After becoming a newlywed, Bai Ling found that her life had not changed much.
Although there is no blood relationship with Princess Han, this is nothing to Bai Ling whose soul has traveled through time.
After all, he and the Bai family were only blood relatives left behind by the original owner, and their relationship only got along later.
The rules of the Han Palace are strict, but they are for the servants. As long as they don't make mistakes within the rules, there will be few punishments.
The masters, on the other hand, did not abide by so many rules. Except for the tea ceremony on the first night, Princess Han exempted Bai Ling from having to spend time in the morning and dusk, allowing her to spend more time with Shangguan Yu and adapt to married life.
But when having dinner, the family still has to eat together, and the content of the chat is also light.
In a blink of an eye, the day came for the three-chao return trip. Bai Ling got up early in the morning and checked the return ceremony again and again.
Although Bai Sanshu and his wife are not here, Bai Cao will appear as the eldest sister of her parents, and there will be many people staring at the door ceremony this time.
"We're almost there. The horse doesn't have wings, so it can't fly to the Bai Mansion." Shangguan Yu said funnyly when Bai Ling opened the car curtain at every turn.
"When the eldest sister got married, my mother even cried because she couldn't come back. At that time, I felt that my mother couldn't bear to leave her, but now I understand that my eldest sister must also want to go back to her parents' home in the capital."
Bai Ling took out the hand held by Shangguan Yu and opened the car curtain again.
"You are a man, and you will not understand how I feel when you bring a daughter-in-law home. Obviously, parents are still parents, and siblings are still siblings. But after you actually get married, you realize that many things are different."
"I have a new family, and I have more than one family member. But the distance from my parents' family has also widened, and I can't just go back there when I'm tired like before."
"But in my heart, I am always concerned about everything at home, and no one in my family."
"You can go back at any time if you want, and I will take the time to go back with you often." Shangguan Yu comforted him, fearing that Bai Ling would cry again later.
"Well, we have agreed that when I have time, I will go back to see my parents often." Bai Ling looked at Shangguan Yu seriously.
"It's a deal." Shangguan Yu said and pecked Bai Ling's pink lips.
"We're here." Unexpectedly, Bai Ling's reaction was not changed because of Shangguan Yu's actions. Instead, he was excited because the carriage stopped.
Shangguan Yu, who was slightly frustrated, did not dare to show his dissatisfaction at this time, lest his wife would attack him.
He got off the carriage first and then helped Bai Ling get out of the carriage. Just as Shangguan Yu was about to speak, Bai Ling let go of his hand and ran towards the Baicao sisters quickly.
"Eldest sister, little sister, cousin, I'm back." Bai Ling jumped off the carriage and ran to the sisters happily.
Holding Bai Cao's arm and rubbing the heads of his two sisters, Bai Ling completely forgot about her newlywed husband.
Fortunately, Shangguan Yu doesn't care about this, after all, the other party is Bai Ling's joining, and she is a woman.
"Carry the door-returning ceremony inside, and you can go back to the palace first." Shangguan Yu told his servants, striding towards Bai Ling, but he stood side by side with Yang Fan and did not bother the sisters.
"Brother-in-law." Yang Fan still had the habitual cold face, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Don't think that because he is my brother-in-law, he will open the door for you in the future." Shangguan Yu couldn't pronounce the word brother-in-law, so he could only acknowledge his identity as brother-in-law in this way.
The two grew up together since childhood. Although there is a gap in status, they are the people who understand each other best and can trust each other.
It's just that before meeting the Bai sisters, they never thought that they would become Lian Qiao. This feeling...
"Cao'er will be unhappy if you look down on me like that." Yang Fan put his hands behind his back and walked into the gate of Bai Mansion first.
The brother-in-law is the elder. It is the first time that Yang Fan can show off in front of Shangguan Yu. He will not have such an opportunity in the future, so he will not miss it.
Seeing Yang Fan's childish behavior, Shangguan Yu shook his head and smiled silently.
Their experiences since childhood were different from those of ordinary children.
Shangguan Yu was tortured by illness all year round and used strength to make up for his physical weakness.
As for Yang Fan, because he had no male elders to protect him, he would not frown even if he was injured all over his body.
Privately, the two grew up together. Although they never showed their pain to each other, they both understood it.
The feeling of not being able to ask for help from others, but having to endure so much hardship myself, will be unforgettable in my life.
"Don't you have a gift for the second sister? Why don't you go and get it quickly?" After entering the yard, Baicao pushed the two sisters aside, then turned back to the two men and said, "You two should have something to talk about.
Right? Then go find a place by yourself, and I will have a conversation with my second sister."
Baicao straightforwardly chased people away, so Yang Fan naturally wouldn't refuse.
Shangguan Yu also understood that Baicao was worried about his sister's married life and wanted to care about her.
Even though he was reluctant to leave Bai Ling, Shangguan Yu could only leave with Yang Fan.
"Don't worry, eldest sister, I'm living a good life in Prince Han's Mansion. You know how Shangguan treats me. Princess Han is not a hard-to-maintain mother-in-law. She doesn't even have to do morning and evening routines, and she never puts on airs." Knowing Baicao
What are you worried about? Bai Ling lowered his voice and asked.
"Sister, I know, but I don't want to hear you say it. I feel so stupid." Bai Cao put a hand on his waist and said with a smile: "I had a dream last night. In the dream, you were still the little baby who wanted me to carry you. But
In reality, I am about to be a mother, and you are getting married. In a dozen years, we will become grandmothers, and I don’t know if we will still have time to chat like this."
Three black lines flashed across Bai Ling's forehead. She really didn't want to take on such a topic.
In more than ten years, she will still be less than forty.
"Now that we are grandmothers, we are not old women. We should have the romance that we should have, and our happiness will not be compromised because of our age." Sitting in the pavilion holding the white grass, Bai Ling asked with a smile: "Sister, my eldest brother-in-law has been doing this for a long time."
Don’t you feel happy being with you?”
Baicao's rounder face was slightly red, but he nodded honestly.
"Ling'er, thank you."
"I know that if it weren't for you, my brother-in-law would not give your brother-in-law a chance to rest for such a long time. Maybe I am selfish, but I really hope that he can stay with me, at least until the child is born before leaving."
In front of Bai Ling, Baicao was never good at lying.
"This is natural. Women have suffered a lot during childbirth. A man is the father of the child. He can become a father without experiencing the hardship of ten-month pregnancy. What's wrong with the child taking his last name and staying with him for a few months?
?" While taking Baicao's pulse, Bai Ling did not forget to instill some modern thoughts into her.
In this era where men are superior to women, women not only cannot rely too much on men from pregnancy to childbirth, but also have to forcefully accept concubines for men to show their generosity.
Bai Ling would naturally not accept such bullshit rules.
If Bai Ling hadn't often chatted with the sisters, I'm afraid that after Baicao became pregnant, Yang Fan would have arranged for him to have a concubine when he returned to Beijing.
"Ling'er, how are you and your brother-in-law doing?" Baicao seemed to be struggling for a long time before asking this question.
Bai Ling's smile froze. She was still unable to accept that the ancients always asked this question in private.
"It's pretty good." Bai Ling said perfunctorily, then changed the subject and said, "Sister, have you been a little lethargic recently? And your appetite has increased?"
"Yes." Bai Cao replied and asked nervously: "Isn't it bad for the child?"
Bai Ling silently apologized. She just wanted to change the subject, not threaten Bai Cao. She was busy spreading knowledge about late pregnancy to her so that Bai Cao would pay more attention. (To be continued)
