The spring breeze blows in the willows, and the flowers are in full bloom. Qinghui Courtyard is the largest courtyard in the inner courtyard of Bai Mansion. Everything in the courtyard is well taken care of by the girls, and the lilac flowers are in clusters.
An old pear tree in the courtyard is also not far behind, with clusters of flowers and fragrant stamens. From time to time, a few white petals fall in the wind. The canary hanging on the corridor makes a strange noise and screams. Cheerful.
In spring, the scenery is picturesque. It all seems so wonderful.
However, the eldest son Bai Yehan was kneeling alone on the stone floor in Qinghui Courtyard in silence, without saying a word. Silence is golden.
Why is this?
In the eyes of the girl and mother-in-law, the eldest son is such a brilliant man. He has studied poetry and books since he was a child, and his literary talent is outstanding. He is one of the most famous and noble sons in the capital. He was elected in high school at the age of eighteen, and later in the fourth grade. In the palace examination two years ago, the Holy Father selected him as Tanhualang, and this year he has been transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
A hard-core young man who obviously can rely on his family background and good looks to win, but insists on relying on his talent to show his prominence in the officialdom.
He is the kind of child from other people's family in the legend, the son who is satisfied with the master, the pride in the eyes of the wife, and the treasure in the old lady's hand.
The future is bright and promising.
The eldest son is not only successful in his career, he is also filial and respectful. He is also clean and self-sufficient, and treats others with gentleness and courtesy. He is never like the second son of Tan, who likes to be beautiful and has concubines in his room, making the inner courtyard a mess.
However, such a perfect man with no flaws has made the eldest lady unhappy, and he wants to kneel down to apologize?
Why?
Does the eldest son want to take a concubine?
Keep an outside room?
Have an outer room?
Involuntarily, several beautiful girls with various thoughts began to think too much and began to think too far.
However, it is still scary for the eldest son to kneel here.
A shameless girl went in boldly and timidly collected a handful of broken porcelain pieces and came out. She looked at the kneeling Mr. Bai with sympathy.
The master was still angry, and she couldn't even plead for mercy. She was so scared.
She had never seen her always kind master be so irritable.
They didn't dare to plead for mercy, so everyone had to be cautious. A few girls who had just grown their hair hid in the tea room and did not dare to come out. The girls who had no errands hid in their rooms. Those who had errands were also cautious about leaving behind, for fear of causing trouble. The angry master.
After all, the eldest son could not hide such a big thing as irritating the eldest lady. The nanny next to the old lady came to inquire about it. After entering the inner hall, she didn't know what she said and left in a hurry.
Bai Yehan knelt on the ground alone, with his head lowered, feeling the strange eyes around him.
He felt guilty. During the Peach Blossom Festival in the eastern suburbs last year, Liu Mei and her cousin Bai Yetan had an argument with someone and got into a conflict. They were pushed into the water and beaten.
How did he make the decision later? Worry-free
When he saw that his sixth sister and his cousin had suffered so much, he led someone to the door, hoping to arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice. At that time, he met Xiao Ming and learned that Xiao Ming was a member of the Chen family. Relatives, he originally thought that Xiao Ming relied on his relationship with the Chen family to ignore them, refused to make friends or apologize, and messed up the matter.
He was helpless and quite angry at the time, and decided that the matter could not end like this.
But afterwards, Sixth Sister blamed herself for causing the trouble, and repeatedly begged herself to make the matter a trivial matter, not to investigate further, and not to tell her parents about the matter. She cried and said that the grievances she suffered were nothing, and her mother would be angry if she knew about it. It was her grave sin to have a broken body. Seeing Liu Mei's sincere words, he couldn't bear it, so he felt soft and nodded.
What was he thinking at the time?
He even thought that Sixth Sister had finally grown up, became sensible, understood the general situation, and had a role model for everyone. He even restrained his slaves to keep secret about the matter. After returning home, he even only told his mother a few words to make the big talk less trivial. The Chen family sent When the gift came, Liu Mei eagerly expressed her forgiveness, so her parents did not delve into the matter further.
How stupid.
From the beginning to the end, he did not know that the person who had the conflict with Liu Mei was Bamei Xiaoyu. If he had gone deeper at that time, he would have discovered Bamei earlier. Now that I think about it carefully, there are many strange things about this matter. Why did Sixth Sister suddenly conflict with Eighth Sister, whom she had never met before?
Is it just pampering, bullying, or did she discover something?
It's scary to think about it.
Thinking of the obedient and gentle Bai Xiaoyu, Bai Yehan felt unstoppable feelings of self-blame and guilt.
If Bamei hadn't been protected by that fat girl, how would Bamei have been harmed? If it weren't for Xiao Ming's strength, what would he have done to Bamei?
It is because he ignores the reasons, covers everything with partiality, listens to partial beliefs, acts in favor of others, and is unfair and unfair...
I wanted to be an upright gentleman, but I ended up being a confused person.
Suddenly, something happened around him. He couldn't help but look up and saw his wife Feng kneeling down.
"Why are you here? What are you doing? Get up quickly. This matter has nothing to do with you." Bai Yehan said hurriedly. His wife, Feng Shi, was just pregnant and it was not good to kneel down to avoid fetal motility.
Ms. Feng smiled gently and knelt straight on the ground: "We husband and wife are one and we share the same difficulties. Although I don't know why my mother is angry, there is no reason for my husband to kneel while I stand. As long as we sincerely repent, I believe mother will forgive us."
"Be careful, you may have fetal irritation." Bai Yehan was so moved that he was speechless. This was the person he slept with who had been married for many years and did not want to take a concubine. She was generous and tolerant, had a kind personality, and could bear the pressure and share the joys and sorrows with him. A sad good wife.
In the end, Bai Yehan couldn't bear it anymore and persuaded him: "This matter has nothing to do with you, just go back! Mother will not blame you."
On the day of the Peach Blossom Festival, her daughter caught a cold. Feng was busy taking care of her children at home and missed the event. Therefore, she did not know about it.
"The doctor said my pregnancy was stable and everything will be fine." Feng gently stroked her belly, her beautiful cheeks smiling even more gently, exuding the brilliance of motherly love.
After five years of marriage, they were a loving couple, but it was a pity that they only had one daughter. Although the mother-in-law had no grudge against her husband, she was still under a lot of pressure. Her husband was the eldest son of Bai, and she was both the eldest daughter-in-law and the clan's wife, so she couldn't have that. It is a great pity to die with your legitimate son.
Now that she was finally pregnant again, her anxious heart finally settled.
Here, Aunt Zhu called Mrs. Chen into a secluded courtyard of the Bai family and locked her up while avoiding others. She also arranged for two young men to guard her. After everything was in order, she got free and returned to Qinghui Hall. Halfway down the road Then he learned that the eldest son had been punished to kneel down because he had angered the eldest lady. He felt anxious and couldn't help but hurry back.
Entering the yard, I saw the eldest son kneeling on the ground, not only the eldest son, but also the eldest grandma. Now Aunt Zhu was in a panic. She didn't know the reason and didn't dare to persuade her rashly, so she had to quickly tell the girl to help the two. A futon made of thick brocade is placed under the person's knees.
