Bai family.
Because I bought a house, I was very happy.
"Mom, I also bought the house. I want to find a matchmaker as soon as possible to propose marriage to Mai Miao. Although she is the only one in the family, she has to go through all the necessary etiquette." Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai discussed the marriage of their third son, Tian Mai Miao.
"What you said makes sense." Old Mrs. Bai nodded.
"Who should I ask to come to the house to secure a match?" Old Mrs. Bai thought about it for the past two days, and she concluded that the person who loved the most in Shenshu Village was the village chief's wife.
"Why don't I ask your sister-in-law Zhao to go there." Old Mrs. Bai said, there is no one more suitable candidate than the village chief's wife.
His parents and in-laws are all still alive, he has children, a daughter and grandchildren, and he is a complete human being.
Let her keep the media and add color.
Mrs. Zhen did not agree with her mother-in-law this time. She felt that there was a more suitable candidate.
"Mom, I think there is someone more suitable than Sister-in-law Zhao, but I don't know if he is willing." Zhen said.
"Who?" Old Mrs. Bai asked.
"Housekeeper He." Mrs. Zhen pointed to the opposite side.
Mrs. Bai's face lit up with joy.
She didn't expect it.
They had probably guessed the identity of the person opposite. It would be great if Butler He agreed to protect Bai Sanzhuang and Tian Maimiao as matchmakers.
Old Mrs. Bai thinks realistically, and this is also a backer.
"I asked Dad Zhuang to go to Butler He's house. San Zhuang and Mai Miao rescued him back then, so it's not too much for him to be a matchmaker." Old Mrs. Bai said confidently.
Mrs. Zhen pursed her lips and smiled. Although it was not the Bai family's rule to repay a favor, they would not refuse it even with this kind of kindness.
"Mom, how can Prince Kang and the Prime Minister let Mai Miao go so easily? I think... there must be help from the other side."
Zhen has lived in Beijing since she was a child.
I know that for Hou Men, it would be easy to crush an ordinary person to death.
After this turmoil, the other party easily let Mai Miao go and didn't cause any trouble to the Bai family. The other party must have secretly helped.
"It doesn't matter who it is, as long as we are safe, it doesn't matter." Old Mrs. Bai said.
Mrs. Zhen nodded, but did not tell Mrs. Bai that she met the maid next to her aunt at the gate of Zhenxiang Tower during the day.
No, the old maid has become the right-hand nanny.
She was stuffed a note at the gate of the county government office while You Mazi's wife was causing trouble.
The note said that the news that she was still alive would not appear in Beijing.
She knew that the current maid Zhang, the maid back then, had found someone to give her the news.
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing, Xie Chuntao lifted the curtain, walked in and said, "Mistress, mother, the meal is ready."
Bai Zhaomei and her nephews set the table and got the dishes and chopsticks.
"Where's Xiao Yuanbao?" Old Mrs. Bai asked.
The loss of little Fuyuan still left a shadow on the family. Once it disappeared from the family's sight, everyone hurriedly looked for it.
"It's at A Zhen's place opposite," said Zhen.
"Creak", the door on the opposite side opened.
Xiao Fuyuan and A Zhen walked out hand in hand.
Xiao Fuyuan held a fan in her hand and stood at the door to fan Liuying.
"Xiao Yuanbao, it's time for dinner." Zhen called out, "Azhen, let's eat together too."
"Auntie, my sister and I had dinner together." A Zhen said.
"Mom, Brother Azhen and I are playing with fireflies." Xiao Fuyuan shook the fan and bag in her hands, and the fireflies flew around her one by one.
"Okay, don't go too far. Put the fireflies you catch in a cloth bag, and Huitou Niang will make you a firefly lantern." Madam Zhen warned.
"Okay."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Fuyuan pulled A Zhen and raised her fan towards the fireflies.
"Brother A Zhen, help me catch that one, that one is the brightest."
"I think that one is brighter."
"Forget it, I'll catch both of them for you."
"Kekeke..."
The cheerful laughter of Xiao Fuyuan and A Zhen echoed on the path at the door.
Da da da da, under the moonlight, a carriage drove slowly from the entrance of the village and stopped in front of Bai's house.
A man opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
"Second brother." Under the moonlight, Xiao Fuyuan saw that the person jumping out of the carriage was his second brother.
He ran over in surprise.
The second brother went from Yangfeng to the next county, saying that he was helping Qiuniang find her family.
That Qiuniang turned out to be the cold brother in the secret passage.
He is actually an old friend of his second brother.
"Sister." The second brother touched Xiao Fuyuan's head.
"Second brother is back, second brother is back."
Xiao Fuyuan shouted into the yard.
The family who were eating put down their bowls and chopsticks and came out, especially Eugene Gui, who was the first to step out.
"Er Zhuang, you are back..."
The joy on Eugene Gui's face faded completely.
Under the moonlight, Bai Erzhuang helped a man down from the carriage.
This person wears a curtain hat on his head, his face is covered by a hanging veil, and his graceful figure shows that he is a girl.
Is this Qiuniang?
Eugene Gui is short of breath!
There was already Xia Qinghe who caused a thorn in her heart, and now there was Qiu Niang who pierced her eyes.
Qiuniang followed Bai Erzhuang and walked towards everyone in the Bai family. The night wind blew the thin veil hanging down, and a fair and delicate face appeared and disappeared in the moonlight.
Eugene Gui's face turned pale.
"Er Zhuang, who is this person, and you just took him home?" Eugene Gui's mind got hot, and he shouted regardless.
Bai Erzhuang glanced at her and said, "Shut up!"
Eugene Guiqi's tears were about to fall.
"Mistress, mother, father." Bai Erzhuang went straight to the front of the Bai family elders, "This is Qiu Niang."
Qiuniang was blessed with a delicate and delicate look.
Mrs. Bai had a cold look on her face, and Mrs. Zhen said softly: "Let's talk about it when we get home."
Eugene Gui gasped, "Okay, he just brought everyone in."
Qiu Niang, Xia Niang, she would never be able to get in while Eugene Gui was here.
"Second sister-in-law, you may be thinking too much."
Xiao Fuyuan couldn't help but remind her second sister-in-law when she saw her angry and nervous look.
When everyone came to the upper room, they didn't eat anymore. Old Mrs. Bai sat at the upper room with a cold look on her face.
Eugene Gui wanted to say something, but Mrs. Bai gave her a sideways look.
The next second, Qiuniang plopped down on her knees in front of the old lady Bai and lifted the curtain on her head.
A delicate face was exposed under the kerosene lamp, illuminating the whole room with brilliant light.
He was completely different from the numb boy who was in the secret passage that day, with patches of yellow and black on his face.
Xie Chuntao couldn't help but glance at it several times. Such a face in Lao Bai's house, the second brother was really awesome.
"Nai, what did you misunderstand? Qiuniang, she is, she is..." Bai Erzhuang said.
"Let her speak for herself." Mrs. Bai stared at Qiuniang with sharp eyes.
Qiuniang knelt on the ground and spoke slowly, with a sad voice: "...I don't remember where I came from since I was a child. It seems like Yangfeng or Ying County next door. I was sold to that shameful place since I was a child."
With just this sentence, Zhen's eyes softened when she looked at Qiuniang.
"In the first year of Jingyuan, I met An Huairen and Brother Bai who were studying in Huaicheng. At that time, I was being beaten by my mother in the street. They rescued me... Later, An Huairen often came to Huaicheng... "
