Foster son and husband

Chapter 40 The Second Room (Part [-])

Bai Jingyu stroked her temples with her hand, and looked at Mother Qiao: "Our wife is not well, and she has a headache when there is a disturbance. You go and tell her this? I think it's better to forget it!"

"But……"

Bai Jingyu smiled slightly: "Mother is in charge of the clothing workshop, but I actually sent people to arrange the work... I mentioned to my wife earlier that although our second room has the salary of the master and the second master, we can do it independently, but the expenses are big. I also saw that there are entertainments in the officialdom of the master and the second master. Colleagues follow the members, and the red-topped and white, reciprocating gifts, often needing three to five hundred taels or even three to five hundred taels of silver. Freely reward a service outside If you don’t have one or two taels of silver, you lose your face. I spent a lot of money throughout the year to settle accounts for my wife. I bought expensive and good supplements, balsam, and clothing to honor her. I even sealed and sent vain money to her. In the room, doesn’t she have a count in her heart? If I don’t have a measure and don’t do something, how can the second room have such a good life in the past two years? With the monthly money from the kilometers, the wife doesn’t have such a loose hand— —Two times in three days, I went to the major temples to arrange Buddhist ceremonies with eminent monks, lit the longevity lanterns everywhere, and went back to Guifu once. The gifts for my grandmother and several uncles and aunts can pile up several carts! Mom, don’t worry, I will do whatever I want Said, when my wife comes back, I will have my own points."

Mother Qiao laughed along, not daring to say a word.

Bai Jingyu glanced at Mama Huang, and Mama Huang went to open the curtain embroidered with rich and noble flowers and birds, went into the next room, and came out after a while, holding a flat green cloth purse in her hand, and sent it to Mama Qiao. smiled and said:

"It's just in time for you to come. Grandma asked me to look for you last night. I was busy for a while, but I forgot it. I'm so old! Grandma gave it to you. It's the Chinese New Year, and the whole family always has something to look forward to." , buy some New Year’s goods, give the boy and daughter some new clothes, and reward some New Year’s money!"

Qiao's mother said in her mouth, "What's wrong with this!" While refusing, she looked at Bai Jingyu hesitantly.

Bai Jingyu smiled: "Take it, mom. You run around all day long, and you have to show your condolences during the New Year and holidays. This is a 50 tael silver ticket. Mom, take a look!"

Qiao's mother took the small pouch from Huang's mother steadily, and said with a smile: "Ai, ai, what's the use... Grandma is always so considerate of the servants, the old slave, the old slave remembers the kindness of grandma in my heart, thank you grandma for beating me." reward!"

As he said this, he bowed his knees and saluted, and Bai Jingyu waved his hands: "Mom, go get busy with something, the garment workshop will make arrangements for it, and I won't let my mother suffer in the slightest!"

Qiao's mother hurriedly added a few good words and showed her loyalty. Then she took the bank note and sent it out from Huang's mother.

Bai Jingyu immediately assigned staff, leaving Xiangxue to serve in front of her, and asked Mama Huang to lead all the maids and servants in the room who knew how to sew, and made a group of three or five, pulled them out a few times, and quietly went to the garment workshop.

Xiangxue served water and tea in front of Bai Jingyu, and saw the nanny carrying the eldest sister in. The three-year-old eldest sister was wearing two little buns, her little face was pink and snow-white, and she was wearing a red padded jacket like her mother, and entered the door. With a flat mouth and watery eyes, Bai Jingyu was so distressed that he didn't even bother to drink tea, he stretched out his hand to hold his daughter and sat down beside her, and asked the nanny what was going on?

The nanny looked puzzled, and it took a long time to speak clearly, and Bai Jingyu was so angry that her heart was full.

The two children were playing together, fighting for a puppet and refusing to give in to each other. The eldest sister hit Brother Shen. Brother Shen didn't cry at first, but the fifth grandma Fang came up and hugged Brother Shen and asked repeatedly:
"Where did you hit? Does Shen'er hurt?"

Shen'er burst into tears, and the old man who was drinking tea with Aunt Yan ran out, snatched the puppet from the elder sister's hand, handed it to Shen'er, and asked Fang to coax it slowly. Brother Shen, but he didn't even look at the two eldest sisters who were about to cry with tears in their eyes, and just waved for the nanny to take her away.

It's just a concubine's eldest grandson, and he can't match his eldest granddaughter Jingui. It's too much for the master to be so biased and not hesitate to wrong the elder sister!
Bai Jingyu was caressing his chest, when suddenly he saw the door curtain raised, and the second master Xu Junlang walked in with a serious face in official uniform, ignoring Xiangxue and Nanny's salutes and greetings to him, until he sat down in front of the couch, separated by a small Shorter, he stared at Bai Jingyu coldly.

Bai Jingyu was horrified by him, but he couldn't think of anything he had done that didn't suit him, so he said gently:
"Master just came back from the yamen? Are you hungry? Let Xiangxue wait for you to change your clothes first, then let the food be served, and it happens that Lian'er is also here, let's have lunch together..."

The eldest sister got up from Bai Jingyu's arms, bypassed the short ones, and snuggled up to Xu Junlang's side, calling softly:

"Father!"

Xu Junlang reached out and touched his daughter's face, and said to the nanny:
"Hold it down, the eldest sister will be placed by the wife's side from now on, and let the wife find her to teach mother to learn the rules!"

Bai Jingyu was stunned for a moment: "What did you say? I am here well, but I sent Lian'er to follow my wife to learn the rules? Could it be that my mother can't teach her?"

Xu Junlang watched the nanny carry the eldest sister out, then signaled Xiangxue to go down too, then pointed at Bai Jingyu, and said angrily:
"You are also considered a lady of the family, and you know that you are a mother. Look at what you have done!"

Bai Jingyu had never seen him like this before, and suddenly changed his face: "What did I do?"

Xu Junlang sneered: "I don't remember what I did just now? You caught Xiangrui, how could she kneel down and kowtow to you with her body like that? Now she's lying there bloody, unconscious...Xiang Rui is your girl, you gave it to me yourself, and now you want to hate her again, the child in her belly was obtained by the mother eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha, if something goes wrong, the child is gone, Bai Jingyu, just wait and see Bar!"

The master is partial to brother Shen, and doesn't want to see the eldest sister. The evil girl in the girl's stomach is protected by her husband before she is born. The men in this family are all cheap!
Bai Jingyu only felt a nameless evil fire rushing straight to his forehead, and looked at Xu Junlang with cross eyebrows:
"A lowly girl deserves my jealousy? I want to see how sick I am, do I have the energy? I'm just worried. I called her to teach some things about giving birth. She will kneel down to me." Master, can I stay on the bed and help her up? Not to mention that it is only a month away from the birth of an adult, so what if she died in the womb without giving birth? What is so rare about a bastard!"

Xu Junlang was so angry that his face turned blue: "What's wrong with the concubine? They are all the flesh and blood of my Xu family. You can also give birth to a concubine for me to see! After four years of marriage, I guard you, but you only have one Meilian. Last year my mother Give me Chun'er by my side. In less than half a year, Chun'er became pregnant. I came back from a business trip with Master Lin. She said nothing, so don't think I don't know anything... Mrs. Bai, I bear you, It’s because your great-grandfather gave me some convenience during the test. I’m not an ungrateful person. But don’t go too far. I don’t have a son at this age. I was teased by others and made my mother worry. It’s all because of your virtue. My mistress is in the room, if you continue to play tricks on me and kill me, I will not spare you!"

Bai Jingyu burst into tears: "It turns out that my grandfather treated me well in the past just to repay my great grandfather's kindness. Now that my great grandfather has passed away, I don't have to worry about the relationship between husband and wife anymore!"

Xu Junlang patted the short ones: "What are you talking about? Since I married you, you know how I treat you!"

"I've been married for four years, so what do I do to my master? I can tell you from the bottom of my heart, good or bad? I just haven't given birth to a son. I'm still young. Will I not have one in the future? If you say I'm not virtuous, don't you also give it to Tongfang?" Girl? Xiangrui Xiangxue is the most beautiful and gentle person around me. What else? Mom still sent her out well, maybe she accidentally bumped into something, and couldn't protect the child in her stomach, so blame me! Whatever, if you want to beat or kill, you can do it, but I just close my eyes and everything will stop , so that the Lord can marry another noble woman from a better, more virtuous family and a more powerful family, I can only pity my poor girl!"

Bai Jingyu sobbed, didn't wipe away the tears, just twisted the handkerchief, letting the tears flow continuously, Xu Junlang frowned and looked at her for a while, finally lowered his eyes, and sighed slightly:
"I've never seen you cry so easily before. Who wants to kill you? Am I that kind of person? Just to remind you, as a wife, you should have a lot of virtues! I'm not a master, I only love men and not daughters, Meilian is my first child, and I cherish it the most in my heart, but as the eldest son of the second household, I always have a son to support me, and my mother can also breathe a sigh of relief, you know, master...you are a strong one, everything is too difficult. Willing to work hard, if you didn't try your best to go out to patrol the shop on a rainy day and drop the fetus to the one that the eldest sister is pregnant with, you wouldn't have these troubles now..."

In advance of the past, Bai Jingyu cried even more sadly: "Isn't it because of the matter of the master? I was short of money from the public office, and my wife asked me to raise money to fill it up, and she wanted to keep it secret from others. Go up and think of a way... Pity my son who has taken shape! I've worked so hard for you and this family, and you still treat me like this in the end!"

Xu Junlang's complexion was a little relaxed, and after hearing her say the last sentence, he was annoyed again: "Am I not good enough for you? Did I do what I promised you? Go home after finishing the office work every day, Don't linger in Fengyuechang, don't play prostitutes and take concubines, you can have a housemate only if you are approved, and spend most of the month in your room, and I don't go to Xiangxue place often, I spend more time with Xiangrui, my wife told her, Shangxin, the son I gave birth to is good... Before I married you, wasn't I a person who loves elegance and calls friends? You are not satisfied after giving up so much for you!"

Bai Jingyu lowered her head, thinking that before she got married, she hid behind her great-grandfather's painting hall and peeped at the young bachelor in front of the hall through the carved fragrant wood screen. Among the seven or eight people, she immediately fell in love with the gentle and elegant Xu Junlang.

After marriage, the two had a harmonious, sweet and warm time. As time went by, the eldest sister was born, and the wife discovered her ability to make money. Like hunting for treasure, she regarded her as a cash cow. She had to put all her attention on running the store, earning money, and taking care of her children, so she inevitably left Xu Junlang in the cold. On her body, until one day Mrs. Tian gave Chun'er beside him to Xu Junlang, but he didn't say anything, and went to Chun'er's room to spend the night naturally. At that moment, she wanted to kill all the people in the courtyard. people!
Xu Junlang is still very good to her, he only goes to Chun'er's room when she was young, and stays with her the rest of the time, he really loves their daughter Meilian, although the master doesn't like it, he refuses to let her suffer Aggrieved, because of this, Bai Jingyu couldn't hate Xu Junlang, and felt that she was still the most important in her husband's mind.

But she didn't want other women to bear children for him, and she didn't want his wife to send someone into the room again. The fault of Chun'er's death was that she was too greedy. Stomach hurts, let the little girl come and invite the master over, once gone, she will not come back, this method has been used several times, Xu Junlang is not bothered, but she hates Chun'er to death.

Chun'er's death made Xu Junlang sad for a few days. She generously gave him the smart and beautiful Xiangrui, but secretly forced Xiangrui to eat Bizi soup. Sending you soft and honest Xiangxue...

Xu Junlang fulfilled the promise he made when he was newlyweds, not lingering in the court of romance, not accepting concubines, he is worthy of her, but she has done this for him, isn't it good, what kind of virtuousness is needed?
Bai Jingyu wiped away her tears and thought silently: If the news Xiangrui said is true, the wife might accept Xu Junlang as a good concubine when she comes back. A good concubine is talented and beautiful. So what if she is a regular wife?Xu Junlang has experienced a few girls in the house, and his affection for her has faded a lot. He listens to his wife the most. If he really gets a good concubine to come in, he won't be as easy to control as Xiangrui Xiangxue.

Xu Junlang himself brought up the old agreement, so why not take advantage of this moment to talk to him, talk about the old relationship, beat him, wait for his wife to come back and persuade him to take a concubine, even if it is not good for him to refuse directly, at least he has a heart Scruples, you can't just agree to it behind her back.
