Chapter 240: Betrothed

In the end, I was embarrassed to ask Erniang with Zhou Bo, Erniang has not appeared in the past few days, Xue Jian has been prepared in her heart, and she doesn't think so, she just feels that she is unfortunate to lie down, this crime, just bear it yourself, so I just don't think about it. Still think about it, the good news of Wu Niang is about to come soon. Sure enough, as she expected, about half a month later, the matchmaker of the Bai family came to visit.

Aunt Wang was naturally overjoyed, although she was even more respectful and petty in front of Du, she always had a satisfied smile on her face. Wu Niang, this girl, suddenly knew that she was shy and shy in the past few days, which made Xue Jian's heart feel a lot more steady.

After the eight characters, there is naturally nothing bad, and then there is Najib's step, and the two families began to prepare for the big gift. Although he has crossed a few sisters, after all, it is the first family affair presided over by the Du family himself, and he is naturally very concerned.

In Anning County, naturally there is no more prominent than these two families, and the Bai family has only one son, and they are currently very rich, so the bride price prepared is naturally not to be underestimated, Zhou Shangyi always nodded and said: "You can't let the Bai family look down on it." This made Du Shi's heart can't help but feel sour. A concubine who has not yet reached the age of Qian, where is she loved? It is worth the blue eyes of the county commander, and it also makes the Bai family spend so much effort to prepare! But such a thought can only be hidden in his heart, and he only smiled faintly at Zhou Shangyi: "That's natural, don't worry, master!" ”

Aunt Bai can no longer pretend to be calm, but she is often happy by herself, allowing Aunt Feng and Aunt Zhao to stab from time to time, and she doesn't argue anything. When Du Shi saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief again, and only said to the two aunts with a broken face: "Do you have the heart to say something?" Carefully let the juniors see the joke. These days, everyone in the family is so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, and the summer heat has gradually risen, and Du's mood is also uncomfortable.

and couldn't help complaining on the pillow at night, Zhou Shangyi couldn't hear it, but told Aunt Wang in private: "Your sisters have no malice, they just ate Wu Niang's vinegar, you are sensible, don't take it to heart." Aunt Wang naturally responded: "Where did the master say, how could the slave and maid be angry with the sisters." Besides, Wu Niang is indeed a little younger, and she has crossed a few sisters, if it weren't for the county order family to propose marriage, and the slave maid was here, she would have to push it away. "This is the fifth mother selected by the Bai family.

Zhou Bo also noticed that his mother was a little annoyed with Xue Jian, although he didn't know why, but as long as Xue Jian came forward, he always had to follow silently behind, many times, Du Shi was not stupid, so he naturally noticed it, and had to say to the air in front of him: "I have become a wicked mother-in-law, and even my own son is not at ease." Xue Jian stood beside her, knowing that she was saying it to herself, so she responded: "Mother, Xianggong is just worried about his daughter-in-law's body, and he doesn't mean anything else." "While glaring at Zhou Bo, can't you be more subtle?

"That's it, you should come less in the future, although you can raise it in Moxiang Courtyard with peace of mind. At the moment, people come and go, and it is not good to let people who don't have long eyes touch it. Du Shi dropped this sentence again, Xue saw a toothy smile, put away his dissatisfaction with Zhou Bo, and replied: "Yes, what my mother said is right." ”

It is interesting to look at the engagement etiquette of the ancients, but it is still the child in your belly that is the most important, so you should go back and raise it obediently.

The Bai family tried everything to follow the Zhou family's wishes. I don't feel how eager I am to get married, but I have to settle down first. In the end, Wu Niang is too young, and the two sisters and one brother above are not married.

"I fell in love with a concubine when I was born." Mrs. Bai smiled brightly in front of people, and behind people, she was also unwilling.

Seeing that Mrs. talked about this again, Bai Jianran did not put down the book in his hand, but only followed the book: "As long as my son likes it and lives a comfortable life, this is enough." ”

"How do you know you're going to have a good time here?" Mrs. Bai said, arguing with her father-in-law for nothing, "Wu Niang is young and has a jumpy temperament, these two are together, and there is no one to restrain them, not afraid of turning the sky upside down?" ”

Bai Jianran said in a low voice: "Madam, look at Zhou Bo and Xuejian, who was optimistic about it at the beginning?" Isn't it the same as having a good time? Madam Bai thought about it, just that, anyway, she didn't think that her son could enter the office, what kind of concubine is not a concubine, even the identity of the daughter of a merchant, the old man didn't frown. As long as her son is good, she doesn't care so much.

Bai Yitian came over to say goodbye, and saw his mother bending down and saluting, "In the past two days, my mother has worked hard." ”

Seeing that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, Mrs. Bai's mood that had just calmed down was once again dissatisfied, "It turns out that I still know that my mother is hard." ”

"The son will definitely be filial to his mother in the future." Bai Yitian came over and sat next to Mrs. Bai, "Let Wu Niang be filial to her mother." ”

Even if Mrs. Bai was no longer satisfied, she thought that although her son was messing around, he had not done anything out of the ordinary. If it weren't for Bai Jianran's pressure, he would have participated in the scientific expedition a long time ago, and it would be no problem to lift someone or something now. Alas, now I don't have to worry about money, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I bought hundreds of acres of fertile land nearby to prepare for the retirement of the elderly.

Wu Niang's status as a concubine Bai family doesn't particularly mind, but she is too young, and her temperament is too lively, in the end she is not as dignified as Erniang, nor as docile as Siniang. Who would have thought that her son would recognize her?

Originally, there were some things that she would not deliberately ask, but it must be said that the past two days for her son's family affairs have caused a lot of fluctuations in her heart. The old couple has such a son, even if they are awkward, Mrs. Bai is not willing to violate her son's wishes.

At this time, seeing that Mrs. Bai didn't speak, Bai Jianran couldn't help but raise his head, in the end, it was husband and wife who were connected, and he understood the old wife's thoughts.

"Madam, Wu Niang is still young after all, but she is lively and cheerful, and she is not a scheming person. If you are two years older, your temperament will slowly calm down, and who of us hasn't played when you were young? Our family is not a family that restricts a daughter-in-law with rules and regulations, let's treat her well, treat her like a daughter, and naturally we can live well. If I am sensible today, I have also thought about it, and I will return to my hometown in two years, and our old couple will concentrate on taking our grandchildren to see our granddaughters in the country house, isn't it very beautiful. ”

Bai Yitian listened to his father's words, and his heart was moved and sad. Naturally, his parents have no requirements for him, but they still keep his things in mind, and the sad thing is that seeing that his parents are getting older and older, he just takes a fancy to a little lady, and he can't comfort his parents for the Bai family's inheritance earlier.
