Bai Qianning glanced out the window with his peripheral vision, then stood up and took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his sleeve pocket and handed it to He Shuanggen and said: "That's it, I won't let you lose it in vain, you take this one hundred taels of silver, with the silver, what daughter-in-law do you want?" As long as you promise not to pester Xiumei in the future, when she becomes my cousin-in-law, I can also point you to a money-making business, which will not be less than ten taels a month, how about it? If you answer, you can take the hundred taels of silver now. ”

Listening to Bai Qianning's words, and looking at the silver in her hand, He Shuanggen was silent for a long time, and at the end, he suddenly raised his head, and his dark pupils glowed in the candlelight.

"I don't want this silver, and I won't do the work on the farm, as for your distant relative who wants to marry Xiumei...... I listen to her, you're right, Xiumei can marry a better one, if she agrees, I will never delay her. It's too late, I ...... I'll go first! ”

After he finished speaking, his expression was full of loss, and his originally tall body also looked a little depressed, and the tears that he had endured for a long time had slipped down when he turned around.

Xu Xiumei couldn't hold back any longer, pushed the door open with a bang, and stood in front of He Shuanggen with her head up, speechless, but her tears seemed to be flooding.

Bai Qianning had long expected such a scene, and seeing his temptation, he made both of them cry, and walked over a little embarrassed and said, "Don't worry, come in." ”

He Shuanggen looked at Xu Xiumei, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, turned around and stood side by side with her, stared at Bai Qianning with red eyes and said, "I don't think I need to, I'll send Xiumei back first." ”

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave with Xu Xiumei, Bai Qianning was afraid that if he didn't explain clearly, he might make something like martyrdom and elopement if he let the two of them out, so he hurriedly stepped forward and closed the door to block the way of the two.

"What I just said is all false, and those who deliberately provoke you will come back and sit down and listen to me."

Bai Qianning said, pulled Xu Xiumei back to the sofa and sat down, and then looked at He Shuanggen, who was still standing in a trance and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Come and sit here. ”

Only then did the two of them believe Bai Qianning's words, and He Shuanggen also hurriedly walked over and sat on the single sofa next to him.

"Alright, stop crying! It's all my fault, isn't it? ”

Bai Qianning took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears for Xu Xiumei, and explained: "I just want to try the determination of the two of you, it is not possible to marry without a little courage and sincerity, especially Xiumei, you are young, I am also worried about you, and I alone to persuade your father, even if he agrees, it is in the way, if you want to really get the promise and blessing of your father, you have to rely on yourself, if you can live a prosperous life in the future, they will not regret not stopping you, right?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Xiumei and He Shuanggen understood Bai Qianning's intentions.

Xu Xiumei was annoyed that she had misunderstood her, so she nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Qian, I just ......."

"I'm sorry for which round of you?"

Bai Qianning smiled, turned his head to look at He Shuanggen, who was full of embarrassment but was extremely happy, and asked, "You have a very hard attitude?" Why didn't I see you being so tough when I said I wanted Xiumei to be my cousin-in-law? ”

When He Shuanggen heard this, he thought that his retreating attitude made Bai Qianning dissatisfied, so he quickly explained: "I, I don't want to delay Xiumei, if it's ......"

"If what, if so? Let me tell you, two people who really like it should do their best to be together, don't say anything that is not worthy. Whatever fulfills the other party's words, it is all for the devil. If you really like Xiumei, work hard, and let your father and mother bring the dowry to Xiumei's house tomorrow. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Qianning couldn't help but be stunned, and even a little envious of these two people, their affection for each other was written in their eyes, but anyone with a clear eye could see it clearly. But what about Qianche? Under his eyes, it has always been ten thousand years of ice, even if he said a lot of love in his mouth, Bai Qianning only dared to confirm one point.

He Shuanggen saw that her expression had changed, but he didn't know what she was thinking, so he just nodded and said, "I'll go to propose marriage tomorrow, but my father and mother...... Twenty years ago, my father married another man, so he kicked me and my mother out, and then my mother also died, and I am afraid that I am the only one who wants to propose. ”

When Bai Qianning heard this, he knew that He Shuanggen still had such a life experience, so he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I don't know about this, but don't worry, tomorrow I will come to me first, and I will accompany you when the time comes." ”

Hearing this, He Shuanggen didn't say anything, but Xu Xiumei couldn't help but get excited: "Really? Sister Qian, will you really call the shots for us? My dad listens to you the most. ”

Bai Qianning looked at her like this, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm really not ashamed, I won't be allowed to do this in front of your father tomorrow." ”

"Oh, I know!"

Xu Xiumei hurriedly shook Bai Qianning's hand with a coquettish face and said, "Then I'll ask Sister Qian tomorrow." ”

"Hmm!"

Bai Qianning rolled his eyes at her, then handed the silver ticket in his hand to He Shuanggen and said, "You take this silver first, and you can hire it tomorrow." ”

He Shuanggen hurriedly excused himself and said, "How can this work? I...... I have silver. ”

Seeing him like this, Bai Qianning didn't give him a chance to return it, stuffed the silver ticket into his hand and said: "Just when I lend it to you, take these silver tickets to get hired, the village will not look down on you, you don't want to be pointed at and say that Xiumei is unobedient, right?" ”

Bai Qianning has been in the village for a long time, and he knows very well that people's words are terrifying. And He Shuanggen didn't know how many unpleasant words he had been slandered openly and secretly because he hadn't married for many years, and he also understood Bai Qianning's intentions at the moment, stood up with the silver ticket in his hand, bowed to Bai Qianning very solemnly, and said: "I He Shuanggen remember the kindness of the white girl, if there is a place for me one day......

"Alright! Don't worry, you'll be busy in a few days. ”

Bai Qianning hurriedly interrupted him, stood up and said: "I don't think it's too early, you go back first, Xiumei, I will send her back, just say that I will leave her to talk to me, I didn't pay attention to the delay for a while, and her father and mother will not be suspicious." ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good!" He Shuanggen said yes repeatedly, and thanked him a few words before leaving.

When he left, Bai Qianning also sent Xu Xiumei back as he said.

The person was sent home, and Bai Qianning walked towards his house alone.

It was late at night, and the village was silent, except for the occasional barking of dogs.

Fortunately, the road was not far, humming a small tune to strengthen her courage, and soon she entered the courtyard.

Just as she was about to insert the pin of the courtyard door back to the house, she felt a cold touch on her shoulder, and she subconsciously turned her head to see a sharp sword straight on her shoulder.

No way! Again?

Bai Qianning couldn't help but secretly scream to himself, so he sent Gongsun Qi away, how could he kill a bull ghost and snake god who likes to point a sword at someone else's neck?

But fortunately, with the experience of the last time, she didn't panic too much, just slowly straightened up, and then asked the person behind her, "Who are you?" What's the matter with me? ”

Strange thing, there was a strange silence behind him, if it weren't for the sword still hanging over his shoulder, Bai Qianning would have thought that the person had already left.

"Hey! This benevolent brother? You...... Do you rob money or sex? ”

Bai Qianning asked him tentatively again, but there was still silence behind him, and soon, even the sword on his shoulder lost its sense of existence.

"Hey! I'm still young, old above, young below, good in the middle, what grudges do you have to tell me, don't do it! ”

Bai Qianning asked, slowly turned his head, and saw that there was no one behind him, but under the careful sniffing, there was a burst of plum fragrance that drifted into Bai Qianning's nose with the rolling wind because of the departure of the figure.

Bai Qianning sniffed the familiar plum fragrance, turned around inexplicably, and didn't see half a figure again, she could only go back to the house first, light the lamp, and sit down and think for a long time.

It stands to reason that no one has seen Zhan Qianche since he came back from being injured, and that person should not have been sent by the Dog Emperor, and Bai Shao has Gongsun Qi in the middle of the contact, so it is naturally impossible to send someone again, so who is this person?

Just thinking about it, Bai Qianning saw half of the footprints left on the stove. Because she had just washed the fruit, and there were still traces of water on the stove, the footprints proved that someone must have come in when she was away.
