Chapter 795 Who Are You?
The old lady of the Bai family has always been good after being conditioned by Bai Heran. At least she walks without saying a whim, but also keeps her steps straight and speaks very calmly. Even to outsiders, Mrs. Bai's face is rosy and even has few white hair.
But the old lady knew in her heart that Bai Heran had told her that only her body was conditioning, but not her life. There is no magic in this world. Medical skills can prolong life, but it is impossible for a person to live forever.
Even saying that prolonging life is nonsense. A person’s life span is limited. If you can live 99 in this life, you will definitely not be able to live 100. If you decide that you can live to 80, you will not be able to die at the age of 60.
But life is still different. For example, some people can survive to 80, but they are paralyzed since they were 60 years old and can only live on the bed for the next twenty years. This is not a question of quality of life, and some people may even think it is a burden.
Therefore, Bai Heran's conditioning of the old lady was intended to improve her quality of life in her later years. Although her life span remained unchanged, she could keep her healthy during her life and not suffer from the pain of illness.
The old lady knew all this well, so she knew it clearly. So she knew that her physical condition was fine. But after passing through Bai Mingzhu, her body was fine, but the vitality in her body was gradually losing.
She knew that she didn't have many years to live. This was a kind of psychological feeling of a dying person. It was unfounded and completely felt, it was hard to explain or explain.
The old lady thought, maybe God gave her so much life span. Now that her life span is over, no one can keep it.
She went to the Bai Family Ancestral Hall and knelt in front of the old man Bai's tablet, feeling more and more sad.
"Master, I'm sorry for you. The children I gave birth to are not good." The old lady recalled her life. The more she recalled, the more she felt that the person she should reflect on was herself. "I used to love my second child, and I thought the eldest was more determined and ambitious, and I was afraid that he would not love my younger brother after he accepted the title. Therefore, I always hoped that this title could be passed on to my second child. The master thought so, right?"
She stretched out her hand and gently stroked the tablet of the old master of the Bai family. This tablet was replaced because last time Bai Huayan and Bai Qianjiao fought in the ancestral hall, they broke the original tablet.
"The second child is not as ambitious as the boss, but he is not a worry-free person. There are many troubles in the family! I don't want to ask, and they don't want to say it, but I know in my heart why the child in his wife's belly is missing. It's probably their family's root cause. The second child has always had a knot in his heart. So he has never done anything for many years, and he only knows to reach out to get money from the main house. The boss always scolds him because of this matter, and the two of them quarrel when they meet."
"There is also Mingzhu, our little daughter who has been loved since childhood. I love her so much and miss her so much, but she wants to poison me to death." The old lady couldn't help but feel sad when she said this, she covered her face with her hands and couldn't stop her tears.
I don’t know how long it took, but the old lady’s cry finally stopped. Someone handed her a handkerchief from behind. She turned around and saw that it was a young girl wearing a water-red dress and a furry moon-white cloak behind her.
There was water droplets on the cloak, and the old lady looked outside, "Is it snowing outside?"
The visitor nodded, "Yeah, it's snowing."
The old lady looked at the girl in front of her and suddenly couldn't react. Who is this girl? How could she appear in the Bai Family Ancestral Hall? Outsiders cannot enter such places.
Seeing the old lady being stunned, the girl in front of her was stunned, and then asked tentatively: "Grandma doesn't recognize me?"
The old lady looked her up and down again, still looking confused, "You call me grandmother?" Then she seemed to think of something, "Oh, are you a child from the third family?"
The visitor nodded, "Grandma, I am Tongjian, my father is General Zhengbei, Bai Xingcang." Bai Tongjian's voice was low, and he couldn't hide his sadness. "It's all because of the fact that Tongjian can't be properly cut. I don't come to pay my respects to my grandmother on weekdays. It's right for my grandmother to remember that I was right."
The old lady smiled bitterly, "Why are you here?" After saying this, she subconsciously turned around and looked at the old Mr. Bai's tablet, feeling increasingly uncomfortable. "I gave birth to one child, but you gave birth to others and are so competitive and so good. So, it's my problem, right?"
Bai Tongjian was a little confused when he heard this, "Grandma, what did you say?"
The old lady turned around and shook her head slowly, "It's nothing. Let's talk to your grandfather for a few words. I'm actually just your legitimate grandmother."
"The legitimate grandmother is also a grandmother." Bai Tongjian said with a smile, "My father never treats you as a legitimate mother. When he mentions you, he always calls you a mother, and treats you as a mother from the bottom of his heart."
The old lady nodded, "I know."
She did know that she was just not afraid of this.
Bai Xingcang's biological mother is Mr. Bai's concubine. Although Mr. Bai can't see that he loves that concubine too much, she knows that the more he is pampered in her heart, the more he is unwilling to reveal it on the surface. That is a kind of protection, and what he is afraid of is that the concubine will be favored and attract too much jealousy, which will be of no use to her own blessings.
Although she is not the kind of jealous mistress, she is also a woman after all. No woman in the world would care about the so-called sisters her husband brought to the mansion. She has made trouble and used methods, but she is pure by nature and can no longer reach the level of persecuting life.
Therefore, Bai Xingcang's mother lived well in Duke Wenguo's mansion and gave birth to the only concubine's son for the Bai family. Although she died early, she was really not healthy and had nothing to do with the old lady.
Bai Xingcang grew up in front of the old lady. The old lady is not very good to this concubine. After all, when she sees him, she can think that he is not his own child, but his husband and other women, and she can't overcome that hurdle. But she really didn't treat Bai Xingcang too hard, and even quietly told Bai Xingcang when the old man was about to die that if possible, he would leave the house and not live under the same roof with his elder brother Bai Xingyan. It would be no benefit.
Later, Bai Xingcang joined the army and formed a general to fight for the North, and kept remembering what the old lady told him.
He knew that it was not that the old lady was sincerely rushing out for him, but that the old lady knew her eldest son too well, and was afraid that he would suffer a loss when he stayed in the Duke's mansion, so he would say to Bai Xingyan.
Bai Tongjian helped the old lady out of the ancestral hall. The snowflakes were floating in the sky, one by one, but it was not in a hurry and the weather was not very cold. Walking on the road in such a weather would make people reluctant to go into the house, and always feel that they would not walk in the snow, which would let God down this gift.
So the old lady said, "Please accompany me to the edge of Yunmeng Lake! It is the largest lake in our mansion. I remember that when I was young, I went around the lake when I ate too much. As a result, after walking around, I was too tired and would eat a lot of food when I came back."
When talking about what happened when he was young, the old lady felt much better, and she remembered many things for a while.
She told Bai Tongjian: "The year you were born, there were a lot of fish in Yunmeng Lake, and they were all koi. I thought, you must be a lucky girl. Although you passed by your father's branch, your fortune may not be less than that of the children who grew up in the main house. Sure enough, your father later became General Zhengbei, and you also moved out of that small portal and moved into the general's mansion. If your legitimate grandmother was still alive, she would be very proud of her son who had such a promising future and would like you, granddaughter."
The old lady held Bai Tong's hand and liked it the more she looked at it. "He is a good child, with a pure look and no impurities. When A Ran was in Beijing, she told me that the cousin of the third uncle's family has a good temper and has a good temperament, so I have to worry about it more. But you also know that there are many things in our family. It's not that our grandmother doesn't care about you, but she is afraid that she will lead these troubles to your house and cause trouble for you."
Yunmeng Lake has frozen, and the lakes in the mansion are all stagnant lakes, and they will be frozen in winter.
She remembered that she was young when Bai Xingyan was still young and was less than ten years old. One winter, she wanted to fish, and she had to let the servant in the mansion dig holes in the ice. But the fish didn't catch it, but the servant fell into the ice hole and was salvaged in the spring of the next year.
That was the first life destroyed by Bai Xingyan.
"Grandma, do you want to stay at the general's mansion for a few days?" Bai Tongjian saw that the old lady was in a bad mood and suggested, "Now my father is not at home, the mansion is also very deserted. If my grandmother can stay at her, we will be very lively." While she spoke, she helped the old lady walk into the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The path to the pavilion in the middle of the lake was covered with snow, and it had not been stepped on. The two people, with four footprints, faced the wind and snow all over the sky, like an exquisite painting.
The old lady remembered the days when she lived in the second family. Everything was fine, but she didn't expect that Bai Mingzhu's incident first happened, and then Tan's family had no children. Sometimes she would wonder if her bad luck brought to her second son, which made Xiaobai's mansion uneasy? Now that she has returned to her house, she has never heard of anything else in Xiaobai's mansion. How dare she go to whose house again?
So she shook her head, "I won't go anymore, you have your own days, and grandmother won't get involved."
"Grandma." Bai Tongjian held the old lady and sat on the chair, squatted in front of her, and put her hands on the old lady's knees. "Grandma, it was my mother who asked me to invite you. Tongjian was about to get married, and there were a lot of things to prepare. My father was not at home, so my mother and I were really too busy. So my mother wanted to ask you to stay here for a while, and I also wanted to ask my grandmother to make the decision for Tongjian's things."
"You... are going to get married?" The old lady then remembered that she heard that the daughter of the third family had been married, and it seemed that she was the son of the deputy general of the third army, and she knew very well. "I remembered that, this is the case." She was a little embarrassed.
Will you go or not?
