Chapter Eighty-Eight
Bai was not infected by Guan Zhuofan's deliberately contrived "warm love", and was silent.
After a while, Guan Zhuofan said tentatively: "Shuangshuang, what do you say? ”
"But, how old is Xiao Yun? She is still a child, alone tens of thousands of miles away......" Bai's eyes were red, and she was already crying.
Guan Zhuofan was a little panicked: "Shuangshuang, Shuangshuang, don't worry!" Am I not talking to you? If you don't want to, I will never insist that Xiao Yun go abroad, and there is no need for a little reluctance! ”
The tears that were almost pouring out of the Bai family finally returned.
Guan Zhuo secretly sighed.
Before, Bai was happy and admired his "little international student" plan, that is because it is not about himself, so he can have an attitude of objective appreciation - in fact, it is not much "objective", in principle, she is "appreciative" of Guan Zhuofan's ideas.
Her few words about "a few children" and "poor families" are her more real thoughts, and they are all "to the point" -- the current Bai Shuangshuang is a rich and glorious lady of Zhenguo, but she is not a "poor family", and there are not a few children - not a single child.
Therefore, how can she be willing to send her only sister who can be regarded as her own to thousands of miles away, for fifteen years?
The difference between men and women is not the point for Bai.
"Shuangshuang, you listen to me first-" Guan Zhuofan said calmly, "I'll say it again: we're discussing, if you don't want to, I will never send Xiao Yun out, and I don't want to have a little reluctance-okay?" ”
Bai nodded hesitantly.
There was a pause. Guan Zhuofan said: "I know. Xiao Yun is your only blood relative. The eldest sister is like a mother, you actually treat her as your own daughter, who has changed after more than ten years...... I can't bear it! I can fully understand this state of mind of yours! ”
"But if Yun gets to the U.S. -- I mean if -- you don't have to worry about no one to take care of her. Well, you're in the United States, isn't there two more...... Foreign sister? ”
Bai Shi was stunned for a moment. Only then did he react: "You mean...... Sister Ya and Sister Mi? ”
"Yes, I think, just let Xiao Yun live with the two of them, Jacqueline and Mia, they must treat Xiao Yun as their own sister."
After a pause, he said: "That house is big enough, and the girls and servants are all ready-made-add a personal maid to Xiao Yun!" Hehe, she is in her own home, but she doesn't have her own maid! In short, you can rest assured. Xiao Yun will definitely not be wronged at all! ”
Bai Shi said softly: "I...... Not worried about that. Besides, she's really going out. It's to read, it's not to ...... Children, enjoy the above, it's not good to get used to her too much. ”
Guan Zhuofan listened to her tone, seemed to be relaxed, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "You can't let Xiao Yun be wronged!" Shuangshuang, you know, I'm in the United States, I have a lot of friends, all of them are dignitaries, my sister is gone, who doesn't want to take care of it? Including President Lincoln! Foreigners respect women more than us Chinese! Xiao Yun was in China, so she had to stay at home, she didn't go out of the door, she didn't step out of the second door, and when she arrived in the United States, she was really a princess! ”
When Bai Shi heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face: "You have a mouth......
Guan Zhuofan said in a very solemn and sincere tone: "Shuangshuang, none of my words are fooling you. Actually, that's not the most important thing—"
At this point, he deliberately stopped.
Sure enough, Bai's heart was lifted by him: "What else...... Is it more important? ”
"Yes!" Guan Zhuofan's tone became even more solemn, and it was almost "heavy" Cheng Dù, "Although Xiao Yun is also reading now, no matter how much she reads, no matter how good she is, she is just like Lin Daiyu - when she reaches the age of breaking melons, she has to get married, and whether she has a good life depends on who she marries?" If you meet someone who is not ladylike, it will really be a lifetime of tears! I can't be the master of my own life! ”
Bai's body trembled, and he whispered, "With you, you can't ...... Let her marry unsatisfactory, right? ”
"Alas, Shuangshuang, I can only guarantee the fame and title of my brother-in-law, and the rest—let's put it this way, there are some things, such as temper and body bones, if you don't marry them, you will never know the details!"
Bai Shi was silent, Guan Zhuofan's words, she felt empathy and irrefutable. This is the case with her own husband, Guan Zhuofan's eldest brother. Before she married into the Guan family, her fiancé's body and bones were actually no longer good - but she didn't know.
Bai sighed softly.
Guan Zhuofan saw her meaning, as if he was further loosened, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "So, I must be the master of my own life!" Xiao Yun returned from studying abroad, but she is a female official! In the future, it is not uncommon to be a female waiter and a female scholar! Xiao Yun at that time, who didn't respect and admire? It's called 'Count your own life, do your own master'! Well, if you can't keep my sister, you can still be the Minister of Military Aircraft! In that case, we in China will really have a female prime minister! ”
Bai Shi snorted and said, "You are too ......."
For a while, I couldn't find the right words on my lips, so I had to stop.
Guan Zhuofan still had a straight face, looking solemn: "Shuangshuang, Xiao Yun is surnamed Bai!" When the time comes, the glorious ancestors will be glorious, and the glorious ones will be the ancestors of your Bai family! ”
This prospect was so good that Bai couldn't help but feel slightly dizzy.
She hung her head and said nothing.
The long eyelashes covered her eyes, Guan Zhuofan couldn't tell her mood at the moment, and he didn't dare to urge her, so he had to wait patiently.
After a long while, Bai finally said softly: "Zhuo Fan, I ...... now." I really can't make up my mind, you let me think about it, Ming'er-I'll reply to you, okay? ”
Guan Zhuofan felt slightly disappointed, but of course he couldn't express it, nodded and said, "Okay, you think about it slowly, don't be in a hurry about this matter." ”
Bai's voice lowered: "Tonight, you go to Ming's place, I'll ......"
Speaking of which, the flour is reddish.
Guan Zhuofan was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I won't come to Luo to you, you ...... Think slowly. ”
Bai Shi said lightly "um" and said, "Speaking of Ming's, I think of something - what about Xiaohu?" Are you going to send him out of the sea, too? ”
Guan Zhuofan was stunned again: he hadn't thought about this problem.
After a deep sigh, he said, "You can ask what Ming means—but, I think, Ming is ...... I can't bear to give up the little tiger. ”
After a pause, he said, "I'm not in a hurry about this, I'll talk about it later." ”
Bai understood what Guan Zhuofan meant: wait for her to answer Xiao Yun's matter, and then talk about it.
That night, Guan Zhuofan did not "go to Ming's place" as Bai said, but slept alone in his west wing. King Xuanjun felt that it was necessary to keep the empty boudoir alone, this, Mrs. Zhenguo must be soft tonight, if he is-hehe, it is not suitable, it is not suitable.
