But outside the courtyard, a figure glanced over and disappeared under the courtyard wall.
At this time, twilight was gradually rising, and the light around was a little dim, but it was snowing, the brightness of the snow, and Yang Ruoqing's unusual eyesight, she could still see clearly that the figure that hurried past just now was Brother Baozi.
Wang Liang, the younger son of his predecessor Li Zhengjia.
Since he was a child, he was as pretty as a girl and had a bun face, so everyone called him Bun.
Over and over again, this nickname became popular.
Why is Brother Baozi here?
Could it be that you also want to say goodbye to Xiaoyu for the last time?
After all, Brother Baozi liked Xiao Yu so much that he sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to her two years in a row.
Xiaoyu was waiting for Ning Su, and Baozi kept waiting for Xiaoyu silently. As time went by, everyone got older.
Later, Xiaoyu clearly rejected Baozi, and Yang Ruoqing would always remember the day when the Ning family came to propose marriage, which was the first month of this year.
It was raining that day, so she went into the village and met Baozi under the old maple tree.
It was raining and Baozi didn't have an umbrella. Yang Ruoqing could never forget Baozi's helpless, confused and depressed look at that time...
I feel really bad.
However, emotional matters depend on fate and feelings, and it must be interactive between the two parties.
Otherwise, the twisted melon is destined not to be sweet.
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing stepped up, turned around and walked out of the yard.
Under the wall of the side yard, she saw Baozi standing in a daze against the wall.
Still without an umbrella, he stood there with his head slightly lowered, letting the snowflakes fall on his hair and shoulders.
After a while, the eyebrows turned white, but the whole person still stood in the wind and snow, motionless.
Could it be that he was frozen?
Yang Ruoqing thought to herself and walked over quickly.
"Brother Baozi, what are you doing standing here?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Baozi suddenly raised his head and realized that there was a person standing in front of him.
"Qing'er, you, when did you come here?" He asked a little nervously, something panic flickering in his eyes.
Yang Ruoqing said: "When did I come here? It doesn't matter. I just want to ask you, are you standing here because of the light rain?"
Baozi's face suddenly turned red as he revealed what he was thinking, and he felt embarrassed.
"No, it's not..." he stammered in defense.
"I just happened to be passing by..."
"Come on, Brother Baozi." Yang Ruoqing interrupted Baozi, "I'll know what you're thinking at a glance, so don't hide it."
"If you want to see Xiaoyu and talk to her, go ahead."
"After tonight, she will get married tomorrow." Yang Ruoqing said.
Baozi looked confused and frowned.
Just when Yang Ruoqing thought he would be brave, he shook his head.
"Forget it, it's better not to see each other than not to meet each other. Even if we do meet, I don't know what to say!" He whispered.
"Besides, there are so many aunts and ladies in the yard helping. If I go here, people will see me, and I have to gossip. It's not good for Xiao Yu, and it's not good for me either." Baozi said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, that was true.
"How about I call Xiaoyu out and you two can chat in private?" she asked again.
Baozi shook his head again, "It would be even worse to make an appointment. If someone catches her, Xiaoyu will be talked about behind her back."
"I just want her to be pure and straight and marry into the Ning family!"
After hearing what Baozi said, Yang Ruoqing fell silent, opened her eyes wide, and looked at him blankly.
"Qing'er, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?" he asked.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head.
"Brother Baozi, your sincerity towards Xiaoyu really touches me."
"Xiaoyu rejected you. Not only did you not resent her, but you actually thought about her so carefully."
"To be honest, Xiaoyu is really lucky to meet you who are so selfless..."
"No!"
Baozi interrupted Yang Ruoqing, "I'm not selfless, I'm very selfish."
He said, "Actually, when the housekeeper of the Ning family came over for the first time and said those words that humiliated Uncle Chang Geng and Aunt Gui Hua, to be honest, on the one hand, I was angry for Xiao Yu,"
"Privately, I still feel a little lucky in my heart."
"I was thinking, if the Ning family really doesn't want Xiao Yu, will I have another chance?"
"But later, when I saw Xiaoyu in so much pain, I understood."
"There are some things that I can't give, and there are some people that I can't replace."
"Only with Ning Su can she be truly happy. Even if she suffers, she probably won't regret it."
"In this case, then I will help her and bless her. Sometimes, letting go is more important than staying with her!"
"Bah bang bang!"
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but touch her palms.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the bun in front of her in disbelief.
"Oh my God, Brother Baozi, I can't believe these words are coming out of your mouth."
"You are simply too talented, especially the last sentence. It is so insightful and profound. It is simply a different artistic conception!"
Baozi scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm just a rough and stupid person. I can't say anything that makes sense. I just express my feelings."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Brother Baozi, you are very kind, really kind."
"Kind people will definitely be rewarded with good things," she said.
"By the way, Brother Baozi, when will you get married?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Brother Baozi's parents also proposed to Brother Baozi before Xiaoyu got engaged to Ning Su.
After getting the clear rejection from the Chang Geng family, there were some conflicts between the old Wang family and the Chang Geng family.
Brother Baozi's mother was washing clothes in the pond and picking vegetables in the garden, and met Aunt Guihua. The two women didn't speak to each other for several months.
Brother Baozi's parents arranged a marriage for Brother Baozi. I heard it was from his mother's side of the family.
Later, I don’t know what happened, but the marriage was canceled again, so Brother Baozi is still single now.
Hearing this, Bao Zihan smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry. This matter of fate has to wait slowly."
"Well, yes, just like the watermelon, Yue Lao cut it in half with a knife, then threw one half here and the other half somewhere else." Yang Ruoqing said.
"Then when the time is right, the two halves of the watermelon will meet and merge together to become a real big watermelon!"
"hey-hey……"
Baozi was amused.
He scratched his head, "Maybe, I'm the one who's alone..."
Yang Ruoqing quickly shook her head, "No, no, no one will be left alone. Look, even my uncle is not left alone. How good is his life now with Aunt Cuilian and me!"
Hearing this, Baozi smiled again and nodded vigorously: "Well, I won't be alone."
He turned his head again and glanced towards Xiaoyu's house, something complicated flashed across his eyes.
