"The fifth brother is too partial, he refuses to touch his red cherry gun when I touch it, but he lets my cousin touch it."

Liu Shu suddenly said indignantly.

Xiao Fuyuan also saw it, the two people in the middle of the courtyard didn't know when they stood together, and Bai Zhaomei was patiently teaching Cuicui to play the red cherry gun.

The two of them were smiling brightly under the clear autumn sky.

"Hold the ...... with both hands like this"

"It's so heavy, you're so powerful, it's as easy as holding a piece of grass."

"Just get used to it."

The wind sent the two of them to talk and laugh.

As soon as Bai Zhaomei looked up and saw her sister and Liu Shu looking at herself and Cuicui, she quickly accepted the red cherry spear, scratched her head and said to Xiao Fuyuan embarrassedly: "Sister, Cuicui is curious about the red cherry spear, can I let her touch it?" ”

Xiao Fuyuan: "......"

This fifth brother, of course, your own gun is in charge.

"Fifth brother, your red cherry gun, who do you want to touch, let whoever you want to touch." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile.

Bai Zhaomei grinned, he used to only let his sister touch it, but today he let Cuicui touch it, the reason he gave himself was that Cuicui was a guest at home and was embarrassed to refuse.

"I haven't touched my red cherry spear except for my sister, and I won't touch anyone else, because you are a guest of my house, so I let you touch it." Bai Zhaomei said to Cuicui.

"I'm also a guest, why didn't the fifth brother let me touch it." Liu Shu shouted.

Cuicui glared at Liu Shu, and her face turned red again.

In the upper room, Xu was chatting with Mrs. Bai Zhen and Tian Maimiao.

"Thank you so much for my wife's help in my Huaicheng shop." Old Lady Bai looked grateful.

"Hey, what's the thank you for, in the final analysis, it's all the satin of your shop, and the good vision of wheat seedlings to buy goods, so that they can have a good reputation in Huaicheng." Xu Shi was used in his heart, but he said modestly in his mouth.

"Sister Zhen is blessed, her sons are all promising, her daughters-in-law are filial, and she has smart and beautiful daughters. No, Mai Miao is pregnant again, and she must be a granddaughter. Xu saw Tian Maimiao holding her stomach, and envied Zhen's children and grandchildren, where could she see men and women, knowing that the old Bai family liked girls, so she deliberately said that Tian Maimiao was a daughter.

Anyway, it is a girl who can drive the happy atmosphere of the conversation.

"My sister is blessed, Lord Liu has done so well, and he loves you." Zhen also gave Xu's a business blow.

Xu was very happy to be praised by Zhen, this is true! It is not the most enviable that her man has been promoted to the prefect in such a short time, and what is even more enviable is that Liu Hong does not accept concubines, and there is no one in the room, which belongs to the only clear stream of Huaicheng officialdom.

Xu said a few words of blessing, and the topic turned to Bai Panmei.

"I heard my lord say, in order to catch up with the pediatric examination, we must produce a champion in Huaicheng, and the fourth child of your family is the one that everyone is optimistic about." Xu said.

This is not something Xu said nonsense, but Liu Hong often mentioned it to her in private.

She was very envious, so she said that the old Bai family was so lucky, she could cultivate a champion candidate, and her family Shu'er invited a famous teacher since she was a child, and now she is not as good as Erlang, who is enlightened halfway.

The corners of Xu's mouth foamed.

"Madame praised it falsely, the top of the talent list for a while is nothing, there are so many people in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, my sister is just a nobody." Zhen said, having a hunch in his heart that what Xu was going to say next, and then thinking of Cuicui, this must be to say that the fourth child of her family is here.

"Sister Zhen is too modest, even Zhou Daru of Huaishui Academy is optimistic about the fourth child, when the fourth child of your family is admitted to the top prize, I don't know which girl is blessed to arrest him." Sure enough, the Xu family finally led the topic to Bai Panmei's family affairs.

"It's up to him, we as parents can only remind him that after all, we can't make decisions for him, and we have to find a life that we like to live comfortably." Zhen glanced at Eugene Gui who was sitting beside him, and Eugene Gui, who was weak-hearted, got up and went out with Xiaolang in his arms.

Xu nodded, understanding Zhen's thoughts very well, I heard that the second child of the Bai family and his daughter-in-law were not on good terms, and it was the only misfortune for the old Bai family to end up with everything going well.

"That being said, but after all, the parents are in charge of the major matters of marriage. Brother Bai, Sister Zhen and Aunt Bai have a lot of knowledge, and the daughter-in-law chosen for the fourth child will not be too bad after all. Xu said, still thinking about how to mention Cuicui to the Bai family, he had already thought about the rhetoric, but at this time, he really didn't know how to talk about the fourth child of the Bai family.

"What do you think of my sister? Is there a suitable person? Zhen asked directly.

Instead of guessing here, it's better to pick it out.

Xu Shi carefully considered and said: "I really don't hide it from my sister, what do you think of my niece Cuicui?" ”

Zhen's heart was clear, and he really said goodbye to his fourth child.

Cuicui's crisp laughter came from outside the courtyard.

Judging from her physiognomy, Cuicui's bright appearance is very pleasing, and her temperament is not weak, and she really meets the aesthetic standards of the Bai family's daughter-in-law.

But this thing has to be liked by my sister, right?

Besides, Zhen knows very well that once he marries Liu Hong's niece, he will be tied to Liu Hong in the same boat. Zhen understands the truth that you can't be alone in the officialdom, but her son has been bound in advance before he has entered the officialdom, and it is unfair to Panmei.

If the concept is consistent with Liu Hong, it's easy to say, if it's inconsistent, then it's not a feud.

"Cuicui is beautiful and atmospheric, it must be a good one." Zhen said.

"My eldest sister's family is simple. My brother-in-law has just been transferred to Qingyang County as the master, and he is upright and straightforward, and my eldest sister is not a troubled person, and there is an older brother above Cuicui. Although she is the youngest in the family, she is not pampered at all, and she learned to be a housekeeper when she was a child. The Xu family told the situation of the eldest sister's family to the Zhen family and Mrs. Bai.

"If you say that you are not selfish, you don't believe it, my lord loves this niece the most, and he can't bear to be wronged after Cuicui gets married, and wants to find her a mother-in-law who has so many rules. Thinking about it, the age difference between the fourth child of your family and Cuicui is not much different, which is the most suitable. Xu deliberately pointed out that he valued the family style of the old Bai family, and the prefect wanted to get married.

Zhen pondered, this thing cannot be directly agreed, nor can it be directly refused.

In the end, I have to ask Bai Panmei's opinion.

Old Lady Bai opened her mouth and said, "Madam, Lord Liu can take a fancy to our family, it is the creation of the fourth child. The matter of discussing relatives is not something that can be negotiated in a while, our family does not approve of blind marriage and dumb marriage, and this matter has to be taken care of by Cuicui and the fourth child after all. ”

Mrs. Bai didn't want to marry the prefect's family, she and Zhen thought differently, Bai Panmei was going to the capital in the future, she hoped that Bai Panmei could find a capable Yue family in the capital.

It's not that she has the mind to climb high, but she clearly knows that Bai Panmei is ambitious and talented, but she also needs help to play better.

But the prefect's wife came to the door in person to say goodbye, and it was too obvious to take Qiao to refuse directly, and the face of the old Bai family was not so big that he directly rejected the prefect.

"Madam, if we refuse directly, it will seem that we don't know how to lift, and if we directly decide, it will not be fair to Cuicui and the fourth. My sister Pan is not famous yet, don't be wronged Cuicui, he said that he has to start a business first and then start a family, anyway, both of them are not very old, and this matter will be discussed later. ”

What Mrs. Bai said not only saved Xu's face, but also had a valid reason.

It's hard for Xu to say anything.

Anyway, the Bai family didn't say dead, so there is room for this matter to turn around.

Perhaps, Cuicui and Bai Panmei can get along with each other and have feelings.

There was laughter outside, and Xu looked through the window lattice, Cuicui was holding a bamboo pole and playing tricks under the guidance of the fifth child of the Bai family.

Xu's face darkened, why didn't this niece know how to restrain herself, was she here to kiss or someone was crazy?
