After a cold wind blew for a while, Bai Ling pulled Bai Cao back to her room and sat and talked.

It's winter, so don't get sick.

Drinking hot tea, Bai Ling told Bai Cao about the Xiao family, and in Bai Cao's distressed eyes, Bai Ling's unhappiness was also cured.

"Bai Wei's fiery temperament, she has always been brainless when she speaks, and I don't want to be serious with her. She didn't want to expose her eldest sister's scars today, she just wanted to prove that this family has today, and it is not my credit alone, which I have always admitted. ”

Bai Ling pillowed on Bai Cao's shoulders and said softly:

"I originally planned to talk to my eldest sister about this matter, so as not to let my eldest sister marry into the capital and hear bad rumors, and she will not be able to deal with it."

"Then the Xiao family is too deceitful, second sister, you are the county lord, that is recognized by the royal family, how dare they ......" Rao is a woman like Baicao who rarely has contact with the outside world, and she also knows that Mrs. Xiao is excessive, and she is speechless with anger.

"Eldest sister don't be angry, my refusal that day must have made Mrs. Xiao angry, this beam can't be unraveled, and I also hate her. As for Xiao Gongzi, it doesn't matter if I can continue to cooperate in the future, I am not short of that little income, if I am in a hurry, I will cooperate with the opponent of the Xiao family, they will regret it. ”

It really doesn't matter if Bai Ling is there, it's just that Xiao Mu's love for jade touched Bai Ling, so there was cooperation.

Thinking of Xiao Muqing, Bai Ling frowned.

"As for Xiao Muqing, if the eldest sister has to deal with her in the future, she can get by on the surface, so be more guarded."

"What did Miss Xiao do to you badly?" Isn't that ungrateful?

"The capital is not as deep as Nanshan Village, where the water is too deep, especially the women in the back house, and the tidying day is either a comparison or a small means. I have already told Shangguan that before you get married, you will send an old lady with ability, and the eldest sister will be able to mention it in the capital in the future, so you can use it with confidence. ”

Bai Ling said, feeling that he was really what Bai Liu's family said, it was a worrying life.

It's obviously a sister, and she has no less to worry about than being a mother.

"But the eldest sister also keeps an eye on everything, although she says that she is not suspicious of employing people, but she doesn't want to let the people below know everything, and she can't just reuse one person.

Brother-in-law treats you well, but you should hold on to what you should hold, at least be self-reliant. Three from the four virtues is the shackles imposed on women by the world, I hope that the eldest sister lives happily, lives freely, and is not bound by the rules. ”

The sisters talked until late at night, and they fell asleep tired, and they didn't know where to speak.

Although the sisters have their own houses, they also live in a large courtyard.

The Bai Ling sisters entered the house together, and they didn't turn off the lights all night, Bai Wei knew it, and the original apology gradually went out.

Bai Cao is the eldest sister in the end, she has taken her younger brothers and sisters since she was a child, and although she was tired after staying up in the middle of the night, she still went to talk to Bai Wei once.

It's just that only she knows how much Bai Wei can listen to.

For a few days, Bai Wei was nested in her room, and unless someone went to look for her, she couldn't see anyone at all.

Bai Ling did not show abnormality because of Bai Wei's matter, but it made the family feel more sorry for her, and Bai Liu's family often pulled Bai Ling to talk, afraid that she would vomit sick.

The end of the year is approaching, and every household is busy, ready to buy New Year's goods.

There are many good things in the Bai family's treasury, and there are many New Year's gifts received, but it is really busy to prepare return gifts, as well as New Year's gifts to the elders, rewards from the subordinates and long-term workers in the family, and dividends from the workshop.

"Second sister, Brother Chu Wen is here, over there in the hall, it seems that he is looking for you." Bai Xiaoshan showed his little head and said at the door.

"Well, I'll put on a big hat and go over, you go to the village to find a friend to play. It's hard to take a vacation, don't hold on to books all day. Bai Ling said with a smile.

Since Bai Wei said those words that day, the Bai family couldn't treat Chu Wen the same way before, and they didn't take the initiative to invite Chu Wen to be a guest.

Bai Ling is about to get married, and it is impossible for Chu Wen to take a fancy to Bai Ling.

Bai Ling has always disliked to wear complicated dresses at home, a pink muslin skirt, covered with a rabbit fur coat, and two twist braids at random, just tie them with a head rope.

Chu Wen was doing business outside, and he was dressed differently than before.

In the past two years, he has grown up quickly, and the family has not prepared new clothes, and he is still wearing a satin robe outside, and the neckline is gray squirrel skin, but it has a bit of the taste of a son.

Where can you still see that Chu Wen once wore patched clothes to hunt in the mountains, and he looked like a peasant boy who didn't even have a few pennies on his body.

"I'm going to look for you and explain to you about a few shops."

Chu Wen, who was talking to Bai Sanshu and his family, saw Bai Ling coming in the door, so he pushed the box across the table.

"This is the account book, as well as the deed, and the silver has been deposited into your account, and I have already saved the share you said you would give me."

"Brother Chu Wen, I am relieved, otherwise I would not have handed over this matter to you. I was busy a few years ago, but now that Brother Chu Wen is here, I will stay and have a drink with my father, and let my father find a reason to be lazy for a long time. ”

Bai Ling untied the big sword and handed it to the girl, rubbed his hands and sat beside Bai Liu's side.

Bai Sanshu looked at the two children who spoke naturally, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart.

At the beginning, they were optimistic about Chu Wen, and they really had the intention to let the two children be together, but unfortunately the third room was not worthy of the Chu family at that time.

Now that Bai Ling has a recognized person, they naturally won't say anything more.

"What Bai Ling said is that you two may not have seen each other for a long time, so you will stay for a meal today, and I don't know when we will meet next time." Bai Yanagi smiled and beckoned his subordinates to arrange the meal.

"Invite your parents and them too. Didn't the two boys of the eldest brother's family not want to study anymore and want to go out to see the world? Let them talk to Chu Wen, maybe they can learn something. Bai Sanshu looked at Bai Liu's Dao.

"Yes, they are all their own families, they are about the same age, and they can talk together."

Bai Liu nodded, and pulled Bai Ling Dao:

"Your eldest and second uncle came back with a letter, it is estimated that it will take a few days to get home, and you won't be happy to let them go out again next year, your grandma is not sure."

"I'll go over with my mother, and I just happened to ask the two aunts, the shop in the town is doing well, see if they want to open another one, and it will be easier to do it when they split up in the future."

Before Bai Ling could sit down, he followed Bai Liu's family to the ground.

"Brother Chu Wen, I'll take the time to look at these things, and we'll talk about them before you go out in the next year."

"Okay, there's no rush in business, I'll come to you again when the time comes, and you, the big owner, can give you a few more words." Chu Wen nodded and said jokingly.

Seeing Bai Ling leave, this time his eyes were much clearer.

Knowing that it is impossible, then stay by her side and do something, and share some of it for her.

Bai Sanshu has been paying attention to Chu Wen's expression, for fear that he will not be able to let go, so he will have to communicate less.

"By the way, Third Uncle, I'll go south this time......" Chu Wen quickly looked away and spoke to Bai Sanshu calmly, as if the gaze on Bai Ling just now did not exist.

Seeing Chu Wen like this, Bai Sanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The child is a good child, but unfortunately fate is wrong, and it is good to be able to see it.
