no son, the third son of the King of Shu, who is one of the little princes that His Majesty loves and values ​​very much!

The second master Bai is not like the old man who is thinking about how to revitalize the Bai family and restore the glory of the Bai family. He is still a person of integrity and integrity. He does value his career, but he only thinks about safety. As an official stably and steadily, it is enough to rise steadily, so he does not have the idea of ​​seeking wealth and wealth at risk.

He has neither this desire nor this need.

Jing Shu saw her father clutching the document in silence, so she said: "Father, that woman is the daughter of Princess Yongxi from the previous dynasty, and Princess Yongxi's mother is the aunt of Mrs. Ling Guogong, this news should be true. It's just that Mrs. Ling Guogong is the cousin of the Queen's mother, and she is deeply loved by the Queen's mother. If this matter comes out, the Queen's mother may be able to save her, but our Bai family is not so capable, not to mention the time of the father's If the official position is not guaranteed, I am afraid that the whole family will be guilty of genocide.”

After thinking for a while, he added, "It was when His Majesty was preparing to choose a marriage for the princes of the vassals. It was too terrifying to think about it. Who knows what the princess' daughter is thinking? Entering the palace as the daughter of my father, when the time comes..."

These words made Master Bai's complexion change drastically.

"Since the third son of the King of Shu has already known about this matter, father, I don't think it can be done anyway, so my father should think of a way to push his grandfather."

Bai Er's mind also turned and turned, thinking of the Prince of Shu, the third son of the Prince of Shu, his own daughter, yes, what does this woman want to do when she appears at this time?

Even if she didn't have this idea, he had to be careful at such a sensitive moment!

And the third son of the king of Shu already knew about this. If he admits this woman to his own death, it will definitely affect his daughter and his future!

At this point, it's impossible to recognize a woman no matter what!

Actually, this is also one of Jiang Yu's purposes for Jingshu to tell the second master Bai, to give him an indirect warning, telling him that he already knows about the matter, and because of the temperament of the second master Bai, he will not dare to talk to him again. The woman is involved.

Master Bai's mind is certain, but he has calmed down.

He looked at his daughter's pale face with some worry and fear, and suddenly felt guilty, he smiled and comforted her: "Well, my father didn't know her identity, but now that he knows, so Great treason will never be accepted."

"Shu'er, it's hard to worry about you so much. Father will handle this matter properly. Shu'er, you just need to prepare to attend the tea party at the Shu Palace."

Thinking of the fact that during these days, I have asked my daughter to point out everything, and let her bear the pressure that she should not bear, Er Bai really feels ashamed of being a father.

He thought about it, put down the document, calmed his mind again, and said to Jingshu again: "Since your grandmother is unwell, then father will arrange for you to go back to Zhuangzi tomorrow to live."

"It's just that although you went to Zhuangzi to pray for your mother and grandmother, don't work too hard, let your mother and the others take good care of you, or your mother will return to Beijing and see that you are thin. Blame your father for not taking good care of you?"

Seeing that her father started to change the subject, and directly mentioned that she was to be sent to Zhuangzi, she understood what he meant. This is probably to avoid the meaning of these right and wrong.

On the second day, Mr. Bai took a special leave of absence from the yamen, and personally took his daughter to say goodbye to Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai. It was said that Jing Shu also stayed at home for some time, seeing her mother's health getting worse and worse. It's not good, I should send my daughter to Zhuangzi to pray for my mother for good.

Grandpa Bai's expression was a little unpleasant when he heard the second master Bai's coming.

Because Jingshu knew about the "twin daughter" early in the morning, he no longer avoided it, and asked directly: "Zhongqian, I didn't say it before, I will build a house near here and wait for Sister Shu. Will their sister bring them back and let them live in that house together?"

Mr. Bai Er didn't expect the father to bring this up again in front of his daughter, thinking that the father might know the identity of the woman, but he still deceived himself into thinking she was a woman, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

He knew that his father was dedicated to revitalizing the Bai family.

He solemnly said, "Father, this woman's origin is unknown, how can she just be recognized as her own daughter? Originally, the son hadn't thought about it too much, but recently the royal family planned to replace the princes of the feudal vassals with officials above the fifth rank. The daughter chooses a relative, and at this time to recognize the father, the son thinks it is better to be cautious."

The son was just delaying the time, but he suddenly refused. The old man Bai was a little annoyed at first, but then he heard that the royal family had chosen a marriage for the princes of the feudal vassals, and thought of the invitation letter from the palace of the king of Shu recently received by the granddaughter. , and he thought he understood where his son's concerns were.

This, he never told his son that Duke Ling meant that they recognized the woman as the daughter of the Bai family, and after mentioning her identity, they would let her enter the residence of Duke Ling as his wife...

But Ling Guogong only hinted, but did not express it clearly.

If... thinking of this, Mr. Bai almost broke out in a cold sweat.

This is no small matter! Since the granddaughter has already received the invitation letter from the Shu Palace, she might be able to marry into the high family without relying on Ling Guogong's palace, why should she take that risk again?

Old Mr. Bai pondered like this, and felt that it would be okay to drag it on at the Duke Ling's mansion.

If the granddaughter really has such good fortune and marries into the Prince of Shu's mansion, it's not easy to have a relationship with that woman again, and he can also refuse the Duke Ling's mansion because of his "words and deeds now".

If the granddaughter is not blessed, it is not too late to think about it.

Mr. Bai pondered, and the second master was thinking of leaving, but when he saw that Mr. Bai had made up his mind, he turned his attention to Jingshu again. Seeing that Jingshu's face was calm and there was no difference, he knew his son He must have told the truth to his granddaughter.

A trace of displeasure flashed in his heart, and he understood his wife's thoughts a bit. This son really values ​​Chen's mother and daughter too much. He even told his teenage daughter about this kind of thing!

And he has heard a lot of Mrs. Bai's muttering recently. Looking at the words and deeds of Mrs. Chen and Jing Shu, he does feel that they are not willing to pay for the Bai family, which makes him a little dissatisfied.

Old Master Bai pressed down the discomfort in his heart and said: "Since you have already thought about it, then you can do as you say. It's just that the invitation from the Palace of Shu is very important to Sister Shu, who has always been in Shu. I grew up in middle school, and I am not familiar with the etiquette in Beijing, I think it is better to let Sister Shu live at home and ask a good mother to teach her."

Bai Er was hesitant to hear this, but this is not without reason.

Seeing her father's hesitation, Jing Shu lowered her head and whispered: "Grandfather, father, the etiquette in Beijing is actually familiar to my daughter, who has always been taught by my mother in Shu. My granddaughter went to the Shu Palace when she was in Shu. , Wang Fei was born in Beijing, and she also praised her daughter's good etiquette in Beijing, and also praised her daughter's good Mandarin."

Jing Shu doesn't care about any subtlety now. In order not to live in the White House, she praises herself without being soft-hearted.

Added, "And the concubine, the concubine, said that the concubine, the concubine, was born in the middle of Shu, and she misses her hometown very much. She must have invited her granddaughter over there. It is also because of some incidents in the middle of Shu. On the contrary, it is not beautiful."

Grandpa Bai was both surprised and delighted when he heard his granddaughter's words. He originally wondered why his granddaughter was so young and the daughter of a fifth-rank official could win the eyes of the prince and concubine of Shu, but it turned out that when the granddaughter was in the middle of Shu, she It is an unexpected joy to have gained the favor of Princess Shu!

It's a shame that the old lady sent a lot of people to serve in the middle of Shu. She only knew how to do some trivial calculations all day, but she didn't even return such important information, really!

Grandpa Bai's expression towards Jingshu was even more genial, and he didn't blame her at all for intervening in the elders' conversation, and said warmly: "Even so, Zhuangzishang, after all, is in poor conditions. Be prepared for life at home."

Jing Shu groaned in her heart, ready to live?

How good are the conditions in the White House, and how do you prepare for life? Just the small yard where he lives with Bai Jingyan and Bai Jingrou? Or do you see yourself in the big kitchen every day, and you don't want to please the unpalatable meals that the old lady likes to send? Or will the old lady give herself more fabrics, clothes and jewelry for this banquet?

At most, send a few more maids to "serve" yourself!

Thank you, Bumin!

Jing Shu said: "Grandfather, your granddaughter knows your heart. It's just that grandmother's health is getting worse and worse, especially when she sees her granddaughter. The granddaughter is very uneasy living at home."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he choked a little, "If something happens to my grandmother, I'm afraid that my granddaughter will never forgive me for the rest of my life, so I can only accompany the ancient Buddha. The granddaughter is afraid that it will be difficult to go out to meet people... It is better to go to Zhuangzi at this time and meditate to pray for the grandmother and mother, so that the granddaughter can feel at ease."

The old man Bai heard the embarrassment and depression on the face here. In the past two days, the old woman's health has indeed become worse and worse. According to the maid, there are even more nightmare battles at night. …

Everyone in the family is divided. If these words spread, let alone whether Jingshu can marry the royal family, I am afraid that ordinary marriages will be difficult!

The second master Bai on the side heard this, but his hesitant heart was firmed.

He said: "Father, mother's health is very important, the son should take Sister Shu to Zhuangzi, there are old servants who take care of Jing Shu, father can rest assured, as for the etiquette in Beijing, Shu The son has indeed been taught by his mother since he was a child, so the father still need not worry about it.”

After thinking about it, he said, "If the father is not at ease, the son will go to find a retired nanny in the palace to teach Shu'er another day, so he must be thorough."

Old Master Bai can only nod helplessly at this time. He originally wanted to say that then let your mother choose a few nuns to serve in the past, but the words came to his mouth, thinking of his wife's dislike of Jing Shu, and he didn't know how to provoke it. What kind of moth comes out, that's all.

Although Mr. Bai was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree to this matter.

Second Master Bai leads Jing Shu to say goodbye to Mrs. Bai.

Old Mrs. Bai was lying on the hospital bed at this time, when she heard the second son brought Jing Shu over, and when she heard the name of this granddaughter, her head hurt for a while, she didn't want to see them, but the youngest son-in-law Wei Shi Said: "The second uncle should have gone to the yamen today. I am afraid that it is important to bring sister Shu here at this time. Why don't my mother see the second uncle."

"As for Sister Shu, since she is at odds with her mother, it's fine if she doesn't want to see her, so just let her wait outside."

Speaking of this, she rolled her eyes and thought of something, and said to Mrs. Bai, "Mother, the second uncle is filial. Knowing that the mother is seriously ill because of my sister, my daughter-in-law sees that the second uncle is willing to lead this time. Sister Shu is here, I'm afraid she is going to take her to Zhuangzi."

"It's just that Sister Shu is going to attend a banquet at the Prince of Shu's Mansion at the end of the month, so she came to Beijing and has been living in Zhuangzi. Not to mention that she doesn't know anyone, but she is not familiar with the etiquette in Beijing. I see, It would be better if my mother sent a few aunties to teach Sister Shu. In addition, Sister Yan could accompany her when she went to the Shu Palace that day, so that she would be able to raise points at any time, lest she not understand the rules of Beijing and offend the nobles. Isn't it going to implicate our White House?"

Old Mrs. Bai nodded. She had thought about these things when Jingshu received a post from the Shu Palace. This girl has good fortune and should support her sisters, but her health has deteriorated in the past two days, so she has no time to take care of it, so she neglected it. .

Then Mrs. Bai ordered her confidant, Mrs. Xue, to welcome the second master of Bai, and let Jing Shu just wait outside.

After hearing this publicity, Mr. Bai glanced at his little daughter who was standing beside him pitifully, and was naturally uncomfortable for a while.

After entering the old lady's room, the old lady Bai heard that the second son really came to resign on behalf of Jingshu, so she told the second master Bai what Wei Shi said just now.

It was said that they wanted to send an old maid and two big maids by their side to teach and serve Jingshu, and asked Jingshu to bring her cousin Jingyan with her on the day she went to the palace of Shu, so that it would be good to have someone to take care of.

If it were in the past, Mr. Bai Er wouldn't think much about his mother's arrangement, nor would he have any objection. He immediately felt that the mother's arrangement was also for his daughter, that is, to let her daughter take Sister Yan with her. Son, although it is for the sake of supporting my niece, it is understandable to have such selfishness.

But these days, Mr. Bai saw that his daughter was not favored by his mother in the mansion. There were even rumors in the mansion that the mother called his daughter a "monster", and the third younger brother and sister did not take care of his daughter at all. The niece even framed it. Daughter, wait, so, what kind of care can I have for my niece to go with me?

Second Master Bai glanced at Wei Shi, the third younger brother and sister standing beside his mother's hospital bed, and felt very unhappy.

Maybe it's the foolish woman who provokes her in front of her mother day and night! Thinking that the maid next to the eldest daughter told me that most of the things my wife had brought back to the eldest daughter over the years had fallen into the hands of several nieces, but the eldest daughter was wearing old clothes and accessories. I was angry in my heart.

But he wouldn't directly rebel against his sick mother, he only said: "There are not many maids by my mother's side, all of them are given to my sister, what if the mother's side is short of manpower, the son will send a maid when he sees it. Just go and teach Shu'er."

"As for Sister Yan, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, because Concubine Shizi's post has clearly stated who to invite, and I am afraid that it will attract attention, but I will ask Sister Shu to look back for a chance to ask this matter The palace is in charge."

Weiss was a little anxious when she heard the words, but she didn't dare to intervene at will, so as not to offend the second uncle who was quite dissatisfied with her recently, so she went to see Mrs. Bai in a hurry, and wanted Mrs. Bai to refute Bai. Second master.

But I don't want old lady Bai, but I don't know why, but I coughed for some reason, and then the pain in my head was piercing. Although I was dissatisfied, I couldn't get the energy to argue with my son. I just waved her hand reluctantly and let him go down.

In this way, the matter of Bai Jingyan's accompaniment is nothing to do with it, even if the agreed mammy could not be arranged, because he left the old lady Bai's yard, the second master Bai directly ordered a carriage and sent it to Jing Shu. Go to Zhuangzi.

Three days later, Mrs. Bai's condition improved a little, but she still arranged for an old lady to "instruct" Jing Shu.

It's just that when the old lady arrived at Zhuangzi, Yuanling found out that she had a hidden disease, and it was still contagious rubella, so she immediately isolated and lived in Zhuangzi.

This news was only passed on to the second master Bai, and Jingshu also sent a letter to the second master Bai saying, "The grandmother must not know about this matter. In order not to disturb the seriously ill grandmother, I also ask my father to make sure Don't mention it to your grandmother, lest she misunderstand the granddaughter's deliberately framed anger and even more discord" Yunyun...

Added, "I also ask my father not to worry about his daughter's etiquette. The concubine, the concubine, has already sent someone to bring a maid, which was explained by the third son of the king of Shu before he went to Xining, but I also ask my father for this matter. Don't disclose it to others in the house, for fear of causing unnecessary right and wrong..."

When Bai Er heard about this, he was annoyed again. His daughter was going to attend the banquet in the palace of the king of Shu, and the palace gave her a woman with a contagious disease.

If there is no girl from the original family by my daughter's side, wouldn't it be a mistake?

Thinking about Mother Lan, how coincidentally does this mother now have an infectious disease? Who knows if it's intentional or not!

In this way, Second Master Bai and Bai Fu are even more at odds with each other.

But then again, it turned out that the third son of the king of Shu personally told his maid to teach his daughter, and when he thought about the third son helping his daughter to investigate the woman's affairs, the second master Bai was not very sensitive, and he knew that the third son was afraid of his daughter. Unusual.

Of course he doesn't dare to speak out about this matter at will. If this matter is not well done, it will affect his daughter's reputation, and there are not many people who are staring at the position of the third wife of the king of Shu. His official position is not high. I'm afraid that my daughter will end up as a concubine, and she will have to be an ancient Buddha!

Of course he couldn't allow this to happen.

Even everyone in the White House has to be on guard!
