Chapter 29 Lai Bizhi's mother and daughter move out of the White House
The days passed by the fingertips in a hurry, but in less than a month, the house that Bai Yanqing bought for Bai Furong and her daughter had been renovated and tidied up.
After choosing an auspicious day, Bai Furong and her daughter moved there with simple luggage.
In the evening, Bai Furong even cooked herself, cooking a table full of meals, and invited Bai Yanqing, her daughter, and the Ren family to join them for dinner.
Firstly, it was to celebrate the joy of moving into a new house, and secondly, it was also to express gratitude to Bai Jingxuan and his daughter for their help.
"I haven't cooked for a long time, and I don't know if the food I cook is to your liking. Yan Qing, please don't dislike it!"
Bai Furong was actually a little reserved. Her niece had helped her so much, but she had allowed her daughter to bully her before. She felt a little guilty and grateful in her heart, but for a moment, she didn't know how to speak.
If she talks about trying to please Bai Yanqing, Bai Furong feels that she has lost her status as an elder. If she talks to Bai Yanqing like an elder, Bai Furong feels guilty, so she seems a little at a loss.
"What are you talking about, aunt? It's too late for Yan Qing to be happy!"
It was not that Bai Yanqing didn't notice Bai Furong's fuss, and secretly laughed a little. Bai Furong was so old, and sometimes she behaved like a little daughter! Bai Yanqing responded politely, and in such a scene, she would not
That's right.
"Seeing that it is almost the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and I can't pick any good days, I discussed with my father and asked my aunt and cousin to move here in a hurry at the end of the sixth lunar month! I hope my aunt and cousin don't look weird.
You should be good at making decisions!"
What Bai Yanqing said is correct. The seventh month of the lunar calendar is commonly known as the ghost month. It is known among the people that this month is unknown. Ordinary families generally do not choose to move and settle in this month.
"My cousin, you're too worried. It's too late for my mother and I to thank you! Now, we, mother and daughter, have settled down in a serious family, thanks to my uncle and cousin!"
Lai Bizhi's gratitude was beyond words. She blushed, raised her wine glass, bent over, and toasted Bai Jingxuan and Bai Yanqing.
"I am not in good health, so I drink tea instead of wine to pay tribute to my cousin!"
Bai Yanqing didn't show any pretense, she just asked Cai Xing to change the wine cup for her and use tea instead of wine. She didn't understand the rules. She was weak and everyone knew it, so no one made it difficult for her.
Bai Jingxuan was also very happy. Seeing how harmoniously his sister and his daughter were getting along now, he felt very happy in his heart, so he couldn't help but drink a few more drinks.
On the other hand, Mrs. Ren, who was standing aside, felt a little unhappy when she saw that she had been left out. While she was cursing her daughter for being unfilial, she didn't know how to respect her mother first! At the same time, she was also scolding Lai Bizhi, her granddaughter, for not knowing etiquette and disrespecting her elders.
, actually ignored her as a grandmother, and went to fawn over her most hated granddaughter Bai Yanqing!
As everyone knows, the fact that Ren is sitting on the bench now is all her own fault. On the one hand, she wants to control her granddaughter's life, and on the other hand, she wants to use this to attack her direct granddaughter. Not to mention that her daughter does not agree, as far as she is concerned
As the prime minister’s son, I don’t agree either!
Bai Furong has always been a person with a low temper, and has always regarded fame and wealth as nothing. Bai Furong has never suffered the hardships of life since she was a child, and naturally she has been able to get by. She never wants her daughter to cling to any power or height.
of branches.
It can be said that she is a woman without great ambitions. Later, she could not stand the laziness of the Lai family and returned to the White House. Her two daughters were personally trained by her mother. The purpose of this training was of course to use them
Just to gain Ren’s own interests!
Bai Furong knew all this very well! However, she had been accustomed to hearing what Ren said since she was a child. She did not dare to refute, nor had the ability to refute, so she had to let it go.
Now, Bai Furong has a small family of her own and her daughter's, away from the persecution of the Lai family and out of her mother's control. She is really happy!
Because of Ren's domineering nature, Bai Furong is cowardly. It is also because of Ren's selfishness and snobbishness that Bai Jingxuan is not bright enough, not transparent enough, and a little confused when dealing with housework, because he is always confused.
It was subconsciously thinking about his mother, thereby neglecting the people around him and his closest relatives!
Now, the clouds and mist are cleared to see the blue sky, and the cowardly Bai Furong has her own sky. The indecisive Bai Jingxuan has also seen the reality clearly and recognized the importance of blood and family ties.
"My aunt's craftsmanship is so good. If Yan Qing gets greedy in the future, she will definitely sneak over here to get some food."
After dinner, Bai Yanqing supported the half-drunk Bai Jingxuan, talking to Bai Furong, and wanted to go back to Bai Mansion.
"After all, it's Yan Qing who knows how to coax people. If she doesn't dislike it, she will eat it every day, and my aunt will be happy."
The shops in her left and right hands were all taken care of by her daughter. Bai Furong was also happy to be free. Without the rules and regulations of the Bai Mansion, she would also have a very leisurely life in the future. Someone came to eat with her to relieve her boredom. Yu Bai
For hibiscus, it is also excellent.
Bai Yanqing was not polite, smiled and nodded, responding repeatedly.
However, they all know that Bai Yanqing's days in Bai Mansion are numbered, so how can he really come to Bai Furong's small courtyard to eat every day as they said!
Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing supported the half-drunk Bai Jingxuan on the left and the right. No one noticed that Ren, who was supported by Aunt Shen behind her, had an old face full of resentment!
"It will be the seventh month of the lunar calendar soon. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's time for you to enter the palace!"
Father and daughter Bai Jingxuan and Bai Yanqing did not go back through the small courtyard gate connected to Bai Mansion. Instead, they left Bai Furong's house and returned through the main road.
The night wind blew away half of Bai Jingxuan's alcohol smell. He seemed to be talking to himself or to Bai Yanqing.
Bai Yanqing was stunned. She could hear a hint of reluctance and melancholy in Bai Jingxuan's words. For a moment, she didn't know how to reply.
It was originally Bai Jingxuan's choice to let Bai Yanqing enter the palace. Although the emperor had mentioned this matter to Bai Jingxuan in private at that time, if Bai Jingxuan wanted to refuse, he could have protested tactfully at the beginning. For example, Bai Yanqing had agreed to marry her, or Bai Yanqing had agreed to marry him.
She is weak and cannot support such a big responsibility as a princess. There is no reason for these little things.
However, Bai Jingxuan chose to acquiesce and obey the emperor's wishes.
Others don't know the reason, but he himself knows that he does not want his daughter to fight for glory or wealth for him. Rather, he knows that his daughter is safest only under the eyes of the emperor.
!Under his nose, the emperor did not dare to touch Bai Yanqing in the slightest.
After all, the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court are watching! Besides, the most dangerous place is also the safest.
I'm afraid only he understands Bai Jingxuan's painstaking efforts.
Bai Yanqing naturally did not know these thoughts of Bai Jingxuan. When she was first taken back to the Bai Mansion, she thought that Bai Jingxuan gave up her daughter for the sake of her future. But now it seems that Bai Yanqing feels that she has guessed wrong.
.
After all, Bai Yanqing intuitively felt that the reluctance shown by her father after being drunk at this moment did not seem to be fake.
"Cousin, please stay a moment."
Just when Bai Yanqing was secretly wondering what her father meant, Lai Bizhi suddenly ran out.
I saw Lai Bizhi taking out a wooden box and opening it. It was full of heavy silver.
"Cousin, what does this... mean?"
Bai Yanqing was stunned. What does this mean when you give money after dinner?
"Mom was thinking about it. After all these years of living and eating in the White Mansion, my uncle and cousin contributed money and effort to buy us a new house, so... it's a way to express our feelings."
Lai Bizhi always talks little. She used to be a bit gloomy, but now she seems to have opened her heart, and her face is a little more rosy and happy. When talking to Bai Jingxuan, she is no longer submissive and confident.
Seeing this, Bai Yanqing waved her hands repeatedly, then looked at Bai Jingxuan, waiting for her father to speak.
"Fu Rong is my sister and the daughter of Bai Mansion. I will not lose her! Just keep this money. In the future, you and your daughter will have plenty of money to use!"
Bai Jingxuan waved his hand but did not take the box of silver.
Lai Bizhi held up the wooden box with some embarrassment for a moment. It was neither a gift nor a gift.
It was Bai Yanqing who understood her daughter's family's thoughts best, and she was the first to break the embarrassment.
"Cousin, please don't get separated from us! Keep these for now, think of them as your father's dowry for your future marriage!"
Bai Yanqing stepped forward, closed the wooden box, and pushed it back into Lai Bizhi's arms.
Bai Yanqing's move not only relieved Lai Bizhi's embarrassment, but also made Bai Jingxuan a favor. He is truly a thoughtful and thoughtful villain!
When Lai Bizhi saw this, she no longer refused, took back the wooden box, and watched Bai Yanqing and his daughter drift away.
"My father once had his eye pecked by an eagle!"
After returning to Bai Mansion, Bai Jingxuan took a deep look at Bai Yanqing, then said a meaningful word before returning to his yard.
What Bai Yanqing did in the past few months after returning home really opened Bai Jingxuan's eyes.
"Miss...Master..."
After all, Cai Xing had been following Bai Yanqing for many years. She had been influenced by her ears and eyes, and had some spiritual energy. She seemed to understand Bai Jingxuan's sudden words.
Bai Yanqing smiled and waved her hand towards Cai Xing, indicating that Cai Xing didn't need to worry about it. What Bai Yanqing wanted was Bai Jingxuan's recognition.
Bai Yanqing has never intentionally hidden her edge in front of her father.
Bai Yanqing wants to gain Bai Jingxuan's approval, for no other reason than to calm Bai Jingxuan's heart and let him know that she can support her own future. Secondly, she also wants Bai Jingxuan to know that even if his daughter
She grew up outside the mansion and did not receive the guidance of the White House from an early age. She can still live a good life, understand etiquette, know etiquette, have brains and strategies, and she can be no worse than any other noble lady!
"Let's go back!"
Bai Yanqing took Cai Xing's hand, held her and walked back.
At that time, Caixing was startled as if he suddenly remembered something, and then he spoke.
"Miss, it seems...the second lady of the Lai family has not sent any news back for a long time!"
The second young lady of the Lai family?
Bai Yanqing was stunned for a while before realizing that Caixing was talking about Lai Feiyan.
Indeed, since the day Lai Feiyan returned to Jingzhou with the letter of separation, they have not received any news about Lai Feiyan.
It has been more than a month now. It stands to reason that Lai Feiyan should have returned to the Lai family long ago. There should have been a reply to the Bai Mansion from the Lai family. But after Lai Feiyan left, there was no news, which is a bit strange.
Weird!
Could it be that something happened to the Lai family? Or... the Lai family didn't receive the divorce letter?
