Shangguan Yu wrote a letter, agreeing to come and marry Bai Ling on the day when the dragon raises his head in February.
Everything at home was ready, so the Bai family was not in a hurry to go back and simply stayed in the county town for another two days to give the little sisters a chance to get along.
After the Lantern Festival, Bai Ling took his sister and cousin shopping every day, mostly buying some gadgets, which was a rare moment of relaxation.
"Ah, my earring fell off." Bai Xing suddenly realized that something was missing from her ear, and hurriedly put all the things in her arms into Bai Ling's hands, "Second sister, you take your cousin to the restaurant first, and I'll go back to where I was just now.
Let’s look around the shop and I’ll find you soon.”
This pair of pearl earrings is Bai Xing’s favorite.
The pearl is not big, but it is a rare pink color, as pink and moist as a peach. It comes from Bai Ling's space and is made by Bai Ling himself.
"It's rare to see my little cousin so irritable, but it's quite fun." LiuXu chuckled.
"Let's go and order food first. Let her be careless. Today we won't order her favorite food. Let her pay for whatever she wants to eat." Bai Ling held a pile of things and pretended to complain.
The way.
Most people in Baifu County know Bai Ling. After all, Bai Ling often came to the county when the Bai family first became prosperous.
So when the three sisters went out, each of them only took a maid with them, both of whom were good at boxing and kicking.
It's just that the girls are holding more things in their hands than Bai Ling is holding, and Bai Ling can't hand them over to the girls anymore.
"My cousin is a sharp-tongued person. Whenever I order food, my little cousin and I will be the ones to come." Liu Xu didn't take it seriously.
Since the Liu family settled in Nanshan Village, Liu Xu has almost always lived in the Bai family, and has a good relationship with the Bai family sisters, especially Bai Xing.
"Huh! I won't be that tofu-hearted today, but I won't rely on you." Bai Ling deliberately teased the little girl.
The days when we can get along like this are getting shorter and shorter. How can Bai Ling be willing to not rely on his sisters?
Besides, Bai Xing held up her skirt and trotted away, for fear that someone would pick up her earrings, not even the girl.
However, the last clothing store was only a few dozen meters away, so there was no danger.
"Shopkeeper, is there anyone in the room where I was trying on clothes just now?" Bai Xing panted slightly, put her hands on the counter, and asked anxiously.
"On the contrary, a male guest came in, and he is expected to come out soon. Did the fourth lady leave something behind?" the shopkeeper asked kindly.
Everyone in Baifu County speaks well of the Bai family.
Although Bai Xing didn't come to the county town often, Bai Ling brought her here, so the shopkeeper naturally remembered it.
"My pendant fell." Bai Xing pointed to the earrings she was still wearing.
When the shopkeeper saw it, he knew that it was not a good thing that could be bought in this small county. It was very valuable.
Quickly walking out of the counter, the shopkeeper walked towards the room where Bai Xing was trying on clothes, and said: "Miss Fourth, don't worry, I'm going to ask the guest officer inside if he has tried on the clothes. If he ends up here, I should return it."
Here I am."
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Bai Xing thanked her, but was too embarrassed to follow him.
After all, it was a male customer who was trying on clothes inside, so Bai Xing should avoid suspicion at her age.
The shopkeeper stood close to the door and asked politely. The customer inside was quite talkative, so he opened the door after a while.
"But this?" The scholar asked gently, with a delicate and small earring lying in his palm.
"I don't bother you, sir. Since the young master has found it, how about I ask you to hand it over to the fourth lady?" The shopkeeper wanted to take it, but when he saw the scholar's fair hands that were not inferior to those of a woman, he didn't have the nerve to reach out.
"That's fine." The scholar smiled kindly and walked towards the direction directed by the shopkeeper. When he saw Bai Xing, he was a little surprised and said: "It turns out to be a girl. What a coincidence. The original thing will be returned, please."
Girl, put it away."
"It's you!" Bai Xing also recognized the other person and spoke in slight surprise. Realizing that he was not polite enough, he said happily: "There should be more things about the young master that night. I have troubled the young master again today. I am very grateful."
.”
"You're welcome, girl. Fortunately, I didn't lose my belongings. It's easy for me, so you don't have to be so generous." The scholar still smiled modestly and bowed his hand towards Bai Xing in return. He then lifted up the earrings and placed them on Bai Xing's outstretched hand.
Palm.
"Young master's little effort is very important to me." Bai Xing held the earrings and was too embarrassed to put them on in front of a strange man. "My second sister made these with her own hands and gave them to me. They are worth a thousand pieces of gold."
Don’t change.”
"My second sister is a clever and clever girl. I think the relationship between the two of you is also very close. I am very envious of you." The scholar said politely, but his tone was very sincere, with a little bit of unnoticeable sentimentality.
"Yes, my second sister treats me very well. The brothers and sisters in the family are very close friends. My parents often say that this is our greatest blessing."
When talking about her family, Bai Xingxiao’s eyebrows are crescent, which shows that she is really happy.
"And I have always been very grateful to my family for their kindness to me. It's a pity that I can't do anything for them, so I cherish every gift they give me and remember this intention firmly."
Bai Xing's appearance is different from her sisters, and she is more sweet.
Therefore, Bai Xing's smile was like a ray of sunshine in the morning, warm and full of vitality. When it shined into the scholar's eyes, he was so fascinated by Bai Xing's eyes.
Bai Xing didn't understand the relationship between men and women, but she felt it was inappropriate to be stared at like this, so she hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Thank you very much, sir, for today, I have to go to my second sister to say goodbye."
The scholar came back to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly averted his gaze and said, "See you later."
Bai Xing paused for a moment, not knowing whether to answer this or not, so she could only nod hastily and left the clothing store.
The shopkeeper kept an eye on the two of them, and saw that although the scholar was obsessed for a moment, he quickly came to his senses and apologized, but it was Mr. Qianqian.
"This fourth young lady of the Bai family is a well-known talented girl in Baifu County. She was originally a girl from a peasant family. Fortunately, she had a capable second sister, and she suddenly became the daughter of an official family. She grew up under the guidance of famous teachers in the capital since she was a child.
It's even better than the richest man in the capital." The shopkeeper pointedly reminded.
Looking at what the scholar was wearing before, it was not ordinary.
If you really want to, you can come to ask for marriage, maybe it will be a good match.
"What the shopkeeper is talking about, isn't it the Bai family that has a princess?" The scholar was stunned. Although he didn't understand why the shopkeeper said this, he guessed Bai Xing's origin.
"Exactly." Speaking of the Bai family, the shopkeeper said proudly: "Our Baifu County is blessed. With such a kind family like the Bai family, not only does the entire county have a good reputation, but it is also one of the best in the North.
Wealthy. When there was a flood in the south, there were a large number of refugees..."
The shopkeeper started talking and told everything he knew about the good deeds done by the Bai family and how rich the Bai family was.
The scholar didn't know whether it was out of politeness or because he was interested in the Bai family. He listened to the shopkeeper with a smile and echoed a few words before paying and leaving.
The shopkeeper sent the person to the door, looked at the scholar's leaving figure, shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm so old and confused. What is the Bai family's family background? The fourth lady's marriage should have been chosen long ago, how could she be so casual?
Make a decision? Just don’t hurt this young man.” (To be continued)
