Foster son and husband

Chapter 166 Night Visit ([-])

Fang Zi, who asked for Bai Jingyu, sent Cuisi to Huifangyuan before dinner, and Cuisi also got an embroidered pouch from Bai Jingyu, stuffed with a silver ingot weighing two taels in it, and two packs of good The tea and two boxes of exotic balm were given to Lord Hou and Grandma respectively.Bai Jingyu is not a person who is bored, Kui Ye's visit, of course, is to tell something important - she brought news from Jinhuatang.

Cui Lian Cui Si carried Heng'er into the partition, put Heng'er on the bed to play, the two of them coaxed and watched while doing needlework, Cuixi went down to make tea, Mei Niang asked Bai Jingyu to sit on the couch, and listened to Bai Jingyu's report The old lady's words made her heart happy: It's done!It is estimated that we will find out tomorrow!
Bai Jingyu was worried for Mei Niang: "I heard my mother-in-law reported that my sister-in-law was angry with the old lady in Jinhuatang, so I hurried to find out what happened, but I didn't know that no one was there after arriving at Jinhuatang: my sister-in-law is missing. , the old lady said that she was going to the palace to see the queen mother. I was taken aback at that time. I couldn't find my sister-in-law everywhere. I thought you had already entered the palace. I wanted to talk to Rulan, but I was afraid that it would be bad for her to worry too much. I have to order the wives to keep their mouths shut and not to gossip. I thought about it for a while, and went to finish other things first, and waited carefully. It's the baptism of the prince for three dynasties. How can the queen mother not be busy? The old lady is old, and she is not invited to watch the ceremony. If she goes uninvited, she may not be able to enter the palace gate! Who knows to wait and wait until dinner time. My wife hasn't come back yet, so I had to eat first before talking. Just after eating, the second master sent someone to call me, saying that he had just picked up the old lady and asked me to wait in the Jinhua Hall. I hurried over, the old lady The wife sat upright in the hall, looking good, with a smile on her face. Cousin Zhuang was making tea, and the second master and fifth master were talking with her, and they were invited to invite the second master and second wife. The second master did not return, but the second wife came , I just heard the old lady say such things, and I felt chills in my heart. She said... Mrs. Qin has a vicious disease, is arrogant and rude, unvirtuous and filial, and disobedient to her elders. The Queen Mother is angry this time. One day, you can issue a decree to divorce your wife! How good is life? The sister-in-law can quickly find her elder brother to come back to discuss how to save it--it is no small matter to issue a decree to order a divorce! After that, the sister-in-law leaves Xu's mansion, it will be considered a thousand blessings All right, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married again!"

Mei Niang laughed: "Thank you! But don't worry about me, just rest, what are you afraid of? The old lady said that I have a serious disease, arrogant and rude, unvirtuous and disfilial, and disobedient to the elders. She fabricated these charges out of thin air. , I don’t recognize any of them!”

Bai Jingyu lowered her head slightly: "The people in the mansion naturally know what's going on... But no matter what, the old lady is always the oldest generation in the mansion and even the clan, and even the patriarch has to respect her a little bit. Sometimes even the second master can't disobey her, how can the sister-in-law dare to contradict her? Now the only one who can save the matter is the elder brother, sister-in-law, look, do you teach people to find him quickly..."

Mei Niang knows that Bai Jingyu sincerely wants to help her now, and the relationship between people is delicate. People who hate each other and have hostile feelings before find out that they can become trustworthy friends after getting to know each other under certain circumstances. ——I just don’t know if she would be petrified if she knew that Mei Niang is actually another person.

Mei Niang decided to maintain her usual peaceful attitude, not to explain her inner thoughts to anyone, and there was no need to explain anything to Bai Jingyu, and it would not be too late to talk about it when the result came out.No one would really help her, so she had to figure out the matter of leaving the Xu Mansion by herself. As the saying goes, it is better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage. There are close and loyal people around her, such as Cui Lian. Now they are not very willing for her to leave the Xu Mansion, let alone the people of Xu Mansion who have a good impression of her.

I can finally leave, and I will never let go of this opportunity. Apart from a few people who get along well with each other, the Xu Mansion has nothing to miss. The hypocritical old woman, the moody, oppressive and undiscussed Mrs. Zheng, will secretly compete with each other to make you upset The second wife, the second master who doesn't know much and always has a serious face, she can't afford to serve these top elders, and then there is Xu Junying, the general should be simple and direct, but he has an unknown personality. After getting along for so long, she seems Seeing more of his meek side, always teaching her a lesson, just like the old lady and the eldest lady, who always used rules to overwhelm others. In fact, the old lady has a good vision, and Zhuang Yulan is his best match, and she will definitely obey him firmly. He doesn't need to spend much time teaching and admonishing.

She did not hesitate to destroy her image as a virtuous person. She has already achieved this step. With so many crimes, she was expelled from the Xu Mansion. This is the result she wanted. The only thing she feels a little sorry for is that she has ruined the reputation of the Qin family. Especially the girls of the Qin family who are waiting to be married will affect their future. They are afraid that they can't wait to chop up Qin Liuniang. The bad influence caused by this incident was minimized, so I made a three-month agreement with Xu Junying. Now it seems that the old saying is true: it is up to people to plan things, and God to make things happen!

It's a big deal, she won't step into the Qin family's family in the future, and just ask for a favor in the future to break away from the Qin family. As for Mrs. Qin, Qin Boqing and his wife, and the two newborn buns, she has nothing to do with them , What should be done, has been done, and she is still willing to admit her, she is still their close relative, if she refuses to admit it, she can't force it, and she will not bother them again.

When Meiniang thought of this, her nose turned sour, and her eyes were covered with tears. Bai Jingyu thought it was because she was sad because she was about to be divorced, and her eyes were red with her. She had experienced that kind of pain. Handsome with a wolf brush in his hand and writing the divorce letter quickly, she wanted to hit her head to death.

The two sat in silence, Cuixi brought tea, Mei Niang remembered the two packs of tea leaves and the precious balm that Bai Jingyu had given her, and thanked her, Bai Jingyu shook her head:
"My sister-in-law really treats me well, I know it in my heart, and there is nothing good to give away, only these two things, the balm is brought back by the fleet from the sea, it has a unique fragrance, delicate and smooth, I always pay attention to it when I was in my mother's house. I entrust someone to buy it, which is different from the local homemade one. My sister-in-law will use it first, and then I will teach you to buy it later. The tea is the last crop of autumn tea last year. Have you heard of Yuxi late autumn? This is the world-famous fragrance. Tea, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. I specially found a gift for the second master. He is not with me now, and I don’t care about him. I only got four boxes of this tea, and I gave Rulan one box. Leave one box, and the two boxes will be given to you and elder brother!"

Mei Niang wanted to say something, but she hesitated, and finally she could only say thank you with a smile. Sometimes, other people's kindness must be accepted.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Bai Jingyu said again: "My in-laws are happy to have twins. Our mansion received the good news and sent a congratulatory gift to them yesterday. Tomorrow, I'll let the housekeeper do the laundry for the three dynasties according to the usual practice." Prepare, the old lady, the eldest wife and the second wife each prepared a gift, and the sisters-in-law of each house came to discuss with me. They originally wanted to make a big gift together, but then I thought about whether the son and daughter of the relatives are twins, so it should be more clear. According to the rule, the respective gifts are paid in silver per kilometer, and you can choose according to your own wishes. Is there anything wrong with my sister-in-law? Because the eldest wife is ill, I have to go to discuss with the second wife. The second wife said, wait for the second master to come back. I've asked, who will take the lead to go to congratulate the mansion tomorrow, Rulan is pregnant and young, but it's not suitable to go with her, no matter what the second wife decides, I will go with my sister-in-law!"

Meiniang thought to herself that there was no need to reject Bai Jingyu's kindness at this time. The old lady came back from the palace, so arrogantly and confidently speaking, it showed that the Queen Mother gave her an affirmative answer, and the decisive and lifetime-related moment was coming. Well, she might not necessarily return to the Qin residence tomorrow, she has to wait for a while to see what's going on in the palace.

So he said to Bai Jingyu: "Second Grandma Lao is bothering you! Everything is done according to the usual rules. You know the rules better than me, so you don't have to explain everything. You can sign a note and do it without the need for the government to spend less than 300 taels. Ask me, Director Rulan did the same before, I believe you. We will talk about He Sanchao tomorrow, and I will naturally lead the way when the time comes. The elders are not feeling well, so it’s fine if you don’t go!"

Bai Jingyu felt a little sorry, as if she was an elder in the mansion, Mei Niang smiled and said: "It's okay, you also know that I don't stay in Hou Mansion for a day or two, I don't care about those imaginary things long ago!"

The two chatted casually, talking about Rulan, the second master and the second wife, the concubines of the second room, and Xu Junlang, the concubine who gave birth to his son. Bai Jingyu was more open than before, and finally let go Jie, smiled, sighed, and chatted, and the lady of Huifangyuan came to report that the eldest sister woke up from her dream and cried to find her mother. Xi held the lamp, the master and the servant sent them out of the courtyard gate, looked away, turned back, let the mother-in-law close the door to rest, no matter whether Xu Junying can come back or not, there is still a way for him to come and go freely , the small corner gate of the East Courtyard, and it hasn’t rained these days, so it’s best to rest in the East Courtyard.

The gate of Tsinghua University closed, and two people walked out from the bushes not far from the gate, they were Bai Zhan and Bao Ju.

Baoju looked left and right, and whispered to Bai Zhan: "After entering the palace at noon today to see the emperor, he went out of the city and took Xiao Chengzhi and the others to the north. This time, the emperor still doesn't trust others when he checks the weapons of King Wei's private soldiers. The Lord is a discerning person, and he will know the truth after a tour of the Wei King's fief. Xiao Chengzhi and the others can rest assured. What I care about is the grandma, and I am afraid that this one will fly away. You and I have a heavy burden. You should keep an eye on the movement in the mansion. , the few of us are only in the outer street, everything has the emperor, there shouldn't be any major incidents, but we can't be careless—you think the grandma is treating me like this now? And our master is a little short in front of her for no reason Point, it’s really not like the old master! The master forbids me to show up too soon, he has been hundreds of miles away from the city, and he doesn’t want to say it, just to prevent the grandma from knowing that he is out of the city... It must be concealed It’s not bad, what if we can’t hide it? Grandma has already had a deep prejudice against us, and she was treated lightly in Cyclamen last time, I’m afraid she will be punished more severely this time!”

Bai Zhan smiled wryly: "As long as she doesn't run away, she will be punished! Grandma is so skilled, she can get rid of us, there is nothing she can't do!"

　Originally planned to have a second shift tonight, but the plan was disrupted again. Someone called A Rou and dragged her out of the house. . . . . .
