6. No choice
The Northern Song Dynasty family in the county?
Baishan has heard of this name, and it seems that it belongs to a family that moved here from the north at the beginning of this year. There were not many people when they came, but there were still a lot of carriages and baggage, traveling in the snow.
At that time, the county magistrate went out to greet him in person, which shows that the Song family's background was not simple.
But Bai Shan didn't know what the Song family did, and he had no interaction with this family. After all, one was a mud-legged man and the other was a big boss.
The short-lived daughter of the head of the Song family?
Baishan thought about it, but he had never heard of it and had no impression of it.
He followed Bai Miaochan across the Green Willow Bridge when he suddenly thought of something and paused.
Bai Miaochan was like a roundworm in his heart, and said softly: "Why, you also want to be a son-in-law?"
Bai Shan said: "I want to go, but they can't choose me.
But if it really happens, I would be willing to do it.
What the Song family wants is to find a husband for the girl, to accompany her on her last journey, and not to marry a second wife until the girl dies... These things have nothing to do with me.
But if my sister and brother can live a good life, then that's fine."
At the same time, I also have the resources for cultivation.
He added silently in his mind.
Bai Miaochan smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't belittle yourself. Although you look dull, you are very delicate, and if you clench your fists, you can still bulge your muscles. Some girls like you like this."
How about you go and give it a try? Maybe this girl will fall in love with you."
Baishan smiled and said, "That's weird."
The conversation between the two was just a daily joke.
As they talked and laughed, time seemed to shorten. Soon, the siblings arrived in front of Hongwa Alley in the west of the county.
Bai Miaochan looked at the first house at the entrance of the alley. It was still early, so the candles in the house were still on.
"Wait for me under this tree."
"Well, you go ahead."
Bai Shan responded, leaning against the tree with his hands behind his hands, looking toward the sky.
Bai Miaochan's voice suddenly came from not far away, "The tree is very moist, so don't get close to it."
Bai Shan smiled and straightened up again.
In the distance, Bai Miaochan stood under the moon and waved to him again, then turned around and ran happily to the old woman's house.
Bai Shan watched his eldest sister being welcomed into the door by an old woman, then he withdrew his gaze and waited quietly.
Time passed minute by minute.
Baishan couldn't help but think: If Sister Miaomiao succeeds, this crisis will be solved.
But what if it doesn’t work?
He clenched his fists.
Even a speck of dust randomly scattered by powerful people would be an unbearable burden for ordinary people.
This is the way of the world.
After half an hour, the door in the distance seemed to open. Bai Miaochan held the old woman's hand, and the two of them walked out of the house while laughing and talking.
Baishan breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the atmosphere, it should be done, right?
He did not step forward and continued to wait.
Bai Miaochan left the yard and the old woman closed the door.
The girl walked quickly and came to the boy's side, showing a bit of dejection.
Bai Shan was stunned for a moment and asked: "Isn't it possible?"
Bai Miaochan loosened her fingers, revealing the small gourd she was holding inside. It was obvious that she hadn't given the thing away. She pursed her lips and said, "It's not that it didn't work, it's just that the old lady said she needed to think about it."
Bai Shan asked: "What did you tell her?"
Bai Miaochan said: "We were all chatting happily at first, and then when we talked about meeting my adoptive mother, the old lady seemed to understand something and asked me what trouble I had caused. I said that the Lu family wanted to buy me, and you... and Lu
The servants had a little dispute and stopped them from coming in to rob someone.
The old lady understood what I said, but she said she would think about it again and give me an answer in two days."
Bai Shan was stunned for a moment and said: "No, it will be too late in two days."
Bai Miaochan's pretty face showed urgency, and she said: "Oh, I know, but I think the old lady doesn't want to implicate her son, or she wants to communicate this matter with her son first, which is understandable.
Original."
Bai Shan said: "Bai Miaochan, I understand what you said. But we can't wait for two days. Tomorrow morning at the latest, if the Lu family doesn't wait for the swordsman to return, they will definitely come over to make trouble. If we run into the Lu family
Face, then everything is over."
Bai Miaochan said: "Okay, okay, I'll go and beg her."
After saying that, the girl thought about it again.
Who among the beggars has never done this kind of thing? Not to mention asking for help, I have done it all like begging, what’s wrong with it?
But just now she was afraid that the old woman would see something was wrong and refuse directly, so she didn't beg anxiously, but just pretended to be worried.
The girl thought for a moment to say something, then ran into the old woman's house with a smile on her face.
After a while, she returned again.
Baishan asked: "How's it going?"
Bai Miaochan said: "The old lady is a good person, but she can't make her own decision. She... She will give us an answer tomorrow night at the earliest. I think she should have a special contact method with County Lieutenant Zhao, such as Feige. But Ming Ming
Night should be the shortest time it takes for her and Lieutenant Zhao to complete a communication."
Baishan fell silent.
Bai Miaochan also sighed.
Both of them were hesitant.
But this matter is already full of many uncertain factors.
For example, will Zhao Huaiyue agree to his mother's adoption of an adopted daughter?
If they agree, then...the two of them will work hard to survive the day tomorrow.
But if they don't agree, then by this time tomorrow night, it will be a dead end for the two of them, and there will be no chance of any improvement.
But if they ignore the old lady and leave Taohua County directly, the bandits and monsters along the way will give them a narrow escape. Even if they do go to other counties, they will most likely be wanted and the rest of their lives will be restless.
This is a fork in the road shrouded in fog. Every road is a gamble, but if you lose the gamble, you will have nothing.
Bai Shan suddenly said: "I'm going to the Song family."
Bai Miaochan raised her head in surprise: "Huh?"
Bai Shandao: "Didn't you say that I have hope?
Since there is, then I have to try it...
As long as he is selected tonight, the crisis will be resolved, and the old lady here won't let go.
If we are not selected, we will flee Taohua County overnight.
I will never put my hope in others."
When Bai Miaochan heard this, her pretty face was stunned for a moment, and then she said softly: "Okay, okay, you are the man of the family after all, and this matter is up to you."
After saying that, she jumped away again, stood far away, looked at Bai Shan carefully, then came closer, stood on tiptoe to brush his hair, then rested her elbow on her chin and said: "He is still quite handsome, but he lacks some clothes.
Well...just wait."
With that said, she turned around again, ran into the old woman's house, and returned not long after. This time when she returned, she had a white-soled scholar's uniform with a deep collar, a blue-black square scarf, and a pair of cyan boots.
She handed it over and said: "Baishan, change quickly. The old lady lent me this. It was what her son wore in the past. You happen to be writing letters for others, and you have a delicate face. It's just right to wear a scholar's uniform."
When Bai Shan saw that she really took out her clothes, she knew deep down in her heart that the old woman was probably treating Sister Miaomiao sincerely. It would have been fine in normal times, but now, the old woman knew clearly that Bai Miaomiao had offended the Lu family, but she was still willing to lend her clothes.
, instead of avoiding it for fear of not getting there, this is considered true love.
Baishan didn't care much, he just took off his clothes and changed his clothes.
The two have been together for a long time, so there is no need to avoid this resentment.
After putting it on, Bai Miaochan dressed him up for a while, combed his hair, and took out the scholar's square scarf for him to put on.
After a while of fussing, it finally got better.
Bai Miaochan looked at him with her chin raised, nodded, and said with a smile: "He really looks like a top scholar."
Bai Shan also smiled and said: "I'm afraid that girl has blind eyes and doesn't recognize the number one scholar."
The two were talking and laughing, but both of them felt heavy in their hearts.
