It's just that Tang Ming doesn't have the time or energy to take care of Xiaoba, why can't he give it to her?
She didn't want to get married in the first place, and she had both hands and feet, so it was no problem to support a child.
Xiaoba is not doing well in the Tang family, so he might as well follow her.
At least she won't tell Xiaoba that he doesn't have enough food and clothing, and has to work, right?
"I'll ask Tang Ming, he might agree. Anyway, in his eyes, Xiaoba is just a girl."
After Bai Guli said this, he turned around and left without waiting for Luo Jiaocheng's agreement.
She had to convince Tang Ming that he was still young anyway and would definitely marry again in the future.
When the time comes to marry a stepmother and have children of her own, maybe she will have a stepmother and a stepfather.
Xiaoba is timid and doesn't know how to ask for help if he is afraid of being abused for a long time, so he can only endure it on his own.
Tuofeng Town is not big, and it only takes more than a quarter of an hour to walk from Yan Shiqing's Yan residence to Tang Ming's residence.
When Bai Guli came out, he passed by a corner and heard a woman saying that Tang Ming wanted to find a stepmother.
Hearing this, she paused, looked at her mother-in-law who was doing household chores next to her, and said, "Auntie, you said that Tang Ming and Tang Juren are looking for a step-mother. Is this true?"
The woman who pulls home the daily routine is the iceman of Tuofeng Town, and she also specializes in official media.
It's just that this place is small, and there was no Iceman before. This was a temporary appointment when Mr. Wang was appointed as the prefect of Antelope City.
He felt that the towns and counties under his administration should be equipped with everything they needed.
Therefore, that woman was the new Iceman in Tuofeng Town, and if Tang Ming wanted to get married, he naturally had to entrust her to her.
The woman's surname was Shen. When she heard Bai Guli's words, she nodded repeatedly: "Yes!"
She knew the girl in front of her. As the Ice Man of Camelback Town, she knew all about the people in this small town, especially the people of marriageable age in her eyes.
Therefore, whenever a new face appears in the town, she will naturally pay special attention to it.
The person in front of her was in her early twenties, still dressing up as a girl, and living in the Yan Mansion. How could she not be aware of this?
Yan Mansion, that is Princess Mo's residence here. Being able to live there and coming from a long way away, her status will not be different.
She had noticed in the past that the girl surnamed Bai treated Tang Juren's Xiaoba very well. Now when she asked this question, could it be that she had feelings for Tang Juren?
This girl has a good status, but she still wears her hair like a girl at this age. She must have been abandoned by her husband's family, or she is a widow, and she still wants to remarry, or there is something wrong with her, so she is dressed like this.
If this is the case, then Tang Juren, a widower, is not unworthy.
After all, Tang Juren has been working for King Mo. After Tuofeng Town gets better and better, it is not impossible for him to take the scientific examination and move up.
Based on this calculation, it should be a good match.
Although there are more people in Tuofeng Town now, those women and unmarried girls are somewhat unworthy of Tang Juren.
Mrs. Shen looked at the white grains without any trace, and the more she looked at them, the more satisfied she became.
She could tell from Bai Guli's eyebrows and the way she walked that she was still innocent.
Thinking about it, even if she is married, there must be something wrong with her husband's family, so she invited herself to the court.
If she has never been married, she should be matched by a man from the government. As an iceman, she felt that Tang Juren was quite suitable and just right.
No matter where this girl comes from, Tang Juren is a great benefactor in their Tuofeng Town. He wholeheartedly cares about his people, and there is nothing he can't do to deserve this girl.
Although Bai Guli was uncomfortable being looked at by Mrs. Shen, he frowned tightly when he thought that Tang Ming was actually looking for a step-mother.
What is she afraid of?
What should Xiaoba do if he has a stepmother?
However, before she could say anything or leave, Mrs. Shen took her hand and said, "Miss Bai, how old are you this year? Where is your home? Who is there in your family? Have you ever married?" Outstanding? What do you think of our Tang Juren? He has good looks, is famous and knowledgeable, and is a good man. He is devoted to the people of Tuofeng Town. Although his family background is not very good, it will always be better in the future. He is following now It goes without saying that King Mo has a good future as he works. There is no burden on the family either. Old Tang is a nice person and won’t make things difficult for others. There is also Xiao Ba, and you know that little girl Bai Miss. I don’t need to tell you about her temper..."
Mrs. Shen's sudden enthusiasm made Bai Guli feel confused for a moment and didn't know how to react.
When she heard what this woman said, it seemed like she wanted to pair her up with that nerdy guy Tang Ming.
But how is it possible?
Tang Ming is stupid, how could she, Bai Guli, marry him?
If you marry him, then you won’t be angry with him every day from now on?
It's just, Xiaoba...
Mrs. Shen saw that Bai Guli had no reaction and asked again: "Miss Bai, what do you think of us, Tang Juren, accompanying you?"
It is said that when you first marry, you obey your father, and when you marry again, you obey yourself. Ask Miss Bai directly about the marriage. As long as Miss Bai agrees, there should be no problem.
The white grain's silence seemed to Mrs. Shen to be a joke.
After all, her rash talk about this matter would be offensive to any girl, and she might even be beaten.
Now this girl is silent, doesn't it mean that she agrees in her heart, but can't just nod her head?
It doesn't matter, she understands. As a girl, you always have to be reserved!
If it doesn't work once, there will be two or three times. If you ask a few more times and give enough face, you will eventually agree.
Thinking of this, the smile on Mrs. Shen's face became brighter and brighter. She was satisfied no matter how she looked at Bai Guli.
She felt that such a person was a good match for their Tuofengzhentang Juren.
"Miss Bai, who is in your family and where do they live? If you want to marry our Tang Juren, I will arrange the marriage..." yyls
Before Mrs. Shen could say anything, she saw Xiang Tao standing next to her. She wondered: "Mrs. Shen, why are you pulling Miss Bai? I just heard about the marriage, what kind of marriage? Who is it? Whose?"
After Xiang Tao called Bai Guli back to Tang Ming's house, she went directly to the medicine hall to talk to Biyun and Chu Yi about the preparations for Luo Jiao's return.
After all, she wanted Luo Jiaochao to bring the wolfberries back to the capital and give them to Concubine Lan, so that they could return to the capital for the New Year.
Unexpectedly, when she returned home after giving the explanation, she saw Mrs. Shen holding Bai Guli, who didn't know what she was talking about, and looked very excited.
When she walked in, she heard Mrs. Shen talking about marriage, which made her think that she had heard something wrong.
Bai Guli is the direct granddaughter of Bai Dasinong Bai Yifeng. Even though she is still unmarried in her twenties, her family is not as deep-rooted and has as many rules as the Duke of Ning's family. But in the end, she is still an official lady. , and her rank is not low, she can be said to be the rich daughter of a high official in the court.
To put it bluntly, as long as she is willing to marry such a person, looking at the whole country, what kind of person is she looking for?
In the past, the white grain teeth were not fixed properly, and the face was not very elegant, but now they are healed, and she looks like a delicate and beautiful woman, and she also looks very healthy.
With the blessings of her grandparents, father and brother, she could find a good one in the capital, so why would she need to find one in Tuofeng Town?
In the past, when Emperor Yongchang was in power, Bai Dasin's salary was not high, and he often used it to support the people. He did not collude with those corrupt officials, so life in the Bai Mansion was difficult.
But now the Holy One values him highly and gives him rewards every year and festival. In addition, the dishes produced by Zhuangzi run by Mrs. Bai are provided regularly, and there are regular restaurants, as well as her monthly salary, so he is living a good life.
No matter which way you look at it, it is impossible for Bai Guli to come here to find her husband's family.
Is this Mrs. Shen crazy? She became an ice man and started cheating on her husband?
When Mrs. Shen saw Xiang Tao, her face lit up, and she immediately called out with a flattering smile: "Ms. Ruan!"
Xiangtao is already married, and her surname is Ruan, but she is a steward, so the people in Tuofeng Town call her Mrs. Ruan.
"Mr. Shen, what are you talking about when you pull Miss Bai? Why did I hear about marriage and such things?"
When Mrs. Shen heard her mention this matter again, her eyes rolled, and she felt that if Xiang Tao also supported this matter, it would be possible in all likelihood.
Anyway, in her opinion, this girl Bai also has that intention.
"Ms. Ruan, old lady, I'm talking about Miss Bai and Tang Juren. Today Tang Juren came to me and said he wanted to find a stepmother. Old lady, I think Miss Bai is quite suitable, so I asked her what she meant..."
Before Mrs. Shen finished speaking, she saw Xiang Tao's face darken and said sternly: "Mother Shen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense! Do you know who Miss Bai is? What about Tang Ming? What is your identity? "
Seeing Xiang Tao like this, Mrs. Shen's heart skipped a beat and sank.
Although Mrs. Ruan is vigorous and resolute in her work, she is actually a very kind person and talks to others in a gentle manner.
This was the first time she had seen her like this.
Xiangtao didn't care what Mrs. Shen was thinking, she wanted to dispel her thoughts so that she wouldn't turn around and ruin Baiguli's reputation by talking nonsense.
"Mr. Shen, Miss Bai's grandfather is Bai Yifeng, a great minister, and her grandmother, Mrs. Bai, is now the royal wife of the first rank. They are the godfather and godmother of Madam Zhen Guo, which is equivalent to the maternal grandfather of our Princess Mo. Family. Miss Bai and our princess are as close as sisters. This time we are here because Mrs. Hou has something to come here. She is just accompanying her. Bai Dasinong is now promoted to a first-class official by the emperor. Miss Bai But Mrs. Shen, the rich daughter of a high-ranking official, always pays attention to well-matched families when it comes to marriage, who do you think is worthy of her status in our town?"
When Mrs. Shen heard that Bai Guli's background was so big, her eyes widened and she took a deep breath.
At the beginning, Lord Wang was their parents' official, but he was just a sesame official. Now even if he is the prefect of Antelope City, he is only in the fourth rank.
The local fourth grade is completely different from the fourth grade in the capital, let alone the first grade.
She had heard that a person with a higher rank could crush someone to death, let alone one that was that much higher.
All the high-ranking officials in the entire Chu Dynasty could be counted with both hands.
