Chapter 39 - big brother
It is said that Bai Yinhua is well-known in the circle of ladies, but in fact it is only better than the others. No matter how good her looks are, the worth of women these days is mostly determined by the wealth of background and family background.
The highest official position in the Bai family is Bai Zheng, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and a fourth-rank official. It is very bluffing to put it outside. The royal family, the aristocratic family with the deceased family, after all, the Bai family is nothing.
Although Bai Yinhua has a good reputation and reputation, strictly speaking, people who are interested in her can’t pick out what she really likes, especially when the eldest princess doesn’t hesitate to marry a concubine as a daughter-in-law. Bai Yinhua’s situation became even more embarrassing when the news of the marriage contract spread.
When Bai Yinhua deliberately avoided the limelight, the other noble ladies did not leave her room for regret. You must know that girls raised by real families basically set their future careers as soon as they are born. They don’t want to go to the palace, but they also get married among the people who are friends with the same level. Anyway, what are the abilities of their parents and elders? Don’t worry about getting married.
Then, the daughter of an official family who is a little behind in rank can only find a way to improve her good reputation as a virtuous and virtuous person outside. It is best to attract a good person to come to her door, which is also a kind of honor.
The girl from the Chen family in the mouth of the eldest princess is one of them.
Shen Jingzhi’s original wife, the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Xie family, was one year older than the first daughter of the long house. Although her status was a bit worse, she was not inferior to others when it came to the elders’ favor and her own character.
That’s why the eldest princess meticulously asked for this marriage for the eldest son, and she couldn’t be more satisfied with this daughter-in-law, but she was a little weaker and went away at a young age.
At this moment, if I look for the successor, I can’t find another high-profile family. First, they are not afraid to provoke trouble, it seems like their family has great ambitions. Second, the eldest princess believes that Shen Yuanhao is the heir of the Shen family in the future. A stepmother with a strong background is involved in a lot of uncertainty.
As for the Chen family girl…
Bai Chu searched carefully in his mind, and vaguely remembered such a person. There are two young ladies from the Chen family. The younger one has never dealt with Bai Yinhua very well, but she is favored at first sight. She was used to it, she was innocent and young, and was repeatedly refuted by Bai Yinhua to be speechless and furious, but it was her sister who came out to clean up the mess.
“Does the mother value the eldest lady of the Chen family?” Bai Chu smiled and said, “My daughter-in-law has a shallow vision, she only thinks that Miss Chen is kind and dignified, but she can’t say anything if she wants more. You have to see it with your own eyes to be at ease.”
The eldest princess sighed, how could she not understand the truth, it’s just…
“If it wasn’t for the continuation of the string the year before, this kid Jingzhi wouldn’t have taken the initiative to ask the sage to leave Beijing to work. He finally came back. I’m really worried that he heard this and left home in anger.”
The eldest princess has a headache just thinking about it. Her sons don’t know what’s wrong, they all run out of the house when they are unsatisfactory. The younger son is okay. His temperament was dull and reserved, he didn’t say a word beforehand, and suddenly said that he was going out on business, and his son didn’t care. He didn’t see anyone for more than half a year.
Bai Chu didn’t expect this one to happen here, and said softly: “In that case, mother, you should wait for a while, the uncle will be home in a few days, so you must first ask him if he wants to. “
The eldest princess shook her head: “I don’t know what his temperament is? If I don’t mention it, he is probably willing to be a widower for the rest of his life.” It was not easy for him to marry the Xie family. In the next few years, the Xie family had nothing to do, and the eldest princess didn’t mention a word about the concubine’s room. She just knew that this child was lonely and cold, and was impatient to be close to others.
That’s it.
After the anger passed, the eldest princess was not good at telling Bai Chuduo what was wrong with her eldest son, so she let her go back first.
Bai Chu returned to Wutong Courtyard, and had nothing to do to chat with Shuangxi about Shen Jingzhi, the eldest young master of the Shen family. He had never seen him in the original owner’s memory, but he had heard it before. When Shen Jingzhi and Xie’s girl got married. God, Mrs. Zhang said that the marriage alliance made by the two elders, their family had the eldest daughter, and the eldest son of the Shen family should be married, but it was a pity that Bai Yinhua was born too late…
Listening to this, I think that Shen Jingzhi is an extremely outstanding person in the eyes of the world.
Shuangxi didn’t know much more than the original owner, but after staying in the Shen residence for a long time, I heard people say a few words by chance.
“Young madam, they all say that the eldest young master is scary,” she said with trepidation. “Although I don’t lose my temper very much, just one glance at him can make people faint.”
Bai Chu was a little speechless: “Where did you hear this gossip?” The most intimidating person she has ever seen is Zhou Boxuan, but like him, it is very likely that he was trained in a sea of blood. Staying by the emperor’s side for a few years must have been in contact with some secrecy and privacy.
Shen Jingzhi is the eldest son of Princess Duanmin, and it is not bad to say that he is the arrogant son of the stars and the moon. I heard that the emperor originally wanted to give him a title directly, but Shen Jingzhi actively rejected him, in exchange for a Yu Duyu History’s position, the Holy Family is very good.
How scary can such a life be?
It wasn’t until Bai Chuzhen saw the legendary young master that he understood what the scary rumors were about.
Both Shen Yongzhi and Shen Yuzhi were born more like the eldest princess, but Shen Jingzhi was ten percent like Shen Yuan. It wasn’t because they were not good-looking, but because they were too heroic, using “eight feet in height and three pavilions in their arms”. It couldn’t be more appropriate to describe it.
There is a warrior figure, but his face is very handsome, his eyebrows are like lacquer, and his eyes are cold stars. Bai Chu finally understood what a face with sharp edges and corners like a knife was cut, and the brows were as deep as the deep sea. He didn’t even need to show his external temperament, and his whole body exuded a terrifying power.
There was no soft spot on Shen Jingzhi’s body, it was so hard that it was as if a bullet could not penetrate.
Bai Chu silently turned her head to look at the “father-in-law” she had seen for the first time. Although Shen Yuan also looked very dignified, somehow, with Shen Jingzhi as a foil, the head of the family instantly became amiable.
At least his looming gray hair on the temples still looked very kind.
No wonder Princess Duanmin looked down on all the young talents in the capital back then. After all, all the elegant sons tied together could not stop Shen Yuan’s “attractive” momentum.
Rao is wanton and calm like Bai Chu, and she can’t help but step back. This kind of “big elder” figure is really her nemesis.
Just thinking about it, the eldest princess over there looked at her lovingly with smiling eyes, while introducing to Shen Jingzhi: “This is your third younger brother and sister, who just got married in May, if it weren’t for your child’s insistence on going. If you wander outside, you won’t miss your brother’s wedding banquet.”
In a short sentence, it is hard to hide the love in the blame.
It was nothing at first, but now I listen to her saying “children”, and then look at Shen Jingzhi’s expressionless face.
Bai Chu wanted to laugh, but under the pressure of the other party’s momentum, he didn’t dare to be arrogant, so he closed his eyes and replied meekly: “Chu Hua has seen Uncle.”
Shen Yuzhi hadn’t seen her with her low eyebrows pleasing to the eye for a long time, she took a peek at her with a novel look, and then looked at the stern face of her elder brother, and suddenly felt a little funny: “Brother, you seem to have lost weight? “
Because of his opening, Shen Jingzhi’s gaze shifted from Bai Chu to him as a matter of course, a faint gap appeared between his brows, “Yuzhi, how are you doing with the boxing technique I left behind when I left? His eyes were as sharp as torches, and at a glance, he could see that Shen Yuzhi’s body had not changed much, and even had a tendency to relax.
Shen Yuzhi’s smile froze at the corners of her mouth, and her tone showed a bit of guilt: “Brother, you have worked **** your journey, so don’t stand as a windbreaker. Mother has prepared a banquet for you and the second uncle. Let’s go to visit grandmother first? “
Everyone noticed that the Shen Ming family was behind Shen Jingzhi.
It is also because his sense of existence is too strong, such a dark group of people are abruptly left to the side.
Shen Yuan and the eldest princess took the lead to exchange a few words, but Shen Yuzhi was afraid that Shen Jingzhi would think about his practice again, so he turned around and said hello to his two cousins.
In this way, Bai Chu and Shen Yongzhi were left behind.
“I’ll just say it, Chu Chu,” Shen Yingzhi’s warm voice sounded in her ear, chuckling teasingly, “When you see the second brother, I’m afraid you won’t even dare to get close.”
Bai Chu glanced at him slightly sideways, and lowered his voice: “Uncle is imposing, I am in awe.”
Shen Yuezhi didn’t buy it, and asked her with a smile, “Why don’t you call me Big Brother?”
She has always regarded etiquette as nothing, and most of the time she is pretentious in front of her elders. Looking back at her, she really obediently restrained her claws, Shen Yongzhi was interesting, but inevitably a little bit sour.
He laughed and cursed at others, but he was exceptionally well-behaved in front of his eldest brother, even if it was out of awe, it was different in the end.
Bai Chu glared at him angrily, and then moved slightly to the side, Quan as he didn’t hear.
Shen Yongzhi’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a lingering gaze looking towards him, he looked up and saw that Shen Jingzhi’s eyes were cold, and he looked at him with a faint scrutiny.
He showed a gentle smile and nodded at random, his attitude was friendly and kind, just like the usual greetings, as if he didn’t understand the warning in his eyes at all.
