"You are a lady, why are you asking about your husband? If it were someone else, why is it Tang Ming, the widower? Gu Li, you are not young, and your grandparents are worried about your marriage, but that doesn't mean you can find someone at will.
Marry yourself. If you want to marry, you must also consider your own status. If Tang Ming were not a widower today, I would never say anything."
In fact, Bai Guli was debating whether to marry Tang Ming, but she was somewhat reluctant in her heart.
She knew that it was not easy to be a stepmother, and if she had another child in the future, the child would always be lower than the original wife's.
But after listening to Xiangtao's words, and now hearing Luo Jiaocheng's rebuttal, she suddenly felt that these were nothing, and immediately replied: "When I came out, my grandmother said that if I fall in love with someone, the other person will
If he is a good citizen, then that’s fine.”
Luo Jiaocheng frowned when he heard this: "I think you should know that your grandmother's original intention was not like this. She loves you, but she can't ask you to be the stepmother of a down-and-out scholar. Gu Li, you are the Baifu
Miss, the legitimate daughter of the grandson, if you really marry Tang Ming, your grandparents, parents, and others will all be laughed at if word spreads about it. And in the eyes of the world, you can't get married, so you have to marry someone.
If you are a widower, your family's reputation will also suffer. Gu Li, you can't just think about yourself, you also have to think about the well-being of your grandparents."
When Luo Jiaocheng said this, she saw that Bai Guli wanted to speak, and immediately raised her hand to prevent her from speaking, and said directly: "You pack up today and tomorrow, and we will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow. No matter what, you are following me.
Come out, no matter what, I have to take you back. Let's set off now, it will be the twelfth lunar month when we arrive in the capital. If you have anything to do, wait until after the New Year. Don't anger your grandparents, it will not even be a good year."
Bai Guli had a lot to say, but after hearing Luo Jiaochao's words, he immediately swallowed them all.
"Um!"
Luo Jiaochun saw that she seemed a little unwilling, and was deeply afraid that she would run out to find Tang Ming, so she ordered: "It's freezing outside now, so it's not appropriate for a girl like you to run out all the time. These days, you
Don't go out, pack your luggage yourself, and when Tao Zi has packed everything, we'll set off."
When Bai Guli heard that Luo Jiaocheng was trying to prevent her from running away, he was immediately unhappy.
She is about to return to the capital, and once she leaves, she doesn't know when she will come back.
She wanted to go see Xiaoba before leaving.
"Aunt Jiaochi, I want to go see Xiaoba and tell her about my return to Beijing, isn't it okay?"
Luo Jiaochu was on guard against this, and immediately shook her head: "No! You just stay in the house, with Xiaoba, and when we leave, let Taozi tell her. If you don't worry, let Taozi
Just take more care of her then."
In Luo Jiaocheng's view, Bai Guli said he was going to say goodbye to Xiaoba, but he was afraid that the drunkard was not drinking, but actually he wanted to see Tang Ming.
She must not let them come into contact now, at least until she can safely bring Bai Guli back to the capital.
Hearing this, Bai Guli pursed his lips, and after a while he said, "It's okay if I don't go out. Then I wonder if I can ask Xiaoba to come over? It won't take long, just an hour, okay?"
"good!"
From Luo Jiaocheng's point of view, as long as Bai Guli was not allowed to see Tang Ming, everything would be easy.
Xiaoba is just a child, what does he know?
At most, when Bai Guli wants Xiaoba to deliver a letter, they will step in to stop him.
What's more, in her opinion, this matter could not be said to be because Bai Guli was hot-tempered, so Tang Ming had no intention of her at all.
Otherwise, she had been in Tuofeng Town for a month, and she didn't even see Tang Ming come to Yan Mansion. Bai Guli ran to Tang Ming's house on her own.
When Bai Guli heard Luo Jiaocheng's agreement, he breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled.
She didn't know what she was nervous about.
Luo Jiaocheng did not ask anyone to call Xiaoba over that day, but did not ask someone to bring her over until the afternoon of the next day.
She is ready and will set off early tomorrow morning.
It's not too late for Bai Guli and Xiaoba to meet now.
Xiaoba was brought here by Xiangtao. When she saw Bai Guli throwing herself into her arms very affectionately, she screamed: "Auntie!"
When Bai Guli saw Xiaoba and heard her calling her aunt, his heart instantly softened.
I can't wait to bring all the good things to her, just to make this little guy happy.
"Have you missed your aunt, Xiaoba?"
Xiaoba nodded his head vigorously: "I think about it, Xiaoba misses his aunt so much."
After the little guy said this, his eyes suddenly turned red when he thought of Xiang Tao telling her that Aunt Bai Guli was going back tomorrow: "Auntie, please don't leave, okay?"
Seeing her like this, Bai Guli felt heartbroken. He stretched out his hands to hug her and sit on his lap, and said softly: "It's the Chinese New Year. My aunt's home is not here. My aunt's family has parents, grandparents, and they are waiting.
Auntie is going home to celebrate the New Year.”
When Xiaoba heard this, his tears fell down, and finally he buried his head in Bai Guli's arms, and started crying with his shoulders twitching.
"What's wrong with Xiaoba? Tell aunt, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Xiaoba doesn't want Auntie to leave, how about Auntie staying here?"
The little guy's voice of grievance came from Bai Guli's arms.
At such a young age, she vaguely knew that once Bai Guli left, she would probably never see this aunt who was like a mother again.
Xiaoba's mother died when she was born. Although Tang Ming loved her, there was only so much a grown man could take care of her.
In addition, he has no money and no one to take care of him at home. Therefore, Xiaoba is alone and inevitably looks lonely.
It was okay when Xiao Nian'an was around, and she could still play with her little brother. Later, she was alone again, and she gradually got used to it.
She saw that other little brothers, sisters, or younger brothers and sisters all had mothers who cared for them and loved them, but she didn't, so she was very envious. yyls
But since Bai Guli came, this was the first time she met such a good aunt, who was just like her mother.
This aunt will hug her and kiss her, make delicious food for her, play with her, dress her, tie her hair, buy her nice clothes, etc.
She doesn't want this aunt to leave, she wants to keep her as her mother.
When Xiaoba cried, Bai Guli felt that his heart was about to break.
But thinking of what Luo Jiaochao said, she reached out and gently stroked Xiao Ba's little head, comforting her softly: "Auntie has her own home and is going back to celebrate the New Year. Just like Xiao Ba has her own father and grandfather,
My aunt is there too. My aunt has been here for so long. They will miss her and want her to go back. Xiao Ba is good. When Xiao Ba grows up, if he still misses his aunt, then he will go to the capital to find his aunt."
Hearing this, Xiao Ba raised his eyes that were red from crying, looked up at Bai Guli and said, "Then Xiao Ba's aunt's family will be fine, so that she doesn't have to go back. Aunt, can you be Xiao Ba's mother?"
?”
After Bai Guli said so much, Xiaoba concluded that because it was the Chinese New Year, Bai Guli wanted to go home because he had family.
Then she becomes Bai Guli's family member, so Bai Guli doesn't have to go back.
When Bai Guli heard Xiaoba's words, his heart skipped a beat and his hands shook unconsciously. He looked at Xiaoba and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Chi Shao stood there at the door of the hall. She was sent here by Luo Jiaocheng to keep an eye on Bai Guli, because she was afraid that Bai Guli would turn around and ask Xiaoba to pass some letters or something.
At this moment, she heard Xiaoba's words in the hall, but Bai Guli didn't refute. She immediately raised her eyebrows, cleared her throat uncomfortably and walked in.
"Miss Xiaoba, Miss Guli cannot be your mother. Are you hungry? I have made some cakes in the kitchen. Can I take you over to eat?"
Xiao Ba knew that Yan Zhai's pastries were delicious, and she liked them too. But at the moment, her attention was all on Bai GuLi, and she didn't want to ask her to leave.
At this moment, she heard Chi Shao say that Bai Guli could not be her mother, so she knelt down on Bai Guli's lap, stretched out her small hands to wrap around her neck, and looked at Chi Shao: "No cake, Xiao Ba wants
As a mother-in-law, I want it!"
When Chi Shao faced a girl who was a few months older than Xiao Nian'an, but still under five years old, and who seemed not as smart as Xiao Nian'an, she didn't know how to answer for a while.
You can't say that your father's status is not worthy of the eldest lady of the Bai family, right?
Even if I say it, can a little girl like her understand it?
It might be better if Tang Ming had never married a real wife, but if he did, it would be impossible.
How could the eldest lady of the White House be a step-in-law, and this person was still a small official.
If word of this spreads out, where will the faces of Bai Dasinong and Baifu turn?
Bai Guli looked at Chi Shao, then looked down at the little girl in his arms relying on him. He sighed slightly in his heart, then picked her up and walked out.
"Are you hungry, Xiaoba?"
Xiaoba held Bai Guli's neck tightly with both hands. Hearing this, he nodded subconsciously: "Hungry!"
When Bai Guli heard this, her eyes darkened. She knew that Tang Ming was a rough man who didn't know how to take care of children.
The little girl is young and has a small appetite. She eats less, but she also gets hungry quickly. The Tang family will definitely not prepare cakes or anything, so she can only starve by herself.
She is fine now and will take good care of her, but after leaving tomorrow, Xiaoba will probably have to live the same life again.
Thinking of this, her heart tightened slightly, and her hands unconsciously hugged Xiaoba tightly.
"If Xiaoba is hungry, would you and I go to the kitchen and eat cakes?"
"good!"
Xiao Ba responded crisply, and then laid his head on Bai GuLi's shoulder, looking extremely well-behaved.
When Chi Shao saw Bai Guli carrying Xiaoba to the kitchen, she hurried to the main room and told Xiaoba that she called Bai Guli her mother.
Luo Jiaocheng couldn't sit still after hearing this. She was afraid that something might happen to Bai Guli, who had some ideas in the first place, and would not want to go back when the time came. Then she would not be able to face the people of Bai Mansion when she returned to the capital.
"Let's go and have a look in the kitchen!"
She said this and quickly walked to the kitchen without waiting for Chi Shao's reply.
She thought that Xiaoba was just a girl, and she would just meet him when she saw him. Bai Guli could only play with her.
I don't know if that little girl is young and ignorant, but she dares to say anything.
