On the way home, Bai Ling met Bai Mei who looked happy and stopped the carriage.
"Cousin, we have separated. We will live alone after our second marriage. I am no longer afraid of being betrayed!" Bai Mei said loudly and happily, not minding being listened to by others at all.
"Congratulations." Bai Ling said lightly, but he was really happy for Bai Mei.
In ancient times, women could not help but have their own destiny. If they did not have parents who loved them, their marriage would be decided by everyone and they would have no way to resist.
"Thank you!" Bai Mei accepted with a smile. The cautious feeling of the past disappeared and there was a little more sunshine. "But our family was only allocated two acres of land, two taels of silver and the house we live in now, and the ration was less than one
One hundred catties. If it weren't for the money you gave me, I'd be afraid I wouldn't be able to survive this winter."
"That's what you deserve." Bai Ling said.
"Are you going home? I won't delay you. My father asked me to find someone to build a stove under the window. In a few days, we won't be able to use the kitchen together. When next spring comes, my family will also
Go out and build a house, probably just three mud houses, so you don't have to look at their faces anymore."
After Bai Mei finished speaking, she waved to Bai Ling and jumped away.
Looking at Bai Mei's happy back, Bai Ling suddenly felt that people can change. The little girl who used to love to scratch her nails and was greedy has now grown up.
"Go home." Putting down the car curtain, Bai Ling ordered.
It was snowing lightly today, and as soon as Bai Ling arrived home, the concierge informed him that a guest was coming, saying he was a master from the capital.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling immediately tidied up his clothes and hair accessories, then held an umbrella and went to the flower hall where he was waiting for guests.
At this moment, all the Bai family were in the flower hall, and there were six strangers. Bai Ling looked at them one by one without leaving a trace, bowed and saluted before saying hello to his family.
"Two... Ling'er, these guys said they were the wives you invited. Look..." Bai Liu said with some uncertainty. After all, there were two men on the other side, so it was obviously not suitable to teach a girl.
"You all have worked so hard to come all the way. Why don't you go to the guest room to rest for a while? After the dinner party, we can greet you and get acquainted with each other." Seeing that the girl and the two children looked tired, Bai Ling said.
.
"Thank you for being so tolerant, girl. We are more respectful than obeying orders." The young woman stood up and replied. She was quite fond of Bai Ling's attitude, and her heart finally calmed down.
"Aunt Fu, prepare some soothing incense and send someone over to serve you. Don't neglect it," Bai Ling ordered.
"yes."
Aunt Fu agreed and secretly told the master, his wife and several other girls that they still needed some experience, but they didn't even notice that some of the guests looked unhealthy, which was not the way to treat guests.
"My wife has already prepared a room for you. Please come with me."
After all, Mrs. Bai Liu is the matron of the family, so when Aunt Fu speaks, she still needs to be a bit flattering.
The candidate chosen by Shangguan Yu for his wife was naturally a smart person, so he didn't say much after hearing the words, and the young woman thanked him on behalf of the group.
Bai Ling's eyes fell on the young man who stood up last. Although the young man was dressed in a low-key manner, the jade pendant he wore was of extraordinary quality. He would never be so down-to-earth as a teacher.
And although the young man never said a word, his eyes fell on Bai Ling vaguely, and his demeanor was even more difficult for others to ignore.
The two people's eyes met, and Bai Ling nodded generously, without any sense of embarrassment.
The young man was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect Bai Ling to be so special, without any hesitation, and he seemed to be confused by Bai Ling's beauty.
But in just a moment, the young man bowed his hands, turned around and left with his wife and his family.
"Second girl, the people from the capital are really different. They say they are masters, but I think they are more imposing than those big men. They are not comparable to those from the rich families in the town. They are also outstanding in the county. This
People, can our family really afford it?"
Seeing the person walking away, Mrs. Bai Liu breathed a sigh of relief and asked worriedly.
"It is precisely because of their uniqueness that I want to hire them as teachers! Otherwise, when Xiaoshan becomes a high official in the future, we sisters will hold him back," Bai Ling said jokingly.
"Second sister, don't worry. When Xiaoshan becomes a high official, he won't let others bully the sisters." Bai Xiaoshan said with his fists clenched.
"Okay, second sister, I can rest assured because of you. It doesn't matter if you can't learn your talents. Anyway, we have a backer." Bai Ling looked like he had a younger brother who would be able to do everything.
Bai Cao and others chuckled, but Bai Xiaoshan was serious and nodded in agreement with Bai Ling's words.
"Mom, you don't need to be formal. We are from the countryside. We just behave as we should. When we learn the rules, we just need to be serious. When we encounter certain occasions in the future, we will put on airs. At home, we should always be restrained and behave ourselves.
How tiring it is.”
Knowing that Bai Liu had low self-esteem, Bai Ling started to enlighten her seriously after a few jokes.
"The second sister is right. We don't necessarily go to socialize with those rich and powerful people in this life. We just learn something to broaden our horizons. If you like it, learn more. If you feel tired, don't study. In our hearts
Boss, mother is the best." Baicao also comforted her.
"Let me tell you, learning talents is a waste of time. It's better to earn more money." Bai Wei said without any ambition.
"It's not easy for the second sister to invite a few wives. We should all learn from it." Bai Xing, however, did not feel repelled by this matter and said innocently: "Not many people can ask for such an opportunity. We can't live up to it.
My second sister’s thoughts.”
"Look at our thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket, the second sister loves you so much!" Bai Ling blew a kiss and said with a wink, "In a few days, the second sister will go to town to hand in the drawings, and then I will give you a unique set of jewelry.
I’m sure our little girl is the most outstanding in every village in the world!”
Bai Xing's face turned red, she covered her mouth in embarrassment and laughed, "I knew it would be good if I got the second sister's thoughts right."
"Stinky girl, how dare you play tricks on me!" Bai Ling deliberately made a tigerish face and pounced on Bai Xing to scratch Bai Xing's itches.
Seeing the sisters having fun, Bai Liu's tense heart completely relaxed.
The Liu family was originally a family of farmers and scholars. The Bai Liu family had studied and practiced calligraphy with her father and brother since she was a child. She was also famous as a "talented girl" in the villages around ten miles away. The matchmaker had even broken the threshold of the Liu family.
But being tortured in the old house for many years made Bai Liu forget how beautiful those days were when she was immersed in poetry and songs.
Guest room.
After the young man was led to his residence, he was left alone.
On the other hand, the other five people looked like a family at first glance.
The two little guys couldn't help feeling sleepy and had already fallen asleep, while the two ladies were talking to the girl.
"Brother, sister-in-law, it's Diexiang who has caused trouble for you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be a remote village chief teaching those country girls to make a living." Meng Diexiang sobbed in a low voice, and her tired face turned even pale.
a bit.
"Don't say such things again. You are my only sister. It's my brother's incompetence to blame. Apart from taking you away from the world, he doesn't even have the ability to fight against that person." Master Meng apologetically held his wife and sister in his hands.
Hands, can not help but feel sentimental.
"We are a family. No matter what happens, the most important thing is to be able to help each other. Don't think about the past. From now on, we will settle down here and there is nothing wrong with it. At least there will be no fighting here."
Mrs. Ya's elegant smile has her own charm.
"There is only one thing that my sister-in-law needs to explain to you. Since you have chosen to come here, the head of the family is our boss. You are not allowed to do anything disrespectful. Especially the second girl who came late today, you must respect her."
