"These scattered pieces of jewelry are not suitable for eldest sister to wear. It's okay to keep them for rewards. No matter whether they are gold or silver, they are all solid."
Bai Cao looked helplessly at Bai Ling, who wished he could give her everything, and asked with a smile: "Does the second sister want to empty out the house? I received a lot of gifts during the New Year, do you still want the second sister to give them to me?"
"
"That's what I think." Bai Ling chuckled, "It's only this year. When the eldest sister gets married next year, in addition to keeping some of the things I receive as a favor, I should prepare them for my third sister and me.
"
"How shameless!" Baicao was amused.
"It's going to be a holiday soon at the college, right? I haven't seen him for half a year, and I don't know if the hill has grown taller. I specially left a section of the new clothes I made for him. When I went to your grandpa's house yesterday, they were still talking about Xu Sheng coming back.
I want to make something delicious, but I don’t know if Xiaoshan’s taste has changed.”
Mrs. Bai Liu was sitting on the heated kang doing needlework. She was so idle in the winter that she always wanted to find something to do.
"As soon as the younger brother came back, we all fell out of favor. My mother no longer cares about the eldest sister's dowry." Bai Ling said pretending to be amused.
"You can just be so talkative. All the good things in the warehouse have been picked out by your eldest sister, and everything that needs to be purchased has been purchased. You are also busy, so why do you need me, a mother-in-law, to prepare anything?" He glared.
Bai Ling glanced at Bai Liu and said with a smile.
The children have good feelings, and the mother is naturally happy.
But it’s normal to think about someone who is not around you.
The ladies joked, while Bai Sanshu giggled at the side, "It's such a good day like this."
Qian Mansion.
Mrs. Qian looked at the secret letter in her hand and sighed with disappointment again.
"May I be in the study, sir?" Mrs. Qian asked, putting the secret letter in her sleeve.
"Yes." The girl replied.
"Let the kitchen prepare some soup, and I'll go see the master." After Mrs. Qian gave the order, she went to bed to change clothes and make up.
Half an hour later, Mrs. Qian and the girl came to the door of the study and took the food box.
The rules of a wealthy family are strict, even if the head wife is favored, she cannot easily enter the study room, and she has to pass it by.
"Why are you here, madam?" Mr. Qian stepped forward to greet her, which was a bit surprising.
The two were childhood sweethearts. Although Mr. Qian had concubines, they were all in the past. So far, he only has daughters from a concubine, but no sons from a concubine, so he respects his legitimate wife more.
"Originally I didn't want the master to know, but after two years of personal investigation, I was still disappointed and felt a little uncomfortable." Mrs. Qian handed the secret letter in her sleeve to the master, then opened the food box and filled a bowl of soup.
Put it on the small table.
Master Qian read it once, lit the secret letter and threw it into the copper basin, making sure that it was all reduced to ashes, and then sat down next to the Qian family members.
"I'm asking you to worry about it. Whether you can find someone depends on God's will." Mr. Qian took the soup bowl, paused and then warned: "Don't let father know about this, so as not to make him feel uncomfortable."
"I understand, but I am not willing to accept it after all. This time is different from the past, obviously..." Mrs. Qian sighed and said apologetically: "It's my fault. I shouldn't bother the master with this matter that I haven't taken over.
The soup won't taste good when it's cold. I've been busy lately and have to take good care of my health."
"With you here, I feel at ease." Mr. Qian shook Mrs. Qian's hand, with strong affection in his eyes.
Mrs. Qian lowered her head and said nothing. After being married for more than 20 years, they still felt shy every time they were exposed to such looks.
Capital City, Third Prince's Mansion.
In the backyard, all the concubines who have no title live here separately, but those who are favored can live in a separate pavilion and have more servants to serve.
In the master bedroom, after the lunch break, the woman got up to help the third prince wash and change clothes, and then hurriedly washed herself.
"Master is so kind to me. It would be great if I could meet you earlier." The woman's voice was soft and charming, her eyes were as silky as silk, and her thin underwear highlighted her exquisite figure, giving her a pitiful look.
But she is not weak and gentle like a southern woman.
After the incident just now, the woman's body was mottled, and this gesture was tantamount to tempting her to do it again.
If people from Nanshan Village were here, they would be surprised that this woman looks so similar to Bai Xue, but they don't look like the same person.
"I know that I am good. If you please me more in the future, I will pity you more. It's a pity that I can't remember what it was like to be with you for the first time. Fortunately, you are a sensible person and are more tolerable than those skinny horses.
I can't stop wanting it." The third prince grabbed the woman's wrist, pulled her into his arms, lifted her chin, and looked at her face, which was by no means beautiful.
The woman immediately understood what the third prince meant. She leaned gently on his shoulder with her soft body, and turned her face away pretending to dodge, but her plump lips brushed against the third prince's ears and lips.
However, the third prince did not notice the twinkling look in the woman's eyes, which was a sign that something was being deceived.
"I was a little tired just now. I'll lie down with you for a while and ask you to get up later." The third prince yawned.
The woman responded meekly and helped the third prince to rest.
However, the third prince's voice came, but the woman was not sleepy. She looked sideways at the third prince's sleeping face, with a look of satisfaction on her charming face.
She must hold on tight to such a man. Whether she can turn around in this life depends on how much love and honor he can give her.
Thinking of how she risked her life in order to escape the sea of suffering, now she finally has hope, can she get a chance to take revenge, right?
"Bai Ling! I will definitely make you regret your mistake, and I will definitely watch you kneel at my feet begging for mercy, so that you can't survive!" The woman gritted her teeth, forgetting that there were people around her out of hatred, and actually spoke her mind.
But the third prince struggled a few times, and he was indeed very sleepy at this time, but he didn't hear the woman's words.
The New Year is approaching, and the three siblings, Bai Wei and her brother, are preparing to go home immediately after the school holidays.
Although Chu Wen didn't want to go home, he still came back. He happened to meet him on the way and went together.
Nowadays, the Bai family has a lot of money, and Bai Ling naturally explains that the family must be accompanied by a skilled nurse when traveling, and it is best to hire a bodyguard to escort them.
Privately, Bai Ling also asked people to follow him secretly in case there was an emergency on the road, and he didn't even have a place to ask for help.
"Mom only said one word to me, but she was very polite to Xiaoshan. This girl just doesn't have the status as my son." During the meal, Bai Wei complained.
"I have the same virtue as your second sister. Xiaoshan is now big. Why don't you ask me now? I originally planned for our mothers to stay in your house tonight and have a good chat. Now that I hear what you say, there is no need.
.”
Bai Liu said with a serious face on purpose.
Bai Wei's pretty face turned red. She wasn't really angry, she just wanted to have some sense of presence.
"If you don't apologize to mother yet, be careful as mother keeps in mind that she will lose part of the dowry for you in the future." Bai Ling bumped Bai Wei's arm and said.
"My eldest sister is getting married in the spring, and I don't have anyone I like. I don't know when I will need the dowry. It takes one year to prepare. Isn't it possible that you, second sister, are just thinking about the dowry because something good is about to happen?"
"Bai Wei asked jokingly.
Bai Ling turned away uncomfortably, but other insiders of the Bai family smiled.
"Did I guess right?" Bai Wei put down her chopsticks in shock and asked anxiously: "Who is it?"
"Let's talk after dinner. If the fuss continues, your second sister won't be able to eat anymore." Mrs. Bai Liu kindly helped her second daughter out of the situation. Finally, there was another one who was willing to marry, but it was too late for her to be happy.
What's more, they have known Shangguan Yu for many years, and the whole family has a good impression of him. The most important thing is that Bai Ling has agreed. (To be continued)
