Chapter 43: The Marriage Contract of the Two Families

In the hall, Bai Zhanjun and the Jin family sat at the top, Bai Muguan sat at the bottom, and Fang Huaiyuan's family of three sat opposite her. Bai Qi and Bai Xiao brothers have not returned so far, as for Bai Mingnuan and Bai Chuan, they are standing behind Bai Zhanchun and his wife. The rest of the maids all retired after serving tea, and the atmosphere in the house was tense.

Jin is anxious, at this time she couldn't sit still, and took the lead in opening her mouth: "Master, what's going on?" Do you know them? ”

Bai Zhanchun pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

It's more than awareness!

Thinking that Old Man Bai and Old Man Fang were close friends, Bai Zhansong and Fang Huaiyuan played together since they were babbling, and they also participated in the scientific examination in the same year. At that time, the two families were quite regrettable that all sons were born, and there were no daughters, so they could not marry their children. Later, Old Man Bai said to the other couple: "My son's generation, you and I have a fate, and we will get married when our grandchildren grow up in the future." The Fang family couple also had this intention.

In order to prevent the children of the two old people from forgetting after a hundred years, the two families took out the heirlooms at the bottom of the box and exchanged them with each other, which was counted as a token of the marriage contract. Not long after, Old Man Fang died due to illness, followed by Old Man Bai and Old Lady Bai, and it was not until a few years ago that Old Man Fang died. Before leaving, she still remembered the marriage contract she made that year, but now the Bai family's momentum is different from the past, especially the second-room upstart Jane is in the emperor's heart. The Fang family finally has a granddaughter in this generation, but it is difficult to match.

"Lord Bai still remembers this jade pendant, right?" Fang Huaiyuan took out a jade pendant from his wide sleeve and handed it to Bai Zhansong.

This jade pendant has a warm color and is carefully carved into the shape of a fish, which means that it is more than every year. The Bai family is not a famous family, such a jade pendant with good color is indeed a treasure at the bottom of the box, and the old man Bai took it to the Fang family as a token back then, which can be seen to be solemn.

"Yes." Bai Zhansong's voice was a little hoarse, thinking that he was ten years old when the two families made a marriage contract, and he had reached the age of sensibility.

Fang Huaiyuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he asked while the iron was hot: "I don't know if the token that my father gave to the Bai family back then is here with Lord Bai?" ”

Although he was slapped today and his face was gloomy, everything went smoothly than he imagined. Anyway, Bai Zhanchun did not deny the marriage contract of the year, and recognized the token in person.

Bai Zhanchun lowered his eyes and nodded again.

He is the eldest son of the long house, and the old man Bai does not value his concubine, and gives him the token for safekeeping before he dies. The token that the Fang family gave them that day was a jade bracelet, which was worn on Jin's wrist at the moment.

Jin only thinks that this bracelet is moist in color, which is a good product in jadeite, but he doesn't know its origin. She didn't ask, Bai Zhanchun naturally wouldn't mention it for no reason. Or that they have lived in Fuzhou for a long time and cut off contact with the Fang family, Bai Zhanchun has long forgotten the marriage contract of his ancestors.

At the moment, Bai Zhanchun stared at Jin's bracelet, and Jin was not a fool, so he quickly reacted and asked tentatively: "Could it be that the token is this jade bracelet?" ”

Seeing that he was silent, Jin was suddenly ashamed and embarrassed, and hurriedly took it off and put it on the table. She usually has the best face, but now she is disgraced. She was the head of the white family, and she was actually wearing the token given by the Fang family on her wrist, which was really shameless!

At this time, Fang Huaiyuan's wife Wu wiped away her tears, changed her face, and said with a smile: "Since the two tokens are intact, and now the two children have grown up, this family affair should have been agreed on as soon as possible." ”

As soon as he heard her words, Kim immediately became anxious! Why did you suddenly agree on a family affair? She wanted her son to get married as soon as possible, but she wouldn't let him marry a girl from the Fang family. Let's not say that the Fang family's family is too low, just say that the girl of the Fang family has no beautiful demeanor, so she doesn't like it very much.

Reluctantly, the Jin family replied cleanly: "Mrs. Fang said that she laughed, Qi'er is still young, and she is not in a hurry if her heart is unstable." The young and the young are orderly, so why wait for his brother Bai Xiao to marry a wife and start a family before it can be his turn. ”

Bai Xiao is not a child born from her belly, if she has to sign a marriage contract with the Fang family, let Bai Xiao marry Miss Fang.

"Bai Qi wantonly despises my daughter, and I can barely swallow my anger for the sake of the marriage contract of the two ancestors. Now you can't help but push back, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed. Fang Huaiyuan's face was condensed, and he looked like a loving father who was protecting his daughter.

"It's not enough to make trouble at the door, full of nonsense and biting at will, it turns out that this is what you call swallowing your anger." The girl who spoke had a bright face, wearing a crescent white uniform, a jade belt tied Ying Ying's waist, and her hair was curled up with a golden hairpin.

At this moment, she raised her eyebrows, stood up with a sneer, and showed no mercy to the Fang family at all.

Fang Huaiyuan was thick-skinned, and his face turned blue from her choking. However, he was full of combat effectiveness, thinking that the other party was just a girl who had not reached the end of the year, even if he had been slapped, he would not have a long memory, and reprimanded angrily: "Bold, our elders speak, how can you have a junior to intervene, I really don't understand the rules!" ”

Bai Muguan's heart was bright, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows showed a domineering momentum: "Fang compiled a seven-grade official, should I pay a big salute when I see this general?" When General Ben speaks, you are not qualified to interject! ”

Only then did Fang Huaiyuan realize that her identity was unusual, she was not an ordinary junior, but an upright fourth-grade official. The only female general of the Cullinan Dynasty.

And what about himself? is still a little-known compiler in the Hanlin Academy, and it is impossible to be promoted to the fourth grade in this life. In the capital, the Fang family can only be regarded as a small family, and a few years ago, I wanted to use my surname to climb the declining Chen Guifei's mother's house, but I was turned away. So when Shangguan Xiyue threw out an olive branch, he was too busy to agree. Not only can they get a rich silver tael, but when it comes to marrying their daughter into the current Bai family, they are definitely high.

Just let him salute Bai Muguan in this situation, he really didn't have this face, so he simply kept his mouth shut.

In contrast, Wu can bend and stretch a lot, and smiling with a smiling face: "Don't worry, General Xiaobai, he is clumsy and eloquent, but he is not good at words." ”

Not good at words, heh, how articulate he was when he scolded before!

Bai Muguan secretly ridiculed himself in his heart, and his face eased a little.

Soon, I only heard Fang Huaiyuan cough and get back to business: "That day, my daughter went out of the house to choose clothes, and only brought a maid with her, and I met Bai Qi on the way. After that, he followed all the way to the teahouse and did evil to my daughter in the private room. Fortunately, the maid was loyal and clever, and ran out in time to call someone, so he didn't succeed! ”

Bai Zhansong breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "So it sounds like this, Ling Yan is still a complete body?" ”

"Humph! What about the perfect body? was ruined by Bai Qi's kid, and she was so ashamed that she almost committed suicide. With that, Fang Huaiyuan glared at Bai Zhanzhu and the Jin family viciously.

Nowadays, it is important to pay attention to whether men and women give or receive kisses, if an unmarried woman and a foreign man are pulled, it is difficult to protect the reputation of the girl, and the man should be responsible for it to the end.

Of course, the Jin family didn't want Bai Qi to be responsible, and she was still thinking about waiting for Bai Qi to become famous, and then trying to find a way to marry Miss Qianjin, a noble daughter of a high-ranking family. At this time, of course, she couldn't easily admit it: "There is no basis for what you say, Qi'er has not returned home yet, how can we believe your words?" ”

"Madame Bai, how could my father talk about such a thing? Bai Gongzi ruined my innocence, although my life is as thin as duckweed, I can't let the clean body that my father and mother painstakingly raised be humiliated! ”

The girl of the Fang family, whose name is Fang Shu, is sixteen years old this year, and she is in the best years of her life, and her face is already beautiful.

Bai Muguan had a sneer on his face, and suddenly interrupted Fang Shu, who was good at singing: "Miss Fang was humiliated one by one, I'm curious what happened to Cousin Qi?" ”

Although she is dissatisfied with the Jin family, as a member of the Bai family, she does not mention personal grudges at this time, and must unite with the enemy. What's more, she always felt that something was wrong with the matter in front of her.

As soon as she said this, not to mention that Fang Shu couldn't cry anymore and looked embarrassed, even Bai Mingnuan's cheeks were hot. is also an unmarried girl in Yunying, and Bai Muguan has a big heart, and she dares to ask anything.

The Wu family couldn't hold back any longer, and said lightly: "This is a matter between our Fang family and the Bai family's family, no matter how noble General Xiaobai is, he is also the daughter of the second room, and it seems that he has nothing to do with you." ”

She is obviously wiser than her husband Fang Huaiyuan, and she does not use her status as an elder to suppress her juniors, but only says that Bai Muguan is not a long-term house girl, and it is not her turn to meddle.

It's a pity that this trick is not easy to use, I saw Bai Muguan nodded, and then she asked Bai Zhanchun suspiciously: "Uncle, when did our Bai family separate?" Why don't I, the second-room daughter, know? ”

Hearing this, Wu almost vomited blood!

Even if the old lady Bai and his wife die of illness, as long as they do not separate for a day, the Bai family does not need to distinguish between long rooms, two bedrooms and three rooms, and they advance and retreat together. Bai Muguan opened his mouth to ask, as Bai Qi's cousin, he was not nosy at all.

Who told them before that Bai Muguan didn't want to see Changfang? It's clearly colluded! Wu twitched the corners of his mouth angrily.

Bai Zhanjun didn't mind taking the opportunity to be angry with the Wu family again, and said lightly: "We haven't separated ourselves. ”

"If you have the guts to make trouble, don't be afraid that we will investigate it." As he spoke, Bai Muguan glanced at him, and the combination of breathtaking beauty and temperament had extinguished the arrogance of the Fang family.

Bai Mingnuan saw it in his eyes, and his heart swelled with envy. How good would it be if she was Bai Muguan? If she was Bai Muguan, she would definitely dare to be so proud and domineering. If she were Bai Muguan, she would be so scorching and high-spirited.

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

Suddenly, the little guy outside shouted loudly: "The eldest son and the second son are back home!" ”
