Xu took Cuicui to stay at Bai's house until evening, then left and took her back to Yangfeng's original Liu residence.
Liu Hong's old mother was still in Yangfeng and did not move to Huaicheng as soon as her son was promoted. This time, Mrs. Xu took her mother-in-law to Huaicheng by the way.
Cuicui was quite reluctant to leave before getting on the carriage, holding Xiao Fuyuan's hand and saying she would come next time.
All this was seen by Mrs. Xu, and she was happy in her heart.
She just said that no one can escape Xiao Fuyuan's charm. Even if her niece resists the Bai family at first, she will change when she meets Xiao Fuyuan.
No, Cuicui is.
Liu Shu, on the other hand, was able to stay in Lao Bai's house because of his reckless behavior.
Mrs. Xu was happy to see the success and quietly told Liu Shu to praise his cousin more in front of Xiao Fuyuan. Liu Shu felt extremely guilty. He did not dare to tell his mother that he had revealed to his mother that his cousin had a hot temper and was not suitable to be the fourth sister-in-law of the Bai family. The little lucky circle.
On the carriage back to Yangfeng County, Cuicui's face was smiling, completely different from when she came here, so Mrs. Xu asked Cuicui what she thought of Lao Bai's family.
"...The Bai family is very nice. The dishes cooked by the elder sister-in-law are delicious. Grandma Bai talks interestingly. The aunt and uncle of the Bai family are sensible and better than I thought. By the way, the third sister-in-law of the Bai family wrote to me. Here is a note, saying that I will go to the Bai family’s shop in Huaicheng to give me the best materials at the most reasonable price. Of course, the most lovable one is Xiao Yuanbao, who is beautiful and cute. I also want to have a sister like this."
Cuicui was lively and chattered.
Mrs. Xu listened with a smile, then changed the subject and said, "And most importantly, what do you think of the fourth son of the Bai family?"
Cuicui's face drooped.
"Auntie, to tell you the truth, I don't think it's good."
Mrs. Xu looked at Cuicui as if she were a fool, and couldn't help but said: "Cui Cui, what you said is wrong. The fourth son of the Bai family is the most promising son of the Bai family. He ranks first among scholars. His knowledge is even the highest in Huaishui Academy. The great scholars all praised him, and he will be the youngest number one scholar in the future. He is good-looking in life, and a person with this kind of appearance must be from a peasant family to take our turn. If you are not sure now, wait until he enters the Jinluan Palace and takes the number one scholar, then he is not worthy of the princess. Princess, the rich and powerful people in the capital must also capture him."
Cuicui's head hurt when she heard it, and she said, "So what if he becomes the number one scholar? I don't like scholars at all."
Everything is inferior, only reading is superior.
This was the first time that Xu heard someone say that they didn't like the scholar's remarks.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your uncle and your father are not scholars. You can become an official only after studying. Who do you want to marry? A trafficker and a pawn?" asked Mrs. Xu.
"Even if you marry a peddler, you won't marry a scholar. Besides, why are peddlers inferior to scholars? Nothing we eat or drink is provided by peddlers." Cuicui retorted, "Auntie, I read my storybook every day. , It is said that most of the people who are heartless are scholars, and those who are righteous often slaughter dogs."
Mrs. Xu's head hurt when she heard this. When she got back, she had to explain to Liu Hong what kind of books this niece had read.
"Nonsense! It all depends on the person! Is your father betrayed? Your uncle doesn't even have anyone in the room." Mrs. Xu said.
"Then how do I know that my life is as good as my aunt's? The scholars I meet happen to be people like my uncle." Cuicui said plausibly.
Xu was stunned by the question and didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Xu only felt that Cuicui's thinking was too simple and she was still a child at heart.
"Cui Cui, I know what you are thinking about going the opposite direction. Marriage is not a child's play. Will your uncle harm you? When you marry, you must pay attention to the other person's family background and character. Just like the Bai family's family tradition, just raise Don't betray your heart. Also, you have always been lively and unfettered. The daughter-in-law of the Bai family does not need to set rules. From the mother-in-law to the mother-in-law, everyone loves her daughter-in-law. It is difficult to find such a family even with a lantern." Mrs. Xu. Zandao, at this moment she only regretted that she didn't have a daughter. If she had a daughter, where would it be Cuicui's turn.
"This is one, and the other is that I am not afraid to tell you that when a woman marries her husband's family, she must continue the family line. There are so many sons in the Bai family, and you don't have the pressure to have a son. When you see Xiao Yuanbao's status in the Bai family, Even if you give birth to a daughter, the Lao Bai family will love you like a baby. Look at me, although your uncle is a good person, your uncle is the only one in the Liu family. If I can't give birth to your cousin, your grandma will die soon. They asked me to leave the court." Mrs. Xu confided in Cuicui.
Cuicui thought for a while and said, "Auntie is right, Lao Bai's family is indeed the best family."
Mrs. Xu was pleased and blurted out: "You finally figured it out. When you arrived in Huaicheng, you lived in my house. Your uncle called the fourth son of the Bai family to come to the house from time to time to discuss knowledge. This is how our relationship was cultivated."
Xu thought to herself that the Bai family neither agreed nor refused, and it was the fourth child of the Bai family who decided this matter.
As long as the fourth child likes Cuicui, nothing will happen.
"Auntie, I don't like the fourth son of the Bai family. Even if he is the number one scholar and has a lot of money, I won't marry him. The person I want to marry must be someone I like. Even if he is a trafficker, I will marry him," Cuicui said.
Xu was so angry that she kept talking for a long time about how her niece could be as stubborn as her father.
"If you don't like the fourth son of the Bai family, then who else can you like?" Mrs. Xu raised her voice angrily. She decided to tell Liu Hong that she would let go when she went back. She would not care about this matter. It was a thankless task.
Cuicui's face was slightly red and her voice was as quiet as a mosquito, and she said, "I think the fifth child of the Bai family is a very good person."
Xu gasped, completely stunned.
The fifth child of the Bai family?
That reckless boy who is dark, likes to play with guns and sticks, and is so strong that he can kill a tiger?
"Cui Cui, do you know what you are talking about?" Mrs. Xu almost fainted.
What can the fifth child of the Bai family do in the future?
He can neither open a shop like the third son of the Bai family nor study like the fourth son of the Bai family.
If the eldest aunt finds out about this, she will definitely scold her as a bad aunt.
She regretted taking Cuicui to Lao Bai's house at this time. Who would have thought that she didn't fall in love with the talented fourth son, but instead fell in love with the fifth brother who played with guns and sticks.
"Auntie, I know what I'm talking about. I think Lao Wu is very good." Cuicui insisted.
Cuicui's face was stained with crimson, and her eyes were frighteningly bright.
It was just like Xu's own face in the mirror when she first saw the young and vigorous Liu Hong.
No need to ask, this is a sign that the girl is pregnant, Cuicui really likes the fifth child of the Bai family.
"The fifth child of the Bai family can't do it. You should stop thinking about it as soon as possible. Your uncle will not agree, and neither will your parents." Xu said bluntly.
"Why not? But just now, didn't my aunt praise the old Bai family for their good family tradition and the adopted sons? They are all sons of the Bai family. The fourth child can do it, but why can't the fifth child." Cuicui said boldly.
Xu was completely speechless and her head was buzzing. She regretted accepting Cuicui's marriage. This was simply shooting herself in the foot.
She couldn't explain to her man and eldest sister when she got back.
