On the way home, Qi Zhen asked with a smile: "Are you feeling comfortable?"
"I'm relieved. I feel much better after tricking them." Bai Banxia smiled treacherously, "I just didn't expect that they were still thinking about Chen Rufeng. How could they think they could force me to agree to help?"
"Putting family affection on you, plus Chen Rufeng's profit." Qi Zhen summed it up well.
Bai Banxia raised her eyebrows evilly, "They overestimated themselves, or overestimated my grandparents, and underestimated me and my parents."
"That's true, even if they persuade your grandparents, your parents will not force you out of filial piety." Qi Zhen laughed, envying her parents again.
"My parents are the best parents in the world, so I'm happy, right?" Bai Banxia smiled even more openly. She didn't realize it herself. She didn't have such a public and wanton effect in her previous life.
"Happiness." Qi Zhen liked her like this and felt a little unable to take his eyes away.
Bai Banxia grabbed him and said, "From now on, my parents will also be your parents and will treat you well, so you will be very happy too."
Qi Zhen felt warm in his heart and pulled her into his arms, "And you are so kind to me. I am very happy."
The sudden hug made her heartbeat skip a beat. Bai Banxia secretly laughed at herself for not living up to expectations. She had saved so many people in her previous life and experienced so many big scenes without being nervous. Why did her heart beat faster after being hugged by a handsome guy?
?
He must be too good-looking and his smile is too evil!
"Don't smile like that at others," she said fiercely, "something will happen."
Qi Zhen now understood the reason why she didn't allow him to smile in the first place, saying that he looked like a bad guy when he smiled. His smile couldn't help but widen, "I only smile like this for you."
It's over, it's over, men are so seductive, who can resist this?
"Okay, it's bad to be seen on the road." She blushed and pushed him away gently.
The sudden emptiness in his arms made Qi Zhen a little reluctant to let go, but he knew that he would give it up when he was ready, and he could hold her at any time after he got married.
The two returned to Bai's house and handed over the bacon and shochu that Mrs. Jin had given them before leaving, and expressed the Jin family's gratitude.
"Thank you for your hard work, how is your aunt?" The old man was still a little worried about his daughter and couldn't help but ask.
"It looks pretty good, and he even yelled at me." Bai Banxia said lightly.
The old man was a little embarrassed and coughed twice, "You don't need to pay attention to her. She was spoiled by me and it's my fault."
Finally admitting that Bai He was spoiled, he has made some progress.
"How are Jinbao's legs? Did you show them?" the old lady asked.
Bai Banxia glanced at her lightly again and said, "No, the Jin family should have asked a doctor to take a look. Why do I need to worry about it?"
"That's your cousin, why are you so nosy?" the old lady asked dissatisfied.
"My aunt was very dissatisfied with me. She wanted to steal the money when I gave it to her. The money must be returned to the Jin family, so naturally she couldn't give it to her. As a result, my aunt directly said in public that I wanted to use this to make conditions for the Jin family. This
What do people think of our Bai family?"
Bai Banxia continued: "Fortunately, Grandma Jin is a sensible person, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain it clearly. Do I dare to show it to Jin Bao? If there is something that I can't explain clearly, then the problem will be even deeper."
At this time, the old lady was blocked. The old man's face didn't look good, and he said angrily: "You are so ignorant. Without your help to recover the money, I don't know where the money is. It's too much to talk like this."
You don’t care about our Bai family’s face anymore.”
The old man loves face, and this time he felt that Bai He's behavior had directly slapped the Bai family in the face, and almost caused a misunderstanding between the two families.
"It's her fault. The money belongs to the Jin family, and it's not her turn to get it." The old lady rarely said a fair word.
"But this matter has passed. The Jin family will not let my uncle separate. As long as my aunt and the others live their lives, they will still have no worries about food and clothing." Bai Banxia smiled brightly.
The two elders of the Bai family felt relieved, but Bai Tian saw that his daughter was not smiling easily, and he knew in his heart that Bai He must have been dealt with. If his daughter took action, he would not be worried. Does his daughter have the temperament to suffer the consequences?
However, Bai Tian couldn't help but think of his daughter's boring temperament when she was a child, and felt that she was lucky enough to study medicine as a teacher. With her confidence, her temperament also changed.
So when Bai Banxia proposed to send Xiao Cao to study for enlightenment, Bai Tian was particularly supportive.
"Girls must be capable so that they will have confidence in the future and never suffer any loss," Bai Tian said.
Zhang Lingzhi also agreed very much, "The children are now reading and literate, and it is worth our efforts no matter how hard we work."
The old lady said disdainfully: "It's not a small expense for Sanlang and Silang to go to school. How old is Erya? Just study at home. Why spend that money? Why don't you save it for her dowry."
Erya is what the old lady usually calls Xiaocao. Previously, the Bai family had a granddaughter named Bai Banxia, who was Da Ya. But she used to be fat, so the old lady liked to call her Fat Ya.
Now Bai Banxia is Da Ya and Xiao Cao is Er Ya.
"Money is an external possession, but spending money to study can last a lifetime," Bai Banxia said.
At this time, Brother Erlang, who was studying in the room, came out and said: "I also agree with Banxia's idea. Girls are good at studying. My husband also plans to enlighten Nan Qian next year. I heard from my husband that there are many women in Beijing.
They can all study together with men, and there are even female officials in the court. If Xiaocao becomes a female official in the future, she might be able to earn a job for you, grandma."
The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard about the imperial edict. Her father was a scholar and when she was a child, she always told her grandmother that she would earn an imperial edict for her mother after high school. The old lady grew up under this influence and yearned for the imperial edict very much.
"Can't I count on you? Why is it so easy to be a female official?" the old lady said again.
Erlang smiled and waved his hand, "Grandma, I started too late and haven't laid a good foundation. I wish I could be as small as Xiaocao and study hard. So among us, Xiaocao is the most promising.
"
Xiaocao's mood continued to rise and fall as she listened. Seeing that her grandparents did not agree with her going to study, she was a little disappointed, but she didn't want her sister to argue with her grandparents, so she just wanted to say that she didn't want to study anymore.
Unexpectedly, Brother Erlang actually said that she was the most promising. Could she really be promising? Then she wanted to earn a living for her sister and come back!
No one expected that Erlang's words would be a great encouragement to a child. In the future, after Xiaocao walks out on a flower path, every time the Bai family thinks of this time, they say that Erlang can really see people, and he can see them at a glance.
There is a lot of potential in Xiaocao. But Bai Shengming just smiled and said that it was Banxia who taught him well.
The old lady was relieved and didn't stop her anymore. After all, Banxia's family paid for Xiaocao's education, and their families were already separated, so they really couldn't say anything.
The old man also nodded and agreed, only telling Mr. and Mrs. Baitian not to work too hard.
