The cannon fodder beauty who quickly traveled through the world was pregnant and gave birth to a bab

Red lanterns hang high on the eaves of the Xu Mansion, which is carved with dragons and phoenixes. The red lanterns reflect the wisps of red silk and green silk. No matter who the woman who is about to come in today is, the festive atmosphere of noisy gongs and drums is a must-have. Understand.

It's just that such traditional bustle seems a bit out of place in Shanghai and Sichuan, which is full of Western style.

At least many of the guests invited by the Xu family were young masters in suits and leather shoes. Xu Lanyin and several of her close friends were also wearing fashionable Western dresses.

"I really don't understand why we have this old-school wedding."

Xu Lanyin complained and looked at the faces of her friends. She found that although they were smiling, their eyes were full of ridicule when they looked at the red lantern. She felt particularly embarrassed.

Standing among all the ladies in Western skirts was a girl who was very brightly dressed. She smiled and said to Xu Lanyin: "Lanyin's father's identity is indeed unusual. On such a happy day, it is better to recover." The old tradition is also normal.”

She is Lin Xiaoting, the daughter of the president of the Shanghai-Sichuan Chamber of Commerce. She has always been the one with the highest status among everyone.

After all, although the Xu family is a large family that has been entrenched in Shanghai and Sichuan since the Qing Dynasty, in such troubled times, it can only rely on the family's heritage to have such dignity. In today's world, except for those who have soldiers under their command, it depends on The business is big.

Xu Lanyin forced a smile. She knew that Lin Xiaoting was not trying to save her by saying this, but was using another decent way to express her ridicule.

Xu Lanyin was even more dissatisfied, not only with the Xu family, but also with Bai Yuzhi.

In her opinion, if Bai Yuzhi had some integrity and was determined not to be the concubine of the Ninth Concubine, how could their family do such a shameful thing.

This is called why not eat minced meat? Xu Lanyin really thought that everything in the world could be achieved by relying on integrity. He didn't even look at what the situation in the Shanghai-Sichuan border was like today. If it weren't for the Xu family's existence, How can she use the wealth accumulated over generations to study abroad and gain some insight?

The banquet was about to begin, and Bai Yuzhi felt the false bustling excitement along the way.

She was stuffed into a small sedan that could only accommodate one person. This concubine who was celebrating the wedding was somewhat different from the concubine who was usually brought in by the Xu family. The difference was that the white jade material could be used to wear a wedding dress, and this small sedan could be worn from the main entrance. Enter.

As he swayed along the way, Bai Yuzhi's mind was filled with the auspicious words of Xi Po outside.

"Happy to welcome the bride, let go of all the filthy diseases!"

This is to put the joy on the table clearly.

Bai Jade sneered.

Just like that, they carried her in with the beating of gongs and drums. She wore a bright red mandarin duck hijab on her white jade head. She was a concubine, so she was very generous even if she wore red. As for the red hijab with dragons and phoenixes, that was absolutely untouchable. .

There was a series of applause and cheers, but these were all coming from the crowd watching the excitement outside the Xu Mansion. As for the literati favored by the Xu Mansion, most of them smiled reservedly and said a few words of blessing.

Bai Yuzhi didn't have the opportunity to see how many people were involved in the banquet, and she was carried all the way to Mr. Xu's house.

Without even entering the door, Bai Yuzhi could smell the oppressive and bitter smell of medicine outside the door.

The Xu Mansion didn't even prepare a new house for her, a happy concubine.

"Mrs. Jiu, our master is in the inner room now. Please wait for your servant to help you over."

A mature female voice that sounds very smooth. Her big hands are a bit rough. She looks like she is used to heavy work. Her white jade shoes can be seen from under the hijab. Maybe it is to suit the occasion. Even this is called by the eldest lady to look at it. The white jade woman who forbids her escape was wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes.

The mother-in-law was so strong that she almost half-carried Bai Yuzhi and carried her towards the inner room where Mr. Xu was.

Mr. Xu, who was seriously ill, was not even strong enough to support him in walking out of the inner room and lifting the hijab of Auntie Jiu who was sold to him.

The white jade sight was covered by a bright red, and she could only see the texture of the marble under her feet. Step by step, her small lotus feet stepped on the cold bricks. The dim light in the room made people feel nervous for no reason.

She didn't care, but the woman who was supporting the white jade woman muttered in discomfort.

"Why are the candles so dim today? The people below are really rebellious."

Then she walked a few steps quickly and pushed Bai Yuzhi to Master Xu's bedside.

A flattering voice sounded: "Master, the bride is here, please lift your hijab quickly."

Mr. Xu's heavy breathing was like an exposed old bellows, and it was annoying. He made a weak voice from inside his chest: "Ah, this is... it's coming."

Bai Yuzhi didn't say anything, and the mother-in-law was very dissatisfied. She replied on behalf of Bai Yuzhi: "Yes, sir, the bride is shy, so please lift the hijab."

She urged Mr. Xu to lift his hijab. As long as he lifted his hijab, today's ceremony would be considered complete.

The white jade material did not move, and Mr. Xu's old hand, as old as a dead branch, slowly raised.

In the whole room, only Mr. Xu himself was making any sound. It was obvious that it was very difficult for him to raise his hand to lift the hijab.

His withered hand touched the red hijab, and the white jade counted down in his heart.

Three, two, one.

In the middle of the night, when the king of hell demands his life.

Mr. Xu's hand slapped on the edge of the bed. The red hijab was not tilted at all, but Mr. Xu's body was tilted first.

His cloudy eyes widened, and his chest continued to bulge with great effort. The mother-in-law was so frightened by this horrifying scene that she screamed. She kept holding the breathless Master Xu on his back, but for the dying man, For people, this is all in vain.

Mr. Xu's body was half cold and his eyes were half closed.

The red candle was still burning. Someone heard the mother-in-law's movements and crawled to the front yard to report to the eldest lady who was still pushing cups and changing lanterns to entertain the guests. The red silk and red lanterns hadn't even been hung for a long time, and they were going to the wedding. Welcome to mourn.

The smiles on the faces of the guests also seamlessly turned into sadness and tears.

"Madam, please show your condolences."

Everyone said so, and a new round of polite greetings began.

Bai Yuzhi is sitting on the pearwood chair outside. The hijab on her head has not been taken away yet.

She heard the sound of hurried footsteps and the clack of small high heels, and then a pair of exquisite lambskin women's leather shoes appeared in her lowered gaze.

"Aren't you here to celebrate? Why did my father go right after you arrived?!"

The girl's cry was filled with strong anger, and she came to question the overjoyed Aunt Ninth.

There was a chaos of war outside, and the servants ran around in panic, took down the red lanterns, hung up the white cloth funeral lanterns, and Bai Yuzhi spoke.

"I don't know."
