The Bai family has a daughter who wants to turn over

Chapter 15 The Old Lady's Birthday Banquet
The Cheng family has been the richest man in the Kangxuan Dynasty for hundreds of years. They have mastered the water and land economic gateways in major cities, and they pay hundreds of thousands of taxes every year. Even the current emperor values ​​some of it.

The old lady of the Cheng family is a legendary figure. It is said that when the emperor was still the crown prince, he fell in love with his sister. The old lady Cheng, who was only fourteen years old, met the emperor in person, saying that the businessmen of the Cheng family did not dare to be promoted, and that the Cheng family had one heart. In business, I don't want future descendants to take advantage of the Cheng family's financial resources to try to do politics and ruin the Cheng family's foundation.

Hearing this, the emperor was overjoyed, not only canceled the marriage offer, but also vigorously promoted the Cheng family, creating a grand occasion that the Cheng family had never had before.

Now that Old Master Cheng has passed away for many years, although the Cheng family is no longer the favorite of the dragon, they have always controlled the economic vitals of the Kangxuan Dynasty, and they have firmly held the position of the richest man until today.

Mrs. Cheng used to accompany Mrs. Cheng to fight the country, and the experience of meeting the late emperor and the current emperor many times is already envied by all women. Mrs. Cheng is a wife, and this matter is also a legend.

Therefore, on the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Cheng, almost all the dignitaries in the imperial capital came to celebrate, and there was no difference in the limelight.

When Bai Shuangshuang followed a group of female relatives to the Shi'an Pavilion where the old lady Cheng lived in the backyard, she couldn't stop her heart beating faster on the way.

She walked this road countless times in her previous life, most of which were crying.That's right, at that time she always came to complain to the old lady Cheng, because of Cheng Ruohan's neglect, because of Bai Mingzhu's aggressiveness, and because of her status as the second young mistress of Cheng that existed in name only.

Now that I think about it, Mrs. Cheng has been protecting her to the best of her ability, but because what happened to her was Cheng Ruohan's secret affair, Mrs. Cheng can only be with her and listen to her most of the time. cry.

"Old lady! I wish you good luck like the East China Sea, and a long life than Nanshan!"

When Bai Shuangshuang was distracted, Mrs. Zheng had already led Bai Mingzhu to pay her respects.

After Bai Mingzhu finished her congratulatory speech, she walked directly to Old Madam Cheng's couch in front of everyone, knelt down beside Madam Cheng's lap affectionately, and beat her legs and feet for Madam Cheng very naturally.

"Old lady, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss Mingzhu~"

The old lady Cheng laughed straight after hearing this, touched the top of Bai Mingzhu's hair and joked, "Look at this girl, she has such a sweet mouth."

All the female relatives also laughed out loud, praising Bai Mingzhu for being sensible and lovely.

Bai Mingzhu's closeness to Mrs. Cheng is not surprising to these people. Everyone knows that Bai Mingzhu and Mrs. Cheng have a good relationship, and there are private discussions that Bai Mingzhu has taken the position of the second young lady of Cheng.

After the old lady laughed for a while, she raised her head and looked behind Mrs. Zheng: "Where is Shuangshuang?"

Bai Shuangshuang stood behind Zheng with her head down all the time, and when she heard the old lady's familiar voice, she was so sad that she almost burst into tears, and took several deep breaths before holding back her tears.

The smiles on Zheng's and Bai Mingzhu's faces froze for a moment, but it was difficult to show it. Bai Mingzhu showed a fake angry expression, pouted and said: "The old lady is partial, and my sister forgot about Mingzhu when she came."

"Oh, oh, I'm jealous now. Come on, take the red envelope, don't be unhappy!" Although Old Madam Cheng was joking with Bai Mingzhu, her eyes were still looking behind Mrs. Zheng.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng couldn't procrastinate any longer, and reluctantly called Bai Shuangshuang to come forward: "Hurry up and celebrate the old lady's birthday."

"..."

Bai Shuangshuang only felt that her steps were filled with lead, but her mood was somewhat expectant. She tried her best to maintain her composure and walked over slowly, without daring to raise her head, she walked to the futon in front of Mrs. Cheng, and knelt down and kowtowed .

"Shuangshuang congratulates the old lady on her birthday, and wishes the old lady good health..."

"..."

…………

Everyone and Mrs. Cheng were generally a little stunned, and they didn't know what Miss Bai was doing.

It was only then that Bai Shuangshuang realized that with her current status, she didn't need to kowtow to celebrate her birthday... It's just that she was distracted just now and subconsciously used the etiquette she used when meeting the old lady Cheng in her previous life.

Because the old lady Cheng hadn't recovered, she forgot to wake Bai Shuangshuang for a while, and Bai Shuangshuang could only kneel on the futon, not knowing what to do.

"Grandma, Miss Bai has already given such a big gift, I'm afraid the red envelopes you prepared are not enough."

A warm male voice suddenly sounded in the warm pavilion, Bai Shuangshuang couldn't help but look up to find the sound, but saw a man who looked sixty percent similar to Cheng Ruohan sitting on the side seat, the man was wearing a dark blue robe, his face was slightly pale He was a little pale, but he couldn't stop the warm aura emanating from his whole body. His two thick eyebrows were curving, and his deep eyes were looking at her gently.

Is it Cheng Ruoyun? !
That's right, Bai Shuangshuang in the previous life did not come to the birthday banquet, but I also heard that it was Cheng Ruoyun's words in the birthday banquet that made Zheng's plan to replace Bai Shuangshuang with Bai Mingzhu.Bai Shuangshuang from the previous life is very grateful to this elder brother.

Bai Shuangshuang was also a little surprised to see Cheng Ruoyun, the young master of the Cheng family here, and what caught her off guard was that Cheng Ruoyun showed a bit of curiosity after seeing the tears that hadn't disappeared from Bai Shuangshuang's eyes.

Fortunately, Cheng Ruoyun's interruption not only improved Bai Shuangshuang's melancholy mood, but also dissipated a lot of the strange atmosphere in the Nuan Pavilion just now.

The old lady Cheng hurriedly followed Cheng Ruoyun's words: "Yes, yes, come quickly, Shuangshuang, come quickly, let grandma have a look, look good, and I will give you two red envelopes."

The female relatives laughed again when they heard the joke.

Bai Shuangshuang stood up and walked over. Mrs. Cheng directly took Bai Shuangshuang's hand, caressed it carefully, and looked at her lovingly: "Shuangshuang has grown up and lost weight." The man complained: "You don't know, this girl used to be chubby and chubby, and she would crawl on me whenever she saw me."

A female family member next to her covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Old lady, you really think about it, but Miss Bai is such a big person, you can't bear to climb up."

This was an interesting remark, and everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.

He smiled casually, but some people could tell that Mrs. Cheng was more intimate with this Miss Bai who hadn't been seen in front of her for many years. This kind of intimacy was different from the passive one with Bai Mingzhu, and was more active. concern.

But Bai Mingzhu, who was still sitting by Old Madam Cheng's lap, felt a little uncomfortable. She stood up resentfully, and smiled at everyone, "What should I say? The old lady just forgot about Mingzhu."

The original embarrassment was resolved by Bai Mingzhu's words, and everyone became familiar again.

Probably because there were too many people present, the old lady had a lot to say, but she was reluctant to part with Bai Shuangshuang, so she kept holding Bai Shuangshuang's hand to chat and laugh with everyone.

"Ruoyun is a bit lazy today, and he doesn't want to socialize outside, so he left it all to Ruohan, and ran to my warm pavilion to hide, tell me, do you want to beat him out?"

"Old Ancestor, that's out of the question. Sooner or later, Ruohan will inherit the Cheng family's family business. Isn't it a good thing to exercise earlier?" Cheng Ruoyun smiled slightly and said gently.

The old lady Cheng looked at Cheng Ruoyun, the pain and regret in her eyes flashed, and said: "Look, this child just won't let me talk, right?"

A gleam flashed in Zheng's eyes, and he said, "Oh, old ancestor, what are you talking about, if Ruohan trains to become a talent earlier, wouldn't he be able to help Ruoyun?"

"That's what you said, too."

The female relatives next to her also agreed, and changed the subject with Mrs. Cheng.On the other hand, Bai Shuangshuang secretly glanced in Cheng Ruoyun's direction.Cheng Ruoyun was still smiling slightly, still smiling incomparably gentle, in that spring-like smile, Bai Shuangshuang seemed to have noticed the loneliness and helplessness that flashed in his eyes.

Bai Shuangshuang seemed to empathize with her, and her eyes dimmed for a moment. For Cheng Ruoyun, she couldn't restrain herself from thinking of Cheng Ruoyun in her previous life. If he knew that in her last life, she died at the hands of this very cherished younger brother, he would also what will happen?Thinking of this, Bai Shuangshuang couldn't help feeling more sympathetic, compassionate and sad.

When Bai Shuangshuang raised her eyes again, she met Cheng Ruoyun's eyes.That Bai Shuangshuang had no choice but to quickly turn her head away, her heart beating violently.

At that glance, Cheng Ruoyun clearly saw that there was sympathy and sadness in the eyes of the younger sister of the Bai family who had met several times when she was a child?
Why do you have such an expression, is it because of her, or because of yourself? !
