Chapter two hundred and eighty second marriage proposal
Bai Ling submitted the post, but it took two days for her to receive a reply. Xiao Muqing invited her to attend the flower-viewing banquet instead of meeting her alone.
"Miss Xiao... if the master doesn't want to, just don't go." Haitang has been with Bai Ling for a long time, and she knows how to guess the master's thoughts.
"Ha." Bai Ling chuckled, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "It doesn't matter if we go, now that I am the princess, participating in the flower viewing banquet will give her face."
"Then go down and prepare some new clothes and hair for the girl. This is the first time for the girl to attend a banquet in the capital." Haitang said.
"Well, just look at the arrangements." Bai Ling said nonchalantly.
Xiao Muqing's behavior made Bai Ling unhappy, but thinking about the friendship in the past, she didn't want to think too deeply about it.
I went to attend the banquet this time. If Xiao Muqing really changed, I would just go back and forth with him in the future.
However, the next day, Xiao Mu came to the door in person and brought gifts to congratulate Bai Ling on her move-in, which surprised Bai Ling.
"Master Xiao, long time no see." Bai Ling had a good impression of this gentle and jade-like young master, but he was not very close to him.
The location of this house is not good, but it is an ordinary second-level house. It was just bought a few days ago, and I just need to clean it up briefly. It is more convenient than living in an inn.
"If Miss Bai hadn't handed over the post, Xiao wouldn't have known that Miss Bai had come to the capital. It was the first time Qing'er held a flower-viewing banquet. She was really tired, so she couldn't greet Miss Bai these two days. Please forgive her.
.Xiao Mou apologizes to Miss Bai here, and after the flower viewing banquet, he will invite the girl into the house to thank the girl for her kindness in saving Qing'er."
Xiao Mu always talks little, and rarely speaks a long string of words, which looks very sincere.
Bai Ling smiled and said, "Young Master Xiao is serious. Qing'er is the daughter of a wealthy family, so it's normal to be busy. I will stay in the capital for a while this time, and I need Young Master Xiao to take care of some things."
If you want to buy some decent property, it is difficult to buy it if you don't know the rich and powerful, otherwise Bai Ling will not waste the favor.
"Whenever Miss Bai needs it, Xiao will definitely do his best." Xiao Mu smiled lightly, with no trace of reluctance on Ruyu's face, and waved his hand to signal the boy to present a brocade box, "This belongs to Miss Bai."
Please ask Miss Bai to check the remuneration and the amount of silver sold for the jade."
"I certainly trust Mr. Xiao, Haitang, please accept it." Bai Ling did not open the box to look at it.
After saying a few more words, Xiao Mu took his leave. After all, this house only had Bai Ling as its master, and he was not suitable to stay for a long time.
Although Xiao Mu didn't say anything, Bai Ling also knew that the Xiao family had long known that she had arrived in the capital.
But no one in the Xiao family invited her to visit her, because they just felt that Bai Ling's treatment of Xiao Muqing was a waste of money, and her status was not high enough for a wealthy family.
As a friend, Xiao Muqing didn't express anything, which made Bai Ling a little sad.
In fact, Bai Ling misunderstood Xiao Mu. After he sent Xiao Muqing back to the capital, he went to deal with matters elsewhere. He had just come back. When he learned that Bai Ling had bought a house in the capital, he immediately came to send congratulatory gifts. This shows that he was sincere.
.
On the other hand, the Xiao family, as Bai Ling thought, did not think they owed Bai Ling any favors, and did not take a princess from a peasant family to heart.
But what Xiao Muqing did... no matter what the reason was, it really shouldn't be done.
"Master, there is no need to be unhappy for such a person." Haitang frowned, unable to think of anything else to say to comfort her.
"Do I look unhappy?"
Bai Ling asked back and said with a faint smile:
"Isn't this better? I have a cooperative relationship with Mr. Xiao, so we don't need to have too much contact. As for Miss Xiao, we are not from the same place. A friendly greeting is enough when we meet."
Haitang looked at her master and saw that Bai Ling was not too sad, so she felt relieved.
"From now on, you have to stay with me more often. You don't have to follow the past rules in everything. Your life only lasts for a few decades, so live a more relaxed life."
Bai Ling stood up, knocked on his sore shoulders and said:
"We have just added a cook, and I don't know how good her skills are. Let them prepare some special dishes tonight. You accompany me to Zhuangzi tomorrow to have a look. In the future, I will leave it to the eldest sister as a dowry. I have to make sure that the manpower is trustworthy, but I can't
I’ve left a scrofula for my eldest sister, so I’ll go and take a nap for a while.”
Having already gone to the palace to thank Wan En, Bai Ling didn't have to restrain herself, but was absolutely free.
In a place like the capital that is full of noble people, even if Bai Ling, a princess famous for her medical skills, became a topic of conversation after dinner, it was quickly drowned out, and no one paid much attention to it.
Bai Ling was busy buying property here, and the whole family in Nanshan Village was shocked.
Shangguan Yu brought the official media to the house to propose marriage. This time he did not conceal his identity. When he came to the house, he brought a team of personal guards with him, which really shocked the Bai family.
The official media looked at the stunned Bai family and wanted to speak several times, but seeing that Shangguan Yu was not in a hurry, they could only wait for them to calm down before talking about business.
"Brother Shangguan, are you asking to marry my second sister?" In the end, the younger Bai Xing spoke first, and the question was straightforward, "My second sister said that the man she wants to marry can only marry her.
You are a young commander and a prince, can you do it?"
As a fan girl, Bai Xing protects Bai Ling a little more than her parents.
Bai Sanshu and others originally wanted to scold Bai Xing, but after hearing her words, they all looked at Shangguan Yu.
At this time, Shangguan Yu was just a man who came to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage, not a handsome prince.
No matter how good your life experience is, it's not as important as your daughter's happiness, right?
"I can do it." Shangguan Yu firmly promised.
Looking at his sister-in-law's serious expression, Shangguan Yu only felt cute. This girl really loved her sister.
"But all powerful men have three wives and four concubines. Can you not have concubines in the future and not have sex with each other?" Bai Xing asked again.
"In all the kings of Han Dynasty, there was only one woman in the backyard, the princess." Shangguan Yu said with a smile.
"In this case, you are still qualified to ask to marry my second sister. But..." Bai Xing tilted her head, still satisfied with Shangguan Yu, but still said: "Although you are very good-looking, you will also treat my second sister well.
But our daughter’s marriage has to be decided by herself. My second sister is not at home now, so you should go back first."
The official media almost choked on their tea.
The Bai family is indeed a farmer, and this important matter of marriage is actually answered by a little girl?
"The fourth girl is right, we can't make the decision in this matter, we have to listen to the second girl." Bai Sanshu also followed, and Bai Liu nodded naturally.
Shangguan Yu was not surprised, but he really liked how the Bai family valued and loved Bai Ling.
"I came to propose marriage today, and it was Ling'er who agreed. However, Ling'er is not at home, and it's okay if my uncle and aunt don't make the decision. I just want people outside to know that Bai Ling is already married. When the formal proposal comes,
, the father and mother will come to the door in person to show their sincerity."
Shangguan Yu did not hide his purpose, stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"Ling'er is still in the capital. I'm going to the capital to look for her soon. Do my uncle and aunt have anything to say or something that I need to take with me?"
"Of course, just wait." Bai Liu stood up immediately and walked quickly towards the backyard.
Compared to Shangguan Yu's proposal for marriage, Mrs. Bai Liu was more responsive to being able to bring something to her daughter. This way of loving her daughter was also unique.
In just a few breaths, only the servants serving tea were left in the lobby, and then there were Shangguan Yu and the matchmaker.
Seeing the smile on Shangguan Yu's face, the corners of the matchmaker's mouth couldn't help but twitch. (To be continued)
