Chapter 4: Thoughts

This person is someone sent by the Zhao family.

It's someone from Mrs. Baida's side.

Old Madam Su was already sitting in the hall, and under them sat Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su, and Mrs. Su. Each person had a cup of tea on the rosewood table at hand.

Through a screen of rich peonies, you can vaguely see people kneeling on the ground. The man was stocky and out of breath.

"Say hello to the old lady, say hello to the eldest lady, the second lady and the third lady."

"You've been in a hurry along the way, what do you mean by your aunt and grandmother, and talk about it well." Mrs. Su spoke politely, with a gentle smile in her words. Auntie refers to the eldest lady of the Bai family who has been married, so they all call aunt and grandmother.

The little maid hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and after getting up, he bowed and stood up: "What my aunt and grandmother mean: Sister Qiao has been in Qianjiang for seven years, and I am afraid that she has already been familiar with it, regardless of Sister Qiao'er's habit of taking it back, I am afraid of making Sister Qiao unhappy." Let the old lady and the ladies take a look to see if there is a suitable person, although Sister Qiao is younger, she has to take a closer look. ”

This was expected, but it also came a little earlier than expected. Old Madam Su's eyes swept over several daughters-in-law, and she already had an idea under her eyes. In fact, as early as the beginning of this year, the Su family felt that the Zhao family was probably interested in letting Bai Qiao marry in Qianjiang.

Mrs. Su glanced at Mrs. Su and suddenly understood. After pursing his lips, he pulled out a smile: "You must be tired from running all the way, Cui'er!" ”

Cui'er hurriedly "belched", walked out of the screen, and smiled at the visitor: "The mother-in-law outside is really ignorant, let your clothes get wet like this, come here first, please come with me." ”

The people of the Zhao family left, and Second Lady Su finally stopped holding her handkerchief, "Old Master Bai is General Ning Yuan, I'm afraid that ordinary people in Qianjiang can't look down on it." Moreover, the people with some official positions in Qianjiang are afraid that they can't look down on Sister Qiao, this is really a tricky job! My aunt and grandmother are used to embarrassing others. ”

"Who says it's not~ This person is really hard to find. If Sister Qiao is more competitive, it is easy to find the lintel if she can hold it up, but Sister Qiao looks like a submissive person, and serious people are afraid that they don't like it. Mrs. Su San echoed. She has always been reluctant to pay attention to Sister Qiao'er's affairs, and it is not a good thing to ignore it.

Mrs. Su's heart sank, looked at Mrs. Su, and said tentatively: "Mother, why don't you wait for the letter from the Bai family?" Sister Qiao'er doesn't look at each other as a trivial matter, and she can't handle it well, but I'm afraid that Master Bai will not be able to explain it. "It's a big deal to look at each other, even if you don't care about it for seven years, you won't care about such a big thing as getting married. The most important thing is that they haven't gotten an exact letter from the Bai family in the past seven years, and they don't know the bottom of their hearts.

Old Madam Su nodded with a calm face, "Wait two more days." "Even if you are in-laws with the Zhao family, this kind of thing that will offend the Bai family, the Su family can't do it. The Su family is a first-class merchant family in Qianjiang, and there is no shortage of wealth and wealth, but there are very few children in the clan who take official careers, and they must not offend the military generals of the Bai family.

Mrs. Su nodded, and everyone's hearts were relaxed, and Mrs. Su breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of tea from her cup.

"The second family, the third family, you go back first." This matter was decided, and Mrs. Su directly issued an eviction order. Second Lady Su was unwilling to stay here for long, so she immediately bowed and curtsied. Mrs. Su San glanced at Mrs. Su, shook her handkerchief, saluted and left.

Seeing that everyone had left, Mrs. Su lowered her voice, "Find a few people, and release the news that you want to show Sister Qiao first." ”

Mrs. Su was slightly stunned: "Don't you wait for the news of the Bai family?" ”

"Naturally, we have to wait, the Su family is also a first-class family in Qianjiang, even if we want to get married, we have to be willing, we can't let our Su family come to the door, and hate the relationship over the years."

"Yes." Mrs. Su nodded.

"Is Brother Ping back?"

"Already went to the letter. Mother doesn't ......" Mrs. Su was startled and couldn't sit still.

"Guess what?" Old Madam Su's face suddenly sank, and she glared at Mrs. Su, "Brother Ping, but it is the hope of our Su family, how can I beat Brother Ping'er's idea." But isn't there a Lin family's sister-in-law Lin Shu by Brother Ping'er's side, Master Lin himself is a showman, and he can also be ranked in Qianjiang, Lin Shu plans to take a career in office, and it's not that he can't think about it. ”

As soon as she heard that it was not her son, Mrs. Su nodded again and again. Brother Ping is planning to take the test in the hospital this fall, as long as it passes, it will be a show, and when the time comes, the entire Qianjiang, Brother Ping is the first at such an age!

Seeing that Mrs. Su nodded, Mrs. Su waved her hand. It's been a headache for so many things lately.

Seeing this, Mrs. Su hurriedly bent her knees and left.

Bai Qiao's master and servant are the most non-existent in this Su family, so Bi Tao clearly felt the time of the change of shifts, and easily slipped out of the corner door. After selling the jewelry outside, I bought a small box and came back.

Bai Qiao moved a small pestle and sat at the door after leaving Bi Tao, wandering the world. It's like I'm dreaming, and I don't seem to be asleep. Since the thunderstorm that night, the weather has cleared, the sky has become hotter, and the cicadas have been chirping. Xu is which girl lives closer to this, and in the morning I saw the maid running around with a sticky stick.

"Miss, I didn't change much money, I only got two taels of silver." Bi Tao was cozy, she walked several places, and only in this shop was soft and hard foam did she give two taels of silver.

Bai Qiao closed his eyes and didn't open them, and lazily said "um".

Two taels of silver is really small, but fortunately, it is enough to buy a box.

"It took two taels to buy this box, and there was nothing left. Why did the young lady buy such a thing? Isn't it a waste? It's useless for us to ask for this. Bi Tao held the small box in her hand and complained. The young lady doesn't remember the past, and her brain is stupid. In her opinion, she should find a gentleman to write a letter to the master!

"Bi Tao, is this what you should say to your young lady?"

Bi Tao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly knelt on the ground, her heart trembling. In the past, the young lady did not dare to speak up, and she depended on her for her life, and she did not feel anything. Later, the young lady lost her memory, and she was so good at talking these days that she almost forgot that she was a slave.

"Old Madam Su's birthday is still three days away?" Changing his posture leisurely, Bai Qiao was still leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. This small side room is very cold without sunlight, but it relieves the heat and is very comfortable.

"Yes." Bi Tao didn't dare to ask any more questions, and answered honestly with her head down.

"Well, let's get the box inside." She didn't need to see what the box looked like, it didn't matter what it looked like. What she wanted was for the Su family to see Bi Tao sneak out and sell all the jewelry, and exchange all the silver money for a box.

She wants to get back the jade cicada left by her mother.

Bi Tao stepped into the room with the box in her hand, carefully wrapped the box and put it in the cabinet next to the bed. After putting it away, I took a rag and began to wipe all over the house.

Bai Qiao continued to be confused, listening to the cicadas in a daze.
