Chapter 32: Heart-to-Heart Talk

Since Zhuang Kai left, Banxia has been a little absent-minded all day, let her serve tea and she will give you a bowl of water, let her pack her clothes, she will open the jewelry box and tidy it up. Bai Zhi knew that no matter how much time Banxia usually stayed, it was impossible for him to calm down when he encountered his life's events. So I discussed with Mama Li and asked Banxia to go back to her own house to rest for half a day, which also saved the difference.

Banxia tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and fell asleep in the evening, so she missed dinner. Bai Zhi put the rice on the stove where the tea was boiled and warmed it, and when the lamp was held, Banxia woke up, Bai Zhi smiled and served a bowl of rice and a platter of four dishes, and Banxia's resentment in Bai Zhi for sending her to the side room today was all dissipated at this moment.

Bai Zhi saw that Banxia didn't eat much for dinner, and she looked preoccupied, and felt that it was not a way to go on like this after all, so she asked the little girls to put away the tableware and chat with Banxia by herself.

……

"What do you think when you see that Zhuang Kaike today?" Bai Zhi asked straight to the point

"I don't understand what my sister said, and I don't know him, so why should I have any ideas." Banxia lowered her head, her face was calm, and she refused to admit that this day's soul was all for the entanglement with Zhuang Kai, Bai Zhi sighed when she saw this.

"Banxia, you and I have served the county lord since childhood, I am a year older than you, you have always called me sister, and I will treat you as my own sister. So, my sister will ask me to say a few words to you. After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Banxia again.

"We were all sold into the house with Lao Tzu Niang, although my parents are here, you also know that this marriage is not something they can do. You treat me as my sister, I only told you this confidant today, if it were someone else, I wouldn't bother with this matter at all. Bai Zhi was a little sullen when she spoke, and her words were unconsciously sharper, Banxia heard it, and knew that Bai Zhi was treating her sincerely, so she gently tugged Bai Zhi's sleeve.

"Good sister, I have no intention, don't be angry with me."

Bai Zhi saw that Banxia softened, and smiled lightly, "How can I be angry with you, I only ask you one sentence today, do you think that the county lord said that Zhuang Kai saved you, and you are wronged." After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she stared at Banxia tightly.

"Sister, where is this! This matter is nothing on our girl, at most the long-tongued women in the house chew the root of the tongue. But on the county lord...... Then the reputation of the county lord was completely ruined. Banxia never complained about Fang Yage, but was glad that she jumped down at that time, she didn't even want her life for the sake of the county lord, let alone this matter.

"It's good if you think so." Bai Zhi sighed lightly.

"Do you know that although the county lord said that Zhuang Kai saved you, he never thought of pointing you out to Zhuang Kai."

Banxia was stunned when she heard it, how could it be? Isn't it natural for them to get married for such a thing?

Bai Zhi continued: "It was also expedient for the county lord to say that at that time, you were not present, but I knew about this matter. ”

Bai Zhi slowed down for a while, stared at the candle on the table of the Eight Immortals, thought of the scene at that time, sighed, and then continued to say goodbye.

"The eldest princess wanted to marry you and Zhuang Kai on the spot, and she confirmed this matter. But...... The county lord stopped. Banxia, you have been back for such a long time, but the county lord has not mentioned a sentence to you? ”

The county lord stopped it? Why is this so? "No, the county lord never let people mention it in front of me, I thought it was the county lord who wanted to keep me for two more years, and when I turned eighteen years old, I would let Lao Tzu Niang prepare for marriage. …… Could it be that the county lord can't make other arrangements? ”

Banxia is a solid one, she feels that she and Zhuang Kai have a reputation, and it is inevitable that they will get married, but it is only a matter of time or time, she didn't think of anything else.

Bai Zhi saw Banxia's expression, and sighed again, sure enough, as she guessed, this wooden lump has not been seen until now.

"Sister tell you the truth, the county lord has been putting this matter aside and not mentioning it, just to let you choose for yourself. If you fall in love with Zhuang Kai and choose to marry him, the county lord will definitely not stop you...... However, if you don't like it and end up choosing someone else, the county lord will also make decisions for you. The county lord didn't mention it, because he was afraid that you would meet a better person in the future and regret it in his heart! In Banxia, how could other masters take the maid so hard! ”

These Banxia didn't know, and when they heard Bai Zhi say this, they were immediately moved, and covered their mouths with a handkerchief, and tears still flowed out. I didn't know what to say, but I just said: "The county lord takes us well, I have always known." ”

In fact, Fang Yage did that day, on the one hand, because he didn't want those sinister villains to get his way, so he was in a hurry to come up with Li Daitao's strategy, which made Banxia famous. On the other hand, Fang Yage couldn't bear Jin Rou's work and hurt for such a dirty thing, otherwise, Fang Yage would think more carefully and not let Banxia suffer this grievance.

However, Fang Yage never thought of sacrificing Banxia's happiness from beginning to end. After all, Bai Zhi is a girl who has served Fang Yage for many years, and she is very thoughtful, and she guesses Fang Yage's meaning without any difference.

Fang Yage thought about suppressing things first, people are forgetful, after a long time, everyone slowly stopped paying attention to this matter, and if Banxia found something satisfactory, she would explain it herself...... It is also bound to make them husband and wife happy.

……

Bai Zhi sighed and continued: "But you don't know, if you don't marry Zhuang Kai, it will bring trouble to the county lord!" In the future, if someone with a heart comes out to talk about your relatives, then if the future county master has any doubts, how should the county lord deal with himself! ”

Banxia really didn't think of this...... Yes, if Zhuang Kai really saved herself, but she didn't marry Zhuang Kai, is this in the past? If you don't get it right, you'll leave a curse. But the county lord didn't care about these and indulged himself, Banxia thought, and finally couldn't hold back her crying, Bai Zhi hurriedly patted her back and wiped her tears.

After crying for a long time, Bai Zhi saw that Banxia gradually stopped, so she asked Banxia with a straight face: "Good sister, I will only ask you this once today, but you have someone in your heart?" ”

Banxia was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and hurriedly shook his head when he understood. "Nope! Sister, what are you talking about, we sisters live and live together every day, how can I see a few people, how can my sister not know, how can there be such a conjecture. Banxia felt that Bai Zhi's suspicions were unreasonable.

"That's good, you also know that our marriage is the county lord's decision, and marrying someone is also a matter of the county lord's words, the master cherishes us, but we can't forget our identity!" Bai Zhi's eyes were a little fluttering as she spoke, as if she remembered something, and sighed.

"No matter how favored we are, we are still slaves after all! You see the few people around the eldest princess who served closely back then, one became an aunt, one married the head of the outer courtyard, and two followed the shopkeeper in the shop...... That's it, it's already a very decent marriage, and how many girls in this house are matched with a little girl! ”

"We are the personal maids of the county lord, and we are already considered to have heads and faces, and you and I have passed the year of the camp, and the rules of the house are to be released when we are eighteen years old...... Even if the county lord has mercy, it is absolutely impossible for us to wait until the county lord is old enough to marry and go out with the marriage! As he spoke, he broke off for a moment, stared deeply at Banxia, and then slowly spoke again.

"And which of us who are maids doesn't look forward to the happy marriage of the county lord, how can we rush to be that annoying aunt!"

Seeing Banxia, he nodded sympathetically, and said, "Sister's words are reasonable, my aunt looks noble, but in fact, it is an object, or a disgusting object, and our sisters must not see this clearly." Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, it's good not to have such a thought, otherwise it will chill the county lord's heart......

"Taking a step back, even if the county lord is gracious and returns our deed of sale, we can be released and marry a serious man as a lady. It's just that although you and I are girls, we grew up in the princess's mansion with fine clothes and food, and we have to say that we can't stand the hard life of ordinary people outside...... Even if you marry a rich family, if you can marry us, you will also look at the face of the princess's mansion, if you don't have the support of the county lord, you will be ridiculed by the wives who come and go for a long time, and you will be disliked by your in-laws, who will be the master for us! ”

Yixi spoke quickly and quickly, and the stakes were transparent. Banxia was speechless, and never thought much about the marriage, just thinking about obeying the arrangements of the princess and the county lord. Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi had already seen it clearly.

"I understand what my sister said, our background is low, if we don't have the favor and protection of our master, we will inevitably be angry after getting married. I didn't think much about it, I just obeyed the arrangement of the county lord, and the county lord naturally wouldn't treat our sisters badly. Banxia was inevitably apprehensive when she thought of her future, but she had confidence in Fang Yage and decided to only listen to the county lord's arrangement.

"It's exactly this ceremony, it's just that the monarch loves us, and I'm afraid that I will be wronged by Zhuang Kai, so it's neither up nor down, we have to be considerate of the county lord's hard work."

Looking at Banxia and nodded, Bai Zhi continued: "This Zhuang Kai's parents have passed away, and there is only one sister in Zhuang Jie. After speaking, he looked outside the door, but there was no one.

"Say something that shouldn't be said, you don't have to serve your in-laws when you enter the door, you rent a yard on the outer street, and live a small life behind closed doors, then Zhuang Kai is honest and good-tempered at first glance. Zhuang Jie is not young anymore, after two or three years, her sister-in-law will get married, you are the lady in charge, wouldn't life be smooth and beautiful. ”

Banxia blushed when she heard this, and said angrily: "How can my sister say such a thing, what kind of in-laws and sister-in-law." ”

"I'm telling the truth, just live a comfortable life, these parents are short, you will understand later. The most important thing is that this Zhuang Kai and Zhuang Jie saved the county lord, and the future prospects are naturally good, isn't it better than those who can't survive. In Bai Zhi's opinion, this Zhuang Kai is indeed a good choice.

Banxia heard and remembered Zhuang Kai's tall body and dark face, and suddenly blushed, and was a little embarrassed. When Bai Zhi saw it, she laughed softly and didn't make a sound, and Banxia, who was laughing straight, didn't follow it, and came over to tickle Bai Zhi, and the two laughed for a while before rearranging their clothes.

"Good sister, if you can figure it out, it's not in vain for me to say this chase today, if you figure it out, tell Sister SΓΉ, I and Mama Li have to worry about other things for you, you don't have to be ashamed, this is a lifelong event after all."

Hearing Bai Zhi say this, Banxia circled the lotus-colored handkerchief around his fingers, and said slowly: "Since my sister said that he is good, I think it should be good...... If the county lord asks me to marry...... I would never say a word. After saying a paragraph, his face was already red enough to drip blood.

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words, my sister doesn't have to think about anything, my sister promises to let you marry in style!" As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked out, and went to discuss with Zhuang Jie and Mama Li. Banxia buried her face in the quilt alone and didn't lift it up for half a day.

Listening to Bai Zhi's words, Zhuang Jie and Mama Li were overjoyed, Mama Li was happy that once Banxia's marriage was finalized, she would go to the county lord to mention the marriage of the girls, and then ask for her son to marry Bai Zhi. Zhuang Jie is heart of a big stone to the ground, Banxia is a good woman, and it is also a blessing for her brother to marry her, and the matter of the pond falling into the water will really end with this marriage. The three of them discussed for a long time, and decided to let Zhuang Kai propose to the county lord half a month later, which was also more respectful.
