Chapter 188: Private Engagement for Life?
Bai Haochen and Bai Jinghong are very similar, both of them have excellent genes, their facial features are carved accurately, and every place just grows on the golden section line, which makes people can't help but take a second look at the past at a glance.
Bai Heran also took a second look, including Bai Haochen's white robe that wanted to be pretty, which made her have to sigh, if such a look is placed in the future generations, I am afraid that she will have to be caught shooting advertisements, right?
was looking at it, and I heard Bai Yan, who was sitting opposite, say in a delicate voice: "Yo, the second sister's eyes are straight when she looks at the eldest brother, I'm afraid that my soul will be hooked away, right?" How is it, do you think that the big brother you haven't seen for many years has grown a lot more handsome? Bai Heran didn't retract his gaze, and even looked at the person up and down more directly, and then shook his head: "No, no, no, it is indeed one of the best in the bottom crowd, but compared to a few princes, it is too inferior." Especially compared to the Ten Highnesses
, that's simply no comparison. Alas, it's really nothing to look at, if the third sister thinks that this is called Junlang, then you might as well take a few more looks, I don't have that interest. ”
Only then did he withdraw his gaze, lean back in his chair, and no longer speak.
Bai Yanyu laughed angrily, "The second sister's vision is really high. ”
"Yes." Bai Heran nodded, "After all, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to enter simplicity from luxury!" ”
This sentence made some people in the hall can't help laughing, and some people can't help but slap the table. It was the old lady who laughed, and it was Bai Jinghong and Ye who were angry.
Bai Haochen kept staring at Bai Heran with a pair of angry eyes, and finally spoke: "Second sister is really a powerful mouth, Luocheng has changed a lot in three years, and I don't know each other anymore." Bai Heran bowed slightly, "Big brother has won the prize." As for the change, it must be everyone's own, and the eldest brother is the same, when he comes back from his travels, it seems that the rules and etiquette are a lot more unfamiliar, this time he didn't ask his grandmother and the second lady to say goodbye first, but he stared at me first, I really don't know
What did the Tao learn outside? ”
Bai Haochen's face became even darker.
Bai Jinghong calmed down a little at this time, and hurriedly started the round: "Brother has worked hard all the way, let's see my grandmother!" ”
Bai Haochen nodded, and then gave a salute to the old lady: "Grandson to see grandmother, how is grandmother doing lately?" ”
The old lady looked at him for a while, and said lightly: "It's not good." ”
Kindness? Bai Haochen was stunned, what is this called? He just greeted politely, and asked casually, how can this really be good? If a sentence is not good to throw out, does he still have to ask why it is not good?
Without waiting for him to ask, the old lady's gaze swept to the crowd behind him, some of them were strangers, some were slightly familiar, so much so that they could be seen that they were all members of the Bai family in Los Angeles. "Did you travel to Los Angeles?"
Bai Haochen hurriedly replied: "It's just that I passed through Luocheng on the way back to Beijing, and my relatives said that it was almost Qingming, and I wanted to go to the capital to worship my ancestors with the main house." As he spoke, he glanced at the white crane again, and then said, "There is another thing I want to talk to my family about." ”
After he finished speaking, the people who followed him saluted the old lady one after another, and some of the younger ones knelt directly on the ground to kowtow to the old lady, and the etiquette was very comprehensive. Although the old lady had doubts about the arrival of these people, the other party was a clan relative after all, and she was not too embarrassed to come from afar. So he smiled and said: "The house is preparing to go to the Guangming Temple outside the city tomorrow to worship the ancestors, you came just in time, take a rest today, and go together tomorrow."
! After that, he was about to ask his subordinates to prepare the guest room, and he was also thinking about whether the kitchen had bought enough for these people to eat together in the past few days. Baifu doesn't have much silver, it was originally just a family affair behind closed doors, but now that these clansmen are all here, if they find out, wouldn't they make trouble
Make jokes.
But at this time, Bai Haochen opened his mouth again and said loudly: "Grandmother, the clansmen followed into Beijing, in addition to sacrificing their ancestors, there is another important matter, I want to ask the second sister to understand clearly." ”
"Oh?" The old lady's heart sank, and she instantly had a bad premonition, "What do you want to ask Ah Ran?" Hakuzuru's eyelids lifted slightly, and his gaze swept around the crowd twice, and finally stopped at a young man of about twenty years old. The man was of medium height, wearing a blue cloth robe, and holding a fan in his hand, which looked like a bit of a scholar at a glance, but if you carefully distinguish the eyebrows and eyes, it is also
It is easy to see the prodigal state hidden in his expression, and he is clearly a hard-pretending gentleman.
Her intuition has always been very sharp, and when she sneaked a glance at that person from time to time, she knew that what Bai Haochen said must be related to this person. The memory of the original owner was searched again, and it took some effort to remember the identity of this person, it turned out to be a cousin of the Bai family in Los Angeles, the name is unknown, but I remember that I also live in Los Angeles, and often go to Baifu to eat and drink, the style is very improper, and there is even a time when I drank flowers
The wine was not given silver, and then the name of Baifu was approached by the people of Hualou to ask for money. And I also heard that he had an ambiguous relationship with several maids in the White Mansion, and he also secretly lay on the wall of the original owner, and was later frightened by the appearance of the original owner's sick seedlings and retreated.
Today, the people of Los Angeles came to the door under the banner of ancestor worship, but they brought their relatives and cousins over, it seems that the ancestor worship is fake, and finding fault is real, and this stubble is still found for her.
"Ah Ran, do you remember me?" Bai Haochen didn't say anything more, until the person spoke, his hot eyes followed these words and threw them at her without concealment, and his steps staggered forward a few times. "Ah Ran, I think you're thinking so hard!"
As soon as these words came out, the people in the entire hall were stunned, and the old lady was even more annoyed: "Shut up! Where did the three indiscriminate embryos come from, and they dared to talk to my Bai family's Miss Chang like this? ”
The old lady opened her mouth to ask, and another person in the crowd immediately came forward: "Little nephew Bai Xingzhao, please say hello to my aunt." ”
This is Bai Xingzhao, the second master of the Luo family's Bai family, in order of generation, he should call his predecessor Wen Guogong uncle, and the old lady is naturally his aunt. It's just because it's a side branch, so this uncle and aunt listen very closely, but in fact it's very far away. He pointed to the young man who spoke and said to the old lady: "This is Jiang Yunfei, and my brother-in-law Jiang is his aunt, because they live in Los Angeles together, so they have a lot of contacts. Yunfei is a warm-hearted child, and he has been in and out over the years, and he has helped several brothers in the family, even the dog
The shops are all Yunfei helping Zhang Luo. It is precisely because he often comes and goes with the house that he has a lot of contact with the child Aran, and the two ......" He didn't say anything further here, but only gave Jiang Yunfei a look. Jiang Yunfei immediately understood, so he continued with his words: "I am in love with Ah Ran, and I have already made a private decision in Los Angeles for life. We agreed that we would explain the matter to her family as soon as she returned to Beijing
Love, I will also prepare a dowry gift to Shangdu City to propose marriage to the main house of the Bai family. Today, I have brought eight gift boxes to the door, and I came here for this matter. ”
Bai Xingzhao also said: "That's right." Auntie, the two children are not young, although Ah Ran has not yet reached the age of engagement, but the age of fourteen is also early to the age of engagement, this matter can not be delayed any longer, and I hope that the aunt and sister-in-law will be in charge and match this family business. ”
After he finished speaking, the clan relatives who followed him immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, the children's relatives can't be delayed, Yunfei and Ah Ranlang's talented women are really a match made in heaven!" ”
The old lady was stunned, but Bai Jinghong quietly pinched Ye Shi to remind him. This matter is Bai Haochen's Zhang Luo, they must give this scene to the whole, the Ye family is the main mother, and they have the right to be the master.
Ye immediately understood, nodded and said, "Indeed, the talented woman is a good family." ”
"Huh?" Bai Heran his hair and asked, "How did the second lady know about the appearance of a talented woman?" Do you know him? ”
Ye Shi smiled and said: "How can I know each other, but now people are standing here, looking dignified and talented, but a rare good boy!" ”
Bai Heran laughed, and even the Lin family and Bai Yanyu couldn't help laughing, "People are standing here, but my dear second lady, how do you see that he looks like a talent?" ”
Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, his heart was broken, and he forgot that he was blind in a hurry. I don't know how to bring the words back at the moment.
It was Bai Jinghong who took over the words on the side: "It was said by the second uncle of Los Angeles just now, and my mother believed in the second uncle's vision, so she said so." ”
"Oh." Bai Heran nodded, "Second uncle." The second uncle said that you are here to give a dowry? ”
Bai Xingzhao immediately said: "Exactly." Ah Ran, the second uncle is heartbroken for your family affairs! She was puzzled, "But didn't you come to the capital to worship your ancestors?" The two things of worshipping ancestors and saying kiss can't be kneaded in one place anyway, this Qingming Festival, are you joking with your ancestors? Aren't you afraid that the ancestors will come to the door in the middle of the night and discuss the law with you? "She's one
While talking, he sighed, "Say kiss on Qingming Festival, and say some nonsense." ”
The old lady also came back to her senses at this time, and immediately echoed: "Ah Ran is right, the old body also wants to ask, what are you here for?" ”
The people in Los Angeles were choked up for a while and didn't know how to answer, it seemed that something was not quite right, who would choose a day like Qingming Festival to say goodbye?
Bai Xing looked at Bai Haochen, expecting him to come up with an idea. Bai Haochen frowned, and sure enough, as said in the letter, this white crane is indeed difficult to deal with now, and the old lady also breathes out with her, this matter is not easy to do. He pondered for a moment, and finally opened his mouth: "I will put down the matter of talking about marriage for the time being, but I heard outside that the second sister actually got engaged to His Royal Highness Ten after returning to Beijing." So dare to ask the second sister, since she had already made a lifelong engagement with Yunfei's cousin when she was in Los Angeles, why did she forget about it when she returned to Beijing? And why did he choose the prince in the palace? Even if you don't take into account Cousin Yunfei's feelings in doing this, how can you be worthy of the marriage contract of His Royal Highness the Tenth? There is already a lover who chooses someone else, does this count as a bully? ”
