"It's out of date, why did your sister bring Xuan'er to our house?"
Early in the morning, Xiao Fuyuan came to Mrs. Bai's house and heard Mrs. Bai talking to Mrs. Zhen.
"I can't hide anything from mother." Mrs. Zhen smiled and said directly, "She wants to marry our family and let Xuan'er marry Panmei."
Xiao Fuyuan thought to herself that no wonder Chen Xuan'er took the initiative to ask her about her fourth brother yesterday. She really wanted to be her fourth sister-in-law.
However, Aunt Chen and Chen Xuan'er's mother-daughter plan may have failed, and it would be impossible for her to become the fourth sister-in-law.
"No matter how many sons we have in our Lao Bai family, it's not up to the Chen family to choose." Old Mrs. Bai became furious when she heard Aunt Chen's plan to come to the house. "Previously, Chen Xuan'er was engaged to our third child and then regretted it. Now she wants to When you marry our family, you don’t care about the fourth child, but because of the fourth child’s status as a scholar.”
Mrs. Zhen echoed: "Who says it's not the case, so when she mentioned this, I rejected it directly."
Old Mrs. Bai nodded. Mrs. Zhen was not soft-hearted this time.
"You, my sister, are the best at cutting flesh with a soft knife. If you refuse this time, she will have to mention it next time. You can't agree just because you are soft-hearted. If Chen Xuan'er is a good person, there is another story, but I am watching coldly. She was raised to be lazy and greedy. Our family already has a second daughter-in-law, and we don’t dare to have another one." Old Mrs. Bai said.
"Don't worry, mother, it's easy to talk about other things. I won't let go of the fourth child's marriage until I die," said Zhen.
"Since your sister is not going home with her daughter and wants to stay at our house, let her go. Anyway, our family has no shortage of food. It just so happens that I want to see what she wants to do." Old Mrs. Bai said.
Xiao Fuyuan thought for a while and said to Mrs. Bai: "Grandma, yesterday my cousin asked the second sister-in-law about Sister Qiu. Is it possible that she knows the news about Sister Qiu's family?"
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen looked at each other. It was the first time for Chen Xuan'er to see Qiuniang. How could she possibly know the news about her family? She was afraid that she would treat any girl as a potential enemy out of jealousy.
"Remind the second daughter-in-law, don't show your face to everyone." Old Mrs. Bai said.
Mrs. Zhen nodded and agreed.
Aunt Chen went to the embroidery workshop early in the morning.
He slowly sat down next to the embroiderers and inquired. The embroiderers thought she was Zhen's sister, so they told her about the situation of the embroidery workshop without any concealment.
Aunt Chen was secretly surprised, and she became more and more certain that her sister had said that she did not recognize the Queen Mother's aunt, and had already accepted her aunt's help in private. Otherwise, how could she take over the embroidery work of the prefect and the Zhou family of Huaicheng with the foundation of the Bai family?
I'm afraid that guy Bai Sanzhuang alone is not qualified.
Especially when she heard that the wives of the Zhongjing Hou Mansion had visited the Bai family, she became more and more convinced that her guess was correct.
My sister said it nicely. It seems that the water in Beijing is deep and I would rather live an ordinary life in the countryside. It seems that it is all fake. It is true that I want to make a fortune hiding in the mountains.
Unfortunately, her family's grocery store business is deteriorating day by day.
Seeing that Qiuniang was finally free, she took some time to chat with Qiuniang.
Qiuniang is naturally observant of people's words. As early as yesterday at the dinner table, she discovered that Aunt Chen and her daughter were stingy and not popular in the Bai family. But since she was the aunt of the Bai family after all, she had the patience to say a few perfunctory words.
Aunt Chen slowly repeated Qiu Niang's words. Every time she mentioned Qiu Niang's future plans, Qiu Niang would go around calmly. Aunt Chen didn't think Qiu Niang did it intentionally, she just thought Qiu Niang was shy.
"Miss Qiu is so capable. Whoever is so lucky to marry you in the future will be in a state of disgrace." Aunt Chen pointed out the topic directly.
Qiuniang was confused, why did she come to tell her that she was coming to marry her again?
"Auntie, thank you. I am a widowed person and have to be taken care of by my aunt's family. I just want to serve my aunt well and don't want to get married anymore." Qiuniang said.
It wasn't that she was perfunctory with Aunt Chen, but that was what she thought in her heart. Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen asked her if she wanted to get married, help her find a good family. She told them that she would never marry in her life.
"You look good and have a good temper. It's a pity to be alone." Aunt Chen shook her head and sighed.
If this slender waisted and fair-skinned woman enters her daughter's house, she will definitely be able to compete with her son-in-law's wife.
Qiuniang smiled lightly and did not answer, and continued to work on her embroidery.
"Sister Qiu, let me bring you food."
"Aunt Qiu, my mother said you were too tired and asked you to eat two more bowls of rice."
"Aunt Qiu, I learned how to make bone broth from my master, and I brought it to you."
Xiao Fukuoka was followed by Dairo Saburo, each carrying a food box in his hand.
When Qiuniang saw Xiao Fuyuan and her two nephews, the depression she felt from Aunt Chen was gone.
Xiao Fuyuan and Dalang Sanlang put down the food boxes, told Qiuniang to eat well, and left.
Aunt Chen also left the embroidery workshop.
"Xiao Yuanbao, why did the emperor make you the head of the village?" Aunt Chen asked pretending to be unintentional.
"Oh, grandma, you don't know, of course my little aunt is smart. You know there is a severe drought this year. The seeds of Yan and millet we planted were found by my little aunt on the mountain, because the emperor gave her the title of village head." Lang said with admiration.
Aunt Chen naturally didn't believe it, so she determined that the Queen Mother's aunt was involved. She had heard a little bit about Yan Miao Seed Xiao Fu Yuan being lucky, and she thought it was just a smoke bomb deliberately released by the Bai family.
"How could the emperor know this when he is so far away from the capital?" Aunt Chen continued to ask, "Has anyone from the capital ever been to your home?"
Someone from the capital?
"Auntie, yes. The wife and young lady from the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion came to my house, but that was..." Sanlang rolled his eyes and knew that he couldn't say that Feng Zhiheng had been abducted, so he put it another way, "My little aunt was visiting the temple fair, and she met When I arrived at the Miss Zhongjing Houfu, she happened to be bumped into by my little aunt when she came to my ancestral home outside Huai City, and then she followed my aunt to our house."
Aunt Chen was disdainful. Yes, it was such a coincidence. The Zhongjing Hou Mansion must have been arranged by the Queen Mother's aunt.
The aunt was biased and made her sister's daughter the head of the village, but forgot about her daughter.
"Does Xiao Yuanbao want to go to Beijing?" Aunt Chen suddenly asked.
Xiao Fuyuan shook her head and asked, "Auntie, do you want to take Sister Xuan'er to the capital?"
She actually thought that the key was that there was no way out.
It would be great if he could get in touch with the Zhongjing Hou Mansion.
"I wonder, does Xiao Yuanbao know that your mother and I grew up in the capital? Your mother must also want to go to the capital, but she just can't bear to leave the whole family." Aunt Chen said this with selfish motives, and everyone said that Lao Bai The family loves little Fuyuan the most. If she is encouraged to go to the capital, maybe the Bai family will agree.
"Xiao Yuanbao, you have been named the head of the village. You should go to the capital to express your gratitude." Aunt Chen continued.
Xiao Fuyuan continued to shake his head: "If my mother doesn't go, I won't go either. I live a good life in Shenshu Village."
After talking and arriving at the door of the house, A Zhen stood at the door and saw Xiao Fuyuan smiling, followed by Liu Yishou carrying a food box.
"Sister, I brought you food." A Zhen said.
Aunt Chen couldn't help but be attracted to A Zhen because she heard the familiar Beijing accent.
