After the Republic of China

Chapter 22
The main house of the Shao family was arranged according to marrying the main house's concubine, so the furniture and furnishings in it could be worse.

Shao Xiuxue used to sneak in and take a peek when she was a child, but now she is quite proud to be able to own it openly.

She was proud in her heart, but she looked surprised everywhere on her face.

"Look at your potential, it's just a tent embroidery, catch up with Ming Shu embroidery, Hunan embroidery, double-sided embroidery of Jiangnan brocade,..., this house can have everything." Bai glanced at her daughter, facing the vanity mirror, and continued to wipe away. skin care products.

Shao Xiuxue didn't take Bai's words to heart at all, and just continued to look at the furnishings in the house.

"Hey, this smells good. Is it a new product from Rongji Department Store?" Shao Xiuxue, who was looking around, suddenly smelled a strong fragrance.

Bai Shi waved his hand triumphantly.

"Ah, Die An, this is very expensive, Mom is really willing to do it now." Shao Xiuxue jumped up to Bai Shi.

Knowing that her mother didn't have much knowledge, Shao Xiuxue took off the embroidery and moved in front of Bai Shi, planning to pick some face cream to see if it was real or not.

Seeing her yelling anxiously, Mrs. Bai hastily covered the face cream bottle.

Seeing her like this, Shao Xiuxue immediately lifted her hand, pouted and said, "Look at you being a stingy man, someone else gave you it, right?"

Her heartless words made Bai Shi slightly embarrassed.Fortunately, Shao Xiuxue didn't pay attention, otherwise the Bai family would definitely reveal her secrets.

Mrs. Bai wanted to preach to her daughter, but she was afraid that her daughter would ask about the origin of the cream, so she changed the subject and said, "Whoever is stingy, these are nothing. Later, I will become the wife of the main house. You can buy whatever you want."

"It's true, as long as we can get the good of the old lady, this family is not all ours." Shao Xiuxue couldn't help but feel very happy when thinking about the morning greeting, "At that time, let's see how that dead girl Shao Yunshi will be so frightened."

When Miss Shao was mentioned, Bai's face changed, and she sneered, "You damn girl, wait and see how I deal with her when I gain power. Bah! She's a mother-born but not mother-raised bitch."

Shao Xiuxue knew a little bit about Bai's plan, and she felt proud when she saw her mother gnashing her teeth and cursing.

Probably, the mother and daughter of the Bai family had said too many presumptuous and impolite words to each other.

At this moment, Shao Xiuxue listened to her mother's vulgar abuse, not only did she not feel ashamed, she even hummed proudly.

"Grandma, let's gain power, that housekeeper Xiaozhang, it's better to get out of here." Shao Xiuxue rolled her eyes and suggested.

For the butler Xiaozhang, Bai's teeth were itchy with hatred, "Change, it must be changed, the old housekeeper Zhang is in charge of the old house, so let the butler Xiaozhang stay and do his filial piety."

Shao Xiuxue was overjoyed when she heard this. She had long been dissatisfied with Butler Xiaozhang for coercing them everywhere.

Everything went smoothly, Shao Xiuxue became courageous, pretending to complain: "Mom, why do you have to ask your cousin to come with you to celebrate the New Year? You made the New Year's gift that Yan Quan promised to give me, and there is nowhere to put it."

Yan Quan is the natal nephew of Yan's wife, the wife of the Director of Education in Beiping, and has been fond of Shao Xiuxue since she was a child.

Yan Quan, who came from a gentry family, is personable and good at chasing girls.

The Bai family is still very satisfied with Yan Quan, who was born as a gentry, and is more willing for her daughter to have multiple courtesies.

Then, upon hearing this, she smiled and said: "Mr. Yan is so eager to care for you, are you still afraid of missing gifts? He won't let your cousin give it away, and he will definitely keep it well, and give it to you when you go back." .”

After all, it's because the girl from the Xiao family has little knowledge, and her vision is small, so the Bai family is not shy about talking about other men with her daughter.

Faintly, she still has the meaning of agitating pride.

Shao Xiuxue didn't think anything wrong with Bai's words, and she was also confident, "Didn't I want to receive it earlier? Putting it on my cousin means that I have received it."

Seeing her daughter mentioning her nephew again and again, Bai Shi nodded helplessly, "I have my own intentions about your cousin's affairs, so just leave it alone."

Shao Xiuxue hurriedly asked Bai Shi, "Mom, what's your intention?"

After finishing speaking, she thought of a certain possibility, and her face darkened.

Regarding her daughter's questioning, Bai didn't intend to say anything. She knew that her daughter was a little impatient, and she was afraid that her usual complacency would show signs, so she evaded a few words perfunctorily.

Seeing her mother's reluctance to say more, Shao Xiuxue became more and more convinced of her guess, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "You don't really want to take advantage of that girl Shao Yunshi, do you?"

Shao Xiuxue was not dissatisfied with Shao Yunshi at all. She even wished that Shao Yunshi never existed.

Therefore, she was very repulsed by her mother's arrangement.

Knowing that her daughter has always had low self-esteem because of her background, Mrs. Bai herself also has low self-esteem for not being able to become a regular wife.

It was better in Beiping. No one knew that the wife she was marrying was just a second wife.

But when she returned to Yangzhou, she was never able to attend the wives of the family.

Thinking of this, Bai Shi secretly gritted her teeth, "I won't take advantage of that bitch."

"But you can't lose my cousin for nothing." Shao Xiuxue was possessive of her cousin.

Knowing what was going on in her daughter's mind, Mrs. Bai pulled her daughter seriously, and confessed in a low voice: "I brought your cousin here just to deal with that girl. Don't meddle in this matter, as long as you know."

Shao Xiuxue was not satisfied at all when she heard that her mother really planned as she had guessed, and said angrily: "Mom, that country bumpkin hasn't been to a new school for a day, so he hooked up with just anyone, why bother to tire cousin."

"What do you know! This is just a stopgap measure." Bai scolded.

"Hmph, I think mom really has this plan, otherwise, my aunt would not agree to my cousin coming to Yangzhou." Shao Xiuxue was indignant.

Seeing the jealousy on her daughter's face, Bai's heart skipped a beat.

Although my daughter is only 15 years old, she was born with tall head, fair skin, and foreign-style clothes. At first glance, she was sixteen or seventeen.

In this era, most of them got engaged and got married when they were sixteen or seventeen.

Bai Shi was a little flustered, took her daughter's hand, and asked cautiously: "Xiuxiu, your cousin didn't say anything to you, did he?"

Mrs. Bai still knows the suave-looking nephew.Moreover, I came here when I was young, so I don't know about the things between boys and girls.

Therefore, she was also afraid that her daughter would be fooled by her nephew's appearance.

Although Shao Xiuxue was already in love, she didn't think too much about it after all, she just didn't like her cousin being courteous to Shao Yunshi.

Then, seeing that my mother was very nervous, thinking that she was afraid that she would ruin their plan, I couldn't help but get even more angry.

Then, she threw Bai's hand away, and said in a harsh voice: "I'm so annoying, what did I say, you are so nervous, okay, okay, I don't care."

After finishing speaking, she kicked her foot and left in a fit of anger.

Seeing her daughter losing her temper again, Bai could only sigh.

However, she was relieved to know that her daughter hadn't thought much about it yet.

The bright and dazzling ceiling lights correspond to the bright and gorgeous tiles of the main house.

Bai Shi relaxed, looking at the tables, chairs and various decorations in the main room, she became proud again.

Bai's mind was relieved, thinking that her daughter was about to reach the age of engagement, the smile on her face faded a little, her eyes dimmed, for the sake of her children, she should make up her mind about some things.

She glanced at Tassel who was thrown away by her daughter's tantrum, and felt that her daughter was childish and cute.However, her daughter should be like this, and everything I do for her is worth it.
