Sweet Beauty Chapter 59: Too much contrast

Tian Zhengqi smiled warmly, with some sympathy in his eyes, but what he said was not very warm at all.

He said: "Bai, no, Rong Langzhong, you don't have to go to court, and you haven't returned to the yamen in the past two days, so I don't know how many people have been talking about your affairs."

"I heard that you have gone to the government to change your surname and set up a new sect? Rong Langzhong, we didn't care about your family affairs, but you acted too much. Yesterday, there was already a censor in the morning court. You are the son of a defeated general in the previous dynasty. Back then, when Bai Laohanlin thought that his child was innocent, he kindly took in you when Wenzhou broke the city, and raised you as his own son for dozens of years. The act of righteousness made the old lady Bai angry, forcibly moved out of the Bai mansion, and was extremely ungrateful..."

Every time Tian Shangshu said a sentence, Master Rong Er's face became paler. When Tian Shangshu finished speaking, his face was as pale as paper, but he pursed his lips tightly and did not argue at all.

Tian Shangshu looked at his face like paper, and his heart was faintly happy, but the sympathy in his eyes was even more intense, and he said with regret: "Your Majesty heard about this yesterday, and has ordered someone to investigate. Alas, this official feels However, during this investigation period, someone may go to Rong Langzhong to question and collect evidence, and it is not very good to go back to the yamen, why don't you just go home and rest and cooperate with the investigation."

"And this official believes that these days, Rong Langzhong is returning to the ancestry and moving, and he must be very busy. Why don't he go home and take care of the housework first."

Second Master Rong looked at Tian Shangshu's rare smile at him, but at this moment, he only felt ironic.

This Tian Shangshu has never paid much attention to himself as a petty official. Since the beginning of the year when Wen Xiyuan rejected the Tian family's marriage and expressed his love for his own daughter, Tian Shangshu looked at him with coldness in his eyes. of.

At this moment, if he believed how friendly the smile on Tian Shang's writing was and how sincere the sympathy in his eyes was, then he would still be the Bai Er who only knew that Yu Xiao's blind obedience to Mrs. .

He didn't argue either. I'm afraid that he may not be able to have His Majesty know about it, but His Majesty has asked people to investigate it, so naturally it has his intentions.

On that day, His Majesty said that he had something to do after he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestry and gave him a marriage.

The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die.

What His Majesty wants to do, apart from cooperating in accordance with the order, he does not dare to have a second opinion.

He took a breath and said to Tian Shangshu: "If that's the case, then this subordinate will go back to hand over the affairs with other colleagues. It's too much trouble for Sir."

After saying that, I quit.

Tian Shangshu looked at his straight back when he left, and felt disgusted in his heart. He just saw Bai Er, no, Rong Er's face was as pale as paper, but he didn't see any depression in him, which made him a little less so. carefree.

This self-righteous and self-righteous Rong Er, who thinks he has the lofty and arrogant literati, offends people without knowing it. I heard that his daughter, even more so than him, even dared to offend the young lady of Cheng'en's mansion and Lingguo's mansion.

Hmph, literati and filial piety are the most important things. Seeing how bad his reputation is this time, can he still maintain his arrogant and arrogant look?

There was no chance before, this time he must take this opportunity to kick him out of the Ministry of Works.

Master Rong Er's face was pale but he didn't show any signs of depression. His spine was even more upright. Tian Shangshu thought that although Rong Er was hit, it was still the self-righteous literati's "character".

But in fact he completely misunderstood Rong Er.

Master Rong Er was not depressed or lost his temper. That was because he had His Majesty's will, and he had the bottom line in his heart. He was going to go home and discuss with his daughter. Should he disclose the matter to the third son of the King of Shu and ask him What's wrong with this...

And the reason why his face was as pale as paper was because he thought that he had returned to the ancestry and moved, but it only happened for a few days, how could it have been passed on to the censor, and he had been impeached in the court yesterday. Woolen cloth?

Why do you get angry with the old lady and forcibly move out? How can outsiders find out these details so quickly?

Intuitively, he suspected that he was in the Bai family. Although he was in trouble with Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai, and almost tore his face, he still retained some father-son relationship in his heart. broken?

Forcibly moving out so quickly, it's just that I don't want to face the old lady Bai, I don't want to face those bad things, and I'm even more afraid that there will be more **** in the White House, which will ruin my daughter's marriage. This is not without some escapism.

But at this time, I learned that the Bai family might have contacted the censor and cut off his career. Could this make him feel pain and shock, and his face turned pale?

He also heard about it at this time, it was too sudden, he didn't analyze it rationally, and he didn't think for a while that someone else would come to harm him in the first place, so he decided intuitively. This is what the Bai family did...

He didn't know that this matter really had nothing to do with the Bai family, but that Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Ling Guogong, talked with Mrs. Bai at the end of last month, and has been following the news of the Bai family, waiting for the Bai family's reply.

Who knew that this second master Bai didn't know what kind of madness he was going to suddenly go to the yamen to change his surname, this... this.... In this way, the matter of forcing her to identify as a woman would be a waste.

No matter how arrogant and self-righteous she is, she knows that Mr. Rong Er has recovered his identity, and every word and deed, including his past, will be picked up and studied carefully by someone who wants to put Weijia under his name again, which is equivalent to It is to expose Weijia to people.

Mrs. Ling Guogong has basically never suffered any setbacks in her life, and she is really furious this time! However, the fact that a little gentleman dared to disobey her in this way made her feel really uneasy, so she was angry and revealed the matter to a censor who liked to flatter her on weekdays.

Therefore, there is the matter of the second master Rong who changed his name to Rong Qian in the imperial history... and Tian Shangshu's wife and daughter-in-law have many contacts with the lady of Ling Guogong on weekdays. I have heard about the lady of the Gongfu family for a long time...

And Mr. Rong Er handed over the affairs in the yamen, and went home full of grief and anger. At this time, he didn't know that there was another big scene in his new house. When he got home, he ran into it just now...

Let's talk about the Bai Mansion, on the day that the second master Rong moved out, the first master Bai went to the old lady's yard to find his mother and asked the second brother what was going on, but he didn't think his mother was "sick". In bed, in a coma.

He was so angry that his mother fell ill, but his second brother moved away regardless of his will. It is impossible to say that his mother was angry with his second brother. Even if the second brother was not the son of the Bai family, the Bai family had raised him for a while. Ten years, raising him to grow up, for him to study for exams, and then marrying him and having children, how can he so obliterate his conscience? !

He was so angry that he summoned the maid who served his mother to ask about the old lady's situation. He was ready to go to the second room to reprimand the second brother, but he didn't want to be invited away by Mrs. Bai's confidant as soon as he left the Shouxin Courtyard. .

Old man Bai looked at his eldest son with anger and exhausted his heart. He asked, "How is your second brother?"

Master Bai didn't dare to make trouble in front of his father and controlled his anger, but he still said with deep dissatisfaction: "Moving is in full swing! Father, what's going on with the second brother? Mother is sick. Is it also related to this matter?"

Old Mr. Bai's expression turned gloomy again, but he didn't expect that the wicked man had made up his mind and moved so fast! When Baifu is old clothes and rotten shoes, or is it Longtan Tiger Den?

He sighed and said as calmly as possible: "Your mother's place is none of your second brother's business. Your second brother is going to move out. I was afraid that she would cause trouble, so I added some soothing things to her medicine. "

He briefly explained to the eldest son the life experience of the second son, as well as the fact that His Majesty bestowed the third son of the King of Shu to marry him, and asked him to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan.

Finally: "Since His Majesty has a purpose, it is inevitable for your second brother to return to this sect, and this is also a matter of course."

"It's just that you never imagined that your mother, she was bewitched by your third siblings, and forced her to marry into the Wei family. As a result, your second brother became dissatisfied with your mother. It is even more prejudiced against the White House, and that's why I insisted on moving out so quickly."

Master Bai frowned and said, "Didn't my father just say that His Majesty has already said that he will marry Sister Shu to the third son of the King of Shu? As long as the second brother speaks out about this, how can the mother still pretend to be dead? Are you forcing Sister Shu to marry the Wei family?"

This time, Mrs. Bai was silent. As for the filth behind it, he couldn't say anything, and he felt that there was no need to say it, and the matter of forcing the second son to recognize the daughter of the previous princess as a daughter, he couldn't even say it. .

He sighed deeply and said, "Bokang, in any case, your mother is too much this time. The Wei family is too unbearable, your second brother has always loved Sister Shu, and it is inevitable to be angry. But your second brother has always been filial. I think this time, he was also in a hurry. After two days, his anger has almost disappeared, so you can accompany your daughter-in-law to your second brother's new house to have a look. If you need any help, I will persuade your second brother."

"In any case, although he is no longer surnamed Bai, and has been your younger brother for decades, our Bai family has also raised him for decades, and this bond cannot be broken. With your mother, I will also Persuade her, and when she gets better, let her apologize to your second brother, and relieve your second brother's heart, this family is still a family."

Master Bai replied yes, looking at his father who had always been dignified, tough and handsome, he seemed to be a dozen years old at this time, with a lot of dazzling white hair on his head, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

He naturally saw his father's resentment and dissatisfaction, but he also knew why his father would make compromises. It was the second younger brother who was so low-profile, not only because of his reluctance to let go of the father and son's love, but also because these children and grandchildren did not In the future, I have to rely on my second brother to take care of him and support him.

For a while, Master Bai was filled with grief and guilt, and even more dissatisfaction with Second Master Rong. I just wondered when the second brother became such an ungrateful and heartless person.

On the second day, Mrs. Bai withdrew the old lady's sedative, so as not to overdo it and it would be bad for her health.

When the old lady woke up, Mrs. Bai was neither provocative nor shy, but in a tired and cold tone, she broke apart the interests and smashed them into pieces and told her that she must find a way to fix it for the sake of the Bai family's descendants. The misunderstanding and estrangement with the second son asked for the forgiveness of the second son and granddaughter Shu.

The old lady had taken a large dose of tranquilizers for several days and just woke up. Due to the residual effect of the drugs, her emotions were not so excited. She is not an ignorant woman. In recent years, because her second son has followed her in everything, she is used to giving and asking, and she has the umbrella of filial piety, so she has no scruples, so she has lost her sense of proportion.

She was a little numb after listening to what Mrs. Bai said, but didn't say anything, only her eyes were so cold that it was chilling on a hot day.

Two days later, after listening to his father's words, Mr. Bai was going to take Mrs. Yang to see Mr. Rong Er's new house, thinking about how to talk to Mr. Rong Er in a good way, to clear up the misunderstanding, and let the two families resume communication. , at least Mr. Rong Er is still the adopted son of Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Bai?

Old Mrs. Bai was silent for two days, but this morning she asked to go to the second son's new house with the eldest son. She saw the doubts in the eyes of Mrs. Bai, and sneered: "Don't worry, I'm not going to cause trouble. Now, he is no longer the son who can be beaten and scolded by me in the past, he has developed, and his daughter is going to marry into the palace, and we have to rely on him to give him alms so that he can take care of some of his nephews and nieces."

Grandpa Bai frowned when he heard these harsh words, but he saw the old lady's calm expression and knew that she should have figured it out, but in the end she was not angry, so he said these words to vent his anger.

In fact, it was not only her, but also himself, he just suppressed his dissatisfaction and resentment, so he nodded, but he was worried and warned again.

This day also happened to be the day that Mr. Rong Er went to the yamen.

So Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai arrived at the Rong Mansion, but they could not see Mr. Rong Er and sat in the hall for half an hour before the former granddaughter-in-law Mrs. Li and the granddaughter are now Rong Jingyu Jingshu The two sisters came to receive them belatedly.

Let's talk about the new house of Mr. Rong Er, which is located in the new residential area of ​​West Street. The location is not very good, and there are many ordinary officials and families around, but there is a feature here, that is, the houses are very large and specially built. It's beautiful, especially delicate and unique, because although the official families here are not big, they are all from some backgrounds. Generally, most of the children of wealthy families from other places come to Beijing to become officials, and they buy houses and live in this area.

So this mansion is at least twice as big as the one in the Bai Mansion, and the courtyards are also exquisite and stylish, with a bit of Sichuan flavor.

Looking at the hall, the complete set of furniture and furnishings are all made of rare huanghuali wood, antique porcelain, famous paintings, and the tea that comes up, which is also high-quality new tea.

Old Mrs. Bai was also the young lady of a century-old scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River. She couldn't have seen these things. Even Mr. Bai and his wife were not superficial.

They looked at the bright new house, the furnishings, and the row of maids waiting in the hall. Only they knew what they felt in their hearts.

Half an hour later, when the calmness on Madam Bai's face was about to collapse, and when Master Bai's brows were about to catch a fly, Mrs. Li finally led the two sisters, Jing Yu and Jing Shu, into the hall.

As soon as Mrs. Li entered the hall, she apologized sincerely: "Old Madam, Mrs. Madam, I have kept you waiting for a long time. In fact, we have just moved here, and we are busy enough, and the concierge maids are all too busy. It's a newcomer, I haven't trained well, so I neglected the old lady, the eldest master and the eldest lady, please forgive me."

This title...

Old Madam Bai's face was gloomy, but she didn't lose her temper, she just nodded stiffly while gritted her teeth, while Mrs. Yang, the eldest lady beside her, forced a smile and said with some affection: "Brother Zhang Why is my daughter-in-law so polite, we came here this time to see if there is anything you need help here, how can you blame you for being neglectful?"

As she spoke, she went to look at the two sisters, Jingyu and Jingshu, who were behind her. She wanted to say a few affectionate words, but when she saw it, she was stunned for a while.

Because it is, the contrast is too great.

Rong Jingyu's appearance is not particularly outstanding and eye-catching. She can only be regarded as beautiful and dignified. When she was in the White House, she wore the same four-season clothes as her cousins, and she also wore simple clothes. Simple hairpin, quiet and calm personality, not showing at all on weekdays.

As for Jingshu, since she arrived in Beijing, she tried her best to dress in a low-key manner. On Zhuangzi, she wore plain clothes and coarse cloth, and did not wear any jewelry.

But at this time, Rong Jingyu was wearing a crimson Liuyun Shu embroidered dress, with a silk red peacock hairpin on her head, and a large jewel-encrusted stone pendant on her chest. Well, the appearance that was not particularly outstanding actually became eye-catching.

As for Jingshu, she was born stunning, but at this time she was simply wearing a lake blue skirt with silver patterns and dark flowers, and her jewelry was also a simple jasper comb and jasper pendant, but that jade But they all seem to have water color flow, crystal clear, and you can see that they are very valuable at a glance. However, these are only comparable to her snow jade-like skin. She only looked at it superficially, and the eldest lady had the illusion that she couldn't bear to stare at it.

In the moment of Yang's mistake, Li has already brought the two sisters, Jing Yu and Jing Shu, to sit down in a row of armchairs opposite Old Madam Bai and the others.

Apart from the previous greeting and apology, all of them didn't greet each other, let alone wait for Mrs. Bai to speak before taking the last seat.
