Except for Mrs. Bai and Mr. and Mrs. Bai Banban, everyone in the Bai family was curious about what Cheng Mei talked about in the upper room.
Because it was obvious that Mrs. Bai's anxiety disappeared after Cheng Mei left.
But they didn't dare ask.
"Hey, sister-in-law, are you talking about Cheng Mei? She is also from the palace. After all, she is the niece of the Queen Mother." Eugene Gui squatted at the door of the kitchen to choose vegetables. He glanced at the people around him and lowered his voice to say thank you. Spring peach.
Judging from Old Mrs. Bai's unpleasant behavior in the past few days, Eugene Gui felt that his guess was right.
Someone in the palace must have wanted to take her mother-in-law to the capital again, but the great-grandmother did not agree.
Eugene Gui felt that the grandma was too rigid. What was there to do in Shenshu Village? It would be great to go to the capital to live a prosperous life.
"This is not something we should inquire about. Regarding family matters, if the mother-in-law and parents-in-law tell us, we will listen. If they don't tell us, there is no need for us to ask. They will never harm our family."
Xie Chuntao disagrees with Eugene Gui.
She vaguely guessed that Cheng Mei's arrival must be related to her sister-in-law.
As for what it was, she didn't know.
Her mother-in-law wouldn't tell her, and she wouldn't ask.
Eugene Gui curled his lips, this sister-in-law couldn't even talk to her about gossip.
Can I compare with Xie Chuntao? Even if Xie Chuntao didn't ask, her mother-in-law would tell her in private and discuss ideas with her. As for herself, not only would she not tell her about anything at home, she would also hide it from herself.
"Sister-in-law, do you know why this Cheng Mei is wearing a curtain hat and covering her face? I went to the upper room to deliver tea, and I stood at the door and saw that her face was the same as that of Butler Yan. I don't know. What gets chopped by a knife is still burned by fire, it's scary." Even though it was boring to gossip with Xie Chuntao, Eugene Gui still couldn't help but gossip.
There is no way, Xie Chuntao is honest, at least he will not quarrel with her.
She didn't dare to gossip with Tian Maimiao.
When Yu Jingui thought about the glimpse he had just seen at the door of the upper room, Cheng Mei's face almost frightened him to death. Her hand holding the tea bowl trembled and she almost hit him.
Afraid that Mrs. Bai would find out that she had gone to deliver tea without being summoned, she ran away in fright.
"Second brother and sister, don't talk nonsense. She is the richest female businesswoman in the world no matter what her parents are like. The third brother is still doing business with her." Xie Chuntao said seriously.
"I'm just telling you." Eugene Gui smiled sarcastically.
Thinking that the most elegant businesswoman in the world turned out to have a disfigured face, Eugene Gui couldn't help but feel pity.
"Also, sister-in-law, I saw Cheng Mei holding my mother's hand and crying at the door. She was saying something about the Bai family's daughter. It scared me so much that I didn't dare to go in." Although Yu Jingui didn't hear the details clearly, What she said, but she thought it had something to do with her sister-in-law. After all, who else could the Bai family's daughter have besides her sister-in-law?
"I heard from the third brother that Master Cheng got cold on the way and it would be fine if he read the letter written by his sister. Maybe people say they are the daughter of the Bai family because they are grateful to their sister." Xie Chuntao was surprised and vaguely guessed why Cheng Mei came to Bai. I saw my sister-in-law at home, but naturally she couldn't tell Eugene Gui.
Eugene Gui thought for a while and nodded.
That's right, who made my sister-in-law speak so smartly? Isn't it normal for a businesswoman like Cheng Mei who travels to the sea to come to the Bai family to pay homage to her sister-in-law devoutly and ask for a few auspicious words?
As for the coveted gifts and jewelry given to my sister-in-law, it doesn’t mean anything. I’ve lost my life, so why do I still care about jewelry?
She was curious about what Cheng Mei brought to her sister this time.
Seeing Xiao Fuyuan coming out of the upper room, Eugene Gui waved to Xiao Fuyuan and said, "Sister, what do you want to eat for lunch? My second sister-in-law will cook it for you."
When Xiao Fuyuan heard that her second sister-in-law was cooking for her, she was so frightened that she waved her hands.
Seeing her sister-in-law sitting at the door of the kitchen, she ran over, put her little hands on Xie Chuntao's belly, and listened to what was going on inside.
Xie Chuntao was amused by her sister-in-law's cute behavior. She stroked her sister-in-law's head and said, "Your niece is still young and can't move yet."
Xiao Fuyuan smiled sweetly.
Eugene Gui said from the side: "Sister-in-law, what a little niece, a little nephew, your baby will definitely be a boy."
Xie Chuntao frowned and said, "Are you not allowed to think about my daughter?"
"Sister, what good thing did Cheng Mei give you this time?" Yu Jingui asked curiously.
"Doll, skirt." Xiao Fukuoka said.
"Why are you just giving these?" Eugene Gui almost said something worthless.
"I like it very much." Xiao Fuyuan saw the second sister-in-law's thoughts and emphasized.
Xie Chuntao was moved at the side, touched Xiao Fuyuan's hand, and said: "The gift is not about the value, but about the intention. As long as my sister likes it."
Eugene Gui sneered in his heart, this Xie Chuntao always looked like a saint.
When Tian Maimiao gave birth to twins, her sister-in-law randomly grabbed two large beads from the jewelry given by Cheng Mei and gave them to the twins.
When Xie Chuntao was born, her sister-in-law gave her a doll to see what she said.
"Xiao Yuanbao, come here."
Old Mrs. Bai was digging in the vegetable patch. When she got tired, she called Xiao Fuyuan over.
"Grandma, take a rest." Xiao Fuyuan wiped old Mrs. Bai's sweat with her own handkerchief.
At this time, Mrs. Bai looked at her granddaughter again, feeling a little bit lost and found again.
When her son and daughter-in-law agreed that Cheng Mei should come to see her granddaughter, she was very nervous, fearing that her granddaughter would be taken away from her.
That's why she maintained a confrontational attitude towards Cheng Mei throughout the whole process.
Now that Cheng Mei personally admitted that Xiao Fuyuan was a descendant of the Bai family, Mrs. Bai's heart fell back into her stomach.
…
Beijing.
Grandma Chang brought an exquisite box and came to the Queen Mother with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, look, these are the sweet potatoes that the eldest lady asked He Shun to honor you."
Grandma Chang opened the box.
The Queen Mother took a look at the red oval-shaped rhizome in the box and couldn't help but ask: "Sweet potato?"
What kind of rare thing is that?
"Yes, sweet potato. It is said that the third son of the eldest lady's family went to Nanyang to find it for Lord Furong." Grandma Chang said with a smile.
This is the first time that the eldest lady has given a gift to the Queen Mother.
She also wanted to show filial piety to the sweet potatoes that the Third Young Master brought from Nanyang, which shows that the eldest lady has the Queen Mother in her heart.
"Queen Mother, this is a good thing. It is said to be delicious when cooked or steamed. The bigger advantage is that it can be used as food. Like peanuts, the yield is as high as a dozen vines. The eldest son of the eldest lady's family is I’m thinking of planting some seeds.” Grandma Chang said.
"This thing is so good." The Queen Mother murmured to herself.
At the same time, he asked: "You said this was brought by the Bai family's daughter Rang from Nanyang?"
Grandma Chang said: "I heard that's the case."
The Queen Mother fell into deep thought.
It is said that the area around Nanguan Mountain is auspicious.
Could it be that this Xiangrui is the Bai family girl?
The emperor had been worried that food could not feed such a large population, so she gave him such a big gift.
