Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 119
"I didn't expect Brother Bai to do such things by himself, which is really admirable." Wei Ling couldn't help but praise.
Bai Shu laughed twice and said: "I have nothing to do, I always have to do something. I just happen to be interested in it, so it's nothing."
Mrs. Wei and Wei Ling looked at each other, and couldn't help but secretly sighed at the same time.
It's no wonder that Xie Huaiyu, who has always had his eyes above the top, would fall in love with such a brother. This Bai brother can not only make money, but also kung fu, and is proficient in various miscellaneous studies.Although the handwriting is not good, but the analysis of things is orderly, it is really an all-rounder.
Compared with him, Wei Yu has nothing to show for him except that face.
That Wei Yu intends to marry into Xie's family, and at this time, he is also intentionally flattering Bai Shu, and repeatedly praised: "Brother Bai is really too modest. There is only one brother in the whole Daxuan who is as capable as you, Yu I really admire it."
Although he said so in his mouth, he really didn't think so in his heart.
When he saw Xie Huaiyu that day, he really liked it, and that's why Wei Yu always harbored a hint of hostility toward Bai Shu.
He felt that his status was much more noble than Bai Shu's, but he could only see Bai Shu became the wife of Xie's family, and he was still so beautiful, so he felt very unhappy.
Although his sister Wei Ling and mother Mrs. Xie had reminded him in every possible way, Wei Yu still remembered what Wen Xiu'e said that day.
No matter how good this Baizhu is, it is just a bad child, so what?A family like the Xie family can't just marry a hen that can't lay eggs. As long as he marries in and gives birth to a son and a half for Xie Huaiyu, he will definitely win Xie Huaiyu's heart.
Even if she is just a concubine in the future, her status will not be inferior to that of Bai Shu.
Countless thoughts flashed through Wei Yu's mind like a movie, but others knew nothing about it.
Bai Shu was pleased by his praise, so he also smiled and said: "If you want to learn, you can learn it. I see that your handwriting is good. I think you are a hard worker. You should learn it very quickly."
Seeing Bai Shu's attitude, Madam Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that this brother Bai is really good-tempered, and he doesn't really dislike Wei Yu. If he mentions that matter later, he shouldn't be angry.
At this time, the snacks in the back kitchen were also ready, and the maids brought them, and walked in like flowing water.
Because there are guests coming, all the family members of Xie's family will come out to receive them.Xie Ling and Xie Qin got the notice and rushed over from the school.
When Madam Wei saw Xie Ling, she was smiling again, and looked her up and down.
Hearing that Xie Ling came from Mr., he asked about some things he had learned recently.
Xie Ling and Xie Qin had only become monks halfway, and hadn't learned anything great, so they had to tell the truth with blushing faces.
Bai Shu said to Mrs. Wei: "They have never learned it before, and they only hired a gentleman half a year ago. It is not easy to make such progress now."
Madam Wei thought about it, and she knew what Bai Shu meant.
Presumably the Lou family, who was in charge of the family before, did not let the two elder brothers of the Xie family go to school at all.
But it doesn't matter if you learn less, it's better than those who show off their literary talents.
Mrs. Wei had a good impression of Xie Ling in her heart, and now she liked him more and more, even helping to find reasons for his shortcomings.
Xie Ling didn't know what Mrs. Wei was thinking, but felt that she was very enthusiastic.
After the banquet that day, he also had a good impression of the Wei family, so he talked to Wei Ling and Wei Yu from the side, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.
Bai Shu introduced Xie's dim sum to them one by one, after everyone tasted it, they were full of praise.
The cook of the Xie family really lived up to its reputation, compared with his family, the Wei family was really far behind.
When the snacks were almost used up, Mrs. Wei got up and said: "Brother Bai, I have been to Xie's house several times, but I have never visited this garden, would you like to accompany me?"
Bai Shu was stunned, she couldn't say she didn't want to, so she also got up and said: "Then be respectful, it's better to obey, let me take Mrs. Wei to have a good look around."
Xie Ling and Xie Qin also got up, but Wei Ling pulled them down and said, "Don't go, sit down and talk with us. It's hot today, and I don't want to go too much, so I'm in the gazebo Depend on it."
Hearing this, Xie Ling took a look at Bai Shu, and Bai Shu nodded to him and said, "You stay here and greet the guests well. I'll just accompany Mrs. Wei alone."
After Xie Ling heard this, he called his servants to ask the back kitchen to prepare iced mung bean soup.
But Bai Shu only brought Chang Xi along, accompanied Mrs. Wei to leave, and introduced to her the scenery of Xie's house.
Although this Xiejiayuan is big, it is only a man-made scenery after all, and it is nothing special. It is far worse than those mountains and rivers that Bai Zhu has seen outside.
But after all, it was the client's request, Bai Shu still spoke patiently.
It's just that after he said a few words, he found that Mrs. Wei's mind was not on the scenery, but seeing that she was far away from the pavilion, she opened her mouth and said to Bai Shu: "Brother Bai, I came here today because I really have a heart in my heart." There is something that has bothered me for a long time, and I came here to ask Brother Bai for a solution."
Bai Shu heard what she said was weird, she didn't know what it was, she didn't ask her relatives for an explanation, but she wanted to ask someone she didn't know very well.
But he couldn't say that, so Bai Shu could only ask patiently: "What is Mrs. Wei talking about? Let's hear it."
Mrs. Wei just smiled when she heard the words, looked at Wei Yu in the gazebo and said, "Brother Bai, how is my Yu'er?"
Suddenly Madam Wei asked about Wei Yu, Bai Shu was taken aback, frowned with some premonition in his heart, and said some formulaic words: "Brother Wei is enthusiastic and talented, very good."
"Alas..." Mrs. Wei said with a sigh of relief: "It is true, this child is filial and well-behaved, he is indeed a good one."
"It's just..." Mrs. Wei paused and said, "He's almost double ninth now, but he hasn't found a suitable husband's family yet. I'm really anxious about his marriage, and I can't sleep because of worry every day. "
Mrs. Wei's statement was a very clear hint among the female family members in Beijing.
The children in the family can't get married, but they have to find someone else to find a way.If the man's family is also interested in this, they will continue to talk about it by sharing their worries and solving problems, and consider the matter of marriage proposal.
It's just that Mrs. Wei is talking to Bai Shu now, she is really playing the piano to the cow with such a tactful method.
Not to mention that Bai Shu didn't understand her hint at all, even if he understood, he must pretend not to know.
Hearing Mrs. Wei's words, Bai Shu felt even more perplexed. After thinking for a while, she said, "I've always slept very well. I don't have any special prescriptions for this cure for insomnia. But I listen to books and the scent of some flowers can relieve pain. Insomnia, Mrs. Wei can give it a try."
Madam Wei: "..."
She looked at Bai Shu's eyes, and saw that his eyes were clear, as if he really didn't understand, rather than rejecting.So he coughed and said again: "It's just that Wei Yu can't get married, it's always been a problem of mine. Even if there is a panacea, it can't cure the disease. It still needs to be solved from the root."
Bai Shu nodded when he heard the words and said: "You're right, heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. Wei Yu is still young, why is Mrs. Wei rushing to send him out? My Xie Ling is now in her twenties, thank you Huai Yu said to keep him for two more years, and Wei Yu is not yet eighteen, so it's okay to keep him and see him slowly. Mrs. Wei has to resolve her heart disease before she can recover."
Madam Wei: "..."
Mrs. Wei exerted a lot of strength, but Bai Shu went straight to the point every time.
She couldn't bear it any longer, and asked bluntly: "Brother Bai, have you ever thought about taking Mr. Xie as a concubine?"
As soon as Bai Shu heard it, he said directly: "Of course it's impossible. My husband, but I want to give him a concubine? Are you crazy?"
Mrs. Wei choked, thought for a while, and said: "But this is a decent family in Beijing. If a wife doesn't take a concubine for her husband, then she is unvirtuous and unfilial...will be chewed on. "
Bai Shu laughed loudly when he heard the words: "I don't live my life for others. They want to chew their tongues, so why can't they stop chewing because of your dogma?"
"Mrs. Wei, before I came to Beijing, there was a merchant named Huang in Fucheng. He had a family and a wife, but he was also greedy and lustful. He married many concubines and went back to torture. This Mr. Huang has many methods of torturing people, and he has killed many people. The young concubine was tortured to death, but his 'virtuous' wife not only did not dissuade him, but instead helped the evildoer for her own good name."
Bai Shu said and looked into the distance, thought of the dead Bai He, shook his head and said: "Later, finally, his family's concubine finally had someone who couldn't stand the torture, not asking for death by himself, but dying together with that old man Huang. Once Mr. Huang died, Mrs. Huang organized the funeral wantonly and spent a lot of money to bury Mr. Huang, which won praise again."
"I went back to Baitang Village a few days ago, and when I passed Fucheng, I heard about this Mrs. Huang again. Madam Wei, guess, how is this highly praised Mrs. Huang doing now?" Bai Shu asked suddenly.
Mrs. Wei didn't know, so she could only shake her head.
Bai Shu then said: "I thought that she would be able to live well with a child and manage the family business well. Who would have heard that this time, Mrs. Huang's child has been blinded by her ears and eyes since she was a child. My father is just like him. He was obsessed with beauty at a young age and contracted some strange disease. Mrs. Huang went to countless doctors but failed to cure her. She died in April of the following year. Mrs. Huang lost her child, so naturally the Huang family did not. Ken put his property in the hands of a woman with a foreign surname, so he kicked her out, and went around saying that she seduced the servants in the family. This Mrs. Huang returned to her natal family, and her natal family sent people away to save her reputation. temple."
Mrs. Wei was startled when she heard it, but felt a little empathetic.
She is also a person who cherishes her reputation very much, but fortunately, the Wei family has a good family style, and Wei Houye is also reliable. Although the Wei family has concubines, they are only two or three, which is better than other families in Beijing. of.
But she also had badly married sisters and girlfriends.Their husbands lingered in the flowers every day, but they pretended to be virtuous and married one after another, but the pain in their hearts was indescribable.
"This Mrs. Huang has been seeking fame all her life, and she is also a very famous woman in the central plains of Fucheng. But now she has nothing, not even a reputation." Bai Shu said coldly: "Fame is just a matter of what you hold in your hand. How many chips are there. With my Baishu ability, the chips in my hand are indispensable, and there is no need to worry about reputation."
When he first entered Beijing, everyone laughed at him as a country bumpkin, but now everyone respects him and treats him as a guest of honor.It is really ridiculous to use this kind of frame to limit yourself.
Mrs. Wei was stunned, she didn't expect Bai Shu to be so straightforward.
But she had to admit that what Bai Shu said was absolutely right.At her age and status, don't you want to turn around and curry favor with this brother from the countryside in front of you?
Although Bai Shu's words were straightforward, she did not disrespect her in any way, which made Mrs. Wei even more convinced.
Just listening to Bai Shu, Wei Yu's matter must not be completed, and he needs to go back and explain to Lord Wei Hou, and make more fuss from Wei Qiong.
"After hearing Brother Bai's words, I have finally untied the knot in my heart these days..." Mrs. Wei said with a smile.
Bai Shu didn't know how Mrs. Wei's knot was resolved so quickly, but she was happy to hear that.
The two walked around the garden for a while, and Madam Wei said she was thirsty, and they went back to the gazebo together.
Although Wei Yu was sitting in the pavilion, her eyes followed Bai Shu and Mrs. Wei all the time.
Seeing that Bai Shu and Mrs. Wei seemed to be having a happy conversation, he thought that his matter was probably settled.
Seeing the two came back together, he hurriedly got up to greet him, took Bai Shu's hand and said, "The weather is so hot, mother and brother Bai are finally back. This mung bean soup from Xie's family is also very refreshing. Come and taste."
Mrs. Wei coughed, her eyes flashed, she pulled Wei Yu to sit down, drank another cup of tea, and excused herself to leave.
As soon as Wei Ling saw Mrs. Wei's expression, she knew that this matter must not be done.
Wei Yu was still ignorant, until he got into the carriage, he pulled Mrs. Wei anxiously and asked, "Mother, did Brother Bai agree?"
Mrs. Wei shook her head and said: "No, don't think about the Xie family. In the future, if there is such a good family, my mother will take good care of you."
Seeing Wei Yu's obviously disappointed expression, Mrs. Wei said again: "In fact, it's not bad for those with smaller families. It's better to be a wife than to be a concubine."
Wei Yu nodded, forcing out a smile, but his heart was overwhelmed, and a trace of hatred was secretly born.
How can a small family have the style of this big family.Even if he became the main wife, so what, how can the gentleman be as good as Xie Huaiyu?
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Wei thought he could let go, so she didn't try to comfort him.Objecting to Wei Ling, she said: "I see that Xie Ling is pretty good, and he is a good match with your cousin Wei Qiong. Now that Yuer and Xie's marriage is hopeless, why don't you go to work as a third house and let Wei Qiong thank you for this?" Ling married..."
Hearing this, Wei Yu felt even more resentful.If I can't get married with the Xie family, then Xie Ling will be taken advantage of.
Xie Ling is just a brother, even if he is a descendant, why can he be the wife of his son of the Hou family?
However, what Wei Yu thought in his heart would not affect Mrs. Wei's decision.
When she got home, she went to find Lord Wei Hou and told him everything about today.
Although Marquis Wei felt that Bai Shu was really stingy, he didn't allow his husband to take concubines, which was not virtuous at all.
But after all, he can't manage other people's family affairs. Since this way doesn't work, he can only go another way.
So Wei Houye brought his younger brother Wei Han, analyzed the pros and cons with him, talked about the advantages of marrying Xie's family, and asked him to go to Xie Huaiyu to marry Xie Ling.
When Wei Han went back and talked to Wei Jiangshi, Wei Jiangshi burst into tears and shouted at the outside of the courtyard: "Your Wei family is really a bully, why do you want my son to marry a brother?" Son? It’s just too deceitful!”
She made a big commotion, Mrs. Wei was afraid that Zhang Yang's ruthlessness would spread out of the house, so she quickly suppressed the matter, and went back to appease her.
When Wei Qiong came back from the academy, he heard about this. He had mixed feelings in his heart, so he went to Wei Jiangshi and asked, "Why is mother like this? The marriage between the Wei family and the Xie family is a win-win thing, why not? Besides, this matter has not been written yet, if you make such a big fuss, if it gets out, won't it hurt Xie Ling's reputation?"
Wei Qiong has always been a filial person, but because of this incident, it was the first time that Wei Jiangshi violated Wei Jiangshi's wishes. Wei Jiangshi was angry and hated, and dared not make trouble anymore, but cried in the room without even having dinner. eat.
The next day, he packed up his things and went back to his mother's house, which made Wei Han, who was in the third room, sigh a lot for a day. Because of this matter, he didn't have the heart to go to Xie's family to talk about marriage proposal, so the matter was delayed.
Besides Baishu, after Xie Huaiyu came back that night, he heard about Mrs. Wei's visit.
Xie Huaiyu thought it was just an ordinary communication between the family members, but when she was having dinner at night, after listening to Bai Shu's talk, she realized what Mrs. Wei was here for.
He immediately darkened his face, feeling extremely displeased.
Now that Bai Shu has a body, he naturally wants to be in a peaceful mood and everything goes well, but these people rush over to make trouble for others.
Fortunately, Bai Shu is simple and doesn't understand the deep meaning of Mrs. Wei's words, otherwise she will inevitably get angry because of it.
Xie Huaiyu didn't say anything more to Bai Shu, but on the second day, he found someone to spread the word in Beijing, saying that the eldest son of the Xie family had sworn to the sky that he would only marry one person in this life and would never take concubines.
As soon as the news spread, countless people came to ask him about it.
Even Zhong Li came to ask him if it was true.
Xie Huaiyu came to answer one by one: "This matter is indeed true, not a rumor. I always like peace and I don't want to have wives and concubines in groups and make noise, so it is good to marry only one."
His rhetoric, of course, led all the reasons for not taking concubines to himself, and made it impossible for people to say anything about Bai Shu.
After all, this is no longer taking concubines, but Xie Huaiyu's own intention, no one can attack Baishu Shan's jealousy.
Xie Huaiyu wanted to protect Bai Shu, but Bai Shu didn't know about it at all, and only focused on the construction of the Baiyu Villa in the suburbs of Beijing.
After Master Wei knew about this, he went back and said to Mrs. Wei: "I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug this brother surnamed Bai has taken to make this Xie Huaiyu so doted on. You just went to thank him that day. Home, Xie Huaiyu made such a move, obviously speaking to us."
Mrs. Wei recalled Bai Shu's high spirits that day, and she was very envious.If she could get a man to treat her like this, she would have no regrets in this life.
·
Wei Qiong learned that Marquis Wei and Madam Wei wanted him to marry Xie Ling, but that night, he had a dream.
He dreamed that he married Xie Ling according to the wishes of the eldest family of the Wei family.
On the day of the wedding, he was so overwhelmed that he went back to the bridal chamber in a vain manner.
In the bridal chamber, the red candle was in tears, Wei Qiong lifted the curtain of the bed, and saw Xie Ling naked, sitting on the bed coquettishly and timidly waiting for him.
Wei Qiong's lower abdomen became hot, and a surge of energy rushed to the top of his head, but he woke up immediately.
He only felt that somewhere was hot and humid, which really annoyed him.
In the middle of the night, Wei Qiong tossed and turned, and didn't sleep well all night.
Thinking that he might marry Xie Ling as his wife, he felt nervous and anxious at the same time.
Early the next morning, Wei Qiong left for the jewelry store after breakfast.
He went to the store, but found that Xie Ling was not there. The shopkeeper took out the jewelry box and handed it to him: "Master Ling was afraid that you would come, so he had already prepared this box. The correspondence of each jewelry has been written in it." The price, Mr. Wei, take it back."
Wei Qiong was extremely disappointed for a moment, but he had no excuse to stay, so he took the box and left.
Because he had something on his mind, he didn't check the contents of the box face to face, but took it home directly.
As a result, as soon as he entered the gate of Wei's house, he bumped into Wei Yu.
"Ouch!" Wei Yu cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
The box in Wei Qiong's hand also fell to the ground, and the jewelry was scattered all over the floor.
Wei Yu's eyes were extremely sharp, and he saw the note in the box at a glance.
He remembered that at the dinner table that day, Wei Qiong once said that he put jewelry in Xie's shop for inspection.Immediately when he raised his eyebrows, he subconsciously hid a pearl hairpin in his sleeve.
Wei Qiong knew that he was absent-minded just now, so he bumped into Wei Yu. He also felt guilty towards Wei Yu, and hurriedly helped him up.
Only then did Wei Yu flick the dust off his body and said, "Third brother, don't panic, I'm fine. Hurry up and put away the jewelry in this box, don't lose it."
Then Wei Qiong squatted down and put all the jewelry on the ground into the box.
He checked the surroundings, and there were no other jewelry left behind, so he closed the box with confidence and said, "As long as there is nothing wrong with Brother Yu, these dead things are naturally nothing wrong. If the elder brother bumped into you, I will pay you here." Not any more."
After hearing this, Wei Yu cheered and said, "Brother is serious."
After Wei Qiong left, he hurried back to the house and took out the pearl hairpin from his sleeve.
Wei Yu turned the pearl hairpin gently, and after looking at it for a long time, she got up and walked to the well in the backyard.
This well is an old well of the Wei family. For some reason, it has been abandoned for a long time and is no longer commonly used.Wei Yu loosened his fingers, a golden light flashed between his fingers, and the pearl hairpin fell straight into the well without even making a sound.
Wei Yu stood by the well for a while, his eyes moved slightly, and finally turned his head to leave, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Besides, Wei Qiong took the box back, handed the box to his sister Wei Ying and said: "This box contains the jewelry that I was asked to check before, and now I have all taken it back."
Wei Ying is a docile person, took the box and said: "Mother is getting angry now, if I take this box, I can make her happy and let her go home earlier."
Wei Qiong nodded, and personally sent Wei Ying to Jiang's house.
Wei Ying held the box, and when she saw Wei Jiangshi, she put her arms around her arm and said coquettishly, "Mother, don't be angry. You see, my brother went to the jewelry store this morning and took all the jewelry back. You Let's see, he always thinks of you, so you can go back with me."
Wei Jiangshi is not a hard-tempered one, but loves his children very much.
Earlier, Wei Qiong said that her meal really made her angry, but now that Wei Ying brought this jewelry, it also gave her a step.
Wei Jiangshi immediately went down the steps and said: "It's still Yinger who loves me. Your brother is heartless. He talked to others before he married Xie brother. I don't know what will happen in the future .”
She took the box and said: "Speaking of which, this jewelry was sent to Xie's jewelry store for inspection, and I don't know how it went."
She opened the jewelry box, and saw a list on the box.
When I opened it, I found that although the handwriting on the list was not very attractive, it was clearly listed. Every item, what material it was, and how much it was worth, made it clear at a glance.
Looking at the list, Wei Jiangshi guessed that the list was made by Xie Ling, but he had a better impression of him.
She looked through the list carefully, and found that the value of all the jewelry was equal to the value obtained from Madam Wei and Wei Ling, and it was considered to be in the price range in her mind.
After Wei Jiangshi put away the list, he took out the jewelry in the box to have a look.
Looking at it this way, he found a problem.She frowned, searched carefully again, and suddenly said in panic: "My pearl hairpin! Why is the pearl hairpin that I made love with your father missing!"
The author has something to say: With the subtlety of the women's family members in Beijing, they may die of anger when they encounter Baishu.
Although he is a brother, he has the straight ball thinking of a straight man, hahaha~
Bai Shu laughed twice and said: "I have nothing to do, I always have to do something. I just happen to be interested in it, so it's nothing."
Mrs. Wei and Wei Ling looked at each other, and couldn't help but secretly sighed at the same time.
It's no wonder that Xie Huaiyu, who has always had his eyes above the top, would fall in love with such a brother. This Bai brother can not only make money, but also kung fu, and is proficient in various miscellaneous studies.Although the handwriting is not good, but the analysis of things is orderly, it is really an all-rounder.

Although he said so in his mouth, he really didn't think so in his heart.
When he saw Xie Huaiyu that day, he really liked it, and that's why Wei Yu always harbored a hint of hostility toward Bai Shu.
He felt that his status was much more noble than Bai Shu's, but he could only see Bai Shu became the wife of Xie's family, and he was still so beautiful, so he felt very unhappy.

Hearing this, Xie Ling took a look at Bai Shu, and Bai Shu nodded to him and said, "You stay here and greet the guests well. I'll just accompany Mrs. Wei alone."

Even if there is a panacea, it can't cure the disease. It still needs to be solved from the root."
Bai Shu nodded when he heard the words and said: "You're right, heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. Wei Yu is still young, why is Mrs. Wei rushing to send him out? My Xie Ling is now in her twenties, thank you Huai Yu said to keep him for two more years, and Wei Yu is not yet eighteen, so it's okay to keep him and see him slowly. Mrs. Wei has to resolve her heart disease before she can recover."
Madam Wei: "..."
Mrs. Wei exerted a lot of strength, but Bai Shu went straight to the point every time.
She couldn't bear it any longer, and asked bluntly: "Brother Bai, have you ever thought about taking Mr. Xie as a concubine?"
As soon as Bai Shu heard it, he said directly: "Of course it's impossible. My husband, but I want to give him a concubine? Are you crazy?"
Mrs. Wei choked, thought for a while, and said: "But this is a decent family in Beijing. If a wife doesn't take a concubine for her husband, then she is unvirtuous and unfilial...will be chewed on. "
Bai Shu laughed loudly when he heard the words: "I don't live my life for others. They want to chew their tongues, so why can't they stop chewing because of your dogma?"
"Mrs. Wei, before I came to Beijing, there was a merchant named Huang in Fucheng. He had a family and a wife, but he was also greedy and lustful. He married many concubines and went back to torture. This Mr. Huang has many methods of torturing people, and he has killed many people. The young concubine was tortured to death, but his 'virtuous' wife not only did not dissuade him, but instead helped the evildoer for her own good name."
Bai Shu said and looked into the distance, thought of the dead Bai He, shook his head and said: "Later, finally, his family's concubine finally had someone who couldn't stand the torture, not asking for death by himself, but dying together with that old man Huang. Once Mr. Huang died, Mrs. Huang organized the funeral wantonly and spent a lot of money to bury Mr. Huang, which won praise again."
"I went back to Baitang Village a few days ago, and when I passed Fucheng, I heard about this Mrs. Huang again. Madam Wei, guess, how is this highly praised Mrs. Huang doing now?" Bai Shu asked suddenly.
Mrs. Wei didn't know, so she could only shake her head.
Bai Shu then said: "I thought that she would be able to live well with a child and manage the family business well. Who would have heard that this time, Mrs. Huang's child has been blinded by her ears and eyes since she was a child. My father is just like him. He was obsessed with beauty at a young age and contracted some strange disease. Mrs. Huang went to countless doctors but failed to cure her. She died in April of the following year. Mrs. Huang lost her child, so naturally the Huang family did not. Ken put his property in the hands of a woman with a foreign surname, so he kicked her out, and went around saying that she seduced the servants in the family. This Mrs. Huang returned to her natal family, and her natal family sent people away to save her reputation. temple."
Mrs. Wei was startled when she heard it, but felt a little empathetic.
She is also a person who cherishes her reputation very much, but fortunately, the Wei family has a good family style, and Wei Houye is also reliable. Although the Wei family has concubines, they are only two or three, which is better than other families in Beijing. of.
But she also had badly married sisters and girlfriends.Their husbands lingered in the flowers every day, but they pretended to be virtuous and married one after another, but the pain in their hearts was indescribable.
"This Mrs. Huang has been seeking fame all her life, and she is also a very famous woman in the central plains of Fucheng. But now she has nothing, not even a reputation." Bai Shu said coldly: "Fame is just a matter of what you hold in your hand. How many chips are there. With my Baishu ability, the chips in my hand are indispensable, and there is no need to worry about reputation."
When he first entered Beijing, everyone laughed at him as a country bumpkin, but now everyone respects him and treats him as a guest of honor.It is really ridiculous to use this kind of frame to limit yourself.
Mrs. Wei was stunned, she didn't expect Bai Shu to be so straightforward.
But she had to admit that what Bai Shu said was absolutely right.At her age and status, don't you want to turn around and curry favor with this brother from the countryside in front of you?
Although Bai Shu's words were straightforward, she did not disrespect her in any way, which made Mrs. Wei even more convinced.
Just listening to Bai Shu, Wei Yu's matter must not be completed, and he needs to go back and explain to Lord Wei Hou, and make more fuss from Wei Qiong.
"After hearing Brother Bai's words, I have finally untied the knot in my heart these days..." Mrs. Wei said with a smile.
Bai Shu didn't know how Mrs. Wei's knot was resolved so quickly, but she was happy to hear that.
The two walked around the garden for a while, and Madam Wei said she was thirsty, and they went back to the gazebo together.
Although Wei Yu was sitting in the pavilion, her eyes followed Bai Shu and Mrs. Wei all the time.
Seeing that Bai Shu and Mrs. Wei seemed to be having a happy conversation, he thought that his matter was probably settled.
Seeing the two came back together, he hurriedly got up to greet him, took Bai Shu's hand and said, "The weather is so hot, mother and brother Bai are finally back. This mung bean soup from Xie's family is also very refreshing. Come and taste."
Mrs. Wei coughed, her eyes flashed, she pulled Wei Yu to sit down, drank another cup of tea, and excused herself to leave.
As soon as Wei Ling saw Mrs. Wei's expression, she knew that this matter must not be done.
Wei Yu was still ignorant, until he got into the carriage, he pulled Mrs. Wei anxiously and asked, "Mother, did Brother Bai agree?"
Mrs. Wei shook her head and said: "No, don't think about the Xie family. In the future, if there is such a good family, my mother will take good care of you."
Seeing Wei Yu's obviously disappointed expression, Mrs. Wei said again: "In fact, it's not bad for those with smaller families. It's better to be a wife than to be a concubine."
Wei Yu nodded, forcing out a smile, but his heart was overwhelmed, and a trace of hatred was secretly born.
How can a small family have the style of this big family.Even if he became the main wife, so what, how can the gentleman be as good as Xie Huaiyu?
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Wei thought he could let go, so she didn't try to comfort him.Objecting to Wei Ling, she said: "I see that Xie Ling is pretty good, and he is a good match with your cousin Wei Qiong. Now that Yuer and Xie's marriage is hopeless, why don't you go to work as a third house and let Wei Qiong thank you for this?" Ling married..."
Hearing this, Wei Yu felt even more resentful.If I can't get married with the Xie family, then Xie Ling will be taken advantage of.
Xie Ling is just a brother, even if he is a descendant, why can he be the wife of his son of the Hou family?
However, what Wei Yu thought in his heart would not affect Mrs. Wei's decision.
When she got home, she went to find Lord Wei Hou and told him everything about today.
Although Marquis Wei felt that Bai Shu was really stingy, he didn't allow his husband to take concubines, which was not virtuous at all.
But after all, he can't manage other people's family affairs. Since this way doesn't work, he can only go another way.
So Wei Houye brought his younger brother Wei Han, analyzed the pros and cons with him, talked about the advantages of marrying Xie's family, and asked him to go to Xie Huaiyu to marry Xie Ling.
When Wei Han went back and talked to Wei Jiangshi, Wei Jiangshi burst into tears and shouted at the outside of the courtyard: "Your Wei family is really a bully, why do you want my son to marry a brother?" Son? It’s just too deceitful!”
She made a big commotion, Mrs. Wei was afraid that Zhang Yang's ruthlessness would spread out of the house, so she quickly suppressed the matter, and went back to appease her.
When Wei Qiong came back from the academy, he heard about this. He had mixed feelings in his heart, so he went to Wei Jiangshi and asked, "Why is mother like this? The marriage between the Wei family and the Xie family is a win-win thing, why not? Besides, this matter has not been written yet, if you make such a big fuss, if it gets out, won't it hurt Xie Ling's reputation?"
Wei Qiong has always been a filial person, but because of this incident, it was the first time that Wei Jiangshi violated Wei Jiangshi's wishes. Wei Jiangshi was angry and hated, and dared not make trouble anymore, but cried in the room without even having dinner. eat.
The next day, he packed up his things and went back to his mother's house, which made Wei Han, who was in the third room, sigh a lot for a day. Because of this matter, he didn't have the heart to go to Xie's family to talk about marriage proposal, so the matter was delayed.
Besides Baishu, after Xie Huaiyu came back that night, he heard about Mrs. Wei's visit.
Xie Huaiyu thought it was just an ordinary communication between the family members, but when she was having dinner at night, after listening to Bai Shu's talk, she realized what Mrs. Wei was here for.
He immediately darkened his face, feeling extremely displeased.
Now that Bai Shu has a body, he naturally wants to be in a peaceful mood and everything goes well, but these people rush over to make trouble for others.
Fortunately, Bai Shu is simple and doesn't understand the deep meaning of Mrs. Wei's words, otherwise she will inevitably get angry because of it.
Xie Huaiyu didn't say anything more to Bai Shu, but on the second day, he found someone to spread the word in Beijing, saying that the eldest son of the Xie family had sworn to the sky that he would only marry one person in this life and would never take concubines.
As soon as the news spread, countless people came to ask him about it.
Even Zhong Li came to ask him if it was true.
Xie Huaiyu came to answer one by one: "This matter is indeed true, not a rumor. I always like peace and I don't want to have wives and concubines in groups and make noise, so it is good to marry only one."
His rhetoric, of course, led all the reasons for not taking concubines to himself, and made it impossible for people to say anything about Bai Shu.
After all, this is no longer taking concubines, but Xie Huaiyu's own intention, no one can attack Baishu Shan's jealousy.
Xie Huaiyu wanted to protect Bai Shu, but Bai Shu didn't know about it at all, and only focused on the construction of the Baiyu Villa in the suburbs of Beijing.
After Master Wei knew about this, he went back and said to Mrs. Wei: "I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug this brother surnamed Bai has taken to make this Xie Huaiyu so doted on. You just went to thank him that day. Home, Xie Huaiyu made such a move, obviously speaking to us."
Mrs. Wei recalled Bai Shu's high spirits that day, and she was very envious.If she could get a man to treat her like this, she would have no regrets in this life.
·
Wei Qiong learned that Marquis Wei and Madam Wei wanted him to marry Xie Ling, but that night, he had a dream.
He dreamed that he married Xie Ling according to the wishes of the eldest family of the Wei family.
On the day of the wedding, he was so overwhelmed that he went back to the bridal chamber in a vain manner.
In the bridal chamber, the red candle was in tears, Wei Qiong lifted the curtain of the bed, and saw Xie Ling naked, sitting on the bed coquettishly and timidly waiting for him.
Wei Qiong's lower abdomen became hot, and a surge of energy rushed to the top of his head, but he woke up immediately.
He only felt that somewhere was hot and humid, which really annoyed him.
In the middle of the night, Wei Qiong tossed and turned, and didn't sleep well all night.
Thinking that he might marry Xie Ling as his wife, he felt nervous and anxious at the same time.
Early the next morning, Wei Qiong left for the jewelry store after breakfast.
He went to the store, but found that Xie Ling was not there. The shopkeeper took out the jewelry box and handed it to him: "Master Ling was afraid that you would come, so he had already prepared this box. The correspondence of each jewelry has been written in it." The price, Mr. Wei, take it back."
Wei Qiong was extremely disappointed for a moment, but he had no excuse to stay, so he took the box and left.
Because he had something on his mind, he didn't check the contents of the box face to face, but took it home directly.
As a result, as soon as he entered the gate of Wei's house, he bumped into Wei Yu.
"Ouch!" Wei Yu cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
The box in Wei Qiong's hand also fell to the ground, and the jewelry was scattered all over the floor.
Wei Yu's eyes were extremely sharp, and he saw the note in the box at a glance.
He remembered that at the dinner table that day, Wei Qiong once said that he put jewelry in Xie's shop for inspection.Immediately when he raised his eyebrows, he subconsciously hid a pearl hairpin in his sleeve.
Wei Qiong knew that he was absent-minded just now, so he bumped into Wei Yu. He also felt guilty towards Wei Yu, and hurriedly helped him up.
Only then did Wei Yu flick the dust off his body and said, "Third brother, don't panic, I'm fine. Hurry up and put away the jewelry in this box, don't lose it."
Then Wei Qiong squatted down and put all the jewelry on the ground into the box.
He checked the surroundings, and there were no other jewelry left behind, so he closed the box with confidence and said, "As long as there is nothing wrong with Brother Yu, these dead things are naturally nothing wrong. If the elder brother bumped into you, I will pay you here." Not any more."
After hearing this, Wei Yu cheered and said, "Brother is serious."
After Wei Qiong left, he hurried back to the house and took out the pearl hairpin from his sleeve.
Wei Yu turned the pearl hairpin gently, and after looking at it for a long time, she got up and walked to the well in the backyard.
This well is an old well of the Wei family. For some reason, it has been abandoned for a long time and is no longer commonly used.Wei Yu loosened his fingers, a golden light flashed between his fingers, and the pearl hairpin fell straight into the well without even making a sound.
Wei Yu stood by the well for a while, his eyes moved slightly, and finally turned his head to leave, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Besides, Wei Qiong took the box back, handed the box to his sister Wei Ying and said: "This box contains the jewelry that I was asked to check before, and now I have all taken it back."
Wei Ying is a docile person, took the box and said: "Mother is getting angry now, if I take this box, I can make her happy and let her go home earlier."
Wei Qiong nodded, and personally sent Wei Ying to Jiang's house.
Wei Ying held the box, and when she saw Wei Jiangshi, she put her arms around her arm and said coquettishly, "Mother, don't be angry. You see, my brother went to the jewelry store this morning and took all the jewelry back. You Let's see, he always thinks of you, so you can go back with me."
Wei Jiangshi is not a hard-tempered one, but loves his children very much.
Earlier, Wei Qiong said that her meal really made her angry, but now that Wei Ying brought this jewelry, it also gave her a step.
Wei Jiangshi immediately went down the steps and said: "It's still Yinger who loves me. Your brother is heartless. He talked to others before he married Xie brother. I don't know what will happen in the future .”
She took the box and said: "Speaking of which, this jewelry was sent to Xie's jewelry store for inspection, and I don't know how it went."
She opened the jewelry box, and saw a list on the box.
When I opened it, I found that although the handwriting on the list was not very attractive, it was clearly listed. Every item, what material it was, and how much it was worth, made it clear at a glance.
Looking at the list, Wei Jiangshi guessed that the list was made by Xie Ling, but he had a better impression of him.
She looked through the list carefully, and found that the value of all the jewelry was equal to the value obtained from Madam Wei and Wei Ling, and it was considered to be in the price range in her mind.
After Wei Jiangshi put away the list, he took out the jewelry in the box to have a look.
Looking at it this way, he found a problem.She frowned, searched carefully again, and suddenly said in panic: "My pearl hairpin! Why is the pearl hairpin that I made love with your father missing!"
The author has something to say: With the subtlety of the women's family members in Beijing, they may die of anger when they encounter Baishu.
Although he is a brother, he has the straight ball thinking of a straight man, hahaha~
