Cuicui and Xiao Fuyuan sleep in the same room at night.
Also sleeping with Xiao Fuyuan is Feng Zhiheng.
Eugene Gui, who was originally a temporary housekeeper, packed a new house for Feng Zhiheng in order to curry favor with the daughter of the Hou family. However, Feng Zhiheng was unwilling to live in it. Not only could he not live in it, but he also sent his maid and mother-in-law to stay in a hotel in the town.
Eugene Gui failed to flatter Feng Zhiheng and felt very depressed.
Since the first month of the first lunar month, the embroidery workshop was set on fire by the Hu family and the Xu family. In order to prevent the same thing from happening, Qiuniang slept in the embroidery workshop.
Therefore, she usually sleeps alone in Xiao Fuyuan's room.
Now there are three sisters sleeping, and Xiao Fuyuan feels lively and warm.
Before going to bed, the three of them lay together and whispered.
"...My fifth brother killed the enemy and made a meritorious service." Xiao Fuyuan mentioned his fifth brother in the border military camp with a proud look on his face.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, my brother came home to write a letter. Following the last time he discovered the enemy who had sneaked in and performed a meritorious service, this time he went to the battlefield and heroically shot and killed a small leader.
Even if he is a minor boss or not, he can still be considered a meritorious service.
"Fifth brother is so awesome." Feng Zhiheng looked at Cuicui and said with a smile, "Sister Cuicui, do you think so?"
Cuicui blushed with embarrassment, thinking of the letter home written by Bai Zhaomei to her. The handwriting was crooked, and one line of words could take up half of the page. She was both happy and proud of Bai Zhaomei.
Bai Zhaomei is indeed the person she likes. Although his handwriting is not pretty, he is very brave when he goes into battle to kill the enemy.
"Your fifth brother also wrote to me." Cuicui said softly.
Therefore, she knew what Xiao Fuyuan said.
But what little Fuyuan didn't know was that her fifth brother's letters to home all showed how brave he was and how much he loved the scenery of the border desert.
In addition to showing these things, the letter to Cuicui also confided to Cuicui, such as missing home and sister and crying, falling from a horse while chasing the enemy and spending half a month there, and almost freezing his fingers when he was ambushing in a snowy night...
When Bai Zhaomei wrote this to Cuicui, she told her not to tell her family, especially her sister, to avoid worrying her family. Cuicui agreed in her heart.
At this time, we were talking about Bai Zhaomei, and I remembered the content of Bai Zhaomei's letter, and said to Xiao Fuyuan: "Sister, please tell me that Fifth Brother is safe."
Xiao Fuyuan nodded and said softly, "Fifth brother is safe and sound."
In fact, every night before she goes to bed and when she gets up, she says, "Fifth brother is safe."
She knew that war was cruel, and it was impossible for the fifth brother not to be injured, but fortunately, the fifth brother was able to save the day.
"By the way, Sister Cuicui, after you get married to Fifth Brother, will you also go to the border?" Feng Zhiheng asked.
Cuicui nodded.
After she gets married to Bai Zhaomei, she will definitely go to the border.
How do you say that, the husband sings and the wife follows.
Thinking of this, Cuicui's face turned red again.
"But after getting married, doesn't a woman have to stay at home and serve her parents-in-law?" Feng Zhiheng sighed.
The women around her are like this. For example, her father goes to the border to supervise the army, and her mother has to stay at home to take care of the whole family. Her third uncle is an official in the capital, and her third aunt has to serve her grandmother at the Zhou family's old house in Huaicheng. Even when my newly married eldest cousin went to Beijing to take the exam, my eldest cousin wanted to follow her so much that she didn't dare to mention it.
After being reminded by Feng Zhiheng, Cuicui also thought of this level.
In front of my future sister-in-law, I directly said that it would be too unfilial to follow Bai Zhaomei to the border.
But she heard Eugene Gui complain that when the second brother of the Bai family used to teach in a private school in the town, the second sister-in-law of the Bai family also had to stay in Shenshu Village.
"My family doesn't use it, my family doesn't have such rules." Xiao Fuyuan said.
"My eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law stayed at home because my eldest brother and second brother were at home. My fourth brother went to Nanyang to do business. If my fourth sister-in-law hadn't been Yaozong when she was still young, she could have gone with him. Now my fourth sister-in-law I took Yao Zong Yao Zu to the shop in Nanguan Town."
Xiao Fuyuan glanced at Cuicui and continued: "So if Sister Cuicui gets married to my fifth brother, you can go to the border or stay at home. My grandmother and mother will definitely not interfere."
She didn't believe it when others said this, but she believed it when Xiao Fuyuan said it.
But no, after the fourth sister-in-law got married, she got pregnant and gave birth to the child in Shenshu Village, and spent the rest of the time with the third brother of the Bai family.
Feng Zhiheng was very envious, and she also wanted to marry into the Bai family.
But looking at the Bai brothers, only Bai Panmei is not engaged.
But Bai Panmei.
Feng Zhiheng may have unconsciously regarded Bai Panmei as an elder like his fourth uncle because he often talked to Erlang in the Zhou family in Huaicheng.
"Your family is really nice." Feng Zhiheng said to Xiao Fuyuan.
"Sister Ah Heng, don't envy Sister Cuicui, you will be so free in the future." Xiao Fuyuan said.
Everyone said that Xiao Fuyuan was a good talker. Feng Zhiheng's mood became brighter, he smiled and lowered his voice and said: "I have broken off the engagement."
Xiao Fuyuan was not surprised at all, A Zhen had already mentioned it to her.
On the contrary, Cuicui was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Feng Zhiheng got engaged at a young age, and it was probably just like the baby marriage promised by her father. Seeing Feng Zhiheng's happy face, she must not like this marriage at all.
Cuicui thought about herself from her baby, and she didn't know what would happen to her father and the Luo family.
Cuicui sighed.
"Sister Cuicui, don't worry, you will definitely get married to my fifth brother." Xiao Fu said with big round eyes.
Cuicui was amused by Xiao Fuyuan's final marriage. The little kid actually knew so much.
"Sister is right. You and Fifth Brother have an engagement letter, but you don't have an engagement letter with the Luo family. There's no need to be afraid of them." Feng Zhiheng comforted Cuicui with a determined look on his face.
Cuicui sighed again and said, "I'm not worried about the Luo family, I'm worried about my father."
Xiao Fuyuan? ?
Feng Zhiheng? ?
"My father will definitely admit the engagement back then just to save face."
Cuicui felt heartbroken because she had been hastily promised to her while she was still in her mother's belly.
She had only met this person named Luo Zhi once. She went out to buy hair oil that day and met her as soon as she left. This person called him Sister Ning, and she didn't like his frivolous tone and eyes.
But my father liked him quite a lot and said he was a scholar.
She was really afraid that if her father insisted on recognizing the engagement with the Luo family and asked her to break off the engagement with Bai Zhaomei, what would she do?
She believed her father could do this.
When it comes to marriage matters, not even the prefect's uncle can make the final decision.
"Sister Cuicui, what do you think if your father insists on choosing the Luo family?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.
"I definitely don't want to." Cuicui said.
Xiao Fuyuan nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you persist, you can marry my fifth brother."
Cuicui was silent after hearing this, and silently insisted in her heart that she would only marry Bai Zhaomei.
…
It was late at night, Xiao Fuyuan and Feng Zhiheng finished talking and fell asleep.
Cuicui blew out the lamp and tossed and turned.
Her guess was correct. Her father had already made a fuss at the prefect's house in front of Bai Dazhuang at night and wanted to terminate the engagement with the Bai family.
