After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Banban went to Huaicheng to meet Liu Hong.
The Bai family expressed their willingness to get married, so under Liu Hong's arrangement, the Bai family met with Liu Hong's brother-in-law, the Ning family.
The Bai family solemnly invited the official media, and the two parties decided on the marriage between Cuicui and Bai Zhaomei, and made an appointment with Baizhaomei and the crown queen to marry Cuicui through Liuli.
Bai Zhaomei was in a state of surprise and confusion. Until she settled on a wife, she still thought it was just a dream.
Originally, Liu Hong's brother-in-law Ning Kuang was very dissatisfied when he heard that Bai Zhaomei was not a scholar and objected on the spot.
The reason is that he and the non-scholar have no common language, and the father-in-law and the father-in-law cannot talk together, so how can they communicate in the future.
"You can pull it off. If you dislike me, just tell me? I don't know a few big words, and I don't see either of us becoming deaf and mute. If I don't give you children as usual, I will destroy the family. Everything is well organized. You are literate, but you haven't even been promoted to a county magistrate in so many years, let alone a prefect like my brother? If it weren't for an illiterate person like me, our family would be so poor that we wouldn't even be able to eat. Get up." Mrs. Liu was merciless in attacking her own man.
Ning Kuang was originally henpecked, and with Liu's brother Liu Hong as his great backer, he did not dare to contradict Liu in anything.
"Don't show off for me when it comes to Lao Bai's family. Put down your noble face for me. My brother is right. We marry our daughter for benefits. Lao Bai's family is living a prosperous life. My parents-in-law are sensible and dote on their daughter. As for doting on your daughter, none of your colleagues conform to this rule. Believe me, people who dote on their daughters will not abuse their daughters-in-law."
Ms. Liu didn't believe how good the Bai family was at first, but after meeting and getting to know each other more deeply, she realized that the marriage was even better than expected.
She has never seen a family that dotes on their daughter so much. Not to mention the cuteness of the Bai family's youngest daughter Yuxue, even she can't help but like her.
Let's just say that the Lao Bai family loves their daughters very much. If Cuicui enters the family in the future, even if she can't give birth to a son, she will still have a stable status if she gives birth to a daughter.
This is much better than marrying into a wealthy family and having to resign oneself without having a son.
"It's not that I don't agree with marrying the Bai family, it's just that the fifth child...it would be better if he were the fourth child." Ning Kuang muttered.
If the fourth son of the Bai family, regardless of whether he will be an official or a butler in the future, it is Weng and son-in-law who talk about poetry and painting together. Think about how harmonious the picture will be.
The fifth eldest son of the Bai family, he would never be able to communicate with others by dancing with swords and sticks. It's too indecent!
Mrs. Liu understood Ning Kuang's thoughts, raised her eyes and said, "You can't ruin your daughter's marriage for your own selfishness. The fourth son of the Bai family is good, but Qi Dafei, if he becomes the number one scholar in the future or enters the Jinluan Palace, he will get The Tian family is favored. When his wife is under great pressure, her head is always tied to the waistband of her pants. It is safer for Lao Wu. Even if he does not go to the army to make meritorious service, he can just farm in Shenshu Village like the Bai family boss, and he will not live a good life. Difference."
Mrs. Liu likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him.
She fell in love with the fifth son of the Bai family at the first sight. He was handsome and had a small body as strong as a tree, unlike those weaklings waiting to study.
After he ate five big steamed buns during the dinner, Mrs. Liu liked it even more. It's good to be able to eat them. It's a blessing to be able to eat them.
In short, Mrs. Liu was completely satisfied with the marriage that Liu Hong had assigned to Cuicui.
The engagement between Bai Zhaomei and the prefect's niece set off a craze in Shenshu Village.
People in Shenshu Village are very familiar with Liu Hong. His former parent official has been to Shenshu Village many times.
When he was promoted to prefect, the people of Shenshu Village, led by Village Chief Zhao, wanted to organize a gift of umbrellas to the people, but Liu Hong's subordinates stopped them.
I never expected that this kid Bai Zhaomei would fall into the favor of the prefect.
The Lao Bai family is so lucky. Their daughter was granted the title of village head by the emperor, and their youngest son was favored by the prefect and betrothed to his niece. From now on, this family's family status will be different from that of Shenshu Village.
The people of Shenshu Village started a big discussion.
"That boy, the fourth boy of the Bai family, can do it. Even though he usually dances with guns and sticks, he was actually taken by the prefect."
"Don't you know this? The fifth son of the Bai family has nothing now. The reason why the prefect fell in love with him and promised to marry his niece is not because he fell in love with Xiao Yuanbao. You don't know that Mr. Liu wanted to marry his young master before. Xiao Yuanbao was rejected by the Bai family. This is because he has to take a step back and get married even if his request for marriage is not successful. It is not because he wants to benefit from Xiao Yuanbao's blessing and get promoted in the official position."
"Then if you say so, the prefect should pay more attention to the fourth son of the Bai family. The fourth son is the number one scholar, and he is in Huaishui Academy. People outside say that he has the potential to be the number one scholar."
"Just because the fourth child has the potential to be the number one scholar, he can't agree to the marriage easily. Didn't you read in the play that the number one scholar is the Princess Shang?"
"Oh, isn't the fourth son of the Bai family a son-in-law? Good guy, this family is great, one is the village owner, one is the son-in-law, and the other is protected by the prefect."
"The fifth child of the Bai family is lucky. The fourth child is good at studying. Xiao Yuanbao is smart and blessed. The fifth child is a young boy who has never made any achievements, so he was chosen by Mr. Liu. That day I saw Mr. Liu's My niece has big eyes and is very beautiful."
"Old Wang is not bad either. At a young age, General Meng valued him and kept him by his side. Sooner or later, he will make great achievements."
…
Everyone gathered not far from Bai's house, envious and envious of Bai Zhaomei's luck.
In the end, it boiled down to the fact that the Bai family had a daughter, and the Bai family son was also lucky.
Bai Zhaomei, who had achieved great luck, was standing in front of Meng Zhixu.
"...Have you thought about going to the border with me? Is your family willing?" Meng Zhixu asked.
"General, I've thought about it. Even if my family doesn't agree, they can't stop me." Bai Zhaomei said.
"I asked you before, but you were still hesitant and said you would go when you were older. Why are you willing now?" Meng Zhixu asked with a smile.
"Because before... before..." Bai Zhaomei's face turned red and she couldn't explain the reason.
Meng Zhixu laughed a few times and said, "Is it because of the little lady you haven't married yet?"
Bai Zhaomei's face turned red like a ripe persimmon.
"The main thing is to make a contribution and support my sister."
This is Bai Zhaomei's belief all along.
He paused and looked at Meng Zhixu and continued: "Of course it's also for Cuicui."
Old Mrs. Bai told him that he was right. Firstly, he didn't study for fame like the fourth brother. Secondly, he didn't know how to do business like the third brother, and unlike the eldest brother who was willing to farm at home, he could only go to other places to develop.
He had a lot of strength and learned kung fu from Xie Xiaolian. The only suitable place for him was the military camp.
Not only does he want to join the army, he also wants to go to the border and make achievements.
Especially after seeing Cuicui again, this idea became stronger.
Cuicui thinks so highly of him, he can't let Cuicui down.
When you achieve success, you should marry Cuicui into the house in a glamorous manner.
"Good boy, I have a pursuit. I will go to the border next year, and I will take you with me then," Meng Zhixu said.
"Okay, I will definitely do well in the army." Bai Zhaomei said excitedly when she heard Meng Zhexu personally agreed.
