"Isn't it okay to congratulate my family? You should also congratulate my Erlang brother. You also know him. You are not allowed to go and congratulate him in person?" Bai Banxia said with a smile.
He Yunlan could hardly lift his head, but he couldn't act too coy, so he had to calm down and said: "Yes, it's time to congratulate you, but I didn't bring any congratulatory gifts, so I'm really embarrassed."
"We don't pay attention to those false etiquette, just say congratulations." Bai Banxia said.
He Yunlan took Du Hui to find Bai Shengming, saluted solemnly, and said congratulations to him.
Bai Shengming's face also turned red. Fortunately, he drank wine, so others thought it was because of his facial expressions and didn't think much about it.
He was too embarrassed to say anything to He Yunlan, so he could only tell them to sit down quickly and eat and drink well.
Bai Banxia went over to keep him company, and the surroundings were bustling. He Yunlan asked in a low voice what was going on.
"You didn't even send me a message when you came back. I've been worried about it all this time." He Yunlan said with some slight complaint.
"I've been really busy since I got back." Bai Banxia whispered that they had not planned to have a drink so soon. The old man had praised Haikou and made a fuss, so Brother Erlang and her never left at all.
He Yunlan frowned, "I understand, you have worked hard too."
"My Brother Erlang is a steady man. He will only ask someone to propose marriage after the documents are received." Bai Banxia whispered, "Originally, he told his husband to help secure the match, but now Mr. Nan
His hand is injured, so I’m afraid it won’t be easy for him to run around.”
As soon as he mentioned the proposal of marriage, He Yunlan's face turned red again and her voice became softer, "You can make arrangements later."
The banquet was held until late at night. Fortunately, several women in the village took the initiative to stay and help, which relieved a lot of the burden on Bai Banxia and others.
In the next few days, Bai Banxia went to change Mr. Nan's dressing every day. Mr. Nan's injury recovered well. Although it was still a little inconvenient, he was in good spirits and mood.
Bai Shengming continued to take classes with Mr. Nan, but the old man told him to hang out with the villagers. Since he had passed the exam, why did he still study?
"I told my husband that taking the exam to become a scholar is not the end, there is no end to learning," Bai Shengming said.
The old man frowned and said, "Erlang, you are too ambitious. You must not be unrealistic. If you keep studying and taking exams, how long can your family support you?"
Bai Banxia said politely: "I'll give it, Grandpa, you don't have to worry."
"You..." The old man's face turned dark with anger.
At this time, Yu Xiu Niang came to the door with wedding clothes, so the old man gave up and returned to the room.
"Sir, madam, look at what's wrong with the wedding dress, so I can change it as soon as possible." Yu Xiu Niang took out the wedding dress.
As soon as the wedding dress is opened, the luster seems to flash out, as if it can pierce people's eyes.
The flowers and birds embroidered on the door are vivid, and the embroidery thread also has a soft luster. At first glance, it is not ordinary embroidery thread.
At this time, ordinary people could not embroider phoenixes, so they mostly used lotus flowers, peonies, magpies and mandarin ducks.
Originally, Bai Banxia thought these were rustic, but when Yu Xiu Niang embroidered them, they were completely different, full of high-end taste.
"Ms. Yu Xiu, your embroidery is so good. Once you embroider this wedding dress, it feels priceless." Bai Banxia praised sincerely.
Yu Xiu Niang laughed at the praise, and there were a few fine lines at the end of her eyes.
"Madam, I'm so impressed. The main reason is that the material is good, and my embroidery skills are just the icing on the cake." She said with a smile.
Bai Banxia said: "The materials are good, but it also depends on who is doing it. Your craftsmanship is definitely the finishing touch."
"If her craftsmanship is not good, I won't let her come all the way to make your wedding dress." Qi Zhen looked at Bai Banxia with bright eyes, as if he was waiting for his wife to praise him.
The daughter-in-law praises others very enthusiastically, and he also deserves to be praised.
Bai Banxia felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, so she could only say: "Yes, yes, you are the best. You know people well and use them well, and you are thoughtful."
Qi Zhen smiled, showing his white teeth and looking particularly happy.
Yu Xiu Niang sighed and thought that if Mrs. Shuang were here, she would definitely be happy. The young master doesn't like to laugh, but if he can make him laugh so heartily, he must be a woman he likes very much.
Later, Yu Xiu Niang helped Bai Banxia go into the house and try on the wedding dress. After putting it on, Bai Banxia felt that she was completely different, and her temperament instantly became noble.
She walked out of the house generously and asked everyone: "What do you think?"
Qi Zhen's eyes widened and he forgot to speak.
Zhang Lingzhi exclaimed: "My dear, you are so beautiful, just like the empress in the palace!"
"Mother, you sound like you have seen the empress in the palace." Bai Banxia joked.
Zhang Lingzhi smiled and said, "I've never seen him before, but maybe he's not as good-looking as you."
Bai Tian also said: "My daughter looks good no matter what she wears. The wedding dress is well arranged, and Xiao Qi is quite stable in her work."
This was the father-in-law's affirmation of his son-in-law, and Qi Zhen raised the corners of his mouth.
The old lady also looked at it straight-eyed, "I have never seen such a beautiful wedding dress in my life. It's an eye-opener."
"Old Madam, thank you." Yu Xiuniang said respectfully, but she sighed in her heart. If nothing happened to the late emperor, and the young master is a prince, he will be crowned king sooner or later, wouldn't the madam be the princess?
Bai Banxia looked at the peepshow for a long time, feeling a little regretful that she didn't have a full-length mirror, but she thought about it and let it go. A full-length mirror was too luxurious.
When she saw that it was almost done, she carefully changed out of her wedding clothes. Yu Xiu Niang said that her waist needed to be changed, so she took the clothes and left, saying that she would come in two days to try on the wedding clothes for the young master.
"What will you look like in your wedding dress? Wearing red, you won't look like the silly son of a landlord, right?" Bai Banxia pursed her lips and snickered.
"When I was trying to take the medicine, you took the medicine off my face." Qi Zhen said with a serious face.
Okay, okay, go ahead. With a dark face and red clothes, he really looks like the silly son of a landlord.
Two days later, the official still didn't come to the house to congratulate him, so Bai Shengming became a little anxious.
The people in the village were also whispering about something, that is, there was a relative in another country who came to congratulate him the day before yesterday, but there was no movement in Baoshan Village.
Everyone was talking a lot, guessing that Bai Shengming failed the exam or something went wrong.
The matter quickly reached Zhang An's ears, and Zhang An went to Bai's house to explain the situation.
"Xiao Qi, can you help me ask the county magistrate if the official document has not arrived?" Bai Shengming also couldn't sit still.
If something went wrong, he would not be able to explain it to his family or He Yunlan, and he would be even more sorry for Mr. Nan who was injured because of him.
"I'll go to the government and ask." Qi Zhen said.
"I'll go with you." Bai Banxia also got up and followed, and the two left Baoshan Village together.
As soon as the two left, the old man started talking at home, wondering how something like this could go wrong, and asked Bai Shengming if he could see clearly, they couldn't have the same name, right?
"If this is a mistake, we have already said it in the village, how can we hold our heads high in the future?" the old man muttered.
