Chapter 187. My honey
From the day after it was confirmed that Cheng Xuan and his party had left Kyoto.
The Bai family gradually became more and more popular, and every day people came to the door to inquire about the marriage of the Bai family's children, and even worse, they simply learned from the measures of King Anjun at the beginning, and directly carried gifts to the door to ask for marriage.
The objects of these people's marriage and inquiry are naturally different, among which the most asked are Bai Jitong, the third young master of the Bai family, Bai Jiyuan, the sixth young master, Bai Jiyi, the eighth young master, and the fourth young lady Bai Xiannan, the fifth young lady Bai Xianhua and the sixth young lady Bai Xiantong.
These six people are all over ten years old, although to be precise, only Bai Jitong, Bai Xiannan and Bai Xianhua are really old enough to talk about marriage; And Bai Jiyuan, Bai Jiyi, and Bai Xiantong are all in their early tens, and marriage doesn't have to be put on the agenda now.
But among the people who can't stand the door-to-door inquiry, many are worried that they will be too late to start and will be taken first by others.
In their opinion, since the child has grown to ten years old, it is not abrupt to talk about marriage, after all, the sooner it is settled, the sooner it is settled, the sooner it will be able to have a relationship with the Bai family and many big families who are good friends with the Bai family, and even the royal Yang family.
Think about it, if your son met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside, he could only introduce himself to who was in which room of the so-and-so family, and the prince would see so many people in one day, do you remember to live? Even if you barely remember it at the time, you won't have much intersection in the future.
After all, there are more children of the family who want to make friends with the prince, and if one counts as one, then the prince will not have enough time to make friends every day.
But if his son finalized the marriage contract with the girl of the Bai family, it would be completely different.
As soon as you meet the prince in person, you can say bluntly: Your Royal Highness the prince, I am your future brother-in-law.
In this way, are you still afraid that you will not be able to have a deep friendship with the prince?
The idea is very rich, but the reality is cruel.
From the day of August 16, the king of Anjun came to the door, and now it is the beginning of September.
In half a month, I don't know how many people came to the door, but only a few people really saw the master of the Bai family.
In the afternoon in the Zhining Temple.
Jing Wu is helping the eldest lady to handle the expenses of the inner courtyard.
The second lady rushed to Zhining Courtyard in a hurry and in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law, I'm really angry. The one from the Zhou family came again, and when she came for the first time, I told her that Xian Nan had already decided to be my mother's nephew, and I thought she heard it that time, but she didn't want to come again today, and she kept saying that I lied to her. ”
Seeing that in the past, she was a concubine who had no quarrel with the world, but today she was so annoyed and angry, the eldest lady couldn't help but rub her faintly swollen forehead and put down the account book in her hand.
The eldest lady motioned for the second lady to sit down first, and asked suspiciously: "Xian Nan's marriage, the two families have basically been finalized, and they are waiting for the sixth ceremony after the spring of the next year, which is almost a well-known thing, how can you deceive?" ”
The Bai family and the second lady's maiden family, the Wang family, have always been generous in the marriage between Bai Xiannan and the young master of the Wang family, and even the two parties did not shy away from it at all, and the attitude of the two families to be close to each other can be said to be very obvious.
Therefore, in the past few days, although there have been a lot of inquiries about Bai Xiannan's marriage, they have basically used Bai Xiannan as an excuse to make a reasonable transition to the other two Bai family ladies.
When the second lady heard the eldest lady's words, she twisted the handkerchief in her hand hatefully.
"She said that Xian Nan and my nephew didn't even have Na Cai, it was not a serious marriage contract, her family was a sister-in-law, and it was more suitable for Xian Nan than my nephew, so I didn't mess around and spoil Xian Nan's good marriage."
"Sister-in-law, do you say that this is me messing around, or is it the one of the Zhou family who is not stingy? As for her son, I'm embarrassed to say that it's a good marriage, I heard Yi'er say that he is a fat head and big ears, a fat brain, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old person, he can't even get on a horse, and he has to be carried up by four or five subordinates, just like that, I don't see where I can compare to my nephew! ”
The second lady didn't stop talking at all, and counted indignantly, obviously angry with Mrs. Zhou.
The eldest lady on the other side rubbed her forehead again, she has been annoyed by these endless door-to-door visits in the past few days.
Most of the children of the Bai family are in the big house, and the eldest lady, as the mother-in-law, naturally has to pay attention to the marriage of the girl in the big house.
Of course, the people who came to the door were far from only talking about marriage, and there were many people who did not have suitable children in the family.
The former Mrs. Dafang can still take Qiao to think about it, but the latter has to show up to express her gratitude.
At this time, the second lady told the eldest lady about these things again, and the eldest lady really didn't bother to say a word.
Jing Wu has been following the eldest lady for the past few days, and naturally understood the eldest lady's emotions in an instant.
Jing Wu first served a cup of slightly cold tea for the second lady with his hands and feet.
Then he didn't leave immediately, but stood beside the second lady and said with a smile.
"Second lady, is the lady of the Zhou family old with you?"
The second lady took the tea, drank most of the cup first, and then replied: "I just know." ”
Jing Wu said: "Why did Mrs. Zhou come to you to talk about the marriage of the fourth lady?" No matter how the marriage negotiation between the fourth miss and the young master of the Wang family goes, although you are the common elder of the fourth miss and the young master Wang, whether it is the fourth miss or the young master Wang, both parents are there, so why can't you be bothered by this. ”
"I'm afraid that Mrs. Zhou has other plans."
"Figure what? I don't have a female ......."
The sentence "daughter" was half stuck in her throat, and the second lady suddenly realized that she really didn't have a daughter, but she had a son!
And Mrs. Zhou's family not only has a son, but also a daughter who is just eight years old!
The second lady looked at Jing Wu with a complicated expression, if she remembered correctly, Jing Wu was also eight years old, but at the moment, although Jing Wu was doing things properly, he looked like a child.
She really couldn't imagine that such an older child was going to say kiss? Going to be her daughter-in-law?
"This is too anxious......", the second lady muttered.
On the other side, the eldest lady who was having a headache naturally listened to the conversation between the two in her ears, and Bai Jiyi's marriage was not her turn to worry about.
But Bai Xiannan's marriage is indeed going to speed up the progress.
In the past few years, although Bai Xiannan has occasionally rebelled, it has to be regarded as harmless.
If the original schedule is allowed to arrange Bai Xiannan's marriage, I am afraid that by the time she dies, Bai Xiannan will not yet be married.
Two years later, when my mother-in-law died, I am afraid that it will be delayed.
Her children are still young, she can only try to pave the way, as for the Lin family's daughters, their father has their own to worry about, but Bai Xiannan......
"Second brother and sister, you have to be free, write a letter to your mother's brother, it's better to pass the six rites as soon as possible, now this one, more is better than less, I'm afraid there are not a few people who have the same idea as Mrs. Zhou."
When the second lady heard this, she was stunned at first, and then quickly smiled and got up.
"Hey...... Sister-in-law, then I won't nag you, I'll go back first. ”
