"Reputation?! Bastard?!" Aunt Ke started crying when she heard this, "What's the use of these things?! I asked you to marry well. Did you look at what you picked?!"
Bai Mingshu wanted to explain, "I can only marry high if my reputation is there. If my reputation is ruined, I can only marry down. Besides... the threshold of the Bai family is already extremely high compared to that of the Governor."
There are only three governors in the Zhou Kingdom who hold military power. They are highly valued by the emperor. This is more important than any official position, and rank has long lost its role in front of it!
"No matter how good the governor's family is, you can only marry a bastard! But what's the use of a bastard!" Aunt Ke said urgently, her hoarse voice hurting. Aunt Ke looked at the dumbfounded Bai Mingshu with hatred. "If you don't understand, I say just follow it!"
Bai Mingshu nodded under Aunt Ke's look, and then heard Aunt Ke say: "Go and climb into General Chizhong's bed now! As long as..."
Bai Mingshu directly covered Aunt Ke's mouth. Chinese website
When she entered the Baiguo courtyard, she saw Mo Leyi who was also in the water. Later, she inquired about it and found out that she was pulled out of General Chizhong's courtyard in disheveled clothes. Isn't this obvious enough?
"Auntie, please don't say such things." As soon as Bai Mingshu said this, she was slapped in the face by Aunt Ke. Bai Mingshu was hit and turned her head away, and she was stunned on the spot with a buzzing in her ears. .
Aunt Ke took several breaths before continuing angrily: "What are you afraid of as long as you climb into his bed?! A third-grade official position! It's no more useful than a bastard! You care about reputation, what's the use of that thing?! You guys Nian Fan, if you had listened to me, you would have already flown onto a branch and turned into a phoenix! How could you possibly have anything to do with that princess!"
Aunt Ke glared at Bai Mingshu fiercely, "You are also a young lady of the Bai family after all! Does Pang Yang dare to deny it?! If you had even a little bit of Mo Leyi's courage, how could you still be suppressed by the princess now? Hit?!"
Bai Mingshu's face hurt from being slapped before, but no matter how painful it was, it couldn't compare to Aunt Ke's words.
"...Auntie asked me to climb on the bed, but have you seen what happened to Mo Leyi now?" Bai Mingshu looked at Auntie Ke with red eyes, "Now that Mo Leyi is still in the Ginkgo Courtyard and has not come out, Auntie really doesn't care. Know?!"
"There is always an exception! How will you know if you don't try it!" Aunt Ke turned a blind eye to the pain and grievance in Bai Mingshu's eyes, and turned a blind eye to the ferocity on Bai Mingshu's neck. "As long as you get into his bed, I will naturally make trouble. Everyone knows that by then you won’t be able to marry as you wish?!”
Bai Mingshu suppressed her voice and asked, "What if she is like Mo Leyi? What about a daughter who has lost her reputation?!"
The "daughter" in Bai Mingshu's words asked Aunt Ke, but Aunt Ke replied: "It's just reputation! If you marry well in the future, or if you marry more than ten years later, these people will naturally forget about it! You still have to fawn over What about you! My aunt will naturally be happy for you when the time comes!"
Bai Mingshu didn't speak for a while, her eyes were miserable.
Her biological mother was the best at making choices. The matron of the house didn't like her aunt to be called aunt in private, so she always taught her to call her aunt.
Knowing that her identity as Miss Bai could be exploited, she always asked her to pay attention to the families of men with high family backgrounds.
Now that I see Pang Yang's status, I no longer care about her daughter...
——Can she still not understand why Aunt Ke was punished by Ginkgo?
In these words, it was already clear.
"What kind of look are you looking at?!" Aunt Ke frowned and looked at Bai Mingshu, but when she saw Bai Mingshu stood up and bowed politely, "Auntie, have a good rest."
Aunt Ke was stunned and saw Bai Mingshu walking out.
Although Bai Mingshu kept calling her aunt, her tone was always good, and it sounded no different from her mother. But the sound just now sounded like the eldest son and second son calling her.
Aunt Ke looked at Bai Mingshu's back with uncertainty and shouted: "Miss? Third Miss?"
After Bai Guo came to the second room, she stopped letting people around Bai Mingshu call her third lady, also to please the old lady.
Bai Mingshu paused for a moment, then turned back
She looked at Aunt Ke, who was half leaning on the bed, and said in a suppressed voice, "I will ask my father and mother to remember Ming Xia in her name, and to be taught by my legitimate daughter in the future. If Auntie is with me, don't go there anymore." I’ve brought Mingxia back.”
Aunt Ke suddenly became angry, "Are you embarrassed of me?! I just said a few words to you, and now you are so impatient?!"
The maid behind Bai Mingshu raised her head and looked at Bai Mingshu. She saw that her eyes were clearer than ever.
"It's okay for my aunt not to take reputation as one thing, and it's okay not to take my reputation as one thing in exchange for glory and wealth, but Mingxia can't be implicated by us. She has to have a reputation, she has to know etiquette, justice and shame, and she has to get the favor of her husband. Respect, love and care, she must be valued and liked by her husband's family..."
The little maid thought Bai Mingshu would cry, but all she saw was the longing and yearning in her eyes. But it only lasted for a while. When the words fell, Bai Mingshu's eyes no longer had such expectation. She said: "If my aunt still wants me to be obedient, don't ruin Ming Xia's great future... In the future, if she can really marry well, you can live a better life in the house."
Aunt Ke's eyes widened in disbelief, "Do you think it's not a good thing for her to follow me?! Are you blaming me for bringing you back?!"
Bai Mingshu sighed lowly, "When have I ever complained about my aunt? In this house, apart from dad, only you and I are related by blood. When have I not listened to my aunt in so many years? Compared with other people, my aunt and I are more Being close is naturally...for my own good, and I will still listen to my aunt in the future."
The little maid kept looking at Bai Mingshu quietly during this conversation. She knew that Bai Mingshu was telling the truth but not the truth.
"Auntie, rest for a while. I'll ask my mother to ask an imperial doctor to come and take a look at my auntie." Bai Mingshu didn't look at Auntie Ke when she said this. Auntie Ke couldn't see the look in Bai Mingshu's eyes clearly, but she heard The tone and meaning of these words were no different from usual, so when he breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded and said, "Okay."
After a pause, he added, "Thank you, Miss Third."
Bai Mingshu didn't answer and walked out of the room directly.
The little maid bit her lip and followed.
"I will still listen to my aunt in the future." The second half of this sentence should be: It's enough for my aunt to have me, don't involve Ming Xia Zai.
The little maid carefully supported Bai Mingshu as she walked on the road. With her head hanging down, she saw the moment when crystal tears fell.
The little maid felt her eyes burning, but she held it back. She blinked hard and looked at the road carefully, while supporting Bai Mingshu to walk upright on the road.
The sky was already getting brighter, and Bai Mingzheng and Bai Guo were also greeting He Mei in her yard at this time.
Bai Mingshu, who could no longer see anything, entered the room. Even though she was prepared, she paused when she saw Ging Guo. Then she calmly saluted He Mei in the high position, "Mother."
He Mei nodded. She saw that Bai Mingshu's neck was covered up but still showed some purple marks. She also knew that Bai Guo took care of Aunt Ke last night, but this matter did not pass through her hands. He Mei Although my sister didn’t know what was going on, she also knew that it was better to just pretend to be confused at this time.
If she could tell, Ging Guo would. If she couldn't tell, asking would only add to the embarrassment.
When Bai Mingshu saw He Mei responded, she saluted Bai Guo, "Cousin."
Bai Guo nodded, his eyes not lingering, nor any other emotions.
Compared with yesterday, today's Ging Guo is the indifferent and almost aloof person again, but at this time, Bai Mingshu actually thinks that this look is good.
Because it means those things are over.
"Sister." Bai Ming was saluting Bai Mingshu. He stood up when he saw Bai Mingshu nodding. He then sat down when he saw Bai Mingshu sitting down. Then he pulled Bai Guo's sleeves unruly and continued to ask: "Cousin, why don't you let me out? Want to play? I have an appointment."
Bai Guo tapped Bai Mingzheng's eyebrows, his eyes were a little gentler and he said, "Can't you go out later? I have some things to deal with in the morning."
Bai Mingzheng wrinkled his little face, and in the end he could only nod his head and said: "Then cousin, please hurry up.
, I haven’t been out for a long time. "
Bai Guo smiled and nodded.
In the past few years, everyone has changed, and they have been forced to take the initiative, but only Bai Mingzheng in front of him has not.
He is as simple as a child, yet he understands all the sophistication of the world.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Bai Mingshu raised her eyes and looked at He Mei. She originally wanted to know what else was going on, but she saw He Mei staring at her and asking, "Mingshu came here, what's the matter?"
Bai Mingshu's limbs were stiff for a moment.
As a concubine, it was necessary for her to pay her respects to her mistress. Even Ging Guo came to pay her respects every day, unless she was accompanying the old lady to worship Buddha, but they didn't.
When she and Bai Mingxia were learning etiquette, Aunt Ke would laugh at it as useless, and as time went by they became more and more arrogant.
He Mei was too lazy to pay attention to them, so she couldn't help them, so she didn't believe it when she came over today and said it was okay.
"...Daughter..." Bai Mingshu lowered her eyes and said, "I want my mother to ask an imperial doctor to take a look at Aunt Ke."
He Mei did not expect this to be the case, and immediately frowned. After thinking for a while, she said, "Let me take a look when I come back later."
She didn't see how serious Aunt Ke's injuries were. She was afraid that Bai Guo would torture her into inhuman form. If she rashly invited a doctor to visit her, the Bai family might gain a reputation for cruelty, which would be detrimental in the officialdom.
"My daughter thanked her mother for Aunt Ke." Bai Mingshu bowed to Sister He again. When she stood up, she heard Sister He say again: "I will invite the etiquette nanny to come to the door tomorrow. You have reached the age to be married. How much? You have to learn something.”
He Mei was a little relieved when she heard Bai Mingshu sent those ladies out yesterday.
Not to mention how considerate the gift was, but at least he didn't do anything embarrassing like leaving the guests there without caring about them. This made He Mei extremely satisfied with things like yesterday.
She felt satisfied in her heart, thinking that Bai Mingshu was about to get married. If she was still so casual when she married into her husband's family, it would probably make her husband's family look down upon her, and it would also be easy for her husband's family to think that the Bai family's tutoring was nothing more than this.
That's why I came up with the idea of inviting people to visit.
