Chapter six hundred and thirty fifth meeting a scholar
Now that Liu Xuyang is engaged, even if the couple does not live in the countryside in the future, they will occasionally come back for a short stay, and the house is obviously not enough.
In addition, the Liu family also has a descendant who is an official, and their children and grandchildren have also started to do business. Even the grandmother-in-law's shop is making a lot of money. Sooner or later, the family will have more servants, so they plan to build an additional house in the spring.
This time the Liu family was not polite and directly asked the Bai family to borrow money and planned to build a larger yard at once.
It's not as good as the Bai family's, but it still has a small courtyard for each of the children and grandchildren, which will be convenient for future marriages.
As the only granddaughter of the Liu family, Liu Xu is also the first master of the Liu family to have a servant, a little girl about the same age as her, who happens to be a companion.
"These two girls, if Mrs. Youya hadn't taught them the rules, they would have been crazy all day long." Mrs. Liu looked at her granddaughter and her granddaughter running away, and laughed and cursed.
Now the Liu family is no longer an ordinary farm family, and Mrs. Liu and the others would rather Liu Xu learn more rules.
Since the girl is young, her family's conditions will only be better in the future, so she will not be aggrieved in marriage affairs.
"At this age, it's the time to be careless. Let them have fun. When the marriage is arranged, they will have to stay at home and be bored." Liu Zhenyou said after experiencing the pain of a white-haired person giving away a black-haired person.
, most of all, I agree that it is good for the children to be happy, and I have always been very tolerant of the younger generation.
"It's only because they have elders like you that they dare to act like this and not follow the rules. Neither the Bai family nor the Liu family are the farm families they used to be. If they are like this now, they will suffer a lot in the future." Old Mrs. Liu disagreed.
He snorted happily, but had no intention of calling him back.
Liu Zhenyou smiled and said nothing. He just brought his granddaughter's bowl in front of him and pushed Bai Xing's remaining wontons in front of Bai Sanshu.
"We are from farmers, and we don't want to forget our roots at any time, so don't waste food." Liu Zhenyou said this to Bai Sanshu, and it was also a reminder to the people around him.
If you have money, you can live the life of a wealthy person.
But those who have gone through hardship should never forget their origins or their original intentions.
Everyone lowered their heads in silence and ate the wontons in their bowls, feeling that they tasted much better than before.
Perhaps it was recalling the hardships I had suffered. At that time, even in my dreams, I could not imagine eating a bowl of hot wontons.
Besides, Bai Xing pulled the catkins into the crowd and watched a group of people performing acrobatics. She couldn't help but clap her hands and cheer.
This is not the first time Bai Xing has seen such a performance, but it is not something he sees often, so it is naturally interesting to watch.
"Okay, here's another one." Bai Xing cheered, not forgetting to reward him with a silver ingot, about two ounces worth.
Liuxu's pocket money was not as much as Bai Xing's, so he rewarded her with a few copper coins. It was a thought after all, and it was better than those who just watched the fun for nothing.
The juggling troupe here thanked the two, but there were also some people with malicious intentions who targeted the two.
To be precise, he was targeting Bai Xing, who was better dressed and more generous with his moves.
The two of them watched the excitement for a while, and Liu Xing pulled Bai Xing's sleeves and said, "Cousin, let's go back. I just saw a pair of flowers in a small stall, which looked like we don't have them. I bought them as gifts.
you."
"Okay." Bai Xing hadn't seen enough yet, but thought about coming out for a while, so she agreed.
The two sisters turned around and walked back, not noticing that at some point, the onlookers around them had changed.
When turning around, Bai Xing accidentally stepped on the foot of the person next to her and hurriedly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it, wasn't it hurt?" Bai Xing said sincerely.
"It's really unlucky. You can get stepped on even if you are just joining in the fun. Just treat it like being stepped on by a dog." The man cursed and walked away.
"Why did you say that? My cousin didn't mean it, and it seemed like you apologized. How could you curse someone?" Liu Xu was furious and wanted to argue with that person.
"Forget it, if it were us, we would be in a bad mood. After all, it was my fault first." Bai Xing held Liu Xu and stopped her from coming forward, so as not to cause further trouble.
The two sisters were about to walk back when Bai Xing suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly touched her purse.
"Cousin, quickly check if your wallet is still there?" Bai Xing asked in a low voice.
"Ah! My wallet is missing, but there are hundreds of pennies in it!" Liuxu shouted subconsciously.
"We encountered a thief. Let's go back quickly so that nothing happens again." Seeing Liu Xu looking around, Bai Xing hurriedly pulled her hard. "We will wait until there are more people at the meeting. If we get separated, we will meet again."
Human traffickers are in trouble. My second sister often says that you can avoid disaster by losing money, so let’s just throw away the bad luck."
"This girl is absolutely right, you can avoid disaster by losing money."
A handsome scholar came over, holding their wallets in his hand, and handed them over with a fan.
"The few people just now were planning to sell you to Yazi for money after the two girls chased after them. The young man happened to hear it, so he paid more attention to it. However, there were so many of them that the young man had no power to restrain the chicken, so he could only
Let the entourage follow them first, hoping that there will be a chance to hand them over to the government, so that at least they will not harm anyone again tonight."
Liuxu grabbed the two purses, thrust Bai Xing's into her hands, and counted her coins in front of everyone.
"Thank you for helping me, sir. I think you are kind and don't ask for repayment, so I'll leave you alone." Bai Xing looked at the scholar warily, stretched her lower body, and left with the catkins she hadn't finished counting.
Looking at the back of Bai Xing walking away quickly, the scholar touched his face and said helplessly: "Do I look like a bad person? I have done good things, but I am treated as a thief. This is the first time.
Right? Interesting."
After Bai Xing and his wife returned home, they did not tell their family what they had just experienced to avoid being scolded.
But Liuxu was distressed about the lost money bag and forgot about buying the first flower.
Beijing.
The Lantern Festival in the Han Palace was extremely deserted.
Because the Princess of Han did not see any guests, all the guests who came took a sip of tea, left gifts and left.
Bai Cao was touched by Bai Ling's light, and he said a few words to Princess Han, but looking at Princess Han's complexion, he didn't want to disturb her, so he said goodbye to Yang Fan and left.
"I really didn't expect that Prince Han would be killed on the way to see off his bride. It's a pity that the real murderer has not been found so far. It's no wonder that the princess is in such pain." Baicao didn't think that deeply, and just sighed.
Since Yang Fan returned from completing his mission, Shangguan Yu has not arranged anything for him, and has temporarily left the military affairs to others, allowing him to stay in the capital with Baicao to wait for the birth.
In addition, Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu are about to get married, so Yang Fan should attend this wedding banquet no matter what his position is.
"You are a pregnant woman, don't be sad, be careful. The child will be a crybaby in the future. The second sister is about to marry the prince, and I think the princess will be in a better mood. When you are free in the future, just come and visit the princess from time to time." Yang Fan comforted in a low voice,
I'm afraid that Baicao will have mood swings again.
"Come with me to the embroidery workshop tomorrow. I want to take a look at the second sister's wedding dress. It must be perfect. And I want you to ask someone to find a shop, or a farm, or a farm, so that you can make a dowry for the second sister.
, how are you looking for?" Bai Cao's attention was immediately diverted and he asked eagerly. (To be continued)
