Chapter 1369 Li Duo (Happy birthday to book friend Miao Miao)
Bai Dalang went to the silver shop to buy jewelry according to his own wishes, but Miss Cheng Er felt regretful while sitting in the carriage.
She clutched the handkerchief and thought about it, and felt that she was too impulsive today.
Seeing that the young lady's face was flushed, the girl comforted her and said, "Miss, I think the young master of the Bai family is polite and will not tell anyone what happened today."
Miss Cheng Er said with red eyes: "It was us who were rude first."
"It's not my fault, Miss. Who knew that Master Bai would be leaving so soon? He didn't even have time to invite anyone for the ceremony, so he only had one meal at home." The girl still felt a little shabby.
Miss Cheng Er whispered: "Father said that he knows how to study and make progress, which is a good thing. If he delays his studies to say goodbye, it is not worth entrusting him to do so."
The girl didn't understand, "Isn't it okay for Master Bai to value the young lady?"
Miss Cheng Er grabbed the handkerchief and said, "Okay, but it's not good either. The things here are too complicated and you won't understand even if I explain them to you. Ask the coachman to hurry up. It may take us a long time to get out and we have to go to the cloth."
Zhuang chooses clothes, it’s too late to go back, mother should be worried.”
They used this as an excuse to go out today. If they went back without fixing their clothes, her mother would definitely know.
The girl agreed.
Bai Dalang carefully selected in the silver building, and selected a jade hairpin that he thought was particularly suitable for Miss Cheng Er. After having it wrapped, he looked at the gold jewelry aside, pointed at it and said, "Wrap this one too."
.”
The waiter wrapped him up and sent him out with a happy face.
Bai Dalang and the boy arrived outside Cheng's house. He took out the letter he had been keeping in his arms, put it on the box, handed it to the boy, closed his eyes and said, "Send it in."
The boy hugged the box and checked with the young master again, "Young Master, have I sent it in?"
Bai Dalang waved his hand and turned away from him.
The boy then went to knock on the door, and couldn't help thinking: Why didn't I give the letter to the person I just met? I had to make one more trip.
Can Bai Dalang tell him that he forgot at that time?
Of course that's not possible.
Miss Cheng Er came home feeling a little depressed. She just finished talking to her mother. Before she could leave, someone brought two boxes and bowed and said, "Madam, Miss Er, the boy next to the young master of the Bai family.
Two boxes were delivered, saying they were gifts for the madam and the second young lady."
Mrs. Cheng glanced at her daughter and saw that she was stunned on the spot, so she waved and said with a smile: "Send it to me for a look."
The servant delivered two boxes and a letter. He lowered his head and said, "There is also a letter from Master Bai, saying it is for the young lady."
Mrs. Cheng took the letter and opened the big box with one hand. When she saw the golden jewelry inside, she laughed out loud, "I'm afraid this gift is incidental. I really want to give it to you."
Miss Cheng Er's face turned red and she muttered in a low voice: "Mother..."
"Okay, I won't tell you, just open it and see what it is."
Although Miss Chengji wanted to take it back and read it for herself, she opened another small box.
Mrs. Cheng took a look and saw that it was a jade hairpin engraved with plum blossoms. She looked at the jade hairpin, then at her daughter, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, this jade hairpin is well chosen, which shows that it was taken seriously."
of."
Miss Cheng Er couldn't help but smile. She gently put the jade hairpin in the box and closed it, looking at the letter pressed by her mother's hand.
Mrs. Cheng didn't want to give the letter to her directly. She had to know what Bai Dalang wrote in the letter and whether there were any inappropriate words. If this person was Meng Lang, he should change it while the marriage could still be changed.
So Mrs. Cheng handed the letter to her with a smile and said with a smile: "Open it quickly and see what he wrote in this letter."
Miss Cheng Er took the letter and didn't want to open it, so Mrs. Cheng winked at the servants. After they all went down, she took her hand and whispered: "You are such a stupid girl, can I still hurt you? This word and the letter
You can best see your character.”
She said: "Your father said that the Bai family is about to wake up, and what he values is the future of the Bai family. But when we women marry, we can't just look at the future, but also based on the character."
Mrs. Cheng pulled her and said earnestly: "I don't like the Bai family at first, not for anything else, but because their family has no friendship with us at all, so they dare to ask a matchmaker to come to our house to talk about you. Your father is a grown-up after all.
Shi, your uncle is also an official in the court, and your character and appearance are not bad, even the son of a governor can say that, and although his father is a scholar, he has no fame..."
"But then I met Mrs. Bai and thought that although she was not very smart, she was innocent and romantic. I also quietly heard Mr. Bai talking to your father, and she was an honest person. You also thought that she was raised well, so I relaxed.
of."
Miss Cheng Er retorted in a low voice, "It's not because he looks good..."
Mrs. Cheng looked at her, and Miss Cheng Er whispered: "He is not bad at learning either."
Mrs. Cheng said: "The eldest son of Geng Sima is not bad in knowledge and good character. He is also a classmate of your brother. Why do you look down on him?"
After all, isn't it because Bai Dalang looks better than Geng Dalang?
Miss Cheng Er blushed and said nothing.
Mrs. Cheng pushed her and said, "Look, look what he wrote for you."
Miss Cheng Er opened the letter and read it with a blushing face.
This letter was written by Bai Dalang in the morning. It was revised many times and a lot of paper was used. It was not until noon that I finally finalized it, copied it into a neat and beautiful copy, and sealed it.
He originally wanted to buy a gift and give it to Miss Cheng Er together, but he hesitated halfway. After meeting Miss Cheng Er, he didn't think of giving it to her, so he almost smashed it in his hand.
As soon as Miss Cheng Er saw the letter, she knew that it was not him who wrote it. At least what was written in the letter was that since they said goodbye yesterday, it was obvious that he had written it long ago.
Miss Cheng Er couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. The depression in her heart completely dissipated, and her mood couldn't help but rise.
She stopped covering up and showed it directly to her mother, "Well, I didn't write anything. I just told him his address in the capital. If I want to contact him, I can write a letter and send it to this place, or leave the letter to his home.
, and it will be delivered by his family."
Mrs. Cheng looked at the first half of the letter, which was written by Bai Dalang about why he agreed to the marriage. In other words, it was a love message he wrote to Miss Cheng Er.
However, she was still restrained and polite, and her language was beautiful. Mrs. Cheng pretended not to see it, took the third addressed letter and nodded slightly, "Okay, you can put them all away."
Seeing the corner of her mouth turn up, Mrs. Cheng said: "But we just got engaged yesterday, and today I'm sending something to the house. Those who don't know may think you have been in contact before."
Miss Cheng Er immediately lowered her lips and denied, "No, mother doesn't know yet. I've never seen him before."
"I know, but others don't know. We, mother and daughter, are not the only ones in the family. In order to prevent others from gossiping, you still have to be more reserved in the future, you know?" Mrs. Cheng said: "He sends things here because he values you, so you should keep them first.
, but you are not allowed to interact with him easily. You will wait until a festival or his birthday before giving him something. This is also a famous courtesy."
