Chapter 7: pity
Shen Yuzhi listened blankly to Bai Chu's encouragement to him, then turned and left happily, shaking her head and laughing, she can actively help her to get back with other women, it seems that she has no intention of him, she is afraid of him. He didn't consider him a husband at all.
Early the next morning, Shen Yuzhi and Bai Chu walked to Bai's house with a bunch of red-stringed return ceremony. The position of the eldest princess is placed there. After all, Bai Chu is still the only daughter-in-law under the eldest princess's knees. If she is too low-key, she will easily fall into the limelight.
Even though it was three or four days later than originally planned, the red lanterns in front of the Bai Mansion gate were still bright red, spreading joyfully. The leading old woman came and happily took Shen Yuzhi and Bai Chu in: "Second Miss and Uncle are finally here, the old lady is very happy for this happy event, she got up early and said she will be waiting for you to come. !"
The old lady who spoke was full of smiles, and her attitude was just right. Bai Chu collected it from her memory. This was her grandmother, the one who served by the old lady's side.
As for the long face at the back, the smile was a bit stiff no matter how you looked at it, and the designation was her mother, the person who served in front of Mrs. Zhang.
Bai Chu's eyes flickered slightly, and he pursed his lips and said a little shyly: "Let Mammy Li wait for a long time."
In the White House, everyone knew that Second Miss was a quiet and introverted personality. Mammy Li was a little rare just now. It was obviously the same appearance. The spirit of the second young lady has changed. , Seeing her shy look with lowered eyes again, most of the surprise and shock in her heart disappeared.
Also, how can being a girl and being a wife be the same.
The smile on Li Ma's face was even greater: "Second miss, what is this, hurry up, it's windy outside, the slaves will take you and the uncle to the old lady first, and then drink the hot tea to relieve the chill. "
The warm reception of Shen Yuzhi from the top and bottom of the Bai Mansion is not surprising. Bai Chu and the original owner have received this treatment for the first time. While agreeing with Li Ma's words, he slowly took a few steps to the side, taking advantage of Li Ma's words. When the mama told her how her elders remembered her after she got married, she whispered to Shen Yuzhi, "Believe it or not, 90% of what she said is false."
Shen Yu had never played such a game of whispering before, it was indecent in front of the serious rules, his ears were slightly red, his eyes wandered and looked around a few times, and finally he couldn't hold back his curiosity. Following her movements, she whispered and quickly spit out, "How do you know?"
Do not believe? Bai Chudai raised her eyebrows slightly, and turned to Li Mammy and said softly: "By the way, Mammy, before I got married, I sewed two cloaks for my grandmother and mother overnight with the wedding dress. , grandmother is not heat-resistant, you must remind her more, there is nothing wrong with the charcoal fire in the house, and when you go out, you must wear more cloaks."
Mammy Li was stunned for a moment and wondered why the second young lady was much smarter than before, regardless of her appearance and bearing. Is it true that the eldest princess is so good at tuning/teaching people?
She smiled warmly: "Second miss is really filial, no wonder the old lady always says that you are the most meticulous and thoughtful of her children and grandchildren when she misses you, don't worry, your cloak, the old lady has a few slaves. Keep it, let me take it out from time to time and take a look, no one is willing to let it touch it.”
Bai Chuman nodded with relief and emotion, then turned his head and whispered to Shen Yuzhi: "Actually, I don't know any female workers at all."
The original owner naturally knew it, but he couldn't learn much exquisite craftsmanship. With Bai Chu, a layman, wouldn't it be completely impossible.
The gentleness on Shen Yuzhi's face faded slightly, and he has a literate and lofty spirit in his bones, coupled with a simple personality that he is used to, he has always been more stubborn, and listening to her, she joked about this matter as if to laugh at herself. Speaking out, how many of them can guess that the days in the Bai Mansion in the past were not easy.
A mere mama dares to deliberately perfunctory in front of her, but it's not the following crime.
Thinking of this, his expression became even colder, and he said lightly: "Be quiet, you just lead the way ahead."
Mammy Li's momentum dropped instantly, and her overly exposed smile also restrained a lot, and she bowed respectfully: "Second Miss, Second Uncle, this way please."
Seeing this, Bai Chu secretly gave Shen Yuzhi a look: Look at them, whether they are attentive or happy, they are all here for you.
Shen Yuzhi smiled helplessly, and then looked at Mama Li with a bit of annoyance in her eyes. The noble and youthful young man couldn't understand how others were flattering and flattering because of his status. Euphemistically flattering.
Just like this, I walked to the main hall of Cihe where the old lady lived. The Bai family was there, and the old lady was sitting on the top. Bai Chuhua's father, Bai Zheng, and the eldest lady, Zhang, were sitting on the right and left on the high hall.
Bai Chu quickly raised his eyes and glanced over, but he didn't see Bai Yinhua present.
Also, she is still an unmarried girl, not suitable for such an occasion.
"Chu'er, come to grandma's place." Old Madam Bai is a shrewd little old lady just by looking at her face. In Bai Chuhua's more than ten years of memory, she has never seen her smile so brightly to herself, "Well, Married, the whole person looks different, look, what a handsome child."
The second half of the sentence was addressed to Mrs. Zhang next to him.
Compared with the pure happiness of the old lady, Zhang's mood is a little more complicated, but she still brings out a gentle and loving smile, and looks at Bai Chu softly: "Yes, after Chu Chu leaves the cabinet, he is an adult, but he can no longer As before, it comes from temperament. Fortunately, Yuzhi is a gentle and polite temperament, but I still have to trouble you to be more tolerant. "
Shen Yuzhi nodded: "Mother-in-law, don't worry." As soon as the words came out, a secret pain appeared in his heart again. He had thought about many scenarios of calling Mrs. Zhang his mother-in-law before, but he had never thought of the current situation. possible.
Time goes by, things are impermanent.
After chatting a few words at random, Bai Chu just lowered his head and pretended to be shy when he praised and cared about the old lady and Mrs. Zhang, and occasionally said "um", "yes", "all taught by grandmother/mother"... On the other hand, Shen Yuzhi, who had seen how daring she was in the Shen family, couldn't help but look over curiously, one glance after another, falling in the eyes of onlookers, it was proof that the uncle especially liked the second young lady, and he was reluctant to part with a single glance. , it can be seen that he cares more.
The maids who didn't know the inside information thought to themselves: No wonder the eldest young lady and the third young master Shen were having a good time in the past, but why did they suddenly marry the second young lady... It turned out that they had a deep-rooted relationship early on, but they were too good at covering it up. Using the eldest lady as a shield, no one noticed.
I can't see it, Young Master Shen is so straightforward, but he is so tactful and reserved towards his sweetheart, which is so heartwarming.
The party involved had no idea how powerful the brain-enhancing abilities of the people around him were. After Bai Zheng and Shen Yuzhi had finished explaining a few words at will, Bai Chu quietly winked at him, and said ok according to the two of them on the carriage. Yes, Shen Yuzhi offered to go to Hanli Garden where Bai Chu used to live to have a look.
As the elders, the young couple naturally likes to hear about them, so the old lady agreed and sent her personal maid to guide the two, but Bai Chu smiled and rejected: "After all, I have lived here for more than ten years. I don’t know the road inside yet? I’ll just take my husband there, and I don’t need to bother grandma’s people.”
The old lady smiled cheerfully: "You girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have become narrow."
Bai Chuying's eyes full of smiles turned to Mrs. Zhang: "Daughter will come back as soon as she goes, and I have to work hard for my mother to help me accompany my grandmother for a while."
Zhang's heart was also a little worried. Hanliyuan was too close to Fangfeiyuan, where her daughter lived, and she was afraid that the two sides would collide and cause trouble. She originally wanted to take the initiative to propose to lead the two juniors over, but Bai Chuxian was arrested by Bai Chuxian. I got stuck with words and didn't know what to say.
Before she could come up with a solution, the old lady kindly agreed: "With your mother here, you can take Yuzhi to play with confidence, Chu Chu."
So, the two finally escaped.
Shen Yuzhi didn't know that you came to me and went around in circles. As soon as he went out, Bai Chu didn't say a word, so he walked straight to the direction of Hanliyuan, inexplicably resisted in his heart: "Wait, you Do you really want to go back to Hanli Garden?"
Although he had never been to the back house of Bai Mansion, he knew that Bai Yinhua and Bai Chuhua lived in the courtyard adjacent to each other in the boudoir.
"Yeah," Bai Chu said lazily, turning his head to look at him calmly, "What? Are you afraid?"
Shen Yu shook her head subconsciously, and she couldn't explain the reason for the awkwardness in her heart: "I just think... a little strange."
"What's so strange, you're just close to the country, don't think too much." Bai Chu softened his tone and said with a smile, "Do you still remember what I said to you yesterday? , the rest is up to destiny."
Having said that, it is impossible for Bai Chu to take the man to the eldest sister's boudoir in the light of day.
She followed the route in her memory and walked unimpeded to the Hanli Garden where the original owner lived before leaving the pavilion.
Seeing the whole picture, Shen Yuzhi's brows furrowed again. Hanli Garden is an ordinary small courtyard. Strictly speaking, it is enough for the original owner to live alone, especially when she is not married, Zhang's also Well, Bai Yinhua is also good. She often brings her some delicate ornaments or clothes and jewelry. Naturally, it cannot be said that it is precious and precious, but it is also pleasing to the eye on the surface.
Of course, after Bai Chuhua got married, these face-saving feelings are not necessary. At this moment, Hanliyuan is quiet and ordinary. It is isolated and scattered, but there is always an indescribable loneliness, which is in stark contrast to the enthusiasm and hustle and bustle in the Cihetang just now.
Shen Yuzhi has always been the best in everything since he was a child, how could Hanliyuan now catch his eye, and he felt more and more that the Bai family deliberately neglected Bai Chuhua.
"Did you live here before?"
Hearing this, Bai Chu didn't react for a moment. He knew what he meant when he saw the faint sympathy in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. Thanks to Zhang's face, although the original owner lived a little aggrieved, But it is not enough to say how much you suffer and how much you suffer.
"It's quiet and clean here, warm in winter and cool in summer. In fact, it's quite comfortable to live in." Bai Chu rarely answered honestly, but Shen Yuzhi didn't believe it. He looked at her with more pity, but he didn't think it was Zhang. Shi deliberately embarrassed her, and people’s hearts are inherently elusive. Bai Chuhua used to be introverted and unwilling, but if the superiors ignored her for a while, the inferiors would be able to gain an inch and become unscrupulous.
No wonder she didn't ask for anything from him, she just looked forward to being able to live peacefully in the Shen family.
