Xiang'er sat upright and nodded, looking at Sangsang with a thoughtful look on her face. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Sang Sang was flustered, thinking about her recent behavior, but couldn't find anything wrong. She didn't know what Sister Xiang'er wanted to do all of a sudden.
Xiang'er looked at it for a long time and suddenly said: "Sang Sang, can you stand up and show me?"
Sangsang stood up in a hurry, not knowing what was going on.
Since Sang Sang moved into Baifu, she has devoted herself to the sour plum soup business and is self-sufficient. The business has been quite large for a few months. Not only has her life improved, but she can also provide support for her family.
Over the past few months, Xiao Nizi has not grown much in stature, but her figure has become much rounder.
Xiang'er looked at it and nodded: "It's consistent with what the alchemist said."
"Sister Xiang'er, what are you talking about?" Sangsang couldn't help but asked, "Is there something wrong with Sangsang? Why can't you understand a word of what Sister Xiang'er said?"
Xiang'er lowered her eyebrows and said with some embarrassment: "I met an alchemist a few days ago. After reading the Feng Shui of Bai Mansion, he said that a girl with plump buttocks is needed to continue the popularity of the Bai family. As you can see, I
My body is really thin, and the alchemist said that it is because I have insufficient physical energy, so I have not been able to get pregnant for a long time.
Now that the White House is getting bigger and bigger, many people outside are watching what happens inside the White House. The huge Bai family does not have a single child, and there are already many people talking outside. I am really worried about this matter."
Sang Sang blinked, but still didn't quite understand. After thinking about it, she said, "It should just let nature take its course. I heard that Sister Xiang'er is with Brother Bai day and night..."
Sangsang blushed and said nothing.
Xiang'er's face also had a touch of color, but there was not much aftertaste in her eyes: "Sang Sang, you have been in Bai Mansion for a long time. I have also heard Bai Rou say something about you and my husband. Anyone can
It can be seen that you have a lot of affection for my husband."
Sangsang interrupted in panic: "Sister Xiang'er, I...I don't..."
Xiang'er took Sang Sang's hand and comforted her: "Listen to what I have to say. This matter is related to the reputation of the Bai family, and it is also to continue the popularity of the Bai family. If you can..."
Both girls were smart, Xiang'er didn't make her words clear, but Sangsang finally came around.
For a moment, the two women sat in the same room and fell into silence.
Outside, Bai Rou, who was eavesdropping, was so surprised that she covered her mouth and walked away in shock.
In the room, the two women had their own thoughts.
Has Xiang'er ever thought about sharing her marriage with another woman?
But compared with the messages from the outside world, this small grievance of mine cannot be compared with the reputation of the Bai family. As long as the Bai family can have a future, anything can be discussed.
Xiang'er thought about it, instead of waiting for the important minister's daughter to marry into the family and conceive a child to take away her position, it would be better to let the well-informed Sang Sang buy a house for her husband. After all, Sang Sang is quiet, well-behaved, and not troublesome, which is obviously more reassuring.
.
Sang Sang didn't want to have a serious status in the White House as soon as possible, but she was too shy to fight for it, and she was afraid of offending her mistress.
Today, when the mistress takes the initiative to speak, she feels like she is getting what she wants. But the only drawback is that if she takes the inheritance of the family line as a condition, doesn’t she become a tool for reproduction?
Everything cannot be perfect. Both women have their own thoughts and regrets.
After a silent silence, Sangsang nodded first, her face instantly turning red to the base of her ears.
"You cannot tell your husband about this matter truthfully. With my husband's temperament, if he knew that I said this to you, he would definitely punish me." Xiang'er knew Bai Song well and told Sang Sang in advance, "This matter can only be done by you and me."
You two know that, when the time comes, I will give you the opportunity to get close to your husband."
Xiang'er said this shamelessly, but she always felt weird in her heart.
But the words were said, and it was settled as it was, and he left Sangsang's room after a while.
…
It was rare for Bai Song to read a book, but he didn't know that Xiang'er, whom he trusted most, had sold him out.
The heavy rain continued from afternoon to evening.
It was supposed to be a peaceful day, but it was disrupted by heavy rain.
The amount of rainfall this time was so heavy that it has exceeded the drainage limit of Mingchun Garden. Water accumulated in many places in Baifu, and the orchards have been flooded.
Until Bai Song discovered that the situation was serious, Shen Ye summoned all the guys from his property to help with drainage and temporarily enlarged the drainage channels of the manor.
The entire Mingchun Garden was in chaos and was busy all night.
However, the momentum of this rain is far more than that. Although dozens of people are working on drainage at the same time, the water accumulation in Baifu is getting worse and worse.
And this situation is by no means limited to Baifu, every household in Ji County has been damaged to varying degrees.
In the early morning of the next day, Bai Song saw that there was no improvement at home, and finally called everyone to stop. In the face of natural disasters, manpower was not worth mentioning.
Fortunately, there is a high-lying place at home, and the three-story attic where Qing'er lives did not get flooded. Bai Song asked everyone to take shelter in the garden near the attic until the rain stopped.
By the dusk of the next day, the heavy rain gradually subsided and everything seemed to be calm again.
After another night of drainage, the water in Bai Mansion was completely cleared.
After these two days, Bai Song felt like all his bones were falling apart. There were many disadvantages to having a house that was too big.
It cleared up on the third day. Dongxiang, who had gone out to Mang County to deliver a message, had not returned yet. I heard that there was a flood outside and the road was blocked. Maybe she was trapped in Mang County and could not come back for the time being.
I heard about the flood from the helper at home.
Bai Song is going to go out and see for himself what is going on?
When I took the first step out of the house, there was no one on the street. The water on the street reached the top of my feet. The water accumulation was even worse than at home.
At a glance, you can see all kinds of floating objects on the street, dead wood, weeds, broken steps, hemp shoes, and even the corpses of wild cats and dogs.
Bai Song frowned, looked back at Xiaocui who was at home and wanted to follow him out, and hurriedly told her to stay at home and not go out at will.
At this time, Bai Feng, who had been living in Bai Mansion for free for a period of time, jumped down from the roof and stepped into the water: "I'll go out with you."
Bai Song nodded, and there was a feeling in his heart. The impact of the seemingly innocuous heavy rain exceeded Bai Song's imagination.
The two of them set off together towards Xiangyang Street.
Xiangyang Street is the highest place in Jixian County. Once we got there, there was no more water, but it didn't bring Bai Song a sense of relaxation.
People and officers and soldiers were seen one after another, and almost every one of these people, officers and soldiers was dragging the corpses of the people in their hands. They were stacked one on top of another, and soon they formed a hill. The air was filled with a putrid smell.
Disgusting.
"This...is this caused by yesterday's heavy rain?" Bai Song was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
Bai Feng has been guarding the top of Bai Mansion, watching the movements around him. It rained heavily yesterday and he looked around the city alone, so he knows the situation.
"It rained heavily last night and the Weihe River surged, flooding the entire county. Countless people were washed away by the water in their dreams."
