Queen's Development

Chapter 159

When passing through the front yard, seeing the generals and civil servants in armor coming and going, Mrs. Bai and Bai Futang couldn't help but feel uneasy. It was only then that the couple realized that they had entered the residence of a second-rank senior official.

But after thinking about it, they made a new discovery—this is their son-in-law's mansion!

Thinking of this, Bai Futang and Mrs. Bai suddenly became proud again, and started a new plan: the son is still living in the ruined temple, but the daughter's house is so rich, I have to talk to Yuzhi, let Yuzhi Zhi bought a house for Yuhuai in the capital, and married a girl from a rich family to Yuhuai!

The more Bai Futang and Bai Dasao think about it, the more beautiful they become, and the more they think about it, the more they plan to meet Yuzhi and bring them up one by one.

The little brother who led the way in front was Ah Cheng, he never said much, even if Bai Futang and Mrs. Bai had nothing to say along the way, he just smiled.

When they arrived at the Moon Gate, seeing that Li Rui was already waiting there, Ah Cheng smiled and said, "Housekeeper, Auntie, please bring these two in!"

Li Rui looked it up and guessed that this was Yuzhi's parents.

Seeing that Mrs. Bai's eyes were rolling around, it was clearly not a fuel-efficient lamp, Li Rui was a little worried, so he and Ah Cheng led the Bai couple into the Moon Gate, and walked north along the corridor.

Sister-in-law Bai was secretly surprised: This little brother is so good-looking, he is a housekeeper at such a young age?

The group finally arrived at Tingsongyuan.

A Xuan saw Li Rui and A Cheng brought a couple in in the concierge, so he hurried in to report.

Not long after, Ah Xuan came out again: "My aunt is inside, please let these two go in!"

Sister-in-law Bai became a little unhappy, her parents are here, what are you going to do with Bai Yuzhi?Come out to greet me soon?

Bai Futang tugged Mrs. Bai, followed Li Rui and A Cheng into the Tingsong Courtyard, walked through the green pine forest, and walked along the green brick path to the main house.

Sister-in-law Bai looked at the scenery in the Songyuan while walking, and she sighed in her heart—it's such a good place!
A group of people arrived outside the main room.

There were four maids in gorgeous clothes standing under the corridor of the main room. When they saw Li Rui and Ah Cheng leading a middle-aged couple in, they were all stunned for a moment, and then they all greeted them with smiles. Among them, the one with a long face The pretty girl with slender eyes said with a smile: "Is it Master Bai and Grandma Bai? Please go in, my aunt is waiting in the room!"

Jin'er raised the lotus-green satin curtain, and invited Bai Futang and Mrs. Bai to enter.

Han Lin looked at Dongmei and Aimei with a smile: "It's cold outside, you should go back to your room and rest first!"

Dongmei snorted, turned and left.

Ai Mei hurriedly followed.

As soon as the Bai couple entered the open room, they felt a warm air filled with the very pleasant smell of plum fragrance spread over the surface, and the whole body became warmer.

As soon as they looked up, they saw a girl with a beautiful face who was dressed as a young woman like a fairy in the sky sitting on the Luohan bed directly in front of her. They couldn't help but stared at the past.

Yuzhi wore a peach heart bun today, with four ruby-studded butterflies on both sides. She was wearing a rose-red brocade gown and a plain white dress with outer gauze and inner silk. She was sitting there upright. , more and more graceful and luxurious.

Sister-in-law Bai looked carefully, and saw that this fairy had picturesque eyebrows, fair and delicate skin, and a slender figure, especially those eyes, which were watery as if she could talk, which was exactly how her daughter Bai Yuzhi described her!
She immediately stretched out her hands with tears in her eyes and said, "My... Yuzhi!"

Bai Yutang also recognized Yuzhi, his eyes were moist, and while wiping his tears with his sleeves, he said: "God has eyes, I never thought I could still see my daughter in this life!"

Yuzhi sat on the Arhat's bed, watching her father and mother's performance with cold eyes.

Her parents are really happy to see her, but after the joy, they will start to make all kinds of demands, wishing to cut her to pieces and dedicate it all to her brother Bai Yuhuai!
Sister-in-law Bai and Bai Futang were even moved by themselves, but they couldn't help being taken aback when they saw their daughter sitting there calmly.

Aunt Bai hurriedly stepped forward, sat down on the Arhat bed next to Yuzhi, and reached out to touch the rose-red brocade robe on Yuzhi's body: "My son, what material is this, it looks so beautiful?"

Yuzhi looked up at Han Lin: "Help Grandma Bai to the armchair!"

Han Lin answered "yes", and really stepped forward to help Mrs. Bai up, and put her on the carved huanghuali wood armchair against the east wall.

Yuzhi looked at her father again, and said, "Sit down!"

Han Lin led Bai Futang to sit down next to Mrs. Bai.

Yuzhi didn't speak, and looked at her parents with a pair of wonderful eyes.

Her father and mother were dressed very poorly, and they always wore blue cotton padded clothes that were washed white in the cold weather.

The Bai couple did not expect that their daughter, who had been sold long ago, would have such a future, so they looked at Yuzhi with piercing eyes, waiting for Yuzhi to express their affection, so that they could take the opportunity to make various demands.

After Yuzhi sized it up, she said, "What are parents doing in Beijing?"

When Mrs. Bai heard this, her face froze, and then she laughed: "We're here to see you and your brother!"

She remembered what the steward Li had told her, and she couldn't help beating her heart: If Yuzhi agreed to their husband and wife's request, she would not listen to that steward Li, but Steward Li said, if she did not listen to him, she would go to To clean up their son Bai Yuhuai...

Hearing this, Yuzhi said calmly, "Brother is also in the capital?"

Bai Futang is obviously a taciturn person, but when he mentions his son Bai Yuhuai, his eyes light up immediately: "Yuzhi, your brother is now the master of juren, and now he is waiting for an official in the capital!"

Yuzhi said "Oh" and didn't say much.

She used to like her brother very much, but since she was sold and his brother never found her, she didn't feel much anymore.

At this time, Jin'er came in with refreshments on a tea tray.

Mrs. Bai and Bai Futang said a few words politely, and then started to eat very quickly.

Yuzhi has been quietly looking at her biological parents.

After they had eaten and drank enough, they said: "Father, mother, what are you going to Beijing this time?"

Hearing this, Bai Futang hurriedly looked at his wife - his wife has always been his backbone.

Mrs. Bai took the teacup and drank it down. Feeling the fragrance of the tea, she smiled and said, "Yuzhi, this tea is really good. Give me some later, and I'll send it to your brother!"

Yuzhi didn't speak, but still looked at her.

Auntie Bai smiled, and said, "Yu Zhi, you know, our family sold all the land for your brother to study and take scientific exams—"

"Is my net worth spent?" Yu Zhi asked lightly.

Mrs. Bai smiled: "What is that little money enough for?"

She stepped forward: "I said Yu Zhi, your brother is still living in Confucius Temple, you can buy him a good house in the capital!"

Yuzhi stared at Mrs. Bai: "What else?"

Auntie Bai saw that Yuzhi didn't refuse, and she felt even happier—you must know that her daughter has always been soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and it's rare for her to agree to help her brother—she said with a beaming smile: "Yuzhi, I heard that the son-in-law He is a high-ranking official, and I saw a lot of officials coming and going in the outer courtyard just now, can you find an official for your brother in the household department? I heard that the household department is the fattest!"

Bai Futang listened on the side, and hurriedly said: "How did I hear that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the fattest in the world, let my son go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Aunt Bai followed suit and nodded, looking at Yuzhi eagerly.

Yuzhi looked at Mrs. Bai and Bai Futang with clear eyes, and said, "You probably don't know my identity yet. I am the aunt of the Lin family. Master Lin is my master, not my husband, and naturally not your son-in-law." .”

"You want me to buy a house for my brother, sorry, I have no money."

"You want my brother to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, sorry, I have no way."

When Mrs. Bai heard the words, she was annoyed immediately, she stood up and pointed at Yuzhi and said loudly: "What the real family said is true, the daughters are all from foreign surnames! Let me tell you, Bai Yuzhi, there are three things to do today. When your brother buys a house, the second is to do it for your elder brother, and the third is to marry your elder brother a lady from a great family, it’s fine if you agree, if you don’t agree, I will stay here today and won’t leave!”

Yuzhi smiled coldly, and told Jin'er: "Let Li Rui and Ah Cheng come in!"

Jin'er agreed and went to call someone.

Yuzhi told Han Lin: "Bring that bag of silver here!"

Han Lin agreed, and quickly came out with a heavy bag of silver from the inner study.

Yuzhi looked at her parents: "The money is my savings for many years, a total of 30 taels, you should take it home! As for my elder brother, children and grandchildren from young children to Sun Fu, I advise you not to worry too much!"

Auntie Bai took the silver and felt that it was falling into her hand, so she handed it to Bai Futang, and said: "Yu Zhi, if you don't agree to those three things, I will hold on and not leave!"

At this time, Jin'er came in to reply: "Auntie, the housekeeper and Ah Cheng are here!"

Yuzhi said loudly: "Let them in!"

Li Rui and Ah Cheng came in to salute Yuzhi.

Yu Zhi smiled and said: "Li Rui, these two are my parents, please send someone to send my parents back to Wanzhou!"

Li Rui stared at Yuzhi and answered "Yes".

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she was so angry that she wished to kill Yuzhi. She immediately remembered the words of that butler Li - "As long as you do that, leave your son's official position to us"!
Yuzhi had a miscarriage this time, and she will still be pregnant; and her son Yuhuai has been waiting in the capital for more than a year, and he can't wait any longer!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai gathered her strength and rushed towards Yuzhi suddenly.
