The cinnamon seeds are fragrant and the reed flowers are white.
After a few autumn rains, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.
Huaishui Academy was on holiday, and Erlang hadn't gone back for several months since he arrived in Huaicheng. It was his first time away from home, and the closer he got to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the more he missed home, his mother, and his aunt.
Therefore, the uncle Bai Panmei decided to take her nephew Erlang home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Liu Shu, who was studying at Zhou's house with Erlang, learned that Erlang was going back to Shenshu Village. After school, he made trouble with Xu and agreed that he would follow Erlang to Bai's house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"...You are missing Xiao Yuanbao, right?" Mrs. Xu understood her son's thoughts very well.
"Yes." Liu Shu answered simply.
Mrs. Xu thought for a while, and Liu Hong planned to marry his niece Cuicui to Bai Panmei. He originally planned to send a letter to the Bai family to find out, but writing a letter was not as good as talking in person.
After Liu Hong became the prefect, he was too busy to get away. He couldn't go to Shenshu Village because of this matter. The only person in Huaicheng who could make decisions was Bai Panmei's third brother Bai Sanzhuang, but it was hard for an older brother to interfere with his younger brother. In the end, Bai Banban and Zhen will have the final say on this matter.
After much thought, Xu decided to visit the Bai family in person.
Mrs. Jinghou Mansion can spend a few days at Lao Bai's house, why can't she go?
"Okay, I'll go with you." Xu said.
"Mom, what are you going to do?" Liu Shu was not happy when he heard that he could go to Shenshu Village. When he heard that his mother was also going, he was worried that she would go to Lao Bai's house and become a monster.
"You don't need to worry about it anymore. You take the boy to the street and buy some food for Xiao Yuanbao." Xu ordered the maid to give Liu Shu a piece of silver and waved him away.
In the evening, Mrs. Xu discussed with Liu Hong about going to Shenshu Village. Liu Hong agreed wholeheartedly, feeling very emotional that Mrs. Xu was concerned about her niece's marriage and was willing to go there in person.
"I'm not doing this just to help you in the officialdom in the future, sir. You just wait and see. The fourth child of the Bai family is either a fish in the pool, or I don't know if Cuicui is lucky enough to be favored by the fourth child of the Bai family." Mrs. Xu sighed.
"Cui Cui is not very good. She has a bright appearance and a grand personality. She is very similar to the third daughter-in-law of the Bai family. Judging from the cheerfulness of the old lady of the Bai family, I think Cuicui is suitable to be the wife of the Bai family." Of course Liu Hong felt that his niece No matter where you go, you can praise it like a flower.
"Let's do it this way. I'll have someone pick her up from my sister's house tomorrow. You can take her to Lao Bai's house with you, and you can also cultivate a relationship with the old lady of the Bai family in advance. As long as the old lady of the Bai family likes it, this will be fine. ." Liu said.
Xu: "..."
What the hell is this? How can a girl rush to her husband’s house to be picked?
"Master, do you think the Bai family won't give me face like last time?" Mrs. Xu was a little worried. Last time, she was attacked by Mrs. Zhongjing Houfu in front of her because she wanted to take advantage of Xiao Fuyuan. She didn't want to do that. Experience it once.
"No. The sons of Lao Bai's family are so worthless. Can Xiao Yuan Bao be the same as his son? Xiao Yuan Bao is the treasure of the entire Yangfeng County. Naturally, the marriage must be carefully selected. Is our Shu'er worthy?" Liu Hong said.
Xu: "..."
…
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lao Bai's house became lively.
The fourth son of the Bai family and Erlang came back from Huaicheng for a reunion. To the surprise of the Bai family, Mrs. Xu also came with her son.
Lao Bai's family secretly thought that their relationship with the prefect's family was not that strong.
Mrs. Xu was newly promoted to the magistrate's wife, but she put away her domineering side when she was the wife of the county magistrate. As soon as she got off the carriage, she greeted Old Mrs. Bai with a smile, held Mrs. Zhen's hand, and praised Xiao Fuyuan.
Quite an approachable demeanor.
What was even more unexpected to the Bai family was that Xu was not only followed by Liu Shu, but also by a pretty teenage girl.
"...I haven't been to your house for a long time. My old lady liked the embroidery that your embroidery workshop produced last time. She wants you to embroider some Buddha statues this time." Mrs. Xu said while sitting in the upper room of the Bai family.
Seeing the Bai family frequently looking at the girl behind them, Mrs. Xu pulled Cuicui forward and introduced her to the Bai family: "This is my master's niece, named Cuicui. Because she is always interested in country life, so I Just bring her here.”
Cuicui was surrounded by Lao Bai's family. A touch of red cloud flew over her face. She raised her head and said hello to everyone reluctantly.
Mrs. Zhen was thoughtful and understood after a moment's thought. She glanced at her fourth son who was standing aside. There was nothing unusual on his face.
"Where's the little Yuanbao?" asked Mrs. Xu.
The moment he caught sight of his worthless son wandering around Little Fuyuan with a silly smile on his face, he almost drooled.
When Xiao Fuyuan heard Mrs. Xu calling her, she ran over to say hello.
"Xiao Yuanbao, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have grown taller and become more and more handsome." Mrs. Xu said with a smile.
When adults see children, they always start by saying they have grown taller. The adults here are no different from the adults in the previous life.
"Look what good things I brought you."
Mrs. Xu took something out from the package. She asked her parents to bring it from Sichuan. Among them was a beautiful face-changing mask. Xiao Fuyuan liked it at first sight.
"Thank you, auntie, I like it very much." Xiao Fuyuan touched the mask and couldn't put it down.
"Are you Xiao Yuanbao?" Cuicui, who was standing next to Mrs. Xu, suddenly said.
Mrs. Xu frowned slightly. This niece had always had a bad look on her face since she got on the carriage to Lao Bai's house. She didn't smile when she came to Lao Bai's house. Now she spoke very rudely.
"Why are you so beautiful? You look like the little fairy walking down the painting. Why are your eyelashes so long and your eyes so bright? Also, how come your skin is so white, as white as snow." Cuicui sighed. Said, the voice was crisp and loud.
Xiao Fuyuan: "Uh..."
This beautiful sister turns out to be not as difficult to deal with as she appeared at the beginning. She is a straightforward and outspoken girl without any scheming.
"I like this sister, can I call you sister?" Cuicui looked at Xiao Fuyuan with burning eyes. Why is she so cute? She really wants to pinch her pink face.
"Cui Cui." Mrs. Xu said in anger.
Cuicui shut her mouth and stood aside aggrievedly.
Mrs. Zhen smiled and said to Xiao Fuyuan, "Take Sister Cuicui for a walk in the yard."
Cuicui immediately took Xiao Fuyuan's hand and strode out the door in an unladylike manner.
Xu's eyes darkened. She was brought to Lao Bai's house to talk about marriage. Although Lao Bai's family didn't pay attention to rules, they couldn't be so careless as to be rude.
"Sister, don't mind, Cuicui likes Xiao Yuanbao too much." Mrs. Xu explained for Cuicui.
"It doesn't matter, girls can't be restrained. I think Cuicui is very good." Zhen said with a smile.
Xu's heart dropped slightly to her stomach.
She was still worried. Originally Cuicui was very happy when she heard that she was coming to the country, but when the marriage was mentioned to her, her face turned ugly. Mrs. Xu thought it would be nice to see Bai Panmei, so she intentionally came to Bai's house with Bai Panmei. Unexpectedly, she didn't even look at Bai Panmei during the whole journey.
Seeing Cuicui pulling Xiao Fuyuan to play with her, and Xiao Fuyuan not resisting, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but change from worry to happiness.
Who can resist the cuteness of little Fuyuan.
As long as Cuicui and Xiao Fuyuan fall in love, the idea of marrying with Lao Bai's family will come true.
