Chapter 251 Is the white girl also admiring the moon?
The arrival of the imperial edict has made the Bai family more famous in Baifu County. It can be said that it is the first family in Wufu Town, and it has also become famous in Fucheng.
Although Bai Sanshu's status as a Yuanwailang was of no practical use, there was a huge difference between the emperor's title and the money donated. This really gave the Bai family a layer of gold.
Bai Ling's identity as the county head also made many people jealous. In addition to the rich daughter of the royal family, Bai Ling was the first civilian girl to be granted a title in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is worthy of being recorded in the history books.
The plaque inscribed by the emperor of Jishan Family is enough to benefit the descendants of the Bai family.
Due to the arrival of the imperial edict, with the enthusiasm of the whole village, the Bai family held a three-day running feast, which was also a sign of respect for the royal family.
All the squires who knew about this incident came to express their congratulations, leaving the whole family tired of socializing.
"Alas! In the past, no one came to propose marriage, so I was always thinking about it. Now they are all staring at our girls like they're squeezing their heads, and I'm really annoyed."
Resting at night, Bai Liu and Bai Sanshu complained.
"This is a good thing. My daughter has to get married when she gets older. If more people are willing to do this, we can also choose." Bai Sanshu's mouth was full of alcohol, and he closed his eyes happily and smiled stupidly.
All the things given by the emperor were enshrined, and they were reluctant to use them.
The Bai family has no shortage of money. Those things are kept to bring good fortune to future generations, and they are also distributed as dowries for several girls. They are more precious than real gold and silver.
"You pig brain, everything you think is simple. Don't even look at those people who are proposing marriage to someone in the family! Either they are sons of concubines, they are spoiled brats, or they are just taking many twists and turns.
Relatives, this is obviously looking down on our family. If my daughter really gets married in the future, will she be pinched to death?"
Pushing Bai Sanshu hard, Bai Liu said angrily.
Since the shop opened, it was the first time that Bai Liu had come into contact with so many wealthy families. When she came back, she asked Aunt Fu to give her tutoring lessons, and even went to ask the wife for advice.
Bai Liu knew a lot about some of the tricks in the wealthy compounds.
Bai Sanshu suddenly sobered up a lot from his drunkenness, and said with a sullen expression, "Really? These are not human things. Our daughter, who is Baoer's favorite, cannot be bullied by others! From now on, we can't let anyone bully us."
If anyone says something like this again, they will be kicked out directly, but don’t be sulky anymore. The children and I will still feel sorry for you later."
Mrs. Bai Liu felt much better. She also had such a plan. In the worst case, she would only farm at home and not have contact with those so-called wealthy families.
No one heard the conversation between Bai Sanshu and his wife, but Bai Cao was sitting under the vines in the backyard, which was half garden and half vegetable garden, with his cloak folded up.
After all, this is a farmer's house, and it is not suitable for growing elegant ornamental flowers. Therefore, this garden is also used for medicinal purposes, so it does not waste land.
"Miss Bai is also admiring the moon?" Yang Fan sat down and looked at Baicao across a wooden table.
Today was the Bai family's big day, but Baicao forced a smile in the second half, and Yang Fan could see it clearly.
"Brother Yang." Baicao raised the corners of his lips, feeling a bit bitter.
"I just happened to have brought some late-night snacks, let's go together." Yang Fan opened the food box, as if he didn't see anything unusual about Baicao.
As a martial arts practitioner, Yang Fan's ears were extraordinary and he naturally heard the words of those who wanted to marry the Bai family.
The candidate who wanted to marry Bai Ling was barely passable, but when it came to Bai Wei, it dropped by more than one level, and when it came to Baicao, it was even more annoying.
"Okay." Baicao nodded, smelling the aroma of the food, he realized that he was a little hungry and his hands were cold from the cold.
The two of them stopped talking after that, as if they just came out to admire the moon and met by chance.
In front of the flowers under the moon, even if there are no continuous love words, there will be ambiguous feelings coming quietly.
Old house.
He has completely severed ties with Bai Sanshu's family, and Bai Wen previously wanted to kill Bai Sanshu, so no one from the old house will be invited to the banquet held by the Bai family.
Except for giving Old Mrs. Bai ten taels of silver every year, the relationship between the two families is not as good as that of ordinary neighbors.
On the other hand, in the second room, I went over to eat at the flow table in the name of fellow villagers. When I came back, I brought a lot of leftovers from the table, which shows how good the food at the flow table is.
"Why aren't all these ignorant white-eyed wolves dead?" Mrs. Bai cursed fiercely before turning off the lights, but no one heard her.
No matter what the people in the first room think, the three people in the second room are having a normal schedule today.
The food that was distributed for dinner was heated directly, which saved a while of trouble, and Bai Ershu's snacks were also served.
After eating, seeing Bai Mei packing up the dishes and leaving, Bai Ershu said, "Let that kid come and propose marriage."
Bang!
The bowl and chopsticks fell on the table, and would have been smashed if Mrs. Bai Qi hadn't helped her in time.
"Dad, do you agree?" Bai Mei's voice trembled with joy.
"The betrothal gift will follow the rules of our village. You will get married when you are ready. If you have extra money, you can buy a few acres of land. You can live in the house here first, or you can go to the new house with us." Bai Ershu said.
When he was done, he waved Bai Mei to leave, fell onto the bed and fell asleep.
Mrs. Bai Qi hurriedly winked at Bai Mei, and the two of them took down the bowls and chopsticks and went to Bai Mei's room to talk about themselves.
"Daughter, have you really made up your mind?" Mrs. Bai Qi felt reluctant and uneasy.
"Mom, our family's reputation is such that no one in the village is willing to talk to us. It would be great if someone is willing to marry me. Besides, our family's incense cannot be broken, and he is also a good person." Bai Mei laughed at herself when she spoke, and finally
But her face turned red, which showed that she liked the other person.
"Mom doesn't have the ability to help you choose a good wife, and can't even prepare a dowry for you..." Mrs. Bai Qi wiped her tears and talked for a while, then took Bai Mei's hand and said: "Fortunately, your father has figured it out. After we get married, you will live together first."
Here, life will get better as time goes by."
"Yes." Bai Mei nodded heavily, but did not say anything about Bai Ling's promise to prepare a dowry for her.
Compared with the Bai family's reward from the emperor, Bai Mei's marriage received less attention, but people in the village would also say a few words about it.
Since the separation, the changes in Baimei have been seen by the villagers. The old house in Dudao is a place that brings harm to people. Haven't you seen that the descendants who have been separated and lived alone are developing in a good direction?
The Bai Family Courtyard also received the letter, because Bai Ling had already told her family, so Bai Liu made preparations for the dowry and asked Bai Mei to come over to talk.
"Bai Ling has prepared these for a long time. There is a piece of red satin at home. You can take it to your family later and there will be some left over to make a wedding dress."
Mrs. Bai Liu looked at Bai Mei, feeling a little complicated in her heart.
Bai Ershu almost harmed Bai Xing, but Bai Qishi once saved Bai Ling and also caused her to be unable to have children. Bai Ling told her these things, which made Bai Liu unable to hate her anymore, but also unable to get close to her.
"Thank you, Third Aunt." Bai Mei's eyes were red and she reached out to touch the silver noodle on the table.
Compared with the jewelry of Bai Ling's family, these two sets of headdresses are not eye-catching, but such a dowry can be obtained in the town, and it is definitely the first one in the countryside.
In addition to two sets of silver noodles, there are also two pieces of fine cotton cloth, a ten tael of silver notes and ten taels of broken silver, a red lacquered box and clothes from all seasons.
Seeing Bai Mei crying silently, Bai Wei, who originally wanted to say a few words, lost her mind and suddenly felt that Bai Mei was quite pitiful and should not have been born in the Bai family. (To be continued)
