Chapter 101 Obedience
"As long as you and my mother are determined, even if your father re-promises, he will have to reconsider."
Xie Jibai lowered his head, and he closed his eyes heavily, "Mother, a manly man, should be based on honoring promises in life, and sons can't break promises. Sons also want to tell mothers that if there is something wrong with the girl from the Hai family, sons should be I will keep festivals for her forever.”
"Ridiculous!" Feng slammed the teacup in his hand on the ground, and the tea stained Xie Jibai's body, "Since ancient times, only wives have observed festivals for their husbands. Have you read all your books into the stomach of a dog?"
"Mother, son will do what he says!"
Speaking of this, Xie Jibai stood up, at this moment, the maid at the door said through the curtain at the door, "Old lady, the messenger on the second door said that someone from the Bai family asked to see the old lady."
What can the Bai family do? Thinking of her younger sister, the old lady could no longer care about the fourth child, she waved him away, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite someone from the Bai family in."
Nurse Jin also knew that the old lady loved her poor sister very much, so she proposed to invite the Bai family members in person.
After a while, Jin Nai came in accompanied by an old nanny wearing a green cloth gown and full of gray hair. As soon as the old nanny came, she knelt down in front of the old lady with a plop, "Slave Jin Gui My aunt kowtowed!"
Feng got off the bed in shock, and walked up to Jingui, "Why are you here? But what happened to your master?"
"Grand aunt, my aunt left at this time last year. Today, the year of filial piety is over. The slave servant is ordered by my girl to pay my respects to my aunt! I beg my aunt to have mercy on my young lady. Before my aunt left, she left a will for one year. After the completion of filial piety, let the girl go to the eldest aunt."
This appellation confuses the servants of Chunhui Hall. Only Nanny Jin knows that the deeds of the Jingui family are still in the Uncle Yongchang’s mansion. Feng Libao, a family of two sent to take care of the second girl, so Jingui still calls the old lady the eldest aunt, from the Yongchang uncle's house.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Yongchang's mansion has not given the body deed to the second girl for so many years.
Probably also felt that the second girl was just a concubine for others, and she was from a family like the Feng family, so she didn't take the second girl seriously.
Unexpectedly, the second girl passed away so early.
The second girl is Feng's younger sister. Because Nanny Jin was the wet nurse that Feng brought out from the Yongchang uncle's mansion, and Feng's younger sister was a concubine for someone else, so it's really not easy to call her.
"Why didn't the Feng family send me a letter?" Feng was trembling with anger, and sat down on the Arhat bed, his chest heaving violently.
Her poor little sister, she didn't even see her for the last time, "How did she go?"
"Grand aunt, my aunt's life is miserable. In the fall of last year, the phlegm disease occurred, and the wife refused to give the medicine to the aunt. After a long delay, the girl went to the main courtyard to beg the wife to kneel until midnight before asking for it." A doctor who specializes in bruises, after three doses of medicine, his life is gone."
Feng's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted, "The Feng family is so deceptive!"
"Grand aunt, the servants were supposed to come to Beijing to report the news. The Feng family did not allow the servants to go out. After finishing the aunt's funeral hastily, the girl had to observe filial piety, so she couldn't go out. Now that the one-year filial piety period has expired, the girl is already fifteen. , Seeing that the marriage has not yet been settled. A few days ago, I heard that my wife was going to give the girl to a stupid nephew of her natal family, and the servants did not dare to delay any longer, so they had to come to Beijing to beg the eldest aunt."
Back then, her second sister went to the temple to burn incense. On the way back, she encountered robbers and disappeared for a day and a night. When she was found later, she had already lost her virginity.
At that time, there was a girl who was a concubine in the palace of Uncle Yongchang, and she was about to marry into Xie's family as the clan wife. Uncle Yongchang's mansion couldn't afford to be ashamed of this, and planned to let her sister die with a white silk, It was she who begged her father so hard that she sent her second sister to Zhuangzi for the elderly.
Later, the second sister disappeared from Zhuangzi, and later, the second sister sent a letter.
It turned out that one day when it rained heavily, the young master of the Bai family came in to take shelter from the rain just as he was passing by Zhuangzi, so the younger sister eloped with the young master of the Bai family.
At that time, she thought, this is fine, the second sister is a ticking time bomb after all in Zhuangzi, if one day someone in the capital turns up the old chapter, firstly, it will hurt the aunt who has been promoted to the concubine in the palace, and secondly, she will be in the palace. The Xie family was not going well, if the Xie family knew that her younger sister lost her virginity first and then lost her virtue, how would she treat her?
Her poor sister!
Sister Mei is the only blood left by my younger sister. She can't keep Sister Mei. Feng's heart aches, and she tells Nanny Jin, "Arrange someone to go to Bai's house to bring Sister Mei here!"
"Old lady, do you want to tell the old man about this first?" Jin Nanny reminded.
Feng Shi has already made up her mind. She didn't keep her sister back then, so she must not let her sister's spirit in heaven be at peace this time, and said unhappily, "I will talk to the old man about this matter later, you can arrange it first. !"
Jingui knelt on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. The girl was right. If she brought out her aunt, the eldest aunt would definitely agree. If the aunt is gone, the eldest aunt would feel even more guilty.
Now, all they can take advantage of is this bit of guilt, and everything will wait until they enter Xie's house.
Xie Tiao recently had a double happiness, and his temper has improved a lot. Later, Mrs. Feng invited him over and said to welcome Bai Meizhi. Xie Tiao did not object immediately, but pondered for a long time, and said, "The girl from the Bai family is here, so let's put her in the Magnolia Courtyard. It's a little smaller, but it's also close to your place, she's already grown up, you should arrange a marriage for her in Beijing, and let Xie's family pay for her dowry!"
Feng Shi was shocked, and looked at Xie Tiao in disbelief. It is impossible for the Xie family to give Bai Meizhi a dowry according to the specifications of a prostitute, but even the dowry of a concubine is much better than that of some down-and-out pro daughters of the Xungui family.
Why?
Feng looked at Xie Tiao's meaningful eyes, and suddenly felt cold all over his body, did he know? How can it be? How could he know?
No, he won't know about this!
No one knew what happened that day. She just went to her mother's yard and heard what her father and mother said. Her father said that her aunt told her that the late emperor wanted to choose one of the daughters of the Feng family to refer to Xie Tiao. As a continuation, my mother told my father at the time that she wanted to marry herself into her natal family, so only the second sister was the most suitable.
At that time, Xie Tiao had just lost his wife and was in grief. No one knew that she had a crush on Xie Tiao, let alone that she wanted to marry Xie Tiao. How could Xie Tiao know?
"Thank you, old man!" Feng Shi blessed himself.
Third watch!
